Chapter 2: Upheaval
Because Dewey's injuries were so bad, the nearby temporary field hospital could no longer treat him, and in this way, Dewey was dragged away by the helicopter sent by the regiment.
Saving people is important, time cannot be delayed, and Dewey has already been in deep shock halfway through. The plane made a forced landing directly at the nearest military hospital.
Within ten minutes, Dewey was successfully lifted onto the operating table. The doctors shook their heads as they examined the injuries. The bullet pierced his lungs, two ribs were broken, and there was bruise in part of the lungs, and there was too much bleeding on the way, and Dewey could not have survived tonight.
As soon as he entered the operating room for about 10 minutes, the doctor came out and issued a critical illness notice, and asked the team leader to inform the team to prepare for the future.
The news spread quickly, and the company commander immediately learned that Dewey was going to die, so he was so anxious that he put on his military coat and got on the plane, saying that he would take Dewey home in person, regardless of whether it was a corpse or a living person.
The operation lasted from 5 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and the company commander arrived at the door of the operating room at 9 a.m.
"If this kid comes back to life, he must be promoted! Dead, Lao Tzu carried him home!" The company commander pouted with his eyes.
The world is unpredictable. At half past six in the evening, a doctor with bloody hands and sweat rushed out of the operating room, and he couldn't breathe. Prevent.. Prevent.. Dewey.. He... Heβ" This annoyed everyone present.
"What the hell is going on, you say!" the company commander was so angry that his eyes turned red.
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, "It's alive... It's alive..."
The company commander was about to jump to the ceiling, "Hahahaha, I said this kid.. Fucking blessings are great! Lao Tzu is served! Lao Zhang, I'm in for a treat in the team tonight!"
The few people present, the hanging hearts really fell, and the life of this kid Dewey was simply picked up from the edge of the ghost gate. The news that Dewey was injured and survived this fatal wound soon reached the ears of the regiment commander, who was also going to visit Dewey in the hospital, and now Dewey became a celebrity.
This was Dewey's second time in the ICU, and the last time was several years ago.
Five days later, Dewey was transferred to a general ward. When he woke up, the first thing he had to say to the company commander was not to tell his mother about his injury.
"It's... Well, your mother doesn't know yet, but we've sent someone to your house the other day to comfort your old mother. The company commander smoked a cigarette. "Don't move, someone is coming to see you in a moment. β
"Company Commander Wang, you can't dominate such a soldier alone! This and this, our friendship..."
Dewey was dumbfounded, and instantly petrified. "Regiment .. Regiment.. Commander?"
The company commander immediately saluted and got up to give up his seat to the regiment commander. "Guy, how is your recovery?" the regimental commander squinted his eyes and spoke.
I can't believe that the head of the regiment is so big that he has come to see him! "Good, good, great! I'll be on a mission soon... Ah!!" Dewey moved excitedly around the hospital bed, and cried out in pain when he accidentally moved the wound.
"Look at it, look at it, this stinky boy will shine when he gives him a little sunshine, huh?" the company commander slapped Dewey on the head with his hat.
"Well, not much to say, I'm here this time, first, to visit Comrade Du, and after listening to Comrade Du's deeds, our whole group is applauding you! I've already asked my superiors for instructions..."The regimental commander put out the square box in his hand.
The company commander shouted: "Thank you now, regimental commander!
"This... This.. Thank you, Captain! I really don't dare to accept it!" Dewey was moved to tears.
"What is there to dare not receive. Also, this, Lao Wang, you have time to show Comrade Du. The regiment commander handed Company Commander Wang a document and left.
At night, Company Commander Wang was alone in the corridor in a daze. The regiment commander turned out to be digging people, and the more he thought about it, the more he didn't feel good. "I can't keep it, I can't keep it..."
Early the next morning, Company Commander Wang told Dewey about the document.
"But... I'm going to retire, and the term of compulsory service is up?" Dewey couldn't believe what he heard.
The Military Region promoted Dewey to a non-commissioned officer, and half a year later he was directly promoted to a special operations brigade directly under the Central China Military Region.
The promotion of non-commissioned officer also meant that Dewey's service time was extended by several years, and he entered the special operations brigade thinking that a greater test was waiting for him.
After he was discharged from the hospital, the army granted Dewey a two-month leave. After returning home, Dewey did not go to find Yu Mengting, but accompanied his mother every day, because he knew that going home this time was not a retirement but a longer parting.
After Dewey's hard work, Wang Jing reluctantly agreed to Dewey's return to the army. However, Wang Jing didn't know that Dewey had taken a trip from Lord Yama, nor did he know that he was going to the special operations brigade to suffer again, all of which Dewey had been hiding from Wang Jing.
Honestly, Dewey was such a tough guy!
After Dewey returned to the army, the regiment commander came over to do ideological work for Comrade Dewey in three days, and Dewey, who had loved the barracks, really couldn't resist the regiment commander's sugar-coated shells.
On October 16, 1992, Dewey signed the promotion order, which gave Dewey another three years of service and was successfully promoted to corporal.
In the 93 military district competition, Dewey took the third, broke his head, and spent three days in the hospital.
In 94, Dewey won the championship in the shooting competition of the Military Region, and was awarded the Order of the Sharpshooter and the third-class meritorious service.
In 95, Dewey's special operations brigade was directly ordered by the Central Military Commission to go to the Middle East to participate in peacekeeping campaigns. This time, however, Dewey was not too badly wounded, and in this battle Dewey killed 18 hostile forces.
