Chapter 5 Ideas for the South

Na Zhe nodded: "Oh, boss, I learned another trick from you, how do you know so much?" Zhao Zizhong said: "When I was in the army, wilderness survival training was commonplace, and I had to do it several times a year. Every time he was thrown into the mountains by a helicopter, he was given a knife, a compass, and a little salt. At most, you will be given two taels of rice, not even matches. In the forest, they eat raw meat when they catch prey, snakes, rats, and rats. Every day I am hungry and my eyes glow green. Once, after coming out, I ate more than a dozen fist-sized buns in one go. ”

Na Zhe said with emotion: "It's really not easy, watching the special forces played on TV are coaxing one by one, majestic and majestic, it turns out that they are all fake!" ”

Zhao Zizhong continued: "I also participated in the selection of special forces, where the standards are higher, our batch of more than 100 people, all of them are the top of various field units, and they have been practicing for more than three months, but none of them have been selected." We were not convinced, and asked their leaders to reason. The captain there said to us: 'You can't meet the requirements here, if you don't accept it, if you don't accept it, one of the soldiers in my base will be counted as one, whether it is a driver, a hygienist, or a cook, you can pick one and compare with him, whether it is cross-country running, 400-meter obstacles, or shooting, as long as any of you wins one, you can stay.'" In the end, we all lost, and none of us won a single subject. I picked a chef who looked a little fat, thinking that he must not be flexible enough, so I competed with him in the 400-meter hurdles, and the guy ran faster than a rabbit and pulled me for a minute. We all went back to our original unit in disgrace. So the special forces are really not so easy to enter, and they are full of cattle-level perverted characters. ”

Na Zhe stuck out his tongue: "It's really amazing, boss, why did you change jobs later?" How good it is to be in the army! ”

Zhao Zizhong sighed: "I was injured later, I couldn't stay in the army, our leader treated me well, introduced me to a big hotel as a security manager, the salary is quite high, I also met your sister-in-law there, and later we had a child." Now, if they get the news of my disappearance, they may be sad. ”

Na Zhe also lamented: "If my parents and my parents know that I am missing, they will be very sad, I am an only child, who will provide for them in the future." ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "Okay, cheer up, we have to live well, I'll go wash the roe deer meat, you wash the wild vegetables and mushrooms, and start cooking." In addition, don't throw away the roe deer skin, it will definitely be useful in the future. ”

Zhao Zizhong walked to the stream and washed the roe deer, cut off a piece of meat with a knife, and then cut it into small pieces and put it in the pot. Then he started a fire, put water in the pot and put it on the fire, and began to cook the soup. At this time, Nazhe washed the dishes, quickly put the wild vegetables and mushrooms into the pot, and added a little salt.

Zhao Zizhong said to Na Zhe: "There are two pots, both of them should be boiled in soup, one pot is definitely not enough to eat." I roasted the rest of the roe deer meat and feasted on it today. ”

Wei Hongye walked over with Du Dalei and Boris, and Du Dalei shouted: "Boss, we have finished our work, and we are waiting for dinner." After a tiring day, you have to drink two sips in the evening. ”

Zhao Zizhong shook his head: "No, you can't drink at night." We don't know the situation in this world at all, we have to be more careful, drinking alcohol will lower our vigilance and make people unresponsive, let's work hard tonight, add double posts, Lao Wei and Xiao Du in a group, Boris and Na Zhe in a group, I will stand on the last shift by myself. ”

Lao Wei came out to play a round: "Everyone listen to the captain, we should be careful, in addition, wine is a strategic reserve, and it cannot be used casually." If someone is injured, liquor can disinfect the wound and save lives at critical moments. If we can really go to a bustling big city, a bottle of wine can be sold at a sky-high price, then we will have no worries about food and clothing. ”

Du Dalei nodded: "If you don't drink it, you won't drink it, then keep it and wait for the opportunity to sell it for a big price." ”

So everyone got busy, and after a while the meal was ready, and the five of them gathered together, eating roasted roe deer meat, drinking fragrant soup, and chatting.

