Chapter 59
When Xu Wen arrived at the beach, it was chaos
But it was orderly chaos
The men of the Health Company were busy rescuing the seriously ill
Cadres from Lu Yuanzheng Shi Lei to the squad leaders were busy arranging the wounded despite their own injuries
Serious patients are handed over to the health company, light cases to help in the treatment of stung wounds and help back to the door of the room to rest
The first thing to do when stung by a jellyfish is to clean the wound with seawater
So the scene is a group of sea soul shirts early in the morning collective bathing in the sea, a batch of ashore and then replaced by the next batch
Xu Wen ran to Lu Yuanzheng, and without saying a word, pulled up the hem of his clothes and lifted it upwards
Lu Yuanzheng was busy pulling her hand, stopping: “Daughter-in-law, there are so many people here! Go home and take it off again”
Xu asked: “”
The eyes are red
Just one glance and she saw it
Lu Yuanzheng’s body was more or less the same as the one in the TV series that was severely tortured and covered in whip marks
The swollen red marks were shocking to look at
“Don’t cry, I’m fine I’m used to it!”
Xu Wen stared at him with tears in her eyes, “Is this something you can get used to?”
Lu Yuanzheng rubbed his nose, but it really wasn’t the right time to coax Xu Man, so he could only sigh softly and discuss with Xu Man, “I’ll talk about my business at home later! You can help apply medicine to them first There are a few seriously ill patients, I’ll go see how I can transfer them”
There were only a few war boats on the island, and they were usually hidden on the island, so they couldn’t care less at the moment, they had to go out and transfer the wounded first
The problem was that land was too far away and it would take a day to get back, which would be a delay
The best way was to transport them to the regimental headquarters
The island where the regiment’s headquarters was located was less than twenty kilometers from here, so it was relatively quicker, and they could also borrow some medicine
Xu Man nodded, it was useless for her to worry, as long as Lu Yuanzheng didn’t die from the pain, he definitely wouldn’t stop to heal
Love for their children was never the first thing on their mind
She helped to clean the wounds and apply medication to the patients who had just finished flushing with seawater
Unfortunately for them, this was not the first time they had been stung by jellyfish, and the health company had prepared quite a lot of emergency medicines, at least for the moderate cases
For minor cases, they had to make do on their own
It took half a morning for the injured soldiers to settle down
Shi Lei followed the ship to the regiment headquarters, and Lu Yuanzheng had to be busy arranging the changing of guard posts
Usually they changed their guards once every four hours, but because of this accident, some of them had already stood for six hours
Standing under the sun in full armor on a hot day was really hard
And even their logistics are fully trained
As a result, they could only let some of the people with milder poisoning symptoms to change guard
Even Lu Yuanzheng took the lead and replaced a post
It was already two in the afternoon when he returned to the tent
Dongsheng was napping, Xu Man couldn’t sleep sitting on a chair waiting for Lu Yuanzheng, and stood up when he saw him come in
Lu Yuanzheng’s face obviously didn’t look too good, and opened his arms to hug Xu Man, only to hiss in pain and stand up straight again
“Take off your clothes!” Xu Man frowned
“It’s not too good in the middle of the day, is it?” Lu Yuanzheng joked
Xu Man didn’t say anything and glared at him
Lu Yuanzheng rubbed his nose and honestly took off his shirt
Xu Man sucked in a breath
Lu Yuanzheng’s chest and back, including his arms, were crisscrossed with red marks, painful to look at
“Don’t cry! I’m really fine! I’ve been stung a few times before, so I’m really used to it!”
Xu Man ignored him
I’m afraid she wouldn’t be able to get used to this kind of thing even if she was stung a few times
She pressed Lu Yuanzheng into a chair and saw him frowning
“Is it on your butt too?”
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “That can’t be!”
“You take off your pants too!”
“Daughter-in-law, in broad daylight also earlier you wait for the night ”
“Lu Yuanzheng!”
Seeing Xu asked really angry, Lu Yuanzheng honestly took off his pants
From the collarbone to the calf, none of the body was spared
Xu Wen bit her lower lip, raised and lowered her hand, and finally just sighed softly as she took medicine from the table and applied it to him
This medicine was also transferred back from another island
Xu Man’s movements were very light, about afraid of him hurting, gently blowing while applying the medicine
There would have been a burning stinging and itching sensation at the wound, and by her blowing on it like this, it did soothe it quite a bit
But, there would also be other sensations that would grow
It just so happened that Xu Wen’s medicine went up to his waistline, and further down was
Lu Yuanzheng coughed lightly and turned around to grab her hand, “I’ll do the rest myself”
Xu Wen raised an eyebrow and asked him, “Are you sure you can get there?”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded without hesitation, “Can”
Can’t must also be able
He would be shy as well!
