He had a deep impression of this woman. He remembered that she had not suffered any injuries before and was not so weak that she needed medical treatment.
Moreover, she was just an ordinary citizen, she had never been to the battlefield, she didn't know anyone in the army, and there were no wounded soldiers to visit.
It's so late, why is she coming to the medical tent instead of resting in her own tent?
Li Xiulan seemed to sense Lu Huaiyan's scrutinizing gaze, and hurriedly explained: "Comrade, I'm so sorry, I suddenly had a high fever tonight, and I felt dizzy from the fever. I really had no choice, so I came to the medical tent to see if there was any medicine to reduce the fever."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and touched her burning cheek, which was particularly red because of the fever. She pursed her lips and said with a worried look on her face: "Did I cause you any trouble? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I'll go back now..."
Li Xiulan's words were full of guilt and she lowered her head.
Lu Huaiyan's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and he frowned slightly. After a moment, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you having a fever? How do you feel now? Have you found any medicine?"
Li Xiulan forced a smile and replied, "Much better. I just took some medicine and now I feel better. I just have a headache. I'm going back to the tent to rest."
Lu Huaiyan nodded slightly and said nothing more, hiding the doubt in his eyes.
Then, Li Xiulan turned around and left.
However, when Li Xiulan walked past him, Lu Huaiyan suddenly turned his head and stared at her back.
There was an elusive depth in his eyes and his brows were furrowed.
The scene just now kept replaying in his mind. Li Xiulan's panic and the tone of her explanation made him feel that something was wrong.
Something always feels wrong.
As he was thinking, there was suddenly a sound of hurried footsteps outside the camp, and a signalman hurried in with a telegram in his hand.
He shouted loudly: "Urgent order! We are required to send troops to support the third unit immediately. They have encountered fierce attacks from the enemy and the situation is extremely critical!"
Political Commissar Wang took the telegram and his expression instantly became solemn.
Chief Fang on the side was also looking at the telegram, his brows furrowed, his expression very embarrassed.
Commander Fang sighed and said, "We don't have many troops now, and the enemy is eyeing our camp covetously. In this situation, we still need to send troops to break through and provide support. This is too difficult. Can we do it?"
Hearing this, Political Commissar Wang nodded helplessly: "Yes, once we divide our forces, our defense will be even weaker, and the camp will likely be in danger."
The two of them looked conflicted, but the situation was too urgent to allow them to hesitate any longer.
They were in a dilemma when Lu Huaiyan strode forward, looking serious and determined, and said, "Political Commissar, Commander Fang, let me lead the team this time."
Lu Huaiyan's tone was solemn.
At this time, the longer they delay, the more danger they may face. They cannot give the enemy a chance to prepare and must send reinforcements as soon as possible so that they can catch the enemy off guard.
Moreover, he was also worried that what happened in the dream was real.
If he leads the team, they can be more careful and the possibility of being ambushed will be lower.
It was quickly confirmed that Lu Huaiyan would lead a team to provide support.
Before leaving, Chief Fang looked worried, patted Lu Huaiyan on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Huaiyan, remember, you must be careful. This mission is difficult and it affects the direction of the entire battle."
After saying this, he even signaled with his eyes.
Lu Huaiyan agreed.
This is to warn him to be careful of traitors and not fall into the enemy's ambush.
Soon, Lu Huaiyan quickly reorganized the team and prepared to set off immediately to lead the team to support the third force.
Just before they were about to set off, Li Xiulan ran out from some tent again, with tears in her eyes. She walked up to Lu Huaiyan and said in a sobbing voice, "Comrade, you must bring my husband and son back safely!"
"Without them, I really don't want to live..."
Lu Huaiyan listened to her words and nodded, "Don't worry, we will definitely do our best."
Li Xiulan had a look of gratitude on her face. She bent her legs and was about to kneel down and kowtow to Lu Huaiyan. Fortunately, someone nearby was quick to pull her up.
"You're welcome. This is what we as soldiers should do..."
-
Chuncheng, military compound.
The rain outside was on and off, and Jiang Xiachu's mood was also fluctuating, but in order not to delay the rehearsal progress, she had been trying hard to control her emotions and tried her best to focus on training.
One day, during training.
Du Jing strode into the rehearsal room and looked at Teacher Cheng with a serious expression.
After a moment, she cleared her throat, looked at everyone, and said loudly: "Comrades, the situation on the front line is serious now, and the situation around our military region is becoming more and more complicated. The superiors have decided to temporarily transfer most of the personnel to safe areas in order to avoid unnecessary casualties and to maximize the safety of the military personnel."
Du Jing's tone was serious. As soon as he finished speaking, the entire training room fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, and then began to discuss various issues.
"A sudden transfer? Is it that serious?"
“How terrible…”
"What on earth happened that is so serious?"
“…”
Meng Anyao and Xu Qingqing were standing in the corner, their faces as pale as paper, and they were trembling with fear.
Meng Anyao shivered and pulled Xu Qingqing beside her. She felt a chill on her back. Her voice was as small as a mosquito's hum. She said, "Is there really any danger? I don't want to die yet..."
