Chapter 49: Sad Little Rain
The two walked out of the operating room door one after the other, and Hu Yu stood at the door with a smile. Xiaoyu's body was tired, and his eyes were a little dizzy when he was illuminated by the strong light of the sun outside, and he couldn't help but help his hand to help down the threshold. Hu Yu ran twice to support Xiaoyu, as if to the eldest sister, and as if to say to Xiaoyu: "Look at it, look at it, I have repeatedly said that you can work better by resting well." Young comrades are like this, they can't eat and drink when they work, and their bodies can't bear it, right? I haven't seen it for a few days, I've lost weight, and my body is thinner. How can young people do without older comrades to take care of? ”
Hu Yu made a pun in his speech, and the eldest sister seemed to hear something, Xiaoyu's brain was now full of looking for someone, and she didn't think about what he meant.
It turned out that after the signing of the Korean cease-fire agreement came into effect, in order to show sincerity and reduce unnecessary friction, the troops of both sides withdrew in an orderly manner. The Chinese side was ordered by Commander Peng Dehuai, and the troops immediately withdrew!
The retreat at the end of the war was the easiest job for every commander. Unlike pre-war preparations, he had to consider the transportation of soldiers, ammunition reserves, food and vegetable preparations, and so on.
Hu Yu's biggest entanglement now is on Xiaoyu. Since he fell in love with Xiaoyu, he wanted to marry her home from the bottom of his heart, and he also decided that Xiaoyu was his daughter-in-law in this life. But he flattered her and made it easier for her to find Liang Guocheng. Although this is the only way to curry favor with Xiaoyu in North Korea, he also scolded himself behind his back afterwards for being stupid, the biggest fool in the world!
Because he knows very well in his heart that once he finds Liang Guocheng, with his tall and burly figure and white and handsome face, he cannot be compared. Although he also found a lot of reasons for himself to compete fairly with Liang Guocheng, but when he looked at himself in the mirror, he found that he was obviously old on the dark eyelids, and his not tall figure was a little tuo, although he never thought it was a tuo, but this was also a fact that could not be concealed.
He had never been interested in that woman before, he had never looked in the mirror, and he had never evaluated himself, and now there was no comparison except for being a military commander. His biggest entanglement now is to return to China, so many young and handsome young men surrounding her, he will not have any chance at all. Therefore, he was worried that he would miss the opportunity, so he had to go down to the army early in the morning to see Xiaoyu, for fear that it would be too abrupt and cause Xiaoyu's disgust, so he went to the hospital to pick up the dean's eldest sister at the first stop. The eldest sister also happened to want to know about Xiaoyu, so she took a jeep to the hospital.
Hu Yu thought about a lot of words along the way, and swallowed back when he saw Xiao Yumian. I haven't slept for almost two days, Xiaoyu's pale face is pale yellow, her eyes are a little swollen after crying, and her thin lips are not bloodshot, and she looks more like she has just recovered from a serious illness. Hu Yu pities the jade, although he doesn't know the result of courtship, at least he shouldn't add blockage to the heart of the person he loves now.
He staggered out of the yard with Xiaoyu in tow. The road outside was already full of traffic, the road was not wide, the car in the middle was pulling cannons, and the infantry on both sides of the road lined up in a long snake-like line, bustling with shouting mixed with the relaxed laughter of the soldiers. The three of them were infected by the sight in front of them, and looked greedily at the slow Xiaoyu with a smile on their faces.
"It's good to have peace!" These words can only be truly realized after the loss of relatives in the war.
"It feels better to come home!" The eldest sister also sighed.
Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the ranks stopped, and the fighters stopped fighting and became serious. Responsibility prompted Hu Yu to walk quickly towards the road, and Xiaoyu and the eldest sister followed from behind. There was a battalion commander who knew Hu Yu, and Hu Yu asked, "What happened?" ”
The battalion commander said: "The soldiers who cleaned the battlefield found the last group of soldiers who sacrificed, and they must go over first." ”
The road, which had been noisy just a moment ago, immediately quieted down, and the stretcher team carrying the sacrificed soldiers passed through the middle of the road, and the soldiers saluted and watched at the same time. Hu Yu stood in the middle of the road with a heavy face, and the stretcher captain walked in front, saluted Hu Yu and waved his hand to signal the stretcher to stop. He walked over to the stretcher and uncovered the quilt covering the warrior. The soldier had been shot multiple times in the chest, and the bullet had made several holes in the chest, and the blood had solidified with his clothes.
