Qi Mengmeng walked up to the young man, who called her sister-in-law, took the bag from her hand, and led her out of the train station.
The young man introduced himself as Jiang Shan. He had been following Gu Guizhi and was responsible for taking care of him during the time when Gu Guizhi was injured.
Qi Mengmeng nodded and asked Jiang Shan to take her to the nearby post office to call and report her safety before getting in a jeep and heading to the military hospital.
"How did you recognize me just now?"
The car was too quiet, so Qi Mengmeng suddenly spoke.
Jiang Shan chuckled twice: "The battalion commander hid the photo of his sister-in-law in his clothes. I saw it that day."
After the wedding photos of Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi were developed, Qi Mengmeng sent them to Gu Guizhi. She didn't expect that Gu Guizhi would carry the photos with him.
"How is Gu Guizhi's health now?" Qi Mengmeng asked after a moment of silence.
"The doctor said that our battalion commander is recovering very quickly and will be awake in a few days." Jiang Shan glanced in the rearview mirror, fearing that Qi Mengmeng would dislike Gu Guizhi.
Qi Mengmeng just hummed and said nothing more.
Jiang Shan meant that Gu Guizhi was still in a coma and it seemed that his injuries were very serious, otherwise why was he still in a coma after three or four days?
Seeing that Qi Mengmeng stopped asking questions and talking, Jiang Shan concentrated on driving.
At the beginning, Qi Mengmeng was in the mood to look out the window, but after a few minutes, her eyes began to blur and she fell asleep in a daze.
Half an hour later, the jeep stopped. Jiang Shan looked back and saw Qi Mengmeng waking up from her sleep: "Are we here yet?"
Jiang Shan was a little surprised: "Just arrived."
He clearly saw Qi Mengmeng sleeping soundly just now, so why did Qi Mengmeng wake up as soon as the car stopped?
Qi Mengmeng blinked and was completely awake. She was used to being single, so she would be on guard wherever she went and would not let herself fall into a deep sleep.
Although it seemed to outsiders that she was sleeping soundly the previous second, she would wake up immediately as soon as the car stopped.
Jiang Shan got out of the car, opened the door for Qi Mengmeng, took two bags, and took Qi Mengmeng to the military hospital.
Gu Guizhi's health has improved a lot and he has been transferred to the general ward. Jiang Shan entered the hospital and went straight to the innermost ward on the second floor.
Qi Mengmeng's steps were not as fast as Jiang Shan's. When she reached the door, Jiang Shan was already talking to someone in the room.
"Li Zhuang, I'm back. How's the battalion commander? Is he awake?"
Li Zhuang shook his head with a worried look on his face: "No, I just asked Doctor Liang..."
Li Zhuang was halfway through his words when he looked at Qi Mengmeng at the door. Jiang Shan quickly introduced the two of them: "Sister-in-law, this is Li Zhuang. Li Zhuang, this is sister-in-law."
Li Zhuang saluted Qi Mengmeng and called her sister-in-law loudly.
Qi Mengmeng nodded: "Go on, what did Doctor Liang say?"
Li Zhuang shook his head. "Doctor Liang only told us to take good care of the battalion commander. He didn't say anything else."
Qi Mengmeng looked at Li Zhuang's expression seriously, but didn't see anything. She lowered her eyes and walked to Gu Guizhi's side.
Gu Guizhi was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, his face thin, and gauze wrapped on his head. He looked very haggard.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you sit here for a while? I'll go get some water and then take you to the guesthouse." Li Zhuang pushed Jiang Shan away with great vigilance.
Qi Mengmeng asked the two to go about their business first, and she could just ask the nurse if she had any questions.
Li Zhuang took the opportunity to pull Jiang Shan out of the ward.
"Why are you pulling me? I want to see the battalion commander's condition." Jiang Shan shook off Li Zhuang's hand in dissatisfaction and leaned towards the direction of the ward.
"Sister-in-law is here, what are you looking at? Let your sister-in-law stay with the battalion commander." Li Zhuang glared at Jiang Shan: "You haven't seen enough of the battalion commander every day."
