Ji Qingwan's heart was in suspense, fearing that such a heroic figure would have a tragic ending.
Ji Qingzhou's voice deepened when he thought of the scene when he met Xiao Shuo.
"Later...later he finally received reinforcements, but during the counterattack, he was injured by a bullet, injuring his eyes and legs."
"ah!"
Ji Qingwan was in tears and felt sad for Xiao Shuo.
"Everyone thought he was dead at the time, but when they were clearing the battlefield later, they didn't find his body. It wasn't until they went to rescue the prisoners that they discovered he wasn't dead. Despite being so badly injured, he actually helped the captured soldiers escape."
“He’s amazing.”
Ji Qingwan was truly sad for Xiao Shuo's tragic experience.
It would be such a shame if such a great hero were to be blind for the rest of his life.
It would be great if I could meet this hero.
But considering his current situation, it seems unlikely.
A man who was a child of destiny suddenly lost his eyesight and became blind for the rest of his life. He also had to leave the army he loved.
Most people simply cannot accept this sense of disparity.
He should be like a lonely beast now, wanting to lick his wounds alone and not wanting to be disturbed by outsiders.
Ji Qingwan sighed silently in her heart. Although she felt regretful, she still suppressed this thought in her heart.
*
the next day.
After Xie Yanbei and Shen Huaizhi reported to Mr. Xiao about the casualties in each department and other situations, it was not until the afternoon that the two of them had time to go and see Xiao Shuo together.
"Mr. Peng, Mr. Zeng, how is Xiao Shuo now?"
The two spoke almost in unison, their eyes full of concern.
Mr. Peng and Mr. Zeng raised their heads at the same time and looked at the two people.
"You two brats, you're still caring about others. Not only do you not get enough rest, you don't even change your medicine on time. Do you really want to recover?"
Especially Mr. Peng, who was asked by Ji Qingzhou to take good care of Xie Yanbei.
If his wound gets worse by the time he leaves the camp, how can he face his apprentice?
"Sit down and change the dressing."
Mr. Peng had a stern face and a fierce voice, but his voice was full of worry.
Zeng Lao nodded: "Yes, if you two don't change the medicine today, you can't go anywhere."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yanbei and Shen Huaizhi looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
Unable to persuade the two old men, they were forced to sit down and their medicine was changed one after another.
During the dressing change process, the two did not forget to ask about Xiao Shuo's condition.
"Mr. Peng, can Xiao Shuo's eyes and legs be healed?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Peng sighed heavily.
"His legs are easy to deal with. With treatment, they can be saved. But his eyes..."
He paused, his eyes dimmed, and his voice became more negative and lonely than before.
"Mr. Peng, are his eyes, are they..."
Can't get better?
Both of them knew it in their hearts, but neither of them dared to ask it out loud.
They know Xiao Shuo best. He looks heartless, but he is actually the most sensitive.
Perhaps the fact that both his parents died when he was young made him feel insecure.
It was not until he joined the army and made friends with a group of close friends that he gradually regarded the army as his home.
Now that he is injured, I don’t know if there is any chance of recovery.
I wonder if he can bear the thought of being blind for life and having to leave the army.
"Is there really no other solution?"
Xie Yanbei looked at Mr. Peng and Mr. Zeng unwillingly.
Faced with their earnest gazes, Mr. Peng and Mr. Zeng couldn't bear to look at each other and turned their heads away silently.
"There is indeed a way. There's a surgery abroad that can transplant corneas, but the technology is still immature and there's a risk of infection if you're not careful. There are very few people willing to donate, not to mention the scarcity of ophthalmologists in China. So, achieving a cure... is practically impossible."
Mr. Peng sighed as he spoke, and everyone fell silent after hearing his words.
Xie Yanbei and Shen Huaizhi looked at each other, and saw deep sadness and regret in each other's eyes.
It's even hard to imagine how someone as proud as Xiao Shuo could bear all this.
I'm really afraid that he will get stuck in a rut and become unable to think straight.
Xie Yanbei pursed his lips, his eyes filled with worry for Xiao Shuo, even sadder than when he was desperate due to his leg injury.
At least he still has Ji Qingzhou by his side, but Xiao Shuo is alone.
Inside the military office.
Old Master Xiao sprinkled some tea leaves into the teacup, picked up the thermos, and poured hot water into it. The mellow aroma of tea filled the entire room.
"Old Cheng, Old Liu, do you want to have some together?"
He took a small sip while it was still hot.
Mr. Cheng and Mr. Liu were not polite and handed over their teacups.
The three old friends sat together, looking at the wrinkles on each other's faces that had grown exponentially, and couldn't help but sigh.
I especially sympathize with Lao Feng and Lao Liu. They have paid so much to win this battle.
"What a pity for Xiao Xiao. Every time I see him, Xiao Xie, and Xiao Shen, I always think of our training days. It's a pity that time flies and those days can never come back."
"Xiao Xiao's eyes... I'm afraid he'll have to leave the army."
"It's really pitiful. If he hadn't been injured, his future would have been limitless based on the great achievements he made this time."
The three of them spoke one after another.
"Everyone, don't be so pessimistic. Although eye surgery is difficult, there is still hope. Xiao Xiao has made such great contributions. It's a pity that such an outstanding pillar of society is buried like this."
