Chapter 052 Jindalai

Jin Shu bit her lip and whispered a few words to her mother, and her mother shook her head.

Jin Shu knelt down in front of Zhou Charter: "Brother Zhou, please forgive me, I really can't say it!" Please believe us. We are really looking for Dad. They said that my father is in Pyongyang.

Jin Shu's tone was sad and her tears fluttered. Zhou Charter sighed, "So, can you tell me how old you are?"

"You promise to ask only this question." Jin Shu bit her lip and said.

Zhou Charter smiled bitterly for a long time, but Jin Shu raised the conditions for him instead.

"Well, I promise, just ask this one question."

"I'm 16 years old." A red glow flew out of Jin Shu's face.

A 16-year-old girl took her mother all over the world to find her father. Even a hard-hearted person can't help but be moved.

"Okay. You follow me, and I will be responsible for bringing you to Pyongyang.

Jin Shu burst into tears and laughed: "Thank you, Brother Zhou." The carbon ash on her face was washed away by tears, and Jin Shu's face became a flowery face.

"Crying and laughing, full of cannons!" Zhou Charter is abusing the road.

Jin Shu's smile stopped abruptly: "Brother Zhou, you bully!"

"I'm sorry, I'm just kidding." Zhou Charter couldn't bear to make Jin Shu angry: "Then Ha Wu, Yao Xi."

"There!"

"Don't go back to the outpost. I'm here to protect the safety of the mother and daughter." Although Hawu's military salute is like a dog, after all, he is a veteran, and his eyes work. It is more reliable to give Jin Shu's mother and daughter to him. Yao Xi is a recruit. Before becoming a soldier, he was a farmer. He was honest and timid. He did not have the bad habits of veterans. Zhou Charter was also more assured.

Naha Wu and Yao Xi agreed and stayed beside Jin Shu's mother and daughter. The sentry team pulled out. After a while, they passed through the reeds and came to the river.

Song Qing has ordered the fleet to wait by the river. As soon as Zhou Charter's sentry arrived, it boarded the ship. Half an hour later, the whole sentry cross-border Yalu River and set foot on the land of North Korea.

Last night, Song Qing has given the cards to Zhang Xun and Zhou Charter. The real purpose of the three battalions under Zhang Xun is to arrive at Asan in the shortest time to reinforce the defenders of Asan.

Therefore, Zhou Charter, as the vanguard of the Qing army, immediately marched to Yizhou without waiting for Zhang Xun's large army.

According to the plan, Zhou Charter should follow the left's precious march route, passing through Yizhou, Pingzhou, Pyongyang, Tian'an, and Asan. This road is high and deep, and there is no decent road in North Korea, so it is extremely difficult to march.

For good, Zhou Charter's sentry is the forward of the team, advancing lightly, carrying only five days of dry food and light weapons, and the speed of marching is not bad. On the first day, he marched 80 miles and arrived in Yizhou that night.

However, after Yizhou, the situation is getting more and more frustrating.

The sentry walked through the mountains that could not be seen at a glance. The mountain road was extremely steep, sometimes it was a bottomless cliff, and sometimes it was a rapid river. The team's physical strength was greatly depleted. What's worse, the bodies of Qing soldiers and mules and horses could be seen everywhere along the way, causing a great blow to morale. The body is incomplete and the image is horrible. That's left by Zuo's precious troops, which has obviously paid a heavy price in the mountains of North Korea.

For four days in a row, the sentry had not come out of the mountains, and the soldiers were exhausted, but there were still mountains in front of them, as if there was no end.

It is almost dusk, the sun is setting in the west, the red light is shining on the mountain, and the sky is full of fire and clouds.

It seems that we can only camp in the wild tonight.

Zhou Charter was anxious. In order to pack lightly, the team only brought five days of dry food. Four days later, the team was still wandering in the mountains, and morale had reached the verge of collapse. Once the food was cut off, the sentry would probably be buried in the mountains.

Nahawu led a white horse, sitting on the horse, Yao Xi led a red horse and carried Jin Shu's mother. The mother and daughter are still covered with carbon ash,

Since entering the mountains, Jin Shu's mother has been expressionless and lowered her head without saying a word. Jin Shu became more and more excited. She kept looking left and right on the horse, laughing like a silver bell from time to time. She was stared at by her mother and hurriedly restrained her face.

Naha Wu and Yao Xi had a bitter face. They led the horse and dragged their feet with shallow feet. Hearing Jin Shu's laughter, the two opened their mouths to scold. When they saw Zhou Charter not far in front of them, they had to spit and spit back the dirty words in their throats.

"That uncle, be careful!" Jin Shu on the horse's back suddenly exclaimed.

Nahawu was so scared that he shuddered and hurriedly closed his feet. On this cliff, if you are not careful, if you step on it empty, you will fall into the bottomless abyss and fall to pieces

Nahawu looked down and saw that the road under his feet was very flat and there was nothing wrong with it. Nahawu shouted, "What howling!"

