Just like now!
No matter what the Central Red Army gave them experience and various reminders, no matter what the squad leaders and platoon commanders said at the beginning, it is not as good as the experience after walking into the water meadow with a nervous heart now. In particular, although the three of them came here, they were busy with other things, and they didn't want to see the water meadows up close in advance, and at this time, they went into battle temporarily, and it was strange that they didn't play the drums in their hearts—from this point of view, all three of them made a big mistake.
I really want to thank Lobsang for his good intentions, not only prepared enough food, medicine and other daily utensils for the three of them, but also sent Tashi, a veteran who is relatively familiar with water and meadows, to lead the way.
Because from the experience given by the Central Red Army, when Zhang Qingshan faced the water meadow, he instinctively attached great importance to it.
Weapons are not used in water meadows, and heavy weapons such as light machine guns are extremely difficult to carry - people can go out of water meadows, and it is even more inconvenient to carry these weapons. Therefore, when they were separated from Lausanne, they handed over the light machine guns to Xiang Fuli, and handed over the rifles to Lausanne, and the three of them each carried a box gun, a few magazines, and three grenades per person.
Because it was night, the only place that could be clearly reflected was water, and the dark and high place was grass that could be walked. And the first time he stepped down, he felt that the aquatic plants on his feet sank slightly, and there were a few bubbling "grunts" around him, and even the puddles at his feet rippled on the water surface, shaking the moon and moonlight refracted in the sky.
It made him feel a little worried in his heart, but before he could remind Zhou Baoyu behind him, he heard Zhou Baoyu cry out in fear: "Big brother, there won't be no soil under this aquatic grass, it's all grown on the water, ......right?" If I step on it, will I just sink into it?"
"Where did you get so much nonsense? What does it matter if you shake it, it's okay for them to step on it for more than a hundred pounds, but it's okay to get to your small body?" Zhou Ping was very worried about the water meadow, plus he had just separated, and he hurriedly went into battle, and his mood was a little bad, and his speech was not as gentle as usual: "If you are afraid, you can go back to accompany the welfare now." ”
"I ...... I didn't mean that, I'm just a little worried!"
Zhang Qingshan knew: Although Zhou Baoyu was clever, he was still young after all, and it was normal for him to be afraid when he suddenly faced the terrifying water and grassland that was said to be a little scary on weekdays - not to mention Zhou Baoyu, it was Zhang Qingshan himself, who was a little scared at this time, but he was embarrassed to say it directly. At this time, Zhou Baoyu should be given encouragement, which is the right attitude.
In order not to let Zhou Ping hit Zhou Baoyu's positive attitude, he quickly interjected: "Baoyu, although this water meadow is the first time I have walked, but, judging from the information sent down before, the water meadow is basically like this." However, you can rest assured that although there are few dry places in the aquatic grass, the aquatic grass does not grow directly on the water, and there is still mud underneath, but it is only slightly loose, so it will be slightly concave when you step on it, and there will often be blisters around it, but this is normal. If you are bolder, don't think about it and you'll be fine. Besides, we are Red Army soldiers, and we are not even afraid of death for the victory of the revolution, so are we still afraid of this shaking?"
"Big brother, I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to ......die in a nest," muttered to this, Zhou Baoyu paused deliberately, not daring to stretch his feet, but he didn't want Zhou Ping behind him to look down on himself, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Big brother, I heard them say that this water meadow is full of swamps, and once you fall into it, you can't get out, and it will be swallowed up little by little." I...... I was scared at the thought of this. Big brother, if I fall in, you'll have to pull me out!"
"Don't worry, I'll pull you out...... Come here, I'll stand here and watch you. ”
Zhou Baoyu looked at Zhang Qingshan, who stood still, and turned to look at him, gritted his teeth, and stepped on the aquatic grass in front of him.
"Ah~!" The same result as Zhang Qingshan, it's just that because the aquatic plants sink down slightly, Zhou Baoyu's body shook a little, but under the preconceived concept, he was so frightened that he screamed, if it weren't for the good balance of his body, it was estimated that he would sit on the water with his ass.
"Didn't you stand still? What are you screaming?"
Hearing Zhou Ping's loud reprimand, Zhou Baoyu quickly stood firm, and when he saw it, it was indeed so. He tried to step on it hard again, but saw that the aquatic grass was still only sinking slightly, and there was nothing else wrong, which made him feel very relieved. Then he walked down again, and after a few steps, his boyish nature was up, and he actually stepped on it left and right, and shouted happily in his mouth: "This water meadow is so fun, big brother, Lao Zhou, you see me stepping on this, it's like stepping on cotton, it's very interesting......"
It's your curiosity about new things, and when you really understand the horrors of it, I hope you can still have that mindset.
