In the ward of the Central Hospital, Xiao Chengyi, who had been unconscious for more than ten hours, finally woke up. The happiest person was Liu Haizhu, who had been watching over him.
It should be noted that Xiao Chengyi was injured in the explosion while trying to save Liu Haizhu's life.
Although Xiao Chengyi didn't say anything, Liu Haizhu still felt very guilty. Now that Xiao Chengyi had woken up, Liu Haizhu was relieved.
"Battalion Commander, you're finally awake! You scared me to death! If you weren't feeling well, why didn't you call me? Don't do that again! If anything happened to you, how could I face the regimental commander and the others when I got back!"
The seven-foot-tall man's eyes were red-rimmed, and tears were welling up in them...
Before Xiao Chengyi woke up, he had been suppressing his emotions.
Seeing that the person was awake, he became so excited that he lost control and his emotions erupted.
"I'm fine, don't worry!"
Having not eaten for a while, Xiao Chengyi's voice was a little hoarse. Liu Haizhu, forgetting to wipe away his tears, quickly picked up some lukewarm water that had been cooled down and fed it to Xiao Chengyi.
"Battalion Commander, have some water first, then we can talk!"
Xiao Chengyi didn't say anything, but took a few sips from Liu Haizhu's hand.
With the soothing warmth of the water, Xiao Chengyi's throat felt much better.
"I'm fine now. It was just an accident. I didn't expect it to be this serious!"
"Battalion Commander, you are a wounded soldier now, so you should listen to the doctor and take good care of your injuries. Last time at the military hospital, everyone couldn't persuade you otherwise, so they sent you back."
Who would have thought you'd be in the hospital again? This time, you absolutely have to recover fully before you leave, or I'll cling to you and act like a scoundrel, I won't let you leave!
"Alright, look at you, you didn't tell the commander about my hospital stay, did you?"
Liu Haizhu touched his nose, feeling slightly guilty.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Chengyi immediately frowned.
"The commander and the others are so busy right now, with so many things to do. How can I keep bothering them with such a small matter?"
"Battalion Commander, I was wrong. I was just anxious and flustered. But even if I didn't tell the regimental commander, they would have found out!"
The commander specifically sent people from the Sweet City garrison to meet you because he was worried about you; they were there when you were unconscious.
The regimental commander's father, Division Commander Song, has also come, and even sent someone to pick up Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao! They're probably on their way now!
Xiao Chengyi opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything more. In his current situation, all he could do was cooperate with the doctor's treatment and get better as soon as possible.
Back when he was at the military hospital, he overheard a doctor saying that his leg might not heal.
He couldn't bear the blow and didn't want to cause trouble for the army, so he decided to retire and go home to recover from his injuries.
Who knew that the regimental commander would refuse to release him no matter what, and even granted him six months of sick leave and arranged for someone to send him back. Now that this incident has happened, Xiao Chengyi feels somewhat ashamed.
I felt a little guilty for causing trouble for my superiors.
Seeing that the battalion commander was in a low mood, Liu Haizhu could guess what was going on.
He has been with the battalion commander since he joined the army as a new recruit, and has risen from a common soldier to his current position as a platoon leader.
Over the course of four years, I can say that I have a complete understanding of the battalion commander, but I can at least guess a few things about his thoughts.
"Battalion Commander, don't overthink it. It's not just the Regiment Commander; all of us are reluctant to see you leave the army. Your surgery was a great success."
Commander Song has hired an exceptionally good surgeon. I already inquired about him, and the doctor said that as long as you cooperate well with the treatment, you'll recover quickly.
"real?"
"Of course, would I lie about this! Besides, the doctor will be coming to check on you soon, you can ask him yourself then!"
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Xiao Chengyi's heart. Perhaps his leg could really get better! Then he wouldn't have to leave the army.
Xiao Chengyi joined the army at the age of seventeen and is now twenty-three years old. He has been in the army for six years.
In those six years, he participated in many battles, and his position and rank were earned with his life.
Over the past six years, he has suffered countless injuries, leaving numerous scars on his chest and back. He loves the military and his profession.
In the Progressive Brigade, as the car drove away, the brigade began to murmur again, especially since many people saw Xiao Yuanshan and Zhang Guizhi leave in the car.
Zhang Sufeng couldn't even bother with work right now. After getting the news from Li Tiejun, she immediately asked for leave and rushed back to her parents' home.
Zhang Sufeng married into the Jinbu Brigade, while her family lived in the neighboring Qianjin Brigade.
Zhang Shuren, the captain of the Forward Brigade, was Zhang Sufeng's biological father and Zhang Guizhi's cousin; the two shared the same grandfather.
From the time she married into the Qianjin Brigade to the Jinbu Brigade, Zhang Guizhi took great care of her niece. In return, Zhang Sufeng also cared deeply for her aunt, Zhang Guizhi.
Just as Zhang Guizhi ran back to Qianjin Brigade, she and Xiao Yuanshan had already arrived at the commune gate by car.
After explaining the situation to the gatekeeper, they met with their eldest son, Xiao Chengze, immediately.
"Father, Mother, what happened? Why are you all here?"
"Boss, Third Brother is injured and is currently at Tiancheng Central Hospital. The army is sending people to pick us up, and we thought we should let you and Chengyu know, so we asked the comrades who came to pick us up to stop here for a while!"
"Is the third brother injured? Is it serious? How is he?"
"Right now they're only saying there's no danger to his life, but we don't even know if he's awake or not!"
"Dad, Mom, wait for me a moment. I'll ask my boss for leave and come with you. That way, we can look after each other if anything happens!"
