Li Zheng and Zhang Jian were carried into the battalion infirmary.
When they came to their senses, they opened their eyes and saw each other in the next bed.
This time it was even more serious than last time, and the two were hanging in salt water.
Battalion hygienist saw the two wake up, couldn't help but flirt immediately and said: "Are you two like my bed here? How always you two come in, new recruits training to now, fainted I have seen more, but at the same time together fainted together come in twice you are scorpion poop only one."
After saying that, he came over to give the two of you a check on the saline bag, and then added: "I heard that the two of you have made a name for yourselves today, and Vice Division Commander Zhang has praised you."
Then he said in a tone that sounded like Zhang's deputy division commander, "These two soldiers are good! They have the ruthlessness of soldiers in their bones, they are a good piece of material!"
Hearing that Vice Division Commander Zhang had performed himself, Li Zheng couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.
He wanted to sit up, but as soon as he moved, his whole body hurt.
The hygienist scolded, "Move what? What are you doing? Lie down and rest! Lying down for more than four hours, you two recruits are not afraid of the world, other veterans are not as fierce as you, do not want to die? I'm telling you, if you play with your lives, you'll die. You were both in shock when you came in! I say your platoon leader is also a tough guy, really treat the new recruits as the best practice ah?"
Said while Li Zheng's pillow cushion high, so that he can sit up slightly, after doing all this, and then instructed: "I go out for a while, the two of you honestly give me to stay here to lie down, don't go anywhere, if something shouts, I'm in the duty room over there."
Said, the person turned around and went out.
Li Zheng half lying on the bed, trying to raise his hand, suddenly found that his hand pressure fundamentally can not make strength, muscle all hard, as if in the skin stuffed into the iron like, grit your teeth to raise, hand constantly shaking, can not make strength, tossed some, and finally gave up, honestly sitting there.
The opposite side of the Zhang Jian and him, grinning and grumbling half a day, finally half leaning on the edge of the bed, want to reach out to get a cup of water on the nightstand to drink, but the hand simply can not reach over.
Between the two only a nightstand, in the middle of the two beds, but not side by side, is a bed connected to another bed, the end of the bed against the kind, the two are face to face, foot to foot lying, wide-eyed, unless the eyes are closed, or else to see each other.
Bedside table two water cups filled with cool white, placed on the bedside table, Zhang Jian no matter how to reach out, just two or three inches away from touching the cup.
He wanted to move toward the end of the bed, but that is, his thighs are also hard, the whole person is like a zombie, the waist can not bend much angle, hard to bend down on the pain of hissing and sucking cool air.
Finally, Zhang Jian is very helpless.
He looked at Li Zheng, who was also looking at himself, and Li Zheng was making the same effort - trying to get a cup of water.
Like Zhang Jian, he was experiencing the same difficulty.
After looking at him for a while, Zhang Jian sneered, "Don't toss it, I can't even get it, can you?"
Li Zheng was particularly disgusted by Zhang Jian's usual tone, Zhang Jian was the kind of person who could offend people with his mouth open, Li Zheng didn't know if this guy was also this kind of behavior at home, or maybe Zhang Jian was used to talking like this because few people dared to bother with him because of his family relationship.
Although what he said was the truth, it felt harsh in his ears, how he heard it was uncomfortable.
"I said Zhang Jian." Li Zheng couldn't help but ask, "I'm curious if you talk like this at home too? Can you speak properly as a human being?"
Zhang Jian answered the question with almost no hesitation, "That depends on the person, and who you're talking to."
Li Zheng felt that this guy was incurable, and it was a waste of saliva to break up with him.
Right now for Li Zheng, saliva was a precious thing.
Maybe it was because of sunbathing for an afternoon, Li Zheng's neck and small arms were on fire, the skin was red, it was estimated that he would have to take off a layer of skin like a snake in the next couple of days, it was sunburned.
So now he wanted to drink water very much.
But the cup, though near at hand, was just out of reach.
