"Great! There's a comrade in our village who has injured his leg. Lin Zhiqing, can you treat him?"
The captain said excitedly.
Gu Nanxun's leg has always been a thorn in his side! He felt sorry for Gu Nanxun, who was injured for the country and is now in such a state!
But he himself was powerless to help! He also had a family to support and couldn't really help Nanxun. If Lin Zhiqing could cure Nanxun's leg, that would be truly wonderful.
"I need to examine my leg first to know if it can be treated."
Lin Qing secretly clenched her hands, reminding herself not to lose her composure.
“Yes, we need to take a look first. Come on, I'll take you to see him. Lin Zhiqing, you must heal Comrade Gu's leg! Nanxun is a good comrade. He's a soldier. His leg was injured for the country, but his family doesn't care about him. They've cut ties with him and kicked him out. If his leg isn't healed, he probably won't live much longer…”
The captain wiped away his tears and choked out. The usually serious captain had suddenly become talkative for some reason, talking to Lin Qing about Gu Nanxun the whole way.
Lin Qing's tears welled up again. She had held back for a long time, but in the end, all her efforts were in vain.
"Lin Zhiqing, what's wrong with you...?"
"It's nothing, I'm just really touched. My older brothers are also soldiers, and I've always admired soldiers since I was little. When I heard you talk about Comrade Gu, I just couldn't help but..."
"Captain, don't worry, I will do my best to cure Comrade Gu."
The captain raised his arm with satisfaction, wanting to pat Lin Qing on the shoulder, but then lowered it again, thinking it inappropriate.
"Lin Zhiqing, you are also a good comrade..."
Soon, the brigade leader led Lin Qing to the vicinity of the educated youth settlement and pointed to the dilapidated houses in the distance, saying to Lin Qing:
“This house used to belong to a hunter. After the hunter passed away, the house was empty! He had nowhere else to go, so we let him stay here for the time being.”
Although Lin Qing already knew that Gu Nanxun was having a miserable time, she never expected that even this dilapidated house didn't belong to Brother Nanxun!
An indescribable heartache surged from the depths of her heart, rushing to her throat and choking her until she couldn't utter a sound.
"Nanxun, may I come in?"
"Captain!" someone knocked on the door and called out loudly.
"Uncle Qiang, come in."
The voice inside the room was hoarse and weak. Uncle Qiang was the brigade leader, whose name was Liu Zhiqiang.
The captain led Lin Qing inside!
Isn't that the girl who ran out just now? Gu Nanxun has a great memory! Even though he only glanced at her briefly, he remembered her!
The little girl in front of me had red eyes, clearly from crying. Her peach blossom eyes were watery and looked like they might drop golden pearls at any moment.
Her slightly chubby cheeks were flushed, her skin was so smooth and delicate, it looked like you could squeeze water out of it, and the tip of her nose was red, making her look a little aggrieved.
For some reason, even though it was their first meeting, seeing Lin Qing like this, Gu Nanxun had an urge to immediately pull her into his arms. Gu Nanxun clenched his fists tightly, forcefully suppressing his thoughts.
"Nanxun, this is Lin Qing, Lin Zhiqing. Lin Zhiqing is a doctor. I brought her here for you to take a look."
Gu Nanxun knew that it wouldn't make a difference who looked after him. He had already been to the best hospital in the military region! Even the military doctors couldn't do anything, let alone this young girl in front of him.
Gu Nanxun looked up at the expectant little girl in front of him, and swallowed the refusal that was about to come out.
"If you want to see a doctor, then go ahead! It's okay if you can't get better. Don't feel pressured. I've already been to the military hospital, and the doctors there said there was no hope!"
Gu Nanxun spoke gently to Lin Qing, worried that the young girl might be upset if she didn't take good care of herself!
Looking at Gu Nanxun's gentle tone, Lin Qing's tears welled up again. She didn't even know how many times she had cried today! She had always been strong and rarely cried.
Because she knew that crying wouldn't solve anything! But Gu Nanxun always managed to make her cry so easily.
Seeing the little girl cry again, Gu Nanxun struggled to sit up. He saw Lin Qing's tears, and his throat began to hurt, the pain spreading to his heart, making him feel flustered and confused.
"Don't cry, it's okay, my leg is fine, it doesn't hurt..."
Gu Nanxun wanted to wipe away Lin Qing's tears, but then felt that he was being disrespectful!
Lin Qing's crying made him panic, and he could only awkwardly comfort her, repeatedly saying that she was fine and her leg didn't hurt.
The more Gu Nanxun tried to comfort her, the harder Lin Qing cried. Helpless, he sat on the bed, clenching his hands so tightly that his toenails dug into his flesh...
After a long while, Lin Qing calmed down and walked forward. She looked at Gu Nanxun's leg and said to the captain:
"Captain, I need to go back to the educated youth settlement to get some medicine. Could you please take off Comrade Gu's pants?"
After saying that, Lin Qing turned and walked towards the educated youth settlement.
Lin Qing returned to the educated youth settlement and, pretending to take things from her bundle but actually from her spatial storage, retrieved some spiritual spring water, some gauze, a bottle of saline solution, a pair of sterilized scissors, a pair of sterilized scalpels, some anesthetic, and some oral anti-inflammatory drugs. She also crushed some of the anti-inflammatory drugs.
Lin Qing originally wanted to get an IV drip, but was afraid of getting too many and arousing suspicion! Besides, with the spiritual spring water, anti-inflammatory medicine should also be available!
After taking the things, Lin Qing went to Gu Nanxun's house! At this time, Gu Nanxun was sitting on the bed. He had already washed up and his face was clean. He no longer had that decadent aura.
"Comrade Gu, please put your legs down!"
Gu Nanxun sat on the edge of the bed, put his legs down on his shoes, and covered his upper body with the quilt, covering his private parts.
Lin Qing, gently cut the gauze off your leg with scissors! The wound had been left untreated for a long time and had rotted and stuck to your leg; blood flowed out with a gentle pull.
Lin Qing's hands trembled, and sweat poured down her face, some even getting into her eyes.
"Lin Zhiqing, don't be nervous. My legs are useless now, I can't feel anything, and I can't feel any pain at all."
Gu Nanxun suddenly felt a little fortunate that his leg was crippled! That way, the little girl wouldn't have to worry about her being in pain.
Finally, the gauze was completely removed. Lin Qing knew that Gu Nanxun was unconscious, but she still couldn't help feeling nervous.
Gu Nanxun wasn't in pain, but she was. It was like she knew Gu Nanxun didn't need anesthesia, but she still couldn't help bringing him along.
Lin Qing first rinsed the wound with spiritual spring water, then rinsed it with saline solution. Then, she picked up a scalpel and carefully cleaned away the necrotic flesh from both legs!
Then rinse again with saline solution and spring water in sequence, and finally sprinkle crushed anti-inflammatory medicine on the leg and wrap it with gauze.
Seeing Lin Qing's professional and meticulous movements, the captain excitedly pinched his thigh.
Their Chaoyang Brigade has truly struck gold! The brigade leader desperately suppressed the urge to immediately go back and help Lin Zhiqing build a house, and continued to watch.
