The camp was still burning by the bonfire, and everyone sitting together again put their harvests together.

What Nurse Ji picked up was a few wild vegetables and a handful of moss. Li Zhuang, Zhang Erwa and Monitor Liu seemed to have the biggest harvest. They dragged back the crown of another pine tree.

Glancing at the horse-fur camera case that Wei Ran placed in front of him, Squad Leader Liu opened his mouth without saying anything. He just asked, "Where is the little lama? Where has he gone?"

Before anyone could answer, the little lama wearing a bamboo hat also limped back from a distance.

"Comrade! Comrade! Comrade!" The little lama shouted happily while still some distance away.

Almost subconsciously, everyone stood up one after another. After getting used to the dizziness caused by hunger, they immediately helped each other and gathered around.

"What's wrong with your foot?" Nurse Ji asked with concern.

The little lama, who did not understand Chinese at all, showed his signature bright smile, raised the bamboo hat in his hand, and happily showed off his discovery.

"This little lama is really a lucky star!"

Squad leader Liu laughed and praised, at this time, the bamboo hat the little lama was holding contained a bunch of mushrooms!

Even Wei Ran from later generations can tell the difference just by the smell. These are most likely matsutake mushrooms, which are old and slightly open.

"Can this mushroom be eaten?" Li Zhuang asked subconsciously.

"Where did you find it?" Zhang Erwa also asked.

"Don't worry about this for now, help the little lama back quickly and see what's wrong with his feet." Nurse Ji said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Squad Leader Liu immediately took the bamboo hat from the little lama's hand, while Li Zhuang and Zhang Erwa helped the little lama back to the camp side.

After Nurse Ji carefully rinsed it with water, the dirt on the soles of the little lama's feet fell off little by little, finally revealing a wound that was the size of a cigarette butt and was still bleeding.

There was still a trace of sawdust left in the wound. Obviously, it should have been pricked by a wooden thorn, and the little lama had pulled out the wooden thorn himself.

"do not move"

Nurse Ji gave instructions, turned around and took out her satchel from the bamboo basket, took out a pair of small tweezers, put it on the charcoal fire and burned it for disinfection. After the temperature dropped, she carefully pinched the wound on the sole of the little lama's foot.

A piece of sawdust the size of a matchhead came out.

Putting away the tweezers, Nurse Ji then leaned down, and under the panicked gaze of the little lama, she put her cracked lips to the mouth of his dirty soles, sucked out a mouthful of blood and spat it aside.

Seeing Nurse Ji leaning down to suck out a second mouthful of blood from the wound, the little lama curled up his legs in a panic and tried to avoid it, while he stammered in a chant that no one could understand.

"Nurse Ji, let me do it." Squad Leader Liu said and grabbed the little lama's muddy leg, "How can a girl like you..."

“What can’t be done?”

Nurse Ji couldn't help but block Captain Liu, "It's up to me to hold him down. We don't have saline, so we can only rely on him to bleed more to flush out the dirt in the wound. Otherwise, if he gets infected,

I’m afraid it will be with Comrade Jiang Yu..."

When the topic reached this point, Nurse Ji closed her mouth belatedly, insisted on pushing Monitor Liu away, sucked out a second mouthful from the wound on the sole of the little lama's foot, spat out the third mouthful of blood, and then cut off another piece.

A small piece of tallow candle was applied to the wound.

This was not over yet. He then asked Wei Ran to borrow a kettle cup. After filling it with water, he put her spare leggings in and started cooking.

"Let's check everyone's physical condition first."

While waiting for the water in the cup to boil, Nurse Ji said, "Everyone, please wash your feet with rainwater and see if there are any wounds on your feet. This, like food, affects whether we can go out."

Nurse Ji said this. Even if they didn't care, Monitor Liu and others stretched their feet to the edge of the slope of the tent. They washed the stains on their feet with the rainwater flowing from it. By the way, they also helped the little lama to lift the other foot.

Wash it cleanly.

While everyone was resting on their elbows and putting their feet near the campfire to bake, Wei Ran and Nurse Ji frowned.

In comparison, Wei Ran's feet were definitely considered to have "fine skin and tender flesh". Because of this, his feet were not only the most wrinkled and wrinkled by the soaking, but also had more fine scratches.

The rest of the people were not much better. Ever since the little lama was pulled out from the mud last time, his original pair of straw sandal-style leather shoes had been left in the swamp and mire, not to mention that he had been injured just now.

In addition to the white blisters and wrinkles and relatively few scratches on their feet, Monitor Liu and Nurse Ji also had frostbite of various sizes.

"Besides straw sandals, we need a pair of decent shoes."

Nurse Ji said seriously, "Otherwise, if I keep walking like this, my feet will be soaked to death in a short time."

"Where can we find decent shoes?"

Zhang Erwa said with a bitter face, "Now we can hardly find the grass to weave straw sandals. Even if it is straw sandals, as long as they step into the mud, they will be sucked in within a few steps."

"There is a way"

As Nurse Ji spoke, she had already taken out her satchel. After looking at it, she said, "This satchel is barely enough to make two pairs of shoe soles. Together with everyone's spare leggings, it can always wrap the feet tightly. When the time comes,

Wearing straw sandals outside is always useful."

"That's it!"

