After marching for half a day, they sat down in the mountains and had their meal.

Although the time was not long, everyone was exhausted.

The Red Army comrades were in a better situation, although carrying dozens of kilograms of loads was quite strenuous. However, the porters were carrying hundreds of kilograms of loads, which was heavy and slow.

"This mountain road is not easy to walk on," Lei Ming handed over a few of his buns when he saw the porters sweating a lot and putting in so much effort but could only eat bread and pickles.

They did not belong to the Red Army, but were in an employment relationship. However, despite this, it was still a bit hard to bear to see these people eating such unnutritious food.

When the others saw the section chief doing this, they also unpacked their packages and distributed the remaining buns to other porters.

When Shen Jin was about to share his few buns, he was stopped by Wei Ruolai who was standing beside him.

"Jinzhen, give me some of mine, and you keep these. Other comrades left a lot for me last night."

Wei Ruolai wanted Jinzhen to eat more because there was meat in the buns. If it rained and he could only eat pancakes and steamed bread, Jinzhen might not be able to hold on.

He walked forward and shared his buns with others.

The food at the Soviet State Bank was better than that at other companies. Although not as good as that at the leadership level, it was one of the few places in Ruijin where one could eat eggs in the morning and have meat in stir-fried dishes at noon and in the evening.

When the porters saw that their food had improved, they immediately burst into tears and stood up to bow to the Red Army soldiers.

"Comrade Hongjun, don't worry, we will definitely be able to deliver all the instruments and equipment you need safely."

They were all strong young or middle-aged people from nearby villages, with better physical strength than most ordinary people. Although the items they were carrying were heavy, they also knew that they were very expensive and important supplies, so they kept assuring them.

"Be careful."

Lei Ming felt a little reluctant, so after giving a few instructions, he sat down and ate the bun in his hand.

Shen Jinzhen opened the bag that Song Meijuan gave her. Inside was some food made of sorghum flour, and a red date was placed on each of them. It was really thoughtful.

She couldn't finish all of this by herself, so she could share it with other comrades if they were hungry at night.

Since lunch had been prepared the day before, there was no need to make a fire to cook, and the marching speed was tried to be as fast as possible.

"Okay, everyone gather and continue on your journey."

After Kong Lingzheng was injured and unable to join the army, their special company was directly incorporated into the team under Battalion Commander Bai.

Seeing that they had almost finished eating and the other troops had already stood up, he immediately ordered the special company to prepare to set off as well.

Shen Jinzhen immediately packed his bags and prepared to set off.

After carrying the things on her back, she clearly felt her hair being weighed down. Wei Ruolai had been keeping an eye on her and helped Jinzhen tidy up her clothes.

"If you come, I can do it. Just take care of yourself."

The mountain road was rugged, and they had to walk from Yunshi Mountain to Yudu County. Shen Jin really didn't want to drag Wei Ruolai down because of his health.

"I'm fine, not too tired."

He exercises every day, and when he was a child, he basically walked on mountain roads when he went out. Although he carried a lot of things, it was within his ability to carry.

The group continued walking, and finally managed to get out the next day.

On the third day of the march, Shen Jinzhen also welcomed the first patient.

One porter slipped down the mountain because he didn't walk carefully, and his body was covered in blood, but fortunately he protected the assets of the Red Army comrades and they were not damaged.
