Finally crossed Tiger Hill.
Chen Shulin said that there were still kilometers to go before the stone bridge at the end. He had calculated that, if nothing else happened, they would arrive before three in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, it was still raining at Menghugang. They had experienced the changeable climate in the mountains of Yunnan.
The clothes that had just been warmed and dried soon began to drip again, and waves of needle-like pain surged down along with the heat between the legs.
Gong Xue walked at the end, her speed obviously slowing down.
She looked at the situation around her and raised her hand to report to Chen Shulin that she needed to solve a personal problem. Chen Shulin asked the team members to rest where they were, told Gong Xue to pay attention to the poisonous snakes in the forest, and then let her go.
Gong Xue doesn't want to hold everyone back, but her situation today is really special. If not dealt with in time, I'm afraid this inevitable road will be filled with blood.
After quickly changing the sanitary napkins and tidying up, Gong Xue and her team members set out again.
After walking for less than half an hour, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, and the scorching sun came out again. They drank all the water, and there was no clean water source nearby.
Everyone bit their chapped and bleeding lips and kept on going. No one complained about the pain. Even Zhou Botong, who couldn't stand the pain the most, gritted his teeth and persisted.
Chen Shulin felt very moved, and his cynical impression of these defense students was completely changed.
After walking for about half an hour, they came to a jungle with lush vegetation.
"Everyone, rest here...I'll go find you something to drink." Chen Shulin was going to go to the forest to see if there was any water source.
Gong Xue raised her hand, "Team leader, I'll go with you."
Chen Shulin acquiesced, and the two stepped into the forest one after another.
Unfortunately, the mountain forest side is full of piled rocks and there are no springs at all.
Walking through the shady forest, Gong Xue suddenly remembered that Gao Yuan once told her about the details of how she would look for flowers and plants to replenish water when she couldn't find a water source when she was trying to survive in the wild.
Chen Shulin thought of going together with her, and he was also looking for plants that could be "drinked" among the various vegetation in the forest.
Gong Xue asked curiously: "Team leader, do you know the plants in the southern rainforest?" Chen Shulin said that before he came to Kunming, he was a soldier guarding the border in the Western Sichuan Plateau. The Western Sichuan Plateau is a high-altitude alpine zone. They only have
Cold and drought tolerant vegetation, no tropical plants at all..
"Know some... our teaching team captain... Gao..." As he was talking, Chen Shulin happened to see a bush of wild plantains. His eyes suddenly lit up. He stopped talking, took out a military spade, opened it, and pointed at it.
Cut off the roots.
"What kind of tree is this? Can it be eaten?" Gong Xue helped press the top of the tree.
Chen Shulin chopped the stem hard and said without raising his head: "The captain taught us that this kind of tree grows in the jungle in the south. It is called wild banana or cactus banana. The core of this plant has a particularly high water content.
, as long as you use a knife to quickly cut it off from the bottom, clean liquid will flow out from the stem... Gong Xue, look... is there a lot of juice..."
Chen Shulin split a small half, handed it to Gong Xue, and motioned for her to drink it.
Gong Xue was not angry, raised her head, and poured the fresh, cool and sweet juice into her mouth...
Chen Shulin also drank, sipping and sipping, and smiled: "It tastes good. It seems that Captain Gao Lie didn't fool us! Gong Xue, you can try its tender core again, you can eat it too." Chen Shulin
He broke open the stem and ate the white and tender core inside. After eating one piece, he saw Gong Xue standing there like a wooden person without moving. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Why don't you eat it? It's quite tender. There's nothing strange about it."
taste.."
Gong Xue's expression was a little strange. She looked at Chen Shulin and said, "You just said...what is your captain's name?"
Chen Shulin was stunned, "Gao Lie... the martyr's martyr, he is the god of our army. I heard that he used to be a special forces soldier. He came down to lead the troops after he was injured. I was his soldier. During training,
He taught us a lot of combat survival skills. He used documentaries to teach us how to identify wild banana trees like these. Recently, I heard from my comrades that he went to lead an artillery company, which is the sharp knife company of our motorized infantry regiment.
The captain is so awesome!!" Chen Shulin described his amazing captain to Gong Xue with gleaming eyes.
Gong Xue hesitated for a moment and asked: "Your captain...is he from Beijing? He is almost thirty years old, tall, with sunken eyes and thick eyebrows..."
Chen Shulin nodded in surprise, "Yes, how did you know? Do you know our captain?"
Gong Xue shook her head and said nothing.
Chen Shulin said: "Sigh... I heard a while ago that the captain's brother died while performing a mission in southern Xinjiang. The captain was very shocked. He stayed in the no-man's land with the brothers of the artillery company for more than three months.
Just returned to the station..."
Gong Xue stood quietly, like a dead tree that had been weathered for many years in the lush mountain forest, suddenly lifeless.
Chen Shulin saw Gong Xue's change and couldn't help asking worriedly: "Gong Xue, what's wrong with you? Is it because you feel sad after hearing about our captain?"
Gong Xue slightly raised the corners of her lips, showing a forced smile, "Yeah. A little sad."
It's more than sad...
Her plateau is always mentioned inadvertently...
But I can't talk to anyone...
Lowering his eyes and then raising them again, his expression had returned to its previous calmness.
She snatched the military shovel from Chen Shulin's hand and said, "I'll chop it... We must hurry up."
Unexpectedly, just after passing the Menghu Hill, which was difficult to reach the sky, another muddy area with stagnant water and dense aquatic plants appeared ten kilometers away from the stone bridge at the end.
Chen Shulin stared at the swamp ahead with an extremely solemn expression, "The last difficulty is here. If we pass it, we will win!"
Zhou Botong was dizzy. Although it was a pool filled with mud, it was still a place with water.
He stood behind Gong Xue again, "District Captain, I'm big, you have to help me..."
Gong Xue glanced at his belly and said, "I can help you. When you go back, remember to write a pledge to lose twenty pounds!"
Brother Bertong suddenly withered...
Chen Shulin said that the danger factor of the swamp here is average, but the team members have not received training in this area, so Chen Shulin still explained to them in detail the precautions and methods of passing through the swamp.
"Everyone remember that there are dangerous swamps whether in highlands or lowlands. If you fall into them accidentally, you may die at any time. The method of survival is the same as when you are trapped in quicksand. Do not struggle, but lie down.
, try to expand the contact area between the body and the quagmire, and slowly swim to a safe area to escape."
"Dangerous mire is usually found in swamps or wet, soft and muddy wilderness areas. If you see black flat land with no grass growing, you need to be especially careful. At the same time, you should pay attention to those green peat moss swamps. Sometimes, sphagnum moss covers the surface of the swamp like a carpet. This
It is the most dangerous trap." Chen Shulin picked up the heather on the ground and said: "If we have to walk through a place full of mud, we should walk along the high ground where trees grow, or step on the heather.
Above, this is the plant. Because trees and heather grow on hard ground, you will not be in danger if you follow their route. If you really can’t tell where the danger is, you can drop a few big rocks forward to see if the ground is hard.
, or stamp your feet vigorously. If the ground shakes, it is probably a quagmire and you should take a detour... Everyone, have you remembered?"
While everyone else answered loudly and remembered it, only Brother Botong scratched his head and muttered, "Anyway, I will follow the district captain. I will go wherever the district captain goes..."