As Squad Leader Liu spoke, he had already taken out his satchel and simply took out the two glass medicine bottles and put them aside.

Under the busy work of Monitor Liu and Nurse Ji, pairs of "shoes" were carefully cut out of these two satchels with a knife.

This so-called shoe is just a piece of thick canvas that can barely cover the sole of the foot. If you want to wear it on your foot, you need to wrap leggings from the toes to the heel, and wear straw sandals on the outside.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It’s hard for others to say, but at least Wei Ran admits that such a pair of simple shoes is much more comfortable on the feet than just wearing straw sandals.

At the same time, the leggings in the cup were also disinfected by the boiled rainwater. Nurse Ji then opened her bamboo hat, tore off a piece of the waterproof oil paper sandwiched inside, and smeared it on the branches of the tree.

After heating the rosin balls found on the street, they sealed the wound on the sole of the little lama's foot like a plaster.

Then he personally helped him wrap the foot with the canvas removed from the satchel and the leggings boiled in boiling water.

No matter from which aspect, Wei Ran had to admit that this little nurse who looked like she was only 20 years old at most had done her best with what she could find.

But he knew better that the other party's skillful use of the only conditions to treat wounds was really the result of the long-term lack of medical treatment and lack of medicine.

While she was dressing the little lama's wound, Li Zhuang and Zhang Erwa also used the materials they scraped together to protect their feet at the urging of Squad Leader Liu.

Fortunately, Nurse Ji was fair enough. Although she and Squad Leader Liu did not get the shoes made of satchels, she got the consent of the little lama, tore open his furoshiki, carefully dried it, and gave it to her

He and Squad Leader Liu also put on "cloth shoes".

After completing the protection of their own feet, everyone's attention naturally focused on the little lama and the mushrooms he brought back.

"With these mushrooms, we can have a good meal today."

As Squad Leader Liu said, he carefully washed the mushrooms with rainwater and threw them into the copper ladle. In such weather conditions, these mushrooms cannot be stored for long even if they are baked into dried mushrooms. In this case, they can be eaten while they are still available.

Getting it into your stomach as soon as possible beforehand is obviously the best way to deal with it.

"Little Lama, where did you find these mushrooms?" Li Zhuang asked the little Lama holding a mushroom.

Perhaps he guessed what Li Zhuang was asking, the little lama pointed in the direction behind him while speaking something in Zang language that no one could understand.

"Let's go over and have a look later"

Squad leader Liu said happily, "When we walk out of the grassland, I want to drag this little lama to the cooking class. He is more qualified than me, the squad leader of the cooking class! Look, my position as squad leader is not as good as letting him

never mind."

"I see, the little lama probably doesn't want to stay in the cooking class."

As Wei Ran spoke, he threw the camera holster onto the charcoal fire to roast, "Didn't you see that box gun was always strapped to his waist?"

"You don't want this camera case?"

Squad leader Liu did not answer Wei Ran's words about the little lama, but just pulled out the camera case that Wei Ran had just thrown into the charcoal fire.

"No more"

Wei Ran couldn't help but take the camera case back and throw it into the charcoal fire again. Watching the flames singe the horse hair on it, he said nonchalantly, "This thing is better than the belt. Let's take advantage of the fact that we are here today."

If we stay here for a day, we can cook it for a while."

"Alas..." Squad Leader Liu sighed softly, but remained silent.

Seeing this, Wei Ran didn't say much, waited for the campfire to burn the horse hair on the camera case clean, and after the leather case itself was slightly charred, he immediately took it out, picked up the anti-Japanese sword, and raised the knife with his hand to cut off the leather case.

The sleeves and leather lanyards were cut into chewable sizes and poured into the copper ladle that had already contained mushrooms, bark and wild vegetables.

While waiting for the pot to be cooked, everyone was busy. Wei Ran's anti-Japanese sword became the most useful tool. While it was constantly changing users, the tree crown brought back by Squad Leader Liu and others was chopped into sections.

Sections of firewood were scraped off and the edible bark was finally piled beside the campfire and slowly roasted.

Not only that, Squad Leader Liu also specially selected a piece of the most oily pine tree, baked it until it was dry enough that even the outside was burnt black, and then carefully put it into a brown glass medicine bottle that stored coarse salt, and kept it for future use.

Used as kindling or lighting.

Around noon, everyone finally had their first meal of the day.

In addition to the bark that had been cooked all night, this meal also included a few wild vegetables that were put in before serving, and the matsutake mushrooms that the little lama discovered.

While they were eating, the copper ladle was still boiling all the leather materials they had saved, as well as the new bark they had just collected.

The food in the enamel jar was put into the stomach in a few mouthfuls. Squad leader Liu took Li Zhuang and Zhang Erwa and continued to chop firewood with the anti-Japanese sword. Wei Ran called the little lama to the place where he found the matsutake mushrooms.

Look, Nurse Ji was left alone to look after the campfire.

After leaving the camp in the rain, Wei Ran finally didn't have to grit his teeth every step of the way because he had an extra layer of protection on his feet, and his speed was naturally much faster.

Under the leadership of the little lama, the two of them walked to the other end of the pine forest before stopping.

Looking at the humus at the root of the pine tree that the little lama pointed at, Wei Ran couldn't help but sigh.
