Chapter 73: I Can Make Do with Anything
I counted the number of participants, Shanhe Village plus other villages, a total of 517 people, and more than 100 people came from other villages alone.
However, the people from the other villages are all young and strong young men with excellent conditions, and I have a hunch that these people will be the backbone of the mountain and river defense team in the future.
Because there were not enough sandbags, the first game was scored in three waves, with about 170 people in each wave.
From here to the opposite side of the hill I measured, back and forth is about five miles, there is no road in the middle, it is all saline-alkali land, on top of stones and dead grass, it takes about 50 minutes to walk at a normal speed, and it is not too much to carry sandbags back in two hours.
I have also thought about it, this item is to test the endurance of weights, as long as you walk back at the speed of walking, even if you have passed, it means that the basic physical fitness is there, and you can improve it through exercise later.
Lu Tieniu and several of her sisters insisted on participating in the first wave, and everyone let them, so they and several women in the village who signed up were all put in the first wave.
I looked at it, and there were five sisters in total, but only three of them competed, and the other two didn't play.
These two people, one with a pale face and a world-weary face, sat at a slightly higher place with a few shotguns in their arms, looking at Lu Tieniu and the other three people standing on the starting line, coughing once or twice from time to time.
And the other, I can't understand it a little, this woman is too fashionable, not only has pure and beautiful facial features, but also wears light makeup, lipstick, a light blue silk top on the upper body, with white lace trim, a white gauze skirt, white gauze socks, and a pair of small black leather shoes on her feet.
A long straight hair is draped around the waist, and a white pearl hairpin is pinned to the top of the head, like a rich lady.
The woman was still carrying a locked black leather suitcase in her hand, and looked at the sisters who were preparing to compete with a smile, but a group of old men around her were secretly looking at her.
After everyone who participated in the competition carried sandbags and stood still, Zhao Donglai said "start", and everyone rushed out, not to mention, Sister Lu Tieniu was really not left behind, and she kept in front.
I ran for a while and ran away, I couldn't see clearly standing here, some people followed to cheer up the people in the game, I looked at the two women, the one who was holding the gun and coughing was extremely cold, and he didn't look easy to get along with, while this fashionable woman was always smiling and grinning, and seemed to be easy to talk.
So I went up to the two women and asked:
"Neither of you play?"
The one who sat and coughed looked at me and turned his head, but did not speak, and the fashionable woman grinned, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said:
"Hey, I'm running all over in sweat, like a fool, so I'm not going!"
Uh-
"Where do we live, big shopkeeper?"
The fashionable woman suddenly looked around, and finally landed on the dark tunnel opening.
What? Do I have to arrange a place for you to live? Even if the three of them passed the competition, I could find a room in the tunnel for the time being, but I couldn't care about these two - one seemed to be a sick man with a bad temper, and the other was a delicate and exquisite lady.
"This, there are so many people from other villages, I didn't know in advance, and I haven't considered the issue of providing accommodation, besides, even if they want to live here, the three of them have to pass the competition exam, and even if they pass, they can only stay three, but the two ......"
"Humph!"
When the cold-faced woman heard me, she snorted coldly, stood up suddenly, and took off the gun on her back.
The rifle looked different from her other sisters, it seemed to have a scope on it, I didn't understand it, and I guessed it was a sniper rifle.
I saw this woman pointing her gun at the sky, I looked in the direction of her gun, there was a faint black spot in the air, like a flying bird, and then "bang", which startled the people around, and then looked at the black spot in the sky, which fell straight down.
After landing on the ground, someone ran over to pick it up, and it was an eagle falcon.
"Ahem......" the woman coughed and sat down again.
I looked at her and was speechless for a while, this is much higher than Li Shishi's rank, this hand is not just a hundred steps through Yang, then it must be at least four or five hundred meters.
"The big shopkeeper, can my second sister's pistol technique stay?"
"I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it."
Hearing me say this, the woman smiled and said:
"Then I'll join the medical team, I'm a surgeon, and I've stayed abroad!"
Ah, I heard you right! There is a surgeon in the medical team who has stayed abroad, which is even more difficult than walking through a hundred steps.
I didn't know what to say for a while, happy or happy, but I felt that my temple was too small, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep the great god.
"Where do we live, the big shopkeeper?" The woman asked again.
"In the backyard of our grain store, there are several houses, including my main house, and I will pour them out to you."
I don't think about it.
"Thank you for the big shopkeeper, then I'm welcome, I can make do with everything, just be more demanding about where I live, hehe......"
I thought about the few dilapidated houses in the backyard of the grain store, and a faint inferiority complex arose, and I had to ask Zhao Dong to find a few carpenters to decorate it well, and then make a few decent pieces of furniture.
"I haven't asked a few young ladies what to call them, why did they come to this small place in our Shanhe Village?"
I finally couldn't help the curiosity in my heart and asked.
