[373] Returned with a full load
When marching to the periphery, the number of wild beasts encountered by the group was greatly reduced, for no other reason, in order to retrieve the meat that was laid down in the middle, they almost returned the same way, more than eighty percent of the wild things in the vicinity were eliminated by them, and the wild animals infested in other places would not set foot in the hunting range of other ethnic groups in a short time.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that they found a clearing not far from a river in the mountains where they could spend the night, and they caught only a few dozen pheasants and ducks, four roe deer, and six wild deer.
Roe deer, wild deer, which basically belong to wolves or jackals and leopards as prey herbivores, they have also hit some in the past two days, but because there are too many beasts around, most of the herbivores avoid it, and the number of them hit is not much, but this return trip is more than yesterday and this morning's harvest, obviously these herbivores found that the beasts around them have decreased sharply, and they came back to eat grass.
They probably didn't expect that there were not many fierce beasts left, but there were still people who were more fierce than fierce beasts here, and as soon as they appeared, they were cheaper than Qin Shuang and the others, and there were a lot of wild things that made up for it.
Venison, isn't it a big tonic, I'm afraid of nosebleeds if I eat too much!
Before arriving at the place where they stayed overnight, they had already put away the meat from the three 'meat storage points', and the elite team members watched Qin Shuang put away thousands of catties of meat again and again, from shock, shock, to numbness, admiration, and excitement, it only took less than two hours of effort.
After tidying up the area around the open space to make it easier to sleep, then pick firewood, start a fire, and pick more side dishes such as mushrooms and wild vegetables, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen respectively took out a lot of pigs and went into the water, let people take them to the river to wash them, and then fetch some water to come back, boil water to scald pheasants and ducks, and pluck them.
Because there are many prey and harvests, Qin Shuang is going to make them a little more hearty tonight than yesterday, use the pig to make a few Sichuan dishes with a heavier taste, and then make the pheasants into chicken stewed mushrooms and called flower chicken, although there are no lotus leaves in the mountains, but also let her find a kind of non-poisonous, but also with a little aroma of big leaves, take the chicken to taste very fragrant.
There are also half of them, and they use them to make soup, and they eat meat directly, for fear that they will make up for the overgrowth of these young men and will not be able to sleep at night, so let them drink some soup, and put some wild vegetables in it.
Because the usefulness of the backpack has been exposed, Qin Shuang took out all the kitchen utensils that were not taken out yesterday and were difficult to explain without any burden, and placed a row on the ground, pots and pans, all kinds of colors and materials, and the elite team members sighed enviously in their hearts after reading it.
It's so cool to have this magical ability! Not only can you take as much meat as you want, but you can also take so much with you! If they had this ability, they would not have to compress and compress as much as possible in their marching bags so as not to hinder their movements, and they would have to eat and drink as simply.
See how many other instructors and masters will enjoy! You can also bring a bunch of daily necessities with you when you go into the mountain for training, and you can treat yourself well after training, and show the combination of work and rest to the fullest.
When Qin Shuang, Ah Chen, and Salvia also followed to help, Situ Qing walked to the elite team members who were busy helping to light a fire and boil water, sat down, and reminded them in a low voice: "The secrets of those two people, no matter what you think in your heart, press it down for me, don't think about what you shouldn't think, otherwise, even the marshal won't be able to protect you!" Got it! ”
He didn't care if the crown prince and the crown princess were carrying heavy treasures, or if there was anything extraordinary about them, he only knew that these two were the most noble people in the Xuantian Kingdom except for those two, and their ability would definitely bring great benefits to the Xuantian Kingdom, thinking about him and his father, several lieutenant generals were wondering where the military salaries that the two Highnesses had brought were there, if there were doubts before, at this moment, that doubt was also solved with the exposure of the two highnesses' abilities.
Needless to say, they also know that the military salary, grain and grass must be carried by them 'on their bodies', so that they can transport a large amount of military supplies without knowing it without attracting anyone's attention, especially the red-blooded people, and can completely eliminate the possibility of being intercepted, how much impact can it have on the war situation?
It's that he doesn't want to suspect that these elite players may have some bad intentions, and in order to ensure completeness, he still has to beat them sternly to prevent them from doing anything wrong.
