Waiting was the most torturous.
Mi Xaing 'er looked at the forest in the distance. Although she was standing in the same spot, her heart had already flown to Yun Laohu. Her mind was filled with the last moment when he sat in the Jeep and wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Gu Dalong felt guilty. He was Yun Jingting's orderly, and at the same time, he had the mission of protecting the regiment commander. But at this moment, he was standing in a safe place, while the chief was still missing in the mountains.
Although it was not because he wanted to escape, he still felt guilty about his duty.
He simply stomped his foot. "No, I'll go back and take a look immediately!"
This 18 and a half year old "soldier" also showed a brave and fearless side in the face of life and death.
Wu Zhifei pondered for a moment. There was still a dud left. If Yun Jingting was injured and couldn't move freely, then the consequences would be …
He immediately made a decision. "In this situation, we have to act as soon as possible. Comrade Gu Dalong, you are more familiar with the situation in the mountains. You and Liu Shaoxi go up the mountain together. You must meet Head Of Yun!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
With two clear replies, Gu Dalong and Liu Shaoxi immediately prepared to set off.
Mi Xaing 'er grabbed Gu Dalong. "I'll go too!"
She did not feel that she was being reckless at all. She just could not wait here and do nothing.
"This …" Gu Dalong looked at Wu Zhifei inquisitively. "Political Commissar, what do you think?"
Wu Zhifei frowned. "Comrade Xiao Mi, don't be ridiculous. This is a moment of life and death. As soldiers, we have to rush forward without hesitation. You're just a commoner. It's better for you to wait here!"
After a pause, he felt that he was being too harsh, so he softened his tone. "I understand how you feel right now, but I can't agree to let you take the risk!"
These words were clear and reasonable, yet simple and clear.
What about Mi Xaing 'er?
Why would she listen to him obediently?
She blurted out almost immediately, "Of course I understand that this is a matter of life and death. That's why I have to clarify my relationship with Head Of Yun."
She was shocked by the words that she was about to blurt out and quickly swallowed them back. "Anyway, I'm not from the army. I don't need to listen to your orders. I'm now asking to go up the mountain as a medical staff. Whether you agree or not, I'm going. No one can stop me."
He turned to Hsu Mingwei and said, "Brother Xu, please be my witness. I know there's one more dud that hasn't gone off, and I'm fully aware of the dangers of going up the mountain this time. If anything happens to me, it has nothing to do with the army. It's my personal decision."
She was stubborn enough. Once she set her mind on something, not to mention the political commissar, even the Heavenly King would not be able to stop her.
When he said these words, his voice was powerful and resonant. His expression was resolute and unquestionable stubbornness.
Wu Zhifei lowered his head and muttered to himself for a moment. She had already walked in front of him with large strides, leaving behind only a thin but firm back view.
That's how it is.
The Military Commissar had no choice. He couldn't possibly go up and stop her, right?
Gu Dalong immediately expressed his stance. "Reporting. Please rest assured, Commissar. I will definitely protect Comrade Mi Xaing 'er's safety."
He hurriedly ran after her and walked in front of Mi Xaing 'er to protect her. Although he didn't say it out loud, his eyes were filled with admiration and gratitude. This sister-in-law of his was really capable at such a critical moment. In the face of danger, she didn't abandon the regiment commander or be at a loss. Instead, she took the initiative to attack without hesitation.
The moment the three of them turned the corner of the mountain …
They heard a "bang" sound halfway up the mountain as the second dud went off.
Mi Xaing 'er had no other thoughts in her mind. Her safety, danger, life, and death were not important at this moment. She just wanted to immediately confirm whether Yun Jingting was safe and sound.
After identifying the direction of the sound, she sprinted towards it at a speed of 100 meters. Her movements were so fast that even Gu Dalong was shocked. He hurriedly reached out to grab her, but he caught nothing. He could only chase after her and shout, "Sister-in-law, it's dangerous!"
He was a well-trained soldier, but he still couldn't catch up to Mi Xaing 'er. In his heart, he was still thinking that his sister-in-law's speed could break the military's sprinting record.
From afar …
A person walked out from the dust.
Look at that strong and tall figure. It was Yun Jingting.
Mi Xaing 'er couldn't help but stop in her tracks. Her burning gaze searched his body anxiously. She saw that the man's footsteps were slow and even a little staggered. His originally fair and handsome face was covered by dust and sand. His usually neat military uniform was covered with thick mud stains. With a cold look, he looked like a walking clay figurine.
For a moment, Yun Jingting couldn't believe his eyes. He raised his hands foolishly and rubbed his eyes. When he saw Mi Xaing 'er's face clearly, a blissful smile hung on the corners of his mouth. He slowly walked towards her. When he got closer, his body staggered and his entire body fell towards her.
Mi Xaing 'er immediately opened her arms and caught Yun Jingting. She didn't know whether it was because she was anxious or Yun Jingting controlled the force of his fall. In any case, the man's tall figure landed steadily in Mi Xaing' er's arms. He didn't hurt her, nor did he fall on her.
She slowly stepped back and sat on the ground. She held Yun Jingting in her lap and lowered her head to look at him carefully. The man's thick eyelashes were tightly shut, as if he had already lost consciousness.
Gu Dalong rushed over and spoke with a sobbing tone, "Regiment Commander, Regiment Commander, what's wrong?"
He forcefully patted Mi Xaing 'er's shoulder. "Call out to him."
"Ah …"
"My mother said that when a person faints, the Black and White Impermanence will lead the way. At such a time, the person closest to him needs to call out to him. Only then can he be pulled back from the brink of death. You're the Regiment Commander's wife, so you're closest to him. Don't just stand there, hurry up and call out to him."
Mi Xaing 'er nodded. She understood. Putting aside the Black and White Impermanence for the time being, based on Yun Jingting's current condition, he might have internal injuries. It was indeed important to keep him conscious. She swallowed her saliva and her throat bobbed twice. "Head Of Yun, Head Of Yun."
Gu Dalong panicked. "Call out his name louder."
Mi Xaing 'er took a deep breath, tightened her arms, and shook the man's body. "Yun Jingting, Yun Jingting."
Each call was louder than the last.
Each call was louder than the last.
It was as if there were echoes in the mountains.
All of a sudden …
She felt the man's eyelashes tremble for a moment. "Yun Jingting, can you … can you hear me?"
Yun Laohu's eyes were still closed, but the corners of his mouth were curled up. "Stop shouting, I'm not deaf."
He slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and transparent, like an ink-black pool, reflecting the most beautiful morning sun in the mountains.
Gu Dalong saw this and jumped up. "I'll go down and call for help."
Mi Xaing 'er stared fixedly at the face in front of her. For a moment, she was in a daze. Before she could speak, she felt something' crawling 'on her lapel. She looked down and saw Yun Jingting's large hand moving up the curve of her waist and landing on her forearm. His slender fingertips slid slowly, leaving an unbearable scorching heat on her skin until he held her small hand.
Mi Xaing 'er struggled for a moment.
Yun Jingting's domineering whisper was half an order and half sweet. "Don't move. I'm tired. Let me lean on you and rest for a while."
----- Digression —
Oh my, this tiger. What should I do? No matter what the situation is, he doesn't forget to chase after his wife.
