Chapter 298: Clues
The sky in the east turned white, warmed up, opened the zipper of the tent door and walked out, and then turned around and closed the zipper, Zhuo's father was still asleep beautifully in the tent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Last night, the two of them chatted while drinking, and they chatted very late, so they had to pull Wen Xu to his tent to continue to lie down and chat, and I had to insert a sentence here, Zhuo's father's tent was much more spacious and comfortable than Wen Xu's own, and the two of them didn't sleep at all.
Although they talked a lot, Wen Xu couldn't remember what the two of them were talking about now, anyway, no matter what they talked about, the two of them avoided Zhuo Yiqing's topic intentionally or unintentionally.
After getting up and taking care of his personal hygiene, Wen Xu returned to the camp from the stream and saw that Qin Zhuangping had already gotten up and was about to relight the fire that had been extinguished.
"You go wash up first, I'll make a fire!" Wen Xu wrapped the toothbrush and toothpaste in the jar with a towel, and said to Qin Zhuangping.
Qin Zhuangping said with a smile: "Soon, it'll be fine soon!"
As he spoke, a withered leaf on the fire had ignited under the action of his manpower blower.
Qin Zhuangping casually put some small branches, and then added two large dead branches, which had been roasted by the fire all night, almost dry, and easily caught fire.
"Then I'll cook, what do you want to eat in the morning?" Wen Xu put away the toothpaste and everything, and the wet towel was carried to the big brown pannier.
Qin Zhuangping replied with a smile and sincerity: "I'm free, you still have to ask them, as long as there is food for me, there is no problem!"
"You can't ask them every day, so how about we have preserved egg venison porridge this morning?" Wen Xu asked.
"There are still preserved eggs?" Hearing the preserved egg venison porridge, Qin Zhuangping immediately asked in surprise.
"There are two or three more, and there is no way to eat too little and not enough to divide them alone, but it is still possible to make a porridge," Wen Xu said.
In the warm space, there is nothing to eat normally now, it is still a matter of minutes if you want to eat a preserved egg, and you can't eat the whole banquet of the Manchu and Han people, and there is no problem with home-cooked food Wen Xu.
Seeing Qin Zhuangping nodding, Wen Xu scooped up the rice and put it in the pot, put the shredded venison and boiled it first, then sat down by the pot, 'found' the last preserved egg from the luggage, peeled off the shell and divided it into small pieces with thread, almost twisted into cubes, and then threw it into the pot, put an appropriate amount of salt and boiled it like this.
"Boss, when will you send Boss Zhuo back to the camp today?" Qin Zhuangping sat back beside Wen Xu, listened to Zhuo's father's snoring, and then asked in a low voice.
"Let's wait for breakfast!" Wen Xu said.
Now Wen Xu found a small surprise, that is, no one ate the fried insects made last night, and he forgot to eat them after he fried them and buttoned the lid, and others didn't remember them, so he reached out and used a branch to pull some of the carbon fire that was about to burn aside, almost a small piece the size of a palm, and then put the pot of fried insects on the charcoal fire to simmer, and the nutrition of this morning was enough.
"Go and tell them to get up, wait for the meal, you go to our destination first, and I will take the pillars to send Mr. Zhuo back to the camp first," Wen Xu said.
Hearing Wen Xu say this, Qin Zhuangping didn't say much, and directly responded: "Okay!" and then stood up and began to call people to get up.
When these lazy men got up and took care of their personal hygiene, the porridge on the fire was just right to eat, so the camp soon sounded a sound of sucking and drinking porridge in the early morning.
Zhuo Dad was holding a bowl and eating porridge while looking at Wen Xu and Qin Zhuangping with a very disgusting gaze, not only Zhuo Dad alone, but other people also looked at the two of them with a disgusted gaze.
"Is it really delicious?" Zhuo's father couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Wen Xu and Qin Zhuangping's chopsticks flying in the insect pot like chickens pecking rice.
"It's delicious, it's not delicious, it's so hard to eat, it's crunchy, it's a bit like chicken, but it's much better than chicken, it's fragrant and delicate, and there's a little bit of a tree," Wen Xu said.
