Chapter Seventy-Eight: I'll Carry It with You
The setting sun hung weakly in the sky, stretching the figure very long, weak and dim.
Li Siwei carried Wang Guangwu on his back, leaning on his back, walking with difficulty, beads of sweat covered his face, mixed with blood, and drops fell.
More than a third of the 36 surviving members of the special service company were seriously wounded......
Wang Guangwu's voice on his back trembled, "Commander, let me go...... You go first, let's go back slowly......" His left leg was wounded, and the hastily wrapped cloth was already soaked in blood.
"No," Li Siwei stiffened, stopped, and said in a low voice, "Death...... Brother...... Still lying on the battlefield...... Lao Tzu can't ...... Can't put ...... anymore The injured brother also lost ......"
Wang Guangwu's heart trembled, and he was silent.
Let the dead brother be buried in peace? Or take your living brother and run for your life? It's a cruel choice! It is also a problem that Li Siwei must face.
Li Siwei took another step, still heavy and slow, but he tried to straighten his back, "Lao Tzu will go and collect their corpses, it will definitely be!" ”
"Commander, commander......" Huang Hua rushed from the hillside, his face full of joy, "Found it, found it...... Black Bull: They are in the village on the other side of the mountain......"
"Turtle's," Li Siwei felt light, "I finally caught up!" ”
"What about people?" Sun Dali hugged the dying Luo Ping'an, raised his head, "Hurry up and let them take a stretcher to pick up people......"
"Here, it's right behind," Huang Hua strode to Sun Dali's side, probing Luo Ping'an's snort, and breathed a sigh of relief, "There is still breath...... Luo Ping'an of the turtle, his life is hard! ”
At this time, the figures of Liao Heiniu and others were revealed at the end of the mountain road, and Liao Heiniu's loud voice sounded in the distance, "Cannon, you can be regarded as catching up......
In the mountain col, thirty or fifty courtyards are built along the mountain, and a small river flows slowly in the village.
The group hurried into the village and carried the wounded straight to the village chief's house, where the temporary health center was located.
The village chief's house was full of smoke, and Ning Rou was busy with Wu Ruolan and a few women...... Boil water, make beds, prepare medicines, gauze.
When the footsteps at the gate of the courtyard sounded, Ning Rou suddenly raised her head and stared closely at the crowd pouring in, her smart eyes kept searching in the crowd...... The wounded were constantly carried in, but Li Siwei was not seen in the crowd!
"Doctor Ning, hurry, hurry," Liao Heiniu hurriedly barged in, "There are a few brothers who are seriously injured...... Look at Luo Ping'an first, he was the most seriously injured. ”
"Luo Ping'an?" Ning Rou was stunned, hurriedly walked over, and explored Luo Ping'an's situation, "Quick, carry him to the bed...... Ruolan, scissors ......"
"Doctor Ning, I'll leave it to you here," Liao Heiniu and a brother put Luo Ping'an on the bed, and quickly turned around and walked out the door, "I have to pick up the head of the regiment and their ......"
Ning Rou's hand stiffened, "He...... Haven't come back yet? ”
"Come back," Liao Heiniu didn't reply, "But, he left again, he said that he was going to pick up the brothers who died in the battle and came back......" As he spoke, Liao Heiniu had already arrived outside the door and went to the gate of the courtyard in a hurry.
Ning Rou had a sour nose, lowered her head, picked up the scissors, and carefully cut the cloth tape wrapped around Luo Ping'an's body...... For that man, both the mission and the brother are more important than his own safety!
The cloth belt soaked in blood that had hardened was gently cut, and the hideous wound on Luo Ping'an's chest and abdomen appeared in front of her eyes, Rao is used to seeing the wounded, and she couldn't help but tremble in her heart at this time, "Eliminate...... Disinfectant ......"
Wu Ruolan looked at the hideous wound on Luo Ping'an's chest and abdomen blankly, and tears fell down, "Sister Rou'er...... Why the war? Why do you want to fight......"
Ning Rou was shocked, and tears rolled down her face, "I don't know, I really don't know...... I'm just a doctor, I'm only going to save people......"
"Save people...... Yes, save people," Wu Ruolan hurriedly handed over the disinfectant water, and the tears of "Save ......" rolled to the ground and splashed dust.
The night came quietly, and the health center was brightly lit.
After Ning Rou treated the last wounded, she straightened up and beat her sore waist vigorously.
Wu Ruolan hurriedly held her up, "Sister Rou'er, I'll help you back to your room to rest first, wait a minute, I'll send you food to ......"
