Chapter 19: The Return

It's hot! The scorching sun scorched my whole body, leaving me with nowhere to hide, and I ran desperately on the scorched ground, trying to find some water to relieve the sharp pain in my throat; Every breath was a torture experience, the scorching air entering my equally hot lungs and burning all the muscles in my body.

Water! If I can't find any more water, I'm going to die of heat!!

But looking around, there is only a white saline-alkali tidal flat around, and there are waves of heat steaming under the sunshine, where to find the shadow of water?

However, I'm so hot and sore, I really want to drink some water!!

Wait, there seems to be a figure looming ahead, yes, there is indeed a figure on the salt ground in the heat wave, and he is walking in my direction.

He must have water!!

I ran towards him as hard as I could, but the pain all over my body made it impossible for me to run fast, so I could only get closer to each other, but fortunately he was also walking towards me, getting closer and closer, and finally I could barely see him.

His voice suddenly rang in my ears: "Remember my name, I'm Meryl!" ”

With a hoarse cry of pain, I woke up.

The first feeling I had when I woke up was that I was still in a dream, because the pain that spread all over my body and the sharp pain in my throat existed at the same time, and this uncomfortable feeling made me moan.

A figure appeared at this moan, a beautiful girl in a nurse's uniform, who first reached out and touched my forehead, then opened my eyelids and looked at it, as if she was doing some basic examination or something; I opened my mouth to ask her to give me some water, but my throat was so dry that I couldn't speak, and the pain in my neck made it impossible for me to turn my head.

In this way, I could only watch in a daze as her figure appeared above me from time to time, and then left my field of vision; The thirst was getting stronger, and I was so anxious that I was desperate to do something to get her to give me water to drink, when a straw was shoved into my mouth.

The feeling of water flowing down my throat is indescribable, but just after I swallowed two mouthfuls, the straw was pulled out of my mouth.

A familiar face appeared in my field of vision, it was actually Sister Isa, and then I heard Sister Isa's voice: "Thank you, Nurse, it's okay, you can go and get busy first, I'll just accompany her." ”

followed by the sound of the nurse cleaning up her things and leaving the room, and after she left, Sister Isa's voice sounded again: "Xiaoqiang, the doctor said that your internal organs are a little damaged, so you can't drink too much water, you can only moisten your throat." As she spoke, she pressed something, and my upper body was slowly lifted up.

"Xiaoqiang, you are not bad, you made a battle exploit for the first time on the battlefield, and you were promoted to a platoon commander in the line of fire, hehe, if you go a few more times, it won't be the rhythm of being a general? Let me tell you, you have made a great contribution to this great retreat, and I heard that the military department has confirmed that it will award you a medal. Oh yes, grandpa said don't rush to tell you this for the time being......"

It's still Sister Sasha's signature anxious and fast way of speaking, but at this moment, it gives me a warm feeling, as if back in the past, after I did something wrong, my mother was the same, constantly babbling in my ear; At the beginning, I thought she was so annoying, but listening to Sister Isa's broken thoughts today, I miss my parents and sister who I haven't seen for several years like never before, and I really want to know how they are doing now, whether everything is okay.

When I came back to my senses from this longing, I saw Sister Isha in front of me staring at me with big beautiful eyes.

"Well, Sister Isha hasn't seen you for a long time." I was embarrassed to be stared at by her, so I spoke. As soon as I opened my mouth, I realized that my voice had become very hoarse and unpleasant, and my throat felt as if a piece of sandpaper was rubbing against me.

"Wow, Xiaoqiang, you finally spoke, just now you were suddenly stunned, scared my sister!!" Sister Isha exaggeratedly patted her chest with her hand to make a frightened gesture, and said to me with a smile: "It's okay, you've been fainting for seven days, and when they brought you back, you seemed to be scattered, so I sent you to the rescue room as soon as possible, and when grandpa knew the news and asked me to come over first, you have been rescued for more than four hours." ”

"I'm sorry Sister Isa for worrying you." Hearing her words, I felt warm in my heart, after a few years of getting along, I have long regarded the old captain and Sister Isa as family, and they really care about me like family.

"Silly boy, it's okay, grandpa came to see you when you were unconscious, and he told me what you did on the battlefield, and grandpa praised you for doing a good job. Now your bones are almost recovered, so today the doctor will do the last treatment for you, and ah, you will be back to the same as before. Grandpa is still busy with the retreat today, so he can only wait for you to finish his treatment and come to see you. ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to be a little thirsty, and picked up a cup from the window to drink, and I hurriedly took this opportunity to ask, "Sister Isa, where are we now?" ”

This question has been bothering me for a while, and after lifting my upper body, I can see that the room we are staying in is a standard ward, like Sister Isa said I have been in a coma for a week, so where is this ward?

"Oh, Xiaoqiang, you see that my sister is patronizing and happy, and I forgot to tell you that we are on the way to the Holy Capital, and the retreat of the St. Louis Star has been successfully completed, and the jump base point has been successfully destroyed; We were the last to evacuate, this is the battleship Silver Fox, and Grandpa and several of their star leaders are also on the ship, but they are still busy. When you get out of the treatment pod, you should be able to see him. ”

Isa's words were still very informative, but they also quickly gave me a clear picture of the current situation, and it seemed that the previous resistance did buy enough time to retreat, which made me feel a lot more relieved, at least the dead brethren did not lose their lives in vain.

Just as I was feeling a little gloomy, the door to the ward opened, and a doctor in a white coat and the beautiful nurse walked in with a trolley. Seeing them, Sister Isha said: "Okay Xiaoqiang, the doctor is here to treat you, don't think too much, you will recover in three days, and he still has something to tell you at that time." ”

After saying that, Sister Isha smiled and made a "V" gesture to me, and waved her hand to me to say goodbye, I also smiled and waved to her, and watched her turn away before I made myself more comfortable in the hospital bed.

After the examination, the nurse gave me an injection, and then, a strong sense of sleepiness hit me, and before I really fell asleep, I thought of a figure dressed in desert camouflage......
