Suddenly, the man's whole body was suspended in the air, and the sudden downward force pulled out the two climbing nails that Li Yuemin had embedded in the rock wall.
If he hadn't fired several missiles in a row as a precaution, both of them would have been defeated.
At this moment, Li Yuemin finally saw the man's appearance clearly. It turned out to be an old man in military uniform. However, there was no mark on the uniform.
He has sword-like eyebrows and fierce eyes. Although he is a little fat, it does not affect his majestic temperament at all.
There was no injury to the upper body, only a big cut on the clothes.
One of his legs was probably broken and bleeding a lot. It had now frozen into ice. He must have been injured by the rocks he brought down when he fell into the mountain stream.
"Hey, why does this person look so familiar?"
Looking at it more carefully, Li Yuemin's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
"Oh my god, isn't this our chief of the West China Military Region, Chief Yin Jianping, in the previous life?"
"Comrade, luckily you tied the rope tightly, otherwise my old bones would have fallen into the mountain stream and become nutrients for the weeds."
...
...
"Hello, Chief! It's already this hour, please don't joke around. Try to keep your balance and don't shake."
After Li Yuemin finished speaking, he gave a beautiful military salute with one hand.
"Oh, you know me?"
“No.”
"Then how do you know I'm a soldier and a commander at that?
Have you ever been a soldier, or are you still serving in any unit?"
Although the old man was hanging in the air, his eyes could not hide his strong curiosity.
Zhuzi was also puzzled by Li Yuemin's standard military salute, and listened attentively to his answer.
"I am just a mountain guard. I salute you, but I am just guessing based on your temperament and demeanor."
Fortunately, Li Yuemin was quick-witted and reacted very quickly, and his response was very reasonable.
"Haha, you've made a mistake. I'm just an ordinary mountain man who looks like the chief."
"Saving people is saving people. I don't care who you are."
Li Yuemin didn't know why the old leader didn't acknowledge his identity, but he didn't want to know.
Because he had no plans to join the army in this life, even if his younger brother Yuejin wanted to join the barracks, he already had a relationship with Director Zhao.
Li Yuemin was seen speaking as he shook the rope above, gradually pulling Chief Yin towards him.
Commander Yin seemed to understand his intention. He kicked his legs hard and pushed hard, and his whole body fell to his side.
Li Yuemin took advantage of the situation and grabbed his sleeve, wrapping his strong arms around half of the old leader's body.
"Old man, please hold on to this rope with both hands, we are going to slide down.
Don't worry, this rope can definitely handle the weight of both of us."
After saying that, Li Yuemin held the rope tightly with one hand, crossed his legs, and slid down the rope little by little.
When they were almost at the bottom, Zhuzi came over to help.
"Old man, put your good leg on my shoulder."
Li Yuemin jumped down first, and together with Zhuzi, he brought Chief Yin back to the ground safely.
At this time, Chief Yin's face turned pale due to excessive blood loss and he fainted.
"Brother, I'm afraid his leg is going to be crippled."
"It's not certain yet. I need a place sheltered from the wind to put a splint on him first."
"Brother, there is a cave in front of the mountain stream. When my father was alive, he took me to rest in it. I just don't know if it has been occupied by wild beasts now."
"There is no time to lose, lend a hand, let's go!"
Li Yuemin took off his cotton vest, wrapped it around Chief Yin's injured leg and said.
"Brother, let me carry you. I'm stronger than you."
After Zhuzi finished speaking, he took off the basket on his back, bent down, and asked Li Yuemin to help the old leader onto his back. He walked forward anxiously.
Although there is a hot spring a few meters away in the mountain stream, the snow in front is very thick. Every step is very strenuous.
Besides, Zhuzi was carrying an old man weighing 150 to 160 kilograms on his back.
It took more than half an hour to walk out of the stream, a road nearly a thousand meters long.
Zhuzi raised his hand and pointed at a cave above and said:
"Brother, see it, it's right there."
Li Yuemin looked up and saw that he still had to climb a 50-meter-long slope.
Seeing that Zhuzi was struggling, he carried Commander Yin on his back, let Zhuzi hold on, and climbed up by holding on to the protruding rocks with both hands.
Weighted cross-country running is his strong point. Fortunately, the slope is not steep, so Li Yuemin climbed up without much effort.
The two men went into the cave and found straw on the ground.
"Brother, go get some branches and light the fire."
Zhuzi responded, turned around and went out. Not long after, he came back holding a bundle of dry branches.
Soon, a warm firelight illuminated the dim cave. Seeing the temperature rising, Li Yuemin used his hand to cut open Chief Yin's trouser leg and carefully checked the wound.
It was found that the lower leg was fractured. Fortunately, it was not comminuted. As long as the broken bones were connected and fixed with a splint, there should be no big problem.
So he stood up, picked up the axe, and went out of the cave.
He found a suitable tree trunk, felled it, and in no time, split it into two thin boards. After smoothing the edges, he returned to the cave.
He opened the backpack and took out a simple medicine bag. He first used iodine to clean Chief Yin's wound, then applied gentian violet and wrapped it with thick gauze.
"Brother, why did you think of bringing these things? Isn't this too detailed?"
While cleaning the wound, Li Yuemin replied:
"Once you enter the mountains, you don't know what accidents might happen. Bumps and scrapes are normal. It would be useless if you don't have some anti-inflammatory stuff."
While speaking, Commander Yin's leg was reconnected and splinted with a very skillful technique.
Only then did he let out a long sigh and reached out to warm himself by the fire.
Zhuzi looked at Li Yuemin under the firelight and was puzzled:
"Brother, your professional techniques are just like those of a doctor performing surgery. Why do I feel like you are becoming more and more incomprehensible to me?"
"Why do you have to understand it so clearly? Didn't Zheng Banqiao say 'It's rare to be confused'? I think it's better for you to be a little confused."
In fact, as a special forces soldier in his previous life, Li Yuemin knew bandaging wounds and dealing with emergencies and sudden incidents as essential parts of his training.
Not to mention a simple fracture, even some relatively minor operations are easily handled by Li Yuemin.
Because he was very motivated and eager to learn, he would go to the infirmary to see how his good friend, the army doctor, treated patients.
As the temperature in the cave rose, Commander Yin gradually woke up.
Looking at his bandaged leg, he asked Li Yuemin in confusion:
"Did you make this? It looks like you did it professionally.
What's your name, young man? Which village are you from?"
"Oh, my name is Li Yuemin, and this is my brother Zhuzi. We are both from Hongqi Village.
By the way, old man, why did you come to the deep mountains alone?
My brother said that he just saw you fall off your horse into the ravine.
Can you tell me what is going on?"
