Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 296, teacher and student meet

As Yang Laosan talks, it may bring some unnecessary trouble to Lao Liu.

Conversation in the carriage stopped.

So as not to reveal any more secrets.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the carriage was a little dull.

After waiting for a while, everyone turned their attention to the outside of the car, because it was really dark outside.

This time it wasn’t the darkness brought by the sandstorm;

Fang Mei looked outside and suddenly said to the car: "Liu Fangfang, we... we won't die, right?"

Old Liu came back to his senses and comforted him with a smile: "No, these sandstorms usually stop at night. The most serious sandstorms are usually in the morning and evening. At other times, it's just a gust of wind. It’s over.”

When others heard this, they felt unsure.

general.

But can this situation be normal today?

They said it would be over in an hour, but several hours have passed and the wind is still so strong that no one can leave outside.

"Cough~"

While thinking, the person lying on the carriage coughed.

"Xiao Meng, are you okay?"

Upon seeing this, Lao Li hurried over and asked.

It was dark inside the carriage and visibility was very low. It took me a while to touch anyone.

Xiao Meng opened his eyes in a daze and asked quickly in the darkness: "Captain, is it the captain?"

"Yes, here!"

Lao Li quickly held his hand.

Feeling the big hand on his hand, he felt relieved, and the first thing he said was to ask: "Captain, is the Yellow Sheep still there?"

When he was about to fall, he fired a shot. When he saw that a yellow sheep had been killed, he ignored it and chased the rest of the yellow sheep.

As a result, when chasing, he ran too fast, the horse sprained its feet, and fell off.

Lao Li nodded frequently when he heard the words: "Yes, he is, he is, he is on the horse!"

Hearing this, Xiao Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

There he murmured: "That's good, that's good!!"

Then he hesitated and asked: "Captain...Am I...blind?"

If he was carried back, he should be in a health center with lights, but he couldn't see it at this time.

My heart sank.

"Hey! What are you thinking about! With your eyes, what can you see in the dark? We encountered a wind demon after you fell, and we haven't gone back yet!!"

Lao Li smiled and explained the general situation.

Then he smiled and said: "Okay, have a good sleep. When the sandstorm subsides, we will return to the base and send you to the health center as soon as possible."

Xiao Meng felt relieved when he heard the strong wind outside.

It seems like it’s really outside!
"hiss!"

I wanted to move, but it felt like my internal organs were no longer my own, and the pain was severe.

"Okay, stop moving. Get some sleep!"

Lao Li comforted him.

"Cuckoo ~~"

The sound of stomach growling could be heard in the carriage.

Yang Xiaole and his group ate late at the base. Although they were not full, at least their stomachs would not growl so loudly now.

At first glance, it was Lao Li and Xiao Meng whose stomachs were growling.

In the darkness, Lao Liu suddenly asked, "Lao Li, have you finished eating the dry food?"

Lao Li gave a wry smile: "It seemed that it was almost time since we hunted the yellow sheep, so it was time to go back. How could we have imagined that we would encounter the Wind Demon! We finished all the dry food we brought with us at noon."

Hearing this, Old Liu spoke: "Xiao Zheng, give them that steamed bun!"

Zheng Guangrong didn't hesitate when he heard this. He took out a steamed bun from his arms and handed it over gropingly.

Old Liu also fumbled and took it, touched Old Li's hand, and stuffed it in: "You two eat some, and give Xiao Meng some as well. There's only one of you, so we'll make do with it."

"What about you?"

"Something happened today. My meal time was delayed. I ate late. I ate at almost three o'clock. I'm not hungry now. Come on, Xiao Meng needs to eat something."

Hearing this, Lao Liu hesitated for a moment and took the steamed bun over.

The buns have been wrapped in my arms. Although they are not warm, they are not that hard.

I saw him pull off a little bit, feel the darkness and stuff it into Xiao Meng's mouth: "Xiao Meng, eat something, drink some water, hurry up."

Seeing this, Xiao Meng opened his mouth and ate a little.

In the darkness, I ate something and drank some water.

A steamed bun was half eaten by Xiao Meng.

Then I heard Xiao Meng say: "I'm full."

"Why are you full? You're a big guy, how full are you?"

Upon seeing this, Lao Li wanted to continue feeding.

But no matter how much I feed Xiao Meng, I won’t open her mouth.

Lao Li sighed when he saw this, and finally divided the remaining half of the steamed bun with Xiao Sha.

This is enough for what!
Just pad your belly.

"Sigh~~"

In the darkness, everyone was shivering.

