Chapter 145 You Must Be Responsible for Me
After a slight hesitation, Qiao Yanxin did not tell Ji Yanli about the business trip to Beijing with Fengtai next month.
Lest he start to have wild thoughts again.
In fact, not long after hanging up the phone, Ji Yanli had forgotten all about Fengtai.
The conditions at the temporary command post were harsh and there was no way to take a shower, so Ji Yanli fetched a bucket of well water, brushed his teeth, washed his face and feet, and then went to bed.
After a tiring day, I fell asleep as soon as I got to the bed.
In the middle of the night, thunder exploded above his head and Ji Yanli woke up with a start.
Oh no, it’s going to rain again.
Ji Yanli jumped out of bed and glanced at his watch. It was six o'clock in the morning.
Ji Yanli walked out of the tent quickly. The sky was covered with dark clouds and it looked like a heavy rain was about to fall.
The soldiers have begun to stockpile sandbags in preparation for further reinforcement of the levee.
Ji Yanli was about to go up to check the condition of the dam when Sun Hongwei, deputy commander of the Jingshi Military Region, came over and said in a low voice, "Commander Ji, someone is here!"
"Who?"
Ji Yanli followed Sun Hongwei's gaze and discovered that there was a little girl standing behind Sun Hongwei.
Ji Yanli thought it was a girl from a nearby village who had run away. He raised his eyebrows and said hurriedly, "Just arrange for someone to send this girl back. It will rain heavily soon and it will be difficult to travel."
Sun Hongwei whispered again: "Huang Yingying, the daughter of the director of the Jingshi Chemical Plant. Director Huang made a phone call and got his daughter in, saying that he wanted to help us fight the flood!"
Ji Yanli's scrutinizing gaze fell on Huang Yingying, only to find that she was tall and thin, like a large bean sprout.
Ji Yanli knew that Huang Yingying came here ostensibly to fight the flood, but in fact she came here to "gild herself".
Many families in official circles will pave the way for their children early on.
For example, let your children visit the disaster area. No matter what they come for, as long as they come, their resume will look much better when they return. Once they enter politics, they will have the weight for promotion.
Ji Yanli always hated such hypocritical and exaggerated behavior, so he quickly retracted his gaze and said casually, "You decide on the arrangements!"
The moment Huang Yingying saw Ji Yanli, her eyes slightly widened and she stood there in a daze.
The man in front of him had slanted eyebrows and slightly raised eyebrows, revealing a bit of coldness and heroism.
His nose is high and straight, his thin lips have firm lines, and his facial features look like a carefully crafted work of art. His handsomeness reveals the tough temperament unique to a soldier, which makes people unable to take their eyes off him.
Huang Yingying was uncontrollably moved and couldn't help but sigh: "What a monster!"
Seeing Ji Yanli was about to leave, Huang Yingying mustered up the courage to run up to him and shouted, "Captain Ji, my name is Huang Yingying, I'm nineteen years old, I just finished the college entrance examination, and I'm here to help you fight the floods and provide disaster relief.
Captain Ji, please don't treat me as an ordinary girl. Just think of what I can do and make all the arrangements for me! ”
Ji Yanli glanced at Huang Yingying sternly and said briefly, "Follow the arrangements made by Captain Sun!"
"No, I want to follow your instructions! I want to be your soldier!"
Ji Yanli asked, "Are you sure you want to be my soldier?"
"Sure! Captain Ji, I'll follow you wherever you go."
Ji Yanli inexplicably felt that Huang Yingying was annoying and clingy like glue.
He raised his hand and pointed at the woman in front who was filling sandbags.
"Go help those aunties and sisters fill the sandbags!"
The disaster was so severe that laborers from nearby villages, both men and women, voluntarily joined the flood fighting team.
The women wielded shovels to put sand into sacks, while the men followed the soldiers to carry sandbags to block the dam.
Huang Yingying: “…”
She opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She came here to gild herself, but Ji Yanli really treated her like a rural woman and ordered her around? He actually ordered her to fill sandbags with the women in the village?
Ji Yanli said this and walked away without caring about Huang Yingying's reaction.
Huang Yingying looked at Sun Hongwei aggrievedly.
"Uncle Sun..."
