Zhou Baoyu, whose face was full of grievances, waved the spoon in his hand, as if he was dancing a big knife, and shouted like thunder: "Wind blows us, beat us with rain, these tortures are all over, but we don't have much food, and it still wastes our food like this, it's really ...... It's ......"

"Okay, what do you talk like this rambling?" Zhang Qingshan stopped Zhou Baoyu's nagging, pulled Zhou Ping to the fire, glanced at the inside of the pot again, and saw that only dried beef was boiled, so he looked up and asked, "Why don't you live in barley flour?"

"I didn't think that the barley on that horse would definitely get wet, and I thought I could save it for a while, so I just boiled the beef first, and when you came back, I just cooked more barley. ”

Regarding Zhou Baoyu's cleverness and vision, Zhang Qingshan nodded with satisfaction. Zhou Ping, who was taking out a cigarette on the side, looked up at Zhou Baoyu and quipped: "Don't pretend to be tall, you kid, who doesn't know, you gluttonous guy must be thinking about cooking more beef, right?"

"Lao Zhou, you can drink more wine, but you can't talk nonsense. I'm obviously trying to save ......."

Before Zhou Baoyu's words were finished, he saw Lao Zhou look behind him, grabbed the bag of dried beef and handed it to Zhou Baoyu: "Come, I will fulfill your wishes today, and cook more beef to make you happy." ”

Zhou Baoyu is really a foodie, and as soon as he heard that he could cook more beef, he immediately lost the mind to fight with Zhou Ping. happily added three pieces of beef to the pot, and then, he put his hand into his pocket again, but looked at Zhang Qingshan with some flattery.

"Okay, I'm going to allow you to cook an extra piece today. ”

"Big brother, you are so good to me. ”

Hurriedly threw a piece of beef into it, stirred it with a spoon a few times, and said to Zhang Qingshan: "Big brother, now that it's dawn, I'll go with you to find the other horse that ran away, right?"

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Ping, who was smoking, immediately objected when he heard this: "Can you go into the water to fish with your small body?" It's better to cook here and wait for us to come back." ”

"Then what's going on? You and your eldest brother went to salvage just now, and it's my turn. ”

Zhou Ping was about to argue, but Zhang Qingshan on the side interjected: "Forget it, Old Zhou, let Baoyu go with me this time, you still have to bake more fires to warm your body, so as not to catch a cold." ”

Seeing Zhang Qingshan speak, and now his body is indeed a little cold - the key is that he understands that he feels a biting cold on his body now, if he uses water again, or doesn't hurry up to warm up his body, I'm afraid there is really a possibility of cold. And once you have a cold and fever, it will definitely affect the speed of progress. Therefore, Zhou Ping pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Then you two pay attention to safety, if you can't do it, forget it." With what we're bringing with us, it's enough for the three of us to get out of the water meadow. ”

Zhang Qingshan took the elated Zhou Baoyu to look for it, but Zhang Qingshan couldn't figure it out: they all looked for a range of more than 200 meters, but they never saw the horse. In the end, seeing that Zhou Ping was already urging them to make their meal, they had to give up.

After breakfast, he began to count the supplies: in fact, there was no inventory, because each horse carried about the same things, mainly seven of the twenty torches. And what the lost horse had more than elsewhere were three pairs of tall leather boots, which Lausanne had given them when they first arrived in the Lausanne tribe.

And Zhou Baoyu was the most unhappy of the three, as soon as he heard that these three pairs of tall leather boots were missing, he immediately pouted, looking sullen and sad. Although he said that he was sad for the horse, in fact, everyone understood that he was sad for the pair of high leather boots made for him, because this was the first time Zhou Baoyu had worn leather boots when he was fifteen years old—his only pair of cloth shoes were issued to him after he participated in the revolution.

Not to mention that Zhou Baoyu is a teenager: the loss of this horse and the resulting losses have aroused Zhou Baoyu's great attention.

So, before setting off, he deliberately only led one horse, and he was fighting to designate that he would lead it, and no one else was allowed to interfere. Just because this horse carried his favorites: a large piece of toffee, and a bag of crushed toffee - this is a snack specially given to him by Yangjin Lanze, and it is naturally his favorite snack goods. In order to be able to eat toffee all the way out of the water meadow, he also deliberately calculated the amount of toffee that he could only eat a few small pieces of toffee every day. Of course, he also calculated that part of this was set aside, mainly for Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Ping to have a good time, as well as the amount of food in the period after walking out of the grassland and finding the main force of the Red Army.

Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Ping also knew the little Jiujiu in his heart: Aren't they afraid that these two bags of toffee will be lost? But they didn't break it, and deliberately pretended not to know and acquiesced to Zhou Baoyu's little Jiujiu.

Some things are like that: when you're not looking for them, you seem to see them everywhere, but when you look for them, you can't find them.

Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Baoyu searched for the lost horse for a long time but couldn't find it, but when the three of them gave up the search, they inadvertently found it.

When he walked about two hundred and fifty meters in the direction, Zhou Baoyu, who looked back from time to time to pay attention to his horse, accidentally found something strange in a puddle next to him, and when he looked closely, it was actually half a horse's head.

