Chapter 11: Encounter, Reunion (10)
Xu Gui drove to the highest point in the area, where Hope Primary School was located.
At this time, the primary school was already full of people. There were evacuated civilians, stationed troops, and still more people pouring in, dragging children, supporting the elders and the young, with others carrying bundles and holding washbasins filled with miscellaneous items clattering loudly, rain thundering, and voices bustling. Amid such commotion, a row of soldiers sat neatly on the corridor floor of the school building, leaning against the wall, sleeping and resting, all covered in mud.
The car stopped next to the school building, and Xu Gui let her get out of the car, "Just stay here, interview the troops and the evacuated people, and remember not to wander off."
"And you?" She stood on the steps of the school building, half her body exposed to the rain, hurriedly covered by a raincoat.
He also got out of the car, carrying his equipment, "I'm going to check the river."
She was stunned for a moment before realizing. Why should she listen to his orders? He wasn't her superior! "I..."
She had just opened her mouth when he turned back, "You can't come with me! Just stay here obediently! Don't cause me trouble!"
"..." How did he know what she was about to say? And so rudely too! How was she a trouble? However, he had already run off into the rain, leaving her no time to retort.
Soon, his figure disappeared amidst the rain and the crowd, the thronging people making her unstable, unable to look for him anymore.
Among the crowd, two people caught her attention.
