1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 243: Heading to the front line, finally meeting Lin Qingshui.

Four o'clock the next day.

Under a dark cloud, the full moon is half-hidden.

In the forest on a summer night, the chirping of cicadas and the croaking of frogs echoed, seeming even more terrifying in the dark night.

The watchtowers surrounding the military base emitted bright and dazzling beams of light, sweeping back and forth across the deep forests, clear streams, and the convoys driving on the cement road...

……

"The military vehicles are coming! Comrades, get up quickly!"

"Wake up, comrades! The military vehicles will set off in half an hour to collect information from the front lines of the war!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get up immediately!"

at the same time.

Military dormitory building.

All the lights in the corridor suddenly lit up, followed by the sound of hurried and orderly footsteps.

Cheng Kaiyan was awakened from her sleep, and then the door was pushed open.

A soldier in military uniform appeared in front of them and shouted to everyone.

Therefore, more than 300 writers who were collecting folk songs got up with sleepy eyes amid the loud wake-up calls and the urging of the staff.

Today is August 17th, Chinese Valentine's Day.

Such a wonderful festival is the day when these writers go to the front line to collect folk songs.

"Pity……"

Cheng Kaiyan thought to himself, he quickly put on his clothes and shoes, and took out an envelope from under the pillow.

This was last night, he wrote a letter home.

"You wrote a suicide note, too?"

Ye Xin had just packed his things when he caught a glimpse of the letter in Cheng Kaiyan's hand and asked.

In the past two days, the leaders of the troops and the staff of the field research team have repeatedly emphasized the dangers and safety issues on the front line.

Many people have already written and sent back their suicide notes.

"No, it's a letter from home. Today is Chinese Valentine's Day. I wrote it to my girlfriend. I'll ask my friend to mail it to her later. She's bound to be worried after being away for so many days."

Cheng Kaiyan shook her head. How could he possibly write a suicide note?

How unlucky.

There is a saying that goes, "A word can become a prophecy."

He didn't want to be a pessimist, so he hoped that this trip to the front line to collect folk songs would be safe and sound.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that today is Chinese Valentine's Day. You young people should be more romantic."

Ye Xin took out the envelope from his chest pocket and threw it on the table, saying with a smile.

He wrote a suicide note, but did not plan to send it back, so he left it in the military dormitory.

Come back safely and pick it up again.

If you can't come back, someone will find you.

"You are quite free and easy."

"That is!"

The two of them packed up their things and went out with the other two people in the dormitory to meet downstairs.

After half an hour of gathering, the number of people was counted.

The training ground was crowded with people, but no one made a sound.

"Now! Get in the car immediately, no delay!"

Ye Yongsheng, with an upright military posture and a serious face, glanced at everyone and shouted coldly.

Then, under the gaze of many soldiers.

With a nervous and uneasy mood, everyone accepted their fate and formed into small teams to board the military vehicles bound for the front line.

……

"Pullingleng!"

The dark green military vehicle was driving along the winding and rugged forest road, and the engine made a low roar, like a beast walking in the night, tearing the quiet night of the forest.

Many birds perched on the branches were startled, and the sound of countless flapping wings echoed in the mountains and forests.

There were more than thirty people sitting in a military vehicle in the middle.

Some people quietly observe their surroundings, or close their eyes to rest, or are filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Cheng Kaiyan sat by the window, quietly looking at the primeval forest outside the window that was immersed in the night.

Wherever the vehicle passed, countless black birds flew up, like a black veil blocking the view in front of the car window.

"Why did you choose to leave at four o'clock? It's not even daybreak yet, it's too early."

Beside him, Wang Anyi rubbed his sleepy face, yawned subconsciously, and complained.

On the other side, a beautiful woman in military uniform sat upright, looking out the window with a calm expression, but her hands, which were clasped around her belly, were tightly clenched together, and a thin trace of sweat had already seeped out of her invisible palms.

Ning Qiuyue has taken the lead this time and is determined to do her best.

In order to achieve the best effect, she followed the writers to the front line for a few days.

But for a noble lady who was born into a prominent family in the capital and had never seen the chaos of war, going to the front line was still a bit of a stretch.

If it weren't for Ning Qiuyue's proud character that helped her stay calm, she might have been a little embarrassed when she got on the car just now.

Hearing Wang Anyi breaking the silence in the car, Ning Qiuyue suddenly relaxed, and her tense scalp and emotions also eased a little.

She just needs someone to talk to her and relieve her emotions.

Ning Qiuyue wiped the sweat off her forehead slowly and methodically with the handkerchief in her hand, and answered Wang Anyi's question seriously:

"Because the area stretching for hundreds of square kilometers here is a territorial dispute area, especially now that we are still in a state of war, small enemy forces often come in to spy on military intelligence or launch surprise attacks, which is very dangerous.