Zhang Qingshan shook his head helplessly, and looked at Zhou Ping with a wry smile, but saw Zhou Ping frowning and glancing at Zhou Baoyu from time to time, Zhang Qingshan knew that when he walked to his side, he would definitely complain about Zhou Baoyu's ignorant caressing behavior. But Zhang Qingshan thinks it's nothing: there are so many hardships and sorrows on the Long March, even teenagers like Zhou Baoyu have lost their laughter and laughter, but they have never taught a word of bitterness or shouted tiredness. Now, it's rare for him to be so happy to play, so let's make him happy for a while. As for the terrible situation in the water meadow, I don't think about it for the time being, let alone discourage his enthusiasm and happiness. To put it bluntly, when he sees it and experiences it, he will naturally understand.
Therefore, when Zhou Ping came to his side and was about to open his mouth, Zhang Qingshan directly shook his head and whispered: "He is still a child, he has suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sins along the way, and he is rarely happy, so let him be more happy." ”
Zhou Ping glanced at Zhang Qingshan, glanced at Zhou Baoyu again, frowned, sighed slightly, nodded, and did not speak.
The two of them agreed, but the other quit.
On the other hand, the more you know, the more you fear it.
Although Tashi had entered the water meadow before, he had only really gone deep into the water meadow once, but the tragic experience left for him that time made him full of awe in his heart. He didn't like to talk in the first place, and he didn't say a word after entering the water meadow, because he didn't have time or mood to speak, and all his attention was focused on his feet and his observation of the surrounding situation—even if he didn't think about the lives of the three people behind him, he didn't think about his own lives, didn't he?
Although he had only entered the water meadow less than twenty meters, his eyes were already solemn.
When he heard the people behind him talking, he didn't take it seriously, but when he heard and saw Zhou Baoyu so ignorant of the frolic, he actually jumped around without knowing the depths, which seemed to him to be like dancing on the tip of the sickle of death, and he might fall directly into the swamp with the next kick.
Frightened, he hurriedly shouted "Don't jump, come back quickly" and rushed over.
Because he hadn't said a word at all before, even when Lausanne introduced this person, he only saluted and did not speak, so that the three of them thought that this person could not understand Chinese, and they were really shocked to hear him shout in fluent Chinese. Zhou Baoyu also looked at him in amazement, but forgot to continue playing for a while.
Under Zhou Baoyu's surprised gaze, he rushed to Zhou Baoyu's side, looking at Zhou Baoyu with a blue face, probably because he had long been accustomed to obeying the level of his identity, although he was extremely angry in his heart, but after glaring at Zhou Baoyu viciously for a while, he still endured his anger and said concisely and firmly: "Little adult, please remember that this is a water meadow, a place where the devil touches, please cherish your own life." ”
After speaking, he grabbed Zhou Baoyu's right hand and walked back.
When he came to Zhang Qingshan and the others, although his face was angry, he was no longer as iron-blue as before, but said in a solemn voice: "Two adults, ...... here"
"Stop, stop!" Although Zhang Qingshan knew that it must be because of Zhou Baoyu's doing, and it was absolutely wrong, that made Tashi so angry. But he wanted to ease Tashi's anger, and said with a smile: "Tashi, we are the Red Army, a team composed of the poor people of the world, and also the team of the poor people of the world themselves, we are all a family...... We, the Red Army, firmly believe that all people in the world should be equal, and there should be no groveling things or titles, which is unfair to the laborers...... So, you don't have to call us adults, just call me Tashi, you can call me Zhang Qingshan, or Qingshan, call him Xiao Zhou, call him Baoyu, you can do it. ”
Tashi was obviously stunned by Zhang Qingshan's words, and his brows were furrowed at first, but gradually, his brows were relaxed, and then he looked over one by one, and saw that the three of them were all smiling and nodding, and there was no angry look because of his identity as he imagined, he nodded slightly, his expression relaxed, and his tone was much calmer: "Three big ...... The three Red Army, here is very dangerous, on the surface, everything is very calm and harmless, but it is precisely under such calm that it is dangerous step by step, and one careless will be in danger of life. Especially in many places, the difference is not visible to the naked eye at all, but as soon as you step on it, it will be swallowed directly. Sometimes even if there are people around, but because they are swallowed up so quickly, you can't save them if you want to......"
Tashi's words, though a bit long-winded, can make you feel his sincerity, and he is indeed right, the heartfelt words of an experienced man.
Therefore, Zhang Qingshan immediately went up the pole, first admitting that he did not face the water meadow with the right mentality, then thanking Tashi for his companionship and guidance, and finally, he began to ask for advice seriously.
But the answer to the first question he asked had nothing to do with water meadows......
