Chapter 72: Crossing the Meadow (2)
"You take care of this comrade-in-arms, I'll stew some wild vegetable soup. I'm afraid he's already starving. Feng Ying said to Yao Huang and went to look for dry firewood. Yao Huang took out the iron needle he had with him, smashed it into the shape of a hook with a stone, and then tied it to the stick with a thin rope, and a simple fishing rod was ready.
Yao Huang noticed that there was a small pond nearby, and she thought that there might be fish in it, so she decided to try to catch it, if she could really catch it, it could also improve the food, and also add some nutrition to the little warrior.
When Feng Ying came back, he was only slightly surprised when he saw Yao Huang's actions, so he smiled and went to make a fire, hoping that Yao Huang would catch a fish.
The broken basin was filled with water, and Feng Ying was about to throw all the wild vegetables into it, but was stopped by Yao Huang's voice, "Sister Yingzi, don't throw them all down, just throw the shepherd's cabbage and bellflower down and cook it." “
"For what?" Feng Ying asked incomprehensibly.
"Shepherd's cabbage replenishes deficiency and strengthens the spleen, and bellflower can relieve fever, sedation and inflammation, which should be of some use to this comrade-in-arms."
"Okay, little girl, I know a lot." Feng Ying praised.
Yao Huang smiled and said, "When I was sick in the past, the main family didn't give me a doctor's treatment, but it was the old people in the village who taught me to use these wild vegetables and weeds to boil into water and drink, which can really cure the disease." If it weren't for the neighbor's aunt who saw her pitifully and boiled some herbs for her to drink, the little girl was afraid that she would die early and would not be able to wait for the revolution or Yao Huang's arrival.
Feng Ying sighed pityingly, they were all from poor families, but her situation was much better than Yao Huang's, and her family would not sell her to other people's families as a child daughter-in-law.
Follow Yao Huang's instructions. Feng Ying threw two wild vegetables into the pot, and then walked to the little warrior's side. Because of the relationship between the fire and the blanket. The little warrior's body temperature began to warm, and his breathing gradually returned to evenness. Helped the little warrior tuck the blanket. Feng Ying stepped aside, used his stick to dig the soil little by little, dug a small pit, and buried the dead warrior.
"Sister Yingzi, a fish has been hooked." Yao Huang's cheerful cry came from the other side, and Feng Ying hurried over, only to see a palm-sized fish hanging from Yao Huang's simple fishing rod, and the silver scales were shining with silver.
"Really caught?" Feng Ying opened her mouth in surprise, wondering if she could catch a fish. She didn't have too much luxury, if there was really fish, wouldn't the troops in front have caught it a long time ago, and they would still starve?
Yao Huang smiled, "My luck is good! ”
"Indeed, the little girl's luck is really good." Feng Ying was very happy, took the fish, and did not scrape the scales, nor did she lose the internal organs and gills. Just put it in the pot and boiled it, and it didn't waste it at all.
Yao Huang removed the rope from the stick with an iron hook and put it into the blanket, and in addition to luck, the bait is the key to catching fish. There are no earthworms in the meadow. You can't lure a fish with grass or anything like that. Fortunately, Yao Huang found a plate of crispy meat in the space. Yao Huang secretly tasted a piece herself, and it was so fragrant that she almost cried. Grind a small piece and hang it on the hook. Sure enough, it attracted the fish to the bait, although the fish was not big. It's not enough for one person to eat.
The fish soup was boiled, and Feng Ying fed the little soldier into his mouth little by little. I don't know if it is the function of fish soup. It was still the medicinal use of two wild vegetables, and the little warrior's complexion made an appointment, and he finally woke up at noon. From the mouth of the little soldier, the two people learned that his name was Luo Xiaohu, and the dead companion was called Gu Shishi, and the two of them were left behind for a day, not only did they have nothing to eat, but they also had no blankets to cover them for warmth, so Gu Shishi would just leave. After being able to move, the child crawled to Gu Shishi's grave and cried.
At noon, the three of them divided the small fish with food, Feng Ying ate the tail, Yao Huang ate the fish head, and the meat in the middle was given to Luo Xiaohu to replenish his body. After lunch, the two women supported Luo Xiaohu and walked forward together.
Along the way, they rescued several soldiers who had fallen behind and died, and their team grew to sixteen people. The job of finding food fell on Yao Huang, and everyone was very envious of Yao Huang's luck, she could always pick a lot of wild vegetables, and occasionally fish from the puddle to improve everyone's life. Once, Yao Huang caught a big fish of six or seven catties, although her stick was broken by tossing, but it was rare for everyone to eat a full meal.
Relying on the support of wild vegetables in Yao Huang's space, the group finally found the big army, no, it should be said that the big army found them. It was very difficult to discern the direction in the grassland, and coupled with the drag of these sick and weak soldiers, when the group was halfway through, the Red First Army had already walked out of the grassland, and they were caught up by the main force of the Red Third Army.
"Comrade Zhou Enlai wants to see us?" Yao Huang was excited, Zhou Enlai was the idol of her parents and the person she admired the most.
