Chapter 398: Business
Boom boom boom~
Somewhere in southern Jinnan, a group of soldiers of the Central Army wearing steel helmets and under artillery fire are launching a surprise attack on the devils, they have been ordered to stay here for three days, and today happens to be the last day, so they are ready to break through at night after a wave of ruthlessness.
Bah~
An old soldier spat on a saliva mixed with dirt and blood, and the old soldier's face was covered in mud, and the surface of the steel helmet was all scratched, and it seemed that it was often rushing inside the shell.
"Damn, the head of the regiment doesn't know how to do it, last time when the price of grain fell, we should have bought more grain, you see that now the price has gone up again, and the brothers only eat two porridges a day, so we can't mix it yet."
"Don't say it, who let us fight now, it's good to have a few nests to gnaw, do you have smoke? Bring me one. ”
The other veteran retracted into the trench, holding his gun, leaning his back against the wall of the trench, his head shrunk, and occasionally shook with the sound of a cannon.
This wave of raids was successful, otherwise the devils would not have been angry and launched artillery bombardments.
"The water is gone, and I think if we keep going, we'll be able to last a day at most.
You can eat less of this rice, but you must not go without drinking this water. ”
In the tense atmosphere of this battlefield, the temperature is high, and the soldiers are seriously short of water, and if there is no water, they will probably not be able to hold on.
Another veteran moved his body and handed over a kettle, in fact, although everyone was in a regiment, the people who survived were the elites of each platoon, and they really couldn't take care of each other except for the names they had heard.
Veteran A took the kettle, looked at this veteran B, and said:
"What about the legs, you say?"
"Hehe, let the shrapnel bite it!"
There was no sadness on Veteran B's face, and his smile seemed to interpret his inner thoughts, fearless.
"Can you still walk?"
"Of course, although the bite of this shrapnel is very painful, there is no problem in walking, but the medical soldier just gave me some kind of anesthetic, which caused me to be unable to move my thighs now."
When the other two veterans heard this, they looked at him with surprise on their faces, and veteran C couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth and scolded:
"Special mother, your kid won't be the nephew of the regiment leader, right? Can there still be narcotics here? ”
On the battlefield, wounds are often bandaged directly, and if you think about anything else, this veteran can still be anesthetic.
"How could I be, how could my nephew be here if I was the head of the regiment? I had already followed the gang of officials and went to the back to enjoy the blessings. ”
"That's right!"
Veteran A took a puff of cigarette and nodded, and at this time, the wounded soldier took out a few nests from his body and handed them to a few people, saying:
"I picked it up halfway through, I heard that a group of dirt and eight road transport teams were attacked by devils, and I happened to be on a mission at the time, so I accidentally picked up a bag.
It's not very tasty, but it's very filling! ”
Several veterans looked at the yellow thing in their hands, which was a little different from the ordinary nest, but they still ate it, they hadn't eaten a full meal in the past few days, and now they can swallow it even if it is grassroots.
After eating, I felt good, and then the battle began again, and at this time, the transport team of the Central Army happened to send supplies, and all the boxes were filled with Huang Huhu's nest heads......
The guerrilla battalion of the Eighth Route Army was stationed, Huangshui Town.
Xiao Wen was processing documents this day, and it happened that someone came to her at this time, and the person who came was a cripple, and it seemed that he had an injury on his thigh.
Xiao Wen had forgotten that this was the first time he had rejected this person, thinking about what the fat man had told her in the morning, the time had come, and it was time to give him some sweetness today.
"I wonder what this gentleman is looking for me?"
The person who came was wearing a short coat, and a black hat on his head was particularly obvious, and I don't know what this person thought.
In the face of Xiao Wen's cold and glamorous temperament, after a few seconds of falling, he came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"You should be Miss Xiao Wen, let me introduce myself, my name is Huang De, I am the platoon commander of the third company of the XX7 Regiment of the Central Army, and I came here to find you this time."
Xiao Wen frowned, thinking that this dead fat man was quite accurate, he had said before that the person who came over was either from the Central Army or the Jin Sui Army, and now he really guessed correctly.
With a silent expression on her face, Xiao Wen asked lightly:
"I wonder what's the matter with Your Excellency?"
"That's right, this time I came here to negotiate a deal with your ministry, if your ministry is willing to talk to us, then our chief of staff will come over personally."
"What business?"
Xiao Wen almost guessed that Huang De said his thoughts at this time, which was nothing more than wanting to buy locust powder.
Xiao Wen felt that she was uncertain, so she did not refuse or agree verbally, but asked him to go down and rest for a while, and she had to think about it again.
The so-called deliberation is to chat with the little fat man, and she is really not good at making decisions herself.
"What's so hard about that? If they want to buy it, we will sell it, but the price has to be increased by 20 times, and the locusts we used to be not much different from the ones we picked up, and now they naturally have to be sold as gold! ”
Xiao Wen thinks that her brother is a fool, what is this locust powder? Isn't that more expensive than food if it's 20 times more?
You must know that the price of food has remained high recently because of the locust plague, and even so, the food is still not enough to buy, and this dead fat man actually said that locust powder is 20 times the price of grain, which is a robbery.
Facts have proved that even if it is a robbery, someone will ask for it, and in less than three days, a middle-aged man came to her and offered her two thousand oceans, asking her to send the yellow worm powder over as soon as possible, and as for the matter of 20 times the price of food, the other party didn't even blink an eyelid.
Xiao Wen couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, so she came over to find the little fat man, and at this time, Wu Xiaoshan, the secretary of Wu, was making tea for the little fat man, this is the task assigned to her by Li Feng, and the secretary should look like a secretary.
It's just that when the little fat man heard that the other party put 20 times the price in his eyes, he wailed and threw the cup in his hand.
"Damn, the price has been lowered!"
"Uh......"
Xiao Wen's mouth was crooked, thinking that this fat man must be stupid, and she was not satisfied with the price.
This is indeed the case, the XX7 Regiment of the Central Army has recently had a big operation and often needs to be active at night, and most of their soldiers have night blindness.
Let their division commander make a difficulty, heard that locust powder can cure night blindness, so let people go to the countryside to buy, who knows that a group of rich people look at this thing like their own father, you open your mouth is 100 times the price of food, and the angry people of the Central Army almost moved their guns.
So when they heard that the Eighth Route Army only sold grain at 20 times the price, they agreed without blinking, and pulled the things away on the same day, for fear that the Eighth Route Army would regret it, which was also the reason why the little fat man regretted it.
