Chapter 338: When I Say Goodbye to My Comrades-in-Arms (4,000 Words in One Update)
Near the wee hours of the morning, when it was almost dark outside, Dean Qin looked worriedly at Dr. Shao, who was busy working in the makeshift operating room.
Since learning that Li Tong had sacrificed, Xiao Shao just asked her for a clean military uniform and never said a word again.
She could see that he was forcing himself to devote himself to busy work, and perhaps the sadness would not be so deep in the marrow and into the heart and lungs.
Before leaving, she received Xiao Shao's love report in the office, and when Xiao Shao stood on the operating table for several hours, she had advised him to pay attention to rest, and he joked at that time:
"Dean, for my sake, I'll hand in the marriage report when I go back, open a back door for me, and help approve it quickly."
Dr. Shao personally pulled out the steel bars on Li Tong's body and carefully scrubbed Li Tong, so that all the medical staff could empathize with his desire to restore Li Tong to his original state.
If it weren't for Ye Boting and the summer when they had to change their clothes for Li Tong by hand, Dean Qin believed that this young man of more than 1.8 meters would personally change Li Tong into new clothes and shoes. It's like a husband who has already started a family.
Dean Qin walked outside the tent and looked at the situation of the three girls outside with his feet crossed and through the faint moonlight.
She looked at the three small groups huddled in a ball, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Once upon a time, she would just call one of the three by name, and the other two would come running to help.
That kind of tacit understanding, that kind of sincere friendship, others can feel it without asking.
It's still the figure of three girls coming together, but it's so far apart. She could feel the heart-rending sadness.
It's no longer muttering as if there is never enough to say, it's lonely and deeply depressed at the moment.
One of them has been replaced. The honest and upright girl under her will never appear again.
Li Tong's sudden departure caught everyone off guard.
Summer bent his knees and hugged himself and said to himself: "I shouldn't have left to call it a bullshit engineering truck, in fact, I am the one who should go down the hole the most." I'm skinny, I'm climbing up. It's me who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
She couldn't turn this corner, she thought that she had left Li Tong like this, and if she was there, Li Tong would not leave.
Ye Boting shook his head and gritted his teeth to make a sound. I can't wait to start all over again:
"If you don't blame you, you should blame me. I got confused and called someone else. It's so narrow, they can't go down when they are called, so I should go down, I have my brother in my house......"
Ye Boting was so sad that he couldn't help himself. Sacrificed to have a brother there. Mom and Dad have sustenance.
She couldn't imagine whether Li Tong's parents, who were far away in a small mountain village in the northeast, could stand the blow. All she had to think about was that. I felt that I should take a step back, even if it was my own sacrifice...... She began to babble gibberish.
"It's my fault. If I hadn't had a bad ear, we'd have left long ago. If you can't hear the child crying, you won't ......."
Summer whimpered like a seriously injured person, her head was groggy, she was holding back her energy to rewind the past, and the proposition was called "what if......
Liu Yun sighed and leaned on the tent: "Let's not talk stupidly, no one is bad, and any of us will lose half our lives if we sacrifice our parents......
Ask yourself, when I first joined the army, I thought this uniform looked good, but now I understand how heavy it is. Can ......"
Liu Yun wanted to say, is it too heavy, so that they can't get out, can't straighten their backs, and want to let go of everything and choose to retreat.
The three of them had already cried until there were no tears, and they clearly understood and accepted Li Tong's departure in their hearts, but they still felt in a trance.
In a trance, I hope that the person who occasionally lectured them with a hippie smile in front of them is still there, and when I close my eyes, I hope that this is a nightmare that I haven't woken up, and Li Tong can still stand in front of them and knock on the rice bowl and shout that it's time for them to get up.
Summer muttered, "Tomorrow is Army Day." ”
"Yes......" Ye Boting felt that from the moment she got off the plane, every moment was very difficult, every day she opened her eyes with sore limbs, and every twenty-four hours made her feel helpless, she had forgotten what night it was.
Army Day? The festival that belongs to them seems to be far away from her.
"Li Tong deserves the honor she deserves. I think she'll be happy. Liu Yun's eyes were filled with tears.
This sentence may be the only thing that can comfort the three sisters at this moment.
In the summer's view, those honors are just a passing moment, and nothing is really good to live for.
But because she knows Li Tong, she has to admit in her heart that the person who often talks about the collective and honor attaches great importance to these.
Li Tong was the only pure idealist among them.
