Life in siheyuan era

Shen Lanyin lay on Zhou Zhiyuan's back, her thoughts unfolding. The course of their relationship was like a movie reel, scenes slowly passing through her mind, a happy smile on her face.

Then, she let go of all her thoughts, pressed her face against his neck, smelled his fresh scent, and felt an unparalleled warmth, her mind soaring to the highest heavens.

At this moment, she was completely immersed in this warmth, unaware that Zhou Zhiyuan had almost slipped and fallen.

As his body slid downwards, his right hand naturally reached out. These four lazy fingers grabbed onto a crack in the rock above, allowing his two feet to find purchase on two protruding points, stabilizing his body.

At this moment, he couldn't relax. He took a few gentle breaths and reached out his left hand again, grabbing the rock crevice and climbing upwards.

When he reached out his right hand again, the laziness of his four fingers erupted once more, refusing to bend and grip the rock crevice. Instead, a suction force came from his palm, allowing his hand to stick firmly to the rock wall.

They were too lazy. This behavior made the four fingers of his left hand unable to bear it, and he suddenly realized that the four fingers of his left hand had declared a strike, refusing to bend and grip the rock crevice.

But this left hand was very conscientious, perhaps worried that the main body would fall and it would be finished along with it. A suction force also emanated from its palm, allowing it to stick to the rock wall.

The two suction forces allowed him to quickly climb upwards. With the faint light of the luminous pearl, he climbed to the top of the cliff in one breath, then slowly lay on the ground, panting heavily.

He had held his breath for more than half an hour. At this moment, he desperately needed to restore his lung function. After a few quick breaths, he felt a little better, and heard Shen Lanyin say softly, "Put me down, you rest for a while."

Huff... Zhou Zhiyuan exhaled a long breath and replied in a low voice, "We can't rest. We must leave here as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he propped himself up and slowly stood up, walking forward with difficulty, following the guidance of the orange thread.

He couldn't stop. If he stopped now, he wouldn't be able to move anymore.

He walked unsteadily along the way, and Shen Lanyin on his back said softly, "Rest for a while, eat a nutrient pill and then go."

Zhou Zhiyuan replied softly, "We're almost out. We can't rest now. If something changes here, we won't be able to get out."

"I can walk myself." Shen Lanyin didn't want to get off his back, but she had to.

But Zhou Zhiyuan replied, "No accidents can happen at this time. Carrying you can minimize the occurrence of accidents."

Hearing him say the reason, Shen Lanyin stopped talking and raised her right hand to gently touch his forehead.

Feeling the concern from this hand, Zhou Zhiyuan continued to walk forward silently. Turning a corner, he suddenly saw a starlight shining down. Shen Lanyin exclaimed excitedly, "We're out!"

But Zhou Zhiyuan replied, "Not yet." As his voice fell, the starlight disappeared.

Shen Lanyin turned her head to look. It was still dark all around, so she continued to press against his neck in silence, while Zhou Zhiyuan quickened his pace.

This starlight gave him strength again. After walking quickly for an hour, he stopped and looked up at the bright starry sky. Looking around at the shadows of the tall trees, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his body swayed violently.

Then, Shen Lanyin's urgent voice came from his back, "Put me down quickly."

Zhou Zhiyuan slowly squatted down and put down Shen Lanyin, hearing her let out a surprised sound. He slowly turned around and said softly, "Let's celebrate later."

He had a few things to arrange, but Shen Lanyin almost knocked him down. He quickly steadied himself, hugged her waist with his right hand, and gently stroked her hair with his left hand, saying lightly, "We might meet a lot of people later. Give me my coat first. It wouldn't be good for people to see."

These words reminded Shen Lanyin. She quickly let go and took a step back, looked at his naked upper body, her cheeks flushed, lowered her head, took off her coat and handed it to him. As she was about to take off her fleece jacket, she heard Zhou Zhiyuan say lightly, "Keep the fleece jacket on for now. It's proof that I care about you."

Zhou Zhiyuan was becoming more and more eloquent. Hearing this, Shen Lanyin smiled softly and heard him continue, "Put away the luminous pearl, and put these two porcelain bottles away carefully. Don't get them mixed up. The luminous pearl and two nutrient pills are for the organization. Don't give this bottle of repair fluid to Lanbo alone. Give it to my parents to decide when you get home."

This arrangement made Shen Lanyin look up and ask suspiciously, "Wouldn't it be better if you kept them?"

"No..." Zhou Zhiyuan replied seriously, "I'm a great hero. They will definitely play the 'toss the person' game with me. It wouldn't be good if they fell out. It must be kept secret."

He called himself a "great hero". Shen Lanyin smiled and replied, "Understood, my great hero."

This tone made Zhou Zhiyuan pause slightly. Seeing that she had put away the two porcelain bottles, he continued, "The flashlight still has some power. Turn on the flashlight and wave it up and down in that direction."

