Hello 1983

A team of people was left here to guard the goods, and the rest of the large force went to the temporary station more than ten miles away.

"It seems to be a bit dry here." As they walked, they looked at the surrounding scenery curiously.

For them, this strange place is full of novelty.

Especially the sandy soil under our feet is very unaccustomed to everyone. It seems that it is not easy to grow crops in such arid land.

"Let's see if we can drill a well. If we can't irrigate, we won't be able to grow crops here."

Wang Gong discussed with several engineers and came to this conclusion.

The excitement of everyone's first arrival was immediately replaced by worry: They were all farmers in their hometown. Without land, they lost their foundation and lost the meaning of coming here.

"The groundwater here should still be very rich." Liu Qingshan had some understanding, and quickly reassured people, otherwise, so many people would not have been transferred here.

And at the time of purchasing, he had already got a set of drilling equipment.

Only then did everyone feel a little relieved, and the atmosphere in the team became relaxed and happy again.

"Wow, what kind of bird is that? It's so big!" Someone started yelling.

"That's an ostrich. The eggs are so big that I can't eat one in a meal." Xiao Wu is familiar with this place, and he is a bit proud and boastful.

In the distance, there are a few ostriches pacing leisurely on the sandy ground, their long necks looking curiously at them from time to time.

Everyone also began to discuss excitedly: "It's so big, if you catch one, it's enough to feed several people."

"Birds can fly, how can they be so easy to catch?"

"Ostriches don't seem to be able to fly, do they?"

Some people really didn't believe in evil, and flew over there, only to see those ostriches striding forward with long legs, leaving people far behind with ease.

Although people can't fly, they can run fast.

The ostrich chaser ran back dejectedly, everyone couldn't help laughing, Liu Qingshan also said with a smile:

"When the time comes, tell everyone that these local wild animals cannot be hunted and killed casually. We are not here to cause damage."

After walking for more than ten miles, the team in front stopped. This is the temporary station that Ma Laosan asked the locals to help choose.

Looking around, it was desolate, only sparse vegetation grew on the ground, and they were all relatively drought-tolerant species.

"This area is more than 100 miles away, and it is our territory. We will set up camp here today. If it is not suitable, we will find a place later."

Xiao Wu yelled, and everyone started to unload the goods.

It was getting dark soon, and the goods by the sea could only be transported tomorrow. The local aborigines each chose a gadget they liked, such as soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc., and left happily.

Xiao Wu has already agreed with them, and will come back tomorrow to help and give gifts.

The new immigrants all looked around: this will be our home from now on!

But this opening seems to be a bit difficult. If you are poor and white, what do you want?

Chapter 598 Too far behind!

In the camp, tents were set up with families as units.

Needless to say, once you have a tent, you immediately feel like you have a home and a sense of home.

On the other side, a large pot had already been buried, but they couldn't find any firewood, so they brought over a few sacks of coal and started to boil water for cooking.

The water is brought from a depression not far away. Xiao Wu has already warned everyone that the water here cannot be drunk directly, it must be boiled before drinking.

It was already dark, and the generators in the camp were roaring, and several large mercury lamps were shining brightly.

Regardless of the large number of people, but the division of labor is clear and the organization is relatively strong. The rice and millet brought in are cleaned and cooked directly in the pot.

It is that there are not many vegetables brought, only bean sprouts left.

There were lights flickering in the distance, and they were moving this way. The militiamen who were in charge of the sentry went up to check quietly. It turned out that dozens of local aborigines, holding torches and pulling a lot of sea fish in the car, came to give them food.

"Haha, the villagers are still very enthusiastic." Everyone naturally welcomed them, unloaded the car cheerfully, and gave some small things directly without paying any money, which was regarded as a thank you.

The food sent by others, of course, some food in return, is ham sausage and instant noodles produced by Tongyi, and several boxes were loaded into the bullock cart.

Xiao Wu looked at the ham sausage, and quickly asked everyone to bring it back, and replaced it with two boxes of canned fish.

