Chapter 764: Fish
early morning.
The mercenary captain was naked, his strong left shoulder was wrapped with a bandage, and he had a cool smile on his face.
After debridement and suturing the mercenary player Silva last night, the wound on the captain's left shoulder was also taken care of by Ma Yanlin. His shoulder was scratched while resisting the assault boat, which was less severe than Silva's injury, but because it was not treated at all, there were signs of redness, swelling and inflammation.
Next to him, is the Demoman with a wounded thigh. The blaster also stretched his thighs, and the white bandages were tightly tied on the bulging muscles. He himself also took off his army trousers and put on a pair of shorts he got from a beggar. Looking at his lower body, he looked like an unlucky beachgoer.
And on the left of the mercenary captain was Silva who had relieved his tension.
Silva's waist was tied with a bandage, and he looked as if he had been shot, with a nonchalant smile on his face, looking at the rising sun, he said with a smile: "Captain, I'm free today, I want to Don't open the road in Kuba Town."
"How to get through?" The captain also squinted his eyes, looking at the wide water surface and the surrounding mud, with a friendly attitude as if he was attending a kindergarten parent meeting.
Silva looked at the river several hundred meters wide, but he didn't have any idea, he just licked his lips and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of bonuses, the money you can get without shooting, don't waste it."
"After the river passes, there is a valley. Now it is full of mud. It will collapse from time to time, and there is also the risk of mudslides. Even if you can risk it, it is not considered a cleared road." The captain looked in the direction of Kuba Town, He said calmly: "The original road must have been washed out and blocked a lot. If we just want to clear a mountain road several kilometers long, the risk is no less than shooting."
"That would be too wasteful." Silva sighed, and said with some reluctance: "I thought the commission for this trip could be doubled."
"We have arrived at the predetermined location, and if we protect Doctor Ling well, we will earn enough money for you to enjoy for a few months, so save your life." The captain didn't mean to risk his life. Although the distance between Kuba Town and Guozheng Charity Hospital is close, after heavy rains, floods and mudslides, the smooth road that only took a few minutes to drive has become a dangerous area that is difficult to pass. Under such circumstances, he does not think it is possible to open the way.
Maybe the team going to Kuba Town, borrow the personnel and equipment in the town, there is something to do, but the captain has no idea about it.
It is precisely because the hospital is more dangerous and the chances of winning bonuses are less, the captain will take the initiative to come to the hospital.
As the manager of the team, he was also worried about this. Fortunately, the result was good, and the hospital was more comfortable than expected.
"It's almost time, I'm going to go fish." The Demoman looked at his watch, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "The weather is fine."
The captain and Silva looked outside at the same time. The rain seemed to be a little lighter than yesterday, but it was only from heavy rain to heavy rain. Moreover, due to the sun rain, the air was still extremely humid and hot...
But the smile on the Demoman's face was very real.
"The last time I saw him smile like this, there were three burning tank trucks in front of him." Silva shook his head: "He wouldn't set the kitchen on fire."
The captain smiled: "Don't worry,
This kid is best at using fire. When he was 14, he burned down a neighbor's barn and extinguished the fire before it reached his own house. "
"How did he do it?"
"He bought something at the border, and when the fire came, he used an explosion to extinguish the fire. It is said that no fire extinguisher was used. I think this part is bragging."
Silva was surprised: "I never thought that such a quiet person would have such a childhood when he was fishing."
"Probably because waiting for the enemy to run over a landmine is similar to fishing."
Silva thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
...
early morning.
Ling Ran took Ma Yanlin to finish the ward rounds, and the restaurant was already full of food.
Brazil is a country rich in products, worthy of the name of its vast land and abundant resources. Therefore, their tables have always been abundant, and even though they were trapped in the hospital, the restaurant still provided a buffet.
However, today's dishes are still dominated by fish and beef.
With the weight of a zebu, it is still impossible to finish eating the one that was slaughtered the day before, and the fish are mainly freshly caught.
In fact, not only some people in the mercenary team liked fishing, but also those who were stranded in the hospital also liked fishing. In the absence of communication, lack of electricity, and the inability to go out to play, many people tried their best to collect fishing gear, including fishing, netting, and caged fishing.
Ling Ran, who had only slept for two hours, looked handsome and handsome. He entered the door with a cloudy smile, and then went to pick up some food with a plate.
Ma Yanlin was a little sluggish, but also feeling hungry, and followed closely behind Ling Ran.
The blaster among the mercenaries had been waiting in the dining room, and when he saw Ling Ran appear, he hurried up to say hello, and said in English, "Doctor Ling, I made a fish that you Chinese like, please try it." taste."
"Okay." Ling Ran didn't object to this, and under the guidance of Zao Demoman, he picked up a piece of fish steak four fingers wide and fried it into golden yellow.
"Try it, you can sprinkle some salt on it." The Demoman helped twist some sea salt onto the fish steak.
Ma Yanlin followed behind, also holding a piece of small fish fillet.
Ling Ran was not in a hurry to get other dishes, so he sat down with a plate and tasted it first.
Thick fish meat, after frying, the outer skin is golden and crispy, while the inner meat is very flexible, which is quite elastic. At first taste, it is a bit like cod meat, but it is more chewy. It has a taste between fish and meat. It is not only special, but also extremely delicious.
Ling Ran took two bites before asking, "What kind of fish is this?"
"Water-monkey," the Demoman replied in English.
"Water monkey?" Ling Ran translated in Chinese and asked, "Why do you say it is a fish that Chinese people like?"
"Because it's a water monkey. I know Chinese people like this fish very much." The blaster scratched his head, like a mountain orangutan: "I've been to Hong Kong twice, and they all like it."
"Like mouse spots or tiger spots?" Ma Yanlin was still thinking.
Selina also came to the restaurant at this time. Hearing the translation of the two, she couldn't help but pursed her lips, showing a professional expression, and said, "water-monkey is dragon fish."
"Arowana?" Ma Yanlin opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"Golden arowana, silver arowana, etc." Selina said, "Brazilians don't like to eat it very much, because they think it has too many spines, so they often only take fish fillets and discard both sides."
Ma Yanlin suddenly said: "Fengshui fish."
"That's right." Selina nodded.
Ma Yanlin got up quickly, picked up another big fish steak, then stared at it in a daze, and said, "If my chopsticks are placed in China, they will cost at least three to five thousand yuan. Is it a trick to use a puddle of oil here?"
Hearing that they were speaking Chinese, the blaster became even more anxious, and asked, "What did you say?"
Selina thought for a while, and said to Demoman, "This is the fish that Chinese people pray for good luck."
"Really? Well, what we need most now is good luck, and I want to eat a piece too." The Demoman immediately stepped forward and grabbed a large piece of fish fillet. When people around heard it, they also gathered together.
"Fish for good luck? If Dr. Ling believes it, we should have a piece too."
"The fish that the sage likes must bring good luck."
"I also caught a water monkey yesterday, but I chopped it up and used it as bait, but it doesn't matter, I should still be able to catch it."
"Let's go fishing together."
