Chapter 86 is at least as big as a C!
In the evening, a military jeep was driving on National Highway 219.
Luo Shan was driving, Kai Youmu was sitting in the passenger seat, and Xu Ge and Li Dongshui were in the back seat.
Luo Shan and the other two asked Xu Ge several times on the way about why he suddenly couldn't speak, but when they saw that Xu Ge could only mumble incoherently, they gave up.
"Platoon leader, given Xu Ge's current condition, he won't become a disabled person in the future, right?" Li Dongshui asked, still a little worried.
Xu Ge: ...
Luo Shan gestured to Kai Youmu to light a cigarette for him, and said in a relaxed tone, "I don't think it's a big deal. Didn't you hear what the chief instructor said? He might just be holding it in for a while because of the stimulation. He'll be fine once he calms down."
Li Dongshui looked at Xu Ge with a guilty look on his face: "Xu Ge, I'm sorry!"
"I should thank Xu Ge, hahaha!"
Kai Youmu turned his head and looked at Xu Ge and smiled, "If it weren't for Xu Ge, I wouldn't have had the chance to go to Sanshili Barracks."
Luo Shan also smiled and nodded: "Since you are out, I will treat you to Northeastern cuisine tonight!"
"Deputy squad leader, is Sanshili Barracks the name of a military unit?" Li Dongshui asked curiously.
"Sanshili Barracks is a place name. It's a small town. A few decades ago, a sentry post was moved thirty miles away, which is why it got this name."
Kai Youmu explained, "But it has now become the largest supply station between the Xinjiang Region and the Snow Region. The military station we are going to is behind the Sanshili Barracks."
"What is the military station for?" Li Dongshui asked again.
Kaiyoumu didn't know how to explain: "A military station is a military station..."
Luo Shan spoke up, "A military depot provides logistical support for passing troops, and is also responsible for maintaining surrounding military facilities."
"Oh, I see..."
"Platoon leader, Kangxiwa Pass is ahead!" Kaiyoumu suddenly spoke, his expression becoming serious.
Luo Shan's expression also turned serious: "Stop talking! Salute to the right!"
Beep beep!
Amid the sound of the car horn, Xu Ge looked to the right curiously and found a large group of low buildings two or three kilometers away, with what seemed to be a very tall stone tablet standing in the middle.
The entire building complex is located at the foot of the majestic Karakoram Mountains.
After the car passed the pass and began to descend the mountain, Luo Shan said with emotion: "When I first joined the army, no one cared about this place. Now it's great, it's been renovated and looks very impressive!"
"Platoon leader, was that the Martyrs' Cemetery just now?"
"Yes! Kangxiwa Martyrs Cemetery, most of the people there are martyrs who died in the counterattack against Tiandu!"
Luo Shan's tone became low.
"There are also several martyrs from our Wolf Brigade... They are all so young!"
. . .
. . .
Not long after we went down the mountain, there were more and more vehicles on the originally empty national highway.
From a distance, you can see a fairly large town ahead. The national highway passes through the town, and the barracks are at Sanshili.
Once we entered the town, the traffic became congested, with various shops lined up on both sides of the road.
To be honest, this is the first time Xu Ge has seen such a prosperous place since he came to the recruit company.
There are Sichuan restaurants, Hunan restaurants, Northeastern restaurants, B&Bs, hotels, supermarkets, gas stations, and clinics... everything you can think of!
It was dinner time, and all kinds of large trucks and private cars for tourists were parked in front of the restaurants. The aroma of food drifted in through the car windows, arousing Xu Ge's appetite.
Li Dongshui swallowed his saliva and said, "Platoon Leader, let's eat first before going to the military station, shall we?"
After a whole day of target shooting, the recruit company had already served lunch by this time, so everyone must be hungry.
"Go see Xu Ge first."
Luo Shan shook his head. "What if I go too late and the doctor is gone?"
Xu Ge was also hungry. At this time, he really wanted to say that he didn’t want to go to the doctor, and that they would just have a big meal here. I saw they were selling Chongqing noodles and hot and sour rice noodles!
The car turned off the national highway and headed straight towards the Kunlun Mountains along a cement road.
From a distance, you can see huge patterns built of stones on the hillsides of the majestic and towering mountains. There are tanks and armored vehicles representing military branches, as well as various slogans expressing determination.
