Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1471: Chapter 1471: Since it has come, then settle it.

”Are you insane? What did I tell you? You actually saved two soldiers!!” The man’s rough voice echoed through the courtyard outside, sounding extremely dissatisfied.

”Dad! When I found them, both of them were already at death’s door. If I hadn’t saved them, they would have certainly died.” The woman’s frail voice mixed with a hint of pleading, ”They have already lost the ability to move now. They look as pitiable as can be.”

”I think your compassion is just overflowing, isn’t it? Let me tell you, you better throw these two out first thing tomorrow morning,” the man said angrily.

”Dad! They are military personnel!”

”Of course I know they’re military personnel! It’s precisely because they’re soldiers that I’m telling you to get rid of them!”

”No! This time it’s an earthquake, they came for disaster relief. Now, with them injured like this, you want me to drive them away. I absolutely disagree.” The girl’s voice sounded very angry, and her emotions had become much more agitated than before.

”My foolish girl! Just listen to your father and throw those two out. Don’t meddle in their business,” the man said helplessly.

”No! I must intervene. Dad! Haven’t you brought upon enough sins? I am repaying your debts!”

The girl began to sob.

The courtyard fell silent all of a sudden.

After a while, they heard the man say, ”Alright. This time I’ll let you have your way. But remember, this is the last time. From now on, don’t interfere with my affairs, and don’t inquire about them either.”

”Fine.” The girl forced the word out through clenched teeth, ”I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore, and you might as well pretend you don’t have a daughter.”

”What? Are you planning to break ties with me?”

”Yes. Because of you, my conscience is tortured every day! Because of you, I feel that my existence is a sin. Dad, just go! Don’t come to this place anymore. This little courtyard doesn’t welcome you.”

The man said nothing.

After a while, only the sound of footsteps fading into the distance could be heard.

”Tian Niu, it seems our situation is a bit complicated,” Qin Jian said in a low voice.

”Sounds like that girl’s father isn’t a good person, huh? Seems to have a grudge against us soldiers!” Tian Niu analyzed with his not-so-brilliant mind, ”If he dislikes soldiers, could he be a criminal or something?”

”Possibly.” But Qin Jian wasn’t concerned about that right now; even if the man was a criminal, there was nothing they could do. In their current state, if someone really wanted to kill them, they would be like fish on the chopping block.

There was no escape from such a situation.

”Commander, aren’t you a bit too calm? Aren’t you worried about our personal safety?” Tian Niu asked somewhat anxiously.

”If they wanted to kill us, they wouldn’t have saved us! Let’s just be content with our lot. Actually, I’m even more worried about An Hao and the child... I have no idea how they are doing.” Thinking of his young wife washing her face with tears, Qin Jian’s heart ached.

”Same with my Shuangshuang,” sighed Tian Niu, shifting his body and feeling sharp pains everywhere, ”If she thinks I’m dead... I’m worried her mother will make her remarry. What if, Shuangshuang being stubborn, decides to die for love?”

”So, we must recover well and strive to leave this place as soon as possible,” Qin Jian said with a determined look.
