Chapter 111
Wen Qing woke up, but he couldn't see clearly or speak clearly. Wen Yanxi was worried about him, so he went back to sit by his bed for a while.
Wen Yanxi never chats with people or comforts others.
But when Wen Yanxi learned that Wen Qing was injured and in critical condition, he was afraid.
Especially when he saw Wen Qing lying lifeless on the hospital bed, covered in blood, the atheist Wen Yanxi even prayed silently in his heart, hoping that all the gods and Buddhas would show up and bless Wen Qing to overcome the difficulties smoothly.
There are only three people left in the Wen family: his uncle, him and Wen Qing. Wen Yanxi's parents and Wen Qing's parents have all died. Wen Yanxi really doesn't want anyone else in the Wen family to die at the hands of the enemy.
Wen Yanxi is just not good at speaking and will not easily reveal his emotions. This is a habit he developed after years of military service, but he is actually a very delicate person in his heart, but others just don't know it.
Wen Qing didn't expect his uncle, who was always cold-hearted, to say anything to comfort him. If his uncle didn't say anything to mock him, Wen Qing would be secretly happy.
After the military doctors and nurses from the hospital arrived, Wen Yanxi told Wen Qing to get some rest: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Your health is the foundation of revolution. Don't even think about returning to the team for training until you're well. I'll tell your grandfather that when you're discharged, you should go home and take good care of yourself."
Wen Qing lowered his eyes and replied in a muffled voice, "I understand, uncle."
Wen Qing agreed verbally, but what he was thinking in his heart was that the legs were on his body, and if he wanted to return to the team, he could return. Who else could control him?
He didn't take Wen Yanxi's request to Chen Zhaoyue to give him a few more injections seriously at all, and just thought that Wen Yanxi was trying to scare him.
Wen Wenyan could tell at a glance that Wen Qing was just trying to give him a perfunctory answer. His tone was no longer cold, but rather gentle and persuasive, like an elder giving a younger one: "Poisoning is no small matter, especially since you were poisoned by a mixture of snake venom, which is very toxic. Don't think that just because you're alive and well now, you shouldn't underestimate your injuries. The remaining poison won't kill you, but it will make you live like a waste for the rest of your life."
Only by recuperating and returning to your pre-injury state can you return to the battlefield and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions."
Wen Yanxi didn't care whether Wen Qing heard what he said or not, he just left after he finished speaking.
Wen Yanxi left the health center and went directly to the commander's office to find Wen Qimin. Wen Qimin and several leaders were there.
The office was filled with smoke, and the smell was really not very pleasant.
Wen Qimin was worried about Wen Qing's condition and did not sleep all night, so he looked a little older.
Wen Yanxi opened the window, letting the fresh morning air dispel the smell of cigarette smoke in the office, and then sat in the only empty seat.
Wen Qimin picked up the teacup, took a sip of the cold tea, and chewed the tea leaves to make his voice sound less dry and hoarse.
"How is Wen Qing? Has his fever gone down?" Wen Qimin still remembered what Chen Zhaoyue told him last night, that as long as Wen Qing's fever could go down, he would be fine.
Wen Qing picked up the thermos and added hot water to Wen Qimin. He answered Wen Qimin's question in a deep voice, "Wen Qing has woken up and is still conscious, but his vision is a little blurry and his speech is unclear. He may have been affected by the snake venom. Comrade Shen Zhaoyue suggested that he stay in the hospital for a week to recuperate."
When Wen Qimin heard Wen Yanxi say that Wen Qing had woken up, he was so excited that he almost cried.
Wen Qimin took a few deep breaths, wiped his moist eyes, and choked up: "Good to wake up, good to wake up! You have to listen to the doctor, listen to the doctor to save your life!"
Bai Jiang was visibly relieved when he heard that Wen Qing had woken up. "According to the report from the young soldier yesterday, I've already sent someone to investigate the place where they were trapped yesterday. I'm sure we'll know whether it was a deliberate trap or a naturally formed snake nest soon."