"I'm afraid that you will trample on Jindalai. Uncle, you see, Jindalai has blossomed."

There is indeed a white clump of Jindalai at his feet, which opens quietly on the rugged mountain road.

Naha didn't get angry and stepped on Jindalai with one foot: "I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes!"

Yao Xi, who walked behind, smiled and said, "Lao, this is yours wrong. I kindly remind you to pity Xiangxiyu. Your mother's puzzled amorous feelings, so I have to be a bachelor in my life."

"Amorous feelings! The amorous feelings of the bitch can be eaten as a meal! My food bag is empty!" Then Hawu had a large amount of food, five days of dry food, and I finished it in four days. I'm worried about what to eat today.

"Thanks to you, you are still a veteran," Yao Xi scolded, "I heard that you have fought with Lord Zuo Zongtang. Don't you know that you have to save food!"

"Where have I ever been to North Korea? Is this a place where fucking people come from? Climbing mountains every day, and it's not enough to bring ten days of dry food!"

Nahawu said the truth. The predecessor of this sentry was Zuo Zongtang's troops, which was used to fighting in the plains. It was very strange to the mountains. Before leaving, he carried dry food according to the habit of fighting in the plains. But when he entered the mountains, he found that the mountain's physical consumption was huge. The five-day dry food could only support four days, and there were already half of the soldiers. The soldiers are out of food.

How can hungry people be in the mood to watch Jindalai?

"Uncle, here you are." Jin Shu handed a small nest from the horse's back, which was only half the size of an apple.

Then Hawu grabbed the nest, swallowed it into his mouth, chewed it without chewing it, and cursed it: "You mother hurt me. It's okay not to eat it. It's even more uncomfortable to be hungry!" Ha Wu, who was hungry, ate half of the nest, not only did not relieve the hunger, but also hooked out the stomach acid and burned his stomach.

"But I don't have it, not at all." Jin Shu spread out her hands and said, "This half of the nest was saved by my mother."

Naha Wu stared at Jin Shu fiercely, which made Jin Shu tremble. She hurriedly buried her head and fell on the horse's back.

Another cluster of Jindalai appeared on the roadside, which was reflected in pink by the sunset and swayed in the wind. Nahawu stopped, leaned over and pulled two branches, and handed it to Jin Shu: "Take it!"

Jin Shu smiled and said, "That uncle, you are so kind."

Nahawu shouted with a black face, "What a fart! I want to be a starving ghost..."

Zhou Charter, who was walking in front of him, turned around, and Nahawu hurriedly silenced.

"Stop moving forward and camp in place!" Zhou Charter ordered.

With Zhou Charter's command, 108 people of the sentry fell flat on the roadside, and there was a wailing on the mountain road.

Before I saw the Japanese, Zhou Charter's sentry was beaten into a defeated general by North Korea's mountain!

In the past four days, the sentry under Zhou Charter has become more and more speechless.

This sentry is Song Qing's army, which has fought against the Nian army and fought in Shaanxi and Gansu, but in fact, there are only a few veterans in the team, and the others are all new recruits just recruited a month ago.

If this is the 21st century, they should train to take the right steps in the new barracks, and they may not even be able to touch the gun. However, in the Qing Dynasty, these recruits who had been in the army for a month actually carried Winchester, Schneider, Cassberg and Mauser guns to the battlefield!

It's good that they can fire the gun. For the rest, Zhou Charter really dares not hope.

Even the Western-style military ceremony, Zhou Charter also turned a blind eye and no longer made strict requirements.

Zhou Charter walked to Nahawu. Nahawu hurriedly raised his hand to "beckon the dog". Zhou Charter scolded, "I told you, find a place where there is no one to practice before you can talk about it!" With that, he untied a burden from his back and threw it to Naha Wu: "Then I'll give you one point."

Nahawu opened it and saw that there were fifty beef cakes in it, and suddenly drooled: "Master, you are still hiding this treasure."

"You eat one, and others eat half." Zhou Charter said, "Jin Shu's mother and daughter, one by one."

"Brother Zhou, just eat half of it with my mother." Jin Shu has got off her horse and followed Na Ha Wu.

Na Hawu shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. This is the boss's general. Who dares not to obey!" As Ha Wu said, he took out two beef cakes, stuffed them into Jin Shu, picked up one by himself, and took a bite first, and then divided the cakes for everyone.

"Tell everyone to save some food. I guess there is still one day to get to Pyongyang. When I get to Pyongyang, I'll buy you a drink!" Zhou Charter shouted at Nahawu's back.

"Good!" Then the five heads didn't look back.

With beef pie, the team was full of joy.

The sun has set, the moon is shining high, and the mountain breeze is blowing.
