Chapter 29

  I think I know why that Hou Jing got a new hand to give me an injection and even specifically got the one with the slowest reaction.

  It turned out that the nurse I caught by the hand that day and who was talking nonsense was actually Hou Jing!

  Here I want to talk about the female soldiers in military hospitals.

  It's absolutely true that female soldiers are tough because they've been spoiled by male soldiers!

  Among the thousands of vigorous old men, there were only a dozen or so female soldiers scattered about like scallions, who wouldn't look down on them and indulge them a bit?

  The reborn male soldiers rushed to do it, even if they didn't understand the phrase "cherish jade", but looking at those weak little female soldiers swaying with every step while doing heavy labor, which man couldn't help but feel pity?

  Moreover, in the army, everyone is particular about being quick and efficient. Even when going to the toilet, they would run quickly, and anyone who saw someone dawdling around would feel annoyed but couldn't scold a woman, so they could only do it themselves.

  Men, sometimes are really a bit cheap, even if they wear that vest.

  Anyway, from the second day I woke up, Gangming brother really played the military tradition.

  He got up early, without saying a word, and filled all the thermoses in the nurse's duty room and doctor's office with boiling water. If it weren't for considering that the doctors were a bit particular about their tea cups and didn't like others touching them, perhaps Ah Ming would have been able to pour a cup of tea for each doctor and nurse.

  Kang Ming brother brought back my breakfast from the military cafeteria, and then we two finished the battle in five minutes. After that, we started sweeping the floor with a mop.

  A ward with twelve small rooms, two large military rooms, a nurse's duty room and a doctor's office, all on the ground floor were mopped. Brother Kangming was very strong, holding three mops in one hand, wearing only a vest after taking off his jacket, his muscles contracting and relaxing as he mopped the floor with a somewhat artistic beauty to it.

  Then, every day, it's a must to stand at the door of the ward and wait for Sister He to make her rounds. Anyway, neither of them speaks, they just focus their eyes on each other, sparking electricity.

  By the third day, they were both feeling fine but I couldn't take it anymore!

  The one who gave me the injection was Xia Le, I don't know if it was the first time she gave an injection and broke the needle in my butt, leaving a psychological shadow. Every time she saw me, she would tremble. In three days, although she didn't break any more needles, she made mistakes with the medication twice.

  If it weren't for me watching my mother play those tricks in the hospital since I was a kid, I would know that there are drug names and numbers on the medicine box. I think it's unlikely to die from eating it, but getting some other kind of disease is quite possible.

  It's okay if Hou Jing just takes care of Xia Le, that silly girl. After all, Hou Jing is a professional military doctor, she won't mess up the medication. But it's no use, her eyes are all on my brother Kang Ming, how can she still remember that I'm lying on the hospital bed with my life in danger?

  Actually I'm not afraid of death either, I really don't fear it. The problem is that when I take medicine, I can get some kind of terrible side effect.

  To be honest, I'm probably a natural-born rascal? I look at Brother Kuangming and Hou Jing, both of whom seem to get along well with each other, but neither of them makes a move, just waiting for the other to attack, waiting for heaven to open its eyes. I'm anxious!

  After tossing me around for three days, I was barely able to get out of bed. I walked into the nurse's duty room and took a casual glance, and then I knew everything I wanted to know.

  The font on the nurse's shift schedule is that fancy script used by doctors to write prescriptions, which others can't read, but I've been seeing it since I was a kid, so of course I can understand it.

  Back in the ward, I fell asleep with Jiang Ming Gege.

  Anyway, Brother Kuangming has been taking care of me for several days and is really in need of a good sleep. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he started snoring loudly, which could be heard throughout the entire corridor.

  By nightfall, I reckon the doctor on duty has also gone to sleep and Brother Kuangming has rested enough and should get up to take care of things. Then I started making trouble.

  Hum loudly and with great effort!

  I woke up my brother with a loud noise, and I started shouting that my stomach didn't feel right, it was either because of something wrong with what I ate tonight or Xiaole, that stupid girl, gave me the wrong medicine. And the possibility in the back is quite big, extremely big, definitely huge, gigantic, great!

