Chapter 481: Wounded Soldier Camp (I)
The dim tent was filled with a foul putrid stench, and the ground was covered with blood and dirt, and a filthy young man lay on the only bed in the tent, and the sheets were not much cleaner than the floor, but he didn't seem to care at all, but stared at the top of the tent with a pair of blank eyes, his eyes full of numbness and pain.
This young man's name is Gao Xing, and he is also the first cadet of the military academy, because of his optimistic personality, he smiles every day, and his name is very similar to "happy", so the other cadets call him happy, but now Gao Xing is not happy, because he is injured, and he can't recover from his injury.
As soon as he thought of his injury, Gao Xing couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch his left arm, but the place where it should have been his left arm was empty, his left arm was gone, to be precise, it was cut off by the enemy on the battlefield, and it was broken shoulder to shoulder, and the blood that spurted out at that time dyed Gao Xing into a bloody man, but even so, he still endured the severe pain and killed the Xixia man who cut off his arm, and then he passed out, and when he woke up again, the people around him told him, It's all thanks to the miracle doctor in the army, Zhilugu, otherwise his life would have been confessed to the battlefield.
However, when Gao Xing knew that he was missing an arm, he would rather die on the battlefield by himself, maybe he was a fool who ate and waited for death, and his weight also reached an astonishing more than 380 pounds, but since he entered the military academy, he slowly understood the meaning of his own existence, he trained himself desperately every day, and took classes seriously, in order to be able to become a brave and fearless general on the battlefield as soon as possible like his ancestors.
But now this dream is all ruined, because he is missing an arm, and he can only be a waste person in the future. Even his own life may need to be taken care of by others, let alone get on the horse to kill the enemy, these days Gao Xing whenever he thinks of this, he feels like his heart is being cut with a sharp knife, at first he will cry bitterly, but slowly the whole person becomes more and more numb and decadent. There were special people in the wounded barracks to take care of him, but every time he came, he scolded him, and the people who took care of him slowly only fed him when he was eating, and ran away as soon as he finished feeding, so as not to be scolded by him again.
On this day, Gao Xing was still lying on the bed like a dead man, and when he woke up, he stared at the roof with his eyes wide open, and when he was sleepy, he closed his eyes and slept for a while, and sometimes he couldn't even tell the difference between day and night, but he felt that these things didn't mean anything to him anymore. Maybe dying here like this now is the best place for him.
But at this moment, suddenly the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a dazzling sunlight shone in, just shining on Gao Xing's eyes, which made him involuntarily squint, and at the same time raised his only remaining arm to block the sun, but then he felt a surge of anger, and suddenly sat up and wanted to scold. But what he didn't expect was that there was a very familiar figure standing in front of the door.
"School ...... Inspector! Gao Xing's eyes were red, and he exclaimed in a trembling voice. He never expected to see Zhao Yan here, and it was the man in front of him who changed the fate of him and those fellow students.
"Stand up!" What Gao Xing didn't expect was that Zhao Yan saw him but ordered him loudly with anger on his face.
Almost as if reflexively, Gao Xing suddenly jumped up from the bed, and then stood upright. It's just that he hasn't exercised for a long time, and as soon as he stood up, he immediately felt his whole body go limp, and he almost fell to the ground all at once, but he still managed to stand up straight.
"Good!" Zhao Yan looked at Gao Xing in front of him and nodded, and then reprimanded with disappointment. "It's just one arm missing, you're looking for death and life like this, it's so disappointing to me, the military academy has taught you a long time ago, even if you are in a desperate situation, you must not give up, look at what you have become now?"
"Inspector, I ......" Gao Xing instinctively wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
"What am I! Couldn't you go into battle to kill the enemy without an arm, how did you educate you in the military academy in the first place? As a general, you are using your brains to lead troops to fight, not relying on personal bravery, missing an arm and not breaking your brains, as long as you want, you can still stay in the army in the future, or even better than others! ”
"Inspector, I'...... Can I really stay in the military? Gao Xing couldn't help but step forward excitedly when he heard Zhao Yan's words, Da Song has very strict requirements for the physique of soldiers, and a person like him who is missing an arm must not stay in the army, even if he is a disciple of the general, he is already dead, but Zhao Yan's words are like giving him hope again.
"Of course you can, you and your classmates will be generals in the future, you only need to command other soldiers to fight, where is the need for you to charge into battle in person?" Zhao Yan said firmly again at the moment.
