Before she could finish her words, the sound of abdominal rumblings reached everyone's ears again. This time it was really coming from Nurse Ji's stomach.

After a brief silence, except for the little lama who didn't know what was going on and Nurse Ji who was blushing behind Wei Ran, everyone else burst into good-natured laughter.

"I really can't imagine what kind of good life it will be like if everyone can have enough to eat in the future."

Squad Leader Liu, who was walking at the front, murmured, and then his stomach growled. Not surprisingly, these young soldiers who were enjoying themselves burst into laughter again. This time, they couldn't even understand.

The little lamas they were talking about were all laughing very happily.

"At that time...well..."

Wei Ran only started to speak, but he felt that his throat was being strangled by a large invisible hand, and his eyesight went black.

After this small warning, Wei Ran did not dare to participate in this topic and could only quietly listen to the thoughts of Squad Leader Liu and others.

In their "scarce" imagination and their "simple" expectations for the future, the annual harvest is enough to feed the whole family, so that they can survive the lean years without having to work for the landlords to pay their rent.

Even when he boldly asked the question "What is your favorite food?"

After racking their brains for a while, Squad Leader Liu, Li Zhuang, Zhang Erwa, and even Nurse Ji, who was born as a landowner, the answers they gave were only highly convergent "fat meat" and "eggs" and "

Brown sugar" is all.

During this late-night musing about food, everyone's stomachs rumbled more than once, including Wei Ran and the little lama, and everyone laughed more than once.

During this late-night journey, the weather lantern swayed on the muzzle of the gun carried by the young lama and never went out, and everyone never stopped - even if they no longer had straw sandals to wear.

I don't know how long it took, but the moon that had been accompanying them was blocked by clouds, and a cold wind blew on the grass.

The cold wind blowing in the face was also mixed with the vague smell of corpses.

“It looks like it’s going to rain.”

Monitor Liu's tone could not tell whether he was happy or worried, but he followed closely and asked, "Did you smell it?"

“Smell it”

The first person to respond to him was Wei Ran, who was second to last, "Corpse odor, very fresh corpse odor."

"Be careful next time," Squad Leader Liu said, "We should find a place to stop."

Hearing this, everyone increased their vigilance and used the wooden sticks in their hands to check the strength of each step before taking a step forward.

From one meadow to another, as the wind intensified, finally, the rapid raindrops crackled on everyone's bodies, bamboo hats, and the oil lamp that was not afraid of wind and rain.

"Wow——"

Almost instantly, the rain suddenly intensified, and Wei Ran could no longer even see the people in front and behind him, and could only see the shaking oil lamp.

"Nurse Ji! Hold on to the bamboo basket!"

Wei Ran turned around and shouted a greeting, but because he was using too much force, his eyesight began to turn black.

Wei Ran tightened his grip on the stick stuck in the mud and stood firm. Wei Ran untied the spare leggings around his waist and handed it to Nurse Ji behind him. It wasn't until the other party tightened his grip that he stepped forward again.

He quickly caught up with Li Zhuang, who seemed to be waiting for him, and took a leggings strap from his hand.

Soon, a group of six people connected each other with ropes, and followed Squad Leader Liu to move little by little under the pouring rain.

After walking like this in the wind and rain for ten minutes, Captain Liu who was walking at the front stopped, then took another step and adjusted his direction.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although he didn't know what happened, Wei Ran still increased his vigilance and looked around every step he took.

However, the sudden heavy rain not only flowed down the edge of the hat in a very short period of time and filled his already empty water bottle, but also obscured his vision. In addition, the light was dim and it was too far away from him.

, he couldn't even see clearly the ground one meter away.

The almost blind man was led away by Squad Leader Liu for nearly half an hour. He gradually noticed that the ground was rising little by little. Although they were not able to completely leave the muddy water in the end, at least the grass under their feet did not feel like it.

It's a spring bed with nowhere to rest.

"Tent! Set up a tent!" Squad Leader Liu roared loudly, and Wei Ran's indefinable excitement was hidden in his unintelligible tone.

Without bothering to ask, Wei Ran immediately put down the bamboo basket he was carrying. Immediately afterwards, Li Zhuang and Zhang Erwa also opened the tattered blanket that had been filled with rainwater. With the help of the others, they struggled to put it down.

A tent was set up that could barely block most of the rain.

"just!"

After Squad Leader Liu sat down, he hung the oil lamp carried by the little lama on the pole supporting the tent, pointed in the direction they came from and shouted excitedly, "Where I turned, there seemed to be a drowned horse there.

horse!"

Before anyone could react, he placed a copper gourd outside the tent to catch the rainwater while continuing to shout, "Horse floating on the mud! His belly is swollen and round! Let's go and take a look when the sun comes up! Maybe we can find it.

Get some meat you can eat!"

"good!"

Everyone responded excitedly, and their kettles, enamel jars, and any other containers that could be used to hold water were placed outside the tent like a stall, and were picked up one after another in less than a minute.

Full.

Can we wait until dawn to eat meat?

When everyone picked up the enamel jar filled with rainwater, they couldn't help but swallow, and then poured the cold rainwater into their stomachs, as if...the rainwater was mixed with meat.

The cold brought by the heavy rain and the temptation brought by meat made it destined to be an extremely long and difficult night.

In fact, the temptation to eat meat was far greater than the chill brought by the heavy rain. In short, everyone crowded in the small tent had insomnia.

While tossing and turning, Wei Ran himself didn't know how many times he fell asleep and was woken up by the cold. He only remembered that the rain never stopped, and among the people, the oil lamp that could barely be used to keep warm was gone.

It's always burning.

However, as time went by, the people around them crowded tighter and tighter because of the lower and lower temperature. Later, when the sky gradually turned white and the rain became somewhat lighter, everyone began to sneeze and inhale.

My nose is runny.

“Can’t wait any longer”

Squad leader Liu said worriedly, "Nurse Ji, come and light the fire. The rest of the comrades, let's go see if the horse can still be eaten."

"Go! Go!"

Li Zhuang and Zhang Erwa, who had been waiting for this order for a long time, were the first to get out of the tent, but they inevitably sat down again due to dizziness caused by excessive movement.

"Take the bamboo basket"

Squad leader Liu called on the little lama and Wei Ran to help Li Zhuang and Li Zhuang up and said, "You also need to take everyone's leggings. Comrade Wei Ran, take your big knife and pole. You can leave the rest without them."

Without!"

"yes!"

Except for the little lama who was a little slow due to the language barrier, everyone else responded to Squad Leader Liu's order in unison and began to take off the leggings on their legs and the spare leggings on their waists, connected them into a rope and threw them in

Into the basket.

After finally getting the necessary things, Wei Ran gestured to the little lama to temporarily leave the box cannon on his waist and the old sleeve he had been holding on to all night long. Only then was all preparations made.

Squad leader Liu was still at the front, and the little lama was still holding the oil lamp. Everyone stepped on the cold grass and walked towards the direction they came from, amidst the sounds of sneezing and sniffing from time to time.

Finally, when Squad Leader Liu stopped again, there was a wooden stick tied with a cloth stuck on the edge of the meadow not far ahead. As expected, there was a stinky horse floating in the swamp less than two meters away from the wooden stick.

corpses of military horses.
