a row of egrets

Chapter 153

Carl was injured, clutching his left arm, limping in and sitting against the wall, not breathing steadily.

Xiao Yibai immediately went over with the medicine box, bent in front of Karl, and took out a few gauze scarves to stop the bleeding. He had just treated the wound on his arm when Xiao Yibai lowered his head and saw that there was also a gun on Karl's thigh. Wounded, bleeding gurglingly.

Carl was not shot in the arm, the bullet had grazed his muscle, but he was shot in the thigh.Xiao Yibai took off his white coat, tore it into strips and tied it to Karl's thigh to barely stop the bleeding. He raised his head and said to Karl, "Persist, I will perform the operation for you when you get back to the hospital."

"I can't go back." Carl coughed, "All your colleagues are dead."

"What?" Xiao Yibai was stunned, staring blankly at Karl.

"The two medical vehicles were blown up, and they didn't have time to get out of the vehicle." Carl raised his head and exhaled, "Most of the other bodyguards died, and a few of them should be seriously injured, but if they don't get timely medical treatment, they will die." Not long to live."

Xiao Yibai's mind was in turmoil. On the two medical vehicles, there were four of his Chinese colleagues and two local doctors. All of them died in this unexpected gunfight?

"No..." Xiao Yibai shook his head, "Impossible, maybe, maybe someone will still be alive..."

As he spoke, he was about to get up, and Karl took his arm: "I saw it with my own eyes, the car was blown up, and there were scattered corpses all around."

Xiao Yibai sat on the ground in a daze, lowered his head, after a while, he whispered: "I killed them."

"No, I have observed that the firepower is concentrated in front of the street, which is the direction you are about to drive. Even if you don't get out of the car, all of you will be attacked if you drive a little further." Carl looked at Xiao Yi Bai, "You can't go back to the hospital now. If they know you're not dead, you won't live long. Someone will always want to kill you. Terrorists won't show mercy to you."

"Then what do you do?" Xiao Yibai looked at Carl's wound, "The bullet in your thigh must be removed as soon as possible."

Carl looked sideways at the child who shrank aside, and asked him in dialect: "Can you take us to your house?"

The child raised his head, and the fear in his eyes seemed to have not faded away, then he shrank and nodded.

"Wait a little longer." Carl endured the pain, "We will leave after the terrorists around have dispersed."

Xiao Yibai nodded, he leaned against the wall, thinking of those colleagues who set off with him from the military hospital and worked with him for a long time, just disappeared in an instant.He regretted it very much. If he had not insisted on getting out of the car alone, but brought a few more colleagues down together, would he have survived a few more?

He thought of his colleagues' longing for returning to China in half a month. In fact, everyone has been suppressing it. The atmosphere and environment here are really terrifying. Everyone is working and living with tense nerves. exhausted.

But there was no chance, and their lives ended in a foreign country, under the ridiculous and ruthless shells, without even a complete body.

Xiao Yibai exhaled heavily, feeling extremely sad in his heart, but he couldn't shed a single tear.

When the sky darkened, Xiao Yibai and Karl started to leave.

They went around to the back of the building and moved quietly from the grass. Even if the attackers had dispersed, if others saw them in such a nearly vulnerable state, there was no guarantee that no one would attack them.

The child's home is in a small village next to the refugee camp. Although it is dilapidated and dark, it is better than the small tents in the refugee camp that are no higher than waist height.

The child seems to have no parents, and there is only one grandma in the family.

Carl explained their situation to Grandma, saying they needed a break here and would pay for it.

Grandma acted as if she hadn't heard anything, she just lit a fire to boil hot water, pointing at Carl's wound and talking eagerly.

Xiao Yibai supported Karl to sit on the bed, opened the medicine box, there were only the most basic disinfectants and alcohol in it, and there was no way to anesthetize him, so he hesitated for a while.

Carl shook his head: "You don't need those, you can just take out the bullets."

Xiao Yibai hesitated for a moment, then handed a towel to Karl to bite into his mouth: "Then hold on."

They stayed in that village for more than a month.

Xiao Yibai discussed with Karl, and after Karl's injury healed, Xiao Yibai contacted the embassy to prepare to return home.

In fact, Karl wanted to leave a long time ago, but Xiao Yibai said that his injury was not fully healed, and insisted on letting him continue to recover from his injury.

One and a half months later, Carl and Xiao Yibai returned to the hospital first. The doctors in the hospital were surprised and surprised by Xiao Yibai's survival, and told him that his passport and some personal items had been taken by the embassy. The staff sorted it out as a relic.

So Xiao Yibai continued to work in the hospital while contacting the embassy to reissue a passport. The news that he was still alive was not spread. On the one hand, it was to ensure his safety. On the other hand, after experiencing such an incident, Xiao Yibai Yibai has already seen a lot. Before returning to the country completely, he would rather not say anything, because he doesn't know what will happen in the next second. What he wants to say and what he wants to say goodbye have already been clearly stated in the suicide note.

He was just a little worried about how Lu Zhan would live now when he knew the news of his death.

The embassy has copies of Xiao Yibai’s ID card and passport. It didn’t take much time to reissue the passport, but Xiao Yibai was not in a hurry to leave. He would often return to the village with Karl to provide medical supplies to some villagers who had a cold and fever. He helped as much as he could, and together with other doctors, he built a tomb for the colleagues who died in the attack. He continued to work in the hospital in order to make up for the assistance tasks of the colleagues who died.

