Xia Zhongcheng was sick.
It had nothing to do with being iron-blooded. Soldiers were humans too. They ate grains too, so of course they would fall sick.
Just as he was in a daze, unable to get out of bed, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Xia Zhongcheng grunted with difficulty. He gritted his teeth, stood up, and slowly walked over to open the door.
He looked up...
Gu Dalong was standing outside the door. He was holding an aluminum lunch box in his left hand and an enamel jar in his right. He said excitedly, "Reporting to Political Commissar, I've brought you breakfast. Porridge and big buns."
When he saw Xia Zhongcheng's expression, he exclaimed, "Oh my god, Political Commissar, are you sick? I was wondering why you didn't go to get breakfast today since you usually wake up early at this time. Wait a minute, I'll call the Regiment Commander! "
"Don't! Don't tell him... "
Before Xia Zhongcheng could finish his sentence, Gu Dalong had already run ten meters away. He didn't even have time to put down the lunch box in his hand and just ran off in a hurry.
Xia Zhongcheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He really felt weak all over, so he simply went back to bed and lay down again.
His head had just touched the pillow when he heard footsteps outside. Then the door was pushed open and Yun Jingting came in hurriedly. "What's wrong? Are you sick? Let me take a look. "
Yun Laohu didn't even greet him when she entered the room. She went straight to the bedside and pressed her big hand on Xia Zhongcheng's head. "Oh! You don't have a fever. You probably got drenched in the rain last night, right? "
She turned around and ordered Gu Dalong, "Hurry up and get some fever medicine from the hygienist."
Gu Dalong agreed. Then he put down the lunch box and enamel jar, turned around, and ran out.
Xia Zhongcheng shook his head. "What medicine? Don't be so pretentious! Just drink some hot water and you'll be fine! "
As soon as he said that, he suddenly heard someone outside the door chiming in, "That won't do. Fever can be serious! You should go to the hospital for a check-up and get a fever shot! "
Huh?
Xia Zhongcheng was startled, not because someone had answered, but because it was a female voice.
A woman suddenly appeared in the military camp. Who could it be?
He glanced at the door … and saw Shangguan Ying. She was wearing a white floral shirt, a pair of black linen trousers, and a pair of shallow leather shoes with half-high heels. Her thick long hair was braided into a thick black braid, hanging down to her chest.
Compared to when he first saw her, she looked much better now. There was a smile on her face, and her pair of clear eyes were bright. Standing in the morning sun, she looked like a beautiful and delicate flower.
As soon as Xia Zhongcheng saw her, he hurriedly shrank his limbs under the blanket, fearing that any part of his body would be exposed …
He was usually carefree in the military camp, but when he saw a woman, he became cautious and feudal … He glared at Yun Jingting and scolded in a low voice, "Are you crazy? Why did you bring her here?"
Before Yun Laohu could answer, Shangguan Ying vaguely heard what he said. She pursed her lips and smiled. "Comrade Xia, you can't blame the Head Of Yun for this. I insisted on following you! I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused! "
After she finished speaking, she turned around with her back facing Xia Zhongcheng. Her intention was clear. She wanted to give him some time to tidy up his clothes.
Xia Zhongcheng hurriedly grabbed a military jacket and quickly put it on. After thinking about it, he still didn't dare to put on his trousers, afraid that she would suddenly turn around and see his thighs.
Yun Laohu saw that he was as cute as a big boy … and secretly laughed.
Xia Zhongcheng punched him on the shoulder. "What are you laughing at!"
Only then did he raise his chin at Shangguan Ying's back. His meaning was clear: Take her out!
Yun Laohu spread his hands helplessly, his eyes saying: I really can't control her!
The two of them silently exchanged messages with their expressions.
Shangguan Ying coughed softly and turned around.
Xia Zhongcheng immediately sat up calmly … The blanket was still tightly covering his legs. "Ahem … Comrade Shangguan, I'm a soldier, so it's not convenient for me to receive you in the dormitory. Why don't you go to the office first, and we'll talk there, okay?"
Shangguan Ying smiled slightly. "You're a patient now, so it's inconvenient for you to walk around. I'll just stand here and say a few simple words to you!"
She was quite persistent.
It seemed that she was also a stubborn person … Once she acknowledged something, she had no intention of backing down.
Xia Zhongcheng had no choice but to smile awkwardly.
Shangguan Ying took a small step forward, and her body was considered to have entered the dormitory. She didn't stand at the door … Just from this subtle action, it could be seen that she was also a careful person. She was afraid that a girl standing by the door would have a bad impression of Xia Zhongcheng if outsiders saw her leaning against the door.
