march to victory

"Brother-in-law, it's getting dark, when shall we go camping?"

"That's right! Brother, there's a small dirt slope in front of us, why don't we camp there tonight?"

From the obsession with the delicious fish meal when we set off, to how to eat the other half of the fish, to how many fish will be caught along the way in the future, until now, the two snacks began to be a little impatient. Finally, in the Under Zhou Baoyu's instigation, Qin Fang urged to camp as soon as possible, and Zhou Baoyu dared to follow closely.

Just because they both wanted to go fishing right away.

Of course Zhang Qingshan wanted to do the same, but looking at the sky, the sun hadn't set yet.Take out the pocket watch and look again, yes!It was only 43:[-] in the afternoon, at least one hour before the usual camping time.

Looking back at the two of them, he said, "The sun hasn't set yet, why are you so anxious?"

"I'm afraid that when the sun goes down, I won't be able to find such a good camping place there."

"If you can't find a dry place to camp tonight, you can stand on guard overnight."

Zhou Baoyu didn't dare to answer the words.

Zhang Qingshan let the two of them go, and when he turned his head, he subconsciously glanced at Zhou Ping, who was three meters away on the left. care.

A group of people slowly passed through the small dry ground and continued to move forward.

After walking for another hour, watching the sunset, under Qin Fang's urging again, Zhang Qingshan decided to find a place to camp.

However, taking advantage of Zhou Baoyu's auspicious words, and handing the binoculars to Wu Shaohong, who was riding a horse, there was absolutely no dry place where he could camp.

Qin Fang pursed her lips, and complained in what she thought was a very low volume: "Look, I told you, if I knew there was no dry place around here, I should have camped in the place I passed before. If you don't listen, now Well, we have to sleep on the water plants..."

Speaking of this, she gave Zhou Baoyu a wink, and continued: "It's so comfortable to sleep in a dry place, it's better than soaking in water..."

Zhou Baoyu knew that she was telling him to answer the question with this glance, so that he could make preparations for the next time he would try to camp early and fish early.But the problem is, what Zhang Qingshan said just now: If he can't find a dry place, Zhou Baoyu will have to stand on guard all night.Thinking of this, how dare Zhou Baoyu answer?I had to glance at Zhang Qingshan in front of me, then quietly moved closer to Qin Fang, and whispered: "Sister Xiaofang, I beg you, don't say anything, otherwise, if you make big brother angry, he will really Some will keep me on guard overnight."

Because the two people's current relationship has been greatly improved because of fish meat and fishing, it seems to be on the same front, so Qin Fang opened his mouth, but finally, for the sake of his comrades in arms, he didn't open his mouth again.

Zhang Qingshan bent down and picked up a thin dead branch about half a meter long, broke it into three sections, and held it in his hand.I thought that since I would spend the night on the water and grass in all likelihood, I would just go further and see if there was a dry place.

So, he pretended not to hear Qin Fang's words and continued walking.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhou Ping said indifferently: "Old Zhang, why don't you find a place with lush aquatic plants to spend the night near here today?"

Zhou Ping can be said to be the calmest one in the team. He never expresses his opinion on where to camp on weekdays, let alone propose where to camp. This is the first time.

Zhang Qingshan turned his head to look at him in surprise, but saw Zhou Ping frowned slightly, looked over with a stern face, and even blinked his eyes deliberately, Zhang Qingshan immediately understood: Zhou Ping has something important to discuss with him—if it is a small matter, Zhou Ping had already asked bluntly.

"Okay!" Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile, turned to Wu Shaohong and said, "Old Wu, look around and see if there is a suitable camping place around here."

Under Wu Shaohong's guidance, the few people soon came to a relatively stable place with lush grass.

Maybe it was too much anticipation, or maybe it was too impatient to wait.No, as soon as Zhang Qingshan pointed to the place and said that he would camp here, Zhou Baoyu and Qin Fang cheered, and immediately took out the fishing gear, and they looked around desperately to see where there were fish.

Because there is no thick soil like the dry place below, so this time, instead of digging a small fire kiln, I just flattened a lush aquatic plant and lit a fire on it...

Zhang Qingshan thought to ask Zhou Ping what's the matter after eating, but before he could cut the fish, Zhou Baoyu and Qin Fang ran over yelling, one said that there was a fish, The other begged Zhang Qingshan, asking him to help set up fishing gear.

"You know it yourself, why do you need me to help?" Zhang Qingshan looked at the two of them suspiciously and asked.Unexpectedly, Qin Fang said directly: "Brother-in-law, you are more lucky. We are afraid that we will not be able to catch fish with the fishing gear we set up."

Afterwards, regardless of whether Zhang Qingshan agreed or not, the two dragged Zhang Qingshan over there even after begging.

However, once Zhang Qingshan got everything done, the two snacks left him alone, and squatted by the puddle, watching intently, expecting, not even daring to speak.

Zhang Qingshan could only helplessly shake his head, turned around and continued to help with the cooking.