"No," Ning Rou smiled at her reluctantly, broke away from her hand, and walked out the door, faltering, "You are here to watch them, come and call me if you have anything......"
Wu Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after her, "I'll send you back......"
Ning Rou waved her little hand and had already arrived outside the door, "I'll go see the head of the regiment...... I don't know ......if he's back or not."
Wu Ruolan was stunned, stopped, and stared blankly at the thin figure gradually moving away.
As soon as Ning Rou walked to the gate of the courtyard, she met Huang Hua head-on, and was stunned for a moment, "You...... You're back......"
"I'm back," Huang Hua nodded hurriedly, but with an anxious expression, "Doctor Ning, come with me......"
"What's wrong?" Ning Rou was startled, and her heart lifted, "What about the regiment leader?" He ......"
Huang Hua sighed, "Alas, you will ...... if you go"
Before Huang Hua's words fell, Ning Rou had already stumbled out of the courtyard door, crying, "What's wrong with him?" What the hell is going on......
Huang Hua was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after him, "Doctor Ning, don't you be in a hurry...... Commander, he was not injured......"
"Oh," Ning Rou was stunned, stopped suddenly, turned her head, and stared at Huang Hua tightly, "He's not hurt?" ”
"No," Huang Hua shook his head, "we didn't run into the little devil when we rushed back, but...... Alas, you can see it when you go and see it. ”
Ning Rou's heart fell to the ground, her eyes lit up, and she murmured: "It's good if you don't die, it's good if you don't die......"
As long as people don't die, there is no way to get over it!
Li Siwei is not dead, but his heart is like ashes!
The night is as cool as water, and on the hillside in the south of the village, more than a dozen torches light up the night sky.
Li Siwei knelt on the hillside in a daze, and in front of him were more than sixty small mounds, neatly arranged, and there were new graves where his brothers were buried.
Behind Li Siwei, Liao Heiniu and the others stood quietly, looking at Li Siwei who was kneeling like a sculpture, his eyes full of sadness...... The whole hillside was dead silent, except for the flames that danced "sizzling".
Huang Hua and Ning Rou hurried over and stopped at the bottom of the hillside.
Huang Hua pointed at Li Siwei and sighed leisurely, "Commander, he...... Get down on your knees...... I never got up, no one could pull up, no one could persuade me......"
Ning Rou trembled all over, and walked gently up the hillside, every step was so light, as if she was afraid of waking up something...... In the night breeze, her figure is so thin that it makes people feel distressed!
Seeing Ning Rou walking up, Liao Heiniu and Shi Meng glanced at each other, waved their hands gently, and quietly retreated with their brothers.
Ning Rou walked, every step was so light, every step was so slow...... Closer, closer, she looked at the man who knelt like a sculpture in front of the grave, tears slowly clouding her eyes...... What did he do wrong again? He's an officer, he's just doing what all officers do, he's even better than most officers, but...... What a fragile and sensitive heart is hidden beneath his strong body?
"What's wrong with you?" Ning Rou held back her tears and said softly, "Li Siwei, what's wrong with you?" ”
Li Siwei was shocked, slowly turned his head, glanced at Ning Rou in a daze, and slowly turned his head, looking at the new graves one by one.
"Li Siwei," Ning Rou's voice trembled, "Li Siwei...... What the hell is wrong with you? At that moment, she could see the man's swollen eyes...... He must have cried!
Li Siwei slowly turned his head again, staring at her blankly, his red and swollen eyes were shining with tears, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't even say a word.
"Li Siwei," tears rolled down Ning Rou's pretty face, "Li Siwei, what's wrong with you?" Tell me...... What's wrong with you? ”
"I'm ......" Li Siwei looked at her blankly, tears sliding silently, "You...... Why are you here? ”
Ning Rou still looked at him stupidly, letting her tears slide down, "They said you ...... Say you...... It's going to collapse...... Is it true? ”
"I ...... I ......" Li Siwei's tears rolled down, and he pointed to his chest in a daze, "soft ...... Rou'er, I'm ...... I...... I'm so tired here...... I'm so tired......"
Ning Rou squatted down and gently hugged Li Siwei, tears raining down, "I know, I know...... But you can't collapse, you can't collapse! You're broken...... What should the three regiments do? What should I do brothers? ”
"Three regiments...... Brothers......" Li Siwei was shocked, "Without me, the third regiment is still the third regiment, brothers...... Don't follow me anymore...... Follow me to death...... Do you know? I killed them, I killed them......"
