Chapter 408 General's Mansion, Military Hospital
The off-road vehicle was moving very fast. Wei Chengyi and his men set out at Chenshi and arrived at Dafeng County, one of the three border counties, at around Sishi. Dafeng County was located between Daping County and Dalin County, and the central military camp was set up here. The border wall had been completed long ago, and there were gates left on the inner wall. The soldiers lived in the hollow wall and did not have to camp outside and endure the harassment of the cold wind.
“Ding ding!”
"It's the Second Master and the others."
More than twenty off-road vehicles came closer and closer. The generals defending the city recognized that the vehicle in front was driven by Wei Chengyi himself. They shouted loudly and the soldiers stepped aside, standing on both sides of the city gate to greet them respectfully.
The off-road vehicle drove directly into the city without any pause, and finally drove into a brand new house. It was the general's mansion that they specially ordered to be built. Originally, they planned to requisition the county government office, but considering that officials still had to deal with government affairs and some military secrets were not suitable for too many people to know, they built a general's mansion separately.
The general's mansion covers a large area, but its construction style is very simple. There is a huge courtyard at the entrance, with a row of five blue brick and tile houses, each of which is huge and spacious. Except for the meeting hall in the middle used for discussing official matters, the others are used for living. There are two rows of side rooms on the left and right, a total of twenty rooms, which are prepared for the guards who protect Wei Chengyi and others at any time.
There is a huge yard at the back, with many houses built around it, so it is no problem to accommodate two or three hundred people.
"Second Master, Madam!"
The car was parked steadily in the yard in front. Qingying and Yan Lang, who had been stationed in Dafeng County for a long time, came to greet them. As for the other generals, they were still training their soldiers at this time.
"Um."
Nodding, Wei Chengyi took Shen Xiangwan by the hand and looked at the medical children who had already gotten off the car: "Qingying, find someone to take them to the military hospital."
"good."
"Brother Yi, father."
As soon as Qingying finished speaking, Mu Yunran came over and said, "I'll live near the military hospital too, so I don't have to run back and forth every day."
It doesn't matter before the battle starts, but once the battle starts, the military hospital will inevitably become busy, and it will be a waste of time for her to run around like this.
Wei Chengyi frowned slightly and did not agree immediately. Shen Xiangwan looked back and forth at them, let go of his hand and said, "You discuss the business with Uncle Yan and the others first. Yun Ran and I will go to the military hospital and take a look at the accommodation conditions there. If it's okay, let her stay there."
"Um."
Since his wife has spoken, Wei Chengyi will naturally not object.
"Let's go."
Giving Mu Yunran a reassuring look, Shen Xiangwan took Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying onto the off-road vehicle again. Qingying also called a soldier and asked him to take them to the military hospital in Shen Xiangwan's car.
Originally, Shen Xiangwan thought that the area of the general's mansion was large enough, but unexpectedly, the military hospital was even larger, and the roof here used a lot of glass tiles, and each room was very bright. Like the general's mansion, the military hospital was also newly built, and the style was also very simple. Apart from the courtyard, there were rows of wards, and the wards were filled with wooden beds.
"lady?!"
Seeing them enter the military hospital, several military doctors were stunned, and quickly recognized Shen Xiangwan's identity. They quickly stood up and greeted them: "Greetings, Madam!"
"Greetings, Madam!"
Seeing this, the military doctors and boys who had never seen Shen Xiangwan did not dare to hesitate any longer and stood up to greet her respectfully. Even though she had only appeared in the military camp during the battle with the Western Hu people last year, all 400,000 soldiers had heard the legend about her. With the deliberate connivance of Wei Chengyi and others, she was almost deified. Everyone was curious and in awe of her from the bottom of their hearts.
"No need to be so polite, could you please find someone to accompany me around the military hospital?"
Waving his hand to let them off the hook, Shen Xiangwan had a proper smile on his face.
"Let me take my wife for a walk."
Afraid that others might offend her, the chief of the military hospital, Zhou Quan, took the initiative to step forward. He was already in his fifties and looked very capable, not like an elderly man at all.
"Thank you."
Shen Xiangwan had come into contact with him last year, so naturally she knew him.
"I dare not, ma'am, please!"
Turning sideways, Zhou Quan made a gesture of invitation. Shen Xiangwan did not bother to be polite with him and led everyone into the military hospital. In addition to the wards, there were also special operating rooms, with a total of dozens of rooms. Each room was not large, but had all the necessary facilities. The operating bed was also specially made by a carpenter, and the design came from Mu Yunran. She did not stay in the military camp for several months last year for nothing.
"Yes, there are operating rooms all up ahead. The wounded can be treated immediately after being brought in."
Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but nod frequently. They really did a great job. In this era, being able to build such a military hospital was already very good.
"Madam, we are still discussing whether to set aside an area specifically for treating seriously injured patients. What do you think?"
The matter remained unresolved. Most military doctors felt it was unnecessary, but Zhou Quan was adamant. While it might not be necessary at the moment, when the situation really got busy, how could they distinguish which soldiers were most seriously injured? If a dedicated area for treating the seriously injured could be set up, the seriously injured could be sent there directly, and they could receive immediate treatment.
"Sure. We'll pick out military doctors with better medical skills to specifically treat the seriously injured."
Shen Xiangwan chose to support without much thought. She still couldn't forget that day when she was too busy and caused many seriously injured soldiers to die while waiting. If there was a special area for seriously injured people, some of the medicine boys who could not be operated on or had less skills could be separated to give blood transfusions or some simple bandages when they were too busy. This would undoubtedly save more lives.
"I'll make the arrangements later."
With her support, Zhou Quan no longer worried about other people's opposition. When he took Chen Xiangwan and the others on a tour, he was smiling the whole time. Everyone could see that he was in a very comfortable mood.
With Shen Xiangwan's support, Mu Yunran still lived with the medical children in the yard near the military hospital. Wei Chengyi and Yan Lang had no choice but to acquiesce.
In the following days, Wei Chengyi was either inspecting the army's training or discussing various strategies against the enemy with the generals. Shen Xiangwan was still the same as at home, sleeping almost all morning and going to the military hospital in the afternoon to personally teach the military doctors more surgical skills. He also took out the medicine he made for repairing bone and nerve injuries and asked them to keep it carefully so that they could use it for soldiers with disabled hands and feet in the future.
"Chengyi, good morning!"
That day, it was already noon when Shen Xiangwan got up from the bed yawning, and it seemed that he could not open his eyes.
Wei Chengyi sat beside her bed and touched her face worriedly: "Why haven't you woken up yet? Haven't we been going to bed early these days? Are you feeling unwell?"
It seemed like she'd been sleeping in later and later since arriving in Dafeng County. Although she'd always been a sleeper, it used to be because she'd been sleeping late at night and couldn't get up in the morning. But lately, they weren't sleeping late, so why was she waking up even later? Could she be sick?