Xu Wen was also shy, but he didn’t force himself, letting go of his hand to give him the ointment, turning his back and estimating that he had finished applying the “dangerous” areas before turning back to him to apply the medicine
Lu Yuanzheng did not apply the medicine as gently and carefully as Xu asked, and he wiped it all over the place
Xu asked and frowned, snatching the bottle of medicine from his hands and applying it to his arms and legs
This time, there was no need to blow, so Xu Man chatted with Lu Yuanzheng while applying the medicine
“What happened today?”
“I swam upstream five kilometers early and happened to run into a swarm of jellyfish”
“Have you met them often before?”
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “Not really Usually when you have to swim five kilometers you will get off the boat to explore the road But marine animals can move, so maybe they weren’t there when they went exploring and came back just in time I’ve seen it a few times before In fact, like today is not bad After all, it is only training, can also be brought back collectively to rest a little
If you catch up with the war, then the pain can only be endured, as long as it’s not unconscious, grit your teeth and also have to go on”
“Then have you guys ever met anyone who ran into a jellyfish while fighting?”
Lu Yuanzheng looked down at Xu Qin’s face and saw that she was quite calm and hesitated and nodded: “Uh-huh”
Then he got a heavy poke at his wound, causing him to suck in a breath of pain
Xu asked busy apologizing, “Sorry”
Not controlling the force
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head and took her hand, “Xu Man, I’ll try to protect myself in the future”
Try not to let you worry
Xu Wen withdrew her hand to finish applying the last part of the wound to him, pointing to the bed, “Busy work until now take a rest, right? Can you rest like this?”
“Can This medicine works quite well, it will be fine after a while”
“Okay, then you rest!”
Seeing Xu Wen finish and head out, Lu Yuanzheng called out to her, “Where are you going?”
“To avenge you!”
When dinner started in the evening, everyone realized that there was an extra cold dish
“Squad Leader Zhang, what kind of day is it today that we have an extra meal?”
“Isn’t it because the big guys are injured? Lu Battalion’s sister-in-law made a dish for everyone, saying it’s a consolation for the wounded, so you guys try it to see if it tastes good”
“What is this? Why does it look like the cold noodles from my hometown?”
“Your two eyeballs are quick to pick out and throw it!”
“This wouldn’t be a jellyfish, would it?”
“Sister-in-law is really talented!” They all especially hate jellyfish, usually won’t eat it at all, and the cooking class won’t make it
Who would like jellyfish that stung them?
Hearing those two words made their scalps numb
Squad Leader Zhang waved his spoon and grunted, “Are you really doing this for you guys? Other people’s sister-in-law is heartbroken for Lu Ying and said that she would avenge Lu Ying, so you guys got the glory!”
“Revenge?”
“Yes! Sister-in-law said that if the jellyfish stung you, she would eat them to avenge you!”
The crowd laughed
“Sister-in-law is right!”
“That’s right! If they dare to sting us, we’ll eat them!”
“No wonder I saw my sister-in-law borrow the Sanitation Company’s lifeboat and go down to the sea with Dongsheng after we all went ashore in the morning! So they went to fish for jellyfish? ”
“Don’t say that! Lu Yingjia’s sister-in-law is really amazing! I’ve never seen her so beautiful except in movies She’s not only pretty, she’s also very talented I was delivering documents to Camp Lu yesterday, and once I entered the tent, it was really cool I heard that your sister-in-law made it all by herself”
“Indeed A college student from a prestigious university, following us to this deserted island in the middle of nowhere Alas! My family is not willing to come here for nothing”
“Don’t just compare your wife to Lu Ying’s sister-in-law! You can’t compare her to Lu Ying! She’s also a graduate of the military academy! In terms of strategy and skill, what is Lu Ying not?” The soldier who spoke gave a thumbs up
“That’s true But the instructor’s position isn’t lower than Lu Battalion’s ah! Instructor is also a military school graduate, but his sister-in-law ”
“Hush leader’s matter is you can discuss it? Beware of the instructor hearing and chipping you!”
