Chapter Forty-Nine: Quitting Halfway Through
The children ran all night almost without much rest, and when the first dawn of the day came, as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan judged, they couldn't run one by one, and the sweat on their bodies wet their clothes, and as the temperature gradually rose, it was stuffy and hot, and a little cold from the inside out.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't care about anyone else, they came to a water station next to it, took off their clothes outside, washed them with water, put the retractable stick into the sand to prop it up, wet the hand towel again, wiped their arms and legs a little, and then put a blanket, and waited there for breakfast.
Originally, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were going to let the pomegranate pie send the out-of-the-ordinary hunter to deliver this breakfast, but everyone joined in, and Li Xun asked people to rush here by car first, saving Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan a lot of trouble.
"How? Zhang Xiaobao, do you think that I have made this arrangement? Don't let others bring things, just two meals, that's survival. ”
Li Xun now no matter what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan do, he will follow and learn, and at the same time he washed his clothes with water, he didn't know how to wash them, and wiped his arms and legs, and sat in front of the two of them to show his skills.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan shook their heads at the same time, took the porridge and drank it.
Li Xun was still waiting for the two of them to praise a few words, but he didn't expect such a result, looked at the porridge bowl in front of him, and asked unwillingly: "Could it be that something did wrong?" ”
"Of course, this is a place for children to play, what kind of wild survival? Survival in the wild, someone specially went to the front to give water? Someone will arrange two meals a day? Why don't you let yourself bring something? Are scouts not allowed to bring dry food when they go out? ”
Zhang Xiaobao asked a few questions in a row, but Li Xun couldn't answer.
Wang Juan also added here, "Yes, yes, there is also a resting tent, it should be carried by people, when they want to rest, they can rest when they want, and whoever goes to the last place first will be the victorious person, my family, oh, someone said, it is to give a chance to prepare, what you want to bring, and the person who protects you will only care when you can't stand it." ”
Li Xun listened carefully, felt that it made sense, and felt that it was not okay to do this, but he judged an important thing from Wang Juan's words, that is, the master really exists, and all this is also what the master said, well, write this down, too young children are not good, let children over ten years old try it.
Han Yongyao also dragged his heavy steps to this side at this time, lying next to him panting, and his eyes did not forget to glare at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan a few times.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don't care about this gaze at all, it's no problem for the two of them to cooperate to beat others, but they can't solve anything, there is still hatred that should be there, but they expose themselves, not moving him doesn't mean that they don't pay attention to him, they have to prepare after they go back, as for how to calculate, it depends on how the other party makes a move.
"What? If you don't take a break, you're on your way again? Li Xun and Zhang Xiaobao finished eating at the same time, and when they saw the two of them put down their chopsticks, they yawned and asked.
"Well, hurry home, don't play, give this thing to you." Zhang Xiaobao said a word, took out the saltpeter from the backpack, and the bowls that were put together.
"Home? You can get the first one, and then there will be a reward, and I have people make a few brands, and you will definitely get it. Li Xun didn't expect Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to go back, so he only stayed for two days, and felt a little reluctant, and wanted to use other benefits to attract the two of them.
Seeing what Zhang Xiaobao took out again, he asked suspiciously: "This is saltpeter?" Oh, I see, I made ice for eating, why didn't I think of it. ”
"It's not a pastime, it's used to save lives at critical times, it's most useful when a few people go together, you can help the people around you prevent heat stroke, and the main thing is to use ice to calm the wound, so just bring a little, if you want to bring more than you can bring water, even if it's hot water, it can also make people survive."
Zhang Xiaobao explained to Li Xun.
"Huh? That's how it works? Zhang Xiaobao, you're leaving, why don't you give me your backpack? ”
Li Xun understood this time, saltpeter is not made for people to eat casually, when he looked at Zhang Xiaobao's backpack and the two of them, he finally said what was in his heart, he believed that there were definitely good things in it.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan glanced at each other, shook their heads again, and Zhang Xiaobao said: "Li Gongzi, these things are enough for you to use, wait for you to use them almost, organize them again, and let you see new things when we come." ”
Interest is also a process that needs to be gradual, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don't want to expose everything so early, there are indeed things in the backpack, such as several different needles, threads separated from sheep intestines, small soldering irons, some good charcoal, and three-edged needles.
These are used to treat trauma and bleedlet to the human body, especially internal bleeding, although bloodletting with a triangular needle can not cure people, but it can be extended for some time, it is not suitable to take it out at this time, originally I was going to bring some pure fire yao, but later gave up.
