At Tiancheng Hospital, Liu Haizhu had just returned from the water room with hot water when he heard people talking inside the ward.
Pushing open the door, I saw an old lady sitting next to my battalion commander, and an old man standing beside her.
Looking at the battalion commander's face, one immediately knew that his parents had arrived.
"Grandpa, Grandma, you've arrived! You must be tired from your journey. Have you eaten?"
"This is?"
Zhang Guizhi looked at the young man who had suddenly appeared in front of her with a suspicious expression, and then asked.
"Mother, this is Zhuzi, one of my soldiers. The regimental commander sent him to escort me back this time, and I'm very grateful for his help along the way!"
"Oh, I see!"
After listening to Xiao Chengyi's introduction, Zhang Guizhi warmly stepped forward and shook Liu Haizhu's hand.
"Young man, thank you so much! You've taken such good care of my youngest child all this way!"
"Auntie, you can't say that. Taking care of the battalion commander is what I should do. I don't deserve your thanks. Besides, if the battalion commander hadn't been trying to save me, he wouldn't have been so badly injured!"
As Liu Haizhu spoke, his eyes reddened again, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Grandpa, Grandma, it's all my fault. I caused the battalion commander to get injured. You can hit me or scold me, I'll take it all!"
"What are you doing, child? Get up!"
Although Zhang Guizhi felt a little sad when she heard that her son was injured while saving someone.
But then I thought, my son is a soldier, and the young man in front of me is his comrade-in-arms. On the battlefield, no soldier would abandon his comrade-in-arms.
"Auntie, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, the battalion commander wouldn't have been injured!"
Xiao Chengyi frowned even more deeply as he looked at Liu Haizhu kneeling on the ground, and said sternly:
"Liu Haizhu, stand up!"
"battalion commander...."
“Stand up. Look at yourself. It’s not like I’m beyond help. Besides, even if I were to become incurable, it’s none of your business.”
On the battlefield, not only you and me, but everyone is a comrade-in-arms who entrusts their lives to each other.
Do you expect me to stand by and watch your lives be in danger and do nothing?
Trading one leg for several lives is a worthwhile deal. Even if the leg doesn't heal, it's still a good deal. Besides, the doctor said my leg will get better, didn't he?
If you keep doing this, get back to your unit right now and get out of my way!
"battalion commander...."
Liu Haizhu wiped the tears from his face and sniffed awkwardly. He knew the battalion commander was right, but he still felt extremely guilty.
If he hadn't stepped on the landmine, none of what happened later would have occurred, and the battalion commander wouldn't have been injured.
Seemingly sensing Liu Haizhu's thoughts, Xiao Chengyi sighed helplessly.
"Alright, don't think about it too much. I know you're upset, so I'll punish you by making you take good care of me for the next few days until I'm discharged from the hospital, then you can go back, okay?"
"Yes, I will definitely take good care of the battalion commander!"
"Then cheer up. I don't want to see you looking like you've lost your wife every day."
"Commander, I don't have a wife yet!"
"So what? Do you want me to introduce you to someone?"
Sensing the pressure in Xiao Chengyi's words, Liu Haizhu shuddered and immediately said:
"No need, really no need. Battalion Commander, please rest well. I'll go get food for the elderly!"
After saying that, Liu Haizhu grabbed the lunchbox from the table next to him and dashed out.
