The further south you go, the warmer it gets.
When Mu Huaixi got off the bus with the main group, he had already changed his shirt into short-sleeved shirts and shorts. Only the team from Jiangcheng Military Hospital was wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts.
She stood at the end of the team, looking around curiously. They were now in a clearing in the forest. Not far away, a dark cloud was lingering over the bushes, making a buzzing sound.
Someone grabbed her arm and sighed in disgust, "So many bugs!"
"You know there are so many bugs, but you're still wearing short-sleeved shirts?" The male doctor next to him rolled his eyes. "We have to wear long shirts and long sleeves and tuck in our cuffs and trouser legs before we can go into the woods."
"You don't understand," said Ai Taoyu, who was training with Mu Huaixi. She was a hot-tempered girl who would fight back even when someone was talking to her. She picked up the sachet hanging around her waist and showed it off, "This is an insect repellent sachet made by my doctor, Mu. It works amazingly!"
There were a lot of insects along the way, especially the vicious autumn mosquitoes, which would bite people when they were not paying attention. Thanks to Mu Huaixi's insect repellent sachet, they did not suffer much along the way.
Previously, Ai Taoyu thought that using traditional Chinese medicine as a battlefield military doctor was like using a rabbit as a yak - a mess, but now she thinks it's really great!
Please forgive their previous shallowness. After all, in the traditional impression, Chinese medicine is about prescribing prescriptions and boiling medicine. I really can't imagine that there is a situation where the battle is fierce in the front while people in the back are leisurely fanning and boiling medicine.
But during the training, Ai Taoyu and her companions found that Mu Huaixi was no worse than them, the doctors who had received specialized training, in treating common battlefield injuries such as trauma and bone injuries. He also had a unique understanding of diseases unique to the southwestern rainforest, such as snake venom and miasma.
Not to mention she also makes insect repellent sachets for everyone!
Mu Huaixi felt embarrassed by Ai Taoyu's praise. Facing the sudden attention of the people next to him, he tugged at Ai Taoyu's sleeve and said, "Hey, Xiao Ai, this insect repellent sachet may not be effective. Besides, there are so many plants here, and there might be snakes hiding among the grass and trees. We should still wear long pants and tie up the legs tightly, just like the doctor said."
"Indeed, thank you for your reminder." Ai Taoyu understood her eyes and hurriedly thanked the doctor, then quickly pulled her to catch up with the assigned team, thus avoiding some conflicts.
Mu Huaixi breathed a sigh of relief, only to see Ai Taoyu raising her eyebrows at him proudly, "Xiao Mu, I'm smart, otherwise I would have to give them sachets!"
"......" Mu Huaixi didn't mean that, but what Ai Taoyu said was right. She showed off so much just now that everyone around her looked at her. Even if she had prepared a lot of insect repellent, she didn't want them to be divided up as soon as she arrived here.
Including the ten people from Jiangcheng Military Region Hospital, there were more than 30 doctors and nurses in total. Also coming with them were people from logistics departments such as transportation and supplies, totaling more than 500 people.
After the mobilization meeting in the open space, these more than 500 people were divided into different locations.
Mu Huaixi, Ai Taoyu and Lu Yong were assigned to the military medical clinic in area 2205. They took their luggage and got on another small military truck.
The small army car was swaying on the mountain road. Some people got off the car and some got on. When they finally reached the end, there were only three of them left.
"No way? We are really at the edge..." Ai Taoyu looked at the dark forest outside the car, swallowed unconsciously, and grabbed Mu Huaixi's arm tightly.
Mu Huaixi patted her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, isn't there light?"
Through the gaps in the truck's fenders and the lush greenery, a faint yellow light could be seen. Ai Taoyu became even more worried. "No way? I have to walk a long way after getting off the truck?"
After being in the car for so long, she was already hot and tired, and her whole body was almost soaked with sweat. The thought of having to drag her luggage up the mountain in the dark made her heart collapse and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hurry, hurry, get off the train, we still have things to move!" Before anyone showed up, the urging voice came in along with the sound of knocking on the carriage.
Ai Taoyu was already in a bad mood, and she retorted rudely, "Why are you rushing me?"
Mu Huaixi helped her carry a bag of luggage, and Lu Yong picked up another large bag. This made Ai Taoyu feel embarrassed. She quickly pressed her churning stomach and got out of the car.
Two men in camouflage short-sleeved shirts were standing outside the car. One looked about the same age as Mu Huaixi, and the other was about forty years old. Both of them had oil paint on their faces, which looked a bit weird in the dim light.
"They are really little girls, huh? And two of them," the young man muttered as he glanced at her and Ai Taoyu.
Ai Taoyu immediately raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"He meant that a nurse finally came to help," the older one rubbed his eyebrows and wanted to help explain, but unexpectedly said the wrong thing.
Ai Taoyu snorted unceremoniously, "I'm sorry, we are both doctors, and Lu Yong is the nurse."
Lu Yong was not a professional, but he had extensive on-site experience, and his physical fitness was no worse than that of ordinary soldiers. Perhaps it was because of this that the three of them were grouped together.
"Is this true?"
The young man wanted to say more, but was interrupted by the driver who jumped out of the driver's seat. "You know each other? Are you catching up? Why don't you move your things?"
This trip was to transport both goods and people. The supplies in the carriage were obviously more attractive than these newcomers. The two men in camouflage uniforms immediately followed the driver and climbed onto the carriage.
Lu Yong stopped Mu Huaixi and the other man who also wanted to help, and smiled very honestly, "How about you two help me carry the luggage over, and I'll go help?"
Lu Yong actually only brought a small package. He said this obviously because he wanted the two of them to find a place to rest as soon as possible. Mu Huaixi accepted his favor, and since she was really tired after sitting in the car for such a long time, she took his small package and took Ai Taoyu to the lights.
The dirt road was difficult to walk on, and occasionally one could hear rustling sounds in the grass and trees nearby. Mu Huaixi held a flashlight and pulled Xiao Ai, without stopping.
Before we even got there, we could smell the strong smell of disinfectant. In a wooden shed were several rows of simple camp beds, and occasionally we could hear low groans of pain.
Mu Huaixi took a quick look around and saw that there were not many wounded people in the shed, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side of the shed was a small bamboo building that didn't look hastily built, but rather had been there forever. While typical bamboo buildings have items stored on the lower floor and people living on the upper, this one had medicines stored on the upper floor, with unpacked bedding on the wooden planks below.
"Are you new here?" A young woman, also in camouflage uniform, emerged from behind the bamboo building. "My name is Li Ying, and I'm a nurse. You can stay upstairs with me, in the room near the stairs."
"You go up first, I'll get you some water!" Li Ying was very enthusiastic. After she finished speaking, she turned to the back of the bamboo building. Mu Huaixi hadn't asked what she wanted to ask yet, so she could only go to the room upstairs as she said.
As soon as she entered the door, Ai Taoyu tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "Xiao Mu, can you still use the needle you mentioned last time?"
