"Captain!!!"

Li Aiguo didn't dare to look.

After being washed away, He Tingchuan held onto a big tree with one hand, grabbed the little girl who was about to be washed away by the flood, and pulled her up the tree with gritted teeth, with veins bulging on his forehead and neck.

Using his last bit of strength, he carried the little girl little by little, and before the big tree was washed away by the flood, Li Aiguo and his men pulled her to a safe place.

Li Aiguo was so scared that he wiped his tears: "Captain, if anything happens to you, my sister-in-law and Xiao Nian Gao will be so sad!"

"Bah, I'm fine!" He Tingchuan wanted to move his arm, but found that he had no strength at all. The pain made him realize that his arm was dislocated.

Now is not the time for treatment, so He Tingchuan carried the little girl on his back again and evacuated to a safe place with Li Aiguo and others with difficulty.

I don’t know how long I walked, but the little girl who was mumbling on my back suddenly stopped talking.

He Tingchuan looked back and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Uncle Soldier, is my leg incurable?" The little girl's legs were numb from the pain and she could no longer feel the existence of her legs. She knew that even if she survived, she would be a disabled person.

Both her parents are gone, and now she has no legs. How will she live?

"Only the doctor's opinion counts. Don't let your imagination run wild. The doctor is very capable and can definitely cure your leg." Li Aiguo knew that He Tingchuan was not the kind of person who could comfort others. He was afraid that He Tingchuan would irritate the little girl, so he tried to appease her.

He Tingchuan gave Li Aiguo an appreciative look.

The little girl's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Li Aiguo nodded.

The little girl looked at He Tingchuan, who was silent. Meeting her eyes full of expectation and hope, He Tingchuan nodded: "Really."

The little girl smiled, then thought of something, and her smile turned bitter and sad: "But I don't have a father, a mother, a brother or a sister. They... they are all buried under it."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Li Aiguo knew that he must not say anything discouraging at this time.

If the desire to survive in my heart disappears, I will no longer want to live.

Li Aiguo said: "They are watching you from heaven. They definitely hope that you will live well and that you will live your share as well."

The little girl thought about the words of comfort her parents gave her when they were oppressed, telling her not to cry, to live well, and to remember to come back to see them when she grew up...

Unable to hold back her tears, the little girl lay on He Tingchuan's back and cried loudly.

Li Aiguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that he could still cry proved that everything was fine.

He Tingchuan walked like a walking corpse carrying the person on his back for an unknown amount of time. In the distance, he seemed to see light, as if he saw hope. They looked at each other, and their heavy legs seemed to have strength again.

In the pouring rain, when they walked into the light, Li Aiguo and others fell down.

He Tingchuan was also on the verge of collapse, and he shouted to the people who came over: "Save them...save them!"

The rescuers looked at the group of people emerging from the mud and water, were stunned for a moment, and then they got busy and tried to accommodate them.

When the doctor checked, he found that none of them were healthy.

Either a leg or an arm was broken, or one person was already dead, but they didn't notice.

Looking at this scene, everyone present felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness, dullness and depression.

When He Tingchuan woke up again, he was already in the tent. There was a lot of noise all around him. When he woke up, he saw the nurse changing his dressing. Seeing that he was awake, she smiled soothingly: "You're awake, don't worry, you've all been saved."

"That... little girl..." He Tingchuan's voice was hoarse and rough: "The little girl lost her legs, but luckily she survived."

He Tingchuan: “…”

The nurse suddenly thought of something and said soothingly, "That's already considered fortunate. Many people are still buried down there. Many people were only found dead bodies when they were dug out. She's alive thanks to you."

"You, the people from the artillery regiment, have not brought shame to our soldiers." The nurse saluted.

He Tingchuan wanted to reply, but his hands couldn't move.

The nurse explained, "Your hands were dislocated and your ligaments were strained. They have been reset, but you will need to rest for a few days. Rest assured."

He Tingchuan asked: "Where are the others in our artillery regiment?"

The nurse looked beside him.

Li Aiguo and several other people were in a coma. They had no time to rest on this mission. They evacuated the residents as soon as they arrived and were later buried by the earthquake. After they finally managed to save themselves, they rescued others along the way.

In the end, he was almost washed away by a mudslide.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-or-death situation.

He Tingchuan lay down obediently, knowing that he was not dead, Li Aiguo and the others were still alive, and the little girl was still alive.

He did everything he could.

I don't know what the situation is like at the base.

When He Tingchuan was recuperating in the disaster area, his parents were extremely worried. They had trouble eating, drinking, and sleeping every day, and the two old people seemed to have aged ten years.

Until the news came that He Tingchuan was safe, the old couple almost hugged each other and cried.

Mother He wiped her tears and said, "I'm glad you're okay. If there's no more news, I don't know how to explain it to Xiaoyun and Nian Gao."

"Okay, everyone says your son is not stupid, nor is he a useless person. An earthquake can leave him there." He's father was a wise man after the event.

Mother He rolled her eyes. She didn't know who had almost stomped a few holes in the ground with the crutch. She couldn't sleep all night and drank cup after cup of strong tea.

Say this now.

He's mother didn't even bother to expose him.

After getting the accurate information, He's mother immediately called Yun Jin.

Usually she takes the initiative, but this time when He's mother called, Yun Jin didn't dare to answer.

The operator, Xiao He, was puzzled: "Why isn't my sister-in-law answering the phone? She's about to hang up."

Yun Jin hesitated for a second, then answered the phone with a fearless attitude: "Mom, is there any news about Nian Gao's father?"

Mother He smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, there is news about him. He is safe and sound, just suffered some minor injuries. He is now recuperating in the rescue camp."

"Really?" Yun Jin held the phone. "Mom, don't lie to me. I can hold on. Tell me the truth. He's really fine. If he's not fine, I'd rather you just give me the same perfunctory treatment as you did the past two days."

Mother He: “…”

So she knows everything?

Mother He felt guilty: "I'm sorry, Xiaoyun, it's all my fault. Back then, the third child was missing, and it's all in ruins over there, with aftershocks continuing. We were so far away that we couldn't help at all. I lied to you to avoid worrying you."

Yun Jin shook her head: "I know you are doing this for my own good, so is he really okay now?"

"He's really fine. Mom swears that I didn't lie to you this time. He is being treated now. Compared with those people who have lost limbs, he only has minor injuries." Mother He was happier than anyone else knowing that her son was safe.

Naturally, she would not curse He Tingchuan, as she was unsure about it before.

Fortunately, God blesses me and my son is safe.

Yun Jin breathed a sigh of relief. "Could you please tell Mom to give him a message and ask him to call me? I want to hear his voice."

He's mother explained, "The electricity and communications there aren't very good right now, so I'm afraid it'll be difficult to make phone calls."

"Don't worry, Mom. As long as he wants to, he will definitely let me hear his voice. Just let me be willful for once!" Yun Jin was too afraid that this was a dream, so she wanted to hear his voice to confirm.

Mother He agreed to Yun Jin's request.

He Tingchuan called on the third day.

Li Aimei knew it was He Tingchuan calling, and she anxiously said to Yun Jin, "Sister-in-law, ask how my brother is doing. Did he also go to the disaster area? Is he okay?"
