Chapter 183 Cross-checking, no interference
Waiting is always tormenting. On the third night, Lu Youyou slept a full night's sleep, but still woke up before dawn.
The hospital was still quiet, with smoke rising from the cafeteria in the backyard. She still had no appetite, so she changed her clothes and went back to the old place.
There was a figure in military uniform standing at the door of the ICU. Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that someone had arrived earlier than her.
"Comrade Li, good morning."
The soldier who was sitting upright at the door immediately stood up and saluted: "Hello, sister-in-law."
"Why are you here so early?"
Li Mingde said seriously, "The doctor said that Comrade Gu can be transferred to the general ward today. I came here in advance to see if there is anything I can do to help."
Soon, Lu Youyou discovered that there was not only Li Mingde here. Five minutes later, a female soldier ran up to the third floor with a lunch box.
"Comrade Lu, would you like to have breakfast?"
Only then did Lu Youyou realize what Luo Tiejun meant by "handover work". For every Shen Shilling left, a whole squad of people would be brought in to take care of the hero and his family in all aspects without any blind spots.
The word "hero" was not made up by Lu Youyou. Yesterday, Luo Tiejun deliberately stayed for a while before leaving. Not only Gu Qingye, but also her, was given a name, and it was said that she would be internally commended later.
At first, Lu Youyou thought that Luo Tiejun was just mentioning it casually, but the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Did he promise her too much? He actually said that she could choose any research institute in the military region.
Shen Xianling just asked yesterday whether to send a female comrade over, and there was a female comrade in the team that took over, and she was a nurse in the field hospital.
The three people waited at the door for a while, and finally someone came. Qi Simiao was the first to come, followed by a team of doctors.
"Comrade Lu, if the examination is OK, Comrade Gu Qingye can be transferred to the ward later. I'll go in first."
"Thank you for your help, Dean Qi."
After the doctor went in, Li Mingde made a few gestures into the darkness, and soon several people in green military uniforms appeared, waiting in unison to serve as porters.
Only then did Lu Youyou realize that there were so many of their own people hiding in the hospital.
Did Gu Qingye perform a remarkable feat, or was that mysterious cloth bag so important that the security standards were so high?
About twenty minutes later, a bed was pushed out from the door.
Lu Youyou's steps forward suddenly stopped.
Except for his head which was intact, Gu Qingye's entire body was wrapped in gauze, with almost no exposed skin visible.
He had a respirator on his face and his eyes were closed. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Lu Youyou wouldn't even be able to confirm that he was still alive.
"Dean Qi?"
Lu Youyou opened her mouth only to realize how hoarse her voice was.
"The patient is still very weak and needs to rest. Don't worry."
Qi Simiao's words failed to comfort her. Only by seeing it with her own eyes did she know how serious Gu Qingye's injuries were.
When he was found on the island, only his injured leg was exposed, but little did they know that there was almost no intact part of Gu Qingye's body!
Lu Youyou approached slowly, but his raised hand could not be lowered.
Gu Qingye's face was pale. He was usually a perceptive person, but now he was unaware of the approach of others.
Lu Youyou didn't move, and the men in green military uniforms didn't want to act rashly when seeing her like this.
Seeing this, Qi Simiao wanted to say something to persuade them, but before he could open his mouth, Lu Youyou had already taken her hand back.
She lowered her head, unable to see the expression on her face: "Let's go."
Everyone looked at the boss. Qi Simiao waved his hand, and the sound of the wheels rolling continued.
Qi Simiao walked up to Lu Youyou and said, "As long as you take good care of yourself, you will recover."
Lu Youyou nodded silently.
She knew that some questions would not have answers no matter how hard she tried. What does it mean to recover? Can she recover as before? Will there be any sequelae in the future?
I have used the best doctors and the best medicine, but they still cannot give me a 100% definite answer.
The ward arranged for Gu Qingye was right next to Lu Youyou. The doctors and nurses adjusted the infusion needle and equipment and went out, leaving Lu Youyou alone in the room.
I have known Gu Qingye for so long, but he has never been so quiet, so quiet that it seems as if I can't feel this person's presence.
Lu Youyou looked at the man on the hospital bed.
Gu Qingye, do you regret it?
The room was silent, with only the beeping sound of the monitor responding to her.
Lu Youyou lowered her eyes and saw Gu Qingye's left hand in her sight. The veins on the back of his hand were strong and became more prominent because he was thin.
Lu Youyou reached out and touched it gently, and her fingertips shivered as if they were pricked.
In my memory, Gu Qingye's palms were always dry and warm, not cold like they are now.
Lu Youyou suddenly felt a lump in her throat and tears fell without warning, leaving a trail of snowflakes on the white bed sheet.
There was a knock on the door behind her, and she quickly wiped her eyes: "Come in."
Li Mingde did not enter the house, but motioned Lu Youyou to step aside to talk.
"Comrade Lu, two comrades from the military region are looking for you."
"Now?"
"Yes, downstairs."
Lu Youyou turned around and glanced at the ward, and Li Mingde immediately said, "We will definitely take good care of Comrade Gu, please rest assured!"
"Then I'll trouble you."
"It's my duty. Please rest assured!"
Lu Youyou went downstairs and saw two people in green military uniforms she had never seen before in the hall. It was not until she got in the car that she knew why the military district was looking for her.
"Checking diving equipment?"
Lu Youyou's eyes suddenly narrowed.
It was an unusual request, and she had a hard time keeping herself from thinking about other things.
The two of them didn't say anything more and walked her in silence to a two-story building.
There was no sign at the door, and she didn't know which unit it belonged to. Only the armed guard post could prove that this must be a unit of the military region.
In a room on the second floor, Lu Youyou was surprised to find an old acquaintance sitting by the window.
"Fang Xiang, why are you here?"
"Team leader?" Fang Xiang was also stunned when he saw Lu Youyou. "I didn't know. They suddenly notified me that the military region had a mission, so they brought me here."
Fang Xiang was inexplicably taken onto the helicopter, and he was nervous, thinking that he had made some big mistake.
Now that he saw an acquaintance, Fang felt relieved. At least the team leader wouldn't make the same mistake with him.
"Please wait a moment, both of you."
One of the soldiers in uniform stayed in the room, and the other was out for five minutes. When he came back, he brought several people with him and brought two large boxes.
Two diving suits, one intact and one with multiple damages.
"Please check these two sets of equipment and issue an inspection report for each."
After hearing this, Lu Youyou became even more certain that what she had heard was true.
Seeing Fang Xiang was confused, Lu Youyou said, "Nothing, don't think too much, just start working."
It was not until nightfall that Lu Youyou finished writing the last line. The two soldiers were still the ones handing over the work. She never saw Fang Xiang again and didn't know whether he was still there.
Two sets of equipment, two different rooms, two people cross-checking without interfering with each other.
In other words, these are two completely independent reports.
So serious?
