march to victory

"Brother-in-law! Wait for me..."

Zhang Qingshan, who was observing around, vaguely heard Qin Fang calling him, and looking back, it seemed that Qin Fang was running towards him, so he could only wait where he was.

Soon, he saw Zhou Baoyu running over while yelling "Brother! Wait for me...", he was a little puzzled: Qin Fang might have come here out of guilt, but why did Zhou Baoyu insist on following?

When they were still about ten meters away from Zhang Qingshan, the two of them had already advanced side by side.

At this time, Zhang Qingshan saw clearly that Zhou Baoyu was holding a bundle of torches in his arms, and immediately understood that it must be Zhou Ping and the others who were afraid that they did not have enough torches, so they sent Zhou Baoyu to come urgently, and at the same time asked Zhou Baoyu to help mean.After all, in this harsh place, one more person means more strength.

However, when the two of them arrived, Zhang Qingshan still asked with a straight face: "You guys are not going to rest in the camp and prepare for the journey tomorrow. What are you doing with me?"

"Brother-in-law, I know I was wrong, shall we go back?"

Zhang Qingshan glanced at her and didn't answer, but Qin Fang continued: "Brother-in-law, even if you want to find fish, you don't have to run so far, just look around the camp."

"I have my plan." After speaking, Zhang Qingshan looked at Zhou Baoyu.Zhou Baoyu's answer was straightforward: "Brother, I will follow you on the third day of my participation in the revolution. I will go wherever you go. Don't leave me alone."

After finishing speaking, seeing Zhang Qingshan's face softened a bit, Zhou Baoyu boldly asked: "Brother, what are you going to do?"

"I was thinking that since bait is used for fishing, it is best to use live bait, so I plan to look around to see if I can dig some small insects like earthworms in other drier places. "

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang and Zhou Baoyu were obviously relieved: Since they just went to find a dry place around them instead of traveling alone, the risk factor was much lower.

Zhou Baoyu quickly took out a bundle of rope from the big backpack behind him and handed it to Zhang Qingshan.

After Zhang Qingshan took it, he said "Follow up closely", and then led the team to set off.

But Qin Fang didn't know what the rope was for, so she asked Zhou Baoyu in a low voice.After listening to Zhou Baoyu's answer, she glanced at Zhou Baoyu appreciatively: "I didn't expect that you are usually careless, but your brain occasionally has a flash of light."

"What do you mean by being careless? I've always been careful, but you didn't notice it."

"Is there?"

"do not have it?"

have to!The two little guys started bickering again.

Zhang Qingshan felt that the two of them talking would not only help him feel his presence, but also be able to judge from it that they were not in danger, so he didn't stop them.

When it was dark, there was fog around and the visibility was extremely poor.As a last resort, Zhang Qingshan not only lit the torch, but also specially reminded them to stop bickering and pay more attention to their feet.Finally, after thinking about it, he simply stretched out the rope and let them hold on to it, so as not to have a big accident.

Under the leadership of Zhang Qingshan, the three intentionally circled around the campsite about two meters away. As a result, all the torches were lit on the fourth one, but they got nothing.

Zhang Qingshan was a little reconciled, but it was not good to leave the two of them at this time, or let them go back alone. After thinking about it, he said to them: "There are still three torches, which are enough for us to go further to find photos. , if you two are worried, I will send you two back first."

"No!" After the two answered in unison, Qin Fang took the lead and said, "Brother-in-law, just lead the way, and I will definitely follow."

"me too."

"Okay then, let's search further, and if we haven't found the fifth torch after it's been burned, we'll come back."

Immediately, the three of them went directly to the northwest... This choice also had a purpose: if they didn't have time to return to the camp, or lost their way.Then, this northwest is also the direction of Zhou Ping's departure at dawn, and there is a great chance for everyone to meet.

However, God made a dumb joke with them.

When Zhang Qingshan finished speaking solemnly, he set off again and only walked forward about ten meters, but suddenly found a gray-black protrusion beside a puddle two or three meters ahead.Stepping forward to look, it turned out to be a dead big bird.The most surprising thing is that there are dense maggots on the body of this rotten bird-this is the best bait for fishing.

Zhang Qingshan showed his dullness and depression before, and laughed out loud.Zhou Baoyu also laughed, but Qin Fang didn't know what she was thinking, she laughed and laughed, and started to cry, Zhou Baoyu felt more and more that this woman was inexplicably insane.

But Zhang Qingshan seems to understand something: Qin Fang has been forcing himself to catch fish to eat, but he finally couldn't bear her persecution, and ventured into this area at night, which definitely caused huge psychological pressure on Qin Fang. Make her feel very guilty.And after searching all the way, she didn't find anything, which must have made Qin Fang blame herself more and more. This can be seen from the fact that she became less and less along the way, and finally became silent.Now, the maggots used for fishing have been found. For Qin Fang, this is no longer a question of whether she can eat fish, but has risen to a level that makes her feel less guilty.

