Chapter 195 Delivering Supplies
Lin Liuyi hung up the video call and immediately began procuring supplies.
She thought about what she needed most when climbing a snow-capped mountain: something to keep warm!
First, she needs to request a batch of military-grade compressed biscuits from Zhou Zheng, then some military overcoats, shoes, and so on. Oh, and she also needs to purchase some hand warmers; they're very useful.
There's also a thermos. It's probably not easy to drink hot water over there, so having this keeps the water warm so they can have something hot to drink whenever they feel cold on the road.
She was writing down the items she needed in her notebook while answering Zhou Zheng's phone call.
"June 1st, I heard you're applying for a batch of compressed biscuits and military supplies, what happened?"
“Sigh, my new readers are comrades from the Long March. They are currently climbing snow-capped mountains, and I want to help them,” Lin Liuyi said, expressing his thoughts.
"The Long March? Is it the Long March I know?"
"Yes, it's the Long March," Lin Liuyi said with absolute certainty.
Zhou Zheng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "June 1st, I will arrange for people to prepare this batch of supplies immediately. Also, I need to report this matter to my superiors."
Lin Liu nodded. "No problem, I'll send a batch over to them first."
Soon, all the supplies were ready.
"For June 1st, besides compressed biscuits, military overcoats, and cotton shoes, I've also added some medicine for treating frostbite, hats, gloves, snow goggles, and tents. Please send them all over."
Although Zhou Zheng couldn't see what was happening over there, he still couldn't help but stare at Lin Liuyi.
The snow-capped mountains soared into the clouds, covered in white snow, and the fierce wind swept through the mountains like knives, carrying snowflakes.
Chen Ergou and his comrades, dressed in rags, struggled to move forward in this extremely cold place. Every step felt like a thousand pounds, and their physical strength was severely exhausted. Many of his comrades had already turned blue in the lips and were staggering.
He and Sun Zhuang had just given the items to the quartermaster, who was also extremely shocked.
Chen Ergou recounted the events in detail, and the two of them even said, somewhat embarrassed, that they had each eaten a piece of chocolate.
"Good, good, you are all good comrades! With these things, our soldiers can live a little longer!" Quartermaster Sheng Kuang couldn't help but wipe away his tears.
As the quartermaster, he also had a tough time. Seeing the soldiers wearing thin and tattered uniforms, many of them with their straw sandals torn and their feet red and swollen from the cold, he felt extremely distressed.
He could only try his best to find supplies. He was only wearing an old military uniform, stuffed with straw for warmth. Now that they had supplies, their soldiers could finally live a little better.
Director Sheng contacted the team leader and reported the matter.
Then the whole team stopped, and they poured the chocolate into the hot water boiled with snowmelt, trying to make sure that every soldier could have a sip of the hot, sweet drink.
"Wow, it's sweet!" Some of the young comrades were overjoyed. The sweet hot water made the snow mountain seem less cold.
After resting, the group continued their journey against the wind and snow.
As for the remaining supplies, there's still a long way to go, and they need to plan carefully.
That thermos was eventually given to Chen Ergou.
After all, it was the supplies and the hope that he brought.
"Hello, reader!" After preparing his things, Lin Liuyi started to connect with Chen Ergou.
"Hello, my name is Chen Ergou! Thank you for the supplies you sent last time!" Chen Ergou was excited to see that Lin Liuyi had really come again and quickly expressed his gratitude.
This time, Lin Liuyi wasn't in a hurry. She briefly explained the situation, and Chen Ergou then realized that the two of them were from different worlds. To be honest, he had been thinking of Lin Liuyi as some kind of snow mountain goddess!
"Then why did you help us? I only gave you a wild grass dumpling as a reward." Chen Ergou asked, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Because you have walked the same path we have walked, we know how difficult and dangerous your journey has been. Now that we have the opportunity to meet you, we want to help you."
Lin Liuyi decided to be more explicit and recounted the arduous journey that China had gone through to Chen Ergou.
Chen Ergou only asked one question, "In the end, did we win?"
"Yes, we won! We have built a new and great motherland, prosperous and harmonious, where the people can be masters of their own destiny, and society is harmonious and stable!"
"That's wonderful! That's wonderful!" Chen Ergou listened to Lin Liuyi's words, imagining that one day their world would be like this, and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Comrade Chen, are you ready to receive the supplies?"
"Wait, wait!" Upon hearing this, Chen Ergou quickly ran to the quartermaster.
Director Sheng led a team of soldiers, forming a circle, and everyone watched as more and more supplies accumulated within the circle.
That's a military overcoat with a hat; it looks very sturdy!
Wow, those leather shoes look even better than the ones worn by the Japanese captain. They must be very warm!
And those things that look like bamboo tubes, are they water cups? Oh my, how much iron must that have taken? If only they could all be used to make bullets!
After the supplies were delivered, Lin Liuyi began explaining to them how to use each item.
"Comrade Chen, I brought extra things this time. Why don't you distribute them to everyone first? If they're short, I can send more!"
Chen Ergou relayed Lin Liuyi's suggestion, and upon seeing this, Director Sheng instructed the soldiers to come and collect their military overcoats first.
But no one made the first move. "Director, are we really going to have such nice clothes? Why don't we leave them for our other colleagues? We can still carry them a bit longer!"
"Carry my ass! Tiger, look at your clothes, they're practically falling apart! Listen to the section chief, get them now, that's an order!"
Soon, everyone came to collect their clothes in an orderly fashion.
"This military overcoat is so warm!" A soldier touched it, but dared not wear it because he was too dirty.
"Wear it! Clothes are meant to be worn!" Lin Liuyi advised Chen Ergou, who was also reluctant to wear the clothes.
"Damn it, get your clothes on right now! We still have work to do!" Director Sheng urged them, fighting back tears.
"Also, bring your hats, boots, and those wool socks. Put some ointment on them before you put them on, otherwise your feet will itch. You can also put the ointment on your hands and face. After you're done, put on your gloves and masks."
"And that pile is made of compressed biscuits. Just a small piece is enough to cook a whole pot, but it might not taste as good!"
"Hey over there, this is a heat pack. If you still feel cold, just stick it on your clothes through them. Never stick it directly on your skin, or you'll get burned."
“That’s a snow goggle. You’re always looking at the snow, which can easily cause snow blindness. It’s better to wear these when you’re walking.”
"Also, over there are tents. You can set them up to block the wind if you get tired, but be careful not to let them get weighed down by the snow."
Lin Liuyi gave the other person careful instructions, just like a mother instructing her child.
