march to victory

"Lao Zhou, slow down, no one will grab you!"

"I only ate a little for dinner, it's gone long ago, I'm so hungry..."

Lao Wang quit immediately.

"Old Zhou, you still ate some, but I didn't drink a sip of the soup. You have the face to tell me this? Also, this wild vegetable is mine, so don't grab it from me...Old Zhang, don't you Move around, be careful to let the fire light leak out."

"Damn it, I didn't expect that boiled fish bones with wild vegetables would be so delicious...Old Wang, you used to only eat fish bones. It seems that your old problem is really serious."

"That's awesome! I'm hungry."

At this time, there is no need for everyone to hide it, anyway, everyone knows what the so-called old problem is all about.Besides, it's just the three of them here, so it's okay to talk about it.

Soon, the jug that had been cut in half was empty, not to mention the soup, even the fish bones were chewed up and swallowed by the three of them.

Zhang Qingshan, who was lying on the grass, said to Zhou Ping beside him while picking his teeth with his fingernails: "Old Zhou, have you cured your old problem?"

"Well! It's cured today, and we have to continue tomorrow." As he said, he touched Lao Wang who was also lying beside him with his hand, and said, "Old Wang, catch a few more fish tonight, and then I will find more fish." Come on, let's continue tomorrow night... I'm starting to fantasize about tomorrow night's meal now. Think about it, I don't even want to eat tomorrow's dinner, just wait for it... This will definitely be enough to eat a few more meals. Cure the old bug. Hey! Hey!"

As he was talking, Zhou Ping took the lead in laughing, causing the two people around him to laugh too.

After resting for a while, the three of them worked together, cleaned up and went back.

No one said anything about secrecy, because it was unnecessary.The three of them had already reached a tacit understanding: with this meal, everyone will definitely continue tomorrow night, and they will definitely not go to dinner... There are some things, some secrets, as long as everyone knows it well, it is meaningless to say it.

The next day, as Zhou Ping said last night, there was no top food in the meals of the wounded and sick, but there was a little more oil in the meals of ordinary soldiers.Naturally, the soldiers had no objection to this. Instead, they discussed one thing excitedly while eating: it will take a few days before they can successfully walk out of this piece of water and grassland, which means the victory of their long march is over.

In this regard, Zhang Qingshan and other leaders saw that there was no way to stop it, but everyone burst out with such enthusiasm, so they simply joined in.However, one thing must be enforced: none of us can tell the truth.The precaution is that if the comrades have not gone out by then, the comrades will be disappointed and their morale will be greatly hit.So, it's better to chat with others first.

After breakfast, the team continued to set off.

At about ten o'clock, a makeshift procession of sixteen stragglers was encountered.

Upon inquiry, I learned that they had been behind for more than a day.

This news at this time, for everyone... To be honest, it really feels a bit tasteless!

Originally, chasing and reuniting with the large army was what everyone had been looking forward to.However, at this moment, everyone knew that it was only a few days before they walked out of the aquatic grass field, and it would be a bit worthless to adjust their direction to catch up with the large army now.The point is, everyone has run out of food and is exhausted. It is good to save a step at this time.If you change direction, it means walking a lot more.At the same time, it also means that there will be some avoidable troubles due to physical strength and food problems.

However, Zhang Qingshan called all the party members together for a meeting.

After some discussion, Zhang Qingshan gave an order: stop chasing the large troops for the time being, and continue to follow the predetermined route.

There are two reasons: one is the food problem: when there is no food, everyone lives on wild vegetables.At this time, adjust the route to catch up with the large army. Let alone the problem of increasing the burden on the large army after catching up, the amount of wild vegetables collected by everyone along the way will definitely be greatly affected.After all, there are so many people in the army, walking all the way, collecting all the way, if you follow the same path, what wild vegetables can you collect?No food, no physical strength, how can you catch up with the big troops?

The second reason is: no need!

There are only a few days left, there is no need to take the danger that may appear to chase after the big troops, you know, this is a dangerous water and grassland everywhere, and every meter of distance is one meter more risk, not to mention, Physical strength is a big problem.You can wait until you get out of the water and grassland, see the people, get supplements and rest, and then join the big army when you have enough energy... Previously, I was so looking forward to catching up with the big army. First, I was eager to join the big army. The second is that it is too dangerous to walk alone in this murderous water grass field, just like when only Zhang Qingshan and the others walked on the water grass field, they had to tie ropes to each other to be safe and rescue them. Timely, but now that there are more people, everyone takes care of each other at any time, and there is no need to tie ropes to each other to ensure safety.This shows that it is safe to walk on water and grass.

When the team went all the way to dusk, their luck was a little bit better than yesterday. Although they found a small slope to camp, the small slope was too small to accommodate the wounded and sick. Therefore, most comrades still had to find Rest on relatively lush aquatic plants.