"Big brother, Lao Zhou, look at the two of you, is this the horse we lost?"

Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Ping ran over happily, but when they saw it, they had to be disappointed: it was indeed the lost horse, but except for the half of the horse's head exposed on the sludge, all the other parts of the horse were covered by the sludge.

After such a long time of cooperation, there is no need to speak about many things, and often you can understand what the other party wants to express with just one look. Just like now, Zhou Ping frowned and looked at Zhang Qingshan, Zhang Qingshan sighed lightly and shook his head.

"Alright, Baoyu, let's go!"

"Big brother, don't salvage?"

"It's too weird in this water meadow, and the water is poisonous to varying degrees. Everything on this horse is covered in sludge, even if it is salvaged, it is useless to say that if you eat it, you may be poisoned. ”

Zhou Baoyu opened his mouth and wanted to say: It's good to salvage those three pairs of tall leather boots! But think about it carefully, for the sake of three pairs of tall leather boots that have no practical effect for the time being, there is a possibility of being caught by a cold and fever, which is indeed a bit uneconomical. He could only swallow back the words that came to his lips.

sighed, looked at it regretfully, and reluctantly left.

For the next three days, there were no surprises. However, probably because of the loss of two horses, the three of them were not very comfortable, and the oppressive atmosphere brought about by the silence around them, the three of them did not like to talk much. Even if the three of them want to raise the atmosphere to break this depression, they often lose their talking sex after saying a few words.

It is precisely because the two bags of barley were wet that the three of them deliberately ate three meals a day in the past three days, and tried to eat as much as possible at each meal, and the purpose is naturally self-evident. However, everyone is very conscious, and without being reminded by others, they collect wild vegetables they know all the way and pack them, just in case there is not enough food, they can use wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

However, it's not all bad, there is also a good thing to strengthen the confidence of the three of them to catch up with the main force and get out of the grassland: along the way, the three of them intermittently encountered more than a dozen corpses, all of which are still there, none of them are white bones, obviously, these more than ten corpses have died recently, that is, these people are all left by the unit where Zhang Qingshan and the three of them are. Occasionally, a grave could be seen on a dirt slope, apparently burying the bones as the troops passed by. In other words, the direction in which Zhang Qingshan and the three of them chased was accurate, but they didn't know how far away it was.

In addition, some corpses began to appear on the road, not lying on the relatively dry soil slope, but lying on the weeds, and no one cleaned them up. This was the first time that the three of them had encountered such a situation, and their hearts were also half happy and half worried: Happily, this situation showed that they were getting closer to the main force, and the worry was that such sacrifices were gradually increasing, and they were all their own comrades-in-arms.

"The left thigh was injured and was already rotting. Another corpse fell on the water meadow, this is the most common thing in the past few days, so that Zhang Qingshan and the three of them have become a little numb to this: every time they run with hope, in order to catch up with the almost desperate hope - in case they meet a dying comrade-in-arms, perhaps, with the medicine brought by the three of them, they can be saved, even if it is good, but every time they get it can only be disappointed.

Under the constant blow of disappointment, it is difficult for the three of them not to become numb to this kind of situation.

So much so that now the three of them just subconsciously stepped forward, first touched each other's arteries, determined that they were dead, and then checked whether the other party died of injury or hunger. After that, they could only take off the five-pointed red star on the opponent's military cap - most of the dead soldiers' five-pointed red stars were removed, but a small number of dead soldiers still had the five-pointed red star on their military caps. In the end, he could only salute the corpse and turn around to continue the Long March. It's not that the three of them are ruthless, and they don't help bury the bodies of their comrades when they encounter them, but because there are no dry soil slopes nearby, all of them are water and grass, even if the three of them want to drag the corpse away, they can't be sure when they will be able to bury it. To put it bluntly, this is a bit futile and a great delay in the journey - in case a lying comrade-in-arms is dying, and the three of them are sad because of their fast foot strength, wouldn't it be more meaningful than this to save their comrades-in-arms at a critical moment?

Zhang Qingshan nodded slightly, and couldn't even bear to look at Zhou Baoyu who was full of disappointment - at the beginning of such a scene, Zhang Qingshan patiently comforted Zhou Baoyu and persuaded him not to be disappointed in the revolution, but after encountering it too many times, Zhang Qingshan himself was a little disappointed, so he could only rely on Zhou Baoyu to adapt.

"Take off his five-pointed red star, and we will continue the long march. ”

Collected the five-pointed red star on the hat of this comrade-in-arms, saluted, and left.

Although this blow is not intense, but subtly, it still makes people feel doubtful about the future, and even despair in confidence - if a person walks like a machine in a daze, I am afraid that he has already been mentally crushed by the environment, but fortunately they are three people, and the feeling of having companionship is particularly important and precious at this time, although the three of them are more or less disappointed and confused: can we really walk through this water meadow?

When the three of them dragged their tired bodies and minds, silently walking on the vast water and grassland, and when the sun was setting, Zhou Baoyu suddenly pointed ahead, with three points of excitement, three points of expectation, and four points of doubt in his voice. Restrained his voice, he asked:

......
