Chapter 85

“Yes, three of them. None of them are seriously injured; they're all wounded in the legs and hands.” The square-faced man who was in charge had already realized what had happened, counted the injuries, and breathed a sigh of relief. He was very fortunate that none of them had died this time.

"Come here, I'll apply the medicine for you." Fu Le took out iodine, cotton swabs, gauze, and tape from his small schoolbag.

The group of men stared intently as Fu Le pulled out a small flashlight, followed by medical supplies, from her bag. They swallowed hard, thinking, "Wow, this little girl has a treasure trove!"

Those busy little chubby hands, that plump face, those skillful movements—the combination just feels so incongruous.

Fu Le quickly bandaged up the three men, then handed two flashlights to the square-faced man, saying, "Go and collect the spoils; we're short of everything."

"Yes." After answering, the square-faced man realized that he had just responded as if he were obeying Master Chen's orders. Feeling a little embarrassed, he got up and left the two uninjured men to take care of the little girl while he led the others to collect the spoils.

This time, there were no surprises, and the Japanese soldiers below died a 'quick' death! Everyone returned with a full load, grinning from ear to ear.

After everyone gathered the supplies, they all huddled around Fu Le. "Little Ya Ya, what should we do with all this? Here are some leather bags, they're really good quality, do you want them?"

Do you know the address of the field hospital?

"I know, are you still going over?"

"certainly."

"Okay, I'll carry you on my back."

These men are tall and strong; they could easily carry a chubby girl weighing over 40 pounds.

The group of ten men followed Fu Le without missing a single one, each carrying a Type 38 rifle and magazines.

Ahead, Chen Yaozu was stunned when he learned that Fu Le had jumped down. He didn't understand why she had jumped. But the gunshots and grenade explosions that had been coming from behind had disappeared at some point. They didn't dare to turn around. They had to deliver this batch of medicine as soon as possible. As for the little girl, he could only say sorry.

The medicine arrived on time. After delivering the medicine, Chen Yaozu needed to rest for a day, but he was restless in his bedroom. He was worried that everyone would be gone, and he was also worried that something might happen to the little girl.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside, and several familiar voices could be heard.

Chen Yaozu got up and quickly went out, opened the door, and immediately saw familiar figures in the yard. Everyone was there, even Xiao Yaya.

"Uncle Chen, we're back! Hahahaha... Look, these are all spoils of war, all Xiao Yaya's. Xiao Yaya is amazing! Bang bang bang, one grenade after another, blowing all the Japanese devils to their deaths..." The square-faced man, Chen Bao, who was from the same village as Chen Yaozu and also surnamed Chen, spoke of Fu Le's great achievements with great enthusiasm and excitement.

The group went into Chen Yaozu's room and began to vividly recount the events of their journey, while Fu Le stayed in the courtyard, following the nurses and doctors to check on the injured.

At the same time, she was thinking about how to reasonably deliver her medicine to them.

"Nurse, will this field hospital stay here forever?" Fu Le followed the head nurse, who had been there to make sure Fu Le was alright before going to help take care of the patients.

"Not necessarily. We will go with the troops. This battle has been going on for several years. Cheng City has fallen. We estimate that we will be transferred soon. I know you are looking for your parents, but they are not here. I have never seen them. I'm sorry, little Yaya."

“Nurse, you don’t have to say that. It’s not your fault. Sister, Mom said you’re short of medicine and asked me to find a field hospital so I can donate a batch. Would it be convenient for you to come with me to pick it up?”

Nurse Li gasped in surprise, then paused for a moment before letting out a gasp. Even the wounded soldiers lying on the ground were taken aback by Fu Le's words, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at him. Was he going to bring them medicine?

How could such a young child be entrusted with such an important mission? Aren't you afraid she might make a mistake?

After informing the dean, the old carriage set off again. This time, only Fu Le and Chen Bao, along with the remaining six uninjured men, drove the carriage.

The medicine was hidden by Fu Le on his way back, under the pretense of going to the toilet. It was very well concealed and would not have been discovered even during the day.

Fu Le took out all the medicine that had been split up during this period, piled it up, and filled five large carts. There was no place for anyone to sit, so they had to walk. Of course, Fu Le did have a place to sit, and luckily it wasn't far, only a little over an hour round trip.

When they returned to the field hospital, everyone was astonished. Without exception, all the men were trembling with excitement, partly from the sheer amount of medical supplies, and partly from the fear they had encountered the Japanese and had stolen all the life-saving medicine. They were so tense at the slightest sign of trouble that they broke out in a cold sweat. Dozens of barrels of pills and so many packets of powder—how many soldiers could this save?!

Such a huge investment!! What do Xiaoya's parents do? How do they have so much power?!

This is the sentiment of everyone.

Fu Le was taken to the dean's office, to a middle-aged doctor who exuded righteousness, wore black-rimmed glasses, and had red-rimmed eyes.

"Fu Le, hello! On behalf of all the doctors and nurses at the field hospital, I thank you and your family for your donation. Thank you!!" Three doctors and eleven nurses bowed to Fu Le in unison. Fu Le almost jumped up on the spot, running around the room like a headless fly, unable to escape. Who told her to stand in the middle?!

Head Nurse Li was the first to notice that Xiao Yaya was about to cry because of their actions, and quickly spoke up, "Director, Xiao Yaya is about to cry!"

"Hey, don't cry, don't cry, little hero, please don't cry..." Dean Qian stepped forward, squatted down, and picked up Fu Le. The chubby feeling of his hands and the tears in his eyes made the dean feel like he was bullying a child. "Lele, your uncles, aunts, and uncles just wanted to thank you and your family. We didn't mean anything else. Please don't cry, okay?"

"But Mom said that the soldiers, doctors, and aunties are the real heroes who protect our country. We are all Chinese, and it's only right that we help each other. There's no need to thank them." The little girl's face was full of stubbornness. She hoped that everyone could get through this most difficult period and enjoy a prosperous and peaceful future!

“My dear girl, everyone who fights to protect our country, regardless of their status, is a hero. Just like your mother said, we are all Chinese, and it is our duty to protect our country. This is the mission of every Chinese person.” The dean’s eyes were red as he looked at the little girl in his arms, his chest filled with fervor. Such a young child already had such an understanding; her parents deserve immense credit. If all Chinese people were like this, how could China not prosper?

He believes that the difficulties are only temporary and that the future will be bright!

The sounds inside the room weren't loud, but they weren't soundproof either. Everyone could hear the conversation between the older and younger children. All of the more than one hundred wounded soldiers had tears in their eyes. Look, even such young children know how to strive for the country. What do they have to fear?

The soldiers, who were tormented by pain and ready to give up, gritted their teeth and made up their minds to survive.

They need to recover quickly so they can go back to the battlefield and fight the Japanese to the bitter end!
