Wang Jianxin returned to the dormitory, closed the door, and fastened the latch.
He sat at the desk and took out the letter paper and pen from the space.I spread out the letter paper, unscrewed the cap of my pen, thought about it, and started to write a letter home.
"Dad, mom, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, little sister:
Hello.Everything is fine with me on the grassland. I am in good health, eating well and sleeping well. You don't have to worry.
Let me tell you some good news.A while ago, there were enemies crossing the border. I cooperated with the troops in a battle and made meritorious service.The commander of the army saw my good performance and specially recruited me to join the army.Now I am a glorious PLA soldier.
There's even better news.The leaders were ready to recommend me to go to university and study medicine.If it works, I can return to the city early.When the time comes to go to school in Beijing, I will be close to home.
Don't send me any more money.I have an allowance now, which is enough.I have saved all the money you sent before, and I will pay it back to you when I get back.
I miss you so much on the grassland.I miss the braised pork made by my dad, the dumplings made by my mom, I miss the way my eldest brother drives, I miss my second brother’s honest smile, and I miss my little sister calling me third brother.When we get back, our family will have a good reunion dinner.
You should also take care of yourself.Dad has rheumatism, so wear more clothes when the weather gets cold.Damn you have a stomach problem, don’t eat anything cold and hard.Brother, please drive safely.Second brother, don’t be too tired from work.My little sister needs to be obedient and study hard.
Wait until I get back.
Son Jianxin
July 20, 1970"
After he finished writing, he folded the letter paper and put it in an envelope.I'll ask where the nearest post office is tomorrow and I can send it away.
Then he took out a set of silver needles from the space.This set of silver needles was collected from Ulaanbaatar. It is a fine sterling silver needle that comes in all lengths and thicknesses and is packed in a cowhide needle bag.He opened the needle pack and took a look. The needle tips were sharp, the needle body was smooth, and each needle was well maintained.He put the bag of needles in the drawer and closed it.
I sat on the bed, closed my eyes, and thought about how to treat tomorrow through the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine in my mind.
Deputy Commander Zhou's shrapnel was in the lower lobe of his right lung, not too deep, but very close to the bronchus.Western medicine surgery is risky and can easily injure the trachea.The method of traditional Chinese medicine - acupuncture plus oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine - can stimulate the lungs to produce aseptic inflammation, wrap and liquefy the shrapnel, and then convert it into a mucus-like substance that can be coughed up through the phlegm-reducing effect.This method is slower to work, but safe and non-invasive.
"Acupoint selection for acupuncture: Feishu, Chize, and Tanzhong. Feishu is the back-shu point of the lung, which can regulate lung qi; Chize is the joint point of the lung meridian, which can clear away heat from the lung; Tanzhong is the qi meeting, which can regulate qi and resolve phlegm. Combined with the oral administration of Huayu Paiyi Decoction, the shrapnel should be discharged in about a week."
Wang Jianxin went through the treatment plan in his mind and felt that there was no problem.Then he took off his clothes, lay on the bed, and went to sleep early.
As for Vice Captain Zhou, they did not go back to rest after the game.Captain Zhang, Chief of Staff Li and the three deputy captains returned to Captain Zhang's office. As soon as the door was closed, several people sat down.
Deputy Commander Wang was the first to speak: "Old Zhang, how much do you know about Comrade Xiao Wang?"
Captain Zhang took out a document from the drawer and placed it on the table: "This is his file. Take a look."
Deputy Captain Yao picked it up, flipped it over, and read: "Wang Jianxin, male, sixteen years old, from Beijing, family background is a worker. In March 1969, he went to the countryside to join the production team in Shilanao, Damao Banner. In June of the same year, he was appointed as a border patrol officer. In April 1970, he was awarded the third-class personal merit for capturing six cross-border militants. In July of the same year, he was awarded the first-class personal merit for killing and arresting more than 30 cross-border militants and rescuing a comrade."
"First-class merit?" Deputy Commander Wang's voice became louder, "This guy has achieved first-class merit? I have been a soldier for twenty years, and I have only achieved one second-class merit!"
"Why are you so anxious?" Captain Zhang waved his hand, "It is clearly written in the materials that he killed more than 20 people with one gun, captured six alive, and ran dozens of miles to save the old herdsmen at the Red Flag Outpost. This first-class merit is well deserved."
Chief of Staff Li nodded: "I've read the battle report, and it's true. And he used a 56-and-a-half, not a machine gun, not a submachine gun. He was able to accurately hit more than 30 targets at night. His marksmanship is really impressive."
Vice-leader Zhou remained silent, sitting there holding a teapot and drinking water slowly.After everyone had finished speaking, he spoke: "Have you verified that he can treat doctors?"
Captain Zhang said: "We have investigated. When he first joined the production team, he treated an educated youth from dysentery and cured the person with tea and garlic. He also treated herdsmen's back pain and delivered sheep. Captain Su He of the production team said that he 'knows a little bit of medical skills'. Later he also worked as a barefoot doctor, and the commune health center specially trained him."
Deputy leader Zhou nodded and said calmly: "Let Comrade Xiao Wang give it a try tomorrow. After looking at so many places, there is no good way. Maybe Comrade Xiao Wang has other methods. It doesn't matter even if he can't see it. Anyway, after so many years, I am used to it."
Everyone sighed.Deputy Commander Zhou is a fierce general who fought hard on the battlefield. Now he is trapped in the office by a piece of shrapnel. He can't run or jump. Everyone knows the pain in his heart.
