Chapter 198: Compassion for Suffering

Gu Zhirong and Lu Shui were led by a personal soldier in his early twenties and walked towards the sergeants' camp. On the way, I also met sergeants in twos and threes, and the eyes cast over were first alert and vigilant, and then when I saw that these two people were actually carried by the general's personal soldiers, their expressions immediately became deferential.

Gu Zhirong knew that the military camp was important, and how many military secrets in it could not be known to outsiders, and he could visit around so casually, and he couldn't do it without absolute trust. It can be seen that General Tong has a lot of trust in the young master, and he loves the house and Wu, so he can enjoy such treatment.

She knew that the ancient army had a strict hierarchy, and people who did not have a certain rank could not ride horses in the camp casually, and sure enough, the camp was very quiet, and even the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and there was no phenomenon of soldiers scurrying between the camps.

At the same time, she also took a careful look at the surrounding environment and saw that there were drainage ditches dug between the camps, and the drainage facilities were still very good. Each camp also has thatched huts, which are located in a location that meets the requirements, and are far away from water sources and food storage places.

Since they pay so much attention to the environmental hygiene of the barracks, they should not suffer from diseases often, but why do the sergeants in the barracks often get sick and their immunity is so low?

When she saw the sergeants who came and went, all with vegetables on their faces, withered and paused, and looked like they were in low spirits, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

An army that is constantly sick does not seem to bode well.

Gu Zhirong pondered, but his feet did not stop, and he followed the personal soldier into one of the camps.

Presumably this is a serious area, so that pro-soldier was the first to bring Gu Zhirong here.

Enter the camp. Gu Zhirong immediately felt a chill. The weather was cold, the wind was cold, and there was no brazier inside. Several soldiers sat in the quilt, hugging the quilt, and from time to time there were a few coughing and wheezing.

"Why don't you make a brazier?" Gu Zhirong asked with surprise.

You must know that people with typhoid fever are the most avoidant of cold, and when they occur, it is an upper respiratory tract infection, and in severe cases, it will also kill people, and keeping warm is of course the most important.

The pro-soldier was stunned by Gu Zhirong's question: "Brazier, charcoal fire is not in the military quarters......

Gu Zhirong couldn't help but feel angry, she really had never seen such a rigid person.

Could it be that there is no such thing as charcoal fire in the munitions? Is it just to let the sick soldiers freeze to death? How difficult is it to go outside and cut a few sticks of firewood and light a brazier? If there is a squad leader here like the modern army, then the squad leader is seriously derelict in his duty.

"There you go. Go outside and cut a few branches and make a brazier. Gu Zhi was extremely angry, and he didn't care what his identity was, so he didn't care how powerful his words were. Directly gave the order to the pro-soldier.

The soldier was stunned. After all, he is used to being in front of the general, and it seems that no one dares to give orders to him except for the general. A humiliating anger rose on his face, and he glared at Gu Zhirong angrily, but his body didn't move half a step: "Do you know who you're talking to?"

Gu Zhirong was also angry, she couldn't get used to this kind of domineering posture the most, and forced her to look at him: "Are you going or not?"

A soldier next to him saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly came over and said, "I'll go." I'm going to cut down the branches. With that, he ran out of the house.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

The sick soldiers were already groggy. Seeing that the incident happened suddenly, and seeing a little girl actually fighting against the reddest personal soldier around the general, they were all frightened by Gu Zhirong's momentum, and their eyes widened and they were stunned.

The pro-soldier lost face in front of everyone, his face turned red, he glared at Gu Zhirong fiercely, and walked away.

Gu Zhirong didn't care about him, he dragged out a stool, sat in front of a soldier, and diagnosed him.

At this time, the soldiers in the house realized that this must be a medical woman sent from above. This kind of thing was not uncommon for them to happen, and the soldier who had just run out soon returned, and lit a charcoal fire, and the room was suddenly warm. As soon as the soldiers were in a good mood, they talked more.

"May I ask this girl, what do you call her?"

"The surname is Gu. ”

"Doctor Gu, were you sent down from above to diagnose our patients?"

“…… Sort of. ”

"Doctor Gu, you are really amazing. Do you know who that man is? He was the most favored soldier of the general's side, and we didn't dare to talk to him like that. ”

"Oh. ”

"Doctor Gu, let me say something. Although you are sent down from above, you have to speak more leisurely. That soldier can't be offended. Last time, one of the doctors who came to check our pulse did the same thing as you, and said something for us, and, then..."

"And then?"

The soldier who was being treated by Gu Zhirong scratched his head: "Then that medical officer somehow broke his leg and couldn't diagnose us anymore." Later, I heard that he was also condemned, saying that he came to the barracks, was lazy and slack, did not do practical things, and was finally withdrawn. ”

"That pro-soldier is really a villain with a cold arrow in his back. Gu Zhi said.

"Doctor Gu, don't talk nonsense. The soldier who exposed the information was very nervous, "There are some things that cannot be said." We just reminded Dr. Gu that if you offend such a person, you should be careful in the future, so as not to fall into his way. ”

"I see. Gu Zhirong said lightly.

She stood up, and while packing up the tools used to diagnose the pulse, she said: "Your typhoid fever symptoms are not serious, but it has dragged on for so long, presumably because of the lack of warmth on weekdays, coupled with the fact that nutrition cannot keep up, and the resistance has decreased, so it has been delayed so far..."

With that, she looked at the soldier's very thin face, and her eyes flashed with doubt.

The sergeants in the army have to train hard every day, of course, they can't get fat, but it is rare to be thin like this. Also, the face is vegetable, which is also too abnormal.

She pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, I will prescribe you three pairs of medicines, add some Shennong flowers, and enhance your body's resistance." Make some charcoal fires on weekdays, pay attention to keeping warm, and it will get better soon. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a room full of soldiers looking at her with very strange eyes: "What?"

"That, that ......" a soldier squeaked for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Shennong flower, it can't be added." ”

"Why?" Gu Zhirong was slightly surprised. She remembered that the young master had said that he entrusted Jiangnan Caoyun to help transport medicine to the border pass, which was to relieve the suffering of the soldiers' illnesses.

The soldier sighed and said, "Doctor Gu doesn't know, our army has control over precious medicinal materials, and those who can afford to use these precious medicinal materials must have an official rank to equip ......."

"You have to have an official rank to be used?" Gu Zhirong was shocked. She remembered that in the barracks, from the first-rank general, down to the sixth-grade thousand generals and the seventh-grade generals, how many people should there be. And it doesn't take into account some unexpected situations. In this way, the layers of equipment fall to the lowest soldiers, and there is not much left.

Gu Zhirong couldn't help frowning, she really didn't expect such a situation. A hot-blooded person like the young master did everything possible to collect precious medicinal materials, and spent a lot of money to send them to the border pass, just to make the soldiers' bodies stronger and have enough strength to carry the guns and resist the iron hooves of foreign people. In this way, his good wishes are about to be disappointed. (To be continued......)
