In the small village where the 19th Brigade was stationed, laughter and laughter rang out.

Xu 19 not only brought back the much-needed supplies of the officers and soldiers, but also brought from the city a large wooden barrel for killing pigs and removing hair, as well as a large iron pot, the large iron pot had been set up, the boiling water in the pot was steaming outward, the hot water in a dozen large wooden barrels had also been mixed, and more than 200 exhausted remnants were lining up, waiting for a hot bath.

The house set up on the ruins is also very lively, the firewood in the stove is burning, the face of the man who burns the fire is hot, but the man's mouth is almost to the root of the ear, the stove, the big chopping board that is erected spread out half of the pork, the two gang leaders are chopping meat with kitchen knives, and the noodles are in a big basin on the side, and they want to eat big meat buns tonight, and each person is enough.

However, the happiest were the wounded, because the captain brought back a medical team, not only to clean their wounds, but also to perform surgery, I heard that the beautiful military doctor who performed the operation was still the captain's lover, and the officers and soldiers of the 19th brigade were even happier, and they were sincerely happy for the captain.

Li Zihan wrote in his diary: "When the captain came back with several carts of supplies, the brothers were overjoyed, especially the sixteen large wooden barrels that could hold two people to bathe at the same time, which made the brothers crazy, and everyone rushed to the bathhouse, and even the fragrant and hot buns could not stop them......"

Shu Tongwen came over and said, "Zihan, why don't you go to the infirmary to have a look?" ”

The captain's lover came, the platoon commander's lover also returned, and two good-looking little nurses came, and the big soldiers of the 19th Brigade all ran over to see the rarity.

Li Zihan shook his head and smiled: "What's so good." ”

Shu Tongwen also shook his head with a smile: "Then let's go take a bath together." ”

"I'll wait, you go first." Li Zihan continued to write his diary, but Shu Tongwen couldn't wait to take a bath.

The bathhouse is located in the big ancestral hall at the entrance of the village that burns only four walls, sixteen large wooden barrels are set up in four or four, and more than a dozen large iron pots for boiling water are set up on the small river outside the ancestral hall, and there is a room not far away, the remnants of the soldiers are taking a hot bath, and they can smell the smell of meat wafting from the room, not to mention how beautiful it is.

The gang was not enough, so the remnants of the soldiers did it themselves, carrying buckets of boiling water and cold water into the ancestral hall, and without waiting for the hot water to be mixed, the next group of remnants had already stripped themselves naked and jumped into the barrels, and the result was either burned and howled, or they were frozen and screamed, and the remnants of the soldiers queuing outside laughed and fell.

Secretary Cao Mancang took out a set of dicks from his backpack, but it was a row of tools for shaving heads, including clippers, scissors, two sharpened razors, and a piece of sharpening cloth.

At this time, Lao Cao's craftsmanship can come in handy, soak in a hot bath, repair a face and shave a head, for the physically and mentally exhausted remnants of the soldiers, it is no less than a fairy-like enjoyment, more than 30 remnants who have been soaked in hot water immediately called, this said Lao Cao quickly shaved my face, that shouted Brother Mancang, shave my head.

Cao Mancang is a good man, starting from the first big barrel, he shaved the faces and heads of the remnants one by one, Lao Cao's craftsmanship is quite good, between the razors flying, the original unkempt and embarrassed remnants of the soldiers immediately became a bright face, energetic and sturdy young man, which is even more powerful than the big change.

A remnant of the former guard battalion couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's still the best for our captain, although our camp treats the brothers well, the military salary is never deducted, and the food is improved from time to time, but compared with the captain, it is still a little worse, I heard that the captain has pulled out guns with people in order to get the medical team back?" ”

Immediately, a remnant soldier from Hubei responded: "It's not what's wrong, the stupid big man who just came said that the captain has put the gun on the head of the dean, and this matter will be investigated to go to the military court, and the dean also said so, but guess how the captain answered?" ”

"How?" Everyone asked.

"The captain said, the old man's soldiers are all waiting, as long as the old man's soldiers are saved, let alone going to the bullshit military court, you will shoot the old man, and the old man will never complain!" The remnants of Hubei were spitting and awe-inspiring, but the remnants of the soldiers waiting in the bathhouse and outside were silent.

Cao Mancang, who was shaving Shu Tongwen's head, said, "Hey, what is this?" ”

Including Shu Tongwen, a group of remnants turned their heads and glared angrily at Cao Mancang

Cao Mancang said casually: "After the Min Revolution, our 19th Route Army was reorganized by the Central Army, and the captain originally had the opportunity to go to the Central Army to be the colonel and regiment leader, Sun Yuanliang prepared the letter of appointment, so he almost filled in the name of the captain, but the captain did not go, because he was unwilling to abandon the more than 100 disabled soldiers who were eliminated during the reorganization. ”

Cao Mancang said while skillfully pushing Shu Tongwen's hair with a clipper, and in a blink of an eye, Shu Tongwen changed from an unkempt little beggar back to a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, bright and neat, seeing that Cao Mancang did not mean to belittle Xu Shijiu, Shu Tongwen and a group of remnants slowly eased their eyes.

