Prepare a picnic
Hunger is a big problem, and it can't be solved not because the team is scattered, but because everyone is dying in the barren desert.
It seems that the real sand cavalry was not frightened by the lack of food, and they continued to walk in a long and endless direction.
"Which of you still has food and water, I am thirsty and hungry." Lao Gao said a word, but no one responded to him, and everyone moved forward like a walking corpse in frustration.
Lao Gao, who had no choice, could only raise his voice a little, "Did you hear it, aren't you thirsty?" Aren't you hungry? ”
"Captain, are you hungry?" Finally, someone responded to Lao Gao's question.
"Yes! Do you still have something to eat? ”
"Commander, you are persistent. After another twenty kilometers, the whole team can rest. ”
"Do you think I can walk twenty kilometers?"
"Please also ask the regiment commander to insist on holding on, this is not a safe place yet, and hold on for another twenty kilometers, there is an ancient ruin there, which can provide us with temporary supplies."
"Is there water? If you don't have anything to eat, can you give me some water? ”
"A few people will carry the head of the regiment away." The other party did not answer Lao Gao's question, but called four people with young physiques and physical strength at the same time, ready to carry Lao Gao forward at a unit price.
"Don't! Other! Don't do this! Everyone is very tired, and you are carrying me, isn't it adding to the burden? ”
"We're younger than you, and you don't add much weight when you're old."
Four young men used the stretcher to lift Lao Gao, who was about to collapse, and at the same time someone handed him a military kettle, there is not only one bottom in the kettle, if it is usual, only two sips, the rest of the bottom of the pot can be drunk, but for long-term consideration, a sip of water is just to moisten the lips, and the rest is given to others to drink!
The kettle was passed to the four young men carrying the stretcher, and the four of them all smiled, "Commander, you should keep it for yourself, we just insist on it." ”
Someone shouted from one side of the line, "All on target!" ”
The loud voice was like a stimulant, and the team that had just been in a state of disorientation immediately rejuvenated, and all of them marched towards the goal in great strides.
Lao Gao is comfortable, and there are four people carrying him to relax and relax for a short time.
Twenty kilometers would not be difficult to move on the plains, but they were traveling in the desert, and the soft ground hindered the rapid movement.
The sparse team walked to the evening before reaching the final destination.
Lao Gao really admired the sand cavalry, there was no human being in the world with such perseverance, and he marched for more than eight hours in a state of no water and no supplies.
The team that arrived at the destination did not disband, but rested in an orderly manner, and part of it still insisted on defensive work. In case you encounter an unfamiliar team, it is dangerous to be unprepared. Those who did not have a vigilance mission arrived at their destination like mud, paralyzed in the sand.
The place where the Sand Cavalry chose to rest was an ancient ruin, which contained a hidden well, from which he obtained his drinking water. At the same time, there is a part of the physical objects buried here, and everyone has enough to eat a meal.
It's impossible to eat enough, and enough to ensure that you don't starve to death and have the stamina to walk all day.
"That's not enough food to get us out of the desert?"
The puzzled Lao Gao raised his own questions, and the sergeant major opposite smiled, "Think of a way, you can always satisfy all appetites." ”
The sergeant's smile was very weird, Lao Gao looked at the sergeant major suspiciously, the sergeant's gaze shifted, and the sergeant major was looking at a group of resting people.
Lao Gao seemed to understand the military's intentions, and Lao Gao replied in a low voice, "You don't want to eat them?" ”
Lao Gao once heard a rumor that when the Sand Cavalry did not have any food, he would choose some incapacitated or injured Sand Cavalry members to use as emergency rations.
Seeing Lao Gao's question, the sergeant major smiled, "Although we are poorly equipped, we are not uncivilized savages, and we don't eat the same kind." ”
"And what do you mean?"
"You'll find out for yourself in a moment."
Although Lao Gao has rich experience in surviving in the wild, his experience is only in books, and it is okay to command and command, but it is difficult to put it on the table for actual operation. The sergeant major wanted to show his abilities in front of him, and Lao Gao just waited for a miracle to appear. If the sand cavalry didn't eat it, there was really nothing worth eating in the desert.
A pot of hot water boiled, and the sergeant major made a full pot of tea. Tea is not a good tea, and throwing it into hot water is nothing more than dyeing the original water grass green.
Although it is not a good tea, you can drink a cup of hot tea at this time, which is enough to relax all the tension in the whole body.
The sergeant major was beside Lao Gao, carefully preparing for the meal.
Lao Gao wants to witness a miracle, so it's better to drink some tea before you can eat a big meal.
The direction of the sergeant's gaze that could have a miracle possible, a group of people sitting around didn't want to make a big meal.
A miracle finally came, a camel was led by a sand cavalryman. The people who had just sat around got up and circled around the camels.
Lao Gao understood that the food of the sand cavalry was actually the large livestock he used, and he didn't see a camel in the team just now, probably at the back of the team. And the carrying carried was more important preparations, otherwise he would have ridden on a camel instead of being carried by four men.
Watching from afar, Lao Gao was expecting them to do it.
Everyone knows that one camel is not enough for everyone, and even if one to one hundred is mixed with water, there is still no guarantee that there will be a piece of meat in each mouthful of soup.
But the people who cook don't want to make delicious broth, if they want to make soup, they should see the cauldron, and now they have no pot and no water, what are they going to prepare.
After a while, everyone began to move, some people made fires, some people set up pots, some people spread out the table, and the utensils that could be found were placed on the table.
Someone came to invite the old man to dinner, and although all the food was not ready, they hoped that the new head of the regiment would wait quietly for the process of making the food. Because in the Sand Cavalry Regiment, it is the highest courtesy to be able to appreciate the whole process of dividing the food for a respectful person or guest.
Lao Gao didn't refuse, since they wanted to let themselves see, it didn't hurt to appreciate it for a while.
thought that the sand cavalry would provide them with a very rich field meal, but in fact, the sand cavalry prepared a luxurious meal without any scientific and technological content for Lao Gao, and only the most traditional food could be eaten.
Slaughtering is a ceremonial performance, sacrificing to the heavens and the earth and then slaughtering, from cutting to bloodletting is quickly completed, and the first bottle of blood is offered to Lao Gao.