He said that these are not all to comfort Gao Xing, the students of the military academy are different from ordinary soldiers, they have received a complete military education, and with the development of new weapons such as firearms, the form of war will also change, Gao Xing They are undoubtedly more able to adapt to the change of war shape than the general intersection, so as long as they are alive and willing to stay in the army, then the Great Song Dynasty will not let them leave lightly.
Hearing these assurances from Zhao Yan, Gao Xing finally cheered up, and the spirit of the whole person also changed dramatically, unlike the half-dead appearance before, Zhao Yan also nodded with satisfaction, in fact, Gao Xing's previous appearance can't be completely blamed on him, after all, he is only a young man less than twenty years old, his psychological tolerance is limited, and breaking an arm is like the sky falling for a person of his age, so Gao Xing's previous appearance is normal, but he is now a soldier, So Zhao Yan had to cheer him up as much as he could.
Next, Zhao Yan called the people outside in, and then cleaned Gao Xing's tent, what should be washed and replaced, Gao Xing also wiped his body under the service of others, after all, his broken arm has not grown well, and he must not touch the water, and when he finishes washing, he will change into new clothes, although the whole person looks a lot thinner, but it is much stronger than the dirty appearance before.
Zhao Yan patiently waited until Gao Xing finished freshening up, and then chatted with him for a few words, and then told Gao Xing to recuperate during this time, even if he could not participate in the battle of attacking Xingqing Mansion, but it was not an easy task to conquer the entire Western Xia, and there were still many opportunities to clear out all forces in the future, Gao Xing also nodded yes, and his eyes also rekindled his fighting spirit.
Seeing Gao Xing's appearance, Zhao Yan nodded with relief and prepared to leave, after all, this is the wounded barracks, almost all the wounded soldiers in Jingzhou City are concentrated here, and there is not only one injured student in the military academy, Zhao Yan also wants to visit other people, Gao Xing originally wanted to go together, but during this time, he was too cheap about his body, and the original injury was not good, so his body was very weak at this time, so Zhao Yan let him rest well.
At that moment, Zhao Yan walked out of the tent where Gao Xing was recuperating, and as soon as he walked out, he saw a young man limping out of the back of another tent and saluted Zhao Yan and said, "Governor, how is he doing now?" ”
"Don't worry, he's cheered up now, if you have time in the future, you can talk to him more!" Zhao Yan was not surprised by this young man who suddenly appeared, but showed a gentle smile.
The young man in front of him is named Cao Gu, who is also a student of the first class of the military academy, and he is also the cousin of Cao Song and Cao Ying, speaking of which he is still a relative of Zhao Yan, and now he is a capital head, but he was killed on the battlefield some time ago, and he was also recuperating in the wounded barracks, when Zhao Yan came here before, he happened to see Cao Gu, and he also learned about Gao Xing's situation from him, so he went to visit the other party and persuaded him to cheer up.
"I ...... I went to see Happy some time ago, but he kicked me out. Cao Gu smiled bitterly at the moment and said, he and Gao Xing have known each other since childhood, and the two got along very well when they were in the military school, this time Gao Xing broke his arm, he was also very sad, and he wanted to comfort him before, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Gao Xing as soon as he entered, and today he happened to meet Zhao Yan, so he asked him for help.
"Haha, some time ago, it was Gao Xing who got into the horns of the bull by himself, but now he has thought about it, so if you go to visit again, he will definitely not curse again!" When Zhao Yan said this, he stepped forward and patted Cao Gu's shoulder, and then continued, "Brother Gu, you are a person who values love and righteousness, which makes me proud of you!" ”
Hearing Zhao Yan's praise, Cao Gu also showed excitement on his face, and then he looked at Gao Xing's tent not far away, and it seemed that he was indeed worried about the other party. Seeing this, Zhao Yan smiled again and said, "Since you're worried, let's go and see Gao Xing, it just so happens that I'm also going to visit other injured students." ”
Cao Gu finally nodded when he heard this, first thanked Zhao Yan, and then turned around and went to Gao Xing, but after a while, the laughter of two young people came from the tent, which also made Zhao Yan outside smile, and only after a while did he turn around and leave.
Next, Zhao Yan went to visit the other injured students, the situation of these students was all he learned from Yang Huaiyu, in contrast, the remaining students were not as injured as Gao Xing, and some were even ready to leave the injured barracks, Zhao Yan also encouraged a few words of encouragement, and then got up to leave.
However, after visiting the injured students, Zhao Yan did not leave immediately, but went to the back camp of the wounded barracks, which is the place where the seriously wounded are treated, and Zhilugu has been staying there, and Zhao Yan heard that he has also encountered some trouble.
