Chapter 42: Conspiracy
saw Liang Guocheng wake up. Li Ahan smiled and stretched out his dry hand and said, "Meet me, my name is Li Ashan." ”
Liang Guocheng had just woken up, and he was anxious to see Company Commander Zhang, trying to find out who was in front of him and how he came to their prison? Why take care of him? Only Company Commander Zhang's words did he believe it. Although he was grateful to Li Ahan for waking him up, he didn't want to believe them from the bottom of his heart. He stretched out his hand and shook it with him, and said lightly, "Liang Guocheng." ”
Li Ahsan shook hands with Liang Guocheng and obviously felt that he had a high fever. Asked, "Do you know you have a fever?" ”
Liang Guocheng nodded and said, "I know, I've been having a fever for the past few days." ”
Li Ahsan vs. Liang Guocheng; It's more like shouting to the whole prison cell: "Comrades, comrades! Our comrade-in-arms, Comrade Liang Guocheng, is now suffering from inflammation in his wound and a high fever. Although we are prisoners of war, we have laid down our arms and deserve the basic rights of human beings. There are so many of us, is there no one who wants to lead everyone in the struggle for power? ”
He seems to have memorized his lines, and his speech is not leaky. These words were the most obedient words of the prisoners of war, and the prisoners of war did not dare to hope for freedom in the prisoner of war camps, and they all hoped to receive a minimum of respect and human dignity. In addition to the problems of life, don't work like a rabbit every day.
Company Commander Zhang said: "We won the hunger strike yesterday, and they agreed to our conditions. ”
Li Ahan spread his hands and said, "You said that you have won, and your comrade-in-arms has a high fever, what about the doctor?" ”
He looked displeased, tilted his head and walked out of the cell, and in a short time he brought the doctor into the cell. The doctor treated Liang Guocheng, and he looked around the prison and saw that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes. Li Ahan was secretly happy in his heart, this kind of vision was the first step for everyone to recognize him. After the doctor left, he had to change sleeping positions with Company Commander Zhang, and promised that Liang Guocheng would be taken care of by him in the future. Liang Guocheng was interrogated and beaten twice by the guards, and since he was beaten, he must have not leaked the secrets of the army, and everyone sincerely respected. Now that Li Ahshan has a good impression of him by virtue of his appearance tonight, he took the initiative to take care of Liang Guocheng, in exchange for everyone's trust in him. Because the cells were surrounded by people sleeping against the walls, the new prisoners of war had to sleep in two rows in the middle of the room. Li Ahan did not agree with Company Commander Zhang, so he moved Company Commander Zhang's things and moved his own things to Liang Guocheng. Company Commander Zhang looked unhappy, and originally wanted to stop Li Ashan. Seeing that a few old prisoners of war took the initiative to help Li Ahan move things, this was the recognition of Li Ahsan, maybe everyone felt that Li Ahshan could take better care of Liang Guocheng, so he didn't stop thinking like this. Li Ashan took good care of Liang Guocheng, taking medicine, eating, washing his eyelids and feet before going to bed, and the prisoners of war saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, and they were more grateful, and it also shortened the distance between the old and new prisoners of war. Company Commander Zhang is different from ordinary soldiers, he has the professional sensitivity of cadres, and he always feels that they are a little overzealous as if they are cheating, and they can't see anything on the surface. He patted his head vigorously, thinking that he might be allergic; Spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Judging from the current situation, Li Ahsan is indeed more careful than he takes care of.
Liang Guocheng took medicine and quickly got rid of his fever. Li Ahsan took care of him to the extreme this night. As if he hadn't slept all night, he got up countless times a night to ask for warmth, medicine and water. Although he was injured, he was embarrassed for a big man to call someone a waiter like this!
After working on the construction site for two days, they were even more active and enthusiastic, never distinguishing between the people in the prison unit, no matter who had difficulties or could not lift, they all took the initiative to help, and even gave their own lunch to those pot-bellied men who could not eat their own share. In just a few days, they became famous like stars in the prisoner of war camp, especially Li Ahsan, who had a lot of followers. Li Ahsan was all-encompassing in the prisoner of war camp, and when he was sick, he found a doctor; If there is a problem with the meal, he will find a cook; was treated unfairly, and there seemed to be nothing he couldn't do to find a guard to judge. Liang Guocheng and Company Commander Zhang led all the prisoners of war on a hunger strike to fight for nothing, and now he has to negotiate with the guards for everything. No matter where Li Ahshan goes, there are always people by his side, and he seems to have become the backbone of everyone. The prestige that Liang Guocheng and Zhang Company Commander built up through the struggle seemed to be suddenly gone! Li Ahan has more connections, and he did not give up taking care of Liang Guocheng, but took care of him more intimately day after day. In fact, Li Ahan and more than a dozen other new prisoners of war arrived, and everyone centered on him, which reduced the mutual suspicion among the prisoners of war, and on the surface they were much more united than in the past. After he finished work every day, he greeted Liang Guocheng for dinner, and he always sat on the ground before the lights were turned off, and everyone was happy to chat with him. Language is the window of communication between people, the more you chat, the more people trust him, and naturally there are no secrets; Even told him about the birth of his own family. In fact, the soldiers themselves knew very little about the situation in the troops, and there was no valuable information from them. Even a junior officer like Company Commander Zhang is not of high value to the enemy. An experienced battlefield commander can judge the weapon ration of a company-level unit by listening to the sound of gunshots, so Company Commander Zhang was not forced to confess. Like Liang Guocheng, a regimental staff officer, what in his mouth is relatively valuable; Because he was able to support the personnel and weapons of a regiment, especially for him at that time, the artillery of the Volunteer Army was a weapon of heavy destruction. Liang Guocheng and Company Commander Zhang are also grateful to Li Ashan, and Company Commander Zhang is from the perspective of the highest commander of this prison cell, and he is grateful for taking care of the wounded and sick wholeheartedly, and caring for his comrades-in-arms; He felt that all these things should be done by him, the company commander, in this prison cell. Liang Guocheng's gratitude to him stems from Li Ashan's care for him, in addition to taking care of him; The mother-like delicacy and fatherly love that he has never felt since he went abroad and entered the dynasty made him feel as if he had returned to his parents. They also told him their messages in the chat. Liang Guocheng wanted to tell Po Ahsan about the branch several times and wanted to recommend him as the branch secretary, but the organization and discipline constrained him not to decide the party's affairs privately before the next branch meeting! In fact, since Li Ahshan came, the branch has basically become a non-existent member, and the members of the branch committee are more willing to chat with him.