However, this small expectation, the expectation that the hero should be solemnly sent on his last journey, will eventually be disappointed.
Ye Boting said to Liu Yun: "Fortunately, you came in a hurry to meet her......
"Yes! You are all in the disaster area and do not know the outside world. Those of us outside listen to the radio every day to follow the situation in the affected areas. I'll just wait, wait, wait for our regiment commander to give an order, but it's far away.
It was still the localities that temporarily signed up to form an epidemic prevention working group, and I begged our head to let me go, and I signed up.
This working group is mainly selected from the active duty soldiers, advanced educated youth, and militia representatives, and after being selected, they become the staff of the temporary epidemic prevention group. ”
Liu Yun said this, and patted the backpack she brought: "I got out of the car and came to you with these tasks first, and I saw her for the last time...... Is it that if I don't come, there will be no such thing? ”
Whether it is Xia, Ye Boting or Liu Yun, they still don't want to believe it, they have been in a trance since Li Tong left, and they have to take responsibility for everything they say.
A person's sudden departure is not a violent illness or slow aging, but the vivid life that has just stood in front of you, suddenly leaving and disappearing in such a tragic image.
After leaving you a few more words, I will declare that this world no longer exists, so that no one can accept it.
They even struggle with what happened a few hours ago, wishing they could turn back the clock.
Xia asked Liu Yun in a dumb voice: "Then you are out of your post?" ”
Liu Yun replied, "I'm going to wait, wait to see her off for the last time." ”
……
When Dean Qin stood in front of the three people who were babbling and having a nervous breakdown. Together, they ushered in the first of August. It's just that as soon as Dean Qin opened his mouth, he shattered the little hope in their hearts.
"You should know that after the great plague there will be a great plague, and this is the inevitable law of nature. So ......"
The three girls opened their eyes wide in astonishment, and looked at Dean Qin at the same time, and Dean Qin was suddenly speechless.
The first thing to react was not Xia Xia, who had a stronger understanding ability, not Ye Boting, who had a smart mind, but Liu Yun, who came to Tangzhuang with a special task.
Liu Yun looked back at Ye Boting and Xia, with an indissoluble sadness in her eyes, and said in a slightly calm voice:
"Many cases of infectious diseases have been detected in Tangzhuang, and the incidence is increasing day by day. Hehe, we in Tangzhuang. A harsh battle against the plague is about to begin.
What she meant. Our squad leader, our friend Li Tong, had to be buried deep immediately, and there was no ceremony. ”
When Liu Yun turned her head to look at Dean Qin after speaking, her tone was still calm and asked, "Am I right?" That's what you're trying to say? ”
Dean Qin closed his eyes. When he opened it again, he nodded: "Children." Be strong. ”
Ye Boting looked straight ahead with a wry smile: "You might as well give an order directly." Please don't forget that you are soldiers, and sacrifice is a glorious thing. ”
Summer looked up at the sky, and her voice was a little hollow: "Who can remember you." ”
……
in this world. There is always some sadness that will be seared into the bottom of the heart and buried deeply.
There is always some forced growth, inadvertently bending the arms.
There are always some people and things that have to be pretended to be like this, and they will slowly precipitate and forget over the years.
It's just that when I dream back in the middle of the night, I will be awakened by a painful memory, and then I will cry profusely with sweat......
After the earthquake, Tangzhuang is still suffering from large and small aftershocks, mosquito bites, dozens of hours of sleepless search, searching for survivors, and now it is attacked by the plague.
Soldiers are also human beings, and they only have more determination than ordinary people to meet on a narrow road, and the brave wins.
Ye Boxuan was leading more than half of the soldiers of the 142nd Regiment at this time, rushing to the largest frozen warehouse in Tangzhuang at the speed of a rapid march.
At one o'clock in the second half of the night, all the officers and men of the 142nd Regiment received the order of Ye Bo's regiment and stationed tents to rest in place.
Everyone else hurried to rest, and Commander Ye checked the periphery around the snoring of the soldiers before sitting on the ground, smoking a cigarette outside the makeshift tent.
Pei Bing looked at Ye Boxuan's back through the moonlight, and took a flashlight to make a record in his notebook.
Pei Bing only felt that he was going to be exhausted on this day, but in front of Ye Boxuan, he didn't want to see Ye Boxuan's sneering eyes, Ye Boxuan's mockery seemed to say that he was a waste every time he glanced at him, so he had to grit his teeth and persevere.