"You can see the true skills of those two and your instructors clearly, if anyone dares to leak half a sentence, or if some kind of ghost idea is discovered, you can imagine what you may do through those beasts that died in their hands." Situ Qing coldly glanced at the few people with some backgrounds among the elite team members, and specially reminded: "Don't think about finding any backing to support you, I can clearly tell you here, no matter what backers you find as backing, in front of those two, those so-called backers can only stand aside, and their identities are unimaginably noble to you!" ”
Xuantian Kingdom is already a big country that few countries can match, strong countries, the emperor and queen are very trusting of the crown prince and the crown princess, he really doesn't believe that if any of these people have a little bad thoughts, where can they find a backer who can compare to the two highnesses.
The elite team members, who didn't think much about it, didn't mind the beating of their captain, but through these three words, they started to gossip, and secretly guessed in their hearts what the identities of the two instructor masters were, and actually made the young generals, who were also from extremely prominent backgrounds, and their captains treat them so carefully.
Of course, some people whose brains are turning faster have already vaguely guessed a point, and Liu Liangzhou has basically affirmed the identities of Qin Shuang and Ah Chen.
Although Ah Chen's name is very ordinary, Qin Shuang has always been called the master by Tiandong and them, and Ah Chen also calls him Shuangshuang, and the elite team members don't know her full name, but with Situ Qing's cautious warning, some things are clear at a glance.
Not to mention that Situ Qing used the word 'noble' so obviously, under the whole world, there are also in the entire Xuantian Kingdom
Under that, how many people in the entire Xuantian Kingdom can be worthy of using this word? There are only relatives of the emperor and the country! Aren't the people in the royal family who can match these two people the most talked about and compete for the limelight during this time?
It was precisely because he guessed their identities that Liu Liangzhou became more and more shocked, couldn't help but take a breath, and looked at the two people who didn't have any shelves not far away, cutting meat and pickling, and secretly stammered.
If it's really those two, that's really ...... With the identity of those two highnesses, how dare they come to a dangerous and difficult place like the border pass, where war may break out at any time! The one at the top was willing to let the prince come over in person? What the hell is going on?
Could it be that there has been a big move from above recently, and a sufficient amount of people have been deliberately sent to shake the field?
There was not too far apart, Qin Shuang had Xiao Qi to help 'cheat', it was easy to hear Situ Qing's words knocking on the elite players, and after listening to it, he also told Ah Chen, Ah Chen glanced sideways at where the elite team members were sitting, and raised his head and smiled at Qin Shuang.
They didn't want to hide their identities for too long, and the elite team members would only be more convenient to carry out activities with them in the future, if nothing else, this first batch of 'special forces' would definitely be directly under the royal family in the future, or the prince, and the monarch would be under the jurisdiction of the dispatch, so that they could familiarize themselves with the future boss and facilitate their deployment of manpower, saving the time for running-in.
If they weren't doing this, why would they deliberately take the elite team members on such a trip? There is no need to personally let them see their strength, isn't it just to let the elite players completely obey them and obey their orders from the bottom of their hearts, instead of being unwilling, and there may be a mistake at a critical moment.
At present, it seems that the effect has been basically achieved, and I finally didn't toss such a trip.
It took a whole hour of time, dinner was finally done, the staple food is ten pots of fragrant rice, there are several large pots of chicken stewed mushrooms, called flower chicken, cold wild vegetables, the same pot of spicy fried fat sausage, double pepper fried pork lungs, celery fried pork liver, stir-fried pig heart, etc., and finally there is still a small fire to feed the nourishing wild vegetable venison soup, the menu can be described as rich.
The smell of the fragrance, as well as the appetite-grabbing appearance, all make the mouth flow.
Qin Shuang also took out more than a dozen buckets of fruit juice squeezed from the orchard of Ruyizhuang from his backpack, orange juice, peach juice, grape juice, watermelon juice, everything, as soon as the sweet taste appeared, the elite team members couldn't help but sniff, their eyes shining!
Fruity taste! It smells so good!
Not only is there a shortage of meat in the barracks, but fresh fruit is rarely eaten, because it is too easy to rot! The elite team often goes into the mountains during this time, and occasionally they can find a few wild fruit trees and eat some wild fruits, but most of the wild fruits are relatively sour and very small, which is not enough for these soldiers to stuff their teeth.
