After leaving the city, although I would feel better psychologically without the pointing fingers of the people around me, the burden did not lighten even a little bit.
Moreover, as time went by, all the students felt that the baskets they were carrying were getting heavier and heavier, threatening to crush them.
This is inevitable. Simply relying on physical strength would be a cruel challenge for these mostly pampered students.
Just halfway through the journey, except for a few people such as Lin Yan and Bai Shan, the rest of the students began to cry for their fathers and mothers.
But do you think the murderer Li Mu will be soft-hearted? He strictly ordered everyone not to stop and rest only when they reach Nanshan. Anyone who violates this rule will have their results cancelled!
Under the coercion, they could only carry their heavy loads towards Nanshan.
After wailing all the way, a group of students finally arrived at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. At this moment, they could not help but burst into tears.
Ever since they were little, these rich young men have never suffered this kind of crime!
The moment he stopped and sat on the ground, his whole body felt as if he had ascended to heaven. A burst of relief flowed into his limbs, and everything was sublimated in a trance.
At this moment, sitting on this dirty earth full of gravel is actually more comfortable than the bed covered with brocade quilt at home.
But Li Mu obviously wouldn't let them be so comfortable.
"What are you doing! Stand up!" Li Mu looked at the students who were all crooked on the ground and roared angrily.
"Look at each of you, how can you not survive on such a short journey? You have the nerve to claim to be students of the academy. You can't endure hardships now. How can you serve the country in the future?"
Some students on the side said feebly: "Professor Li, it's really tiring to carry such a heavy thing all the way here just by relying on physical strength. Please let us rest for a while!"
Others also echoed: "That's right, I feel like my bones are falling apart!"
"Just let us rest for a while!"
Li Mu snorted and said, "Will the enemy let you rest on the battlefield? Ah?"
Some students whispered: "We are not going to the battlefield."
"What did you say? Louder!" Li Mu shouted.
"Report to Professor Li!" A thin boy raised his hand. The friend next to him pulled his arm, signaling him not to cause trouble, but he couldn't resist him.
"Speak!" Li Mu said.
"I think this kind of weight-bearing training is meaningless. After we graduate, most of us will join the court and become officials. Even if we join the army, we are still commanders. We rely on strategizing and winning over thousands of miles. We do not personally charge into battle, so there is no need for physical training at all. Meaning!" Xia Yuanlang, a thin boy, said.
As soon as he finished speaking, many students around him nodded and whispered, obviously agreeing with what the former said.
Li Mu looked around, taking in everyone's expressions, and sneered, "Do you all think so too?"
No one answered, but their expressions said it all.
To be honest, the sudden training in the academy caught them off guard, and they also encountered the physical training madman Li Mu.
Just this first appearance gave them a show of strength, and there's no telling what will happen next! In fact, it is not only painful and tiring, but more importantly, they think these are meaningless.
Li Mu looked directly into Xia Yuanlang's eyes, and looked at him steadily until he looked a little bit hairy, then he said: "You, you all think that physical training is meaningless, right?"
"Well, let me ask you, as far as the predecessors of the academy are concerned, those great scholars are not all incompetent scholars. On the contrary, a considerable number of them have considerable strength. Is it possible that the vitality has been blocked? Can you compare to them?"
Seeing them shaking their heads silently, Li Mu continued: "If you say that you never plan to walk in the world in the future, and you only plan to live your life relying on the shadow of your family, then just pretend that I didn't say anything and you can leave now!"
"But I want to make it clear that the academy has quotas for martial arts training every year. When the time comes, you should be lucky and don't choose yourself!"
"If some of you become generals one day and go to the battlefield, would you be at ease if you let your soldiers charge when the war comes, while you hide behind to carry out your plans and guard your forces? Are you willing?"
"But when that time comes, you can only do this because you don't have the strength to even charge with them!"
"While they were fighting bloody battles, you even had to sacrifice the lives of your soldiers to protect yourselves. Tell me, is this the commander you want to be?"
"No!" Xia Yuanlang said weakly.
"Tell me louder! Really?" Li Mu shouted loudly.
"No!" Xia Yuanlang replied loudly.
"What about you? Really?" Li Mu turned to look at the others and said.
"We are not! No! No!" The other students shouted loudly, answering in unison, and the fatigue on their bodies seemed to be swept away.
After all, they are young and energetic young people, and a few passionate words can inspire their fighting spirit.
"Does anyone still have any questions?" Li Mu looked around, but no one dared to speak.
"Very good! Now, pick up your backpacks and go into the mountain!" Upon seeing this, Li Mu immediately waved his hand and took the lead towards the mountain.
When the students heard this, their faces suddenly fell. The excitement I felt just now was temporary. If I really had to carry such heavy rocks and continue climbing the mountain, I would still be tired!
But there is nothing they can do. Who made them encounter such a devil and have to participate in this damn training!
Originally, everyone's physical strength had reached the limit before, but under Li Mu's encouragement and coercion, they actually climbed up the Nanshan Mountain.
As soon as they climbed to the top of the mountain, everyone saw a group of twenty soldiers lined up. When they saw Li Mu, they immediately saluted in order.
