Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 651
"You guys, you can go home."

After speaking, there was silence below.

No one moved, no one made a sound, only tears fell quietly.

After fighting together for so long, they lost the election.

Disappointment enveloped my heart, but the joy of returning home grew in my heart again, and for a while there were sorrow and joy.

After Shen Rong left, no one looked at the book, everyone patted each other on the shoulders and walked towards the dormitory.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao and others sat on the stools, and when Shen Rong came in, they all raised their spirits.

Shen Rong smiled, "Congratulations, everyone, congratulations, you have been successfully selected."

Papapa

Shen Rong applauded, and several people applauded after hearing it in their hearts.

"Team Leader Shen, what is the mission, can you say no?"

Chen Chonghan asked, but Shen Rong shook his head.

"I have no right to tell you."

People are disappointed.

"However, what I can tell you is that you will participate in a very honorable and meaningful mission."

"very meaningful."

Everyone was silent, waiting for an explosion in silence.

When Yang Xiaotao and Liu Daming came back, they saw Hou Baowei standing at the door of the dormitory with his luggage.

Behind him, the truck has started.

"Old Liu!"

"Old monkey."

The two hugged each other, Hou Baowei's face was a little bit unwilling and disappointed.

"Mr. Yang."

"Mr. Hou."

The two also hugged.

"You guys have to work hard, and you must win glory for our rolling mill. Out of the six people this time, we accounted for one-third. It's a pity that I don't live up to it."

As Hou Baowei said, Liu Daming patted on the shoulder, "It's okay, we will work hard together with your share. Also, when we go back, report to my family that I'm safe."

"And me, let my wife not worry, take care of the child, I will go back soon."

Yang Xiaotao also hurriedly said that if he knew about it, he would write a letter and ask him to take it back.

"I know, I'll do it if you don't tell me."

"Old Hou, have a good trip."

Liu Daming said, Hou Baowei nodded.

"You guys, come on."

Hou Baowei got on the car, and the others also got on the bike amidst shouts, and slowly drove away from the dormitory building and the factory area.

Watching the car leave, Liu Daming said leisurely, "Hou Liangdao, seriously, he's no worse than Mustache, he shouldn't be at this level!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Everyone has his own aspirations."

"It's good to go back and report that you're safe."

Neither of them spoke, they went back to the house to pack their things, and they were leaving too!
After half an hour.

"Gong Liu, let's go."

Yang Xiaotao got into the car with his luggage, looked at Liu Daming who was still in a daze below, and shouted quickly, the latter got into the car this time.

In the jeep ahead, Shen Rong waved his hand, and the two cars started to move slowly towards the train station.

Half an hour later, Yang Xiaotao and his group of six entered the carriage under the leadership of Shen Rong. There were still four soldiers guarding the front and rear doors, and there was no one else except them and Shen Rong's work team.

So, when the train started, everyone looked for a place to sleep and rest.

Yang Xiaotao took out his book and read it carefully.

They don't know where to go back, and they don't want to ask, because they won't tell if they ask.

They only know that this time they still have to go west, all the way west.

"Squad leader."

"Drawing finished."

On the high mountain, covered with snow, a group of people in army green with cloaks fluttering behind their backs stood neatly in front of the stele.

"Return to the team."

"Yes!"

Through the mask, Xu Long's voice was cold, despite the wind blowing, his body was still upright.

"salute!"

brush~~~
Raise your hands, close your guns, and hold your head high, as if you want to dedicate the most beautiful thing in the world to the stone tablet in front of you.

The two strings of bright red characters on it seemed to flow the blood of the ancestors, bright red and dazzling.

"Libi!"

Xu Long's voice sounded again, and everyone returned to their original state.

"Comrades."

"Tell me about it."

The seven people in front of them suddenly took a rest, their faces were resolute.

"This mountaineering lasted for four hours and twelve minutes. The task was successfully completed."

"However, during the march, some comrades suffered from physical exhaustion. This kind of oxygen-poor environment is still something we should pay attention to in the future."

Xu Long spoke intermittently, and sometimes he needed to take a deep breath to finish speaking, but the people below were still serious.

"Now, all the members form a team and go down the mountain."

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Afterwards, they lined up in a queue, and the group slowly descended the mountain under the leadership of the deputy squad leader.

Xu Long looked back at the opposite side of the mountain, the majestic high mountain and the vast land.

"Good boy, you should come here."

With a low growl, he touched the rocks on the top of the mountain and followed the team slowly down the mountain.

They need to go down the mountain, eat some dry food and then return to the station.

There, it is also the top of the mountain, but the altitude is lower.

At this time in the station, the two were nervously preparing dinner.

After the soldiers on patrol came back, they were cold all over, and what they needed most was to drink some hot water and eat some hot food.

However, even such a simple requirement is difficult to achieve.

At this altitude, the water will boil when it is heated to more than 70 degrees, and it is impossible to effectively kill bacteria in the water.

Water is used to steam rice and stir-fry vegetables, and what is made is also sandwiched raw rice.

So here, pancakes are the most commonly made, and the noodles are soft and pasted on the iron pan, and cooked by heat.

As for other stir-fried dishes, they are also roasted, roasted and baked.

Single ingredients, monotonous cooking, but it is the best food for the people stationed here when they come back.

"Xiao Liu, are you ready to knead the dough?"