"No, it's too cold here, put Xiao Meng in the driving position!"

It was getting colder and colder at night, and with the wind blowing, the temperature dropped a lot, and everyone was freezing.

Lao Liu suggested sending Xiao Meng to the front.

Several people discussed it, agreed, and worked together to lift Xiao Meng to the cab.

After returning, everyone was shivering and huddled together.

The child Yang Xiaole and the old man Lao Liu were placed in the inner circle. In the middle were three people, Fang Mei, and in the outer circle were five people, Lao Li and Lao Liu.

"Hey, I almost forgot!"

Between thoughts.Lao Li suddenly spoke.

I heard him groping there.

"Stab!!"

After a while, there was a sharp sound and a match burned.

I saw a cigarette in Lao Li's mouth, and the match was also close to him.

"Sigh~~"

Lao Li took a sip, and a spark bloomed in the darkness.

"Lao Liu, here, I only have two sticks left, so save yourself some money!!"

This made Lao Liu chuckle: "You still have it! I finished smoking it last month."

Then he happily took the cigarette and took a long puff.

Then there was a pleasant sound.

It seems to be a more enjoyable feeling than a full meal.

In the darkness, Lao Li smiled: "Every time I want to smoke, I take it out, smell it, and then put it back. I've endured it for a long time, and I can't do it without smoking today!"

This was accompanied by the laughter of others.

"Here, Red Army!"

He took a puff and handed the cigarette to Chen Hongjun.

The other party happily took it and took a sip, finally Xiaosha.

Everyone takes turns.

As for Zheng Guangrong, he probably doesn't smoke.

After completing the circle, Lao Li and Lao Liu each took another puff of cigarettes and then died.

But everyone was satisfied for a while.

After finishing his cigarette, Old Liu smiled and said: "Old Li, how is your engineering team doing at Malan Village? They should be able to take over your wife after the Chinese New Year, right?"

Hearing this, Lao Li grinned: "Well, that's almost it. The field department said that the names will be reserved before the year and distributed so that those who come can catch up with the spring planting."

When Lao Liu heard this, he was also happy for a while: "When they come in the future, we will no longer have to rely on the state to support us, and we can be self-reliant."

Yang Xiaole listened there. Lao Li's accent was a bit like He N's, but also a bit like Huizhou's.

It's just that Lao Li's accent is a bit strange.

It's very much like the dialect version of Mandarin.

He couldn't tell the difference for a while.

After chatting for a while, the car fell into immersion, because talking too much will consume energy.

Time passed slowly.

It was slowly reaching midnight, and everyone was shivering in the darkness.

too cold.

Gollum~~
The sound of hunger came.

Not just one person, not just Lao Li and the other engineering team members who were hunting.

But everyone is hungry.

After all, eight or nine hours had passed since Yang Xiaole and the others finished their meal.

Even if you had eaten meat before, you should be hungry at this time, not to mention that these are clear soups with little water, plus one and a half mixed-noodle steamed buns.

They are all hungry.

Some people's stomachs don't growl, but their stomachs hurt when they are hungry.

Yang Laosan was feeling hungry. Looking at the horses snoring outside in the darkness, he thought of something and said:
"Hey, um, Captain Liu, you think you won't be able to go back for a while, why don't we burn that yellow sheep? Let's just eat a little to cushion our stomach!!"

"no!"

"What do you think?"

Lao Li and Lao Liu suddenly spoke together.

Yang Laosan pouted: "What time has it been? We can't let us starve to death. You see, we won't be able to go back for a while."

In the dark, not waiting for anyone else to speak.

Xiaosha said: "Don't say that we are just hungry for one or two meals. Our engineering team's sick patients haven't seen any oil or water for half a year."

Several people understood.

It's not about the engineering team's meals.

It's sick food.

Even the patients haven't seen oil and water for half a year, let alone ordinary people.

These words made Yang Laosan choked and speechless.

Others won't say anything.

"Okay, I'll sleep. I won't be hungry when I sleep."

Yang Laosan muttered, straightened his clothes, and leaned his head on the side of the car.

"Old Liu, please turn on the lights in front of us."

In the darkness, Lao Liu spoke and said to Lao Liu.

"What are you doing?"

Old Liu was confused for a moment, thinking that he was really going to kill the yellow sheep and eat it.

Lao Li smiled when he heard the voice; "What are you thinking! It's okay if we don't want to eat, the horses need to eat! It's already midnight, it's time to feed them something to eat."

Hearing this, Lao Liu smiled.

