Chapter 407 Go Home! Go home!
After meeting with Wu Tianyou and his entourage, Li Siwei ordered to set up camp, let the exhausted soldiers rest for a night, and let the native doctors brought by Wu Tianyou treat the injured brothers overnight.
After checking the condition of the wounded one by one, the local doctor made a decoction or ointment of the medicinal herbs he brought with him, and then asked the wounded to take or apply ...... Ensign Liu, who was carefully observing from the sidelines, felt that their treatment methods were not much different from traditional Chinese medicine, but those medicinal materials were all unknown to him.
It was so busy that a few native doctors didn't sleep until late at night.
Second Lieutenant Liu still took his group of brothers to guard the wounded and sick brothers, and went to check on their situation from time to time.
"Whew...... ......Shh Call...... Woohoo......"
"Daddy......"
"Mother......
"Go home ......"
The night was deeper, and the snoring mixed with dreams was still gently wafting and wafting around the camp......
"Uh......"
Next to a bonfire, Li Siwei, who was curled up and sleeping under the roots of a tree, suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the dancing flames in front of him in a daze, and gasped for breath, "Whew...... Whoop......"
"Commander,"
Liu Tianfu, who was on duty at night, hurriedly put down the knife and wood in his hand, and came over worriedly, "Have a nightmare again?" ”
"Mosa,"
Li Siwei hurriedly sat up, shook his head gently, reached out to touch the cigarette, and his voice was tired, "Has Second Lieutenant Liu been here?" ”
"Not yet!"
Liu Tianfu shook his head gently, "I saw it once in the past, and he said that he had to wait to see the effect......
"Hmmm......"
Li Siwei took out a cigarette rolled up from leaves and approached the flames, but his eyes looked at Liu Tianfu, "I'll watch, you can sleep first!" ”
"I don't have to do anything,"
Liu Tianfu hurriedly shook his head, sat back again, picked up the knife and continued to cut the wood, "I've already made two, I think it's almost dawn in the future, I'll sleep when the rain comes......"
As soon as the rain came, the team had to choose a place to camp.
"Alright then!"
Li Siwei nodded, stuffed the lit cigarette into his mouth, took two puffs hard, and slowly stood up, "Then you look, I'll go to Ensign Liu's side to see ...... first"
With that, Li Siwei walked straight out of the rain shelter and slowly walked to the northeast corner of the camp, where the wounded and sick were settled.
In the northeast corner of the camp, in a canopy, Second Lieutenant Liu had fallen asleep under the root of a large tree, although his thin face was coated with colorful ointment, it was difficult to hide his deep tiredness, and his nose was accompanied by a dull snoring sound, "Whew...... ......Shh Call...... Woohoo......"
"Uh......"
Suddenly, a weak moan rang in his ears, "Uh...... Water ......"
"Hoo ......"
Second Lieutenant Liu opened his eyes suddenly, and hurriedly followed the voice, and saw that the wounded man lying on the stretcher beside him had opened his eyes slightly, and his chapped lips were trembling slightly, "Water ......"
"Uh......"
Second Lieutenant Liu looked at the wounded man in a daze, a smile slowly bloomed, and he hurriedly touched the kettle placed aside, "Okay!" Good! Water...... The water is coming......"
As he spoke, Second Lieutenant Liu hurriedly pulled out the lid of the kettle, climbed in front of the wounded, gently lifted his head, and brought the spout of the kettle over, but the hand holding the kettle trembled so much that the kettle "boomed ......".
"Ah......h
A brother next to him was awakened, looked over sleepily, and then stood up suddenly, his face full of joy, "Wake up!" Woke up ......"
As he spoke, the brother hurriedly came over and took the kettle, his voice full of joy, "Turtle's ...... I can't imagine that the medical skills of the natives are so effective! ”
"Goo......
Cool boiled water poured into the wounded man's mouth, causing his throat to flutter slightly.
"Goo...... Goo ......"
This is followed by the second and third ...... The faint sound of swallowing sounded in the ears of Second Lieutenant Liu, but it was like a heavenly sound.
The wounded man swallowed three or five mouthfuls with difficulty, then closed his mouth tightly, and closed his eyes with a slight open eye.
Second Lieutenant Liu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly and gently put the wounded's head back, then lowered his head again to listen carefully to his breathing, and only after hearing the subtle breathing sound into his ears did he smile again.
"Liang Dong,"
When Ensign Liu raised his head, his face was already full of joy, and he looked at the brother holding the kettle, and his voice was uplifted, "You take a good look at him, I'll go and see the other brothers......"
As he spoke, Second Lieutenant Liu hurriedly got up, and before he finished speaking, he had already left the rain shelter.
There is hope!
Out of the rain shelter, Second Lieutenant Liu walked briskly to the next rain shelter, his eyes were no longer astringent, and his legs were no longer painful.
"Second Lieutenant Liu,"
At this moment, Li Siwei walked over from the side, and when he saw Second Lieutenant Liu, he gently stopped him, "What's the situation?" ”
"Chief Li?"
