Chapter 4 Deserted Village

If according to Han Zhenhan's idea, everyone was washed downstream by the river, then they should be in the enemy-occupied area now.

There is no difference between riding a horse in the enemy-occupied area and seeking death. More than 800 people were unlikely to act collectively. In the end, Han Zhenhan decided to move forward in a spell-shaped shape, and the distance between the left, center and right was a mile away.

A triangular three-talent formation was formed, so that no matter which direction the enemy was welcomed, they could advance, attack, retreat or defend.

A group of people walked seven or eight miles and saw no people. The weeds everywhere rose more than one meter high. Han Zhenhan and his friends walked on this plain, and they all lowered their bodies. Their yellow military uniforms were exactly the same as the dead grass that was in autumn.

After walking with his body bent for a long time, Han Zhenhan was also tired. He sat on the ground and the guards beside him, Shunzi squatted down, but he became interested in the land. He groped for a long time.

"Captain, this is the land!"

"Ah? Ah, yes, it's the earth!"

"Captain! It's the land!"

"Yes! I know this is the land!"

"This is a place where you can grow food!"

"Yes! You can plant food by pulling out the grass."

The two of them were attracted by each word, and Lao Fan, who was in the same team as Yao Ran, heard two words and Lao Fan laughed out loud. He covered his mouth and said,

"Shunzi means that it turns out that it is just a food planter here, because no one is serving him in panic."

"Ah?" Han Zhenhan understood this time, and he also lay on the ground and touched him, because he had grown up in the Shuxiang Sect since he was a child, and then he traveled across the ocean and had never dealt with the land.

The only thing I know is that the things I do with civil engineering homework were books borrowed by friends who were reading from Western pasta before returning to China.

Of course, based on the principle of taking on the skills, why do you have to pay back? Those military theories and army tactical guidance were carried back to the country by Han Zhenhan.

Regarding the land, Han Zhenhan only knows what kind of soil work to do, how deep the digging is, how wide the internal tunnel should be, and where the ammunition box is more suitable to be taken, it is not easy to cause hidden dangers.

Han Zhenhan knew that there was no arable land or wasteland. But if they had been abandoned here along the way, things would be terrible.

Such a large area of ​​fertile land is so deserted, what are the people here eating? This question becomes terrifying to think about it carefully. Han Zhenhan has only seen such a large area of ​​wasteland in the west of the United States.

"Report!"

"speak"

"A village was found in front of you!"

Han Zhenhan was delighted when he heard this and finally could eat a hot meal.

"Notify the second and third battalions on both sides to speed up and go to the village in front to rest. The discipline will disturb the people and punish the people with heavy punishment! The guard company is responsible for the guards' guards. Do not fire without authorization and do not disturb the villagers."

The order was announced aloud. The team of more than 800 people could feel the joy in everyone's hearts without cheering.

I think I will have good luck in the future when I survived the disaster in Zhongtiao Mountain. A small village completely appeared in front of everyone in the new recruits.

But the surroundings of this village were terrifyingly quiet, except for the sound of northwest winds blowing, the barking of dogs in the wild.

Han Zhenhan felt ache. He thought of what he had just thought of in the farmland, and all the beasts were shrouded. Han Zhenhan said with red eyes, lowered his head, and said.

"The Second Battalion, the Third Battalion encircles the left and right, be careful, the First Battalion comes with me to take a look!"

This village is very poor, with no bricks and tile houses, all of which are old houses with adobe bricks. The thatch on the houses has long disappeared, leaving only some broken walls and ruins on them.

When you walk to the middle of the village, there is a yard with a larger courtyard with a wall higher than other families. The door outside the courtyard is closed.

Han Zhenhan and his group were full of doubts and silent. Han Zhenhan stopped outside the largest courtyard gate in the village and spoke,

"Go and have a look!"

Shunzi, who was following Han Zhenhan, carried the rifle in his arms on his shoulders and trotted forward a few steps. As soon as he pushed the door, the two seemingly thick doors should have been pushed open with great effort.

But the two doors fell down directly with the power of Shunzi. Then there was a dull sound, and the two wooden doors fell down, slapping the ground and smashing a piece of smoke and dust.

Shunzi covered his mouth and coughed and retreated to Han Zhenhan. Not long after the dust fell to the ground, the appearance of the yard appeared in the eyes of Han Zhenhan and others.

"This is a deserted village!"

The speaker was Staff Commander Wang, the third battalion commander, who was bypassed from the east end of the village. Han Zhenhan did not answer, but walked directly into the large courtyard, without the imagined bones and the thickness of dust on the ground.

The courtyard looks like an old Beijing courtyard house, with a main house, a wing room, and a livestock shed. It looks like a wealthy family.

The dustpans, baskets, water tanks were poured on the ground in the yard, and the thatch that had not been scraped out. The door of the main room was stuck on the door frame, and the paper that was covered with muddy doors and windows had long disappeared.

Because the thatch on the roof has long disappeared, the sun shines on the beams and roofs of the house. You can see the entire situation in the room through the window.

