Can you believe it?

However, in just three years, Daze, which is between Yancheng and Linjiagou, has slimmed down into a winding Xiaoyan River.

Everywhere he went, there were clods of earth that had cracked into patches, and the once verdant had long been fixed in memory, replaced by charred yellow and withered. From time to time, you can see the pale bones of various animals, displayed horizontally and vertically on the ground.

No need to ask, it must be a bloody case caused by drinking water! Animals don't seem to understand what sustainability is, they instinctively compete for water, hunt for food, and eat today's meal, whatever tomorrow!

So, there are fewer and fewer animals!

The moonlight is like water, sprinkled on the remaining warm earth. The group was staggering through the desolate wilderness, and from time to time there were shouts of reprimands:

"Hurry up, if you don't want to die, go faster!"

"If you can't stand it, you have to hold on! The head of the regiment is still waiting for us to return with good news! ”

…………

"You're looking for me? Who are you? ”

Cao An was woken up from a good dream, rubbing his eyes while trying to remember what these clay figurines were! The team leader who came to the top of the team wiped his face, trying to wipe the mud off his face, but the more he brushed it, the dirtier it became. He had no choice but to take off his hat and salute with a big bald head!

"Comrade Cao An! I am Wang Yihang, the guard captain of the head of the Yancheng base! Well, when you first came to the base a few years ago, we also had hot pot together, do you remember? ”

"Oh! It's you! What are you doing here? The sun is so big outside, is there something wrong? ”

Cao An actually recognized who he was at all, the last time he went to the base was during the ice disaster, he was tightly wrapped in hats and scarves, and he was so anxious when he sat together to eat hot pot that he didn't have time to remember what his face looked like.

However, the terrain of Linzhuang is remote, and there is only one wild goose city in Fangyuan. In today's mobile phone navigation failure, the possibility of other people looking for it in vain is almost zero.

Cao An had nothing to question their identity, what he didn't understand in his heart was: why did they find Lin Zhuang in such dangerous weather?

"Comrade Cao An, on behalf of Head Xu and everyone in the Yancheng base, we are here to ask you for help! At present, the Yancheng base is in an emergency for grain storage, and there is a risk of running out of grain at any time. Please be sure to save us for the sake of everyone who knows each other and is all compatriots! ”

"Ahh This ......"

When Captain Wang said this, his voice was a little choked, and the dignified iron-blooded tough guy was helpless like a child at the moment. The group of guards behind him couldn't help but shake their bodies, and their dirty faces showed hopeful glances.

This made Cao An feel a lot of pressure, and before that, he must have agreed without hesitation! But now, he had the heart to agree but didn't dare to make a decision privately, because there was not much food in Linzhuang!

The people in my village still rely on digging insects and sweet potatoes to make a living, so how can there be extra food to help others? What's more, it's not one or two mouths, but hundreds of thousands of empty bellies are singing empty city plans!

"Before Commander Xu leaves, let me tell you: Cao boy, this time I want to rely on you!"

"Captain Wang, I really can't call the shots! In this way, we will discuss it with Lin Zhuang and give you an answer! It's been a hard journey, so I'll find you a place to live first. However, don't report too much hope, we have few people in Linzhuang, and taking out the grain storage is also a drop in the bucket for the base! ”

"Good! Something is better than nothing, don't be afraid of your jokes, our Yancheng base is now attacking from all sides, and eight squads are scattered to the nearby base for help. We are the closest we have traveled, and the brothers may still be on the way, and we don't know if we can find the land! ”

Captain Wang's words made his team silent, and everyone's hearts were heavy, as if their chests were pressed by a boulder, and they couldn't breathe!

Lin Zhuang is a short journey of 100 miles, and he has walked for three nights and folded two teammates. One got stuck in the swamp and didn't come up, and the other was dragged away by the black fish monster when he went to the river to get water.

And what about the other seven teams?

The nearest Leishui base is 200 miles away, and the farthest provincial base is more than 500 miles!

"Jiren has his own nature! Don't think so much, let's drink saliva to moisten your throat! The sun is about to come out, so I'll send you to a resting place first! ”

Cao An's heart is also uncomfortable, he has been in the army for five years, and he understands this kind of relationship between comrades-in-arms the most. I understand more that soldiers often disregard life and death when it comes to carrying out orders!

It's a pity that he can't help anything!

"It's nice to have water to drink! Let me tell you, the water of the Yan River is not drinkable at all, and it must be boiled! ”

"What's going on? Is it difficult to see parasites in the water? ”

"Yes, it's a parasite! A large number of parasites, visible to the naked eye! ”

"It seems that we will have to boil water to drink in the future, hey, this world! How could it be so hard! ”

arranged a place to stay, and sent half a piece of dried meat and a dozen catties of sweet potatoes, Cao An and Lin Yue convened a meeting of the top management of Lin Zhuang.

In fact, the parents of the Lin family's mansion came to the meeting!

Lin Yi frowned, patted off the chopsticks held in Guo Fan's left hand, and was the first to refuse: "If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone!" We can't even manage our relatives and friends so much, where do we have the ability to help hundreds of thousands of people? Brother-in-law, don't be carried away by their kind words, this is no joke! ”

"That's right! But they came to their homes with all their begging. Send them away without giving them something, as if ...... We also accepted the favor of Captain Xu, which is unacceptable! ”

Guo's father's point of view was unanimously agreed by the men present, and Cao An narrowed the smile in the corner of his eyes. Xiao Sheng was afraid of being afraid, he didn't dare to say his thoughts at all, without it, planting has never been his strong point, and after so many years of hoeing, he still can't dig a straight vegetable ridge.

It used to be the economy that determined the status! Now, only the good farmer has the absolute right to speak. Uncle Cao frowned at the Sichuan character, he was already a little bitter, and he looked more like a bitter gourd face:

"Last year's harvest was good! But last time, I sent a batch to Johor Bahru Town, and now there is not too much left! If I support them with a batch of seed potatoes, I don't have a problem. But if we feed them to fill their bellies, our storage here is not enough for them to eat! ”

"That's right! It's not that we don't help them, but we really have the heart and are powerless. The population base of Yancheng is too large, and we don't know where to start if we want to help. Moreover, now I don't know how long the drought will last, after the network is disconnected, what is the situation outside, we don't know anything when our eyes are dark! It is said that it is better to die than to live, but who wants to live if you can live well? I think we'd better take care of ourselves! ”

Lin Sangu has always been a selfish person, and she has never concealed her selfishness, and she has interpreted openly and honestly that people only have to be good to themselves when they live!

The true self is often more popular than hypocrites, and even Cao An has to admit that what she says does have some truth. But why is this always so unhappy?

"Lin Yue, what do you think?"
