The River Flows East to the Whistle

Chapter 26 Separation

A month passed, and the battle became more intense.

The barracks where Jiang Liu is located, from a paradise far away from the battlefield, is getting closer to purgatory day by day.

Xitu has mastered the method of transplanting guide brain tissue. A guide's brain can be transplanted into dozens of pseudo-bonding sentinels.

More and more reformed sentinels were pushed to the front line, without the need for guidance and five-sense assistance, they possessed extremely powerful combat effectiveness, and what was even more frightening was that all the reformed sentries showed infinite ecstasy and no fear of death.

Within three months, Datang's defense line retreated 20 kilometers.The ratio of casualties between Xitu and Datang on the front line is above 1:5...

Every day from morning to night, a carload of wounded soldiers were evacuated from the battlefield, one by one bloody and bloody, they were pushed into the operating room, lost their limbs in the wailing, or lay in the grave behind the barracks.

More sentries with ashen faces walked into the counseling room tiredly and sat down in front of Jiang Liu.

Today, the amount of counseling that Jiang Liu faces is close to 200 per day. Although he has expanded the number of one-to-many counseling to 1-to-10, it still cannot keep up with the needs of the frontline. The heavy battle puts these sentries under greater sensory pressure. , Jiang Liu could only do his best.

"Thank you." The sentinel who finished the evacuation stood up and saluted Jiang Liu solemnly.

Jiang Liu returned the salute with a smile, and tried his best to ignore the fact that there were only two sentinels in the last squad who returned.

Jiang Liu waved his hand to signal the suspension of the counseling, struggled to open the back door of the counseling room, and slumped on the ground in the deserted corridor.

So tired, so scary.

Jiang Liu covered his throbbing left eye with a gauze bandage. He tore off the gauze and tried to open his left eye, but the scene in front of him was still only a blur.

When will these days end?

Jiang Liu covered his face with his hands.

And Jizo, where are you?Can you come back and help me.

Jiang Liu hadn't seen Jizo for a whole month.

After the Zhou Liang incident, Jiang Liu was in a coma for a week. During this time, Ji Zang got on the military vehicle bound for the front line without saying a word, and didn't even say goodbye to the comatose Jiang Liu.

Why did he leave me?Did I do something to make him angry?Is he on the front line?Are you hurt?

These questions kept lingering in Jiang Liu's mind. He felt that he was going crazy. He didn't understand why he relied so much on that silent sentinel.

"Guide Jiangliu!" The call interrupted Jiangliu's thoughts. He looked up and saw the guard Xiao Deng running towards him in a hurry, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Guide, Doctor Li Xuan just passed out."

Sure enough, without saying a word, Jiang Liu got up and ran out with Xiao Deng.

"Guide."

"Jiangliu guide."

In the corridors and stairs, the sentries gave way to Jiang Liu and saluted. Jiang Liu had no time to return the salute, so he could only hastily spread comforting hints on them.

After the Zhou Liang incident, let her own existence, in Hongyin's words, have become the guardian angel of the military region. It is said that people often secretly take photos of herself and store them in her chest bag. Jiang Liu can only put them away helplessly. smile.

In the operating room on the first floor, a group of people gathered together. The guard Xiao Liu squatted on the ground, holding the unconscious Li Xuan.

"Get out of the way, please get out." Jiang Liu pushed aside the crowd, and hurriedly wrapped Li Xuan with a mental barrier. "Give him to me, don't touch the skin." Jiang Liu took Li Xuan from Xiaoliu's hand, his body was so light that it made people feel distressed.

"I'll take him back to the dormitory, and Xiao Deng will help me prepare the drip." After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he ran to the dormitory with Li Xuan in his arms.

After a while, Jiang Liu placed Li Xuan on the bed in the dormitory. Li Xuan closed his eyes, his face was almost as pale as a pillowcase, and a set of Peng Yuanzheng's military uniform was placed beside his pillow.

Xiao Deng came in with a set of intravenous drips and pushed the door in. Jiang Liu silently covered the military uniform with a quilt. Li Xuan slept with Peng Yuanzheng's military uniform every night, as long as he only knew about it.

"Will you go and turn on the electric heater?"

Xiao Deng agreed to leave, Jiang Liu held Li Xuan's hand, the skin was as thin as white paper covering the bones, the nails were bitten and incomplete, Jiang Liu frowned, tightened the rubber band, felt for the blood vessels, and guided the battlefield. During these days, he has learned injection, bandaging and first aid.

The prickling pain from the needle tip made Li Xuan snort and opened his eyes.

"Jiang Liu, why should I..." Li Xuan sighed, knowing that he had fainted again.

"The emotional pressure in the operating room is too great." Jiang Liu comforted Li Xuan with a smile, "Don't go down in the future, I can handle it."

Li Xuan closed his eyes and didn't speak. Jiang Liu felt uncomfortable. He stood up and went to the window, opened the curtains, and let the thin winter sun shine in. Another military vehicle carrying wounded soldiers came downstairs, orderlies and nurses. Running in a hurry, carrying the wounded soldiers into the already overcrowded ward.

"Xiao Deng, go to the cafeteria and help Jiang Liu and me bring something to eat." Suddenly Li Xuan said, Xiao Deng agreed to leave, and Jiang Liu turned to look at Li Xuan.

"Jiang Liu, come here, I have something to tell you."

Sure enough, Jiang Liu walked over slowly and sat on the chair next to Li Xuan's bed. Li Xuan opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Liu with a smile.

"There's a small box under the bed, take it out for me."

Jiang Liu felt a clear sense of uncertainty in his heart, but he still obeyed Li Xuan's words. There was a clean medicine box under the bed, and Jiang Liu took it out and put it on his lap.

"Open it." Li Xuan said, then coughed weakly a few times.

