Fan Shengnan walked out of the command room angrily, took a few steps and then turned back angrily.
She handed the medicine in her hand to the guard at the door and said with a blushing face:
"...His blood pressure is high and won't come down quickly. He needs to take this medicine twice more. Please remind him to take it every four hours."
"Okay, got it, Doctor Fan."
The guard looked at Fan Shengnan's back as she walked away in big strides and curled his lips helplessly.
He was really puzzled. Captain Fan was fair and upright, and Doctor Fan was friendly and easy-going. It was obvious that the two of them were easy to talk to when they were alone, but for some reason, whenever they met, they would start arguing within three sentences.
He walked in with the medicine, and Fan Yingguang had a fierce look on his face:
"Where did the person go? Did you file the report? Forget it! I'd better just call and be quick!"
......
The next morning, it was drizzling.
Liu Jincai and three soldiers put on raincoats and stepped into the dense forest. Their purpose this time was to find Shi Tou and the communications soldier to confirm whether the mission was successfully completed. If the two of them really had an accident, they would also try their best to find the radio equipment and make another effort to contact the command center.
The four of them searched in the dense forest towards Leigongyan. When they reached a position close to the center of the dense forest, they suddenly found movement in the bushes ahead.
This time, several people had made preparations in advance. After exchanging glances, they quickly lowered their bodies. Each of them drew out the short blade at their waist, placed it in front of them vigilantly, and stared intently at the bushes that were shaking abnormally.
After a while, a short, black creature crawled out from the bushes.
The soldier closest to it thought it was some kind of wild beast and jumped up to stab it with his sword, but at the critical moment Liu Jincai stopped him and shouted:
"Stop! It's a human!"
When the "thing" heard Liu Jincai's shout, it raised its head a beat late and stared blankly at the few people who suddenly appeared in the dense forest. It was obvious that it had not fully reacted yet.
When Liu Jincai saw him, he was immediately overjoyed and stepped forward to hug his shoulders:
"Why are you here? Where's the stone? Is it behind?"
It turned out that the "thing" was the young communications soldier wearing a black raincoat. He had fallen many times along the way and was covered in mud, dead branches and leaves. He had just crawled out of the bushes using his hands and feet. His eyes were red and swollen, and he could not see clearly who was in front of him. His brain was like a mess and he almost stopped thinking.
Seeing that he didn't answer like a fool, Liu Jincai stretched his neck to look back:
"Where's the Stone Man? How did he fall behind you?"
The other soldiers were also very happy to see the signalman and asked eagerly:
"How's it going? Did the radio signal get through?"
Hearing several people asking about the mission, the young signalman nodded blankly:
"Platoon Leader Hao said...it's been sent out..."
“That’s great!”
Liu Jincai slapped him on the shoulder with joy:
"Once it's sent out, everyone will be saved! Why are you still looking so gloomy? I'm asking you a question, where's the stone? You two are really good, you'll definitely be awarded at least a third-class merit when you go back!"
The young signalman was almost knocked down by his slap. After he stood still, he looked up with tears in his eyes.
This scene confused Liu Jincai. This guy was made to cry by a slap from him?
He didn't use much strength?
"I'm asking you a question, why are you crying..."
Before Liu Jincai finished speaking, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and his expression changed immediately:
"Something happened to the stone?!"
Even if he was slow-witted, he realized that something was wrong. Based on his understanding of stones, he would never let the young signalman go back through the dense forest alone unless it was absolutely necessary.
The young signalman seemed to have just come to his senses, recognized who it was, and suddenly burst into tears:
"Liu Lieutenant, you guys are here! Platoon Leader Hao, he's dying... Woo... Woo..."
The young soldier's words were like a thunderclap on Liu Jincai's head. Did something really happen to Hao Shitou?!
"Don't cry yet! Tell me clearly what's going on!"
The little soldier sobbed and said:
"Platoon Leader Hao climbed up Leigong Rock yesterday to send a radio signal, but was struck by lightning and fell from mid-air."
"When I found him, he was fine, able to talk and laugh. He even said he would leave for the refugee area at daybreak."
"As a result...As a result, this morning, when I talked to him, he didn't respond..."
"I can't move him by myself, so I have to walk back alone. I want to quickly get to the disaster area and find someone to rescue Platoon Leader Hao."
"But I'm so stupid. Platoon Leader Hao taught me so many methods, but I still stumble every time I take a step in the woods. It takes me a long time to reach the shelter... Woo woo..."
The young communications soldier was crying so hard that his words were incoherent. Liu Jincai felt anxious and could only guess that Shitou's condition must be bad and he had to be taken to the evacuation area for treatment as soon as possible.
"We're here to find you! Come on, take me to him!"
The young soldier nodded continuously. Seeing Liu Jincai and others, it was like seeing hope.
Under his leadership, Liu Jincai and others found Shi Tou lying on the platform. He was covered with a raincoat by a young soldier, and an obviously damaged radio equipment was placed next to him.
Looking at the stone lying there motionless, Liu Jincai's Adam's apple rolled up and down, his heart tightened, and his hands that reached out to lift up the raincoat couldn't help but tremble.
He gritted his teeth and pulled open the raincoat, only to see that Shi Tou's face was pale, his eyes were closed, his lips had lost all color, and his chest could hardly be seen breathing up and down. Even his fingertips were white from being soaked by the rain, and he looked completely lifeless.
Liu Jincai's fingers trembled as he reached under Shitou's nose, and the hearts of the people around him rose to their throats with his movements.
Suddenly, Liu Jincai let out a long sigh and shouted loudly:
"Quick! He's still breathing! Get him back to the evacuation area!"
When everyone heard this, it was like a shot of adrenaline and they immediately took action.
Since there was no stretcher, they took off their raincoats, stacked four layers of raincoat together, tied the cuffs and trouser legs tightly, placed the stone in the middle of the raincoat, held one cuff and one trouser leg each, and ran back.
The young communications soldier also took off his raincoat and covered Shitou with it, then followed closely behind him holding the broken radio equipment.
The rain was getting heavier, but it couldn't stop the people from running. They ran wildly in the rain regardless of everything, and didn't slow down even when their cheeks, arms and thighs were scratched by the sharp hooks on the branches in the forest.
They had only one thought in their minds—faster! Faster!
