1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 257 The Thrill in the Depths of the Heart

Crack!

Crack!

A fire was burning brightly in the cave filled with the smell of blood, providing a constant supply of heat and light to the cold and damp cave.

Perhaps because the wood was not dry enough, sparks exploded from the fire from time to time, making crisp sounds that echoed in the cave, making it seem exceptionally quiet.

However, this little noise did dispel the silence and coldness in the cave.

The flickering flames of the fire shone on the misty rock wall of the cave, leaving a slender shadow, and next to that shadow lay another shadow, motionless.

Suddenly, the slender shadow raised the knife, and the sharp tip of the knife, shining with silver light, fell down, sliding and cutting the body of the motionless person.

It was like a forensic doctor dissecting a corpse, bloody and cruel.

"Pfft!"

Warm blood flowed slowly along the cross-shaped knife wound. Jiang Ting frowned when she saw this and immediately tightened the cloth strips on both sides of her shoulders. Soon the blood flow slowed down.

Jiang Ting took a breath and poured scalding hot water from her canteen onto her bloody hands. Even though she felt waves of burning pain, her heart was as cold as a pond and she remained unmoved.

This is the only way to treat wounds. If there is no alcohol, hot water can only be used instead.

If Kaiyan got a bacterial infection because of her lack of caution, she would be doomed to die.

She stretched out her white and tender fingers and slowly pushed them into the wound where the cross was drawn.

Almost instantly, her sensitive fingers felt the muscles deep inside the wound twitching and tightening.

"He's in pain..."

Jiang Ting bit her already dry lips tightly, enduring the sourness in her nose and the pain in her heart, and she pressed and searched in Cheng Kaiyan's blurred flesh and blood until her fingertips touched the deformed bullet, loosened it from the muscle, and then picked it out with the dagger.

This was the fourth gunshot wound, but neither he nor she had gotten used to the pain.

"Ding! Snap~"

The blood-stained metal bullet fell to the ground with a slight sound.

"Huh...finally finished."

She stuffed a strip of baked clean cloth into the wound to stop the bleeding. After treating the wound, Jiang Ting finally collapsed on the ground powerlessly, trying to calm the emotions in her heart that were surging like a roller coaster.

An hour ago.

Jiang Ting found Cheng Kaiyan at the entrance of the cave. After making sure that he was still breathing, she immediately cleaned up the battlefield, looted all the useful items from the enemy, and then threw them off the cliff one by one.

Although our army is stationed here, it is still a primitive mountain forest with few people. Not to mention jackals, tigers and leopards, there are definitely mountain bears.

The smell of blood, corpses, gunpowder...

Right under the noses of these animals with keen sense of smell are living signposts.

If they are not dealt with, they will be found by these beasts within an hour, and they will use their sharp claws to tear them into pieces of flesh and blood and swallow them into their stomachs, becoming their delicious meal.

So Jiang Ting, who realized this, immediately cleaned up the entire battlefield and searched for various useful items on the enemy after confirming that Cheng Kaiyan was still breathing.

Guns, ammunition, bombs, dry food they carried with them, and even some of their clothes that had been torn off.

Although Jiang Ting was a weak woman, at this critical moment when her life was at stake, she still remained calm and thought, and made a complete plan to handle the situation.

After doing all this, Jiang Ting endured the pain in her legs and carried Cheng Kaiyan on her back to find a clean and safe cave.

After entering the cave, she spread several layers of clothes on the cold and harsh cave floor, and then laid Cheng Kaiyan down in a lying position.

She went to find some wood, started a fire with the matches she found, and put the military kettle into the fire to boil water in preparation for treating the wound.

Jiang Ting knew that if she wore wet clothes for a long time in a cold environment, her body temperature would become unbalanced, which could lead to a fever at the very least and hypothermia and death at the worst.

What's more, Cheng Kaiyan was seriously injured and needed to be treated, so he had to take off his clothes.

So while the water was boiling, she took off her wet clothes without caring about being shy, and then took off all the clothes that could be taken off Cheng Kaiyan's body. She cut off the parts that could not be taken off behind her back with a knife, and hung all the wet clothes over the fire to dry.

Well, both she and Cheng Kaiyan are naked now.

Fortunately, Cheng Kaiyan fell into a coma and could not appreciate this charming, graceful, and beautiful body.

