The secret war is silent

When there are many people walking on it, it becomes a road.

This can also be said the other way around, the more you walk the road, the more you become a human being.

Keep on your way.

Calm.

As if what happened last night had never happened, the team reached a high place and Luo Yao ordered them to take a rest.

Let Wen Xueren use the radio to call home and see if he can receive a signal. In some deep mountains and old forests, due to the magnetic field, there is really a natural radio shielding.

The power of nature is beyond your imagination.

The season has entered July. Without the shade of trees, the hot and scorching sun shines on the body, and people can get burnt.

This is the fiery June.

"Brother, there is a stream ahead. Otherwise, why don't we all take a break before walking?" Yang Fan came back from exploring the road and suggested.

"Okay, let's take a rest in front." Luo Yao nodded. He had been walking for several hours and it was time to take a rest, otherwise he would continue to feel exhausted.

The cool mountain spring water is sprinkled on the face, and the hot summer air is instantly removed. After two more sips, the whole body feels comfortable.

When the girls saw the clear mountain spring water, they forgot what it meant to be reserved and rushed over directly, their laughter like silver bells echoing in the mountains.

Running water is not rotten, door hinges are not beetrooted, mountain springs and streams are generally safe. If it is dead pool water, it is hard to say. Generally, even if some elements exceed the standard, as long as you don't drink it every day, it doesn't matter.

the most important is.

There are fish!

A big white fish washed down from upstream.

Now Yang Fan and the others were excited and rushed over with howls. After a while, they actually caught seven or eight of them.

"Brother, we can have extra food tonight!" Yang Fan excitedly carried a fish over. It seemed to weigh at least three or four kilograms. The fish soup was the most delicious.

Luo Yao chuckled.

If you miss Sutou today, you will have to camp in the wild. Camping in the wild is still relatively dangerous, but there are many people, and they have all kinds of weapons and protective facilities, and even everyone has a gas mask.

Whether it is useful or not is another matter, so be prepared.

The weather in the mountains changes all the time. The sun was shining brightly just now, but soon a dark cloud appeared in the sky.

Then there was lightning and thunder, and it started to rain heavily.

Fortunately, this mountain road is not that difficult to walk. Otherwise, they would be in trouble. Heavy rains would cause flash floods.

Especially summer is the season with frequent thunderstorms.

The wilderness is even more dangerous.

Because he needed to climb mountains and walk on mountain roads, Luo Yao had people prepare hiking sticks for everyone. On rainy days, the role of this hiking stick came into play.

When it rains, it gets dark earlier. It gets dark earlier in the mountains than outside, but when it rains, it gets dark at least half an hour earlier.

"Brother, I found a good place. There is an abandoned inn in front of it. The house is in disrepair and half of it collapsed." Yang Fan always walked at the front and became the person Luo Yao relied on most in the team.

"Okay, as long as there is a place for us to camp." There is no way, we can't find a suitable campsite, so we can only walk forward in the rain. Fortunately, the rain has eased a lot now.

Yang Fan was right, this was indeed an inn, but the plaque in front of the door had long since decayed, and the words on it were not clear.

"Tiger, take some people to investigate first, and see if there is any dry firewood." Luo Yao ordered, people in this mountain will get sick if they don't light a fire.

"Why!"

"Lao Yang, clean up the yard and arrange for everyone to set up the tents." Luo Yao said, arranging the manpower in an orderly manner.

It's easier now that the rain has stopped.

There is also a stable in the inn, but half of it has collapsed. The stone piles for tying the horses are intact, as well as the troughs for feeding.

There are also water tanks in the yard, one has long been broken, and the other is half broken. It rained but half the tank of water was accumulated. The water is definitely not drinkable, but it is not a big problem for washing hands.

The post station is not big, but it has five or six rooms. It is probably for the convenience of pedestrians and officials passing by to change horses and rest.

Less than half of it collapsed, and the rest still leaked air, as if a skylight had been opened. This was a loss for summer. If it were winter, they would either starve to death or freeze to death.

Wash the pot, make fish soup, put onions, ginger and garlic in it, and after a while, the fragrance will come out.

"It's cold in the mountains and the humidity is heavy. Everyone, come over and drink some fish soup to warm yourself up. We'll have enough fish soup today." The chef in the team said excitedly, waving a big iron spoon.

The staple food is pancakes, which are well wrapped in oil paper and no water has penetrated at all.

Biting noodles and drinking fish soup, this is a magical day.

A mouthful of piping hot fish soup, the steam is rolling in your stomach, which is called a comfort.

Put up the rack, put on dry clothes, and dry the rain-soaked clothes on the rack to bake. This post station lacks everything except firewood.

"Team leader, we have contacted our family. We are very anxious about the news that they have lost us. They have been calling us non-stop for the past two days. Fortunately, we were contacted just now." Zhao Shiyin ran over.

"Wish you are safe, and tell your family about our current location." Luo Yao nodded. There has been no news for two days. His family must be anxious. They may be looking for a way to send people to look for them.

