Without antibiotics, the company commander's condition was very dangerous. Su Congwen's injuries looked horrific, but they were all superficial wounds. He was worried about the company commander and insisted on staying at his bedside to take care of him, despite the advice of others.
Because of the infection, the company commander had a high fever and there were not enough medicines. The army nurses could only give him physical cooling. In this way, he woke up from the fever and woke up from the fever. Finally, on the third day, his condition improved a lot and he was out of danger. .
After regaining consciousness, the company commander couldn't lie still. He thought for a while and said to Su Congwen: "Xiao Su, we have to go back."
For soldiers, charging is an order, and retreat is also an order.
They have completed the task of guarding the bridge and must go back to resume their lives. Even if there are only two people left in their company, even if he only has one breath left, he must go back.
Su Congwen didn't say anything, just nodded heavily, "Okay."
He also wanted to go back and missed home. More importantly, he wanted to take Brother Zhang home and finish what Brother Zhang asked him to do.
The current situation of the two of them is not very good, but after a long time of persuasion by the army doctor, they still did not change their minds, so they had no choice but to agree and gave a few more warnings.
Before leaving, Chen Xiaoyu found Su Congwen, took out a medicine bottle from her bag and handed it to him, "Here."
"What's this?"
"Of course it's medicine, otherwise what else could it be?" Chen Xiaoyu was speechless and stuffed the medicine bottle into his hand, "I found this with great difficulty, for you...and your company commander, please pay more attention to your wounds on the way. "
"Yeah." Su Congwen didn't notice the pause in her words, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Chen Xiaoyu curled her lips, "Congratulations, you can go home."
There was no smile on Su Congwen's face, "If going home comes at the expense of these sacrifices, I would rather not go back." He could go home, but his comrades would never see the smiling faces of their families again.
The smile on Chen Xiaoyu's face faded, and she felt a little at a loss, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."
"I know."
"Then...goodbye." Chen Xiaoyu waved.
"goodbye."
Therefore, after being away from the motherland for almost three years, Su Congwen finally set foot on the soil of the motherland again.
When he crossed the border and entered Yun Province, Su Congwen let out a breath of turbid air. There was an empty space in front of him, and the sights he saw were familiar yet unfamiliar.
His mood was agitated, beating as violently as on the battlefield. After a long and intense excitement, his mood gradually calmed down, and he finally felt a sense of security in his heart. This was a sense of security.
"Xiao Su, let's say goodbye here." The company commander turned around and said to him with a smile.
"Okay." Su Congwen nodded.
The company commander has already settled the other sacrificed soldiers, and someone will naturally send them home. He is now anxious to go back and recover. Su Congwen wants to take Brother Zhang's ashes home. The two of them have to part ways here. .
"Have a safe journey." Su Congwen said.
The company commander smiled and said, "Is there anything safer than being on the soil of your own country?"
They all came under a hail of bullets, and nothing could be more dangerous than on the battlefield.
"You're right, nothing is safer than in your own country." Su Congwen smiled. After a few days, the evil spirit on his body has faded a lot and he has become peaceful. Now he looks like, Calm and calm, if it weren't for the unhealed wounds on his face that were clearly exposed, no one would have thought that he was still killing enemies on the battlefield in a bloody manner a few days ago.
"Xiao Su." The company commander looked at him with sigh and patted his shoulder, "In the future, live a good life, work hard, get married, have children, and live happily."
"It's best that we never go to the battlefield again in this life."
There was a kind of calm pain in the company commander's eyes. No one knew how much pain and torture he was suffering in his heart. There were more than 130 people in the company, and in the end only he and Su Congwen were left to return to the motherland. He took so many The soldier seemed to have won the battle, but for him personally, he actually lost everything. This kind of pain and torture may accompany him for the rest of his life, always and always.
"Yes." Su Congwen nodded. No one likes to fight, and no one likes to use bloodshed and sacrifice to prove victory and achievements. It is best to have peace and stability, no more wars, no more pain and sacrifices.
"gone!"
After the company commander said the last words, he turned around and waved his hand. It seemed crisp and clear, but in fact, he shed tears the moment he turned around.
Su Congwen looked at his figure for a long time, and did not look back until he disappeared.
He looked down at the box in his hand. It was very light, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Su Congwen looked at the distance and saw a flat and wide road. He was about to embark on his own journey.
He first arrived at Spring City and went straight to the train station to buy a train ticket and head north.
The destination of Su Congwen's trip is Daxing Village, Xiliang Town, Anding City, Hebei Province, the hometown of Brother Zhang Qingshan, which is more than 2,000 kilometers away.
Time was so tight that he only bought a seat ticket.
After getting on the train, Su Congwen remained silent, silently looking at the scenery outside the window. Everything about the bustling train seemed to have nothing to do with him. He was sitting here, but he didn't blend in here.
"Young man, aren't you tired of holding this box all the time?" the aunt sitting opposite him asked curiously.
From the moment she got in the car, she noticed that the young man next to her was holding a box in his hand and was motionless. If she hadn't seen him exhale, she would have thought there was a wooden stake sitting opposite her.
Su Congwen didn't hear it.
"Young man?" the aunt called again.
"Huh?" Su Congwen finally came to his senses, turned his head, and looked at the aunt.
"I said, aren't you tired of holding this box all the time? I see you haven't eaten anything, why don't you put it down first? Eat something." The aunt was very enthusiastic.
Su Congwen frowned slightly. After staying on the battlefield for too long, he was already a little uncomfortable getting along with ordinary people, but he still politely replied: "No, thank you."
"You kid, you look young, why are you so mature?" The aunt muttered, looking at the injuries on his face, she asked again, "Did you get into a fight with someone?"
"No."
Su Congwen's cold reply finally made the aunt feel embarrassed to speak again.
Sitting next to Su Congwen was a young girl, fashionable and exquisitely dressed, but she looked at Su Congwen with very wary eyes.
The extremely short crew cut, the scars on his face, the scary look in his eyes, the vague smell of blood on his body, and the strange box in his hand all made her feel a little scared. She always felt that he was uncomfortable looking at him. Like some normal person.
