536: A person is floating on the river.

For the next ten minutes or so, Lu Jing kept catching fish one after another, while Military Doctor Shen's fishing rod showed no movement at all.

Military Doctor Shen wasn't even paying attention to his own fishing rod; he was just watching Lu Jing's.

"You keep fishing, I'll go check on their condition." Xiao Niannian smiled, got up, and walked towards Squad Leader Liu and the others.

Xiao Niannian first checked on Comrade Li's condition.

Although Comrade Li's condition was somewhat serious, Xiao Niannian and the others had bandaged him and given him the best medicine. The Soldiers had also boiled medicine for Comrade Li to take, so his condition was much better now, and he had regained consciousness.

"Comrade Xiao, is my leg really saved?"

Comrade Li could feel the pain in his leg now, and he wasn't as weak as before.

Xiao Niannian nodded.

"All of your legs can be saved. Listen to Military Doctor Shen and me, take your medicine on time, and in two or three months, you'll be able to return to your posts."

Xiao Niannian also deeply admired these Comrades-in-arms.

Facing four or five times their number, they not only killed several times the number of enemies but also, even in death, refused to be captured by the enemy.

"Really?"

"Thank you, Comrade Xiao, thank you, Military Doctor Shen."

"Thank you, Comrades-in-arms."

They wept with joy.

Even at the brink of death, they showed no fear, only thinking of dealing with these enemies who had infringed upon their national prestige. Even if their leg injuries were severe and they couldn't walk, they would crawl if they could.

But after seeing their Comrades-in-arms, their hearts were filled with only joy.

After so long, seeing the wounds on their legs, they still felt a little sad. They feared they could no longer contribute to the country, no longer defend their homeland.

Comrade Li hugged Squad Leader Liu, his eyes filled with tears.

Xiao Qian and Xiao Wu also hugged each other.

With their Comrades-in-arms so badly injured, they thought that even if their legs could be saved, they would... Fortunately, the Commanders sent these capable Comrades-in-arms. Their medical skills were even more impressive than many doctors in hospitals.

"Here's the fish soup. Each of you have a bowl."

A Comrade-in-arms brought over the prepared fish soup.

"All the bones have been removed from the fish."

Hearing this, their eyes reddened.

These Comrades-in-arms were so thoughtful, they even removed the fish bones.

"Thank you."

They took it and tasted a mouthful.

So fresh.

"Delicious."

It was clearly just ordinary fish, but drinking it now, it was incredibly delicious.

"The porridge will be ready soon."

Xiao Niannian watched Lu Jing reel in fish after fish, while Military Doctor Shen occasionally pulled up his fishing rod, but without a single fish.

"Your skill isn't good enough."

Hearing this, Military Doctor Shen was a bit unconvinced.

"Then I'll switch places with him."

Hearing this, Lu Jing got up and switched places with Military Doctor Shen.

Less than a minute after switching places, Lu Jing caught another fish.

Military Doctor Shen was shocked when he saw this.

This was too infuriating.

He saw Lu Jing reeling in his line again, and he became anxious.

"Let me reel it in!"

He took his fishing rod and walked towards Lu Jing.

Lu Jing handed him the fishing rod and took the fishing rod from Military Doctor Shen's hand.

Looking at the two-plus-jin fish leaping before him, Military Doctor Shen was extremely satisfied.

After swinging the fish up, he happily pinched it and looked at it.

Xiao Niannian almost burst out laughing seeing Military Doctor Shen like this.

Later, Military Doctor Shen's luck improved, and he caught several more fish consecutively.

"Captain Lu, Instructor Xiao, Military Doctor Shen, time to eat."

Hearing this sound, Lu Jing immediately reeled in his fishing rod, and there was still a fish on it when he put it away.

Military Doctor Shen snorted, looking at his calm demeanor.

Lu Jing placed his fishing rod to the side and walked towards the cave.

Xiao Niannian drank a bowl of fish soup. What they ate was different from what the wounded ate; theirs had chili.

As for the captives, no one paid them any mind. These people wouldn't die even if they starved for a few days.

After dinner, Lu Jing, Xiao Niannian, and Military Doctor Shen chatted.

"Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the nearest patrol point, and then a helicopter will come to pick up the wounded..."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian nodded.

The condition of these wounded is still somewhat serious, so it's best to pick them up early and send them to the hospital for treatment.

"Okay."

"These captives will also be taken away."

Xiao Niannian looked at the captives, who were now tied up like zongzi. They lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

After Xiao Niannian had eaten and drunk her fill, she picked up her binoculars and looked outside.

Opposite was also a mountain, and although it was raining, visibility wasn't greatly obstructed.

She wondered where Big Brother and the others were now, and if they had found the other three Comrades-in-arms who fell into the river.

Squad Leader Liu and Xiao Qian had mentioned the location.

That location was near Point Five, and she wondered how the Comrades-in-arms were doing.

"Rumble."

Thunder roared.

Xiao Niannian looked up and saw the outside as bright as day.

With one flash of lightning and rumble of thunder after another, Xiao Niannian sat there, unable to sleep.

"It's getting late, go to sleep first."

Lu Jing sat beside Niannian and reminded her.

"Okay."

After a while, Xiao Niannian fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already morning.

The Comrades-in-arms had already changed shifts several times.

Xiao Niannian saw Military Doctor Shen checking on the wounded, so she walked over.

"The situation is better than yesterday."

Military Doctor Shen said happily.

Xiao Niannian also checked them and found that their condition had indeed improved significantly. A smile appeared on Xiao Niannian's face.

She took out her homemade toothbrush and enamel mug, squeezed out some toothpaste, got some water, and walked to the platform outside the cave to brush her teeth.

Although it was past six, the sky outside was already very bright.

While brushing her teeth, Xiao Niannian heard some movement.

"Help."

Help?

Who?

Xiao Niannian looked around, but saw no one.

Could it be an animal?

She observed carefully but still saw nothing.

She looked down and saw a piece of wood floating in the river, with a person clinging to it.

Xiao Niannian looked closely and saw that the person was wearing a military uniform.

"Get a rope, there's someone floating on the river!"

Hearing Xiao Niannian's voice, many Soldiers quickly stood up.

The Comrade-in-arms responsible for carrying the rope immediately ran over with it.

Xiao Niannian took the rope and tied it to a large tree nearby.

The other Comrades-in-arms also tied off another safety rope.

"I'll go down."

"Instructor Xiao, I'll go."

The Soldiers, seeing the Comrade-in-arms clinging to the wood in the river, all volunteered to go.

"I'll go."

Lu Jing said.

Xiao Niannian heard Lu Jing's words and said.

"We'll go together."

"Okay."

Lu Jing also tied his safety rope and rappelled down with Xiao Niannian.

The Soldier, Xiao Qin, who was clinging to the wood, was extremely weak at this moment. He had drifted down the river. He had passed out during the heavy rain last night.

When he first woke up, he noticed what seemed to be smoke not far away.
