002
Xiao Li woke up again on a simple bed made of dry straw in the innermost secluded corner of the tent. He looked around and saw wounded soldiers lying around him, wrapped in white bandages and wearing old military uniforms.
Surrounded by soldiers, even the injured ones, it gave him a great sense of security. Xiao Li calmly surveyed his surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it! He'd originally planned to meet a girl in person the next day, but who could have imagined waking up to find himself traveling through time? Even worse, he'd found himself on a battlefield ravaged by artillery fire.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet good people, so he didn't die on the battlefield as soon as he arrived!
Xiao Li was on the battlefield as soon as he came through. Before he had time to figure out the current situation and receive the original owner's memories, he followed others and fled desperately. Now, while there was no one around, he began to sort out the messy memories in his head.
It is now 1950. The original owner is also called Xiao Li, who is 21 years old this year. He can be said to be born in a military family. The reason why I use the word "barely" is because the Xiao family is a bandit family. During the national crisis, Xiao Li's grandfather took his bandit brothers and children to join the revolution and joined the Eighth Army. Those who survived have basically achieved some success now. In this way, Xiao Li was born in a military family.
The original body was also quite outstanding. He entered the famous Frunze Military Academy in the Soviet Union at the age of fifteen. When he was about to graduate from university and return to China in 1948, he was very lucky to catch up with the academy's restoration of the graduate school system. He then studied for a master's degree and graduated with excellent results.
The original owner was a top student, fluent in English, German, and Russian. After graduation, he joined the People's Liberation Army as a grassroots soldier. Ideally, he would have been a recruit and officially joined Organization D as an officer. Unfortunately, his luck was bad. War broke out, and as a new recruit, he was sent directly to the battlefield, where he died before he could truly show his skills.
Xiao Li sighed as he sorted out his memories, this man was too outstanding. Even if he lived in the future, he would be just a fat otaku who had never been abroad, graduated from a third-rate undergraduate program, couldn't find a job, and made a living by writing. He was really lucky to be in his body.
Xiao Li was still slowly sorting out his memories. The original owner's family was also simple, a military family, and a little bully brother who was ten years younger than him. Slowly, his face began to change, shocked by the information he had just obtained: Xiao Li, War, and the little bully brother Xiao Ming who was more than ten years younger than him... Isn't this the plot in the book "Reborn in the Sixties: The Military Wife Has a Space"?
Could it be that he was transported to the period novel that he wrote for his online girlfriend, and became Xiao Li, the male supporting role who was cannon fodder on the battlefield?
Fuck me!
Xiao Li's face turned green, and he felt terrible. As a ghostwriter, no one knew the experience of the male supporting role better than him. What a big deal that he was now reincarnated into the body of a short-lived ghost!
Although he portrayed Xiao Li as an excellent character in the novel, Xiao Li's role in both lives was only to inspire the male protagonist to grow, make Xiao Ming more certain of his future path, and by the way, highlight the cruel existence of war.
Xiao Li had inexplicably become another person. His mind was in a mess. He couldn't figure it out so he simply stopped thinking about it. He closed his eyes with a headache. Not long after, a sky full of yellow sand began to appear in his mind. From time to time, a few shells fell from the sky and hit the people around him. Screams, wails, and sounds of fighting could be heard continuously. Blood stained his clothes red. Xiao Li woke up from the nightmare with sweat on his forehead. He covered his mouth and stumbled out of the tent.
Perhaps the experience on the battlefield put too much mental pressure on him. In his dream just now, he was being chased by the enemy and was almost hit several times. Later, he dreamed that shells kept falling from the sky and people around him were all blown away with their limbs flying everywhere. When he woke up, his back was wet.
Xiao Li stumbled to a corner outside the tent and squatted there vomiting violently, almost throwing up the food he had eaten the night before.
"...Are you okay?" A soldier with his arm in a sling patted Xiao Li on the back and asked.
"It's okay, it's just the aftereffects of the battlefield." Xiao Li tried hard to hold it in, raised his head and waved to the man, "When I think about killing someone, my stomach churns. Wait a minute, I need to vomit for a while, ugh..."
