Chapter 10: Flower Picking - Flower Protection

Li Rong's eyebrows shot up in anger as she said, "Captain Zhou, please leave, do not delay my work"

Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Chief, I haven't eaten either. Can I have this box meal?"

The red glow of the setting sun slants across the mountainside

Suddenly, Liu Zhengfeng's eyes brightened as he noticed several low-growing broadleaf plants on the mountain path to the left, with flowers shaped like trumpets

Liu Zhengfeng, wake up

Liu Zhengfeng sneered, "In the past two days, I have killed no fewer than thirty Japanese. A person who has waded through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood would fear someone like you?"

Doctor Li, Doctor Li

Guo Wanlin's three regiments, which are of little renown, each guard a different area. The regiment he belongs to is stationed at Feiying Ridge, while the second and third battalions have already suffered heavy losses. Now, it all depends on the first battalion, which is likely to face a grim fate as well. It seems a retreat is imminent.

Oh, then I will wait for you outside, I have brought you dinner

Zhou Liankai shouted: "No matter how many Japanese you kill, you cannot act recklessly. I will report to the division headquarters and have the division commander deal with you"

Zhou Liankai was stunned, and it took him a while to regain his composure before he placed the lunch box in front of Li Rong

Li Rong's eyes sparkled with joy as she softly said: "Thank you"

Hu Tiande said irritably, "Oh, you sleep like a pig. The Japanese bombs are exploding with a deafening roar, and you still manage to sleep through it."

Dusk, the sky is filled with red clouds

The other party, merely an ordinary soldier, was unexpectedly so resolute, causing Zhou Liankai to be infuriated to the point of smoke coming from his seven orifices, unable to contain his anger

Wu Erdan, while speaking, also helped to gather flowers, and crushed the flowers on a smooth stone, then gently applied them to the wounds of the injured.

Liu Zhengfeng has a good impression of this nurse; she is lively and cheerful, enjoys joking, and it is very comfortable to be with her

After waiting for a while, a doctor and a nurse walked in, coincidentally, it was Li Rong and Wu Xiaoyun.

Liu Zhengfeng was sound asleep when he was violently shaken awake by Hu Tiande. Upon opening his eyes, he groggily said, "Squad leader, what is it?"

At that moment, Li Rong and Wu Xiaoyun emerged from the tent

Li Rong helplessly said, "I have no appetite, isn't that enough?"

Candles were lit inside the tent, and Liu Zhengfeng and Wu Erdan bent down to enter the tent, lifting the injured person onto an empty hospital bed. There were several other injured individuals in the tent, but their wounds had already been treated, and they were in the recovery phase.

Li Rong furrowed her brows and shook her head

What happened to the Japanese? Isn't the 2nd Company holding the line? Aren't you all engaged in that rotation combat? Is it possible that the 2nd Company can't hold out any longer?

Liu Zhengfeng was startled into a cold sweat, suddenly becoming completely alert, and sat up abruptly

Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Rong'er, it is I."

Miss Wu, you are absolutely right. I feel uncomfortable all over when I don't see you for a day; I can't eat or sleep.

Zhou Liankai perseveres: "Man is like iron, and food is like steel; you should eat a little bit, no matter how much."

Fortunately, the clothes he washed at noon have already dried. Liu Zhengfeng quickly packed his luggage, slung it on his back, and was ready to set off at any moment

Yes

On the other side of Flying Eagle Ridge, the sound of cannon fire was incessant, and gunshots rang out; even from a distance, one could smell the scent of gunpowder.

Li Rong did not dwell on the term "Rong'er" this time and asked, "Do you also understand medicine?"

Disrespecting the superior, on the basis of this charge alone, is sufficient to make you suffer the consequences without any means of escape

Wu Xiaoyun made a face at Liu Zhengfeng and began to prepare for the surgery

Er Dan, stop for a moment

Li Rong walked straight to the injured person's bed, examined the condition of the wound, and was astonished to see that it was covered with a layer of crushed mandrake flowers

The wounded soldier wore a troubled expression, not wanting to cry out himself, yet the shrapnel remained lodged in his muscle. Lying on the stretcher, he was jolted back and forth; how could it not hurt? However, others were carrying him now, showing kindness towards him, urging him not to cry out. Yet the pain was excruciating; he was caught in a dilemma, unable to scream and unable to remain silent, leaving him in a state of panic, drenched in sweat.

