Li Zheng and Zhang Jian were carried into the battalion infirmary.
When the two woke up, they opened their eyes and saw each other in the hospital bed next door.
This time it was more serious than last time. The two of them were hanging from salt water.
When the health worker at the battalion headquarters saw the two of them waking up, he couldn't help but immediately joked: "Did you two fall in love with my bed here? Why do you two always come in? Since the beginning of the recruit training, I have seen many people faint. , but you who fainted together and came in twice at the same time are the only ones who share the same responsibility."
After saying that, he came over to check the salt water bags for the two of them, and then said, "I heard that you two were in the limelight today, and Deputy Commander Zhang praised you."
Then he imitated the tone of Deputy Commander Zhang and said: "These two soldiers are good! They have the ruthlessness of soldiers in their bones, they are good materials!"
Li Zheng couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he heard that Deputy Teacher Zhang was performing himself.
He wanted to sit up, but when he moved, his whole body hurt.
The hygienist scolded: "What are you doing! You are so capable! Just lie down and rest! You two new recruits are not afraid of anything after lying down for more than four hours. The veterans are not as fierce as you. Do you want to die? Tell me." You guys, you risk your life if you risk your life. You were both in shock when you came in! I said your platoon leader is also a ruthless person, do you really train the new recruits to be the best?"
As he spoke, he raised Li Zheng's pillow so that he could sit up a little. After doing all this, he confessed: "I'll go out for a while. You two just stay here and lie down for me. Don't go anywhere. If something happens, please make a noise." Shout, I'm right over there in the duty room."
After that, the man turned around and went out.
Li Zheng was half lying on the bed and tried to raise his hand. Suddenly he found that his hand could not exert any strength at all, and his muscles were all stiff, as if there were iron blocks stuffed under the skin. He gritted his teeth and raised it, his hand kept shaking, unable to After struggling a lot, I finally gave up and just sat there.
Opposite Zhang Jian, like him, grinned and fussed for a long time, finally half leaning on the edge of the bed, trying to reach for the water glass on the bedside table to take a drink of water, but he couldn't reach it at all.
There is only a bedside table between the two of them, which is between the two beds, but they are not side by side. It is a bed connected to the other, with the ends of the beds touching each other. The two of them are facing each other, lying foot to foot, with big eyes staring at each other. Unless you close your eyes, you can see each other.
The two water cups on the bedside table were filled with cold water and placed on the bedside table. No matter how Zhang Jian stretched out his hand, he could only miss the cup by two or three inches.
He wanted to move towards the end of the bed, but even his thighs were stiff. He was like a zombie. He couldn't bend his waist at any angle. When he bent hard, he hissed in pain and gasped.
In the end, Zhang Jian was helpless.
He looked at Li Zheng opposite, who was also looking at him. Li Zheng was also making the same effort - trying to get a cup to drink water.
Like Zhang Jian, he also encountered the same difficulties.
After watching for a while, Zhang Jian sneered and said, "Don't bother, I can't even get it, can you get it?"
Li Zheng was particularly disgusted with Zhang Jian's usual tone. Zhang Jian was the kind of person who would offend people whenever he could open his mouth. Li Zheng didn't know if this guy behaved this way at home, or maybe Zhang Jian was very fond of him because of his family relationship. Few people dared to argue with him, so he got used to talking like this.
Although what he said was true, it felt harsh in my ears and made me feel uncomfortable no matter how I listened.
"I'm talking about Zhang Jian." Li Zheng couldn't help but ask: "I'm curious how you talk like this at home? Can you speak well?"
Zhang Jian answered the question with almost no hesitation: "It depends on the person, who you are talking to."
Li Zheng felt that this guy was hopeless and it would be a waste of words to argue with him.
Now for Li Zheng, saliva is a very precious thing.
Maybe it was due to being in the sun all afternoon, but Li Zheng's neck and forearms were in burning pain, and his skin was red. He would probably shed a layer of skin like a snake in two days. This was a sunburn.