The bright and blazing firelight fell on the two of them. Under the scorching temperature, Jiang Ting's cold and pretty face looked red, and it was unclear whether it was because of the heat or shyness.

Despite feeling extremely complicated and guilty, Jiang Ting did not stop. She carefully avoided the injured parts and used a wet cloth to wipe off the dirt and bloodstains on Cheng Kaiyan's body bit by bit.

As for Cheng Kaiyan's back, she didn't dare to touch it, nor did she have the heart to move his back.

Because it was already a horrible sight, the back was sunken, bloody and charred, and the bones were almost visible. The tattered strips of cloth were tightly stuck to the skin and muscles. Fortunately, the bleeding on the back had stopped by the charred skin and flesh.

Jiang Ting knew in her heart that it was because of the explosion that Cheng Kaiyan was hit by two grenades at close range.

……

"Why are you so stupid as to go and lead them away alone?"

"How can someone like me... be worthy of you? Why are you so stupid..."

Jiang Ting stared blankly at Cheng Kaiyan, who was lying on the ground in coma. The face that usually always showed her a gentle smile was pale due to scars and excessive blood loss.

Whenever he thought about how he had been fleeing in panic while being chased by five vicious enemy soldiers late last night, he was almost in despair and almost wanted to commit suicide.

The person she was looking forward to meeting was just like when she was young, Jiang Ting was lying in her mother's arms listening to the hero in the mythological story riding on a colorful cloud, appearing in front of her like a descendant from the sky, and saving her.

Even for his own sake, Cheng Kaiyan led five enemies away alone.

Carrying me on my back while running in the mountains and forests, that gentle caress before falling asleep...

Just thinking about the blurry fragments of last night, Jiang Ting's cold heart felt a heart-wrenching pain that could not be calmed for a long time.

Under the stinging pain like a tide, the thick layer of ice in the heart lake was washed out with cracks.

She even felt her heart burning and her soul trembling.

Why would anyone want to get close to a cold-blooded woman like me? Why would anyone be willing to pay the price of their life for me? Do I deserve it?

Jiang Ting questioned herself coldly in her heart.

After looking at Cheng Kaiyan for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ting finally calmed down and began to reflect and record her emotional changes.

"It's so strange, why do I have such emotions, why?"

"Is it the suspension bridge effect? ​​Or is it the old-fashioned hero saving the beauty? Or maybe I'm just smiling..."

The woman's cold voice echoed in the cave, and then it immediately fell into dead silence.

She didn't want to delve into it, nor did she dare to.

It was as if her heart was a locked Pandora's box. Once she woke up, the flood and sin would destroy them all.

……

Jiang Ting took off the glasses that had cracked during her long escape and rubbed her nose which had two red marks left on it.

She blew a puff of mist at the lens, picked up a strip of cloth that had been dried by the flames, gently wiped off the blood, and put it aside.

Then he pulled over the thin raincoat, put it on, and lay quietly beside Cheng Kaiyan.

She has been too tired these two days.

The flames danced in the cave, and the half-dry, half-wet wood in the fire made an explosion sound from time to time.

It's so quiet in the cave.

It was so quiet that Jiang Ting lost consciousness almost as soon as she closed her eyes and fell into a deep dream.

She had a dream. In the dream, she went back to when she was six years old, when her family was not yet in decline, her parents had not yet been murdered by villains, and the dozen or so people in her family had not yet been buried in the sea of ​​fire.

In the dream, it was a summer night, the stars were shining brightly and the temperature was unbearably hot.

Jiang Ting stood under the canopy of the big tree in the yard.

Across the street, a family of four sat under a big tree at the doorstep, enjoying the cool breeze, with a cattail leaf fan next to their ears.

When I was young, I was wearing a child’s T-shirt and lying in my mother’s arms, rubbing my face against her soft belly affectionately.

Her mother's warm hands gently stroked her head as she sang a long and beautiful song in the soft Wu dialect.

While singing, the mother whispered to herself.

She asked: "What kind of boy does our A Ting like in the future?"

My younger self excitedly shouted, "I love heroes! When I grow up I want to marry a hero!"

Jiang Ting under the tree was eager to hear clearly, but the more she wanted to hear, the farther away the songs and voices in her memory became, and the more unclear they became.

I don't know how much time passed, but she was almost crying out of anxiety.

The mother who was holding her young daughter seemed to have heard her cry. She suddenly raised her head and looked towards the tree in surprise.

