Chapter 306: A Major Unexpected Discovery
readx;?ā Sister Xueqin is fine. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info just became a little bit less talkative. ā
Qin Fang finally stopped her tears, but she was still a little choked up when she spoke.
As soon as he heard this, the stone in Zhang Qingshan's heart finally landed. From the fact that he flicked the cigarette butt two meters away with his fingers, skillfully lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly, it could be seen that he was in a much lighter mood.
Seeing that Qin Fang was speechless after saying this, Zhou Baoyu was anxious: "There is nothing else?"
"It's gone. Qin Fang turned his head and glanced at Zhou Baoyu angrily, and subconsciously said: "What else do you want to know......" But before he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Baoyu secretly glance at Zhang Qingshan a few times, and then looked at it, winking at himself. Qin Fang immediately realized: Zhang Qingshan definitely wanted to hear about Xiang Xueqin, the more the better.
Hurriedly showed a smile to Zhang Qingshan and said, "Brother-in-law, you also know that Sister Xueqin is better than me, but after Sister Zhang Lian died, she obviously didn't like to talk a little." Later, I don't know which bastard sacrificed you...... Tell her the news that you're missing, and she'll be even less talkative - at the time, being missing often meant sacrifice. Later, she went to the assault company, and when she came back, she passed by our division headquarters and came to see me. It's just that when she met me, she held my hand and didn't say a word, but I kept chatting with her, and she kept smiling and listening. At the time of separation, she told me to take care of me, I must get out of the grass victoriously, and she wanted to get drunk with me in northern Shaanxi......"
You might as well not say this, you can learn from me if you can't speak! At this time, how can you say these things that make your eldest brother worry...... Zhou Baoyu wanted to secretly stop Qin Fang from talking, but Qin Fang was the fastest, and he said it all like pouring beans. Zhou Baoyu couldn't stop it, so he could only look at Zhang Qingshan, trying to judge Zhang Qingshan's inner thoughts through the subtle changes on Zhang Qingshan's face.
But Zhang Qingshan's complexion didn't change at all, because he kept a straight face, and even after listening to this, he still kept a straight face, but Zhou Baoyu faintly felt that the momentum on Zhang Qingshan's body seemed to sink a little.
"Xiaofang, after you are assigned to each division, are you busy?"
"It's not busy, because after being assigned to the divisions, the comrades also helped us take care of the wounded, and with more manpower, we were not so busy. ā
After Zhang Qingshan asked a few more painless questions, he finally asked him what he was most worried about: "How is your sister Xueqin eating?"
"Sister Xueqin has been assigned to the 18th Division, and the situation of their division is slightly better than our 17th Division. I heard that when Sister Xueqin and them were just assigned to the 18th Division, the commander of the 18th Division specially granted them 50 catties of grain. It's not much, but if you eat it with wild vegetables, you can last for a few days. ā
Zhang Qingshan nodded and sighed: he could imagine Xiang Xueqin's current situation, and he could also understand the reason why Xiang Xueqin had changed so little: Seeing the wounded die one by one because of lack of food and medicine, as a nurse, who could get up happily? Who would not be overwhelmed by this increasing pressure? But there was nothing he could do, that kind of helpless pain and despair, and deep self-blame, which no outsiders could understand. Silence is inevitable!
Stand up and walk more than ten meters away. With his left hand on his waist and a cigarette in his right hand, he looked up at the sky while inhaling, but tears couldn't stop flowing......
Qin Fang didn't know what was wrong with Zhang Qingshan, she looked at it a little strangely, got up and was about to walk over, but was pulled by Zhou Ping.
"Xiao Fang, let Lao Zhang stay alone for a while! We have come this way, the pressure on his shoulders is not small, and he is also very tired, and he has been worried about the situation of his sister-in-law and the assault company, now that we have this news, we don't need to disturb him. ā
Xiao Fang nodded, but looked at Zhang Qingshan's back with a complicated expression: this strange man, as if there is nothing in the world that he can't do, has always been a hero in her heart. But I never thought that such a strong and good man also had such a tender side in his heart...... For a while, she was a little crazy.
Of course, Qin Fang definitely didn't notice that Zhou Baoyu behind her was picking up a few toffees from the ground in surprise at this time...... This is when she was in a state of emotion just now, she accidentally slipped from her pocket and fell to the ground when she threw herself on the ground twice and cried bitterly.
Zhang Qingshan stood for ten minutes, and he didn't even notice when the cigarette butt in his hand went out.
He wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve and turned back to the crowd.
"Are you all rested?"
"Alright. ā
"Then keep going. ā
I don't know if it was because the long-term depression on the soul was released, Qin Fang regained the lively and lovely little girl who loved to talk and quarrel with Zhou Baoyu, and completely forgot Zhang Qingshan's warning before. On the contrary, Zhou Baoyu still remembers, so it is destined that when Zhou Baoyu is bickering, every time he comes to a critical moment, he does not dare to continue bickering because he remembers Zhang Qingshan's warning, his momentum is getting weaker and weaker, and the fire in his heart begins to precipitate and accumulate again.
The water meadow seems peaceful, but secretly it is full of dangers. Not to mention anything else, just under the combination of aquatic plants, stepping on it, like stepping on a tofu bun, the seemingly thick grass pile sinks directly, while the surrounding water makes a "coo" sound while bubbling, which makes people a little frightened.