Like these juices, you can feel the sweetness just by smelling them! When they poured a large glass of juice into their mouths, the sweet smell of fresh fruit completely conquered them!
Don't say anything about the big man, who can like these sweet things, that's what only people who can eat fruit can say! Like them, they may not be able to eat fresh fruit a few times a year, even if they do, maybe not two soldiers with a little shriveled fruit, as long as they can taste it, they are happy to lose their teeth!
These juices are rarer than meat to them! After all, after the war, the enemy and the enemy will always lose some horses, and they can still eat some horse meat occasionally, but no one on the battlefield will have nothing to do with the fruit dangling!
Qin Shuang saw that they all liked to drink juice, and took out more than a dozen barrels, so that they could drink enough, anyway, there were at least hundreds of barrels of juice of each different flavor in her backpack, not the kind of small wooden barrel used to draw water, but a wooden barrel as big as a water tank, who let Ruyizhuang be nourished by fruit tree fertilizer, and the fruits in the orchard that were fruitful on every tree, except for a very small part of the fruit that would be given to some members as a gift for the sake of the festival, or let the guests pick it when they were engaged in activities, and most of them were internal consumption?
After leaving enough for the people in the village, she can save a lot of juice every year, except for the ones that are sold in the village, the rest are put in her backpack, and the juice of the fruits in half of the orchard is not surprising that the stock is a little more, and there are still a lot of juices squeezed after the fruits in the orchard last year were ripe.
I can always save a lot every year, this time I came back to the barracks, just to leave a batch for these soldiers to satisfy their hunger, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen were also a little negligent, no one thought of bringing them some fruit, as long as they can eat enough food in the ordinary military camp, they are very satisfied if they can eat more meat, who can think of the luxury of fruit?
Another half an hour passed, and the large amount of dinner that had been made was almost gone, and it was eaten by the elite team members, and there was no soup base left in several large pots of venison soup, and the pots were almost licked clean by them, and more than half of the juice was drunk, and only a little was left when they were ready to listen to the instructors' lectures' before going to bed.
All the elite team members ate with bulging stomachs, and some of them lay directly on the ground, touching their round stomachs and sighing, this is the most satisfying and happiest meal they have eaten in the past few years in the army!
It's Situ Qing, who has never eaten such a fragrant meal in the military camp over the years, not only because the portion is sufficient and oily, but also because Qin Shuang's craftsmanship is indeed superb, even if people feel that their stomachs are about to burst, they are still unsatisfied, and they want to eat this meal and think about the next meal.
After dinner, the pots and pans were cleaned, and it was completely dark early in the morning, and the elite team members gathered again to listen to several instructors of salvia to teach them various combat skills, and the process was basically the same as yesterday, and the people who kept vigil were replaced by another wave of people who did not keep watch yesterday.
If you want to talk about the difference, there are also, tonight I got Qin
At night, under Qin Shuang's orders, Hehuan and Baizhu did not sprinkle the medicine powder around them to drive away the beasts.
Don't think that they have killed a lot of fierce beasts, there is really not a single one left in this vicinity, only herbivores and small animals are left, and in the middle of the night it is also the time when wild beasts frequently come out to feed, and there is not only a group of fierce beasts hunting in a huge area, and it is impossible for all wild beasts to be hunted by them.
Without the dispel of the powder, tonight would not be as calm as last night.
But the elite players don't know this! All they knew was that most of them had not been able to sleep well last night because they were worried about a night attack by a fierce beast, but they slept until the next morning, only to hear that there was not even a single beast at all!
They wondered, maybe there were so many people here, and there were a dozen or so fires, and the beasts didn't dare to come when they saw the fire, right? Since they don't dare to come, will they be able to sleep well to replenish their bodies and relieve fatigue?
Today's battle was even more intense than yesterday's, and I had a particularly sumptuous and delicious dinner, and even when I listened to the 'lesson' in the evening, a few people couldn't stand it and took frequent naps, and by the time it was almost time, many people had already fallen asleep deeply.
Qin Shuang and Ah Chen looked at the sleeping elite team members, exchanged a tacit look, and showed a similar weird smile.