Second Lieutenant Liu was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned to look at Li Siwei, his face full of joy, "Okay!" A seriously injured brother had just woken up and drank some water...... I'm going to see the other brothers so I can report back to you! ”
"Awake?"
Hearing this, Li Siwei suddenly perked up, and hurriedly walked over, "Let's go, let's go and have a look!" ”
"Okay!"
Second Lieutenant Liu answered briskly in a brisk voice, and walked to the next shelter first.
Li Siwei hurriedly followed, and only after taking three or five steps, he heard a surprise cry from the rain shelter in front of him, "Quick!" Come and help...... Yang Wuping woke up and wanted to drink water! ”
"To Lao Tzu!"
Hearing that exclamation, Li Siwei's feet suddenly stiffened, and he scolded with relief, "This group of natives really fucking has two brushes......
The so-called "one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people", the natives of the Hukang River Valley can reproduce in such a harsh environment, and they must have their own means of survival!
You've found the right doctor!
The methods of the native doctor worked, and Li Siwei's heart suddenly fell by half.
"Ho ho ...... Ho Ho ......"
As the faint morning light lit up the camp through the thick foliage, piles of firewood were burning brightly, and the dancing flames were devouring the remains, screaming with joy.
The soldiers stood solemnly around the bonfires, staring closely at the remains that had been swallowed by the flames, their eyes full of sadness.
As the flames gradually extinguished, the smoke slowly cleared, and the bones remaining in the ashes were carefully gathered into the urns that the soldiers had made overnight.
The 139 bodies that were brought back from the low ridge where the wounded were trapped, plus the 13 brothers who died one after another on the way back to the north, eventually became 151 small urns...... Of the three hundred and eight brothers who had gone before, only one hundred and fifty-seven had survived.
Looking at the urns hanging on his chest by his brothers, Li Siwei's heart was silently dripping blood!
"Go home!"
Suddenly, Li Siwei's voice rang out, resounding through the camp, "Go home!" Go home...... Go home now! ”
What savage mountain, what India...... Lao Tzu is not going! I'm not going!
"Go home! ...... home."
The soldiers suddenly agreed, shaking the dense forest.
Several native doctors watched from afar, and although they couldn't understand the Chinese, they also roared excitedly, "Return...... Family...... ...... home."
The brothers' injuries and conditions were temporarily controlled, but who knows how long they could be controlled?
Li Siwei hurriedly returned to the camp in the north with his team, joined the soldiers who stayed behind, and then led his troops to continue north, preparing to return to western Yunnan over the heavy mountains in the north.
It's time to return home!
I'm going back home!
The soldiers hunted and gathered all the way, full of energy!
However, the local doctors are becoming more and more hesitant.
Their home is on the banks of the Hukang River, in the west!
The rain was still falling intermittently in northern Burma, and the 66th Regiment was not moving very fast, but in five or six days it had entered the mountainous areas of the northern Daro Basin.
"Bang bang bang...... Crash...... Whoa......"
The rain began to fall again, and the soldiers had to hurriedly set up camp.
"Commander,"
In the rain shelter where the temporary regiment headquarters was located, Li Siwei had just lit a cigarette when he saw Wu Tianyou hurriedly walking in, looking hesitant, "Hmm...... Those native doctors...... Would like to go home......"
"Home?"
Li Siwei was stunned and frowned, "This ......"
"Commander,"
Chen Huaili hurriedly dissuaded, "Don't let them go......"
"That's right!"
Zheng Sanyang hurriedly echoed, "The road ahead is still far away, and there is no ...... for them."
"Alas!"
Li Siwei waved his hand gently, "They have already helped us so much, if we ...... ...... them like that."
As he spoke, Li Siwei turned his head to look at Liu Tianfu, "Tianfu, go and call Doctor Wu and Second Lieutenant Liu!" ”
"Yes!"
Liu Tianfu hurriedly agreed and hurried away.
"Commander,"
Seeing this, Chen Huaili and Zheng Sanyang were a little anxious, "I really can't let them go!" ”
"Three sheep, Huaili,"
Li Siwei's gaze slowly swept over the two of them, and he sighed softly, "Have you had nightmares lately?" Anyway, I'll do it as soon as I close my eyes! ”
As he spoke, Li Siwei's voice became trance-like, "In the dream, Rou'er is gone, Qiansheng is gone, and An An is also gone...... I can't even pull it! ”
Zheng Sanyang and Chen Huaili were stunned, speechless, and their expressions were silent.
Saying that, Li Siwei sighed leisurely, "Every time I wake up from a dream, I hear my brothers talking in their dreams...... That voice made Lao Tzu feel sad! They all want to go home! However, if we want to go home, why don't those native doctors? ”
"yes!"
Wu Tianyou's eyes were a little red, and he gently agreed, "Just now, they all came to me one by one, crying and kneeling for me...... Alas! Looking at ...... It's very pitiful! ”
"Alas......"