"Hygienist!"
He could only call for the hygienist, hoping that the hygienist would help.
But there was no response.
The hygienist did not appear at the door.
It looked like he wasn't at the duty room end of the room and had gone off somewhere.
These days, the hygienist couldn't be relied upon.
The lack of water in his body led to an extreme craving, Li Zheng gritted his teeth, endured the pain coming out of his muscles, and finally moved to the position at the end of the bed, this time it looked a little closer than last time, he once again stretched out his hand, wanting to get a cup.
The nightstand was not far from the end of the bed, only about thirty centimeters, if it was a normal day, this was an even simpler action, within reach.
Unfortunately, the body is not good, the waist can not bend much degree, want to side close, but found that the saline bag hanging in the bed on the iron frame, the tube is not long enough, want to sit at the end of the bed to reach out, but the hand can not straighten, always more than ten centimeters short of the eye can be touched, but just can not touch the cup of that abomination.
Soon, Li Zheng was already sweating profusely.
Opposite Zhang Jian can not help but laugh.
Li Zheng said: "Why are you laughing? As if you can get it?"
Zhang Jian lost his smile and really tried to get the cup.
He couldn't let Li Zheng underestimate him.
Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain.
Li Zheng couldn't get it, and Zhang Jian was equally close.
After some efforts, the two finally appointed.
"Damn, the hygienist did it on purpose, right?" Zhang Jian couldn't help but curse foul language, "Couldn't you put it a little to the side and had to put it in the center!?"
Li Zheng stretched his neck towards the door, hoping that someone passing by could call out for a favor.
But after waiting for half a day, the doorway corridor is quiet, no one.
No wonder, now is the time for dinner, people are all eating in the dining hall, after eating is the most pleasant rest time of the day, most people will go to the basketball court to cool off and blow off some water, waiting for the start of the evening drills.
In this way, naturally no one would pass by the door of the infirmary.
Finally, the two of them were thirsty to the point of exhaustion.
Li Zheng tentatively asked Zhang Jian, "I have an idea, everyone can drink water, will you cooperate?"
Zhang Jian originally subconsciously did not want to talk to Li Zheng.
Who was Li Zheng?
It was the person he hated the most.
No.
To be precise, it was the person he was most jealous of.
However, his body's desire for moisture and his sticky throat had already caused him to feel like he was suffocating.
Match it if you can!
He thought.
"Tell me, what idea."
After thinking it over, Zhang Jian finally chose to compromise.
Li Zheng lifted one of his feet and said, "The hand is not long enough, the foot is enough."
Zhang Jian froze for a moment and then said, "You can pick up the cup with your foot?"
This time it was Li Zheng's turn to despise him, "Look at you, don't you know how to turn your head? We just can't touch the cup, it's a little bit short, hands are not enough, feet are enough, push it with your feet, push it a few inches and you can get it with your hands."
Zhang Jian's eyes lit up, he had to admit, compared to Li Zheng, he was really that much worse in IQ.
Of course, this could not be admitted.
"I had already thought of it, I just thought my feet were too dirty!" Zhang Jian made an excuse for himself, "So I didn't say anything."
Li Zheng was too lazy to poke holes in his lie and just teased, "So are you drinking? You don't mind being dirty, I don't mind being dirty, so push it over to me."
Zhang Jian was a little embarrassed, but his mouth was still hard, "Why can I only help you drink water? I want to drink it too, I can't cheapen you for nothing."
Li Zheng impatiently said, "OK, not for nothing, we help each other, no one owes anyone, OK?"
"Okay!" Zhang Jian repeatedly emphasized, "Let's help each other."
So, that evening, the two people in the first dark still bright infirmary, you use your stinky feet, I use my stinky feet, each other for each other to push the cup.
It was the first time the two had ever worked together.
However, the results were not bad.
Although when drinking the water, Zhang Jian or Li Zheng, both felt that the water did have that sour odor of feet.
