007
The road leading to the frontier was very narrow, with craters on both sides, and occasionally you could see mines, shrapnel, and even broken shoes, boots, and limbs that had been plowed out by artillery shells. There were occasionally tunnels on the side of the road, with mud up to the knees and rotting leaves emitting a nauseating stench.
When he first came here, he didn't understand the situation and was only concerned about escaping. The moment he stepped in again, Xiao Li felt as if he was in hell.
He followed Diao Ziqiang mechanically, but his head felt like it was spinning and numb, and there was a strong urge to vomit in his stomach, but he suppressed the urge to vomit.
As they continued to move forward, the sound of artillery and gunfire was deafening, and the air was filled with the smell of TNT. It was obvious that Xiao Li and the other man were getting closer and closer to the front line. Although they knew that the road ahead was quite dangerous, they still rushed forward without hesitation.
At this moment, Xiao Li felt that he had full courage, and his image seemed to become taller in an instant.
The enemy's anti-aircraft machine guns, artillery and sniper rifles kept firing from high above at the supply road. If they were unlucky, they might be attacked by the M Army bombers, making it very difficult for the logistics troops to be supplied.
As a veteran of the logistics supply unit, Diao Ziqiang had long been accustomed to the enemy's long bursts of anti-aircraft machine guns, the snipers' cold shots, and the occasional two shots of cold cannon.
Despite his small build, he possessed unmatched strength and speed, expertly directing his teammates as they dodged enemy fire. Xiao Li, panting heavily, silently listened to the constant barrage of commands. Perhaps it was luck, or perhaps Diao Ziqiang's exceptional professional abilities, but the two of them managed to reach their destination safely with the bread.
The battle at the front line was fierce, with shells constantly falling around them. For safety reasons, Xiao Li and the other man quickly ran to the trench where the commander and his entourage were.
The two men carefully put down the burdens on their shoulders and casually threw the confiscated guns to the soldiers beside them. Diao Ziqiang wiped the dust off his face. The two of them saluted the commander at the same time: "Report to the commander, mission accomplished!"
The commander this time is named Chen Kang, who is in his forties. He joined the revolution alone when he was twelve years old and not even as tall as a gun. He has been in the army for more than twenty years. He has seen many big scenes, participated in many battles, and has rich combat experience.
Chen Kang looked the two men up and down. Seeing that they were uninjured, his serious expression relaxed slightly. He said, "Well done! Well done! The soldiers are tired. Take a breath and distribute the food in order. Remember to pay attention to safety."
Then he ordered the entourage and Xiao Li to act together. Although Xiao Li was a little afraid of death, since he had come to this place where people were eaten, he knew there was no retreat and spoke directly. With the mentality of not wanting to be a drag, he quickly joined the task of distributing food to the soldiers.
The weather was freezing, and the flatbreads Xiao Li and his companions had painstakingly brought were already cold and hard, making them difficult to swallow. However, the soldiers still solemnly took the cold flatbreads from Xiao Li and his companions' hands and took turns wolfing them down. After finishing, they immediately returned to take over. In this environment where the enemy was so close that they could die if they weren't careful, no one wasted even a second on eating.
"It's cold..." It was no longer hot. Xiao Li wanted to say something as he looked at his comrades who were wolfing down their food without even drooling, but in the end he could only stare at them helplessly.
Xiao Li felt indescribably sad when he saw such a scene for the first time.
"It's nothing. We are satisfied as long as we can have a bite of food. I heard that you killed a small group of American people and seized their guns on the way to deliver food. You are really awesome, squad leader! I admire you!" The young soldier ate the white flour cakes brought by his comrades who risked their lives and crossed the enemy's fire line with a satisfied look on his face.
Do you admire me?
Xiao Li began to reflect, what was there to admire about him? He was just a coward who wanted to escape from this hellish place at any time.
Timid and afraid of death, cowardly and afraid to admit it.
Xiao Li felt a sense of unease as he looked at the young soldier beside him, perhaps seventeen or eighteen years old. In later times, he would have been a carefree child studying and playing in a spacious classroom, the future flower of the motherland. Yet now, he was a man with a filthy face, clutching a rifle, and fighting bloody battles on an unfamiliar land with an empty stomach.
