After a few minutes, there was no orange smoke rising, but a small red flag stretched out from the top of the hill to the woods, first shaking it from side to side and then back and forth twice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Jiang Beiming let out a long breath. It seems that this is some kind of prey that the hunting group has hit, and it should not be small. According to the prior agreement, if there is no danger and the gun is fired, the red flag will be used as a communication signal to indicate safety. Life-saving flares should only be used in the most urgent and dangerous situations.

As the sun slowly sank in the west, two bonfires were lit on the beach, and two cauldrons were erected, which were taken down from the Pearl. All of them, except for the officers on duty at 2 machine-gun points, stopped working and returned to the beach. Luan Xu brought back a wild boar when they came back, which was also the reason for the 2 gunshots during the day. It's just that everyone is still carrying a variety of different branches, and I don't know what they are for.

Wild boar, hare meat mixed and rolled in the pot, the aroma fills the entire beach. Everyone was drinking the broth bowl after bowl with bowl. There is no way, after a day of heavy physical labor, I can't eat enough with the 250 grams of food rationed alone, and I can only rely on broth to mix water to fill up.

All nine committee members came to the beach, including the only female committee member, Tan Jing. Scattered around were the leaders of the various groups and the leaders of the landing team. Xu Lang took out a crumpled cigarette from his body, picked up a burning branch and lit it, took a deep breath, and then handed it to Lin Zhaolong next to him. The cigarette ration really killed these old smokers.

Lin Zhaolong took it and took a sip, handed it to the people below, and then said: "Let me first tell you that the two machine gun positions have now been constructed, forming a crossfire network, which can completely block the land transportation of Yulin Bay. 101 Highland machine gun crew of 4 people during the day, 2 people on duty at night, armed with a 03 rifle; The 102 Highland had a machine gun crew of 6 people during the day and 3 people on duty at night, also armed with a 03 rifle. A mobile alert group of 4 people was also arranged, and there were 2 secret posts at night. But we need to build two easy roads up the mountain, otherwise it will be a hassle just to carry the bullets. ”

"It's not easy." Wang Hua took over the topic, "50 of us dug all day today, the depth of the trench is less than half a meter, and the earthen wall is only half a meter high, the key is that there are too few tools, there are only 20 shovels in total, and we have to divide some machine gun positions, and there are no pickaxes and pickaxes at all." And too few logs were felled. ”

"We can't be blamed for that." Wang Jian, the leader of the logging team, is a man in five or three groups, and before the crossing was a fitter in a factory, "We also didn't have tools, so we relied on four fire axes to cut down trees, and no one knew how to use the chain saw." I don't know what you're doing on board? Our people basically cut down trees with kitchen knives all day long, can it be efficient? ”

"What's the matter with you, have you got the iron-striking stove up?" Jiang Beiming asked Shen Daxing.

"The basic framework is in place, but it's not enough." Shen Daxing said, "We have to build another charcoal kiln tomorrow, and we have to use charcoal for ironing, we don't have coal yet, we can only use charcoal, otherwise the temperature is not enough." And I have one of the biggest problems right now, I don't have a hammer, and I have to find a replacement. In short, I can't get any tools these days, and I still need to increase the number of people, and now these 10 people can't work at all, and they can't help and add to the chaos. ”

"What about your hunting group?" Jiang Beiming asked again.

"Let me tell you about it." Luan Xu said while sharpening the wooden stick in his hand with a 95 bayonet, "The bayonet can't hunt at all, we all use the guns today, a total of 5 shots, it's too wasteful to shoot bullets, it's okay to shoot a wild boar, it's too wasteful to shoot rabbits, pheasants and the like." I'll try to make some simple bows and arrows first, but it's better to make some spears, one for hunting, and the other for self-defense, and there are many snakes in the mountains, and spears are much easier to use than bayonets. Also, we found that there are more wild fruits nearby, and those women can't help much now anyway, so let's go and collect some wild fruits to replenish it. Today, we went out about 3 or 4 miles in each of the two groups, and we have not found the village of the Ming Dynasty, but we have found signs of human activity, and it is estimated that there should be a village nearby. ”

"There is a village where you still let us go to pick fruits, aren't you afraid that we will be robbed?" Tan Jing protested on the side.

"Hey, hey." Luan Xu lowered his head and continued to sharpen his wooden stick, no longer answering.

"Comrades."

"I'm sorry, Commissioner Sun." Sun Dalei was interrupted by Xu Lang as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, "Let's stop calling comrades, can we call brothers?" I get goosebumps when you call me comrade. ”

"Xiao Xu, now is not the time to joke." Zhang Guodong said, "Commissioner Sun, you continue. ”

Sun Dalei glanced at Xu Lang: "Brothers, we have a lot of difficulties, but we should also see the achievements. At least there were no major problems with our landing plan today, which was a very successful one, and our defense system was basically established, and the rest depends on you to use your ingenuity and ingenuity to get what you need out as soon as possible. ”

"There's one more question." Shi Xianyang interjected on the side, "I am now in charge of the rationing, looking at today's situation, our food can't last for 7 days at all, the consumption of heavy physical labor is too great, today is the first day, and there is broth, the problem is not big, but I am worried that there will be problems in 2 or 3 days, and we must get food as soon as possible." It's a pity we don't have fishing nets, otherwise we would have been able to get some fish. So I suggest that we establish contact with the local Ming Dynasty people as soon as possible and exchange food. ”

After Shi Xianyang finished speaking, all the people around him fell silent. Food is indeed a big problem, but if you want to deal with the people of the Ming Dynasty now, everyone has no bottom in their hearts, who knows whether it is a blessing or a disaster.

