"The truck needs to refill with water, so we have to stop by the river ahead. Let's take this time to have a meal. Don't eat too much. Let's get some rest and continue on our way!"

The backup driver on the front passenger seat opened the small window and shouted to the truck in the back. Everyone in the car then prepared the food and water in their bags and were ready to get off at any time.

As soon as the car stopped by the river, the rumbling sound of the car disappeared instantly, and the team members began to get off the car one after another.

Many people vomited on the side of the road even after eating calamus, and their faces turned pale.

The crowd had no choice but to finish their food and drink their water, and while the truck was refilling with water, let those who were carsick take a break.

From afar, many large trucks that had followed all the way from Yanjing also slowly stopped by the river.

Li Xiangnan, Fang Yu, Wang Defa, Yang Weidong and others found a warm place sheltered from the wind, sat in the sun, smoked cigarettes and chatted casually.

Yao Mile and Wang Dashan went to the back to negotiate with the leaders of other teams, probably wanting to find a companion on the way south so that they could take care of each other.

Trucks are slower than cars, and the journey south to the border is not short. Even if there are two drivers in one truck, driving day and night, it will still take more than ten days without any unexpected situations.

With so many people and so many cars heading south to provide support, it is indeed a good strategy to stick together and keep each other warm.

"I'm going to go collect some firewood, you guys chat!"

When everyone had smoked half of their cigarettes, Wang Defa gave Xiao Li a wink and glanced at Liang Hui, who was busy taking care of a person suffering from motion sickness with Lin Chuqiao not far away.

"Hurry up! Get us some hot water!" Fang Yu hugged his arms and felt cold. His nose was running red and he felt like he was about to catch a cold!

"Go and hide in the car first! The temperature here is low!" Li Xiangnan patted him on the shoulder. He didn't want anyone to get sick before they even got there.

"Okay! I'll go too! It's too cold here!" Tao Zhengtie pulled Fang Yu and got into the car together.

Yang Weidong squatted at the corner of the small slope, then he took out a photo from his wallet and looked at it.

"Are you looking for a partner?" Li Xiangnan knew that this was the girl Yang Weidong was dating in Northeast China, but the two of them were not blessed by their parents.

Yang Weidong nodded, but then shook his head, "It would be great if it was a partner! It's nothing! I can only dream about it!"

Li Xiangnan patted his shoulder and said nothing.

"Xiao Li, I've made up my mind. If I don't die this time, I'll go to the Northeast and bring her over. Even if I can't get a letter of introduction for transferring her household registration, I'll still get the certificate! I'm an illegal resident, so what? I'm not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of this? I'll make money to support her!"

Yang Weidong said firmly.

"This is a good idea!" Li Xiangnan was stunned, but supported his decision.

"Xiao Li!" Wang Defa hooked his finger at Li Xiangnan in front of him, with some excitement on his face.

"I'll go over and see what's going on!" Li Xiangnan greeted a few people, walked over, and saw the fat man with a smile on his face, so he asked: "Have you confessed to Liang Hui? Did she agree?"

"Get lost! That girl doesn't like me! Damn, Xiao Li, you're using me to play the cymbals, right?" Wang De was furious and pushed him aside. "Go ask yourself, I'm too lazy to tell you!"

After saying this, he ran away angrily!

Li Xiangnan cursed, and seeing Liang Hui had already walked to a big tree and was waiting, he knew that she might really have something to tell him, so he walked over quickly and shouted, "Liang Hui! What did you say to Fatty?"

"Youwei called!"

"Really? Is she...is she okay?"

Hearing the news about Youwei suddenly, Li Xiangnan was somewhat moved. He looked at Liang Hui intently and asked, "When did it happen?"

"On New Year's Eve, she called the Lin family! I went over to answer the phone!" Liang Hui recalled, "She was fine!"

Li Xiangnan opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"You want to ask her if she has anything to say to you, right?" Liang Hui said with a sad look in her eyes.

"Does she have it?" Li Xiangnan asked softly.

"Yes!" Liang Hui took a deep breath and said, "Youwei's original words were, Huier, tell Li Xiangnan that I am doing better than expected! I am fine!"

"..." Li Xiangnan paused.

The image of that quirky girl with dimples on her cheeks appeared in my mind.

Then he smiled and said, "Then I feel relieved!"

"Well, Li Xiangnan, Youwei said that she is doing well in Zurich, really!" Liang Hui smiled, pointed to one side and said, "No more, I'm going to help! It's good that you know about Youwei's current situation!"

"Yeah!" Li Xiangnan nodded slightly.

He didn't notice that when Liang Hui turned and left, two lines of tears flowed unrestrainedly down her cheeks like turbulent waves.

Li Xiangnan involuntarily took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. After lighting it, he took a light puff.

