"Click, click, click"

The condensed water droplets under the raincloth hit the copper ladle that had long since lost its charcoal fire, making a series of soft noises.

"Click"

Another drop of water accidentally hit Wei Ran's eyelids, successfully waking him up.

Wei Ran squinted at the bright morning sun outside the tent. Sitting on the bamboo hat with his back against the bamboo basket, Wei Ran yawned. He turned to look at Nurse Ji, who was still lying on the bamboo basket, and Nurse Ji, who was also leaning against the bamboo basket.

The little lama and Li Zhuang.

Fortunately, the three of them were breathing very evenly, which made him somewhat relieved.

He took out the kettle filled with boiling water last night from his arms. He stood up carefully and looked at the wooden sticks poking at the other side of the bamboo basket to fix it.

.

He didn't know when the rain stopped last night. He only remembered that before the last firewood burned out, the four of them dried the water stains on their feet and first applied spores from horse manure packets to the wounds.

Then it was covered with horse oil.

After that, everyone held a kettle filled with boiling water, and soon fell asleep one after another.

Perhaps it was the herbs cooked by the little lama, or perhaps it was the kettle in his arms. Wei Ran was sweating all over last night, but he slept extremely comfortably.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the rising sun, which was already more than a punch above the horizon, and then subconsciously looked in the direction he was going.

Nearby, there is a vast expanse of meadows and swamps, but at the end of the field of vision, the ground surface seems to be slightly undulating.

only...

Wei Ran glanced at the comrades in the tent. He was not sure how Nurse Ji was recovering, and he was even less sure how far they could walk today.

Looking around, wherever he looked, he saw nothing of value except for the sporadic wooden sticks that served as road signs.

After a while, there was movement in the tent.

"Are you awake?"

Wei Ran squatted at the door of the tent and said with a smile, "It's a sunny day today, Nurse Ji, how do you feel?"

Hearing this, Nurse Ji, who had already sat up with the help of the little lama and Li Zhuang, touched her forehead and said, "The fever seems to have gone away, but I don't have much strength."

After saying this, Nurse Ji coughed.

“I’ll have some strength later if I eat some dried meat!”

As Li Zhuang spoke, he had already found the lunch box, took out eight pieces of dried meat from it and said, "We can't survive today. Each of us has two pieces to eat open!"

Li Zhuang's heroic appearance immediately made everyone smile. Nurse Ji took the piece of dried meat that belonged to her and put one into her coat pocket. Then she looked at the little lama and asked, "Little lama, last night

What did you feed me? Why is it so bitter?"

After she finished speaking, Li Zhuang immediately picked up the half of the herb left last night and shook it towards the little lama.

"Juna"

The little lama immediately replied in Zang language, "It's Zhuna, Zhuna!".

Pearl what is that?

Wei Ran and others looked at each other in confusion. Nurse Ji took half of the herb in Li Zhuang's hand and looked at it. Then she shook her head and said regretfully, "I don't know him either. I have never studied Chinese medicine."

"No matter what it is, the taste of this thing is really special." Li Zhuang smacked his lips, "It's bitter, spicy and makes your nose tick."

“Really special”

Wei Ran took the dried meat that belonged to him and took a big bite. Then he turned on the kettle and drank a large amount of water.

“As long as it works”

Li Zhuang said, returned the remaining half of the herbs to the little lama, took a bite of the dried meat, "Eat quickly, and set off as soon as you finish eating, and try to take advantage of the good weather to walk some distance."

"Is your body okay?" Wei Ran asked Li Zhuang.

"What can I do?" Li Zhuang, whose nose was still running clear, patted his chest and looked at the little lama again.

Fortunately, the little lama's face was quite rosy and he didn't look like anything was wrong.

But Nurse Ji...

Wei Ran and Li Zhuang looked at each other and got out of the tent on the excuse that it was too small.

"Nurse Ji probably doesn't have the strength to walk."

Li Zhuang said while observing the surrounding situation, "But this is not suitable for resting, and we don't have time to rest."

"What are you going to do?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice while chewing the dried meat.

"Wait a minute, I want the little lama to carry the pole."

