Chapter 318 Helpless Numbness

Zhang Qingshan stared blankly at the two corpses in front of him, there was no sadness or disappointment in his eyes, even, there was no meaning, but it was not that kind of emptiness... It should be called numbness!

Indeed, along the way, I have heard too many wounded and sick people who sacrificed their ego and fulfilled their ego in order not to drag down their comrades in arms; I have seen too many corpses and bones.How many times I rushed up happily, and how many times I returned with disappointment. From anticipation to pain to grief, I walked step by step, hit again and again, and the rest was numb.

Seeing Zhang Qingshan standing there in a daze, Qin Fang knew in her heart that she was definitely not alive.But with the last trace of luck, she rushed over and asked loudly, "Brother-in-law, how are you doing?"

There was no answer, and even Zhang Qingshan didn't turn around, as if he didn't hear it.

And Zhou Baoyu, who followed closely behind, immediately slowed down, the disappointment in his eyes flashed past, and then he was indifferent: Yes, after so many expectations and blows, no matter how young he is, it is enough, It is absolutely possible to face this kind of indifference.

Qin Fang, who had never experienced this kind of thing a few times, suddenly realized that the last trace of expectation had dissipated, and her pace gradually slowed down.

When she came to Zhang Qingshan and took a look, she covered her mouth with tears streaming down her face.

These should be two corpses that had been sacrificed for two to three days, because their complexions were faintly bluish-black, most likely due to food poisoning and long-term lack of nutrition, which led to their current complexions.And their bodies haven't rotted yet, but they can faintly smell a faint rotten smell when they get closer, obviously they are not far from rottenness...

Zhang Qingshan glanced at Qin Fang, took a step forward, squatted down, and touched the two of them, but there was nothing there.In the end, they had to silently take off the five-pointed red star on the two-person military cap, and silently put it in their own pockets.

Standing up and looking around, seeing that there was no suitable place for burial, I could only sigh.

Turning to them, he said, "Okay, let's stand in a row and say goodbye to our comrades."

Zhou Baoyu was already familiar with this situation, and upon hearing this, he stepped forward and stood to the left of Zhang Qingshan.But Qin Fang was obviously not used to it, looked at Zhang Qingshan in astonishment, and couldn't help asking: "Why don't they bury them?"

Zhang Qingshan just stared at the two corpses without answering.But Zhou Baoyu replied: "Miss Xiaofang, look around us, there are water plants all around us, how to bury them? It's better to let them lie like this, so as not to disturb their rest."

Qin Fang looked around unwillingly, and finally, she lowered her head and tears began to fall again.However, she consciously stood beside Zhou Baoyu.

"stand at attention!"

"Farewell to comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms, go all the way! Salute!"

The three saluted the two corpses at the same time.

"The ceremony is over! Let's go." After speaking, Zhang Qingshan turned around and left without looking back.Zhou Baoyu followed, but Qin Fang was a little uncomfortable with this kind of indifference, but she knew in her heart that this was the helplessness of reality, so she had to look back at the two of them, as if she wanted to remember their faces, but in the end, she had no choice but to leave .

After going out for more than 100 meters, Zhang Qingshan turned around, lit a cigarette, smoked while watching, and waited.Zhou Baoyu and Qin Fang didn't know why, and it was obvious that Zhang Qingshan stopped, so they had to stop and look back.

"Brother-in-law, what are you looking at?"

"Don't look at anything, just wait for Lao Zhou and the others."

Soon, the three of Zhou Ping came to the corpses of the two comrades-in-arms.

Zhou Ping looked at the two corpses, then raised his head and glanced at Zhang Qingshan and the others, and then helped Peng Bing and Wu Shaohong off the horse. After the three saluted the two corpses, they got on the horse, and Zhou Ping Leading the other two horses, they walked towards Zhang Qingshan.Other than that, there was no pause - not indifference, but numbness from too much!

After meeting up, everyone looked at each other, nodded slightly, no one said anything, and continued to set off.It's just that everyone was more or less uncomfortable, so none of them was in the mood to speak, and they hurried on their way, even Qin Fang.It can be seen that although everyone is a little numb to such things, they still feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts, or it is more appropriate to say grief and indignation.

"Why don't you talk anymore?" After walking for a distance, seeing that no one spoke, the atmosphere was very oppressive. Zhang Qingshan felt that he was leading the team, and he couldn't let everyone be so depressed that it made people feel like walking. It was a lot heavier, so I turned around and said with a smile: "How can there be no immortal in a revolution? Just let everyone get used to life and death. Well, don't worry too much about what happened just now... Xiaofang, I haven't heard you sing for a long time. Come on, you start and lead everyone to sing a song to make the atmosphere more active."

Among the six, Qin Fang was the most disappointed, who had no intention of singing.But she is not stupid, she knows that what Zhang Qingshan said is for everyone's benefit, and, as a nurse, the long-term habits let her know when to restrain all kinds of emotions in her mind, just to make the patient feel comfortable Rehabilitation—Although this is what nurses should do, but because of the long-term lack of food and medicine, everyone has to use this method to make patients feel comfortable and make up for the lack of medicine from a psychological point of view. This is no way Method.

