The two walked with a smile and a smile. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ะจะฉะฉ.(7)(9)XS.ัะะ.
After walking for five or six minutes, he still didn't see the fire, which aroused Zhang Qingshan's suspicions...... Although it is half moon tonight, there is no fog, and it is said that you can see far away, especially the fire in the dark, which is definitely the feeling of a lighthouse. And Lao Zhang is alone, how can he stop the fire?
"Lao Wang, are you sure you are not going in the wrong direction?"
"Absolutely, that's right!" Lao Wang turned to look at Zhang Qingshan, then looked back at the distance, and then turned his head to Zhang Qingshan and said, "I watched Lao Zhou go this way, and he also specially instructed that he would never turn halfway, but would only go straight forward, how could he ......?"
As he spoke, Lao Wang also came to his senses, turned around and looked directly into the dark distance, and then turned back to look at Zhang Qingshan, the eyes of both of them were 'revealed' with a terrifying light, and a very serious question appeared in his mind: something happened!
In such an environment, when so many factors did not appear, there was only one possibility: Lao Zhou fell into the quagmire, so he didn't see the fire.
The two of them ran forward quickly.
After running for a few meters, Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but shout loudly while running: "Lao Zhou~!"
Before he could shout a second time, he heard someone not far away shouting, "Here it is!"
What's going on? It was not Lao Zhou's voice that answered, but Liu Bing's voice, what happened?
With this huge question, the two hurried over.
At a glance, not only were all the doubts solved, but Zhang Qingshan and Lao Wang glanced at each other, and all they saw was crying and laughing!
And by the way, a new question arises: why are you all here?
Lao Zhou, Peng Peng, and Liu Bing squatted in a row, perfectly blocking the small fire.
Yesterday's small kettle has been replaced with a small pot today, at this time, the water in the pot is boiling, Zhou Ping is busy putting wild vegetables in the pot, Peng Peng is holding a small handful of weeds to add fire, Liu Bing looked back at them with a smile, and said happily: "You two really stepped on it." If you come early, you have to help, and if you come late, you can't eat, and now, it's just right...... What are you doing with it? Quickly use a thin branch as chopsticks and get ready to start! Why, do you want me to serve it myself?"
Zhang Qingshan had to pick up a branch from the fire, break it in two, hand one to Lao Wang, and break the branch in his hand as chopsticks according to a certain proportion.
"Lao Zhang, you can't eat white food and contribute cigarettes, right?"
Zhang Qingshan rolled his eyes at Liu Bing, took out a cigarette from his pocket, scattered it for a while, lit it, took a puff, and asked in the smoke spitting, "I said, how did you two find out?"
As soon as he heard this question, Liu Bing immediately looked at Peng Peng, who was burning the fire, and under each other's eyes, both of them laughed proudly.
Immediately, Liu Bing told the story.
The feelings are still 'exposed' in this fire, and the initial reason is still Zhang Qingshan.
Zhang Qingshan didn't eat dinner, although he left the bowl of wild vegetables to Zhou Bao 'Yu' and Xiang Tao, but how could the two of them eat it.
So, the two of them thought about it, put it first, and then hand it to Zhang Qingshan to eat when Zhang Qingshan wanted to eat.
But Zhang Qingshan never came to eat, and the two couldn't rest assured, so they went to find Zhang Qingshan.
I met Liu Bing halfway, and after asking, Liu Bing took over this small task and went to Zhang Qingshan with a bowl.
Then he met Peng Peng again, and as soon as he inquired, under Peng Peng's persuasion, Liu Bing followed Peng Peng's suggestion: let it go first, wait for Zhang Qingshan to finish his night patrol, and then give him hot food Everyone knows that Zhang Qingshan will only sleep after inspecting the entire temporary camp every night.
Wait, wait, wait!
Finally, the two couldn't wait any longer, so they looked for Zhang Qingshan with a bowl.
Zhang Qingshan didn't find it, but he unexpectedly ran into Zhou Ping, who was secretly 'touching' and walking outside the camp with a kettle and a large handful of wild vegetables. This posture, no matter how you look like a thief, no! To be precise, you are going to open a small stove.
Everyone is a smart person, and after this period of contact, who still doesn't know who?
Zhou Ping couldn't deny it, so he had to 'hand' over from the truth, so the two took the initiative to join the gang and followed...... Liu Bing is an arrogant person in the end, seeing that such a big kettle, even if it is full, there are not many wild vegetables, so he simply took the initiative to take on the task, and generously borrowed a small pot from the cooking class, not to mention, but also asked for more hay. This is where we are.
After saying this, it was already five minutes later, and the wild vegetables were cooked, so everyone picked up their chopsticks and started!
"Lao Zhang, you are just not kind, such a delicious thing, you didn't tell us, we still treat you as our own comrades......"
Peng Peng was holding a pair of chopsticks and wild vegetables, and he ate them very fragrantly, but not only did he not let go of Zhang Qingshan, but also touched Liu Bing who was eating wild vegetables with an inverted crutch, obviously asking Liu Bing to pick up the topic and continue to criticize Zhang Qingshan.