He shouted into the carriage: "Dongzi, turn on the lights."

He punched the car a few times.

"Boom~~" But after several starts, the car didn't start.

When Lao Liu saw this, his face darkened: "Sorry, the car won't start. It's probably frozen."

In order not to waste gasoline, the car naturally stalled.

As soon as these words came out, Lao Li was silent for a while, then climbed out gropingly.

I heard the rustling sound outside.

Others couldn't see it, but Yang Xiaole saw it. Lao Li was feeding the horse in the dark!

There was some fodder in the cloth bag tied next to the horse, and some fried soybeans were put in the flour bag of one of the horses.

When Xiaosha saw this, he also went down.

The two fed the horses in the cold wind.

After about twenty minutes, the two of them finished feeding the horses and climbed up.

"Here! Give each person a little, not much, just give it a try!"

In the darkness, Lao Li began to give everyone something.

After people received it, they discovered that it was soybeans, which were used to feed horses.

"Lao Li, is this okay?"

Old Liu touched the soybean and asked hesitantly.

"It's okay, I didn't do much, just give it a rest!"

Lao Li said nonchalantly.

It's really not much, just a dozen soybeans per person.

After hearing this, Lao Liu said nothing more, stuffed a soybean in his mouth and chewed it.

When other people heard the sound, they naturally followed and ate there.

Yang Xiaole didn't eat.

He saw clearly just now that when Lao Li fed the horse soybeans, he always let the horse lick the soybeans with saliva on them!
Eating some soybeans was a bit of comfort.

Everyone huddled up in the car and fell asleep again.

Drowsily, the sky became slightly brighter.

It's almost dawn!
“The wind and sand have subsided!!”

Looking at the situation outside, Fang Mei felt excited because she could see into the distance.

Although the wind is still very strong.

Old Liu nodded lightly: "Well, the demon has passed."

Then he frowned: "Sorry, the car is frozen."

Everyone was shivering in the car. It was too cold last night and there were no quilts.

"Drip drip~~"

While thinking, the sound of a car came from outside.

This made Lao Liu excited for a while, and he hurriedly ran out of the car.

After a while, the sound of the car became louder and louder.

Accompanied by Lao Liu's happy voice: "Shunzi! I've waited for you."

Vehicles departing from the bases on both sides are reported, and the communications troops will be contacted. If any vehicle does not return, they must call to confirm.

A young man in beige military uniform got out of the car: "Company Commander, I knew something was wrong with you. The wind demon came yesterday afternoon, so I called the base and said that you had already set off, but the wind and sand were too strong. , there is no way to get out, if the wind subsides we will come over."

Old Liu was happy for a while: "Okay, let's go back first, put the car here, and go back later to get the things."

After saying that, he came to the car and shouted: "Okay, the car to pick us up is here, get in that car."

After hearing this, everyone felt happy and got out of the car one after another.

Lao Li and others also put Xiao Meng in the car.

Although there was no wind and sand, the wind was still strong and everyone felt hungry and cold.

After everyone got in the car, Lao Li said: "You go first, we will be there soon on horseback. I guess we will arrive first!"

Lao Liu smiled and nodded: "Okay, the path you are taking must be fast, so let's go!"

After that, he said hello and got in the car.

Then the car set off.

Kong Dali looked at the car abandoned on the spot and felt strange for a while. It was like a treasure before, so why was it lost now.

"Liu Company Commander, don't you care about this car?"

Lao Liu turned his head and looked at it with a smile: "It's okay. You can't run away if you leave it here, and no one else is coming. It's okay. We'll come back later to get it."

Hearing this, Kong Dali let out a light sigh.

Yes, this is in the wilderness, and this is a controlled area, and everyone passing by is from here.

It really can’t be lost.

Everyone was shivering and rushed to the base in their cars.

About forty minutes later, everyone arrived at the base.

It makes people feel like they are surviving a disaster.

"Du~du~dudu~~"

A sound of horns came on the radio, and the base began to become lively.

Training training.

The car did not take the others first, but directly sent Xiao Meng to the door of the health center.

Everyone worked together to lift Xiao Meng out of the car, but Lao Li didn't see anyone coming.

"Hey, Xiaole!! Why are you here?"

While thinking, a curious voice came from the side, it was the surprised Luo Jinping.

The other person and another person were supporting one of the pale people.

Yang Xiaole stopped helping Xiao Meng and patted his head: "Mom, let him see it. It's over, don't cause trouble for him!"

Then he said with surprise: "Teacher Luo, why are you here?! My aunt said you disappeared suddenly."