However, Zhang Qingshan keenly discovered a problem that made him very helpless: the day before yesterday he received five teams that fell behind, yesterday he met two teams, but today he met only one team.It seems that it is really a bit deviated from the main force, otherwise, this situation will never happen, and it will only make more and more stragglers encountered.

However, since it was passed at the party meeting, there is no need to say more, and everyone just walks in the predetermined direction.

"Brother! Come, eat."

Zhang Qingshan looked back, but saw Zhou Baoyu and Xiang Tao.

After receiving a bowl full of wild vegetables and almost bottomless soup from Zhou Baoyu, Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but think of last night's "Supper" in his mind, and immediately lost the intention to use chopsticks to eat, but he didn't treat him well The two of them explained that they had no choice but to hold it in their hands and watch them eat.

"Brother, why don't you eat?"

"No appetite, eat later."

"Oh!"

After Zhou Baoyu answered, he lowered his head and ate wild vegetables.

After taking a few mouthfuls, he tentatively asked, "Brother, do you think this wild vegetable is getting more and more unpalatable?"

Where is wild vegetables becoming more and more unpalatable, but that the various functions of the human body cannot keep up with physical exertion, and the demand for nutrition is becoming more and more urgent, so it will be reflected in the mouth, making people feel that the wild vegetables are getting worse and worse. unpalatable.

Zhang Qingshan smiled, but Xiang Tao said, "It's not that the wild vegetables are becoming more and more unpalatable. The main reason is that there is no oil. If you put some oil, even the unpalatable wild vegetables will be delicious."

"No matter how delicious it is, I don't want to eat it..." Zhou Baoyu put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and pulled up his clothes, revealing his round belly, and said, "Look, my stomach is full of water. It looks like a water hyacinth, and it makes a loud noise when shaken."

He pulled off his clothes again, sat down, picked up the bowl, and said, "No matter how much you eat this wild vegetable, you won't be full, but if you don't eat it, you'll be so hungry."

"This is still the reason why there is no oil and water at the bottom."

After Zhou Baoyu glanced at Xiang Tao, he turned to Zhang Qingshan and said, "Brother, it's really uncomfortable to be hungry on such a day, can I ask a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"Brother, how many days will it take for us to get out of this water grass field?"

Speaking of this, Xiang Tao stopped interrupting, but listened with his ears.

"I can't say for sure, but I guess it will be within a few days... But you must keep this issue secret, and you are not allowed to speak out, so as not to affect morale."

"Don't worry, brother, I know the principle of confidentiality."

Zhang Qingshan put the bowl on the ground with a smile, and said to them, "I don't have an appetite, you can share this bowl of food... I'm going to do some business over there, and you can eat here."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qingshan strode away without waiting for the two of them to react.Because he suddenly thought of an interesting thing: Old Wang used the excuse that the fish bones could be used as fishhooks after being boiled for a long time as an excuse to ask the sick and wounded for fish bones. So, is he still using this as an excuse today?If someone finds out, what should he say... All kinds of guesses, the more interesting they become, Zhang Qingshan can't wait to see what happened and know the answer.

When we came to the campsite of the medical team, we saw Lao Wang standing in front of two pots from a distance, waving a long spoon like a big blade, and could vaguely hear him yelling "fish bones", "healing diseases", "earth work". Son" words.

Zhang Qingshan was more interested, but before he walked in, he saw Qin Fang running over.

Zhang Qingshan was about to say hello with a smile, but Qin Fang glanced left and right like a thief, and asked secretly: "Brother-in-law, I want to ask you something, you must tell me honestly?"

"what's up?"

"In your hometown, there are really fish bones that are dried and ground into powder to treat abscesses on the feet?"

have to!Adding these words together with the vaguely audible words that Old Wang yelled earlier, if Zhang Qingshan can't guess what excuse Old Wang used to collect fish bones this time, it would be a waste of time.

However, Zhang Qingshan is also one of the secrecy elements, so he will naturally help Lao Wang lie.

Pretending to be contemplative, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Qin Fang who was looking over with wide-eyed eyes. To be honest, Zhang Qingshan really didn’t want to lie to her, but thinking about Lao Wang’s intention of doing this and the original intention of setting out, he still Nodding firmly, he said, "I don't remember clearly, but there seems to be such a local recipe... By the way, Xiaofang, how did you know this?"

"Old Wang came to collect fish bones every day. At first I didn't care, but when I asked him later, he said he used fish bones as fishing hooks. I didn't think much about it. But when I asked him again today, he said that the fish bones were dried and then ground. It can be made into powder, which can cure abscesses on the feet. I have never heard of this method, but he said that you taught him. If I don’t believe it, I will ask you. So I will ask, if it is true Yes, I also want to collect some fish bones... Although no one has abscesses on their feet now, they are not afraid of ten thousand or just in case, and there is no harm in preparing more at ordinary times."

This is a lie, how can you let us fight for fish bones with the three of us?

Zhang Qingshan suddenly thought of an excuse, so as to completely dispel Qin Fang's idea.

Fortunately, Zhang Qingshan has always been known for his quick wit...
