The unexpected fright in the middle of the night forced Jiang Yun to reconsider the safety of the rest of the journey.
Stationmaster Shi’s words reminded her that it was indeed much safer to be with the soldiers, and the key was the “soldiers”.
Only then did Jiang Yun understand Chen Yuanwu's intention of not allowing her to act alone.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.
She chose this path herself, so she had to find a way to reach her destination. Not only did she have to save Jiang Yonghua, she also had to return safely.
Wearing the military coat used by the stationmaster on duty, Jiang Jun curled up in the chair with his knees hugged and managed to take a nap.
Soon after the reveille sounded, the soldiers at the oil depot gathered for morning exercises.
Jiang Yun washed his face with water from the faucet at the kitchen door, asked the fireman for a few grains of coarse salt to brush his teeth, and smelled the fermenting dough, and suddenly felt hungry.
Stationmaster Shi had a soldier call Jiang Jun: "Stationmaster Shi wants you to hurry over! A car is coming!"
Jiang Jun asked, "Where's the car from? Is it from our college?"
The soldier shook his head: "No."
The number of cars coming to the No. 9 oil depot to refuel was beyond Jiang Jun's expectation. She naively thought that only the cars from the equipment department came here to refuel!
What if a kind-hearted person insists on sending her back to college?
Jiang Jun quickly shaved his hair with his fingers dipped in water, put on his military cap, carried his backpack, and hurried to where the truck was parked.
Stationmaster Shi shouted to Jiang Jun, "Xiaohong, their bus will be passing by your college soon. It'll only take about half an hour to walk back to the college from where you got off. If you wait here for your college's bus, you don't know how long it will take!"
The man who was watching the truck refueling with Station Master Shi at the fuel tank heard footsteps and turned around.
It’s Chen Zhenbao!
Jiang Jun stood at attention and saluted: "Yes! Thank you for your help, leaders!"
He took out the letter of certification and showed it to Chen Zhenbao: "Please read it!"
Chen Zhenbao was a little surprised to see Jiang Jun. Seeing that Jiang Jun pretended not to know him, he didn't say anything. He took the letter of certification and glanced at it. He saw Chen Yuanwu's name on it. "Have you prepared everything? We'll set off right after we refuel!"
Jiang Jun: "Everything is ready, we can set off at any time!"
The equipment department has a total of four vehicles, two for escort, one for weapons, and one for vehicle maintenance, which is filled with tools and spare oil bottles to ensure the safety of the vehicles.
Chen Zhen was cautious and asked Jiang Yun to sit in the tool car. He went to the cab of his escort vehicle, picked up a backpack and a shoulder bag, and threw them to her: "This is for Secretary Chen. You can take it to him later."
Jiang Jun took advantage of the fact that no one was around and said hurriedly, "I'm not going back to the academy. I want to go back to the military base."
Chen Zhenbao waved at the escort vehicle, asking them to start, then he jumped onto the tool vehicle and patted the top of the vehicle: "Drive!"
The car drove out of the oil depot gate. The person standing guard at the gate was Da Huang from the night before. There was a bruise on his face. Seeing Jiang Jun standing in the car, he quickly turned his face away.
Jiang Jun glared angrily, exhaled, and then explained to Chen Zhenbao, "Squad Leader Chen can't leave, so I'm going back to the base alone."
This excuse is actually very bad.
Chen Zhenbao's face showed "I don't believe it at all".
Jiang Jun explained again: "It's true, he's in the hospital. He was going to accompany me."
Chen Zhenbao was even more unconvinced: "Secretary Chen is not that kind of person!"
Jiang Jun was puzzled: "What's going on?"
Chen Zhenbao: "The letter of certification in your hand is not for going out at all."
Chen Yuanwu's prudence and thoughtfulness amazed the soldiers of the equipment department escorting the convoy.
Trying to hitchhike back to the base with just a letter of certification is obviously a sneak attack and is definitely not Chen Yuanwu's style!
Jiang Yun looked at Chen Zhenbao's empty hand: "Where's your gun?"
Chen Zhenbao pointed at the oil can and said, "There can't be weapons in the tool cart. Why?"
You still want to fight? With your small body, do you think you can win?
Jiang Jun looked at Chen Zhenbao's eyes, which showed distrust, and could only bring up Chen Yuanwu again: "Squad Leader Chen asked me to find you. He said you can definitely take care of me and get me to the border defense company safely."
Chen Zhenbao: "Why is it the border defense company again?"
Jiang Jun said anxiously, "Squad Leader Chen asked me to go to the border defense company to find his brother!"
The more you talk, the more confusing it becomes, and the less believable it becomes.
The car was faster than the tricycle and soon approached the college. The leading car had slowed down and someone in the driver's seat stretched out his hand to signal that Chen Zhenbao had arrived.
Jiang Jun's heart was set. "I'm pregnant. It's Squad Leader Chen. We went to the hospital, but they were preparing for battle. We couldn't find anyone Squad Leader Chen knew, so he told me to hide. I can't go back to the academy right now. I'm sure we'll be discovered, and Squad Leader Chen won't be able to escape."
Chen Zhenbao was stunned when he heard this. After a moment, he raised his hand and gestured, signaling the leading escort vehicle to continue moving.
Well, this news is so explosive!
Chen Yuanwu, Chen Yuanwu, I never thought you are such a Chen Yuanwu!
Chen Zhenbao actually believed it: "How do you want to hide?"
Just now, Stationmaster Shi said that a female soldier took a logistics medical vehicle from the field hospital to their oil depot in the middle of the night, and asked him to help bring the female soldier back to the academy.
It just happened to prove that the names written on the letter were Chen Yuanwu and Hong Jiangyun, so Chen Zhenbao no longer doubted Jiang Yun's words.
After all, a teenage girl who dares to say that she is pregnant in front of strangers is unlikely to lie. Who would joke about her own reputation?
Jiang Jun bit her lip. "There are barefoot doctors on the grasslands. I can go find them. Don't worry, when I get to the grasslands, I'll find a set of herders' clothes to wear. I will never appear in front of others in a military uniform."
Chen Zhenbao still couldn't fully process the fact that Chen Yuanwu had gotten someone pregnant before marriage: "What do you think, Secretary Chen?"
Should I go see a barefoot doctor or not?
Looking at Jiang Yun's young age, I'm afraid it's mostly unwanted.
Jiang Jun thought for a moment: "He said my life is important, he wants me to come back safely."
These are Chen Yuanwu’s original words, although they were not directed at the pregnancy.
Jiang Yun prayed silently, "I'm sorry, Captain Chen, we have to make an emergency decision!"
Chen Zhenbao didn't know what to say. Although he and Chen Yuanwu were good friends who could talk about anything, Chen Yuanwu hadn't told him anything about this matter. "What's going on with Hong Jiangyun?"
Jiang Jun explained: "It's for the base's confidentiality!"
Chen Zhenbao nodded, looking as if he understood.
