XXXVI. The smell of blood comes from the front
Yan Zhi frowned to adapt to all kinds of stinky feet, chewed beef jerky, and said: "A person is like a starving ghost, he opens his stomach when he sees delicious food, and he has no strength to walk when he is full." Put away the canned food and chew a few pieces of beef to replenish your strength. ”
The soldiers didn't seem to hear Chief Yan's words. When I returned to the barracks at dawn, these delicious foods were not enough for more than 200 people to take a bite per person.
Seeing that the soldiers were a little reluctant to put away the cans, Yan Zhi knew the little Jiujiu in their hearts, so he said: "This big victory, after going back tomorrow, everyone will have a day off." ”
After a pause for a few seconds, Yan Zhi said: "Those who are close to home can take three days off and go home for two nights." ”
Sure enough, most of the soldiers put away the canned beef jerky and chewed the dry food one after another.
This kind of delicious canned food, the family has never seen it.
Thinking of the smiles on the faces of their parents or children when they tasted such a sweet and delicious can, some soldiers not far from home immediately had honest smiles on their faces.
Before the soldiers who were far away from home could open their mouths, the cans in their hands were snatched away by the people around them, and then a few packs of cigarettes were forced, which was considered an exchange.
Disagree?
Impossible.
If you don't agree, you have to agree.
"What do you see? I agreed to smoke cigarettes, be a good favor, and if I don't agree, I don't even have cigarettes, and it's impossible to get back cans anyway......"
"You said that you are an adult, what kind of food are you fighting with children, why don't you take a box of canned food from you, look at your little interest......"
"Okay, okay, next time I pass by your neighborhood, I'll give you all the delicious food and drink, let's go down...... Now, I'll give you another pack of cigarettes......"
Soldiers who wanted to take the canned food home for their parents and children to try it haggled with soldiers who were far away, and even used "coercion and inducement......
The soldiers were all from poor backgrounds, and during the war years, they lacked food and drink, and the soldiers knew how to save the best food for their parents and children.
Seeing the soldiers laughing and "bargaining", Yan Zhi was proud, sample, I can't cure you anymore.
Simply replenishing their physical strength, the soldiers each took out cigarettes and lit them, and the soldiers who grabbed the cans flattered each other lit cigarettes, and they almost didn't help to get out of the hole.
The soldiers squinted their eyes back to back in pairs, and some soldiers held cigarettes in one hand and picked their feet with the other, humming and chirping to make a magical sound, enjoying it very much.
"How long has it been since you washed your feet?"
Yan Zhi was really smoked, frowning and scolding, "Why didn't you take off your shoes just now and smoke the wolves away?" ”
Xu Zheyou's expression was very low under the flickering light of cigarette butts, and he picked his feet and said, "The wolf's body smells worse than our feet!" ”
Yan Zhi almost choked to death with a puff of smoke. After a long time, he relieved himself and said: "Xu Zheyou, you tell everyone about wolf nature, maybe you will meet wolves in the future, you can use it." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The soldiers said.
Smoking a cigarette and listening to Zheyou talk about wolf nature, everyone likes to listen to it.
"Speaking of the habits of the big wolf, you can be regarded as finding the right person, my family has been hunting for a living for three generations, and it can be said that I know the habits of the big wolf well."
Xu Zheyou continued: "But it's ......."
"But what?"
The soldiers asked in unison.
"It's no problem to listen to experience, one person and one cigarette, not greedy."
"Cut! This is called not being greedy, one cigarette per person is two packs of cigarettes......"
"You're really picking ......"
Fan Xiaosi said: "Don't get me wrong, Xu Zheyou, are you all like you in the Eighth Route Army!" ”
"The Eighth Route Army is indeed picking!" Xu Zheyou, the landlord, reached out and took the cigarettes handed by the soldiers, "It's because I didn't pick it, yes, who the hell doesn't know how to be generous." ”
"You're saying that!" Fan Xiaosi nodded in acknowledgement. In the past, when there was no cigarette to smoke, it was regarded as a treasure to find a cigarette butt, but now, everyone has a cigarette stuffed in the place where they can be loaded, and everyone smokes one cigarette after another without feeling distressed.
Xu Zheyou stretched out his hand to take off the 90-style steel helmet on Fan Xiaosi's head, proudly laughed at everyone's cigarettes, and the angry Fan Xiaosi stared dryly, making a gesture to take it back.
Although there were some conflicts and contradictions between the two during the Wings Valley, after this battle, the two became sympathetic to each other again.
"Go, go!"
Xu Zheyou tilted his eyes and fanned away Fan Xiaosi's outstretched hand, "Just borrow you a watermelon shell, look at your stinginess, who said I picked it just now?" ”
Fan Xiaosi's face changed quickly: "Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, I'm helping you hold the Green King's Eight, look at your old hat......"
Xu Zheyou smiled and handed the steel helmet to Fan Xiaosi and said, "Unlike steppe wolves, jungle wolves mainly haunt at night, and they will also attack humans when they are extremely hungry or in other situations.
The timberwolf is about 1.6-1.8 meters long including the tail, about 80 centimeters tall at the shoulders, and weighs about 25-50 kilograms, with an average weight of 38 kilograms for adult males and 30 kilograms for females.
Timberwolves are slightly smaller than steppe wolves, but they are more ferocious and tough, making them suitable for hunting in forests and mountains.
The timberwolf has a silvery-gray or grayish-brown back, a pale brown belly, mostly gray and black calves, and rarely white, and a dense tail that is suitable for balancing the body when running and hunting in the woods. In winter, the fur on the neck, shoulders, and buttocks of the timberwolves becomes darker. ”
Yan Zhi knew that during the war years, food was scarce, guns were not supervised, people would often venture into the mountains and forests to hunt jungles and wild things on the mountains, so that wild animals became less and less, and the jungle wolves lacked food, and sometimes they would attack humans when they were extremely hungry.
Xu Zheyou continued with a cigarette: "When the wolves are looking for prey, they mainly rely on their sense of smell, only when they are close to the prey, they mainly focus on their eyes when chasing the prey, and the jungle wolf is very vindictive, if anyone takes out their wolf cubs, they will fight with whom." At this time, the wolves left suddenly, it should be that they had a target before, but they had an encounter with us halfway, thinking that we were coming to besiege them, and then they left when they saw that we were just putting on a defensive posture. ”
Yan Zhi's heart suddenly sank inexplicably: "You mean to say that the wolves have another goal?" ”
Xu Zheyou didn't feel Yan Zhi's uneasiness, and continued: "The wolves suddenly left us, which means that they must have a goal, but I don't know where the target is. Judging by the range of the wolf's sense of smell, the prey of the wolf pack should be within twenty kilometers of their territory. It is impossible for them to go to the Valley of the Wings, which is not their territory, and it is impossible for their sense of smell to detect the smell of blood anywhere. ”
Yan Zhi also took a cigarette and frowned: "That means that the smell of blood comes from in front of us?" ”
Xu Zheyou nodded: "What is certain is that in front of us, there must be a bloody large prey, otherwise, the wolves will not all go out because of a lamb." ”
