When the house under Gu Juexi’s feet collapsed, he instantly reached out to grip the branch of a big tree. Securing the body of the old man with one hand and using his legs to push off from the tree bark in front of him, he managed to jump over it. After that, he continued to move forward.
“The wife is angry. Earn a merit, suffer a wound—perhaps then she will feel bad for me,” Gu Juexi said half-jokingly.
“Young man, why did you leave the army? Your agility is specially trained, correct?” The old man was still calm, not the slightest bit intimidated by this flood.
“You are wise,” Gu Juexi said, stepping onto a higher rooftop. Many parts of the house had already collapsed, so walking along it and jumping over did not seem that feasible.
“Feeling bitter?” The old man suddenly asked.
Gu Juexi paused for a moment, and his eyes clouded over.
“Everyone has their own fate,” Gu Juexi murmured. “Old man, you may have to bear with me for a while, the road ahead is not easy to tread on.”
“Young man, in this life, what haven’t I experienced? I am not afraid. Furthermore, this old bag of bones still needs to put in a good word for you when we get out,” the old man said as he laughed heartily.
Gu Juexi also smiled. “That sounds good. Thank you in advance,” Gu Juexi replied as he held on to a sloping tree. With half of his body immersed in water, he continued moving forward, going against the current.
When Ye Yuwei had rushed over to the place outside the rescue point, many of the rescued villagers had already descended the hill, leaving only a few men from the rescue team.
“Hey, how come people keep approaching this place today? Miss, it is very dangerous here. Hurry up and—”
The major hadn’t even finished speaking yet, but Ye Yuwei had already taken off the hood of her raincoat. “Have you seen Gu Juexi?”
The major suddenly became speechless.
So these two were husband and wife?
Why was this one more audacious than the previous one?
Seeing that the major did not speak, Ye Yuwei kept looking at the flood.
“Sister-in-law, the water level will rise again shortly. We will stay here to wait for the rescue team. It is better for you to go down the mountain. Xiao Liu, send sister-in-law down the mountain,” the major said hastily.
It seemed that Ye Yuwei did not hear the major’s words, she was still staring out at the surging water. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and soon the figure of Gu Juexi appeared, carrying an old man on his back.
The distance was still a little far from the rescue point.
Gu Juexi spotted Ye Yuwei from a distance, and his good-natured expression instantly changed into a fearsome one.
“Ye Yuwei, what the heck are you doing? Who told you to come here?” Gu Juexi shouted from where he stood. Even from a distance of more than ten meters away, the rage emanating from his body could still be felt.
When his voice reached Ye Yuwei’s ears, it wasn’t as loud, plus she had never been afraid of Gu Juexi anyway.
“Your wife?” The old man laughed, but it had less vigor compared to earlier. On the contrary, the old man seemed rather breathless.
Gu Juexi muttered a reply, still furious at Ye Yuwei. ‘Did that woman have a death wish?’
“To accompany you, of course. Aren’t you happily courting death? If I didn’t come over, would I be able to face your mother?” Ye Yuwei sneered, not paying any attention to Gu Juexi whose expression had become very dark–she could not it see anyway.
“Haven’t you always wanted me dead, what are you saying now?” Gu Juexi’s voice was sarcastic as he let out a bitter laugh.
The group of army officers stood there awkwardly.
‘Big Brother and Sister-in-law, this is a life-or-death situation, it’s really not the time to be flirting with each other.’