Especially now that the rain has just ended, the grass is shinier and the water is clearer, but it is this seemingly bottom-notching scene that tends to make people more insensitive, and the danger increases dramatically: the clear water makes it easy to ignore its true depth, and it is even more dangerous to fall.
Whether it was Peng Bing or Wu Shaohong, they almost fell off the horse along the way, and in the end, it was Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Ping who were responsible for paying attention to and rescuing a wounded person, so that the two of them did not fall off the horse. Sometimes, there were too many puddles, and in order to reduce the weight of the horses from stepping on the aquatic weeds because of their loads, so that the aquatic weeds could not bear such heavy weight, Peng Bing and Wu Shaohong had to dismount and walk with crutches.
But anyway, on the first day, the six of them found a small piece of dry grass to camp in the sunset.
There was no need to be instructed, and the few people had a tacit understanding like they had worked together for many years: Zhang Qingshan was responsible for cutting shredded meat and distributing food rations, Zhou Baoyu was responsible for fetching water, Zhou Ping was responsible for digging pits and lighting fires, Peng Bing and Wu Shaohong were responsible for picking wild vegetables, and Qin Fang was responsible for washing vegetables and changing the dressing for the two wounded after eating.
After a tiring day, it was finally time to camp, and everyone's mood that was originally a little melancholy gradually improved.
Zhou Baoyu held the pot, hummed the revolutionary song, walked briskly to a clear water place that had been selected a long time ago, and was about to bend down to fetch water, but suddenly found something, and he was so happy that he opened his mouth and screamed "Ah!"
Others thought something had happened to him, so they turned their heads to look over, but they saw Zhou Baoyu holding the pot ear in his left hand and pointing at the puddle with his right hand, his face was slightly red with excitement, and he shouted: "There are fish! There are big fish here...... Hah, hah! We can eat fish......
watched Zhou Baoyu put the pot down as he spoke, and celebrated by dancing in circles in the same place, as if he had eaten fish.
As another snack, as soon as Qin Fang heard that there was fish, he immediately threw the wild vegetables he was picking on a small cloth, and said, "I'll go see if he cheated or not", and rushed to Zhou Baoyu without looking back. The speed was so fast that even Zhang Qingshan was surprised: When I was hedging against the reactionaries, it didn't seem to be so fast.
rushed to Zhou Baoyu's side in one breath, grabbed Zhou Baoyu and asked urgently: "Fish...... Fish...... Where?"
"There, I saw two of them that long. ā
After glancing at Zhou Baoyu and drawing a length of more than a foot, Qin Fang ran to the edge of the puddle and hurriedly searched.
At first glance, he didn't see the fish he imagined, Qin Fang simply squatted by the puddle and waited.
After more than ten seconds, there were still no fish.
Maybe it was because he felt that Zhou Baoyu was yelling there and scared the fish, so that the fish didn't dare to come forward, Qin Fang turned his head and glared at Zhou Baoyu angrily, and scolded loudly: "What are you doing with the ghosts and screaming? ā
Zhou Baoyu pursed his lips, and in Qin Fang's eyes, he walked to Qin Fang's side helplessly, squatted down, and waited with Qin Fang.
Zhang Qingshan and the others were firstly because the business at hand had not yet been done, and secondly, they felt that Zhou Baoyu's words were a little unbelievable, after all, they didn't talk about fish along the way, and they didn't even see a single mouse. Therefore, several people were busy with their own business, and they didn't run over to see the strange for the first time. However, judging from the behavior of a few people looking up at the past, several people are still a little curious in their hearts, or rather, waiting for the final determination with more expectations.
After about a minute, I suddenly saw Qin Fang jump up, pointed to the water, and turned around excitedly and shouted to everyone: "Fish! There are really fish! Come and see, there are really fish...... Brother-in-law, come and help me catch fish...... Hurry!"
Zhou Baoyu on the side also shouted excitedly: "This is definitely the third fish, a little smaller than the two I saw before." ā
Zhang Qingshan just finished cutting the shredded meat, looked up at the extremely excited snack goods, and while inserting the bayonet back into the scabbard, he replied to the two of them, "Okay! I'll come here." He lowered his head and smiled at Zhou Ping, who was blowing on the fire, and said, "Old Zhou, you are busy first, and I'll go and see the situation." ā
Zhou Ping straightened up, smiled at Zhang Qingshan and nodded, "Go ahead." If there is really a fish, catch two to make soup, it is not only delicious, but also very nourishing......" Speaking of this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but smash his mouth, licked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and saw Zhang Qingshan looking at it with a smile, he felt that he was a little unkind to be so greedy just now, so he scolded with a smile: "Damn, I can't even remember when was the last time I ate fish? ā
"Okay! When we get it, let's make a pot of fish soup. Zhang Qingshan laughed and patted Zhou Ping's shoulder, then turned his head to Peng Bing and Wu Shaohong and smiled: "You two help Lao Zhou, I'll go catch fish for you to replenish your body." ā
"Okay! Better grab more. ā
It seems that everyone's demand for a change of taste is very strong! However, thinking about the deliciousness of the fish soup, Zhang Qingshan also swallowed his saliva.
A little embarrassed, he touched the back of his head and walked briskly to the puddle......