Sun Hongwei could tell at a glance that Huang Yingying had ulterior motives towards Ji Yanli.
I also think she deserves it.
If he could seduce any woman, it would be impossible for Ji Yanli to still be unmarried.
"Yingying, you said you wanted to serve as a soldier for Captain Ji, so follow Captain Ji's instructions and fill the sandbags."
After saying this, he ran away trying not to laugh.
Huang Yingying stared at Ji Yanli's back and stamped her feet, muttering softly, "You don't know how to be gentle with women at all!"
It has been raining heavily these days, and all the sand has been wet.
Before Huang Yingying reached the embankment, her white sneakers were already covered in mud, and her new skirt was also splashed with a lot of mud.
Huang Yingying was born clean and couldn't stand this kind of dirt at all. After a little thought, she turned around and walked towards the turbulent river.
She grew up in Beijing and had no idea how terrible a flood could be. Plus, she had learned to swim and was full of confidence, so she didn't take the flood seriously at all.
Huang Yingying picked up a big stone, stood on it carefully, slowly bent down, and scooped up the flood water to wash the mud and sand off her shoes.
It had just rained and the stones were wet and slippery. Huang Yingying accidentally slipped into the water.
The rushing flood immediately swept her downstream. The water was so strong that Huang Yingying had no control over the direction at all. No matter how she struggled, she could only let the flood sweep her away.
She was scared and shouted with all her might, "Help!"
Fortunately, Huang Yingying was not washed into the middle of the river, but just rolled downstream not far from the shore.
"Captain Ji, someone fell into the water!"
Ji Yanli happened to be standing in front of the dam, and he was closest to Huang Yingying. When he heard the shouting, he did not rush into the water.
The water is so fierce that if you jump into the water rashly to save someone, not only will you fail to save the person, you may also die.
"Bring me a rope!"
Someone immediately threw a hemp rope over, and Ji Yanli tied it around his waist in no time.
Several soldiers rushed over and grabbed the other end of the hemp rope tightly.
When everything was ready, Ji Yanli jumped into the water, holding on to the river bank, and swam hard towards Huang Yingying.
Huang Yingying was dizzy from the river water. Suddenly, a pair of strong hands picked her up and dragged her by the waist to swim towards the shore.
After seeing clearly that the person who rescued her was Ji Yanli, Huang Yingying couldn't help but feel overjoyed. After hesitating for a moment, she hooked her two wet arms around Ji Yanli's neck.
The postures of the two suddenly seemed very ambiguous.
"Captain Ji, I, I'm scared..."
Ji Yanli was trying his best to swim towards the shore, but the water was too strong and he was dragging someone with him, so he couldn't free his hands to push Huang Yingying's arm away, so he shouted coldly and rudely: "Let go!"
Huang Yingying had never been treated so roughly before and felt extremely aggrieved.
"Captain Ji, are you being mean to me?"
Ji Yanli shouted again: "Let go! Otherwise I will let go!"
As soon as he let go, Huang Yingying would be washed away by the flood again. Of course, human life is at stake, he would not give up anyone's life at will. He was just threatening Huang Yingying.
"I'll just let go, why are you being so mean to me?"
Huang Yingying reluctantly let go of her hand. She inexplicably felt that Ji Yanli's aura had become colder and harder, which made her feel frightened.
Ji Yanli didn't even bother to say a word. He simply grabbed Huang Yingying by the back of her collar and swam towards the shore as quickly as possible.
Although this method is extremely physically demanding, it can help you avoid physical contact with her as much as possible.
When Ji Yan dragged Huang Yingying to the shore, the soldiers who had been waiting nervously on the shore immediately threw over a long rope.
Ji Yanli pulled one end of the rope and wrapped it around Huang Yingying's waist a few times. After making sure it was tied firmly, he shouted, "Pull!"
The people on the shore worked together to pull Huang Yingying up.
Ji Yanli was also dragged ashore.
Huang Yingying opened her mouth and gasped like a dried-up giant salamander.
Ji Yanli glanced at her sternly, said nothing, then turned and went into the tent to change clothes.
What he didn't expect was that that afternoon, Huang Yingying actually came into his tent with tears in her eyes, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.
"Captain Ji, the villagers said that you were bullying me by hugging me, and that you must be responsible for me..."
