Due to the distance of tens of meters and looking from top to bottom, Jiang Kexin could not clearly see the person at the front of the troop queue with his own eyesight.
You can use the camera function of your mobile phone to zoom in and the picture will be different.
Chen Ming, a boy she has considered to be the best friend since high school, an ordinary guy who is always shy and smiling, an ordinary person in her eyes, and "that cheap boyfriend of yours" in the mouth of her roommate.
Only two months later.
But she felt that Chen Ming's whole person had changed. He had become mature, more charming, and at the same time, he had become indifferent.
Jiang Kexin knew very well that maybe all these changes came from the other party's unreserved dedication in the past, but now he ignored her. This was an illusion brought to her by worrying about gains and losses.
However, even if it was an illusion, Jiang Kexin couldn't help but turn off her phone, open the car door, and subconsciously prepared to run over to him, wanting to ask why the other person's attitude changed so quickly.
He was obviously not like this before joining the army.
The driver, a girl named Lulu, who was leaning on the car window and watching with gusto, heard the car door being opened and looked back blankly.
When he found Jiang Kexin getting out of the car, he was stunned: "Isn't it right, Xinxin? You can't see enough in the car, so you want to run out?"
"Ah, that's fine. Just wait for me. I want to see them too. There are so many soldiers, and I don't usually meet them."
Lulu opened the car door and was about to follow, but in a blink of an eye she saw Jiang Kexin looking for a place to set foot and going downhill.
"Hey, are you crazy? Just stand here and watch. How close do you want to get?"
Lulu was a very nervous girl and didn't notice anything was wrong with Jiang Kexin.
Naively, she thought she just wanted to get closer and admire Brother Bing's military demeanor.
As for girls, in junior high school they liked the gangsters from the next class, in high school they liked the members of the basketball team, in the first two years of college they liked the military training instructors, but in the second two years they became more realistic and liked the older men with careers, it’s normal!
She didn't see anything wrong, but the other girl still sitting in the car, Yang Tingting, who had been yelling to drive slower, found something was wrong.
He quickly opened the car door and grabbed Jiang Kexin's arm aggressively: "What are you doing?"
"Are you stupid? When you see a soldier, do you want to go over and get closer?"
"No, look who is the one at the front resisting the flag?" Jiang Kexin said hurriedly.
"Who is it?" Yang Tingting squinted her eyes and said, "It's nothing special. He's just a handsome guy carrying a flag."
"Oops!" Jiang Kexin stamped her feet and said impatiently: "Don't you think he looks familiar? Let's take a look again?"
"Are you familiar? I think all the handsome guys are familiar, and it's not like you don't know." Yang Tingting said nonchalantly.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Kexin knew that she couldn't make sense, so she simply took out her phone and turned on the camera function again, focusing the lens on Chen Ming.
But now, as the training team moved, Chen Ming's position was far beyond what they could see.
After the camera zoomed in, only a silhouette was captured.
After all, Chen Ming and Yang Tingting were students in the same school, and they had met at least a few times. Yang Tingting just glanced at her and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Chen Ming? Isn't this your cheap boyfriend?"
"Yes, so I'm going to find him. There are some things I want to ask clearly." Jiang Kexin said, before going downhill from the main road to the small road again.
But she was pulled back by Yang Tingting, and she couldn't help scolding her: "My dear Miss Jiang, why are you still looking for that scumbag?"
"Didn't you say that he didn't want you anymore after he joined the army? In the past, he was asking for trouble. Besides, look at the situation. It's the army. You think you are the king of bandits, but you really dare to go and stop him. ?”
"So what if I stopped him? Look at the female soldier with long legs and holding a camera next to that scumbag. The two of them were talking and laughing. I'm not going to hit you, just use my eyes. Look, this woman is planning something evil at first glance, look at her smile, it looks like a morning glory."
Yang Tingting pointed at the picture captured by her mobile phone and said confidently.
Lulu, who had been silent next to her, poked her head over to take a look.
Her home is near Xiaowugong Mountain, and it's not uncommon to see people from the army coming out to practice.
So I also know more about the military camp.
