Chapter 1495 Insomnia(2/2)
"Dried meat and horse meat should be edible too."
After Wei Ran sat down safely by the campfire again, he reminded, "We can all eat today... Squad leader, squad leader Zhang, tell me, how many pieces of dried meat should we each eat?"
"...Half a dollar for each person, half a dollar for each person, what do you think?"
Zhang Erwa almost gritted his teeth and made the decision. After becoming the acting squad leader of the cooking class, this young soldier seemed to have inherited the tradition of "stinginess" from squad leader Liu.
"Then half a piece"
Wei Ran was the first to express his agreement. The meat he picked off from the horse's leg weighed at least 15 kilograms. Although it sounded like a lot, there were six...but five of them, not to mention that no one knew
There is still a long way to go, and we really need to save some money.
Perhaps it was because Wei Ran suddenly fainted just now and frightened the young acting squad leader Zhang Erwa. He hurriedly took off two pieces of disposable lighter-sized horse meat jerky, cut them in half and distributed them to everyone, and then
Wei Ran forced a whole stick of dried horse meat into Wei Ran's hand, and then gave everyone a bowl of bone soup in a copper ladle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Objectively speaking, both the bone soup and the horse meat jerky in your hand have an unavoidable fishy smell, and even Wei Ran is not sure at all.
Will there be any problems if it is put into the stomach?
But he knew that at this moment, if he ate, he might have a bad stomach, but if he didn't eat, he might faint in the next second and never have a chance to wake up.
After taking a sip of the bone soup with a little bit of oil floating in it, Wei Ran just put the horse meat jerky he made by himself into his pocket, stuffed a few pieces of leather into his mouth with an expressionless expression, and chewed while thinking about what everyone was seeing.
The right situation.
Because of Squad Leader Liu's sacrifice, they got tarpaulins to protect them from wind and rain, enough food and containers to hold water, and all the water in those containers had been boiled by this time.
They even have a whole horsehide, which allows them to make enough shoes. If necessary, the horsehide can also be used to eat.
But at the same time, he also knew that maybe when it gets dark next time, they will face a new problem - there will be no firewood to burn.
Can...
Wei Ran raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already about seven or eight o'clock in the morning, but although the rain that had been raging all night had lightened up, it showed no sign of stopping.
It doesn’t rain when there is a shortage of water, and it doesn’t stop raining when there is no shortage of water. What a shame...
Wei Ran cursed secretly, silently picked up his own enamel jar and took a sip of the scalding hot soup with bark powder, and then rushed the pieces of leather in his mouth into his stomach.
After finishing breakfast in two or three mouths, they each refilled their cups of bone soup, which they could drink freely because of the rain. The dried horse meat was finally almost done, and coincidentally, even the charcoal fire was almost burnt out.
Instead of adding more firewood, which was extremely precious at this time, Zhang Erwa thought for a while and said, "Nurse Ji, it's up to you to preserve these dried meats."
"good"
Nurse Ji didn't refuse, picked up the bunch of still hot horse meat jerky, carefully put it into her lunch box, put it together with the party membership cards, and carefully closed the tray and lid, and then
She wrapped it carefully in a piece of rag and stuffed it into her satchel.
"Rest according to the original plan, wake up and set off." Zhang Erwa issued the order awkwardly, but the order was filled with too much uneasiness and hesitation.
Having said that, in fact, no one took a break. Instead, they still sat around the bonfire that was about to burn out. They first used the firewood collected earlier to cut several new kettle stoppers to block the mouths of the kettles filled with boiling water.
They were placed one by one in a bamboo basket and an extra bamboo hat was placed on top.
After everything was done, Wei Ran habitually picked up some unburned charcoal and saved it. Together with everyone else, he spread the remaining half-dried horsehide in the tent, spread the embers of the charcoal, and sucked away as much as possible.
After absorbing some of the water and eliminating some of the odor, I lay down in it.
Covering himself with the tattered blanket he had previously used as a tent, Wei Ran glanced at the little lama lying next to him, but was not in a hurry to talk to him.
Soon after, the only sound left in this much more spacious and less dripping tent was the sound of raindrops pounding overhead.
But... everyone was insomnia. Vaguely, he could still hear Zhang Erwa's suppressed sobs at the edge, and he could even see Li Zhuang on the other side, raising his arms from time to time because he was secretly wiping his tears.
You can even hear Nurse Ji sighing and turning over from time to time.
well...
