Chapter 191 The coolness of the valley in winter
I walked more than ten miles on the mountain road in the dark, carrying a small square stool, and came to the big square of the brigade headquarters. This was a concentrated viewing of a movie, two in a row, "Wei Guobao" Home" and "Iron Warrior."
“Let’s get together and lean on each other. I’m so sleepy. I’ve watched these two movies so many times.”
There were quite a few students who had watched them, so we all crowded together. It’s a bit warmer. The training during the day and the ten-mile mountain road have exhausted everyone’s energy. Now we are all exhausted. Basically, we work in groups of several people. We slept two games back to back, and then walked ten miles back in the dark. Camp area.
The emergency assembly has been held a few times again. After many exercises, the students have made great progress. When they gather again in an emergency, they dress up and pack their backpacks quietly and extremely skillfully.
The biggest trouble is that there is no place to bathe and wash clothes. There are two wells in the camp. It takes a day to save some dishwater for one. The other is a hand-operated well. The well head is sealed, and there is no amount of water. Know.
Between training, you can take advantage of the good sunshine at noon and take a bath in the open air with water from a well. In November, you can bathe in the open air when the breeze blows. It is really sour and refreshing, even freezing.
But often after applying soap once, the water is gone. When the wind blows, the skin becomes tight. Zhu Xuefeng catches up with him once. This is not tap water. It may come after a while, so he can only wipe it dry. After barely cleaning up, there are quite a few students who are in a mess.
Every Sunday is a day off. You can take time off to go out and bathe in a valley outside the camp. It takes three hours to go back and forth. Only one group can leave the camp at a time. When they come back, it is the turn of the next group.
It’s a bit cold today, and the temperature is obviously much lower than yesterday.
"Who wants to take a bath in the valley? Let's go together."
"Old Liu, just make trouble. If you go to the valley to take a bath in this temperature, you will freeze to death before you finish washing. I won't go and stay here." The dormitory is pretty good."
"Who said that I am almost a bacon person? If I don't go to the bubble, it will be our turn."
Everyone shook their heads at this temperature. It's probably almost freezing, so I might as well forget about taking a cold bath in the ravine, it makes me cold just thinking about it.
"Brother Six, I'll go with you."
"Okay, guys from the south are not afraid of the cold. Hurry up, if you don't go this week, it will definitely be even colder next week."
After lunch, the two packed up their things and left the camp. The temperature was too low today, and no one lined up to take a shower.
When we came to the ravine, the water was also very shallow. After searching for a while, we found a puddle. A big stone blocked the light, making it a bit dark. There was actually a light layer of mist on the water.
"Take off your clothes, let's turn on the physical activity before washing. Otherwise, something really bad will happen, the temperature is too low."
Zhu Xuefeng is soaking in the water, just leave his head. outside.
"Don't you come down and take a dip? Didn't you say it all stinks?"
"I love taking a dip in you, be careful of getting sick in such cold water."
Fang Jiaming shouted that he had been fooled, this The weather was bad and there was no sun. I tested the water temperature with my feet and decided to forget it and go into the water. It was unimaginable that I could just use a towel dipped in water to wipe it off.
Zhu Xuefeng didn't take it seriously. He knew his physical fitness.
"If you believe me, come down. It's really better to be underwater than to stay above. After washing, I'll treat you to braised eggs. Come down."
Fang Jiaming came down doubtfully. When I got into the water, my teeth were still chattering. After my whole body was soaked in water, I felt a little better, at least there was no breeze blowing.
"Brother Six, this is the first time we have taken a bath since we came here. No, you took a bath at the well at noon a few days ago, haha."
Zhu Xuefeng was speechless. This incident was laughed at by several people in the dormitory for several days.
"At least I took a shower. You haven't even washed yourself once. You already stink. You still have the nerve to laugh at me."
The weather was a bit cold today. When I went ashore to wipe it down, But it was so cold, it felt like it was going to snow. Although the two of them moved very quickly, they were still shivering from the cold.
