Chapter Thirty-Four: The Camp of Wounded Soldiers
The tireless snow fell all night without stopping. In the early morning, Wang Xingxin, who walked out of the tent with a blanket in the Suzhou camp, was shivering from the cold, he was still wearing the winter coat that Liu Lao Er had purchased before the certificate was issued, and a linen jacket filled with broken wool for the inside of the table. Although it was thick, in this Suzhou camp where the snow was heavy and the cold wind was raging, Wang Xingxin was still shivering.
This makes him miss the big cotton jacket very much, and the two cotton pants are even more nostalgic for the classic military coat!
After a while, I saw Liu Gangzi and them walking as if they were themselves, although they were still shivering with a blanket like him, but the three of them didn't seem to be very warm.
Wang Xingxin asked the three of them to gather all the rest of the wounded and sick camp and began to speak: "You have listened carefully! Be sure to get everything ready for the Sick and Wounded Camp by noon today! Now there are two hours left before noon, and the movement in the camp in the middle of the night must have known what is going to happen, and now the official asks! As the carpenters speed up the building of the bed, the blacksmith also speeds up the creation of an apple......"
Wang Xingxin, who had assigned the task, found a few people who could work as bricklayers and taught them how to be land dragons. It's just that it's freezing on this day, and it's very difficult to get soil.
A bricklayer came up with a solution, which was to light a pile of fire on the ground, and in a short time the frozen soil below would soften, and then dig down.
Let people move all the wooden frame beds built by carpenters to various tents, Wang Xingxin counted only more than one hundred and twenty sheets, it is estimated that it is not enough, I knew that yesterday let those carpenters build overnight!
Although there are not many small tools made by those blacksmiths, in addition to the medical officers sent to the major battalions, there are still more than ten sets left, which should be enough.
Several cauldrons in the open space outside also boiled, shoveled the clean snow and put it in the cauldron in a short time, and after boiling again, it could kill most of the bacteria. Heiwa's melon cowardly did not command the people who were assigned to him, but simply explained and then lit a fire in front of a cauldron.
Heiwa's move made Wang Xingxin want to go and scold, this kid clearly wanted to rely on the stove to keep warm. I didn't see my brother shivering from the cold, and he was still busy! Eyeless cowardice!
Looking at the people who were shivering and still busy outside, Wang Xingxin hurriedly asked Cheng Dong to get some beef bones and cook them. After the beef bone broth with more ginger was stewed, Wang Xingxin asked everyone to stop what they were doing, and let them fill a bowl of it, although it was not very delicious, but it was full of salt and ginger, and they were full of heat after drinking a sip. Each person soaked in various dry foods such as millet bread and flour cakes made it an excellent meal.
Heiwa, they even tore the bacon into small pieces and put it in the soup to eat and drink. After seeing that everyone was full of food and drink, Wang Xingxin hurriedly asked everyone to speed up while it was hot, except for some people who boiled water and boiled medicinal juice, they all joined the team to make the land dragon.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was no drying equipment, and the second was that it was still snowing in winter, and the adobe that had been laid down was not able to be used for a while anyway, and it was baked with fire when ignited, and the outer skin was slightly dried and then built up first, and then it would be dried naturally after it was burned, although it was not durable, there was only this method in this barracks. Even if there is a smoke leak, then paste it with mud immediately.
Before noon, a third of the tents were already filled with fire dragons, and those earth dragons were also burning, and it was not long before the tent was warm like spring, but the wet mud was baked to white smoke, and some unpleasant smells permeated the tent.
Wang Xingxin hurriedly asked people to open the tents a little, and arranged for good people to continue to burn, so that the adobe could continue to dry. Seeing that noon was approaching, Wang Xingxin asked all the medical officers and Lang Zhong to prepare the sheep intestines, curved needles and other utensils that were taken out overnight and waited in a tent.
Then set aside a tent for some people to hurry up the extraction of sheep intestines for backup, looking at the almost wounded and sick battalion prepared, as long as it is not a sudden influx of more than 500 wounded soldiers, it should be able to cope with it.
Tired that there was smoke above his head, Wang Xingxin, who was exhaling in his mouth, went to the big pot where Heiwa was burning and scooped a bowl of boiling water with a pottery bowl. If the weather doesn't dry as soon as possible, the cold wind will definitely catch a cold! I didn't bring any anti-inflammatory drugs and cold medicines, and in this era when a small cold can sometimes kill people, Wang Xingxin didn't dare to be careless.
