Chapter 385: Contradictions
Seeing that everyone didn't answer, Zhang Qingshan had to continue to talk to himself, but his tone was a little annoyed.
"Comrades, don't assume that you will be able to get out of the water meadows in just a few days...... I would like to advise you: as long as we don't completely get out of the water meadow, we must always be cautious, otherwise, God knows what will happen next. β
"Well! Lao Zhang reminded me right. Liu Bing also realized that his previous mentality was wrong, and immediately supported Zhang Qingshan: "Just now, like you, I heard that I would be able to walk out of the water and grassland in only a few days, and my heart was very 'excited'. But now that I think about Lao Zhang's words, it is indeed a wise saying, which made me sober up. Therefore, I hope that everyone will take this issue seriously and responsibly......"
Speaking of this, Liu Bing turned his head to Zhang Qingshan and said, "Old Zhang, I have a proposal. β
"You say. β
"I feel like tonight's meeting, regardless of the outcome, has to be kept secret. β
"It's natural, I'm in favor of it. β
Naturally, everyone was in favor of this proposal...... If nothing else, let's talk about food and time: if there is a sudden shortage of food, it will cause a sense of panic in the hearts of the soldiersβalthough they have experienced the days of not eating before, but these two days everyone can eat half full, although it is wild vegetables, but it is better than the previous days. Who wants to go back to those days of boiled wild vegetables?
Then there is the question of time, just now Lao Zhou calculated that after determining the date a little, the huge impact on the hearts of several people is indeed better to keep it secret, otherwise, it will make the soldiers overly optimistic. Although this mentality will give everyone a great boost from now until four or five days. However, if they haven't stepped out of the water meadow by then, it will also make many people's mentality immediately take a 180-degree turn, and immediately change from high morale to hopelessness. So, let's continue with a peaceful mind. Besides, it's not yet the best time to release this message and use this shock to boost morale, so it's also good to keep it a secret.
Because tonight's meeting was held on an ad hoc basis, and there was no preparation of anything related to the topic of the meeting in advance, everyone put forward what they thought of. In this way, the casual 'sex' is stronger, but it can also be seen from this that the problem of this meeting is seriously 'sexual' and urgent.
"Since everyone agrees, it is unanimously approved. Now, let me start with my thoughts on how to find food. After speaking, Zhang Qingshan looked at Zhou Ping and asked, "Old Zhou, how much lard and butter are there?"
"I have been strictly controlling the amount of lard these days......" After saying this, Zhou Ping thought of something, 'revealed' a rare smile, and said: "Sometimes, I secretly put butter into the dish as lard, and everyone didn't even notice it." β
Everyone laughed cooperatively. But in my heart, I thought: Lao Zhou, it's not that everyone hasn't found out, but everyone can't say, you really can't eat the taste of lard and butter? It's just that in this kind of place, no matter what kind of oil it is, if you can get some oil star flavor, everyone will be content. It's better than boiling wild vegetables, isn't it?
"Half of the lard and butter are left. β
"Well, that's good. Zhang Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "This afternoon, I got to know Comrade Qin Fang, and now, we only have one seriously injured comrade, and there are 21 lightly wounded...... So, I have two proposals here, and I hope you can help you make a decision. β
Zhang Qingshan took a puff of cigarette to make the thoughts in his mind clearer before saying: "The first proposal is: the rest of the food is naturally for the wounded and sick, but the problem is that it is only about twenty-five catties, and I estimate that it can support about two days at most if I 'touch' it." So, I wanted to just ration the wounded and sick and mix them with more wild vegetables. In this way, it should be able to support for two more days...... The second suggestion is to simply lower everyone's food standards by another standard. Those of us who are intact will simply eat boiled wild vegetables for the rest of our meals. The wounded and sick ate boiled wild vegetables with oil stars in the morning, and put a small amount of barley flour in the evening for that meal. In this way, everyone can still support it for a few more days. β
After speaking, Zhang Qingshan let out a long breath and said with a smile: "What do you think?"
"That's a good idea. Lao Wang, who had not spoken, saw that everyone nodded, and he finally expressed his opinion: "However, if we have to walk such a long way every day, but eat boiled wild vegetables for every meal, I estimate that everyone's physical strength will drop sharply, and in less than two days, the speed of the march will be greatly reduced." Therefore, I suggest that in order to maintain the physical strength of everyone who is in a hurry, everyone eats boiled wild vegetables in the morning and adds some oil to the cauldron in the evening. In this way, you can hold on for at least a while...... Besides, we are only a few days away from getting out of the water meadow, and this kind of combination should allow everyone to maintain the current speed to get out of this water meadow. β
Zhang Qingshan thought for a while, raised his hand, and said, "Lao Wang's method is good, I approve of it." β
Others raised their hands.
"The second point, Lao Wang, your food class must be expanded. At the very least, there must be a few people who are responsible for fishing, and more people are collecting wild vegetables along the way......" Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan smiled. Said: "Lao Wang, you are a master of fishing, at this time, don't hide your clumsiness, you must bring out a few more good apprentices, so that those wounded and sick can eat a few more bites of fish 'meat', and comrades can also drink a few more mouthfuls of fish soup...... Zhang Qingshan suddenly stopped, and then joked with a smile: "Lao Wang, thinking about it this way, the burden on your shoulders is not light! Everyone's food standards and whether you have the strength to walk are all on you." β
"I'll do my best to catch more fish to improve everyone's food. But how many people do you plan to increase the number of people collecting wild vegetables along the way?"
