Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Martyrdom in the Line of Duty
Jhiang Yuan had settled her parents and Xiao Nuan before she came out again.
She was restless, watching the situation outside.
The binoculars never left her hand, hoping to see more.
"Whoosh..."
Not good, the glass in the opposite building had shattered.
Jhiang Yuan saw something spinning rapidly.
So fast that she couldn’t make out what it was.
This definitely wasn’t a good sign. If it flew up, it would be too dangerous.
Just as she was thinking, several people suddenly burst into her line of sight.
"Sister Mianmian!"
That clothing was unmistakably Ye Mianmian’s.
Jhiang Yuan felt a surge of excitement. Someone was escorting her back, but it wasn’t Song Yi.
She hurriedly grabbed a hat, got dressed, and went out to meet them.
As soon as she opened the door, she couldn’t stand still, the wind actually blew her backwards.
She quickly grabbed the doorframe to steady herself. Damn, she couldn’t even make it out the door, how was she supposed to get to the entrance?
The key issue now was that she couldn’t close the door either.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, the howling wind gave her a headache.
She couldn’t even speak, unable to open her mouth.
"Sister Yuan..."
Zhang Kaiyang came out and, seeing the situation, rushed over to help.
But his situation wasn’t much better.
The house was square, and their location was right at a wind tunnel.
At the time they felt it was well ventilated from south to north, they didn’t expect such powerful winds!
They didn’t even have a moment’s respite, it was terrifying.
Zhang Kaiyang battled through the strong wind, which made it very difficult to reach her. Seeing Jhiang Yuan clinging to the doorframe, he hurried over to help.
At the end of the corridor, people finally appeared.
It was Ye Mianmian, being escorted back by two people.
She wanted to shout, but she couldn’t open her mouth.
With the wind this strong, even if she managed to yell, they might not hear her.
Besides, the wind would be pouring into her mouth, certainly making it unbearable.
Obviously, they saw their predicament from the other side.
Ye Mianmian ran straight towards them, and the two men didn’t say anything.
They were just responsible for escorting the person, not fussing about where to stay.
Perhaps they all lived together, it was possible.
With Ye Mianmian’s arrival and the two men pulling from the outside, they finally closed the door.
The three of them stood in the living room, panting as if they had fought a great battle.
Zhang Kaiyang was even more dramatic, bent over, resting one hand on his knee, and it took him a long while to recover.
"Kaiyang, if you can’t stand, be careful with that arm."
He quickly waved his hand, panting.
"It’s fine, I’ll just catch my breath... it’ll be okay."
Oh boy, it really felt like he had finished running an 800-meter race.
"Sister Mianmian, are you alright?"
Ye Mianmian, who had been scared out of her wits, suddenly hugged her.
Without speaking or crying, Jhiang Yuan could feel her shaking all over.
It took a long time before she calmed down.
"Sister Yuan, I was scared to death. I thought I’d never see you again."
Jhiang Yuan knew the situation couldn’t have been simple.
Coming back from the greenhouse, the journey was long, and definitely not close.
Their group must have faced great difficulty to make it home.
"Let’s go. My parents are sleeping with the child. Let’s talk in that room."
"Mm!"
The two of them didn’t hesitate or distrust, but instead lowered their voices.
Following her to the room where Jhiang Yuan stayed, they couldn’t bother about niceties anymore.
There were no sofas outside, not a single place to sit, and it was easier to talk.
After all, the soundproofing inside the room was much better than outside.
"Hurry, sit down and take a break."
Jhiang Yuan didn’t say much, and Qin Yue brought out an extra sheet, which she would always spread out at the foot of the bed.
The two of them knew what to do without being told, so they went and sat down at the foot of the bed.
She went out and brewed three cups of brown sugar water to bring over.
"Have some water, warm up your body~"
No one was being polite at this hour.
It was hot, but they could still drink it in small sips.
Once their bellies were warm, they could also warm their hands, and they all started to feel better.
"Mianmian, tell me, what happened over at the greenhouse?"
Zhang Kaiyang also quickly looked at her, Fan Qing had yet to return.
But since Ye Mianmian had returned, it meant that Song Yi hadn’t lied to him.
Indeed, someone was organizing the effort to send the workers back.
It was just a matter of some doing so earlier, others later, there was no need to be overly anxious.
"Sister Yuan, Sister Ying is dead..."
"What?"
She couldn’t believe it, now was just a time when the wind had picked up, and everyone was busy trying to escape.
How could she be dead, it was just too bizarre.
"It’s true, we were in the middle of working when all of a sudden the plastic sheeting was blown away."
The situation was similar to what they had experienced, with the plastic sheeting on the roof being the first to suffer.
"At the time, everyone was petrified, Sister Ying was in the next greenhouse, she also ran over.
But the subsequent greenhouses didn’t escape either, one by one they were overturned.
Even the supporting poles were uprooted. Sister Ying asked everyone to go and hold them.
But under those circumstances, no one was willing to and furthermore, they couldn’t catch up.
She grabbed onto a piece of plastic sheeting, but the wind was too strong, and it carried her away too.
We all shouted for her to let go, but she wouldn’t listen.
Back then she was still fine, although she couldn’t control it, her legs were still on the ground and she was running along."
My goodness, as she recounted this, Jhiang Yuan could visualize the scene in her mind.
"Then what, how did she die?"
"Yeah, yeah, what happened?"
Both of them were very curious and anxious.
"Aren’t there wooden poles in the middle of the greenhouse, those also went out of control.
They were blown over, and they hit her right on her body."
Jhiang Yuan was aware of those wooden poles, they were probably as thick as a small child’s waist.
Being hit by one, you definitely couldn’t withstand it.
Combined with the force of the wind, the person would really suffer.
"Sister Mianmian, how are you certain she’s dead?"
He had become exceptionally cautious; Xiao Yun was like that, yet she had survived.
This Sister Ying, it might not necessarily be the case.
"She’s gone, we were quite scared at the time, and no one went over.
After she was hit, more things kept hitting her one after another.
Then, she let go."
"Did you all go over to look?"
Jhiang Yuan was a little unsure and asked another question.
"No, we were too frightened at the time, we hurried to run away.
There was a mess of things all around, and once we got to the wall, we hid inside a building.
Later, someone came over and said they would send us back.
I was in the last group, they went to look for her, but Sister Ying’s body was nowhere to be found."
Alas, Jhiang Yuan still felt quite lamentable.
This Sister Ying could be considered to have died in the line of duty, at such a time she still thought about the plastic sheeting.
If it were her, she definitely couldn’t have done it.
However, upon further thought.
This Sister Ying was not exactly a good person either.
Back when Sister Zuo was sent away, she had spoken ill of her.
There was a ninety percent chance she knew about the situation over there.
To still speak in such a way could only prove that she was a callous and ruthless person...
