On the beautiful Ganquan Island, Sergeant Major 2nd Class Gao Chien-shiung wears a steel helmet and stands numbly at the lookout post on the side of the stele, facing west, looking at the sea like a clay sculpture.

On those sunny days, the waters of Ganquan Island are full of color and the coral reefs are magnificent. As written in the primary school textbook "The Rich Wisha Islands".

However, no matter how beautiful a place is, as long as the area is small enough, it can only be heaven in the first week, earthly in the second week, and purgatory from the third week.

You will always get tired of watching the sea.

This is a place where pigs and pigs jump into the sea, and dogs are in a daze, and those who are not extremely determined by willpower can't hold it up at all.

The wind and rain are getting stronger and stronger, and it is estimated that there is a force 8 wind, and the simple roof of the lookout post cannot stop the rain at all, but Gao Jianxiong did not react.

Until a point of light appeared on the sea to the west, his pupils contracted, and he untied the rain cloth wrapped in the Bayi style.

"I've never seen our fishermen come to such a south in this weather, it can't be Vietnamese, right?"

He picked up the stick at hand and knocked on the wall under his feet, and soon three more soldiers ran out of the downstairs room: "Squad leader, what's wrong?

In 94, the country was quite poor, there was not much budget investment, and this kind of small island had only four soldiers on duty, and they had to take shifts. The wooden house they live in is a sleeping place downstairs, and a shed is a sentry on the roof, in order to save costs as much as possible, so the people standing guard can hear it downstairs when they stomp their feet.

Gao Chien-hsiung pointed to the bright light in the distance: "That's a boat, right? Xiaohu, you have good eyes, let's see if it's Vietnamese!"

Soldier Xu Hu took the binoculars and took a closer look: "It's not like a Vietnamese boat, the Vietnamese fishing boat is generally broken, and the warship is not like this. ”

Gao Jianxiong reproached: "I tell you to study more often! You have good eyes, and you can't even recognize the flags of neighboring countries!"

Fortunately, a sergeant next to him, who looked a little smarter, took the telescope and looked at it again, and said with a swagger:

According to China's relevant foreign permits, ships from the Lanfang Islands can enter China's waters, which is a purely Chinese country, and the foreign affairs department has also granted visa-free passports to the Lanfang Islands. However, we are also 600 nautical miles away from Lan Fang, and I have never seen Lan Fang's ship run so far before. ”

This sergeant's name is Ma Jiahui, and he is not a scholar, but he has been bored on the island for a long time, and he can recite the flags of all countries in the world, mutual passport visa-free policies and other terms.

In the Wisha Islands, there are many people who have such strange performances, mainly because they are too boring.

Some fighters can memorize the only books they have with them, even the instructions for medicines.

Those who don't want to read often choose to challenge themselves to do 2,000 push-ups in one go.

Gao Jianxiong nodded: "Then it may be that you are in trouble, let's not let our guard down, but if it is confirmed that we need help, we also have to help, after all, it is the same kind as the same text." ”

"Yes!

A few minutes later, the boat docked to a distance of only a few tens of meters from the island. Because the water was too shallow to lean forward, after the fishing boat was lowered, the four men overturned from the side of the boat, carried some things, and waded ashore in waist-deep water.

Seeing that the other party had no weapons and women, Gao Jianxiong hurriedly ordered the soldiers to help.

Gu Pan, who was walking in the front, hugged a medicine box and shouted: "Comrade, we are from the Lanfang Islands, we are all Han Chinese, and there is no malice." My brother had appendicitis, and the boat was too bumpy to operate, so I had to find a stable place to shore. ”

When Gao Jianxiong and the others heard this, they were shocked inexplicably, but they still pulled the people ashore first.

Long Wu and Xu Hu each shouldered, carried Gu Kun into the only room on the island, wiped the water and put it on the bed.

Gao Chien-shiung said: "This little lesbian, we are not the kind of big island here, there is no hospital, and none of us can operate." In your case, you can't shout a helicopter, you can't fly so far. ”

"We have the usual drugs for surgery, as well as the instruments. I'll just have my own surgery. Gu Kun lay down for a few seconds, took a slight breath, and answered the other party's concerns.

"Cut your own appendix?!What are you kidding! Guan Gong scrapes his bones to cure the poison, and Hua Tuo has to do it!" Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak.

"Why, there was a doctor in Lucia who gave herself local anesthesia and cut her appendix at the Antarctic research station. Lucia people can, why can't we Huaxia people?" Gu Kun propped up his upper body a little, and scolded with a bold smile.

Gao Jianxiong was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he complain: "You are really a man, I haven't served many people in the army for ten years, you have to have this ability...... Hey, what a bet I made with you. That's it, you can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, you just say how do you want us to cooperate. ”

Gu Kun puffed up his breath and ordered: "Get some fresh water, help me wash my whole body first, preferably with disinfected or boiled sheets and clothes." Then I raised the upper body of the bed a little higher, and then found a few clean mirrors to hang steadily on top of me, diagonally. ”

At this moment, it was only more than three hours since he had appendicitis pain, so he could still bear it.

The rainy day also ensures that the requirements for dust removal in the surgical environment will be lower, and there are no organisms on this island, not even grass grows, and there are no insects, so the dose of anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics is slightly larger, which can suppress the postoperative infection.

There is a key element in the survival of the former Lucia doctor, and it is also a place like the Antarctic research station, which is very pure, and the cold environment basically does not bring external active flora.

Everyone was touched by Gu Kun's temperament, and listened to his orders to prepare everything properly. Gu Pan even took the encapsulated sterile gauze brought on the boat, and made the bed for his brother as if he didn't need money.

