Mu Huaixi was reborn to the day of her wedding, determined to fight the渣男 (scumbag) who was an alcoholic and abusive in her previous life, but was rescued by her military officer fiancé who arrived...
Ying Mingcheng's injury took more than a month to heal. After changing from short-sleeved shirts to long-sleeved shirts, he went out on another mission.
Mu Huaixi felt distressed, but had no choice but to stuff medicine into his luggage. He stuffed all kinds of medicine for injuries, anthelmintics, dysentery and diarrhea into his luggage, making the small cyst bulge so much that it almost burst.
Ying Mingcheng looked at her with a helpless smile. Seeing that her expression was unchanged, he quickly took her into his arms and said, "Don't worry, this time I'm just running errands. There's no danger at all."
Mu Huaixi glared at him fiercely.
How could there be no danger? The jungle itself was the biggest danger. There were unfamiliar poisonous plants, hidden snakes and insects, quietly rising miasma, all kinds of wild beasts, and even indigenous people who couldn't tell their side, like the white tiger boy she had met earlier.
Originally, she wanted to use the young man who could identify landmines for military use, but after delivering prey to the medical station several times, he disappeared into the vast rainforest. Everyone has their own aspirations, and there is no way to force him.
On the fifth day after Ying Mingcheng left, the weather suddenly turned cold.
After Mu Huaixi got up, she habitually wore a short-sleeved shirt. When she opened the door, a gust of wind gave her goose bumps. She turned around and put on a shirt, which barely kept her warm.
"Why is it so cold today?" Qin Wenlong walked in, holding up his clothes. In the past, he would have liked to be shirtless all the time. As soon as he came in, he looked towards Kang Wa. Seeing that Kang Wa was still wearing the same traditional costume, he couldn't help but be curious, "Teacher Kang, are you cold or hot?"
"It's not hot, nor is it cold," Kangwa said simply, looking up at the gray sky. "The weather is abnormal, so make preparations early."
Logically speaking, the winter here is warmer than the spring and summer in Shengjing, and the temperature after today's drop is also warmer than the autumn in Jiangcheng, but they were still sweating profusely yesterday, and when the wind blew this morning, the contrast and gap were so great that they felt cold.
The sky was gloomy all the time. In Kangwa's words, it was going to rain. At that time, Mu Huaixi didn't quite understand what rain meant, but after the rain lingered for a week and people were almost soaked by the rain, he realized that the so-called "rain" was a rainy season with no end in sight.
The rainy season makes everyone feel sluggish.
The small river in the woods behind the camp rose in water, forming a large muddy river. There were also many pieces of wood and stones in the river, which accumulated in a ditch not far from the camp. They were able to pick up a lot of them.
However, prey was scarce during the rainy season, and the soldiers, worried about the interruption of transportation and supplies, planned to store food, but they often harvested nothing after going out, and all they gained was depression.
The rain kept falling, and the sound of gunfire on the front line became much less, but the medical department still received several wounded soldiers every day. Some had injured their legs due to falls caused by the dampness, some were bitten by poisonous creatures in the rain, and more were injured by cold weapons such as knives, guns, and arrows.
Even though the rain kept falling, the war would not stop because of the rain. The moisture eroded the firearms, and traditional knives, bows and arrows, blowpipes, etc. came in handy. The dense forest shrouded in rain was an ideal ambush site. They had already received more than ten soldiers who were attacked in the rainforest.
The young man that Mu Huaixi was cleaning the wound with went to the woods to fetch water and was ambushed.
The other party was obviously cruel and ruthless. He jumped down from the tree behind him. If he had not heard the noise and rolled forward, he would have died in the woods. Now he was only injured in the thigh and abdomen, which was a blessing in disguise.
Because he had injured his internal organs, Mu Huaixi prescribed three sets of decoctions and acupuncture needles, fearing that he would suffer from sequelae in the future. Now there is a place for decocting medicinal soup in the camp, which is a ground fire stove built by Kangwa and his men with stones and red mud.
The body of the ground fire stove is deep underground, covered with iron plates and stone slabs on top, with the charcoal outlet and the air blast outlet separated. The inside is basically closed, which can ensure that the heat does not escape during combustion, and the burning smoke is discharged along the small chimney made of red mud and stones.
A mesh cover made of twisted iron wire was added to the chimney mouth to make the exhaust smoke thinner and prevent the location from being exposed by the smoke. This method was not thought of by Kangwa, but by the people who came to help in the camp. Because they needed to boil medicine, the camp also sent people to cut a lot of wood and bamboo and burn them into charcoal.
Thanks to such preparations, they were able to drink hot soup during the rainy season and prepare medicine for the wounded.
After Mu Huaixi finished bandaging her wound, Qin Wenlong dragged her out of the shed.
"do what?"
"Come with me and you will know," Qin Wenlong changed his decadent demeanor of the past few days, pulled her sleeve and walked out.
Mu Huaixi followed him for a while and found that they were heading towards the underground furnace, so she pulled him aside and asked him to wait, "I just got some medicine, wait for me to bring it over."
"Oh," Qin Wenlong was about to say something, but quickly closed his mouth and followed Mu Huaixi back to get the herbs.
Before reaching the ground fire stove, Mu Huaixi smelled a delicious aroma. Going further, he saw the figures of Kang Wa and logistics officer Li. They were squatting beside the stove, talking in front of two earthenware jars.
"Gathering mushrooms?" Mu Huaixi had also lived in the mountains before, so he immediately knew what was going on.
"I wanted to give you a surprise." Qin Wenlong was startled and glanced at her, but soon became excited again. "That's right, Lao Kang and I are going to the woods. Do you know what's going on?"
"Hey! Not only did I pick some delicious mushrooms, but I also found a dead pheasant. Just when I was worried about having nothing to eat, it just happened to be delivered to my door. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Mu Huaixi frowned. Before she could say anything, Qin Wenlong started to explain, "I checked. There are no extra wounds on the body. There is only a hole on the head. I'm afraid he got dizzy from the rain and hit himself on a rock."
This explanation is outrageous, but nature is full of outrageous things. My grandmother once said that she picked up two deer in the Shengjing forest. The two stupid creatures were fighting by the stream, their antlers got entangled together, and they fainted from hunger.
Although Qin Wenlong was not very reliable, Kangwa was definitely experienced. Mu Huaixi no longer hesitated and stepped forward to take the steaming hot mushroom chicken soup. One sip warmed her internal organs. It was fresh and fragrant, and swept away all her fatigue.
Officer Li next to him also drank two or three bowls before speaking to Mu Huaixi, "Doctor Mu, I have a favor to ask of you. I've been worried about logistics and transportation these past few days, and I haven't had a good night's sleep in five or six days. I heard you're great with acupuncture. Could you give me one so I can get some good sleep?"
Mu Huaixi then took a closer look at his face and saw that his pupils were dark and yellow, bloodshot, and there were obvious lines around his lips and nose. It was obvious that his liver was suffering from staying up late. "Acupuncture will definitely relieve it, but the needle has to be inserted into the top of the head. Can you accept it?"
"this--"
"How about a different method? I'll prescribe you two doses of medicine and boil them right here. Drink one at noon and another at night. I guarantee you'll have a good sleep tonight."
Officer Li looked at her in surprise, "What kind of medicine is so effective?"
"Suanzaoren Decoction", Mu Huaixi thought that Officer Li had found the right person. In the "Blood Bi Deficiency Disease, Pulse Symptoms and Treatment" in "Golden Chamber", it is said that "Suanzaoren Decoction is the main treatment for deficiency-induced restlessness, deficiency-induced fatigue and insomnia".