So, now he wants to drink water.
But although the cup is right in front of me, I can't get it.
"Hygienist!"
He could only call the health worker, hoping that the health worker could help.
But there was no response.
The hygienist didn't show up at the door.
It seems that he is not at the other end of the duty room and has gone somewhere.
These days, hygienists are unreliable.
The lack of water in his body caused extreme cravings. Li Zheng gritted his teeth and resisted the pain coming from his muscles. He finally moved to the end of the bed. This time it seemed closer than last time. He stretched out his hand again to get it. cup.
The bedside table is not far from the end of the bed, only about thirty centimeters. Normally, this would be a simple action, within easy reach.
It's a pity that my body is not strong enough now, and I can't bend my waist very much. I want to approach sideways, but I find that the salt water bag is hanging on the iron frame at the head of the bed. The tube is not long enough. I want to sit at the end of the bed and reach out, but I can't straighten my hand. With a difference of more than ten centimeters, you can touch it, but you can't touch that damn cup.
Soon, Li Zheng was sweating profusely.
Zhang Jian opposite could not help laughing.
Li Zheng said: "Why are you laughing? As if you can get it?"
Zhang Jian's smile disappeared and he really tried to get the cup.
He couldn't let Li Zheng underestimate him.
Unfortunately, all efforts were in vain.
Li Zheng couldn't get it, and Zhang Jian was just a little bit behind.
After a lot of hard work, the two were finally appointed.
"Damn it, did the hygienist do it on purpose?" Zhang Jian couldn't help but cursed: "Can't you just put it on the side, you have to put it in the middle!?"
Li Zheng stretched his neck and looked out the door, hoping that someone passing by could call out and help.
But after waiting for a long time, the corridor at the door was quiet and no one was there.
No wonder, it is dinner time now, everyone is eating in the canteen. After dinner, it is the most pleasant rest time of the day. Most people will go to the basketball court to enjoy the cool air and wait for the evening practice to start.
In this way, naturally no one will pass by the door of the infirmary.
Finally, the two of them were so thirsty.
Li Zheng asked Zhang Jian tentatively: "I have an idea. Everyone can drink water. Will you cooperate?"
Zhang Jian subconsciously didn't want to talk to Li Zheng.
Who is Li Zheng?
The person he hates the most.
No.
To be precise, he was the person he was most jealous of.
But it was no match for his body's thirst for water, and the sticky throat already made him feel like he was suffocating.
If you cooperate, just cooperate!
he thinks.
"Tell me what you think."
After much thought, Zhang Jian finally chose to compromise.
Li Zheng raised one of his feet and said, "The hands are not long enough, the feet are enough."
Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, then said: "Can you pick up a cup with your feet?"
This time it was Li Zheng's turn to despise him: "Look at you, don't you know how to turn with your head? We just can't touch the cup, just a little bit. We don't have enough hands, but we can reach it with our feet. We can push it with our feet. Just push it a few inches." I can get it with my hands.”
Zhang Jian's eyes lit up, and he had to admit that compared to Li Zheng, his IQ was really far behind.
Of course, this cannot be admitted.
"I thought of it a long time ago, but I just felt that my feet were too dirty!" Zhang Jianwei made an excuse himself: "So I didn't say anything."
Li Zheng was too lazy to expose his lie, and just teased: "Would you like to drink? You think it's dirty, but I don't. Push it over to me."
Zhang Jian was a little embarrassed, but he still said harshly: "Why can I only help you drink water? I want to drink too, and I can't give you the advantage in vain."
Li Zheng said impatiently: "Okay, it's not free of charge. We help each other and no one owes anyone else, okay?"
"Okay!" Zhang Jian emphasized repeatedly: "Let's help each other."
So, that evening, the two of them were in the infirmary, which was still dark, and you used your stinky feet and I used mine to push each other's cups.
This is the first time the two have collaborated.
Still, the results were pretty good.
Although when drinking water, both Zhang Jian and Li Zheng felt that there was indeed a sour smell in the water.
