1942, I lived on hunting

Maodan finally set up the tent, made the bed, and turned towards the campfire with a shovel in his hand.

"Li Hao, why aren't you talking? I seem to really smell the smell of fried meat, it smells so good! Could it be that I haven't eaten meat for a long time? Is this an illusion?"

Before Li Hao could answer, there was a rustling sound in the bushes not far away, and Li Lahu pushed aside the bushes and came out. While walking towards this side, he asked loudly: "What delicious food are you making? It smells so good?"

Come on, let’s answer together when he arrives!

When Li Lahu came over, Li Hao lifted the lid of the pot, and the aroma came with the steam. Li Lahu and Maodan sniffed around the pot, and occasionally let out an "ah". Especially Maodan's big face, his expression was like Yue Yunpeng imitating Yu Qian's intoxicated face after smoking. Li Hao got goose bumps all over his body!

"Take the lunch box, take the lunch box! If you don't have the lunch box, why are you sucking around the pot? How can you get full by sucking air?"

Hearing this, the two men moved quickly, their movements were smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that they were trained to fight for food. Even the students who fought for food in the cafeteria in the future would call him "big brother"! As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, the two men sat upright around the small pot with their lunch boxes, waiting for Li Hao to serve them food.

Li Hao first scooped some noodles for each of them with chopsticks, then scooped a few spoonfuls of meat with a spoon and covered them. Finally, he poured some soup into each lunch box. It was like the picture in the advertisement marked for reference only! When Li Hao was a child, he watched the instant noodle advertisement and always craved the braised beef noodles. The big greasy beef looked delicious! It was not until his mother bought it for him that he realized that there were a few small words in the advertisement for reference only! The braised beef noodles without beef are as disappointing as the wife cake without wife!

Li Hao asked them to eat first, and the two of them lowered their heads and ate without raising their heads to catch their breath. Li Hao also took the lunch box and started eating. For some reason, he felt that the food tasted a bit strange just now, but now, looking at his friends eating, he suddenly felt that it was a bit like the food brought back from a banquet, and it became a delicious dish with a mixture of five flavors!

Li Hao ate half full, picked up the wine bottle and unscrewed the lid. He just wanted to try some flavor, but was interrupted by Maodan.

Without a cup, Li Hao poured some liquor into his toothbrush cup and tasted it. Fortunately, it was not a sauce-flavored liquor. Li Hao did not like sauce-flavored liquor and felt that it was not to his taste. Of course, it could also be that he did not have money to drink Maozi, so it was not authentic!

Li Lahu and Maodan had already finished a large lunch box full of rice and were savoring the food with their chopsticks in their mouths.

Li Hao: "Are you two drinking? If not, just serve yourself some rice and continue eating. Eat quickly, or else the noodles will become too thick and won't taste good."

Both of them shook their heads and said they didn't drink, then gathered around the small pot to scoop noodles and rice. This time they obviously ate slowly, and even took down the dry food roasted next to the campfire, and each of them ate one with instant noodles.

Li Hao didn't have as big an appetite as them, so he served some more meat as a side dish and drank his own wine!

Li Hao: "Don't you guys like drinking?"

Li Lahu and Maodan both shook their heads.

Li Lahu: "You can't drink alcohol during the mission. The instructor specifically told me before we left. You must be vigilant and not be careless. Drinking alcohol can easily cause mistakes. You can drink it yourself, but remember to leave some for me to take back. I can drink a little when I can't sleep at night because of the pain when I return to the village. Maodan and I will take turns on duty tonight, so you don't have to worry about it!"

Li Hao: "There are still two bottles here that haven't been opened. If you don't drink them, I can't finish them. I'll give them all to you!"

Li Hao didn't have a drinking habit, he only thought of taking a sip when there was something delicious, so he poured two liang of wine into the glass and stopped drinking after finishing it. Li Hao finished the remaining meat in the lunch box, and when he walked a short distance, he poured the remaining soup in the lunch box to the side.

Maodan saw it and asked quickly: "Li Hao, what are you doing?"

Li Hao: "Nothing to do, just pouring swill!"

Maodan: "My dear, please leave now!" He quickly put down his bowl and came over to take the lunch box. He walked to the campfire, dug a hole with an engineering shovel and poured the food into it.

Maodan: "There are many hunting rules. I will tell you in detail when I have time. When we hunt in this country, if we eat in the wild, we must dig a hole and bury the leftover bones or broth. Although it is an old rule passed down from generation to generation, there are certain reasons for it. Many animals have a keen sense of smell, and they can easily find us when they smell food at night. If they pounce on us when we are asleep or not paying attention, it will be easy for something to happen!"

Li Lahu: "Our rules are different. We put the leftover bones into the fire. It's basically the same principle!"

Li Hao: "Okay, tell me more of these stories when you have time. You will know the rules after a while."

Li Lahu: "Some rules are just superstition. Some rules are the experience summed up by our predecessors, but they are just changed to let future generations pay attention to them. The rules in different places may be different, and you don't have to listen to them all!"

Li Hao ate half of the box, and the two of them finished the rest of the pot of rice, and each of them ate some dry food. After the meal, Maodan cleaned up the mess. Li Hao and Li Lahu took a walk to digest the food, and then lay down to rest.

Li Hao asked Li Lahu to sleep in the tent, while he and Maodan slept in the open air. Maodan worked very carefully, making a bed with thick hay, took off his shoes and got into the sleeping bag, which was soft and comfortable. Li Hao lay in the sleeping bag and looked at the sky, which was dark without a single star.

Li Lahu sat at the entrance of the tent and took out his pipe, puffing on it. He looked up at the sky and said, "It looks like the weather may change soon. I guess the first snow of this year will fall soon."

Li Hao: "Oh! You old man, can you still look at the sky?"

Li Lahu: "How could I not know? I don't even need to look. Whenever the weather is about to change, I feel a dull pain in my body. How could I not know?"

Li Hao: "Well, can't your old injury be cured? Find a doctor to perform surgery and take out the shrapnel. It will be fine. You will feel the pain once, but you will benefit from it for the rest of your life!"

Li Lahu: "Bullshit! Our hospital was built two years ago, and my old comrades dragged me to trouble the doctors. When I checked there, I found that the shrapnel in my body had grown together with my bones and muscles. That's all I can do!

Li Hao: "Then I'll get you some painkillers when I get back to the village. If the pain is too severe, take some. Don't take too much, otherwise the effect won't be good later, and you'll easily become addicted to the drugs!"

Li Lahu: "Forget it. It would be better to send those good medicines to the hospital for the wounded. Our hospital is in dire need of medicines right now. It's OK as long as this doesn't affect my survival!"
