Chapter 277: A Cure for Fatigue

readx;?“ Then you can go with us, and on the way I can tell you in detail about our policies and revolutionary aims......"

As soon as these words came out, the three adults were silent for a while, and their faces were solemn. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhou Baoyu also keenly felt the change in the atmosphere, but thinking about the terrifying swamp, he could only ask Zhang Qingshan: "Big brother, am I right?"

Zhang Qingshan glared at Zhou Baoyu, Zhou Baoyu was stunned, he didn't understand what this glance meant, but he clearly felt the dissatisfaction expressed in his eyes, and he didn't dare to argue, but he was not convinced, so he could only pout his lips aggrievedly and lower his head.

From a normal point of view, Zhou Baoyu is right, but the question is, is it a normal time?

Tashi was Lobsang Daddy's personal bodyguard, and his loyalty went without saying: he was sent to guide them alone, not only because of his experience and ability, but also because of his trust - Tashi was not the only one in the Lobsang tribe who had gone deep into the water meadows. Judging from Tashi's dress and conversation, his status in the Lausanne tribe is not bad, his life is not bad, and he is calm, how can he leave desperately with a little touch or a little persuasion.

To put it bluntly, at this time, Tashi is alone, and the other three are all Red Army, and at this time persuading Tashi to become a Red Army is not suspected of digging into the corners of the wall? For a man who is upright and loyal to Lausanne, this kind of behavior means humiliation.

What's more, even if Tashi were to join the Red Army now, what would happen to Xiang Fu, who stayed in the Lausanne tribe? How would he stay in the Lausanne tribe in the future? In a way, he could be a hostage. Moreover, Tashi is also a family man, does his family still want to live when he leaves?

Therefore, many times, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel, and a man like Tashi, as long as he does not touch his bottom line, he will often obey the reality. At this point, from the fact that he didn't dare or didn't want to talk to Zhang Qingshan and the three of them at the beginning, and then there were only four people left, he could take the initiative to open his mouth, but it could be seen that he had his own ideas, but they were very realistic.

"Tashi, I'm sorry, children don't have a door to speak, don't forget to go to your heart. ”

Tashi is also a person with a lot of experience, so he naturally went to the Tao.

"It's fine. As soon as he heard that Zhang Qingshan took the initiative to apologize for Zhou Baoyu, he immediately smiled and said that he didn't mind. But the next step was to smile at Zhou Baoyu: "Little guy, let me tell you, I am a man with a wife and children!"

There is no need to beat a heavy hammer to sound the drum! From his euphemistic reminder, we can judge that he obeys reality -- he will never do anything that he thinks is unrealistic for the sake of ideals. In other words, his belief, his bottom line is his family, and it is impossible for you to let him leave the family behind and pursue his ideals by himself.

Immediately, everyone continued on the road.

Although Tashi still pointed out from time to time, he also pointed out that he should collect as much firewood as possible along the way, such as dried cow dung and dry branches...... Although Zhang Qingshan wanted to try his best to make up for the damage caused by Zhou Baoyu's previous words, and took the initiative to talk to Tashi enthusiastically, Tashi also replied seemingly affectionately. It's just that, because of Zhou Baoyu's words, although the two sides maintained smiles on the surface of the next journey, in fact, everyone's hearts were more or less pimples - some words, some things, even if both sides knew it, they could only do it but not say it, once they said it, it was equivalent to a showdown. It's like Zhou Baoyu's sentence, a word is broken, although it is rounded back later, but if it is broken, it is broken, and it is difficult to restore the previous atmosphere.

I don't know how many miles I walked, anyway, I just followed Tashi until the sky was bright, Tashi took the three of them to a small mound of thousands of square meters: "Three, after walking all night, I believe that even if someone wants to chase them, they will not go deep here." It's rare to find such a large dry place, so let's just rest here for a while and wait until it's dark, shall we?"

He is both a guide and a teacher, and for the three students, in this place that is calm on the surface, but in fact it is full of dangers, he is naturally the leader.

After untying the ropes on their bodies, Zhou Ping collected the ropes and circled them; Zhou Baoyu consciously gathered the horses together, but let them graze around - anyway, in such a big place, he was not afraid of the horses running away; Zhang Qingshan took the cauldron and four small silver bowls and grain from the horse's back, and prepared to make breakfast...... The three of them were very simple, and it was done quickly, and when Tashi looked around, he came to the highest place, drew his knife and began to dig a hole, and they all walked over curiously.

"Uncle Tashi, what are you doing?" Zhou Baoyu was clever, although he only felt as if he had said the wrong thing at the time, he didn't expect such serious consequences, so he was eager to make up for it. So, in order to apologize to Tashi, he called Tashi his uncle very familiarly. Seeing Tashi kneeling on the ground, he kept digging a straight hole the size of a sea bowl with a machete about a meter below the highest part of the slope, so he quickly asked.