Until the second half of 95, the special operations brigade asked Dewey to apply for a military academy and work in the army for the rest of his life. But Dewey hesitated, after 95 years, did he really want to work here for the rest of his life?
One night, Dewey was so tired from his workout that he crawled back to his bedroom. Lying on the bed, his mind was blank, dazed, and his vision became more and more blurred......
"Dewey, Dewey, I love you!"
"Dewey, don't go, don't go, I miss you so much! We... Let's get married..."
It's almost impossible to see clearly, Dewey is sitting in an armored car, almost armed to the teeth, carrying a gun in his hand, Yu Mengting and her mother are chasing slowly behind, they are too slow, the figures of the two are getting smaller and smaller, and they almost fade out of Dewey's field of vision.
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet exploded directly on Yu Mengting's forehead, and she slowly fell in a pool of blood...
"Ahhh!!!!!!h
"What are you doing... This... Viagra.. It's only past three o'clock. The comrade-in-arms next to the bed complained with half-squinted eyes.
It turned out that Dewey had a nightmare.
Early the next morning, Dewey got up and left early, and no one knew where he had gone.
Boom, the company commander turned on the light in the office corridor to prepare for the review report, and it seemed that the company commander hadn't woken up yet! What are you doing here squatting?" the company commander saw Dewey squatting on the ground.
"These six points are not enough, you don't train, what are you doing here with me? Assassinate me? I don't have a good temper like your company commander Wang, and no one can follow the rules of the special operations brigade..."
"Company Commander Li! This is my transfer report!" Dewey immediately interrupted Company Commander Li's words, "I've thought a lot about it these days, and I've decided not to take the military academy exam, and I'm also rushing to our special operations brigade at this time, the contract of our special operations brigade is about to expire, and I... Please give instructions from the company commander!"
In the end, the Special Operations Brigade failed to retain Dewey, and in December '95, Dewey changed jobs.
Dewey secretly returned home without saying hello to Wang Jing.
"Mom! I'm back!" The whole village gathered in front of Du's house, watching this young man who had retired from the army. "Mom! Mom!"
After a few calls, no one answered. "Boy, shit, your mother, she should go to work in the fields! You go to the crops." An old man in the crowd shouted.
Dewey climbed over the wall into the compound, unloaded the parcels and luggage, and went straight to the field.
Strangely, there is no one to be found in this crop. There is no firewood field in the back mountain.
At about 7 o'clock in the evening, Dewey walked home with a disappointed face, and suddenly there was a person standing there in front of the house.
"Mom, Mom! I'm back. Dewey rushed over directly, but the more he looked at this person, the more he looked at it, the more he didn't look like it! When he got closer, he realized that this person was Yu Mengting.
The two looked at each other, and both showed smiles that they hadn't seen in a long time.
"Tingting, why are you here?" said Dewey, jumping up and down happily.
"I'm here to see Auntie... By the way, I came once two days ago, and my aunt was not at home, why is she not at home today, are you going out to play?"
Dewey's head was dizzy, ", I've been looking for a long time, I haven't found it, I just came back from the army today, and I don't know where this person went when I came back." Dewey began to panic in his heart, "It's impossible to go out to play, my mother is usually a loner, she doesn't have a habit of traveling, and no one accompanies her." β
"Then have you entered the house?" Dewey was anxious.
"No, the door has been locked, what's wrong Dewey, is something wrong?" Yu Mengting stomped her foot.
If you don't enter the door, you can find clues at home. "Well, don't worry, you wait outside, I'll go into the house and drink water. Dewey deliberately put on a look of not being in a hurry, but in fact, his heart was already in chaos. Dewey climbed over the wall and went in.
Dewey walked cautiously, carefully observed the surroundings, nothing unusual, turned on the lights in the courtyard and the living room, tables, chairs, sofas, and beds, and placed them in their original places. Look at the bathroom again, there is nothing unusual except that it is too neat, and the floor is scaryly clean!
Could it be that Mom is really out of the house?
Dewey was really confused, he walked to the wedding photo, lifted the frame, there was a lot of dust on the table, and looked at the front and back of the photo, there was nothing strange.
No! There is a line of writing on the back of the photograph, and the sharp-eyed Dewey has taken a look.
Putting the photo under the light, Dewey took a pen and paper and wrote down this line of numbers, and the handwriting was already dry. I don't know when it was written.
When Dewey was puzzled. A voice of "Dewey!what's going on!" came from the door, Yu Mengting was in a hurry, she was afraid that something would happen.
"It's okay, it's okay, my mom left a note on the table, saying she went on a trip. Dewey opened the door to the compound. "It's so late, why don't you go back first, and bring your things back first. Dewey pointed to the big bag in Yu Mengting's hand, and at this time Dewey just wanted to take Yu Mengting away.
The door was closed, and it was indeed not too early to see that it was dark, and Yu Mengting went home.
Dewey, who was sitting at the table, was in a daze. "No!" he suddenly roared, and he suddenly recalled that Wang Jing was recruited by the military recruitment office to serve as a volunteer army in the north to fight floods when he was young, that is, when Dewey was a few years old, and he spent that time at his grandmother's house in the county.
But what does this prove? Thinking about it along this road, Dewey felt that he was in trouble! Looking at the number in his hand, "5984-5466-8960-.... "Everything is clear!" This is simply a living Morse message!
He wasn't sure if his mother had studied Morse messages when she was a volunteer, and Dewey was in a state of panic!
This is not simple, Dewey rushed to the city overnight to buy the plane back to the troops, with this string of numbers, he wanted to find out what was going on!
Although these are Dewey's cranky thoughts. Anyway, Dewey didn't have to stop for a while...
