Zhang Qingshan, who was lying on a special stretcher, was carried by twelve people in turn, and was very stable.

Twelve people carried him, it does sound a bit exaggerated, but this is the truth: first of all, after more than a year of the Long March, everyone was already tired, and this more than a month of marching on the water and grassland was even more difficult.

Secondly, this stretcher is specially made, and the 'sticks' on both sides are made of three spears tied to each other, and if no one carries them in between, the stretcher will shake slightly, and the rope will become looser and looser, and eventually fall apart.

In the end, the soldiers already had great respect for Zhang Qingshan, and knew that Zhang Qingshan was sick from hard work, so they took the initiative to ask Ying to carry the stretcher...... When selecting people, if Liu Bing hadn't only selected twelve comrades with relatively better physical strength, there would not be so many people, otherwise, I'm afraid that now it's not just twelve people who carry a stretcher for him, but everyone.

In the evening of the same day, during the meal, many comrades were holding bowls, passing by Zhang Qingshan's resting place to take a look, squatting on the ground while eating and 'communicating' with the comrades around them. Especially when it is time to sleep, many comrades will inevitably listen with their ears pricked up, because they are used to Zhang Qingshan's figure, and now, all of a sudden, this figure has disappeared, which makes them a little uncomfortable, and it is inevitable that they will be a little worried about Zhang Qingshan's condition.

The soldiers are like this, Liu Bing and other cadres are more concerned about Zhang Qingshan's condition: perhaps, only at this time, will they be stunned to find out how difficult it is for Zhang Qingshan to smile and smile on weekdays: like everyone eats and drinks, but he is the one who sleeps the latest and gets up the earliest. The first thing that comes to mind is to send it to the sick and wounded. No matter how much his comrades 'bullied' him, he worked hard and grudged him, and faced it with a smile. However, now that this person who has been silently dedicating himself has finally fallen ill, who will feel better in his heart? Who does not say in his heart, "It turns out that Comrade Zhang Qingshan works so weekdays"?

"Comrade Xiaofang, is Lao Zhang's condition better?" Early in the morning, Peng Peng and Zhou Ping came together, first looked at Zhang Qingshan, who was still unconscious, and then asked Qin Fang. However, seeing that Qin Fang's eyes were red, the two of them were also startled, and hurriedly relieved: "Xiaofang, you don't have to be too anxious, old Zhang Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine." But you, take care of your body......"

"That's right, Xiaofang, you go and make up for it, I'll help you watch it here, and make sure it's okay." ”

Qin Fang, Zhou Bao 'Yu', and Xiang Tao were by Zhang Qingshan's side last night...... Zhou Bao's 'jade' couldn't hold on in the second half of the night and fell asleep unconsciously, while Xiang Tao squinted for a while at Qin Fang's request, but Qin Fang didn't close his eyes all night, and wanted to check Zhang Qingshan's situation from time to time. Occasionally, a breeze blows, in order to prevent Zhang Qingshan from catching a cold, she always moves to the downwind and uses her thin body to block the wind for Zhang Qingshan......

"It's okay, I often stay up late and get used to it. ”

Zhou Bao 'Yu' and Xiang Tao, who were awakened, bowed their heads in shame when they heard Peng Peng and Zhou Ping's words. However, as soon as he heard Qin Fang's words, Zhou Bao 'Yu' hurriedly said, "Sister Xiaofang, you better go sleep for a while...... I'll bring you breakfast. ”

"Yes, Xiaofang, you take a rest, otherwise, you will be tired and sick, then it will be a big deal......" Xiang Tao also hurriedly added, but when he saw Qin Fang shaking his head, he hurriedly said: "Don't shake your head, think about it, these two hundred people, you are the only one who understands medical skills, if you fall ill, who will you go to when you get sick?" Not to mention anything else, it is the situation of the company commander in front of you, and you also need to take care of it......

"Xiao Xiang is right, Lao Zhang's situation doesn't seem to be able to get better in a while, even if you have to take care of him, you have to pay attention to your body, otherwise, after Lao Zhang wakes up, when he learns about this situation, he won't scold us to death?"

Qin Fang thought about it, and felt that Zhang Qingshan's situation was indeed not a matter of a while, and he couldn't be too anxious, otherwise, if he fell, who would take care of Zhang Qingshan?

"Okay, I'll sleep for a while. ”

The clever Zhou Bao 'Jade' hurriedly went to spread a big leather coat for Qin Fang.

But Qin Fang was a little unhappy when he saw that Zhou Bao's 'jade' place was more than ten meters away from here.

"Bao 'jade', don't shop so far, just shop here......" Qin Fang pointed to Zhang Qingshan's side and said, "I'm closer to my brother-in-law, if there is any situation, I can also treat it as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Bao 'Yu' looked at everyone, and seeing that everyone didn't speak, he glanced at Qin Fang again, so he had to follow Qin Fang's words.

After Qin Fang lay down, he glanced at Zhang Qingshan beside him, and after closing his eyes, he fell asleep in a few breaths. But it makes people feel pity from the heart: how tired does this have to make her fall asleep so quickly? But it also reflects Qin Fang's tenacity and perseverance from the other side.

Zhou Ping, who saw all this in his eyes, gave Zhou Bao 'jade' and Xiang Tao a 'look', and after taking them aside, he said solemnly: "I won't say more, you two know the situation better than anyone else." Now, I will 'hand' you two a task: not only to take care of Comrade Zhang Qingshan, but also to take care of Comrade Qin Fang. If anything goes wrong, I'll ask you both. ”

"Yes......!