"I'm digging holes for cooking on a fire. ”

"Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to dig a little pit up there to make a fire?"

"This hole is not only used for cooking, but also for cooking. Speaking of this, Tashi thought of something, turned back to Zhou Baoyu and smiled: "It's just right, you will walk on the water grass in the future, it is best to do the same, it will be of great help to the body......

"How does it help?"

Perhaps thinking that Zhou Baoyu was clever, or that Zhou Baoyu had a broken mouth, Tashi straightened up, handed the machete in his hand to Zhou Baoyu, and said with a smile: "Come on, little guy, you come and dig a hole two feet deep for me, and I will tell you the benefits of doing so." ”

Zhou Baoyu felt curious, and besides, it didn't take much strength, so he took the machete and began to dig hard.

"Little one, don't worry, if the digging collapses, you have to dig again. As he spoke, Tashi sat down on the ground, took the cigarette handed over by Zhang Qingshan, lit it, took a deep breath, and saw Zhou Ping's Zhang Qingshan just sitting and looking over, obviously wanting to know the reason, but restrained. Tashi glanced at the straw sandals worn by the three of them and said with a smile: "You still have experience, in the water and meadows, wearing cowhide shoes or anything is not as practical as the straw sandals you make yourself." ”

"Walking into the water meadow, even if you don't touch the swamp, you will inevitably step into waist-high puddles, at this time, the cowhide shoes are filled with water, and they are heavy and wet to wear, and it is not as comfortable as barefoot. However, the water meadow is full of water, and it is very wet, and the feet cannot be soaked in the water all the time, in that case, the feet will be finished sooner or later, and it will not even take long for them to become bloated and rotten, and it will be difficult to get out of the water meadow. So, after a few rounds of groping, I came up with a solution: choose a dry place to dig a hole, then connect up and down, and after the fire is cooked, put a layer in the middle, put some hay and a layer of light soil on top, and then put your feet in it, and put it on the cowhide, so that everyone can be comfortable for at least a few hours, and you can also flush the poisonous gas in your feet......"

Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Ping glanced at each other and gave Tashi a thumbs up: This is the value of experience. If he didn't say it, Zhang Qingshan and the three of them would probably not have thought of such a good attention in a short period of time. Of course, Zhang Qingshan and the others would never know that after the part of the Central Red Army set off from here, Tashi also taught them this very practical and widely practical local method, which was unanimously recognized and praised by everyone. And this is one of the fruits of the national policy -- if you don't treat the people sincerely, how can the people treat you sincerely? If he doesn't take the initiative to say it, even if you force him to lead the way with a gun, he will not be able to tell you this, and maybe he will lead you down the wrong path.

Because it was the first time to try this, Zhang Qingshan and the three of them were very interested.

After Zhou Baoyu dug the hole, under Tashi's guidance and demonstration, he dug a one-and-a-half-foot pit directly down from the top to communicate with the hole.

Lausanne prepared enough for the three of them, and even filled them with six cowhide pouches for wine. Of course, this thing is extremely valuable now, and the three of them take the initiative not to drink it as wine, but to prepare it for emergency use such as disinfection.

Compared with what they ate, the three of them wanted to experience the warmth of the feet in the dirt pit. Tashi first measured the length of everyone's calves with his hands, then compared the depth of the pit to make sure that the depth of everyone's feet was suitable, and then built a scaffold layer in the pit with dead branches, then spread grass, and finally spread a thin layer of fine soil.

He first took off his shoes, and when he put his feet down, he also specially reminded the three of them, "Don't step down too hard, just put it on it easily." ”

The three of them hurried to follow suit.

When I put all eight feet into the small pit, I immediately felt a slight heat in the heart of my feet, and slowly rushed towards my head, and the feeling was very warm. Immediately, the top was covered with a cowhide blanket, and suddenly, a wave of warmth rushed to the top of the head, making people warm. Lying backwards again, letting go of the tension of the whole body, the whole person relaxed, feeling as if the whole body was wrapped in a warm breath, the fatigue and the cold on the feet along the way, washed by this warmth, there was an indescribable comfort...... And the fire below, because dry cow dung accounts for the majority, plus ventilation will not be extinguished due to lack of oxygen, so it can burn for a long time, and naturally it can ensure that this heat will continue until it is extinguished.

Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Ping were very satisfied with this feeling and this method, and even Zhou Baoyu muttered a little regret that the soles of his feet did not step on the hot soil while saying that they were comfortable, but it made the other three laugh.

The previous feeling of fatigue was dissipated by this heat, but because of the biological clock and the deliberate relaxation, Zhou Baoyu fell asleep first, and the other three stopped talking, and soon, the four of them fell asleep comfortably.

It was the first time for Zhang Qingshan and the others to enjoy this, and they had no concept of time, but Tashi had been sleeping very lightly, because he knew that once the fire below was extinguished, if they still put their feet on the dirt, it would be counterproductive - rheumatism!