Zhang Qingshan was still thinking, but Liu Bing smiled and said: "Didn't you say it just now~! Everyone lined up, collecting firewood, and collecting wild vegetables at the same time, in this case, your food class will have to work harder, and you have to go farther to collect wild vegetables...... I think so, taking advantage of the large number of people, we set up a second food class. In this way, the two teams can collect wild vegetables on both sides of the line. β
"This is a good solution, and I support it. Peng Peng immediately raised his hand in support, and everyone naturally had no opinion on this, and they all raised their hands to agree.
"Apart from fishing and gathering wild vegetables, think about it, is there anything else that can satisfy your hunger?"
Regarding Zhang Qingshan's proposal, everyone 'revealed' a wry smile. Peng Peng shouted even more depressedly: "Lao Zhang, in this place where birds don't, don't expect more." Damn, you have to watch and watch the wild vegetables collected and eaten, and if one is not good, it is easy to be poisoned collectively. Fishing is even more rare, an absolute rarity. To put it mildly, if I had known that there were still fish to catch in this place, Lao Tzu would have loved to have a fishing tool in my hands. β
Everyone laughed, but Lao Wang frowned slightly and closed his mouth tightly.
Zhang Qingshan found Lao Wang's rich expression, looked at him suspiciously, and asked with three points of surprise and seven points of expectation: "Lao Wang, what did you think of?"
"Actually, there is one more thing to eat, and at least it can make everyone persevere, no! It should be said that it can definitely make everyone persist until the victory walks out of the water meadow......" Speaking of this, he felt two strange eyes, secretly glanced at Zhou Ping, quickly lowered his head, but muttered in his mouth: "Of course, this is also a last resort, can only be done." β
Before everyone could react for a while, Zhou Ping pointed at Lao Wang and said angrily: "Lao Wang, you don't fart here at Lao Tzu, dare to beat the idea of the four horses, don't blame Lao Tzu for breaking off with you." β
It turned out that when Lao Wang and Zhou Ping met for the first time, when the two of them chatted, Zhou Ping sighed how sorry it was for the two horses that died on the way here. But Lao Wang felt pity and smashed his mouth, saying that if he was present, he would definitely try his best to 'get' the two horses up and have a good meal. Then he sold how good he was at making horse meat, and even planned to go back to his hometown to open a horse meat shop after the victory of the revolution in the future. In the end, he actually fantasized that if there was really nothing to eat, he would take the remaining four horses and cut them.
For this reason, Zhou Ping almost turned his face and fought with Lao Wang on the spot.
Now that I heard that Lao Wang had hit the four horses again, it was strange that Zhou Ping could have a good temper.
After all, since ancient times, horses have been the 'brothers' of soldiers, and in ancient times, some knights even scraped off the horseskin after the death of their beloved horse, and after their death, they were wrapped in horseskin and buried.
However, understanding is understanding, and another problem is very prominent: you can't watch your comrades starve to death for a few horses, right?
Therefore, it is a little difficult for everyone to make a choice - the key is that it has not reached that point yet, so it is really difficult for everyone to express their position now. Of course, when it really gets to that point, you don't need to express your position, and what to do is clear at a glance.
"Lao Zhou, don't be so 'excited'~! Lao Wang is also for everyone's good, and bringing it up is also a way to keep everyone from going hungry, just in case ......"
Before Zhang Qingshan's words were finished, Zhou Ping raised his neck and shouted: "I don't care about anything else, I only know that whoever wants to kill a horse must first cross over me." β
Seeing that Zhou Ping's reaction was extremely 'intense', Zhang Qingshan's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know how to speak for a while. Unexpectedly, Peng Peng actually jumped out at this time. Pointing at Zhou Ping, he scolded: "Okay, you Zhou Ping, you actually watched your comrades starve to death for a few horses, what kind of heart are you *** safe...... Shao*** played tricks with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will tell you, when it really comes to that time, in order for comrades to have a stutter, let alone cross over from you, even if it is cut Lao Tzu's 'meat' to cook soup, Lao Tzu is also willing. β
Zhang Qingshan instantly understood: Peng Peng was only slightly transferred to realize just now, and now, Zhou Ping's words, the stab 'provoked' him, and it also 'provoked' him all of a sudden. After all, the flashpoint of Peng Peng's cousin's death was poisoning by eating wild vegetables, how could he stand the fact that someone starved his comrades to death for the sake of horses?
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Zhang Qingshan shouted violently: "Shut up Lao Tzu!"
Seeing that everyone looked at him in a daze, Zhang Qingshan roared angrily: "Do you *** think this is a vegetable market? Lao Tzu told you that this is a meeting of the party group." β
Seeing that the two of them were shocked by their momentum and didn't speak for a while, Zhang Qingshan's tone lowered a lot: "Now, sit down for Lao Tzu and continue the meeting!"