Na Zhe opened his mouth and said: "This food is really good, if you can eat such food every day, it is not bad to come to this wild place." ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "I am most worried about safety, if it is really in ancient times, there are still a lot of fierce beasts in the Northeast, the most powerful is the Siberian tiger, the wild adult male tiger weighs about 300 kilograms, the range of activity is 100 square kilometers, if the food is sufficient, the Siberian tiger rarely attacks humans." But we also need to be very careful not to go it alone. There are also wild wolves, wolves are social animals, hunt collectively, have a strong sense of community, I have heard of someone hunting a wolf before, and then going to a far place. The other members of the wolf pack followed him for thousands of miles, found the man, attacked him in groups, and killed him alive, avenging his companions. Therefore, if we encounter wolves in the future, we must be careful not to provoke them easily. ”

Wei Hongye added: "There is also a wild boar, that guy is also very ferocious, with rough skin and thick meat, and when he is angry, even the blind bear has to avoid it." ”

Zhao Zizhong took over the conversation: "Actually, what I'm most worried about is not the beast, but the human, when the beast has enough food, it will not easily attack the human." As long as we are careful not to provoke them, we will be fine. But human beings are different, there were very few Han people in the ancient Northeast region, most of them were nomads and fishing and hunting peoples, who knows what will happen to them. ”

Na Zhe said worriedly: "We can't stay in this mountain all the time, we will definitely go out in the future, I don't want to be a wild man for the rest of my life." ”

Wei Hongye added a few pieces of firewood to the fire and said: "I have seen the introduction of the Mohe area before, and the winter here is very early, and it begins to snow at the end of October every year, and the average temperature in winter is about minus 40 degrees, and the lowest temperature reaches minus 70 degrees. ”

Du Dalei immediately shouted: "I'm going, won't I freeze people into popsicles, this hellish place really can't stay." ”

Wei Hongye nodded: "I feel that the current climate should be almost the beginning of June, and it is estimated that it will enter winter in about four months. ”

Boris also said: "My hometown is near Moscow, where the temperature is very low in winter, but it can't be compared to here. ”

Zhao Zizhong put down the lunch box in his hand, stood up and walked a few steps, and said with a solemn face: "Brothers, it seems that we have to find a way to go south, if we continue to stay here, we will most likely not survive the winter." ”

Boris said: "It is more than 2,000 kilometers from here to Liaoning, and our supplies are simply not enough, and we have to prepare a lot of food. ”

Du Dalei said: "We can hunt while walking, there are so many stupid roe deer in the northeast, enough for us to eat." ”

Na Zhe decisively began to raise the bar: "You know how to eat, don't eat yourself as a stupid roe deer." ”

Wei Hongye said: "Hunting may not be able to be caught every day, we still have to try to stock up on as much food as possible, have food in our hands, and do not panic in our hearts." ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "Lao Wei is right, we have to reserve more food, we will eat some of the prey we will catch in the future, and the rest will be dried into jerky, everyone should not waste food, especially the food we brought from modern times, no one can use it." ”

Na Zhe rolled his eyes and said: "As the saying goes, 'the poor are rich', we need a lot of money to walk thousands of kilometers south, and it is not good to have no money to spend." ”

Wei Hongye smiled: "I know that you kid has that gold in mind, and I will take you to find the gold tomorrow." ”

Du Dalei asked, "Old Wei, can we really find gold?" ”

Wei Hongye said affirmatively: "It should be no problem, as long as the gold doesn't grow legs on its own and run, I can find it, don't forget that I studied geological exploration." According to historical records, there is a lot of gold in the Laogou River, and we can't finish it even if we are tired to death. ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "I'll know tomorrow, let's go to bed early today, and get up early tomorrow to look for gold." In addition, when you are on duty at night, you must be vigilant, never sleep, and the two of you must remind each other to keep the crossbow and knife at hand. A few more campfires. ”

Du Dalei looked at his watch and said suspiciously: "It's more than eight o'clock now, why is it not dark yet, could it be that the watch was broken during the crossing?" ”

Wei Hongye patted Du Dalei on the shoulder: "Xiao Du, it's not that your watch is broken, because this place is close to the North Pole, the sunshine hours in summer are extremely long, and there are 19 hours of sunshine a day on the summer solstice, and only five hours in the dark, and sometimes you can see the aurora." ”

Du Da Lei Le: "Then our group is not called night duty at all, it won't be dark for half a day, it's just on the day shift." ”

So there was no word for the night, the wind and the waves were calm, and there were no wild beasts to disturb them. Around six o'clock in the morning, everyone got up. Du Dalei was anxious and shouted: "Hurry up, set off to find gold immediately, and say you, little master, don't grind, hurry up and clean up." ”

Na Zhe said impatiently: "What is urging, haven't you heard, 'There are times in life that you must have it, and there is no time in life to force it', what should be yours must be yours, and you can't run." ”

Du Dalei grabbed Na Zhe's neck with both hands and shook his head: "Yo ho, you kid is still energetic, today I will loosen your bones and let you know why the peach blossoms are so red." ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "Okay, don't make trouble." Hurry up and clean up, heat up last night's food, everyone eat, and then let's go. ”

An hour later, everyone began to make their way north. As they did yesterday, Zhao Zizhong and Du Dalei opened the way in front, Wei Hongye took Na Zhe with him, and Boris followed up more than 100 meters behind. Gradually, I entered the mountains and forests.
