Chapter 59

When Xu Wen rushed to the beach, it was in chaos.

It's just orderly chaos.

The people in the health company were busy rescuing critically ill patients.

From Lu Yuanzheng Shi Lei to the squad leaders and platoon leaders, all the cadres ignored their own injuries and were busy arranging for the wounded.

All seriously ill patients were handed over to the health company, and those with mild or moderate illnesses were helped to treat their wounds and then helped back to their rooms to rest.

The first thing to do when you are bitten by a jellyfish is to clean the wound with sea water.

The scene was like a group of people in sailor shirts bathing in the sea early in the morning, one group coming ashore and then being replaced by the next group.

Xu Wen ran up to Lu Yuanzheng and without saying a word, lifted the hem of his clothes and lifted it up.

Lu Yuanzheng hurriedly grabbed her hand and stopped her: "Wife, there are so many people here! Take it off at home."

Xu asked: "..."

My eyes were red.

She saw it at a glance.

Lu Yuanzheng's body was similar to the one in the TV drama with severe torture and whip marks all over his body.

The swollen red marks are shocking to look at.

"Don't cry, I'm fine. I'm used to it!"

Xu Wen glared at him with tears in his eyes: "Is this something we can get used to?"

Lu Yuanzheng rubbed his nose, but now was not the time to coax Xu Wen, so he could only sigh and discuss with Xu Wen: "I'll talk about my business when I get home! You help apply medicine to them first. There are a few seriously ill patients, I'll go see how to transfer them."

There are only a few warships on the island, and they are usually hidden on the island. We can't take care of so many now, so we have to send out the ships to transfer the wounded first.

The problem is that the land is too far away and it will take a day to get back, which will delay us.

The best way is to transport it to the regiment headquarters.

The island where the regiment headquarters is located is less than 20 kilometers away from here, so it is relatively quick, and we can also borrow some medicines by the way.

Xu Wen nodded. There was no point in her worrying anymore. As long as Lu Yuanzheng wasn't in so much pain, he would definitely not stop to treat her.

Love between children has never been their first priority.

She cleaned the wounds of the moderately injured patients who had just washed themselves in the sea water and applied medicine.

The silver lining in this tragedy is that this is not the first time they have encountered a group of people being bitten by jellyfish, and the health company has prepared a lot of emergency medicines, at least enough to treat the moderately ill.

Those with mild symptoms can probably just rely on themselves to endure.

This ordeal lasted for half the morning before all the injured soldiers were settled.

Shi Lei followed the boat to the regiment headquarters, while Lu Yuanzheng was still busy arranging the replacement of the sentry posts.

Normally they change their posts every four hours, but because of this accident, some of them have been on duty for six hours.

It is very uncomfortable to stand in the sun fully armed on a hot day.

Moreover, they also receive full training in logistical support.

As a result, only some people with milder poisoning symptoms can be transferred to other positions.

Even when he was on a long expedition, he led the troops and took up a post.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the tent.

Dongsheng was taking a nap. Xu Wen couldn't sleep, so he sat on a chair waiting for Lu Yuanzheng. He stood up when he saw Lu Yuanzheng come in.

Lu Yuanzheng's face was obviously not in good condition. He opened his arms to hug Xu Wen, but he hissed in pain and stood up straight again.

"The clothes are off!" Xu Wen frowned.

"It's not a good time in the middle of the day, right?" Lu Yuanzheng joked.

Xu Wen said nothing and just glared at him.

Lu Yuanzheng touched his nose and obediently took off his shirt.

Xu Wen took a breath.

Lu Yuanzheng's chest, back and arms were covered with red marks that looked painful.

"Don't cry! I'm fine! I've been stung a few times before, I'm really used to it!"

Xu Wen ignored him.

I'm afraid you won't get used to this kind of thing after a few times.

She pushed Lu Yuanzheng onto the chair and saw that he frowned.

"On the butt, too?"

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head: "That can't be possible!"

"Take off your pants too!"

"Wife, it's too early in the day. Why are you waiting for the night..."

"It's a long journey!"

Seeing that Xu Wen was really angry, Lu Yuanzheng obediently took off his pants.

From the collarbone to the calf, nothing was spared.

Xu Wen bit his lower lip, raised his hand and put it down again, finally he just sighed lightly and took the medicine from the table and applied it to him.

This medicine was brought back from other islands.