"Political Commissar Xia, I've been recuperating these days, and then I was busy settling down. I didn't have the time to come over and thank you. I feel quite apologetic!"
"Don't! There's nothing to feel apologetic about! I saved you guys on a mission. Again, you don't have to thank me personally! "
Shangguan Ying didn't respond to his words and continued, "Today, I asked Comrade Zhang Yu from the Public Security Bureau to bring me here, and I got the approval of the organization department. Otherwise, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to see you! Just now, when I heard that you were sick in the office, I rushed over recklessly. The Head Of Yun couldn't stop me! "
Oh!
So that's it!
Xia Zhongcheng coughed a few times. "Why are you looking for me?"
"Yes! There's something! "
Shangguan Ying straightened her small shoulders and looked straight at Xia Zhongcheng, who was lying on the bed. "My father taught me since I was young … that one must know how to be grateful! You saved my brother and I, so I can't pretend to be strangers with you! I'm here to tell you that my brother is going to America. He wants … to at least treat you to a meal. Firstly, it's to say goodbye, and secondly, to thank you for saving us! "
"Ah? Going to America? "
"Yes! My grandfather is in America. My brother is still young and is still in school. My grandfather helped him apply for a university there. I think it's quite suitable, so I should let him go! After all, studies are very important to a boy, and can affect his whole life! As for what he wants to do after graduation, I don't know! "
She had quite a lot of ideas and ideas.
Xia Zhongcheng nodded. "Since you've decided? That's good! Forget about the meal, I wish you a safe journey! You can have a good life in America! "
Shangguan Ying widened her eyes and immediately said, "No! You didn't hear it clearly. My brother is going to school! I've decided to stay in China! I took the initiative to ask the government to help with the resettlement of the Vietnamese refugees. After all … I'm an overseas Chinese, and I have feelings for both countries. I can speak both languages, and I understand the situation on both sides. If I stay here to work, I'll be able to help more or less! "
She sighed softly. "I don't have any other thoughts. I just want to do my best to help everyone escape the pain that I went through, so that no family will be hurt!"
She spoke slowly, but her pronunciation was very clear. One look and you could tell that she was a confident and intelligent person.
Yun Laohu raised her eyebrows and looked at her in a new light … Not everyone could give up a comfortable life in America for everyone.
She couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you also studying in America?"
"I'm about to graduate, and I only have a thesis to do! I'll talk about it in the future. I want to do something more meaningful now. When this war is over … it won't be too late to slowly study! "
Shangguan Ying bowed slightly to Xia Zhongcheng. "Since you're not feeling well, I won't disturb you anymore today. I just wanted to tell you that I'll be working with the refugees in the future. Maybe we'll have the chance to meet more!"
She then turned to Yun Laohu. "Head Of Yun, I know that you soldiers have your own way of doing things. You're used to being tough all your life, and you don't care about small things! But I think that if you're sick, you can't force yourself. You still need to see a doctor! There's a saying in China that goes like this: Sharpening your axe will not delay your work. A great man once said that the body is the capital of revolution … "
Oh!
She even knows this.
She's so clear-minded!
She must be an insightful and knowledgeable woman.
Shangguan Ying continued, "I think that going to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment is faster and more practical than lying in bed!"
She wasn't a naggy person. Since she had said so much, it was time to end it. She bowed her head politely and said, "I'll take my leave first today, Political Commissar Xia. Let's meet again in the future!"
She quickly walked out of the barracks.
She went straight to the office.
Yun Laohu then leaned over and patted Xia Zhongcheng's shoulder. "She's right! Take some medicine first. If your fever doesn't go down, hurry to the hospital! Then … I'll come back to see you after I send them away! "
She was already at the door, but she didn't forget to stop and remind him, "Oh right! I'll get the cooks to make you a bowl of hot noodle soup and send it over right away! After you've eaten, lie under the blanket and sweat. Don't come out to show off! "
"I …"
"You what? Don't worry about work. I'm here! " Yun Laohu suddenly stopped talking and winked at him teasingly. "Political Commissar, don't you think that this girl …"
Xia Zhongcheng was a little puzzled. "Hmm? What's the matter? "
Yun Laohu smirked and said in a low voice, "I think that this girl wants to repay you for saving her life. Cough, cough, cough … It seems like she wants to repay you with her body! That's great! You're single anyway. Think about it! "