The skin was already tanned to the point of peeling, not to mention sore limbs, swollen arms, and chapped lips. Sometimes there are symptoms of dizziness and tinnitus from the sun.
Pei Bing wanted to prove that he was a tough guy in front of Ye Boxuan, he was shirtless and covered in mud, and he kept waving his hoe among the soldiers, but after just half a day, he was convinced.
Ye Boxuan is a person, exuding the strength of spreading his wings against the wind, and the whole regiment can fight bravely to the end by his few words, after completing a task, the 142nd regiment is always chasing higher goals under the leadership of Ye Boxuan.
The wonderful clips of the whole regiment full of enthusiasm are like a miracle in Pei Bing's heart, and they use their sweat again and again to dominate the fate of many people who may be missed.
Among the miracles is he, a military newspaper reporter, who is constantly challenging and surpassing himself among the soldiers of the 142nd Regiment.
The 142nd Regiment was busy with the same tasks as other units, but it always exceeded its tasks.
The speed is fast and the efficiency is high, and Pei Bing, who is interviewing in this regiment, feels that he is charging towards victory all the time, and there is no time to take a breath.
Everyone in the regiment, regardless of rank or age, did not complain, and did not ask who knew who understood.
Captain Ye used his strong physique and practical actions to inspire everyone to tell himself that he would fight for the past and stride forward, and the splendid rivers and mountains would eventually be sunny.
The 142nd Regiment was silent, doing the most dangerous work on the front line.
Pei Bing thought, maybe this is the charm that belongs to Ye Boxuan, his selfless and motivated spirit is the shining point of the 142nd Regiment.
The heart of a child is obvious, and at the most dangerous moment, Captain Ye leads by example and is everywhere.
The walkie-talkie in the communication car suddenly sounded in the middle of the night, Pei Bing looked up in astonishment, and looked at Ye Boxuan, who was striding towards the communication car.
Pei Bing was stunned for a minute, quickly put on his coat, and woke up the sleeping Zhai Yuanfang with his hand, and called out to a few little soldiers around him.
As Pei Bing expected, this is a mission, some people have just slept for an hour, and some people, such as Ye Boxuan, have not had time to rest.
The command conveyed on the walkie-talkie means that they have to get up and continue to forge ahead and surpass themselves.
Zhai Yuanfang, who was suddenly called, was startled, sat up, and looked at Pei Bing for a few seconds, only to hear the sound of Ye Boxuan and the communication soldier talking outside, a person who was nearly fifty years old, rushed out with a brisk step.
Pei Bing suddenly felt that he was fragile and sensitive, and he lowered his head and covered his face and pretended that he was not awake, but his nose was actually very sore.
For the 142nd Regiment and for more selfless dedication to the soldiers who are on the front line, ...... for themselves
In order to get closer to the soldiers, Pei Bing was teased for working shirtless, looking white and not tanning, he was not uncomfortable;
The person who doesn't smoke takes the cigarette roll and coughs for a few puffs and is laughed at for a long time, but he doesn't feel anything;
When the house on the other side of the rescue collapsed, and he faced the danger of being smashed at any time and anywhere, he never felt that he would feel sorry for himself if he sacrificed. But he is distressed at the moment, and he feels sorry for the big guy......
"Comrades, there is a large amount of fish rotting in the cracked freezer. Command's order was to thoroughly clear the backlog of fish before dawn. Our task is to rush out all the meat, dig pits and bury the spoiled ones immediately, and distribute them to the masses in good condition and quickly. Did you hear it all? ”
"Hear me clearly!" Every soldier who had just gotten up and hadn't woken up yet looked energetic. It's not that you're not sleepy, it's that you have responsibilities on your shoulders.
Ye Boxuan stood at the front of the team, holding a megaphone in his hand and began to order the deployment: "The political commissar led the first company, the second company, the second battalion and the third battalion of the reconnaissance battalion to the northwest five kilometers away to join the 358th Regiment of Liaoyang. The rest of the comrades came with me. ”
Ye Boxuan and Zhai Yuanfang stood together and instructed:
"Lao Zhai, your task is very difficult. If I'm not mistaken, it's the plague, and you should pay attention to protection when you get there, and try to protect yourself as much as possible. I will contact you as appropriate and try to meet you as soon as possible. ”
Zhai Yuanfang looked at Ye Boxuan's eyes seriously and said, "Don't worry! You are even more precipitous, and you must pay more attention to protection. ”
The 142nd Regiment quickly drew two columns and set off in the early hours of the morning. (To be continued......)