Xu Wen moved very gently, probably because he was afraid of hurting him, so he blew softly while applying the medicine.

The wound was originally feeling a burning, stinging and itchy sensation, but after she blew on it, it really felt much better.

But other feelings can arise as well.

Xu Wen just applied the medicine up to his waist, and then...

Lu Yuanzheng coughed lightly, turned around and grabbed her hand, "I'll do the rest myself."

Xu Wen raised his eyebrows and asked him, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Lu Yuanzheng nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

You have to be able to do it even if you can't.

He can be shy too!

Xu Wen was also embarrassed, but he didn't force it. He loosened his hand and gave him the ointment. He turned his back and waited until he had applied the ointment to the "dangerous" area before turning back to apply the ointment to him.

The journey was long and I couldn't be so gentle and meticulous when applying the paint, so I just smeared it all over.

Xu Wen frowned when he saw this, and he snatched the medicine bottle from his hand and used it to apply on his arms and legs.

There was no need to brag this time. Xu Wen chatted with Lu Yuanzheng while painting.

"What happened today?"

"I swam five kilometers this morning and happened to run into a group of jellyfish."

"Have you seen me before?"

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, "Not often. Usually, if we swim five kilometers, we will get off the boat to explore the route. But marine animals move, so maybe they weren't there when we explored, but they'll just be there when we come back. I've encountered them a few times before. In fact, it's still good like today. After all, it's just training, and we can bring them back as a group to rest.

If you have to rush to the battle, no matter how painful it is, you have to endure it. As long as you are not unconscious, you have to go. "

"Have you ever encountered a jellyfish during a battle?"

Lu Yuanzheng looked down at Xu Wen's face and saw that she was still quite calm. He hesitated and nodded: "Yes."

Then he was poked hard at the wound, and he gasped in pain.

Xu Wen quickly apologized: "I'm sorry."

Didn't control the strength well.

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head and held her hand, "Xu Wen, I will try my best to protect myself in the future."

Try not to make you worry.

Xu Wen took his hand away and applied the last part of the wound, then pointed to the bed and said, "You've been busy until now, why don't you take a break? Can you... rest like this?"

"Sure. This medicine is effective, and I'll be fine in a while."

"Okay, then you take a rest!"

Seeing Xu Wen walk out after she finished speaking, Lu Yuanzheng called out to her, "Where are you going?"

"Go and avenge you!"

When we had dinner in the evening, everyone noticed that there was an extra cold dish.

"Squad Leader Zhang, what day is it today? Why are you giving us extra meals?"

"Aren't we all injured? Sister Lu Ying prepared a dish for us, saying it's to comfort the wounded. Try it and see if it tastes good."

"What is this? Why does it look like the cool powder from my hometown?"

"Pick out those two eyeballs of yours and throw them away!"

"This...isn't it a jellyfish?"

"Sister-in-law is so talented!" They all hated jellyfish and would never eat it normally, and the kitchen staff didn't know how to cook it.

Who would like to eat their own jellyfish?

My scalp tingles when I hear these two words.

Squad Leader Zhang waved his spoon and snorted, "Are you really doing this for you? The sister-in-law feels sorry for Lu Ying and wants to avenge him. You are the ones who benefit from it!"

"Revenge?"

"Yes! My sister-in-law said that if the jellyfish stung you, she would eat them to avenge you!"

Everyone laughed.

"Sister-in-law is right!"

"That's right! If they dare to bite us, we will eat them!"

"No wonder after we got ashore this morning, I saw my sister-in-law borrow the lifeboat from the health company and go to the sea with Dongsheng! So they were going to catch jellyfish?"

"Don't mention it! Lu Ying's sister-in-law is really amazing! I have never seen her as beautiful as she is except in the movies. Most importantly, she is not only beautiful but also very talented. I was delivering documents to Lu Ying yesterday, and it was so cool when I entered the tent. I heard that it was all the sister-in-law's own encouragement."

"Indeed. A student from a prestigious university followed us to this deserted island. Alas! My wife is nothing and still doesn't want to come here."

"Don't just compare your wife with Lu Ying's wife! You can't compare with Lu Ying! Lu Ying is also a top student who graduated from the military academy! When it comes to strategy, skills, and everything else, Lu Ying is the best." The soldier who spoke raised his thumb.

"That's true. But the instructor's position is not lower than Lu Ying's! The instructor also graduated from a military academy, but his sister-in-law..."

