Chapter 395 What kind of monsters are these from the Northeast? They risk their lives to earn credit
"Sister-in-law, you know so much!" Xia Zhao's eyes sparkled with admiration.
Qiao Manman laughed heartily: "I'm not as good as my grandpa! Well, you should go back and do some ideological work with them, and get your health in order so that you can better serve the country."
"Okay, I'll tell my sisters."
The two hurriedly ate their meal, and just as they put down their bowls, Hua Sui arrived with her girlfriends.
Qiao Manman took a spoon to serve them rice, but Hua Sui said, "Sister, you sit down, I'll do it!"
Qiao Manman didn't insist and handed her the spoon.
Hua Sui tactfully served each person half a bowl. No matter how much Qiao Manman tried to persuade them, Ma Dandan and the others shook their heads: "Just a little bit to fill our stomachs is enough. There are still many colleagues who haven't eaten!"
Qiao Manman was very touched. She watched them walk away and asked Xia Zhao to help clear the dishes.
While she wasn't looking, he added a few bags of white rice and flour, as well as soybeans and brown sugar, to the pile of supplies.
Before you knew it, the head chef was back.
Qiao Manman took Xia Zhao away, and on the way she gave her a bag of dried meat: "Eat well, don't starve yourself."
Xia Zhao nodded: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
On the mountain, Lu Yuan and the others took advantage of the rain to desperately fight the fire. He knew that Qiao Manman was creating an opportunity for them.
But the fire had been burning for so long, stretching for hundreds of miles, that it wouldn't be easy to extinguish in a short time.
According to the person in charge, people have already been arranged to dig a firebreak on the other side.
Lu Yuan and his men were well-protected and acted very bravely, advancing at an extremely fast pace.
After extinguishing the fire in front of them, someone was left to keep an eye on it to prevent it from reigniting.
Then they split into two groups and went in two directions to help the local garrison and the villagers.
"Comrades, you're amazing! You brought the fire under control as soon as you arrived!" a villager exclaimed excitedly.
Lu Yuan frankly said, "We just arrived and are full of energy. Plus, you've worked so hard for so long to bring the fire under control. The weather was also kind to us. It would be strange if the fire hadn't gone out."
The villager felt relieved by his words: "Yes, we've been working on it for two days. Look at my hands, they're covered in blisters!"
Lu Yuan said, "We brought a team doctor with us, and we have special medicine for treating burns and scalds. Come find me after the fire is completely out, and I'll apply the medicine for you!"
"Hey, no need, no need, just go back and prick it and let it heal for a couple of days!" With that, the villager closed his eyes and fell straight to the ground.
Lu Yuan caught the man quickly, put his finger to his nose, and rubbed his nose—he wasn't breathing.
I quickly gave him a small rejuvenating pill and carried him a distance away to perform CPR.
The people around were extremely anxious, but dared not stop to watch. They could only keep putting out the fire while glancing in this direction.
They accidentally burned their hair with the flames, making them wince in pain.
"Don't get distracted, our deputy commander knows how to do first aid!" Lu Yifeng said, taking control of the situation.
But everyone was still worried, so they thrashed around a couple of times and turned to look.
Fortunately, the villager was lucky and recovered in just two minutes.
"Cough cough cough, what's wrong with me?"
"I was so exhausted I fainted!" Lu Yuan pulled him up. "The ground is hot, get up quickly!"
The villager finally came to his senses, cried out "Ouch!" and jumped up from the ground: "It's so hot! My back is burned!"
Lu Yuan comforted him, "Go down the mountain and find Qiao Manman, she has the medicine!"
"No, no, I still have to put out the fire. I can hold on!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone with red eyes urged, "Third Uncle, you should go back quickly. What will happen to Sister Shiliu if something happens to her?"
"Yes, yes, there are so many people here. You should rest before you come back!"
The villager looked at Lu Yuan, and seeing him nod, he left, turning back every few steps.
I thought to myself that I'm usually in good health, so how come I just collapsed like that?
What he didn't know was that if he hadn't gone up the mountain, hadn't absorbed the energy of the spring breeze and rain in the air, hadn't fainted, and hadn't been given the Minor Rejuvenation Pill to improve his heart and lung problems, he would have died suddenly in just a few days.
It just goes to show that good deeds are rewarded. This fellow villager changed his fate of dying young through his own efforts.
As dawn broke, the fire reignited, but it was controlled and unable to move forward. After burning intensely, it slowly dwindled in size.
Faced with this bizarre situation, the group of people were both excited and frightened.
Lu Yuan opened his mouth, just about to say something to boost morale, when he saw the young man who called him "Third Uncle" suddenly kneel down on the ground.
"God, it must be God who heard our prayers and came to help us!"
Upon seeing this, everyone else also knelt down and said, "Thank God! Thank God!"
Lu Yuan smiled and thought that there was some truth to that.
My wife is a fairy. Guided by the Goddess of Fertility, she uses her supernatural powers, which can be considered as following the will of the heavens!
"Hurry up and put out the fire. When we get back, I'll treat you to dinner!"
A promise boosted the soldiers' morale, and they charged desperately into the inferno.
The villagers who were still kneeling in worship were dumbfounded: "Aren't they afraid of getting burned?"
Holy crap, that guy's hair was on fire, and he actually touched his scalp and charged forward again.
Is he an Iron Man?
The "Iron Man" is definitely not made of iron; he simply believes in Qiao Manman's abilities and isn't afraid of getting injured.
As for the pain, the Little Rejuvenating Pill solved it perfectly, leaving the other soldiers dumbfounded. They thought to themselves, "What kind of monsters are these guys from Northeast China, risking their lives to earn merit!"
"Brothers, let's go! We can't let our comrades from the Northeast outdo us!" Chu Xin roared, leading his men into battle.
Despite the pain in their hearts and lungs and the burning sensation on their skin, a group of people rushed into the sea of fire.
Lu Yuan grabbed Chu Xin: "Why are you making trouble? Let's go outside!"
"Don't stop me! If you're not afraid to sacrifice, so are we!"
Helpless, Lu Yuan explained to him, "We applied ointment before we went up the mountain; that stuff can prevent burns!"
"Keep it up! How could something so amazing exist? If it did, your team's kid wouldn't have gotten his hair singed!"
"If he didn't have some means of self-preservation, would he dare to continue charging after burning his hair?"
"If you really want to do that, go down the mountain and ask Qiao Manman for the ointment. Wait until you have proper protective gear before coming back up to fight!"
Chu Xin still didn't believe it, but a voice came from afar: "Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Yuan, your team doctor brought you some ointment!"
Lu Yuan thought it was Qiao Manman who had arrived, so he ran over, only to find the young soldier who had led the way for Qiao Manman.
How is my wife?
"It's great. There's food and drink down at the foot of the mountain, and they even took the time to make some ointment for me to bring up."
"Hurry up and apply it! Comrade Qiao said time is almost up, don't delay!"
Lu Yuan nodded and called his comrades over to apply the ointment to their bodies.
Seeing them taking off their clothes, Chu Xin was speechless: "What are you doing? You're delaying the firefighting!"
Upon seeing the skin underneath the clothes, which hadn't even turned red, she immediately changed her attitude: "Quick, quick, give me some too!"
Good heavens, my hands look like roasted pig's trotters!
Lu Yuan glanced at the portion Qiao Manman brought over and nodded: "Get the brothers over here, let's try to put out the fire today!"
"Okay, thank you very much, Deputy Commander Lu!"
