At six o'clock the next morning, the sky was not completely bright. It was still in the pre-dawn night, and I couldn't see my fingers. Suddenly a rapid whistle woke all the recruits from their sleep. Upon hearing the whistle, all the recruits immediately got up and dressed.
After getting up, Li Xiang was about to go to the toilet when the deputy squad leader grabbed Li Xiang's arm.
"Li Xiang, why are you going?" asked the deputy squad leader.
"Go to the bathroom." Li Xiang replied in confusion.
"Who asked you to go to the toilet? Get dressed quickly and gather outside the door. The squad leader is waiting for you outside the door."
When the deputy squad leader said that the squad leader had already been waiting outside the door, the recruits in the first squad did not dare to neglect and hurriedly rushed out to gather outside. After all, everyone has seen the severity of the squad leader's punishment.
Li Xiang and the recruits hurriedly put on their clothes and then ran to the door to gather. When the first squad leader saw that all the recruits in his squad had come out, he raised his hand and looked at his watch.
"The time is five minutes and forty-eight seconds. The gathering is too slow."
"Everyone, please go back to your bed, take off your clothes, lie down under the quilt, and then repeat the process of getting up and gathering. As soon as the whistle is blown, everyone will go out and gather as fast as possible, do you hear me?" The squad leader continued.
As soon as the squad leader said this, all the recruits were stunned.
"Didn't you hear what I just said?" the squad leader repeated in a stern tone.
"heard it."
Among all the recruits, only Li Xiang answered the squad leader's questions loudly. However, Li Xiang's answer satisfied the squad leader. The squad leader needs recruits who can not only obey orders but also take the lead in everything.
"Very good. Li Xiang's answer was very loud. I would like to express my solemn praise here." Then, the squad leader's expression changed again, "Is Li Xiang the only one who heard it?"
"heard it."
The other recruits saw that Li Xiang was praised and responded quickly.
"The voice is too quiet. I want you to answer my questions louder."
"heard it……."
The recruits were forced to answer loudly again.
"Disband."
After the squad leader gave the order to disperse, Li Xiang was the first to rush into the dormitory, because he knew that the orders given by the squad leader had to be implemented no matter what. Instead of waiting to be scolded by the squad leader, it was better to take the initiative to execute the order. . The recruits in class one saw Li Xiang taking the lead and rushed into the dormitory, and quickly followed them.
Back in the dormitory, a few recruits planned to cheat and did not take off their clothes, but lay on the bed with their clothes on. Unexpectedly, the squad leader had already seen through the recruits' tricks and checked everyone from the first bunk to see if they had taken off their clothes and went to bed.
"Why didn't you take off your clothes?"
After checking out a recruit lying on the bed with his clothes on, the squad leader lifted the quilt covering the recruit and asked loudly.
The recruit immediately sat up, quickly took off his clothes, continued to lie on the bed, and covered himself with a quilt. Several other recruits who were also sleeping in their clothes saw this and knew that they would not be able to escape the squad leader's eyes. They quickly got up and took off their clothes, then lay down on the bed and covered themselves with quilts.
"Everyone, listen to me. I will let you go for now. If you cheat next time, I will never forgive you."
The squad leader then checked a few more recruits and confirmed that all the recruits had taken off their clothes. He immediately blew the whistle and shouted: "Everyone gather, I'll catch the last one outside the door."
At this time, the recruits in the first class all knew the weight of the squad leader's words. The last person to go out would definitely not be able to eat and carry around. The recruits all got dressed and got up at a very fast speed. The recruits on the upper bunk jumped out of bed, dressed and ran out the door.
Because Li Xiang and Gao Jie slept in the back of the dormitory, and on the upper bunk, if nothing else happened, they would have been the last to run out. At this time, when he was about to reach the door, Gao Jie saw that he was about to be the last one, and suddenly made a sinister move and used a trip leg to trip Li Xiang down.
"oops!"
