march to victory

"Hey~!"

When I came to the fishing place, there were only a few soldiers standing firm here, but Lao Wang, a master fisherman, disappeared. This is rare. After Zhang Qingshan made a loud questioning sound on purpose, he asked: "It's really strange today. Why is Lao Wang missing?"

"Report to the company commander!" A soldier pointed to the right and replied, "Old Wang...no! Comrade deputy platoon commander went over there to relieve his hand."

Half a month tonight, the earth is covered with a layer of faint blue mist, and visibility is not high.

Zhang Qingshan glanced at the direction of the soldier's finger, but didn't care, and asked casually while squatting down: "How many fish have you caught?"

"Report to the company commander, and I just caught one." The soldier was obviously a little nervous, not only did he answer in a satisfactory manner, but also revealed a bit of excitement and shame in his tone.

Zhang Qingshan understood that the reason why he was excited was probably due to being able to talk to himself - now, when the veteran talks to himself, there is no problem, just like a friend.But some fighters who have just joined are like this.Even, based on this, Zhang Qingshan can accurately judge whether the soldier talking to him is a newcomer or an old man.

The reason for the shame is even simpler: I feel a little embarrassed that I catch very few fish.

Naturally, Zhang Qingshan would not talk about this in a boring way, but took out a cigarette from his pocket, distributed it to everyone, returned to the spot and continued to squat down, chatting with the soldiers.

"Whether to report or not to report, everyone is their own comrades, don't be so particular about it in private, come, let's chat casually..."

After chatting for about 4 minutes, Zhang Qingshan glanced in the direction of Lao Wang's relief, feeling a little puzzled: Lao Wang's relief time is too long, can something happen?

"That's right! How long has Lao Wang been away?"

"Before you came, you had been gone for a few minutes."

In other words, it took at least eight or nine minutes before and after. This old Wang, it took too long to relieve, right?no!I have to check it out.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qingshan chatted casually with the soldiers, stood up, and walked towards the direction where Lao Wang relieved his hands.

It was just a guess, without knowing the specific situation, Zhang Qingshan was very calm and did not open his mouth to yell, so as not to alarm others and cause unnecessary trouble.

While paying attention to the situation under his feet, he observed the surrounding environment.

After walking for five or six minutes, about four or fifty meters away, suddenly!

"Humph! Humph~! Humph..."

There was a sound of humming a ditty.Zhang Qingshan smiled immediately: This old Wang is really interesting, he can hum a song even if he relieves himself, it seems that he is really in a good mood.

Zhang Qingshan's playfulness was also brought up, he immediately lightened his steps, and walked lightly in the direction of the voice.

After walking five or six meters away, I saw a faint figure squatting on the ground seven or eight meters away. Judging from the size, who is it?Zhang Qingshan's steps became lighter, determined to scare Lao Wang.

When he was still four or five meters away from Pharaoh, Zhang Qingshan accidentally stepped on a place where the water plants were loose, and a big blister came out, making a slight "boom!" sound.

Although the sound was slight, there was no sound except Lao Wang's humming.

Lao Wang turned around abruptly, and when he saw Zhang Qingshan, he couldn't help exclaiming "Company Commander~!", and stood up in shock.

Immediately, I remembered something, and quickly squatted down to clean up...

His stop immediately aroused Zhang Qingshan's doubts: Aren't you relieving yourself?Why didn't you even take off your pants?Moreover, when you saw it was me, squatting down in such a panic and getting busy, you must be trying to hide something?

Stepping forward side by side, he grabbed Lao Wang's hand and looked at what Lao Wang was about to hide, but was immediately stunned.

I saw a small piece of cloth on the ground, and the big and small pieces on the small cloth were all fish bones, without a trace of fish meat.

Based on what I know about Lao Wang, it is absolutely impossible for him to steal fish. Besides, everyone knows the amount of fish caught every day. Eat the head to hide, let alone hide so many fish - judging from this small pile of fish bones, at least a few fish will do, where did Lao Wang get these fish to eat?

Then, there is only one possibility left: Lao Wang is eating the fish bones spit out by the wounded and sick.

Zhang Qingshan's brows were raised, but his eyes were extremely painful, his voice was trembling, and he exclaimed: "Old Wang, you are..."

"Shh~!" Pharaoh pulled Zhang Qingshan to squat down with his backhand, and interrupted anxiously: "Company commander, don't be loud, don't be loud, it's not a big deal, listen to me..."

"I heard what you said, why did you pick up the leftover fish bones?" As he said that, Zhang Qingshan thought of two scenarios: one is that he must have found a reasonable reason to lie to the wounded and sick Collect the fish bones that cannot be eaten, otherwise, this matter would have been exposed long ago; the second is that he secretly hid aside alone, chewing these fish bones with his teeth to satisfy his hunger... I also blame myself for being careless, Every time I only pay attention to whether the soldiers are full, but never think about whether Lao Wang in the cooking class has eaten wild vegetables and whether he is full?