"Old Zhou, did you have anything to do before?"

"There is something." Zhou Ping pondered for a moment, then shook his head calmly and said, "However, I haven't figured it out yet... When the two of them come back, let's have a meeting and discuss it together. After all, we are a small group."

Zhang Qingshan didn't ask anymore.

Luck is something that always comes in handy.

No, Qin Fang and Zhou Baoyu waited for a long time, until Zhang Qingshan called them to come back for dinner, but none of them took the bait.

Zhou Baoyu was a little depressed, but Qin Fang, as a young lady, didn't think that if she didn't catch it this time, it meant she would never catch it in the future, so she kept comforting Zhou Baoyu as she walked back.I don't know what she said, anyway, after Zhou Baoyu came back, his face looked much better.It demonstrates Qin Fang's good skills as a nurse - comforting and persuading patients is the most basic eloquence of every nurse.

Because of the experience in the morning, this time, Zhang Qingshan was extra careful and deliberately cut the half fish into ten pieces.

When scooping up food for everyone, he and Zhou Ping shared a piece of food, and the rest each had two yuan. Moreover, he frightened Qin Fang and Zhou Baoyu with a straight face so that they would not dare not take the bowl.Qin Fang was still lively, but Zhou Baoyu probably felt a little unhappy that he hadn't caught any fish after watching for a long time, so he talked a lot less.

But Zhang Qingshan and others didn't persuade him, because everyone came here like this: there are some things that others can't help, you have to overcome it yourself, otherwise, if you really have to protect him for a long time, when will he be able to fly as a baby bird? Go to the blue sky, soar the world?

After eating and tidying up everything, Zhang Qingshan purposely gathered everyone together to hold a meeting around the still hot fire.

After giving the three adults a round of cigarettes, Zhang Qingshan lit the cigarette in his hand, took a puff, and asked with a smile: "Old Zhou, I see that you were cheerful when you first set off today. On the way down, I always had a sad face. Tell me, why?"

Zhou Ping took a puff of cigarette, and in the smoke he exhaled slowly, he saw that everyone was looking at him, and then he said slowly: "I'm afraid we have gone the wrong way and deviated from the direction of the large army."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled, but immediately thought that Zhou Ping was joking, and all smiled.But seeing Zhou Ping still looking over with a solemn face, everyone put away the smiles they just showed, and began to take this topic seriously in their hearts.

"Old Zhou, it seems impossible?" Zhang Qingshan thought for a while and asked: "Every night, I will use the method of three points and one line, with the help of Venus, to make a mark. Go straight according to this mark. Moreover, I use the sun to identify the direction from time to time on the road. Ordinarily, there should be no major mistakes. Even if there are, it is only a short distance on the road, and there should be no mistakes in the general direction. "

"No! Lao Zhang, I don't mean that we are going in the wrong direction, but that the specific direction we are going may be different from the specific direction that the main force is going..." Zhou Ping paused for a moment when he said this , looked at Zhang Qingshan, and showed a wry smile: "In such a large place, as long as the specific direction deviates a little, on the ground, the deviation must be at least tens of miles."

"Old Zhou, I still don't understand, please be more specific."

It is rare for Zhou Baoyu to intervene in this kind of meeting. Zhou Ping also wanted to explain to everyone in detail, and said: "For example: we all think that we should go to the northwest, right? But the northwest also has an angle. For example Say, if the large army is walking at an angle of fifteen degrees to the northwest, and we are walking at an angle of twenty degrees to the northwest, the difference between the two sides will be five degrees. In that case, because of the deviation of the angle, we will follow the The larger the troop strayed farther and farther away. Even when we finally walked out of the grass, we might meet hundreds of miles away."

"Old Zhou, what is an angle?"

Zhou Ping glared at Zhou Baoyu fiercely, said the words again from the beginning, cooperated with gestures, and finally took a few twigs to explain in more detail. In the end, it made everyone understand, and there was some confusion. In a hurry.

"Old Zhou, do you know exactly which angle the main force is going?"

Zhou Ping was in a hurry. The first time he explained to Zhou Baoyu, he wanted everyone to understand, but this second time, he became a little impatient.He gave Zhou Baoyu a blank look, and said, "If I want to know, do I still need to discuss it with you?"

"Then how can you be sure that we are going astray from the main force?"

This is a serious question, everyone looks at Zhou Ping, waiting for his explanation.

"It's very simple. First of all, it is said that cow dung and dead branches are scarce on this road. If the large troops pass here first, they will leave them for us? Also, the large troops should have almost run out of food, but you didn't find out. , after the few of us meet up, there are a lot of wild vegetables along the way, almost as many as we need to pick. If a large army walks here, how many can be left for us? What's more, I paid special attention to it today, The wild vegetables are almost never cut off, that is to say, basically no one walks in front of us."

As soon as Zhou Ping finished speaking, Qin Fang immediately revealed another discovery...