Shi Lei outside the cafeteria door, “”
He grunted lightly and whitened Lu Yuanzheng beside him without any good humor, “Smile smile smile! The corners of your mouth are cracked to your temples! What are you so smug about? Did people compliment you?”
“I’m happy when I compliment my daughter-in-law!” Lu Yuanzheng revealed a mouthful of white teeth, “Besides, if you guys don’t compliment me, my daughter-in-law’s revenge for me still doesn’t make me happy?”
Shi Lei, who was speechless, gave a short heckle and took the lead in opening the door curtain to enter the cafeteria
They came late, there was no food!
Including the cold jellyfish skin
Shi Lei was instantly happy, “Ha! Isn’t it revenge for you? Did you get to eat the ‘enemy’?”
Lu Yuanzheng was also a little bit regretful, but he did not show it on his face, “It’s revenge even if I can’t eat it! On the contrary, you are an instructor, with a snarky face, is it appropriate?”
Shi Lei: “”
“You’re the one who’s snarky!”
Zhang squad leader heard the commotion, ran out and saw that it was the two of them, busy saying, “Battalion commander, instructor, you came ah! Sister-in-law said to let you guys eat at home”
Lu Yuanzheng proudly raised his eyebrows towards Shi Lei, “I’m going home for dinner, goodbye to you na!”
Shi Lei thought about it and followed
Lu Yuanzheng glanced back at him, “I’m going home for dinner what are you following for?”
“Didn’t you hear what Old Zhang said about ‘you guys’? Sister-in-law invited me too!”
“Old Shi, we’ve known each other for a few years now, why didn’t I know you were so cheeky before?”
Shi Lei hummed, “I didn’t know you were so lucky before! Finding a daughter-in-law with a higher prestige in the battalion than you! It’s really like going up to the hall and down to the kitchen!”
As they talked, they arrived at Lu Yuanzheng’s tent
As soon as he entered the tent, he saw three dishes and one soup on the table, one of which was the cold jellyfish skin
“Yell! What day is it today, sister-in-law? Why have you prepared so many dishes?”
Xu Wen saw them coming and got up, “No! It’s just that I caught some fish or something while fishing for jellyfish It’s just that the quantity is a bit small, not enough for everyone to eat, so I’m just being selfish and making a small stove”
“That’s not selfish! Families can have small stoves, they just don’t have the conditions for it yet Sister-in-law, you’re too kind!”
When everyone was seated, Xu asked to clarify his confusion, “As far as I know, jellyfish usually come out in groups in July and August, isn’t it a little early now?”
Lu Yuanzheng and Shi Lei looked at each other
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “Nine times out of ten, it’s man-made Everyone is injured today, and I’m afraid that the island will have bad guests at night”
Shi Lei had a bit of a headache, “That’s a real pain in the ass!”
Xu Man thought for a moment, “I do have a solution, but it can only be used as an emergency”
At night Xu Man was awakened by the sound of gunshots, reaching out to touch, sure enough, Lu Yuanzheng was no longer in bed
Dongsheng also woke up, crawling onto the big bed and hugging Xu Man
Xu Man thought he was scared and hugged him back, and was about to comfort him when he heard Dongsheng speak in a tone like a young adult, “Don’t be afraid, Ma Ma! I’ll protect you!”
Xu Man’s heart warmed, “Uh, thank you Dongsheng”
She actually wasn’t really scared, she was just startled
With so many reliable people out there, they would definitely be safe unless the enemy raised their country to attack
It was the trust in Lu Yuanzheng and the trust in that green uniform
Sure enough, after a few gunshots, the island returned to silence
Dongsheng had already fallen asleep like nothing, Xu Man carried him to the cot and lifted the tent door himself
The sea breeze was not as hot as during the day
The searchlights of the island’s guard post hit the sea surface, and the neighborhood was bright
The entire camp remained quiet, not a single family member shouted in panic, to say calm rather than habitual
After a while, Lu Yuanzheng came running from the distance, saw Xu Man and sighed in relief, softly asking her, “Scared?”
Xu Wen shook her head and looked him up and down, “You’re not hurt, right?”
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, holding her hand as he walked to the tent, “Thanks to you, we had zero casualties Also took two prisoners and captured a boat”
“The gunfire was?”
