In the small village where the 19th Brigade was stationed, laughter and joy were heard.

Xu Shijiu not only brought back the supplies that the officers and soldiers urgently needed, but also got a large wooden bucket for slaughtering pigs and big iron pots from the city. The big iron pot has been set up, and the boiling water in the pot is sizzling out. The hot water in the dozens of large wooden buckets has been mixed. More than 200 exhausted soldiers are lined up, waiting to take a hot bath.

The kitchen built on the ruins was also very lively. The firewood in the stove was burning, and the fire-burning chef's face was burning, but his mouth almost reached the ears. The stove was surrounded by half of the pork spread out on the large chopping board. The two gangs were chopping meat with kitchen knives and mixing noodles in a large basin. They would eat big meat buns tonight, and each person would take care of it.

However, the most happy people were the wounded. Because the captain brought back a medical team, not only had to clean the wounds for them, but also had to undergo surgery. The beautiful military doctor who had performed the surgery was also the captain's lover, and the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade were even happier. They sincerely were happy for the captain.

Li Zihan wrote in his diary: "When the captain brought back several carts, the brothers were so happy, especially the sixteen large wooden barrels that could accommodate two people to take baths at the same time, which made the brothers crazy. 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, and the captain's lover also came. Two young nurses with good looks came. All the soldiers from the 19th Brigade ran over to see it.

Li Zihan shook his head and smiled: "What's so good about it?"

Shu Tongwen also smiled and shook his head: "Then let's take a bath together."

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

The bathhouse is set up in a large ancestral hall with only four walls left at the entrance of the village. Sixteen large wooden buckets are placed in four or four, and a dozen large iron pots are set up by the river outside the ancestral hall. Not far away is the kitchen. The remaining soldiers are taking a hot bath, and they can smell the aroma of meat floating from the kitchen. Not to mention how beautiful it is.

The remaining soldiers did not have enough men, so they took buckets of boiling water and cold water into the ancestral hall. Before the hot water was filled, the next group of remaining soldiers had already taken off themselves and jumped into the big bucket naked. As a result, they were either scalded and screamed in pain or were frozen. The remaining soldiers lined up outside laughed and fell.

The headmaster Cao Mancang took out a set of guys from his backpack, but it was a row of shaving tools, including faders, scissors, two fast-grinding razors, and a sharpening cloth. Before joining the 19th Brigade, Cao Mancang was a barber who walked around the streets. He joined the army and served as a soldier, but he did not stack his skills.

At this time, Lao Cao's craftsmanship was very useful. Take a hot bath, repair your face and shave your head. For the exhausted soldiers, it was no less than a god-like enjoyment. More than thirty remaining soldiers who had been immersed in hot water immediately called out. This one said Lao Cao should shave my face, and the other one called Brother Mancang, shave my head.

Cao Mancang is a good man. From the first big bucket, he shaved his face and shaved his head one by one. Lao Cao's craftsmanship is quite good. As the razor flew, he was originally disheveled and dirty. He immediately became a strong young man with a bright face and a full-hearted spirit. He was even more powerful than becoming a living person.

A remnant soldier from the former guard battalion couldn't help but sigh: "It's better for our brigade leader. Although our brigade is good for the brothers, our military pay is never deducted and the food is improved from time to time, but it's still a little worse than the brigade leader. I heard that the brigade leader took out his guns to get the medical team back?"

Immediately, a Hubei rebel soldier responded: "It's not a big deal. The silly man who just arrived said that the captain had all shot the dean's head. After the matter was investigated, he would have to go to the military court. The dean said the same, but guess how did the captain answer?"

"What did you say?" everyone asked one after another.

"The captain said, Lao Wuzi's soldiers are waiting. As long as you save Lao Wuzi's soldiers, let alone go to the bullshit military court, you will never complain if you shoot Lao Wuzi!" Hubei's remaining soldiers were spitting and stern, but the remaining soldiers waiting in the bathhouse and outside were silent.

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

Including Shu Tongwen, the remaining soldiers turned their heads and glared at Cao Mancang.

Cao Mancang said as if nothing had happened: "After the Fujian Rebellion, our 19th Route Army was reorganized by the Central Army. The brigade leader had the opportunity to go to the Central Army to become the colonel leader. Sun Yuanliang prepared the letter of appointment, and he almost filled in the name of the brigade leader. But the brigade leader did not go because he was unwilling to abandon the more than 100 disabled soldiers who were eliminated during the reorganization."

