Chapter 189 Going to the Sacrifice
After a sleepless night, the wolves did not attack the vegetable cellar tonight, until the next morning when the snow gradually stopped and the sky became clear, Lin Yi knew that the wolves did not dare to come.

Deputy squad leader Zhu was surprised when he saw Lin Yi staying at the guard post on the second floor all night, "Platoon leader, didn't you sleep all night?"

Lin Yi waved his hand, "Let's not talk about it, are all the sacrificial supplies ready?"

Deputy squad leader Zhu quickly responded: "All preparations are complete, platoon leader, when do you think we are going to leave?"

It is generally more appropriate to pay homage to the ancestors at noon. There is a saying that it is because the sun is strong at that time. In fact, as an atheist, Lin Yi naturally does not believe this statement.

But there are many things, you don’t have to believe it, but it’s better to be respectful, Lin Yi looked at Vice Squad Leader Zhu, "How long will it take us to get there?"

Deputy Squad Leader Zhu saw that the sun had cleared outside, so he calculated, "Generally, the weather will take about two hours, but today it cleared up. In addition, we can take the National Defense Highway. If we march at a normal speed, it will take about an hour and a half."

Lin Yi looked at his watch. It was only after eight o'clock, and it was still early. "Let's prepare for the departure at 09:30, and arrive at the place in an hour and a half. Let's sweep the grave first."

Although BJ time is used in this area, the local time is two hours behind BJ time, so even if Lin Yi and the others arrive at the place at eleven o'clock, for the leaders of the regiment headquarters, it is estimated that they have just set off, so Completely in time.

As Lin Yi was the highest leader of the outpost, his words were naturally orders, and Deputy Squad Leader Zhu immediately followed suit and began to prepare for duty.

Soon after 09:30, Deputy Squad Leader Zhu brought all his belongings, and Lin Yi also took a pack of thousand paper cranes and paper flower bouquets and set foot on the National Defense Highway.

Because the heavy snow had just stopped, and it had not been blown by strong winds, the snow at this time was quite soft. As Deputy Squad Leader Zhu walked, he gathered a ball of snow from the snowdrift next to him, stuffed it into his mouth and slowly Chew up.

Lin Yi watched the others do the same, and was a little surprised, "Are you thirsty after walking for an hour?"

Deputy Squad Leader Zhu said with a smile: "Platoon Leader, you haven't been here for long, so I don't know, this kind of snow that has not been blown by strong winds tastes soft, and we like it very much. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Lin Yi dubiously rolled a ball of snow from the ground, then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed slowly, not to mention, compared to the hard snow that he usually eats, this is really soft.

Lin Yi took two bites and smacked his mouth, "It would be great if I could add some sugar."

Deputy squad leader Zhu heard this and said with a smile: "Does the platoon leader want to eat shaved ice? If you want to eat it, go back and ask Lao Wu to make some for you. It just happens that the snow that just fell today can be used directly. It tastes absolutely delicious."

Hey, Lin Yi didn't expect them to eat snow and eat tricks, and he felt a little bit of bitterness, "Okay, go back and ask Lao Wu to show us his hands, and I will also taste the taste of shaved ice made from the newly fallen snow how."

The crowd walked on the snowballs, and soon arrived at a place only two kilometers away from the tombstone. This place is a seasonal patrol point. Because the road is extremely difficult to walk, the National Defense Highway has not been repaired.

This time it was replaced by Deputy Squad Leader Zhu as the leader, because the road here is more difficult to walk, and this point is not a patrol point in winter, so since it snowed in winter, no one has walked this road at all, yes It is impossible to tell whether a pit is a hollow or a veteran.

But even though Deputy Squad Leader Zhu has walked here many times, after walking more than 500 meters, he accidentally fell down.

When the snow-covered person was helped up by everyone, Lin Yi said: "My physical fitness is not bad, why don't I be the leader, and when I'm about to fall, I can react in time so that I don't fall completely." The face is snow."

Unexpectedly, Deputy Squad Leader Zhu, who has always been obedient, directly refused, "No, I want to be the leader. Comrade Li walked down these places step by step. Five or sixty years ago, in the era when there were only cotton coats and cotton shoes, Li Comrades can patrol here. Now that our equipment is so good, can I still be afraid of falling?

Besides, now I have a fall, and I have knee pads, elbow pads and other equipment to protect me, so I didn't get hurt at all.But when the equipment was lacking, he didn’t know how many falls and injuries he suffered, and he still didn’t complain at all. I have to learn from Comrade Li, and I must be the first to walk to his tomb. "

Lin Yi didn't make a sound when he heard what Deputy Squad Leader Zhu said. He just walked behind Deputy Squad Leader Zhu and gave him the front seat.

Deputy Squad Leader Zhu fell seven or eight times along the way, and every time he fell, he immediately got up and continued walking, as if he had never fallen.

Lin Yi knew that Vice Squad Leader Zhu had a strong faith now, so he had already forgotten the pain.

It is more accurate to say that with a strong belief, even if Vice Squad Leader Zhu suffers from pain, he can greatly simplify the pain.

But Lin Yi knew that this was only temporary, after sweeping the tomb and his beliefs were not so strong, his body would start to ache.

Don’t look at the complete equipment everyone is wearing, but the exposed rocks here are quite painful, and it’s okay to fall on the snow. Once you fall on the rocks, there will always be places that will be smashed red, purple, or even broken. After being exposed to the cold, the wound will immediately turn into chilblain, and it will not heal all winter. It hurts as soon as it is touched, and the feeling is not to mention uncomfortable.

After Deputy Squad Leader Zhu staggered to lead the team to the tomb, Lin Yi shouted: "Others clean up the snow from the tomb, Deputy Squad Leader Zhu, come here."

Vice squad leader Zhu still wanted to clean the snow from the grave, but seeing Lin Yi's serious eyes, he could only follow Lin Yi to the side first.

Lin Yi pointed to a relatively flat rock next to him, "Sit down."

Vice-squad leader Zhu didn't know why, but he did it anyway. Lin Yi grabbed Vice-squad leader Zhu's leg and scanned it with medical skills. Sure enough, he saw that the calf had been knocked purple, but fortunately, there was no wound or bleeding.

Through the warm pants, Lin Yi slowly rubbed the bruised part for Deputy Squad Leader Zhu. At first, Deputy Squad Leader Zhu couldn't bear the pain, but within a minute, the calf became uncomfortably comfortable, and the pain completely disappeared.

Lin Yi saw that Vice Squad Leader Zhu's complexion turned better, but he didn't expect that three points of medical skills would be so effective. He said, "Now I'm outside, and I can't apply safflower oil to you. After returning to the post, I will give you a good massage."

Vice squad leader Zhu was a little bit sorry, "No need, this little injury is nothing, if you don't believe me, I'll pull the trouser leg to show you, it's not an injury at all."

Lin Yi clicked his tongue, "If you don't want the wound to become frostbite, you can just fish it out. Have you forgotten the itchy and painful feeling of frostbite? Could it be that you still want to experience it?"