There were a few rats squeaking on the bed in the room. The quilt on the bed had been formed into a rat nest by the haystacks brought by the mice. The most important thing was that the rat nest was located in the chest of a bone.

This was the first white bone that Han Zhenhan saw in this village. He patted the mud wall of the house. He turned around and looked at the depressed brothers and said,

"I asked my brothers to find a clean explanation to live in the house. There is a wall that can always block the wind. There is no food. I will pick ten old horses to eat! You can't starve to death. Let the boss Bai of the kitchen team see if there is any problem with the well water in the village."

After a series of orders were issued, everyone began to work hard, and Han Zhenhan looked at the guards around him and stood there in a daze, laughing and scolding,

"What are you thinking? If you should find a horse, you should clean up the house. What do I do? I can eat it as a meal!"

More than a hundred brothers on his face smiled and dispersed. Seeing that the people were almost running away, Han Zhenhan quickly called a few people, pointed to the house inside and the door panel at the entrance of the courtyard and said,

"Carry out the room in this yard and carry a door panel over. I think that one is quite solid."

Hundreds of brothers have slept in camps and fields. Although cleaning a house is not as careful as a woman, it is better because it is efficient. The wells in the village can still be used, but the water is a bit astringent. It is a diving well.

When killing the horse, several soldiers from Shanxi wiped their tears, but in the end they could not resist their own stomachs. People could not afford to live. Is this horse useful to keep it?

After sunset, Han Zhenhan asked the people in the kitchen to make fires and make meals in some used houses. All three camps came to Han Zhenhan, and several of them studied the current situation together. A map was laid on the door panel.

The door panel was placed on the millstone beside the cafeteria. Then the fire could be seen clearly. The second battalion commander was Sun Hu who was promoted during the war, and his arms were hung like Han Zhenhan.

"A village shouldn't be so deserted."

Lao Fan said, and at the same time he expressed his doubts.

"When I came here, I also noticed that the wasteland outside is full of good fertile land. What do you think this is?"

As he said that, he took out a wheat ear from his top pocket. However, the wheat ears were very small and there were not many fruits on it.

"Well, Lao Fan is right. This place was a good place, but it shouldn't have been deserted for so long. At least for more than ten years, no one has lived here."

"Yes, when we came, there were more than a few hundred acres of land on our way, and we couldn't see the north when we walked over to the second battalion. Even if this is an enemy-occupied area, it wouldn't be deserted for so long."

Han Zhenhan reached out to interrupt their words, and then spoke by himself,

"Well, I understand. This way, tonight, the company will be on duty for four hours, boiling water and scalding the soldiers' feet. Those who are not washed can't sleep. We will have to walk far tomorrow, so we have to figure out where this is."

After a few people studied it, Han Zhenhan was driven back to his camp. Han Zhenhan returned to Shunzi and others to clean up the main room. The Eight Immortals Table inside is still usable.

The meat given to Han Zhenhan was a large piece of rib meat and a large piece of pure lean meat. Because there was not much salt, I didn't directly apply it on the meat. The soldiers all drank some salt water.

Han Zhenhan has a small plate of salt here that can be used to dip in meat. In fact, there is still a lot of salt in the kitchen team, but why is the squad leader of the kitchen team in the regiment headquarters called Boss Bai?

Because Boss Bai is a very good quarantine officer and can also cook. The only one he is a battalion-level cadre whom he asked to come to Han Zhenhan.

But after he arrived, he cooked for Han Zhenhan in the regiment headquarters, and Han Zhenhan really didn't ask Boss Bai to do anything about military supplies, because only when Han Zhenhan took action can he get more things.

This village, which has been abandoned for no reason, finally became popular, and more than 800 people came, and there were dozens of Mongolians who were entangled with their mouths.

Now those dozens of Mongolians have become honest. Of course, anyone's mouth is stuffed, and a sock that smells so bad that it can kill insects will become honest all afternoon.

The malignancy in the mouth and the stimulation of the smell kept tormenting them.

Han Zhenhan, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened by a sound. When he sat up, he vaguely saw the sound from the room he saw when he came in the afternoon.

Han Zhenhan walked in and saw nothing. Hearing the noise in the room, Shunzi, who was guarding Han Zhenhan, also followed him, holding the firewood that was following him.

The bed I saw in the afternoon had been cleaned up. It was a carved wooden bed with a good top, but many of the corners had been hacked by mice.

The sound came from this room. Han Zhenhan reached out to press the wooden bed in front of him. There was also a sound, but it was not a sound that woke him up. He squatted down and looked under the bed. He didn't find anything.

Until he was about to stand up, a sharp sound of wind came out, which scared Han Zhenhan's side Shunzi shuddered.

Han Zhenhan said teasingly,

"Scared? Haha, let's help and pull this out."

The two of them worked together to move the carved wooden bed open. Han Zhenhan squatted down again, knocked left and right, and finally hit a relatively ethereal stone slab.

After thinking about some solutions, I didn't even get it open. When Shunzi was about to get the tools to destroy it, he stepped on the side of the stone slab.