The long night, the deep mountains and forests are full of dangers, there are always large beasts reduced, it does not mean that there are none, and there are all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants that may be poisonous, how can anyone in this environment casually relax their vigilance and sleep soundly without worry?
Tonight, the elite team members of Heze will really experience this with their body and mind.
It's okay to let them relax for a night once in a while, but helping them solve the threat every night won't help them hone their skills, right?
For the next three hours, the elite players who slept soundly were almost tortured and physically and mentally exhausted!
I just fell asleep less than half an hour before I heard someone shouting loudly 'vigilance', and then woke up in a daze, and when I reacted, there was a night attack by a fierce beast, and even one or two breaths were delayed, so that several people were almost bitten by the sneak attack beast, and the wolf dodged and then launched an attack, and after all the beasts and jackals that came to sneak attack were killed, the team members who were almost bitten had their hearts pounding with palpitations, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.
Once this head is opened, don't expect to sleep well again, obviously there was nothing at all last night, but tonight in their eyes is also evil, at first I thought it was just a wave of unfortunate times, there should be no back, the result is a wave after a wave, jackals, wild wolves, poisonous snakes, although there are not many appears, but basically every half an hour to come a wave is really unbearable!
What's even more outrageous is that there is a blind bear behind it! It's a human life!
Or Danshen didn't want these team members to have no spirit to fight tomorrow, and his conscience found that he dragged Liu Tingfeng together to help take down the bear with the largest size and the most fierce combat effectiveness they had encountered in the past two days, and he also helped to guard it later, so that the elite team members barely made up for more than half an hour before dawn.
After a busy and exhausting night, the elite team members were more depressed the next morning than the previous morning, and they also found that going into the mountain with the instructors and their two masters was really an exciting experience that they would never forget.
The accidents they experienced were almost tired of them reacting, and they just thought that there should be no more unexpected things, but the reality slapped them so hard that they couldn't sleep all night, according to this contrast between the two nights, can they think that if they still spend the night in the mountains tonight, maybe they can be a little quieter for a night?
This, it probably depends on Qin Shuang and Ah Chen De's mood, they are happy, they may let the people of the elite team sleep well, a whim, or not only do not sprinkle them with repellent powder, but also deliberately make some bloody smell to attract more beasts.
But Qin Shuang didn't have no conscience at all, at least when she was cooking breakfast, she made a few pots of soup with ingredients for these poor guys, so that they would become more energetic one by one not long after drinking, to ensure that they would not make mistakes in the face of battle during the day.
Situ Qing and Liu Liangzhou both discovered the team members, including the two of them who should not have the spirit, and also thought of the few pots of soup in the morning, and their admiration index for Qin Shuang unconsciously increased by a few percentage points.
Situ Qing even thought that his younger brother had said that the crown princess and the people around her had superb medical skills, not to mention that they could come back to life, but they could also be called superb.
There are still a few patients in the barracks who were seriously injured in the last battle and have not recovered, I wonder if I can ask the crown princess to help me take a look after I go back, or communicate with the military doctors, improve the level of the military doctors, and save more soldiers in the future?
On the third day, because they were gradually moving towards the range of the elite team's regular activities, the danger factor was reduced a lot, and the large beasts only encountered two batches in a whole day, and the rest were some herbivorous deer, roe deer, and some pheasants and ducks.
With Ah Chen's mentions, on the third day, this group of people deliberately looked for snakes in the forest, more than eighty percent of them were poisonous snakes, some of which could paralyze people, and some could kill people instantly. They can only use pistols to catch snakes, and there are no pythons found in this forest, and even if there is, it is estimated that it is the deepest, and there are only some snakes that are the thickest and not thicker than the thickness of a woman's small arm, and many snakes that are particularly poisonous are only the thickness of a child's arm, or even a little thinner.
Because of their small size, even if the lethality of the empty cartridge is not enough, a blow can make the snake lose its combat effectiveness for a moment, and such a short period of time is enough for people to restrain them.
What's more troublesome is that this small snake is quite sophisticated about the shooting skills of elite officers, and if you miss a shot, you are likely to be caught, and being bitten by a poisonous snake is not a joke.
