Chapter 133 Food Shortage
Hearing this, Lin Wanshu didn't have the heart to tell Yu Fangfang that her Feng Yandong had already seen it.
Yu Fangfang still felt that she had kept the secret well. There were two candies left. She peeled one and stuffed it into Lin Wanshu, then peeled another and stuffed it into her own mouth, and began to eat it happily.
From a distance, Feng Yandong saw Yu Fangfang eating candy secretly again, and his face turned black.
Couldn't she allow herself to worry less?
Yu Fangfang was very carefree and had no idea that her man was angry. After eating the candy, she worked hard to light a fire for Lin Wanshu.
Under her guidance, the fire finally became obedient and no longer tried to die in front of her.
The two worked together to cook the braised pig intestines, and the overbearing aroma became more and more intense.
The whole camp was filled with a delicious aroma.
"What smells so good?"
Qi Honglian, who was on duty in the tent, sniffed and said.
It is said that food is the most important thing for people. Even doctors cannot avoid eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
They were already starving, so how could they bear the smell of this fragrance?
If it weren't for their duties, they would have run out to take a look.
"I heard it when I went out just now. Comrade Wan Shu was stewing pig intestines."
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
Pig intestines are such a smelly thing, but how can they be so delicious when braised?
They couldn't help drooling before they even ate.
As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Honglian, who was still sniffing his nose, seemed to have been acupunctured. He froze on the spot, and his face turned red.
When others saw her like this, they also remembered what she said just now that Lin Wanshu ate pig intestines because she was poor.
For a moment, everyone looked at her strangely.
"I don't know who was complaining about the cooking of pig intestines just now, but now he has changed his mind so quickly?"
Chen Meng didn't tolerate her at all and said something in a sarcastic tone.
Qi Honglian felt even more embarrassed, but because her face was covered by a mask, nothing could be seen.
"Tsk! I don't want it. If you like this dirty stuff, eat more."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and pretended to look at the report in her hand, as if the person who had sniffed her nose just now was not her.
Chen Meng snorted and laughed, and said nothing more.
After all, there are a lot of patients here, and it would not look good if there was a commotion.
Outside, the child who had just been given candy and went out to play returned to the big pot again.
Everyone gathered around the pot, drooling.
The soldiers digging in the distance were not much better.
Everyone's mind was preoccupied with the braised pig intestines.
Just at this moment, Liu Zhengmao came back dejectedly with five or six people.
"Secretary Liu, how is it? Are there many fish in the river?"
It just rained heavily, so there should be a lot of fish now.
The villager asked expectantly.
Liu Zhengmao shook his head and sighed, "There weren't many fish, we only caught about ten pounds."
This was caught by Wang Dagen, a villager who often fishes.
When the mudslide broke out, he took his fishing net with him while escaping.
But after casting the fishing net several times, he only caught about ten pounds of fish.
With so many people, this little bit of fish is not enough to fill their stomachs.
Hearing this, the villagers couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Let's wait for the captain to come back and see what happens."
If there is nothing in the water, there must be some in the mountains, right?
Fortunately, they had just hunted so many wild boars that they should be able to last for three or four days.
Liu Zhengmao was very excited when he heard that the troops had killed six wild boars.
"There is no perfect path for man!"
Although six wild boars are just a drop in the bucket for so many people.
But at least there is hope.
Now I can only pray for good news from the captain.
Team leader Wu Jiang also led five or six members up the mountain. It's already two or three o'clock now. According to the time, they should be back soon, right?
But they waited and waited, for almost half an hour, but there was still no sign of the captain and his men.
"Why hasn't the captain come back yet?"
Someone couldn't help but mutter.
"I don't know. Should we send someone to call for help?"
They are all from the same team, and many of them are relatives.
Since no one has come back for such a long time, everyone couldn't help but start to worry.
After waiting for a while, someone couldn't sit still anymore.
"I'll go and shout and see."
As he said that, Liu Dafa stood up, took a shovel and was about to go up the mountain.
But before he could walk far, he saw the captain coming out of the mountain carrying a man on his back.
There were a few people limping along with them.
"what happened?"
Seeing that they were all injured, the villagers rushed forward.
They supported or carried people directly to the tent.
Wu Jiang had just sat down, still gasping for air.
After calming down a bit, he said, "We encountered a group of wild boars in the mountains. We accidentally fell into the cave while running for our lives. We finally climbed up with great difficulty."
I didn’t find anything to eat and nearly lost my life.
No wonder the old people in the team didn’t let them go to Dongtou Mountain, it was indeed very dangerous there.
If they hadn't been lucky and didn't fall too deep, they would have probably died in that cave.
When everyone heard that they had actually climbed up Dongtou Mountain, they couldn't help but feel scared. How could they care about whether to eat or not?
It's good enough to be able to save my life.
But I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed as I couldn't find anything to eat either in the water or in the mountains.
With so many mouths waiting, I don’t know when the road can be dug through.
Fortunately, the troops killed the wild boar, which made people feel somewhat comforted.
After the captain and his men had bandaged the wound, dinner was ready.
The braised pig intestines were also served out as everyone was eagerly waiting.
Because there are so many people, we can only share the food.
Soon, a long line formed in front of the basin of pig intestines.
The person who got hit couldn't wait to pick up the pig intestine and put it in his mouth.
After tasting the fresh and tender taste, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
"Hmm... Comrade Soldier wasn't lying. This thing is indeed delicious."
For a moment, the whole camp was filled with sounds of admiration.
Those who haven't caught the food yet were all envious when they saw how delicious the food was.
Qi Honglian smelled the overbearing fragrance and his mouth was watering.
But she had already said it, and she couldn't go back on her word and queue up over there.
In the end, I could only go to make pork bone soup with a gloomy face.
Except for Qi Honglian, everyone else was enjoying the meal as if it were Chinese New Year.
But this short-lived happiness was soon broken as the excavation continued day by day.
Now the troops have invested a lot of manpower to dig the road, but after five or six days, they still have not been able to dig it through.
After all, mudslides are different from ordinary disasters. They have to be particularly careful when cleaning them to avoid falling mud and rocks and injuring people.
Seeing that the food reserves were getting less and less, the whole camp fell into a depressed atmosphere.
Even the deliciously cooked meat tasted bland to everyone.
It now appears that the area affected is very large, and it may take ten days or half a month for the road to be dug through.
When there is no food left, how will they survive?
Lin Wanshu looked at her man's solemn expression, and her heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
The situation was urgent, and the army increased its manpower. Because they had to speed up the process of digging the road, Qin Yan never returned to his family compound.
Lin Wanshu always went back before dark.
Yu Fangfang also traveled with them.
Now that she doesn't have to go to work, she accompanies her to the camp every day.
"Wan Wan, when do you think this road can be dug through?"
Yu Fangfang, who has always been heartless, couldn't help but look sad.
Lin Wanshu looked back at the man who was tirelessly digging the road and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"I do not know either."
The two of them walked back dejectedly.
In the family compound, everyone knows that food is tight now, and the meals have been changed from three meals a day to two meals a day.
After picking up Xiao Miaomiao from Ji Hualan's house, Lin Wanshu gave her and herself a bath and then collapsed on the bed.
Thinking of the man with frowning brows, she opened the space after the baby fell asleep.
