"You came to our Country Y to help us, didn't you? Why can't you send us to a safe place?"
When Tang Ran and Luo Juan safely passed through the minefield, they happened to hear these words. The person who spoke was the man from Country Y named Aqiang who was in the village.
Luo Juan translated it to Tang Ran, but Tang Ran ignored A Qiang.
"Doctor Tang, hurry up and get in the car."
The man who came to pick up Tang Ran was there no matter when he rescued Liu Tinghan or when he took over the other person's camp. Zuo Yuan called him Xiao Gao.
"How is your leader now?"
"It's not good, let's hurry back."
It was possible to make a grown man choke up and be speechless, so one could imagine how bad the situation was. Tang Ran climbed into the car nimbly, not daring to delay for even a second.
When Aqiang on the ground saw Tang Ran, his skin tightened all over his body, but the people around him who had never seen Tang Ran continued to seek death.
"Your lives are lives, but our lives are not lives?"
Tang Ran didn't want to say anything more now. He took out a gun from his waist and fired directly at the empty space in front of the man's feet. Then he roared, "Get lost."
Although I don’t know what the other party said, it wasn’t anything good.
In the past, Tang Ran would rather not talk than fight if she could take action. Now the general principle has not changed, but the word "take action" has changed. Guns are really easy to use.
After solving the immediate trouble, the car drove all the way towards Zuo Yuan's camp.
Tang Ran was originally mentally prepared, but when she really saw Zuo Yuan, her heart still trembled. How could this be?
"Where are the legs? Where are Zuo Yuan's legs?!"
Zuo Yuan had fallen into a coma, his lower body covered in blood.
"The leader was hit by a bomb while trying to save people..."
"Everyone get out. Everyone get out."
Tang Ran's mind was full of only one thought: she wanted to keep Zuo Yuan alive, no matter what the cost.
After everyone left, Tang Ran released his light-based ability on Zuo Yuan's legs while beginning to check for injuries on other parts of his body.
Tang Ran didn't know how to describe it. There was not a single good spot on his body. He must have suffered a great deal.
It was clear that the two were fighting side by side not long ago. How long has it been since then, and they have become like this?
Tang Ran couldn't hold back any longer with the emotions of heartache and violence intertwined together, and she burst into tears. From sobbing quietly to crying loudly, she cried hysterically, which made those who were waiting outside feel very uncomfortable.
With Tang Ran around, Zuo Yuan's injuries would definitely be under control. As Tang Ran said, her life was saved, but she could do nothing about her legs.
Zuo Yuan woke up slowly in the evening of the next day. The first thing he did when he woke up was to be noticed by Tang Ran who was sleeping lightly in a chair beside him.
"Are you awake? Are you thirsty? I'll give you some water."
In front of Zuo Yuan, Tang Ran had never shown such a well-behaved expression.
"You're here. I was wondering why I didn't die. Thank you."
Tang Ran told herself not to cry, but her tears seemed to be disobedient and kept flowing out, so that her voice was full of nasal sounds.
"Come and drink some water. I'll hold you. Don't move."
Tang Ran was not afraid that Zuo Yuan's movements would tear the wound on his body, but she was afraid that Zuo Yuan would find out that his leg was missing, so she wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible.
"Are you crying? It's okay. It's just that I lost my leg. Being alive is already a surprise. I'm not that fragile."
When the explosion happened, Zuo Yuan saw with his own eyes that his legs were blown off. The pain and despair came at the same time. At that time, he thought he was going to die, but at the same time, he also felt that death was not bad. Without a leg, he would be a disabled person.
But when Tang Ran was treating him, he suddenly regained consciousness for a short time.
I couldn't open my eyes, but the pain in my body had eased. The wailing sound in my ears could not be ignored. I tried hard to distinguish it and found it was Tang Ran's voice.
His thoughts were in a mess, and Zuo Yuan felt like he must be dreaming, otherwise why would Tang Ran be by his side.
After waking up completely, Zuo Yuan knew that he was not dreaming. In just a moment, Zuo Yuan thought a lot. His life was saved by Tang Ran, and he could not let Tang Ran be sad because of his depression.
"Zuo Yuan, don't give up. There are still many ways to stand up again. Believe me."
"I believe you, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
"Yes, I'll have someone get it."
Tang Ran immediately stood up and greeted Xiao Gao. When he learned that Zuo Yuan had woken up, there was chaos outside. In everyone's mind, it was good enough as long as he was alive.
After watching Zuo Yuan drink a bowl of porridge, Tang Ran's heart was still in knots, because she knew that although Zuo Yuan looked indifferent on the surface, he must be very uncomfortable in his heart.
"I'm really fine, don't worry about me. Losing my legs is better than losing my life, right? I just can't stay on this battlefield for much longer. I'll probably be sent back home and won't be able to fight alongside you anymore."
Tang Ran lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
"Why do we have to fight?"
"Because of ambition and desire, only when the righteous side stands at the top can they suppress those with ambition and desire, and only then can there be true peace.
We are soldiers, and behind us is the country and the people. We are the country's first line of defense, so don't think too much, everything is worth it."
What Zuo Yuan said were all from his heart and also what he had always believed. While comforting Tang Ran, the haze that lingered in his heart also dissipated a lot.
"Compared to other soldiers who sacrificed their lives, I am already very lucky. Do you know how many soldiers in my camp alone sacrificed their lives before you came to the battlefield?
There are more than 400 soldiers in the camp now, and many of them are merged from other camps. The better ones can be buried, but some of them even have their bodies nowhere to be found. They can't even return home and are sleeping in this strange place forever.
But I believe that each of them has the same thoughts and beliefs as me.”
The more Tang Ran listened, the more upset she felt. She tried to hold back, but still couldn't. She didn't know how many times she had cried, her eyes were swollen.
…………
Tang Ran stayed with Zuo Yuan for a total of twenty days. On the one hand, she wanted Zuo Yuan's health to gradually improve and not arouse any suspicion. On the other hand, she also wanted to spend more time with Zuo Yuan.
It was not until Zuo Yuan received the order to evacuate that Tang Ran accompanied Zuo Yuan to the gathering place. She did not expect to see Bai Lin there.
Tang Ran was very surprised, but Bai Lin was delighted.
"Why are you here?"
"Tang Ran!"
The two of them said in unison, and Tang Ran was grabbed by the arm by Bai Lin the next moment.
"It's great that you're still alive!"
Bai Lin had always thought that Tang Ran had died. During the time from the South China Sea Military Region to Country Y, Bai Lin was not in a very good mood. But after seeing the living Tang Ran, all the dark clouds in the sky dissipated.