Zheng Sanyang and Chen Huaili sighed in unison, but they couldn't say anything against it.
"So be it!"
The fireworks in Li Siwei's mouth were clearly extinguished, and the smoke rose from the curling smoke, "Ruolan and Second Lieutenant Liu have also studied with them for five or six days, if they can take care of those injured brothers independently, I will let those native doctors go...... How? ”
"This ......"
Zheng Sanyang and Chen Huaili nodded hesitantly, "It's okay!" ”
Wu Tianyou, who was on the side, also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly echoed with a smile, "In the past few days, those local doctors have worked very hard and collected a lot of medicinal materials to prepare!" ”
"Commander,"
As soon as Wu Tianyou's words fell, Liu Tianfu's voice sounded outside the rain shelter, "Doctor Wu and Second Lieutenant Liu have arrived!" ”
"Commander......"
The voices of Wu Ruolan and Second Lieutenant Liu immediately sounded, and they came in behind Liu Tianfu, "What are you looking for?" ”
"Come here,"
Li Siwei hurriedly beckoned the two of them to the front, "That's the case...... We're already in the mountains, if all goes well...... It won't be long before they can return home, but the native doctors also want to go home, and their home is in the west...... So, I want to ask you, if you let them go, will you be able to take care of your injured brothers? ”
"Uh......"
The two of them hesitated for a moment, and then both nodded, "After watching these days, we have already understood...... It's okay to let them go! ”
"That's good!"
Li Siwei perked up and looked at Wu Tianyou, "Tianyou, it's better for you and Brother Fucha to take someone to send them back...... We'll stay here for a few days, get some food and herbs, and wait for you to come back! ”
"Yes!"
Wu Tianyou hurriedly agreed, and finally asked hesitantly, "You...... Don't see them? ”
"Uh......"
Li Siwei was stunned and nodded slightly, "When they leave, I'll go back and see them off!" ”
As he spoke, Li Siwei turned his head to look at Liu Tianfu, "Tianfu, go and call Heishui to come over...... People have helped us so much, we can't let people work in vain! ”
I can go home!
When the local doctors got the news, they were naturally in high spirits, and by the way, they were much more enthusiastic about the brothers who had been helping them.
Although the brothers did not understand what they were saying, they also understood that they were confessing about the sick of the wounded.
There was no word all night, and when the faint morning light illuminated the dense forest, Fucha Morgen and Wu Tianyou were already ready to go with the brothers of the direct company.
Li Siwei came in a hurry, and Liu Tianfu behind him was carrying a cloth bag, looking a little heavy.
"Commander......"
Seeing Li Siwei coming, Fucha Morgen and Wu Tianyou hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Fucha, God bless!"
Li Siwei looked at them deeply, "Go and go back quickly, my brothers and I are waiting for you here!" ”
"Yes!"
The two solemnly agreed.
"Good!"
Li Siwei smiled and nodded, and continued to walk towards a native doctor, smiling gently.
Along the way, although the number of meetings between the local doctors and Li Siwei was not much, they also knew that he was a big official, and hurriedly squeezed out a respectful smile.
"I ......"
Li Siwei walked closer, his eyes slowly swept over the group of native doctors, and patted his chest with a "bang", "Li Siwei...... Thank you! ”
After that, Li Siwei put his legs together and saluted the local doctors, "Thank you for everything you have done for our department!" ”
"Uh......"
A group of native doctors looked at Li Siwei in a daze.
"Smack......
Suddenly, a native doctor returned a military salute to Li Siwei, although his posture was a little awkward, his face was solemn, "Whoa......
As he spoke, he put down his hand and patted his chest with a "bang" like Li Siwei, "Sleepy Sang Dong Hong!" ”
"Sleepy Sang Dong Hong?"
Li Siwei read it softly, and smiled kindly at the native doctor who spoke, "I remember your name!" ”
As he spoke, Li Siwei looked back at Liu Tianfu who came over, "Tianfu, give them the things!" ”
"Okay!"
Liu Tianfu agreed, hurriedly put down the big cloth bags, took out small cloth bags from them and distributed them one by one.
After taking the heavy little cloth bag, all the local doctors were a little surprised...... Rewarded? Is this the reward for their healing?
"Uh......"
Sleepy Sang Dong Hong looked at Li Siwei hesitantly, and gently handed the cloth bag back, "Jili Wow ......" said something, looking a little excited.
"Uh......"
Li Siwei looked at him with a puzzled face.
"Bang Bang ......"
Sleepy Sang Dong Hong suddenly stuffed the bag into Li Siwei's hand, patted his chest, and then pointed at Li Siwei again, smiling vigorously.
Li Siwei still couldn't understand what he wanted to express, but he saw a bit of friendliness in that smile, so he stretched out his hand with a smile, grabbed the hand of sleepy Sang Donghong and shook it vigorously, "Friend......"
