Chapter 256 Shanshan, open the door
After making sure that no one had sneaked onto the island, Huo Ci followed Yu Lijun back home.
The task that was supposed to be completed in two days was delayed for five days because of Xiao Ri's interception.
After boarding the return warship, Huo Ci couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't tell Jiang Yushan a fixed time before departure. Otherwise, if he hadn't returned by the time, she would definitely be worried at home.
It was almost evening when the warship returned to the island. Huo Qingrong got the news and was already waiting by the shore to greet them.
"Are you hurt?" As soon as Huo Qingrong saw Huo Ci coming down, he immediately walked towards him and asked, his eyes kept looking at him.
Judging from the situation, Huo Ci did not have any serious injuries. Although he had some minor injuries, the way he walked did not seem like anything was wrong.
Huo Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the other soldiers who had come down.
There are not many injured soldiers, and none of them are seriously injured, so the situation looks quite optimistic.
"No one is wrong." Huo Ci responded, pointing to the warship behind him, "The damage to the warship is quite serious, let's have someone check it out."
When Huo Qingrong saw the warships coming just now, he noticed that they were covered with wounds. Even the one that went to support was not spared. It can be seen that the battle this time was quite fierce.
But as long as people are fine, these things are just trivial matters.
"Okay, you take the injured..." Huo Qingrong agreed and wanted to explain something, but stopped halfway through.
Huo Ci, who was in front of him just now, has now disappeared.
"This brat!" Huo Qingrong couldn't help but laugh and curse.
Although Huo Ci didn't say it, it was obvious that he must have run back home, anxious to see Jiang Yushan.
Even the soldiers who came back with them were looking in the direction of the family compound and shaking their heads.
This side of Huo Ci had never been seen before he got married.
"Wounded soldiers, go to the clinic for a check-up. The third canteen has left food for you. Go and eat if you are hungry." Huo Qingrong could only give instructions himself.
The troops have made all preparations and are just waiting for these soldiers to come back.
When Yan Dajiang heard that there was food to be eaten, he ran to the troops without saying a word. No one's injuries were serious, and some injured soldiers thought about it and decided to go and have a meal.
By the time the warship arrived at the coast, it was already past mealtime.
...
Jiang Yushan had already finished her meal at home and was walking on the beach with Hu Xiaowen.
Except for the explosion on the first night, the sea was calm during the past few days, and Jiang Yushan had not heard any bad news from Huo Qingrong.
They even asked Hu Xiaowen about it, but Lin Jianjun just said that everything was going well, which made the two of them feel a little relieved.
Huo Qingrong had specifically instructed not to tell anyone about Huo Ci's interception, especially to Lin Jianjun and Song Fei, not to tell their wives, otherwise Jiang Yushan would definitely know.
Jiang Yushan is pregnant now, and Huo Qingrong is really worried that she will be upset after hearing these things, which is dangerous for both adults and children.
"It's not even dark yet, but we can't see anything on the sea." Jiang Yushan looked around as he walked.
She had been helping out in the store these past few days and had been looking into the sea quite a lot, probably because she wanted to see Huo Ci's returning warship.
"Even if they come back, they won't go through this sea area. We may not be able to see anything from here." Hu Xiaowen explained, but she was thinking in her heart that people should be back soon.
"Oh..." Jiang Yushan nodded, but did not retract his gaze. He still held on to the hope that he could see it.
"The new dishes in the store are selling well recently. Your new cold noodles are selling well both for breakfast and lunch. The weather is hot now and everyone prefers to eat cold food." Seeing her like this, Hu Xiaowen quickly diverted her attention.
Sure enough, when Jiang Yushan heard about the store, he immediately became concerned: "I'm planning to make some lighter dishes recently, and I'm going to change the lunch menu to be more suitable for this weather."
Jiang Yushan had been thinking about this idea while helping out in the store these few days.
The roast duck was okay, but the coconut chicken was too hot to eat at noon. Kuku was sweating while eating it. And that was when she divided it into small portions instead of making it into hot pot and selling it directly.
She has to cook some cooling dishes to better retain customers.
"Sure, but don't be too anxious. You can teach us slowly and then change after we have learned it." Hu Xiaowen nodded, but was not at ease to leave everything to Jiang Yushan.
She is pregnant now, and Hu Xiaowen thinks Jiang Yushan only needs to give advice and there is no need to do it herself.
The two chatted for a while about the store's future plans. As it was getting dark, Hu Xiaowen took Jiang Yushan's arm and walked towards the staff quarters.
"Shanshan, I'm back!" With a call full of affection and urgency, Huo Ci hurriedly pushed open the door.
The door seemed to be shaken by his thoughts and opened with a slight creaking sound.
His voice echoed in the empty living room, carrying some of the fatigue from the journey, but more of the endless joy and anticipation of seeing his beloved one soon.
The moment he stepped through the door, Huo Ci's eyes searched everywhere, with an almost greedy light flashing in his eyes, eager to catch a glimpse of Jiang Yushan's figure as soon as possible.
Although they were separated for only a few short days, for Huo Ci it seemed like a long time, and every moment was filled with endless longing for Jiang Yushan.
"Shanshan...?" Not hearing any response from Jiang Yushan, Huo Ci called out again.
boom--
But inside the house, the only response he got was the sound of a door closing.
Click——
The door that had just been closed was locked again, and the person hiding inside didn't seem to want to see him.
"?" Huo Ci looked at the tightly closed bedroom door in confusion. He was even stunned for a moment. He couldn't understand why Jiang Yushan didn't welcome him happily when she heard he came back, but instead locked the door and avoided him.
"Shanshan?" Huo Ci quickly walked towards the bedroom.
The lights in the house were on, obviously Jiang Yushan should have been at home before he came back.
But for some reason, he suddenly hid in the bedroom.
"Shanshan, are you in there?" Huo Ci walked to the bedroom door and tried to turn it, but it didn't open. It was locked from the inside.
He knocked on the door, but no sound came out, as if there was no one inside.
If Huo Ci hadn't heard the sound of the bedroom door closing with his own ears, he wouldn't have been able to be sure that there was someone inside.
"What's wrong with you... Shanshan, open the door first." Huo Ci's face was solemn, and his tone suddenly became cold, with a majesty that could not be refused.