Jiang Liu opened the box and was shocked to find a simple ventilator inside, as well as equipment and injections in the set. "This is……"

"I can't last much longer." Li Xuan said calmly, "I have a heart problem. It has been many years, and it is very rare to be able to survive until now. You don't need to comfort me, I am a doctor, and I know it better than anyone else."

The words that came to his lips were swallowed by Jiang Liu, and he was speechless.

"This matter, I only ask you. I don't trust others, and I don't want them to know. If I die first, Peng Yuanzheng will not be able to live."

"Stop talking." Jiang Liu lowered his head, he knew what Li Xuan wanted to say.

"Remember what I said, Peng Yuanzheng can't die. If I ever die," Li Xuan paused for a moment, "Use this set of things to make me into a vegetable and send me back to the Capital Tower."

"Stop it!" Jiang Liu cut off Li Xuan's words, his heart ached as if he had been rubbed hard, and he cried for the first time in three months.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Li Xuan raised his hand vigorously, stroking Jiang Liu's lowered head, Li Xuan felt that he often forgot that Jiang Liu was only a 15-year-old child. "You have to be strong, and we all have to be strong, because we are the guides."

Suddenly, the door of the dormitory was knocked open, interrupting their conversation, Xiao Deng ran in panting, "Guide, doctor, the messenger told me just now..."

A harsh sound of brakes sounded downstairs, Li Xuan's face changed, Jiang Liu felt a familiar emotional body, and rushed upstairs. After a while, Peng Yuanzheng rushed in, ignoring the others and hugged Li Xuan tightly on the bed. mysterious.

"Why are you back?" Li Xuan's tears welled up in his eyes, and he clasped his hands on Peng Yuanzheng's back.

Jiang Liu silently looked at Peng Yuanzheng's back, suddenly realized something, turned around and rushed downstairs.

They came back for regular counseling, and Peng Yuanzheng came back, so the other person should also...

An off-road vehicle was parked downstairs, the door opened, Ding Shiyang, who was covered in dust, stepped out of the cab, and there was no one in the back seat of the car.

"Jiang Liu." Seeing Ding Shiyang, Jiang Liu nodded with a smile.

Jiang Liu stopped in place in a daze.

Ding Shiyang saw Jiang Liu's thoughts, and said apologetically, "Dizang stayed at the front line and didn't come down."

At that moment of loss, Jiang Liu couldn't describe it in words, he could only stand there blankly.

That's right, the relationship between myself and Dizang is not a pair of sentinels and guides. They are just friends. Get off the front line and calm your emotions.

Jiang Liu worked hard to get back to normal, raised his head to face Shi Yang with a smile, "Take a break in the counseling room, and I'll help you counsel."

From that night, Jiang Liu began to suffer from insomnia.

He closed his eyes and dreamed repeatedly of the battlefield, Jizo on the battlefield, injured, killed, bloody, and then woke up again and again, covered in cold sweat.

When the day came, he began to collect all the information related to Jizo consciously or unconsciously. He knew that Jizo was very good at the front line, he was not injured, he had made a lot of military exploits, and gained the trust of his comrades.At the same time, he also knew that Ksitigarbha had been charging in the most dangerous places.

Jiang Liu began to lose weight, and he found himself biting his nails subconsciously.

He didn't know that he was experiencing the withdrawal reaction after the sentinel and guide were forcibly separated.

However, at the end of the second month, Ksitigarbha still did not appear.

Jiang Liu began to collapse, pale and struggling with his daily work like a walking dead.

At the end of the third month, Jiang Liu, who hadn't closed his eyes for a few days, was in despair when he saw the military vehicle carrying Peng Yuanzheng, Ding Shiyang, and Hong Yin parked downstairs in the dormitory, but Dizang still did not appear.

"Go to the conference room and sit down. Let's suspend the counseling in the afternoon." Ding Shiyang looked at Jiang Liu worriedly, and Jiang Liu felt that at that moment, he didn't even have the meaning to live anymore.

……

In the meeting room, sat Peng Yuanzheng and several black gold and topaz officers.

Jiang Liu followed Ding Shiyang and sat in the corner of the meeting room.

The atmosphere of the meeting was extremely heavy. All the officers were reporting the situation on their own front lines. The words were full of death, injury, and defeat. Jiang Liu endured the strong emotional pressure around him, but his consciousness gradually became trance.

"If the fight continues like this, there is absolutely no chance of winning. Heijin's troops have already lost more than half of their strength. If it continues, it will only be a matter of time before they fall. The only possibility of victory is to send a large number of guides from the central government to join the sentries at the front." After the officer reported, he said worriedly.

A weak wry smile sounded at the scene.

Peng Yuanzheng waved his hand and stopped everyone's self-mockery: "I know everyone's difficulties. The Huangyu Military District has agreed to transfer troops here. The strength of several brigades will arrive in a few days." When Peng Yuanzheng said this, he asked Huang Yu who was present The commander of the military region bowed to signal.

"Everyone understands that behind the Black Gold Military Region is the air defense base on the Northwest Front. If this place is lost, I don't know how many lives will be lost. The land area of ​​Xitu is not large, and the population is less than half that of Datang. The number of sentinels can be calculated. In many cases, the victory or defeat on a battlefield is actually a battle for the number of sentries on both sides. Datang and Xitu have such a long front, unless Xitu concentrates all its troops in one place, we can carry it through .I have already applied to the central government for support, and I expect a reply within a week, so please hold on."

Peng Yuanzheng announced the end of the meeting, Jiang Liu stood up with everyone, suddenly felt dizzy, lost his mind for a moment, Jiang Liu lost the protection of the mental barrier, negative emotions pressed towards him like a landslide, and before he could struggle, Jiang Liu rolled his eyes. Hei, fainted.