Li Xiang was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground. However, Gao Jie ran over and stood in the line without even looking at it. Li Xiang didn't care about Gao Jie, he quickly got up from the ground and stood at the back of the team.
All this was seen by the squad leader. The first squad leader walked to Li Xiang. The recruits in the first squad thought that the first squad leader would punish Li Xiang. But this time, the first squad leader did not scold Li Xiang, but took the initiative to help Li Xiang dust himself off, and then returned to Command position.
"The time it took for everyone to gather just now was one minute and fifty-two seconds. Overall, I'm quite satisfied. But tomorrow morning, everyone must give me one and a half minutes to gather. Do you hear me?"
"heard it."
Learning from the previous lesson, the recruits answered loudly in unison this time.
"That's good, let's start running five kilometers now."
The recruits entered the track one after another and began to run five kilometers. At the beginning, the recruits were still running with some enthusiasm, but as their physical fitness was exhausted, the running speed of the recruits gradually slowed down, and they were like snails, strolling on the track.
The squad leader immediately became furious when he saw how lazy the recruits in his squad were. "Everyone, listen to me, you all run for me, you must run hard for me, run as hard as you can. I will follow behind you. Those running at the back should pay attention to the whip in my hand. Not a vegetarian."
While he was talking, the first squad leader had already obtained a whip from somewhere and held it in his hand. The recruits in the first squad looked back one after another and quickly quickened their pace and ran forward. They did not want to be whipped.
At this time, Li Xiang suddenly exerted his strength and rushed to the front of the team like a wild horse.
Seeing this, the first squad leader had an idea and shouted loudly: "Recruits in the first squad, listen to me. If anyone can surpass Li Xiang, he doesn't need to do push-ups before going to bed tonight."
After hearing such tempting conditions, the recruits in the first class also began to increase their power and chase Li Xiang. When Li Xiang saw someone passing him, he immediately sprinted forward at full speed.
After all, Li Xiang is a child who came out of the mountains and has an innate advantage in running, so running is Li Xiang's strong point. Soon, Li Xiang was able to throw away the recruits who were chasing him.
The other recruits originally had the idea of catching up with Li Xiang, but seeing how easily Li Xiang ran, they all gave up the idea of catching up with Li Xiang.
"What's going on? Do you want to taste the whip in my hand?" The squad leader spoke again, threatening the recruits in his squad.
But this time, the words of the squad leader had no effect at all. Even if some recruits were drawn, they would not be able to catch up with Li Xiang.
"Gao Jie, what's the matter with you? During the fight, didn't I see that you were very capable in front of Li Xiang? You chased after him." The squad leader wanted to use this to anger Gao Jie. However, no matter how hard Gao Jie tried, even if he tried his best, he could not catch up with Li Xiang. However, the whip was struck several times.
"Well, Li Xiang, do you need to run so hard? I was beaten several times by the squad leader because of this. I will avenge this sooner or later." Gao Jie secretly swore in his heart.
After the run, Li Xiang continued to move his body as if nothing was wrong, but the other recruits in the group were all lying on the ground unable to get up.
"Look at your ugly looks, and then look at Li Xiang. He is also a recruit, but there is such a big gap between you and Li Xiang." A squad leader scolded the recruits except Li Xiang.
"Li Xiang, come here."
The squad leader called Li Xiang to his side and asked Li Xiang to face everyone.
"From now on, when it comes to physical fitness in our class, you must all learn from Comrade Li Xiang. Li Xiang is your role model."
Hearing this sentence, Li Xiang was immediately shocked. The squad leader was praising himself. His ears must have heard it correctly. At the same time, Gao Jie, who was lying on the ground, also heard this and became jealous. Both of them were originally defined as thorny soldiers, but now they were praised by the squad leader, but they were still the thorny soldiers in the eyes of the squad leader. This was simply unfair.
"Okay, everyone, let's get up and gather in the cafeteria to eat."
When the squad leader said it was time to eat, the recruits immediately became energetic and got up from the ground. Running in the morning has consumed a lot of energy, and now is the time when energy is urgently needed.
