Chapter Seventy-Four: Nothing to Do
This officer Xu saw Li Jie's thoughts, and smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me like that, I at least have a few sticks in stock, and occasionally I can have a good time, and no one else has to think about it!" ”
After speaking, he reluctantly put the cigarette with only one-third of the cigarette in his hand into the cigarette case, stuffed it back into his arms, and did not forget to touch it with his hand through his clothes.
Then he smiled and stretched out his hand to Li Jie: "I am the commander of the second battalion, Zhang Zijie!" ”
Li Jie stretched out his hand and shook hands with the second battalion commander. is considered to be acquainted, this battalion commander has the best attitude to deal with Li Jie so far, at least it is normal.
"You don't have to look outside, we eat the same as them, the soldiers have to participate in the battle, and the food is naturally slightly better than the survivors who accompany the team." Zhang Zijie explained with a smile, paused, and continued: "Although the strength is very limited. This is now the temporary headquarters, someone will bring the food in a while, and your share will also be delivered together, so don't worry. He obviously misunderstood Li Jie, thinking that Li Jie looked outside to distribute food because he was hungry.
Li Jie smiled and didn't explain, but he had some expectations in his heart, what do these soldiers eat?
The two chatted casually for a while, this Zhang Zijie Zhang battalion commander was not at all, and talked about the experience along the way, which also made Li Jie's image of this army change slightly, after all, no matter what, they still worked hard to maintain the establishment along the way, although the number of troops was reduced by more than 60%, they still tried to rescue the survivors as much as possible, so as to carry out many unnecessary battles, consume a lot of ammunition, and distribute the collected food to every survivor in the team.
Despite all these problems, they can still be called the defenders of the people!
But now, on the verge of running out of ammunition and food, there are different voices in the ranks, some of whom believe that they should give up helping ordinary survivors and do everything they can to find other allies and get in touch with the country. To put it bluntly, it is to protect yourself! This part is headed by the surviving deputy head Xue.
The other part believes that no matter what, the army must have the appearance of an army and must protect the people! Even if the sky falls, you can't give up on ordinary people! Otherwise, I'm sorry for this military uniform on my body! This part is dominated by the head of the regiment, Zhou Zhengyang!
With the gradual scarcity of supplies, the dispute between the two voices gradually became apparent. As a result, the attitudes towards survivors on both sides began to diverge!
But after all, Zhou Zhengyang is the head of the regiment, unless he is forcibly relieved of his command, he can only be subject to his orders!
Others, despite their dissatisfaction, can only obey!
After the two chatted for a while, eight soldiers carried pots and pots to the bottom of the small building, moved a table, and began to arrange it neatly.
Seeing this, Zhang Zijie immediately said to Li Jie: "Okay, let's prepare to eat, take the lunch box and go downstairs to eat." With that, he went back to his room and went to his own utensils.
Seeing this, Li Jie hurriedly went back to the room, called Li Jianguo and others, and the whole family each took a bowl and went downstairs to cook.
When they arrived downstairs, these officers obviously had no intention of lining up for food, and basically lined up in a simple line according to the first come, first served, one by one to receive food.
Soon it will be the turn of the Li Jie family.
At first glance, the stainless steel vat, which was yellow and mushy with some lumps, looked like potatoes or something, and the yellow-green leaves could be seen sporadically, which should be cabbage.
The cook glanced curiously at Li Jie's family, who were not wearing military uniforms, but didn't say anything, still beat a spoonful of paste, and then where was the other cook, no one from the big basin sent a child's fist-sized steamed bun.
When the officers received the food, they squatted on the side of the road and ate it, and some of them chose to take it back to the dormitory to eat.
Li Jie looked at the paste in the bowl, he didn't know what it was made of, it exuded a strange smell, it smelled of oil, and there was some smell of green onions, it was not very difficult to accept.
The family returned to the second floor, and as soon as they closed the door, Zeng Pei lowered his head and took a sip, his little face wrinkled suddenly, his facial features were distorted and he couldn't look at it, and his face was full of disgust: "This, what is this!" It's so unpleasant! ”
When Li Jie heard this, he tasted it curiously, a taste of scallion oil, bland and tasteless, and the rustling feeling in his mouth was not as terrifying as Zeng Pei said, but it was definitely not delicious.
Quickly took a bite of the steamed bun, the steamed bun was obviously a little sour, and swallowed it hard, which obviously didn't put alkaline noodles!
The whole family tasted it, and Li Jianguo also grinned and said, "This thing should be compressed biscuits and boiled with water to make a mushy, emergency food." ”
The family frowned and ate the most undelicious meal since the end of the world. After the meal, just as Li Jie's family was thinking about the next move, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, Deputy Head Xue was standing outside the door with a smile. Li Jie was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be him.
When Deputy Head Xue saw Li Jie open the door, he immediately snorted: "Oh, Comrade Li Jie, I just suddenly remembered that I need your help for some things!" ”
There is a way to be courteous, and people must ask for something! There is an old saying: Nothing to offer affection is either a traitor or a thief. Li Jie combined with the words of the previous second battalion commander Zhang Zijie, and immediately realized that it must be no good for the goods in front of him to come to him! I can't tell what is bad in my stomach!
Thinking of this, his tone unconsciously brought three points of vigilance, and said cautiously: "Commander Xue is polite, you are the children of the soldiers who protect the family and defend the country, you can't handle it, what can you do to find me?"
I didn't even ask about things, and pushed it out!
Deputy Head Xue's smile twitched suddenly, and he froze suddenly, he really didn't expect that this little survivor would dare to talk to him like this? Which of the other survivors wasn't careful lest the army abandon them? But why is the person named Li Jie in front of him so fearless?
But as soon as he thought of his intention, he immediately found what he thought was a reasonable explanation, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious at the moment.
"Hey~ where is it! No matter how good our soldiers are, they can't do without the support of the broad masses of the people! The situation between the military and the people is not just talking! As he spoke, he looked into Li Jie's eyes and continued to say what he meant: "On the way here, we rescued a survivor with a fever, and it was also according to his guidance that we learned that there was a deep well in this school that had been abandoned for many years!" And according to him, you and your family have collected all the food in the village! ”
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, and looked at Li Jie's ever-changing face with a light smile, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
When Li Jie heard this, he immediately realized that this survivor with a fever was either Zhang Jun or Huang Wei! If it's Huang Wei, it's better to say, if it's Zhang Jun...... Thinking about the kind of eyes he looked at himself, Li Jie's heart suddenly sudden, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.
