In a blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and Li Zhongjiang proposed to release the brothers in the secret camp and prepare some food for the New Year. Jackie Chan agreed www.biquge.info, but he said that at this time, the beast does not come out during the day, and the beast that is about to survive the long winter now comes out at night, but it is dark and difficult to catch. However, there may be fish in the bubble we use at the bottom of the mountain, so you can try it.
"We've reserved some things, but not enough, and it would be great if we could get some more, but it's not easy to get in order. I remembered that the commander-in-chief and I were on the road that year, and in a short time we made a lot of fish, and he had the experience to let the brothers go with him. If we can get it done, we will be more lively this year, I also support it, go ahead! Commissar Kim also expressed his support.
"In the winter, we put the fish in the bubble that the commander said. It is to hold the outlet out of the water and catch a lot of fish from it. Now I see that there must be fish in it, and the fish that survive the winter are concentrated here, but we don't have a net, so we can't catch them. Li Zhongjiang looked helpless, and shook his head while explaining.
"There are so many of us, just take a few more eyes and dry the water." Yu Jackie Chan suggested.
"This bubble is connected to a small river, and the water is very difficult to drain." Li Zhongjiang said.
"Tomorrow, lead someone to take a look, find a way to block the place where the water enters, and see if it works." Yu Jackie Chan said.
Although they didn't think there was much hope, everyone was still very excited and started preparations that night. Early the next morning, Yu Chenglong and Li Zhongjiang led people to the big bubble in front of the mountain and carefully inspected it. Yu Chenglong said that this bubble is too big, even if the place where the water enters is blocked, it can't be done, because the groundwater of this bubble is also connected to the river, and the water can't be drained.
"There is a small bubble not far from here, don't look small, the water is not shallow, and I also caught fish there in winter, and in summer it is connected to the big bubble." Li Zhongjiang said.
"Let's go, let's see." Yu Chenglong followed Li Zhongjiang to a smaller bubble.
"This line can drain the water, but there may not be big fish in it, because its water area is too small, and big fish will not choose to spend the winter here." Yu Jackie Chan said.
"Xiaoyu is okay, how about we try it?" Li Zhongjiang came to the spirit.
"Beat a few more eyes, line them up, call a few more brothers to come, and dig out water. I led the people to build a waterway first, so that the water could flow out. After Yu Chenglong finished speaking, he took the lead in doing it.
Li Zhongjiang asked a few people to follow Yu Chenglong to repair the waterway with snow, and he led a few people to make ice eyes on the ice.
Before the waterway and the ice cave were completed, more than 20 brothers came with basins and buckets, and everyone drilled the ice hole and repaired the waterway together, and worked for most of the day, and the preparations were ready. Li Zhongjiang gave an order, and more than a dozen people pulled water out of the ice cave together, and the rest of the people changed shifts and watched the waterways, afraid that the water would flow back again.
Seeing the water in the bubble retreating, everyone was more energetic, shouting to dig out the water, eager to use all the strength that had been held back for a winter. This bubble is not very big, and in addition, it is very deep in winter, and the water from the bubble is insufficient, and the gap between the water and the frozen ice surface is getting bigger and bigger, and some people have already picked up toads and small fish. When they saw the fish, everyone was in higher spirits and desperately pulled out water. 'Fish red eyes' and 'fish red eyes', this is not false at all.
"Enlarge the ice hole and dig more water. A dozen of you tied up your pants and prepared to go fishing. Lin Chuang quickly ran back and got some wine and gave them some drink! Li Zhongjiang was as excited as he was directing a battle.
The water was almost exhausted, and a dozen brothers picked up the fishermen, broke the basket, drank a few sips of wine, jumped down the ice hole like a tiger, and fished up.
"There aren't many fish, they're all toads!" Lin Chuang shouted when he saw this.
"Anything, work hard, and it will freeze for a while." Li Zhongjiang also shouted loudly.