"Company commander, you misunderstood, things are not what you think at all."

Zhang Qingshan was really moved and angry: What moved me was that Lao Wang was like this. You know, Lao Wang is the monitor of the cooking squad. If he wants to eat enough, he has countless excuses. There is no way to eat enough, but now, he would rather eat the fish bones that others spit out than eat an extra bite of wild vegetables.What makes me angry is that I have never found out that this is my serious dereliction of duty!

At this time, I don't know if it was the first time I noticed it, or if I had such an idea in my heart, Zhang Qingshan discovered for the first time that Lao Wang was very big, definitely a big man.Thinking about how some people said in the past, Lao Wang was just a big fat man, and looking at him now, Zhang Qingshan felt that Lao Wang was very big.

Perhaps because he was angry with himself, Zhang Qingshan actually held his temper and said in a deep voice: "Okay! I want to see what kind of explanation you can give me?"

"Actually..." Old Wang pondered for a moment, in Zhang Qingshan's view, he was more and more sure that he was making up a reason, but he didn't expose it, and listened.

"Actually, I have a problem, that is, if I don't chew some bones every few days, I feel uncomfortable all over...Really, Lao Zhang, don't look at me like that, what I said is true."

"Then why don't you ask Comrade Xiaofang to show you?" After finishing speaking, Zhang Qingshan actually laughed, not because of anything else, but because he thought of Lao Wang's reason is so absurd, and he even wanted to shout "I know, You are hungry for this problem."

Maybe Lao Wang thinks this reason is good, so the more he said it, the more he said it, and he replied with a smile: "My old problem, it's useless for her to look at it. Besides, it's useless for her to look at it. Medicines are in short supply now. I don’t need to waste medicine for my little problem, it’s better to save these medicines and leave them to comrades who need them more.”

Zhang Qingshan stared at him for five seconds in a daze, and then laughed—obviously, not only did Zhang Qingshan think of something, we don’t know, but one thing is certain: he not only took Lao Wang’s face into consideration, but also want to join in.Because he felt that this little secret was actually not bad, at least, the two of them saved their rations, and they could eat more for everyone—saving a little bit, even a bite, is good.

He glanced back like a thief, turned around, and whispered to Old Wang, "Old Wang, let me tell you, actually I also have this problem."

Now, it was Old Wang's turn to be surprised, he looked at Zhang Qingshan in astonishment, and there was a question in his mind: I made up this reason, does it really have such a disease?

"So, from now on, if you want to gnaw these bones, you must call me..." At this point, Zhang Qingshan pondered for a while, put away his smiling face, and said to Lao Wang in a serious manner: "Besides, it's not easy to gnaw like this. Well, it's nothing tasteful, we two can find a small kettle cut in half, take some weeds and cook these fish bones together, and add some salt, in this way, it will not only cure our old problems, but also fill our stomachs. Full stomach. Do you think my method is good?"

This method is actually based on one basic point: there is enough firewood to start a small stove.However, because of the proposal made by Zhang Qingshan at the last meeting, weeds were used as firewood, and the comrades found that it was much easier to sleep on the weeds, which aroused great enthusiasm among the comrades. Up to now, every time The dried weeds are indeed enough to support this small stove.

"Good! Good!" Lao Wang said with a smile: "As expected of the company commander, he sees farther than ordinary soldiers like us, and thinks carefully... Company commander, then let's do this now?"

"Of course!" Zhang Qingshan said carelessly, "You are the monitor of the cooking squad, so you naturally know how to sneak all the guys over."

"Okay! Just wait, I'll get it right away."

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Qingshan suddenly thought of an important question, and couldn't help wanting to know immediately: "Old Wang, I'm very curious. When you collected these fish bones, what reason did you find?"

"It's very simple!" Pharaoh said with a smile on his face, "I told them that the fish bones will soften after cooking for a long time, and when the time comes, you can bend them into fishhooks with your hands. They are good hooks for fishing." , is better than anything..." Speaking of this, Pharaoh couldn't help laughing smugly, and said: "I didn't expect that they believed it and kept saying that I was worthy of being the old squad leader of the cooking class. All they knew was Much. Hey! Hey!"

Zhang Qingshan nodded solemnly and said: "Old Wang, I now believe that fish bones can indeed be bent after being boiled for a long time."

"hey-hey!"

Old Wang laughed dryly and left.

Obviously, both of them knew the true meaning of this matter, and also understood the absurdity of these reasons, but neither of them revealed it, and both maintained the preciousness of this secret.

To sum it up, it's still the same sentence 'It's good to save a little more for the soldiers. '

Looking at the back of Lao Wang, and then looking down at the fish bones at his feet, Zhang Qingshan sighed, feeling a lot...
