Chapter 23: Painful Memory
"Click......
Zhao Ruzhi was holding a machine gun and shooting, and the little devils and the Han puppet army at the city gate all lay on the ground in fright. Zhang Dongbei rode a motorcycle to rush left and right, and finally got out of the city gate. I didn't know how far I ran, and I didn't know where I ran, Zhang Dongbei stopped when he saw that he had thrown off the pursuers behind him.
Slowly calmed his breath, the battle just now was too dangerous, and he really couldn't get out. But fortunately, thanks to my riding skills, I am not bad. Zhang Dongbei thought a little narcissistically.
"How are you, why don't you come down and rest for a while. The little devil will not be able to catch up for a while. Zhang Dongbei walked to the deputy position and patted Zhao Ruzhi's shoulder, his hands were slippery, and there was a sticky feeling. Zhang Dongbei raised his hand and saw the bright red blood in his palm.
"Are you hurt? Why didn't you say it earlier? Zhang Dongbei almost roared and shouted at Zhao Ruzhi. Zhao Ruzhi was wearing dark black clothes, soaked in blood, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see it at all. And during the fierce battle just now, all Zhang Dongbei's attention was focused on the little devil, and he didn't notice the changes in Zhao Ruzhi beside him. After rushing out of the city gate, he was afraid that there would be pursuers behind him, and it was only now that he was really relaxed, but he still didn't find that Zhao Ruzhi was injured.
Zhang Dongbei gave himself a big slap in the face and blamed himself: "Zhang Dongdong, you big stupid donkey, why didn't you find out that she was injured." ”
Zhao Ruzhi heard that he was blaming himself, raised his already pale face and smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine, it's just a little flesh wound, as long as I rest for a few days, I'll be fine." ”
Zhang Dongbei already knew that her life was not in danger when he touched the wound on her shoulder just now, but the fact that he was negligent could not be relied upon. Zhang Dongbei scolded himself again in his heart, and said to Zhao Ruzhi: "Do you know where there are more hidden places around here? Find a place to get the bullet out of your shoulder. Otherwise, if you stay inside, the wound will become inflamed. ”
After all, Zhang Dongbei is just a newcomer in this era. For the geographical environment here, it is simply a dark eye. So I can only ask Zhao Ruzhi. Zhao Ruzhi took a look and said, "Go to the north, there is a forest in front, and after passing the woods, there is a broken temple at the foot of the mountain in front, which should be safer." Let's go there for the time being. ”
Zhang Dongbei didn't say anything more, stepped on the fuel door and headed north. In order not to make Zhao Ruzhi feel uncomfortable, Zhang Dongbei drove the motorcycle as smoothly as possible. There are too many potholes on the mountain road here, and they are bumpy along the way, Zhang Dongbei drove very slowly, and only after half an hour did he see the broken temple that Zhao Ruzhi said.
Zhang Dongbei didn't dare to approach rashly, so he stopped a few hundred meters away from the broken temple, and then went over to reconnoiter first, and only after confirming that it was an empty temple with no one on his back, he returned to the woods and carried Zhao Ruzhi over. Putting Zhao Ruzhi on the straw that had been laid out when he came in earlier, Zhang Dongbei found some dry branches and the like to make a fire, but in the end he found that there was no fire source.
If there is no fire source, you can't make a fire, and if you don't have fire, you can't sterilize the knife. It would be nice if there was wine, but now there is no wine. This made Zhang Dongbei difficult.
Zhao Ruzhi opened her eyes and said weakly, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Dongbei said helplessly: "There is no fire source, there is no fire, and there is no fire to disinfect the knives." That won't help you get the bullets out. ”
Zhao Ruzhi said: "You go and see if there is a small paper bag on the beam on the left, if there is, there is a flint and steel in it." ”
Zhang Dongbei searched for it according to his words, and really let him find a small paper bag, which contained some candles and two flints. Zhang Dongbei wondered why she was so familiar with this place, could it be that she often came here, or that this ruined temple was a contact point for their cottage?
