During the Long March, Lu Chan experienced a famous battle, "Flying to Capture the Luding Bridge". It was also in this battle that she gained a better understanding of life and faith.
In May 1935, in order to get rid of the pursuing enemy, the whole army selected 22 soldiers to carry out an assault. Braving the hail of bullets and the iron chain covered by the wall of fire, they stepped on the iron chain to seize the bridgehead and fought with the troops on the east bank. Encircling and occupying the Luding Bridge, the Long March has been going on for eight months, and it is also one year since Lu Chan came to this world.
The army's food reserves are getting less and less. In order to survive the next journey, the cooking team makes the food into bread that is easy to store, and only eats two meals a day. The soldiers will dig some wild vegetables to improve their food during the march. When we got to the snowy mountains, things got worse. The food came second, and the cold was the difficulty that needed to be solved urgently at this stage.
In the logistics department, Lu Chan and Li Chunyan, who know how to needle and thread, were seconded to mend cotton-padded clothes.
"The hole is too big to close. I need to cut a bigger piece of cloth."
"There is less cotton wool in the interlayer, why don't you add some hay."
"There is not enough grass, and there are not enough shoes."
The cloth shoes of many soldiers have long been worn out, and now they wear hand-woven straw sandals, bare feet, no socks, and even bare feet. No one can bear to see them, but they insist on not falling behind. Lu Chan guards the system that can be exchanged for items, but can't do anything for everyone, so she often feels sad and guilty, and sometimes looks away when she accidentally sees it.
Lu Chan's recent task is to help the soldiers mend the old torn padded jackets, marching during the day, and sitting together with the electric lights at night to stay up late.
The eldest sister Ding Guixiang who was in charge of sewing stood behind Lu Chan and looked at it for a while, then nodded her head and praised, "Xiao Lu's craftsmanship is really good, the stitches are thin and dense, have you learned it?"
Lu Chan kept moving her hands, and smiled back, "I learned it from the elders at home, and I have to make everything I wear and use by myself. Maybe I learned it after practicing."
These days, almost every household is like this. Clothes are expensive, and most ordinary people can't afford them. Besides, thrift is a fine tradition, and even the chief's clothes, shoes and socks are patched.
Sister Ding joked, "If you don't want to leave, we are short of people."
Li Chunyan joked at the side, "Sister, Xiao Chan has many skills, and she is also a good hand in our health team. You can't compete with our company commander."
Lu Chan is the most proud soldier under Zhang Lianchang, and he can be trained with care.
Sister Ding was just joking, how could she not know Lu Chan's importance in the health team
If there is a shortage of people in the army to sew and mend, it is not enough to be short of people to see a doctor.
Under the light of the fire, the shadows of the people were clearly printed on the tent. It was already midnight, and a young soldier in military uniform came over, holding a kettle in his hand, and opened the door. When the cool breeze came, he quickly stepped into the tent and closed the curtain , it was really Mu Wanfeng who came.
The entire military camp knew that Mu Wanfeng liked Lu Chan, so as soon as he appeared, everyone smiled and looked in Lu Chan's direction, without saying anything, but with rich expressions.
Mu Wanfeng greeted everyone first, and then walked straight to Lu Chan. Lu Chan was busy with her hands and couldn't stop. She continued to move without interruption. excess thread.
Mu Wanfeng watched quietly, and passed the water bottle in her hand after she finished her work.
"The hot water just poured, it's too cold, drinking more hot water is not easy to catch a cold, and you can cover your hands when they are cold."
Seeing everyone's snickering expressions, Lu Chan glanced at him and finally took it, and found that it was warm to the touch, not hot at all.
In the past few months, the relationship between the two has become much closer than before. Mu Wanfeng also confessed his love once, but Lu Chan declined on the grounds of the short time of acquaintance and the twists and turns of the revolutionary road. However, he did not give up because of this, and still loved Lu Chan. Chan is very good and will carry out her determination to the end.
Lu Chan asked strangely, "Why haven't you rested so late?"
Mu Wanfeng found a rock and sat down beside her, "Today I will lead the patrol."
As he said that, he stretched out his right hand in front of Lu Chan, pointed to a cuff with an open thread, and asked her with a smile, "The thread is open, can you mend it?"
Lu Chan looked at the thin coat that was already frayed, and sighed slightly in her heart, with a hint of admiration. After all, he gave up a life without worrying about food and clothing and resolutely devoted himself to the revolution. Like all Red Army soldiers, he was the cornerstone of the victory of the revolution.
"Of course you can make up, but don't you feel cold if you only wear this little?"
It was the glorious spring when he left home, and he went out wearing a thick coat. Because he was not sure whether he would be able to join the army smoothly, he only brought a change of clothes in his luggage.
The summer was fine, but in the winter we were already on the Long March Road, and we were walking on a small road far from the town. If the logistics team hadn't found a way to purchase a batch of quilted clothes for the soldiers, they might have froze to death.
In this regard, Lu Chan was much smarter. She exchanged thick sweaters from the system early on. Everyone thought they brought them from their hometown, so they were warm throughout the winter.
Although it is not winter now, the mountains are continuous, the snow does not melt all year round, and even the air is filled with cold winds. What is more difficult is that there is no way to camp on the snowy mountains, and there is no firewood to live on. Apart from quickly climbing over, there is nothing left. Other methods, which is why a group of female soldiers who know needlework sewed the cotton-padded jacket overnight.
Lu Chan didn't let Mu Wanfeng take off his clothes, and cut a piece of suitable size from the scraps of fabric, and began to mend it directly with his outstretched hand, similar to the method of sealing a book cover, covering the entire raw edge with another piece of cloth.
This posture not only tests the level of the stitcher, but also tests Mu Wanfeng's endurance. After all, there is no support under the arms, and it is still very challenging for the muscles to maintain the same posture, but Mu Wanfeng does not feel tired at all, and even enjoys it. He looked at her with fiery and tender eyes.
She lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast fine shadows on her eyelids. She fixed the fabric with her left hand, and twisted the silver needle with her right hand to turn it up and down, and then neatly measured seams appeared on the fabric.
It was the first time for Mu Wanfeng to see her from such a close distance, so close that he could clearly smell the faint fragrance from her body, it smelled very good but he couldn't tell what it was.
The back of the hand was sewed, and then it came to the direction of the palm. Mu Wanfeng finally couldn't hold back, curled up his fingers and gently held hers, and the warm touch was passed on to each other. Lu Chan's heart skipped a beat, worried about how many people there were. With a glance, he withdrew his fingers and continued to move, faster than before.
Mu Wanfeng was also startled by his own actions. It was completely out of thinking and subconscious behavior. Before he could be happy for that brief touch, he began to worry about whether Lu Chan would be angry, and he was very nervous.