After a few more days, although the doctor also treated it seriously, he also took the medicine on time. Liang Guocheng felt a little lightened, the wound on his leg could be seen to be scabbed when he changed the dressing, the wound on his back could not be seen from the dressing change, and he could see that there was still thick blood from the bandage he had changed, which didn't seem to be good at all, and he often had a high fever, especially when he felt a fever recently, his brain was blank, as if he fainted every time he had a fever. The cough is not good, so many people's prisons, people come back from work during the day, and the cough is not obvious, and it is especially obvious when the night is quiet; In order not to disturb the rest of others, he always covered his head with a blanket for coughing, and in fact he basically covered his head all night. He felt that he was very young and in good health, that he was not sick at all, that he rarely had a cold, and that he had never taken medicine in his memory. It's been so many days since he was injured, and the doctor feels that he has been carefully treated, why is it not getting better? Now not only is the injury not healing, but the body is also very weak, and it is difficult to stand up and walk on your own. Li Ahsan had to take him for a walk every night, and after only a while, he felt very tired, his body felt uncomfortable as if he had fallen apart, and he coughed even more when he walked. He felt that there was darkness in front of him, that is, the day when others might be rescued and returned to China, his body might not be able to wait for that day. In the dead of night, looking at the stars outside the window, like a girl's blinking bright eyes, I sighed, how good it is for me to live so young! People don't have any extravagant hopes when they're desperate, they just want to live; When you are in trouble, the person who appears in your mind is always a lover. He is a person who is desperate and in double difficulty, and the shadow of the light rain is shaking in front of him as soon as he closes his eyes in the past few days, which is a mental hallucination caused by transitional thoughts. Xiaoyu grew up in a wealthy family, never left home from elementary school to high school, and when she came to Beijing to go to school, her parents sent her to school, and her mother went to the dormitory to help her tidy up the bedding before leaving. Miss Jiao, who grew up in a wealthy family before the liberation, resolutely joined the army and entered the DPRK in response to the country's call after liberation, "Of course, it is also to see Liang Guocheng" This is an eldest lady like Xiaoyu who needs to pay more determination than a girl born in an ordinary family, and unimaginable efforts! He is now most worried about whether Xiaoyu can adapt to the cold climate of North Korea, although she is also in the north from Shanghai to Beijing, but compared with North Korea, Beijing is a hotbed. Because North Korea's winter is colder than Beijing's, and the heavy work of rescuing the wounded in the field hospital is day and night, he is worried about whether Xiaoyu's thin physique can be eaten; During the war years, the country had just been liberated, and there was a shortage of materials, and the food on the troops was less oil, no salt, and could the light rain be swallowed?
Liang Guocheng was sleeping in a daze when he had a high fever, and when the fever subsided, he seemed to have slept when he had a fever, and he was very annoyed, especially when he couldn't sleep at night and stared at the stars outside the window! Later that day, in the middle of the night, when he heard the sound of Suo Suo in the prison, the voice was very small, and he could not hear it. After a while, I heard a soft voice, like Li Ashan's voice, and I couldn't hear what he was saying. He turned his head to see that there was no one in Li Ashan's bed, and he was even more sure that it was Li Ashan. Prisoners of war survive under the guns of enemies in a foreign land, and there is a sensitivity that no one else can understand, and the first thing that comes to mind is the safety of life. Originally, he had believed in Li Ahshan and their new prisoners of war in the past few days, but tonight's scene made him have new doubts about them. After Li Ahsan and Company Commander Zhang switched positions, Company Commander Zhang and the new prisoners of war slept in the middle of the prison cell, not far from Liang Guocheng's feet. Now that Liang Guocheng is suspicious of Li Ashan, he must think of Company Commander Zhang; Because they have fought with the guards together, although Li Ahshan has helped him a little more in the past few days, the interdependence and trust generated in the struggle are more reliable! He picked up the crutch that Liang Guocheng gave him, leaned out and stabbed Company Commander Zhang. Zhengxiang, who was sleeping with Company Commander Zhang, was suddenly stabbed, opened his eyes vigilantly and looked at it, but he didn't see anything and turned over and fell asleep again. Li Ashan and the others were disturbed, so he quietly scattered around and returned to his place to sleep. On the second day, he himself wanted to tell Company Commander Zhang to hold a branch meeting to inform everyone, but he felt that there was no basis for it, in case it was an unintentional incident for them, but he was worried about affecting everyone's rest and chatting in a low voice?
