Chapter Eighty-Eight: Dirty Work
Keeping Hu Aiguo warm has always been done by Platoon Commander Zhao. But to give him artificial respiration, I took turns with squad leader Liu. This is also a strenuous work, and in the case of physical exhaustion and no replenishment, a person cannot last long.
Our strength was not in vain, although Hu Aiguo did not wake up, but his body temperature was gradually rising, his muscles were not so stiff, especially the rhythm of breathing. That's the most comforting thing for me, and I think it's possible for him to regain his spontaneous breathing after a while.
Finally, Hu Aiguo had independent and even breathing, and squad leader Liu and I were freed. We sat side by side, neither of us in the mood to speak because of hunger. I feel sleepy again, and it's good that sleeping is the most energy-saving. I thought as I closed my eyes.
After a while, in a daze, I felt something burrow into my sleeping bag, a strip like a snake, stirring in the mezzanine of my sleeping bag, as if to find another exit. I almost jumped up, and regardless of the possibility of hurting myself, I threw my fist at the object.
Squad Leader Liu let out an "oops", and I felt that thing get out of the sleeping bag. I was terrified and asked squad leader Liu: "Something got into my sleeping bag, have you noticed?"
Squad leader Liu snorted for a while and said, "That's my hand." ”
I almost went crazy with this thing, and when I was in the rest area, he said that I had a problem with my orientation, and it turned out that he was the one who had the problem, and he was really a thief shouting to catch a thief.
I was so angry that I scolded: "You stay away from me, don't harass me, or I will abolish you first." ”
"What do you think?" Squad leader Liu immediately raised the door, and said angrily: "I want to find out, can I find something to eat." You think I'm just like you? ”
Damn, talk about me. But it wasn't what I thought it was, and I was relieved that I didn't want to be harassed by a man. When squad leader Liu said, I felt that the hunger was more obvious, and I couldn't sleep anyway, so let's look for it, and if there is a harvest, I can hold it for a while.
I said to squad leader Liu: "You don't need to look for it, I'll come by myself." ”
I've touched the mezzanine of this sleeping bag myself several times, and it was an accident to be able to find that cigarette. I reached in and touched it carefully, but I couldn't even touch the end of the cigarette. I thought about it, took the sleeping bag off my head, spread it on the ground in front of me, and carefully touched it from top to bottom. This time, I touched it thoroughly, and I also got a harvest, and I got two fish strips and a pinch of cigarettes.
Squad leader Liu and I shared this bit of food like a treasure, and our mouths were full of saliva, and I was really reluctant to swallow it. I feel like we're like camels, the end of saliva spilling out of the corners of our mouths, and our mouths are still chewing, but in fact, the last thing to chew is saliva.
I was still enjoying the mixed cigarette dust and fish saliva, and squad leader Liu asked me again: "Is there any, or do you want to touch it again?" ”
I said, "I just took it off and touched it, and I turned it over before I shook out the cigarette residue." If you really can't stand it, I'll tear a sleeping bag for you to eat. ”
"Then you don't need to, I have." Team leader Liu said disappointedly.
Then I heard the sound of his steel helmet slamming against the cave wall, and it seemed that he was also planning to save his energy by sleeping. After a while, I was in a daze again, and I didn't let myself wake up, so I fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it took me to feel someone shake me, and I grabbed the gun and asked, "Who, what's wrong?" ”
Platoon Commander Zhao's voice came: "He moved. ”
I thought about it and realized that he was talking about Hu Aiguo. I hurriedly followed the sound and touched it, Platoon Commander Zhao and Hu Aiguo are now lying on their sides, it seems that they have been pressed under a strong guy for a long time, and Platoon Commander Zhao can't stand it. I touched Hu Aiguo's body, and his body temperature rose significantly, and it seemed that he was really saved.
I immediately reached into his clothes and rubbed his chest and abdomen, and soon the palms of my hands were hot, and the temperature of his body and abdomen quickly rose. Squad leader Liu rubbed his limbs with one hand, and after a while, Hu Aiguo's body trembled slightly, and his throat made a whining sound. After another moment, Hu Aiguo finally moved his arm independently.
I breathed a sigh of relief and said to squad leader Liu, "You feed him some water, and I'll light the torch." ”
Squad Leader Liu let out a loud "um" angrily, touched the kettle and fed Hu Aiguo water. Hypothermia, especially those with severe hypothermia, can only be fed hot water. Of course, we don't have hot water now, so we can only warm it up in our mouths and give it to each other to drink.
When I lit the torch, I saw squad leader Liu feeding Hu Aiguo water mouth-to-mouth. Hu Aiguo is still in a coma, but he is no longer in a deep coma, and he has a natural reaction to sucking and swallowing the water fed by squad leader Liu. It's just that the reaction is a bit strong, which makes squad leader Liu very dissatisfied.
After feeding the water, squad leader Liu expressed his dissatisfaction. "Why do we do this dirty work every time?" He pointed at Platoon Commander Zhao and said, "Let him warm Hu Aiguo first." ”
"That's his soldier." I'm serious. Neuropathic thinking is very peculiar, but it does not mean that the IQ is high. In front of him, except for spatial imagination, I am willing to bow down, how can I scare him in other aspects.
"Then he's not my soldier, why do you let me do this dirty work?" Squad leader Liu put his finger on his nose and asked.
"Because he's your comrade-in-arms." My answer remained very flat.
Then I walked past him and walked in front of Hu Aiguo. Squad leader Liu was stunned and thought of words. No matter what he thinks about this, I will not be more responsible than he is.
Under the torch, Hu Aiguo's face was already human, and the warm water with squad leader Liu's saliva moistened his throat and esophagus, making him feel very comfortable. I saw a look of satisfaction on his face.
I blocked the light of the torch with my hand and called him softly: "Hu Aiguo, Xiao Hu." ”
Hu Aiguo slowly opened his eyes, and was immediately pierced by the firelight, and his eyes were quickly closed. I put the torch to the side and said, "Now it's okay, open your eyes with your face this way." ”
Hu Aiguo looked at me, frowned and thought for a long time and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Damn, what are you afraid of, I hope it's short-term amnesia. I pointed to squad leader Liu, who was still thinking about words, and asked, "Do you remember him?" ”
Hu Aiguo's eyes lit up, and he seemed to recognize it, but after thinking for a while, he still shook his head. Judging by his expression, the amnesia is not serious, and it may even recover in a short time. I pointed to Platoon Commander Zhao and asked him, "You should know this person." ”
Hu Aiguo's motor function has not fully recovered, and he is very slow to turn his neck, and he cannot turn to the maximum angle. Halfway through, his neck suddenly stopped, and his whole face froze, and then he looked like he was about to cry.
