Ye Xingchen was still a little sluggish, but time did not allow her to think too much. She spun on her heels and quickly ran to the operating room.
Sisi's surgery was scheduled to start at nine o'clock in the morning. Jing Sa was changing her clothes in the sterilization room. Unlike the front-strap style in foreign countries, the sterilization clothes used in military hospitals were tied from the back, which she was a little uncomfortable with.
"Let me help you." Ye Xingchen walked up behind her and helped her fasten the straps on the back of her clothes.
Jing Sa was slightly startled and said nothing, but a smile flashed in her beautiful eyes, but that smile was lonely.
What a hateful woman, I can’t even hate her!
Ye Xingchen didn't care about Jing Sa's ignoring. She lowered her head and tied all the straps on Jing Sa's back. She bit her lower lip slightly and said softly, "Please."
After saying that, he turned around and left the disinfection room.
This operation is performed by Jing Sa and assisted by Deputy Director Li. This is already the most authoritative combination and does not require her help. Moreover, it is difficult to maintain personal emotions when she is present, so it is better not to go in.
At half past eight, Sisi was pushed into the anesthesia room for anesthesia. The child was too young, so she needed general anesthesia. Ye Xingchen couldn't help but feel worried.
At nine o'clock sharp, the operation officially began, and the red light lit up on the white door.
In the corridor, Ye Xingchen, Lou Xi and Lou Yi began a long wait.
Time passes minute by minute, but every minute and second of waiting becomes particularly difficult, even torturous!
Lou Xi and Lou Yi were both professionally trained, and they remained calm even if Mount Tai collapsed. However, at this moment, they were both a little restless.
She knew very well the importance of Sisi to Lou Xi, and Lou Yi was reminded of his daughter by Sisi. At this moment, she felt the same way.
Time seemed to have stopped. It felt like a long time had passed, but when I saw the time, it was only half an hour, so I continued to wait.
No one spoke in the corridor, the three of them were silent, only their eyes were fixed on the operating room.
As time goes by, the sun rises higher and higher. The bright sunlight shines through the glass windows, but it cannot shine into people's hearts. Everything is still cold.
Lou Xi couldn't help but recall Chen Zhou's appearance before his death. The enemy's bullet passed through his heart. His tall body fell slowly. His dark face seemed reluctant to give up, and blood spat out from between his white teeth.
, he raised the corners of his lips and said angrily, "It's a pity. I originally planned to have a child with my wife after I go back this time."
Chen Zhou fell in a pool of blood and did not know until his death that he actually had a daughter at that time.
And that little life didn't know that when she was just implanted and growing up, her father, who had been looking forward to her for a long time, left her forever.
The memory flipped from the smoke-filled battlefield to the maternal and child hospital where the sound of crying babies was everywhere. That day he received a call from Chen Ran. When he rushed to the hospital, he saw her holding a baby in her arms. The baby's cries were loud and loud.
After all the children, even though she was still very young, she seemed to have known the sadness of being abandoned by her mother. Her little face was red from suppressing it, and her eyes were swollen like two small walnuts.
He clumsily hugged the baby and said, "Be good, stop crying." As a result, the little girl cried even harder.
He hugged her tightly again and said, "Baby, be good, don't cry, daddy is here."
The little girl stopped crying, buried herself in his arms, and smiled with tears in her eyes.
That day was the day when the little girl was full moon, and he named her Sisi to let her know that her father in heaven loved her very much and missed her very much.
It was noon and the operation lasted several hours.
During this period, Lou Xi kept his head lowered and his expression could not be seen, while Lou Yi went to the smoking area to smoke several times.
suddenly--
The red light in the operating room went out, and the white door was pushed open from inside.
"Sisi!" Almost at the same time, the three of them stood up and ran forward.
Sisi was pushed out by the nurse, with an oxygen mask on her face. Her face was very pale and as weak as a kitten, as if she would be blown away by the wind if she was not careful.
"Don't come close! The patient needs to go into the sterile room!" the nurse warned.
Ye Xingchen stopped suddenly, wondering why she had forgotten this, and quickly grabbed Lou Xi and Lou Yi.
At this time, Jing Sa came out of the operating room, took off his mask, and said calmly, "The operation was successful, but post-operative observation is required. The child is too young and must live in a sterile room. If the condition is stable within 48 hours, he should be fine."
.”
Ye Xingchen's nerves relaxed and his heart dropped slightly. Although there were still 48 hours to wait, at least this level was passed.
"Thank you!" Lou Xi said solemnly.
Jing Sa smiled and shook her head, then turned and went to the disinfection room for disinfection and cleaning. This was never what she wanted to hear.
Lou Xi's cell phone suddenly rang, it was the army number.
The military exercise is coming soon. He is a key figure in Military Region C. No one can do without him. A half-day vacation is really rare. When the time is up, he must go back immediately!
Looking in the direction of the sterile room, he was reluctant to leave, but had to leave.