So don't look at the threat of large beasts, but in fact, on the third day, the spirit of the elite team members is more concentrated than the first two days, it can be said that they dare not relax for a moment, for fear that they will die if they are not careful, this is not that they think too much, in fact, there have been six or seven people bitten by snakes for most of the day, and they are all poisonous snakes, among which there are several highly poisonous snakes that can kill people by breathing.
If Qin Shuang hadn't prepared for a long time and let Hehuan and Baizhu bring a lot of antidote pills on their bodies, those people would have really left their lives in the mountains.
With the lessons of the past, others still don't have the spirit of 120,000 points?
By the evening, they had already come to the place where they had spent the night before, and put away the last batch of meat, counting the hundreds of snakes and snakes caught during the day, the total amount of meat they got had exceeded 100,000 catties! That is, hundreds of catties or even thousands of catties of meat are consumed in the entire barracks every day, which is almost enough to eat for more than a month! This is still the case of meat every day!
Even if they eat a lot of meat, it is not realistic to eat meat every day, if they eat it every three or five days, this meat is enough for them to eat for three or four months! During this period, they had nothing to do and went to the mountains to get some wild things, and without the help of the instructors, they could save up to ensure that there would be no shortage of meat to eat in the border barracks for most of the next six months!
Qin Shuang and Ah Chen have decided to go back to the barracks tomorrow morning, and the matter of the backpack cannot be known to everyone in the barracks, at least not for a short time, in order to hide people's eyes, Qin Shuang deliberately left more than 2,000 catties of meat, as well as hundreds of wolf skins, a few leopard skins, and when they got up the next morning, they let the people of the elite team carry more than forty catties and a few skins to pose.
The elite team members carried the meat, thinking that in fact, they had caught dozens of times more meat than this, and the beauty was bubbling on the return trip! As long as I think about the improvement of my strength, the increase in my mind and ability to resist blows, and the countless meat harvests, I feel that the exhaustion of the past three days is nothing!
Although looking back, the three-day experience can be called a bitter history of blood and tears, but if there are similar opportunities in the future, they are still very willing to do it again!
Look at the instructors who are no different from when they entered the mountain, they can't see the slightest wolf bèi, and their faces are full of lightheartedness, as well as the instructor masters, perhaps, when will they be able to practice this kind of calm and unhurried Cheng dù before they can really learn something, and have a little bit of strength to be a little proud, right?
……
"The elite squad is back!"
"Ahh It's so meaty! ”
"And a lot of skins!"
"It's almost all wolf skins, how many wolves do you have to fight! Gee! ”
"It's great to have meat again!"
"Drink! I think there are a few leopard skins left! I also hit a leopard, and it seems that I only reached two leopards half a month ago! ”
"I saw a lot of snakeskins! It looks like the skin of a poisonous snake! ”
"It's an elite squad! I just can't compare! ”
The return of the elite team was soon discovered by the rest of the special battalion, and the soldiers smiled excitedly at the fresh meat they were carrying, because it meant that they could eat some meaty dishes or soup again!
Although there are a lot of damage to the military uniforms on the elite team members, and they look much more wolf than when they entered the mountain before, there are also sharp eyes that find that the spirit of the elite team members seems to have changed significantly.
At first glance, they don't seem to be as strong as they used to be - because they have all learned to restrain their edges - but looking at their calm (numb) eyes, easy (weak) steps, you can feel that they are actually more than a little stronger than before entering the mountain!
It's just that this kind of strength is hidden by them, and they don't deliberately show it everywhere with a peacock open screen posture as if they were afraid that others won't know about it before.
And this kind of restrained posture, not to mention, makes people feel more unfathomable and more like a master! Well, they're actually real prospers!
Qin Shuang and Ah Chen deliberately came back with a walk, if they couldn't be reborn, these team members would be helpless.
The commotion on the side of the special battalion soon spread to the camp tent of the marshal of the middle battalion, and Situ Bo and the four deputy generals appeared in the school field not long after the elite team members put down all kinds of meat, and the first thing they did was to look at Qin Shuang and Ah Chen, and first make sure the safety of these two high-ranking highnesses.
After making sure that neither of them was injured in any way, the lieutenant generals finally let go of their hearts that had been hanging for three days, and they also smiled happily when they saw the meat piled up all over the ground.
The elite team members who were being questioned by other people in the special battalion noticed the expressions of the adjutant generals, and they all snickered proudly in their hearts, so they felt happy with such a little prey? When those two take out all the meat, these generals can't stop smiling?