As if he was afraid of alarming the deceased, he lightly covered the soldiers with a quilt, pressed the quilt again, looked up at the sky and said indignantly: "If the armistice agreement had been signed a few hours earlier, they would not have paid the price of their lives!" Xiaoyu couldn't help it, and wanted to lift the lid to see the face of the sacrificial battlefield, Hu Yu understood that her mood was holding her.
Asked the stretcher captain: "Have the identities of the comrades who died have been confirmed?" ”
The captain nodded and replied, "It's all confirmed!" ”
Hu Yu asked again: "Is there one named Liang Guocheng?" ”
When the commander asked, the stretcher captain certainly paid attention. He took out the roster from his satchel, looked at it side by side, and replied, "No!" ”
Hu Yu asked the stretcher captain, holding Xiaoyu's arm all the time. Xiaoyu was pinched by him, and she struggled hard for a few times and didn't break free. And Hu Yu grabbed her hand, indeed out of love for her, and also to let her listen to him and the stretcher captain's questioning.
Hu Yu let go of Xiaoyu's hand, looked at Xiaoyu with smug eyes, and said: "You don't need to look at the corpses one by one, there is nothing that my old Hu can't do." “
Xiaoyu rubbed his wrist that was hurt by Hu Yu, listened to Hu Yu's conversation with the stretcher captain, and slowly loosened his heart like a cat scratching. Because they saw the troops retreating, it was only a matter of time before they retreated from the hospital. If he is no longer found now, or if he is injured and left alone somewhere, without a doctor to treat him, he may never return to the team, and she can be lost forever.
Xiaoyu has now made the worst plan in her heart, "I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death!" "When I return to China in the future, I will always have an explanation for myself and Liang Guocheng's parents. Although she thought so in her heart, when the stretcher carrying the sacrificed soldier came to her, she wanted to come forward to identify the body. She immediately felt that her steps were heavy, and her heart trembled slightly, as if she had been stabbed and bleeding.
Hu Yu dragged her just now, and she also heard the result, the last sacrifice of the soldier was not him, which means that he is still alive, where did he go if he didn't return alive? She had a sour feeling in her heart, and her tears could only be swallowed in her stomach.
After the stretcher team, normal order was restored on the road. Trucks pass by, and the tires of the cars roll up sharp soil to cover the sky. Hu Yu took her eldest sister Xiaoyu to stand under the road. The car stopped, and Commander Li of the artillery regiment saw Hu Yu jump out of the car. He came over to say hello with joy, but he hesitated when he saw Xiaoyu standing beside Hu Yu.
Xiao Yu waited for Liang Guocheng in his artillery regiment for three days before he was picked up by Xiao Li. Scout Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang returned, and in the report he learned that Liang Guo had become a cover, and they were seriously wounded and at risk of being captured by the enemy. Although he felt sorry, this kind of thing was too common during the war years. Especially the scouts, after a few days because they were busy with work, they slowly forgot about it.
Now that he sees Xiaoyu again, and he is with the commander again, it reminds him of the unpleasantness with Xiaoyu, probably because of his disobedience to orders, he doesn't like Xiaoyu very much. What he hesitated was that the army commander was with her, he must be looking for Liang Guocheng again, he now knows his news, should he tell it, if he tells it, how to tell it?
Hu Yu was of course happy to see the old subordinates, and greeted him with a big mouth and a smile. Seeing his hesitation, he punched him in the shoulder: "The war is stopped, everyone is happy to go home." Is there anything you can't think about and don't want to go home? ”
Hu Yu, who was dragged by Captain Li, avoided Xiaoyu and whispered to him that Liang Guocheng was seriously injured and his life and death were unknown. In the end, there were no corpses on the battlefield, and it is estimated that there is a high probability of being captured. When Hu Yu heard this sudden news, he felt a little sad in his heart. Although he also thought that Liang Guocheng was injured or died in battle, it was just a flash in his mind, and reason soon took over. As the supreme leader of the army, he must have a certain personality charm!
