"Another one died last night?"
Vet Hao nodded.
"Buried?"
"Buried."
After He Shuguang left yesterday, Lin Yue gave all the remaining medicine to the old man, but even so, there was still one wounded soldier who did not survive.
Meng Fanlian picked up a blade of grass and held it in his mouth to relieve his boredom: "Master Lin, look at you like this. You didn't sleep all night again last night, right? You are the most diligent among us in the courtyard. With your ability, The spirit is not what a defeated army should be like, it is simply more elite than Yu Xiaoqing's elite."
Vet Hao hit him with his cigarette rod: "What are you talking about?"
"Did I say something wrong? What did the young master say wrong?" Meng Fanle said with his fingers: "You see, snatching the watermelon from Mi Long, hunting birds in front of Yu Xiaoqing, staying up at night and hunting all over the mountains and fields with a gun on his back, and following He Shuguang Those people are called brothers and sisters, and they can even become half of your sons and help take care of the wounded. Where can you find such versatile men in both civil and military affairs?"
Veterinarian Hao said: "Milong says Ayi needs to be improved day by day, but I think you are the one who needs to be improved the most."
"Hey, old man, you've given me a reward."
Lin Yue ignored the two of them and watched the group of people in front disperse over cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli.
Kang Ya went to get salt.
I need hemp to get vegetables.
Yangdanzi looks for green onions.
Snake butt to fetch mountain spring water.
Doubian took over the job of chopping firewood.
A group of people went out noisily.
"You... are you asking me to get pork by myself?"
When A Yi looked over, Meng Fanlai stopped talking. Vet Hao said he had oil there, so he got up and walked to the room where the wounded were placed. Meng Fanlai looked at Lin Yue, quickly got up from the ground, and limped outside. : "I am a vermicelli."
Lin Yue glanced at him, said nothing, and wiped the gun with a rag.
Ayi was very shocked.
The people living in the shelter were either defeated soldiers or wounded. It was impossible for the superiors to arrange for them the treatment of regular soldiers. The small subsidy was exploited at all levels and by the time it was distributed to the food team leader, there was not much left, let alone buying groceries. When weighing the meat, a whole block of salt is not enough.
In short, the defeated soldiers in the shelter are basically in a state of fending for themselves, which is why many of them have already pawned their military uniforms and guns after they have only been here a few months.
Originally, the people at the shelter wanted to choose Meng Fanglia as the leader of the cooking team. They thought he was literate and smart. But this guy didn't want to do it. Because he was smart, he knew that this official position was a hot potato, so Ayi, who had the highest military rank and the best reputation, was promoted.
Yesterday, names were drawn up to join the expeditionary force. Today, I heard the loudspeaker on the street broadcasting the battle situation on the front line. Major Lin, who was full of enthusiasm, felt that his life was about to reach a climax, and then he drifted... until he could not get off the stage.
"Milong, can you... please help me."
"Tch." The Northeastern guy couldn't even shake him.
Ayi stood for a long time with an awkward look on his face, then gritted his teeth and took off the watch his father left for him and handed it over.
Mi Long opened his eyes and took a look: "See what you can do. Why don't you stop pretending? Keep pretending."
"Look at how much this watch can sell for." Ayi begged, "Can you help me?"
Milong spit out the twigs he used to pick his teeth, took the watch and looked at it: "The dial is worn. If I take it to the pawn shop, I will give you an ocean at most." After saying this, he took out two oceans from his pocket and threw them over.
Ayi took the money in his hand and was about to say thank you when a hand pinched his wrist.
"Let go, I told you to let go, why are you... looking for a beating?"
Ayi looked forward and saw that Lin Yue not only grabbed his wrist, but also pulled Milong's arm in front of him. The guy who beat Yaoma, Kang Ya and others until they were all strewn with teeth was unable to pull back. .
"Lin...Lin Yue, what are you doing?"
Lin Yue threw the two pieces of ocean back into Milong's chest, took off the watch and gave it back to Ah Yi.
"Isn't this a relic left by your father to you?"
Ayi looked at the watch in his palm, and then at the foreign money on Milong's chest: "But pork..."
"Follow me." Lin Yue turned around, walked to the side, and kicked Li Wula staggering: "Do you want to eat meat? If you want to eat meat, come over and work."
The guy patted his butt and stood up, followed him out of the shelter without saying a word.
Milong squeezed his eyes and looked at the backs of the three of them before lying back in the hammock and continuing to sleep.
Lin Yue led the two of them out of Zenda City and walked straight to Jiqi Slope.
…
"Lin Yue, we are going to get some pork. Do you want to bring us here to do some hunting?"
Lin Yue picked up a long wooden stick as thick as an arm from the ground and threw it to Li Wula. He pointed at the bushes in front and told Lin Yi: "Remove the branches covering it."
The Shanghai guy glanced at him and walked over to open up the bushes.
"ah……"
Ayi shivered and let out a strange, somewhat effeminate cry.
Li Wula held the stick and walked over and took a look. There was a dark thing lying in the bushes.
"Why are you howling? You've never seen a wild boar?"
"Wild... wild boar?"
Ayi took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his face, and carefully looked at the object in front of him that was still breathing.
A long nose, a big mouth, and a bunch of shiny black hair on the back of the neck.
A wild boar indeed.
Ayi picked up a branch and went over to poke the wild boar on the ground. The thing's four legs and mouth were tied with canes. It just twisted its belly and frightened him to take a big step back.
At this time, Lin Yue walked over and kicked away the surrounding debris.
Li Wula looked at the wound on the wild boar's thigh and swallowed hard. Look at the size of the boar, which weighs more than a hundred kilograms at least. How many days would it take to eat.
"You...you hit me?"
"If I didn't beat you, did you do it?" Lin Yue thrust the stick into the belly of the wild boar: "Why are you standing there dazed? Take it back quickly."
Ayi made a circle and walked to the butt of the wild boar: "I... I'll lift the back, and you lift the front."
"Look at how bear-like you are."
Li Wula straightened her military uniform, walked in front of the pig's head and put a stick on her shoulders. She and Ayi picked up the wild boar and walked down the mountain.
"Lin Yue, your marksmanship is so good."
Ayi was panting from exhaustion, but the smile lines at the corners of his mouth stretched all the way to his face.
After being vegetarian for several months, I cooked a pot of wild goose soup the day before yesterday. There were more than 20 mouths waiting to eat, and each person got a piece of meat that was less than the little finger.
What now?
There is no need to sell the watch, and the face is saved.
No, more than just saving it, how many days can this wild boar last for?
Li Wula said: "You can hunt with good marksmanship? If you throw it into the mountains, you will starve to death."
He is from the Northeast. His hometown is Jinzhou, Liaoning Province. With the green mountains at his back and the sea in the south, he knows very well what kind of life the Orions live.
If you want to make a living by hunting in the mountains, good marksmanship is just the foundation. Tracking, trap setting, and wilderness survival skills are all required courses. In their country, only experienced hunters can hunt back a wild boar in one night.