Ye Xingchen slowly looked at Lou Xi and saw helplessness and sadness written in his resolute eyes. Putting on the military uniform, he no longer only belonged to himself. The helplessness of a soldier and the responsibility of a man were pressing on his shoulders. At this moment, he
He also wants to be like an ordinary father and stay by his daughter's side, but he has more important responsibilities and missions to complete, and the country needs him even more!
It is said that it is not easy for the families of soldiers, but it is even more difficult for soldiers. At least their families can miss them silently, but soldiers do not even have the energy to miss them. When they go to the battlefield, they must devote themselves to the battle with all their heart and soul.
Tenderness is all left behind. Once distracted, the consequences will be disastrous.
In actual combat exercises, a mortality rate of three thousandths is allowed.
She opened her lips and uttered a few words with difficulty, "Be careful."
◎◎◎
Just after Sisi's surgery, Lou Xi plunged into risk again.
The 48 hours passed quickly, and Sisi was out of danger, but the smoke of gunfire began quietly on the battlefield in the distance.
The 11th military exercise is the largest military exercise in history, especially this year.
This time, the scale is very large. The C Military Region and the L Military Region are the main forces, and the G Military Region is also cooperating. All sea, land and air forces are mobilized. According to the decision of the general headquarters, the C Military Region is codenamed Blue Army, the L Military Region is codenamed Red Army, and the G Military Region is codenamed Red Army.
As the battlefield situation changes at any time, the maneuverability and uncertainty are very strong, which adds practicality and risk to this exercise.
The special forces led by Lou Xi have always played an important role in the military exercises of Military Region C. This time it is even more unusual because they are a blue army and an imaginary enemy force, which makes them more challenging.
The military hospital where Ye Xingchen is located also participated in this exercise, and a small group of medical staff rushed to the front line. Although it was not a real war, it was an actual military exercise after all. A mortality rate of three thousandths was allowed, and no one could guarantee it.
It is 100% safe, so medical staff must be logistically prepared.
Generally speaking, doctors are reluctant to go to the front line. Firstly, the environment is difficult and the living conditions are not good. Secondly, there are too few places to use them. Unless they encounter wounded people, they will stay in the mountains and old forests.
You can't use your mobile phone even if you are wearing it, it's like being locked down.
However, not everyone thinks so, Ye Xingchen really wants to go.
Of course, this had a lot to do with Lou Xi, but she couldn't go because Sisi was still hospitalized, so she had to stay and take care of Sisi.
People who have the same idea as Ye Xingchen include Jing Sa, but she can't go either. As the newly appointed vice president, there is too much work in the hospital. Although the medical services to cooperate with the military exercises are also very important, they are still important.
It was not so important that she, the vice-dean, personally took action.
Each department removed one or two medical staff to form a medical team, which went to the front line in a green pickup truck. The medical staff in the hospital collectively saw them off.
Ye Xingchen and Jing Sa watched the truck set off in unison until it disappeared.
The people seeing him off dispersed. Ye Xingchen was stunned for a while, then turned around to turn back. He inadvertently raised his eyes and caught Jing Sa's gaze. Both of them were stunned, but neither of them spoke. Jing Sa turned around defiantly,
Leaving her with a cold back.
Ye Xingchen bit his lip slightly and swallowed the melancholy.
◎◎◎
As the days pass, the National Day is getting closer and closer. No one knows whether the exercise has already started. According to the plan, it will officially start on the National Day, but the enemy will not tell you "prepare - start" on the battlefield.
If so, both the red and blue sides are ready, like an arrow is on the string, and the battle may start at any time.
Ye Xingchen is worried every day. The only consolation is that Sisi's condition is getting better and better. Although she is a little thinner than before, her life is saved. She only needs to take good care of herself in the future.
Before leaving get off work, Jing Sa came to Sisi's ward to check on the situation. After checking, everything was normal. Without saying anything else, he turned around and went out again.
Ye Xingchen was used to her indifference, so he didn't say anything. He kissed Sisi's little face. The little girl laughed, played for a while, and fell asleep obediently.
After Sisi fell asleep, Ye Xingchen handed her over to the nurse and got up and went to the office, because she was a doctor here and she still had work to do.
Deputy Director Li is a good person. He knew that she was suffering from Sisi these days, so he did not arrange night shifts for her. However, after Jing Sa came to the hospital, he made many new reforms. Everything was based on the principle of fairness and justice. Who should it be?
Even if you encounter special circumstances, you must apply for leave in writing.
Ye Xingchen didn't want to do anything special, and he didn't want to ask Jing Sa for leave, so he insisted on working the night shift.
She made herself a cup of tea to refresh herself.
Nothing happened most of the night, everything in the ward was normal, but accidents always happened suddenly the next second!
The phone suddenly rang, a familiar number that I hadn’t contacted in a long time!
Zuo Lingfeng!
She was stunned and didn't want to answer it, but as if she suddenly felt uneasy, she picked it up nervously, "Hello?"