Qin Zhuangping had already gone down with three chopsticks when Wen Xu spoke, and when he heard Wen Xu say this, he also said: "This thing looks disgusting, in fact, it is almost the same as the larvae of the monkey, why are you disgusted with it when you eat the monkey?"
"Why are you talking so much? It's their loss if they don't eat it, it's just such a plate in total, isn't it good for us to add two to one and make five? You still beg someone to eat, I'm really speechless!" Wen Xu smiled and reprimanded Qin Zhuangping.
Zhuo's father didn't know whether he was curious or ostentatious at this time, and opened his mouth again and said: "When I was a soldier for quite a few years, I didn't eat anything in the old forests in southern Xinjiang!"
During this period of time, Zhuo's father and I have become a soldier and waiting for it to become his mantra.
After speaking, probably to show his 'courage', he stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a worm that was deeply fried, and when he was halfway through, it seemed that he had gathered enough courage, and he quickly threw it into his mouth and began to chew it seriously.
"Uh-huh!"
After eating a few bites, I was immediately conquered by my taste buds, and soon put a chopstick in my mouth, waiting for the third chopstick, it was not a clip one by one, just lie flat and go into the basin to pick up fried insects, five or six chopsticks.
Everyone who didn't eat it saw Zhuo Dad's way of eating, and they all moved their hearts one by one, and when they tasted it, their eyes lit up.
To put it bluntly, there is not much difference between the taste of people and monkeys, they are all high-protein things, and after this fried, they are accompanied by a little salt, which is not delicious, which is strange.
Wen Xu saw everyone's expressions, sighed and said, "It's over!"
After speaking, I didn't have time to say anything else, so I quickly put the fried insects in my mouth.
Originally, two people ate it and three people grabbed it, and finally it became everyone who grabbed it, and a pot of fried insects was swept away within three or four minutes.
"It's so delicious!Uncle, let's go get some more in the morning" One guy didn't have a good time, and while stretching out his chopsticks to pick up the worm scum in the basin, he strongly recommended to Wen Xu.
"What to eat, wait for me to send Mr. Zhuo back to the camp in the morning, we will search the last place, if it goes well, we will be home by this time in four days," Wen Xu said.
Zhuo's father said in surprise: "Who said I want to go back?"
"What if you don't go back?"
Now it was Wen Xu's turn to have a headache, and said in his heart: You can't be so unreasonable, when you came, you said that you would have a drink and camp, how can you rely on me now, everyone has a little sense of integrity.
"Anyway, I'm going to follow you this time, and besides, you know, I feel very uncomfortable psychologically when this happens, and it doesn't matter much if it doesn't matter, but after all, it's not that it doesn't matter at all, right? Then again, even if I return to the big camp, I will feel a little guilty when I see the parents of those children, I have to do something to make up for this guilt, don't you say that's the truth?...... "Zhuo Dad's side still has a little bit of a sense of going online."
"You don't have anything to deal with in your company?" Wen Xu thinks that you can't be so idle as a president, don't you show up in the company for more than ten days, and the people below are not allowed to rebel?
Who knows that Zhuo's father replied: "The company will not be able to leave me? Then what kind of company is this, what should I hire them for? I can't get it myself! In the matter of the company, I have always believed that we must learn to let go of the daily operation, and as the CEO, we must learn to outline and lead, and I must focus more on grasping the general direction!"
Saying that, Zhuo Dad raised his hands and gestured vigorously, I have to say that the shape is quite like this.
It's a pity that Wen Xu's belly scolded: I don't think it's a matter of thinking about the outline all day long, and my mind is full of thoughts about who will drink down at night.
I have to say that there are few people who are poor in business, and after talking about it, Wen Xu has not come to speak in a hurry to oppose it, and the others have an expression of 'leave him', which makes Wen Xu very depressed.
"It's okay to stay, it's still that one, you must listen to my command, don't run around, report everything, don't fall behind, even if you want three seconds to pee during the march, you have to say loudly to me or the person next to you, if something goes wrong, I will be the first to call the helicopter to pick you up, okay?" Since this burden can't be shaken off, Wen Xu has to solemnly announce the rules of his team again.
