Tian Cai came to give Yu Xuewei acupuncture every day, and the effect was getting better day by day. The numbness and pain in his legs gradually disappeared, and the fractured thigh gradually healed under the effect of the bone-replenishing ointment.
A few days ago, Tian Cai came to check his legs and said that he could now try to stand up and walk a few steps.
When Yu Xuewei heard this, he couldn't help but get out of bed that night.
The first few steps were the most difficult, and even this tough guy couldn't help but break out in sweat.
After several days of practice, I have achieved the current results and can walk slowly with the help of something.
His father specially made a wooden frame according to Tian Cai's instructions so that he could hold on to it and walk around the yard more.
In early August, when someone from the army came to visit Yu Xuewei, he was already able to stroll around the yard with the help of something.
The man was called Mao Zhonglin. He was from the same battalion as him and his hometown was also in Huangxian. However, he had been in the army for a shorter time and his position in the team was lower than Yu Xuewei's. He was a platoon leader.
The two of them went to the battlefield together, and he knew clearly how badly Yu Xuewei was injured. How long has it been now, and he can already walk?
Could it be that Yu Xuewei’s injury is not as serious as rumored?
Yu Xuewei was also very excited to see Mao Zhonglin. This was the first time they met after leaving the battlefield. They hugged each other tightly with tears in their eyes, feeling like they had survived a disaster.
"Good brother!"
After the two of them calmed down, Yu Guoqing invited Mao Zhonglin into the house but he refused. The two of them sat down on stools in the yard and talked.
Yu Guoqing helped Yu Xuewei sit down slowly so that he could lean his lower back against the chair.
He left the space for the two of them, and asked his daughter-in-law to prepare more food and keep them at home for lunch. Later, he asked Xuelin to go to the commune to see if he could buy some meat.
If you really can't buy it, you can only go to the village and ask if anyone still has the previously pickled bacon.
Mao Zhonglin glanced at Yu Xuewei, remembering how cautious Old Man Yu had been just now. He asked, "How are you? I see you're recovering quite well, much better than I thought!"
Speaking of this, Yu Xuewei also grinned and patted his left leg lightly.
"It's basically healed now. I just need to apply medicine to my lower back. In about half a month, I should be able to walk normally. As long as I don't do heavy work in the future, there will be no problem."
This was already much better and faster than he had expected. These days, his family members were so happy to see him get up and walk that they couldn't stop smiling.
Even Sun Yanhong, who had originally thought of dividing the family, gave up. If her brother-in-law was fine, there would be no need to divide the family.
His health is getting better day by day and he will recover soon.
"That's good. Seeing you like this makes me feel relieved. You don't know that Ma Zhenying from the third company had one of his legs blown off. He's still lying in the hospital. His wife and children are gone. The four of them are living and eating in the ward. It's really pitiful to see them."
Mao Zhonglin wiped his face. He was already very lucky. At least he came down from the battlefield safely.
"And Wang Hongjun from the Fourth Company, both of his legs are gone."
Hearing this, the smile on Yu Xuewei's face gradually disappeared, "And Xiaoliu, he died in front of me."
Yu Xuewei recalled what he saw in the hospital, which was full of disabled soldiers coming back from the battlefield. Some had no arms, some had no legs, some had lost their eyes, and some were burned beyond recognition by the flames of war. This made him deeply feel the cruelty of war and his own luck.
Thinking of that lively and playful young man, and many good brothers who had shared joys and sorrows with him for many years, they all died in this battle, and some of them didn't even have a complete body recovered.
Yu Xuewei also thought of himself. He had already submitted an application for discharge from the army. He had been in the army for eight years and had deep feelings for the place. He was really reluctant to leave, but he also knew the condition of his body. It would not be easy to be a normal person in the future, so how could he stay in the army?
He had previously specifically consulted Tian Cai about the issue of kidney removal. It would have some slight impact on his daily life, and there was no way he could stay in the army.
For a moment, both of them were silent.
The sadness was not broken until Yu Guoqing came over to serve tea.
"Look at me. I came here to see you, but you have to say these things that make you uncomfortable." Mao Zhonglin put the net bag he brought on the table. "This is a little gift from me. If you need anything, just tell me. We have been brothers for so many years. It's time to speak up. I also troubled you a lot when I was on the team before."
Yu Xuewei frowned when he saw those things, "Since we're talking about our friendship, then why did you come to my house and carry these things?"
Mao Zhonglin spread his hands and said with a smile, "We have a good relationship, but these things were arranged by my parents. They insisted that I take them, and I couldn't refuse. Just consider it as helping her deal with it."
Seeing that he had already brought the food, Yu Xuewei felt it would be difficult to refuse it, so he secretly decided to pack him some more mountain products when he left. It just so happened that he had heard him mention before that his family loved to eat them.
The two talked for a while, Mao Zhonglin had lunch here, and went back in the afternoon. His home visit leave this time was only twenty days, so he had to stay at home and spend more time with his parents.
——————————————
That morning, an "uninvited guest" came to Tian Cai's house. This guest was also a mountain cat, with brown and yellow patterned fur on its back. The color of the pattern on its back was slightly darker than Mimi's. Its body looked smaller than Mimi, and its face looked much more delicate.
The little guy looked at Tian Cai for a while, walked forward a few steps cautiously, and when he saw that Tian Cai didn't move, he slowly came over. He sniffed around Tian Cai, and then rubbed Tian Cai's hand with his big head, just like Mimi did every time when she acted coquettishly.
Tian Cai: “…”
She suspected she had some golden finger that attracted animals.
So I tentatively reached out and touched its head. It felt soft, but not as smooth as Mimi's fur.
The little guy couldn't help but lie on the ground and make snoring sounds after being touched by Tian Cai just a few times.
It's actually louder than the sound made by Mimi.
It feels good to be touched.
After stroking for a while, Tian Cai felt his legs were going numb from squatting, so he stood up and went to the front yard. "I want to go home. Do you want to go home with me? Oh, no, you're already at my house."
The little guy let out an "ow" and raised his legs to follow Tian Cai.
The short tail was swinging back and forth.
"Tsk tsk." Tian Cai thought that if this guy met Mimi later, they would definitely fight for her favor.
Unexpectedly, when Mimi saw the bobcat coming, she actually walked over and rubbed against it affectionately.
Tian Cai was confused. What was going on? What was the relationship between these two cats?
