“That gentleman over there—you can’t come here.” The squad leader of the rescue team was a major, and he was directing the rescued people to go down the mountain.

Gu Juexi didn’t even spare him a glance; he raised his head and looked inside. “After fifteen minutes, the rain will get heavier. If you can’t bring the people out within fifteen minutes, then it will be your dereliction of duty.” Gu Juexi’s voice was low but it held unquestionable authority.

The Major stared blankly for a second then instinctively responded, “The elder is quite old and can’t get close to the rescue spots that we can reach. We are still trying to figure out a way.”

Gu Juexi turned around to glance at the major. “If you have time to figure things out here, you would have already reached him. Should that elder come to any harm, you will be unworthy of that uniform. Don’t embarrass yourself as a soldier,” Gu Juexi said coldly as he seized a rope belt from a nearby soldier, tied it around his waist and walked into the surging water current.

The major was still in a daze as he watched Gu Juexi go down, so much so that he didn’t even think of stopping him. He watched as Gu Juexi descended following the flow of the river, and made use of the rope belt to jump towards the man on the opposite side of the river. The rescue team watched him, dumbfounded.

“Who is this?”

“What the heck! Is he Spiderman?”

“Really crazy.”

The men exclaimed in shock at the scene unfolding in front of them.

The major blinked as he observed the man who had crossed their last rescue spot, untied the rope belt and fastened it around a tree nearby. He continued to watch as the man headed towards the rooftop inside the village until his silhouette disappeared from sight.

“It’s Gu Juexi. Gu Juexi from the Central Theater Command ¹ . That man is Gu Juexi!” The major exclaimed suddenly, his eyes shining brightly.

The man who had disappeared from the military region for more than ten years was suddenly appearing here?

When Gu Juexi found the old soldier—the old man was just sitting on the rooftop watching the heavy rain.

Gu Juexi jumped over. He watched the flood that would soon surge towards the rooftop and squatted in front of the old man calmly. “Old man, this downpour is heavier than the flood of 1998, isn’t it?”

The old man slowly came back to his senses. He chuckled as he looked at Gu Juexi beside him. “I’m already so old. Young man, go back, don’t put your life in danger for me.”

Gu Juexi also smiled and wasn’t flustered in the slightest. “This peace and prosperity was gained through the battles your men had fought in. If we can’t even protect you, then we would have brought shame upon our predecessors.”

“Hahaha. Young man, which military area are you from? Why aren’t you wearing the military uniform? That military uniform really can’t be taken off,” the old man said earnestly.

“The primary XX military region. I’ve been retired for more than ten years. Old man, let’s go,” Gu Juexi said. As the flood was already reaching their feet, Gu Juexi did not intend to stay and chat.

As Gu Juexi spoke, he turned around and squatted in front of the old man. Once the old man had climbed onto his back, he used his jacket to securely bind the old man to himself.

“Oh, you’re already retired. Are you married then? Any children?” The old man asked.

Gu Juexi carried the old man on his back and quickly made his way out of the place that was about to collapse. “Already married. Two children; one son and one daughter.”

“One son and one daughter. That’s very good.” The old man chuckled. “Since you’ve already retired, then you should focus on things outside of the army. For you to put your life at risk for an old bag of bones like me, what about your wife and children?”