A dozen brothers stood knee-deep in the water, quickly fishing up, looking very brave. The people over there are still digging water, the people here are riveting and fishing, and Lin Chuang is running back and forth to pass orders. Yu Chenglong saw that more than a dozen brothers couldn't stand it, so he let them come up, took a sip of wine, and ordered them to run back to the secret camp quickly. At the same time, he ordered more than a dozen brothers to go into the water and catch fish as before.
After a long time, fewer and fewer fish and toads were caught in the water. Yu Chenglong and Li Zhongjiang took a look and felt that it was almost over, so they asked the brothers to come up and let them run back to the secret camp.
The fish and toads that were caught jumped on the ice a few times and frozen. Looking at the fruitful loot, everyone's hearts are happy.
"Bring some back with everyone, bring back the tools too, and come back tomorrow!" Li Zhongjiang's excitement continued unabated.
The rest of the people carried their tools and brought some fish and toads back, and put the ones that were not taken on the ice.
"I think these are enough for us to eat for a New Year, and tomorrow we will transport them back to the secret camps and divide them equally. Let's stop tidying up, there's nothing in there, and the water will be full tomorrow. Yu Chenglong said to Li Zhongjiang as he walked back.
"Let's see the situation tomorrow, if not, let's figure out the big one."
"Why are you addicted? I can't see that big. ”
"Then let's look for it again to see if there are any such small ones, and then make it a guy to ensure that the brothers have enough to eat." This year's New Year is accompanied by the commander-in-chief, and there are so many delicious foods, the brothers are so happy, if they can be on the hour again tomorrow, they will be happier than the gods! 'Stick and roe deer scoop fish' is not false at all, we are really a good place here, but unfortunately it is occupied by fucking little Japan. Wait for the brothers to raise their physique and rush out of the mountain to kill him on his back! ”
This anti-Japanese hero from the Northeast Army, since he merged with the Manchurian National Salvation Army, he has resisted Japan with an iron heart, regardless of gains and losses. Right now, Li Zhongjiang is even more excited, but he shouts while walking with a loud voice. The two talked and laughed together, and unknowingly returned to the secret camp.
"It's really yours, when did you think of this? Quick, hand over what you have brought back, and I will divide them into the secret camps, so that they can all eat this excellent delicacy in the evening, and be happy in advance! Jin Yunji, who was facing the entrance of the brigade department, said as she took over the tools in Jackie Chan's hand.
"It's enough to eat, and there's quite a lot of it down the mountain." Li Zhongjiang smiled and threw the toads and small fish he brought back into the fish pile, and continued to say excitedly: "Leave me some big ones!" ”
"It's not going to work, it's divided evenly among people." Jin Yunji said with a smile.
"Don't be too picky, I'll take someone to fix it tomorrow." Li Zhongjiang also said with a smile.
"Don't listen to him, it's better to save a little, maybe you can fix it tomorrow. Tell the brother who went into the water, bake your clothes dry, don't catch a cold, and go to change a group of people tomorrow. Yu Chenglong also put down the fish he brought back.
Dinner is naturally stewed fish and toad. As the saying goes, 'stinky fish and rotten shrimp, send food to the family', and the brothers eat with a full belly.
The next day, Yu Chenglong and Li Zhongjiang continued to take people to the whole fish, but after looking for a small day, they couldn't find a suitable place, so everyone had to give up and pack up the fish from the previous day.
"It's the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month today, and we have to prepare for the New Year. It seems that this winter has passed safely. On New Year's Day, let the brothers get together and have fun! Yu Chenglong said to Li Zhongjiang.
"When I went to look for Yu Wozi, I found a line of footprints, which were left by the rhino or the deer when they came to drink water, and they had been stepped on very solidly, and I took someone to the next few sets tonight to see if it would work." Li Zhongjiang said.
"Then go ahead." Yu Chengchan did not stop him and went back to his secret camp to rest.
On the twenty-ninth day, Jin Yunji ordered all the secret camps to prepare for the New Year, and of course, the most important thing was to prepare food. When it was almost dark, Li Zhongjiang and the others really carried back a big male calf.