After about an hour, the adobe in the tent where the earth dragon was first built had been roasted, and after Wang Xingxin asked the tent to cover it tightly, he thought about it and asked people to burn vinegar in the tent to disinfect it. Who knows what germs are in the water vapor that comes out of the wet mud after it is dried?
After a while, there was a sour and vinegar smell everywhere in the whole wounded barracks, but it was not unpleasant.
Seeing that the newly built wooden frame bed was carried into the tent from time to time, all the tents used by the wounded soldiers were now built with the fire dragon, except for the tent where everyone lived.
These tents were divided into four-person rooms, eight-person rooms, and large shops by Wang Xingxin according to their size. The four-person room is used for the seriously injured, and the lighter room is for the six-person room, and the Chase Shop is completely used by the lightly injured soldiers. In front of the doors of each tent, strips of cloth of different colors are hung to distinguish them.
When everything was ready, waiting for the wounded soldiers to enter the camp, Wang Xingxin beckoned everyone to rest for a while. He also told the people who built the fire dragon that they should not pay attention to anything for a while, and then build the rest of the tents, especially explaining that the tent where he lives must be built carefully!
Wang Xingxin, who was pretending to be a private servant, squatted by the stove with Heiwa in a blanket and waited for the arrival of the wounded soldiers.
"Brother Xin, how do you say that our Laoshizi Injury Camp can do so much trouble! It's clean! The last toilet has to go far and wide, and when you are at home, you can find a place outside the yard to solve it! Not to mention that, you also got so much linen cloth and tore it into pieces for those wounded soldiers to wipe their butts! That's too much, isn't it? ”
"You melon cowardly knows a fart! It's called hygiene! Hygiene! ”
"If you don't know how to be hygienic, you know that those linen cloths are all good cloths! There are dirt and dirt everywhere, and there is no shortage of dry leaves, and you want to drip it out by wiping your ass with that precious thing! If I let the general know, I have to beat you with a stick! ”
"It's not easy to explain to you a melon, you can rest assured that the general will not beat my army stick, provided that you have to burn the fire for my brother, if the boiling water is short and the treatment of the wounded soldiers is delayed, your brother will not be a matter of ass flowering!"
"What's that?"
"What's the matter? The matter of the head moving! ”
......
When the two of them were talking and laughing one by one, Wang Xingxin suddenly heard a noisy sound, the sound of horses' hooves, and shouts and some screams.
Standing up and running to the gate of the wounded camp, a team of messy people and horses hurried towards the wounded barracks, and the leader was Cheng Chumo, who had not seen him for a few days!
Wang Xingxin turned his head and ran into the camp, calling everyone to prepare to welcome the wounded soldiers into the camp as he ran, and according to the previous arrangement, the medical officers in each tent were quickly in place.
Wang Xingxin greeted Cheng Chumo, who came in embarrassment, and said urgently: "Quick! Send the seriously injured soldiers into the tent with a red cloth tied at the door first! The ones that weren't very heavy were sent to a tent with black strips of cloth, and those who were lightly injured were sent to a tent with strips of white cloth.... Fast! ”
Cheng Chumo did not trouble Wang Xingxin at this time, but according to his arrangement, the wounded soldiers were classified and sent to various tents, and after all the wounded soldiers were sent to the tents, Wang Xingxin asked Cheng Chumo: "Are you injured?" ”
Cheng Chumo replied gloomily: "I'm not injured, it's just those brothers ......"
Wang Xingxin patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, I will try my best to let the injured brothers survive!" ”
After speaking, he ignored Cheng Chumo and went to the tent where the seriously injured person was.
As soon as he walked into the tent, Wang Xingxin was so smoked by the bloody breath that came with the heat wave that he ran out and vomited. After a while, Wang Xingxin remembered to bring a simple mask made of linen.
Wang Xingxin, who walked in again, looked at the four seriously injured sergeants lying on the bed, one had his arm cut off, one had a knife wound more than a foot long on his back, and one had a big hole in his stomach! There was also one person who also suffered a knife wound, only in the chest.
His ears were filled with the sound of the wounded soldiers wailing, and Wang Xingxin looked at the wounded soldiers at a loss. He didn't know what to do, the soldier who had been stabbed in the stomach was so badly injured that his intestines were punctured, and it was difficult to survive such injuries even in modern times with complete medical equipment.
Wang Xingxin could only watch him wail and wail, and slowly lost his voice....
