Chapter 180: Another Village
This kind of pear is familiar to many soldiers, and it can occasionally touch the mountain when collecting firewood in Feiyun Mountain, the taste is a little sour, not too sweet, and the juice is not much, but it is always a fruit, which can quench thirst, which is the most important thing.
Everyone rushed forward frantically, and in just a few minutes, the wild sand pears were all in their pockets.
Wiped the brown skin with his clothes, put the wild pear to his mouth and took a bite, and a strong sourness made Zhuang Yan immediately frown.
However, stimulated by the sour taste, my mouth was suddenly filled with saliva.
Although the juice of wild pear is not rich, and it is still a little astringent, but the sweet and sour feeling is really thirst-quenching.
All the students in Class 7 had a full bag full of wild pears in their satchels, and they nibbled on pears as they walked.
Wild pears not only quench thirst, but also bring some satiety like fruits. Weak, it is rich in vitamins, and in the process of survival in the wild, it can be regarded as a treasure to supplement the nutrients needed by the body.
The slightly depressed mood was slightly adjusted, and the steps of the solemn walk on the mountain road were much lighter.
In fact, it is easy for people to be satisfied, and in a certain environment, the requirements for material things will also change dramatically.
When he was at home, even if it was an imported high-priced fruit, he would not take a few more looks, let alone this sour, astringent, small residue and a lot of wild pear, but today, he felt that this small wild pear was simply the most delicious fruit he had ever eaten in his life, and it was simply golden.
Wild Yamanashi solves the thirst and desperation faced by the entire seventh class, and the strong sour taste effectively boosts the spirit of the human body, stimulates the nerves, and makes everyone feel refreshed.
The speed of the march was restored, and when it was nearly half-past four, Lady Luck came again.
In front of the team, in a small mountain col, a small pond about 20 meters wide miraculously appeared!
This small pond is hit by the mountain water over the years, and the water quality is said to be the mountain spring water of the Eight Classics!
"It's not far from the campsite, let's rest in place for twenty minutes!"
Seeing such a good environment, even Luo Xiaoming couldn't help but order to rest in place.
"Fill up the water, but don't drink too much right away, remember, it's still the old rule, a little bit and! Also, see if there are any fish! But remember, don't jump into the water right away, cool off on the shore first! If you want to die, you jump down and take a shower, cramps and heat stroke, it's very dangerous here, and if you can't send it out, you'll die! Got it? ”
"Got it, squad leader!"
"Okay, let's take a look at the water's edge, catch the fish, and make sure we can't go down."
Everyone took off their backpacks, unloaded their Type 91 tactical vests, and put their guns together.
Solemnly ran to the water's edge, and a tired face was reflected on the clear water.
He picked up the cool pool water and washed his face.
The clear and cold spring water was applied to his face, and he solemnly felt more refreshing than going to kill horses and chickens ten times in a row at home!
Even though he was very thirsty, even though he was less than six kilometers away from the campsite, he had to hold back and not allow himself to drink a lot of water.
In the summer, the mountain sky is still very hot even at four or five o'clock, and there is no guarantee that the next moment will be dehydrated with a lot of water.
In addition to washing your face, solemnly hold the water and take a big gulp in your mouth to moisten your tongue and lips before spitting it out.
This relieves the viscosity in your mouth caused by thirst and prevents you from drinking a lot of raw water.
Xu Xingguo finally saved his face by this waterhole.
He used the fastest speed to cut a branch more than two meters long in the woods next to him, cut it into a straight stick, and then cut eight knives from one end in the shape of a plum blossom, the incision was about 30CM, and then used a stone to open the incision, sharpened each wooden thorn that was opened, and the whole stick became a fork covered with more than a dozen wooden thorns.
"Lao Xu! Can you do it?! ”
Remembering that Xu Xingguo held a fork by the river for a long time last night, and finally said "It's too dark", which made all the students in Class 7 scorched and tender, Wang Jie was the first to make a questioning voice.
Han Tao also said: "Lao Xu, why don't we find something to make a wooden hook and catch it, there are estimated earthworms around here." ”
Digging earthworms in the wilderness is not a difficult task.
Under the shade of the bushes, where the land is a little wetter, you can dig one or two with a sapper shovel, and if you are lucky, you will not be able to dig ten or eight with a spade.
Xu Xingguo was a little annoyed and angry, and retorted: "You know a fart!" It was so dark last night that I couldn't see the fish in the water! Now you go to make a hook, and when you get the hook ready, you can fish again, and you can get a few in five minutes, and you won't be able to get a few in an hour! ”
Luo Xiaoming said: "That's right, I will only give you twenty minutes, and after twenty minutes, I will set off as planned, I don't want to risk a night jungle march, it is too dangerous." ”
"Do you hear that?" Xu Xingguo said: "The squad leader has said it, it's only twenty minutes!" Don't pour cold water on me, or I'll catch a fish later, and it's not your share! ”
solemnly walked to Xu Xingguo's side, lit a cigarette, and looked in the direction of Xu Xingguo's fork.
In the clear water, I saw four or five fish swimming in the water.
"Holy! Brothers! There really are fish! ”
When they heard that there were fish in the water, everyone hula and surrounded them.
The harpoon in Xu Xingguo's hand was swung for the first time at this time.
"Medium!" He yelled, startling the others.