As soon as Zhuo's father heard that he could stay, he immediately nodded with a smile and replied, "Yes, no problem!"
Zhuo Dad is so lively, otherwise he wouldn't be addicted to bars, and now he stays in the big camp or in the town, he can't drink too much wine, let alone call friends to drink, and he doesn't look at what time it is, isn't this an eye medicine for others? But Zhuo Dad's side doesn't matter for a day or two, suppressing the evil fire in his body, but after ten days and eight days, where did he suffer?
"That's okay, let's clean up after we finish eating and let's go!Guangzhi, wait a while, you can brew the rest of the porridge into some warm water, feed the big white and big brown, and after feeding this, give the two guys two fresh eggs each, and replenish the nutrition!" Wen Xu said.
Guangzhi nodded in agreement.
"Zhuangping, you and everyone clean up the camp, remember any garbage and the like, don't leave me even a palm-sized candy wrapper here," Wen Xu said.
"Got it!"
In this way, it took about forty minutes to finish eating, all the preparations before departure were done, everything was packed and distributed on the backs of the big white ox and the big brown donkey, and the team officially set off.
It was not Qin Zhuangping who opened the road today, but another young man, Qin Zhuangping led the big brown to walk in the third, Guangzhi led the big white cow to follow, Zhuo's father was at the bottom, Wen Xu was the last to postpone, and the whole team marched towards the established destination.
It is quite difficult to meet people in the old forest, just four or five miles square, there are several search teams, it is difficult to meet, sometimes it is estimated that it is three or four hundred meters so passing by, neither team will realize that one team has slid past their side.
Dogs can bark, but no one really understands dog language, in the old forest the dog does not bark one or two hundred times a day is abnormal, unless the reaction is intense, or the dog barks twice no one will pay special attention.
After a day and a half of travel, Wen Xu's search team arrived at the intended location, which was a full half day longer than originally expected. This is because there is no river on the map, and the water in that section of the river is still very deep, and the river surface does not stop seeing whirlpools from the bottom of the river.
Wen Xu was not interested in risking a loss, so he led his team down the river, and when the water level was relieved, he crossed the river.
As soon as the camp raised a few eyebrows, Wen Xu heard a group of boys start yelling.
"Uncle, I'm going to find bugs"
"Uncle, I'll go too!"
"The caterpillar I'm looking for, I'm addicted to it!" Wen Xu said with a smile: "Be honest, do what you should do!" Now is the time to do the right thing, although the hope is small, but we still have to go through this piece step by step," Wen Xu said.
Just as Wen Xu was training people, Qin Zhuangping's voice over there rang out: "Boss, boss, come and have a look!"
Wen Xu walked towards him when he heard this, and after taking two steps, he saw Qin Zhuangping take down a strip of cloth on a branch, a strip of cloth is a rare thing in the forest, but this strip of cloth is even rarer because it is also decorated with two sequins on it, which is not the clothing worn by people in the mountains or the search team.
"Damn, it can't be such a coincidence!" Guangzhi followed at this time, and couldn't help but say in surprise when he saw the strip of cloth.
"This is a piece of Lin Xuwen's clothes?" Zhuo's father's essence came all of a sudden.
Qin Zhuangping immediately poured a basin of cold water on everyone: "It's hard to say now, it can only mean that some of these people have been here! If they are not nearby, it is difficult to say whether they are left by others!"
"That's right, everyone in those people is almost like this, dressed as if they are going to the Spring Festival Gala, and the whole person is shining brightly!" someone said.
Wen Xu said: "No matter what else, let's eat here and work after eating! Zhuangping, when we finish eating, give the cloth to the dog to smell, and we will divide into three teams to search in a fan shape."
For this strip of cloth, Wen Xu suddenly had a hunch, maybe he really had a blind cat touching a dead mouse this time, maybe he could really get some bonus back, and it was naturally better to live, even if he took a step back and found a corpse, it could be regarded as an explanation to their family.
A clue that was not sure whether it was a clue or not made the whole team immediately excited, and everyone finished eating as fast as possible, and then began to search separately in groups of two.
