On the mountain road in the forest, Zhou Guochang gave a non-standard military salute and said loudly and energetically, "The material situation has been calculated."
"Tell me about it"
Squad Leader Liang took a puff of his pipe through his interview mask and responded casually while puffing out smoke.
"There are two hundred kilograms of rice in total."
Zhou Guochang took two quick steps and continued, "In addition, there is a barrel of gasoline that Brother Wei recovered. Just before entering the mountain, he also removed a roll of tarpaulin from the American truck that overturned into the ditch."
"Where's the water?" Squad Leader Liang asked casually while puffing on his pipe, even though these questions had been checked before departure.
"Each person brings two jugs of water," Zhou Guochang replied immediately, "and each donkey also has six jugs filled with water."
"Quining" Squad Leader Liang became a little more serious.
"Carrying it on my back"
Wei Ran and Qin Shouzheng replied in unison that such vital things were all placed in their backpacks.
Squad Leader Liang nodded and subconsciously looked at the donkey led by Qin Shouzheng.
Today, the two iconic 20-inch large iron pots are no longer on the donkey's back. Instead, there is only a small pot borrowed from an old monk in the temple, and an English pot found in abandoned trucks.
Fortunately, although the big pot is gone, the cooking utensils and seasonings are still there. There is even a casserole for boiling medicine and a large bunch of dried chili peppers in the basket on the back of the donkey of the young monk Sehao.
Compared with the chef squad leader who always pays attention to food and drink, Qin Shouzheng is undoubtedly more concerned about the reserve of weapons and ammunition. Unfortunately, although they have three submachine guns, each submachine gun only has three spare magazines, and there are no additional ones.
bullet.
After meeting the fake expeditionary force soldiers on the way to Mo's village, they got three extra Enfield rifles and sufficient supporting ammunition. But with so many people and so many guns, it's really hard to
If you encounter an enemy, they probably won't be enough to fill your teeth.
Thinking of this, Qin Shouzheng sighed. After a moment of hesitation, he took off the leather holster hanging on his waist. Together with the Webley revolver inside and the two boxes of ammunition that he had collected together, he handed them all to the same man who was also in the army.
Luke, a businessman with deep thoughts.
"For me?" Businessman Luke asked in surprise and in badly off-key Chinese.
"Take it"
Qin Shouzheng patted the Browning pistol on his waist that originally belonged to the other party, "In this barren mountain, if you encounter a tiger, you must have a self-defense weapon, but this gun belongs to me, I don't want to
Will return it to you."
"This gun is already good"
Luke took the Webley revolver without thinking, and kept saying, "I gave that Browning to you, who made you not abandon me in the first place."
"If it weren't for Squad Leader Liang, I would have thrown you into the flood a long time ago." Qin Shouzheng said and took a few steps quickly, obviously not wanting to have too much communication with Luke.
Compared to these few people, the quietest ones in this team were the young master named Se Hao and Wei Ran who walked at the end.
In addition to the personality of the former, the main problem is the language barrier. Every time he wants to say something, he has to rely on Zhou Guochang to translate.
As for the latter, he is secretly wary of whether he will encounter any trouble next, or what kind of trouble he will encounter. After all, he clearly remembers that one of his return tasks this time is to survive to the cooking class
The squad leader was buried.
Glancing regretfully at Squad Leader Liang who was walking in front, Wei Ran sighed silently, feeling a sense of powerlessness all over his body. This torment of knowing that the other party would die but being unable to do anything about it made him feel paralyzed since yesterday.
Time and time again he tried to persuade Squad Leader Liang not to enter Savage Mountain - even though he knew clearly that he could not change history at all.
"well..."
Wei Ran sighed again, tightened the bamboo basket he was carrying, and stepped up his steps to shorten the distance between him and the people in front of him.
From morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, they walked all day long, and they just climbed two mountains by following the footprints left by the troops who entered Savage Mountain before.
However, just as the sun was about to set, the roar of airplanes could be heard faintly above the dense forest!
"hidden!"
At the front of the team, Qin Shouzheng, who had just climbed to the top of the mountain, shouted loudly, dragged the donkey and headed into the woods on the roadside.
As soon as he shouted this, the businessman Luke grabbed the reins of the young monk Sehao's donkey and followed Qin Shouzheng into the woods on the roadside. At the same time, Squad Leader Liang and Wei Ran followed suit.
He grabbed Zhou Guochang, who subconsciously wanted to raise his gun and aim it in the air, and led him into the woods.
A moment later, several planes circled overhead, and one of them even dropped two aerial bombs at the mountain they had climbed over.
Amidst the rumbling explosions, these planes circled for a while and finally flew towards the direction of Mo's Village.
It wasn't until the noise of the plane completely disappeared that everyone returned to the mountain path again. The young monk Sehao also stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of Mo's village. In the end, he just clasped his hands together, lowered his head and muttered something.
.
Squad leader Liang picked up the British army water bottle slung across his body, pulled out the stopper and poured it into his mouth. When he saw that there was no water, he replaced it with another one.
After drinking the last sip of water in the kettle, Squad Leader Liang spat and said, "Walk down the mountain and find a place to spend the night halfway up the mountain."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Guochang immediately translated the original words to the young monk Sehao. When he finished speaking, the latter immediately raised his finger and pointed in front of him and said something.
"The young master said it would be better to keep walking further. There is a cave halfway up the mountain in front of us, which is enough for all of us to rest." Before Zhou Guochang finished speaking, the young monk said something else.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhou Guochang immediately explained, "My little master also said that you can find mountain spring water not far from the cave."
"Then listen to Little Master Sehao." Squad Leader Liang waved his hand, "Everyone, take a few steps quickly and try to find the cave before it gets completely dark."
This time, Zhou Guochang didn't need to translate at all. The still barefoot young monk Sehao took the initiative to lead the donkey and walked in front.
Under the leadership of this young monk, everyone also accelerated their pace down the mountain in the gradually rising fog. Enduring their fatigue, they left the path trodden by the front troops in the increasingly dim sight, turned onto another mountain road, and finally
Stopped at the entrance of a cave.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, although the entrance of this cave is not large, the area inside is really quite large. Not to mention the six of them and two donkeys, it is probably more than enough to park two trucks.
Not only that, there is a half-carved Buddha statue inside the cave. In front of the Buddha statue are not only several straw futons, but also a lot of chopped firewood stacked near the rock wall.
These unexpected things also put a hint of surprise on the faces of everyone who had been walking all day.
