Chapter 70: The Road Meets the Medicine Picker
After Lin Xincheng listened to Xiao Qingfa's introduction, he didn't decide on the spot whether to take a detour or what, he wanted to see the actual situation in person, and then decide after reading it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After resting for a while, changing into a soldier's uniform without military rank, Lin Xincheng followed Xiao Qingfa, Li Yunlong, Liang Xing, Yu Tao, and a group of guards to reconnoiter the terrain in makeup. Climb up a low mountain beam and get down to the ground and look at the other side with a telescope.
Sure enough, the winding mountain road broke halfway through, and the gravel piled up like a hill. It is estimated that if there is no war, a thousand people may not be able to clean it up in a week. Xiao Qingfa said that only one machine gun fortification was found, and I don't know whether the devil removed the remaining few when he saw that the road was broken by rocks, or whether the mountains and forests were blocked and he couldn't see clearly.
In short, if someone were to be sent to clean up the rocks now, the devil would never look at it. Let the soldiers brave the rain of bullets to move stones, Lin Xincheng will not do such a stupid thing.
Calling Xiao Qingfa over, Lin Xincheng asked him: If we don't take a detour from here, how far do we have to go?
"At least a month to go!" Xiao Qingfa raised the index finger of his left hand.
"A month?" Lin Xincheng gasped! Marched for a month, just to get around this small dustpan mountain. It's a little too far, isn't it? If you can go back and forth in a day or two, maybe you can still think about it, and if it's a month, then you should think again.
Knowing the price of a long detour, Lin Xincheng picked up the telescope again and continued to observe the surrounding terrain. He didn't believe it, could there really be only one road in the small dustpan mountain? Since ancient times, there is a road in Huashan, but I have never heard of a road in Dustpan Mountain since ancient times. Look closely, and you might be able to find another path.
As a result, he looked at it for a long time, and his eyes hurt and he didn't see what it looked like a path. How many times has Xiao Qingfa seen it around here, if he really wanted to be able to see the path from the telescope, he would have discovered it a long time ago, and would he wait until now?
The investigation was fruitless, Lin Xincheng was not discouraged, and on the way back to the barracks, he still encouraged the generals around him: "Don't worry, big guys, there is always a way." I don't believe this little dustpan mountain can stop us here. I really can't do it, so I applied to the commander-in-chief for explosives, and used explosives to blow up the dustpan mountain! ”
Let's not talk about how much explosives are used to blow up the dustpan mountain, and the environmental changes that may be caused by blowing up a small mountain, let's talk about the intention and effect of Lin Xincheng's words. Lin Xincheng said this, undoubtedly to cheer up the big guys. Although the officers and soldiers around him knew that this was a joke, everyone's mood couldn't help but relax.
This is what Lin Xincheng learned from Ren Laifeng, no matter what the situation, as a commander, he must try his best to encourage his subordinates, make the officers and soldiers happy, and raise morale. Only in this state can we be confident in fighting and be ten!
Walking all the way back to the headquarters, the emotions of the officers and men were completely mobilized. When they returned to the headquarters, the people who stayed behind thought that they had found a way to break the enemy. Otherwise, they were still sad when they left, and they were all smiling when they came back after a while?
After a few turns around the headquarters, Lin Xincheng couldn't sit still. Originally, he was a person who could sit still, but now that he is in this position, he naturally has more problems to consider.
Lin Xincheng now finally knows how happy he used to be. Whatever went wrong, Ren Laifeng was on his shoulders, and he just had to follow the orders and do his part. Now he is leading the army and taking charge of himself. When all the problems were pressed on his shoulders alone, Lin Xincheng realized that Ren Laifeng was not easy to live normally.
There was something in his heart, and Lin Xincheng couldn't sit still. After walking around the headquarters a few times without a clue, he turned around and went outside. He took a few guards with him and walked to the place where the troops were camped. The New Tenth Army, plus the advance detachment of 20,000 or 30,000 horses, of course, had to find a place to set up camp. The place is not small, and their military camp is at the foot of the dustpan mountain.
There seemed to be a figure shaking in the bushes next to him, Lin Xincheng glanced at the place where the figure was shaking, and suddenly stopped. Seeing this, the guards immediately surrounded them, and everyone showed a vigilant posture. "Bench, what's wrong?" The guard squad leader asked in a low voice.
"Bring the man here. Be polite. ”
"Yes!" The warp and weft squad leader answered yes, asking the guards to be more vigilant, and he carried a gun alone and went to the direction where the figure in the bushes appeared.
The figure seemed to want to run, but how fast the guard squad leader was, the two sides were close, and he ran all the way to catch up with the man. After a while, he returned with the man. The man was wearing an old dark cotton jacket, a pair of old cotton shoes under his feet, and a small bamboo basket behind his back, in which I don't know what was put in.
Probably because the guard squad leader listened to Lin Xincheng's words, he was more polite to others, and there was no panic on the faces of the people who came. Of course, there must be a sense of restraint, and no one is comfortable with this situation. A group of soldiers, and they don't know each other, what good thing can it do to suddenly call themselves over?
"Fellow, what are you doing?" Lin Xincheng asked the fellow with a smile.
A smile is an attitude, a symbol of friendliness and kindness. The fellow also smiled when he was infected, "I came to the mountains to pick up some medicine when I was idle, and sold it for money." ”
"Oh? I'll see what medicine you've collected. Lin Xincheng suddenly became interested. The fellow took down the back basket, and Lin Xincheng rummaged through the bamboo basket, "Liao Xixin, gentian grass, and soul reviving grass are all good things." Yo, there's an old ginseng here! It's going to be 50 years, right? ”
"It's going to be at least seventy or eighty years." The medicine picker proudly defended, but after he finished speaking, he regretted it, and it was too late to regret it. In these days, the heart of harming others must not be dispensed without. It's hard to find a treasure of a little value, if the soldier takes it away, he will really feel distressed for half a month.
"Well, that's good. There are many wounded and sick people in our team, so you can sell us all these medicinal herbs, and you don't have to go to the market to sell them anymore. Rest assured, your money is indispensable. Lin Xincheng waved his hand generously, and a guard next to him took the bamboo basket. The guard squad leader took out the money and was stopped by Lin Xincheng, "I'll give it." ”
While taking out the money, Lin Xincheng asked the fellow who was collecting medicine as if chatting casually, "What is your surname, fellow, and what is your name?" ”
"My surname is Wu, my name is Wu Siba, and my family lives in the southeast of the bubble. There is an old lady in the family, just two of us. ”
