C184 Difficult Situation

The second lieutenant scratched his hair again and said with some embarrassment, "Major Ye, don't look at the lush vegetation here, but the water is scarce. If you want to take a bath, you can only go to the military vehicle in front to carry it. There will be water sent over every day, but the supply isn't much. "

"How can that be? When I came here before, didn't I see a lake?" Yung Qianxia was a little curious.

"You said the one at the foot of the mountain. That is a saltwater lake. It cannot be used at all. The climate here is dry. It is not bad to have a lake at the bottom. If you don't believe me, open the curtains and look behind."

As she spoke, Yung Qianxia pulled open the tight curtains. Sure enough, compared to the verdant greenery at the front, there was a desert at the back. It was not much different from Zhu Ba Airport. Looking around, it was full of yellow sand and sparse vegetation. There was no end to it.

Yung Qianxia hurriedly stuffed the oil curtains tightly. No wonder she felt that there was a layer of yellow sand on the ground.

"Don't open this window. Firstly, it is not safe. Secondly, it is full of sand outside. The temperature outside is even higher than inside."

After the second lieutenant gave his instructions, he left.

There were a total of seven people this time, but all of them were sleeping in a small house that was less than 20 square meters. Yung Qianxia did not mind, but living with Ye Hui, she was afraid that she would be in endless trouble in the future.

There was no other way. Yung Qianxia chose a place that was furthest away from Ye Hui and sat down. Soong Ru chose to sleep on Yung Qianxia's upper bed and the rest of them also made their own preparations.

"I will give you ten minutes to pack your things and then gather outside. I will assign tasks and clean up this place."

Ye Hui's speed was very fast and in a short while, she had already laid out her bed and indicated for everyone to move faster.

Although Yung Qianxia was somewhat unconvinced in her heart, she still had to accept Ye Hui's various abilities and could not help but increase her speed.

Medicine was a scarce resource here and Yung Qianxia was in charge of cleaning up the expired medicine. She also arranged the medicine that she had just brought from the country in the original order and it seemed to be easier than dragging the table. But where should the medicine be placed? Sometimes, it was just a word or two difference in English. However, the difference in effect was like heaven and earth. If there was a mistake, it would be fatal.

Ye Hui gave this kind of task to her. Just thinking about it made her objective simple, but Yung Qianxia did not refute. She believed that as long as she was careful, she would definitely be able to do it.

"Ms Qianxia, look at this. Where is it placed?" Soong Ru, who was standing on the table, took out a bottle of English medicine and asked in distress.

"This is antibiotics. Put it over there." Yung Qianxia took a look and said.

Ye Hui came in with two buckets of water. Seeing that Yung Qianxia was fine standing there, she said, "Second Lieutenant Yung, everyone's hygiene has not been completed yet. If you are fine, then I will trouble you to help carry the water."

"Ms Qianxia just finished arranging the medicine and can't she rest for a while?" Soong Ru felt injustice for Yung Qianxia.

"Second Lieutenant Yung Qianxia, are all the military officers in the capital so undisciplined? Called the officer's name directly, disrespected the officer, and disdained the officer's orders?" Ye Hui's slender body stood at the door with a proud look on her face.

" You... "

Soong Ru still wanted to refute but Yung Qianxia gave her a look to signal for her to speak less and to shut her mouth first.

"Major Ye misunderstood. I will carry the water now."

With Soong Lengge's lesson, Yung Qianxia naturally would not go against the wind and commit a crime. She let Soong Lengge find a reason to send her back.

Although it was said to be clean water, Yung Qianxia found that there was still quite a lot of yellow sand inside. A gust of wind blew over and the yellow sand on the ground rolled up, confusing her eyes.

Yung Qianxia took two clean buckets and followed the direction Ye Hui pointed to to to fetch water.

"Second Lieutenant Yung, you wear this."

The second lieutenant who was patrolling at the medical camp handed Yung Qianxia a pair of sunglasses and said, "The wind and sand are very strong here. You definitely can't go over like this. Didn't I see someone bring a few sunglasses over? Why aren't you wearing them?"

Yung Qianxia did not know about this at all. Thinking about Ye Hui's smiling expression before she left, she was afraid that she did it on purpose again.

Yung Qianxia put on the sunglasses and her eyes immediately felt much more comfortable. She said, "Maybe I didn't notice. Thank you."

After walking for more than ten minutes, Yung Qianxia asked a few more officers before finally arriving at the place where the water was served.

The two buckets of water were not heavy. Yung Qianxia tried to carry it a few times. Luckily, she gritted her teeth and walked for more than half of the journey. During that time, there were people who wanted to help Yung Qianxia carry it up but she rejected them.

Soong Lengge might be watching from somewhere. If she could not even pass such a simple test, she did not know how Soong Lengge would laugh at her.

After dividing the water three times, Yung Qianxia finally carried the water up.

When she went up the stairs, Yung Qianxia saw a pile of cacti in an abandoned medical kit. In the hot desert, it was actually so full of life. It really wasn't easy.

Yung Qianxia felt pity and used her hands to hold some water. She poured it on the root of the cactus.

The water disappeared very quickly and Yung Qianxia was not willing to give up. She poured a few more water on it before the sand showed signs of moisture.

Yung Qianxia also had a smile on her face. She wiped the sweat on her forehead and a sense of satisfaction rose in her heart. If it was not for the thorns, she really wanted to touch it.

"Second Lieutenant Yung is usually so caring?"

Liu Cheng, who was in charge of patrolling, also stopped when he saw Yung Qianxia's actions. He felt that Yung Qianxia's actions were a little funny, but also... a little cute.

Yung Qianxia was also a little embarrassed when she was seen by others. She stuck out her tongue and smiled as she said, "It's not like that. It's just that looking at such a hot day, it can still live so well. I just feel admiration in my heart."

"Survival of the fittest. That is the desert. The only ones who can survive are these cacti."

Liu Cheng said and carried the gun behind his back. He lifted the water for her.

"There's no need. Colonel Liu, I can do it myself." Yung Qianxia saw this and quickly ran over and said.

Liu Cheng had already lifted the water and looked at Yung Qianxia. The latter's eyes shifted. He also looked forward and said, "It's fine. I am also heading in this direction."

"That is really troublesome." Yung Qianxia became more and more embarrassed.

Yung Qianxia had been following Liu Cheng for a short distance. She asked, "Are you and Major General Soong from the same military?"

"Yes."

Yung Qianxia did not think too much and nodded.

"Then you should know his temper. In the future, if you have nothing to do, you should not provoke him. You are lucky today and he did not punish you. Next time, you will not be so lucky."

Major Liu Cheng, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke a lot and reminded Yung Qianxia.