"Okay." Zhao Shiyin agreed and went.

The crackling sound of firewood made Luo Yao miss his home in Shancheng a little bit. He had not thought about it for two months in Laohekou, the Fifth War Zone.

It was almost time to go back, and I suddenly had such an idea.

"Brother, I'll keep an eye on you for a while, why don't you go to bed?" Yang Fan came over after feeding the horse and sat down next to Luo Yao.

"Is there any cigarette?"

Yang Fan hesitated for a moment, then took out a cigarette case from his body and handed it over. Luo Yao reached out to take it and took out a cigarette.

He randomly picked up a burning branch, lit the cigarette, took a puff, and let the smoke swirl around in his mouth before exiting through his nose.

After smoking a cigarette to calm down, Luo Yao found a sheltered place, covered himself with a blanket, and fell asleep half-lying down.

I woke up in the middle of the night and felt a little cold. I saw that the fire in the firewood pile was a lot less, so I got up and added more firewood to make the fire a little brighter.

When Luo Yao woke up in the morning, he noticed the smell of meat. It was definitely the smell of meat.

"Tiger, where's the meat?"

"Hey, I went for a walk this morning and caught a big one. I came back and stewed it for everyone for breakfast!"

"What big guy?" Luo Yao leaned over and asked in shock when he saw the pieces rolling in the pot.

"Hiss..." Yang Fan stuck out his tongue.

"Snake..." Luo Yao was surprised.

"Don't tell them, wait until they finish eating." Yang Fan said with a narrow smile, obviously wanting to prank others.

"Is it not poisonous?" Luo Yao asked.

"How is it possible? If it was poisonous, I would have been poisoned to death first." Yang Fan stuck out his tongue and licked it, "I ate the snake gall raw."

Luo Yao rolled his eyes at him, saying that he felt relieved. Yang Fan had stayed in western Hunan and had rich experience in surviving in the wild.

He wouldn't joke about this kind of thing. Besides, snake meat is a great tonic, and you can't eat it under normal circumstances.

"I'll say it's eel soon. Also, don't say it right away after eating, I'm afraid someone will vomit..."

"Brother, you are still awesome!"

"Get up, get up..." The broth started to boil, turning into a milky white color, and the aroma became even richer.

Yang Fan started to wake everyone up, wash up, and have breakfast.

Cai Xiaochun and Hu Yingjie, who had been with Yang Fan, knew what it was as soon as they ate it. When they were about to ask, Yang Fan stared back.

When the two of them saw this look in their eyes, they naturally understood what was going on. They had never eaten such a big worm before. The meat was tender and plump, but they still lowered their heads and ate it fiercely.

Finally, someone asked.

Naturally, Yang Fan used Luo Yao's teachings and said it was eel, and then he was fooled. Anyway, apart from those who have eaten it, those who have never eaten it really don't know what it is.

"Team leader, this..." Yang Si came to Luo Yao with a bowl. He was older, more knowledgeable, and smarter.

He felt something was wrong as soon as he ate it, but when Yang Fan said it was "eel", he couldn't refute it and made trouble in person.

"Lao Yang, I'll just eat what you have." Luo Yao chuckled and winked.

Yang Si understood instantly and didn't say much. He also knew that if he told the truth, half of the people here would vomit!

Yagyu Yoshizawa also got a small share of the leftovers. He was trained in survival in the wild. He had not only eaten snakes, but also eaten them raw. As soon as the taste entered his mouth, he immediately knew what it was.

What a good thing!

It’s been a while since I’ve eaten this.

Just when Yagyu Yoshizawa wanted to say something, he was blocked by Yang Fan's cold eyes, which scared him so much that he quickly lowered his head and drank the soup.

A few girls in the team must have never eaten eel. They may have never eaten eel. Seeing everyone eating it, they didn't want to eat it. After eating it, they thought it was pretty good. Everyone ate a lot.

Yang Fan was very satisfied that his hard work all morning was finally in vain.

After breakfast, continue on the road.

During the lunch break, Yang Fan finally couldn't hold it in anymore and told everyone about the "snake" they ate in the morning.

For a moment, the entire team was pale-faced and retching again and again.

Especially the four girls, who were vomiting bile. Luo Yao gave Yang Fan a hard scolding. If he didn't say anything, the matter would have gone away, which really added to the twists and turns.

From then on, the four girls regarded Yang Fan as a scourge and were afraid to avoid him. No one dared to eat whatever Yang Fan cooked, for fear that he would make some dark food for everyone.

The team passed through Maduguan and continued walking south.

Finally, four days later, we arrived at Fuling, a city downstream from the mountain city. Everyone was exhausted, and almost all of them had lost weight due to fatigue. The men all had ragged beards and hair similar to that of savages, and the women were no longer as glamorous as they used to be.

Fuling is not far from the mountain city. It can be reached by boat in half a day. Luo Yao decided to rest in Fuling for half a day. Everyone tidied up their image a little, reported the news to their families, and then contacted people and directly chartered a small fire Wheel and return directly to the mountain city.