Liu Bing put a chopstick of wild vegetables in his mouth, because it was a little hot, let him chew while inhaling the cold air, but even so, he still took over the topic very well and said, "Old Peng said this...... This makes sense. Lao Zhang, do you really want it, hide all the good things, secretly 'touch' and 'touch' to enjoy yourself, but forget that the comrades are still in trouble, you guy can't bear it when you look at it?"
What is rare is that Zhang Qingshan not only humbly accepted criticism, but also listened with a smile on his face and kept nodding his head, but the speed at which he picked up wild vegetables was obviously one step faster than others.
Zhou Ping really couldn't listen to it anymore, and while chewing wild vegetables, he turned his head and said to Liu Bing and Peng Peng: "You two should say a few words......! Eating wild vegetables in a pot is much better than boiling them in a kettle. Next time, I'll cook it in a small pot. โ
When the two of them heard this, they laughed twice at the same time, and then concentrated on dealing with the wild vegetables.
Because there is no bowl, everyone can only clip a chopstick to eat, in order to clip a chopstick, moreover, there are many people, the pot is small, you have to wait for the next 'wave' of wild vegetables to go to the pot before you can continue, therefore, the time to eat is a little long, but the scene is lively.
After more than 20 minutes, I finally finished eating the wild vegetables I brought.
Liu Bing was obviously still a little unsatisfied, and said while picking his teeth with his nails: "It's good to open a small stove." Lao Zhou, bring more wild vegetables next time, it's delicious. โ
"That's right! Eating like this, you can feel like eating hot pot, good, very good!" After Peng Peng said a word, he turned his head to Lao Wang and said, "Lao Wang, next time I will 'get' more fish bones...... We don't have rare fish 'meat', but this fish bone is boiled and eaten with wild vegetables, it is fragrant!"
Lao Wang nodded with a smile and acknowledged Liu Bing and Peng Peng's words.
"If this is the case every day, you must inform me in advance, I will skip dinner and enjoy it every day...... By the way, Lao Peng, you say, every day like this, will I gain weight?" he thought of something, smiled very cheerfully and said: "When the victory comes out of the meadow, as soon as the chiefs see our soldiers all hungry and skinny, but I am as fat as a pig, what do you say, what will the chiefs think of me? Will they immediately think that I am greedy for everyone's rations and shoot me?"
"I think this is a good idea, so I decided to skip dinner in the future and come to eat Xiaozao every day. I have been a cadre for so many years, and this time I finally enjoy the benefits of being a cadre. Old Peng, do you say?"
"Yes!"
Don't look at the two singing and harmonizing, talking cheerfully, while the other three are all smiling and listening, nodding, no one 'interjects', but what everyone thinks in their hearts is similar.
To be honest, eating like this is indeed better than a big pot of rice, and in such an environment, it is relatively a luxury. But it's not much stronger: the absence of oil is the main thing. What they eat is just an atmosphere, or a lively one.
And the luxury lies in the fact that the 'wave' costs a bundle of dry weeds.
However, don't forget, the fish bones here are spit out of the mouths of more than a dozen wounded and sick, and some of them are still stained with saliva, and the wounded and sick also know that fish 'meat' is rare, and when they eat fish 'meat', they also suck and suck, chew and chew on the fish bones. To put it mildly, before knowing this, you can still eat it, which must be a bit of a burden in your heart.
However, even so, as cadres, they can still eat so calmly and deliciously, which in itself reflects the nobility of each of their own character. In layman's terms, they are eating what their comrades have eaten, and this alone is enough to prove everything.
After the break, the crowd dispersed, and still no one said anything about secrecy, because it was not necessary. In the same way, everyone knows in their hearts that tomorrow's dinner, I'm afraid that none of them will go to eat.
The next day, the troops departed.
Along the way, I didn't meet any lonely comrades or a team of stragglers.
However, there was also a little accident, a comrade accidentally fell into the water, and the reason was actually twisted foot.
Liu Bing and several other leaders only joked about that comrade's bad luck and that he could break his foot; however, Zhang Qingshan saw the seriousness of the problem, and his physical strength had dropped sharply, and his physical fitness had begun to decline by a large margin.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to break the foot in the grass, and most of the problems that can occur are due to long-term malnutrition, which leads to a significant decline in the body's physical fitness, or a sharp decline in the body's physical fitness in a certain period of time.
With this beginning, it also indicates that there will be more and all kinds of situations due to a sharp decline in physical fitness, and the situation of the whole army will become more and more serious.
But what makes people worry but are extremely helpless is that in the current environment, there is no way to solve this problem! We can't stop and rest for a few days, right? In that case, it can only be tantamount to slow 'sexual' suicide and consume what little physical energy we have left.
With this huge worry, Zhang Qingshan brought it up after the 'supper' that night, and the result was as Zhang Qingshan judged, everyone was helpless. The final solution is also equivalent to self-comfort: while everyone still has some strength, go out as soon as possible.
But the problem is, who knows how many days it will take? And the problem at hand is that the physical fitness of the soldiers is declining sharply, and as leaders, they are powerless, which makes everyone blame themselves, but they dare not 'show' it, so as not to be seen by others, thus affecting their morale.
Zhang Qingshan looked at the bright stars, sighed long, and muttered, "It's time to come, it's still here......
