Chapter 14 Have you found my wife?

Just when Shi Xiaoai was worrying about her empty wallet, Cheng Yang opened his eyes in the Hanshan Military Hospital more than a thousand kilometers away.

Seeing him wake up, Qian Yingming, who was accompanying him, was so excited that he almost jumped up!

He didn't even bother to pay attention to Cheng Yang. He limped to the door of the ward and shouted to the corridor: "Doctor, doctor, Cheng Yang is awake! Cheng Yang is awake!"

Cheng Yang, who was lying on the hospital bed and unable to move, felt a headache from his shouting and closed his eyes again in silence.

Soon, hurried footsteps were heard outside the ward, and then his bed was surrounded by a crowd.

A group of doctors surrounded him, fiddling with instruments and asking him about his feelings...

Cheng Yang gritted his teeth and answered one by one, and only let out a long sigh after the group left.

"How about it? Do you want some water?" Qian Yingming walked back to his side.

Cheng Yang shook his head and asked in a hoarse voice, "How long has it been since I had the surgery?"

"Three days."

Qian Yingming glanced at the watch on his wrist and added with lingering fear: "To be exact, it was 73 hours and 45 minutes. Do you know that you almost scared everyone to death?"

Cheng Yang twitched his lips slightly: "I'm alive now, what am I afraid of?"

Qian Yingming didn't respond.

What are you afraid of?

How can I not be afraid?

Cheng Yang didn't know it while he was in a coma, but Qian Yingming knew it clearly. The doctor's office phone was blowing up with calls these days!

All the calls were about Cheng Yang's condition.

The first question everyone asked when they called was almost identical: "How's he? Are you awake? Is he still in danger?"

You can’t blame everyone for being nervous, it’s just that Cheng Yang’s injury this time was too serious.

He was injured when he encountered a comrade accidentally touching a mine pit while performing a mine clearance mission and caused a mine explosion while trying to save his comrade.

In the two and a half months after being injured, he underwent four operations and had 32 shrapnel removed from his body.

The most dangerous one was taken from less than five centimeters away from the heart. In the doctor's words,

If Cheng Yang hadn't been lucky, this piece of flesh would have killed him!

Not only that, due to the poor conditions of the field hospital and the lack of rigorous post-operative disinfection, Cheng Yang developed an infection after an operation a week ago, had a high fever, and went into shock several times.

Because he was a combat hero and had been awarded first-class merit, the head of the army personally ordered someone to send him to the Hanshan Military Region General Hospital for a second operation.

And because he slammed the table and said he would save the hero's life at all costs!

——But it is so difficult to save this life.

Before the operation, the doctor said that the operation was not technically difficult, and the biggest problem was that his body was too weak after such a long period of exhaustion.

No one can say whether he can survive in the end. It all depends on whether his body can withstand it.

Qian Yingming was a soldier of the same year as Cheng Yang. They had fought on the same battlefield, but were assigned to different units.

If he hadn't met Cheng Yang here, he wouldn't have known that this guy was still on the front line!

You have to know that their contemporaries have already changed their defenses several times.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to be thankful that Cheng Yang was lucky enough to live until now, or to feel sorry for his bad luck as he was almost blown into a sieve!

Cheng Yang is from the Red Eagle Regiment. Their regiment is a sharp knife at the forefront of the army and must always charge at the forefront.

After his comrades saw him off, he still had to rush to the front line.

Knowing that Cheng Yang had no one to look after him, Qian Yingming took the initiative to take on the task of taking care of him.

After all, he just accidentally broke his leg during daily training and is now in a cast. It is not a problem for one person to take care of such a minor injury.

"Thank you for your hard work these days." Seeing that Qian Yingming remained silent, Cheng Yang smiled at him with difficulty.

"Why are you being so polite to me?"

Qian Yingming brought the teacup to Cheng Yang's mouth and found a small spoon to feed him some warm water little by little.

Cheng Yang drank a few sips reluctantly, then shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to drink anymore.

Seeing Qian Yingming put the teacup away, he finally asked again, "Have you had any news for me in the past two days?"

Qian Yingming knew that Cheng Yang was asking about news about his family.

It has been five years since Cheng Yang went to the battlefield and has not left the front line for five years. He has not had the chance to contact his family.

If it weren't for this transfer and finally leaving the front line, he still wouldn't be able to ask the organization to help him find his family.

Looking at Cheng Yang's urgent eyes, Qian Yingming felt very uncomfortable.

But he still shook his head and said, "No, I guess I haven't found it yet."

The spark in Cheng Yang's eyes instantly went out.

Qian Yingming quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, we are too far away from your home. Whether it's writing a letter or sending a telegram, it will take time. Maybe there will be news in two days. Just wait a little longer."

"Well, no rush." Cheng Yang pursed his lips lightly.

But how can I not be anxious?

When he left, his wife was already three months pregnant. Five years have passed, and he has no idea what his wife and child are doing now.

His sudden departure without saying goodbye must have broken his wife's heart. She must hate him now, right?

Thinking of this, Cheng Yang's heart seemed to be stabbed, and the pain far exceeded the wound that had not yet healed.

Speaking of what happened back then, Cheng Yang really can’t be blamed.

The troops suddenly assembled in the middle of the night, and then trucks transported the entire battalion of new recruits onto a special train overnight...

They didn't know where they were going until the train started?

Not to mention the opportunity to take care of personal matters.

It was only when he and his comrades stepped onto the front line that they understood what had happened.

Cheng Yang grew up in a military compound. Although he went to the countryside early, his military quality was the best in the entire recruit company.

So not long after he arrived at the front line, he was picked by the sharp knife company and sent to the front.

Later, because of his outstanding performance, he not only joined the party at an early stage, but was also promoted repeatedly. Before he was injured this time, he had been promoted to a battalion-level cadre.

It was precisely because he was so highly valued that he was stationed at the front line for five years, never leaving for a single day, and had no chance to contact his family at all.

As a soldier, it is his duty to fight for his country, and Cheng Yang believes that he has done so.

But at the same time, he also realized that as a husband, he had seriously failed in his duties.

The thought of leaving my wife and child alone in that remote place, without any care for them for so many years...

The huge self-blame made Cheng Yang unable to lie in bed for even a minute!
