Chapter 52: A Drop in the Bucket (I)
Although there is an old saying that you don't get angry and don't go boating at night, you can take a boat at night on the Qing Python River, where the water flow is relatively gentle, and it is not too dangerous to hinder it. Especially after Mo Tianliu guided the group of chestnuts to avoid the last shoal in the Green Python River, almost every member of the martial arts team who sat on the raft and walked down the river relaxed a little nervously, and they all began to whisper and joke with each other.
Holding the flower mechanism that had been snatched away by Mo Tianliu in his arms, Gou Da was counting the only seven or eight bullets left in the magazine, and shook his head again and again in distress: "Loser...... What a loser...... There are only about 50 rounds of ammunition in total, and half of it is done in the blink of an eye...... This Jin made flower mechanism, but where do you want me to change bullets......"
Struggling to support the penny, Sha Bangcui, who was standing at the end of the wooden row, looked at Gou Da Chai's distressed appearance, and couldn't help but comfort Gou Da and said, "Brother Da Dan, your bullets are not in vain?" When Tianliu took the flower machine to hit those devils in the turret, I could hear someone in the devil's turret as if he had hit it, and a monster shouted strangely! If you still don't think it's worth it...... When we fight in the future, let's just save some bullets. If I come across a bullet that suits this flower mechanism, I'll leave it for you......
His eyes widened, but he almost jumped up from the wooden row: "More than 20 bullets were made, and I don't know if I really killed the devil, and this transaction is not a loss?" Besides, the bullets of this Jin Flower Machine, the devils and those two devils don't have them, if you have the heart to find it for me, where can you get it? And those two grenades...... I tore my voice and told you to just run, why did you throw one out? Fortunately, the two grenades you threw out were both made by Jin, and if you threw out a devil's grenade......"
Fiddling with the twenty-shot pistol in his hand with some disapproval, Mo Tianliu casually answered Gou Da Dan's words: "Brother Da Dan, it's right that we calculate the benefits of fighting, but we can't calculate according to your method." Come to think of it, if we hadn't fired a few dozen bullets and two grenades, we wouldn't have been able to send the contents of our rafts to Komatsuso. If the devil finds out about us, it will be more capital, and the objects on this raft will still not be saved...... Speaking of which, I do think of something - Brother Dacho, how did you keep up with me and the mallet, and also touched the front of the devil's turret? ”
Towards the group of chestnuts who were standing in front of the raft and concentrating on adjusting the direction of the raft, Gou Da shouted in response: "It's not that the captain is afraid that you two will make a mistake. You go ashore with your front foot, and I chase after you with your heel. Even if you two are smart, you know that slipping down the ditch to the front of the devil's turret really saves a lot of time......"
Looking at the three-eight big cover that Gou Da was lying on at his feet, Mo Tianliu smiled at Gou Da but bared his teeth and said, "It's fortunate that Brother Da Dan went to answer it, otherwise, ...... I really thought I had put out the devil's searchlight? ”
"Are you embarrassed to mention this? This flower machine can't hit that far at all, and the bullets you shoot at the searchlight will fly away indiscriminately, and it doesn't depend on my ......."
Before he finished speaking, a series of orioles chirped suddenly sounded in a waterfront shrub in front of the river. The group of chestnuts standing in front of the raft only heard the movement of the yellow orioles, and immediately pursed their lips with joy, whistled loudly towards the bushes near the water, and then turned to Mo Tianliu and the others and said, "It's time to get to the ground, and the people who picked up us from the old army have also arrived!" Mallet, work harder, help me bring the raft to the shore! ”
After a brief agreement, Sha Bangcui bent down to pick up another penny resting at his feet, and at the same time poked the penny to the bottom of the river with both hands, and leaned towards the bank of the raft. Behind the dense bushes that grew on the riverbank, dozens of black figures stood up one after another and ran silently towards the riverbank.
Squinting his eyes at the figures rushing towards the river in the dark, the chestnut group easily recognized the familiar comrades from the dark shadows that slowly gathered to the river, and immediately whispered happily to the black shadows who rushed to the shore first: "Old Feitou, you don't stay in your room like the Jinluan Palace, but are you willing to show your face?" What's wrong? Did you bring me some rare food, thinking about treating me? ”
Panting heavily, the black shadow called Lao Feitou obviously heard the greeting of the chestnut group, but did not immediately answer the words of the chestnut group, but just waved his hand weakly towards the chestnut group, and then he weakly whispered to the chestnut group: "Little chestnut...... Do you have anything to eat? Give the stuttering ......"
Before he finished speaking, Lao Feitou had already planted himself headlong into the river, and suddenly smashed a large splash!
As soon as he threw the penny he was holding in his hand far away, the group of chestnuts standing in front of the raft jumped up and jumped into the knee-deep water, stretched out his arms and scooped Lao Feitou out of the water, and dragged him back to the sand on the shore.