"Okay, okay, I'll organize it again, be careful all the way." Li Xun didn't know what to say, he really wanted to snatch the backpacks of the two people, but he also knew that this belonged to killing chickens and taking eggs, and this time, he didn't have to expect people to bring him anything, so he had to say a word of blessing in passing.
"Haha, scared, right?" Han Yongyao, who heard Zhang Xiaobao and the others leaving not far away, suddenly shouted loudly, he was angry, and he was ready to take revenge on the two of them for a while, but he didn't expect them to go home after eating.
"Shut up." Without waiting for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to speak, Li Xun turned his head and scolded angrily.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ignored him at all, rinsed their mouths with water, patted their full stomachs, and walked towards the horizontal place outside the desert, where there was a dirt road where the car sent by the family was parked.
Han Yongyao didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with Li Xun, and he had to make amends with a smile, and after avoiding Li Xun's gaze, his eyes were fixed on the backs of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan leaving.
"Xiaobao, he must hate us to death." Wang Juan didn't have to look back to know what was going on over there.
"Well, hate it, go back and find a way to clean up his house, this kid really can't catch up with Li Xun, at least Li Xun won't show his attitude so obviously, Han Yongyao, a child, dares to show his hatred when he doesn't have his own power, he can only say that his family's tutor is not good, a good family will cultivate children from an early age, he can't do it, it means that his family can't do it either."
Zhang Xiaobao began to analyze the situation of the new neighbor through this matter, and continued: "With him as a child, you can still take advantage of it, hate, the more hate, the better, do you think I am bullying other people's children?" ”
"Children are bullied in the first place, otherwise how dare he treat us like this? It's not that we are small, the autumn harvest is coming, do you know how to peel the grain? After Wang Juan finished talking about the topic just now, he didn't want to talk about it more, and it turned into a technical matter.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded, "I know, I have seen others peel grain, grinding it into flour, and I have also seen that the rice is transported to a place dedicated to shedding people's skin, they first took out a cover with a big hole and put it on the motor, and the grain was poured inside, and most of it came out, and then replaced it with a cover with a small hole......." ”
"Okay, I know, you can get this motor when you go back, and I will prepare the cover, so that the dealer can save a lot of effort." Wang Juan stretched out his thumb and drew at Zhang Xiaobao.
"Ugh! Well, in fact, there is another one, which is to put the rice in the open field, dry it and beat it with something, and after the beating, it is raised by the wind, and I will make this thing. Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan with a serious face.
"This is what people do now, and they don't need you, and ask if you can make a simple machine that peels off the skin, like the one that uses livestock and manpower."
"No, we can't take off the skins of rice and wheat, so that the storage time is short, and the shell can be kept for two or three years, otherwise there will be that kind of small black worm in less than a year, keep the shelled one, and eat it now."
Zhang Xiaobao still has this experience, once the rice and flour are made, they must find a way to sell them, otherwise the price will be affected by the insects.
Wang Juan really didn't have this kind of experience, he was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "You didn't lie?" ”
"I can't use this kind of thing to deceive you, Kaiyuan, there will be more food in two years, take advantage of now, buy it back first, let's make cakes, rice cakes and other things to sell, don't move your own, this year's full harvest with shells, help me think of some pasta, take advantage of this winter to make more money, and it will not be easy to make money with food in the future."
Zhang Xiaobao talked to Wang Juan about the future, and seemed full of confidence, but Wang Juan didn't believe it, tilted his head slightly and asked, "Are you really planning to do so?" Selling some cake? ”
"Really." Zhang Xiaobao nodded firmly.
"Really?" Wang Juan's voice raised.
"Yes." Zhang Xiaobao's eyes widened and he nodded violently.
"Huh?" Wang Juan continued to raise his voice.
"Actually, in fact, there can be something else, you person, really, in order to ask so clearly, is it good that husband and wife know each other too well, I am trying my best to leave you with a sense of mystery, do you feel it?" Zhang Xiaobao compromised at this moment.
"I feel it, I feel that I don't want to live with you, hurry up, otherwise when I'm older, I'll marry An Lushan, see what you do?" Wang Juan threatened.
Zhang Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "You marry that fat man, well, okay, now he is in trouble, without me doing it, he will know who can't marry, regret him, hahahaha!" ”
"Zhang Xiaobao, you go down for me, I won't sit in a car with you."