"Come on, someone, we've caught a big one! The meat hasn't frozen yet, and I'll have it cut open on the mountain, or I'll be hard to take. This guy is so big, and he was active when he went, and it cost two bullets. Li Zhongjiang shouted a little ostentatiously from afar.
"You came back at the right time, and you are indebted. Quickly cut off the good meat and soak it, I let the sisters of the women's camp chop the stuffing, and make dumplings for everyone tomorrow, we have white noodles, and I am worried about what kind of stuffing to wrap with, you are really a charcoal in the snow, I thank you on behalf of all the brothers! Jin Yunji smiled all over her face and beckoned her sisters to work all night.
On the day of the Chinese New Year, breakfast was eaten very late. After ten o'clock, everyone put on the clothes they usually don't wear, packed up cleanly, and came to the team headquarters one after another.
"Make dumplings quickly, leave a few, make dumplings with the sisters in the women's camp, and prepare to eat them in the middle of the night. The rest will go to the platform in front of us, and let's twist the Yangge and dance! Jin Yunji ordered loudly.
Many people wanted to make dumplings, and in the end, Jin Yunji had to pick out seven or eight people.
"The rest of the people will go to twist Yangge, and the women's battalion will also send some people first, and everyone will go after making dumplings, and Captain Li will be in charge there, and I will go later." Kim Yun-hee said.
There were no musical instruments, and everyone shouted the Yangge tune together, lined up in two columns, and danced the big Yangge. The snow on the platform was deep, and people fell and got up, looking a little messy. It didn't take long for the snow to be flattened, and a huge platform was turned into a smooth square. Li Zhongjiang let the twisted ones in front and the unskilled ones in the back, jumping around the platform. At first, it was also varied and a little messy, but under the unified command of Li Zhongjiang, it gradually got better, and it was really like that.
Li Zhongjiang threw his hat aside, his hands danced desperately and shouted, his head was steaming hot, and his beard was covered with hoarfrost, like a Santa Claus in the mountains.
After making dumplings, everyone gathered on the platform, there were really a lot of women in the mountains, there were more than thirty people, although they were all men's clothes, but Jin Yunji made each of them wear a small red flower on their hats, and it was easy to tell who was a woman. At this time, everyone joined the team of twisting the big Yangge, and the whole mountain was shrouded in a joyful atmosphere.
"I'm tired of dancing, let's rest for a while." Jin Yunji shouted.
Everyone slowly stopped, some sat down on the spot, and a few brothers who were still unsatisfied still stood and hung around.
"Let's play 'hugging the daughter-in-law', two men and one woman, voluntarily combined, and then collided with each other, winning two out of three games. Win more than five dumplings and two wines. The commander-in-chief, me, and Captain Li are the referees. Now find a guy first, and then get started. "Commissar Kim has arranged a new way to play.
The brothers shouted and hugged each other, and the ranks of more than eighty people were somewhat chaotic and snatched each other. Bi Ming, Jiao Cheng and Monroe are a group of three. Of all the women, only Monroe is wearing women's clothes, which is very conspicuous. Because of Lin Chuang's young age, no one wanted to join him, and in the end, Jin Yunji was assigned. There were a few women left, because there weren't so many men. Kim Yun-hee decided that the winner of the first round could be replaced by a woman. Once the assignment is complete, the game begins.
Bi Ming and their group were the first to appear, he and Jiao Cheng crossed their hands and clasped each other, Monroe rode up, they lifted her up, landed on one foot, and collided with their opponents. Since they landed on one foot first, it took a long time, and they fell and lost in the first game after a few rounds, and the three of them rolled together in embarrassment, and everyone laughed.
"This time you have to stand up first, I'll shout one, two, three and then start." Kim Yun-hee emphasized.
The four of them stood opposite each other and lifted the woman up, and Jin Yunji shouted, 'One, two, three, start!' One foot of the four men lifted off the ground at the same time, and the duel began again. The people next to him laughed and shouted, 'Come on, do it!' ’。
In the first round, twelve winners are selected and then dueled. In the end, the group of Bi Ming, Jiao Cheng, and Monroe miraculously won and won the first place.