Without waiting for others to gather around him, the chestnut group reached out and touched Lao Fei's stomach, and immediately wrinkled his brows and roared: "Quickly bring something to eat, and then get a house that can hold water......
When Mo Tianliu jumped from the raft into the river, he scooped some river water with the British steel helmet and held it to the chestnut group with both hands. And Zhong Youtian, who was standing on another raft, also took out a piece of mixed noodles and hard buns from his arms and threw it towards the chestnut group from a distance.
Without raising his head, he reached out and grabbed the mixed noodles and hard buns that Zhong Youtian threw over. As soon as the chestnut group slapped hard, they immediately pinched the dry piece of mixed noodles into fine lumps, and sprinkled them into the British steel helmet held by Mo Tianliu.
Stretching out his hand to stir the river water mixed with grain residue a few times, the chestnut group took the steel helmet held by Mo Tianliu, carefully approached Lao Feitou's mouth, and slowly poured the river water mixed with some grain in the steel helmet into Lao Feitou's mouth. Seeing Lao Feitou subconsciously swallow and swallow several mouthfuls of river water mixed with grain residues, the chestnut group whispered: "How did it get like this?" Let me ask you, how can Lao Feitou be so hungry?! ”
As if no one heard the angry shouts of the chestnut group, in an unbearable silence, the crowd slowly gathered around the chestnut group. One of the veterans who was more familiar with the chestnut group seemed to be unable to bear the suffocating silence, and whispered to the chestnut group who was feeding the old Feitou: "Old chestnut, there is no way...... It's not just the old guys, the big guys are like this. I really couldn't find food, and the wild vegetables I could find were dug up two days ago. As for those of us who came out to receive the supplies, we only shared half a bowl of wild vegetable soup today...... Even Commander Li drank two days of water......"
Raising his head suddenly, the eyes of the chestnut group were almost about to erupt with fire, and he roared angrily in response: "Even if Commander Li breaks off, you can't break Lao Fei's head to eat and drink!" Who of you doesn't know that all four sons of Lao Feitou's family participated in the revolution and died on the Long March? Even Commander Li walked through the grass with a little barley that Lao Fei Tou picked out with his mouth......
Squatting down beside the chestnut group, the veteran who was familiar with the chestnut group shook his head helplessly: "Old chestnut, others don't know, can you still know?" Every time the army ran out of food, the first thing Lao Feitou sealed was his own mouth! As for the half bowl of wild vegetable soup that was distributed when he came out to receive the supplies today, Lao Feitou asked someone to bring it to the wounded, and no one listened to it......
Maybe it was because there was some food in the stomach, or maybe it was because the sound of the chestnut group talking to another veteran was disturbed, the old man who was half-lying in the arms of the chestnut group slowly opened his eyes, trembled and raised his arm that was hanging on the ground, and patted the chestnut group's knee weakly: "Little chestnut, what are you shouting about?" It's so noisy that I can't sleep at restless......"
As soon as he heard Lao Feitou speak, the chestnut group suddenly lost his temper, and hurriedly brought the British steel helmet in his hand close to Lao Feitou's mouth: "Old Feitou, don't be busy talking first, drink this little water and then talk about .......it."
Smacked his lips slightly, and the old Fei Tou, who was half-lying in the arms of the chestnut group, suddenly chuckled and shook his head: "Okay, you little chestnut, I haven't seen you for a few days, do you know that you have fooled my old Fei head?" I've been in the team for all these years, and I still don't know what you're feeding me? It's bud batter, isn't it? Or do you take dry food and add river water to fool around? ”
Without waiting for the chestnut group to speak again, Lao Feitou had already shook his head at the chestnut group again: "Little chestnut, the troops have been out of food for two days, and even the wounded can only drink half a bowl of wild vegetable soup a day, but they are waiting for the food you bring to save their lives...... You put me aside first, and let the comrades hurry up and carry the things. It's dawn when you talk about this, and you're walking on the road with these things, and if you let the devil and the second devil see it, you're really going to get into trouble......"
Looking at Lao Feitou's resolute expression, Li Ziqun could only nod heavily, but without saying anything, he stuffed the British steel helmet in his hand into Lao Feitou's hand: "Lao Feitou, you just sit here and watch us, you can't make a mistake in keeping it!" You've drunk all this grain soup, and we've brought a lot of food, so everyone can take care of it! ”
Nodding with relief, Lao Feitou didn't say anything more, just carefully held the British steel helmet in his hand, and took a small sip of the river water mixed with grain residue. The other veterans who had gathered around the chestnut crowd and Lao Feitou also scattered quickly, walking towards the raft floating on the bank of the river.
Standing up suddenly, the chestnut group looked at the hungry veterans, and suddenly roared in a muffled voice: "Give me back one by one!" You haven't eaten for two days, and you still have the strength to walk with these things? Arita beckoned the comrades of the armed forces to gather the dry rations they were carrying and distribute them to the comrades who came to receive the supplies. Even if you are full, you can always have some food in your stomach......"
