Chapter 224: Careless
readx;?ā Baoyu, do you think my injury is healed?"
Zhou Baoyu himself is very clever, and he is grateful to Zhang Qingshan, he is not so much a signal soldier in the assault company as Zhang Qingshan's guard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info For more than a year, the cooperation between the two is quite tacit, many times, Zhang Qingshan doesn't need to say it at all, often just a look, a word, Zhou Baoyu can accurately understand the true meaning. Just like now, Zhang Qingshan gently softened the scarred wound on his wound to stop the itching, and casually asked a question that was equivalent to small talk. Zhou Baoyu replied without thinking about it: "It should be about the same." Why don't you take it for you and test it?"
Zhang Qingshan smiled: Sure enough, it is still the clever and tacit understanding with himself Zhou Baoyu, with his own words, he knows what he wants to do.
As soon as I walked on the ground, not to mention, the injury was indeed much better, although I couldn't push my legs too hard and couldn't run, but I didn't rely on crutches and others to help me, and I walked casually, there was still no problem.
Just when Zhang Qingshan was walking around, happy that his injuries were recovering day by day, he saw Sun Zhiping and Zhou Ping coming together.
"Lao Zhang, your body is really good, such a serious injury can heal so quickly, it's really speechless. ā
Of course, Zhang Qingshan knew that this was Zhou Ping patting himself on the back: although it was to cut off a little flesh, after all, it didn't hurt his muscles and bones, it had been almost ten days, and it was not too unusual to be able to walk a little, even if Zhang Qingshan's body was really good. But he was still very happy in his heart, especially when he felt that in such an environment, it was a great joy to be able to do without crutches, and he had a great confidence in the victory of walking out of the grass: if we can't beat it, we can still run away, what's the matter with crutches?
The face is given by others, but it is lost by oneself.
"Heh, don't be sarcastic...... Something?"
"Some of the weeds and wild flowers on the camouflage suits made by some comrades have withered, and the comrades have just collected a lot of them, but some people are still not familiar with the details of making camouflage suits, and I would like you to teach them again. ā
Zhang Qingshan nodded and glanced at Zhou Baoyu beside him with a smile.
Not to mention that Zhou Baoyu is clever, no, Zhang Qingshan just glanced at him, and he knew what it meant.
"Captain Sun, I'm also very good at making camouflage suits, do you think I can go and have a look?" After speaking, he also added: "If I can't do it well, I will invite my eldest brother to go again, and I won't delay." ā
"That's great. ā
The two laughed and left, leaving only Zhou Ping and Zhang Qingshan, so that Zhang Qingshan immediately understood: Sun Zhiping's coming over was just a companion, and it was Zhou Ping who really had something to do.
"Lao Zhou, everyone is their own comrades, if you have something, just say it, and be polite to me. ā
"It's not like I'm afraid you're busy. Zhou Ping replied casually with a smile and took out a pack of cigarettes. After both of them smoked, Zhou Ping whispered: "Lao Zhang, I remember you said that if everyone's food is averaged and less than twenty-five catties, it must be strictly controlled." When I was making breakfast just now, I quietly checked it and estimated that now, the amount of food each person carries is almost the same amount. Look, are we starting to control everyone's rations for the next meal?"
In the current environment without supplies, there is still such a long way to go, and food is naturally the most important, more important than weapons and ammunition, and it cannot be overstated. These days, everyone has eaten a few dry meals without any wild vegetables, and everyone has been nourished with full spirit, and there is still a long way to go, but we can't let everyone eat up the food now.
"Have you discussed it with Lao Sun?"
"Well, after discussing it, he agreed, but he said that you are the captain, and it is up to you to decide this matter in the end. No, I'll take him to discuss with you. ā
Zhang Qingshan thought about it, sighed, and said, "It's time to control the rations...... By the way, in addition to barley flour, how much fried rice and canned food are there?"
The soldiers in the first team of the Long March were all southerners, accustomed to rice, and somewhat unaccustomed to eating barley.
"The comrades' ideological consciousness is very high, and they know that although fried rice is better than barley, they all want to leave the good things at the end, and basically they have not touched it. But the cans, originally you brought eight, and in that little valley you found fifteen from the enemy, a total of twenty-three, and now there are seventeen left, in addition to the ones consumed along the way. ā
"En!" Zhang Qingshan was very satisfied with this result, nodded, and said, "In this way, let the comrades collect wild vegetables along the way from now on...... From the next meal, control everyone's rations, but don't put a lot of wild vegetables at first, and get used to it slowly......"
"But in this case, the consumption is also very large, and I think that it is simply the same as before, most of the wild vegetables and a small amount of barley. ā
"Lao Zhou, don't just stare at your mess, you have to look at the current environment. Zhang Qingshan smiled at Zhou Ping: "I estimate that on the next road, I am afraid that there will be a lot of horse bandits, and everyone must be prepared for long-distance transfer anytime and anywhere, which requires a lot of physical strength, if you can't keep up with the food, there will be big problems, so I suggest taking your time and reducing the proportion of wild vegetables and barley little by little." ā
Zhou Ping frowned slightly and nodded.
"Also, now there are Lao Tian and the soldier whose left arm was wounded to the bone by a bullet in the team, you can add some food to them at each meal......" He groaned a little and said, "Give them half a can of food for each meal, which can be regarded as supplementing their nutrition." ā
"Lao Zhang, your body is not very good, I think so, one canned food for each meal, and the three of you will supplement nutrition together. ā
"I'll forget it, I can go, and I don't need to supplement nutrition......," he said, and he walked out directly: "That's it, I'll go and see how the comrades are doing." ā
Zhou Ping knew that Zhang Qingshan was in such a hurry to leave because he didn't want to be specialized, let alone have a debate on this topic. Looking at Zhang Qingshan's back, he nodded slightly, and admired Zhang Qingshan's ideological consciousness as a cadre a little in his heart, but he only admired it a little, because this kind of ideological consciousness is very common.
With the experience of compiling camouflage clothes last time, this time, everyone was much faster, and in just about an hour, everyone gathered again and set off.
In everyone's opinion, they have already thrown off the enemy cavalry battalion they encountered earlier, so even if they know that they are now marching on the territory of many horse bandits, their mentality has relaxed a lot - everyone is a soldier, and the main opponent can only be the army, and everyone looks down on them a little bit in their hearts for horse bandits. Therefore, everyone still attached Lao Tian's stretcher to the horses and dragged it.
Along the way, a deep scratch was naturally left on the ground.
And Zhang Qingshan, they have never dealt with horse bandits, and they don't understand that such obvious scratches fall in the eyes of horse bandits, which not only means that their whereabouts are exposed, but also expresses that they are pulling good things: horse bandits don't think that they are pulling the wounded, they just think that if it is not weapons and ammunition, it must be food. Of course, in the eyes of the horse bandits, they didn't even say hello, they blatantly pulled good things under their noses, which was too faceless, and they deserved to be robbed, who let Zhang Qingshan "don't understand the rules".
So, the horse bandits targeted Zhang Qingshan and them, and chased them all the way down the scratches. In this way, it is impossible for both sides to think of conflict. Fortunately, this area belongs to the territory of a group of 50 or 60 horse bandits, and other horse bandits do not dare to cross the border -- the territory is so large, and this place is in a remote area, and the horse bandits usually have nothing else to rob except for the cattle and sheep of the herdsmen who graze here with guns, and occasionally rob the smugglers who make a detour from this place, so the gang of 50 or 60 horse bandits can already be regarded as a great force within a radius of several hundred miles, and no matter how much they have, they will not be able to support themselves.
Zhang Qingshan and the others had neither a map nor a guide, and they had focused on the front along the way, and they didn't even notice that they had been targeted by the local horse bandits, let alone that the quietly approaching horse bandits had already chosen the location for the robbery.
Along the way, not to mention encountering the enemy, even not a single figure was seen, and they came to a river with great peace and smoothness -- they thought it was all their luck, but they didn't know that this "luck" was the result of the horse bandits behind their butts protecting them all the way -- how could the "fat sheep" in the eyes of this horse bandit allow other horse bandits to get a piece of the pie.
At dusk, the Long March team came to a river.
The bandits called this river the Gravel River, which has the characteristics of a small river in the plains: the river is wide, the banks are narrow, and the river water is shallow. The river is about ten meters wide, the width of the bank is about two meters, and the deepest part of the river is no longer than the calf.
After walking for so many days, the first time they encountered the river, everyone was very happy, and rushed to the river to wash their faces, and soon, some comrades were not satisfied with washing their faces, and began to water each other, gradually, some comrades were too excited, and did not think much about it, while stripping their pants and calling friends to go down to the river to bathe.
Fortunately, Zhang Qingshan is experienced, and he was standing in the river with his trouser legs rolled up and washing his face with a washcloth, and when he saw everyone's actions, he was startled and quickly stopped everyone's reckless behavior.
"What are you doing with all your clothes off?"
"Captain, we want to take a shower. ā
"No, you must not take a shower here. ā
As soon as they heard this, the comrades stopped doing it and shouted one after another.
"Why? Isn't it just a shower!"
"yes, you are not even allowed to take a bath, this is too much, right?"
From these words, you can hear how dissatisfied everyone is, but because of military discipline, they dare not openly resist. So much so that even Sun Zhiping came over and whispered: "Lao Zhang, comrades haven't taken a bath for more than ten days, and their bodies are stinky. I finally came across the river today, so you can let everyone wash up. ā
In the face of Sun Zhiping's euphemistic protests and requests, Zhang Qingshan didn't think about it, and shook his head directly......
