Chapter 41: Blood and Flowers
As the enemy faded away, I lay down at the bottom of the hill and was stunned for a few minutes, until I couldn't see any more of them, I struggled to sit up, and then plugged in the communication cable of my headset.
I pressed and held the headphones: "That... The enemy didn't seem to notice me. ”
I was a little embarrassed when I said this, and I thought that I would kill myself when the enemy found me, but the guys didn't notice me like a bunch of blind people.
A magpie's voice came from the headphones: "So you're not dead, are you?" Zizizi~I know that you can't die with eight characters~"
The signal from the headphones started to get confused, and I knew it was because it was too far away.
I pulled out the bulletproof plate and looked at the two horrible bullet holes on it, and the whole plate was strong enough to resist these two bullets.
"Yes, I'm not dead, you go first, I'll follow."
"Stinky boy! I have known you for a long time. Zizizi!! The sound of the headphones became chaotic, and I subconsciously patted it and said, "Hey! Can you hear ME? ”
"Yes. . . Zizizi. You're fast. I sighed, it was too far away.
I sat up and rested for a while.
Seeing that there was no one around, I removed the vest, because although the bullet was blocked by the bulletproof plate, I still felt a sharp pain in my chest.
I peeled off my clothes and looked down to see that there were already two places on my chest that were starting to turn purple and become red and swollen.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and after resting in place for half an hour, the strength of my limbs also recovered a lot, I stood up and looked at the direction Yang Yuan and the others left, thinking to myself that I won't climb uphill, just go down this ravine, so that you can hide a little, isn't it.
I stuffed the broken bulletproof plate into my vest.
The moment I stood up, a helicopter roared past me.
I immediately had a cleverness, wait, this kind of propeller frequency, I instantly raised my head, and a black helicopter drove quickly above my head at low altitude, heading in the direction Yang Yuan and they left.
It was very fast, but I still saw that the helicopter was heavily armed, and there was a row of ground-to-ground fire shells hanging underneath.
I tensed up and held down my headphones to see if they could hear me.
"Gunship! Enemy helicopter gunships! ”
If this helicopter encounters Yang Yuan and them, it is tantamount to a massacre on the ground, and Yang Yuan and his party have no means of counterattacking at all.
We don't carry anti-aircraft weapons, and special operations rarely carry anti-aircraft weapons, that's the business of people's air defense brigades, how can we have a few broken guns and a few birdmen and gunships in hard steel?
Encountering helicopter gunships here is tantamount to encountering enemy tanks head-on with millet plus rifles in the early years.
There was no reply in the headset
"Grass!"
I gritted my teeth and walked down the valley.
Many years later, at a psychiatric clinic, I handed over the evaluation report.
The white-haired doctor put on his glasses and looked at it: "Based on your evaluation report, I'm pretty sure you have PTSD." ”
I looked at the doctor in front of me suspiciously, and I didn't quite understand, what is PTSD? I've never heard that term before.
The doctor took off his glasses and looked at me: "It's post-traumatic stress disorder, which is what we often call the aftermath of war." ”
"How to recover?" I asked.
"My advice is to live alone for a period of time, maintain good habits and routines, and try to attract your own attention."
The doctor looked at me suspiciously: "Only come back after peacekeeping abroad?" ”
I nodded: "Well, it's been less than a year since I came back." "Actually, I'm lying, but I can't just say what I'm doing outside, and I've been back here for more than three years.
The doctor nodded and looked at the report: "You said in the assessment that your anxiety and fear are much lighter than before, although it will still affect your life, but this is a good trend,"
I nodded, thinking to myself, yes, it's been more than three years, and no matter what mental illness it is, it should be alleviated.
"In addition, you also mentioned that your girlfriend broke up with you yesterday, and I think this is also a good thing, which will help your condition improve."
I nodded, looked at the pen on the table and the flowers in a bottle, and couldn't help but start to be stunned.
"Did you listen to me, young man?" The doctor waved his hand.
I came back to my senses: "Ah, I'm sorry, I got distracted. ”
The doctor laughed: "Do you do this often?" ”
"Hmm... Occasionally. ”
"It's not a good habit, and it's easy to get distracted."
I nodded, not sure how to answer.
The doctor looked at the flower on the table: "A lot of things can bring up some bad things, I think this flower should be a good thing for you." ”
"You're right," I said, "and I'm suddenly starting to like flowers." ”
The doctor didn't care, and said to himself, "Hmm... I will give you a medical note, you and the unit take leave to rest for a period of time, go back and follow my method to recover, and then come to me a month later. ”
This doctor is a very experienced doctor and was recommended by a friend of mine.
This psychological clinic still has a certain influence in the city, and if you want to see a doctor, you have to make an appointment, but a friend greeted me, and I came here without an appointment.
The doctor prescribed me some anti-anxiety medication and a medical record, and I got up to say thank you and turned to walk out of the clinic.
