Chapter 672 Tricks
"Many people are willing to go, but they don't know what to do. They are afraid that there will be fraud." Liu Bin said, "free food and lodging, and also taught to read and write, this is great."

This is not like men going out to work as laborers and soldiers, working hard for money, everyone knows it clearly.

Anomaly is a demon, there is no pie in the sky, and the common people understand this truth, not to mention sending their own flesh and blood to a strange place, it is definitely not just advocating how good the school conditions are and how promising the children are.

So far, only four children have been taken in in the village, one is a real orphan, and the others are too poor to raise.

"Let them go to Fangcao to take a look." Liu Bin said, "They will definitely be willing to..."

Liu Dazhu snorted: "You really don't know how expensive the rice is if you are not in charge of the family. If one household sends one to Lingao, there will be more than 30 people. Even if they are allowed to walk, do they need money for food, drink and lodging along the way? Besides, are people willing to go? Woolen cloth?"

"How to do it?"

Wang Wu said: "Director Dong said in class: the first thing to do in rural work is to gain the trust of the people, and the second is to gain the trust of the people. People are still skeptical about us, so we will put a lot of effort into it for the time being, so as not to let us down. Doubtful."

Liu Dazhu said: "I don't think there is any need to be verbose. Isn't it necessary to send children? Let's talk to Captain Liu and send young children according to households."

Wang Wuyi was stunned and said: "This is really new. If you do it like this, the common people will not be scared to death."

While they were talking, in the bushes outside the camp, several people were watching the lights in the camp.

Zhaopu Village is a desolate small mountain village with no large public buildings—and there are no rich people like landlords in this village. The houses are all made of bamboo walls and thatched roofs, which not only cannot accommodate extra people, but are also very unhygienic.The Task Force is of course trying to avoid it.

They lived in camps they built themselves.

Earth barriers, barbed wire, ditches and watchtowers.All the facilities that a standard field camp should have are available, but they are specific.

The work team and the guards lined up in standard army tents. This kind of dark green coarse cloth tent painted with persimmon paint has three types of large, medium and small, and there are also special functional tents, which are complete in variety and easy to use.

The lanterns and torches on the mounds were brightly lit, and those who stayed in the bushes could see the whole camp clearly.But again, the lighting made it difficult to get around the campsite.

"Security is very strict." Gou Er said disappointedly.

Xin Nari said: "The camp of the Kun bandits is always very heavily guarded. I'm afraid it will be impossible to steal the camp and rob the village."

The best way to deal with this kind of enemy is fire attack: launch a lot of rockets, wait for the camp to be set on fire, and then attack in disorder.But this is in the past.Both Gou Er and Xin had fought against the elders that day, and they knew that the traditional methods would not work very well against the thieves.Their guns shoot much farther than bows and arrows. As long as the archers start shooting arrows, they will be chased away by random guns, and it is impossible to send people close to set fire.No one wants to crawl across an open field with a kindling in the light of the lights—it's just death for nothing.

"I counted them, and there are more than 30 of them. They all have bird guns." Xin Nari whispered, "We may not be their opponents if we all come here."

The bandits have no military literacy, and they can fight with the wind. Once they encounter resolute resistance, they are not easy to persevere. They will collapse after a slight setback. It is hard to expect them to fight with all their strength.

Gou Xunli gritted his teeth and watched for a long time, feeling unwilling, but he knew that what Xin said that day was right.Although there were only more than 30 people in this camp, it was an iron walnut that they couldn't bite open.

"Snakes can't do without heads!" Gou Xunli said viciously, "They can't stay in the camp all day! You can see the faces of the leaders!"

They lay in ambush for several days, but they still couldn't find a suitable opportunity to attack.The work team is basically active in the village, and sometimes wanders around the village. Every time they come out for activities, there are at least five people, all of whom are fully armed.And never stray far from camp.

No matter where you fight, as long as there is a movement, the bandits in the camp will come out to reinforce, and you will not be able to please yourself.

"Isn't there no way to say that?" Hu Lanyan said disappointedly.

"I have a solution, just need internal support." Gou Xunli said, "It will cost some money."

When Hu Lanyan heard that he was going to spend money before things were done, he couldn't help feeling a little nauseous.Bandits don't like to do things without real money.

"Brother! It's fine if we provoke the thief—if I don't kill him, he will kill me. It's just a business that costs money and has no income. It's really a loss."

Gou Xunli said: "Brother, the thief is the guy who wants us to eat!"

The guy who has nothing to eat is cheap even if he is rich in the world.Hu Lanyan sighed: "I understand this truth! Oh! How much money will it cost?"

"Not much, ten taels is enough."

Gou Xunli first bought a villager in Zhaopu Village with a few taels of silver and asked him to keep an eye on the movements of the bandits.The two parties meet outside the village at night.Gou Xunli was interested in hearing about trivial matters.

