He put the gun on his waist and started moving.
Erasing all traces of himself, Gu Chijin returned to the place where Qu Feng died last night.
He stayed there for a few seconds, then pulled out his gun and shot himself in the thigh.
Hot blood splattered everywhere, but he remained calm, as if he didn't feel the pain. Only the twitching of his forehead revealed his body's reaction.
Dragging his injured leg, Gu Chijin circled the dense forest, leaving his blood trail to form an escape route.
When they passed a mountain stream on the way, they disassembled the pistol into several pieces and threw them into the turbulent river at the bottom of the stream.
According to the current flow rate of the river, before he could return to the troops, the gun that shot Qu Feng would be swept away by the river for dozens of kilometers.
When the sky brightened, Gu Chijin collapsed in a mess outside the army gate.
The new recruit guarding the door saw a soldier covered in blood lying at the door of the army. He rushed over and carried him in.
"It's Deputy Battalion Commander Gu!
Quickly inform the leader, Deputy Battalion Commander Gu has been shot."
Seeing that it was Gu Chijin, the new recruit called on his companions to pass on the message and call a doctor.
"Call the doctor, run!"
Hearing their anxious voices, Gu Chijin lost too much blood and finally fainted.
The leader who received the news came quickly with the doctor.
Seeing Gu Chijin lying on the bed covered in wounds, he was shocked:
"Is there anyone else coming back with Gu Chijin?"
Gu Chijin went on the mission with Qu Feng. Now he is back, but Qu Feng is not back. The situation is very bad.
The recruits didn't know the situation, so they told the truth:
"No, I only saw Deputy Battalion Commander Gu."
The leader was anxious:
"Didn't Qu Feng come back with us?"
"No."
The recruit shook his head. He didn't know Qu Feng and didn't know who Qu Feng was.
“Quick, take people to the dense forest to look for him.
If he's alive, I want to see him in person; if he's dead, I want to see his body."
This mission was just a simple search mission, but unexpectedly Gu Chijin was shot and Qu Feng's life or death was unknown.
Thinking of the phone call from the Qu family the night before, the leader felt like his heart was on fire and he gave orders in a stern voice.
"Yes, leader."
The soldier following behind him gave a standard military salute, turned around and walked away quickly.
After everyone left, the leader looked at Gu Chijin, who was pale and covered in blood, and said:
"Gu Chijin must be saved."
If something really happens to Qu Feng, Gu Chijin, who is with him, is the only clue.
At least he can give the Qu family an explanation.
Fifteen hours had passed when Li Shaoyu and Shi Qi arrived at the city where Gu Chijin was, and it was already dark.
After arriving here, Li Shaoyu contacted the troops and booked a room in the best guesthouse here for Shi Qi to rest.
Shi Qi didn't sleep along the way. She was exhausted now, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.
Now she just wanted to see Gu Chijin as soon as possible.
Li Shaoyu contacted the troops here through Li Yuanliang, and naturally knew that Gu Chijin was injured.
Thinking of Qu Feng’s death last night, Li Shaoyu immediately understood that Gu Chijin was using a self-torture trick.
At the moment, Gu Chijin has not yet woken up from the operation, so they cannot take him away.
After discussing with Li Yuanliang, and considering his sister's condition, Li Shaoyu had no choice but to take Shi Qi to the hospital to see Gu Chijin first.
Gu Chijin was sent to the hospital by the army for surgery and then transferred to the ward.
When the brother and sister arrived, Gu Chijin had just woken up.
Shi Qi's anxiety along the way disappeared the moment he saw Gu Chijin for the first time.
Looking at his weak and pale face, I couldn't help but throw myself into his arms and hug him tightly.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and Shiqi's voice was filled with tears.
"You scared me to death, you know that?"
Just now, when Shi Qi heard Li Shaoyu say that Gu Chijin was injured and undergoing surgery, his heart almost stopped.
When I think of the things in the book, I immediately associate them with a lot of bad things.
When she saw him, her defenses collapsed and she hugged Gu Chijin and cried non-stop.
Gu Chijin didn't expect Shi Qi and Li Shaoyu to come over at this time.
He didn't know what had happened to the Li family recently.
As he has been in a closed training unit and has few close friends around him, he is quite isolated from news from the outside world.
Looking at Shi Qi's soft hair, Gu Chijin whispered to comfort him:
"It's just a minor leg injury, it's okay.
Don’t cry.”
Shi Qi raised his red eyes and glared at him.
"A little injury?
Gu Chijin, what did you promise me before you went on the mission?
Didn’t you say you would protect yourself and come back to see me safely?
Look at yourself, you have been injured so many times in the past year.
Don’t you want these legs anymore?”
Shi Qi cried as she spoke, feeling sad for Gu Chijin in her heart.
He had done nothing wrong, but he had to endure so much pain for no reason.
When you get old, you will be able to use a cane a few years earlier than others.
Shi Qi stared at him with a look of dismay, his voice full of complaints, but more of heartache:
"Can't you think more about yourself? If you keep going like this, your legs will be useless before you even retire!"
Gu Chijin was careful with his actions this time. Although the gunshot wound on the leg looked serious, it was not a big deal.
But seeing how worried Shi Qi was, he couldn't help but soften his voice. He stretched out his dry palm and wiped away the tears on her face with pity:
“I know, and I promise you, I will be more careful next time.
Try not to get hurt.”
Li Shaoyu stood beside the bed and felt heartbroken when he saw his sister crying.
I feel that my sister has been deceived by this sinister man in front of me.
If she knew that the man in front of her had just killed her comrade, she would definitely not care about him so much.