After saying that, he looked at the people they were supporting and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Luo Jinping looked at Lao Liu and the others next to him, and said quickly: "A colleague has a stomachache again. Let's take him to the infirmary for a checkup. Let's go in first."

"Huh? Oh, you are busy!"

Yang Xiaole gestured.

The two helped the person into the health center.

And Lao Liu frowned when he heard the conversation between the two of them just now: "You two know each other?"

"We know each other!! He is the class teacher of my elementary school commune!!"

Anyway, the other party will definitely investigate this kind of thing!

There is no need to lie anymore.

At this time, Zheng Guangrong and the others had already sent Xiao Meng to the infirmary.

After a while, the two came back: "Company Commander, the people have been delivered. They will notify the people in the engineering team."

Lao Liu nodded: "Okay, get in the car and go back!"

After speaking, he took the lead to the co-pilot in front.

The others are naturally still in the carriage.

Then the car started.

Yang Xiaole looked at the two eyes staring at him and knew that there would be some questioning and then an examination.

But this review was definitely not asking him, but calling Kyoto.

There will be an investigation result there.

The car took several turns in the base.

"Hey, Lao Li!! Stop the car!"

In the midst of his thoughts, Lao Liu's voice came.

The car also stopped.

Because the car was traveling too fast, Yang Xiaole and others saw the scene outside from behind the car.

I saw Lao Li crawling there, kowtowing in one direction: "My mother! You are unfilial!!"

Xiaosha and two other soldiers were watching with sadness.

Lao Liu walked over and saw this scene. His heart sank and he asked Xiao Sha, "What's going on?"

Xiaosha took a deep breath and said: "We just came back, and the people from the communication company saw us and gave us our letter, saying... that the Xinyang side of the river was hit by a disaster, and the captain was starving to death."

After speaking, he sighed.

After hearing this, Old Liu also took a deep breath.

He came to the side and pulled him up abruptly, comforting him: "Don't be sad."

I saw Lao Li covering his face and choking: "Feng'er wrote a letter saying that before my mother left, she wanted to have a meal of dumplings, but... But before she left, she couldn't eat them either. Feng went to sell them. He exchanged some blood for some meat and flour, but when he came back it was too late. He even said he wanted to see me, but he didn’t even do it!"

As he spoke, he squatted on the ground and covered his face.

Crying like a child.

When Lao Liu heard this, his eyes turned red even if he was used to seeing people living and dying.

This reminded him of his parents back home

But there is no way. There is already a shortage of food here. Even if there is no shortage, there are no food stamps here.

Because it doesn't work.

Yang Xiaole sighed inwardly when he saw this scene in the car.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

Of course he knew about selling blood.

We can’t just sell it, but if we draw 200CC of blood, we will give half a pound of meat as nutrition to replenish the body.

After all, the blood banks at this time were not like those of later generations, where a lot of blood was drawn and the blood carts were abandoned before they even arrived, just to complete the mission.

At this time, there is real ischemia.

In other words, everything is missing.

The N side of the river was one of the hardest-hit places. Even if you have money, you can't buy anything.

"Okay, let's get my sister-in-law and the others over as soon as possible!"

Old Liu hesitated for a moment when he said this: "If you really can't change your job this year, you can go back!"

As soon as he said this, Lao Li shook his head, stood up, calmed down the situation and asked: "Where is Xiao Meng! Is he at the health center?"

"Well, at the health center!"

Lao Li nodded when he heard this: "Then let's go and take a look!"

After speaking, he turned his head and left.

Watching his leaving figure, Old Liu sighed and returned to the car.

Then the car set off back to the small yard before.

"Oh my god, I'm back now, I need to take a nap!!"

After Yang Laosan came down, he stretched.

After getting out of the car, Old Liu told Zheng Guangrong: "After a long night of hard work yesterday, you quickly go to the cooking class to get some ginger soup and give them some to drink to prevent them from catching a cold. You all need to drink it too."

Zheng Guangrong agreed and left directly.

Yang Xiaole smiled when he heard this. How could he catch a cold? The reason why he didn't freeze to death last night was because he added well water to his kettle.

It shouldn't be a cold.

"Yang Xiaole, come with me!"

While thinking, Lao Liu shouted to him with a serious face.

Then he walked towards a house on the side.

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he understood what was going on. He probably wanted to ask about himself and Luo Jinping, otherwise there was nothing else.

Anyway, I have hidden it well enough for so long, and I am not afraid of investigation.

He followed the other party out of the yard.
