Chapter 47: Disappointment
When his head emerged from the ravine, he was out of breath, exhausted, and no longer had the strength to climb forward. The old tree is more than ten meters in front, and the mountains are undulating like hills, and the local villagers plant corn in small patches and small pieces according to the natural undulating ground. Apparently it had already been harvested, and most of the orange stalks had been stepped on, and the few that had not been stepped on had broken off their sticks. With such a large area of crops, there must be villages nearby, and if there are villages, there are naturally Korean villagers.
He rested for a while and quickly climbed under the tree. The big tree poles in the north have yin and yang sides, the east sun shines for a long time is yang, and the west sun shines for a short time is yin, because the tree poles are wet and difficult to distinguish because of the heavy rain yesterday. In addition, it is necessary to look at the big tree as a whole, now several trees grow together, in order to compete for the sun, the tree pole will be tilted to the east, and the branches in the east are more dense than those in the west, as long as you can find the east side in all four directions.
It's just that the biggest regret is that I can't go down to the field to look for corn, yesterday's rain soaked the field, the field is all muddy, normal people can't go down, and he can only climb. Crawling and walking is not always a way, not to mention that there is still a long road, standing and walking three steps can not climb a step, when can you climb home! He wanted to find a crutch, subconsciously; One should walk standing up.
He found a wooden stick with a fork head, but the curve was too thick and too long to walk. The most suitable is the one that Company Commander Zhang got for him, there is a fork in front of him just on the arm socket, and he can put his whole body weight on the crutches when he walks, so that every two steps is equal to the strength of one step! But this wood is thick, he can walk and overcome it with his arms, and there is no way to do it if it is too long. I really couldn't find anything more suitable on the scene, and crawling and walking was not a solution. He thought of burning it with fire, but the grass was wet after the rain, and something had to be lit to dry it.
He thought of the old military uniform in his sleeping bag, and he had been a little reluctant to wear it in the morning. He weighed the pros and cons and took out all the old clothes, picked them one by one, and finally picked the one he thought was broken. First I found a corn stalk to make a fire rack, then found a tree branch to build a layer, and finally took a lighter and stuffed my clothes into it. Before the fire was ignited, black smoke suddenly came out first, and made him look big. The cloudy weather when the rain had just stopped was low, and the black smoke could not be dispersed for half a day overhead, and he couldn't breathe out of a tight cough when he choked.
He put his head as close to the pile as he could, blowing hard, and the fire finally started slowly. He put the sticks that were ready to be used for crutches into the fire, and the man tried to get as close as possible to the fire to drive away the cold from his body, and the smoke that came out of his face blackened even more. He kept staring at the crutch, this was his other leg, and he couldn't let the burn be shortened.
Try the length of each burn, the front is long and the back is not on fire, and the wood is too hot to support the weight of his body. The crutches were burned for a long time, and it was quite appropriate to walk under the armpits. Now that I have a crutch and I have figured out the direction, the only regret is that I haven't found anything to eat. He strapped his sleeping bag to his back in his old military uniform, extinguished the fire, and really took his first steps in the direction of home.
Things are often easier said than done. The main thing to crawl and walk is to exert two arms, and the legs are auxiliary to stare and stare together, and the wounds on the body do not feel too painful. Now on crutches, one leg can't stand at all, and the weight of the whole body is pressed up with every step, which is equivalent to the whole body exerting strength, and all the wounds on the back, waist, legs, and head are like torn pain. After a few steps forward, I was already sweating profusely and soaking through my clothes. He stood and gasped for breath, looking up to see that the clouds were cracked in the sky, and the sky seemed to be about to open. He must not stop, and stopping is a dead end. You have to go forward, take one more step closer to home, and then you can find a North Korean village and have something to eat. He didn't know that there were even greater difficulties waiting for him after finding his fellow North Korean.
Xiaoyu stayed at the artillery regimental headquarters for three days. Every day from sunrise to sunset, he stood on his way back. This is the unit he is in, and she subconsciously feels that Liang Guocheng knows that she has come to the army, and he is rushing back day and night, and she has a feeling in her heart that he is about to come to him. Every time she saw someone who was about the same size as Liang Guocheng, she always felt that Liang Guocheng always ran over at the fastest speed, and then walked back disappointed.
The soldiers standing guard around him all cast unusual glances, and he himself was embarrassed to smile with them, but he turned his eyelids and shed tears of grievance.
When he first came to the artillery regiment, Regiment Commander Li personally said that it had been two or three days, but now it has been the third day and there is no trace. The artillery regiment received an order to open today, and there may be another battle, and it is impossible for the troops to leave her as a female soldier here. Doctors are needed to fight wars, and she should return to her post. Hu Yu's guard Xiao Li came to pick her up, Xiao Li had followed Hu Yu for many years, and could understand his meaning from his speech and demeanor.
