Chapter 31: Doctor Shangguan
After returning from studying medicine in Germany, he saw that the mountains and rivers were broken and the country was invaded by foreign people, so Shangguan Yusi also resolutely joined the army - that is, his brother Shangguan Xingcheng's special service battalion and became a second lieutenant medical officer.
In the battle of Moyunling, he was pushed off the cliff by Shangguan Xingcheng at the last moment. Although Shangguan Yusi was born as a medical student, he was agile and reacted very quickly, in the process of falling, he grabbed the branches stretched out of the mountain with his hands and feet all the way down, although the branches could not stop his fall, but with the continuous delay, Shangguan Yusi miraculously only broke his tibia.
Shangguan Yusi had been recuperating on his injured leg in the mountains for two months, and only recently recovered somewhat, and then he found our lone army deep behind enemy lines......
Last night, after I fell unconscious, Shangguan Yusi showed up and Duan Biao revealed his identity, and then led us through a hidden cave, thus shaking off the Japanese encirclement.
"It's just that your injuries are too serious, I can only temporarily stop your injuries from getting worse, and if you want to recover completely, you still need surgery." Shangguan Yusi looked apologetic.
"It's already good...... Thank you, Dr. Shangguan. ”
Duan Biao on the side said: "Anzi, you have been in a coma for two days, but thanks to Dr. Shangguan who brought you back from Lord Yama, you really have to thank people." ”
I was amazed that I had been in a coma for so long, and I was also surprised that Shangguan Yusi was able to save me, a dying man, under such medical conditions.
"Thank you so much, Doctor Shangguan." Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude.
Duan Biao: "Anzi, there is another good news. Doctor Shangguan has a way to cross the river, we can go back to Linmeng! ”
It turned out that in the past two months, Shangguan Yusi has been looking for opportunities to cross the Nu River. Later, he found out that there were a few sneaky guys, and every half a month they would come to the river, take advantage of the darkness to pull a bamboo raft out of the grass, push it into the river, and carry some goods to the east bank.
I was a little puzzled: "How can you raft over such a wide river?" No one ever found them? ”
Shangguan Yusi: "I also felt strange at first, but after they left, I went to check the bamboo raft and realized that there was a rope tied to one end of the bamboo raft, which led directly to the east bank, and every time they crossed the river, they were at the appointed time, and someone on the east bank answered them." ”
"How do you respond?"
"It's simple and primitive, the people on the east bank pull the ropes, and under the cover of night, the bamboo raft will soon be able to pass through the Nu River!"
I was stunned. This is really a very simple method, a small bamboo raft in the dark will not attract much attention, and with the help of someone on the east bank, this is indeed an excellent way to cross the river.
Duan Biao sighed: "Damn, I already knew that there was such a way, why should we fly around in the sky and be a live target for devils!" ”
Shangguan Yusi: "This method can only transport a very small number of people across the river, not to mention the Japanese troops on the west bank, even if they are discovered by the defenders on the east bank, they will not hesitate to open fire." ”
So, we temporarily hid in Shangguan Yusi's hiding place, waiting for the day of crossing the river. The place where he was hiding was the back of a cavern, and it was relatively safe because it was covered by a large area of dense trees, which was difficult for even ordinary hunters to find.
There are still two days left for those people to routinely cross the river, and Duan Biao has already begun to allocate weapons and ammunition, preparing to deal with possible emergencies, because after all, this is an enemy-occupied area, and the chance of encountering the Japanese army is actually not smaller than the chance of whether I can survive or not.
I was carried in turns on a bamboo bed, and a group of more than a dozen people, under the guidance of Shangguan Yusi, began to walk towards the river.
I can also see lying on the bamboo bed that Shangguan Yu Si, who is walking in the front, is like flying, he really doesn't look like a doctor, he is more like a soldier who has been marching and fighting for many years.
Along the way, he was lucky, and after evading two Japanese patrols, he never encountered Japanese soldiers again. In the evening, we came to the edge of the Nu River, even though according to Shangguan Yusi, this is already the slowest place in the Nu River, we can still hear the sound of the rushing water of the Nu River by the river.
"Nu River, a river that is angry, this name is really not wrong!" Duan Biao sighed at the shock that the Nu River brought him up close.
I smiled and said, "So, old Duan, you were able to escape death in the Nu River last time, which is really a great blessing and a great life." ”
Duan Biao smiled: "That means Lao Tzu conquered the Nu River!" ”
Here we look up and see the positions on the east bank, and the occasional sound of gunfire reminds us that nothing has changed, that nothing has changed on the east and west shores because of our team, and that our survival is not about the overall situation.
At night, I was lying on a bamboo bed when a snake meandered past me. I watched it quietly, and the fear of snakes seemed to disappear all at once, which is a strange phenomenon, could it be that people who have experienced death can ignore fear?
Duan Biao also saw the snake, Duan Biao seemed to be very jealous of this soft-bodied cold-blooded animal, he sat up and avoided it backwards to let the snake pass leisurely.
"Anzi, didn't you see it......" Duan Biao pointed to the grass where the snake was gone.
Shangguan Yusi made a gesture of silence, and Qiu Ba immediately lowered his body and crouched in the grass.
After a while, several guys dressed in black emerged from the forest on the hillside. They didn't know where they dragged out a bamboo raft that could hold more than 20 people, bolted the bamboo raft to a big stone along the river, and then several people returned to the forest, carried out a few wooden boxes wrapped in oilcloth and closed tightly, and placed them on the raft one by one.
Shangguan Yusi waved his hand, and Duan Biao stood up from the grass with a dozen people holding Thompson submachine guns, and slowly approached these stunned guys.
When they got closer, they saw Duan Biao's clothes clearly, and one of the leading guys said in surprise: "Brother of the national army? ”
Duan Biao lowered his voice: "Don't fucking nonsense!" Use this raft to cross the river! ”
These guys glanced at each other, and they didn't seem to be so alarmed: "This is easy to say, how to say that we are all Chinese, and it is natural to help the national army." ”
Duan Biao didn't say much to them, and commanded people to carry me onto the raft.
The leading guy almost gloated and said: "Master Jun, I advise you not to bother, this master is so badly injured, being soaked in the river will only aggravate his injuries......"
This is a problem that we have all overlooked, using such a rudimentary means to cross the river, the river water is bound to rush onto the raft, and if a seriously injured person like me washes his wounds in the river, it is estimated that he will not need to be sent for surgery, and he will die in the river.
Duan Biao frowned and turned around, kicking the wooden box with his foot: "Your goods are not afraid of water?" ”
The guy smiled: "Master Jun, our goods are wrapped in waterproof tarpaulins...... Hey, master, what are you going to do? I can't move......"
Duan Biao had already begun to open the wooden box, and he was about to take out the tarpaulin inside.
Now these guys are in a hurry: "Oh, military master, this is not good, this is our goods, if this is soaked in water, it will be completely ruined, how do you let us explain to the owner?" ”
Duan Biao pushed a guy close to him aside with an elbow: "What goods can be more important than human life?" The goods are ruined, and Lao Tzu will compensate you when he arrives on the east coast! ”
