Chapter 30 Heaven is jealous of talents
Xu Rufeng and the others, as well as the people below the mountain, were all stunned. Lu Beiting dropped the binoculars from his hand and they hit his leg. He stared blankly in the direction of the startled bird.

Where is it on the edge?

"Damn it!" Zhang Yi cursed under his breath and ran forward quickly.

Zhang San, on the other side, also rushed over.

After seeing the situation clearly, Yao Dashan smiled smugly, "Ha, Liu Wen, you really are asking for trouble. You won't listen to reason, so you'll get shot instead."

Yao Dashan turned to call Liu Wen, only to find him lying unconscious on the ground. He quickly went over to check on him and breathed a sigh of relief after examining his eyelids.

Thankfully, the person is still alive.

He looked at the woman on the ground and started walking towards her, thinking that while she was still warm, she would still be valuable if he dragged her back.

Yao Dashan slung his gun over his shoulder, preparing to check on Xia Zhi's condition. But as soon as he bent down, the woman, who had been lifeless just moments before, suddenly opened her eyes.

Startled, Yao Dashan instinctively took a step back, and Xia Zhi grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at him.

"what!"

Yao Dashan winced in pain, closed his eyes, and then reached for the gun behind him.

Xia Zhi bit her lower lip, picked up a stone, and slammed it at the man. Then she quickly pulled out the gun from behind him, cocked it, and aimed it at his head.

His voice was heavy and labored, yet it reached Yao Dashan's ears clearly.

"Move again, and I'll kill you!"

Yao Dashan, who wasn't deaf, heard the sound of a bullet being chambered. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his voice trembled, "Okay, I won't move. You move it further away."

Yao Dashan was already plotting something when the cold muzzle of a gun was pointed directly at his head.

The blood from Xia Zhi's hands dripped down onto his head, and the icy chill instantly went to his heart.

Yao Dashan then realized that his shot had not hit Xia Zhi's vital points, and he was immediately filled with regret.

"There is something easy to say, there is something easy to say."

Yao Dashan was truly frightened now. He never expected that such an unremarkable woman would have such good skills and stamina.

Xia Zhi's vision was a little blurry, but she didn't dare to relax at all. Holding the anesthetic in her other hand, she was about to start administering it when Xu Rufeng and the others arrived.

"sister in law!"

Zhang Yi rushed over, and Xu Rufeng and the others quickly pinned Yao Dashan to the ground.

Xia Zhi finally exhaled the breath she had been holding in, and then everything went black as she fainted.

"Zhang Yi, take Xia Zhi back first, leave this to us." Xu Rufeng looked at the bloodless Xia Zhi and couldn't help but feel worried.

Zhang Yi tore off a strip of cloth and roughly bandaged Xia Zhi's hand injury, then carried her on his back and headed down the mountain.

Inside the courtyard, those who were hiding and watching the situation were looking at Xia Zhi, who was being carried on Zhang Yi's back.

"Xia Zhi has lost so much blood, could she be dead? We all heard the gunshot just now."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiao immediately laughed, "It's good that he's dead. Anyway, he was just a money-losing burden and a short-lived ghost."

Upon hearing the news, Hao Liping ran out of the house, "Auntie, what happened to Xia Zhi?"

His tone, however, revealed a hint of schadenfreude.

"Hmph, what else can happen? He just had to be so reckless as to run up the mountain. He deserves to die."

Upon hearing the satisfactory news, Hao Liping's smile widened. She then ran back into the house and closed the door. "Mom and Dad, that gunshot from the mountain just now hit Xia Zhi. That bitch is definitely not going to make it."

Hao Dazhuang and Chen Xiuping exchanged a glance. Once shot, even the most resilient person wouldn't survive.

"Hahahaha." Hao Liping laughed out loud with joy. If Xia Zhi were dead, then she would have no obstacle in her way, and she wouldn't have to worry about Xia Zhi stealing her man in the future. Zhang Yi, covered in sweat, hurriedly called for people as soon as he entered the military base.

"Someone come here, bring a stretcher!"

Upon seeing that it was Xia Zhi, the others quickly went to lift the tools and soon took Xia Zhi to the hospital.

Shen Hangzhi was also taken aback when he heard that the patient was Xia Zhi, and then led his people toward the operating room.

When Lu Beiting heard the words "carry a stretcher," his heart skipped a beat. He then hurriedly rushed outside, thinking that this was the fastest he had ever gone before.

They had only gone halfway when they encountered Zhang Yi, who was covered in blood and was about to go back to clean himself.

When Zhang Yi saw Lu Beiting, he stiffened and his eyes darted around. He stammered for a while before finally saying, "Battalion Commander, don't worry, your wife is fine. She wasn't seriously injured."

With a loud crash, Lu Beiting's mental preparations throughout the journey collapsed.

"Where is she injured?" Lu Beiting asked, the veins on the back of his hand bulging as he tried his best to control his emotions.

"Oh, your hand, but no bones are broken." Zhang Yi said, then lowered his head. This wouldn't be a big deal for rough guys like them.

My sister-in-law is a girl, so she must be very doted on.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll go take a look myself."

Lu Beiting, with a cold face and radiating a low-pressure aura, headed towards the military hospital.

Looking at this path the two of them had walked together last time, when she was making a fuss and laughing.

He thought no one knew better than him what it felt like to be hit by a bullet.

When Lu Beiting arrived, he saw a group of people guarding the door: Chen Yang, Chen Yan, and Li Jianguo.

Upon seeing him, Li Jianguo managed a smile through his worried face. "Beiting, don't worry, everything will be alright."

Lu Beiting nodded silently and stood guard to the side, only his pale face revealing his inner turmoil.

Chen Yan wiped away her tears, "This child, she said she would bring me a gift when she left, how could she..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Lu Beiting felt extremely distressed. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have gone up the mountain to gather herbs, and if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have gotten injured.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. It's just a hand injury, it's nothing."

Chen Yang patted Chen Yan's back reassuringly, but Chen Yan slapped his hand away, saying, "It's just a hand injury. Xia is a doctor too, how can it be the same?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang sighed silently and said nothing more. If the injury was serious, he was afraid...

Li Jianguo stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "I heard you and Xia had a fight? What happened? Did you dislike her?"

"No!" Lu Beiting interrupted without even thinking.

Then his tone became lower, "I just feel that she shouldn't be a burden to me, since there's nothing I can do to help her."

He could only watch helplessly as the two incidents happened, which made him feel even more like a complete and utter waste.

Li Jianguo sighed helplessly. He was the most outstanding soldier he had ever led, quick-witted, adaptable, and brave.

He watched himself rise step by step to where he is today; his future was limitless, but unfortunately, fate was cruel to the talented…

“But Xia said it could be cured, didn’t she? You’re jumping to conclusions too early.” Li Jianguo genuinely believed in the two children.

Lu Beiting pursed his thin lips, his voice trembling, "But if it can't be cured, then it will harm her."