At the end of the three-day high-intensity field training, Ah Chen directly told these elite players to let them rest for a day.
The other people in the special battalion who didn't know Ah Chen's identity were very strange how he dared to give the elite team a holiday casually, but found that not only did the marshal and the lieutenant general not raise any objections or show displeasure, but even the elite team members didn't seem to be surprised at all, and cheered very dryly, and laughed happily while thanking Ah Chen, obviously believing that as long as Ah Chen spoke, they could get it fake.
Looking at their instructors, none of them objected!
It's really evil! The ordinary soldiers of the special battalion are muttering in their hearts, they have been in the special battalion for several months, and they have never been able to take a day off, the elite team members have a higher training intensity than them, they get up earlier than chickens every day, sleep later than dogs, not to mention a holiday, today actually?
…… Actually, the sun is coming out of the west today, right? The people of the special battalion subconsciously looked up to the sky.
Of course it's impossible!
Possibly!
However, the elite team members did get a day off, which made the people of the special battalion envious, but when I thought about it, the elite members did seem to have undergone quite harsh training, and it seemed that it was nothing to take a break once in a while, anyway, compared to the people of the elite team, it was probably impossible for them to take a vacation as well.
After entering the mountain for three days and three nights before coming back, Situ Qing, as the captain of the elite team, had a lot of things to report to Situ Bo and the four deputy generals, and Qin Shuang and Ah Chen also had to find a suitable place to take out the military supplies they brought over, or at least tell the top generals where they put their things, so as not to panic every day.
After the elite team was disbanded, several instructors in good mental state of Danshen were still able to train the people of the special battalion, only Qin Shuang and Ah Chen and his party came from the capital, and Situ Qing followed them to the middle camp, and the meat piled up on the school field was also sent to the Huotou Army, and today they made a few hundred catties to give the soldiers a tooth sacrifice!
After arriving at the Shuai tent, Situ Qing first briefly talked about some of the situations they had encountered in the mountains for three days and three nights, including how many groups of different kinds of ferocious beasts they had encountered when they went deep into the dangerous mountains that they had not penetrated before.
Situ Bo and the lieutenant generals were all shocked by the thrill they had been in the past three days, but because Situ Qing didn't say how much meat they had gotten for the first time, they thought that although they had encountered a lot of beasts, they didn't meet a group of slaughterers, but they had only accumulated a total of the meat on the school field in the past three days.
There were only sixty of them in total, and the most beast group they had encountered was more than two hundred, not two hundred chickens and ducks, but two hundred wild wolves and jackals, and their combat strength was completely incomparable, even those who were as strong as the elite team, and it was not surprising that they had to retreat in front of the fierce beasts that were several times more numerous than them, but their combat effectiveness was almost the same.
Situ Qing had already guessed that they would definitely think like this, because in the past, every time the elite team came back from entering the mountains, the meat they got back was indeed in the interval between training, and when they encountered the beast herd, they only accounted for a small proportion of the meat they encountered, on the one hand, because it was really difficult for them to take down the entire beast herd without reducing their own combat effectiveness, and on the other hand, because there was too much meat for them to move, they could generally only hunt some wild animals on the return trip.
In order not to make them misunderstand further, Situ Qing immediately explained the total amount of meat they actually hunted, and the shocking news that they had basically killed more than eighty percent of all the fierce beasts they encountered.
Sure enough, the faces of Situ Bo and the four lieutenant generals changed suddenly, and Situ Bo even got up, stared at the tiger's eyes, and asked excitedly: "You say, you killed more than eighty percent of the fierce beasts?" And what about the meat? ”
It's not that Situ Bo wasn't shocked at how they could possibly kill all the beasts that totaled more than a thousand, it's just that he cared more about the meat that could improve the food level of the soldiers than these questions that could be asked slowly later!
The four lieutenant generals were two shocked by the elite team's unimaginable combat effectiveness this time, and the other two, like Situ Bo, were the first to think of meat! The guarantee is estimated to be tens of thousands of catties of meat!
One of them shuddered and asked, "Shouldn't you throw away so much meat because you can't resist it?" ”
This question is particularly unreliable when you hear it, are all elite players stupid?