Naturally, Zhang Qingshan would not express these thoughts, instead he bent down and caught the rotten big bird ashore, and said to them with a smile: "Baoyu, find something and put more insect repellents on it, we will think about it in the future." If you want to fish and eat again, you have to rely on it. Xiaofang, you light a torch. I'll go smoke a cigarette."

"No need!" Qin Fang took the torch first, turned around and handed it to Zhou Baoyu: "You bring a big torch, and I will install these."

As she said that, she took out a palm-sized iron box that was probably used for holding needles from her pocket, squatted down and put the maggots into the iron box one by one without feeling dirty or smelly, and said with a smile: " I prepared this secretly earlier, I thought it would be used to hold earthworms, but unexpectedly, the earthworms were not installed, but now they are used to hold maggots."

After Zhang Qingshan went to the water to wash his hands, he lit a cigarette and inhaled slowly, with a smile gradually appearing on his face: this was not only a release of pressure, but more importantly, he felt the kindness from Qin Fang and Zhou Baoyu. Happy and excited, even with him, he felt that the burden on his body was much lighter.

Because they even had this last thing, the three of them were more confident and walked back quickly in a good mood.

Then, impatiently, and even yelling to express happiness and expectation, he put bait on the hook, which attracted Zhou Ping, who was chatting and worrying, to come to see it.

What is depressing, or what I can't figure out is: the six people squatted by the puddle and chatted for half an hour, but there was still no movement from the fishing line.Later, it was still Zhou Ping who thought that everyone chatting so close to the puddle might have frightened the fish and made them afraid to eat the bait.It is suggested to leave one person here in turn to guard here, and the rest of the people go to sleep to preserve their energy and restore their physical strength for tomorrow's rush.

Maybe it's because everyone has huge expectations for Yu'er, and everyone seems a little excited.Lying on the ground, they chatted for more than an hour before falling asleep.Before Zhang Qingshan went to bed, he took a special look at Zhou Baoyu and Qin Fang who were squatting by the puddle—they insisted on guarding, but they were afraid of the dark. In order to take care of their fear of the dark, they were specially compiled as A group.Then, with the thought of "Yu'er's charm is so great, it can make the two of them watch silently without bickering", and gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I vaguely felt someone moving, Zhang Qingshan woke up with a start.Opening his eyes, he saw that Lao Zhou was about to stand up cautiously.Zhang Qingshan quickly got up and asked in a low voice: "Old Zhou, what are you going to do?"

"I'm worried about those two little guys, go and have a look."

Zhang Qingshan understood that Zhou Ping said he was going to have a look, but he was actually going to change the guard.Limara stayed at Zhou Ping: "Old Zhou, you have worked hard enough these few days, I'll go, you continue to rest."

"How can I do that? No matter how tired I am, I can't compare to you, or..."

"Okay, it's so decided." After finishing speaking, Zhang Qingshan bent down and grabbed the Tibetan clothes that fell on the ground, put them on his body, and walked quickly towards the fishing direction.

Zhou Ping could only sigh, looked at Zhang Qingshan respectfully, and fell asleep again.

After Zhang Qingshan walked a few steps, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it by the moonlight. It was only 32:[-] in the morning.

He rubbed his hands together, and after feeling the heat from his hands, he rubbed his face again. After stretching, he felt a little more comfortable on his body, and then walked forward quickly.

Originally, he was walking briskly, but from a distance, he saw Zhou Baoyu and Qin Fang sitting by the puddle with their shoulders leaning on each other, silent.Zhang Qingshan felt that both of them should be asleep, so he lowered his footsteps and walked over quietly.

When they were two or three meters behind the two of them, Qin Fang almost murmured, "Baoyu, I'm sleepy, it's time for you to get up and watch... Remember, this fish must let me Pull it up so that I can have an explanation with my brother-in-law... If you dare to be disobedient, I won't give you sweets in the future... Baoyu! Baoyu?"

Zhou Baoyu, who was sleeping in a daze, vaguely seemed to respond, and Qin Fang was probably extremely sleepy, and after the last two calls, there was no more to say.

These two snacks, for a fish, are so tenaciously persisting and competing.Zhang Qingshan shook his head and smiled bitterly, coughed twice, "Cough! Cough!", which woke the two of them up.

The two quickly stood up, and when they saw that it was Zhang Qingshan, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

"Okay, you two don't need to say anything, now, immediately, go to sleep over there immediately."

"But……"

"This is an order!"

"Yes!"

After Zhou Baoyu saluted Zhang Qingshan, he left quickly.Qin Fang hesitated and said, "Brother-in-law, you must wake me up after you catch a fish." She waited until Zhang Qingshan nodded helplessly, and then she started to chase Zhou Baoyu.

Zhang Qingshan sat down, looked at the three fishing rods, and after thinking about it for a while, he simply changed the bait on the fishing rods... Finally, maybe because he felt a little cold, he put on the Tibetan clothes that he wore on his body.

Sitting on the ground, smoking a cigarette, looking at the bright moon in the sky, imagining that Xiang Xueqin must be in a deep sleep at this moment, wondering if she has dreamed of herself in her dreams...