What Gou Xunli wanted to figure out was the activity pattern of the Kun bandit task force, so as to find an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Gou Xunli's eyes lit up when he heard that the team's vegetables were purchased from the village every day.

"Who did you buy the food from?"

At noon the next day, the camp opened normally.

Rice is being cooked in the camping pot, and the unique aroma of brown rice permeates the slightly humid air.Next to it is a pot, in which "comprehensive soup" is tumbling.

The comprehensive thick soup is made with the No. 11 ration of grass rations - "instant soup cubes". According to the regulations, the troops can add "safe food" that can be collected locally to the soup: including poultry meat, water products, poultry eggs and vegetables.Especially for vegetables, the dehydrated and dried vegetable manufacturing technology of the Crossing Group is not up to standard. As for the production batch of glass cans is very small, it cannot be distributed to the frontline troops.The main problem with grass rations is that they are high in calories but not enough in vitamins, which must be supplemented with locally collected vegetables.

The first batch of soldiers to eat lined up. They took out galvanized tin lunch boxes from their backpacks, talking and laughing while waiting for the food to be distributed.

According to the food rules of the Fubo army: enough food, eat as much as you can.There is only one scoop of mixed bisque.

"There are eggs in it today." Someone saw plumeria flowers floating on it.

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

"This place is so poor that you can't even buy a chicken or a duck."

The soldiers talked as if they had forgotten that not long ago they were similar to the villagers here.

A soldier sat down and took a bite, frowning: "What is so bitter?"

"It's bitter melon." Another soldier scooped up a piece of turquoise melon from his soup.

"Can this thing make soup?"

"Whoever is dissatisfied can not eat." Huotou Jun said arrogantly, "I don't have enough here."

Complaints are complaints, but we still have to eat.

After lunch, the work team sent several people to the village to continue working.Most of the soldiers shrank back to the camp to engage in political studies—the temperature was high in the afternoon, and physical activities were generally not arranged.

Wang Wu and Liu Dazhu are still writing the report—their education level is not high, and it is very difficult to write the report. Not only do they write slowly, but they also have to think for a long time to express it correctly.The lunch brought to the table was completely out of heat.

Suddenly a corporal ran in: "It's not good! Everyone has a fever!"

Wang Wu and Liu Dazhu were taken aback.Sha in summer is fatal!Liu Dazhu said: "Let's go and have a look!"

More than a dozen people had fallen down on the road and open space between the tents in the camp. Some were vomiting heavily, some were holding their stomachs and moaning with pale faces, and some couldn't move anymore, and their bodies were still twitching from time to time.Wang Wu smelled a bad smell.He found that several people had diarrhea to the point where they could not go to the toilet in time.

"Where's the hygienist?"

"Hygienist!"

The corporal yelled to find someone, and it took a while to help the hygienist who was holding his stomach.It looked like he was sick too.

Liu Dazhu said anxiously: "Hurry up and take medicine for everyone! Oh, where is your medicine box? What medicine do you take? I'll get it!"

"It's useless...this...it's not a fever." The hygienist said with a miserable expression, panting, "We ate unclean things..."

"Tell those who haven't eaten to stop eating, and throw them all away." Liu Dazhu ordered while taking care of him, "Call everyone back, and send them to Danzhou on a stretcher!"

But they couldn't go anymore. Among the 35 people, 21 had severe symptoms, and the rest also had symptoms of abdominal pain and diarrhea. Only five or six people who had no food were completely fine.Even if the work team abandons the camp and retreats, there will not be so many people to carry the stretcher.

"Please help the people in the village." Liu Bin said, "The road is not easy to walk, and it takes at least four people to carry a stretcher."

Liu Dazhu nodded: "I'll go find someone right away."

As he said that, he left the camp and went to the village alone——he never came back.

Wang Wu was returning to the tent and was busy packing his documents and bags, when there was a commotion outside, and a rush of "emergency return to the team" drums rang.Liu Dazhu was startled: This is the signal of the enemy's attack!
The corporal rushed in again and said, "There are many people coming from outside! They are all armed with knives and guns!"

Wang Wu walked out of the tent, climbed up the embankment and took a look. In the surrounding bushes and on the top of the hill, there were vaguely shaking figures.The knives and guns flashed from time to time in the sun.

Obviously this group of people has bad intentions.They are slowly approaching by using the bushes and grass.

"It's time to get down!" Wang Wu said something he learned from the Australians, "Quick! Everyone who can move gets on the embankment!"

In order to delay the time, he picked up the tin trumpet used for publicity and shouted loudly: "We are the Australian task force from Lingao, and we are here to deliver medical treatment and medicine to the local people! We have no ill intentions towards the people of Danzhou! Who are you?"
