Han Xinrui stayed at Director Yuan's house for a while before going home.
When we got back, it was already very late.
In order to get home earlier, Han Xinrui took a shortcut.
This is a small alley, but because it is quite remote, she rarely walks there.
While passing by the alley, Han Xinrui heard rustling sounds in the grass nearby.
When she heard the sound, she regretted taking a shortcut.
She bravely quickened her pace and walked through the bushes over there, but suddenly someone grabbed her foot. Han Xinrui screamed in fright.
She desperately tried to break free from the hands that were tightly holding her legs: "What are you doing? I don't have any money! There's a crackdown going on lately. If you act like a hooligan on the street, you'll be shot."
She shouted and pulled away the hands that were holding her legs.
"Help me!" A weak and hoarse voice sounded in the empty alley.
Han Xinrui was still struggling. She didn't dare to look down at all, and kept muttering, "Don't touch me! Go away!"
The man spoke again: "I'm from the Border Defense Command! I'm not a drifter! I was injured while on duty. If you can just send me back to the command, I'll thank you."
The man's voice was hoarse, like broken porcelain.
When Han Xinrui heard this, she paused her struggling. She took a flashlight in her hand and shone it on the man.
The flashlight was too dim, and she couldn't see the man's face clearly, but she could see his military uniform and the red star on his shoulder.
She squatted down and said, "Comrade, are you okay? I thought it was a gangster, so I was so scared! Are you injured? Do you need me to take you to a nearby clinic?"
The man shook his head and said to Han Xinrui, "Send me back to the military area! I have something important to tell you! Help me up quickly!"
After hearing this, Han Xinrui didn't ask any more questions. She supported the soldier and walked towards the military area on the border.
Three kilometers away from the fertilizer plant is the border military district.
Han Xinrui initially supported the man, but after walking for a while, she found that the man's leg was injured.
The man seemed to be in agony with every step he took.
"Comrade, I'll carry you!" Han Xinrui said without hesitation.
The man was obviously very anxious. He didn't refuse, but urged, "If you can carry me, carry me! I really have something important to tell you."
After hearing this, Han Xinrui stopped talking nonsense, squatted down and carried the man on her back.
Han Xinrui didn't have much strength, but she held her breath and carried the man on her back as she walked towards the military area.
Finally, at the last moment when Han Xinrui was exhausted, she carried the person to the border gate of the military district.
There were guards guarding that place. When they saw her coming, the two guards on duty immediately came over and surrounded her.
Han Xinrui was startled and immediately took out her flashlight: "Comrade, I'm here to see someone off! This comrade is injured and asked me to take him back to the military region."
When the two guards heard Han Xinrui's words, they immediately lifted the man off her.
They both shone their flashlights at the injured man, then both exclaimed, "Captain Fu!"
When Han Xinrui heard them calling the team leader, she was stunned: Is this man of such a high rank?
The two men took the man from Han Xinrui, thanked him, and hurried away.
The man grabbed Han Xinrui and asked with difficulty, "What's your name?"
Han Xinrui wasn't exactly a casual idiot. When she heard the man was the regiment leader and asked her name, she immediately and bluntly replied, "My name is Han Xinrui! I live in the staff quarters at the fertilizer factory over there!"
The man nodded: "Thank you."
Han Xinrui turned and left without saying anything more.
It was already midnight when she returned to the fertilizer factory's staff quarters.