After going down a slope, two large rows of barracks came into view.
At the gate of the military station, the sentry stopped the car and asked the purpose of the visit. When he learned that Luo Shan was looking for military doctor Lin Wan, he pointed in the direction of the infirmary.
Luo Shan asked Xu Ge and the other two to get out of the car, as he wanted to go to the gas station inside the military station to refuel.
"You go ahead and when you see the military doctor, tell him that the chief instructor sent you."
"yes!"
The military station is very large, with various dining areas and accommodation areas stretching over a large area.
The infirmary was on the first floor of the tallest dormitory building. When the three of them got there, they found that the door was closed.
"Are you going to get off work soon?" Li Dongshui asked.
Kaiyoumu leaned closer to the door and listened: "No, there will be someone on duty even after get off work... Hey, there's someone singing inside!"
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui also came over and heard someone inside singing a fast-paced song along with the accompaniment.
"We searched for shelter in trenches amidst the sound of machine gun fire..."
"The sand castle I made as a child is destroyed and I can just rebuild it..."
"But your blood-stained and bullet-riddled military jacket..."
I have to say that the song is good, but the singing of the singer is really not good enough.
Not only is the singing out of tune, the most important thing is that the singer can't even pronounce the lyrics clearly and often stutters.
Xu Ge listened for a while, and the more he listened, the more he felt that the voice inside was somewhat familiar. Just as he was wondering, "Knock, knock, knock!" Kai Youmu knocked on the door.
The accompaniment music in the infirmary stopped instantly.
Ta-ta-ta!
There was the sound of leather footsteps coming towards this side.
The door opened, and a female officer wearing a military uniform and a white coat appeared. She looked at the three recruits outside and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Xu Ge looked at the other person. He had short hair that reached his ears, and a heroic look between his eyebrows. His oval face gave people a gentle feeling.
Judging from her appearance alone, she is an absolute beauty, but her exact age is hard to tell. Judging from her voice, she should be in her early 20s.
Kai Youmu glanced at the medal on the female officer's chest, his face changed and he saluted quickly: "Hello, Chief!"
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui didn't know each other, but he knew that those rows of colorful squares meant that the other party was a real major officer!
Seeing the deputy squad leader's actions, Xu Ge and Li Dongshui also stood at attention and saluted.
"Report to the chief, we are here to find military doctor Lin Wan!" Kai Youmu said.
"That's me, what do you want?"
Lin Wan also looked at the three new recruits. Their collar badges were new, but their training uniforms were dirty and torn, and the smell of gunpowder was strong.
New recruits are unlikely to go to the battlefield so soon, and there hasn't been any fighting recently, so these three people should be soldiers from the front-line combat unit who have just finished shooting.
"Chief, we are here to see a doctor!" said Li Dongshui.
Lin Wan was stunned: "You want me to treat you? You came here on your own?"
"Report, the platoon leader brought us here. He went to refuel."
"Then who among you is treating the disease, and what is it?"
Kai Youmu pointed at Xu Ge and said, "Commander, he suddenly lost his voice!"
Lin Wan frowned. "How did you find this place? I'm a psychiatrist specializing in PTSD. For his condition, you should go to the ENT department at the military hospital, right?"
Kaiyoumu quickly said, "Commander, it was Chief Instructor Lei Shen who asked us to come find you."
Lin Wan then looked at Xu Ge: "What's going on with him?"
"After shooting today, he suddenly couldn't speak. Lei Shen said it might be due to some psychological stimulation..." Kai Youmu quickly recounted the general situation.
Lin Wan looked embarrassed. "I still have patients here, and the treatment is not over yet. Which unit are you from? Why don't you come back tomorrow morning?"
"Ah? This... Chief, we drove more than a hundred kilometers to get here!" Kai Youmu was also in trouble.
Before Lin Wan could say anything, a figure walked out of the infirmary and looked at Xu Ge: "You?"
Xu Ge looked up and was surprised to see the old man in casual clothes with a big beard. He opened his mouth and said, "Aba Aba?"
Old Face:???
Lin Wan looked curiously at Xu Ge and then at his old face: "Do you two know each other?"
The old man nodded and pointed at Xu Ge: "Heal!"
Lin Wan: "Then you..."
The old man shook his head, indicating that he should be left alone, and then pulled Xu Ge in.