After more than a month like this, he ended his aid mission in Somalia and got on the plane back home.

Before leaving, Carl patted him on the shoulder: "I hope we don't see each other again, this place is too dangerous, please don't come here again."

Xiao Yibai smiled rarely: "Okay, please take good care of yourself."

Carl reached out and gave him a hug: "When you go back, you must find the person you want to see. I wish you happiness."

"I will." Xiao Yibai patted him on the back, "I wish you happiness too."

Before boarding the plane, the news that Xiao Yibai was still alive was reported back to China, so when he got off the plane, even in the early morning, many classmates, colleagues, relatives and friends came to greet him.

Grandpa stood in front of the crowd and looked at him with uncontrollable tears in his eyes.

Xiao Yibai stepped forward, hugged his much older grandfather, and said softly, "I made you worry."

Grandpa patted him on the back with a trembling voice: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

He went to his grandfather's house to rest, and turned on his mobile phone, which was sent back to China as a relic. There were countless messages on WeChat, all of which were messages sent to him by his relatives and friends after hearing the news of his death.

Those words are sincere and sad, Xiao Yibai can see the severe impact of death from between the lines, it is too heavy a blow for everyone who cares about himself.

In the top chat box, there is a message from Lu Zhan to him.

There was only one sentence, and it was sent three months ago, the day the news of his death was sent back to China.

Lu Zhan said: Xiao Yibai, I really want to hear you talk to me again.

Xiao Yibai didn't know what kind of mood Lu Zhan had when he said these words. In Lu Zhan's heart, he knew that he would never wait for Xiao Yibai's reply, but he couldn't help but send such a message. WeChat.

Xiao Yibai really wanted to reply him with "I'm back", but it was very late now, he was afraid of scaring Lu Zhan, and there was an interview tomorrow, so he fell asleep.

Finally returned to his hometown, back to a familiar place, no need to worry about being woken up by gunshots, no need to worry about sudden death, this is too precious and too dreamy for Xiao Yibai.

After the interview, Xiao Yibai was sorting out the materials. Regarding his assistance in Somalia and some internship reports, he needed to submit them together, and then began to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. After that, he might not be able to come to the hospital every day. He had to prepare for the exam. After that, you need to study public courses in school first, and then return to the hospital for internship after finishing the studies.

He Yun came over and knocked on the door: "In such a hurry to sort out the materials? Didn't the director say that you won't be going back to school until next month?"

"There are too many things, it's better to finish them early." Xiao Yibai replied with a file bag.

"Lu Zhan just came, do you know?"

Xiao Yibai paused his hand, raised his head: "Where are others?"

"Let's go. He said he was very happy to see you again. He was crying like something. I comforted him for a long time." He Yun couldn't help laughing when he thought of Lu Zhan's crying appearance.

Xiao Yibai lowered his eyes and didn't speak.

"It's not easy, Yibai." He Yun looked at him, "You don't know what Lu Zhan's life will be like after he comes back. I've met him a few times, and he's completely different from before. He doesn't smile or talk, only After he saw you today, I felt that he was like a human being, a little bit like before."

"En." Xiao Yibai looked at the file bag in his hand, and replied in a low voice.

"It's a miracle that you can come back alive. Don't miss out with Lu Zhan again. I know that you two have had a hard time for more than three years."

"Wait until I'm done." Xiao Yibai continued to flip through the files, "Let's settle the matter at hand first."

After He Yun left, Xiao Yibai stood alone in front of the desk in a daze.

He actually didn't want to wait, he actually wanted to meet Lu Zhan and talk to him.

When Lu Zhan returned to the company, he was still dazed, as if he was walking on cotton, his footsteps were vain, and his head was full of soft noises.

He took a copy of the departmental indicators to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu looked up at Lu Zhan's absent-minded expression, and asked him with a suppressed smile, "What's the matter with you?"

"What's going on?" Lu Zhan slowly focused his eyes, "What's wrong with me?"

"Why did you come back so soon?" Lu Yu took the document, looked at it and said, "I thought you were going to talk to Dr. Xiao for three days and three nights."

"I just glanced at him, but he didn't see me." Lu Zhan thought of the scene in the military hospital in the morning, and still felt unbelievable like a dream, "He seems to be very busy, he should be very busy, just came back, things must be a lot of……"

"Besides, I don't know how to say hello to him. I haven't slowed down yet... and I still can't face him."

Lu Zhan's nose was a little sour when he said that, he was the one who caused Xiao Yibai to suffer so much, and he caused the two to be separated for so long. This knot has been tightly tied in his heart for three years, and he still can't untie it.

After Lu Yu finished signing, he looked at Lu Zhan who was frowning and sniffling softly, and then he felt that his former brother seemed to have returned.

"It's not your fault, I've told you many times." Lu Yu sighed, got up and patted Lu Zhan's head, "You should find a time to talk to Dr. Xiao as soon as possible, it's really not easy for him to come back , such an opportunity is equal to a miracle, don't miss it again."

"I know, brother." Lu Zhan's voice trembled slightly, "Wait for me and take it easy, I still feel like I'm dreaming."

Lu Yu laughed: "You should think that the previous three years were just a dream. It's time to wake up now. Your Doctor Xiao is back."
