Public is public, private is private!

Although everyone argued on business, they were almost the same as comrades in trouble in private at that time: they were arguing about business, staring at the beard, pointing their noses, and slapping the table, but in private, they could drink and chat and laugh.

Liu Bing specially chose a piece of horse meat for Zhou Ping. Seeing that Zhou Ping did not pick up the horse meat, he helped him roast the horse meat. After roasting it, he handed it to Zhou Ping. Seeing that Zhou Ping still didn't pick it up, he knew that Zhou Ping was sad and couldn't bear to eat horse meat. He advised: "Old Zhou, don't be too lazy to think about it. Think more. If you keep this meat, you can walk at least a few more miles and get away from the enemy's distance. Even if you order the enemy, you can kill more enemies. You should feel relieved and eat!"

Zhou Ping glanced at Liu Bing and sighed quietly, without saying anything, nor receiving horse meat.

Zhang Qingshan, with Zhou Baoyu and several soldiers, just came over and heard Liu Bing's words, stepped forward and grabbed Liu Bing and handed it to Zhou Ping, put it on Zhou Ping's hand, and said, "No matter how uncomfortable you feel, you must eat this horse meat, and you have to eat it if you can't. Otherwise, when you march later, where will you get the strength?"

Zhou Ping held the wooden stick and stared blankly at the horse meat on the other head of the wooden stick, which was bigger than the fist, and didn't know what to think.

Zhang Qingshan sat down beside him and directly put the four pieces of horse meat from the two wooden sticks he was holding on the fire. Each of the soldiers he had gotten had two wooden sticks on his hands, and each wooden stick had two pieces of horse meat.

I didn't hear Zhou Ping's response, and there was no horse meat at the corner of my eyes. I turned my head and looked over. Seeing him like this, he felt uncomfortable with killing horses. He frowned slightly and said to Zhou Ping: "Old Zhou, killing me, you still think so much, what's the point? I'd better eat it soon. After eating, I'd be very strong and I'd rush to wait for us to walk out of this water grassland. How many horses will be needed in the future and how many horses will be."

Zhou Ping sighed and said, "Old Zhang, Lao Liu, you two don't know that the signs of killing horses to satisfy hunger are not good. If we haven't walked out yet, we will habitually kill the second and third horses. But, what should we do if the remaining horses have been killed?"

Zhang Qingshan's brows suddenly stood up and said to Zhou Ping unhappily: "Old Zhou, I don't want to listen to you when you say this. What does it mean that the signs are not good? Let me tell you, even if the signs are not good, we have to recognize them, otherwise, do you still want to eat human flesh?"

Seeing Zhou Ping scan his eyes, open his mouth, but didn't say anything, Zhang Qingshan's tone was a little relaxed: "Old Zhou, it's not me who said to you. You are worried about your own ideas and your personality that you only consider your own ideas and do not come out from the overall situation. You sigh like this, how can other comrades see it? This is not good for morale. Eating horse meat is always much better than not eating, and some are always countless times stronger than not eating. You are not

I don't know, some comrades have said that after the main force has run out of food, there is really no way to eat everything, even the cowhide belts and cowhide shoes are roasted. We still have horse meat to eat now. You don't complain about anything here, and eat it soon. Otherwise, when you are tired later, I will still have to ask someone to carry you out. You shouldn't deliberately not eat it and make yourself tired of hunger, right?"

Liu Bing laughed with a squeak.

Zhou Ping smiled bitterly at Zhang Qingshan and shook his head, saying, "Your mouth is amazing, okay! I'll eat it."

After saying that, he bit off a piece of roasted horse meat with a bit of batter and chewed it hard.

Zhang Qingshan felt that he was a little angry, so he smiled and said, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Zhou Ping was also an old comrade. He shook his head and said, "It's a bit hard, much harder to chew than pork."

"That's natural, horse meat is much more important than pork. Or, bake it again?"

The atmosphere became much easier.

Then, everyone was talking while roasting horse meat.

After the horse meat was roasted, Zhang Qingshan took out a temporary sewn cloth bag, put three of the horse meat into the cloth bag, and handed it to Zhou Baoyu.

Zhou Ping asked curiously: "Lao Zhang, what are you doing? Are you trying to stock up on horse meat for yourself so that you can eat it secretly?"

"Get out! Is that kind of person?" Zhang Qingshan responded angrily: "Xiang Tao and the comrades from the security team were outside to watch. They had to rely on them to investigate and open the way later. It was much more difficult to eat horse meat than we are now. It is also worth it to help them roast horse meat and send it over."

Zhou Ping nodded and said seriously: "You are right. I shouldn't just think about my own feelings, and I don't think about other comrades. I shouldn't do this. I'll send these roasted horse meat later."

Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile and began to eat horse meat.

After having lunch, the troops rested for half an hour. Taking advantage of this time, Zhou Ping and a few soldiers sent horse meat to the comrades in the security squad.

Zhang Qingshan, Liu Bing and other soldiers were smoking cigarettes, roasting fires, baking grass, and discussing.

"Lao Zhang, how do you go next?"

