Chapter 468: The Dilemma of Platoon 168
Speaking of this, Bai Mei couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked cautiously: "Still no news about Shao Yu?"
Everyone in the family knew that Yan Shaoyu had gone to the front line, but no one dared to mention it on weekdays, for fear of arousing her anxiety.
Gu Yuehuai lowered her eyes and shook her head. It had been nearly half a year and there had been no news from Yan Shaoyu. She had written letters to the military district and even sent a few letters to Xu Chuangu. Unfortunately, nothing went into the sea and there was no response at all.
She didn't know whether it was because the battle situation on the front line was too concealed or if something unexpected happened in the middle.
Bai Mei sighed and moved her lips slightly, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but she couldn't bring herself to say them. On the front line, the situation was changing rapidly and no one knew what would happen. There were many unlucky people who had lost their lives.
Gu Yuehuai changed his clothes and said to Bai Mei, "Go get busy."
The reason she could stay safely in Qing'an County was because of her confidence that Yan Shaoyu had lived safely to the end in her previous life. Tian Jing had no connection with Yan Shaoyu, and he was far away in the capital, so it was impossible to change his fate without anyone intervening.
But after half a year, there was no news. She was really worried and her patience was almost exhausted.
Bai Mei glanced at her and seeing that her expression didn't change, she put her worries aside, changed her clothes and went out.
Gu Yuehuai went to Li Ziyan's office. He was reading the medical records with his eyelids lowered. When he heard the noise, he looked up at Gu Yuehuai, and a soft light suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Yuehuai is here. Have you gotten used to it after this month?"
Gu Yuehuai suppressed his emotions and said softly, "Doctor Li is too polite. I have learned a lot from you."
After hearing this, Li Ziyan smiled bitterly and shook his head, nodding at Gu Yuehuai and said, "You, you're giving me face when it's just the two of us? I know your talent. You were born to be a dinner boy. You have a long life ahead of you."
Gu Yuehuai didn't say anything. After a while, Li Ziyan said, "There is no surgery today. You have been working hard for a few days, so you should take a rest."
However, just as he finished speaking, there were urgent footsteps in the corridor, and someone kept shouting: "Doctor Li! Doctor Li! A patient has been sent in, with chest and abdominal fractures!"
Li Ziyan's face became serious, and he immediately stood up and said to Gu Yuehuai: "Let's go to the operating room!"
When the old man and the young man arrived at the operating room, they saw a man wailing on the operating table. He was about thirty years old, with his eyes closed and his face pale. The pain from the broken chest was making him very painful.
Li Ziyan was an old hand at curing illnesses and saving lives. He quickly prescribed the right medicine and began to relieve his pain. He then used manipulation to reposition the joint and pull the skin and flesh. Gu Yuehuai assisted from the side, and the wailing sounds in the operating room gradually became lower.
The operation lasted for two hours, and the man on the operating table fell into a deep sleep.
When Gu Yuehuai was sorting out the remaining medical supplies, he saw the name taped to the man's operating bed: He Hongzhang.
Her eyes flickered slightly as she took a serious look at the man on the hospital bed. Although he was not as handsome as He Lanzhang, he was not bad overall. He also had some similarities between his eyebrows and those of He Lanzhang. It seemed that the two were really brothers.
Due to the comradeship between He Lan, Zhang Yu and Yan Shaoyu, she couldn't help but pay more attention to He Hongzhang.
She remembered that He Hongzhang was also a big shot in a certain military region, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to easily stuff his brothers into the Eighth Military Region. Did he know some news about the front line? This thought made Gu Yuehuai's heart move slightly, and she felt a little more hopeful.
She also knew that news from the front line was a military secret and He Hongzhang might not tell it.
However, if she used her identity as the military doctor of the Eighth Military Region, she should be able to extract some useful information from him, even if it was just a little bit, to let her know whether Yan Shaoyu was safe. That would be enough. Otherwise, she would always be worried and uncomfortable.
He Hongzhang had chest and abdominal fractures and needed to be hospitalized for a few days. During this period, Gu Yuehuai was responsible for his physical examination.
The day after the operation, Gu Yuehuai came to check on the patient with the medical records. Before he even entered the ward, he heard He Hongzhang's angry voice: "Waste, waste! You can't even find a single person. What's the point of me spending money to support you?!"
Gu Yuehuai looked a little stern and stood at the door without rushing to open it.
Soon, an embarrassed male voice sounded in the room: "Secretary He, that place is close to Country M. It's been a chaotic time recently, and our people can't get close to the border. I really don't know where Comrade He is trapped."
He Hongzhang's voice was obviously full of suppressed anger, and he sounded ferocious: "What do you mean you don't know? The border is only that big!"
After hearing this, the male voice became even more embarrassed and lowered his voice to say, "Secretary He, the relationship between our Country Z and Country M has been a little delicate recently. There have been frequent battles on the front lines. Comrade He's 168th Platoon has made many military achievements in the past few months and has become a thorn in the side of Country M. Not to mention us, even Country M's army is looking for people in the mountains now. We can only avoid them."
"Bullshit! What are you trying to give in to? Just beat them! A bunch of foreigners!" He Hongzhang couldn't help but swear.
The male voice continued: "Secretary He, now is not the time to act on impulse...we..."
Before he could finish his words, He Hongzhang interrupted him: "Isn't this the time to act rashly? Then tell me what time is it now? If those foreign devils find him, will my brother be able to come back safely? Can he?!"
As He Hongzhang spoke, a series of crackling sounds were heard in the ward, followed by the sound of He Hongzhang gasping. It was obvious that his rage had pulled the bones in his chest, causing the wound to start hurting again.
The man's voice was tense, and he hurriedly asked, "Secretary He! How are you?!"
Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips, pushed the door open, and saw the middle-aged man standing beside He Hongzhang's bed.
The two of them looked up at the same time when they heard the noise. When they saw Gu Yuehuai, they frowned again. He Hongzhang was obviously a hot-tempered person. He shouted angrily: "Do you know how to knock on the door? Why are you barging in?!"
He Hongzhang lived in a single room. Although it was not decorated much, it still looked clean and spacious.
Gu Yuehuai didn't waste any words. With a cold face, he said directly: "Are the 168th platoon the new soldiers of the Eighth Military Region?"
She remembered that the last time Yan Shaoyu took on a mission, he was clearly carrying it out with the veterans of the army, and the newcomers were not eligible to participate. Why did the situation suddenly change? Was there any connection between the 168th Platoon where He Lanzhang was and Yan Shaoyu?
When she thought of Yan Shaoyu being trapped in the mountains by people from Country M, she couldn't calm down.
"You eavesdropped on our conversation?!" He Hongzhang's eyes were bloodshot and he looked at Gu Yuehuai with gritted teeth.
Gu Yuehuai was too lazy to argue with others. He took out his military doctor's letter of introduction from the Xumi space under the cover of his white coat pocket and spread it in front of He Hongzhang: "I am the military doctor who has not yet taken office in the Eighth Military Region, and I am also a friend of He Hongzhang."
He Hongzhang frowned, and the middle-aged man next to him took a closer look and saw that the letter of introduction was signed with Xu Chuangu's official seal.
His expression changed and he whispered something in He Hongzhang's ear.
He Hongzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Gu Yuehuai up and down. He couldn't understand why such a county doctor was involved with Xu Chuangu, the head of the Eighth Military Region, but the letter of introduction was real and not forged.
