Chapter 174 Using Well Water to Save Soldiers
The next day, Xue Dashan and his men moved to the villa next to the village chief.
The village chief even brought people to help clean up, but Xue Dashan and his companions embarrassedly refused.
After tidying up the house, Xue Dashan and his friends started weaving bamboo baskets and soon got along well with the village chief and his friends.
Xue Dashan's wife and other women searched nearby for edible food.
"Miss Gu, something bad has happened."
Zhang Guifen ran over with a basket, a little flustered on her face.
Thinking that something had happened again, Gu Luan and Jiang Xian came to Zhang Guifen.
"What happened?"
Could it be that someone is here to cause trouble again?
It turns out that this is not a suitable place to live. We must leave as soon as possible.
"There are several soldiers coming towards us."
Zhang Guifen said while panting.
She ran a long way to inform Gu Luan.
"Mrs. Zhang, I thought he was a bad guy."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the word "soldier" from Zhang Guifen.
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian walked towards the road leading into the village.
On the not-so-wide road, three soldiers in camouflage uniforms ran towards the village.
They were carrying three unconscious soldiers.
Seeing this scene, Gu Luan and Jiang Xian quickened their pace.
"Comrade, are you from the nearby villagers? My companion has suffered from heat stroke and is unconscious. I need to borrow your place to rest. I hope you can agree."
A dark-skinned young soldier, covered in sweat, asked Jiang Xian and Gu Luan anxiously.
"Take them there quickly."
Jiang Xian's brows sank and he spoke quickly.
After getting consent, the three soldiers carried their companions on their backs and ran towards the village.
Xue Dashan and the village chief ran out.
Gu Luan asked them to quickly clear out a room for the six soldiers to rest.
The village chief and his men did not dare to delay and cleared out the coolest place in the villa.
The three soldiers quickly put down their unconscious companion and took out the military water bottles they were carrying.
They wanted their companions to drink water, but found that there was not much water left in the kettle.
The three of them had red eyes and didn't know what to do.
These people were all young soldiers who had joined the army before the end of the world, and they were holding on with their perseverance and faith.
Over the past six months, they have seen countless companions fall, and they felt heartbroken and helpless.
Are they now going to watch their companions lose their lives?
“We have water here.”
Gu Luan walked in holding some water.
As soon as Jiang Xian entered the room, he began to check the condition of the three unconscious people.
"Aluan, first aid is needed."
Two of them were fine, but one had an extremely weak heartbeat that was almost unnoticeable.
Jiang Xian took off the soldier's clothes, Gu Luan handed him a wet towel, and Jiang Xian began to cool him down.
After handing over the towel, Gu Luan took out some cooling medicine and handed it to Jiang Xian.
The unconscious soldier had no way of taking medicine.
Jiang Xian could only pry his mouth open like he did to Zhang Guifen.
The conscious soldier took care of the two unconscious soldiers while looking anxiously at Gu Luan and Jiang Xian.
They knew that Gu Luan and Jiang Xian were saving their companions, and they were grateful and extremely lucky to meet them here.
The medicine seemed to have little effect. Jiang Xian turned around and looked at Gu Luan with something in his eyes.
“I’m not sure if it will work, I can only try.”
Seeing what he meant, Gu Luan whispered and took out a small cup of water and handed it to him.
"I hope it helps."
After taking the glass of water, Jiang Xian turned around and fed him.
Gu Luan stood further away for fear of blocking the air circulation.
What she gave Jiang Xian was a small half cup of well water. The medicine didn't work, so she could only try the well water.
Since Huihui was able to be saved by the well water when he was dying, it must have been useful.
Well water is precious, and she would never give it to ordinary people. She is even reluctant to irrigate the plants in the space.
Although there seemed to be a well of water, who knew if it would be finished one day, and she was afraid of wasting it.
However, she is willing to give a little to these soldiers who have sacrificed so much for the people.
Saving one person may lead to him saving countless people.
Deep in her memory, she remembers every single thing.
That is, she was rescued by these soldiers more than once.
Therefore, deep in her heart, she has an indescribable admiration for these selfless and dedicated military comrades.
Perhaps it was because of this that she was so easily moved by Jiang Xian.
After Jiang Xian finished feeding the well water, he stood aside with the cup, observing the situation.
Slowly, the soldier, whose heartbeat was originally very slow, began to breathe more steadily, and Jiang Xian finally smiled.
He turned around and looked at Gu Luan, his deep and boundless eyes were brighter than the stars.
Gu Luan also smiled because they saved the people who should be saved.
"Thank you. Thank you."
The three soldiers choked with tears as they thanked Gu Luan and Jiang Xian and saluted them.
Jiang Xian responded with a standard salute.
Only then did the three of them realize that Jiang Xian might be their companion.
"Are you a soldier too?"
The dark-skinned soldier showed his white teeth, and his tone was much more intimate than before.
"I used to be, but later I retired from the army."
Jiang Xian said with a smile.
He does not regret retiring from the army. Being able to help more people with Gu Luan is more meaningful than being a soldier.
The three soldiers nodded and did not mention the matter again.
"This is the only food we have left. Can we use it as your medicine expenses?"
One of the soldiers took out a few bags of self-heating rice and handed them to Gu Luan.
They know how precious medicine and water are in these last days.
The man and woman in front of them were just ordinary people. In order to give such precious medicine and water to their companions, they had to use supplies to offset the cost.
"Need not."
Jiang Xian shook his head to refuse and pushed the self-heating rice in front of them.
"We can't take advantage of the people. That's what our company commander said."
The three soldiers spoke in a firm tone and were unwilling to take back the self-heating rice.
Jiang Xian frowned. He understood the rules of the army because he used to be such a person.
Gu Luan looked at the three young faces, who were only in their early twenties and looked younger than her.
Gu Luan sighed and took two boxes of self-heating rice. "Two boxes are enough to cover the value of the medicine."
The three wanted to say something, but Gu Luan and Jiang Xian had already walked out, not giving them a chance to speak.
"have a good rest."
Jiang Xian turned around and spoke in a deep voice with a firm tone.
"yes!"
The three of them saluted subconsciously in response.
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian walked out of the room and stood under the eaves.
"They should be soldiers from the Anshi base."
Jiang Xian said calmly, looking through the glass at the three soldiers who were taking care of their companions.
"Well, I just don't know how they got here?"
Not only did they appear here, but three people also suffered from heatstroke.
Looking at the heat stroke, it’s obvious that they were exposed to extreme heat for a long time, otherwise it wouldn’t be so serious.
"Let someone make some mung bean soup for them."
After Gu Luan finished speaking, he walked towards Aunt Ma and the others.
More than an hour later.
Aunt Ma walked into the room carrying a pot, and a woman followed her with a bowl.
In the room, two young soldiers who had suffered mild heatstroke had woken up.
Only the one with the most serious condition was still in a coma.
"It was our fellow villagers who saved us. We will go and thank them later."
The two people who woke up were full of gratitude and couldn't wait to get out of bed.