But after taking a bath, I still felt a lot more relaxed. Unfortunately, no fairies came to join in the fun. Fang Jiaming still remembered it. As expected, myths are all lies. Zhu Xuefeng took out a few braised eggs from his bag like magic.
"Two of you, please replenish your energy. If anyone tells them not to come, there will be no one who doesn't come."
"Brother Six, the winter in the north is too cold for you. Well, where we are, we are still wearing single clothes. Wear a thin coat at most.”
Fang Jiaming sneezed. Don’t they say that southerners can withstand colder weather than northerners? Sixth Brother is a weirdo. .
"Damn, you kid sneezed. Go back to the cafeteria soon and order some ginger soup to ward off the cold. Don't be careless."
Most of the students haven't washed themselves once a month. , not everyone can muster the courage to jump into the cold mountain spring water. Nine times out of ten, they will catch a cold, which may turn into pneumonia.
Everyone’s beige training clothes are all white and stained with salt. Although it is cold at night, you sweat a lot during training during the day, and then are dried by body temperature. Day after day, the training clothes are all stained. Able to stand.
The two of them ran back to the camp shivering, hurried to the canteen, and drank a bowl of ginger soup. They really felt better.
Monitor Tian looked at the two people in surprise.
"You two silly boys, you went to take a bath in the ravine when it was so cold. How come you two didn't freeze to death?"
It snowed a little in the evening, but it was too light, and the training ground didn't even turn white. Stopped.
"This is the snow in the north. It can't even bury a grass root. Aren't books describing heavy snowfall like goose feathers?"
Fang Jiaming was so excited when he saw snow for the first time. He ran around with his mouth open, wanting to have a close contact with his tongue coating, but unfortunately, it was completely different from the continuous heavy snow in the book. It was covered in silver. What was this, a leprous?
"There is a lack of water vapor in the air now. When the cold wave really comes, you will know what the heavy snow in the north is."
Although it only snowed a little, the temperature dropped overnight and the ground But it was freezing and stiff. Tactical training was obviously more uncomfortable. I fell forward and my bones hurt. The training clothes couldn't stop the loss of body temperature at all. On the contrary, I was freezing after training for a while. There was no other way, so Team Leader Tian changed the training program and went straight to running.
Fortunately, the weather cleared up on the third day. Training in this kind of weather is really challenging for college students with poor physical fitness. They basically have several colds every day.
The canteen also prepares ginger soup for dinner every day. Otherwise, the staff will be reduced even more, and the sick people will have to help in the kitchen. They will receive some care. Generally, they will only be given two days to recover before they have to return to training. .
We can’t have a company of more than a dozen people helping cook, and they all look ridiculous. It’s not like everyone can’t stand it, so they all insist on it.
I don’t know how my younger brothers and sisters are doing at home, and whether the new heating method works well. Although I designed it myself, I forgot to try heating it at the time, so I tried it to see if it leaked.
"Second brother, it's too cold today, can you burn this stove?"
"Eldest brother said that when it gets cold, he can burn it at any time. When this stove burns, the house will It’s getting warmer.”
The kangs in the three rooms in the west wing were all removed. There was a light snowfall last night, and the temperature dropped a lot. There was no one in the room, and it was still very cold at night. I can only wrap myself up in a new quilt and fall asleep early. I can't study for a while even if I want to.
"Let's burn it. The firewood prepared by brother should be enough, but I don't know if his method really saves coal and firewood as he said."
Coal is supplied according to the plan and cannot be left open. After burning, according to Zhu Xuefeng's arrangement, briquettes would only be burned when people were sleeping, sealed, and burned on a low fire until dawn.
Zhu Xuesong was cooking, so Zhu Xuemei lit the fire in the fireplace. The wood was very dry and the fire was burning fiercely. After a while, the water temperature of the heater rose, and the room became noticeably warmer.
"Second brother, this stove works so well. It's already warm in just a moment."