Once the enemy notices our movements and sends an ambush, we will be annihilated. Who dares to go on the road in broad daylight with more than a dozen vehicles? "

"Hiss... This, this is too dangerous."

After all, Wang Anyi was a young woman in her twenties who was ignorant of the world and she could never have imagined it would come to this.

After hearing the explanation from team leader Ning Qiuyue, his face turned pale.

She thought that as long as she didn't carry a gun to fight, nothing would happen.

Now it seems that I was naive.

Here, even within the border, there is a real risk of life.

"There's no need to be so nervous. We have soldiers accompanying us to protect us."

Cheng Kaiyan said a few words to comfort him, saying that in the end, it all depends on everyone's luck.

Half an hour ago, more than a dozen military vehicles parted ways at the intersection and headed for their respective destinations.

Now in this sparsely populated mountainous area, there are probably only their group of people within a ten-mile radius. If they encounter the enemy, they can only consider themselves unlucky and run for their lives.

Of course he didn't say this out loud, otherwise it would only increase the panic.

"That's true..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Anyi and Ning Qiuyue glanced at Cheng Kaiyan.

The light in front of me was dim, and I could only see Cheng Kaiyan's calm and composed profile under the car lights, as if he was at ease.

The two of them subconsciously squeezed towards Cheng Kaiyan, feeling his strong arms and upright figure, and suddenly a sense of security came over them, and their expressions became better.

"Fortunately, I brought Cheng Kaiyan here, otherwise I would have been worried and scared for a while."

Ning Qiuyue was even more grateful in her heart.

Cheng Kaiyan could naturally feel the subtle movements of the two.

Considering their emotions, he did not say anything but changed the subject: "I looked at the map yesterday. It should take more than four hours to drive to Laoshan. You should go to bed and rest first."

Ning Qiuyue and Wang Anyi looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.

"I'll call you if there's anything else. I'll keep watch."

Cheng Kaiyan's warm smile made the two feel more at ease.

First of all, he sympathized with them.

Secondly, he didn't think these two people had any observation skills, so it would be safer for him to come in person.

"Ah."

The two nodded, then huddled back in their seats, closed their eyes and rested.

The only sound in the carriage was the sound of even breathing.

I don’t know how long it took, but Cheng Kaiyan felt a weight on her shoulder, and saw Ning Qiuyue approaching.

Ning Qiuyue stuffed a leather case over.

The metallic luster and cool touch startled Cheng Kaiyan, and he took it and took a look.

A pistol with a magazine.

It is still a Type 64 pistol, using 7.62×17mm bullets, with a magazine capacity of 7 rounds and an effective range of 50 meters.

The Type 64 pistol is extremely rare and precious. It is a craft gun given as an honorary reward only to generals who have made meritorious contributions.

"The old man gave it to me when I came out. There are two magazines in total."

"Cheng Kaiyan, this is for you...you have to protect me, otherwise I will go to complain to Jiajia...and your aunt." Ning Qiuyue leaned close to Cheng Kaiyan's ear and whispered the order.

"Is this how you ask for help?"

Cheng Kaiyan said playfully, "Are you still complaining?"
"you!"

Ning Qiuyue's chest heaved with anger, and she stared at him as if she wanted to dig his heart out.

After a long time, she finally held her breath, lowered her head, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Please..."

"it is good."

"call……"

This bastard... thought he had me in his grasp, right?
Ning Qiuyue was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she was thinking about how to get revenge.

As she was thinking about it, she gradually fell asleep as the vehicle swayed.

Cheng Kaiyan was playing with the metal gun in his hand. It felt smooth and delicate, and felt very good.

The Type 64 is worthy of being the honorary sidearm for senior military officers.

In addition, he felt much more at ease with the gun on him.

Before I knew it, I felt sleepy.

The carriage fell completely silent.

By the time everyone woke up, it was already bright.

The vehicle was already driving on the bumpy gravel dirt road. Not far away, on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, stood a medium-sized military camp.

"Get off the bus when you're there! Pack your things and get off!"

The five soldiers on the vehicle told everyone that the road ahead was not convenient for driving, so they had to get off the vehicle and walk.

Cheng Kaiyan and his group got off the car with their backpacks and headed towards the military camp.

At the same time, seven or eight soldiers came to greet them at the gate of the military camp.

……

Military camp field hospital.

In a simple bungalow.

I saw a young woman in a white coat sleeping soundly on the table, her face resting on her arm. Her face was pale in the sunlight and she was almost unrecognizable.

The woman's eyes were dark and her thin lips were pale.

There were two red indentations on the delicate bridge of the nose caused by the glasses, which would not disappear for a while.

Just lying there, the whole person gives people a feeling of extreme exhaustion, with a kind of broken and fragile beauty that is heartbreaking.

There was a pair of glasses on the table, but the left lens had several cracks.

"Qing Shui! Hurry up! The gunshot wounds on these two soldiers are too difficult to treat. We can't handle it. The shrapnel is all embedded in the flesh. Come quickly, only you can handle it!"

