The young soldier agreed without hesitation. He had already heard from his comrades about Xu Xinghe delivering cotton shoes, and he knew she was a good person who would never do anything bad.
After saying that, he immediately took the ointment and applied it to the frostbite.
It's cool and comfortable, but not cold.
The swelling and itching sensation was relieved a lot immediately.
After applying the ointment, the soldiers went to help shovel snow.
Time flies.
Before long, it got dark.
The light gray sky pressed down, inexplicably making people feel depressed.
A young soldier ran up quickly, his eyes shining as he looked at Xu Xinghe. "Comrade Xu, look!"
His voice was filled with barely suppressed joy as he held out his red, frostbitten fingers to her. The frostbite, which had been swollen and purple, had actually subsided by half, and a light yellow scab had formed on the cracks. Even the redness and swelling on his knuckles had faded considerably.
"It really doesn't hurt or itch anymore!" He moved his fingers. "I was able to work efficiently this afternoon!"
Xu Xinghe looked at the chilblains on his hands, which had obviously improved, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was slightly relieved. She smiled and said, "It's good that it's working. Remember to apply it again before going to bed tonight."
"Yes! I'll definitely remember!" The young soldier nodded repeatedly, his eyes overflowing with gratitude.
As Xu Xinghe followed the main force back to the military headquarters, his steps were heavy. He had been busy all day and felt exhausted.
As she said goodbye to Jiang Linchuan at the entrance of the courtyard, she yawned and spoke with a heavy sense of weariness, "I'm going back to rest now, you should get some rest too."
Jiang Linchuan looked at her red nose with heartache and reached out to tuck her scarf around her neck. "Okay, get some rest. If you're tired, don't come to help tomorrow."
Close the door.
Warmth enveloped my body.
Xu Xinghe sat on the stool, feeling like she didn't even have the strength to drag her clothes.
She didn't boil water, but simply wiped herself with cold water before quickly crawling into the quilt on the heated kang and falling into a deep sleep.
"Knock knock knock..."
A knock came at the door.
Xu Xinghe was awakened by the sound. When she opened her eyes, she realized that it was already dawn.
She put on her clothes and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was the same young soldier from yesterday.
"Comrade Xu... good morning." The young soldier felt embarrassed seeing that she had just woken up, so he took a step back to keep his distance. "I didn't mean to disturb you. The chilblains on my hands are almost healed. When I woke up today, there were only faint red marks left, and they didn't look much different from usual."
His face flushed, and his voice stammered as he pulled a few crumpled bills from his pocket. "I...I came to ask on behalf of my comrades, Comrade Xu, do you have any more medicine? They're quite worried because my frostbite is healing so quickly. The main problem is that disaster relief will take a long time, and if it gets damaged, I won't be able to work. This is what we've scraped together. Do you think it's enough to buy a few doses of medicine?"
Xu Xinghe looked at the small bills in his hand and couldn't help but laugh. They really were a lovely bunch.
"No need for money, I'll give you another bottle." She pretended to go inside to get the medicine. "I'll go back and tell them not to worry. Since it really works, I'll make more and bring it to you when I go to Hongxing Village later."
The young soldier was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by deep gratitude. They didn't actually have much money; they took their monthly allowances back to support their families. They had no worries about food and clothing at the military headquarters and rarely needed to spend money on anything.
"Really...really no money? Thank you so much! I'll go back and tell them right away!"
After saying this, he bowed deeply, turned around and left quickly, his steps much lighter than when he came.
Xu Xinghe closed the door, no longer wanting to sleep, and immediately entered the space to prepare more ointment.
However, the amount of beeswax in the space was limited, so only a few bottles were made.
She went to the hospital herself, found the hospital director, and asked for extra Vaseline.
This stuff is somewhat effective for frostbite, and with the addition of her medicinal herbs, the effect will definitely be even better.
When the dean heard that she had brought a large amount of supplies, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately had someone carry a big bucket to her and even personally helped deliver it to the courtyard.
After thanking her, Xu Xinghe closed the door and began making the ointment.
She entered the space and came to the herb that was half a person tall.
It grows very lushly, with thick, glossy green leaves that emit a unique fragrance when you get close.
To be precise, most of the medicinal herbs in the space smelled the same.
Xu Xinghe didn't understand medicine or the underlying principles. All she knew was that this medicinal herb probably didn't belong to her world.
It may be integrated with the space, both originating from a higher level.
If even I can be reborn, go back to the past, and obtain something as magical as a spatial ability, what else is impossible?
She would believe even if someone told her that ghosts and gods exist in this world.
Xu Xinghe took out scissors and cut off the leaves one by one, then crushed them and squeezed out the juice.
This medicine is very potent; only one part is needed. Dilute it with nine parts of spiritual spring water, and it becomes a clear, light green broth.
Xu Xinghe scooped out Vaseline, mixed it in, and slowly heated it, stirring it into a smooth paste before dispensing it into small bottles.
If you don't have enough bottles, wrap them in waterproof paper.
Anyway, it's cold outside, so there's no need to worry about it melting.
In just one hour, dozens of ointments had already been made.
She put her things in her backpack and hurried to Hongxing Village.
The young soldier, with his sharp eyes, spotted her immediately. He quickly stepped forward, rubbing his hand, which was mostly healed, and said, "Comrade Xu, um..."
"The ointment is right here," Xu Xinghe pointed to her backpack. "Is everyone here?"
"They're all here!" The young soldier excitedly led her to the work area, lowering his voice, "Comrade Xu, don't worry, I didn't tell too many people."
He was worried that Xu Xinghe's medicine wouldn't be enough.
Some people can use it, some people can't.
That could easily cause conflict, and even if no one says anything openly, some people will still feel dissatisfied.
So the young soldier only told those he was on good terms with, and didn't tell anyone else.
Xu Xinghe immediately saw his good intentions. "Don't worry, I brought enough medicine."
There was still more than half a basin of ointment in the room that hadn't been portioned out.
She did these things first so as not to waste time.
Moreover, you don't need a large amount each time; just a thin layer is enough. Even a small bottle is enough to last for a while.
Xu Xinghe tugged at her scarf to shield herself from the oncoming cold wind. In just a moment, she felt her teeth ache from the cold. "I brought enough medicine for everyone here. You'll come with me later. I need your hand as an example, okay? That way, I won't have to say anything, and they'll believe the ointment works."
