519: Xiao Niannian and Dr. Shen treated their comrades on the plateau together.

This morning was a three-kilometer run. The elevation here wasn't too high, so physical training was still required.

Over the past few days, because they had just arrived, they hadn't done too much physical training.

Xiao Niannian ran with the team, looking at the sky not far away.

The weather outside wasn't very good today; it looked like it was going to rain.

Shortly after finishing the three-kilometer run, large drops of water began to fall.

With a crackling sound, the rain grew heavier, and the Soldiers all returned indoors.

"Since it's raining today, we'll train indoors..."

Listening to the rain outside, they could also feel the wind blowing into the room. Although the house wasn't leaking rain, it was drafty. It was built with stone and wood, plastered repeatedly with mud on the outside. While sturdy, it wasn't warm enough.

Living in a place like this long-term, many Comrades-in-arms suffer from rheumatism. Furthermore, living on the plateau for too long leads to altitude sickness. They might lose hair, easily go bald, and develop heart and other health problems.

Xiao Niannian once saw a Comrade-in-arms from the Military Academy who had been stationed on the plateau for years, and after just a few years, he looked as old as her uncle.

She was deeply shocked when she saw that Comrade-in-arms.

She also felt great sympathy for the Comrades-in-arms stationed on the plateau, and she had done many things to help them back then.

Xiao Niannian looked at their somewhat dark skin and smiled.

"Instructor Xiao."

Seeing Xiao Niannian approach, the Team Members nearby greeted Instructor Xiao.

Xiao Niannian nodded to them and looked at Elder Brother and Lu Jing. According to the assignments from the previous days, each of them was leading a team.

"Although we are training indoors, none of you can slack off..."

Hmm, Elder Brother, when he gets serious, is very imposing and handsome.

"Comrade Xiao."

Hearing Military Doctor Shen's words, Xiao Niannian looked over.

Seeing Military Doctor Shen wave at her, she quickly walked out.

"What is it?"

"Didn't you say a few days ago that you planned to help the Medical Team here organize the pharmacy... and also examine and treat the Soldiers? It's raining today, which is perfect."

Hearing Military Doctor Shen's words, Xiao Niannian immediately agreed.

"Okay."

Military Doctor Shen went to fetch the medical kit and then had a soldier move some of the medicines he brought over to the Medical Team's quarters.

"Greetings, Leader."

Seeing Military Doctor Shen and Xiao Niannian wearing military uniform with four pockets, the two Soldiers inside immediately saluted.

Looking at the room, which was less than forty square meters, the medicines inside were pitifully few, and one Soldier was applying a kind of ointment there.

Xiao Niannian returned the military salute.

"This is Military Doctor Shen, and I am Instructor Xiao. We are here today to deliver medicine and plan to help you organize the pharmacy here. In the afternoon, you can notify the Comrades-in-arms to come for consultations..."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, the two Soldiers were overjoyed.

"Hello, Military Doctor Shen. Hello, Instructor Xiao."

Although they belonged to the Medical Team, during training and meals, they had heard that a team of Comrades-in-arms from the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade had arrived. Captain Lu, who led them, was very formidable, and the subjects they had trained in over the past few days were truly shocking and admirable.

"Captain Gu already told us. We are truly grateful to you."

"Military Doctor Shen, Instructor Xiao, tell us what to do. We await your orders."

"If there aren't enough people, we'll go call for help immediately."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian smiled and refused.

"The four of us are enough. The others don't know much about medicine."

The two Soldiers smiled and nodded.

"Instructor Xiao is right. Military Doctor Shen, Instructor Xiao, we will follow your instructions."

Military Doctor Shen spoke up and gave some instructions.

The two Soldiers immediately put away the medicines, and Military Doctor Shen also took a towel and basin, planning to thoroughly clean the entire area.

"Niannian, check these medicinal materials. If their efficacy has expired, set them aside separately and register them all..."

"Okay."

There weren't many medicines here, and after a busy morning, everything was sorted out.

Looking at the completely refreshed Medical Team quarters, the two Soldiers were extremely excited.

It wasn't that they hadn't cleaned before, but their cleaning was different from today's cleaning.

"Some cement will arrive in a few days. When it does, we'll repaint the walls here..."

Hearing Instructor Xiao's words, the two Soldiers became even happier.

"That's wonderful."

It wasn't that they hadn't thought about painting the walls; they had plastered them many times with yellow mud and tried to find solutions, but they couldn't produce cement. The amount of cement supplied to the Special Forces Brigade every year was limited. The Captain and the Political Commissar had written many reports and devised numerous methods.

"Military Doctor Shen, Instructor Xiao, you don't know, we lack everything here. Even the cement was obtained only after the Captain and Political Commissar sought it out through many means..."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian's eyes flickered slightly.

She knew how to make cement herself, but large-scale application would require many tools to accomplish.

Why not give it a try?

Xiao Niannian felt that it was time to improve the conditions here. At the very least, the Comrades-in-arms should live better, not in houses that let in drafts while they slept. They were eating coarse grains; apart from the first day or two when they had four dishes, they had only been eating two dishes the past couple of days. There was meat, but very little of it.

They truly lacked everything here.

"In a bit, I'll go find Captain Li and have them announce on the broadcast that anyone feeling unwell or suffering from chronic ailments should come for a checkup..."

Military Doctor Shen said to Niannian.

"Okay."

After a busy noon, Xiao Niannian ate and returned to the dormitory.

There wasn't much concrete flooring outside, and inside the houses, some areas were still dirt floors, not paved with cement.

Xiao Niannian saw many Soldiers with dirt or dust on their faces and bodies.

After showering and washing her hair, she washed her inner clothes. After her nap, she returned to the Medical Team quarters.

Seeing the long queue lined up in front of the Medical Team quarters, Xiao Niannian walked inside.

"Instructor Xiao, you're here."

"Niannian, that group of people is assigned to you."

"Okay."

The Team Members of the First Team were a little stunned to see Xiao Niannian sitting in the Military Doctor's seat.

"Instructor Xiao, you know medical skills too?"

Xiao Niannian nodded.

"In this day and age, one knows a little bit of everything."

Hearing Instructor Xiao's words, many Soldiers laughed.

"Instructor Xiao, you don't just know a little bit—you are extremely formidable."

In the line, there were still some teams who didn't know Xiao Niannian. Some had heard that Xiao Niannian was Captain Gu's biological younger sister. Now, hearing the Comrades-in-arms say this, they all started asking questions.

"What does this Comrade Xiao do?"

"Is she a Military Doctor too?"

"Why do you call her Instructor Xiao?"

A Comrade-in-arms immediately explained.

"Instructor Xiao is the instructor who has been training us these past few days. She is incredibly capable..."

"Huh?"