Suddenly, a young woman wearing a white coat covered in blood ran in hurriedly, calling Lin Qingshui's name anxiously.

Lin Qingshui, who was resting on the table, had his eyelids trembling and his eyeballs moving. He soon woke up and said with a trembling breath in his voice: "Hu..."

A full minute passed before Lin Qingshui finally came to his senses. He blinked tiredly, picked up his glasses with weak hands, and followed the female comrade away.

They walked into the operating room.

A strong smell of blood and painful groans were heard.

There was a lamp hanging above the simple operating room, surrounded by a circle of white cloth, and the bed was a stretcher.

A pale-faced soldier was lying on the bed, with bullet holes on his shoulder, arm and thigh.

At this time, the bleeding has been stopped with alcohol cotton.

Lin Qingshui put on gloves, picked up the cotton with tweezers, then pushed aside the bloody crater and observed the shrapnel until he could see it clearly.

She then ordered: "You come to assist me, scalpel, alcohol, hemostatic forceps..."

The female comrade quickly handed it over, and then Lin Qingshui lowered his head, suppressed his fatigue and began a series of operations including cutting flesh, stopping bleeding, straightening shrapnel, etc.

The operation was finally over after half an hour.

Lin Qingshui leaned against the wall, sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

The female comrade quickly wiped Lin Qingshui's face. She looked at the dull and taciturn woman in front of her, and her eyes flashed with deep heartache and grievance.

She reminded him, "Qingshui, after you finish this operation, you should have a good rest. You have been too tired recently."

Comrade Lin Qingshui was transferred from the Military Region General Hospital last month to help out. As soon as he arrived, his superiors assigned him many heavy and difficult surgical tasks.

But this female comrade completed the tasks one by one without saying a word, so that the leader continued to assign tasks to her and increased the workload.

It is euphemistically called a training of medical talents for the general hospital.

At most, Lin Qingshui performed more than 20 operations a day.

Sometimes she saw Lin Qingshui falling asleep while chewing his food.

It’s too hard and too tiring.

"I see."

Lin Qingshui nodded silently. In fact, in her opinion, this little bit of tiredness was nothing.

Is he still as tired as that time when he carried Cheng Kaiyan down the mountain?

At that time, she barely carried Cheng Kaiyan on her back and walked down the mountain. She had lost one of her shoes and her body was covered in cuts and blood.

The soles of his feet, in particular, were pierced by the thorns of the mountain bushes and were bloody.

In addition, the mountain road was muddy, and she slipped and fell, and was covered in mud and blood...

Holding onto the trees on the road, we rested as we walked.

I finally reached halfway, but my foot slipped and I rolled down. Fortunately there was a small river below, so I didn't die.

She choked on the water several times and her teeth were almost broken, but she managed to get to the shore.

Then he dragged him for several hundred meters, and finally he passed out from exhaustion...

He was found and rescued by comrades who came to search.

Now thinking about it, it's a miracle that I came back alive.

Perhaps God didn't want this woman with such an unfortunate fate to lose her only relative...

'I don't know when he will send a letter...Does he remember it?'

Lin Qingshui stared into the distance with lifeless eyes and a dull expression.

Ever since Cheng Kaiyan left, her life has been like a stagnant pool.

Only when she devotes herself to work will she have no time to think about these things.

As she was thinking, she actually fell asleep leaning against the wall.

But in her trance, she vaguely heard a familiar voice.

"Could it be him?"

The thought flashed through her mind, and she soon fell into a deep sleep, without any movement.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe a day, maybe a year.

In short, when Lin Qingshui realized that he was awake, he found himself in someone's arms.

Warm, comfortable and cozy.

It makes people immersed in it and don't want to extricate themselves.

She subconsciously rubbed it with her bony face and felt warmth on her cheek.

"Sister, are you awake?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came to my ears.

Lin Qingshui opened his eyes blankly, and a familiar face appeared in front of him, causing his pupils to shrink.

"How did you come?"

She rubbed her eyes, looking dazed.

"Come and see you."

"I don't need you to come, go back."

Lin Qingshui refused with a blank expression and turned his head to the side.

She didn't want to see Cheng Kaiyan here at all.

If I had known earlier, I would rather he didn't come.

"Have some fruit. I peeled it especially for you."

Cheng Kaiyan stuffed Sister Qingshui's mouth with an apple. He knew that this woman was not good at talking, but she was very tough and gentle.

So, forgive her.

Because of Cheng Kaiyan's dominance, Lin Qingshui lay on the bed with his eyes closed, forced to chat with him.

Of course, Cheng Kaiyan herself was like a chatterbox, telling her what had happened in the past six months.

at the same time.

Beijing City, Beijing Normal University Teachers’ Compound.

Jiang Ting packed her luggage, left a note, and went out with her plane ticket.

Destination, southern Xinjiang.