It was also at this time that Xiao Li gradually felt a sense of shame. After two lifetimes, he was no better than a half-grown child...
Does he want to...
No!
He doesn't want to stay here. Leaving here is the best choice for him!
He grew up in an orphanage, fighting for food to make ends meet. Later, when he went to school, he was robbed by bad guys. He fought back and became a bad guy himself. He has been violent and aggressive since he was a child. People like this only think about themselves, and profit is their survival rule.
After convincing himself, Xiao Li once again planned his "escape plan" with peace of mind, assuming that this time he could get hurt on the way back...
As Xiao Li and the other two were about to leave, the young soldier shouted over the sound of gunfire, "Squad leader, are you coming tomorrow? Tomorrow is my 18th birthday. My mother always says, 'Dumplings for descendants, longevity noodles.' Every year on my birthday I get to eat a bowl of hot longevity noodles. Squad leader, could you bring me a bowl of noodles tomorrow?"
Xiao Li turned around and took one last look at the other person. He closed his eyes slightly and answered loudly to the back: "Okay!" Then he fled without looking back.
The sound of artillery shells kept falling in the distance, making Xiao Li's ears buzz. Suddenly, several enemy artillery shells exploded one after another around them. His body felt like it was stabbed by something, and Xiao Li suddenly felt dizzy.
He knew he couldn't stop and had to keep going. At the critical moment, Xiao Li thought to himself that a minor injury didn't mean he had to give up half his life. He didn't want to spend the rest of his life bedridden. He also wanted to marry a beautiful wife, have a smart and lovely baby, and spend the rest of his life there. He turned to look at Diao Ziqiang beside him and said, "Run!"
Run.
The two of them were quite fast. After they rushed out of the line of life and death, Xiao Li realized that his right hand was obviously broken and in great pain. Diao Ziqiang next to him had a very deep cut on his left cheek from the corner of his mouth to the bottom of his temples. His face was gradually covered with blood and Yanran was disfigured.
"Fuck! What a bad luck!" Blood flowed into Diao Ziqiang's mouth. He spat bloody saliva on the ground with a "Puh" sound. "My face is ruined. Luckily I'm married. If this wound had been on your face, I'm afraid I'd have been a bachelor for the rest of my life."
Maybe Xiao Li was overthinking it, but he felt like the other person was trying to show off. "Come on, it's okay for a man to be disfigured. Scars are a man's badge of honor! Men without scars always look too creamy and lack masculinity. If I got that on my face, maybe the nurses would like me more. I might even get married tomorrow."
Although Xiao Li said it as if he didn't care, he actually valued his handsome face very much. If it was really disfigured, he would probably be sad for a long time. He said this now because he was afraid of making the other party sad, so he wanted to comfort him.
"Hahaha, you have a good idea, those girls in the medical department are all very pretty and arrogant. Don't dream that someone will fall for you.
I thought you were a piece of cake, but you turned out to be just what I like. The words spoken by cultured people are just different. Medal, hahaha, I'll tell my wife this when I get home." So that she won't despise herself for being ugly.
Diao Ziqiang felt his scalp tingling when he thought about going home to face his wife. His wife already disliked him for being ugly and short, and now that he was disfigured, he would be so scratched that he would die. If he didn't die on the battlefield, he would probably die in a domestic violence scene. Oh~ It's so damn hard to be a man!
Xiao Li got injured as he wished, and ran back with his arm drooping, his heart filled with joy. After entering our safe zone, Diao Ziqiang spat out a mouthful of blood, put down the burden on his shoulders, walked up to him, and took a look at the broken arm. "It seems that your hand is broken. Come here and I will connect it."
Xiao Li unconsciously took a step back. "Let's go back immediately. Let's let the military doctor take a look at me first. Although we have entered the safe zone, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen. Let's go back quickly. I'm fine. I can bear the pain!"
Brother, my finger is broken, not dislocated.
This arm will be very useful back in the camp, and I was counting on this broken arm to get home. I couldn't let the other party mess around and ruin my plan: "You clumsy hands and feet, please don't break my arm, I...ah!"
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!”
