Yun Jingting held Mi Xaing 'er's small hand and took the opportunity to pull her into his arms. The man's large palm wrapped around her tightly, and his rough fingertips rubbed against her delicate palm.
Mi Xaing 'er struggled, and Yun Jingting immediately hissed. She did not dare to move, afraid that it would affect the man's wound. She lowered her head and saw a dark red spot on his trouser leg. She immediately asked softly, "How are you feeling? Does your leg hurt?"
"Shh, don't talk. Let me lean on you to rest."
The man's slightly tired words softened Mi Xaing 'er's heart. It was easy to affect a woman's feelings when he showed weakness to her.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Zhifei came over. "Tiger, you're injured?"
Yun Jingting smiled casually. "I'm fine. Don't worry. I didn't die on the battlefield. How can repairing a canal bring glory to me? I can't afford to lose that face."
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. "Where's Chen Jiefang?"
"Don't worry. I've sent someone to send him to the hospital. Hsu Mingwei is also with him. According to him, Chen Jiefang's head wound needs to be stitched up. It shouldn't be life-threatening."
Yun Jingting let out a long sigh. "I knew it. He's behind me. Even if there's glory, it won't be his turn."
Although his words were understated, Mi Xaing 'er knew best that this man had just walked in a big circle in order to protect his soldiers.
She silently looked at Yun Laohu's side profile. Her heart surged with pity, heartache, and some admiration. In short, all kinds of emotions came one after another. She did not know which one prevailed. She just felt reluctant to look away, even if it was just one more look at him.
Yun Jingting suddenly turned his face and happened to catch her gaze. He squinted his eyes and smiled as if he could read her heart. Although his voice was low, his tone was as if he was coaxing a child. "Don't worry. I'm fine."
Quietly, he flipped his palm and hooked his fingers around hers.
Before Mi Xaing 'er could say anything, they heard an ear-piercing beeping sound coming from the mountains. An ambulance suddenly stopped in front of them. A few paramedics quickly jumped out of the ambulance. They carried a stretcher and rushed towards Yun Laohu.
Yun Jingting frowned and reached out to stop her. "What are you doing?"
Wu Zhifei hurriedly explained, "Old Tiger, regarding this incident, I have already reported the situation to the military. The leader has instructed that since someone is injured, we must not let our guard down. We must go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination."
"Ah, so formal." Yun Jingting shook her head with a wry smile and turned to Mi Xaing 'er. "Help me up. I can walk on my own. I don't need a stretcher."
When Mi Xiang 'er heard this, she immediately pushed half of her body over.
She did not have any other thoughts. She only felt that she was repaying a debt of gratitude.
One of Yun Jingting's long arms wrapped around her shoulders, and with a tug, he stood up. His tall figure pressed down on her, and Mi Xiang 'er naturally wrapped her arms around the man's waist. She could vaguely feel the hard and bulging muscles under the military uniform.
The two of them had never been so close to each other before. They were so close that there was almost no gap between them. She could not help but feel her heart pounding. She quickly lowered her head and looked at the ground. She did not have the courage to look up at him. For some reason, she was a little scared. She was scared of those deep and affectionate eyes.
She did not know how they walked to the side of the ambulance.
She only remembered the last sentence. Yun Jingting gazed at her gently. "Go home first. Don't follow me to the hospital. It's so noisy. You will be more worried that I will look for you once I leave the hospital."
Mi Xaing 'er was in a daze. Before she could nod, the door of the ambulance closed. Wu Zhifei quickly added, "Comrade Xiao Mi, Old Tiger is afraid that you will be worried. It's good that you go home first. His injuries should not be a problem."
Before they got into the car, he said, "Your actions today have impressed me. Okay, thank you. I will get someone to send you back."
Mi Xaing 'er could vaguely see the medical staff treating Yun Laohu's wounds through the window. However, Yun Jingting only looked at her stubbornly. There was a gratified smile on his face. He raised his hand slightly and gestured for her to go home.
The ambulance sped away.
Mi Xaing 'er instinctively followed behind. Then, she realized that she was a little silly. She quickly stopped in her tracks. However, her eyes could not help but follow the ambulance until it disappeared at the foot of the mountain.
In the county hospital.
In the ward on the second floor, Gu Dalong wrung out a hot towel and handed it to Yun Jingting. "Regiment Commander, it's finally quiet now. Oh my God, the nurses and doctors who came in and out just now, as well as the people from the military, made my head hurt."
Yun Jingting sat up halfway and took the towel to wipe his face. He leaned against the pillow comfortably and was in an exceptionally good mood. "That's right. My calf is just grazed. It will be fine after it is bandaged. Why do I have to be hospitalized? I am a soldier. When I go to the battlefield, I have suffered all kinds of injuries. I am not so delicate. The construction of the canal on the mountain is urgent."
Gu Dalong did not wait for him to finish speaking. "Regiment Commander, don't tell me you want to sneak back. That won't do. My mission is to keep an eye on you. Before the political commissar went back, he specially told me that he will be in charge of the work over there. He wants you to recuperate in peace."
"You little rascal. How dare you keep an eye on me when you have grown so capable?" Yun Jingting glared at him and twisted his body awkwardly on the bed. "Dalong, let me ask you. Why did Mi Xaing 'er run up the mountain? Didn't she know that there were squatters? Why did she rush up the mountain like a fool? Did she want to die?"
At the mention of this topic, Gu Dalong could not stop bragging. "Regiment Commander, Sister-in-law came as a medical staff member. When she heard that you were alone with the squatters, her expression changed. No one could stop her. She insisted on going up the mountain."
"Ah." Yun Jingting felt sweet in his heart. "Why is she so stubborn? Didn't anyone explain the danger to her?"
"Of course we did. How could the Political Commissar make mistakes when handling matters?" Gu Dalong continued with a smile of exultation. "But didn't our Sister-in-law hear what the Political Commissar's Sister-in-law said?"
He rolled his eyes. He was also a clever person. He specialized in saying what Yun Jingting liked to hear. "Our Sister-in-law said that the person on the mountain is my man. No matter what happens, I want to go up the mountain. No one can stop me."
My man?
Yun Jingting was so happy that his snot bubble could be used as a lamp. "Mi Xaing 'er really said that. Those were her exact words."
"Yes, those are her exact words." Gu Dalong was really not afraid of blowing up the matter. He continued to add fuel to the fire. "Sister-in-law also said that no matter what happens, she wants to be with you. Life and death …"
"Scram!" Yun Jingting scolded him jokingly. "I believe you!"
She knew best whether she believed him or not.
She believed him.
She believed him.
He rolled over on the bed happily. He did not feel the pain in his leg anymore. He began to hum softly. "Our team is like the sun, stepping on the motherland's land."
Gu Dalong smiled and looked at him. "Regiment Commander, isn't it beautiful?"
"Scram! You're asking for a kick!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward slowly opened.
Gu Dalong turned his head to take a look. He immediately stood up straight and looked solemn. "Hello, Commander!"
