Chapter 174: Luck is coming and it can't be stopped
Su Qiao dodged vigilantly.
Looking more closely at the bushes, I discovered that they were shaking abnormally, as if there was something inside.
But judging from the degree to which the bushes were shaking, it was unlikely to be a large animal.
Su Qiao walked over and carefully pushed aside the bushes.
Two pheasants suddenly jumped out of the nest.
Su Qiao was so frightened that he took several steps back.
As soon as she stood still, she saw the two pheasants that had just jumped out and flew into the sky fall straight down from the sky.
"Bang bang!" Two loud sounds, and it hit right in front of her.
The two pheasants let out a mournful cry and then fainted.
Su Qiao was stunned for a moment. He was stunned for a while and blinked before he reacted.
She bent down and picked up the two pheasants. She saw that both pheasants had old wounds on their wings and on their chests.
As soon as he tried to push, the wound opened and it hurt, so he couldn't push any further and fell down.
"Hey, real-life Frightened Bird."
Su Qiao was immediately happy. He picked up the two pheasants and weighed them in his hands. They weighed at least five kilograms.
It was enough for a good meal, and it just so happened that she hadn't been able to buy meat for some time.
Sucho threw two pheasants into the backpack.
She had just glanced past something in the bushes.
He walked over again and carefully pushed aside the bushes.
At this sight, her eyes lit up again.
There was actually a nest of pheasant eggs hidden in the bushes, eighteen in total.
After giving the eggs as a gift to Commander Jiang, there were only a few eggs left.
With three growing children at home, meat, eggs and milk are essential. She was thinking about going to the military supply and marketing cooperative to grab some tomorrow!
Meat and eggs are in great demand right now. Not only do they require coupons, but their supply is also limited each day.
If you want to buy it, you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative early to queue up. If you go too late, you won’t be able to buy it.
However, eggs are easier to buy than meat. Farmers in nearby villages who raise chickens at home will collect eggs to sell.
Su Qiao tied the two stunned pheasants with vines and held them in his hands.
He then spread a layer of pine needles in the basket and carefully placed the eggs into it.
Just as I put it down, I heard the man's rough and anxious voice, "Qiao Qiao..."
"Hey, Brother Zhengrong, I'm here!"
Su Qiao responded and quickly ran out of the woods.
When Qin Zhengrong saw her, the tense expression on his face relaxed.
Su Qiao's face was filled with a happy smile. "Brother Zhengrong, look, I picked up two pheasants and 18 pheasant eggs."
Qin Zhengrong took both the basket and the pheasant unconsciously.
Su Qiao looked at the warriors who were moving things in the distance and said with some regret, "Oh, it would be great if we could kill two wild boars here.
Then we can give the soldiers a treat."
Now there are only two pheasants. Even if we stew a big pot of soup, it is not enough for each warrior to taste the chicken.
When Qin Zhengrong heard this, his eyes softened when he looked at Su Qiao.
"Qiao Qiao, the soldiers have enough meat to eat, don't worry!"
Su Qiao curled her lips. That’s strange!
In the army, the soldiers' lives are better than those of ordinary people.
But it's just enough to fill your stomach.
Meat and eggs are supplied in fixed quantities.
Qin Zhengrong, a battalion commander, was only supplied with 1.8 jin of meat per month. As a military dependent, she was only supplied with half a jin of meat per month.
Because the three children are children of martyrs, they are also provided with half a pound of rice every month.
Their whole family only eats 3.8 jin of meat a month.
She heard that the average soldier was only supplied with three ounces of meat a month.
That means you can only taste a little meat in a whole month, and you can't even eat it freely. How can you not be hungry?
Su Qiao was feeling regretful when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound.
She instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
Then I saw rocks starting to roll down from the cave halfway up the mountain.
Qin Zhengrong's face froze. He picked up Su Qiao with one hand and quickly returned to the team. "Avoid falling rocks and move forward at full speed!"
The man's powerful command broke my eardrums.
Su Qiao was held by the man with one hand, her body lying on the man's broad shoulders.
She looked at the falling stones and felt confused.
The weather has been very good recently and there has been no continuous rain, so how could rocks suddenly fall?
Could it be that the soldiers were digging out the weapons buried in the cave and destroyed the mountain structure?
Before she could figure it out, she suddenly saw two huge black figures rushing down the mountain along with the rolling rocks.
Su Qiao's heart tightened.
Wild boar!
The falling rocks actually scared the wild boars out of the mountains.
But seeing wild boars now is not a good thing!
Wild boars have thick skin and flesh, and they like to rub a thick layer of pine oil on their bodies for protection. It is no exaggeration to say that a wild boar in its prime is invulnerable to knives and guns.
Now the warriors don’t even have time to dodge the falling rocks, if they are targeted by the frightened wild boars...
The weapons we collected today have not yet been assembled.
Su Qiao didn't dare to think about it.
She hurried to remind Qin Zhengrong.
But before he could finish his words, there was a sudden "bang" and a huge piece of stone fell from the mountain and hit a wild boar squarely on the head.
“Boom!”
In an instant, the wild boar fell to the ground.
Su Qiao's eyes widened.
Is this okay?
She quickly looked at the other wild boar.
Then another stone flew down and hit the wild boar's back.
“Ah~~~”
The wild boar uttered a mournful cry, but was pinned under the boulder and could not move.
Soon, its breath became weaker and weaker, and finally there was no sound.
At the same time, no more large rocks fell from the mountain.
Only a few tiny stones fell down.
Qin Zhengrong observed the situation and ordered in a rough voice: "Rest where you are!"
Just now the warriors were busy dodging the stones, and no one except Su Qiao saw the wild boar being smashed to death.
Even those who are not careful enough may not hear the wild boar's dying cries.
It was only after everyone stopped that Su Qiao realized that she was still sitting on Qin Zhengrong's arm with her upper body resting on his shoulder.
This ambiguous and awkward posture...
After resting for a while, the soldiers also noticed the couple.
"The battalion commander and his sister-in-law have such a good relationship!"
"Don't think that our battalion commander is a cold-faced king when facing us, but he is very gentle in front of my sister-in-law!"
"Battalion Commander!
You and your sister-in-law held your wedding in your hometown, but we didn’t get to drink in it?
When is the baby born? Will you treat us to a full-month celebration?"
As soon as a round-faced little warrior uttered this joke, the soldier next to him poked him immediately.
He shouted in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about?
Haven't you heard about the battalion commander's health condition?
It's useless to talk about anything here."
The young warrior then remembered the rumors in the camp about Qin Zhengrong being infertile, and his face suddenly became embarrassed.