  Kuang Ming's brother got anxious and said, "Baldy, you little brat, don't scare me! You hold on for a bit, I'll go find a doctor for you!"

  I quickly hummed and said no way. I grew up in the hospital, I know that if a nurse gives a patient the wrong medicine, they will be held responsible!

  If the patient dies, I'll be sentenced to prison. If you find a doctor and I'm fine, Xia Le's future will still be ruined. It's not easy for a girl like her to join the army, and if she gets sent back home because of me, she'll have no way out. We can't just think of ourselves, that would be too heartless.

  I must say I'm really impressed by my own acting skills!

  Anyway, I was humming and chanting at that time, doing everything I could think of. Then I saw my brother Ah Ming rushing around frantically, so I said "What's wrong? I can't just watch you die in pain, you little brat..."

  I narrowed my eyes and looked at my anxious brother, who was almost done. I saw that the timing was right, so I quickly said, "Brother, don't be anxious."

  It seems that Hou Jing is on duty in the nurse's office today. That girl, a serious military doctor, is also half a doctor after all. Hurry up and call her over! I reckon she gets along with Xia Le, and she has a good heart, so she won't gossip. Hurry up and find her to come over.

  Kuang Ming brother probably also hastily agreed without thinking, and said "good good good"! You little rascal, hold on for me, I'll go find someone, you must hold on!

  As soon as Brother Qiangming left, I immediately picked up the teapot on the bedside table and took a few big gulps of water.

  I'm tired!

  How could I, who am so clumsy and awkward, with a red face and thick neck, be easy to get along with? If it weren't for my brother Guangming finding a good woman, I wouldn't bother going through all this trouble!

  Brother, I've helped you with everything I can. The rest is up to you! As the saying goes in Hunan, "I can help you find a wife, but I can't give birth for you." Now it's your turn to take action!

  Listening to the footsteps outside, I quickly lay down again and narrowed my eyes to look at Hou Jing, who had a worried face and followed Kang Ming's brother in. He rushed over and asked, "What's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

  I quickly hummed and said that I estimated that Xia Le, that silly girl, gave me the wrong medicine. Ah, my stomach hurts. I estimate that it was some kind of pill that I ate, and besides, I've been allergic to that thing since I was a kid. After eating it, I felt uncomfortable.

  Hou Jing quickly examined me for a few moments and then said that it could only be known after a blood test what was wrong with me. I immediately went to find the doctor on duty, telling you to hold on for a while. At this time, I couldn't care about Xia Le, that silly girl, human life is at stake, I couldn't just watch you get into trouble!

  Huh?

  Looking for a doctor?

  Then isn't it pointless for me to pretend for half a day?

  Hurry up and hum a few more times, I think I can hold on. Take a look at you, are you okay? If it's nothing serious, we won't disturb the doctor, let's resolve this internal conflict among ourselves.

  Estimated that Hou Jing looked at me, it didn't seem like an allergic reaction, and looking at the clear thinking and smooth breathing, it didn't look like someone who was about to go meet with Marx. So he agreed, and just sat down next to me with my brother Guangming, staring at me.

  I said no, no. You're sitting so close I can hear your breathing and it makes me uncomfortable all over, move to the window side and keep a distance from me, don't turn on the light either, looking at the light is dazzling and makes me even more uncomfortable.

  I don't know if Hou Jing had any regrets at that time, but my brother Kang Ming seemed to have figured it out. With another glance at the nearly empty teapot on the bedside table, Brother Kang Ming's eyes showed a sudden realization mixed with a strange expression of gnashing teeth and gratitude.

  Let's take Hou Jing and say that we two will take care of the patient, we'll just sit a little further away, turn off the lights, and check on this kid every now and then.

  Then, my humming gradually weakened and slowly stopped, replaced by a series of delightful little snorts that hit the spot.

  My brother started by pulling Hou Jing over to see me every ten minutes, then twenty minutes, thirty minutes, an hour...
