Chapter 113: Rushing to the Border (3)

The next morning, the recruits were awakened by the smell of meat, and they sat up to find the source of the scent, and saw an oversized bison roasting on the fire.

The veterans looked at this group of stupid recruits, laughed and shouted, "Get up, you will eat bison later, you haven't forgotten the rules you gave you yesterday, have you?"

After hearing this, the recruits replied in unison, "No, we haven't forgotten." ”

"That's good, we have our own reason to eat first, we are full, we can hunt for all of you again, if we can't eat, everyone here will be hungry together, we veterans are when you have no way, to create a way for you to live, this is the value of veterans. ”

"Just yesterday, if you were all full and we didn't eat, could you catch a bison for all of us early in the morning? You can't, but we veterans can, so it makes sense for the veterans to eat first, not to bully you, understand?"

After hearing this, the recruits felt that there was indeed some truth, if they let their group of people catch such a big bison, it would be impossible to do it, this time these recruits were also convinced, no longer secretly scolding these veterans, but had some envy and respect for the veterans.

The Commander also came out at this time, and sat down on a tall stone, and the veterans still took out a piece of the best meat and handed it to the Commander, who was not polite after remembering the beef, and picked it up and ate it.

The veterans saw that the commander had eaten it, and they began to eat the meat, and this time none of the recruits felt uncomfortable, and took it for granted, and after a while the veterans finished eating, and the recruits began to eat again, and this time they did not have to rob it, because the bison was big enough for everyone to eat.

When everyone had finished eating, the Commander ordered everyone to pack up their things and put their ranks in order, and the troops continued their march forward, and the procession walked down the steep mountain road, which was not as dangerous as the uphill cliffs, but it was not so easy to walk.

This belongs to the north slope of Changsamoto Mountain, and the team walked down the 60-degree slope towards the bottom of the mountain, because there was a heavy rain and hail yesterday, and the mountain road was a little slippery and muddy, and it was very difficult to walk.

Many of them fell down when they walked, and the recruits stumbled all the way down, and some accidentally hit the stones and scratched their clothes, and it took them half a time for everyone to finally walk down the mountain.

Most of the recruits lay down as soon as they came down the mountain, and they kept beating their legs, because they were both climbing the mountain, these recruits themselves had not exercised much, plus the long journey, their legs were swollen, very sore, and some of them scratched their legs when they came down the mountain.

When the commander saw this, he told them to rest in place for a while, and when the veterans saw that some of the recruits were injured, they found some herbs around them, and smashed them with stones, and gave them medicine.

Qiu Yu and the old brother who drove the car found a clean stone at this time and sat down on it, Qiu Yu didn't expect that going down the mountain was more tired than going up the mountain, he beat his legs and looked at the old brother who was driving the car.

"Brother, how long do we have to walk to Bite Ear Mountain?"

The old brother who drove the car calmly lit his cigarette pouch after hearing this, and took a puff, "It's quite far, we just crossed this Changxiangshou Mountain, the straight-line distance here is only dozens of miles, and we have to walk nearly eighty miles or so, brother, hurry up and take a break, we will have to walk forward in a while, the road ahead is much easier." ”

After hearing this, Qiu Yu smiled and nodded, "There are still eighty miles, it's so far, brother's right, let's have a good rest, save up enough physical strength to continue walking." “

After they had rested for half an hour, the commander gave another order, and the troops continued their march forward, and after they had walked for an hour, they were blocked by a river forty or fifty meters wide in front of them.

Qiu Yu turned to look at the old brother who was driving the car, and asked loudly in confusion, "Brother, aren't you on the road ahead of you? Why is there another river coming out of this? ”

The old brother who was driving the car held a cigarette pouch and replied with a disdainful smile, "What's the matter, it's just a river, what are you afraid of, and there will be no danger to your life, this is already easy to walk." ”

"Brother, you read it right, this is not a river, this river is very wide, okay, you don't think that there is no danger to your life, it is not a thing, right?" Qiu Yu looked at the old brother who followed the car with some surprise and argued.

After hearing this, the old brother who was driving the car smiled approvingly and nodded, "Brother, the children can be taught, people like us may face you and live at any time, what is it like this? ”

Qiu Yu had no choice but to smile helplessly after hearing this, at this time, the team began to prepare to cross the river, and the commander ordered an experienced and excellent veteran to cross the river first.

After the old soldier received the order, he took off his clothes, drank the old wine, tied the rope around his waist, and let the other old soldiers pull the rope just in case, and after he moved his muscles and bones, he slowly walked towards the center of the river.

The old soldier staggered into the river, only to see that the river was submerging his legs little by little, and then his waist, and the old soldier's body was staggered by the river, and soon his head was drowned.

The rope dragged by the veteran on the bank became longer and longer, and the rope shook with the current from time to time, and after a long time, the veteran did not show his head, just when everyone was anxious and worried, he saw a head in the river exposed, and then swam to the other side of the river little by little.

When the veteran reached the other side of the river, he found a big tree by the river, tied the rope on his body to the big tree, and then pulled it vigorously, and then beckoned to the people on the other side of the river.

At this time, the veteran on the other side of the river saw him beckoning, tied the rope to a big tree on this side, and then walked up to the commander and bowed his head and clenched his fists and saluted, "Lord Commander, we can cross the river." ”

After commanding Da Ru, he also walked under the big tree where the rope was tied, and pulled the rope with his hands, and when he found that there was no problem, he ordered everyone to prepare to cross the river.

The commander walked up to the recruits again and smiled at them, "You are recruits, it is a little difficult for you to cross the shore and tie the rope, now you pick up a ready-made one, who has the courage to cross the river first." ”