Wen Yanxi thought for a moment and said, "It would be best to find a few soldiers from the reconnaissance company to disguise themselves and go to the nearby villages to investigate. Maybe those people are hiding among the people."
Wen Yanxi's suggestion was not groundless. The two enemy spies they had just captured looked like ordinary villagers.
If Chen Zhaoyue had not accidentally seen them sending a telegram and wrote down the contents of the telegram, they would still not know that their troops had been targeted by enemy spies.
Wen Yanxi's bony fingers gently stroked his knees, and he said in a deep voice, "The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. Simply defending will only allow them to seize the initiative and lead us by the nose. It's better to take the initiative, muddy the waters, and seize the initiative in our own hands. We can't just passively take the beating; that will only embolden the enemy."
Wen Qimin felt that what Wen Yanxi said made sense, so he asked Bai Jiang to send a few more scouts.
Bai Jiang raised his doubts: "What if we alert the enemy and they hide deeper? It will be even more difficult for us to rescue them then."
Wen Yanxi's lips curled up into a confident smile, but his eyes flashed with a cold and excited light: "Human nature is greedy and arrogant, especially those enemies hiding in the dark. They have a mysterious self-confidence, thinking that we won't find them. Guess what they will do now if we really alert them?
In order to prove that they are smarter than us and to play us in the palm of their hands, they will not hide at all, but will do the opposite and saunter under our noses. "
Bai Jiang knew what was going on, so he arranged for scouts to go to the nearby villages to investigate.
After the meeting, Wen Qimin asked Wen Yanxi to stay.
Only Wen Qimin and Wen Yanxi were left in the office. Wen Qimin was no longer the high-ranking commander. He was just an old man who hoped that his nephew and grandson would be safe and sound.
Wen Qimin lit a cigarette, picked up the teacup and took a sip of strong tea: "Is Wen Qing really awake?"
Wen Yanxi took the cigarette from his hand and put it out in the ashtray. Looking at the ashtray full of cigarette butts, Wen Yanxi frowned and said, "At your age and the way you smoke, Wen Qing's condition has just stabilized, and your own health has collapsed. It's just right that you two can sleep in the same ward."
Wen Qimin looked at his empty fingers and scolded him with a smile: "Now you are trying to control me?"
Wen Yanxi answered irrelevantly: "My wife's acupuncture is very painful. If you fall into her hands, she will not show mercy to you just because you are her elder."
Wen Qimin smiled and said, "Where's your wife? It's all thanks to her that Wen Qing was able to save his life this time. She worked so hard."
Wen Yanxi said seriously: "My wife said that it was her duty as a medical staff!"
Wen Qimin was very pleased to see that Wen Yanxi had become a little more human after marriage and was no longer as cold as before.
"Okay, go get busy too. Go home and make some delicious food for your wife today. When you're done with this, you two can come home for dinner."
Wen Yanxi saluted Wen Qimin and turned to leave.
At the health center, Wen Qing ate a bowl of rice porridge. Although he was only half full, it was better than having an empty stomach.
It was not known whether it was due to physical fatigue caused by excessive blood loss, or the effect of the drugs he was receiving through intravenous drip, but Wen Qing felt tired again not long after Wen Yanxi left, and fell asleep leaning against the head of the bed.
After finishing her breakfast, Liu Siyu checked in at the nurses' station, then went to the ward to see Wen Qing with a hot egg and meat bun.
As soon as she entered the ward, Liu Siyu saw him sleeping with his neck tilted.
Liu Siyu took great effort to support Wen Qing and let him lie flat on the hospital bed to sleep.
Jianwen Qing's lips were a little dry, so Liu Siyu dipped a cotton swab in some water, gently wiped his lips, and then stayed by the bed.
Liu Siyu thought that when Wen Qing woke up, the first person he would see would be her.