Diao Ziqiang hated people who were talkative the most. He grabbed Xiao Li's broken arm and there was a "click" sound. Then he heard Xiao Li's scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"Why are you yelling? I'm a professional bone setter. Go back and ask who's the best bone setter in the 303rd Regiment! It's just a broken arm, and you're being so nagging like a man."
People's arms are very easy to break, especially when doing heavy physical activities. For example, during exercise, improper force will affect the arm. This kind of situation is very common in the army. As doctors have seen many such cases over time, they have learned some simple treatment methods.
Diao Ziqiang is an expert at this, and his technique is extremely skilled. Many new recruits who had dislocations right after joining the army were reconnected by him, and he could see Xiao Li's condition at a glance.
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. If I have a fracture in my arm, I need to take an X-ray first to determine the location of the fracture, and then take treatment. During the reconnection process, the doctor will have a special method and will also put me in a cast. What if my hand fracture is serious and the bone is cracked, and the muscles at the fracture end are involved and cause displacement? You..."
Can you afford to pay for it?
"What film, what plaster, what nonsense are you talking about? Speak human language!" Diao Ziqiang took up his burden without thinking. People with knowledge are always pretentious. He also spoke in a set of incomprehensible words, like a woman. "How dare you question my bone setting skills? I am a professional! If you don't believe me, try it. I guarantee it will be cured."
Bullshit! My bone is broken, not dislocated!
Xiao Li carefully moved his right hand. It was able to move, but it was a little painful.
Holy shit, I thought my hand was seriously injured earlier, but how come it can only be a dislocation? This is so fucking unscientific!
Hope turned into disappointment in an instant. Is God playing tricks on him?
Diao Ziqiang happened to see Xiao Li's unquestionable look, and he raised his eyebrows with a smug look on his face as he walked forward carrying his load. "It's just a bone setting, why are you so surprised? It's no big deal. Even if a bullet was lodged in your bone, I can dig it out for you. You still don't have enough experience. Learn from me in the future. I guarantee you can be as good as me."
"Thank you." You're probably hurting your eyes, not your face. How could you possibly imagine you wanting to learn how to set bones and remove bullets? How shameless can you be to say something so narcissistic and shameless? "How did someone like you find a wife? Who has such good taste?" She accepted this ugly, blind man.
Speaking of his wife, Diao Ziqiang, he was even more proud. He boasted to Xiao Li, "Who can blame me for being pretty? Back then, your sister-in-law, my wife, fell in love with me at first sight. She thought I was stunning and begged me to marry her. That's why I gave up the whole garden and was with her reluctantly..."
Xiao Li chuckled: "I really want to meet my sister-in-law."
"When we return to the capital after our victory, let your sister-in-law fix everything for us, and then we brothers can have a nice drink together."
"Does your sister-in-law know what you said? If I tell her these words, I don't know if she will be happy."
"......" Diao Ziqiang shuddered as he thought of his wife looking at him mercilessly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Scholars are really full of evil and have black hearts."
Humph! You're ruining my plans! You'd better not let me see my sister-in-law, or you'll be in trouble!
Xiao Li, with a proud look on his face, hummed "March of the Volunteers" as he moved forward.
After returning to the base, the two were sent to the medical department for examination. This time, Xiao Li was examined by a thin, bespectacled male doctor. The doctor examined him skillfully and moved Xiao Li's injured arm: "How do you feel? Is there any pain?"
“……..”
Xiao Limu shook his head emotionlessly, thanking his father for the perverted golden finger.
His strong recovery ability has made his injured arm fully recovered, and he no longer feels any pain. He feels much better now, and the strength of his arm can kill a cow!
"There's nothing wrong with the arm. I wouldn't have found any problem if you hadn't told me. The bone setting skills of our soldiers are getting better and better, almost surpassing those of the doctors in our medical department." The male doctor sighed, "I'll have to observe it carefully when I get back, and try not to use this hand for heavy work."
Xiao Li was sent out of the medical department with a bewildered look on his face. When he saw Diao Ziqiang, who had several stitches on his face and looked smug, he couldn't hide his envy. He only hated that he was God's biological son and that his father loved him too much.
It’s too difficult!
