Chapter 235 Gathering People’s Hearts
Chapter 235 Gathering People’s Hearts
When Lu Cheng returned to the shelter, he saw that the entrance of the shelter was surrounded by people, and the smell of meat was wafting from the yard.
"What's going on? Everyone, make way!"
When the defeated soldiers saw the gun in Lu Cheng's hand, they quickly retreated to the side.
After the crowd retreated, Lu Cheng found that there were also several soldiers in the yard, blocking the door to prevent those people outside from rushing in.
Seeing Lu Cheng coming back, these people also breathed a sigh of relief: "Commander, you are finally back. Those guys outside are just coveting our meat."
Lu Cheng turned his head and glanced outside the courtyard: "Alright, let's all go. If you want to eat meat, go and fight for it yourself."
Although those people were somewhat reluctant, they were frightened by Lu Cheng's power and still dispersed.
Lu Cheng had no intention of inviting other defeated soldiers to come in and eat the meat. There were too many defeated soldiers here. If he let these people in, more people would come later, and the two wild boars would not be enough to share.
Moreover, letting the defeated soldiers who followed him eat the meat first would highlight the difference between them and other defeated soldiers, and would also make them more grateful to Lu Cheng and cherish the opportunity to become Lu Cheng's soldiers.
The pig-killing dishes in the yard had just been prepared, but A Bao kept holding the gun, not letting everyone eat first, waiting for Lu Cheng to come back.
Now, as soon as Lu Cheng came back, these defeated soldiers immediately cheered: "Battalion Commander, the dishes are ready, just waiting for you to come back, please try them."
Lu Cheng took the new pair of chopsticks handed to him by A Bao, picked up a piece of pork and tasted it. The taste was so-so.
In fact, the skin and meat of adult wild boars are rough and thick, and the meat cooked from them is not very delicious.
But Lu Cheng still nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "Not bad."
Ah Bao immediately took out a clean new bowl, scooped a bowl for Lu Cheng first, and then handed Lu Cheng two white flour cakes: "Captain, you eat first."
"Okay, let's all eat together. Be careful and don't overeat."
"Thank you, Captain."
A group of people sat together and ate from the same pot, and they felt more identified with Lu Cheng, the battalion commander.
While they were eating, Ma Dazhi, a Guangdong Army soldier nicknamed "Snake Butt," asked, "Captain, what should we do with the remaining pork and offal?"
"Let's do this. The weather is quite hot now, and the meat can't be kept for a long time. Take out half of it tomorrow and sell it at the market. The money we get in exchange for food should be enough for everyone to eat for a while. Make the rest into bacon and store it for later consumption. Cut off four or five pounds of the better ones for me to keep. Also, prepare the pheasants and rabbits and eat them in the next two days."
"Yes, battalion commander."
Hearing that Lu Cheng had considered everything for them, the defeated soldiers were even happier.
After dinner, Lu Cheng took some medicines and a knife, scissors, and needle and thread for surgery and showed them to Meng Fanle: "I have everything ready. It's night time now and the light is not very good. I will perform surgery on you at noon tomorrow to heal the injury on your leg."
Seeing this, Meng Fanle immediately became excited: "Thank you, Battalion Commander."
Lu Cheng stood up and walked to the first floor of the east wing. Veterinarian Hao in the room was feeding several wounded soldiers. He put the pork that he was reluctant to eat into the mouths of one wounded soldier after another.
"Veterinarian Hao, there's some left in the pot for the wounded soldiers. You should eat some too. Don't be reluctant."
"Thank you for the boys, sir."
"You're welcome. We are all brothers who eat from the same pot. Besides, I have studied medicine. I will check on everyone tomorrow. If there is any cure, I will try to cure it for everyone."
"Thank you, sir!"
The several wounded soldiers in the room also hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
These wounded soldiers were basically left to fend for themselves, and no one cared about them except for veterinarian Hao. They were naturally excited to hear that Lu Cheng was still going to treat them.
In fact, the five or six wounded in the room were not seriously injured. Those who were seriously injured could not have survived until now and had died long ago.
