Chapter 39 Adding insult to injury



Shi didn't dare to blink, just stared at Xiao Yue's embarrassed figure as he saluted, feeling somewhat touched.

When Xiao Yue got into trouble in her previous life, she had already joined the Yandu Art Troupe, traveling around the country every day to participate in art performances, choirs and dance teams, and was far ahead in her mission to become more beautiful. When she learned the news, Yandu was already in chaos.

Xia Yun disappeared, Xiao Yue was disfigured and lame, his background was exposed, and he left Yandu. One thing after another caused the once glorious Xiao family to fall apart. She only heard about it from others later but didn't see it with her own eyes. How could she have such a memory?

"It's all your fault! As a commander, you failed to protect your team members during a mission!"

"Yes! You are the culprit! Why did you give the order? My Liangzi, he is only in his twenties!"

"Kill a life for a life! With so many lives lost, how can you, as the battalion commander, escape responsibility?"

"..."

When Shi was hesitant, a cry mixed with insults rang out, and then rotten vegetable leaves, stones, and sand all flew towards Xiao Yue. He still maintained the posture of saluting, without moving, allowing those things to hit him.

The stones hit his scarred face, causing more blood to seep out, but no one cared that he was also covered in wounds.

Suddenly, the crowd rushed over from her side, and the heartbroken military relatives beat Xiao Yue. Captain Xiao, who used to be as gentle as water and as kind as spring breeze, fell down in a mess, and fists fell on his body like raindrops. He curled up in pain under the punches and kicks. The high platform was already dyed red, and the soldiers stationed around hurried forward to stop it.

Shiye's expression changed and he couldn't help but move an inch.

Her gaze passed through numerous obstacles and met Xiao Yue, who was curled up on the high platform with his body lying sideways.

He lay there motionless, like a broken piece of jade. His face, with its exposed red flesh, looked horrible. His beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with death and despair, and his brows were filled with pain. It seemed as if he would turn into smoke and dust in the next moment and disappear from the world.

"Xiao Yue..." Shiye's eyes moved. Even though he was resentful towards him, his anger subsided a lot after seeing this scene.

Although this was just a dream, it was obviously a painful memory that Xiao Yue had actually experienced.

Suddenly, Shiye's expression changed. Dream? Why did she dream about what Xiao Yue had experienced personally?

After the system's prompt, she also knew that Xiao Yue was now in a state of awakening memories from her previous life. At this sensitive juncture, she also dreamed of these things, which was not a good sign.

The next moment, Shiya discovered that everyone around him had disappeared, and the whole world had undergone a drastic change.

"Perform CPR immediately! Keep the airway open! Call the anesthesiologist!"

An anxious voice reached his ears, and Shiye opened his eyes. What came into view was the operating room. On a small operating table, Xiao Yue was lying there with a ventilator on. His chest was rising and falling very weakly. Shiye was stunned: "Is this the infirmary?"

"Aunt Xiulian?" Shiye's eyes changed slightly. This was actually the medical room of the Border Defense Corps, not Yandu.

So the turmoil among the military family caused Xiao Yue's injuries to worsen, and he didn't have time to return to Yandu for surgery?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation means that Xiao Yue's breathing and heartbeat suddenly stopped, which shows how critical the situation is.

After all, Shiye now has ten years of surgical experience and is very familiar with the professional terminology used during surgery.

"Signs of infection found! Immediately expand the incision and clean it! Use antibiotics!"

Shi stood beside the operating table and watched the emergency treatment of Xiao Yue carefully. But the more she watched, the colder she felt. She looked at Li Xiulian with a strange look in her eyes. As the surgeon in charge and experienced, why did she remove Xiao Yue's uninfected tissue? The nerves in his legs were damaged, and there was no possibility of recovery.

Why did Li Xiulian do this? In the previous life, how much of Xiao Yue's fall from grace was due to human factors?

A horrible dream in a bloody operating room made Shi Ye's heart heavy. Looking at Li Xiu Lian's gentle eyes and thinking of Xiao Yue who was going crazy, he realized how much he had missed in his previous life when he was far away in Yandu.

Things are unpredictable. If she was still a layman in surgery, she would not be able to see the conspiracy during Li Xiu Lian's operation.

But she understood that this was not a surgical accident, but a premeditated disaster!

Suddenly, the surroundings moved again.

When Shiya opened her eyes, she found herself in a spacious single room again.

Xiao Yue was lying on the bed, wrapped in gauze. Standing at the foot of the bed was Li Xiulian, who was wearing a white coat and a mask. Her eyes were filled with pity, but her words were icy cold: "Captain Xiao, we understand how heavy this news is for you, but amputation is the best option at the moment to prevent the infection from getting worse, otherwise it will be life-threatening."

Shi also held his breath and looked at Xiao Yue lying on the hospital bed. Even though he knew it was a dream, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy.

She clearly saw Xiao Yue slowly curling up his fist, the knuckles turning white and carrying a bone-eating pain.

"Captain Xiao, please think about this carefully." After saying this, Li Xiu Lian left the ward.

Xiao Yue stood motionless, staring at the roof with numb eyes. After a moment, there was a knock on the door, but he still didn't move.

After a while, the door was pushed open and a middle-aged man in military uniform with a straight posture came in.

Shi also looked carefully at his shoulder straps and rank, and was a little surprised to find that he was actually the division commander of the army, a real corps head.

"Comrade Xiao Yue." The commander walked to the bedside and felt a little heartbroken when he saw the state of his beloved general.

Hearing his voice, Xiao Yue finally moved. He turned his head and even struggled to sit up.

"Okay, now... just lie down. I came here because I have something to tell you." The commander sighed, pulled a chair over and sat down beside the bed. But looking at Xiao Yue who was unable to move, he could not speak for a long time.

Xiao Yue's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and he said calmly: "Commander, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Comrade Xiao Yue, you always rush to the front in every dangerous mission. This time, you cleared obstacles for the Corps and made great contributions. We all know it, and the people know it too. But the families of the comrades from the Hurricane Battalion who died can't accept the reality and are making trouble in the Corps every day. In addition to your current injuries... Sigh..."

"Comrade Xiao Yue, the Corps has decided to transfer you back to Yandu to recuperate."

"We know that the major accident during this mine-clearing mission was not your fault, and we are very grateful for your contribution to the country and the army, but for the sake of your health, we can only make this decision with great pain."

Shi Ye looked at the leader who was persuading Xiao Yue with a somewhat stiff expression.

Although Xiao Yue's current situation meant that he had to leave the Northwest, but coming out to persuade him at this time was like adding insult to injury, the last straw that broke the camel's back. How painful must he have been at that time? Physical pain and mental pain followed one after another. If it were her, she would probably not be able to bear it for even a minute or a second.
