1942, I lived on hunting

The stinky Taoist priest stopped talking and started eating and drinking. He had to admit that the smoked bacon was delicious, and the simple meal was elevated to a higher level. Finally, he made a bowl of meat noodles for everyone. The chili oil was red and the vines were crisp. A bite filled the mouth with fragrance, as if all the cells in the body were cheering. Only the village elders were not satisfied, saying that it was the wrong season, otherwise the pea tips would be better.

The vine vegetable is water spinach, which is in season in midsummer and tastes really good. However, the Sichuanese's favorite is the pea tip, which has a fragrant taste, a thick texture but is tender, smooth and delicious. It is a superior vegetable for stir-frying, making soup, and hot pot, and is highly favored by the Sichuanese.

After dinner, the village elder arranged for everyone to rest. When Fan Mazi's father was woken up by his mother at noon the next day, the stinking Taoist priest had already left and he was never seen again. Some people said that he had ruined his Taoist practice and died a few years after returning to Wawu Mountain. Others said that he was still alive. Some people had seen him in Chengdu Prefecture, but he had become crazy and no one could recognize him.

Decades passed in the blink of an eye, and the Minjiang River tributary at the foot of the mountain returned to its original state, and the original site of Liujiaba Village was covered with trees and vegetation. Only the cave remained unchanged, and every time after a heavy rain, groups of bearded fish would still emerge, but no other fish were seen.

…………………………Dividing line………………

This is a story that Fan Mazi's father told him when he was a child. He always thought that his father made up a story to amuse the child. He also asked the elderly in the village, and they all said that the earthquake was real and the story of the walking dragon was purely fictional. He didn't expect that this cave really existed!

After playing for a while at the entrance of the cave, they didn't see anything magical. The young people lost their patience and several of them clamored to go hunting again. Before leaving, several friends agreed to come here after the heavy rain to see if there were any fish. However, as everyone grew up and went about their own business, this matter was forgotten. I guess no one went back to see it! Li Lahu has not returned to his hometown for many years!

If Li Hao and his friends hadn't pestered him to tell them stories, he wouldn't have remembered the story he had heard when he was young. Then he asked Li Hao and his friends if they believed it. Li Hao and his friends all said they did. Li Lahu laughed and said that he didn't believe it. It was all made up by some villagers who were bored. You told me, I told you, and the story that was finally spread was so exaggerated!

Dinner was still pork soup. Li Hao was still immersed in the afternoon's story, so he didn't eat much before returning to the courtyard.

Li Hao returned to the courtyard and planned to install a stove in the house. There was no other way, it was too cold that day. Li Hao chose a simple wood stove from the system mall, exchanged it directly and installed it in the inner room. He used a saw blade to cut a small hole in the window to place the exhaust pipe, and then easily assembled the stove and exhaust pipe.

I moved some firewood from the shed at the kitchen door, chopped it into suitable sizes with an axe, and put it into the stove and lit it. After a while, the room felt much warmer. I also bought a hot water bottle from the system mall, and finally I could sleep well at night.

It's not cold when it snows, but it's cold when it melts. Li Hao basically stayed indoors for the next few days, and never came out unless it was urgent. Only then did he realize how terrifying the extreme low temperatures in the north were. When the cold wind blew, it felt like a razor cutting his face, and it hurt so much that after staying outside for a while, he couldn't feel the existence of his ears. It's no exaggeration to say that he even jogged to the toilet, going there and coming back quickly.

A few days later, the snow outside was slowly melted by the warm winter sun, and the melted snow water was greedily absorbed by the dry land, and finally the ground was no longer muddy. The villagers returned to their normal lives. Some old men and women in the village sat in the corners in groups of three or four to bask in the sun, and the guerrillas also resumed training. The instructor came to inform Li Hao that they should set off and asked Li Hao to pack up and get ready.

A broken home is worth a fortune, and the special operations team is no exception. Not only do they have weapons, equipment, ammunition and supplies, but they also have a lot of messy things to pack. They were the first to get the news, but in the end, it was Li Hao who was the first to prepare. There was no other way, who let Li Hao have the space! Some important things were directly put into the space, and unimportant personal items and ammunition were directly stuffed into the pockets of the backpack, put on the bulletproof vest, and finally put on the coat and tactical vest, put on the backpack and rifle, put on the helmet and went out.

When the instructor saw Li Hao's simple and neat appearance, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Li Hao! We are not holding an emergency assembly, nor are we carrying out a combat mission. We are moving! The Tianjia Village we are going to is even more remote than this village. It takes 40 kilometers to go back and forth. Have you packed all your things? Don't forget to come back to get anything, it will be troublesome."

Li Hao felt that he had nothing else to bring. If that didn't work, he could go to the system mall to exchange it. But the instructor was worried and wanted to bring people to pack it for him. Several people went into the house and tossed around. Not only did they dismantle the wood stove and load it onto the mule cart, they also loaded bedding, hot water bottles, oil lamps and other miscellaneous items onto the cart. After loading, they asked Li Hao to think about whether there was anything else he hadn't brought. If anyone had borrowed something and hadn't returned it, he could take the opportunity to ask for it.

Li Hao had no choice but to wait for them to pack up slowly. He took the opportunity to sneak out to Li Lahu to ask for his own animal traps and wire rope snares, and also said goodbye to Dong Hongjun and the people in the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the place, Lao Yang, Li Lahu and Dong Hongjun were also packing their luggage. It turned out that they would also go there as logistics personnel. When Lao Yang saw Li Hao coming, he pulled him to help pack. Logistics were more troublesome. Not only did they have to bring pots and pans, kitchen knives and rolling pins, but they also had to prepare food, frozen meat, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. There were so many things. Fortunately, the instructors came to help after they had packed up, and the group of people finally prepared everything. The group loaded more than ten carriages before they were ready to set off!

Captain Li and his men followed the convoy to see them off, and they would also bring the convoy back later. They had to be careful, because the bandits in Taihang Mountain were starving this winter, and if someone set his sights on the convoy on its return trip, it would be troublesome.

Captain Li asked the instructor to take part of the carriages and set off first. He led Li Hao to drive another part of the carriages around a corner to deliver some supplies to the hospital and also took their medical soldiers with them.

Li Hao has never been to the hospital. He has always wanted to come and take a look but has never made the trip. He doesn’t know what the hospital looks like at this time.

The carriage to the hospital was loaded with food, gauze, frozen meat and fruit. The road was gravel and dirt, and it was difficult to walk. Not only could people not sit in the carriage, but they had to help push the carriage from time to time. It was not until after 2 pm that we finally arrived at the destination.