This ham sausage is made of pork, and it was really eaten by the locals. If they knew about it, a war might break out.

The group unloaded their things and was not in a hurry to leave. They all watched the excitement in the camp.

Seeing that there were a few children in the entourage, all with their white teeth bared, happily following along with the work, Liu Qingshan asked someone to give them a few pieces of bubble gum.

Xiao Wu hurriedly yelled from the side: "This can't be swallowed, it's for blowing bubbles."

After he finished speaking, he gave a demonstration. These little dolls were overjoyed. They all chewed bubble gum vigorously, practiced blowing bubbles, laughing and laughing, so lively.

Seeing this scene, Liu Qingshan suddenly felt that it was not much different from those monkeys in Jiapigou.

"It's close to the sea, so you can go fishing in the future."

Lao Liang and his team leaders got together and studied while smoking.

Liu Qingshan had already thought of this problem, the purchase list, fishing boats and nets were all complete.

Seeing a few black brothers approaching, Captain Liang handed him a cigarette.

Those few people waved their hands again and again, expressing that no smoking, smoking and drinking are not allowed.

A black old man squatted in front of the simple cooking stove, and gave a thumbs up to a veteran who was shaking the blower.

The veteran couldn't understand what he said, so he probably praised the hand-cranked hair dryer for being easier to use.

On the stove, several chefs were busy stewing fish. The seasonings they brought were relatively complete, and the aroma soon wafted over the station, and the natives were even more immobile.

"Hey, come down, come down, that pole has just been buried and is not strong." Someone yelled, it turned out that an old black was climbing up the wooden pole.

There are wires on it, followed by a mercury lamp. It is estimated that this old man wants to study it at a close distance.

Everyone asked Xiao Wuyi, and only then did they know that there was no electricity in the area. It is said that only the big cities and surrounding areas have electricity, which covers less than [-]% of the area.

No wonder the natives didn't leave, they all wandered around under the lamp.

They all came here to catch the light.

"This side is far behind us." Everyone couldn't help sighing for a while.

Wang Gong and his technicians looked at each other: there is one more item: repairing power stations.

There are no rivers here, but in the territory of Chief Adu, there are two open-pit coal mines. If it doesn't work, let's build a thermal power station.

Thinking about the purchase list that Liu Qingshan distributed to them when they came here, there was a set of thermal power generators, Wang Gong and the others couldn't help but feel admiration: This Mr. Liu is really considerate enough despite his young age.

The light brings light, but it also brings some troubles, attracting many nocturnal creatures that like light, including mosquitoes.

The mosquitoes here are big and venomous, and soon many people are infected, with big bumps on their skin.

However, everyone had been prepared for a long time, and they took out a thumb-sized iron box, dug out a little ointment from it, and applied it to the place where the mosquito was bitten, and it immediately became much cooler and more comfortable.

Moreover, after applying the ointment, the smell is very annoying to mosquitoes, and it can also have the effect of repelling mosquitoes.

The mosquitoes here are the most powerful, and can infect many diseases, so Liu Qingshan has been prepared for a long time, and prepared a lot of cooling oil and mosquito coils.

He also paid attention to observe just now, those local aborigines, most of their arms and legs are bare, but they don't attract mosquitoes very much, so he asked Xiao Wu what happened.

Xiao Wu giggled and said, "They are so black that mosquitoes can't see them, so of course they won't bite."

I believed you, Liu Qingshan gave Xiao Wu a blank look, and the guy explained: "They all extract the juice from a kind of tree and rub it on their bodies to prevent mosquitoes."

That's about the same, Liu Qingshan nodded, probably some kind of volatile vegetable oil, which is hated by mosquitoes.

Liu Qingshan is curious about the aborigines, and the aborigines are even more interested in the cooling oil that people take out.

I saw a black buddy dug his hand into a small iron box containing cool oil, and then stretched it into his mouth, as if he wanted to taste it.

