After working on the jigsaw puzzle for an hour, Lu Bo and the others were tired. They did not know if the people of the Sapling Protection Team understood what they meant. Anyway, they had done what they could and should do. The rest was up to fate.
The Duo People were very satisfied with the result of the rehearsal. They found that if they followed the formation, the other party did not dare to shoot. The bullets would fly past one person and hit another.
Sang Qi was especially happy. He rewarded Lu Bo with some meat and told them to sleep well. Tomorrow, they would use this formation to deal with the Tang soldiers.
What he did not understand was that the bullet penetration of the Tang soldiers' rifles was deliberately designed. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan felt that the probability of using this kind of gun to hit a person was very high. The penetrating injury could also make people lose their fighting strength. When cleaning up the battlefield, there were still pistols to hold the line.
Therefore, when making the guns, they made them according to their previous three and eight covers. At the same time, they also made a lot of box cannons. Although the muzzle of the box cannons always jumped up when shooting, it depended on how it was used. One was used to shoot at the waist, and the other was used to put the gun flat.
Holding the gun with both hands and shooting flat, people who were good at shooting could shoot like a machine gun.
However, in addition to such guns, there were also bullets and guns with a very good stopping effect. Together with the use of strong penetrating ability, they complemented each other. This was especially true for snipers. Their bullets would not penetrate, for fear of hurting people who should not be hurt.
Moreover, even a gun with strong penetrating ability could be used to not penetrate people by using a simple method. It would make the bullet roll and stay in the person's body.
Sang Qi felt that with the formation, the enemy would not dare to shoot. In fact, even if there was no formation, as long as the person beside the hostage was not targeted, one would lose a life if there was a mistake.
Amidst Lu Bo's worry and Sang Qi's happiness, the night passed quickly. When they woke up in the morning, the moon had not disappeared. The sun had risen, forming a beautiful sun and moon hanging together.
After falling out, the Duo People no longer gave the people at the border any face. Affected by the march, the Duo People would eat in the morning, but the people who were threatened could not even see a mouthful of porridge.
The people living at the border finally knew who was good to them. In the past, they thought that the Tang Empire was very far away from them and was not as close as India. They thought that they had the final say in their lives and that everyone who came into contact with them had to exchange goods with them.
In their eyes, there were only benefits and benefits. There was no sense of belonging. Even if some people went to the Great Tang to earn more money, in their eyes, it was just more money. They didn't belong to either side.
But yesterday's experience made them realize that they belonged to the Great Tang, because the Great Tang had come to rescue them.
Previously, they were envious of the Tang Empire's soldiers who had specially come to save Lu Bo and the others. However, when they realized that the Tang Empire's soldiers did not shoot at the cannibals they were holding, they realized that they were afraid of being shot.
At that moment, they were moved. Whoever was good to them, they would be good to them. When they were in danger, they were willing to repay whoever saved their lives with their lives.
At the same time, they were filled with resentment towards Lu Bo and the others. They felt that Lu Bo and the others had no conscience. Their people had come to save them and had chased them so far, but they were still helping the enemy. They should die and be struck by lightning.
Therefore, when they woke up in the morning and saw that Lu Bo and the others also received some fried noodles and water, the people at the border looked at them with eyes full of resentment.
When they set off, the team moved very slowly. The cannibals looked around vigilantly, afraid that they would be shot. The hot weather and the pressure in their hearts made them sweat a lot.
Lu Bo's 25 people were also sweating, and their eyes were bloodshot.
Seeing that the sun was high in the sky, the cannibals began to prepare to eat. Their meal was very simple. There were two types, one was roasted, and the other was fried. The roasted meat was meat, but there wasn't much fresh meat for them to roast. They were all roasted very salty meat in the past. They didn't have a pot to fry it, so they brought fried rice and fried noodles. The fried noodles were processed by the people at the border.
The so-called meal was to stop and be vigilant while stuffing water into their stomachs. There was still no share for the people at the border. They were only given a little at night so that they wouldn't starve to death.
Lu Bo and the other 25 people were divided into six portions of fried rice. It was much worse than the fried noodles in the morning. The rice was even fried, and there wasn't any taste of salt in it.
Twenty-five people were divided into six portions. Each person could only eat a little, and there wasn't much water, unless they encountered a river.
Looking at the food the cannibals ate, it was nothing more than roasted and salted meat. Lu Bo was homesick. Not to mention how much money they had at home, they could eat very good meals. Even if they went out and found a place to eat some snacks, it would be better than their current life.
