Chapter 80: Revenge for the Mule
The mule thieves were out of range of their bows and arrows, and they could only watch as they crossed the river unhurriedly, carried the sheepskin raft a little upstream, and then got out of the raft again and turned into a reed ditch, where they vanished. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Half an hour later, an auxiliary soldier on a raft carrying the stuffy eggs and the orphaned boss with the radio on his back floated down the river.
A dragon unceremoniously summoned the three of them, carried the radio himself, and beckoned Yang Liu and several other archers to get on the raft, and the raft sailed steadily into the river. The sheepskin raft itself has no power and can only float along the water, but the person who drives the raft can grasp the left and right directions of the raft. A dragon opened his bow left and right, and the sheepskin raft accurately drew a large diagonal line on the surface of the river, directly entering the reed ditch of the mule thieves on the opposite bank.
The gang that stole and killed the mules was undoubtedly bandits. They must have not dared to float past the camp last night, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they took the tributaries of the Shennong River instead, made a big circle, and switched back to the Shennong River here. The reeds on the opposite side are nine times out of ten bandits' dens.
Sun Tong kept talking all the time. There are many forks in the reeds on the opposite side. They searched for about an hour without results, and Sun Yi was worried that he would fall into an ambush too deeply, so he ordered his team to withdraw.
A dragon appeared on the opposite bank on a sheepskin raft, and Yang Liu and the soldiers were all dejected. Sun Yi took them ashore and comforted: "I've been busy all day, and I haven't eaten yet, so go back to the camp first!" ”
There are three more people, and there are not enough animals to ride. Sun Yi unexpectedly arranged for the orphan boss to stay overnight with the radio and two soldiers to monitor at night.
On the way, everyone's morale was very low, and Sun Yi opened his mouth, "Don't care about these bandits for now, think about our mission this time." How do you think this place should be a new settlement? ”
The sulkey replied, "The place is a good place!" The water near the water can water the ground, the soil is also fertile, and it is easy to grow crops! ”
Sun Yi looked at Yang Liu, who was hanging his head, "Whether it can be used as a settlement depends on whether it can be defended!" ”
Yang Liu raised his head and pondered, "There is a big river and reeds to the north of this place, and it is impossible for a large group of people to come from the north. To the south, across a few small rivers is the old camp in the woods, which should also be safe. There are only two directions left......
A dragon continued: "To the east is Hongliu Bay." The water forks of Hongliu Bay are crisscrossed, and the red willows are dense, and it takes a lot of trouble for a large group of people to come from the east. If a camp is set up at the narrow mouth of the Shennong River and the Qianmuzi River just now, it will block the traffic choke point in the east. As for the west, it is the hinterland of the Wolf Mountain River, and there is a natural strong mule river. If the brigade wants to come from the west, it must first go deep and kill one of them......"
"That is to say, although this terrain is not as safe as the forest camp, it is also very rare, right?" ”
Yang Liu and Yilong both nodded yes.
In fact, Sun Yi has taken a fancy to this land for a long time, there is no room for development in the forest camp, and the lack of living water alone restricts agriculture and industry, and if you want to gain a long-term foothold, you must get out of the woods. However, Sun Yi has no experience in the military, so he still has to listen to the opinions of professionals.
Sun Yi asked, "This place relies entirely on rivers as natural risks, and if it freezes in winter, are these natural risks useless?" ”
Yilong replied, "As long as the thief can withstand the cold, it will naturally be flat in winter." ”
Yang Liu smiled bitterly, "There are not many people who can endure the winter in this place. ”
The stuffy man asked Yang Liu, "You guys are here in winter, right?" ”
Yang Liu nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It is said that it should be the New Year, but when it has not yet thawed, it is still too cold at that time." ”
"Do you know that this place is a nomad's winter camp?" If the nomads come to attack in winter, will you not be able to hold it at all? ”
Yang Liu was aroused, "If I had a nomad's sheepskin jacket, just our wooden village, I could guard from the beginning of winter to the thawing, and then the mud would be everywhere, and the nomads would not be able to advance or retreat!" ”
One dragon said: "In that case, you don't have to stay until the thaw, the nomads will definitely withdraw." ”
Sun Yi's heart moved, and he urged his mount, saying, "I'm going to settle this place!" Hurry up back to the camp, have dinner and have a conference call with the old camp in the woods! ”
On the camp wall, Sun Yikong sat on the wooden board with his calves hanging, a dragon and Yang Liuyi sandwiched Sun Yi on the left and right, and the stuffy egg moved a temporary ladder and pestle opposite Sun Yi, holding a pot of boiled wild duck eggs, which the orphans picked up at the wild duck beach today. The four of them put their mouths close to the radio station on Sun Yi's left chest, and were talking to the old camp.
