Chapter 859 80 Brother Soldier, a drop of water does not need to be repaid with your body 52
"Sister, every mission involves the possibility of sacrifice, especially disaster relief, where fire and water are merciless.
It might be a loose rock or a sudden undercurrent, but at least we are not at war anymore."
Seeing Miaomiao's expression tense, Sister Liu didn't say anything else.
But Sister Liu's words really made Miaomiao's heart sink to the bottom.
As I said, she always knew that Lu Jingxing's job was dangerous, but she had never felt it so vividly.
Especially since she knew that he was the son of destiny and would definitely be able to escape danger, her worries at this moment were still like being overwhelmed by the tide, making her feel a little uneasy.
There has been no news from him for over ten days. In the past, if he had a little time, he would definitely contact her...
In the days that followed, Miaomiao was always able to piece together the difficulties of disaster relief from the fragments of words from others.
I heard from the chef in the kitchen that the soldiers on the front line often could only eat one hot meal a day, and had to rely on dry food for the rest of the time; I heard from the signalmen that the signal was intermittent, and sometimes in order to transmit a message, they had to run for several miles in the rain and mud.
Some wounded soldiers who were sent back also said that in order to block a pipe burst, Captain Lu personally jumped into the icy flood water and directed the soldiers to carry sandbags. They did not come out until the danger was eliminated. When they came out, their lips were frozen purple.
With every word she heard, Miaomiao’s heart tightened a little.
She imagined Lu Jingxing soaking in the flood, imagined him gnawing on dry and hard steamed buns, imagined the dangers he might encounter. She often tossed and turned at night, unable to sleep, and could only touch the note that said "Wait for me to come back" over and over again, praying silently in her heart.
Half a month later, the sky finally cleared up in the early morning.
News came from the Logistics Department and the compound that the disaster relief troops had begun to withdraw. Miaomiao couldn't help but stand at the intersection early with the military families and wait.
From a distance, she saw the familiar army green team appear in her sight. Her heart beat rapidly and her eyes searched for the figure in the crowd without blinking.
But the team came closer little by little, the soldiers were carrying flags and bags, tired but upright, but she still didn't see Lu Jingxing.
At first she consoled herself, thinking he might be walking behind her. But even after the last soldier crossed the intersection, the familiar figure still hadn't appeared...
Miaomiao's face began to turn pale little by little, her fingertips were cold, and her head began to buzz. Sister Zhang's words "all missions involve the possibility of sacrifice" pierced her heart like needles.
This is an emotion that Miaomiao rarely experiences. Although the Virgin Mary clan is called the Virgin Mary, they are actually more like ruthless gods. They love everyone but will not feel heartbroken because of a person's death.
But now, Miaomiao, knowing that Lu Jingxing was the son of luck and nothing would happen to him, still became so nervous that she almost couldn't stand.
Until a familiar voice came from behind.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here? I just went to the family compound to look for you. Sister-in-law Li next door said you were here, so I hurried over."
Miaomiao turned around suddenly because of the familiar voice, and saw Lu Jingxing's bodyguard Qian Ge. He was covered in sweat and mud, and his face was full of fatigue.
"Brother Qian, where is Lu Jingxing?"
Miaomiao's voice trembled, but her body stood straight.
Xiao Qian felt relieved when he saw his sister-in-law like this. He was afraid that his sister-in-law would ignore him, and then the relationship between them in the Lu group would be really ruined.
Now it seems that everyone is happy.
"Tuan Lu is fine! He just got a few injuries and is in the military hospital.
When the rescue work was over, he insisted on letting the soldiers go back first, and stayed until the end to handle the finishing work. He was just sent over."
Her heart suddenly dropped to the ground, but Miaomiao's legs went weak and she almost collapsed on the ground.
Brother Qian helped her steady herself before beginning to explain.
"When evacuating people, a child was nearly swept away by the flood. In order to protect the child, Lu Tuan had a cut on his waist and abdomen caused by a stone in the water.
At the time, I was so busy saving people that I didn’t take it seriously. Later, I developed an infection and had to go to the hospital.”
Miaomiao followed Brother Qian to the military hospital. Her mind was in a mess all the way. It was not until she stood at the door of the ward and saw Lu Jingxing lying on the bed that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He seemed to be asleep, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, and his waist and abdomen were wrapped in thick gauze, through which traces of blood could be faintly seen.
The man who usually stood as tall and straight as a pine tree was now lying weakly on the bed, even his breathing was slightly sluggish.
Miaomiao walked over lightly, sat on the chair beside the bed, and watched him sleeping.
His brow bones were still sharp, and his nose was still straight, but he had lost his usual heroic aura and looked a bit more fragile.
She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch his cheek, but was afraid of waking him up, so her fingertips paused in mid-air, and finally landed lightly on the back of his hand.
His hands were very hot, carrying the heat of illness. An indescribable heartache surged in Miaomiao's heart. Her eyes were slightly hot, and she couldn't help but gently stroked the other's fingertips...
Then, Miaomiao discovered that Lu Jingxing's fingers seemed to curl up slightly unconsciously. Miaomiao's heart moved, but she felt vaguely that something seemed wrong.
Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously raised her hand and gently touched his lips with her fingertips.
The touch there is soft and seems to have a slightly cool temperature.
As a result, as soon as her fingertips left, Miaomiao saw Lu Jingxing's ears suddenly turn red. Then, the red spread along his neck, and it was particularly conspicuous against his pale skin...
- -|||
He is pretending to sleep!
The sadness and heartache that had risen in Miaomiao's heart instantly faded away, and was replaced by a sense of both laughter and laughter.
This man, even though he was injured like this, still didn't forget to play this kind of trick. Is it true that men stay young until they die?
She looked at him steadily, deliberately keeping a straight face, and murmured in a calm tone.
"We've been apart for so long, I've thought about it, we should just break up..."
Before Miaomiao could finish her words, Lu Jingxing suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were extremely clear, without any trace of drowsiness, but they were full of shock and panic, as if he had heard something unacceptable.
"no!"
Lu Jingxing struggled to sit up, but the wound on his waist and abdomen was affected, and he gasped in pain.
Fine beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, but he didn't care about that. He stared at Miaomiao with stubbornness in his eyes.
"I don't agree, even if I die!"
He originally thought that by getting hurt, he could make Miaomiao feel more sorry for him, be closer to him, and get more love from her.
But I didn't expect that this heartless little thing not only didn't feel sorry for me, but also wanted to break up with me?
Anyway, he didn't hear it, he just wanted to marry her. He was kissed, and his innocence was hers.
Thinking of this, Lu Jingxing hugged Miaomiao again and bit her on the mouth.
"You kissed me, so you have to be responsible for me!
I'll be responsible for you, okay?"