"I wasn't as good as you the first time, but I figured it out and it was fine. If you keep vomiting here, I'll call the political commissar over and have him give you some psychological counseling."
Xiao Li: "...."
Xiao Xinghua was the political commissar in this battle. He was mainly responsible for D and political work, and was responsible for a series of tasks such as counseling the soldiers' psychological problems on the battlefield. When he heard that a young soldier who had just come down from the battlefield was vomiting all over, he quickly put down his work and came to do the counseling work.
"Is this the guy you mentioned who vomited up his overnight meal?" Xiao Xinghua helplessly pointed at the man squatting on the ground and vomiting violently. "Alright, find a place to stay and recuperate. When the logistics truck comes back, evacuate directly to the local hospital."
After everyone left, Xiao Xinghua sighed and patted Xiao Li, who was squatting beside him, on the back. "I didn't allow you to come, but you insisted on signing up secretly. Now you're so embarrassed. How could our Xiao family produce such a coward? Didn't you just go to the battlefield and kill a few people? Didn't you vomit like this? Next time, just treat them as the cabbages and radishes you dislike eating the most. I promise you will be fine and have fun cutting them. Even though you are such a coward, you still want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Just go home quickly and don't continue to embarrass the old Xiao family here. If your grandfather knew about this, he would be furious to death."
"..." Xiao Li nodded awkwardly. From the sound of the man speaking, he seemed to know him. Thinking carefully about the people of the Xiao family on the battlefield, he found that this man was the father of the original owner - Xiao Xinghua.
"Back...how to go back?" He was more than happy to leave the battlefield, and since he was the original owner's father, he would not be polite.
A slap landed on Xiao Li's head, followed by Xiao Xinghua's exasperated voice, "You little bastard, you've actually learned to desert! Do you know the consequences of being a deserter? You'll be shot! If your grandfather knew about this, he'd definitely break your legs! How could our Xiao family produce such a useless thing like you!"
I see you've been reading a lot of books these past few years. Back then, I didn't agree with you going to that college, but your mother cried and insisted on you going, and what happened?
You've taken away all my masculinity, bah! Look at how cowardly you are now. You look so weak and fragile that you'll fall down at the slightest breeze. You're not even as strong as your grandma. Women really can't be in charge of a household. You've ruined the head of our Xiao family. I'll deal with her when I get back!"
Xiao Xingguo kept on talking non-stop. Xiao Li rolled his eyes. He acted like he was so capable, but in reality, he was still a henpecked husband. Whoever didn't know about it would go. Why was he pretending? "I've taken note of what you said. I'll tell you the truth when I get home."
Another slap landed on Xiao Li's head. "How dare you threaten me, you little bastard! I'm telling you, if you've come this far, you'll have to be missing limbs to leave!"
Xiao Li vomited for a few minutes and finally recovered. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, jumped to the side in three or two steps, far away from Xiao Xinghua, making sure that he could not hit him, and then looked him up and down.
Xiao Xinghua is 45 years old this year. He is tall and strong. Every part of his body has tendons, just like pieces of iron lumps. He has a crew cut and is almost 1.9 meters tall. He doesn't look like a good guy at all. It's hard to imagine that such a person is actually a traitor!
Xiao Li crossed his arms across his chest, looking warily at the bandit-like man, as if he was about to be molested. "I...I'm telling you, don't come over here. If you come over here, I'll call for help."
"You little bastard, why don't you see where you are? Come here now!" Xiao Xinghua pulled Xiao Li, who was alert, over and said, "If your mother hadn't protected you, you would have been drowned in the urine bucket by me when you were a child."
"You little brat! If your mother knew your troops were on the battlefield, who knows how much money she would have to pay for you! You actually want to be a deserter! Do you think you deserve my money? Now that you know your family is doing well, don't you want to be a war hero? Then keep fighting here. Work hard and don't embarrass me! I'm very busy, so I'm leaving now."
Before leaving, Xiao Xinghua hugged Xiao Li tightly, so hard that he groaned. Then he heard a warning in his ear: "Boy, you must come back alive! It doesn't matter if you lose an arm or a leg. As long as you have a breath left, I will support you."