After staring at the screen for a while, Lulu shook her head: "Don't talk nonsense. This female soldier is an officer. Look at the bar and two stars on her shoulders. She is a small leader in the army."
"I guess the two of them were just talking about some things in the army. Chen Ming doesn't seem to have a military rank yet. He is a top soldier. The two of them are just superiors and subordinates. What are they thinking? Xinxin, don't listen to Tingting's nonsense. Chen Ming is very nice. Okay, why is he such a scumbag?"
"Hey, who are you talking to? He dumped Xinxin when he was a soldier. Isn't he considered a scumbag?" Yang Tingting was furious in an instant, her tone was very dissatisfied.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Jiang Kexin was also struggling just now whether Chen Ming was really close to the female soldier, so she ignored her recently.
Now that I heard Lulu's words, I felt instantly relieved. When I turned around and looked again, I realized that the leader of the troop training line had gone away.
From her position, Chen Ming could no longer be seen.
Jiang Kexin sighed inwardly, and decided to find an opportunity to ask clearly. Even if they break up, they can't be so unclear. Even if they break up, she should be the first to mention it.
After all this fuss, the three of them still had the time to have fun. They turned around and were about to get in the car, when a troop carrier suddenly came next to them and stopped in front of them.
A veteran who looked sturdy got out of the car.
If Chen Ming were here, he would definitely recognize that this veteran was Cheng Tiehu, the squad leader of the third squad.
His task is to press the vehicles and material transport vehicles.
On the way just now, he spotted this white car, but he didn't take it seriously. When he got closer, he realized that the three of them were taking pictures with their mobile phones.
It wouldn't matter if it was normal. The army's training team often passed by this area, and pedestrians taking photos seemed irrelevant.
But not now.
During the major military training, the military region has entered the first level of internal combat readiness, and no small details can be ignored.
Even if I knew it was a few students taking pictures for fun, just in case.
"Hello, comrades, I'm sorry. The photo you just took involves the privacy of the army. Please delete the photos immediately."
Cheng Tiehu's tone was kind, but there was no doubt about it.
The three girls had never seen such a battle.
Lulu was the most cooperative. She took out her mobile phone and opened the photo album and handed it to Cheng Tiehu: "Sorry, uncle soldier, I, I didn't take any pictures. You can check it."
"Well, thank you for your cooperation." Cheng Tiehu glanced at it, then turned to look at the other two people.
Yang Tingting, who was so arrogant just now, hesitated for a long time before saying: "We didn't shoot any secrets, we just shot a soldier named Chen Ming."
"Well, she, she is Chen Ming's girlfriend, isn't that okay?" Yang Tingting pushed Jiang Kexin forward.
Cheng Tiehu was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect to meet Chen Ming's girlfriend here, but he couldn't be careless in the face of the rules.
"I'm sorry ma'am, all photos taken here need to be deleted, please cooperate."
"Okay, I'll delete it. Neither of them took any pictures. I took two pictures. You can check them."
Jiang Kexin handed over the phone with a depressed expression. She didn't even have time to send the photo to Chen Ming through the phone before it was about to be deleted.
Cheng Tiehu didn't care so much. He checked the three people's mobile phones to make sure nothing was missing before letting them leave.
Jiang Kexin sat back in the back seat of the car and looked up at the long queue in the distance with only one tail left.
Although she has realized that her relationship with Chen Ming has become increasingly distant.
But she was unwilling to give in, and still secretly made up her mind to find an opportunity to ask the other party what was going on.
Chen Ming didn't notice this brief encounter at all. Even if he knew about it, he probably wouldn't care much.
After all, they had already broken up. In his opinion, he and Jiang Kexin no longer had any relationship, and there was no need to explain to her.
…
After the rush march, the squad and platoon leaders calmed down in the next dozen kilometers and no longer asked them to add additional training subjects. They could just march normally.
On the way, many recruits took out the cool buns from their backpacks after they recovered, took a few bites, mixed them with some water and swallowed them.
Some recruits who have big appetites or finish their buns in advance, such as Chen Ming, can only eat compressed biscuits in small pieces to replenish their body's energy loss.
During the subsequent march, no other accidents occurred.
Their first meeting point was an abandoned factory. After arriving, looking at the appearance of the factory, it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time.
