At dusk, a remnant sun sprinkled the last rays of the sun on a high ground in the vast water, and the nearest high ground was a few hundred meters away, so this high ground seemed to be an island in the water. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The golden light of the water in the setting sun obscured the turbid yellow of the day, which was a beautiful moment, but the hundreds of soldiers and civilians crowded on the isolated island did not feel good at all.

They sat together with their faces full of vegetables, just to free up a square inch of space.

There were two marching pots set up, and the water in the pots was boiling, and white grains of wheat were glowing.

The people with wet muscles and intestines looked at the water in the pot and felt more and more hungry, and could only swallow the saliva in one gulp.

Huo Xiaoshan was sitting at the edge of the crowd at this time, Murong Pei was sitting beside him, and the little girl was leaning on Murong Pei's arms.

Shen Chonghua, Zheng Youjian and other key elements of the Quartermaster Department, as well as Hua Xiaochong and Liu Yunzhuo, all sat side by side, while Luo Lin sat farther away from them.

Beneath their feet were three wooden platoons with various gun grenadiers and some ammunition crates, and then four full pockets containing the food they had found in the Raven Hill temple complex.

This is the third day that Huo Xiaoshan and the others have left the Crow Mountain Hall.

Huo Xiaoshan and his soldiers have obviously lost weight in the past few days.

The reason is simple.

They dived under the guidance of a Taoist priest who had escaped to the roof of the main hall and found food and axes.

They swam to the nearest heights and cut down trees to make wooden rafts.

Those who don't know how to water can sit on the wooden rafts, and those who know how to swim swim under the umbrella of Huo Xiaoshan and other good swimmers.

The physical exertion is so great, but because he has to save food, he can't eat enough, and the person is seeing that he is losing weight.

Everyone had been silent for a long time, and hunger had made everyone lose the interest in talking.

Finally, twenty minutes later, the people from the cooking class came down and reported to Huo Xiaoshan that the meal was ready.

Only then did Huo Xiaoshan lead everyone to get up and come to the two marching pots.

He stood there quietly and whispered let's start the meal, and an older veteran took a wooden spoon and served porridge to those who came up one after another.

There were no bowls, and the utensils that people held porridge in their hands included aluminum lunch boxes and iron boxes that were originally captured from the Japanese army, but more of them were steel helmets.

But Rao is like this, and he will eat in two batches.

Because there are not enough people to eat, and the soldiers wearing pot helmets are only a part of all the personnel.

Huo Xiaoshan knew that he had to guard the porridge pot at this time, the food was limited, and he didn't know when he would get out of trouble, and he had to ensure absolute fairness in the distribution of food.

He believed in his soldiers, of course, but not all the people on the heights were his soldiers.

In addition to Murong Pei and Xiao Meizi, there were also two military commanders, as well as four male pilgrims who also escaped to the top of the main hall, plus a Taoist priest.

Huo Xiaoshan was the last in the second batch to finish the bowl of wheat porridge.

Seeing that the gruel could not be full, but at least brought a little vitality to the crowd, he licked the last of the boiled grains of wheat into his mouth with his tongue, stood beside the cauldron and said loudly, "Listen to me." ”

So all eyes were on him standing in the center of the highlands.

Huo Xiaoshan's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and then he said calmly: "I won't say much about the situation we are in now, everyone also sees it."

In order to overcome the current difficulties, I would like to emphasize that everyone here must demand themselves with the discipline of a soldier.

People who were not soldiers are now soldiers, and as for whether they will wait until they get out of trouble.

From tomorrow onwards, all those who march in the water will eat twice as much as those who are on the felling, as they will be in the same way as those who are felling.

Everyone can't eat enough, but look at how to compare, compared with those brothers who have died in battle, compared with so many fathers and villagers who have been swept away by the flood, we are happy here, because we are still alive, and we still have to fight devils!

From tonight onwards, no one is allowed to make trouble, try not to say anything if they can, and gather enough spirit to help each other in the same boat! Okay, that's all I have to say, let's rest! ”

When Huo Xiaoshan walked back to Murong Pei's side, he saw that Murong Pei was with his head down and his arms crossed on his curled knees, thinking that she was tired and resting.

But when he sat down next to Murong Pei, Murong Pei had already raised up, and only then did he see that there was a lunch box for eating under her, and there was porridge in it.

Murong Pei handed the lunch box to Huo Xiaoshan.

"You're not hungry?" Huo Xiaoshan smiled.

Murong Pei also smiled: "Hungry, I'll leave half for you if you're hungry!" ”

"Yaya eat!" Huo Xiaoshan Road.

