Chapter 23, Inspiration
Although Zhaojiazhuang lives in the mountains, it is only a hill about a hundred or ten meters high, and is only more than twenty miles away from the county town, and is set within the scope of the Japanese's sweeping.
The people of the whole village support the elderly and the young, and move towards the remnants of Taihang Mountain. In just three or four days, after entering the vast mountains, the Japanese will not chase after them.
But before that, their situation was still relatively dangerous.
Especially if there are elderly people and children in the team, they can’t even get up even if they are fast. Once they are discovered by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, whether they can retreat to the mountains safely depends on whether they are lucky enough and whether they are smooth along the way. On the other hand, it depends on how long the Eighth Route Army can hold the Japanese back.
On the mountain trail, someone who was rushing to the crane was habitually holding a wooden stick in his hand, walking one step and jumping two steps, and occasionally taking a breath of cold air and hissing.
If you want to say that the two lesbians walking in front of him were much better than him.
Erni turned around and said, "Brother Yuan, I didn't believe you were a college student before, but now I believe you."
"What's the meaning?"
The physical fatigue made Yuan Chenming have no time to think, even if it was a very simple thought, he was too lazy to do it.
"If it weren't for a college student, how could two big bubbles pop up on her feet just after a day's journey!" Erni said with a smile, completely forgot that her feet had also been worn.
"You little girl, you have such a good-mouthed voice, be careful not to find your in-laws!" Yuan Chenming sneered.
"Then I won't look for you. I'll live with Sister Qiu to save you stinky men from making me angry."
Erni grimaced at Yuan Chenming, turned around and shook Qiu Shufang's arm, and said coquettishly: "Sister Qiu, are you right?"
"Yes, yes, you little girl, I will be with you if you don't get married." Qiu Shufang agreed docitfully.
These two are very sisterly, one is smart and naughty, the other is gentle and virtuous. No one can support each other and rush together.
If someone can help him, that would be great.
The next day I miss the instructor.
It was the second day of the journey.
Even though Yuan Chenming was wearing the comfortable pair of sneakers he had just arrived, the situation was still bad.
Compared to the villagers who often walk on mountain roads and practice a pair of iron feet, his feet are still too tender.
When the instructor first came, he said that the soles of his feet repeatedly went through the process of grinding and carrying water blisters, causing a thick layer of calluses to form, and then he developed a pair of iron feet.
At that time, it will be a matter of time, and a pair of iron feet will be around the world. It means measuring.
To be honest, if there are conditions, a fool would do such things. But isn’t this without conditions?
Yuan Chenming was unhappy, but he didn't even dare to complain, for fear of passing on negative emotions to others.
But I was in a much happier mood when I was fighting with this little girl.
"Hurry, hurry, everyone is following. Adults are optimistic about the children, don't fall behind." Xu Xiaoyong maintained order and reminded the villagers and the people.
He saw the people at the end of the team. He handed over the maintenance of order to Li Ping'an of the militia and walked towards the end of the team.
"How is it? Can you still walk? Do I need to ask someone to help you?" Xu Xiaoyong walked up to help Yuan Chenming move forward and asked with concern.
Whether it is Li Yunlong's instructions or the value shown by Yuan Chenming, they deserve his special care.
The great man, he was not sick or injured, so he let others help him away. He is so spoiled!
"Okay, thank you Captain Xu, I'm not polite to you." Yuan Chenming blurted out without hesitation.
Xu Xiaoyong was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to be so impatient. Then he said, "Okay, I'll call you someone right away. Do you have any other needs?"
"There is nothing else, but I still have a question. How far will we have to go and how many days will we go?"
"I heard from the familiar fellow villager that there are more than a hundred miles away, and it will definitely be here in three days."
Seeing that Yuan Chenming's face turned dark, Xu Xiaoyong hurriedly comforted again: "By the way, we have walked almost ten miles today, less than one hundred miles."
This is really bad news, and Yuan Chenming is hard to be happy.
A mountain road is not as good as a flat road, and it is very, very difficult to walk. Up the mountain road is like climbing a stairs, and you have to use twice as much effort. It is not easy to walk down the mountain road, so you have to be careful to fall down.
I walked forty miles the day before, but it was because people were in good spirits just now.
To this day, the boring journey has made people numb. The road is difficult to walk, and it is not good to be able to travel thirty miles a day.
Before the road is halfway through, the person is about to fall down. Can you be happy if you put it on?
However, with special care, Xu Xiaoyong immediately sent a helper to help him move forward, and the pain of rushing to the road was slightly reduced.
"Two stupid."
"Hey, Brother Yuan."
The one who helped him forward was an acquaintance, the stupidest fool in the militia.
When I met a week ago, this guy recognized him as a woman. Yuan Chenming made up his mind to stay away from this guy.
But now, he broke his promise again.
There was a strong young man on the left to support him, and a wooden stick on the right. He was lightly pressed on his feet, which was indeed much more comfortable.
Yuan Chenming also noticed that Ersha was holding a red tassel gun in his hand and carrying a string of grenades on his back. The grenades seemed to be the batch they made.
By the way, the regiment commander assigned thirty grenades to the militia, and the rest were divided into the third company.
Because the grenade was made in a hurry and had not undergone explosion experiments, perhaps it was because it could not trust the effect of the grenade, or perhaps it was because it specially strengthened the militia.
It's not easy to guess.
"Ersha, why did you carry several grenades alone? Could it be that you carried it on your back?"
"Hey, I have great strength, I can throw the stones far away, the captain will give me a few more." Ersha replied with a silly smile.
His smile reminded Yuan Chenming of an anthropomorphic animal in a cartoon - Xiong Er.
It's true, even his burly figure is similar.
One, two, three... Seven grenades, one grenade weighs about one pound, which is a load of seven pounds.
It doesn’t seem to be a lot for Ersha, but it’s a lot for Yuan Chenming.
Speaking also requires physical strength. After asking a few questions, he stopped talking and rushed to the road in silence.
In front of the rushing team, Chen Li, who was sent by Lu Wenyuan to protect the great scholar, was in a depressed mood.
He is the best trained among the recruits in the third company. He thought he could fight and kill the enemy with the large army this time, but he didn't expect to be sent to be a bodyguard. The gap was too big.
Fortunately, he discussed with Captain Xu and went to the front of the team to open the way for reconnaissance, which was considered unhappy.