"Tsk... you think you can discuss the leader's affairs? Be careful or the instructor will hear you and punish you!"

Shi Lei outside the cafeteria: "..."

He snorted and gave Lu Yuanzheng a cold look: "Laugh, laugh, laugh! The corners of your mouth are cracked all the way to your temples! What are you so proud of? Did they compliment you?"

"I am also happy when you praise my wife!" Lu Yuanzheng showed his white teeth, "Besides, even if you don't praise her, won't I be happy when my wife avenges me?"

Shi Lei was speechless. He uttered a short sigh and was the first to open the curtain and enter the cafeteria.

They came late and there is no food!

Including jellyfish salad.

Shi Lei was immediately happy, "Ha! Isn't it revenge for you? Did you eat your 'enemy'?"

Lu Yuanzheng also felt a little regretful, but he didn't show it on his face. "Not being able to eat it is also revenge! But you... a teacher, you look so sarcastic, is that appropriate?"

Shi Lei: “…”

"You're the one being sarcastic!"

Squad leader Zhang heard the commotion, ran out and saw that it was them, and hurriedly said, "Battalion commander, instructor, you're here! Sister-in-law asked you to come home for dinner."

Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows proudly at Shi Lei, "I'm going home to eat. See you later!"

Shi Lei thought about it and followed.

Lu Yuanzheng glanced back at him and said, "Why are you following me when I go home to eat?"

"Didn't you hear what Lao Zhang said about 'you guys'?! My sister-in-law invited me too!"

"Lao Shi, we have known each other for many years. How come I didn't know you were so shameless before?"

Shi Lei snorted: "I didn't know you were so lucky before! You found a wife who has higher prestige in the camp than you! She is really good at both cooking and cooking!"

As they were talking, they arrived at Lu Yuanzheng's tent.

As soon as I entered the tent, I saw three dishes and a soup on the table, one of which was the cold jellyfish.

"Hey! Sister-in-law, what day is it today? Why did you prepare so many dishes?"

Seeing them coming, Xu Wen stood up and said, "No! I just caught some fish when I was fishing for jellyfish. The quantity was a little small, not enough for everyone, so I selfishly made a small stove."

"How can this be considered selfish! My family members could have opened a small stove, but they just don't have the conditions to do so now. Sister-in-law, you are too polite!"

After everyone sat down, Xu asked, "As far as I know, these jellyfish usually appear in groups in July and August. Isn't it a little early now?"

Lu Yuanzheng and Shi Lei looked at each other.

Lu Yuanzheng nodded, "It's probably man-made. Everyone was injured today, and I'm afraid there will be bad guests on the island tonight."

Shi Lei had a headache: "That's really a troublesome thing!"

Xu Wen thought for a moment and said, "I do have a solution, but it can only be used as an emergency measure."

At night, Xu Wen was awakened by the sound of gunfire. He reached out and found that Lu Yuanzheng was no longer in bed.

Dongsheng also woke up, climbed onto the big bed and hugged Xu Wen.

Xu Wen thought he was scared, so she hugged him and was about to comfort him when she heard Dongsheng say in a little adult tone: "Don't be afraid, Mom! I will protect you!"

Xu Wen felt warm in his heart, "Well, thank you Dongsheng."

She wasn't actually scared, just startled.

There are so many reliable people out there, unless the enemy launches an invasion, they will definitely be safe.

It is the trust in Lu Yuanzheng and also the trust in the green military uniform.

Sure enough, after a few gunshots, the island returned to peace.

Dongsheng had fallen asleep as if nothing had happened. Xu Wen carried him to the crib and opened the tent door himself.

The sea breeze is not as hot as during the day.

The searchlight from the island sentry post shone onto the sea, making the surrounding area very bright.

The entire camp was still quiet, and no family member was shouting or yelling in panic. It would be better to say that they were used to it rather than calm.

After a while, Lu Yuanzheng came running from a distance. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Wen and asked her softly, "Are you scared?"

Xu Wen shook his head and looked him up and down: "Are you okay?"

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, held her hand and walked back to the tent. "Thanks to you, we had no casualties. We also captured two prisoners and obtained a boat."

"What was the gunshot?"

"They jumped overboard and fled. It was just a warning."

Xu Wen then breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lu Yuanzheng back to the tent.

Lu Yuanzheng took off his coat.