He will never affect the troops because of any of his personal actions; Even if it's a soldier who curses his own troops. Now the question is whether to tell Xiaoyu, although he seems to be helping Xiaoyu find someone, in fact, he has emotionally identified Xiaoyu as his person, and looking for someone is actually to please Xiaoyu. Now that Liang Guocheng is injured and missing, he feels that he is one step closer to her emotionally, and he hurts Xiaoyu even more in his heart, worried that she can't bear it if she knows the truth!
A female nurse jumped over and gasped: "It's time to go home, the division headquarters has notified us to return to the team!" ”
There are strict procedures for the troops to give orders. They are now in the regimental hospital, and the order is, of course, given by the division headquarters.
Hu Yu came over and said to the nurse, "Tell you the dean, I'm also going to return to the team, and I'll take Dr. Xiaoyu back." ”
Only then did the little nurse notice the commander, stuck out her tongue, turned her head and ran back.
Hu Yu explained: "After the troops withdrew, the front became a military restricted area. We are soldiers and should not go over. ”
Xiaoyu nodded in understanding, and couldn't help tears welling up in her eyes again. In other words, from today onwards, there will be no Chinese and North Korean soldiers inside, and if Liang Guocheng is injured inside, he will no longer be rescued, and the hope of life is too slim.
Xiaoyu refused to take Hu Yu's car back to the Military Hospital, and ran back to the regimental hospital like crazy. He picked up the basket used by the North Korean villagers for farming, filled a basket full of white ash for sterilization in the hospital, and rushed to a large empty piece next to the highway. The doctors and nurses in the hospital were all tidying up their things, watching Xiaoyu, who was usually quiet, do something that everyone didn't understand, and they all stopped what they were doing and stared at her. No one expected that she would use white ash to sprinkle words that are larger than the people, "Liang Guocheng, come back quickly!" When the last word came out, the eldest sister burst into tears. She was moved by Xiaoyu's stubborn character, and also shed tears for her failed emotions.
The eldest sister looked at Xiaoyu's almost crazy actions, and there was no danger. Feeling that it may also allow her to vent is the best psychological treatment. Turned around and got into Hu Yu's jeep and drove towards the military hospital with a bump. On the way, Hu Yu told the eldest sister that Liang Guocheng was seriously injured, but he couldn't be sure whether he was sacrificed or captured.
The last thing the eldest sister wants to hear is uncertainty, her lover back then was because he was uncertain about life and death, and he waited for nearly twenty years with hope. changed her from a little girl who was not involved in current affairs to a gray-haired half-aged now. Now that she is older, she really feels that hope is actually a virtual thing, turning a real living person into something that people can never see or touch.
She doesn't want Xiaoyu to repeat her mistakes, she wants to tell Xiaoyu the real situation, and she can't let her live in vanity of hope like her. Of course, she also persuaded Xiaoyu with the thinking of people who came over, and the real idea was to take it herself. She knows that women are more persistent when it comes to emotional issues. After all, there were two people who saw Liang Guocheng injured with their own eyes, but they didn't see him sacrificed.
Hu Yu discussed with the eldest sister, and the eldest sister told Xiaoyu the truth at the appropriate time.
The signing of the armistice agreement and the withdrawal of troops from the combat area are a great good thing for every officer and soldier who goes abroad to participate in the war. The closer Hu Yu, who loves Xiaoyu, is closer to retreating, the more pressure he feels. He originally wanted to confess to Xiaoyu today, and thought of a statement on the way here. really saw Xiaoyu, and encountered so many things, so that he couldn't and didn't have the opportunity to talk about it.
Although now that she knows Liang Guocheng's situation, the eldest sister thinks that it is better to tell Xiaoyu and give him a new opportunity, but the implicit Chinese nature is dominated by the body and does not want to take advantage of the danger of others. He wanted to wait for the eldest sister to tell Xiaoyu the bad news, and wait for her heart to slowly calm down, and give up Liang Guocheng to work hard!