After leaving the gate, looking at the cars and pedestrians in the streets, I suddenly felt that I was starting to become small, insignificant.
I walked aimlessly down the street with a plastic bag, no one cared or cared.
As I passed by a flower shop down the street, I hesitated, then walked in.
After a while, I found the flower on the doctor's desk, and the clerk told me it was Gentleman's Orchid.
I bought it, and it cost more than three hundred, including potted plants and flowers, but I didn't care.
I can't move it at all if I spend 300 yuan to buy flowers, why is 300 yuan bad, I have to buy flowers?
But today I don't know what's going on, I just want to buy flowers to put at home.
When I got home, I put it on the coffee table, and then leaned back on the sofa and looked at it, I was very happy, I don't know why, I was inexplicably happy...
As I walked along the mountain road, the sun in the sky was hot, and the enemy's assault gun behind me was thrown to the ground, and I walked carefully down the ravine step by step with the pistol with only a few bullets left in my hand.
My eyes kept scanning the road in front of me and the situation behind me, and my nerves didn't dare to relax for a moment.
When I am alone, I have to pay attention to a lot of places, front and back, left and right, including the sky are all places I am vigilant about, and my brain is constantly analyzing, judging, and eliminating.
At the same time, I also began to worry about Yang Yuan, how is they now, we can't get in touch if the distance gets farther and farther away, and I don't know how far the communication distance of this headset is carrying.
They may have been a kilometer away from me, or even farther away.
As I walked, I thought, if I were Yang Yuan and the gunship arrived, what would I do?
If it were me, I would have to keep running, or I would have to hide, and if I couldn't dodge, I would have to wait for death, and I really had nothing else to do.
But Yang Yuan is not me, he will definitely have a way, his brain is better than mine, he will definitely have a way, they will definitely survive.
I walked through a place where weeds were growing, and suddenly I saw a beautiful flower, and I immediately stopped.
The flowers were not far from me, I had never seen them before, they were very beautiful, and I slowly walked over and squatted on the ground.
Seeing the beautiful flowers that can make people relax, and it was true, I looked behind me, and after making sure that no one was there, I reached out and plucked it.
I carefully identified it, it was not the flower of our country, and later I learned that this flower grows at a higher altitude, but I forgot the scientific name, but I didn't know it at that time.
I put it under my nose and smelled it, a faint fragrance, bright and dazzling flowers, and my first thought was, who am I going to give it to, and who am I going to give it to? I didn't know, so I put him in the magazine pouch that I had already empty.
Then I started walking briskly along the road.
In order not to squeeze the flower, I leaked its flowers outside, and when the wind in the mountains suddenly blew, I could smell his fragrance at the same time.
After walking for about an hour, I finally walked out of the ravine, in front of which was a mountain and jungle, I didn't know where it was, I looked at the sparse trees, and immediately judged that this was not the primeval forest on the border.
Not at all, knowing that we are at least thirty or forty kilometers away from the primeval forest on the map, and it will take almost a hundred kilometers to get through the forest to get close to the border.
Everywhere I could see, I could see a car driving in the mountains and woods, and the distance was so far away that I could only see a vague approximation.
As the saying goes, I know very well how far we are.
I crouched on the ground and pressed the headphones: "Anyone?" I'm Xiaochen! Reply received! ”
I sighed as I heard a squeaking current in my headphones.
There are no enemy troops here, and there are no helicopters circling, where have they all gone?
Just as I was hesitating where to go.
"Tututu~~" The gunshot rang out, and the stones around me were hit and sparks, and I immediately pulled out my legs and ran!
I scolded in my heart, it was the enemy, listening to the gunshots, it should be the group of enemies chasing Yang Yuan, didn't you chase Yang Yuan at this time! How to return!
It didn't take long for me to run into the sparse woods, trying to distract the enemy's view.
The gunshots behind him suddenly burst into flames, and the surrounding stones and trees were crackled by countless bullets.
Suddenly my calves went numb and I fell to the ground, and at that moment I tried my best to protect the flower on my chest, so that I fell to the ground in an extremely awkward position, and then I turned over and ran wildly again.
For about ten minutes or so, I crossed a small dirt slope and slowed down until the gunfire behind me died down.
As soon as I relaxed, I felt some pain in my calf, I didn't feel good, and I immediately sat down on the ground.
I saw a bullet pass through the calf from left to right.
Fortunately, it didn't hit the muscles of the calf anymore, but just passed through the side of the calf, and even then the blood flowed all over the trouser leg.
I took out the only remaining bandage from the carrying bag on the right, it was given to me to change the wound myself, and I wrapped the bandage tightly around my calf to keep it from losing too much blood.
After the simple bandage, I leaned against the tree and gasped heavily, I looked at the flower in my vest, reached out and stroked it, I didn't notice the blood sticking to it, I lowered my hand to look at it.
It is the only one that can give me temporary comfort.
