After Liu Zhiheng explained some basic knowledge of wilderness survival to the students, he began to talk about how to find and collect clean water sources, where there may be old rivers in the desert and Gobi, where there may be underground water in the old rivers, etc.
The generals in the army not only listened carefully, but also recorded it word for word. Liu Zhiheng quickly took the opportunity to criticize the group of students.
"Look at the learning attitude of the new students. A good memory is not as good as a bad writing. Your academic attitude is not as good as the soldiers in the army."
So the two sides were rolled up like this.
When the time came, Liu Zhiheng ended today's class early.
"Go to school early today. Let's go back to eat, drink, and have a good sleep. Tomorrow, at the end of the ugly hour, you will all gather at the gate of the palace. We will go to Beilao Mountain together, so that you can feel what real field work is like. "
Liu Zhiheng also reminded repeatedly: "Let me remind you, I know that there are many young men from aristocratic families among you, with extraordinary family backgrounds, but we are going to explore in the wild tomorrow, not to play in the wild. Don't wear fancy clothes, just wear them at home for me." The most ragged clothes are preferably made of coarse cloth, and wear a pair of boots that are easy to walk on, remember?"
Everyone said in unison that they remembered.
Liu Zhiheng reminded again, "Don't bring too many unnecessary things. Everything you need in the wild has been prepared for you in the study. Don't add unnecessary weight to yourself. There will be no one if you are too tired to walk." Will wait for you."
Everyone said in unison that they remembered it.
Although he was still not at ease, Liu Zhiheng had everything he needed to explain before letting everyone go back.
As soon as Liu Zhiheng left, the entire study seemed to explode, and everyone excitedly began to discuss tomorrow's itinerary.
It's not like these young men have never gone out for outings or hunting before, but this kind of group sleepover in the deep mountains and old forests is definitely the first time in their lives.
At this moment, everyone still thinks of all this very simply, just thinking it is a hearty adventure, and they know what is waiting for them.
…
Duan Wujiu was reading letters from the capital in his study, and learned that Duke Zhao and the Sixth Prince planned to support the war with Beiyi, and they were willing to recommend Duan Wujiu to lead the expedition.
Although these two people supported him without any good intentions and expected Duan Wujiu to die in battle, they did help Duan Wujiu. All he wants is to obtain military power legitimately. Although there are many of his men in the army now, on the surface, these soldiers still have to obey the command of Zhao Guogong.
Duan Wu Jiu wrote a reply to the capital. After writing it, he found that the courtyard was very lively. When he went out to take a look, he saw that Ziyang and several soldiers from the army were busy moving things.
"What are you doing?"
"Your Majesty!" Ziyang ran over and said with a smile: "Master Liu will take the students up the mountain tomorrow, and I am preparing things according to Master Liu's requirements."
"Let me see."
Ziyang handed the list of items listed by Liu Zhiheng to Duan Wujiu. Duan Wujiu glanced at it and was a little confused: "Why do you need so many things?"
"We're staying for two days and one night."
"Two days and one night?" Duan Wujiu widened his eyes slightly, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious, "She is a woman, and she wants to take more than thirty men to the mountains to spend two days and one night?"
"no……"
Duan Wujiu's expression brightened slightly.
"I also brought Chun Cao with me. There are two girls..." Ziyang smiled awkwardly and said: "And it's not more than thirty men, but more than forty, in addition to the thirty students in the academy. , and ten people from our army..."
Duan Wu Jiu looked at Zi Yang with a gloomy expression and said, "Stay away from your brother. Now you are talking more and more like him."
Ziyang knew what Duan Wujiu was worried about, so he quickly said: "Don't worry, Master, I'm going too. I will definitely protect Master Liu, so don't worry."
Duan Wu Jiu glanced at Zi Yang and snorted coldly: "You and I don't worry either."
Ziyang looked aggrieved: "Master, my subordinates are loyal to you."
"Okay," Duan Wujiu waved his hand and said, "Find me a human skin mask."
"Yes..." Ziyang thought for a while and asked, "What kind of look do you want?"
Duan Wu Jiu thought for a while and said with a gloomy face: "It's good-looking, but it can't be too good-looking..."
"yes!"
…
On the second day, the yard was already full of people. Ziyang took a count and found that everyone was here, so he sent someone to call Liu Zhiheng.