"So be it." Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Xu Lang said, "Find a few people, I will lead the team, and go farther north tomorrow morning to find the local people of the Ming Dynasty, we can't directly find the Ming Dynasty government, it is best to find a few villages." Regardless of the outcome, I think it's better to get in touch with it first, the question raised by Mr. Shi is indeed very tricky, and we can't sit back and eat like this. ”

"Xiao Xu, can it work? Isn't it too dangerous? "This time it was Lu Tianxiang who spoke.

"It's okay, Lu Lao. Bring a few more guns, and even if there is any danger, at least you can get out of the way. But I have a request, I want to bring 2 people, one is my roommate Sun Tianhao, and the other is Cheng Yiyi. ”

"No, I can't. What do you mean? Tan Jing was the first to shout, "Why do you still bring lesbians?" ”

"Sister Tan." Xu Lang replied, "You listen to me finish speaking." I brought Sun Tianhao because I think that although he is a person who is giggling on the surface, he is actually very careful, and this person has been doing business before, and he belongs to the kind of character who talks about people when he sees people, talks nonsense when he sees ghosts, and talks nonsense when he sees people. I brought Cheng Yiyi because there is a woman in the team, which will make the hostility of the Ming Dynasty people not so great, at least there are still fewer female bandits and female pirates, and I think Cheng Yiyi herself is also very suitable and open-minded in terms of personality. Of course, there will always be dangers, so volunteering comes first, and this also requires their own opinion. ”

"You can't be so blind, even if you go north, you have to have a goal." Wang Hua asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"In our time, wasn't there a Jiyang town in the north of Yulin Port, that is, the former Tiandu Town, not far from here, just more than 20 miles, I plan to go there to see, the key is that I remember that there should be an iron mine there. Drop by and explore. ”

"Twenty miles is the distance of that time and space before. I'm afraid it's more than that, and besides, there's no way out at all. Jiang Beiming reminded Xu Lang.

"Also, Xiao Xu." Lu Tianxiang continued, "According to the records of the Qing Dynasty's "Yazhou Chronicles", that place is still the place of the Li people, and there are basically no Han people. And now the contradictions between the Li and Han people are very deep. In the 14th year of Hongzhi, the 27th year of Jiajing, and the 40th year of Wanli, large-scale uprisings broke out, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, and there were dozens of small-scale conflicts. If you go now, will you be able to do it? ”

"Lu Lao, don't forget, this is the Ming Dynasty, not our era when the United States fought Iraq and the whole world knows. The current information should be very closed, and I am afraid that few people know about the uprisings you are talking about. I think as long as we are prepared, there should be no big problem, it's a big deal to bring more things to attract them, no matter what, they are all people, as long as there are interests, I don't think anyone wants to refuse. ”

Seeing that Xu Lang insisted again and again, everyone no longer persuaded him, after all, it was true that the food issue could not sit back and eat, and this matter would be settled. Tan Jing returned to the Pearl in a dinghy to ask Cheng Yiyi's opinion. Xu Lang went to find Sun Tianhao, and the rest of the people stayed where they were to discuss the selection of the group going north tomorrow.

Xu Lang found Sun Tianhao who was sleeping in the crowd at the foot of the mountain. Sun Tianhao opened his hazy sleepy eyes and looked at Xu Lang with a confused expression: "Brother Xu, what's the matter, it's so late." ”

"It's not too late, it's not too late, let's go, go for a walk with me, I have something to tell you."

The two of them walked slowly to the beach, and neither of them spoke. Suddenly, a shout came from behind a rock and asked, "Password!" ”

"Landing in."

There was no movement behind the rocks. The two men continued on their way. Xu Lang stopped, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, took a puff, and handed it to Sun Tianhao: "Today's last one." ”

Sun Tianhao took the cigarette and took two puffs fiercely: "Say, what's the matter, I know that you are uneasy and kind." ”

"What do you think of Cheng Yiyi?"

"How's that?" Sun Tianhao stared at Xu Lang obliquely, "Are you interesting to her?" ”

"Whereever." Xu Lang smiled, "What do you want?" I will lead a team to the north tomorrow to look for the Ming Dynasty locals, we are running out of food, and we must get in touch with the Ming Dynasty people as soon as possible. There's the two of you in the team. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Xu, don't scare me, don't scare me." Sun Tianhao waved his hand again and again.

"I don't force you, but whether you go or not, I will definitely go, this thing is proposed by me, I must do it myself."

"You told me to think about it, I have to think about it." Sun Tianhao shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, there's one night, enough for you. Go back and have a good dream. After Xu Lang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

", can I still sleep?" Sun Tianhao said fiercely.
