Chapter 239: Infant's Crying

An Yinan thought for a moment, "Eat less sugar."

Zhang Qian was addicted to sugar; she had known since they first met that this guy would sneakily eat sugar and was afraid of others finding out.

He thought he was being careful, but in reality, everyone who knew, knew.

But thinking about it later, it might also be that he just wanted to expose a flaw, for the sake of a mission, or for the persona he was maintaining at the time.

However, it was also true that he liked eating sugar!

As for the sugar in the house, apart from Dani, Xiaokang, and Er Dan, only this guy ate the most.

"Why?" Zhang Qian asked.

An Yinan rubbed her brow, "Excessive sugar intake makes you stupid!"

Although this referred to the fact that excessive sugar intake during a child's development process would affect their growth and development.

But that didn't stop An Yinan from saying it to Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian didn't stop his movements, but he frowned, "An Yinan, don't bully me... bully me for being stupid!"

Fine, sometimes admitting you're stupid isn't that hard, is it?

The Rescue Team Captain looked at this one, then looked at that one.

At a time like this, is it appropriate for you two to be chatting?

Zhang Qian was consciously trying to help An Yinan relax.

And An Yinan was consciously cooperating with Zhang Qian's good intentions.

They were comrades-in-arms fighting side by side; although their prey was only the small animals in the Back Mountain of Quanshui Village, this did not affect the coordination between the two.

"I have already checked the pulse, so of course I know it's a boy." An Yinan sighed; the anxiety in her heart might not be understood by others, but Zhang Qian understood.

The Rescue Team Captain looked at both sides, "You two... are very close?"

Although they were both from the Northeast Military Region, it seemed that soldiers and military doctors from the Military District didn't interact that often, right?

Every time they interacted, it was either death or injury!

It seemed a bit unlucky?

Zhang Qian looked at the Rescue Team Captain, then introduced her, "An Yinan, Chen Xun's wife!"

The Rescue Team Captain looked at An Yinan; although he had been joking just a moment ago, his expression was now exceptionally grave. She really was a person whose thoughts were hard to fathom.

She, actually, was the wife of that kid Chen Xun?

They had heard that Chen Xun was married, but they hadn't expected that the person who could tame him would be such a seemingly delicate young girl.

But thinking of what she had done over the past few days, it seemed to make sense after all.

Careful, bold, good stamina, strong logical thinking, and good observation skills.

In every respect, this was an exceptionally outstanding person.

"Commander, we can move a bit over here." A comrade-in-arms reported hurriedly.

Zhang Qian walked over quickly, and the moment he turned around, his entire face was exceptionally serious.

The smiling face from just a moment ago seemed to have been only a fleeting glimpse.

Between comrades-in-arms, there is no need for explanations of tacit understanding, just like An Yinan's cold face, yet with a teasing tone.

After the three of them walked over, Zhang Qian looked at the opening that had been made, but the main trunk of the Ancient Pine could not be moved, otherwise, all the snow pressing down on it would fall, and it would be difficult to handle then.

"Continue clearing this side, we need to widen the opening; don't move the main trunk, but you can slowly clear the smaller branches, and be careful not to let the snow above cause an avalanche," Zhang Qian ordered.

Everyone started moving again, and for a moment, everyone fell into silence.

Many of these soldiers were not from the Northeast Camp, but after arriving at the Command Camp, their order was disrupted, and they were inserted into various rescue teams.

All military units arranged for personnel to be sent out immediately upon receiving orders from headquarters.

Helicopters couldn't reach the disaster area, but these soldiers had waded through the snow step by step to get here.

Some of their units were very far away; those people had arrived in this extreme Northeast land, some even still wearing thin military uniforms, and they had rushed directly to the disaster relief site before they could even change into thick military overcoats.

Time is life.

Only in times of disaster can one feel their indomitable spirit.

When one side is in trouble, all sides provide support.

"Hello, hello, Snow Ghost, Snow Ghost." Zhang Qian kept whispering into the communication device.

Although the distance was very close, sound waves also needed to be controlled; one person's sound waves might not be much, but sometimes an avalanche might just be triggered by that little bit of sound wave.

More and more tree branches were being processed, and more and more snow was being cleared.

And what was the situation inside? No one knew.

Until nightfall was about to descend...

"Hello, hello, Snow Ghost, Snow Ghost." Zhang Qian contacted again.

A faint sound came from inside, "Snow Ghost received."

The people outside widened their eyes; first in disbelief, then everyone became excited, and light suddenly burst forth from their eyes.

An Yinan was willing to call this light hope.

And she understood even more what life was.

Moved by life, and rejoicing because that person was alive.

At night, everyone fell silent, but with a goal in mind, the two rescue battalions divided the work; each rescue team rested for one hour, and then another rescue team took over.

One hour was already the limit.

The cold gave everyone a lifeline.

The sky was as black as ink, the cold wind was blowing, snow mist was spreading, and the snow was piling up white.

Finally, an opening was made in the Ancient Pine; the intertwined branches and pine needles were cleared away bit by bit, leaving a path through which a person could pass.

"Snow Ghost!" Zhang Qian said.

Chen Xun clutched his arm with one hand and clasped Zhang Qian's hand with the other; this was a ritual between the brothers.

"How did you get here?" Chen Xun asked.

Zhang Qian, who should have been at the command post, had come to the front line of the rescue.

Chen Xun and Zhang Qian walked to one side, while the villagers emerged one after another behind them.

"We are saved. On behalf of the three villages, I thank our Huaguo military, and I thank our country." The speaker was an old man with white hair; he looked very old, and after he spoke, no one from the three villages objected, but every person's face showed an expression of excitement.

"Fellow villagers, this is what we should do. Now we must leave here quickly; an avalanche is very likely to come again," Zhang Qian said.

After all, the geographical location here was too unique; it was a low-lying area surrounded by mountains on all sides, and although the area was not small, the speed of an avalanche was not something human power could escape.

After the people left the cave behind the Ancient Pine one by one, the military surrounded the villagers, with troops guarding both the front and the rear; in the event of any emergency, they had to prioritize the safety of the people.

The group had walked less than ten meters when, at that moment...

"Wah... wah..." A baby's crying rang out, the sound sharp and piercing!

The originally silent environment and low-voiced chatter were instantly broken; the sound was so pitiful, so helpless.

An Yinan had been walking at the back; she had been hiding behind people the whole time, and because she was short, she had been standing behind the tall crowd, so Chen Xun had not noticed her.

Furthermore, he could not imagine why his wife, who should have been at home, would appear here.

An Yinan frowned and, moving a step faster than the others, ran back.

Chen Xun spotted her, but it was only for a split second of astonishment, and he missed the chance to intercept her.

An Yinan ran back into the cave.

Because that child's crying was coming from inside the cave...