"Let the commander-in-chief go up and fight them!" Everyone shouted.
"This is not a result, it can only be regarded as a performance, and it is a win of six out of ten games." Kim Yun-hee said.
"All three of you are on, try and try!" Everyone is still shouting.
Yu Chenglong and Li Zhongjiang lifted Jin Yunji up and competed with Bi Ming and the three of them. At first, because Yu Chenglong and Li Zhongjiang were not skilled in their cooperation, they lost four games in a row, and later due to Bi Ming's physical strength, they were beaten back by Yu Chengchan and them, and in the end, Yu Jackie Chan and the three of them won.
"It's getting dark, and everybody is back to the team site. The few secret camps nearby can't accommodate these people, and everyone takes turns to go in to warm up, and even the women's camp is open to you, you can go in, but you are not allowed to touch the sisters' things. Set up a fire outside, stew meat, and stewed fish. Prepare everything you have brought, and bring back the frozen dumplings when the time comes. Jin Yunji gave another order.
Everyone shouted, ran to the brigade headquarters, and entered the women's camp first. And these women did not return to the camp, they were all arranged by Jin Yunji to go to the stewed meat and stew.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Jin Yunji asked Lu Yuan's brothers to go back to the secret camp first, bringing frozen dumplings, meat, vegetables, and wine.
"Let's have dinner together in the middle of the night on Chinese New Year's Eve. Light a fire in front of the brigade headquarters first, then light a fire in front of your secret camp, first kowtow to the Holy Lord of the Three Qings, distant parents, relatives, and brothers who have died in battle, and then fire three shots, and then eat dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve. Since the second year of junior high school, everything in the mountains has become regular, and sentry posts have been sent to guard it according to the rules. Now distribute dumplings to Lu Yuan's brothers and let them go first. Jin Yunji announced loudly, her face flushed with excitement.
Her emotions affected everyone, and everyone began to bless each other, hug, frolic, and then leave in groups. At about 11 o'clock in the evening, the fire was lit in front of the brigade department, and then the fire was lit in each secret camp. Yu Chengchan stood by the fire with the members of the brigade headquarters and some of the sisters of the women's battalion, commanded by Jin Yunji, and kowtowed deeply three times to the southeast. Then Li Zhongjiang took out his gun and fired three shots at Tianming. Gunshots were also heard from other secret camps, echoing in the valley on Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Come inside to eat dumplings, drink wine, and celebrate the new year!" Kim Yun-hee called everyone into the house.
More than a dozen people sat around. The hot dumplings were served, and everyone ate and drank together, talking and laughing, wishing each other, playing and frolicking, so festive. It wasn't until dawn that everyone reluctantly dispersed to sleep.
"There are still a lot of good chewy fruits sent by Commander Xiao a few years ago, and now they are sent to the secret camps, we must have a good time this year." Jin Yunji said during the first day of the new year.
"These boys are having a blast. The commander-in-chief and his wife celebrated the New Year with everyone, and there were so many delicious foods, they were happier than the gods. I will send it to the east with the commander-in-chief, liaison officer Bi, and liaison officer Jiao, and you and your wife, Lin Chuang, and a few sisters from the women's battalion will go to the west to send it off, eat wherever you go, and come back tomorrow night after dinner, and have a lively day with your brothers. Li Zhongjiang said.
In this way, Yu Chenglong and Li Zhongjiang led people to various secret camps to celebrate the New Year with their brothers, eating and drinking in almost every secret camp, and did not return to their secret camp until the evening of the second day of the new year.
Early in the morning of the third day of the junior high school, Yu Chengchan ordered Bi Ming and Jiao Cheng to go out of the mountain and contact the chief helmsman.
"Go and go back quickly, let the chief helmsman prepare according to the plan, and I will go out of the mountain to meet with him in the first month of the new year to discuss and implement the new plan. Stay safe on the road and take care! ”
Yu Chengchan personally sent Bi Ming and Jiao Cheng far away, and kept admonishing them. It wasn't until the two disappeared into the snowy mountains that Yu Chengchan returned to the secret camp and thought about his next move.
