The two brothers, Ning Zhiheng and Miao Yongyi, were overjoyed to finally meet again. Both of them felt as if they had been separated for a lifetime and were filled with emotion.
Since Ning Zhiheng was suddenly summoned away by an order a year ago upon graduation, the two have not seen each other again. They have never been separated for so long since they were young. Miao Yongyi was always worried about Ning Zhiheng's whereabouts, but he soon went to the Northwest front with the army. After that, many things happened, and he never had the chance to look for Ning Zhiheng again.
Ning Zhiheng wrote to Miao Yongyi many times, but received no reply. In addition, he had experienced so much in the past year that he simply did not have time to carefully search for Miao Yongyi's whereabouts. It was not until half a month ago that he saw his brother who was already unconscious.
Ning Zhiheng helped Miao Yongyi to sit down on the hospital bed. At this moment, a lieutenant colonel on the bed next to Ning Zhiheng looked at Ning Zhiheng and said softly, "Excuse me, are you Major Ning Zhiheng?"
Ning Zhiheng looked up and immediately recognized him. This was the officer who was seriously injured and had a fever. His comrade Wu Tongguang had knelt down and begged Ning Zhiheng for medicine. In the end, Ning Zhiheng had no choice but to give him a vial of sulfamethoxazole. Now it seemed that the lieutenant colonel had recovered well and should be fine.
Ning Zhiheng nodded slightly and said, "It's me. We've met before, but you were unconscious at the time. It seems you've recovered quite well now."
Upon hearing that it was indeed Ning Zhiheng, the lieutenant colonel quickly stood up, stepped forward, and grasped Ning Zhiheng's hand, saying gratefully, "Thank you so much, Major Ning, for saving my life. After I woke up, Tong Guang told me that it was the sulfonamide you gave me that saved my life. I have no way to repay you!"
Seeing the gratitude on his face, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. The situation was not like that at the time. He had almost beaten Wu Tongguang to death for that one dose of sulfonamide. In the end, he was forced by circumstances to give away the medicine. Now that the other party was coming to express his gratitude, he felt really embarrassed.
"You flatter me. You should thank your brother, Major Wu. I really didn't do anything!" Ning Zhiheng said somewhat awkwardly.
Miao Yongyi, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up: "Major Wu's injuries are relatively minor, and he has been sent to the rear base for treatment. This is Regiment Commander Chen Zhengwen of the 25th Division. He has been asking me about you these days, saying that he wants to thank you in person."
After Miao Yongyi regained consciousness, all the fellow patients and medical staff took great care of him. He later learned about everything that had happened in the ward. It turned out that his brother Ning Zhiheng had found him and brought him the life-saving sulfonamide. Life is truly unpredictable. Who would have thought that he would meet Ning Zhiheng on the front lines of the Shanghai-Nanjing border? Unfortunately, he was unconscious at the time, and the two brothers did not have a chance to talk. It was a great pity.
Afterwards, Ning Zhiheng's subordinate officer Ji Hongyi not only made a special trip to visit Miao Yongyi, but also brought a large amount of precious Western medicine, which made everyone overjoyed. At the same time, the medical staff also took good care of Miao Yongyi because of his good health. In addition, Miao Yongyi recovered quickly and is now able to walk on the ground.
With Miao Yongyi's introduction, Ning Zhiheng and Chen Zhengwen greeted each other again and exchanged a few words.
Seeing that there were too many people in the ward, Ning Zhiheng helped Miao Yongyi to sit down in the courtyard outside the ward, and the two of them told each other about their experiences over the past year.
It turned out that Miao Yongyi was on the front line at the time, but not long after, he was seriously injured in an accident and left the army. He stayed at a villager's house for a long time before returning to the unit. At that time, Ning Zhiheng's letter did not reach him. Later, the army kept changing its station and was eventually transferred to the Shanghai front to participate in the Battle of Shanghai.
When they talked about their classmates, Miao Yongyi couldn't control himself for a long time. At that time, nearly 30% of the classmates in the class died in the battle between Yangxing and Yunzaobang, including his closest brother Ke Chengyun.
Ning Zhiheng was also overwhelmed with grief. So many classmates had died in battle, making him feel the pain of life and death once again.
Finally, Ning Zhiheng briefly recounted his experiences over the past year to Miao Yongyi, but naturally, he couldn't tell Miao Yongyi anything involving classified information.
In fact, Miao Yongyi had already learned from Ji Hongyi that his brother had joined the Military Intelligence Investigation Department and had now been promoted to the rank of major. However, he still found it hard to believe that his usually introverted and taciturn brother had transformed into an intelligence agent. This huge contrast was hard for Miao Yongyi to comprehend.
After hearing Ning Zhiheng's account, Miao Yongyi said with emotion, "I really didn't expect that Instructor He would send you to such a confidential department as the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. No wonder I asked people to inquire about your whereabouts many times, but I couldn't find out at all. Now you've become the leader of the action team and the captain of the special agent brigade. You've really changed a lot in just a few days!"
Ning Zhiheng also gave a wry smile. He knew that Miao Yongyi was straightforward and didn't like intelligence work. However, everyone has their own ambitions and their own path to follow, so he didn't say anything more about it.
Instead, she changed the subject and continued, "In June of this year, my whole family moved away from Hangzhou and went to Chongqing for temporary refuge. I also brought your parents and family over there. They are living well now, and with my father taking care of them, you don't have to worry about anything."
"What? You've sent my parents to Chongqing?" Miao Yongyi was shocked when he heard Ning Zhiheng's words. He had no idea what was going on. Why was Ning Zhiheng moving his whole family and taking his parents with him?