The people around quickly stopped him, gestured, explained how to use cool oil, and gave each of them a small box.

These natives accepted them carefully, and seemed to take them very seriously.

Think about it too, the climate here is hot, and the cool oil that prevents mosquitoes and heatstroke is definitely a magic weapon.

When the meal is ready, put all the tables, chairs and benches brought. In order to save space, these tables and stools are folded.

Rows of tables and stools are set up, and thousands of people dine together. This scene is really spectacular.

The natives were also invited to join the dinner. There were only a few dozen of them, and they were not bad at stuttering.

The meals are quite simple, two rice, fried vermicelli with bean sprouts, fried eggs with onions, these things are relatively easy to store, so I brought a lot.

The only meat is the sea fish sent by the natives. It has been braised in soy sauce for several pots, and there is a large plate on each table.

After all, most of them are veterans, so there is a song before dinner as usual.

I don't know who is responsible for singing, and soon, the majestic chorus singing the motherland will be sung in Africa:

The five-star red flag flutters in the wind.

How resounding is the song of victory;

Sing to our dear motherland.

From now on to prosperity and strength...

In a foreign country, singing this song, many people have crystal tears in their eyes.

Everyone stood up in unison and prepared to sing, which confused dozens of natives. They didn't understand until they heard the singing, so they all gathered together, yelling, and started dancing.

One sang Chinese songs, and the other danced aboriginal dances, not to mention, they were quite harmonious.

After singing a song before the meal, everyone sat down to eat. It was probably the first time they ate stir-fried vegetables from China, and the natives all ate and praised.

Especially those sea fish, they are usually tired of eating them, but they tasted very delicious today.

Everyone was hungry, and it was like a rush, and the wind swept away, and finally all the food was eaten.

No matter whether they are guests from the East or the natives, they all eat their bellies round.

Those aborigines still reluctantly returned to their gathering place in the end, and Liu Qingshan gave them two more flashlights, which made them very happy.

The women cleared the tableware, the men gathered the tables and stools, and arranged the sentry post for the night, and everyone went into their tents to rest.

In the next period of time, many things need to be done, which is basically equivalent to starting from scratch.

However, such a home built by one's own hands must have a deeper relationship, right?

With longing and worries about the future, people gradually fell asleep.

Liu Qingshan also slept deeply, and was fully prepared when he came. He believed that with the quality of these veterans, he would be able to overcome the initial difficulties and build this place into a beautiful home...

what--

The ear-piercing cry woke up the sleeping people, and everyone got out of the tent one after another.

It was already dark outside, and Liu Qingshan was running towards the outside of the camp, followed by the four-member band.

They just got up for a run, and before they started to stand, they heard someone screaming over there, and they rushed over to check.

I saw the two young daughters-in-law running back in a panic, their faces pale with fright: "Lion, there are lions outside!"

Liu Qingshan has already seen it. Two to three hundred meters away, there is a male lion wandering with several female lions.

Everyone also rushed over with various weapons, including knives, guns and wooden sticks, and some of them still held semi-automatic rifles in their hands.

In the chaos of Leland, of course, some firearms are required.

"Mr. Liu, do you want to get rid of those lions?"

Veterans with guns asked.

Liu Qingshan waved his hand, this is unnecessary.

"These lions seem to be a little small. Are they still underage?" Someone noticed a problem.

Xiao Wu fell into a drowsy sleep, rubbing his eyes and muttering:

"The lions here are indeed smaller than the lions on the prairie. It's fine. They generally don't take the initiative to attack people. There's nothing to make a fuss about."

Everyone looked at it for a while, and then returned to the camp, each busy, anyway, it was dawn.

After Liu Qingshan led the four-member band to stand upright, he started punching again. Watching him punch and kick, everyone was full of vigor, and others were envious.

"Good skill, I think if you meet a lion outside, you will be able to single out."

Among those veterans, there are quite a few master fighters. Of course, it can be seen that Mr. Liu's training is definitely not a show.