You cannibals usually look very confident, but what's there to be confident about? Look at the broken things you eat. In the next life, even if you bribe the King of Hell, you won't be there.
Just as they were eating, a gunshot came from the left side of the forest. They were so scared that they immediately lay down on the ground. They had already found that this method was not bad.
After a while, there was no additional movement. Sang Qi signaled with his eyes, and six cannibals stood out. They escorted more than a dozen people at the border to the place where the gunshot had just come from.
The six cannibals stood in the middle with knives in their hands. They made more than a dozen people turn their backs to them and walk in circles, so it was very difficult for them to walk. Some people walked sideways, while others walked backwards.
When they reached the place, they didn't see anyone. There were many wooden boxes on the ground. After counting, there were more than seventy boxes. As for the specific number, the person who knew how to count couldn't count. Usually, he would count to about sixty, but today, he was extraordinarily long.
Most of the boxes were filled with iron sheets. There were also two boxes that were wrapped in that kind of shape. For a moment, they couldn't compare with the things they had seen before.
The six cannibals looked around vigilantly, and each box was carried back. The boxes were not light, and they had to be carried by the hostages.
When they came back, they reported that they found a lot of things like this.
Sang Qi kept retreating, afraid that there would be things that would suddenly explode. He saw that there was a piece of paper with words written in the box. The words looked very familiar. It was the language they used. However, he sadly found that he couldn't read. Not only him, but the people who came with him couldn't read.
Frowning, Sang Qi planned to let people throw the boxes away for fear of danger.
When Lu Bo saw this, he hurriedly dissuaded him and said to Sang Qi, "I know, I know your words. You see, I speak very fluently with you. I don't have to learn the Tang language like you do."
"You know them?" Sang Qi couldn't describe what he felt in his heart. He waved his hand and let Lu Bo take a look.
Lu Bo sighed. How important it was to know a foreign language. He was really lucky. In the past, he specially learned to do business in the future. Not only did he know the language of the cannibals, but he also knew the Tianzhu script and a few small Indian languages.
He pondered again. Perhaps the protection team who threw the boxes didn't expect that the cannibals were different from them. They were now educated from a young age. They didn't even know their own language. However, this protection team was also extraordinary. The writing of the cannibals was really beautiful. As expected, the inner courtyard of the Zhang Family and Wang Family was not simple.
"General Sang Qi, I'll read it accordingly." Lu Bo greeted Sang Qi.
Sang Qi was very sad. He didn't know his own language and needed an outsider to read it for him. The difference between countries. Then he nodded and motioned to Lu Bo.
"I'm warning you to eat more people. Right now, you've captured one hundred and eighty-nine people of my Great Tang. If one of them dies, we'll believe that you'll kill the rest. In other words, we'll give up on dealing with you. Your six-hundred-some people can just wait to be covered in cannon fire. I trust that you know what cannon fire is.
These things are food. Some of them are for you, and the rest are for the Tang people. There will be a river in front of you for a while. You can replenish your water. Some of them are canned food, and some are self-heating food for the Tang people. There is pork in them. Don't eat it.
Arrange your formation well. We will sneak attack you from time to time. Don't think that you can threaten us with the people who killed us. It's still the same as before. If one of you dies, we will fire.
Pray, pray to Allah of your sect. From the moment you participated in the conspiracy against my Jiangnan Road, the Heavens decided your life and death.
If you have a chance to survive, let me tell you. The brand of the food is called Richido. It is a series of food. In the future, you may have the money to buy it and enjoy it. "
After Lu Bo finished reading, he looked nervously at Sang Qi. His body kept trembling, giving the impression that he was afraid that the cannibals would kill them in anger. However, he and the other 24 people who heard it knew that the picture they put together yesterday was useful.
Lu Bo was really moved. The Seedling Protection Team was indeed the Seedling Protection Team.
Sang Qi was also trembling. He was so angry that he wanted to kill people in front of the Tang army. However, he really didn't dare to. He nodded vigorously and walked forward. He pointed at the words on a can and asked, "What does it say?"
Lu Bo glanced at it and licked his lips. He asked loudly, "General Sang Qi, these are the words of the Tang Empire. Don't you already know the Tang Empire? Don't you recognize the words? You can't recognize your own words, but you should recognize ours, right? "
Sang Qi's face darkened. "I'll let you read it."
"Okay, I'll read it. Yes, ask about the beauty of mountains and rivers, explore the rainbows of thousands of rivers. The clouds in a foreign land can be low, but the feelings of old friends are high. Affirming that the pine stands tall, and seeing through the gale is the wormwood. A man who hides his head is not a good man, but does not stand upright like a knife.
