When Zhang Xudong saw the expressions of the soldiers, he guessed what they were thinking.
Zhang Xudong said to Deputy Commander Zhou, "It was all a coincidence. The five of them had an internal conflict, and I just happened to take advantage of it."
Deputy Platoon Leader Zhou smacked his lips and said, "No matter if they were lucky enough to get away with it, it's a credit to be able to kill them."
He Jingxian interrupted them:
"Brothers, stop talking so much nonsense.
The most important thing now is to see my brother. I will always be worried if I don’t see him.”
After hearing this, Deputy Zhou Pai said embarrassedly: "Sister, I'm not talking nonsense to delay time, but it's very troublesome for you to enter the city at this time.
During this period, the city has been restricting movement at night. Military checkpoints have been set up at key intersections, and militias are patrolling the streets.
You are unfamiliar with the place, and you don't know how many times you will be questioned along the way. So, you might as well wait here and go in after daybreak."
Zhang Xudong frowned and said, "Is there still a need to be so nervous now? Haven't the rebels all escaped?"
Deputy Commander Zhou explained, "They have now fled to the border areas. However, to prevent any individual members from escaping and causing damage, we must remain vigilant."
If you're in a hurry to get in, I'll call my superiors and see if they can escort you there."
Zhang Xudong and He Jingxian discussed it and decided to wait.
Anyway, Brother He is no longer in any danger, and I don’t have anything urgent to do. It would be a bit too much to disturb everyone’s rest in the middle of the night.
Zhang Xudong and He Jingxian were a little tired after a whole day of hard work.
He handed the prisoners over to Deputy Platoon Leader Zhou and his men for guarding, and the two of them drove the car to the corner of the checkpoint.
Zhang Xudong let He Jingxian go into the space to rest, while he stayed in the cab to guard the car and keep watch for He Jingxian.
At seven o'clock, before daybreak, Zhang Xudong heard the soldiers changing shifts and called He Jingxian out of the space.
Soon Deputy Commander Zhou came over and took them to have a simple breakfast.
Then he drove a truck himself, took two soldiers and escorted four prisoners, and led Zhang Xudong and others to the military headquarters.
Deputy Platoon Leader Zhou knew that they were in a hurry to go to the hospital, so he registered and handed over the personnel when they arrived at the military headquarters.
Let a soldier lead them to the hospital first, and he went to report to the leader.
Let’s not talk about how Deputy Zhou reported to the leader here.
Zhang Xudong and his companion thanked the soldier who led the way at the hospital gate, and then asked for directions along the way until they arrived at the door of He Chaoyang's ward.
Outside the ward door, a young soldier stood close to it. Although he stood properly, his head was tilted slightly towards the door. He was listening intently to the sounds inside.
Zhang Xudong stepped forward and asked softly, "Comrade, is He Chaoyang staying in this ward?"
The young soldier turned his head back when he heard the voice, his face flushed with embarrassment. It was quite embarrassing for a grown man to be caught eavesdropping.
"Platoon Leader He lives here. May I ask who you are?" the soldier said after a pause.
He Jingxian replied, "I'm his sister, He Jingxian. Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping?"
The young soldier felt even more embarrassed and said with a red face, "I was ordered to take care of He Pai.
Doctor Sima is changing Platoon Sergeant He's dressing inside right now. I was worried the platoon leader might need something, so I listened closely to what was going on inside.
He Jingxian didn't believe what he said. After all, she was just a sixteen-year-old girl and was very curious.
She pushed the soldier aside, pulled Zhang Xudong and lay down against the door to eavesdrop.
A young girl was speaking inside. Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, neither anxious nor impatient, but clear and pleasant to the ear.
"Platoon Leader He, I've been the one changing your dressings. Now that you're not cooperating, do you want another nurse to change your dressings?
Our nurses are all young girls. Tell me who you want to come and I will call her."
After a pause, a boy's stuttering voice was heard:
"Doctor Sima, no, there's no need to call the nurse. Put the medicine down. I can do it myself.
Or you can call Liu Haisheng in and ask him to help me."
The girl's voice rang out again: "How about checking the wound? Prescribing medicine? Is it you or Comrade Liu who can do it?
You should have changed the medicine yesterday, but you refused. You are being irresponsible to yourself.
I know you look down on me, please rest assured that I am just doing my duty as a doctor.
After you are discharged from the hospital, you can go your way and I will go mine. I, Sima Nianfang, have my dignity and will not pester you.
The man's anxious voice sounded: "Doctor Sima, it's not what you think.
I... well, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of you. I have wounds there, and I'm afraid it will be bad for your reputation."
The girl's cold and indifferent voice rang out: "I have been taking care of you for nine days and have changed your medicine three times.
Tell me, are the things you are thinking about still useful?
As for whether it is worthy or not, don't say anything.
My family was classified as capitalists, so my brother and I couldn't join the army, go to university, or get promoted. Tell me, who would I be worthy of?
After a pause, the girl must have thought of something sad, and said in a tone without any emotion:
"Okay, I won't force you anymore. I'll get another male doctor to change your medicine. Thank you for saving my life. Goodbye."
Then there were light footsteps approaching the door. The man was shouting anxiously:
