readx;? The climate in the water meadows is not only harsh, but also extremely strange, and sometimes it can even rain only as far as you can see, but it is still sunny not far away. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, as for whether they can find the traces left by the departure direction of the large army, in fact, the three of them have no confidence in their hearts - not to mention that the broken weeds will be flattened by the wind, even if it is a footprint in the soil, it is very likely to be lost by a storm.

Therefore, whether you can find it depends not only on luck, but also on whether the three of them are looking for it carefully.

However, what Zhang Qingshan never expected was that after only looking for more than ten minutes, Zhou Baoyu screamed in surprise.

"Big brother, Lao Zhou, you two come and see, there is a situation here. ”

Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Ping ran to Zhou Baoyu's side, and looked in the direction of Zhou Baoyu's finger, only to see half a straw shoe exposed in a shallow puddle.

"Judging from the tatters of these straw sandals, they should have been thrown away when they couldn't be worn anymore, rather than being left behind by falling into this puddle. ”

Zhang Qingshan agrees with this analysis.

"Everyone has to remember this point, this is the first point, and then we use the method of three points and one line to determine the direction of departure of the main forces. He looked up left and right, and then looked at the North Star, which was still a little misty, thought about it, pointed ahead, and said: "Take this North Star as the front, Baoyu goes straight, I go to the left, Lao Zhou, you go to the right, everyone is twenty or thirty meters apart, so that not only can you make adjustments at any time in the search, but also, even if there is anything, you can also have time to rescue each other...... By the way, let me remind you once again that this is a very dangerous place in the water meadows, so I ask you both to be vigilant at all times, especially to be very careful with your step. Remember: we'd rather not find it for a while, than have any accidents because we're in a hurry. Got it?"

"Yes!"

Immediately, the three men went their separate ways.

"Come and see what I've found!"

Soon, Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Baoyu came to Zhou Ping's side. saw Zhou Ping holding a small cigarette butt.

I took the cigarette butt and looked closely: this section of cigarette butt was left after the tobacco leaf was hand-rolled, and it was less than a centimeter long. I put it in front of my nose and smelled it, and I lost the smell of smoke. Let Zhang Qingshan immediately judge: This cigarette butt definitely had to be thrown away because it was really impossible to smoke anymore. That is, the main forces are likely to go this way.

Zhang Qingshan looked back, determined the place where Zhou Baoyu found the rotten straw shoes just now, and then retracted his gaze to look at the ground. According to the principle of three points and one line, it is deduced that the direction of the main force should be slightly westerly on the North Star.

With these two points in contrast, Zhang Qingshan followed the line and compared: "It's still the previous search formation, let's search this way...... Once again, I remind everyone to be careful, careful, and careful. ”

This time, the search took a little longer than before, a full fifteen minutes passed.

Just as Zhang Qingshan lit another torch that had been prepared a long time ago, preparing for the two of them to come over and gather, and everyone continued to search and move forward, Zhou Baoyu's shout came.

"Big brother, Lao Zhou, come and see, there are traces of a big slip. ”

When he came to Zhou Baoyu, he saw at a glance that there was a large area of wild grass on the edge of the puddle in front of him, and the soil on the edge of the puddle was also smooth, and some shallow footprints could be faintly found. Obviously, this is someone who accidentally slipped under his feet and fell into a puddle, and the comrades behind naturally had to go to the rescue, because of the severe trampling, this large area of aquatic plants could not stand upright in a short time.

Zhang Qingshan looked back and breathed a sigh of relief: according to the principle of three points and one line, although the three points are not straight lines, they are generally a straight line. That is, if you follow this direction, sooner or later you will catch up with the main forces.

After looking up at the North Star again and remembering the general angle of the deviation, the three of them swept away the previous frustration caused by seeing the remains of many comrades, and walked down excitedly overnight.

However, God doesn't help. Just as Zhang Qingshan took the lead in the middle of walking, Zhou Baoyu and Zhou Ping walked about three meters apart for about two hours, and suddenly it started to drizzle.

"Lao Zhang, you can't go, find a place to rest. ”

The long-distance march was a strong point that the Red Army was forced to exercise, and it was only two or three hours before it had to rest, which made Zhang Qingshan feel strange. Turning his head to look at Zhou Ping, seeing that he stopped directly, Zhang Qingshan thought that he had a problem, so he hurriedly walked over and asked with concern: "Old Zhou, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

"I'm fine, I just think it's weird. Based on the experience of the past few days, I think it is better to take a break and avoid the rain when it is going to rain heavily. ”

"Old Zhou, what kind of rain to shelter from?" Zhou Baoyu also followed, and when he saw that Zhou Ping was indeed fine, he was full of bickering thoughts again - anyway, he didn't dare to quarrel with Zhang Qingshan, so he could only quarrel with Zhou Ping to pass the boring time. He smiled: "Are we Red Army soldiers still afraid of this little rain?"

Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, quickly glanced at Zhou Ping, and saw that Zhou Ping frowned, but he didn't fight back, he naturally couldn't let his momentum weaken, and added: "Besides, we are all wearing cloaks and big leather coats, which are the best tools to shelter from the rain, and we can also take the opportunity to use the rain to wash the mud and weeds stuck to the big leather coats, what a good thing." ”

"Baoyu, you can't say that. On weekdays, we are raining elsewhere, but here there are only three of us, and there are few people, so we should first consider our own safety and everyone's safety when doing anything...... If someone catches a cold and fever because they are accidentally caught in the rain, it will be a big problem and a big trouble. So, I'd advise you not to take this risk. Besides, let's go into battle lightly, have plenty of food, and the speed is definitely much faster than the large army, and it is only a matter of time before we catch up with the large army, and there is no need to be desperate to catch up with the large army, and carelessly delay the speed of advance that should be made...... Lao Zhang, what do you say?"