An old voice came from below the garrison, and a young baby face in the room came out from the door, hands still dipped in gray flour.

"Old squad leader, I'm already reconciled."

The baby-faced voice was full of Bashu flavor, and the middle-aged man in a military overcoat and carrying a bucket stepped on the steps and walked up slowly.

Babyface hurried out to help, the two put water into the house, and quickly closed the door to prevent the heat from coming out of the house.

"Old squad leader, I'll fetch water from now on."

"You baby, no."

The old squad leader walked to the stove and sat down, rubbing his knees while warming the fire. Obviously, the journey was not easy.

Babyface immediately took down the iron tank on the radiator beside it. The water was a little warm, and the old squad leader took it and drank it casually to warm his stomach.

"What?"

"Why? You, you need to find a clean water source for this water. If you find a wrong source, everyone will have a stomachache if you drink it?"

"I can learn, you just teach me."

"Okay, next time, next time I will take you there."

The old squad leader smiled, but the baby face suddenly changed his attitude, "Forget it. Next time, I will go out with the squad leader to patrol. Let Xiaozhuang stay and cook."

"Hahaha"

"Envy?"

The old squad leader got up while talking, Xiao Liu gritted his teeth, "I'm not envious. Anyway, I'm serving the people and everyone."

"Haha, you're right to think so. We are here not only to cook, but also to guard the garrison. If an enemy appears, we will be the last soldiers."

"Yes, I understand."

"Come on, give me a hand and pour the water into the jar."

Wow

The water was poured into the tank along the bucket, and the old squad leader stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, "It's okay, the room is warm, so don't worry about freezing and cracking."

"It's just beginning to get cold in October, and after a while, the house will freeze."

"I really don't know why you came here, Bashu is so far away, how warm it is, you have come all the way here to suffer this."

The old squad leader liked this baby face who had just been assigned very much, and took him with him whenever he had nothing to do, and personally taught him to let him adapt to life here as soon as possible.

Xiao Liu was not happy, "Old squad leader, the revolutionary enthusiasm is not afraid of any wind, snow and cold. The more difficult the environment, the more able to temper the will of the revolution."

"I am willing to accept the cruelest challenge, to turn myself into a staunch revolutionary, and to contribute everything to the motherland."

The voice of the baby face echoed in the station, and the enthusiasm infected the old squad leader. He nodded in relief, then walked aside, picked up a piece of briquette, "Then, most staunch revolutionary comrades, please put the kettle away, This is an important task."

"Yes, the task is guaranteed to be completed."

"Ha ha"

The two talked and laughed and started to work. There was the sound of howling wind outside the house, and it became colder outside.

"Old squad leader, when will the squad leader come back?"

"almost!"

"According to experience, there are still three hours before returning."

"Xiao Liu, I'll go to pancakes, you go up to stand on guard, and I'll replace you later."

"Good."

After speaking, the old squad leader left to go to the next door, Xiao Liu waved his arms, picked up the gun from the shelf, and quickly boarded the guard tower.

The wind howled, cutting across the face like a knife, the baby face lowered the hat and lifted the mask up.

I felt warm inside with the heater on, but when I came out, I felt blown through and cold all over.

The round face remembered the teaching of the old squad leader, don't stand in one place, but move around, so that the body can adapt to the cold wind and not get frostbite.

As night fell, Xiao Liu took the kettle off the stove and began to pour water into the thermos.

After it was fully filled, Xiao Liu looked at the stove, lifted the lid of the pot, and there was a wave of heat inside.

Around the pan, pancakes have been formed one by one, the layer below the pan has turned gray, but the outer one has turned yellow, and it smells fragrant.

If you want not to burn the pancakes, you need to control the heat.

In this regard, the old squad leader did the best.

The pancakes he made were also the best in the entire company.

Put the lid on the pot, looked at the stove, the coal was reddish, Xiao Liu closed the door.

Glancing at the old squad leader on the sentry tower, he turned around and prepared to boil some more water, so that the squad leader and the others could wash their feet when they came back.

But when he turned around, he suddenly saw a barrel-shaped thing in the corner of the shelf.

He didn't remember what this thing was for, so he walked over to pick it up out of curiosity.

Looking at the handle on the top, there are still traces of fire on the bottom. After observing for a while, I tried to break it hard, and the lid was twisted open, revealing the inner pot inside, and there was also a handwritten note.

The six words at the beginning of the above are the instructions for the pressure cooker.

Xiaoliu went to elementary school when he was in Bashu, and knew some simple characters. Later, because his younger siblings had to go to school, he gave up his studies to work, and later signed up to come here.

A manual, Xiao Liu's first impression is that the person who wrote this manual should be a scholar, or a teacher, otherwise the handwriting will not be so beautiful.

It was this word that aroused Xiao Liu's interest and made him read it slowly.

After reading the whole article, Xiao Liu looked at the line drawn with a horizontal line, "It will cause an explosion if it is not operated properly.

What should be used with care?
Will it explode?

This is not a new type of bomb!
Xiao Liu thought it better not to do it, if it caused trouble, it would be a big deal.

Return the pot to its original position.

Turn around and leave.

However, when going out, Xiao Liu always felt that it was something on his mind, as if he would not be able to fall asleep if he didn't use it, and he would feel like he would have to do everything.

"Isn't it just a pot?"

Xiao Liu wants to try.