But for the recruits who have marched nearly 20 kilometers, as long as there is a place to shelter from the wind, who cares whether it is comfortable or not, and there is a place to sit and lie down, there is nothing to choose from.
"Oh shit, it hurts, it hurts."
As soon as they sat down to rest, Wang Shuaibing screamed like a slaughtering pig, startling Chen Ming who had just placed the flag next to him and was about to squat on the ground to rest.
Zhao Lifei heard the shouting and hurried over from a distance, "What's wrong? Why are you howling?"
"Squad leader, I can't take off my shoes." Wang Shuaibing shouted with a pale face. Not only him, many recruits who were sitting on the ground and wanted to rest realized that something was wrong.
Originally, many recruits with foot pain wanted to take off their shoes to soothe their feet, but no one expected, either the shoes could not be taken off, or the socks stuck to their feet.
The screams came one after another.
Zhao Lifei's face turned cold: "Shut up, your feet hurt. What are you shouting for? Take off your clothes slowly, Chen Ming."
"arrive."
"Go to the supply truck and look for backpack No. 16. The number is on the strap of the backpack. Don't get it by mistake. Find it and bring it over."
"yes."
After Zhao Lifei finished making arrangements, he knelt down to help Wang Shuaibing take off his shoes bit by bit. As he took them off, he said, "After walking such a long way, my feet have long been blistered. The blisters are worn away, and the tops of my feet are stuck to the socks." , but it just hurts, so bear with it for now.”
Seeing Chen Ming take the backpack over, Zhao Lifei continued: "What, there are more than a dozen pairs of shock-absorbing insoles in it. You can give them one pair to each person and put them on when we set off again later."
"Don't be afraid of getting hurt when you are a soldier. I have safflower oil in my bag. Apply some of it on it and rub it into blisters. Then rub them into blisters. Then you will get used to it."
"ah?"
Zhao Lifei's words are somewhat unacceptable to many recruits.
Chen Ming also sat aside and took off his shoes and looked at the soles of his feet. Fortunately, there were no blisters, so he just changed the insoles.
In the past, in sports schools, athletes used sanitary napkins as insoles for long-distance running.
But that thing is only comfortable when running at first. When the soles of your feet get sweaty, they will harden under constant squeezing. It is easy to use, but it is a bit embarrassing for old men to use that thing. It is far inferior to this shock-absorbing insole. Comfortable to use.
They set off too hastily and did not have the opportunity to go to the service agency to purchase in advance to be fully prepared.
Fortunately, Zhao Lifei prepared more in advance.
After finally taking off his shoes, Wang Shuaibing looked at the blisters on the soles of his feet with a look of dismay on his face.
Zhao Lifei wanted to laugh when he saw it, so he threw the safflower oil over: "Hurry up and put it on, don't show your teeth, you will be fine now."
"When I first joined the army as a soldier, during field training, I used ropes to tie my backpacks. As I ran, the ropes would loosen, and the quilt would fall all over the floor. I had to pick it up and put it back together again. The guns issued at that time were still Rubber fake guns, look at you, you have a backpack, a real gun, and you have all the medicine, so have some fun!"
"Then squad leader, you were in so much pain at that time, weren't you afraid of the pain?"
The recruits from class one came around and asked.
Even Chen Ming sat in front of him. Soldiers would be very concerned about the past of their former squad leader.
"It hurts? Why are you a soldier if you're afraid of pain?"
Zhao Lifei rolled up his sleeves and saw scars everywhere on his wrists and arms.
Then he opened his shirt again, and there were long scars on his chest and shoulders.
Looking at the shocked looks of a group of new recruits, Zhao Lifei smiled. It seemed that because Chen Ming was the vanguard this morning and performed well, his mood also improved a lot.
"You are also soldiers. You must know that the army values friendship without being pretentious. Soldiers do not just shout slogans or run every day."
"Soldiers have to go to the battlefield. On the battlefield, you will die or I will live. If we are all afraid of pain, then who will fight the battle?"
"If we dare not fight, who will guard the country? It is human nature to be afraid of pain, but we have no choice. The only way is to defeat and overcome."
"Understand?"
"clear!!"
