"Yes, I almost forgot about the real thing!" The old squad leader suddenly reacted.
"Old village chief, we came here to buy some food. I wonder if the folks have any leftover food at home!"
"Food!" The old village chief showed a troubled expression on his face.
He answered with a trace of scruples: "There are some, but the quantity is very small. The food that the villagers get from fishing is just to ensure that everyone does not starve to death, there must be no leftover food!"
"In addition, the Qingxiang regiment comes here every now and then to plunder, and the villagers don't dare to buy too much food at all!"
The old squad leader quickly replied: "Don't worry, village chief, our Red Army will never take the villagers' needles and threads in vain!"
"We buy all the grain. Now two oceans can buy more than one hundred kilograms of rice outside. Our Red Army will not let the villagers suffer, and we will buy it from the villagers at the price of fifty kilograms of grain per ocean!"
"I have two pieces of ocean here, which can buy a hundred kilograms of rice. I hope the village chief can help me get it together!"
A flash of emotion quickly flashed across the old village chief's scrupulous face.
"A family should be able to raise ten kilograms of rice together. Okay, I'll go find the folks now!"
"Thank you, old village chief. After collecting the food, we will send it directly to the Zhang family..."
"Let's go to Zhang's house and see. The old couple were beaten half to death by Bai Gouzi. It's so pitiful!"
Fortunately, the Zhang family only suffered external injuries and were able to walk after a short rest.
Seeing the old squad leader coming over, Old Man Zhang, who had wounds all over his body, knelt on the ground in pain and wanted to kowtow to the old squad leader.
"Girl, come quickly and kowtow to your benefactor..."
"If it weren't for these two Red Army soldiers, you would definitely not be able to see your parents now. Even you yourself would be snatched away by Rich Man Zhang as a concubine, and then sold to a brothel. Life would be worse than death~"
The old squad leader quickly stopped: "Brother Zhang, please don't do this. We are the Red Army. We fight white dogs and hide the common people. This is what we should do!"
"How about it? You two are also injured. Can you still walk?"
Old man Zhang quickly replied: "I can still walk... I just need to apply some medicine to recuperate!"
"That's good!" Lao Ban took a long breath of relief and then added.
"Since you can leave, pack your things and leave here as soon as possible!"
"Although Rich Man Zhang is dead, there will definitely be other Qingxiang regiments coming in the future. If they know that Rich Man Zhang's death is related to you, you will definitely be persecuted! There are five pieces of ocean here, just treat it as what our Red Army gave you
Compensation. Pack your things quickly and leave overnight, as far away as possible!"
Li Hao didn't speak during the whole process, staring at this fisherman family with a pair of big eyes!
Everywhere in the thatched house was dark, and the only valuable items were perhaps the two fishing nets hanging on the wall and a large iron pot in the corner of the room.
poverty……
This was Li Hao's only feeling after seeing the homes of the lowest class people in this era for the first time.
Seeing old man Zhang collecting the two fishing nets hanging on the wall, and then not touching the fishing net in the corner, Li Hao's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Can you give me that fishing net in the corner?"
Before Old Man Zhang could speak, the old squad leader had already objected: "No! Haozi, why do you want fishing nets? We are the Red Army, and fishing nets cannot fight. And our Red Army has discipline and cannot use needles and threads against the villagers!"
Li Hao did not compromise and insisted: "Old squad leader, you have to believe me, this fishing net will definitely be useful to me!"
"Don't we have money? We can buy it with money!"
Old man Zhang quickly waved his hand and refused: "Comrade Red Army, aren't you trying to kill me by raising money? I can't repay you for the five yuan you just gave me. Even if I give you this new fishing net, I can't take the money, let alone
This fishing net is too worn out to be used!”
"Comrade Red Army, you can take it if it's useful, but don't mention money, otherwise my spine will be pierced!"
Li Hao didn't respond. He stared at the old squad leader and asked with a serious face: "Old squad leader, you have to believe me!"
"Then take it!" the old monitor replied after hesitating for a long time.
What he was most worried about was not getting the fishing net, but worrying that after taking the fishing net, dragging the fishing net would affect Li Hao's march.
You know, the cooks already have to carry a lot of weight when marching every day. Even adding another kilogram of weight may affect the march!
Li Hao may not have thought of this problem and is not worried about it.
As soon as the old squad leader let go, a smile appeared on his serious face, and he rushed to the corner and started arranging the fishing nets!
Now that you have decided to continue following the Red Army, the first thing you have to do is to make yourself stronger.
Only in this way can I have a chance to reach Yan'an alive.
Taking good care of your body is the first step to becoming stronger.
If you passively accept the current diet of the Red Army, even if you give yourself another year, your health will not get better.
The food provided by the Red Army was so poor that it was not nutritious. They also ate one meal but not the next, and they were often hungry.
From the entrance of the village to here, Li Hao was thinking about how to solve this problem.
The last solution I thought of was to take the initiative and be a good cook!
Make use of your own fishing skills, catch more fish when you find opportunities, and make yourself stronger by eating fish meat.
Fishing requires fishing nets and hooks. The fishing nets hanging on the wall are too inefficient and require the use of fishing boats, which Li Hao doesn't like at all.
He plans to use those broken fishing nets to renovate them and have a throwing net that suits him best and is what he is best at...
As a fisherman, repairing and modifying fishing nets is something he has learned since he was a child!
In less than half an hour, the old village chief delivered one hundred kilograms of rice.
The old squad leader didn't waste much time. He carried seventy kilograms of rice on his back, leaving thirty kilograms of rice and fishing nets for Li Hao. He left two pieces of ocean and started to rush back.
Unexpectedly, today's outing directly caused Li Hao to undergo earth-shaking changes in his heart.
"Company commander, we are back. We have brought back a hundred kilograms of rice, two guns, twenty-five bullets, and twenty yuan!" As soon as he returned to the position, the panting old squad leader went to the company commander and reported
road!
After briefly understanding some of the situation, the company commander ordered: "You keep the guns, and each of you keeps five rounds of ammunition, and the other items are turned in!"
"Then seize the time to rest, make breakfast before six o'clock in the morning, retreat at seven o'clock in the morning, and march 150 miles to continue to block the enemy!"
Li Hao didn't know how he spent the next two days. He didn't feel the joy of owning a rifle at all.
No matter day or night, apart from marching or marching, the only time you can stop and rest is when the cooking squad is cooking.
"Haozi, hold on for another hour and we will reach the position. Our superiors have asked us to stay here for two days and two nights. We will definitely have time to take a good rest!" encouraged the old squad leader who had been walking beside Li Hao.
With the help of the old squad leader, the weight on my body has been reduced from the initial thirty kilograms to the current ten kilograms, a rifle and an old fishing net!
Li Hao still felt as if his shoulders were as heavy as carrying a thousand kilograms of weight, making him breathless.
