Chapter 134 What’s the future like?
"Captain! Look! It's a transmitter."
The company commander's body shook violently, and he quickly jumped into the pit, his eyes fixed on the radio.
He was overjoyed and handed it solemnly to the signalman, asking him to keep it well. With this thing, they would be able to contact the main force.
The signalman held the transmitter with care, nodded ecstatically, and promised: "I will protect it with my life!"
Gu Dongfeng couldn't help but share the good news with everyone in the group.
"You know what! The doctor told me today that thanks to the medicine, a twelve-year-old child's foot was saved!"
"Also, when we were cooking the compressed vegetables, everyone gathered around to watch. After seeing the vegetables grow bigger, everyone was very surprised, haha!"
"Oh, right! There's also dried meat. We haven't seen meat in a long time! But everyone is really thrifty. They cut the dried meat into slices, throw it in water, and only eat it after it's soaked."
"My fellow villagers told me that they have never seen rice without stones mixed in it. I don't really understand, how can there be stones in rice?"
Gu Dongfeng had never had to worry about food and clothing since he was a child and had no idea about this.
The other group members are either very young or come from wealthy families, so naturally they don’t understand this.
Only Cui Xuehui knows something about the situation: "It was really like this 20 or 30 years ago. There was a lot of sand in Mili, but now that the industry is developed, it is difficult to find stones and sand in Mili."
Gu Dongfeng and his group friends suddenly realized what was going on, and then Gu Dongfeng happily thanked Jiang Ruchu: Sister, the book you gave me is really useful.
The accompanying doctor in their team is called a doctor, but his medical skills are certainly not comparable to those of doctors in the modern world. He can only know some basic knowledge of medication and simple bandaging.
Jiang Ruochu (Modern World): Thank you, netizens. This is a magical book about time travel summarized by netizens. By the way, did you eat enough? Is it to your taste?
Gu Dongfeng (Modern World): Enough, enough! Who cares about the taste? It's good to have something to eat. The most important thing is that we have a radio transmitter. Hehe, as long as we can meet up with the main force, we will be safe for the time being.
Gu Dongfeng (Modern World): Sister, you are so awesome that you can even get an old-fashioned radio.
Jiang Ruochu (Modern World): This is your family’s thing. It’s a collection that your grandfather took a picture of. Have you forgotten?
Gu Dongfeng (Modern World): Huh? ?
Gu Dongfeng recalled carefully, touched his nose and responded awkwardly: Oh, it seems I have some memory.
Although Gu Dongfeng said this, he actually had no memory of it at all. After all, it happened a long time ago.
Looking at Gu Dongfeng's memory, Jiang Ruochu thought it was not surprising that he had completely forgotten his great-grandfather's name.
Jiang Ruochu (Modern World): I have met your family.
Gu Dongfeng (Modern World): How are my family members? My grandma must be worried about me.
Jiang Ruochu (Modern World): Your grandma is in good health, you don't have to worry too much.
Jiang Ruochu (Modern World): In short, you have to live well, and then we will work together to find a way to help you come back, okay?
Gu Dongfeng (Modern World): Don't worry! I'm in trouble. Once I'm out of this predicament, we'll study it carefully!
In a short period of time, Jiang Ruochu clearly felt that Gu Dongfeng had undergone significant changes.
He is no longer timid, but becomes more responsible and optimistic.
Gu Dongfeng (Modern World): They called me to eat, so I'll go over first.
Gu Dongfeng had never been so happy to hear the word "eat" as he was now.
In the evening, everyone gathered around the pot, looking at the steaming vegetable and minced meat soup with shining eyes.
When the floating meat foam in the pot swirled in the soup, everyone couldn't help swallowing and their eyes lit up like light bulbs.
"I haven't smelled such delicious meat in a long time."
"My family used to only be able to eat meat during the Chinese New Year."
"This smells so good, I can eat two more bowls of rice just by smelling it."
"What are you thinking about? There's no way I can give you that much food!"
"No, the company commander said that you can eat as much as you want tonight, don't worry!"
When the food in the pot was cooked, the aroma of the food made everyone eager to eat and they began to swallow their saliva involuntarily.
Although everyone was very excited and expectant, they still exercised strict self-discipline, maintained order in the team, and let the fellow villagers serve first - this was an iron order from the company commander.
However, the villagers pushed the food away and let the young soldiers serve first.
It was Gu Dongfeng who spoke up: "Don't be so polite to each other, the food is getting cold! Let's line up together, serve together, and eat together! The military and civilians are one family!"
The company commander rubbed Gu Dongfeng's head and said, "Look at what you can do!"
Then he waved his hand cheerfully: "Okay, let's line up together."
Upon hearing this, everyone brought their bowls and happily lined up. In the long line, there were old people, children, and soldiers from the Red Kylin Regiment. Everyone was having a great time. After the meal, they found a place to sit down and start eating.
There was an enticing aroma in everyone’s bowl. Some of them ate with relish, while others chatted while eating. It was not just a filling meal but also a lively and warm night.
"Brother Gu, what did you say when you prayed to the gods? After dinner, I want to try and see if the gods will listen to my prayers."
"I'll go too, I'll go too." Everyone was very enthusiastic and everyone wanted to go and make a request.
The company commander raised his hand and knocked on one of the men's heads: "What are you begging for? There are so many people chattering, and you don't find it annoying. Even gods would find it annoying."
After all, the company commander is older than them, has more experience, and is more determined.
He didn't want these soldiers to pin their hopes on the illusory gods. After all, the gods could help them once, but not every time.
In the end, people have to rely on themselves.
Gu Dongfeng knew where his things came from, so he quickly chimed in, "Yes! The captain is right. This depends on chance."
The company commander earnestly educated everyone: "Besides, do you have as much knowledge as Xiao Gu? Do you know as many words as he does? He can even speak a few words in foreign languages, can you?"
Everyone shook their heads honestly.
The company commander's words made Gu Dongfeng feel particularly guilty. He knew very well that he was just a rich second-generation who was uneducated and had no knowledge. It was just that the knowledge he had was nothing in modern times, but in this world he was considered a well-read man.
"Do you know why your prayers are useless, but Xiao Gu's prayers are useful? It's because Xiao Gu is more knowledgeable than you. If you really want to pray to the gods, wait until the war is over, study hard, and learn to read. Then the gods will listen to your wishes."
If it were in the past, Gu Dongfeng would definitely think that the company commander was talking nonsense, but now he has become mature and can understand the company commander's good intentions. He will nod in cooperation: "Yes, yes."
"I understand! I will study hard in the future! I will start with the Three What Sutras! Everyone in our school memorizes this."
“It’s the Three Character Classic!”
"How about Brother Gu teach us a few words of English first?"
Everyone was talking and imagining the future.
Suddenly, a very young voice came out: "But when will this day end?"
I don't know who said this, and everyone fell silent again.
The atmosphere seemed to become heavy at this moment, with only the crackling sound of firewood and the firelight illuminating everyone's dark faces.
No one knows when the war will end, where they will be tomorrow, or what the future will be like.