"No, no," Ning Rou hugged her tighter, "it's this damn war that killed them, it's the hateful little devils...... Killed them......"
"It's me...... I killed them," Li Siwei shook his head slowly, tears rippling, "If they don't follow me...... will not die...... It's not going to die......"
"They are soldiers," Ning Rou hugged Li Siwei deadly, "They are soldiers...... Since the beginning of the war, have there been fewer dead soldiers? Dozens of generals have died...... They are just the lowest soldiers...... They follow others...... Wouldn't it be dead? It's not like this, it's not like this...... They are not afraid of death, they just want to be afraid of being worthless......"
Ning Rou let go of Li Siwei, stretched out a pair of small hands, gently brushed his head, and looked at his eyes tightly, "Have you heard this poem?" The soldiers are like tiger jackals, the long sword shatters my body, the sharp arrow pierces my cheeks, and my life is only for a moment, who is sad about the festival? The great will be rewarded, and I am the only one who dies...... Do you understand? The only way to end this damn war is to drive the little devils out of China...... Brothers don't have to go to death anymore......"
Li Siwei shook his head in a daze, "I understand, I understand...... But they're all my brothers...... They gave me their lives, but ...... But...... But I brought them to death...... My heart...... My heart...... It's so uncomfortable...... It's so uncomfortable...... I would rather die than I am, I would rather die than I am...... Do you know? I'm the damned one, I'm the ......."
"Wow," Ning Rou hugged Li Siwei and cried loudly, "You can't die, you can't die...... What are you going to do when you're dead, brothers? You're dead...... What should I do? ”
Li Siwei was shocked, hugged Ning Rou tightly, and cried bitterly...... God, why did you want me to come to this troubled time? Why did you want me to meet them? I'm just an otaku, I'm just a sentimental guy who can't get anything done......
Li Siwei cried, Ning Rou cried even more sadly, and kept sobbing, "You're tired...... Just cry hard...... There I am! There I am! Woohoo......"
At this moment, Li Siwei cried loudly, "Woo woo woo ......"
At the foot of the mountain, Huang Hua, Liao Heiniu and others stood in the dark, quietly watching this scene, tears had blinded their eyes...... Ci is not in charge of the soldiers! Ci is not in charge of the soldiers! But the regimental commander he ...... It's just a kid in his twenties! Every order will have a brother sacrificed, and every decision is related to the life and death of the whole group...... How can he afford it? How can he afford it! But...... He must bear it, because he is the soul of the three regiments!
The night was flowing quietly, the hillside was brightly lit, and there was a dead silence all around...... Only the pair of lovers who hugged each other tightly were crying loudly, crying so much that their hearts and intestines were broken!
Maybe I'm tired of crying, or maybe I'm running out of sorrow in my heart...... The cry faded away.
Li Siwei gently let go of Ning Rou and looked at her quietly, tears were still there, but his voice became firm, "Rou'er, I don't have anything to do, nothing to do...... You...... You go back first, and I'll accompany my brothers. ”
Ning Rou raised her head and shook her head stubbornly, "I'll accompany you......" As she spoke, she knelt lightly beside Li Siwei, "I want to accompany you, accompany you...... No matter what happens in the future, I will carry it with you......"
"You ......" Li Siwei's heart trembled, "Rou'er, you don't have to be like this...... I...... I can carry it, I can carry it......"
Ning Rou turned her head and looked at him stubbornly, "Siwei, I'm just an ordinary woman, I can't help you...... But when you're tired, I can hold you...... You cry, I can cry with you...... If you kneel, I will kneel with you......"
"I ......" Li Siwei was shocked, looked at the stubborn girl stupidly, looked at the flawless face, and muttered: "Rou'er, I'm ...... I'm really fine, you can go back and help me take care of my injured brother. ”
Ning Rou still knelt stubbornly, "You want to ...... Pay off the debt, I will pay it off with you! ”
Debt...... Li Siwei's heart trembled, this debt ...... And how to pay it back? How to pay it off! That's ...... A living life! Enough to crush any strong backbone!
Night, silent.
Sending Ning Rou back, Li Siwei strolled through the small village in the middle of the night and muttered, "Brothers, may you ...... Afterlife...... Don't be reincarnated in troubled times! ”
"The soldiers are like tiger jackals, the long sword shatters my body, the sharp arrow pierces my cheeks, my life is only for a moment, who is sad? Successful will be rewarded, and I am the only one who dies! ”
Ning Rou's voice echoed in his mind, chaotic times...... Human life is like a mustard!