These wounded soldiers did not receive any treatment due to the lack of medical care and medicine. Their wounds were allowed to fester and become inflamed, and eventually their minor injuries turned into serious ones and they died.
As long as Lu Cheng can heal these desperate wounded soldiers, they will definitely become Lu Cheng's loyal fans faster than those ordinary soldiers.
After arranging everything, before it got completely dark, Lu Cheng came to Chen Xiaozui's house carrying a piece of pork weighing five or six pounds, and knocked on the door a few times according to the method he had agreed with Chen Xiaozui.
Soon, Chen Xiaozui opened the gate from the inside and saw Lu Cheng standing at the gate: "Brother Lu."
Lu Cheng glanced at Chen Xiaozui and said, "Next time, don't rush to open the door. Ask who is standing outside."
"Brother Lu, didn't you say that you would knock three times and then four times? I remember it all."
"That won't work either. What if someone else finds out? You have to be on guard against others. Okay, take the meat back and close the door. I'm leaving now."
Lu Cheng handed the pork in his hand to Chen Xiaozui, turned around and left.
Chen Xiaozui was holding the heavy pork in his hands, looking at Lu Cheng who had already walked to the entrance of the alley, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
The next morning, Lu Cheng got up early and went out to exercise.
I slept on a wooden board covered with hay last night, and it wasn't a very comfortable sleep.
Moreover, the snoring of the fleeing soldiers around was heard one after another, and many of them had fleas on their bodies. The environment was really bad.
After running all the way to the woods outside the village to practice boxing and build up his physical strength, Lu Cheng returned to the shelter for defeated soldiers.
When we came back, the chefs had already prepared the meal.
After Lu Cheng finished eating, he assigned some work to them and asked several people to carry some pork and offal to sell at the Dongmen Market.
Lu Cheng himself stayed at the shelter and checked the wounds of every wounded soldier. Then, in less than 10 minutes, he performed a minor operation on Meng Fanle, cleaning the ulcerated and inflamed parts of the wound, disinfecting and sterilizing it, applying the special trauma medicine that Lu Cheng had made in his previous life, and skillfully sutured the wound.
This series of operations dazzled everyone, and Veterinarian Hao was even more impressed: "Sir, your skills are really amazing. If I had your level, I wouldn't have to watch those kids suffer..."
Lu Cheng glanced at Veterinarian Hao: "Veterinarian Hao, can you read?"
Veterinarian Hao nodded, and Lu Cheng directly took out a "Field First Aid Manual" and handed it to Veterinarian Hao: "Take this and study it carefully. It should be useful."
"Okay, okay, thank you sir."
The battlefield first aid manual that Lu Cheng handed over was compiled by himself and some doctors in the world of Embroidered Spring Blade. It was all in traditional Chinese characters, with detailed pictures and texts, and there was no publisher or printing date. It only talked about some of the most common battlefield first aid knowledge, usually for entry-level military doctors.
At that time, I stored two books in the cross-border backpack. Since the manuals were very thin and did not take up much weight, I kept them there and did not clean them out in the last world. Now it is a good opportunity to take them out and give them to Veterinarian Hao.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng checked the injuries of some other wounded people, performed surgery on three who were relatively lightly injured, and then provided preliminary treatment to the other three.
"Okay, that's it for now. I'll go back and find some medicine. I'm sure I can cure you all and make you full of life again."
"Thank you, sir. You gave us this life. From now on, we will follow you."
"From now on, call me Battalion Commander."
"Yes! Battalion Commander!"
After finishing all these, Lu Cheng went to the clothing store in the city and bought himself a set of ordinary clothes and two pairs of new cloth shoes. He also bought two bars of laundry soap at the grocery store, and came to Xiaozui's house and gave all his dirty clothes to Chen Xiaozui to wash.
Chen Xiaozui was very happy when he saw Lu Cheng bringing him clothes: "I will wash them for you right away, and then send them to you after they are dried. From now on, let me wash all your clothes."
Lu Cheng was not polite: "Okay, I'll trouble you in the future."
"It's no trouble, no trouble."
In fact, letting Chen Xiaozui help wash his military uniform was a kind of protection for her.
Of course, it was mainly because Lu Cheng was used to being served and was too lazy to do laundry...