Shu Tongwen said: "I heard Ergua say that more than 100 disabled soldiers later followed the captain to Shanghai. ”

Cao Mancang said: "At that time, there was no way, the injuries of the more than 100 disabled soldiers were very serious, only Shanghai has treatment conditions, the captain in order to raise money for everyone to go to Shanghai and medical expenses, all day long in and out of the big shijie, the big stage and those celebrities, courtesans, I don't know how many people point fingers at him behind his back." ”

Shu Tongwen's lips tightened, the eyes of the remnants of the soldiers were not right, the atmosphere in the bathhouse suddenly became a little solemn, and there was an inexplicable emotion surging in the hot air, they could fully imagine the sense of humiliation in their hearts when Xu Shijiu entered and exited these dusty places and suffered from others' fingers.

########

Temporarily used as an infirmary is the only completed haode house in the village.

The wound on Ergua's right calf has been infected and inflamed, Yu Jiaxi is giving him anti-inflammatory treatment, Yao Nianci is working on the side, in addition to Yao Nianci, Qin Yuzhen and another little nurse are re-bandaging the wounded soldier who has eliminated the inflammation, in order to divert Ergua's attention and reduce the pain, Yu Jiaxi told him how to get acquainted with Xu Shijiu in the past.

"I'm with your captain......" Yu Jiaxi's beautiful eyes flickered, and she quickly fell into a memory, "The first time we met was in Dashijie, when I went with a few sisters to watch Sister Tang Ying sing Kunqu Opera, but I inadvertently broke into the backstage and saw Sister Tang Ying and a large group of courtesans laughing around your captain, I thought at the time, this must be a playboy." ”

Ergua was happy and said with a smile: "Sister Jiaxi, so the captain gave you a bad first impression?" ”

Yu Jiaxi pouted and said, "Your captain's first impression on me is not bad, but very bad, so when we met for the second time, that kind of story happened." ”

At this time, even Yao Nianci was interested, and asked, "What happened to the second time you met?" ”

Yu Jiaxi asked Ergua: "Ergua, do you remember that your captain went to the hospital once last year?" ”

Ergua said: "Of course I remember, it seems that a section of the captain's intestines is rotten and needs to be removed, right?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, what kind of intestines are rotten, it's called the cecum, in fact, it's not the cecum, but a small section at the end of the cecum, called the appendix." Yu Jiaxi corrected angrily, "Your captain had appendicitis and came to Zhongshan Hospital for surgery, and I happened to be on duty that day, so I deliberately didn't give him anesthetic." ”

"Huh?" Yao Nianci covered his mouth when he heard this, and said, "Then he still has to die of pain?" ”

"I thought I'd punish this dude." Yu Jiaxi shook his head with a smile, and continued: "I deliberately cut him off with a knife without giving him anesthetic, and guess what?" ”

Yao Nianci said: "What else can I do, of course it's so painful that I screamed, it's similar to killing a pig, right?" ”

"He didn't scream, and when I cut it with a knife, his eyes were so wide." Yu Jiaxi gestured with both hands, which meant that Xu Shijiu's eyes were bigger than a bull's eye at that time, and the corners of his mouth also showed a smile that could not be concealed, more than a year has passed, and now when I think about it, it has become a sweet memory, "He stared at me with wide eyes like that, staring at me straight hairs, and only after the knife was stitched up did he remember to keep the tweezers in his stomach." ”

"Huh?" Yao Nianci listened to the root of his teeth tightened, and smacked his lips, "Then you can't open it again?" ”

"Whoever made him stare at me like that, he deserves it." Yu Jiaxi's tone had a hint of resentment, as if Xu Shijiu was standing in front of her, but soon said with some pity, "I made more than one mistake that day, such as a minor operation like removing the appendix, I usually completed it in a few minutes, but that day it was like an evil spirit, it took more than an hour, and when our director felt that something was wrong, I was doing the fourth incision suture for him." ”

"Oh my God." Yao Nianci covered his mouth again and asked, "He hasn't been called?" ”

"I didn't scream, he just stared at me like that until the end of the operation."

"Oh my God, how strong willpower should this man have? I was tossed by you like this without saying a word, and I don't know how many times I have died of pain. Yao Nianci was speechless when he heard it, Ergua's face was even more flushed, he screamed in pain when Yu Jiaxi cleaned his wounds just now, and he was really ashamed to die compared with the captain.

Yu Jiaxi continued: "Don't you know, after the operation, he still has the heart to say cool things to me, he said, doctor, what didn't happen this time?" If you want to pull down any valuables in my stomach, such as your heart and liver, I won't be responsible for compensation when I turn around, this villain made up my mind at that time. ”

Yao Nianci chuckled and said, "You really put your heart in his stomach."

Yu Jiaxi also laughed and said: "Later, our director told me that I knew that he was a combat hero of the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, and he was seriously injured several times, all of which were operated on by our director, and the most serious one was almost torn open by shrapnel in his chest. ”