On the other end of the phone, Zuo Lingfeng's voice was no longer as calm as before, but a little urgent, "I'm downstairs at the military hospital now. Come over here as soon as possible and bring the medical kit!"
"What?" Ye Xingchen was very confused, "Hello... hello?"
The phone has been disconnected.
She was holding the phone in her hands and was dazed for a few seconds. Then she stood up, lay down in front of the window, and looked downstairs.
It was dark outside and she couldn't see anything. The parking lot was so densely packed with cars that she couldn't see the cool Lamborghini.
She couldn't help but frown, what on earth was going on?
Subconsciously recalling what Zuo Lingfeng said on the phone just now, he said to ask her to "come here as soon as possible". It can be seen that he did not know that she was in the hospital, which was even more wrong. In the middle of the night, he was in a hurry
Find her and ask her to bring the medicine kit?
He...could something have happened?
Thinking of this, she didn't dare to waste any more time. She quickly grabbed the medical kit and rushed out of the office. She went to the next door to ask her colleague, "Sister Zhang, I'm going out. Can you keep an eye on me? If you need anything, call me!"
"OK!"
Ye Xingchen hurriedly ran into the elevator and quickly went downstairs.
◎◎◎
When we got downstairs, the first thing we saw was pitch black. Except for the light at the entrance of the hospital, it was empty and no one was there.
Ye Xingchen walked a few steps further away suspiciously, looking around. Suddenly, there was a strange movement in the direction of the flower bed.
"Stars..." The male voice was deliberately lowered, but there was something familiar about it.
Ye Xingchen's heart skipped a beat as he recognized Zuo Lingfeng's voice. He quickly walked over and took a closer look. He was suddenly shocked.
This is still the glorious Zuo Lingfeng. He is hiding in the corner with a rather painful expression on his face, pressing his other arm with one hand. That arm is dripping with blood, even though he is tied tightly with a cloth strip.
But the wound was still gushing blood.
"Are you injured?" Ye Xingchen called out softly, and Zuo Lingfeng immediately made a silent expression towards her.
She quickly closed her mouth and heard him say in a deep voice, "Is there a hidden place around here? Help me take care of the wound!"
Ye Xingchen was at a loss, but saving people was important!
She looked around and said softly, "There is construction going on behind the hospital outpatient building, but it has stopped at night. There should be no one there."
Zuo Lingfeng nodded, gritted his teeth, stood up straight, and walked over under the night.
Ye Xingchen also quickly followed.
In the dark construction site, sand, gravel and soil were scattered everywhere. Zuo Lingfeng randomly found a stone and sat down. Ye Xingchen squatted next to him. He let go of his hand and removed the cloth. The wound was shocking.
The light was very dark and could only be seen through the moonlight. Ye Xingchen moved slightly closer and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
It turned out to be a gunshot wound!
"You..." She couldn't help being shocked. Unlike the United States, China does not allow private individuals to hide guns. How could ordinary people be injured by gunshots?
Zuo Lingfeng didn't have the energy to explain to her, so he said directly, "I have taken out the bullet by myself, but I haven't used any medicine yet. You can help me stop the bleeding and bandage it!"
Ye Xingchen's face turned pale. He took the bullet himself?
She shuddered subconsciously and quickly opened the medical kit to help him treat the wound. As soon as she touched it, her hands felt sticky. He had lost a lot of blood and the injury was serious!
She concentrated on cleaning the wound, but she couldn't help the emotions rolling in her heart. What did he do? How did he become like this? He hadn't seen him for a long time, why was he so scary when he met?
There were one question mark after another in her mind, but no answer. From the day she met him, he had been acting strangely!
Hasn't he been fired from the Special Forces Brigade? How come he still has access to guns? And he's also injured?
He seemed to have encountered some trouble because of the diamond mine incident before, but at most he cooperated with the investigation and didn't get beaten up or killed?
What happened to him?
Ye Xingchen's thoughts were in chaos, but the movements of her hands were very fast because she had to be fast!
Judging from the location of his wound, the place where the bullet passed through was close to a blood vessel. If he did not take it out in time, the situation would be quite dangerous. However, without any anesthesia, he used something to gouge out the bullet and the wound.
It was a mess, and she felt terrible just looking at it. She could imagine how much it hurt him.
"Be patient!" She was about to help him disinfect.
Zuo Lingfeng closed his eyes. Due to excessive blood loss, he felt a slight dizziness in his head. He did not speak, but she could hear the secret clenching of his teeth.
She first used hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the area around his wound. Due to the chemical reaction, a large number of bubbles continued to form in his wound, making a very scary sound.
Quickly disinfect and then start wrapping gauze.
Finally, after the bandaging was completed, Zuo Lingfeng said nothing, but Ye Xingchen's back was soaked with cold sweat.
Zuo Lingfeng slowly opened his eyes and saw Ye Xingchen's pale face. He couldn't help but worry, "Didn't I scare you?"
Ye Xingchen was a little confused. He still had time to care about her?
