Yan Mingzhun clenched his iron fists tightly, with veins popping out on his arms. He stared at Qin Zhen on the hospital bed with a pair of red bloodshot eyes, and asked through gritted teeth:
"Where is Yan Mingxu? You are all back. Why hasn't Yan Mingxu come back?"
Qin Zhen looked at him blankly, opened his mouth to speak but found that nothing could come out.
But Yan Mingzhun obviously didn't have the patience to wait. He rushed over with a few strides, punched the medical bedside table next to Qin Zhen's bed, and shouted:
"Tell me, where is Yan Mingxu? Is he injured or on a mission? You have to make it clear!"
Qin Zhen finally said:
"Xiao Yan..."
Yan Mingzhun suddenly lowered his head and spoke with great difficulty:
"I...my mother is still waiting for him to come back."
As he spoke, he raised his head again, but this time his eyes were red:
"Did he go on other missions? If it's not convenient for you to say, just say 'yes' to me. I know the rules and won't ask any more questions."
Looking at his red eyes, Qin Zhen felt as if his neck was being strangled. He had just said a few words and now he could no longer speak.
Two more footsteps sounded at the door. Mu Tang turned around and found that it was Ren Yu and Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Yan and Mu Tang in the room, and then realized that the atmosphere in the room was wrong. She turned around and saw Yan Mingzhun suddenly reaching out and grabbing Qin Zhen's collar! !
"Strictly speaking!" Lin Wanwan whispered and quickly winked at Ren Yu.
Ren Yu stepped forward and restrained Yan Mingzhun tightly, trying to drag him back:
"Quickly let go, Captain Qin is seriously injured, you will aggravate his injuries!!"
Yan Mingzhun turned a blind eye to them and didn't react at all when he was dragged away. He persistently grabbed Qin Zhen's collar and repeated over and over again:
"Tell me...said he went on a mission...speak quickly..."
Qin Zhen was pulled so hard that he almost fell off the hospital bed. Lu Yan stepped forward and tried to pull Yan Mingzhun away, but he raised his hand to stop him.
He took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice:
"Xiao Yan died!"
The ward fell silent for a moment, and both Lin Wanwan and Ren Yu looked at Qin Zhen in disbelief, as if they didn't believe what he was saying.
Yan Mingzhun was stunned for a moment, then pushed Ren Yu away and strangled Qin Zhen by the collar, wishing to strangle him to death:
"Tell me again, what happened to Yan Mingxu?!"
Lu Yan no longer ignored Qin Zhen's stop, stepped forward and knocked Yan Mingzhun on the back of the neck. Yan Mingzhun was instantly weak, let go of Qin Zhen and fell to the ground.
But he obviously did not give up and struggled to get up:
"You lied. How could he die? Mom is still waiting for him at home. He said nothing would happen!!"
Qin Zhen's eyes were so sore that he closed them:
"I'm not lying, Xiao Yan sacrificed his life... to save me."
Yan Mingzhun stared at him, and after a moment, he suddenly rushed out of the ward! !
"Strictly speaking!" Ren Yu's expression changed, and he looked at each other with Lin Wanwan, then saluted Lu Yan and Qin Zhen together, and rushed out!
Lu Yan's eyes moved and fell on Qin Zhen, who was sitting blankly.
He originally thought that with the temperament of the youngest son of the Yan family, after learning about Yan Mingxu's sacrifice, he would blame Qin Zhen entirely for his death.
Unexpectedly, not a word of resentment was said.
"...Why didn't he scold me? It was obviously me who harmed Xiao Yan." Qin Zhen muttered to himself, lowering his head.
"How could you think that?"
Before Lu Yan could speak, Mu Tang had already spoken.
Qin Zhen looked up at her.
Mu Tang sat up from the chair, strode up to Qin Zhen, and looked at him seriously:
"Except for you, no one of us has ever felt that Xiao Yan's death was because of you. If you think we are comforting you, what about Xiao Yan's brother?"
Qin Zhen was stunned. Mu Tang thought for a while and then said:
"Look, Xiao Yan's biological brother didn't think you were the one who killed Xiao Yan. Otherwise, with his violent temper, he would have pinned you to the ground and beaten you long ago!!"
Mu Tang's face straightened up, and she suddenly said seriously:
"Why are you like this? It's not your own fault but you want to blame it on yourself. You are the fool that Lu Yan often calls you. I am much smarter than you. He should give you the title of fool!"
Lu Yan was still listening from behind, but when he heard something behind him, he felt that something was wrong. By the time he wanted to stop it, it was already too late. When he looked up, he saw Qin Zhen looking at him with a hard-to-speak expression and disapproval in his eyes.
Qin Zhen didn't even need to say anything, Lu Yan had already understood what his eyes were saying:
"You are really a straight man. You finally got a wife. How can you call someone a fool?"
Lu Yan was silent. It turned out that he was the one who was injured in the end.
But thanks to Mu Tang's interruption, Qin Zhen couldn't even feel sad anymore, and his whole body was stuck there.
Lu Yan couldn't laugh or cry. Thanks to the little girl's natural stupidity and simple mind, the severe depression tendency in Qin Zhen's case should now be reduced to mild.
"Okay, you have a good rest, Mu Tang and I won't disturb you for now."