Zhang Qingshan put the roasted weeds in his hand next to the fire, grabbed another weed, and continued to roast the soldiers surrounding the fire. Everyone was preparing for the firewood that was making fire. This was the experience obtained on the Long March.

"It's very simple, just follow the plan we made before."

"When Wanyi meets the enemy, how can we get out?"

"Don't think about this, because we just need to retreat to the depths of the water grassland." Zhang Qingshan said proudly: "I measure those reactionaries who are afraid of death and dare not follow us into the water grassland. No matter how much we are, we are coming from the water grassland, which is much less fear than when they face the water grassland. Just this point, we will have the advantage. If they want to follow us, we can completely rely on our experience to have fun with them, and we can drag them to death."

Liu Bing thought about it and was about to continue speaking, but he saw Lao Wang coming over with a small pot, with three soldiers following him, each of whom was holding a bowl made of a stack of bowls or a kettle.

"This horse meat is a bit hard to eat when roasted. I specially cooked a lot of soup with wild vegetables. Come on! Everyone drinks a bowl of soup and digests it."

After drinking wild vegetable soup, I don’t know if it’s a psychological factor, but everyone really feels much better.

Next, Liu Bing did not ask any questions, and Zhang Qingshan also took the initiative to change the topic. Everyone began to fantasize about how to make up for the pain and hardships he suffered over the past few years after walking out of the water and grassland.

Half an hour passed by, and everyone who had rested continued to rush around at night.

Still like before, Xiang Tao led the soldiers of the security squad to investigate and open the way three or four miles away in front of him, and Peng Peng and four strong soldiers were still "careful" Guan Yumin. However, I don't know if it was because of eating horse meat or because I felt that I was going to walk out of this damn water and grassland. The morale was particularly high, everyone had a smile on their faces and a light step. If the environment did not allow them to sing loudly, Zhang Qingshan would have wanted to take the lead in letting everyone express their inner excitement by singing.

"Report!"

After two or three hours of walking, a soldier from the security squad ran back to report.

"What's up?"

"Report to the company commander and ask me to come back to report to the squad leader. On the edge of the water grassland on our left, there are reactionary troops moving forward with us."

Hearing the report, Zhang Qingshan subconsciously looked up to the left. He could not see anything except the dark film, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure you are the enemy?"

Zhang Qingshan and other leaders did not find it strange to the enemy and his side to advance together: the enemy had already shown himself. After such a long time, he had not only passed the news, but also was definitely ready to fight or pursue. When he made a fire and cooked, the fire must have exposed his position. Even if the enemy did not dare to enter the water and grassland, he could still follow him on the edge, even if the other party was a semi-militarized organization like a local security group, he still had this ability.

But what surprised Zhang Qingshan was: the security team was only three or four miles away from their own side. How could they implement it so quickly as the enemy, not their own?

"I'm sure, it's definitely an enemy."

Hearing this affirmative tone, Zhang Qingshan became more curious, but before he could speak, Liu Bing next to him asked first: "How did you confirm it?"

The soldier immediately spoke in detail with a sarcastic tone.

In fact, all this is caused by points: the security team is a security team, and no matter how they do, they cannot catch up with the regular troops, especially the organizational discipline is poor. Bullying the people is a good player, but when encountering regular troops, it seems very panic.

A few hours ago, Xiang Tao took the soldier to watch out for the enemy's direction. Because of the existence of the fire, he was afraid that the enemy would find out the exact position on his side and then attack. The guard post was very far away. Xiang Tao and the soldier were only six or seven miles away from the edge of the water and grassland, and they vaguely heard the neighing sound of horses on the opposite side. But at that time, it was not uncommon for the enemy to show his position on his side through the fire, so they did not report it.

However, after walking for a few hours, Xiang Tao thought about the situation where the enemy was chasing him, and it was also very popular, so he asked everyone to move forward. He took the soldier out to the edge of the water and grassland again. As a result, he heard the neighing sound of horses and couldn't help but move forward a little. This time, he vaguely heard someone roaring something angry. He knew that there were absolutely many people.

Interestingly, in order to find out whether they were their own people, Xiang Tao took the risk of calling out to them. As a result, what he got was not a bullet, but a persuasion to surrender.

After hearing this, Zhang Qingshan thought for a while and said to the soldier: "You go back and tell Xiang Tao first that he has done a good job of the security squad continues to investigate and open the way, but he must send a few people to monitor the movements of the enemy on the left."

After the soldier left, Zhang Qingshan said to Liu Bing: "Old Liu, let's go as planned. What do you think?"

"Well! I agree. However, I think I must send an order to everyone again. Everyone must rush on the road silently and never expose themselves by the sound."

"Yes!" Zhang Qingshan nodded, turned around and said to Zhou Baoyu: "Baoyu, go and pass on Lao Liu's orders just now."

The plan is beneficial, but the reality is cruel. The enemy is not a fool. They have been eyeing each other for a long time. How could they watch Zhang Qingshan and others move smoothly according to the plan?

The reason why they haven't taken action is that they also have a big plan to deal with more than 100 people like Zhang Qingshan and others.