"yes, come with me!" Feng Ying was also very excited, Comrade Zhou Enlai, the general political commissar of our Red Army, led everyone to repel the fourth encirclement and suppression war of GMD. Feng Ying knew in her heart that she had to be stained with Yao Huang to see the respected leader, and urged Yao Huang to act faster.
"This little comrade is Comrade Yao Erya, who saved many of our soldiers with artificial respiration! On behalf of the Central Committee, I thank you! The future Premier Zhou cordially and kindly greeted Yao Huang and Feng Ying, which made everyone excited, but no one was more excited than Yao Huang.
When Yao Huang was a child, he often heard about Premier Zhou's deeds, and he had great respect for this prime minister who worked hard for the country and the people and whose personality charm was admired by the world. It's a pity that she was born ten years late, and she can only remember Premier Zhou through various materials. Now, being able to see this great man with his own eyes, how can Yao Huang not be excited?
"I, my name is Yao Huang." The original name was Yao Erya, but Yao Huang wanted the prime minister to remember his original name.
"Yao Huang? Well, the king of flowers. That's a good name. Premier Zhou smiled heartily. The Premier Zhou in Yao Huang's eyes now is not a tired old man in the data, but a high-spirited general political commissar of the whole army. Thirty-six years old is the golden age of life, a beard can not hide Premier Zhou's upright facial features, his temperament is elegant and hearty, exuding a charm that cannot be described in words, worthy of being the first of the four beautiful men of the Republic of China. Wang Jingwei is beautiful in skin and elegant in appearance, but it is a pity that he became a traitor in the second half of his life; Mei Lan Fangmei is dressing up, graceful and tactful, he is perfect on the stage; Zhang Xueliangmei is heroic and heroic, which is the unique demeanor of military generals; These three people are not as good as Premier Zhou, Premier Zhou's beauty is in demeanor and temperament, from the inside out, throughout his life, unlike the other three who have completely declined in middle and old age.
Yao Huang smirked, she was so happy at this time that she didn't know what to say.
Premier Zhou praised Yao Huang's artificial respiration method, and shook hands with the other fighters cordially, and his bearing conquered every fighter.
Yao Huang looked at Yao Huang intoxicated, did not take his eyes off for a moment, and roared in his heart: I saw Premier Zhou, I saw Premier Zhou...... (Repeat 10,000 times below). When I go back to modern times, I have to tell my parents, cousins, ...... that I want them to be envious and jealous, and I want them to be envious and jealous...... (Repeat 10,000 times below).
There was a buzzing sound in the sky from far and near, and everyone's faces changed, it was the enemy's bomber!
"Watch for secrecy!" The guards shouted, and everyone looked for obstacles, lying or crouching, and dodging, everyone was very skilled in this set, after all, they had experienced five major encirclements and constant harassment by the enemy along the way. However, Yao Huang is not used to it, although the original body has a memory, but Yao Huang from the peaceful era has not experienced it, she reacted slowly and stood on the ground, blinked, and didn't know how to do it at all. As everyone knows, after everyone else is hidden, she is the only one standing and becomes the best target.
"Be careful!" A strong force knocked Yao Huang down, and Yao Huang heard a deafening explosion sound beside her, and then felt a hot liquid flow down from the top of her head, almost obscuring her vision.
Yao Huang was pretty sure he wasn't hurt, so it was someone else who was hurt. She raised her head, and her eyes touched the scene that made her heart ache: Feng Ying was hit in the head by shrapnel from the bomb in order to cover her, and she had stopped breathing!
He's dead? He's dead! The eldest sister who supported her all the way and took care of him died? The sister who was still smiling at her just now died? The sister who told her that she would find a good man to marry when the war was over died? She's not married yet! Tears rushed out of his eyes at once, Yao Huang hugged Feng Ying's corpse, completely unable to accept the fact that Feng Ying was dead, and he died to save her!
This child confronted the cruelty of war in a moment, leaving a deep trace in her heart, which became one of the reasons why Yao Huang spared no effort to protect Qingshui Village from the damage of war.
"Erya!" Yao Huang felt his body be violently pulled back, and then he was thrown to the ground again.
This time, the person covering her did not die, but was wounded. Seeing Luo Xiaohu's back being blown to a bloody pulp, Yao Huang deeply spit on his incompetence, if it wasn't for protecting himself, Feng Ying wouldn't have died, and Luo Xiaohu wouldn't have been injured!
Yao Huang, you have to be strong, you can't drag others down anymore! For a moment, Yao Huang's eyes became firm, and just before the next bomb fell, she pulled Luo Xiaohu to hide behind a mound of dirt. This time, it was her turn to protect her comrades.
The enemy's bombing came and went as fast as possible, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief to see the enemy planes disappear from sight.
Yao Huang smiled, and then she felt a huge pain sweep through every inch of her nerves.
"Erya-" In the panicked shouts of Luo Xiaohu and his comrades, Yao Huang's vision was stained red with blood, and finally fell into complete darkness...... (To be continued......)