Li Mu introduced: "They are a group of soldiers I transferred from the Huben Army to assist in training. You will see them often in the next half month."
"Are you tired and hungry now?" Li Mu said, looking at the thirty-two "defeated" academy students.
"I'll give you a stick of incense, go eat, and take a rest. The cafeteria is on your left. Now, dismiss!"
When they heard that they could have a meal, these students all cheered happily. Who would have thought that these guys who had no worries about food and clothing and had plenty of money would be so happy one day when they heard that the meal was about to begin?
There is a simple wooden house on the left. In fact, it is a wooden house that has been beautified. It is a shack built on the spot.
There was a big pot inside the shack, which looked like soup. There was also a big basin on the side, which looked like cakes or something.
A group of students were asked to line up for meals. When they came closer and saw the full bowl of wild vegetable soup and a large bowl of stick noodles and steamed buns, their disappointment suddenly turned into dissatisfaction.
"What is this?"
"Bah! It tastes too bad. Is this stuff meant for people to eat? Even pigs won't eat it, right?"
"I protest, this is abuse!"
"..."
Various protests came, and Li Mu said calmly: "If you like to eat or not, be prepared to starve! By the way, let me tell you, this place is not close to the city. Apart from this, there is nothing else There’s nothing to eat.”
Hearing Li Mu's words, the students were a little hesitant. This murderous man must have other methods waiting to torture them in the future, and they would not be able to cope without being full. However, this stuff is too hard to swallow!
Just as everyone was hesitating, they saw Lin Yan taking the lead in eating. After all, he is not a rich man. When the harvest in the village is not good, it is not like he has never eaten these things.
Therefore, it is not difficult for him to swallow, but he still feels a little nostalgic. He has been away from home for so long. He wonders how his clan members are doing. Are Grandpa and the others okay?
Mingya is a barbarian. Although her specific identity is unclear, judging from the living environment of the barbarians, these are obviously not problems for her. Naturally, Bai Shan would not admit that he would lose to Lin Yan in this aspect, and ate the food in his hand unwilling to be outdone. Even the well-dressed and well-fed little princess followed suit and ate half of the nest and drank a few mouthfuls of soup.
Since someone took the lead, the others followed suit. However, there were still some young masters who really couldn't eat it, so they just managed to fill a few mouthfuls.
Of course, all this was seen by Li Mu. The training that followed was very intense. These meals seemed simple, but they were specially prepared to replenish the energy consumed by their training. As for those who ate less, If you don’t even want to eat, just ask for blessings!
Everyone was nibbling steamed buns, eating stick noodles, and drinking wild vegetable soup, when suddenly, there was a smell of meat.
This is the smell of barbecue!
Everyone followed the source of the scent and saw a soldier walking over with a roasted pheasant.
"Gulu!" "Gulu!"
Looking at the roasted golden and oily pheasant, everyone in the venue made the sound of swallowing saliva unconsciously.
"Hey, is that for us?" A student and his companion whispered.
"Of course, Professor Li must have rewarded us because he saw how hard we had worked so hard. You see, I almost misunderstood him before. I really shouldn't have!" said the companion on the side, staring directly at Pheasant.
The former felt disdainful and even gave up his face for the sake of a pheasant. How could he be so duplicitous!
Although he complained about his companion in his heart, he was obviously attracted by the pheasant and thought: This is what people eat!
The soldier walked straight up to Li Mu and handed him the roasted pheasant respectfully. The latter took it and took a big bite with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Hmm~ Not bad, the heat is just right!" Li Mu praised with a smile.
All the students: "..."
At this time, someone said with relief: "Don't worry, this is the first one, of course you have to learn from Professor Li first! Didn't you see there are game being roasted over there? It will definitely be our turn!"
Hearing this, the others hurriedly looked in the direction he prompted, and sure enough they saw a few soldiers roasting a wild boar.
I heard that this wild boar meat is delicious!
All the students thought so, and their saliva flowed down in dismay.
Li Mu finished the pheasant in three gulps, and then licked his fingers with unsatisfied taste.
At this time, the wild boar was almost roasted. The same soldier from before pulled a fat piece of hind leg meat from the wild boar and handed it to Li Mu again.
The latter took the boar leg and was about to continue feasting when he suddenly felt hot eyes staring at him.
He looked up and saw all the students with red eyes, drooling, looking straight at him, and suddenly said uncomfortably: "Although I am very heroic, don't keep looking at me, it will affect my appetite. !”
"Yingwu you ghost! We are looking at the wild boar leg in your hand, okay!" Everyone secretly cursed, but they did not dare to complain in person.
One student rubbed his hands and said nonchalantly: "Teacher Li, you see the meat is almost done. Isn't it time to share it with everyone?"
Li Mu looked at him doubtfully and said seriously: "What does this have to do with you?"
"Damn it, does this guy want to take it all for himself? Isn't such a big wild boar afraid of killing you?" The student secretly cursed.
However, he continued to smile and said: "You see this wild boar is so big, you can't finish it, right..."
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed!"
Just when everyone thought he was going to relent and distribute wild boar meat to them, Li Mu suddenly said: "But I can save it for a midnight snack!"
All the students: "..."