"My name is Lu Shanshan, my second sister's name is Lu Linlin, my eldest sister's name is Lu Tiewei, my third sister's name is Lu Tiexin, and my fourth sister's name is Lu Tieniu."
Oh, it turns out she's an old pimple.
When it comes to why they came here, it turns out that Lu Shanshan and Lu Linlin are sisters, living in the Harbin Special Economic Zone, and their father is on an errand under Zhang Xueliang.
After Lu Shanshan came back from abroad, she had done well in a hospital, but her stepmother insisted on encouraging her father to marry her to her stepmother's nephew.
Her stepmother's nephew was simply useless and smoked, and she quarreled with her stepmother in a fit of rage and accidentally smashed one of her stepmother's eyes.
The stepmother's family was a bit powerful, and she was afraid that after the stepmother's family came, she would suffer alone, so she packed up her things and ran out of the house overnight.
Lu Linlin was not in good health, had a bad temper, and her stepmother didn't like her even more, so she had already sent her to her uncle's house who lived on Black Blind Island, and she had nowhere to go, so she went to Black Blind Island to find her sister.
After arriving at the Black Blind Island, she found that life there was too hard, she had to hunt and work every day, and she had to suffer from Maozi's anger. And the uncle has died, there are only three cousins in the family, Maozi on the island saw that there was no man in the family, and always came to bully them, and the day before yesterday there was an argument, and she accidentally beat Maozi to death three more.
So the sisters discussed, cleaned up the house, threw the three hairs who were killed in the house, set a fire, and the sisters ran away from the Black Blind Island overnight.
Along the way, they just wanted to find a remote place with few people to avoid the limelight, but after escaping to this village, they heard some people talking about a rich village in Shanhe Village, and they were paying a high price to hire someone who knew how to use guns and doctors, so they also came to take a look.
This is strange to me, the Shanhe Security Team recruits people only in this Shanhe Village, how did this news spread so far to the township?
But this Lu Shanshan, as soon as Liu Yang came back, he killed three and injured one, although he looked smiling, he was not a good stubble.
"You blinded your stepmother and killed three hairs, you are very ruthless." I tried to ask.
"You don't know, my stepmother is so bad, I'll have to kill her next time I go back. My second sister is sick like this, she doesn't give treatment, and she sends her to a place as bad as Black Blind Island, just to let her die there...... You don't know, I was at the time, grabbing her hair with one hand, holding her cigarette pouch and pot in the other, just smashing it like that, it was a coincidence, her eyes jumped out of her sockets like grapes, hanging on her face and dangling, she screamed like killing a pig, ridiculous to death hahaha......"
I secretly had a cold war, and I didn't want to know the details of how she "missed" and killed three Maozi.
After just chattering, the people in the race have already started to run back.
From a distance, the speed of movement is not fast, just kidding, carrying a 150-pound sandbag can run, and can run faster, that's hell, but I didn't expect them to run fast.
Slowly getting closer, I can already see clearly, most of the people who are trotting in front of me are those young men from other villages, and only a dozen or so people from Shanhe Village are running among them.
Behind this first batch, followed by the three sisters, these three sisters really didn't blow it casually, and a large group of men were thrown off behind, and after the big wave of forty or fifty people in front of them reached the end, the three sisters also arrived quickly.
Then there was the large army that had been thrown away, all carrying sandbags on their shoulders and moving here step by step, looking at the difficult steps, I even blamed myself a little for not fully considering the gap between people.
After the next big wave has arrived, it is slowly soaring like a snail at the end, some people look at it and can't take a step, and a few drop the sandbag and give up directly.
In the end, the first wave was completed, and 29 people were eliminated. Proceed with the second wave of plays.
Nearly four hours later, the three waves had been completed, and Zhao Donglai began to count the results, excluding the eliminated, there were 345 people left, including 37 women.
Seeing that those who were eliminated were very disappointed, I decided to leave these people behind, and set up a reserve team under the detachment, and there were other institutions behind the reserves, such as logistics or something, when I made this decision out, everyone was extremely encouraged, and those who had gloomy faces because of the elimination also laughed.
After another conversation, someone came out of the tunnel and informed that lunch was ready.
Considering that there was no room for five or six hundred people in the backyard of the grain store, I asked people to carry the food to the saline ground to eat.
I suddenly felt that this saline land was very good, and after the trees were planted, I would build some pergolas or something here.
It's also good to come over occasionally to see the scene and drink tea, they all have guns, and they don't have to be afraid of those wolves, bears, or whatever.
"Big shopkeeper, what are we going to eat at noon?" Lu Shanshan asked.
"I don't know, it should be white rice, braised pork and potatoes!" I thought about it and said, as if I remember that Zhao Donglai said these two things in the morning.
"Well, that's okay, I can make do with everything, but I have high requirements for food, and I have to have meat for every meal, hehehe......"