Following the direction he pointed, Shen Lanyin raised the flashlight and waved it up and down, then heard Zhou Zhiyuan roar, "We're here!"

This loud voice quickly spread out in the night sky, followed by a thud.

Hearing this sound, Shen Lanyin quickly turned her head to look, dropped the flashlight, rushed over, hugged his upper body tightly in her arms, and shouted, "You lied to me again."

As he passed out, Shen Lanyin suddenly felt a strong sense of helplessness. The footsteps coming from afar didn't bring her any sense of security. She just wanted Zhou Zhiyuan to wake up quickly.

Shen Lanyin didn't see several figures rushing over, but when Zhang Limin saw this scene, he immediately shouted for a stretcher.

As two stretchers were brought over, Shen Jue and Shen Lanbo ran over, each grabbing one of Shen Lanyin's arms to make her let go.

Seeing her father and brother coming to her side, Shen Lanyin slowly let go, allowing several soldiers to carry Zhou Zhiyuan onto the stretcher, while she silently sat aside watching Xie Yun take his pulse.

A minute later, Xie Yun said gently, "Zhiyuan is just exhausted. Don't worry."

Then, he looked at Zhang Daoren and asked in a low voice, "Daoren, what do you think?"

Zhang Daoren gave the treatment plan, Xie Yun nodded, and Zhang Limin roared, "Report to the chief immediately, and request that troops be dispatched immediately to seal off this area, and take them to the military hospital as soon as possible."

With an order, this hillside began to bustle.

On that hillside, Section Chief Luo, after putting down the temporary military phone, thought for a moment, then immediately picked up the phone and dialed the switchboard, saying solemnly, "Please connect me to the ZL office."

Section Chief Luo thought more deeply, but Shen Jue didn't think about anything at this time. Seeing Shen Lanyin, his heart finally settled down. He gently stroked Shen Lanyin's hair and looked at Zhou Zhiyuan beside her.

Zhou Zhiyuan lay on the stretcher, covered with a military blanket, and his square face under the starlight looked very peaceful.

Looking at this square face, Shen Jue's heart was full of gratitude. Shen Lanyin had just given a brief account, knowing how Zhou Zhiyuan had taken care of Shen Lanyin.

"My choice was right."

Shen Jue affirmed his actions, withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Lanbo, and said in a low voice, "No matter how many things you two have, you must create opportunities for them to be together."

Shen Jue completely affirmed Zhou Zhiyuan, and Shen Lanbo looked at Shen Lanyin, turned his head and said, "Don't worry, I will seize every opportunity to arrange time, they will have no problems in the future."

Shen Lanbo's words were based on evidence. Shen Lanyin's mind was completely on Zhou Zhiyuan, and she was staring at his face at this time.

Shen Jue also saw this evidence, smiled softly, raised the porcelain bottle in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said in a low voice, "Zhiyuan, in order to promote the construction of the army, would rather endure hunger and save these two nutrient pills for our research. Although it needs to be kept secret, this spirit must be commended."

Shen Jue decided not to be biased towards his own family, and Shen Lanbo fully supported it. Although he understood in his heart that Zhou Zhiyuan didn't think so far ahead. Under that circumstance, the purpose of enduring hunger was just to keep two rations for Shen Lanyin.

But this must not be said, it's enough for the father and son to understand in their hearts.

So Shen Lanbo nodded lightly, and saw Section Chief Luo walking over, squatting beside Zhou Zhiyuan's stretcher, looking at him carefully, and saying softly to Shen Lanyin, "Let him rest well."

Then he walked to Shen Jue's side and squatted down, looked at the porcelain bottle and asked in a low voice, "What is this?"

Shen Jue handed the porcelain bottle to him and replied in a low voice, "Zhiyuan endured hunger and brought it out from there. It's called a nutrient pill. Eating one pill can guarantee the nutritional needs of one day. Lao Luo, what do you think it means?"

Hearing this, Section Chief Luo's breathing immediately became rapid. He grabbed the porcelain bottle and held it in front of his eyes, examining it carefully, and muttered excitedly, "The logistics problem is solved."

No wonder he was excited. The logistics problem has always plagued the army's counterattack capabilities. With the nutrient pills, the difficult problem will be solved.

But Shen Jue poured cold water on him, "Not so fast, professional researchers are needed to conduct in-depth research."

"It's good to have a goal." Section Chief Luo replied, and put the porcelain bottle into his pocket.

Then he took it out and stuffed it into the pocket of his inner shirt, buttoned it up, looked at Zhou Zhiyuan, and said in a low voice, "Zhiyuan has made a great contribution."

Section Chief Luo's attitude made Shen Jue and Shen Lanbo nod lightly. This matter was settled.

At this time, they heard Zhang Limin's shout, "Reinforcements are here, let's set off immediately."

For Zhang Limin, sending his chief beloved general to the hospital was the most important thing at the moment, and other things could be put aside.
