500 War Years 3
"Okay, we're out there, we can celebrate today." Chen Bin proposed.
Lao Zhang and Lao Hei also nodded in agreement, and the two glanced at each other, ready to divide labor and cooperate, one to collect firewood and the other to dig wild vegetables. Lin Xiaoxiao and Chen Bin also had to look for food, they didn't have much food in their hands, and there were not enough wild vegetables to eat, but unfortunately there were not many opportunities to find other food.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to take out a lot of food in the space and didn't dare to take it out to eat, so she could only work hard with Chen Bin to find food. She wanted to cry every time she cooked wild vegetables and looked at the soup without a trace of oil, but she didn't dare to take it out and eat it when there was a lot of oil in the space.
The grassland is mostly wild vegetables, and it has not rained in recent days, and he can't find mushrooms, and Chen Bin doesn't know what food he can find. Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to say that he would take some food out of the space, but Chen Bin disagreed, saying that it was too risky.
She thinks Lao Zhang and Lao Hei are good now, but who dares to guarantee that they will not change in the future. Lin Xiaoxiao was persuaded by Chen Bin, and she didn't dare to act willfully, so she could only follow Chen Bin to find food together.
There wasn't much barley noodles left in their backpacks, and there wasn't enough for four adults to eat when they were all cooked, and they had to find other food to eat.
Chen Bin plans to go to the creek to catch fish, and the meat they eat the most recently is fish, even if there is no oil, everyone still eats happily.
Chen Bin caught more than a dozen small miscellaneous fish, Lin Xiaoxiao saw that it was not enough and caught a fish weighing about a pound from the space, and this time Chen Bin did not stop it again. They can catch small trash fish, so it's not so strange that they are lucky enough to catch a big fish.
If it weren't for Lin Xiaoxiao supplementing food like this from time to time, their food would have been eaten long ago, and every time she cooked barley noodles, Lin Xiaoxiao would add a handful of flour to it. It also tastes a little thicker this way. Lin Xiaoxiao and Chen Bin can both supplement food privately, so they will try to persuade Lao Zhang and Lao Hei to eat first when they eat.
Lao Zhang and Lao Hei were polite at first, but later saw that they were sincerely persuading, thinking that they were taking care of the sick number, so they no longer pushed back, if their health was not good, it would be troublesome to drag their feet on the road.
Chen Bin and Lin Xiaoxiao will only agree on a resting place after handling the fish by the stream, and the other two have not yet returned. Lin Xiaoxiao was about to cook first, and she asked Chen Bin to find someone.
Lin Xiaoxiao found a handful of withered grass nearby, burned the fire first, and when the water in the pot boiled, they should also come back.
Chen Bin and Lao Zhang came back together, each holding a pile of hay in their hands.
"I'll light the fire." Chen Bin took the initiative to help. Lao Zhang didn't rob him of this job, they knew the tacit understanding between the two after they got acquainted, and he came to burn the fire, the fire was either big or small, and it always couldn't satisfy Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao threw the barley noodles into the pot, and threw the wild vegetables into it before coming out of the pot. The fish they caught can only be grilled and eaten, and it is not delicious to boil it into the soup without oil, so it is better to roast it fragrantly.
Lao Hei waited until the rice was almost cooked before he came back with a bag of wild vegetables, which could be stored if he couldn't finish it, which was why he was reluctant to come back early.
"Lao Hei, you sit down and rest, don't be busy." Chen Bin beckoned Lao Hei to rest. Lao Hei is a person who can't stop, the kind of person who has to do work when he sees it, and can find work for himself if he doesn't have a job.
"Lao Hei, listen to Xiao Chen's persuasion, let's talk." Chen Bin has become Xiao Zhang here in Lao Zhang, but he is indeed the eldest of the four.
Lao Hei heard Lao Zhang shouting, and knew that he had something serious to do, so he called him to sit down and chat. He sat across from Chen Bin and wanted to hear what important things they had to say.
After they met, they only exchanged names and numbers, and many other specific things didn't have time to say. The two of them used to say that they had energy for physical reasons, but then their health was getting better day by day, and they were anxious about survival, and they were worried about food every day, so they forgot about it.
Before they caught up with the big army or walked out of the grass safely, their identities didn't matter, and they didn't need to know each other.
Now it's different when they come out, the four of them can be regarded as friends in life and death, they are all lifelong friends, and they can't even ask questions about other situations except for one name.
"Lao Hei, the two of us are lucky to meet Xiao Chen, and we are about to go out, and we should also discuss how to go in the future." Lao Zhang paid careful attention to Chen Bin's expression.
The old black man is honest, but he is definitely not stupid, after understanding what Lao Zhang meant, he nodded and told some of his own situation, and then took the initiative to stand up and express his willingness to follow Chen Bin and his wife.
"It's okay to follow us, but you have to let us arrange, can you?" It's not that Chen Bin doesn't believe them, but he has long seen that these two people must have been leading cadres before, and if they want them to listen to him, they must establish authority in advance.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he didn't want outsiders to follow, but he couldn't say no, these were all his comrades. He and Lin Xiaoxiao acted more freely together, but if sacrificing a little freedom could help their comrades-in-arms, the two of them were still very willing.
They didn't dare to take out the food in the space along the way, but Lin Xiaoxiao sowed a lot of seeds along the way. These seeds are all vegetable and grain seeds, and they just think that if there are many more in the future, maybe they can save people's lives.
Lin Xiaoxiao also put a lot of fish fry in various water sources, also thinking that there are more fish in the water, and the comrades in the back can add a bite to eat if they catch it.
"I'm fine, what about you?" The old black gang helped Chen Bin squeeze Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang smiled disdainfully: "Hehe, Lao Zhang, what do you mean by this, I can't do it if you can?" You're looking down on people. ”
"Lao Zhang, I don't look down on you, it's that you are different from me, tell me what your identity was before." Lao Hei also saw Lao Zhang's identity early, he was the oldest of them, and most of them had the highest positions.
"What identity, I don't have any identity, I'm a sick person who has fallen behind now, and then I was saved by Xiao Chen." Although Lao Zhang didn't say anything big, he supported Chen Bin's decision in action.
"Lao Zhang, if you don't say it, don't say it, one day we will know your identity." Lao Hei did not force Lao Zhang to talk about his affairs, but took the initiative to explain his affairs.
"Lao Hei, I can't see it, you're still a young master soldier." Lao Zhang stared at Lao Hei's handsome face strangely, his surname was Hei, but his face was not only not black, but also very white.
"Lao Zhang, I'm not a young master soldier, do you want to compare with me." Old Black doesn't like to hear such words.
Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "Okay, it's not comparable, I said the wrong thing!" I'm sorry! "Lao Zhang is also a man who can stretch and bend, he bows his head and admits his mistakes, and Lao Hei is not good to deal with him carefully.
