Chapter 306: Unwell



"Captain Zhou, how about... I come to your office this afternoon? If we talk here, will it disturb that comrade's rest?" Li Hongmei felt a little uneasy when she saw Zhou Zhixin's unhappy expression. She had come to Zhou Zhixin to improve his favorability, not to make him dislike her.

However, Li Hongmei was always accustomed to setting traps for others. Even though she sensed Zhou Zhixin's displeasure, she still habitually stepped on Zhao Yunxiang. What did she mean by "disturbing that comrade's rest"? Wasn't this clearly implying that Zhao Yunxiang didn't support Zhou Zhixin's work enough?

Zhou Zhixin's house wasn't very big, and the soundproofing wasn't very good. After Zhao Yunxiang entered, the conversation in the living room still reached her ears. Li Hongmei didn't deliberately lower her voice when she said this, but raised her voice a little, as if she was speaking to Zhao Yunxiang.

In the room, Zhao Yunxiang took several deep breaths before she controlled the urge to rush out. "Meow, meow, what the hell is this red plum blossom?" She was already picking on me the moment they met, and now she was even provoking me in front of Zhou Zhixin? Did he think she, Zhao Yunxiang, was deaf?

After Zhao Yunxiang entered the house, she remembered the tea she had just bought two days ago. She had originally planned to go out and be a good hostess and pour a cup of tea for Zhou Zhixin and the visitor. But now it seemed that she could save the boiled water for this red plum blossom. She would come back next time and see if she would open the door!

Zhao Yunxiang's heart was boiling with rage. "Take a deep breath, take a deep breath," Yuanyuan had said. "It helps calm your nerves." Zhao Yunxiang remembered what her little friend had been whispering so often, and she couldn't help but do it.

In the living room, Zhou Zhixin's face darkened after Li Hongmei said that. He wasn't very smart, but that didn't mean he was stupid. Zhou Zhixin could still understand Li Hongmei's implication about Zhao Yunxiang.

"Comrade Li Hongmei, I didn't introduce her to you just now. The female comrade who opened the door for you just now is my wife Zhao Yunxiang. You can call her 'sister-in-law' or 'Comrade Zhao Yunxiang', not that comrade." Zhou Zhixin was unhappy and did not give Li Hongmei any face when he spoke.

While Li Hongmei may have saved Zhou Zhixin's life, that doesn't excuse her from attacking his wife, does it? Besides, Zhou Zhixin knew full well how much truth there was in Li Hongmei's "lifesaving grace." As a military doctor, it was Li Hongmei's duty to save the dying and the wounded. Did she have to go to someone's house and start nagging them every time she saved an officer over the years?

In the middle of the day, not only did she come to my house under the pretext of reporting work, but she also bullied the hostess Zhao Yunxiang in subtle ways. Is Li Hongmei mentally ill?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhixin looked at Li Hongmei with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Captain Zhou, what's wrong?" Li Hongmei felt that Zhou Zhixin looked at her strangely and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing. Comrade Li Hongmei, didn't you say you had something to report? Let's get started!" Zhou Zhixin put aside the doubts in his heart and brought the topic back to the main business.

At the beginning of last month, Zhou Zhixin led his soldiers on a mission to hone their ability to respond to emergencies. The mission itself wasn't difficult; it was just routine training with some emergency response.

Five days ago, a small team strayed into a valley. Something strange was going on in that valley, and the team members spent half an hour wandering around in it, unable to find their way out. Half an hour later, for some unknown reason, the team members, frantically picking up their weapons, began shooting at each other.

At this time, the quality of the individual soldiers was very obvious. Among the twelve team members, four were seriously injured and the other eight were slightly injured.

After everything was over, Zhou Zhixin and his team finally found the valley. Before they could figure out what was going on in the valley, Zhou Zhixin ordered the soldiers from another team to remove all their weapons, and he led the team into the valley, directing them to get the twelve wounded out.

There was only one medical officer in Zhou Zhixin's battalion. Several lightly wounded soldiers were fine after being bandaged, but the four seriously injured soldiers had no medical conditions to remove the bullets from their bodies, so they had to stop the bleeding and bandage them hastily. Then Zhou Zhixin notified the garrison to send people to rescue them.

Although the valley is only a hundred kilometers away from Kyoto City, the weather is too hot. If the bullets in the wounded's bodies are not removed immediately by surgery, they may become infected. In addition, the seriously injured have lost too much blood, making it unsuitable to send them to the hospital over long distances.

After receiving Zhou Zhixin's call for help, the regiment immediately dispatched four military doctors to Zhou Zhixin's station. Li Hongmei was one of them.

The wounded man that Li Hongmei was in charge of was called Xu Heizi. He had been shot in the abdomen and his intestines were almost spilling out. Although Li Hongmei had a bad personality, her medical skills were good.

After Li Hongmei arrived at the base, she immediately performed surgery on Xu Heizi in a simple operating room. Xu Heizi had lost too much blood, and after Li Hongmei cleaned the wound and sutured it, Xu Heizi fell into a deep coma.

Xu Heizi's blood type is quite special, O-negative. The plasma brought by Li Hongmei and her team did not contain this type of blood at all.

Li Hongmei dragged her exhausted body to find a few soldiers to match Xu Heizi's blood type. Fortunately, there were two soldiers in Zhou Zhixin's battalion with the same blood type as Xu Heizi, which saved Xu Heizi's life.

Under Li Hongmei's careful care, Xu Heizi's condition is currently stable.

Zhou Zhixin requested assistance this time, and the regiment headquarters also strongly supported Zhou Zhixin's work. Four military doctors were directly sent to the four seriously injured soldiers, winning precious time for the wounded.

After the wounded's wounds had healed from the rough ride, Zhou Zhixin led most of the soldiers back to the base yesterday afternoon, leaving two teams stationed outside that strange little valley.

Several wounded soldiers, still wounded, had to be sent to the Kyoto City Third Army Hospital. Zhou Zhixin had returned to his base yesterday, and without even time to go home, he followed the ambulance to the hospital, where he spent the entire day.

Li Hongmei met Zhou Zhixin in N City. Three years ago, Li Hongmei had just joined the army and was immediately assigned to work as a doctor in the N City Military District Hospital. Zhou Zhixin was only a company commander at that time.

During a training session, Zhou Zhixin accidentally broke his thigh bone and was admitted to the hospital. Not wanting to worry his family, he didn't call Zhao Yunxiang at the time. During those days, Zhou Zhixin's hospital room was unattended by family members, and even going to the bathroom at night was difficult.

Li Hongmei, upholding the spirit of mutual love and support among comrades, would come to take care of Zhou Zhixin whenever she was free at night. She said that she went back to the dormitory to sleep anyway, and since Zhou Zhixin had two beds in the ward, sleeping there would also help him, killing two birds with one stone.