Hearing the familiar sound of the jeep engine, Regiment Commander Li thought that the army commander was coming and hurriedly came out to greet him. Open the car door and jump out of the car with a grinning little Li.
Xiao Li saluted Commander Li, pointed at Xiao Yu with his finger and said, "The army commander asked me to pick her up." ”
Head Li smiled knowingly, and let out a long sigh of relief, revealing a sense of relief. Since Commander Hu personally sent her here, it shows that their relationship is not ordinary, that is, he handed over the security issue to him Lao Li. Combat units are on the front lines with both temporary recuperation and absolute security. In addition to the casualties caused by the other party or his own people, he didn't want to be scolded by Hu Yu because of the accidental casualties of a little female doctor. So he specially arranged for two Wow fighters to follow Xiaoyu and strictly prescribed her route. At first, Xiaoyute was disgusted that someone was following him and asked for a theory from Head Li. Head Li didn't want to offend Xiaoyu, let alone Hu Yu. Weighing the pros and cons, he felt that as long as Xiaoyu lived, no one could offend the point of his words.
Head Li looked impatient and said to Xiaoyu: "This is the rule, everyone must obey the rule." ”
Xiaoyu did not show weakness and said, "I am not a prisoner, why did you send someone to follow me?" ”
A little female doctor dared to talk to him like this, and the head of the Li regiment blew his beard angrily and glared, and said: "If you quarrel here again, believe it or not, send someone back to the military headquarters immediately!" ”
Xiaoyu held back the words that came to her mouth, angry tears swirling in her eyes, and she endured it so that she didn't let it flow. Rude, uneducated, and warlord-like, this is her opinion of Commander Li. In fact, since joining the army, she has not been in contact with the commanders of combat units, especially middle- and lower-ranking officers, and if each unit is carefully observed, the style of the unit is different, and this mostly depends on the personality of the commander.
Commander Li is a careful person, and the person who was personally brought over by the army commander at the beginning should be the reserve wife he fancies. Although it seems to be too young, it is a time of war, and unexpected things happen from time to time. If that's the case, no matter how young Xiao Yu is, he is also his sister-in-law! He doesn't want to offend the wife of the top boss, in the future, they will be peaceful and work together and have more contact, offend her, women are vindictive, the nose is not the nose, the face is not the face, and you will be embarrassed.
He takes special care of her in life, all with the meaning of flattering. Since knowing that Liang Guocheng is her lover, his attitude towards her has changed radically. Only then did a soldier follow her, and she was unpleasant to find Commander Li's theory!
Li walked up to Xiaoyu, saluted the military salute and said with a hippie smile: "Chief doctor, the military commander asked me to pick you up and return to the team!" ”
For the first time since Xiaoyu joined the army, someone called the chief, and he was very happy, and he felt embarrassed, and said, "Don't call me chief, call me doctor." ”
Because he had quarreled with Commander Li, he only nodded to him and didn't want to talk to him, so he looked at the way Liang Guocheng might be walking back, and got into the jeep very disappointed.
The jeep drove all the way to the entrance of the hospital when it was almost dark. Xiao Li got out of the car first, helped her open the car door, and comforted her: "Don't worry! The chief said that he will continue to help you find it. ”
Xiaoyu got out of the car and thanked him with a smile that was more ugly than crying. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, ran to the dormitory where he lived in a few steps, almost slammed the door open, and cried loudly on the bed. The director of the hospital was a skilled and veteran of the Red Army, and he was chatting with a few doctors and nurses after dinner. was startled by her suddenly slamming open the door and lying on the bed crying, everyone looked at each other and didn't know who it was, and they didn't know what was going on.
is still the eldest sister of the old dean, turned on the lantern, pushed her eyes like soy sauce bottles, and carried the lantern to see that it was light rain in front of her. Xiaoyu and the eldest sister of the old dean have not been together for a long time, and they feel that the old dean is a trustworthy elder. Told her eldest sister about pouring beans from her bamboo tube, probably because of fate, and the big group also likes this beautiful little sister very much!
Although he has never been married for life, he encourages Xiaoyu to abandon the world and boldly pursue true love! Xiaoyu could hear from her speech that she had mistaken a relationship because of the war. The eldest sister even joked that she was willing to take Xiaoyu with her children in the future. The eldest sister of the dean comforted Xiaoyu like a mother, and she told the eldest sister about the situation of looking for Liang Guocheng in the past few days and sobbing intermittently. The eldest sister is a person who has been through countless battles and knows the fragility of a life on the battlefield. While accompanying her to tears, she comforted Xiaoyu. She slowly stopped sobbing and fell asleep.
