While company commander Xie Dong and veteran Hou Jun were discussing how to lead troops on the lawn of the barracks, Li Zheng and his fellow recruits were running in embarrassment on the mountain road.
"I don't know... I don't... know... who invented... rushing to the top of the mountain..."
Fatty Wei's face had turned blue, and his lips had lost all color. He was cursing his mother while running, and his words could not be continued.
In fact, it cannot be counted as running.
The slope of the mountain is steep, and the path is a hard dirt road. When running on it, the sand will slip on your feet. You have to use your hands and feet together to avoid falling. It is almost like a dog crawling on the ground.
Yang Hui was also out of breath at the side. He had no energy left to scold his mother, and there were only two words in his mouth - Fuck you!
Anyone would rather run five kilometers, but no one would want to rush to the top of a mountain.
Sweat dripped down Li Zheng's forehead, and his eyes were so painful that he had to take off his camouflage hat to wipe them.
Looking at the watch on his hand, he was asked to return to the camp within ten minutes. It had already been six minutes since he was only halfway up the climb.
This means that you will be punished if you go back.
In fact, getting punished is very common.
Your training results cannot meet the requirements of the squad leader and the excellent requirements in the syllabus - then the squad leader has a hundred ways to increase your training volume so that you can rise to the expectations set by him in the shortest possible time. .
Li Zheng felt like there was a fire burning in his calves and knees, and the tendons and muscles in his legs seemed to have become so hard that he could not lift them.
Wu Yi previously talked about the skills of climbing the mountain.
No, that's not a skill.
In his words, that's called the secret.
When he said that, everyone was happy and listened attentively, waiting for the squad leader to teach him the secret.
As a result, Wu Yi cleared his throat and said, the trick to charging up the mountain is that you have to forget that your legs belong to you, and your brain is only responsible for ordering them to run, with just one word - run!
Don’t care about anything else, just run!
After listening to Wu Yi's words, all the new recruits were dumbfounded. In their hearts, hundreds of millions of grass and mud horses were galloping back and forth, making the one in the wind feel messy.
That's it?
Is this the trick?
The secret?
The trick?
Fuck!
Isn't this just as mysterious as in martial arts novels where there is no sword in the hand but a sword in the heart?
A living person has nerves criss-crossing his body. Do you think that if he is not himself, then he is not his own?
Do you think everyone is like Guan Yunchang, pretending that the arm is not their own, and letting people cut it open without anesthesia and just scrape the bone to cure the poison?
In fact, as a prestigious college student with modern education, Li Zheng saw Wu Yiyi's serious expression and thought of the various miracles that have happened to human beings. He really wanted to practice this theory in the past.
Maybe it will be useful, I don’t know for sure!
As a result, the next time he rushed to the top of the mountain, he really kept saying "This leg is not mine, this leg is not mine" in his mind, and planned to perform some self-hypnosis.
I was hypnotized for a long time, and I indulged in hypnosis, but ended up lagging behind and timed out. When I went back, I was punished with a leapfrog of 400 meters.
At that time, Li Zheng wanted to die. He thought that he did not have the immortal consciousness of Squad Leader Wu Yi, and could not achieve the state of "legs are not mine". He gritted his teeth and rushed to the top of the mountain to prevent himself from becoming the last few. Get punished.
"No more running..."
Just as Li Zheng was plowing the ground, panting and running as hard as he could, the desperate cry of the pretty boy Jiang Xuan came from behind.
Most of the recruits looked back, then kept running.
It's not unheard of for you to have a breakdown during the recruit period. Once the breakdown is over, you'll be fine. Once the breakdown is over, the squad leader will teach you a lesson and you'll be fine again.
Li Zheng looked back and saw the pretty boy Jiang Xuan sitting on the ground, completely losing his will to continue charging.
He went back and reached out to grab Jiang Xuan, trying to pull him up from the ground and continue running.
"Don't sit down, just sit down and it's over."
The training of mountain climbing is the same as that of a five-kilometer cross-country. No matter how uncomfortable or hard it is in the middle, you must not stop. The hardest part of the five-kilometer occurs between three and four kilometers. At that time, there will be countless things to do for yourself. The thought of stopping emerges, and the body is at its most exhausted point. Once the spirit and will are relaxed and collapsed at this time, it will be difficult to pick up the speed after the speed drops, and will only fall at the end of the team.
The same goes for climbing to the top of a mountain. The most uncomfortable moment is when you reach the height of 20 to 30 meters in front of the target.
At that time, my legs felt like they were going to cramp immediately, my brain would have black eyes due to too fast oxygen consumption, insufficient blood supply, etc., and my lungs would be like a broken bellows because of the rapid breathing, and I felt like I couldn't pump no matter how hard I tried. When a little oxygen is supplied to the body, the heart is like an engine with oil on the floor, and the cylinder will explode in the next second...
There are two types of people at this time, either giving up or gritting their teeth and getting through it.
Obviously, Jiang Xuan is the former.
Li Zheng pulled but didn't move.
Jiang Xuan watched his comrades running past him one by one, trying to sprint to the top of the mountain. The more he watched, the more he collapsed.
Suddenly, he opened his mouth and cried out.
"Why should I come to be a soldier... Why should I come to be a soldier... Wuwuwu..."
This cry actually made many people stop in their tracks.
Looking at Jiang Xuan, everyone seemed to see themselves.
A man's collapse often happens in an instant.
It has been a month since the training of new recruits started. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. In fact, veterans say that the most difficult period in the first year is the recruitment period. This is true to a certain extent. It does not mean that the training for new recruits is large and cruel. In fact, the amount of training for new recruits is so small. Compared with the veterans and the training team, it is just drizzle, nothing at all.
But suddenly from one familiar environment to another unfamiliar environment, from a life style that I have been accustomed to for nearly twenty years to another one with prohibitions and strenuous training every day, there is no such thing as a transition. The sense of adaptation is the most important thing.
At home, I eat well, dress well and drink well. I go online when I want, go out for a walk when I want, and I don’t forget to take pictures and send them to my circle of friends every time I go to the gym to show off how much I pay attention to healthy living. Here, everything suddenly becomes restricted and managed. Every day, whether you want to or not, you have to get up at five or six in the morning to start military training until sunset. Before turning off the lights at ten o'clock in the evening, you have to train in various subjects. A young man of eighteen or twenty will inevitably become like Jiang Xuan. "Why did I come to be a soldier?" the soul asked.
"Jiang Xuan, get up!"
Li Zheng looked at his watch. It was almost seven minutes.
"It's too late to get up now and run back, so get up quickly!"
He pulled Jiang Xuan again.
Jiang Xuan still sat on the ground and cried, as if all the pain he had suffered was squeezed into his eyes, soaked into tears and then cried out.
"I won't run, I won't run!"
Fatty Wei and Yang Hui had already run ahead, but found that Li Zheng was missing. Hearing the cry, they turned around and greeted them: "Run... run... or go back... and it's all over..."
Li Zheng hesitated.
He had two choices, either run away and ignore Jiang Xuan.
Either stay and run with him.
The former can protect themselves, while the latter may be punished together.
