Before Qin Dongling arrived, we had already received a notice, so as soon as we got off the train, we met the people who came to pick us up.
The two men, who looked to be in their forties or fifties, held military ranks. When they saw Qin Dongling, they saluted: "Chief of the General Staff!"
Qin Dongling returned the greeting and looked them over. "You look stronger."
Just by looking at their familiar attitude, Jiang Yuman could guess that they were her father's old comrades-in-arms. They came to pick her up simply because they hadn't seen her for a long time and missed her.
"You look much better," they said happily, "but you'll have to go to the capital for treatment. It's a relief to be back."
Qin Dongling remained silent.
Seeing Jiang Yuman standing aside, he took the initiative to introduce the two people, "This is my daughter and grandson, Xiaoman, and this is your uncle Guan and uncle Zeng, both of whom are my former comrades-in-arms."
"Uncle Guan, Uncle Zeng." Jiang Yuman said politely.
Guan Yuncong and Zeng Xiaohai nodded repeatedly, and then reached out to help them with the luggage, taking over all of Sun Shifu's work.
On the way, the two talked for a while, and couldn't help turning around to look at Jiang Yuman. After all, this was their good brother's daughter, and in their eyes, she was almost the same as their own daughter.
I could also take a look at Xiaoyi, unable to hide my curiosity.
Jiang Yuman had been looking out the window. She had already drifted to the hospital. She was a little carsick, and even when she opened the window, she couldn't block out the sand and dust kicked up by the rear wheels.
By the time we arrived at the Border Defense Hospital, her jet-black hair had been stained with wind-blown sand. The moment she stepped out of the car, the bright light shone on her face, and one could seem to see a hint of sand on her snow-white skin.
"He has been hospitalized here since he was injured, but the injury on his back is quite serious. As long as the injury here is stabilized, we dare not talk about transferring him to another hospital." Guan Yuncong led them inside and said as he walked.
Looking up, the Border Defense Hospital is just a few simple, formal buildings with twelve red slogans on the walls: Serve the Country, Devote Yourself to the Mission, and Uphold Honor.
The medical conditions here are obviously far behind those of the divisional theater hospital, but the conditions for long-distance transfer are currently not available, so he can only recuperate here.
After hearing Guan Yuncong's words, Qin Dongling felt a little more relieved. It seemed that what they said on the phone was true and they did not deliberately conceal the injury.
"Will there be any sequelae?" she asked again.
There are many kinds of sequelae on the battlefield. In the past, a comrade had a back injury from a blast. Even if he recovered, he would feel a burning pain in his back all year round, which damaged his nerves and made him very sick.
"It depends on the individual's recovery," Guan Yuncong said, "but scarring is certain."
As they were talking, several people walked into the hospital.
Fu Siyi was too young, and Sun Shifu was afraid that he would be frightened, so he walked upstairs with him.
Jiang Yuman followed the others upstairs, and in the corridor, her heart began to beat wildly.
The entire floor of the ward was relatively quiet. When the nurse saw Guan Yuncong and others in military uniforms, she did not step forward to ask them. They walked smoothly to the door of their ward.
At that time, someone from Shenfengying was sitting next to the bed, apparently talking to Fu Jingchen.
After the conflict broke out, foreign troops knew they could not gain any advantage and completely stopped open provocations. I don't know whether they wanted to delay or ease the situation. Overall, the pressure is much less now.
After finishing their training, the other members of the Shenfeng Battalion would come to see the regiment commander and their meritorious comrades. But for fear of disturbing them, they would proceed in batches.
"Seeing the foreign troops laying mines there, my sniper charged in and started beating them to a pulp. But they were cunning! They had a backup plan before escaping. Luckily, the commander was very capable. Seeing the light above, he pulled out his gun and took out the man based on a hunch!"
"If this man hadn't been killed, that bullet would have hit the mines next to us!"
When they reached the door of the ward, Liu Cheng was chattering with his back to them.
Obviously, he was talking about what happened that night.
The others were fascinated by what they heard. "Then why did it explode in the end?"
"Just listen to me first."
Liu Cheng said, "...In a split second, the regimental commander suddenly said 'get down!' I immediately sensed something was wrong. It must be something wrong! I immediately pushed Ma Lao San away and pulled Fan Erlangzi down with me. If it weren't for me, would the two of us have reacted so quickly?"
"Damn it," Ma Lao San said sinisterly, "it turned out to be you who pushed me. If you hadn't pushed me, my leg injury might have been less serious."
Push it towards the mines. Isn't this just a trap?
"This is all an accident," Liu Cheng said, a little embarrassed. "At least I really helped Fan Erlangzi."
"How dare you say that," Fan Qiang angrily scolded. "With your jumping ability, you still have the nerve to pull me. If you didn't pull me, I could jump even farther on my own."
"If you want to brag, go outside and don't disturb the captain's rest."
The others couldn't help laughing, and the few people at the door couldn't help laughing as well.
Hearing the laughter, the people inside looked over here, saw Guan Yuncong and Zeng Xiaohai, and quickly stood up and saluted.
"Secretary Guan, Deputy Secretary Zeng."
Looking at Qin Dongling, they looked at each other, not knowing how to address him.
Just when I was struggling with the dilemma, I saw Jiang Yuman walking in.
Having just been through a long journey, her face and cascading hair were covered in dust, but these blemishes only made her skin appear even more porcelain-white and her features more picturesque.
Standing in this small ward, I feel out of place with everything around me.
Is sister-in-law really coming?
A group of tall and strong men looked at each other and glanced at Fu Jingchen who was standing sideways.
Fu Jingchen, who had closed his eyes while they were talking and laughing, had opened his eyes at this time and was also shocked to see her here.
"Come out, I want to ask you something." Guan Yuncong was very considerate.
Soon, everyone in the ward left, leaving the space for the couple who had not seen each other for a long time.
With a "click", the door closed.
Jiang Yuman stood still, looking as if she was frightened and as if she was relieved. The sour feeling at the tip of her nose and the bottom of her eyes spread to the back of her head, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
Seeing her eyes slightly red, Fu Jingchen, who was lying on his side, supported himself with his hands and sat up, as if to prove to her, "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury."
"Don't move." Jiang Yuman was startled, blinked, and tears fell, and her vision became much clearer.
She took a few steps forward, held Fu Jingchen's arm, frowned and gently scolded, "Don't you know how injured you are? What if you tear the wound if you move like this?"
When he was close, Fu Jingchen saw that her hair and the small hair on her face were all dusty, but her tear marks were clean, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"It's not that fragile." He reached out to wipe his wife's face, his voice lowering a little. "Manman, why are you here? It's so windy and sandy here, and so desolate."
I don't feel that being injured is that difficult, I just feel that my wife has suffered.
"Hearing you were injured, I wished I could grow wings and fly over here."
After a series of fears, Jiang Yuman finally saw Fu Jingchen, and she said, "It's not desolate here because you are here."