"Shanzi eats!" Murong Pei said stubbornly.

Huo Xiaoshan didn't say a word or answer.

"It turned out that you got me food together, but now it's my turn to get you food, and I don't have your Huo Lianchang's ability, so I can only save it from my own mouth, look at how pitiful Yaya is!"

Murong Pei said that he was pitiful, but his eyes were full of smiles and endless affection for Huo Xiaoshan.

Huo Xiaoshan naturally understood what Murong Pei said, you got me food, referring to the fact that when the two of them were in the mountains and forests at the beginning, Huo Xiaoshan hunted hares, pheasants or something for her to eat.

Murong Pei saw that Huo Xiaoshan still didn't answer, and said, "Eat quickly, I don't have to make any effort, just starve to death." ”

Huo Xiaoshan thought about it for a while, this time he didn't refuse, reached out and took it, and drank it with a on his neck.

Murong Pei smiled contentedly when he saw Huo Xiaoshan finish drinking, but he leaned over, gently leaned his head on Huo Xiaoshan's shoulder, and whispered, "I'll tell you a big secret when it's dark." ”

After Huo Xiaoshan said "oh", the two of them stopped talking and leaned together, quietly looking at the last touch of sunset in the sky.

"You two said that how can the Yellow River burst its banks?" Dung Ball asked Shen Chong and Zheng Youjian, who were lying side by side with him.

The flood was so big that it was clear that the Yellow River had burst its banks, and anyone could guess that.

"The devil blew it up." Shen Chong replied in a low voice, he guessed.

"What do you think, fatty?" Shen Chong asked when he saw that Zheng Youjian was silent.

Zheng Youjian is not fat now, he has a good water nature, he has been busy with Huo Xiaoshan for the past few days, and his physical exertion is huge and he wants to sleep.

He didn't say anything for a long time, and just when the two people thought he was asleep, Zheng Youjian's father snorted two words in his nose: "No." ”

When Dung Ball asked this question, Zheng Youjian was pondering about it.

He and Huo Xiaoshan also discussed this matter in private, but they didn't come up with a reason.

It hadn't rained in the days before the flood, so it wasn't very likely that the dam would be breached by the torrential rains.

Even if it rains upstream and overflows the embankment, it is more likely that the Yellow River will be diverted by now.

However, it is not like the Japanese bombing, the Japanese planes are indeed powerful in throwing bombs, but it seems that it is not powerful enough to blow up the embankment of a river as big as the Yellow River.

Besides, what good did the Japanese army do to release the water of the Yellow River to them? The flood does not recognize people, and the Chinese do not flood the Japanese? Joke!

The Japanese army has many cars and tanks, and the roads are moving quickly, and it is difficult for them to supply them when the water rushes.

"This time the drowned man has an old nose!" (Old nose note: Northeast dialect, extremely much of the meaning) dung ball said again.

Zheng Youjian said: "Then you need to say? The water rushed through the village, and the houses in the low-lying places were gone, let alone the people. Born in troubled times, alas, sleep! So the three of them were silent.

When it was dark, Murong Pei had already gotten into Huo Xiaoshan's arms and pillowed on Huo Xiaoshan's arm.

She whispered to Huo Xiaoshan, "Do you want to know the big secret I said?" ”

"Oh? Go ahead. Huo Xiaoshan whispered.

"During the meal, the younger sister secretly left porridge for Shen Chong, and Shen Chong also drank it, I think that girl is also moving."

"That's it, it's a big secret? Just do you, you can't move the spring heart, the little girl moves the spring heart? Huo Xiaoshan smiled, Xindao and Yaya have been separated for so long, her gossip love has not changed at all, and it is suitable to be a military commander.

"Nasty." Murong Pei shyly pinched Huo Xiaoshan silently, she knew that Huo Xiaoshan was tired, but she secretly stuffed the hand above her into Huo Xiaoshan's shirt, stuck it on Huo Xiaoshan's chest, and leaned her face again.

Huo Xiaoshan also gently put the hand on Murong Pei's bare waist because he was lying on his side, felt the smoothness and coolness, and then silently recited a few words of the Buddha's name and fell asleep.

In another place in the highlands, Liu Yunzhuo was thinking about Murong Pei's affectionate eyes that always looked at Huo Xiaoshan during the day, Liu Yunzhuo sighed silently in the dark, he knew that he was destined to be doomed.

He felt Rollin, who was next to him, turn over, and he thought that he didn't know what this obnoxious creature was thinking, whether he was hungry or horny, and only he knew.