Sun Yi found that although the sound quality of his handset was much better than that of the other two walkie-talkies, the power of the walkie-talkie was indeed greater than that of the handset. Use the walkie-talkie to communicate with the old battalion, just on the ground; If you change to a hand table, you have to climb higher.
In the old camp, the conference call was attended by Ri Falling, Wang Erniu, Director Tie, Ha Laocai, Jia Daoshi, and four newly elected production team captains to observe.
Sun Yi's handset has a voice-activated auto-launch function, so you don't have to press and hold the launch button while speaking. Sun Yi peeled the wild duck eggs with both hands, and in line with the idea of training cadres, he asked Yilong and Yang Liu to report to the old camp in advance last night and today, and then exchange the advantages and disadvantages of setting up a settlement here with the old camp.
It can be heard that several people on the old camp side are very interested in building a new settlement.
Sun sent the peeled duck egg forward, and the stuffy egg on the opposite side opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. Sun Yi wiped his hands and said into the microphone,
"Let's put it this way, a new settlement is a matter of life and death for the whole battalion! Have you ever wondered how to spend the winter in this place? ”
How to survive the harsh winter of the wolf mountains and rivers is actually a topic that everyone is worried about and unwilling to talk about, and subconsciously, everyone is still living one day at a time and earning one day at a time.
"On the Osaka slope to the east of Hongliu Bay, there is a shallow coal mine that can be dug out with a shovel. But how to get the coal back is a big problem, and I think the only way to go is by water. ”
In fact, in the later generations, the Hetao Plain was surrounded by small open-pit coal mines, and I don't know how many coal bosses broke out, and the Osaka Slope in the east was the closest. If you look at it from the sky, the black coal pits are as conspicuous as scars on the earth. Using the satellite map positioning of later generations, Sun Yi is sure that when the time comes, he will dig a quasi!
Sun Yi continued, "There are so many wild ducks here, we can use wild duck feathers as winter clothes." I dare not say that it is not a problem to make a hundred and eighty sets for people who go out in winter. ”
The down jacket was the idea that Sun Yi came up with when he saw Yang Liu decorating the three-eyed gun with male duck feathers. Wild ducks have to change their feathers once a year, every spring and summer, wild ducks fly from the south to the north to winter, will shed thick winter feathers, change to wear thin summer clothes, after a summer of eating, autumn and winter come, summer feathers thicken and become winter feathers. Collecting eiderdown duck feathers is as simple as sending the kids to pick them up, and now is the time.
Sun Yi said, "Today I saw the boundless reeds on the opposite bank, and I had a whim, the tidbits of the reeds are very similar to cotton, I don't know if I can keep warm?" Do any of you have experience? Come to an end. ”
"End" is a reminder to the other party, indicating that the old camp can speak.
The voice of Jia Daoshi trembling with excitement came from the walkie-talkie, "Of course Luhua can keep warm!" Haven't you heard the allusion of the twenty-four filial piety to Luyi's mother? ”
It may be that the Taoist priest remembered that the conference call had to finish one thing at a time, and he couldn't ask and answer questions like chatting, and Daoist Jia himself gave an explanation,
Lu Yi's mother is an allusion in the Analects, the biological mother of Min Yi, a disciple of the Confucian sage, died early, and his father married his wife and gave birth to two sons. The stepmother dressed her two younger brothers in winter clothes made of cotton, but Min Zhen wore winter clothes made of reed flowers. One day, when his father went out, Min Min shivered due to the cold while pulling the car, and dropped the rope on the ground, and his father knew that Min Min was being abused. The father wanted to divorce his wife, and Min Yu said: 'The mother is cold in one son, and the mother is in the third son'. When the stepmother heard about it, she remorseed and knew her mistake. ”
This allusion fully shows that reed flowers can be used as winter clothes, not only winter clothes, but also winter bedding! The reeds on the other side of the bank are boundless, wouldn't it be as much as there are, it's a big deal, let's make the reeds thicker! Hey, don't squeeze don't squeeze ......"
Wang Erniu's excited voice came, "So, as long as we take the Shennong River, we will have a place for the winter!" ”
The sun fell and laughed, "Heaven's will, the bandits on the other side don't come to provoke us, we haven't had an excuse to clean them up, and now that we have fallen under the pretext of stealing and killing our mules, we want to avenge our mules!" Hahahaha......"
"Click", a childish and resolute voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Avenge our strong mule!" We resolutely keep an eye on the thieves' den and not let a single thief escape! ”
It turned out that it was the orphan boss, who was also listening, and couldn't help but interject. This kind of interjection Sun Yi can hear, but because the sun is falling, because he pressed the launch button, he can't receive it.
"Hahahaha", the sun is falling and laughing enough, "Master, how do you say this battle!" Come to an end. ”
Sun Yi said word by word, "The first battle must be a complete victory, and the chicken is killed with a knife!" - Momentum! Playing majestic!! Make a name for yourself!! ”
