Deng Shiqing first asked about his injury with concern. Wang Jianguo said it was fine. He didn't say much, but directly took the initiative to report how the fire occurred at night. After an investigation, the cause of the fire was not found.
Deng Shiqing said that it was difficult to talk here. Although Wang Jianguo said that the wound was fine, Deng Shiqing did not believe it. They returned to the tent and sat down, and Deng Shiqing got to the point.
He said, "There were fires in the sky at night. After the battalion headquarters discovered the situation, it notified each farm. A car of people came out of each farm. On the road, I met Comrade Guo Zhensheng who was going to deliver a letter. He has already told me generally about your situation. The wind is blowing from the east and has not spread into the mountains, so this matter is easy to handle. There are weeds under the mountains, and as long as we can control them, we can extinguish the wildfires."
Wang Jianguo was full of worries, "Batalion Commander, I accept the punishment. I will accept whatever punishment is given to me by the organization. As the field commander, it was my negligence that caused the wildfire and caused the loss of national property."
Deng Shiqing said, "Jianguo, it is not wrong for us comrades to reflect and self-criticize when we encounter it. This shows that we are responsible. However, I believe that the wildfires and the loss of national property are definitely not what we want to see. The wind is strong in spring, and here in the Great Northern Wilderness, several wildfires occur every spring, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself, the organization understands your discomfort."
Deng Shiqing didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, but said he wanted to see Wang Jianguo's injury. Wang Jianguo said it was fine, but Deng Shiqing insisted on seeing it before he felt relieved. He then took off the things tied to his legs.
The moment he saw the wound, Deng Shiqing frowned and asked someone to call Hui Dongfang over. This time he came to fight the mountain fire. He didn't know the extent of the fire yet, so he naturally had to bring the doctor from the battalion headquarters.
After Hui Dongfang saw the injury on Wang Jianguo's leg, she also said that the situation was not optimistic. Her statement was not much different from that of He Siwei. She was mostly worried about causing sepsis. The most conventional approach was to send it to a large hospital immediately and receive treatment there. treat.
Wang Jianguo naturally disagreed after hearing this, and just said that some medicine would be enough.
Deng Shiqing ignored his opinion and called Jiang Lifeng over, "You arrange a car to take Comrade Jianguo to the Corps General Hospital for treatment."
The Construction Corps General Hospital in Shenyang is far away from them. Unless the director has a high level, he will be sent there for treatment and maintenance. Ordinary employees have no such power.
Jiang Lifeng didn't move. Deng Shiqing understood what he was thinking. He said, "You don't have to worry about the rest. Just follow my arrangements. By the way, call Guo Zhensheng over."
Since the leader understood the reason and explained it, Jiang Lifeng did not delay anymore and immediately went out to make arrangements. The driver came soon, and Guo Zhensheng came with him.
There was no one else in the tent, so Wang Jianguo said, "Batalion Commander, there is really no need to arrange things like this. If you mobilize a large number of people, your family will be worried if they find out."
Deng Shiqing said, "The superiors have told me that your affairs must not be ignored. Jianguo, I am doing things according to the instructions from the superiors. You must understand. As for the injury on your leg, you also heard what the doctor said. This It’s not a child’s play. You don’t want to leave. I understand your feelings. When you recover from your injuries, you will come back immediately. I will find you on the farm to help you keep an eye on it.”
Seeing that Wang Jianguo's face was softening, Deng Shiqing kept saying, "It's impossible for me to hide your situation and not report it to the superiors. Do you really want to wait for the old leader to come down and escort you back in person?"
Wang Jianguo smiled bitterly, "Okay, I listen to you, but can we go to the staff hospital..."
Deng Shiqing interrupted him, "No, you follow my arrangements."
Outside the tent, Sun Xianghong said she couldn't go in anymore and asked Zhao Yongmei to help her back.
After the battalion headquarters arrived, Xiao Shougen took his employees to the foot of the mountain. Even the female employees also went there. Only Sun Xianghong stayed because of her injury. Zhao Yongmei was arranged by Xiao Shougen to take care of her and stayed with her.
The two returned to the tent. Zhao Yongmei saw Sun Xianghong's silence and said, "You are also seriously injured. I will go and talk to the battalion commander and go to the hospital together."
Sun Xianghong said, "How can I compete with Field Manager Wang?"
When Zhao Yongmei saw that she had no objection, she said, "Everyone is injured, and they should go to the hospital."
With that said, she asked Sun Xianghong to wait and walked out of the tent.
Zhao Yongmei met Jiang Lifeng and the others on the road. She called out to Jiang Lifeng, "Assistant Jiang, Comrade Sun Xianghong's back was burned when he saved Field Director Wang. Can we go to the hospital together?"
Jiang Lifeng said, "I want to report this to the battalion commander."
Ask Zhao Yongmei to follow him.
After entering the tent, Jiang Lifeng talked about Sun Xianghong.
Deng Shiqing said, "Director Wang also reported this situation to me just now and sent Comrade Sun Xianghong to the hospital together."
Afterwards, Wang Jianguo and Sun Xianghong got into a truck and were sent away overnight.
They didn't hear about this until He Siwei and the others came back to rest.
More than 300 people put out the fire here, and the food problem had to be solved. He Siwei and several people from the farm were arranged to come back to cook.
The rations were also brought from the camp. The people from the camp headquarters arrived at Kuai Tianshi, and He Siwei and the others went to put out the fire. After daybreak, Xiao Shougen asked them to come back and cook.
Steamed cornstarch noodles and steamed buns, made potato soup, and ate unlimited meals. With this explanation, the rice was ready, and the battalion headquarters brought in more rations.
He Siwei had something to eat, but he was reluctant to eat until he was full. Looking at the corn noodles, his mouth began to salivate.
When Zhao Yongmei was eating, Teng Fengqin said she wanted to get food for Sun Xianghong, and she told her about Wang Jianguo and Sun Xianghong being sent away.
Tang Shuang had a cold temper and couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't I listen to you when I came back?"
Zhao Yongmei said, "I forgot."
forgotten? Can such a thing be forgotten?
Tang Shuang glanced at Zhao Yongmei suspiciously, wondering why she did this.
He Siwei didn't look at Zhao Yongmei at all. If she couldn't think of why Zhao Yongmei didn't say anything at first, after hearing Zhao Yongmei say that she forgot, she figured out Zhao Yongmei's intention.
Zhao Yongmei was testing her.
He Siwei also believed that as long as she raised her head at this time, she would definitely meet Zhao Yongmei's appraising eyes.
Therefore, she did not raise her head and did not want to give Zhao Yongmei a chance to test her.
He Siwei carefully recalled the relationship between her and Wang Jianguo, especially yesterday. There were no loopholes. Moreover, she and Wang Jianguo did not do anything else. How did Zhao Yongmei notice it?
After eating one steamed bun, his stomach was full and his weak arms and legs felt stronger. He Siwei started to eat the second one.
Next to him, Tang Shuang was still asking about Wang Jianguo. If he didn't do anything wrong, he wouldn't feel guilty. Even if he cared about the other person and asked a few more questions, he wouldn't make people think too much.
After He Siwei thought about this, he realized that she was going in the wrong direction, and he was also thinking, she and Wang Jianguo had nothing, what should they be afraid of? Besides, Wang Jianguo is Wang Jianguo, who do you, Zhao Yongmei, think?
While chewing the steamed bun, He Siwei raised his head and looked at Zhao Yongmei. Sure enough, Zhao Yongmei was looking at her.
He Siwei asked directly, "Zhao Zhiqing, what's the matter?"
When she opened her mouth like this, it made Zhao Yongmei unable to deal with her.