"Alright then, that's all for your treatment today." Lin Wan no longer objected and followed him in.
. . .
. . .
The facilities in the infirmary are relatively simple and certainly not as good as those in a military hospital.
The consultation area outside only had a few stools, two single beds, a counter full of medicines, and a projector with a speaker system.
Lin Wan went inside to get the medical records, while everyone else sat outside waiting.
Xu Ge looked at the paused music interface on the projector and knew that the person who had just sung was Lao Lian.
I remembered that when Dr. Lin Wan introduced herself, she said her specialty was PTSD. Could it be that Lao Lian also has psychological problems?
Kai Youmu and Li Dongshui were secretly looking at the old face. They didn't know why Xu Ge knew this bearded man, but they guessed that the other party was very likely related to Thor.
At this time, Lin Wan came out with the medical records and sat in front of Xu Ge: "Unit, name, age, education, medical history and family history?"
Xu Ge: ...
"Commander, he can't speak!"
Li Dongshui whispered, "His name is Xu Ge. He's a new recruit in the first company of the Wolf Brigade's first regiment. He's 18 years old, graduated from high school, and scored 623 on the college entrance exam. He probably has no medical history."
Lin Wan raised her head and glanced at Xu Ge's expression. She wrote on the notebook for a while and said, "Next is the consultation session. You all should leave!"
Kaiyoumu hesitated: "Commander, he can't speak..."
"You can't speak and you can't write? Get out now and don't delay me from getting off work." Lin Wan said unhappily.
"yes!"
The three people, including Lao Lian, immediately got up and left, closing the door.
Lin Wan stood up, threw the medical record book on the counter, took off his white coat and hung it on the hanger, then packed his bag and said:
"Tell me, why are you pretending to be sick? Is the training in the recruit company too hard?"
It was only after the other party took off his white coat that Xu Ge realized that the military doctor in front of him was actually a major. He was shocked when he heard the other party's words and his face changed suddenly.
"Ah...Aba?"
"Still pretending, huh?"
Lin Wan turned around and glared at Xu Ge. "You're such a dishonest new recruit! I'm a psychology expert. I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at your micro-expressions!"
Xu Ge:!!!
"I heard from your comrades that your platoon leader drove a long way to bring you here. They care about you so much, how can you have the nerve to lie to them?" Lin Wanxun asked.
Xu Ge looked guilty, lowered his head and said nothing.
"If you don't speak, I'll tell your platoon leader that you're pretending to be sick and let him deal with you!" Lin Wan threatened.
Xu Ge knew he couldn't pretend any longer, so he had to speak up: "Doctor, it's not that I want to pretend, I have no choice!"
"Why?"
"Because I can't tell lies..." Xu Ge quickly covered his mouth halfway through his words.
Lin Wan was stunned at first, then looked at Xu Ge carefully, and concluded that what the new recruit had just said was true.
Now she became interested and sat down in front of Xu Ge again. "Tell me in detail why you can't tell a lie? Isn't it good to be an honest child like this?"
Xu Ge closed his mouth and shook his head.
"Is there some secret that cannot be told?"
"Um!"
"But your comrades said you just got sick today." Lin Wan tilted his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "So, you just realized today that you can't lie?"
"Um!"
Lin Wan's eyes lit up. "No wonder that Thor guy asked you to come find me. If what you said is true, this situation is really a completely new psychological phenomenon. Interesting!"
Xu Ge looked at Lin Wan, not knowing what the other party meant.
"I can promise that our conversation will not be leaked. You can trust me. This is a psychiatrist's code of ethics."
Lin Wan looked at Xu Ge, her tone gentle and charming, "Will you cooperate and answer my questions next?"
"Yes." Xu Ge nodded.
"May I have your name?"
"Xu Ge."
"How old?"
"18 years old."
"How old do you think I look?"
After asking two simple questions to lower Xu Ge's psychological defenses, Lin Wan immediately asked a third question that seemed unrelated to treatment.
She wanted to verify the extent to which this new recruit could not tell lies.
Xu Ge subconsciously looked at the major in front of him. Lin Wan sat up straight under Xu Ge's gaze.
Because of the viewing angle, the first thing Xu Ge saw was the other person's puffed-out chest, and he blurted out:
"I think it's at least the size of a C!"