"Shh~!" Zhou Ping hurriedly made a silent gesture, looked back again, and saw that Qin Fang was not woken up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the two of them: "Give you two another task: Before Comrade Qin Fang wakes up by himself, no sound is allowed within ten meters around." Got it?"

The two learned to be obedient, not to speak, but to nod in unison.

When I came to Peng Peng's side, I saw Peng Peng standing beside Zhang Qingshan, looking at it in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Zhou Ping touched Peng Peng, made a look, and the two walked away.

Subsequently, Liu Bing was found again, and the three of them stood not far away, discussing in a low voice that no one knew, but today's breakfast was about half an hour later than the usual time. Moreover, after breakfast, a party group meeting was held, and it was determined that Liu Bing was temporarily the acting company commander (he was the first deputy company commander of this patchwork company). This meeting is very simple, it is nothing more than the redistribution of the work that was previously in charge of Zhang Qingshan during Zhang Qingshan's illness. However, the meeting lasted forty or fifty minutes.

Others didn't understand why today's breakfast and meeting were a little delayed, but Xiang Tao and Zhou Bao 'Yu' were extremely moved in their hearts, because they knew that all of this was to let Qin Fang sleep a little longer.

In fact, they couldn't bear to disturb Qin Fang, let alone others. Not to mention that eating is a person guarding one person to eat, that is, someone occasionally passes by here, and after twenty or thirty meters, they will run over and specially remind others to take a detour...... For this task, they can be described as meticulous.

But no matter how hard you fight, the troops will always set off, and Qin Fang's sleep will definitely be disturbed.

"Sister Xiaofang, Sister Xiaofang......"

As soon as Zhou Bao's 'jade' screamed twice, Qin Fang opened his eyes suddenly, but saw bloodshot eyes, which were obviously caused by serious lack of sleep and long-term lack of nutrition.

However, after Qin Fang opened his eyes, he didn't even have time to lift the big leather coat on his body, sat up, and turned his head to look at Zhang Qingshan. Then she 'touched' Zhang Qingshan's forehead, checked it, and made sure that Zhang Qingshan's breathing was stable and fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still looked at Zhou Bao 'Yu' with some uncertainty, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Bao 'Yu', my brother-in-law woke up just now?"

"No, the eldest brother is still in a coma. ”

"And what do you tell me to do?"

"Sister Xiaofang, the troops are going to continue to set off......"

Also without waiting for Zhou Bao 'jade' to finish speaking, Qin Fang lifted his big leather coat and said as he stood up: "Then it's time for me to get up too." ”

"It's not this, Sister Xiaofang, it's like this. Zhou Bao 'Yu' hurriedly said: "At the meeting just now, everyone unanimously decided that because you have been taking care of the wounded for a long time and are tired, and now you are taking care of your eldest brother day and night...... In order to allow you to sleep a little longer, please go to sleep on horseback. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the people and horses around him and said, "Look, even the horses have been brought to you." ”

Following the direction of Zhou Bao's 'jade' finger and turning to look, Qin Fang realized that in addition to the three of them, there was also a horse and Xiao Wu of the medical team.

Before she could speak, Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Xiao Fang, don't look at me like that, I came to escort you this time on the decision of the party committee." ”

Xiang Tao on the side also smiled: "Comrade Xiaofang, you just have to sleep peacefully on horseback, Xiao Wu and I will protect you and promise not to let you fall off the horse." ”

"Thank you, but the problem is, I don't know how to ride a horse, so you should take the horse back and let the comrades who need it more go to ride." ”

Anything is afraid of a traitor, especially a very clever traitor. No, as soon as Qin Fang's words fell, Zhou Bao's 'jade' acted as a 'villain', and he opened his mouth and said: "Sister Xiaofang, don't lie to people, when I was in Wujiabao, I saw you riding a horse......"

"Yes, Xiaofang, you see that your eyes are bloodshot and thin, don't pretend, otherwise, if you say that, you will be tired, and we will not take care of patients like the company commander...... Besides, now, apart from Camp Commander Li, Brother Zhang and Lao Wu, how can there be any patients?"

As soon as Zhang Qingshan was spoken, Qin Fang couldn't help but glance at Zhang Qingshan, thought about it, nodded, and asked, "I remember that the supplies on this horse are still a little ......."

Battalion Commander Li was injured on the buttocks and couldn't ride a horse, Zhang Qingshan was similar, only Wu Shaohong had to ride a horse because of a hamstring problem. In addition, the consumption of materials is almost over, and there are more than 100 people, and it is not a matter for one person to carry a little on his back. Besides, with a total of four horses, it is easy to separate a horse.

As soon as the comrades heard that you fell asleep from exhaustion, they were very worried, no, as soon as they heard that this horse was going to be left to you, everyone rushed to distribute the supplies on the horse...... Look, aren't those comrades carrying those supplies on their backs?"

Qin Fang nodded, yawned, and said with a smile: "That's okay, I'll enjoy it for a while." However, since you want to sleep, you have to get a good night's sleep. Brother Xiang, Xiao Wu, you two don't have to guard me, just find a rope to tie me to the horse. ”

"How's that going to work?"

"Why can't it work?" Qin Fang's eyes widened, and the brutal 'sex' came up again, and said, "I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm used to sleeping like this, can't I?"

Xiao Wu muttered very unruly, "But you just said that you can't ride a horse", which caused several people to laugh.