Li Zhuang thought for a while and said, "You carry Nurse Ji and walk behind. Just say when you are tired and we will take turns."

"I have no opinion"

Wei Ran said cheerfully, there is no such thing as who suffers and who takes advantage. Although the person walking in front does not have to carry anything, he still runs the risk of being swallowed by the mire at any time.

"Then it's settled"

"As long as Nurse Ji has no objection," Wei Ran reminded.

"I will convince her," Li Zhuang said confidently.

After the conversation reached this point, the two of them also finished eating the dried meat in their hands. Li Zhuang also turned around and got into the tent, and informed Nurse Ji of the results of his discussion with Wei Ran.

"I disagree!"

Nurse Ji immediately said, "You're carrying me on your back. Just keep walking. Don't worry about me. I'll stay and rest. I can walk out on my own."

"My job is to get you all out."

Li Zhuang said seriously, "Nurse Ji, there are many soldiers outside waiting for you to treat injuries and save lives. It doesn't matter if you are willing to sacrifice yourself, but do you want to look at the soldiers outside in the grass waiting to die for lack of medical treatment?"

"I..."

"Comrade instructor taught you medical skills, and he definitely hopes that you can use them to treat illnesses and save lives."

Wei Ran looked at Nurse Ji and said, "There is no value in dying here. Going out alive to save more people will not live up to the sacrifices of Comrade Wang Zhen and Comrade Zhao Wanya."

"Then I'll walk by myself. I can walk by myself." Nurse Ji insisted.

"If you don't tell us, you'll slow us down."

Wei Ran said before Li Zhuang could speak, "If you have an accident on the road and don't get out alive, it won't make much sense even if we get out alive."

"Then it's settled!"

Li Zhuang made the decision before Nurse Ji spoke, "Come on, pack your things, we're leaving now!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Without giving Nurse Ji a chance to speak, Wei Ran and Li Zhuang started working.

This time, because he wanted the little lama to help carry the load, Li Zhuang deliberately put all the heavier weapons into the bamboo basket originally carried by Nurse Ji and carried it himself.

Similarly, Wei Ran, who was responsible for carrying Nurse Ji, also deliberately took out his camera and hung it around his neck.

In this way, the little lama only needs to carry pots and pans, raincloth blankets, and things belonging to Monitor Liu and Nurse Ji.

After some preparation, Li Zhuang stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Cooking class, roll call! Li Zhuang! Yes! Ji Chunlan!"

"Yes!" Nurse Ji, who was already lying on Wei Ran's back and tied with leggings, mustered up the strength to respond as loudly as possible.

“Jianpa Kelsang!”

"have!"

While the little lama responded, he first put a small piece of herbal medicine that was about the size of the knuckle of his little finger to Nurse Ji's mouth for her to eat, and then picked up the shoulder pole assigned to him.

"Wei Ran!"

"Yes!" Wei Ran, who was carrying Nurse Ji on his back, responded and put the bamboo hat on Nurse Ji's head.

"Let's go!" Li Zhuang gave the order, then bit off a piece of dried meat and chewed it.

"Yes" the three of them gave a unanimous response and took steps forward. However, this time, Wei Ran, who was carrying Nurse Ji on his back, walked at the end of the team.

However, after walking less than 50 meters, the swamp had already submerged everyone's knees.

We continued walking forward for less than 50 meters, and the water level was almost close to my hips.

"Wei Ran, quickly... let the little lama stop."

Nurse Ji, who was lying on Wei Ran's back, said anxiously, "The things in my bag must not... not get wet. The little lama's burden is... almost soaked in the water."

"Monitor Li, little lama!" Wei Ran immediately called out to the two people in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhuang, who was walking at the front, immediately turned around and asked.

"Nurse Ji is worried that her medicine jars and Monitor Liu's things will get soaked in water," Wei Ran explained.

“This is easy to say”

Li Zhuang signaled the little lama to stand up straight, found Nurse Ji's satchel from the basket, and then dug out several pieces of horsehide rope left over from making leather sandals.

While Li Zhuang was busy working, the medicine bottle containing the horse manure bag and the glass medicine bottle belonging to Squad Leader Liu were tied together with a leather rope and firmly tied to the iron hook at one end of the pole.