Gu Kun gave himself a local anesthetic injection based on his experience, and after a few minutes, he lost pain in his abdomen.

Gu Kun was about to make a move, thought about it, and ordered his sister again: "You should take the video recorder on the ship and take a video tape for me." ”

The last time Gu Kun returned to Lanfang from Kuching, he also spent 8,000 yuan to buy a Sony videotape machine. The original intention was to record some of the heroic posture of his early entrepreneurship - to put it bluntly, he hoped to record his early struggle history like Ahri Baba's horse style, so as to achieve the post as evidence and establish the prestige of the circle in the future.

Strength is very important in doing business, but confidence is sometimes more important than strength to convince opponents, suppliers and customers that you are awesome. So when Gu Kun bought the video recorder, he felt that the money was not unjustly spent at all.

I didn't expect it to be used now.

Gu Pan was a little numb and sluggish, and he didn't want to listen to his brother, but he felt that he wanted to leave something more for his brother, so he went back to the boat and got the video recorder.

Gu Kun confidently began to move the knife.

……

Twenty minutes later, the right abdomen was sutured.

The knife edge is just over two inches long.

After all, the removal of the appendix is the smallest operation, and it is still the kind of appendix that does not suppurate and perforate, and only hurts for three or four hours. Moreover, if you look by hanging a mirror, you don't need to have a large field of vision, because when you were in pain before, you can sense the specific location of the affected area, which is more convenient than the doctor looking for it.

Of course, in this case, it is not a trivial task to remember the precise location of the pain before the anesthetic takes effect, and the requirements for perseverance and calmness are not trivial.

After sewing, Gu Kun wiped the perimeter again with the sterilizing solution, then carefully covered it with gauze blocks, and then asked his sister and Chen Li to wrap his waist a few more times.

Long Wu and the others and Gao Jianxiong and the others were all stunned.

"Is this still human. ”

"Brother, awesome. ”

Gu Kun didn't pay attention to them, just lay there and gasped for more than half an hour, waiting for the strength of the anesthetic to completely pass.

It's not that he's arrogant, it's just that it hurts.

After relieving his breath, he talked to Gao Jianxiong: "Comrade, I need to sleep here for the night, and the rest of them can go back to the boat." Tomorrow when the rain is light, I'll leave. ”

The cabin can also keep out the rain, but when the wind is too strong, the bumps can tear the knife edge, so staying for one night is the minimal.

Gao Jianxiong patted his chest and promised: "At least a week in bed for the operation, at least three days when you are younger, brother, you can live, just a few of us squeeze it, you are really a man, I will serve you." ”

Gu Kun smiled: "It's useless for you to obey me, I still have a boatload of fish, I'm afraid that I will die after a long time." ”

Only then did Gao Jianxiong remember to ask Gu Kun what he meant: "You are fishermen from Lanfang, go ...... Selling seafood in eastern Guangdong? I had never seen a foreign businessman directly drive a fishing boat to sell goods in eastern Guangdong. ”

Gu Kun: "That's because others have no vision and think Huaxia is poor." This year, the government has canceled the dual-track exchange rate system, which is a good time. ”

When Gao Jianxiong heard this, he became more and more awe-struck.

Although I don't know if what Gu Kun said is true, at least people can say so many good policies, and at first glance they are knowledgeable and have read books.

But he still looks so young.

"Brother, you are really a person with great skills, you can write and martial arts, I think you will not be a thing in the pool sooner or later. ”

Gu Kun didn't have much strength after the operation, and he didn't want to deal with these compliments anymore, so he took the opportunity to turn the topic to the other party and let the fighters talk about their own affairs.

Of course, it will definitely not contain military information, which Gu Kun is very knowledgeable about.

During the conversation, Gu Kun learned that Gao Jianxiong was the oldest, 28 years old, 10 years in the army, and may have to face a change of career. He was stationed on eight islands, and for several years he drove assault boats to deliver supplies to those small islands. (It's similar to the kind of speedboat that sits five people in the chicken)

For several others, Ma Jiahui may continue to serve as a non-commissioned officer, while Xu Hu may be discharged from the army after the end of compulsory service.

Gu Kun noticed a detail: "Brother Gao, you were standing guard just now, and you were the first to discover us? ”

Gao Jianxiong: "So what?"

Gu Kun smiled bitterly: "I thought there were no outsiders here, you would relax." ”

Gao Jianxiong was very disapproving: "What kind of mentality do you have, I am a D-member cadre, of course I have to lead by example." ”

Gu Kun stared at the other party's eyes and confirmed for two seconds, convinced that what he said was true.

Gu Kun sighed, "You remind me of Robinson Crusoe." Indeed, after being away from the deceit and deceit of human socialization, no matter what kind of mentality a person has when he comes to the island, he will indeed have a lot less twists and turns after staying for a long time. ”

Robinson wasn't going to put on a show with Friday because it didn't make sense. This is the purifying effect of the mind that comes from being away from the hustle and bustle.

After chatting for a while, it was getting late.

There is no electricity on the island, only an emergency diesel generator, which is not used in normal times. So the warriors took out the cans one after another and hurried to eat while they had the last remaining moments.

Gao Jianxiong kindly asked Gu Kun and the others if they wanted to eat.

Gu Kun said that he couldn't eat it after the operation, and politely refused. However, he also noticed that all four of them were eating poorly, and the only food for vitamin supplements was canned green beans, or compressed biscuits, luncheon meat, or something.

"Brother Xiong, no matter what, you guys can be regarded as saving half my life. I'll take care of someone to repay the favor, Long Wu, go to the boat and get some of our supplies, as well as fresh fish. ”

"No, we'll get the fish ourselves. "Gao Jianxiong is very disciplined.