Zhang Dongbei thought about it and lit the firewood, put the knife on the fire and burned it for a long time, tested the temperature with his hands, and walked to Zhao Ruzhi when he felt that it was okay, squatted down and began to unbutton Zhao Ruzhi's clothes.
Zhao Ruzhi suddenly opened her eyes, glared at Zhang Dongbei in horror and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Zhang Dongbei was stunned for a moment and said, "Get a bullet for you, how can you get a bullet if you don't unbutton it?" Regarding Zhao Ruzhi's overreaction, Zhang Dongbei was a little confused, and he didn't know what was wrong with her.
Zhao Ruzhi thought that he was injured, and Zhang Dongbei just wanted to help him. Exhaled heavily, and the whole person relaxed. But when Zhang Dongbei began to unbutton her clothes, her body was still trembling slightly, and tears overflowed from her closed eyes.
Zhang Dongbei buttoned her clothes again and withdrew her hand. He knew that Zhao Ruzhi must be very uncomfortable at this moment, and there must be a nightmare in her heart that she couldn't get rid of, and this nightmare has been haunting her.
"What's the matter, aren't you going to help me get the bullets? Why did you button me up again? Zhao Ruzhi asked, she didn't even open her eyes.
Zhang Dongbei did not answer her words, but took off the clothes on his body. Then he said, "After you take out the bullets, you can put my clothes on." As he spoke, he used a knife to cut all the shoulders of Zhao Ruzhi's clothes, revealing the wounds on his shoulders that had been pierced by bullets.
Zhao Ruzhi opened her eyes and saw Zhang Dongbei*'s upper body, the strong muscles were fully displayed in front of her, although at this time the lonely man and widow were in the same room, Zhang Dongbei was even naked, but the two were together without a trace of filth. Zhao Ruzhi said softly: "Thank you." You saved me again. ”
Zhang Dongbei slowly probed the tip of the knife into the wound on Zhao Ruzhi's shoulder, and the severe pain made Zhao Ruzhi's face turn white in an instant, but she didn't scream, she endured it. In her opinion, how can this pain compare to the pain caused by the encounter eight years ago?
The tip of the knife had already penetrated deep into the flesh, exceeding the depth of the warhead's clamping, and Zhang Dongbei lifted it lightly, and the whole bullet was bounced out and fell to the ground. Zhang Dongbei put some of the grass he had picked on the road in his mouth and chewed it, then applied it to the wound, and then cut a few strips of cloth on his trouser leg and used her to bandage the wound. These grasses have a certain hemostatic and analgesic effect. Especially when fighting in the jungle, some grasses can often save people's lives.
Zhang Dongbei wiped the beads of sweat on his head and said with a smile: "What do you say to save or not, we are now comrades-in-arms in distress." That's too much of an outrage. ”
Zhao Ruzhi said: "I'm not talking about this, but just now you helped me buckle my clothes back and get dressed." If you had unfastened my clothes just now, I would not have survived even if you had helped me remove the bullet at the end. ”
Although Zhang Dongbei had long guessed that Zhao Ruzhi had a lingering shadow in his heart, he didn't expect that this shadow would have such a great impact on Zhao Ruzhi.
"Will you tell me what happened to you?" Zhang Dongbei asked tentatively.
Hearing Zhang Dongbei ask, Zhao Ruzhi's mood that had just calmed down was stirred again, and her body began to tremble again.
Zhang Dongbei hurriedly said: "Don't be excited, otherwise the wound will open again, if you don't want to say, I won't ask again." I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, and it reminds you of an unhappy past. "Zhang Dongbei is really afraid that she has three strengths and two weaknesses now. The wound can rupture again in a big or small way, and there are no medical supplies right now, so of course be careful.
Zhao Ruzhi's emotions calmed down again, but her voice was still a little choked: "This matter has been hidden in my heart for eight years, and it has always been a wound that cannot be touched, but today I want to tell you, I don't know why, I think you are a trustworthy person." Hehe, in fact, since eight years ago, I no longer believe in men, and even hate men; Or any man but my stepfather, but today I want to believe you. I'll tell you about what happened to me eight years ago that hurts me to this day. ”
