Chapter 47: It's Comfortable to Have a Handle in Your Hand

But for Li Ziyuan, he can't control what this Guo Laosan is doing outside his mouth. Whether it was a horse bandit or something else, Li Ziyuan was not interested. But this Guo Laosan's ability, Li Ziyuan is very fond of it. Guo Xiaoshan once told him that when his father hunted wild animals, as long as it was a fur beast, he would only hit his head.

For a hunter who mainly relies on selling furs for money, the skin is worthless if it has a gun hole. So when he fights those beasts whose fur is valuable, his father always beats his head. He also once saw his father shoot a stone mink in the eye.

And as soon as his father entered the mountain, he could basically tell by the smell and movement of the beasts. Especially leopards, his father can feel it from a few hundred meters away. This pistol technique, combined with excellent mountain survivability, makes him a natural expert in mountain warfare.

If such a person can be dragged into his own team, he is definitely a good hand. At least in the mountainous area of the eastern part of the north of this pot, you don't have to worry about going there by yourself. There is no need to be afraid of the four-legged beasts in the mountains, and there is no need to worry about the two-legged beasts. It's just that for this person, where should I start and leave him behind?

If you use Guo Xiaoshan as a handle, isn't it a bit unauthentic to do so? Li Ziyuan believes that Guo Xiaoshan will definitely not go back with his father, as long as Guo Xiaoshan is left behind, Guo Laosan, it will be easy to do. It's just that in Li Ziyuan's heart, he always feels like a kidnapper doing this. tied up other people's sons, and threatened others to submit to themselves.

Just when Li Ziyuan touched his chin and pondered how to leave people behind without being so inauthentic. Guo Laosan over there had already returned with two roe deer and a few hares. Looking at the prey that Guo Laosan carried, Li Ziyuan said with some puzzlement: "Brother Guo, how did you get these things back, why didn't I hear the gunshot?" ”

After coming back, he was silent, and Guo Laosan, who threw the prey on the edge of the creek and cleaned it up, heard Li Ziyuan's question, and only replied with a condom, so he didn't bother with Li Ziyuan to pack up the prey. Guo Xiaoshan, who was on the side, looked at Li Ziyuan, who was a little depressed, and helped explain that to deal with roe deer and hares, the lower sleeve is better than a gun, and the gun is better to deal with leopards and wild boars.

The bullets are too expensive to hit roe deer and hares. And now that the devils are coming, the control of bullets is getting stricter and harder, and it is becoming more and more difficult to buy. Except for predators like leopards. In the past two years, his father has beaten ordinary beasts, and he has rarely shot a gun. And the sleeve is also easy to get, and it can be twisted into a trouble-free one with a few strokes of pine branches.

Guo Xiaoshan smiled and explained to Li Ziyuan what kind of prey to use in the mountains. Guo Laosan, who was neatly picking up his prey over there, although he didn't speak, kept glaring at his son. It's just that he doesn't seem to have much to do about this son. For the eyes he glared at, Guo Xiaoshan, who was beside Li Ziyuan, was as if he hadn't seen it.

After cleaning up the prey in his hand, Guo Laosan did not fake anyone, and roasted the prey on the fire by himself. While constantly adjusting the heat, he kept smearing something from the gourd on his waist to the prey. It didn't take long for a strong smell of barbecue to fill the rest place of the entire army.

Seeing that Li Ziyuan was also affected by this aroma, he swallowed his saliva expression. Guo Xiaoshan said with a smile: "Captain, it's fragrant, barbecue is my father's unique skill." His gourd was filled with wild honey, and he added some other seasonings to the meat, and the roasted meat was very fragrant. ”

Looking at Li Ziyuan's son, who was very sticky, Guo Laosan, who was barbecuing over there, sighed slightly, but didn't say anything. When the meat was cooked and distributed to everyone, he sat by the fire and didn't know what he was thinking. Guo Laosan's silence made Guo Xiaoshan on the side a little sad.

As for the meat that was distributed to his hands, Li Ziyuan did not eat it. After distributing most of the meat in his hands to the weaker soldiers, he gave the rest of the meat to Guo Xiaoshan, who was growing his body. He held a roasted and somewhat mushy nest and ate it in a big gulp. However, Li Ziyuan's vision did not leave and sat on Guo Laosan in front of him.

When Li Ziyuan was gobbling down the nest, Guo Xiaoshan walked to his father's side and said, "Dad, I won't go back with you." I like to be on the team, and I also like Brother Li. I want to stay in the team and fight devils with Brother Li. Other people's children can be soldiers, but the instructor is still a woman, why can't I? ”

Li Ziyuan, who was sitting on the side eavesdropping on the conversation between Guo Xiaoshan and Guo Laosan, was a little secretly happy when he heard Guo Xiaoshan's clear statement. Guo Xiaoshan is a clever ghost, and he didn't need to do his own work to find his father to express his position. It's just that when Guo Xiaoshan mentioned that Chang Juan was also a woman, he had a tone of biting small words, but Li Ziyuan didn't hear the difference.