Lu Yan grabbed Mu Tang's collar and pulled her behind her.
Qin Zhen looked at him and hesitated to speak. Lu Yan understood what he meant and said softly:
"I will place Xiao Yan's body in a safe place. The Lieutenant General said he was a martyr and will accompany him to rest with the national flag."
Qin Zhen nodded silently.
Lu Yan pulled Mu Tang out of the ward. Mu Tang grabbed Lu Yan's sleeve tightly and shook it, muttering:
"Will Qin Zhen get better?"
Lu Yan nodded her forehead and chuckled:
"Will do."
When passing by one of the wards, Mu Tang suddenly stopped, pointed to the crack in the door, and whispered:
"Lu Yan, Lu Yan, look, it's Qiao Yue!"
Lu Yan looked in and saw that it was really Qiao Yue.
At this time, she was wringing out a hot towel and wiping the body of the patient on the bed.
The breeze blew by, and the curtain was blown up. Although it was only for a second or two, Lu Yan still recognized:
Lying on the hospital bed was the surviving soldier.
Sweat oozed from Qiao Yue's forehead, staining one or two locks of hair on her forehead. She even massaged the body of the person on the bed to prevent him from muscle atrophy or pressure sores after being comatose for a long time.
The expression on her face was very focused, her mouth opened and closed, as if she was still saying something, but she was far away and the wind was blowing, so Lu Yan couldn't hear clearly.
This is clearly not just for show.
Mu Tang opened the door and stared for a long time, then turned around and said to Lu Yan excitedly, as if she had discovered a secret:
"Does she like the surviving soldier? Does she also want to be with that soldier forever, just like you and me?"
Lu Yan smiled and nodded, then took Mu Tang to find the medical soldier and asked about the situation.
"Dr. Qiao, she comes here every day and stays all morning. She can't stop. She keeps rubbing the body of the surviving soldier and massaging it. She can also do simple things like changing dressings. For us It takes a lot of burden off.”
The medical soldier said quickly while busy.
Lu Yan suddenly remembered that Qiao Yue had guarded this soldier every step of the way at Tomorrow Base and even gave him the injection.
It's not surprising that a person who protects himself with his life would fall in love with him.
I just don’t know if Qiao Yue just likes her or has other motives.
"How is the surviving soldier's injury? Is he awake?" Lu Yan asked.
The medical soldier stopped what he was doing and thought carefully:
"When I woke up once, I was completely confused and said my name was Feng Lai."
Then he started moving his hands again and said quickly:
"Most of the injuries on his body are actually no longer threatening. The reason why he is unconscious is because of the small suppurating wounds on his body. Dr. Qiao said that they were bitten by centipedes."
The medical soldier used a syringe to draw the glucose solution and mixed it into the powder, and then said:
"The centipede is only slightly toxic, so it shouldn't be that serious. However, it may be due to mutation. We have tried some serums, but none of them have any obvious effect."
Speaking of this, his voice was full of admiration:
"I heard that Dr. Qiao injected him with an injection to inactivate the zombie virus. We checked the soldier and found that there was really no sign of zombie virus infection. With this injection, our work safety has also increased a lot. "
Lu Yan got the information he wanted, nodded, and then left the temporary hospital with Mu Tang.
…
On the other side, Yan Mingzhun rushed out of the ward, and Ren Yulin quickly chased after him, stopping him on the left and right.
Yan Mingzhun stopped and asked angrily:
"What?"
Ren Yu stepped forward and hugged his neck:
"What did you say you were doing? Of course I was afraid that you would cause trouble."
Yan Mingzhun pushed him away:
"Stay away from me!"
Lin Wanwan hesitated to speak, and finally cautiously said dryly:
"We know you're sad..."
"Who is sad!!" Yan Mingzhun shouted:
"It was because he was trying to be brave and thought he was great. He insisted on going to those dangerous places. Now he is just reaping the consequences. What should I feel sad about?!"
Ren Yu took back his hand and looked at Yan Mingzhun complicatedly:
"you……"
Yan Mingzhun then roared:
"If I'm sad, I'm also sad for my mother. She's worried all day long at home and can't even sleep well. When he comes back, she's afraid of affecting him and forces a smile on his face. Every time he tells others how great he is! He's fine now. Oh, how sad it will be for my mother to know that he committed suicide!!"
As Yan Mingzhun spoke, tears flowed down uncontrollably. He turned his head and wiped it with his sleeve:
"Anyway, don't follow me anymore!"
After saying that, he rushed out!
Ren Yu and Lin Wanwan could only let him run away.
Yan Mingzhun rushed home all the way.
Thanks to Yan Mingxu and his own enlistment in the army, their family's living environment is pretty good, with a small independent house.
In order to prevent his mother from seeing the expression on his face, Yan Mingzhun wrapped himself completely in the quilt and looked at the hat beside his pillow that Yan Mingxu had put on his head before setting off. He finally couldn't help it and his tears stained the pillow.
"Why do you always have to rush forward alone? Why do you always have to show off? Aren't we brothers? Why can't you wait for me..."
Holding back his sobs, which were as weak as the buzzing of mosquitoes, Yan Mingzhun grabbed his hat and wrapped his head in the quilt.