"Okay!" Qin Fang replied with a smile, and then sang loudly: "Soldiers must be the Red Army, and cooperate with workers and peasants to fight the enemy! Get ready~sing!"

Qin Fang has been working in the ward for a long time, and there are many patients. Even if she has time, she is desperately learning medical and nursing knowledge. How can she have much time to learn other things? Therefore, she can sing, and it must be a song that everyone can sing. There are not many head.The song I am singing now is because I heard it sung by others after I joined the Red Army. I thought it was very good and reflected her ideals, but I could only hum a few words. Later, Xiang Xueqin taught her during break of.

"Every soldier must be a member of the Red Army, cooperate with workers and peasants to fight the enemy, and fight against Lao Jiang's reactionaries..."

Along the way, everyone got used to it, so they let go.Several people also sang along, and for a while, the singing broke the dead silence of the world and spread far away.Although the individual voices are not very good, but together, there is a majestic feeling of vicissitudes of life, which makes people feel...

Perhaps because of the sadness and anger of the corpses of the two comrades-in-arms before, everyone's emotions gradually merged into the singing at this time, so there was a tendency to not stop singing.

They didn't stop until lunch break.Although each voice was a little hoarse, everyone had a smile on their faces, and the previous sense of grief and indignation buried in their hearts had long since dissipated.

After resting for half an hour, everyone continued on their way.

Around four twenty in the afternoon!

"Brother-in-law, the weather looks like it's going to rain, and the sun is about to set. When are we going to camp today?"

Zhang Qingshan looked at his pocket watch, then at the orange sun, turned his head and smiled at Qin Fang: "I knew you wanted to go fishing, right?"

It was only at noon that Zhang Qingshan criticized him for being unorganized and undisciplined. Now that Zhang Qingshan said that again, Qin Fang bowed her head a little guilty, and quickly swept Zhang Qingshan. Seeing Zhang Qingshan smiling, she felt a little courageous. It's louder, but the volume is still a bit low: "Hmm! I want to drink some more fish soup."

In fact, Qin Fang, who was covered in mud marks, wanted to say: I really want to take a bath, this mud is smelly and uncomfortable.

"I'm making you hungry. Well, let's keep going. If we encounter dry places like dirt slopes on the road, we can rest wherever we encounter them."

Qin Fang laughed when she heard that.

On the other hand, Zhou Baoyu asked recklessly, "If I didn't meet him, wouldn't I have to keep walking?"

"Thank you!" Zhang Qingshan turned to stare at him, and replied angrily: "Then you can stand on guard overnight."

Zhou Baoyu glanced at Zhang Qingshan depressedly, and immediately shut up.

Qin Fang also glared at Zhou Baoyu's dissatisfaction with his words, and threatened in a low voice: "If you really don't catch one, hum! Baoyu, you can catch all the fish tonight. And, if you don't catch anything, Tomorrow morning you go to touch the fish, anyway, if I don't eat the fish, you will feel better."

Zhou Baoyu touched the back of his head with a depressed expression on his face.

But Qin Fang was more depressed than him, and subconsciously patted the mud on her body—in fact, most of the mud had already been patted off, leaving only mud marks all over her body, making her look gray and black, making her She always wants to pick and wash, but Zhang Qingshan said that the water is very cold at this time, and it is easy to catch cold when washing, so after camping, I will boil a pot of hot water for her to wash comfortably.Therefore, Qin Fang was the one who was most looking forward to having a place to camp on a slope, so she was also the most angry at Zhou Baoyu's unreasonable words.

After walking for another ten minutes, Wu Shaohong suddenly pointed to the front left and shouted: "There is a big slope over there..."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, especially Qin Fang, who stood on tiptoe, straightened the palm of her right hand, placed it on her brow, and made a look-out gesture.

But after Wu Shaohong paused for a while, she exclaimed in surprise: "There seems to be someone on the slope."

Everyone smiled again, with surprise and anticipation still in their eyes, and Qin Fang still ran to Wu Shaohong most actively, stretched out her hands and shouted directly: "Brother Wu, give me a hand."

"Then you promise, this time you won't run over impulsively and accidentally fall into the swamp."

"I promise I won't run away... Brother Ang, pull me up quickly!" Fortunately, there were mud marks on her face, which made it hard to see that she was blushing.

After getting on the horse, Wu Shaohong took the initiative to hand the binoculars to her, and pointed to the front left and said to her, "Look, is there someone sitting there?"

Although it was far away, but this time it was indeed seen clearly, and there was indeed a person sitting there.

In order not to be mistaken, Qin Fang deliberately watched it twice, and finally laughed wildly: "Ha! Ha! That's great, I finally met a comrade-in-arms."

Zhang Qingshan and the others also had smiles on their faces: First, they have never met two waves of comrades-in-arms in one day. Proportionally speaking, the chance of survival for the comrade-in-arms they encounter is much higher-the luck can't be so bad. the point?Second, if the other party is sitting back to back, there is still a possibility of supporting them back to back before death, but if the other party can sit alone, they are definitely alive.

This time, Qin Fang was suppressed by Zhang Qingshan's eyes. However, she still ran to the front to lead the team, and the others also thought that they would see their new comrades soon. Unknowingly, a lot faster...