“They jumped ship to escape, just a warning”
Xu Man then breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lu Yuanzheng back to his tent
Lu Yuanzheng took off his jacket
Xu Man fetched a basin of water and placed clean towels in the water on the basin stand
Lu Yuanzheng washed his face and wiped the sweat off his body
Xu Wen walked will behind the cloth curtain, really frankly, both people would be shy
“Your method does work!” Lu Yuanzheng was happy when he remembered the miserable state of those few people, “Putting down the head-bashing few directly saved us a lot of trouble”
Xu Wen sighed softly, “This can’t be used for a long time! It can only be used once or twice”
Her method was simple and crude was to electrify the wire
Previously, Lu Yuanzheng and the others had applied for barbed wire to surround the island, and a portion of it arrived yesterday
Because the quantity was still a bit short, plus it wasn’t empty yet either, it hadn’t been erected yet
Today, Xu Man saw that everyone was injured and proposed to temporarily stop the second barbed wire first
The height of the wire doesn’t have to be too high, the highest part has to be supported by the hand in order to pass easily, and the lowest part has to be lifted up a bit with the hand if the person drills
Lu Yuanzheng did some calculations, “In that case, the wire we have now is enough to circle the island twice”
“What can this do?” Shi Lei frowned, this couldn’t even defend an ordinary person
“Yes, a single two wires definitely can’t prevent people Then, what if it’s electrified?”
“Huh?”
This was something Xu asked after half a day’s thought, she had asked the Magic Mirror, which told her that jellyfish shouldn’t be swarming out in groups this season
Xu Man then guessed that nine times out of ten it was man-made
The purpose was to weaken the island’s fighting force
Xu Man thought of electrifying the wire
Such a crude method would not work in any other place, but it would work on this island
There are no ordinary people on this island, only the soldiers and officers who are forbidden to do anything, as well as a few family members
The officers and soldiers will never touch the wire under one order
Sister-in-laws who can stay on the island to say half of the soldiers is not an exaggeration, told not to go out can also certainly do
This way, in addition to the sentry, most people can rest peacefully, even if someone raids will be electrocuted, not dead or injured
Lu Yuanzheng discussed with Shi Lei and thought it was feasible, so he arranged for the people from the cooking class to help set up the wire
Because they are the few non-injured people on the island
A few of his sisters-in-law came along to help, and Dongsheng and Xu Wen also joined them
After the lights went out at night, Lu Yuanzheng and the others electrified the wire
The wire was pulled loosely, the first person on the island really did not take it seriously, reached out and touched it, and was electrocuted on the spot
The back of the people subconsciously to pull him, also was electrocuted straight shivering
Fear of accidental injury, Lu Yuanzheng they deliberately lowered the current, not to the kind of life
When he was suddenly electrocuted, he let out a shriek
At the same time, he startled his own people and the sentry
The sentry cut off the electricity and blew his whistle to signal the police
The warriors of the light disease immediately chased after them
They missed their boat, forcing them to jump into the sea to escape
The two that were electrocuted, were numb and said they couldn’t escape, they could only be captured
“Gotta speed up construction on the island! Defense must also be built earlier Starting tomorrow, we’ll divide the work, you’ll build the houses, and I’ll lead the people to set up the defenses We can’t always be so passive!”
Shi Lei nodded, “Uh-huh But we are defending the island, this word “defend” predetermines our position I know you like to charge into battle, but you have to adapt to this change in territory”
Lu Yuanzheng didn’t refute, “Well, I can count on it”
I don’t know if Xu Man’s electric barbed wire played a deterrent role, but for the next period of time, the island was calm
Everyone divided up the work and did their own thing
Rows and rows of brand new wooden houses were built, and boatloads of supplies were transported to the island
Xu Wen and their families were also not idle, helping the soldiers in the cooking class to clear the land
The supply ship only came once every few days Meat and other things were okay to store because Xu Man had gotten a simple refrigerator
But the vegetables could not, they were easy to spoil
So the battalion called on the cooking squad to be self-sufficient
Cooking leisure time door, they little by little opened up the grain area, vegetable area, fruit and vegetable area, as well as poultry and livestock breeding area
Chickens, ducks, sheep, and cows were all shipped over
Xu Wen rarely did hard labor, not that she was delicate, but she was always assigned some difficult work
Even recently, there was a new occupation, kindergarten teacher
