Chapter 81: 081 Aweso young man Chapter 81: 081 Aweso young man Hua Mi explained to Cao Feng why she needed to set up a temporary oilcloth tent.
Because Cao Feng and Tang You were Garrison injured, Hua Mi initially didn’t plan to discuss these matters with them.
For fear of affecting their recovery.
But seeing how Cao Feng could still be active, she decided to tell him; after all, when the injured were brought over, Cao Feng and Tang You would find out anyway.
Both of them would also have to help take care of the rescue team’s injured.
Cao Feng just froze for a mont and then remained silent.
He bent his head and helped Hua Mi adjust the oilcloth, enclosing a square space between the RV and the bus. Then, he silently went to the outdoor supermarket outside the RV and helped stock the empty shelves with mineral water.
Behind the RV and the bus, there was a big wall that Huo Jing had led people to build, which now served as a storage area.
The wall was covered with waterproof oilcloth, which was quite effective; not a single drop of rain had leaked into the storage area.
Seeing Cao Feng busy himself, Hua Mi went into the walled storage, placing Orange Juice x1000 in the corner.
Condoms, Self-heating Mini Hot Pot (Dark Mustard Flavor), Breathing Machine (Children), Breathing Machine (Adult), Mineral Water (All sizes), Newborn Onesies, Xiao Chaihu Granules, Heart-cleansing Tea, Baby Diapers, and Folic Acid at the quantity of x10000, were all piled into the walled storage as well.
This outdoor supermarket selling various sizes of mineral water had always been Hua Mi’s best source of inco.
But she also had a lot to do, often being unable to keep up with placing the mineral water on shelves at the rate it was sold.
Lately, Hua Mi felt both sleepy and greedy for snacks, and a bit lazy, not wanting to do heavy work.
So, the shelves outside the RV were often empty.
Once empty, she really didn’t want to move around and restock the shelves with mineral water.
That’s why Da Fu and Xiao Fu had beco her best little helpers.
Before the walled storage was available, Hua Mi could only drive the flatbed truck around, find a corner with no people nor surveillance, load a few dozen boxes of mineral water on the flatbed, and then haul it back to the RV where Da Fu and Xiao Fu would co up to help.
Later, the task of stocking the RV’s shelves was eagerly taken over by Cao Feng.
And now, it was even more convenient with the walled storage; Hua Mi only needed to arrange for a large truck to move the materials into the storage area.
In fact, no one could really keep track of how much material was moved into the walled storage.
Cao Feng, wearing a raincoat made of waterproof oilcloth by Ye Rong, quickly moved items like mineral water and orange among others onto the shelves.
He had only placed about half of them when soone ca to buy water.
A man holding a water bottle, upon seeing Cao Feng turn around, got so frightened that he dropped the mineral water bottle to the ground.
Perhaps knowing how his appearance might distress others, Cao Feng’s expression shifted, and he turned his face away.
The man couldn’t help but burst out,
“You look like that, don’t you have any sense? Don’t co out and scare people, okay?”
Cao Feng didn’t respond, his body hunched and a wave of inferiority and sha swept over him.
It was as if appearing in public in his burnt state was indeed his fault.
“Damn it!”
The man continued to curse, truly startled by the appearance of this monstrous man,
“You’re wearing a raincoat, what performance is this here? The Bell Tower Monster or what…”
Before he could finish, Hua Mi, standing behind him, smacked his ear sending his head to one side.
Hua Mi then kicked his lower back and scolded,
“You look human enough, but apart from your mouth running, there’s nothing human about you!”
“She must be pregnant,” she thought to herself, not wanting to move an inch; all she wished was to find a spot to cuddle up. But this man’s mouth was just too damn irritating.
Hua Mi kicked the man a few tis before Gong Yi, who appeared behind her without her realizing, quickly embraced her.
Before Hua Mi could express her surprise about Gong Yi’s sudden appearance, he wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind, lifted her into the air, and set her aside. He then stepped forward, grabbed the man on the ground, and said coldly,
“Do you even know who you’re insulting? Hmm? Why is he like this? It’s because he rescued countless people from the ruins; the gas cylinders in the rubble exploded and did this to him!”
“If you utter one more disgraceful word…”
Gong Yi, gripping the other man’s collar, threw a punch.
“Don’t make a hero, who saves lives, feel like this world isn’t worth it!”
Another punch landed, giving the foul-mouthed man a set of panda eyes.
Hua Mi watched from the side, alongside Da Fu and Xiao Fu, who were gleefully clapping in their little raincoats,
“Well done, hit him hard.”
“Yeah, hit the bad guy, kill him, kill him!”
You can’t actually kill soone, at most just beat them to a pulp.
Because there are rules.
Hua Mi rolled her eyes, watching Gong Yi beat up the offensive man and thinking that one day, regulations might kill these garrison and lifeguard mbers.
Just like her previous life, the garrison and lifeguards, despite knowing they shouldn’t charge headlong due to faulty leadership directives, would nonetheless sacrifice lives in disasters or calamities.
Even knowing it ant certain death, they proceeded without a backward glance.
Because that was their discipline.
Gong Yi turned around again, straightening the stooped Cao Feng.
“Stand up straight, what are you afraid of? You haven’t done anything shaful, you have a clear conscience, why cower?”
“Stand tall, damn it, you’re a hero, what’s there to fear from those critics?”
He patted Cao Feng’s shoulders before taking hold of his neck, pressing his forehead against Cao Feng’s, almost wishing he could transplant his own beliefs into Cao Feng’s mind,
“Brother, we can’t hide in the shadows forever. You are the pride of the rescue team, our pride. You must live with dignity.”
“I’ll always be watching over you, watching you live with dignity.”
So what if his face was completely disfigured?
There’s no law against showing such a face in the sun, is there?
It’s not the face that’s ugly. It’s the spiteful people who know the truth and still scoff and sneer, saying this face is an eyesore.
This wouldn’t be the last ti; many more such stares and hurtful words will forever accompany Cao Feng.
Nobody knew what Cao Feng had been through. Since they knew nothing, why couldn’t they hold their tongues a little longer?
“Yes!!!”
Cao Feng stood up straight, his eyes reddening, his face covered in hemostatic gel, making it look as if it were wrapped in transparent cling film.
Yet, despite his disheveled, bizarre appearance, a determined light shone through.
People who live earnestly are always the most beautiful.
Hua Mi couldn’t help but break into a proud maternal smile; seeing Gong Yi and Cao Feng looking over, she gave Cao Feng a thumbs-up.
What a fine young man, you must keep trying to live optimistically and strongly.