Xiao Li stood there and watched the man's back as he walked away. A very complicated emotion spread in his heart. Just now, he seemed to see tears in the eyes of the bandit-like man, but it flashed by and could not be seen clearly.
Xiao Li is an orphan who was thrown at the door of an orphanage since childhood. Life in the orphanage is full of hardships. The small orphanage is like a small society full of various struggles. There, only by forcing oneself to become strong can one have enough food to eat.
When he was a child, he also longed to have parents. He longed for family affection and once stood in front of couples and behaved well. Unfortunately, that world values appearance. Even if he behaved well and cutely, he could not compare to those good-looking children. His lack of appearance made him lose countless adoption opportunities, and later he learned to give up.
After being given up for adoption, he often went out with the other children at the orphanage to pick up trash. When he grew older, he skipped school and joined some socialites to collect protection fees to support himself. While uneducated, he also understood the importance of education. To escape the slums and provide a good life for his children, he had to study hard and pass the exams. He usually earned money while studying, and finally got into a third-rate university. After college, he retired from the world of writing novels to support himself.
Family affection does not exist in his world. The lack of family affection and his lack of appearance gradually caused him to develop an inferiority complex and psychological defects during his growth.
And now, the man he had despised so much said he would support him. Xiao Li seemed to sense something different from this man. He touched his beating chest, and an indescribable feeling spread there. He stared straight ahead and muttered to himself, "Is this my father in this life? What should it feel like to have a father?"
After he finished speaking, Xiao Li suddenly laughed, laughing at himself for still dreaming about those so-called family dreams in his heart. As he laughed, something seemed to remain in his eyes. He wiped his face fiercely with his dirty sleeves. When he raised his eyes, the confusion was gone. "Raise me? It's a pity that I, Xiao Li, am no longer the child who longed for parental love!"
"I'm a grown-up."
"It's karma. Since I've taken over your son's body, I'll reluctantly acknowledge you as my family. Maybe I can't treat you the same way the original owner did, but I'll also fulfill my responsibilities and obligations. In order to prevent you from being sad about my sacrifice, I have to go back from this damn place first." Xiao Li lowered his head and fumbled around. Looking at the guns on the soldiers' backs, he frowned and secretly gave up the possibility of using a gun. Did he have to go to that place where lives could be taken at any time again!
No, absolutely not!
Passing soldiers and nurses looked at him with strange expressions. Xiao Li suddenly realized that he had been standing there for too long. So he fixed his eyes on a passing nurse, walked over quickly and asked, "Comrade, please tell me where Squad Leader Zhang Dali is. He's seriously injured."
"Team Leader Zhang Dali? I don't know. Why don't you go to our medical department and ask around? Maybe the doctors and nurses there know."
The thing that is most abundant on the battlefield is the wounded, and the busiest people are the medical staff. If the medical staff have to remember the names of all the wounded, they will probably work themselves to death.
Xiao Li walked towards the medical unit while searching his body, and finally found the jade pendant with space that the male protagonist gave to the female protagonist in the original novel in the inner pocket of his military uniform.
This jade pendant is only half the size of a palm. It is warm all over and has a carving of two dragons circling and fighting for the sun. The sun protrudes a little and is painted with red paint. If you touch it gently, you will find that the sun is not painted with red paint, but the ancient jade itself is red. It is crystal clear and very beautiful.
Xiao Li had no intention of saving the jade for either the male or female protagonist. It had originally belonged to the original owner, and now that he was the original owner, the jade's owner could only be himself. Such a good thing certainly couldn't be passed on to others. He planned to find Squad Leader Zhang later and then secretly drip blood to acknowledge ownership. That way, if he got hurt, he wouldn't lose his life.
Holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand, Xiao Li came to the medical department unimpeded. As soon as he came here, he heard chaotic shouting from the tent: "Quick, hold him down for me, don't let him move!"
"Doctor Wang, he's moving too much and we can't hold him down!"
"What we have the most here is soldiers. If you can't hold him down, go out and find someone who can. Why are you still standing there? Hurry up!"
Xiao Li, who happened to be passing by outside the tent, was pulled into the tent by a young nurse with two ponytails and wearing a military uniform, pulling her sleeve.
Xiao Li was confused: "..."
Are all girls nowadays so familiar?
