Gu Zhinian has been feeling unwell recently. He can't stand the smell of food and always feels like vomiting. He can't eat and feels nauseous as soon as he enters the cafeteria. Li Lijuan kindly advised:
"Zhi Nian, there's a sanatorium nearby. Why don't you go and have a look? Are you feeling sick?"
Gu Zhinian took a sip of water and swallowed it. "It's okay, it will be fine in two days."
Gu Zhinian forced herself to endure the discomfort and went to class. She didn't hear a word the judge said in class. Her stomach was churning and she felt nauseous, and she had no strength in her body.
In the evening, Gu Zhinian did not eat. She returned to the guesthouse and fell into a deep sleep on the bed. Qian Dayou was worried about her, so he bought her a meal and sent it to the guesthouse. Before leaving, Battalion Commander Yun had invited him to dinner alone and asked him to help take care of Gu Zhinian while he was away. He had promised Battalion Commander Yun what he must do.
Qian Dayou knocked on the door for a long time, but Gu Zhinian didn't open the door, which alarmed Li Lijuan next door. Li Lijuan opened the door and came out.
"I saw she was feeling unwell today. I asked her and she said she was fine. Could something have happened?"
Qian Dayou put the lunch box in Li Lijuan's arms and ran to the front desk to get the key. After a while, he came up with a bunch of keys and opened the door. The two rushed in and saw Gu Zhinian lying on the bed sleeping. Qian Dayou turned around.
Li Lijuan stepped forward and called her, but Gu Zhinian half-opened her eyes in a daze.
"Zhi Nian, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Zhinian was too tired to talk, Qian Dayou said with his back to them:
"Sister Lijuan, help Xiao Gu get dressed. I'll take her to the hospital."
"Okay." Li Lijuan took the coat from the end of the bed and put it on Gu Zhinian, then squatted down to put on her shoes. Qian Dayou picked her up and ran out. Li Lijuan followed him out, feeling uneasy.
"Dayou, I know there's a nursing home nearby. Send him there first. The hospital is too far away, and Zhinian still doesn't know what's going on."
"good!"
Qian Dayou held Gu Zhinian and followed Li Lijuan to the nearest sanatorium, Anshi Sanatorium.
The brothers Wang Jun and Wang Jian, who had been observing their movements, followed quietly behind them. Before they reached the sanatorium, Gu Zhinian woke up. Qian Dayou put her down, and Li Lijuan supported her arm.
"Zhi Nian, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
Gu Zhinian looked up and saw the words "Anshi Sanatorium" written on the building in front of him. He was stunned for a moment. Qian Dayou pointed to the sanatorium in front.
"Xiao Gu, let me help you get checked out. You've been feeling unwell lately. If there's anything wrong with your body, it's better to get it treated sooner rather than later."
"Okay, thank you."
Gu Zhinian nodded, and Li Lijuan and Qian Dayou accompanied her slowly to the sanatorium. There was a digital clock hanging above the corridor. Gu Zhinian subconsciously looked up at the time, which showed July 20, 1985.
Qian Dayou found a chair in the corridor for Gu Zhinian to sit down first while he went to queue up for registration. Li Lijuan sat down with her and waited together. Gu Zhinian felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach and sweat broke out on her forehead. Li Lijuan hugged her worriedly.
"Zhi Nian, wait a moment. I'll go borrow a cup from the nurse and pour you some hot water."
Li Lijuan ran quickly in the corridor, looking for a nurse.
Wang Jun and Wang Jian quietly followed him into the hospital and saw Gu Zhinian sitting alone on a long bench. They exchanged glances, looked left and right, and slowly moved towards the bench.
Gu Zhinian looked up and saw them. She struggled to stand up, holding on to the chair with one hand. She turned around and wanted to run, but was stopped by two people in front and behind. Wang Jun touched his chin and looked at her with ill intent.
"Where are you running to! I finally caught you!"
Gu Zhinian was so nervous that his stomach ached badly and his face turned pale. He couldn't help but sit back in his chair and pretended to be calm.
"My husband is a soldier. If anything happens to me, he will never let you go!"
Wang Jian laughed heartily and pretended to shrink back.
"Yo yo yo! I'm so scared, you want him to catch me! Haha!"
Gu Zhinian looked around anxiously, hoping that someone could come and save her. At night, the corridor of the sanatorium was quiet, with no one there. Gu Zhinian tightly grasped the jade pendant around her neck, and the faces of Yun Muye and Xiao Tangyuan emerged in her mind.
An extreme feeling of suffocation surged into his heart. When Wang Jun and Wang Jian grabbed him, a strong light burst out from Gu Zhinian's body, and the time in the sanatorium was also moving rapidly.
1985... 1984... 1983... 1982, time stopped on June 1, 1982.
Gu Zhinian lay weakly on the long bench, and a nurse came to wake her up.
"Comrade, wake up."
Gu Zhinian felt dizzy, and the nurse asked someone to carry her on a cart to the hospital for treatment. After a check-up, it was found that she was three months pregnant.
When Gu Zhinian woke up, she was lying on the hospital bed. She sat up suddenly and checked her body. There was nothing wrong. She was not kidnapped. She was saved.
Thinking of the previous despair, Gu Zhinian couldn't control her fear. She hugged her knees with her hands, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were red. She missed Yun Muye and Xiao Tangyuan so much.
The young nurse came over and said, "Hey! Comrade, you're awake. You're already three months pregnant. Why didn't you have someone to accompany you when you went out? It's very dangerous for you to faint in a chair by yourself."
Gu Zhinian raised her red eyes, surprised and happy, "You said I'm pregnant?"
The young nurse was surprised:
"You wouldn't be unaware of such a big thing, right? It's been three months, and you don't know! Is there any mother like you? You're too careless! What if something goes wrong?"
Gu Zhinian lowered her head and touched her belly, and suddenly remembered something. She already had a little Tangyuan. If she had another child, it would be considered an extra birth, and Yun Muye would be forced to retire from the army. What should she do?
She really couldn't bear to have an abortion. Gu Zhinian was so distressed that she burst into tears. She wiped her tears and looked up to ask the nurse.
"Nurse, do you have a phone? Can you lend it to me to make a call?"
"Yes, at the front desk. Call your husband and ask him to pick you up."
"Okay, thank you."
Gu Zhinian lifted the quilt, held on to the wall and walked to the front desk to make a phone call. A seriously injured patient came behind him. His head was bandaged in circles, his hands and feet were wrapped in bandages, and his chest was also bandaged. A young soldier supported him and slowly moved forward.
"Captain Yun, you're incredibly lucky to be able to be rescued this time. When you were dug out of the rubble, not a single part of your body was healed. Even the doctors said you were unlikely to be saved, yet you woke up. Your injuries were so severe that you'll need at least a year or two to recover."
"That's because I'm lucky, even God won't take it away!"
Yun Muye's words made her chest hurt. Gu Zhinian was stunned when she heard the familiar voice. She turned around slowly and looked with wide eyes. It was Yun Muye, her husband and the father of her child.
Yun Muye's whole body was bandaged, not a single spot was intact. Gu Zhinian cried out of heartache. He lied to her that he was going on a mission, and it turned out that he was injured, and he was recuperating here without telling her.
"husband!"
All the fear that Gu Zhinian had been feeling for many days was released at this moment. She ran over quickly and hugged him tightly.
"Hubby, you were injured, and you lied to me that you were on a mission."
