It was already the afternoon of the next day when it was Huian Town at Etouling.

Zhou Huaian, who temporarily lived in the house of a small boat owner who escaped, had a rare sleep. Moreover, it was no longer a narrow compartment, with door panels, straw and coarse cloth hanging on the edge, fearing that he would roll to the ground, but an old bed with a slump in the old wooden furniture and a yellowed silk cotton mat, which would no longer have to worry about the possibility of getting up every day.

In addition, in addition to the silk cotton mat that was packed and taken away, he also obtained a woven blanket with obvious foreign style and color. However, it was obvious that most of the rebel soldiers who had copied here did not recognize the goods, but let them be torn into a ball and thrown it on the ground and were trampled with black marks.

However, according to Zhou Huaian's private identification and identification, this blanket should be a camel wool that is conducive to keeping warm and wool from high and cold mountains. It is made of more than a dozen hand-mixed and wool knitting, and naturally has a certain waterproof and moisture-proof effect; therefore, after shaking off the sludge and dust on it, it still has a certain texture and shiny texture.

This is a good thing. With the silk cotton mats before and the fine chicken and duck mattress collected by Zhou Huaian in private, it can be processed and sewn into a crude sleeping bag, and the sleeping plan that needs to be adjusted every day before it can fall asleep will be improved to a certain extent.

Then, after slowly finishing his breakfast, he got another good news after using local stinky fish sauce and pickled oysters, combined with yellow chestnut porridge and slightly sour flavored steamed yellow cakes. After some potential pressure, he had already rushed out overnight.

In this way, these townspeople can finally see them away and get rid of them in advance. The troubles and pressures brought by these armed personnel are just hidden in a certain depressing atmosphere and emotions.

After a group of soldiers were divided up, they carried the raised army to return to their base, and the remaining rebel soldiers continued to walk northwest and embarked on the road to the next whistle and grain area and where they were located.

According to the expected goals and directions, this trip to the whistle and food trip had just begun. After walking a distance, I found a village to stay, and the next day I saw another team of rebels who were rushing to meet, as well as the corresponding laborers who were replacing and replenishing the laborers.

In the following days, almost all of them were revolving around, passing seven or eight towns and villages one after another; the specific situations and circumstances were also different.

In the bottle water town near the tributary of Xiaojiang and mainly uses fish goods to make a living, most of them have the fishy smell of salted fish for several days.

In the five yuan mile near the mountainous area, the luggage team took away by the whistle grain team was hundreds of dollars more than a dozen chunks of raw medicine. In addition, dozens of mountain people and hunters who were willing to leave the rebels who were tempted by various metal houses and were willing to leave the rebels and hunters who were willing to make a breakthrough with the rebels.

In Shashan Township, which seems to be lackluster and poor, there is a small dock for salt transportation, hundreds of stones of mixed-colored coarse salt were harvested from the private cabin of the local ship owner.

As for Wujialia, which is mostly on slopes and terraced fields, in addition to the local sweet potatoes and taro, these rebel soldiers, who are mostly from the northern regions, had a meal of cold melons (watermelons) under the guidance and demonstration of Zhou Huaian. They also used some of the salt and salted fish collected from the place to exchange for many dried plums, peach jelly and bayberry.

In Hechengdu, which is famous for its wooden workshops and river ships, it was requisitioned and modified on-site, and more than a dozen large vehicles have expanded the capacity and maneuverability of the wardrobe team.

Then in Baoshan Township, which was relatively barren and with a high terrain, they also encountered the first resistance and open rejection. However, after the whistle and grain lineup were arranged, a team of people quickly collapsed after being injured by more than a dozen people. So much so that Zhou Huaian, who was staying in the back team, had not had time to see the specific battle scenes and make corresponding assessments, everything was completely over.

Therefore, the local area was also punitively and thoroughly robbed. Apart from a bunch of smashed and broken houses, it can be said that they have gained very little. In the end, about a hundred young men and women who had no time to escape, cried and became the main gain of this trip to the whistle. However, Zhou Huaian still tried his best to dissuade the whistle team from burning all the houses to serve as a warning.

Xingtou City, which is relatively rich and has a larger building scale, collided with another rebel army that was first to defend against the border, and was almost turned away. However, after a tense confrontation and mutual scolding, Deng Cun, the brigade coach who led the team, came forward to negotiate and fight, but he still failed to turn into a fire and attack between the two rebel army.

In the end, the whistle-and-grain team only received some extra money and a dozen donkeys and mules in the city and temporarily pieced together as compensation and cost to leave and go around the other party. However, under Zhou Huaian's suggestion and request, he also asked for all the patent medicines and pills and prescriptions from the local pharmacy shop, and took a beating doctor in the restaurant as a basic supplement.

As the coordinator of the deputy battalion manager and logistics assistant who was in the same process, while selecting and identifying various available objects for the rebels, he could also openly collect some private objects for himself as a benefit and gain for the itinerary of this trip. Therefore, all the objects he selected were soon loaded with a small flat-panel ox cart.

However, compared with the towns and towns near Guangzhou that were generally preserved and maintained due to the corruption and collapse of the government troops too quickly; the more you go along the small river branch, the more obvious and profound the traces and creativity brought by the war are. From time to time, the old and new corpses and flocks of crows that closed on the road, as well as the broken ruins of the burned grass market, post stations, and wild shops.

Therefore, this group of whistle grain teams also had almost no harvest. In a large-scale Guangtou Town on the riverside, all they could see was a dilapidated scene of nothing and no trace of people. In the end, except for a dozen dogs that could not be left in the crowd, only some rags that could not be taken away were left.

Therefore, after the brief summary proposed by the brigade coach Deng Cun, everyone unanimously decided to embark on the return journey; of course, in order to create benefits and results as much as possible, and reduce the waste of returning, Deng Cun planned to let the whistle team take another route back, so as to continue to raise troops along the way as much as possible, without taking empty-handed things from the return journey.

Regarding this, although Zhou Huaian felt that he would stop when he saw it, it would be better to return with an increasingly large and bloated team; but under a generally optimistic and excited mood, he did not have more skeptical positions or reasons and kept silent.

After all, the places that had been disturbed before could no longer squeeze out more supplies; and this group of people, plus nearly a thousand people from various labor and hundreds of livestock, can find some supplements on the return journey of strange routes.

Of course, during the relatively smooth journey, there were occasional discordant noises and episodes;

For example, if someone forced to buy and sell privately, or even openly rob people's wealth, although the military supplies were relatively abundant, they were punished by the brigade commander Deng Cunyu to varying degrees; in the end, Zhou Huaian came forward to compensate and recover.

This made him sigh that the common people of this era have very low requirements and are really easy to fool. As long as you add less favors and courtesy, you will temporarily completely forget the sufferings of life and the impermanence of the world, and give them the simplest touch and understanding.

Then, some soldiers were lost on the road and never found them again; this made Deng Cun very angry, believing that there were fugitives under his command, and ordered more severe regulatory measures and mutual supervision methods, which made the original and growing team's itinerary become more and more slow.

In the end, the slower and more complicated problems arose, so I had to temporarily stop in Shixiang Town near Sihui County to carry out some rectification and sorting.

Because it provides reprocessing for various spices imported from the sea, the local incense making industry has flourished, and it is called the place where even the stones are soaked in the fragrance. However, due to the impact of the war, as part of the luxury goods market, the local area has been in a state of depression for some days; various workshops and shops related to incense and medicine are closed down.

However, for Zhou Huaian, he seemed to have entered a treasure mountain in disguise. In this world, there are not many places where he can collect various spices.
