Chapter 1492 Traveling at night(2/2)
A piece of wild vegetable as long as your finger - luckily, there is no limit to the hot soup, and you can keep drinking it as long as it rains.
After pouring several jars of hot soup with no nutritional content, everyone crowded around the campfire and fell asleep before hunger struck again.
Only Squad Leader Liu untied the wick cord that was originally tied to the mouth of the oil bottle, dried it carefully, rolled it up, stuffed it into his medicine bottle and tightened the lid.
This time, Wei Ran even felt that he had just closed his eyes and squinted for a few minutes before Squad Leader Liu called him out.
"Comrades, wake up, it's time for us to set off." Squad leader Liu woke everyone up one by one, and then started the routine roll call as before.
After everyone responded one by one, Squad Leader Liu immediately greeted everyone to eat quickly.
This was a rare good thing. Although Wei Ran didn't know how long he slept, the interval between meals must have been shortened.
On the other hand, not only has the rain stopped at this time, but even the morning star can be seen clearly. I think today will be a rare good weather.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for breakfast...
There are still three pieces of leather, five grains of highland barley per person, and a handful of slightly browned bark powder floating in each person's cup. Now that the rain has stopped, the water is no longer in limited supply again.
After a couple of people finished breakfast, Wei Ran used his own enamel jar to fill the oil tank of the kerosene lamp less than half full. At the same time, Li Zhuang and Zhang Erwa also dismantled the stove they had set up last night and filled the oil tank of the kerosene lamp.
The firewood that belonged to Comrade Wang Zhen and was now carbonized was picked up one by one and put into the basket.
When everything was ready, Nurse Ji lit the kerosene lamp with the last embers she had deliberately reserved.
Later, the little lama picked up the kerosene lamp with the old socket assigned to him. Because of his job of holding the lamp, Squad Leader Liu naturally placed him behind him.
Under this not-so-bright light, everyone stepped forward again into the cold mud, covered in stars and moonlight.
Behind the little lama, Wei Ran, who was carrying a pole, really didn't know how to describe everything at this time.
Total silence might be the most appropriate, but every step they took would cause the mud under their feet to surge and make a splashing sound.
The Ruchui Ice Cellar may also be used, but after walking a few steps, Wei Ran already had a small amount of sweat on his forehead due to the large glass of hot soup he drank before setting off, and the laborious movements he made every time he raised his legs.
beads of sweat.
Maybe...maybe loneliness and despair are the most appropriate adjectives...
Wei Ran looked at the surrounding darkness that had not been completely dispelled by the light, and could not help but feel a trace of the inexplicable Chinese fear of ghosts and ghosts in his heart.
But this fear was quickly dissipated by other people's conversations when they encouraged and helped each other, so... loneliness and despair seemed equally unsuitable.
Shaking his head slightly, Wei Ran pulled his feet wrapped in rags and leggings out of the mud more forcefully, and stepped firmly on the soft and cold grass.
I don't know how long it took, but the sky turned white, and the little lama blew out the oil lamp at the signal of Squad Leader Liu.
During the short stay, Squad Leader Liu gave everyone two grains of highland barley, and Nurse Ji also poured the little fuel left in the oil lamp back into the oil pot carried by Wei Ran.
Throwing two grains of highland barley into his mouth, he hid it under his tongue and waited patiently for them to soak. Wei Ran followed the squad leader Liu and the little lama who were walking in front and took another step. Covered in the rare flaming sun, he walked towards the increasingly brighter and brighter place.
nearby destination.
I don't know when, two big mosquitoes landed on Wei Ran's arm.
"Snapped!"
Wei Ran slapped the pair of mosquitoes into a brand, then bent down to grab a piece of mud, and smeared it on the exposed skin all over his body as he walked.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva that seemed to smell like highland barley, Wei Ran took two quick steps to catch up with the young lama carrying a gun in front of him. At the same time, he also paid attention to his surroundings, eagerly looking for weeds that could be used to make straw sandals.
Nowadays, wearing straw sandals is not only for him to complete the language task. The march in the past few days has consumed everyone's straw sandal reserves. Just now, the last straw sandal on his own feet was also covered in mud.
It stays in the stomach forever.
In other words, if they can no longer find dead grass, the leggings on their feet may not last long before they wear out, and then they will have to walk barefoot.
At this moment, Captain Liu, who was walking at the front, suddenly walked a few steps quickly and stumbled towards a meadow directly ahead.
After reacting for a moment, the little lama who was walking in second place and Wei Ran and others behind him quickly caught up.
Then they saw the body of a horse.
Those were indeed bones. The horse skin was gone, and even the bones were incomplete. The only thing that was intact was only a vertebrae and the smashed horse skull - everything edible from its body had been taken away.
After waving his hand to drive away the mosquitoes and flies on the corpse, Squad Leader Liu picked up a thigh bone and put it under his nose, smelled it, and then said happily, "Comrades, we have bone soup to drink tonight!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the others immediately gathered around, each picked up a bone and smelled it.
"It stinks..." Li Zhuang said subconsciously.
"The outside of the meat smells bad, but the inside of the bones doesn't necessarily smell bad." Squad Leader Liu said as he pinned the complete thigh bone to his belt.
Seeing this, the others picked up a bone one after another, or put it on their belts like Squad Leader Liu, or tied it with the firewood on their backs. Especially Wei Ran, who was carrying a pole, picked up a few bones.
Bones that looked like they had marrow were stuffed into the bamboo basket.
Although they only picked up a few bones, everyone was still very happy, and even their steps became much easier.
With this little encouragement, time seemed to pass a little faster. In order to encourage everyone, squad leader Liu generously gave everyone five more grains of highland barley to replenish their physical strength.
But...it's just five grains of highland barley after all...
"Pfft" When Wei Ran tried to take the next step, his vision went dark and his legs lost strength.
"Comrade Wei Ran..."
