Chapter 624: Injured

The two had wanted to say more, but then heard Fu Yan Cheng say, "Execute the order."

After all, at the brink of life and death, no matter how many thoughts they had, they didn't dare delay any longer.

Hearing Fu Yan Cheng say, "Move."

After Cheng Xiaoliang helped Jiang Changlin pull his foot out of the shoe, he quickly pressed that big rock down on top of it.

Fu Yan Cheng pressed down hard on the military spikes in both hands: "Fall back."

Cheng Xiaoliang held up Jiang Changlin, whose legs were trembling, and retreated at top speed with reddened eyes.

After reaching the safe zone, the two turned around with worried faces to look back.

They saw Fu Yan Cheng roll away from the spot just in time, but before his next move, the landmine exploded.

The two cried out in anguish at the same time: "Deputy Battalion Commander!"

When the explosion was over and they rushed over, Fu Yan Cheng had already passed out.

Fortunately, he happened to have his back to the direction of the landmine at the time, so all the injuries were on his back, and his back was covered in blood.

Just as she had come out the main gate with Liu Zhihuan to go to work together, she sneezed without any warning.

Liu Zhihuan joked, "Someone's missing you."

After saying that, she laughed.

Liu Chuxue had just been about to say that was superstition when she sneezed several more times in a row.

Just as she went down the slope and was about to reach the grain-drying ground, she heard the village loudspeaker blare: "Chuxue, Liu Chuxue, you have a phone call."

Liu Zhihuan nudged her with her elbow: "Go on, quick."

Liu Chuxue could only run toward the village committee under everyone's gaze.

The moment she stepped through the village committee gate, she saw the Party Branch Secretary pacing at the office door: "Uncle Secretary."

Seeing her arrive, the Party Branch Secretary said: "Quick, quick, quick, the phone will call back any moment."

Seeing how anxious he was, Liu Chuxue asked: "Uncle Secretary, where is the phone call from?"

The Party Branch Secretary walked inside as he replied: "It's from the military side, they say there's an urgent matter and they're looking for you."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue's heart skipped a beat.

A call from the military was clearly related to Fu Yan Cheng—after all, apart from him, she didn't know any other soldiers.

And it was urgent—could it be that he was injured?

While she was letting her thoughts run wild, the phone rang.

The Party Branch Secretary gestured for Liu Chuxue to answer it.

Liu Chuxue didn't hesitate, she stepped forward and picked up: "Hello, this is Liu Chuxue."

Hearing it was Liu Chuxue, the person on the other end said: "This is the military hospital, our Battalion Commander Fu is injured........"

Before he could finish, Liu Chuxue cut him off: "How is he? Is his life in danger?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Deputy Battalion Commander Fu is not in danger for the moment, but after the wound was treated, he's been running a high fever.

He's delirious from the fever, but he keeps calling your name. We contacted Deputy Battalion Commander Fu's family, then called the factory, and after going through several people we finally got the village's number. Please don't blame us, sister-in-law."

"I won't. I'll set off right now."

"Sister-in-law, just take the bus straight to the city. I'll have someone pick you up at the bus station."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Well, there was no way she could finish her shift now: "Uncle Secretary, I'll be going first."

With that, she took off running toward home.

Just as she reached the bottom of the slope, Liu's mother, who had come out to pick beans at the main gate, spotted her: "Why are you back?"

"Mom, Yan Cheng is injured, I have to go back to the city."

Hearing this, Liu's mother grew anxious too: "Where is he hurt? Is it serious?"

"The person who called said his life isn't in danger, but after the wound was treated, he started running a fever, and now he's a bit delirious."

"Then hurry and pack your things."

Thinking of something, she quickly added: "You'll be faster on your bike. Just leave the bike at your Seventh Grandfather's place when you get there."