Jiang Shan chuckled twice and asked about Gu Guizhi's situation.
A look of worry flashed across Li Zhuang's face, and the words he said were the same as before, and Gu Guizhi's condition had not changed much.
Jiang Shan comforted Li Zhuang, saying that maybe Gu Guizhi would wake up quickly after hearing Qi Mengmeng's voice.
Li Zhuang glared at him, feeling extremely worried that this man could actually laugh. He sighed and went to fetch some water.
In the ward, Qi Mengmeng saw that the corners of Gu Guizhi's mouth were a little dry and cracked, so she went out to ask the nurse if she could wet his lips.
The little nurse looked Qi Mengmeng up and down, making her think that she was wearing the wrong clothes. She also followed the little nurse's gaze and looked herself up and down.
The clothes are a little wrinkled, because they were rubbed on the train, but they are not dirty or torn, so there should be no problem.
When she looked up again, a hint of sympathy flashed in the little nurse's eyes.
Qi Mengmeng: ...What do you mean?
An older nurse nearby quickly pushed the young nurse aside, forced a smile and said to Qi Mengmeng, "Captain Gu is not conscious yet and cannot drink water yet. You can wipe his lips with a cotton ball."
Qi Mengmeng nodded, took the cotton ball handed to her by the nurse, and turned back to the ward.
When she disappeared, the older nurse glared at the younger nurse: "Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you? It's not your first day at work, don't you know what to do?"
Xiao Wu nodded quickly: "I know, I know, Sister Liu, I'm just curious."
"You can't be curious when you work here." Sister Liu lowered her voice, "Watch your mouth. You are a nurse. Just do your job well."
Xiao Wu nodded continuously: "Sister Liu, I understand. I will work hard."
At this time, another patient's family member came over, and Sister Liu let Xiao Wu go.
Qi Mengmeng didn't hear the voice behind her. She went back to the ward, put down the cotton ball, went to the bathroom to wash her hands and face, wiped them clean before returning to the ward. She carefully dipped the cotton ball in water and moistened Gu Guizhi's lips.
After a few minutes, Jiang Shan and Li Zhuang came in carrying a thermos.
Qi Mengmeng put down the cotton ball in her hand and asked about Gu Guizhi's situation.
She wanted to ask just now, but Jiang Shan and Li Zhuang walked so fast that she didn't have time to open her mouth.
Li Zhuang did not speak immediately. Jiang Shan told him what he knew and then turned to ask Xiao Wu, "Is there anything else going on with the battalion commander these days?"
"No, Doctor Li said the battalion commander might be waking up soon, so someone must stay with him," Li Zhuang added.
Qi Mengmeng probably understood the situation. Gu Guizhi was injured in the legs and head. The shrapnel in the legs had been removed and he just needed to recuperate slowly.
After all, the problem is the injury on the head. The military hospital has invited brain experts to take a look. They all said that as long as Gu Guizhi wakes up, there will be no problem, but no one knows when he will wake up.
"Sister-in-law, it's all my fault. If it wasn't for saving me, the battalion commander wouldn't have been injured so badly." Li Zhuang suddenly spoke, his voice full of guilt.
Qi Mengmeng never makes decisions for others. Even if Gu Guizhi was injured while saving others, she would not say anything bad.
"Since Gu Guizhi saved you, it's his duty. Don't blame anyone. I think Gu Guizhi wouldn't want to hear you say that when he wakes up."
"Yes, don't say that. The commander will definitely ask you to strengthen your training when he wakes up."
Jiang Shan also patted Li Zhuang on the shoulder and nodded affirmatively.
Li Zhuang was speechless about his comrades around him. Jiang Shan had a really big heart.
Qi Mengmeng could see the personalities of the two people. She smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, you can wait until Gu Guizhi wakes up. Tell me about the situation in the hospital and where to buy food and water."
Now that she is here, Li Zhuang and Jiang Shan will probably have to go to training instead of just standing in the ward.