"Did Liang Hui tell you about Youwei?"

Suddenly, a voice was heard from the side. Li Xiangnan turned around and saw that it was Lin Chuqiao standing beside him, breathing heavily, so he nodded.

"You don't have to worry! She's really fine!" Lin Chuqiao looked up at the sky. Somewhere below that direction was where her sister was.

Li Xiangnan exhaled a puff of smoke, turned around and asked, "Come out, uncle Weimin and the others don't know, right?"

"I left a letter on my pillow! Just like when I went to work as an educated youth! I don't regret it!" Lin Chuqiao said calmly.

Turning around to look at her expression, Li Xiangnan really felt a little unfamiliar with this girl.

"Gather! Get in the car!"

At this time, a whistle sounded in the distance, and Director Wang was urging the team to set off.

"Let's go!" Li Xiangnan retracted his gaze, put out his cigarette butt, and followed.

"Li Xiangnan, you must stay alive well when you go to the southern border this time!" Lin Chuqiao shouted behind him.

Li Xiangnan didn't look back, but just shook his hand gently.

Life or death depends on whether the cannonballs have eyes!

The truck started with a rumble, and this time it formed a huge team, leading the medical teams from major universities and hospitals in Yanjing, and began to move south.

This journey lasted for fifteen days.

When the team members began to feel hot and started to take off their thick cotton jackets, they realized that they had arrived at the southern border.

There were many people who had left their homes with their families and luggage on the roadside. Ox carts, horse carts, and donkey carts loaded with heavy furniture packages were moving northward with difficulty.

The closer we got to the south, the more people there were fleeing the war, and the more panicked and miserable their clothes and expressions became.

After walking for another day, we could see charred black land, ruins of villages, and many newly built graves everywhere.

The people on the truck crowded in the bed and looked at the devastated land outside, their eyes red and sobbing silently.

“Stop, stop, stop!”

In front of the donkey cart that was carrying a family of three heading north, Yao Mile stopped the truck, put a canvas bag with the food on the cart and jumped out.

In this family, the daughter was lying in her mother's arms, drowsy, with chapped lips. I don't know if she was hungry.

Half of my mother's body was covered in blood, and her arms were tied with red bandages.

My father was pulling the donkey cart through the mud by a woolen rope.

"Fellow villagers, please get something! Give it to the family members and children!" Yao Mile put the things on the cart, his eyes reddened, and turned around to get on the cart.

"Comrade, please take it back!" The man came over again with the canvas bag, stuffed the things into Dean Yao's arms, and shook his hand firmly, "You keep it! When you go to the front line, these things can save your life! You need it more than I do! I can still survive if I flee north, but you... are facing life and death!"

After saying that, the man sighed, turned around and pulled the donkey cart away.

Yao Mile was speechless, just watching his fellow villager who rejected him gradually go away.

The people in the car all had complicated expressions...

Rumble!

At this moment, the sound of a shell hitting the ground was heard not far away, causing the mountain to crack and earth and rocks to fly, creating a huge cloud of dust.

There was a scream in the carriage, and even Yao Mile couldn't help but shrink his head.

Everyone had already entered the battlefield without realizing it.

Many people in the vehicles behind began to get off one after another, and some trucks turned around and started running back.

Li Xiangnan withdrew his gaze from outside the car and looked towards the cockpit in front of the small car window.

The driver inside happened to see him and shouted, "President Yao, get in the car. I'll take you on your last journey! You must rescue our compatriots and help take back our land! Let's go!"

The truck started up with a rumble.

boom! Boom!

Countless shells landed on the ridges of the fields, exploded in the paddy fields, and burned the big trees on the roadside.

The car was moving forward under the gunfire.

Boom, boom!

Li Xiangnan turned his head and saw that several large trucks that had run away earlier turned back on the road, mixed with the large group, and tried their best to catch up with his three vehicles and rushed towards the border.

Squeak!

I don't know how many minutes we advanced in this battle, but then the sound of sudden brakes was heard.

A deafening roar came from the front.

"The land for the field hospital has been leveled for you. Please build the backup hospital today. Please!"

Hearing this, Yao Mile yelled, "Everyone get off the bus!"

Li Xiangnan jumped out of the truck first, and he and Wang Defa carried the stretcher and rushed in the direction the soldiers pointed.

But his footsteps stopped completely the moment he jumped out of the front of the truck.

In the busy base camp amidst the flames of war, you can still hear the sharp sound of bullets flying through the air.

But at this moment, Li Xiangnan did not have the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Instead, he called out the name he was most reluctant to call with a trembling voice: "Big Brother!"

Qin Huaihe turned around, his face full of surprise and disbelief, and his face turned pale instantly, "Xiangnan!? Why are you here?"
