Chapter 22 Divine Assist

"Who's there?!"

Lin Zhi was startled by a questioning voice, but there was no one around. Just when she was feeling strange, she heard an ouch in the distance.

Looks like red hair.

Lin Zhi ran towards the sound, and could vaguely see Hong Mao falling on a piece of gravel, holding his legs with a pale face. If there wasn't a branch blocking him, he might have rolled down.

There was a slope in front of her and there was no way to get over it. Lin Zhi could only lean out and ask, "Are you okay?"

The red-haired man twisted his face as if asking, "Do I look like I'm okay?"

"Who are you?"

A tall figure appeared on the hillside, and then noticed the backpacks on their bodies, "Are you willing to risk your life for a few bullet casings?"

Children nearby often come to pick up bullet casings after their training, but I didn't expect to meet two adults today.

With the help of several young soldiers, Hong Mao was rescued, and Lin Zhi was also called over. Seeing that Hong Mao could not stand firmly, she knew that his leg must be injured.

Lin Zhi pinched his calf gently, and Hong Mao cried out in pain, "Sister-in-law, it hurts!"

The man who was standing on the hillside just now came over. He looked like he was in his early twenties, with a majestic figure and his hands behind his back. "Are you still looking blindly in the future?"

"Sir, we are from Shitou Village. We came to the mountain to collect things today. We climbed up to take a look when we heard the sound of gunshots." Now that he was caught, Lin Zhi could only defend Hong Mao a few words, "He has always been very good.

I admire soldiers, and I don’t mean to disturb your training.”

Lin Zhi's backpack was indeed full, it didn't look like she was lying.

The man sighed helplessly, "My name is Hou Zhi, and I am the monitor of Class 3. Since the man fell down because of me, I will send you down and find a doctor to take a good look at him."

Lin Zhi had this intention, otherwise she would not be able to bring Hong Mao with her alone. "Thank you, Squad Leader Hou. His leg should be broken. Can you help me find some wood? I'll help him."

Bandage it."

Soon Hou Zhi asked people to get the wooden blocks Lin Zhi asked for, and Lin Zhi borrowed a rope from them to help Hong Mao fix the injured area.

Hou Zhi saw that Lin Zhi was young and good-looking, so he didn't expect that he would help with the bandaging, and the technique was very neat, so he felt even more admiration in his eyes.

When carrying Hong Mao down the mountain, Hou Zhicai found out that Lin Zhi was Nie Shujun's wife. He admired her even more, "I know about Captain Nie. How is he now? Is he awake?"

Lin Zhi smiled a little reluctantly, "He may want to rest again."

This answer can be said to be full of bitterness, and Hou Zhi suddenly felt a sense of compassion, "If my sister-in-law is in need at home, just ask us, and I can help my sister-in-law raise some donations in the team."

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Hong Mao, who was lying on his shoulder, suddenly spoke, "Brother Nie's house cannot be said to be lacking anything. You have to ask her what she is not lacking, or else she is a girl.

Can you go up the mountain to pick mushrooms by yourself?”

"What do you mean?"

With Hou Zhi's permission, Hongmao shouted even more lovingly, "Brother Hou, you don't know how miserable the eldest brother of the Nie family is now. He is lying on the bed, unable to speak or work. The whole family relies on Lin Zhi, a girl."

, Brother Nie’s second uncle and second aunt still don’t give him food to eat, how can he survive without going out to pick mushrooms!”

Lin Zhi didn't know if Hou Zhi was a talkative person at this time, and was still hesitating whether to give up or not. Unexpectedly, Hong Mao came directly to assist. No wonder Nie Chong said he was smart.

Sensing Hou Zhi's gaze, Lin Zhi's eyes darkened, "It made squad leader Hou laugh."

"Captain Nie should have received a pension, but my sister-in-law didn't get it?"

"I've never heard of this since I got married."

"You can respond to us in this situation. They can't bully military families like this!" Hou Zhi is obviously a man of temperament.

Lin Zhi lowered her eyes and blamed herself, "I am a girl and I don't understand anything. It was me who made Shujun suffer."

"Sister-in-law, I'm not blaming you." Hou Zhi became angrier as he listened, "It's true that good people are bullied. Don't worry, I will definitely help you solve this matter today!"

When the three of them were approaching Nie's house, they saw a lot of people gathered around the door. A woman's voice shouted, "Come on, everyone, let them eat all the white-flour steamed buns that my family finally made."

, if someone hadn’t seen it and told me, I would still be kept in the dark!”

The person confronting her was none other than Nie Chong. He was still carrying a schoolbag and said, "It's just a few steamed buns. I'll just compensate you."

"That's easy to say. What are you going to give me as compensation? If your family has food, is there any need to steal it?" But the woman was unwilling to give up.

Nie Chong's neck turned red, "I didn't steal it!"

"Why didn't you steal my steamed buns?" The woman pinched his ears, "You don't learn well at a young age. Come on, follow me to see your uncle. I'll break your legs!"

When she met Lin Zhi and his group, she stopped and said, "I thought you were hiding inside and making no sound. I came just in time to prevent others from thinking that I, Chen Yuxiang, am easy to bully!"

Lin Zhi stared at her hand and said, "Let go."

Seeing that Chen Yuxiang didn't move, Lin Zhi continued, "I got the steamed buns."

"Everyone heard it. She admitted to stealing my steamed buns!"

White-flour steamed buns are a staple these days, and some people don’t even see them at home. Chen Yuxiang opened Nie Chong’s ears and rushed up to point at Lin Zhi, "Tell me, what else did you take from my house? Why are you so shameless?"

"

Lin Zhi recognized her as the one who dragged Ma Qiulian away on the wedding day, and said calmly, "Auntie, why don't we go into the house and talk."

Chen Yuxiang thought she was scared, "You also know that you are shady, so I'm just going to tell everyone here to see who the Nie family married!"

"You are not allowed to talk about my sister-in-law!"

Nie Chong said that he was about to hit Chen Yuxiang with his head. When he rushed to her, Hou Zhi grabbed his arm and dragged him to the side.

Chen Yuxiang quit and sat down on the ground, "Hitting people! The Nie family is beating people! Not only did they steal my steamed buns, but they also beat people. Is there such a thing as this?"

"I got your steamed buns in exchange for something." Lin Zhi said, "If you don't believe me, you can go home and ask your daughter."

"Did you see it? Lies come when you open your mouth. I can see your things!" At this time, Chen Yuxiang saw Hou Zhi next to him, "Sir, you look like a sensible person at first sight. Tell me,

Do I need to take their stuff?"

Hou Zhi still believed in Lin Zhi, "Sister, why don't you go back and ask your daughter first."

"She admitted that she took something from my house, so what else is there to ask!"

"Mom!" Ma Qiulian ran to Chen Yuxiang anxiously, "What are you doing here?"