Surprisingly, on the fork at one end of the stick, there is really a fish piercing!
"Okay!"
"! Lao Xu is not bragging! It's really urine! ”
"Humph! Needless to say, when did I, Xu Xingguo, brag! Xu Xingguo stood at the water's edge, constantly stabbing the harpoon.
Almost every hit was a sure hit, and he scored one after another, proving with his strength that he didn't brag last night.
The fish here are basically a kind of slender, thin-scaled, green back and white belly, with some dense small black spots on the body, about three or four taels each, not big.
"Grouper!" Liu Ruiyong screamed first, "This is a good thing!" We've got a mouthful of luck tonight! ”
"Grouper!?" Zhuang Zhuang grew up by the sea since he was a child, when did grouper become a freshwater fish.
He looked left and right, and he didn't feel like it.
"Is this a grouper?"
"That's right!" Wan Yuelong next to him said with certainty: "This is grouper, but in some places it is called stone fish, the meat of this fish is tender and delicious, it is definitely a high-quality product!" It's worth a lot in our place, and this kind of fish can only be found in the mountain pools, and it can't be raised in places with slightly worse water quality! ”
Everyone was talking about it, and many people recognized the species of this fish.
Solemn stood aside like a fool, he really hadn't seen such a fish.
Now, he felt that his knowledge was not as good as that of his comrades.
Today is the lucky day of Class 7.
In the evening, we arrived at the camp, although there were no traps last night, and there was no river around the camp, and the conditions were much worse than last night.
However, Class 7 has eight groupers in their hands.
When I arrived at the campsite, when I was cooking at night, almost all the other district teams came to the seventh class to watch.
Looking at the groupers roasted on the shelf of the fire, the saliva of the other district team students was about to flow to the ground.
Wang Datong was more familiar with the students of Class 7, and they also came over to join in the fun, squatting by the fire for a long time and refusing to leave, so they almost begged for food on the spot.
Seeing his pitiful look, he divided half of his fish and gave it to the king's mouth.
The big mouth almost swallowed all the bones, and praised the fish for its deliciousness.
Although for these students, who already eat a lot of food, eight fish of three or four taels is not enough to satisfy everyone, and even everyone still feels a little unsatisfied, but there is basically no problem in maintaining the necessary calories.
On the contrary, the biggest problem lies with the students themselves.
The next night's campsite had no water source, so everyone had to face a problem – there was no shower to shower.
At night, Zhuang Yan found a somewhat distressing and unspeakable problem, he began to have a slight crotch grinding, and as soon as he walked, he had a slight egg pain.
Marching crotch grinding is one of the most troubling problems for soldiers.
During a long march, crotch grinding and foot blistering are the most common and are basically difficult to avoid.
Wang Da, who ate the solemn little half of the fish, informed Entu Bao and gave him a suggestion, that is, hang up the gap and not wear underwear.
This method is conducive to the ventilation of the crotch, and without the friction of the pants, the problem of crotch grinding will be well alleviated.
On the third day, survival was not the biggest problem that plagued the march, but how to distribute the physical strength, and the drinking water could always be replenished in places such as mountain springs or creeks, and the next night, the traps set up in the bushes near the camp by the seventh class finally broke the fast, and two pheasants were caught, one dead, and immediately disemboweled, and roasted in the morning.
However, the pheasant is not heavy, only less than a catty, and everyone is divided into a small piece, and they are addicted.
Anyway, everything you can catch, as long as you can eat, separate a little from each person, and eat a little more is some calories, which can withstand the challenges behind.
Liu Ruiyong was very proud, the sleeve was put by him, the pheasant that was still alive and couldn't be named, he tied it with a rope, as if holding a pet.
"Ruiyong, kill it, brothers."
"Yes, I heard that the pheasant is very replenished, and I have eaten the dragon spirit and the tiger ......."
The students of Class 7 watched for a long time, gossiping and discussing, and the pheasant was so frightened that it "cooed" and scurried all over the ground, trying to escape.
After discussing for a long time, everyone said that they wanted to eat it, but when it came to discussing who would kill the pheasant, they were unwilling.
Later, it was seriously proposed, since it was caught, it was also a piece of food, but everyone was not hungry for the time being, so they left this unlucky little pheasant with their lives first, and took it on the road, and waited until it was really out of food, and then it was not too late to take it to the knife.
As a soldier, it seemed to everyone that this was a profession that should be brave and not afraid to face slaughter.
However, no one could tell why they were reluctant to eat the tempting pheasant, but everyone unanimously agreed to keep the little gray-brown one.
Everyone unanimously named the pheasant captured by Liu Ruiyong "Xiaogu", because no one can say what kind of pheasant it belongs to, and it can't be called by scientific name, only that it coos when it is frightened, so it has such a name.
On the third day of the march, Liu Ruiyong kept leading his little pheasant to the front of the team, shouting and humming some hometown songs all the way, and led a little pheasant out of the style of a German shepherd.
When the pheasant could not walk, he put it on his rucksack and held it in place with a lid, exposing his head.
Others even took advantage of the march to catch some grasshoppers and insects to tease and feed it, and the appearance of this small animal became an unforgettable episode on the boring march.
However, what no one expected was that when they were about to arrive at the camp on the afternoon of the third day, it was also because of this little pheasant that something big almost happened.
