Carrying the Bamboo Horse on the Thousand Miles Return from the Doomsday Natural Disaster
Chapter 98 A trip to Haishi
Xu Lingfeng's deputy commander and political commissar are his good helpers, and they can be considered old partners after working together for many years. They were originally left to guard the camp, but I don't know why they were finally asked to take the remaining soldiers to the sea market to perform the mission? The problem was that they couldn't be contacted later. They actually went out without any communication equipment.
Xu Lingfeng always felt that something was very strange, but all the computer and other data were damaged. This matter can only be understood by finding the person involved. The military contacted Haishi but did not get their specific location, but Xu Lingfeng's political commissar Qu Hai was from Haishi. Xu Lingfeng felt that he was probably at home, but he just didn't know why they chose to conceal his identity and traces?
Leaving Zhang Xun behind, Xu Lingfeng set off with Gu Yu and Zhao Da Xiewen. Last time, because of Hu Qiucao's incident, he didn't have time to find out the news about Bai Lu. Xu Lingfeng was still thinking about avenging Gu Yu! However, when we arrived at the address provided by Hu Jiacheng and the man who left with Bai Lu, the building was already empty.
Arriving at Haishi again, this time they went directly to the city center. The rescue base here has the largest population, but the smallest area. The high-rise buildings built later seem to be inferior to the original old alleys and small western-style buildings. At least they were not affected when the typhoon hit. What's more, there was an earthquake later. After the elevators in high-rise buildings were no longer usable, people basically lived on the lower floors.
Xu Lingfeng originally came to Qu Hai's home, which was a small foreign-style building passed down from his grandparents. Qu Hai is more than ten years older than Xu Lingfeng and has already started a family. With a boy, there are parents at home to take care of. Qu Hai's wife did not go with the army. Qu Hai went home to visit when he had time.
The small foreign-style building is inside the rescue base. Even though there are wooden houses and tents everywhere now, it still takes a lot of effort to get in. Qu Hai's wife's eyes were red when she opened the door. Seeing Xu Lingfeng's expression seemed a bit like seeing a savior.
Xu Lingfeng took Gu Yu and the others into the house, and Qu Hai's wife closed the door without saying a word. Then he took them upstairs. The small western-style building has three floors. Except for the living room, kitchen and bathroom on the first floor, there are bedrooms upstairs. Xu Lingfeng had never been upstairs, but he just felt it was not polite.
Now that Qu Hai's wife Liu Fenfang's eyes were red, he really didn't know how to ask about the situation? Xu Lingfeng was confused when he arrived on the second floor. There was a coal stove in the room and there were beds inside. He knew everyone sitting on the bed, but why were they all like this?
There were more than twenty people living in one room, and they were all on alert before Xu Lingfeng entered the room. If it weren't for seeing Xu Lingfeng when he entered the house, no enemy would have had a chance to escape.
Seeing Xu Lingfeng and the others put down their weapons, they shouted in unison: "Captain!"
Then some of them were fragile and hugged Xu Lingfeng directly and they started crying. Gu Yu and Liu Fenfang stood aside at a loss, with wet eyes, watching this group of usually mighty and unyielding men vent their emotions for the past few days.
Xu Lingfeng was surprised when he saw them because they were all skinny and skinny. All of them had cracked lips, and it felt like they had been bleeding and scabbing many times. The skin is dark and lackluster, and the figure is a little thin and out of shape.
After everyone's emotions stabilized, Xie Wen stepped forward to check them one by one. Gu Yu dragged Liu Fenfang to cook for them. These people looked malnourished at first sight. Guyu and the others were all carrying huge backpacks so as not to expose the space.
But when Guyu took out flour, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes and dried meat from the space, Liu Fenfang was still a little confused. She used to disdain these things, but now they are so rare.
The rescue base was originally still available for purchase, but later the points became higher and higher. The points she earned from working at the base were not enough to buy other food. You can only buy a kind of powder mixed with wheat bran and coarse cornmeal. The stuff was hard and black when it steamed, and the child couldn't get out of the toilet after eating it, and kept crying.
Liu Fenfang's parents have died in the hot weather, and it is not easy for her to survive with her children. If it weren't for their parents' habit of saving food, they might have died long ago. Liu Fenfang saved the food for her children and ate the hard and black powdered steamed cornbread herself.
When Guyu took out the seasonings, Liu Fenfang had already washed the rice and was ready to steam it. There are two big pots at home, both of which are already filled with water. In order not to waste firewood, potatoes, sweet potatoes and dried meat were steamed. The flour Guyu was ready, Liu Fenfang had no time to stop it, and kept saying that she would save it for next meal.
Guyu didn't say anything. She had been reflecting a lot these days. I was afraid of hunger in my previous life, and I was very afraid of starving myself and Xu Lingfeng. But last time the three of them disguised themselves and moved into the rescue base in Haishi, they realized how difficult the world was. A piece of compressed biscuit can be exchanged for one gram of gold. The original luxury goods now have no value at all in the material trading hall.
In this life, because I have space, I already have enough food and clothing. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. That is to say, Gu Yu can eat some fruits and vegetables in space when he is alone with Xu Lingfeng. Faced with Xu Lingfeng's parents and relatives, he still had to be careful. Gu Yu felt that he might be living too well. She always felt that she could no longer live a life in which pickles were a luxury product besides eating cereals and cornstarch for three meals a day.
But Guyu actually knew very well that the Xu family's life was pretty good. At least there is still a lot of food supply, but the food supply in the base is already very difficult. Everything is ground into powder and sold. If it weren't for the cold weather, rats would probably become meat in people's eyes.
Realizing his happiness, Gu Yu also began to prepare for a rainy day. From time to time, dry some meat jerky at home to beat the grain in the space so fine that it doesn’t need to be very fine. The flour in the regiment canteen is mixed with wheat bran, the rice is beaten into pieces, and crushed rice husks are also added. Later, with the addition of family members and cooking classes, Gu Yu realized that he was still too meticulous.
They ground the corn directly into powder without stripping the corn stalks. The sweet potatoes, potatoes and pumpkin are not peeled. In order to save cooking oil and fuel, they are all cooked in one pot. Gu Yu, who went to the cafeteria with Xu Lingfeng, could be seen twitching.
But she also knew that this was already pretty good. At least there was a lot of real food to fill her stomach. As for meat, Xu Lingfeng and his men drove to the mountains several times and only brought back a few hares, rabbits and sheep. None of these items were eaten, so the cooking team and canteen staff cooked them one at a time. Everyone can find some chopped bones in the potatoes, and that's it. Many people lament that they haven't tasted the flavor of meat for a long time.
