Chapter 633 Return Journey
For more than a year, except for the time when he was taking care of the two children, Wang Tiedan has maintained more than twelve hours of sleep every day.
This is the first time I haven't slept for a whole day and night.
When he arrived at the guesthouse, Wang Tiedan fell asleep immediately and slept from noon until the next morning.
That's called a fragrance.
After washing up and arriving at the cafeteria, Zhu Yong and Captain Hao rushed over after hearing the news.
"Tiedan, how do you feel? Are you feeling well?"
"It's okay, how's Dahan?"
"I'm fine, and I'm full of energy. I wanted to get out of bed, but the doctor wouldn't let me. He said he was waiting for you to change the dressing."
Wang Tiedan looked at the time.
"Eat first, there's no rush. How about the other soldier?"
Speaking of this, Captain Hao couldn't help but get excited.
"Comrade Wang, your medicine is amazing. After drinking half a bottle, my complexion became much better, the inflammation and fever subsided, and I woke up in less than half an hour. The doctor said that if I rest well, I will recover soon."
"That's good enough. I haven't asked yet. Didn't we win the battle five years ago? Why do they still dare to provoke us? Let's go and beat them up." Wang Tiedan asked.
"This one……"
Captain Hao lowered his head a little embarrassedly.
It was Zhu Yong who took over the conversation.
"It's not as simple as you say. War cannot be started just by saying so. We need to wait for orders from above. And as you know, the domestic situation is a bit chaotic and not suitable for war."
Wang Tiedan was speechless.
"So, Dahan was injured in vain?"
"How could that be? We must remember this grudge and we will get back at you sooner or later!"
have to.
An old term. Of course, this is determined by national conditions and there is nothing we can do about it.
But Wang Tiedan won't tolerate it.
After dinner, Wang Tiedan went to the hospital again. Unexpectedly, he saw Zhu Jie peeling an apple in front of Dahan’s window.
"Zhu Jie, you're here?"
"Tiedan, thank you. I heard everything. Fortunately, you are here." Zhu Jie quickly stood up, hesitated for a moment, and handed over the freshly peeled apple.
Wang Tiedan didn't hesitate and just took it and ate it.
"That's a bit too formal. When did you arrive?"
"Last night."
As he said this, Zhu Jie looked at his brother with resentment.
Wang Tiedan lifted up Dahan's clothes and poked around the wound, causing Dahan to grimace in pain.
"Tiedan, be gentle, it hurts!"
"Hey, why are you pretending? Yesterday I didn't even give you anesthesia, and you didn't even cry out when I cut your flesh. Now you cry out in pain when I poke you. Are you doing this on purpose for your wife to hear? Aren't you a slut?"
"I'm about to faint from the pain, how can I scream?" Dahan argued cunningly.
"I almost fainted from the pain, but I didn't!"
Wang Tiedan took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to the blushing Zhu Jie.
The two are only engaged and not married yet.
"I'll leave this job of changing the dressing to you. Change it once a day."
"Ok!"
Zhu Jie carefully held the porcelain bottle in his hand.
"Then I won't bother you guys from showing off your affection. I've been to the plateau before, so it's a good opportunity for me to travel. I'll come back to see you in a few days."
After saying this, Wang Tiedan turned around and left, taking Zhu Yong away with him.
"They are so happy after a long separation. We can't be a light bulb."
"You haven't gotten married yet!"
Zhu Yong was still a little reluctant to leave.
"Okay, I still have something to ask you. When are you going back?"
"These two days, I only asked for five days off. But there are no flights this time, so I have to drive back?"
"drive?"
Wang Tiedan felt like vomiting when he thought about the bumpy twelve-hour drive from Lhasa to Yadong County.
It will take at least three days to go back.
"Aren't you from the logistics support department? It's not easy to dispatch a plane."
"I spent a lot of time and effort to apply for the planes that came here. Do you think planes are cabbages that you can just take when you want them?"
"Well, forget it. It's better to ride a horse than to take a car. Get me a horse later and I'll ride to Lanzhou."
"Ride a horse? You're crazy. There are bears, wolves, and wild yaks on the plateau, and they are very aggressive. No, you have to follow the car. I have to take you away the same way I brought you here." Zhu Yong said.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. It's decided!"
After saying that, Wang Tiedan looked at Captain Hao again.
"Captain Hao, would you mind taking me to the Chumpi Valley?"
"It's not inconvenient. It's the border, but it's a little unsafe."
"It's okay. I heard the scenery over there is nice. Let's go and take a look."
"That's fine, but don't run around. Follow our border guards."
"OK, no problem."
In this way, Wang Tiedan followed Captain Hao to the Chumbi River Valley and strolled around for three days. On the one hand, he got to know the nearby terrain, and on the other hand, he also learned about Asan's deployment.
On the fourth day, Wang Tiedan returned to the hospital.
At this time, Dahan was able to sit up and had recovered well overall. Zhu Jie stayed by his side almost every step of the way.
"I heard from my brother that you want to go back on horseback, but you shouldn't. There is a lack of oxygen on the plateau and it is full of wild animals. It is very dangerous," Zhu Jie advised.
Wang Tiedan checked Dahan's wound and was relieved to see that it was already showing signs of scarring.
"So you want me to ride in his car? Forget it. I'm not in a hurry. It will shake me apart."
"It's dangerous for you to be alone!"
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious!"
Zhu Jie wanted to persuade him further, but Dahan at the side interrupted.
"Tiedan, the plateau is more dangerous than the mountain behind Dawang Village. Do you really want to go back on horseback? Otherwise, you can follow the transport team. They drive trucks and deliver supplies here regularly. It will be more comfortable and safer."
"No, riding a horse is fine. Don't worry, I know what to do. When we get back to Lanzhou, I will send you a telegram and then take the train back."
"All right!"
Dahan stopped trying to persuade him, as he knew that there was no point in trying to persuade him.
The next two days are time for rest and recuperation. Although this place is a county town, it is actually a remote mountain village. Apart from some game, there are very few supplies.
Through the introduction of Captain Hao, Wang Tiedan exchanged a mare and a foal that had just been weaned from the villagers. He also got a Type 38 rifle and a lot of bullets for self-defense.
On the morning of the third day, Wang Tiedan checked Dahan's injuries again. After making sure that there was no problem, he set out on the journey back to Sijiu City.
Captain Hao and Dahan's comrades were very reluctant to let him go and accompanied him for a long way before returning, looking back every few steps.
Wang Tiedan saw them leave and rode away for a distance before he put the two horses back into the space and disappeared into the grass by the roadside.
Chumbi Valley.
Before daybreak, the wake-up call sounded in the sentry post.
The border guards hurriedly got up, tidied their quarters, ate, and then resumed their usual day of patrol.
Five soldiers, fully armed, began patrolling the border along the designated route.
However, as they walked, the five of them felt that something was missing.
When he saw the big hole on the ground, the squad leader turned around several times and confirmed it several times, then he suddenly became anxious.
"Oh, no, who was so bored that he stole our boundary marker?"
