Devil's Army

After interrogating the two spies, Leng Feng went to the Tieling County Hospital which was almost completed.

He Shiqi applied for a job at Tieling County Hospital on her own because she wanted to stay away from someone.

When He Shiqi worked with Yuan Wanting in the hospital, Yuan Wanting had been teaching her medicine. He Shiqi was very smart, and now, except for some major surgeries, she could basically treat minor illnesses and pains independently.

After the hospital is built, Yuan Wanting will bring people to work here. The tribal clinic will be left to Dr. Tan and his team.

Seeing Leng Feng coming, He Shiqi happily asked Leng Feng to sit down and poured him a glass of water.

Leng Feng stammered and said that he wanted He Shiqi to do him a favor.

He Shiqi smiled. What else could he do to help this great general? She said directly:

"Commander, if you need my help, just tell me. I will do my best to help you."

"Really?"

He Shiqi nodded affirmatively.

Leng Feng happily asked He Shiqi to go out with him.

The two of them came to a tailor shop in Tieling County. Leng Feng asked He Shiqi a little shyly:

"Your dean wants me to buy her a cheongsam. What style and size do you think would be suitable?" He had wanted to give her a gift when Yuan Wanting gave him a homemade ashtray. This time, he specifically asked He Shiqi to help him pick out a cheongsam for her.

When He Shiqi heard this, he knew it was obviously a lie. How could the dean ask him to buy a cheongsam? However, He Shiqi did not expose it and immediately helped Leng Feng choose a cheongsam.

Yuan Wanting's last cheongsam was a red peony pattern. This time, He Shiqi helped her pick a plainer cheongsam with a butterfly pattern.

Leng Feng happily asked the tailor to pack the cheongsam. But when it came time to pay, the tailor refused to take Leng Feng's money. He said his original tailor shop was blown up by the Japanese, and he was very grateful to Leng Feng for helping him repair this tailor shop.

Leng Feng said that all the shops destroyed by the Japanese were replaced by a new shop owner, not just his own. But the tailor owner was still unwilling to accept Leng Feng's money.

Finally, Leng Feng got angry and shouted, "It is an iron rule of our army not to collect even a single needle or thread from the masses. You asked me to buy a cheongsam without paying for it. Do you want me, the army commander, to make a mistake and be dismissed?"

When the tailor shop owner heard Leng Feng say that the consequences of not charging were so serious, he had no choice but to charge a little money as a token of his appreciation.

After leaving the tailor shop, He Shiqi happily said to Leng Feng: "Commander, the cheongsams here are much cheaper than those we bought in Fengtian. When can you buy me one?"

Leng Feng said happily: "Okay, I'll buy you a set next time I come over."

He Shiqi returned to the hospital happily, and Leng Feng and the guards returned to the tribe together.

When he returned to the tribe, it was already late. After dinner, Leng Feng took the cheongsam and went to the infirmary.

When they arrived at the infirmary, Yuan Wanting was writing something with her head down. When she heard the noise, she looked up and saw that it was Leng Feng. She asked:

"coming?"

"Yeah, here I come."

Then Leng Feng sat opposite Yuan Wanting, and he didn't know what to say.

Finally, Leng Feng broke the silence and asked, "How is the little soldier who came to deliver the letter last time?"

Yuan Wanting paused, shook her head and said, "He was too badly injured and lost too much blood. He couldn't be saved. He managed to get here on his own."

"Without him, the entire battalion would be wiped out. Deshengtai would also be reoccupied by the Japanese."

The two of them didn't say anything else. The office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Finally, Leng Feng mustered up his courage, handed the wrapped cheongsam to Yuan Wanting and said, "This is for you."

Yuan Wanting opened it and saw that it was a sky blue cheongsam. She asked happily, "How did you know my size?"

Leng Feng scratched his head and said, "He Shiqi helped me pick it."

"I'm telling you, wait a moment, I'll go change." After saying that, Yuan Wanting ran to the locker room.

After a while, Yuan Wanting, wearing a sky blue cheongsam, came out. She tilted her head and asked Leng Feng, "Does it look good?"

"It looks beautiful, really beautiful," Leng Feng said while staring at Yuan Wanting.

"Am I good-looking or are the clothes good-looking?" Yuan Wanting asked again.

"Don't ask anymore. If you ask me again, I'll be confused again." Leng Feng said with a red face.

Yuan Wanting laughed happily. This was the first time Leng Feng gave her a gift in all the years she had known him.

"Let's go out for a walk together." Leng Feng invited.

Yuan Wanting nodded and followed Leng Feng silently.

Today happens to be the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon is very round.

I heard that when the moon is full, many happy events will happen on Earth. I wonder if Leng Feng and Yuan Wanting will be one of them.

"The hospital in Tieling County is almost finished. Are you going there too?"

"Well, now that the tribe has become the hinterland, the probability of a war is low. It is inconvenient and time-consuming to send the wounded up during the peripheral battles."

"Well, it's better to move downstairs. Just be careful about safety issues."

"Tieling County is currently our defense zone, but it's not the front line, so there's no problem with safety."

"We caught two spies today. Fortunately, they were Mr. Zheng's men, not the Japs."

"The Fifth Brigade is well guarded. It shouldn't be easy for the Japanese to infiltrate, right?"

"Hard to say."

Who knew that a word Leng Feng said unintentionally during the conversation would come true.