Hearing Zhou Ping say this, Zhang Qingshan also felt that it was such a truth: at this time, it is stable rather than urgent, and there is no need to take risks. Then he turned his head to Zhou Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, let's listen to Lao Zhou." Besides, we don't have many torches with us, so it's better to keep them for emergencies. ”

Zhou Baoyu pursed his lips and rolled his eyes, but did not answer.

Along the way, I hope to find a dry place like a dirt slope and have a good rest. As a result, after walking for more than ten minutes, the torches were almost extinguished, but there was no shadow of the dirt slope, but the drizzle still did not turn into a violent storm, otherwise, the torch would have been extinguished a long time ago, and the three of them had to rest in place.

Helpless, Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to choose a relatively large pile of water and grass to rest.

The drizzle is the most unpleasant, especially to prevent a cold and fever, and you have to take it seriously: Zhang Qingshan stuck the extinguishing torch on the ground to make a stake, and tied the reins of the six horses to the stake, while Zhou Ping took off his big leather coat and grabbed one with Zhou Baoyu, and immediately became a simple tent roof. Then, by putting the cloaks of the two of them to their sides, they became two 'walls'. After Zhang Qingshan joined the midterm, there were three walls...... Although this 'tent' is very small, with only three walls, it is really useful against the drizzle - it is not easy to have such a 'tent' in this vast water and meadow. Thinking about the situation of other Red Army soldiers on the water meadows, some of them didn't even have cloaks, so they could only stand up, and the three of them were very content.

Zhang Qingshan came to the outside of the 'tent' and saw that Zhou Ping was only wearing a military uniform, which was a little thin.

He got into the 'tent', put the cloak behind him, took off his fur coat and handed it to Zhou Ping: "Old Zhou, I see that you are not in good spirits these days, come, put it on, so as not to catch a cold." ”

Zhou Ping was willing, holding a corner of the 'tent' with his right hand, and pushing with his left hand: "What is this, you wear it yourself." ”

"I'm younger than you, just dress for you. ”

"I'm only a few years older than you, and besides, I'm not cold......"

Although it is summer, the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large in this water meadow, and at night, the cold wind is blowing, and it is absolutely late autumn.

Zhou Ping didn't finish speaking, but Zhang Qingshan directly stuffed the big leather coat into his hand: "I order you as the captain of the first team of the Long March: wear it!"

After speaking, he grabbed the corner of the 'tent' from Zhou Ping's right hand, and saw Zhou Ping looking at it in a stunned manner, Zhang Qingshan said with a solemn face: "What are you still doing, put it on." It's an order!"

Yes, although Zhang Qingshan had a solemn face when he spoke before, his tone was also very stern, and he used his identity to suppress Zhou Ping. However, as long as everyone can experience the noble revolutionary friendship between the soldiers of the Red Army, who help each other, encourage each other, and sacrifice everything for their comrades-in-arms.

Seeing that Zhou Ping nodded slightly, and silently put on a big leather coat, Zhang Qingshan smiled and said, "Old Zhou, you go and replace Baoyu and let Baoyu squat in the middle." He's thinner than the two of us, and it's warmer if he squats in the middle. ”

"Okay!" Zhou Pinggang replied, but Zhou Baoyu on the side shouted: "I am also a revolutionary soldier, this little drizzle will be taken care of, so how will I be revolutionary in the future?"

"You little ghost, you don't know what to be ashamed of when you talk big in front of us?" Lao Zhou smiled: "You are the youngest than your age, and you are many years younger." You are also the youngest than the military age. Moreover, you really can't do this body board...... Don't underestimate this drizzle, it is the most likely to make people catch a cold and fever unconsciously. It's better to wait a few years, and your body is strong, and then come back to brag to us!"

"That's you, not me. I've been in good health all the time, and I need someone to take care of it?"

Zhang Qingshan didn't want to argue about this, so he directly interjected: "What kind of rambling is it? Is this still the quality of an excellent Red Army soldier? Execute orders." ”

"Oh~!" Zhou Baoyu didn't dare to refute Zhang Qingshan, and understood that Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Ping were for their own good, and when he saw Zhang Qingshan's face, he had to nod.

Zhou Ping smiled and took the corner of the big leather coat from Zhou Baoyu's hand, and began to laugh with Zhou Baoyu: "Baoyu, you say, when you grow up, what kind of daughter-in-law do you want to marry?"

It was rare that Zhou Baoyu's face turned red, and he didn't refute it at the first time, but he stared at Zhou Ping with wide eyes, and only after two seconds did he shout violently: "The revolution has not succeeded, what ...... should I marry" As he spoke, Zhou Baoyu was furious, jumped up and almost overturned the 'tent', pointed at Zhou Ping's nose and roared: "Old Zhou, what do you mean by this? What kind of daughter-in-law I marry, it's none of your business!"

The two of them argued, Zhang Qingshan listened silently as before, but he was praying in his heart: Don't rain heavily, it's best to end this drizzle immediately.

It's a pity that God only agreed halfway: time passed bit by bit, and the drizzle kept falling, but it didn't mean to turn into a storm at all.

Suddenly......