Guo Xiaoshan's words made Guo Laosan stunned, and he was silent for a long time before he looked at his stubborn son in front of him, and sighed: "You really made up your mind, just don't go back with me, you have to be with them?" As a soldier, I have seen a lot, no matter what the team is like that, you must know that the crows in the world are generally black. ”

"Whether it is this army or that army, it is all to levy salaries and urge food, send money, and let the people feed. Those of them who are officials hold you higher than the sky when they use you, and they turn their faces faster than they turn books when they don't use you. If you don't go with your dad now, you won't be able to leave when you want to. ”

Regarding Guo Laosan's reply, Guo Xiaoshan said resolutely: "Dad, they are different. Look at Captain Li and the instructor, they gave all the meat you gave them to the brothers to eat. Usually except for the training ground, the captain and we are all giggling and mingling. ”

"As long as we don't go to the training ground, we can go to the captain's bowl to grab meat and eat it when we eat. Have you seen such a team in any other army? Dad, the devil has hit us now, we can't wait at home for the devil to stab a bayonet in our chest, but we don't even resist. ”

"Some time ago, more than 100 villagers in Wangjiagou were all slaughtered by devils. They were killed by Japanese devils in the land where they had lived for generations. What did they do wrong? If we don't resist now, will we wait until the devil stabs us in the chest with a bayonet? ”

After saying this, looking at Guo Laosan, who was unresponsive, Guo Xiaoshan hurriedly said: "Dad, no matter what, I just won't leave." Even if you tie me back with a rope, I'll still run out if I find a chance. Anyway, you can't tie me up at home for the rest of your life, I'm a soldier. ”

Guo Xiaoshan's stubborn expression made Guo Laosan speechless for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and said, "It's okay, my son can't help my father." You're sixteen, and you should have an idea for yourself. You have to leave sooner or later, and it doesn't make much difference if you leave a year or two earlier in this troubled world. ”

"Now that you've made up your mind, don't regret it later. Although your Captain Li has a little more crooked ideas, he seems to be a sincere person, and maybe it's not a bad thing to follow him. After saying this, Guo Laosan looked very lost. He didn't say a word, just sat on the edge of the fire and silently wiped the old sleeve rifle.

To be honest, if you change any parent, watching your child grow up and leave your side, everyone will be uncomfortable. Especially when his son goes, it is a battlefield of bullets and bullets, and every parent will be happy? As for Guo Laosan, who was expressionless under his eyes, whether he had other thoughts in his heart, Li Ziyuan didn't think too much.

And Li Ziyuan, who seems to be holding the head of the roasted nest and gnawing on the side, but has actually been listening with his ears up. Hearing the final result, I almost didn't have joy in my heart: "My sons are all staying, so Lao Tzu will be easy to do." This guy is such a son as Guo Xiaoshan, unless he really doesn't want to see his son again. ”

"Otherwise, when he sees his son on the battlefield, he, who is a father, will not really stand by coldly. As long as he can stay for a day, then a month or more is still far away. With a handle in hand, things are much easier to do. Thinking of this, if Guo Laosan was in front of him, it would be very rude to laugh out loud, and Li Ziyuan would probably laugh happily.

It's not that Li Ziyuan has any other ideas, but he is also for the survival of the army. Living in the mountains does not mean being familiar with the ways of mountain warfare. All the fighters in the army were basically peasants. There is strength, but there is still a big difference between carrying a hoe handle and carrying a gun.

Moreover, farmers who are busy with the land are familiar with the mountains and forests, but they are not as familiar with the mountains and forests as a hunter who is active in the deep mountains and old forests all day long. As for how to carry out work in the future, Li Ziyuan already has a certain plan. According to his plan, what he needs most urgently at the moment is someone like Guo Laosan.

A hunter is not only a question of good marksmanship, but also the sensitivity to danger and familiarity with mountains and forests that this hunter has developed after dealing with fierce beasts for a long time. Most guerrilla warfare in the mountains is based on melee combat, or even encounters. If Guo Laosan can be left behind, Li Ziyuan believes that his troops can be more flexible, at least tactically.

Li Ziyuan, who has a small abacus in his heart, seems to be in a relaxed mood at the moment. After telling the troops to pay attention to vigilance, there is no need to put a mobile sentry, and there must be more than two people to get up at night. Li Ziyuan, who was in a relaxed mood, quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep. Seeing that Li Ziyuan, who was still a little worried during the day, but was asleep at the moment, Guan Li, who was beside him, could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

In fact, Guan Li didn't know that Li Ziyuan was indeed asleep. But at this moment, Li Ziyuan was sleeping very lightly, and his right hand was always on the handle of the gun with the holster buckle had been opened. The dagger in the cuff of his left hand was held upside down in his hand and did not let go, and he could shoot immediately if there was an abnormality.

In addition to being in his most stable base, he should also keep one eye open when he sleeps in all places, which is Li Ziyuan's famous saying. In this impenetrable old forest, how could he really relax his vigilance and sleep with his eyes closed?

Although Li Ziyuan's sleep this night was not easy, it was very relieved. When the next day dawned, Li Ziyuan, who woke up, felt refreshed. After gently flattening Guo Xiaoshan, who was sleeping very heavily next to him, Li Ziyuan, who walked to the stream and washed his face, felt very comfortable.