Wu Erdan was in front, while Liu Zhengfeng was behind. He saw that the injured person was clearly in great pain, yet he was afraid of offending Wu Erdan and forced himself to endure without daring to cry out, feeling a slight sense of compassion in his heart

Li Rong removed her mask and gently exhaled. Under the dim light, her delicate and fair face seemed to radiate a sacred glow, breathtakingly beautiful

Liu Zhengfeng was picking flowers while responding: "This flower is called the mandala flower. If you crush it and apply it to the wound, it has analgesic and calming effects. We will apply it to this big brother, and he will stop crying."

Uncertain of how much time had passed, the camp commander Zhou Liankai of the guard unit hurried over, holding a lunch box in his hand, and swiftly lifted the canvas of the tent to slip inside

Zhou Liankai, however, was relentless. Seeing Li Rong trying to bypass him and move forward, he immediately blocked her path.

The two individuals stopped the stretcher and placed it by the roadside, while Liu Zhengfeng reached out to pick the flowers on top.

Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Wait for someone."

Liu Zhengfeng said softly: "When a person is shameless, they are invincible in the world"

Wu Xiaoyun could not help but let out a laugh with a "pfft" sound, but suddenly felt it was inappropriate and quickly covered her mouth with her hand

Liu Zhengfeng and Wu Erdan stepped out of the tent. Liu Zhengfeng instructed Wu Erdan to report to Hu Tiande, but he himself was unwilling to leave and chose to wait outside the tent.

Liu Zhengfeng, why have you returned again? Do you miss me?

Zhou Liankai realized that he was being mocked, and he immediately became furious with embarrassment

Zhou Liankai emerged from the tent once again, waiting in an orderly manner

Good

Liu Zhengfeng yawned and stretched his body lazily

I am still performing surgery, please go out

Liu Zhengfeng touched his nose and said, "I know a little bit about it."

Wu Xiaoyun shot a glance at Liu Zhengfeng and said: "Rong'er, Rong'er, aren't you afraid of being cheesy? Even I feel a bit sour just listening from the side"

Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "I will definitely accomplish what Rong'er has entrusted to me"

"Captain Zhou, thank you, I am not hungry"

He understands the principle that speed is of the essence in warfare and that defeat can come as swiftly as a collapsing mountain, and that this battalion could collapse at any moment

"How could you not be hungry? You have been busy for a full eight hours."

Wu Xiaoyun said with a smile

After completing these tasks, the two individuals lifted the injured person and continued to move forward. The effects of the mandala flower were indeed remarkable, as the injured person stopped crying and eventually fell asleep.

As expected, Hu Tiande urged repeatedly: "Hurry up and pack your things, everyone in our camp will escort the wounded to the rear field hospital and prepare to cover the hospital's evacuation."

Wu Erdan frowned and said, "Brother, could you please stop calling? It is quite annoying to listen to."

Li Rong's delicate reprimand came from inside the tent

Liu Zhengfeng coldly said: "Are you a major or a lieutenant colonel? What does it matter to me? You can't control me, so stop trying to show off in front of me."

You, a mere soldier, how dare you meddle in the affairs of a dignified major of the Party? Have you eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?

Liu Zhengfeng and Wu Erdan were carrying an injured person, who lay on a stretcher. He had several pieces of shrapnel embedded in his shoulder and calf, causing him excruciating pain, and he grimaced in agony, continuously moaning and crying out in pain along the way

Miss Li, I know you haven't had dinner yet, so I specially brought you some food. Please enjoy it while it's hot

Who applied the mandala flower above

Li Rong said solemnly: "Xiao Yun, light a few more candles, prepare for the surgery, and ask all unrelated personnel to leave."

Hu Tiande said with a bitter smile: "Still talking about the second battalion, we haven't even got through the first battalion, sigh, our regiment's second battalion has been wiped out in a single day, now it's the first battalion fighting against the Japanese."

Li Rong nodded, her gaze suddenly softening: "The anesthetic and sedative medication at the hospital has long been used up. Could you help me gather some herbs that have anesthetic or pain-relieving and calming effects?"

What?

By the time we arrived at the battlefield hospital, it was already completely dark.

Zhou Liankai then noticed Liu Zhengfeng, paused for a moment, and said: "It’s you? What are you doing here?"

Oh, Brother Liu, how do you know so much? I never noticed it before.

Wu Erdan curiously asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Liankai urged, "Miss Li, no matter how busy you are with work, you still need to eat."
