The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Chapter 161 The Army and the People Are One Family
"Forget about the vehicles for now, let's unload the supplies and move them to a safe area first. We can figure out the rest later."

Huo Chen directed his men to unload the cargo from the vehicle, salvaging as much as possible.

"Captain, there seems to be some movement ahead."

The people around Huo Chen leaned forward and listened carefully; they could hear shouts amidst the rain.

"Captain, did Battalion Commander Lu and his men send people to pick us up?" The man wiped the rain off his face and exclaimed in surprise.

Great, it’s saved!
Otherwise, they would all be afraid of encountering a landslide, which would mean certain death.

Upon hearing this, Huo Chen quickly climbed onto the slippery rocks, stood up straight against the swirling wind, and shouted loudly at the opposite side. The people behind him, fearing that the other side might not hear them, also shouted a few times.

Lu Beiting's people on the other side also paused for a moment. Zhang Yi was the first to react and started to respond. After the two sides matched the signal, they were full of energy.

Lu Beiting stood by the roadside, looking down at the situation below. This was a bend in the road, and below was a valley.

"Zhang Yi, just push it down, clear a path first, and then bring the person over."

A group of people braved the heavy rain, using shovels to clear the road.

Lu Beiting looked worriedly at the mountain to the side, fearing that something might go wrong along the way.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, Zhang Yi and his group finally spotted Huo Chen and his group. Before everyone could rejoice, something strange came from the mountain, and the expressions of both sides changed drastically. They could only hurriedly retreat.

In just a few breaths, they blocked the path they had painstakingly cleared back into place.

"Damn it," Zhang Yi couldn't help but curse.

Lu Beiting's forehead veins bulged, and his hands clenched tightly. "It's okay, let's try again. If we delay any longer, Huo Chen will only be in more danger."

Everyone took a deep breath, picked up their tools, and got to work again.

Just then, a loud commotion came from behind. Lu Beiting looked back and saw Shen Hangzhi, Qin Beishan, Xu Rufeng and others followed by a group of people who were rushing over in the heavy rain. Due to a shortage of raincoats, they were basically running in the pouring rain.

"Battalion Commander, we're here to help you."

"Aren't the villagers just a pile of stones? They can't possibly outnumber us. We'll take them on today!"

"Yes, yes."

As a result, the gaps were crowded with people, some of whom climbed up and pushed the top rocks.

Lightning flashed intermittently in the sky, but the rumbling sound didn't seem so terrifying at the moment.

After pushing away some rocks, the strong men simply flipped over the obstacles and helped Huo Chen and the others lift the car that was stuck in the mud. Then they began to load the supplies onto the car, covering the supplies with one piece of clothing after another.

Huo Chen and the others were all wearing vests that were already soaked through.

"Thank you, comrades, thank you, fellow villagers."

"The military and the people are one family, no need for thanks. Captain Huo, please come with us first."

Huo Chen left a few people to drive, and took the rest of the group ahead.

Lu Beiting and his men saluted him, and Huo Chen returned the salute.

"Captain Huo, go back first. We'll be there shortly." Lu Beiting turned around and told Zhang Yi to take Huo Chen and the others back to the unit first.

The car can't get through yet; we need to move it a bit more.

"It's alright, it's already wet. Many hands make light work, let's move the stones together."

Seeing this, Lu Beiting could only nod.

Finally, before nightfall, they successfully began their journey back. Everyone was in high spirits throughout the trip.

I don't know who started it.

A resounding song of returning from target practice echoed through the mountains.

"The sun sets in the west, its red glow scattering across the mountains; the soldiers return to camp after target practice..."

……

The women in the army started a big fire and set up a large pot early in the morning to cook a pot of hot soup.

Huo Chen and the others changed into dry clothes and stood by the fire watching this joyful scene. Huo Chen said to Lu Beiting beside him, "You're smart to have gathered all the villagers together, otherwise it would have been difficult."

"Thanks to you all, we would have had nothing to eat if you hadn't come soon." Lu Beiting looked at him with a smile.

Huo Chen and his group brought a lot of rice and a small amount of meat, which should be enough to last until the rainstorm is over.

"By the way, those guys with your wife don't look like they're easy to mess with." Huo Chen thought back to when he first arrived, he saw a big shed at the entrance of the military base. He went over to take a look out of curiosity and saw a densely packed flock of mountain birds and beasts of all sizes. As soon as he got a little closer, he could hear their breaths rising and falling.

Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

In the end, a monkey jumped in, its fists flying in afterimages.

Lu Beiting couldn't help but smile. "Her friend called down because it was dangerous up the mountain."

Huo Chen looked at him with a look of disbelief. "It's only because you guys have a ban on hunting and no one hunts that you can live in harmony. If it were where we are, tsk tsk tsk, we'd probably have caught them and eaten them long ago."

Lu Beiting raised an eyebrow, too lazy to listen to his nagging, "Let's go, going to spend time with my wife and kids."

Then, unusually smug, she looked at him and said, "My wife, twins!"

Huo Chen looked at him speechlessly, "Yes, yes, you guys are amazing. Really, what's there to be so smug about?"

Lu Beiting turned and left, and Huo Chen couldn't help but feel envious as he watched his retreating figure.

Good heavens, twins!
Xia Zhi was grilling meat by the fire at that moment.

When Lu Beiting arrived, he sat down next to her and looked at the meat in her hand with surprise. "You're eating rabbit right in front of them? Is that really okay?"
Lu Beiting looked at the nest of rabbits inside. Could it be that his wife was hungry and had just...

Xia Zhi looked at the look in his eyes and knew he had misunderstood. She raised her hand and patted him lightly. "What are you thinking? These died on the mountain. They picked them up for me while they were looking for food."

Lu Beiting's lips twitched a few times. Well, he didn't quite understand.

But it smells good.

"Oh, right, there's also a deer. Why don't you take it in to help everyone get some nourishment? It's a good thing."

Lu Beiting: "..."

"Well, forget it." After all, he only ate a little last time and then... well, it's not safe with so many people around.

"What are you thinking? Don't worry, it won't happen. I've already taken the nourishing ingredients, and I'll give you the restorative ones slowly later." Xia Zhi said casually, staring at the almost cooked roasted rabbit in her hand.

Lu Beiting: "..."

“Wife, I’m perfectly healthy. I don’t need any supplements. Taking too many will only make you suffer,” Lu Beiting said earnestly, then leaned closer. “My body is perfectly healthy without any supplements.”

Xia Zhi froze for a few seconds, then raised her hand in shame and anger and slapped his arm a few times.

What on earth is this person thinking all day long?!
The ball next to it excitedly bounced around a few times as well.

"Hiss!" Lu Beiting grimaced as he looked at the man and the monkey. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether his wife had learned this fighting style from the ball, or the ball had learned it from his wife.