The blurry picture suddenly zoomed in.

The sound also became clearer.

Her mother opened her eyes wide in surprise, smiled at her, and asked softly, "A Ting, are you okay? Have you found your hero?"

"Mother!"

"I...I'm fine, I missed you so much...I think I found you!"

Jiang Ting stood under the tree and cried, choking with sobs.

She wanted desperately to throw herself into her mother's arms.

But the distance between us grew longer and longer, and my mother's appearance became more and more blurred.

Until the whole dream suddenly snapped and shattered.

When the dream was broken, Jiang Ting vaguely heard her mother's relieved smile, and it seemed to be accompanied by a sigh:
"That's good. Mother is always watching you..."

……

"What are you doing looking at me?"

Inside the dark cave.

As soon as Jiang Ting opened her eyes, she saw Cheng Kaiyan's eyes full of fatigue and pain. She said expressionlessly and indifferently.

"No...nothing."

Cheng Kaiyan shook his eyes weakly, because he didn't even have the strength to shake his head.

Because he had only been conscious for less than ten minutes, when he saw his aunt lying beside him with her perfect naked body, his heart was shaken.

When he saw his aunt's face full of sadness and tears, he was so worried that something had happened to her that he no longer had any romantic thoughts. He bit the tip of his tongue, endured the feeling of dizziness and the severe pain all over his body, and held on until she woke up.

"Move, move, I'm fine, I heard a sound..."

Before he could finish his words, Cheng Kaiyan's eyes went dark and he fainted again.

He was badly injured, and even if he woke up by chance, it was because his whole body was in so much pain.

Jiang Ting pursed her blood-dried lips, reached out to touch Cheng Kaiyan's cheek, then quietly moved closer and pressed her lips against his face.

"Haha...don't worry."

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ting put dry clothes on herself and Cheng Kaiyan, packed their things, and prepared to go down the mountain.

After resting, Jiang Ting's injuries were no longer as painful. Although her injured legs and feet were swollen, they seemed to have become much number.

Jiang Ting held her rifle and walked down the mountain step by step.

It was not until sunset that the two finally reached the dirt slope they had walked on last night.

At the far end, a team of soldiers in army green uniforms were searching around.

"Look! Over there! There are two people there, are they Comrade Cheng Kaiyan and Comrade Jiang Ting?!"

"Go and have a look, they should be them!"

"Found it! Nurse, nurse, come here quickly! There's a seriously injured person!"

Jiang Ting, whose heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley, heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the familiar Mandarin mixed with dialect.

……

On the mountain road, one group of people carried two stretchers down the mountain, while another group of people went to search the mountain and guard.

Both of them received simple wound treatment by medical staff.

Jiang Ting could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After asking the usual questions, the female officer in charge finally learned the whole story. She wrote it down in her notebook and said with emotion:

"Comrade Jiang, you are truly amazing. You are willing to travel alone just to see your lover who is surrounded at the front line.

And your lover is also a real man! For you, he ran more than ten miles of mountain roads and rescued you at the critical moment. I really admire and envy your relationship, but I still hope you won’t be so impulsive next time. "

"Sorry to bother you."

Jiang Ting nodded when she heard this and said with a hint of apology.

"It doesn't matter. Comrade Cheng Kaiyan is our hero, and we should save him."

The female secretary smiled and shook her head, thinking that these two people had very powerful backgrounds and the telegrams for help had been sent to the front line.

However, after hearing their stories, she was not disgusted, but rather admired them.

Then, the female officer said solemnly, "However, Comrade Cheng Kaiyan was injured by a grenade at close range. His injury is too serious. He is not out of danger for the time being. We will rescue him and take you to the provincial hospital in a special car."

"how come……"

Jiang Ting said in disbelief, Cheng Kaiyan had clearly just talked to her, how come she is still in danger?

Is it a last gasp?
The beautiful woman's face suddenly turned pale.

"This is indeed the case now. We have to speed up."

The female officer sighed.

In fact, what she didn't tell Jiang Ting was that it was impossible for an ordinary person to survive the explosion of two grenades at close range.

But Comrade Cheng Kaiyan seemed to have a very strong will to survive and physical fitness, which always supported him.

But it took too long...

Whether or not you can survive in the end is still a difficult question.

"I hope God bless this couple..."

The female officer clasped her hands together and prayed in her heart.