While speaking, Cao Mancang skillfully pushed Shu Tongwen's hair with a fader. In a blink of an eye, Shu Tongwen turned from a unkempt little beggar with red lips and white teeth, and a handsome young man with bright and neat lips. Seeing that Cao Mancang had no intention of belittle Xu Shijiu, Shu Tongwen and the remaining soldiers slowly calmed down.

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

Cao Mancang said: "There was no choice at that time. The more than 100 disabled soldiers were seriously injured. Only Shanghai had the conditions for treatment. In order to raise money and medical expenses for everyone to go to Shanghai, the captain went to the big world all day long and dealt with the celebrities and socialites on the big stage. I wonder how many people pointed at him behind his back."

Shu Tongwen's lips were pursed, and the eyes 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 imagine that when Xu Shijiu entered and left these dusty places and was pointed at by others, he felt humiliation in his heart.

#########

The only intact house in the village that is temporarily used as a medical room.

The wound on Ergua's right calf had been infected and inflamed. Yu Jiaxi was treating him with anti-inflammatory treatment. Yao Nianci was on the side. In addition to Yao Nianci, Qin Yuzhen and another young nurse were rebanding the wounded soldiers who had eliminated the inflammation. In order to divert Ergua's attention and relieve the pain, Yu Jiaxi told him about how he met Xu Shijiu.

"I'll be your captain and you..." Yu Jiaxi's beautiful eyes flashed and soon fell into memories. "The first time we met was in the big world. At that time, I went to watch Sister Tang Ying and Xiao Wu sing Kunqu opera with a few sisters, but accidentally broke into the backstage. Seeing Sister Tang Ying Xiao Wu and a large group of socialites surrounding your captain and laughing, I thought at the time, this must be a playboy."

Ergua was amused and laughed: "Sister Jiaxi, what is the first impression the captain gave you is not good?"

Yu Jiaxi pouted and said, "The first impression you captain gave me was not bad, but very bad, so that the story happened when we met for the second time."

Now even Yao Nianci was intrigued and asked, "What happened to you when you met for the second time?"

Yu Jiaxi asked Ergua: "Do you remember Ergua? Did you go to the hospital last year?"

Ergua said: "Of course I remember, it seems that a piece of the captain's intestines have rotted and they need to be removed, right?"

"What 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 piece at the end of the cecum, called the appendix." Yu Jiaxi corrected indignation, "Your team leader has appendicitis and came to Zhongshan Hospital for surgery. It happened that day that I was on duty, so I deliberately didn't give him anesthetic."

"Ah?" Yao Nianci covered her mouth as she heard it, "Then won't he be in pain to death?"

"I was thinking about punishing this playboy at that time." Yu Jiaxi smiled and shook her head, and then continued, "I deliberately didn't give him anesthetics and cut it with one piece of cake. What do you think?"

Yao Nianci said, "What else can I do? Of course I screamed in pain. It's almost like killing a pig?"

"He didn't scream. I cut it with one stroke, but his eyes were so wide." Yu Jiaxi gestured with her hands, which meant that Xu Shijiu's eyes were wider than bull's eyes, and there was a hint of unconcealed smile on the corner of her mouth. More than a year has passed, but now it has become a sweet memory when she thinks about it. "He just stared at me with wide eyes, staring at me, and I felt so furious. After the stitch was stitched, I remembered to keep the tweezers in his stomach."

"Ah?" Yao Nianci's teeth tightened when she heard it, and she smacked her lips, "Then you must not open it again?"

"He deserves it if he lets him glar at me like that." Yu Jiaxi's tone had a coquettish voice, as if Xu Shijiu was standing in front of her, but soon said with some pity, "I made more than one mistake that day. I usually completed a minor surgery like the appendix removal in a few minutes, but that day it seemed like I was infected. It took more than an hour. When our director felt something was wrong, I was doing him with the fourth cut-off suture."

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

"He didn't scream, he kept staring at me like that until the operation was about to end."

"Oh my God, how strong willpower should this person have? He can't even say anything because of your troubles. I don't know how many times it has been." Yao Nianci was shocked when he heard it, and Ergua's face was even red. When Yu Jiaxi cleaned his wounds just now, he screamed in pain. Compared with the captain, he was really embarrassed.

Yu Jiaxi continued, "You don't know. After the operation, he still has the intention to tell me sarcastic words. He said, Doctor, what have you left behind this time? Doctor, what are you going to pull down valuables in my stomach, such as your heart, or something, I'm not responsible for compensation when I look back. This bad guy got my mind at that time."

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