Xu Wen filled a basin with water, put a clean towel in the water and placed it on the washbasin rack.

Lu Yuanzheng washed his face and wiped the sweat off his body.

Xu Wen would go behind the curtain and if they were to be honest with each other, both of them would feel shy.

"Your method really works!" Lu Yuanzheng laughed when he thought of the miserable plight of those people. "You knocked down the leading ones directly, saving us a lot of trouble."

Xu Wen sighed: "This can't be used for a long time! It can only be used once or twice."

Her method was simple and crude: just pass electricity through the wire.

Earlier on Lu Yuanzheng, they applied for barbed wire fences for the island enclosure, and part of it arrived yesterday.

Because the quantity is still short and there is no space, it has not been put up yet.

Today, Xu Wen saw that everyone was injured and suggested to temporarily put up two wires.

The height of the wire does not need to be too high. The highest part needs to be supported by hand to pass easily. If you want to drill the lowest part, you need to lift it up with your hand.

Lu Yuanzheng calculated silently, "If that's the case, then the wire we have now is enough to wrap around the island twice."

"What effect will this have?" Shi Lei frowned. Even ordinary people couldn't defend against this.

"Yes, two pieces of wire alone are definitely not enough to protect people. So, what if electricity is connected?"

"ah?"

Xu Wen thought about this for a long time. She asked the magic mirror, and the magic mirror told her that jellyfish should not appear in groups in this season.

Xu Wen guessed that it was most likely man-made.

The purpose is to weaken the island's combat effectiveness.

Xu Wen then thought of electrifying the wire.

Such a rough method would not work anywhere else, but it works on this island.

There are no ordinary people on this island, only officers and soldiers who obey orders and a few family members.

Once the officers and soldiers give the order, they will never touch the wire.

It is no exaggeration to say that the sisters-in-law who are able to stay on the island are half warriors, and they can definitely do it if they are told not to go out.

This way, except for the sentries, most people can rest in peace. Even if someone suddenly attacks, they will be electrocuted and will be injured if not killed.

Lu Yuanzheng discussed it with Shi Lei and thought it was feasible, so he arranged for the kitchen staff to help arrange the wire.

Because they were the few non-injured people on the island.

Several sisters-in-law also came to help, including Dongsheng and Xu Wen.

After turning off the lights at night, Lu Yuanzheng and his team connected electricity to the wire.

The wire was loose, and the first person who arrived on the island didn't take it seriously. He reached out to touch it and was electrocuted on the spot.

The people behind him subconsciously tried to pull him, but they were also shivering from the electric shock.

To avoid accidental injuries, Lu Yuanzheng and his team deliberately lowered the current to avoid any loss of life.

The man screamed in shock from the sudden electric shock.

At the same time, it alarmed his own people and the sentries.

The power went out at the sentry post, so he blew the whistle to warn people.

The soldiers with mild symptoms immediately chased after them.

Their boat was pierced, forcing them to jump into the sea to escape.

The two who were electrocuted felt numb all over and could not escape no matter what, so they were captured.

"We need to speed up the construction on the island! The defenses must also be completed soon. Starting tomorrow, we will divide the work. You will be in charge of building the houses, and I will lead the people to arrange the defenses. We can't always be so passive!"

Shi Lei nodded, "Yes. But we are defending the island, and the word "defending" determines our position. I know you like to charge and attack, but you have to adapt to the change of territory."

Lu Yuanzheng did not refute, "Yes, I know."

I don’t know if it was because Xu Wen’s wire mesh had a deterrent effect, but the island was relatively calm for a while.

Everyone divides the work and cooperates, each doing their own job.

Rows of new wooden houses were built and shiploads of supplies were shipped to the island.

Xu Wen and several of their family members were also busy helping the soldiers in the kitchen squad to open up the wasteland.

The supply ship only comes every few days, so the meat and other things can be stored because Xu Wen made a simple refrigerator.

But vegetables are not the same as they go bad easily.

So the battalion called on the kitchen staff to be self-sufficient.

During their spare time while cooking, they gradually set up food areas, vegetable areas, fruit and vegetable areas, as well as poultry and livestock breeding areas.

Chickens, ducks, sheep, and cattle were all transported here.

Xu Wen rarely does hard labor. It’s not because she is spoiled, but because she is always assigned difficult tasks.

In fact, there is a new profession recently: kindergarten teacher.