General Sang Qi, you really don't recognize this word? It's written very well. Did you hear what I read just now? In fact, the first part describes the scenery, then the second part describes the meaning, and the last part expresses one's aspirations. This is a rhyme poem, starting with the rhyme and ending with the rhyme. "
Lu Bo's voice was louder this time.
Sang Qi frowned and pondered for a moment. He waved to the other 24 people who followed Lu Bo and called them over. He first looked at the cans and found that the words were the same. He gave one to each person and ordered the three people on his side to separate the 24 people far away from each other so that they could read it.
Sang Qi had a feeling that things weren't that simple. There might be something else written on the cans, but he believed that the other 24 people wouldn't be able to remember it after Lu Bo read it once. Therefore, he asked them separately.
He stared at Lu Bo and observed Lu Bo's expression.
Lu Bo wasn't worried at all. The words on the cans were the same, but it depended on how one looked at it. The words were written in circles on the outside of the cans. He believed that even if the many cannibals knew the words, they wouldn't be able to understand the meaning behind it. The content was as he had said. The first part described the scenery, followed by the thoughts, and finally expressed one's aspirations.
Speaking of which, this poem was very ordinary. The words used were simple and there were no references. However, this was an acrostic poem. He was afraid that he wouldn't know, so he specifically wrote acrostic and horizontal words to remind him.
When the words in front of each sentence were put together, it was a test to see if he could read.
Lu Bo couldn't use words to describe his feelings. At this moment, he didn't care about life and death. He was proud of his country. This was the special forces that had been mobilized for him and the others. This was the foundation of the special forces … the Seedling Protection Team. It seemed like there was nothing that they couldn't do. They were a highly intelligent team that had 24 hours, 24 hours, all terrain, and all terrain. If he really died, it was because of his bad luck, and not because his country didn't work hard enough.
After a full 30 minutes, when Lu Bo was sleepy, he looked at the 24 people reciting the poem and came back. He recited it to Sang Qi.
Only then did Sang Qi feel relieved. It was a poem that he had heard before. The Zhang Family and Wang Family of Sanshui County of the Great Tang had made canned food for the inner courtyard. Every canned food had words on it. When the inner courtyard went out to do work, seeing the words on the canned food would strengthen their beliefs. Thinking about it, this was also the case.
Just as he felt relieved, Sang Qi suddenly became worried again. He asked Lu Bo, "That, that, what's different about that?"
Lu Bo knew what he was asking about. He smiled flatteringly and replied respectfully, "Canned food is canned food. It has to be slowly boiled and roasted with water and fire. It can't be too hot, or it will explode. There's probably no pork in it. The food left for us to eat has pork in it. This … this is more convenient to heat it up. Pour water into that little tube. Once the food comes into contact with the water, it will heat up the food."
As Lu Bo spoke, he swallowed twice. He ate a little fried noodles in the morning. At noon, there was not enough fried rice for six people. Moreover, it was highland barley rice. When he was at home, this was what he fed the animals, and other ingredients had to be added.
Now, he could finally eat the food that was specially made for the special forces. It was said that the taste was not as good as freshly made food. However, no matter how bad it was, it was specially made by the Zhang Family and Wang Family. After heating it up, it could be used as a secondary cooking pot. It was a hundred times better than stir-fried highland barley rice.
Sang Qi was angry. He had to bring pork. If the canned food was edible by himself, he would have to give them canned food. If not, they would starve to death. What if the Tang Army really opened fire?
"Let me see. You cook. You can eat what you can." Sang Qi had no choice but to let Lu Bo do it. The words had already said that there was a river in front. If there was a river, there would be water.
"Come, come, come, all of you. Learn from me." Lu Bo took the water bag and demonstrated first. He poured the water into the small hole. The 24 people who came with him watched first.
After a while, that thing was filled with water. Lu Bo touched it with his hand and said, "It's hot. It will be even hotter later. You all go and teach the others. Let's eat together. We will be hungrier after eating just now."
After the 24 people saw it, they immediately pulled the people at the junction to do it. Not only was it fun, but they could also wait to eat hot food.
Sang Qi looked at them swallowing their saliva and asked Lu Bo, "What is this?"
"It's the military rations used by the Tang Army. The canned food is actually the same. It can't be helped. It's too far away. It can't be compared to eating at home. Just make do. It's not easy to be a soldier and follow orders."
Lu Bo explained. His tone was filled with endless sighs.