When Liu Zhiheng came out and saw the students in the courtyard, his heart dropped.
I told everyone to wear their worst clothes, but everyone still dressed as if they were going for a spring outing. It was obvious from a glance that everyone had been dressed up carefully.
Liu Zhiheng's face turned dark instantly.
"Didn't I ask you to wear coarse clothes? You are all dressed in silk and satin. Didn't you take my words seriously?"
Liu Zhiheng took a look and saw that only Ziyang and the eleven army generals listened to her words and wore coarse cotton clothes. Or should we still be soldiers? Knowing that military orders are like mountains, obedience is good. Not like these young men.
Hey, Liu Zhiheng suddenly realized that the army had sent ten people here, why was there one more?
Liu Zhiheng looked over, and saw that the man was pretty good-looking, with an average-to-above-average appearance, but his eyes were really good-looking, which made his appearance from a seven-point score to a nine-point score. She just didn't know why, but these eyes made her feel extremely good-looking. familiar.
Just as Liu Zhiheng was thinking, Dai Chunshan, who was standing at the front, interrupted her thoughts. Dai Chunshan scratched his head awkwardly and said: "Master, this is already my most worn-out clothes...how else can I break them?" ah?"
Liu Zhiheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Yes, what kind of rags could these young men have?
"If you don't have coarse clothes, wouldn't you ask your servant to borrow them?"
"My boys don't wear coarse cloth either."
Liu Zhiheng wished he could pinch his own people so he could catch his breath. This is how the Zhumen stinks of wine and meat! The wealthy family is full of wine and meat!
"Okay, you can wear whatever you like."
Liu Zhiheng thought in his heart: There will be times when you will regret it.
People can't teach others, but they can learn things once. After two days, she believed that these brats would not forget to wear coarse clothes next time.
"Ziyang, pass the thing down."
Ziyang and Chuncao distributed the backpacks together.
"Everyone counts the things in the backpacks. Each person has two fire bags, two water bags, a bag of dry food, a small bag of salt, a bag of sugar, a box of medicine, a knife, a hammer, and a small axe. An iron rice bowl and a set of tableware.”
Everyone checked it out and found that there was nothing missing.
"Besides, there are eight tents and a big pot. Who can take the initiative to carry it?"
The generals in the rear row took the initiative to carry tents and pots on their backs.
"Okay, that's it, let's go!"
Everyone got on the carriage prepared by the palace. It was still dark outside, and everyone embarked on the road to Beilao Mountain with excitement and longing.
The palace's carriage was extremely soft, and these students still felt that going out into the wild was not much different from going to the mountains to worship Buddha.
By the time everyone arrived at the foot of Beilao Mountain, it was already slightly bright. A few boys were left watching the carriage, and Liu Zhiheng led the large team into the mountain.
Everyone walked up the mountain road. At first, the atmosphere was very harmonious. Everyone was chatting happily while walking. Although they usually don’t carry backpacks when climbing mountains, for this group of strong and strong young men, it was okay to carry a little weight. A piece of cake.
However, the more we walked, the more we felt something was wrong. Why did the master not follow the mountain road? He led them further and further off the road. It became more and more difficult for everyone to walk. They had to use their hands and feet when they reached the back.
Finally, when the sun rose completely, Liu Zhiheng led everyone to an open space in front of the dense forest and stopped. The students immediately sat down panting, finally able to rest.
Seeing Liu Zhiheng stop, everyone thought they had arrived at their destination.
"Okay," Liu Zhiheng said with a wave of his arms: "Our field exploration is about to begin."
The students all looked at Liu Zhiheng. They just started now, so what were they doing before?
"Master, weren't we exploring in the wild just now?"
Liu Zhiheng sneered: "Are you kidding? You don't think that climbing a hillside is exploration, do you?"
"Then where else can we climb? There's no way!"
There are dense forests all around.
"Now I will teach you the first lesson of field exploration. Whenever you see a road traveled by people, it must not be the path we geologists want to take. Whenever you see a road walked by animals, it must not be our path. The path for geological people to follow.”
"Then what path will we geologists take?"
"Take the road that even the beasts don't take." Liu Zhiheng waved his arms, "Stop whining, it's not time for you to rest, come with me!"
