Chapter 26: Rejoicing in Suffering
Time flies quickly, hard training and hard days can best create a person. During the day after day training, all the recruits have undergone tremendous changes. The firm face and calm eyes have made us accustomed to facing any hardships.
From the first recruits who started every day to the emergency gathering of nearly two or three times a day, we have maintained a high level of vigilance even in our sleep. At least if "King Qiao Yan" wants to go to our bed silently and move our clothes or belts at will, it is impossible. As long as we make a little noise around us, we will open our eyes and emit a cold light of wild beasts flying.
The training day and night is terrifying, and the results brought are also impressive. From being dismissed at the end of the brigade, from every climbing the mountain, I felt my lungs sucking in. Now Peng Zheng and I can slowly keep up with the team. Until now, when we climb the mountain, we can already run to the forefront of the army. The explosive power grew under the strange method taught by the King of Qiao Yan, and our military qualities have improved rapidly.
Super physical training is exchanged for huge physical energy consumption. From just entering the recruit company, to more than two months now, the most direct reflection is that our appetite is increasing terrifyingly.
I remember that at the beginning, because I was from the southerners, I had to eat pasta most of the time after I came to the army, which made us extremely uncomfortable. Three of them were enough to eat three of them before. Even because of the wrong taste, Peng Zheng and I sometimes only had one or two meals per meal, and it would be enough to get through after a day of slaughtering.
But what about now? Two steamed buns? Three steamed buns? Damn, do you want to starve us to death?
The ten-minute meal time was not short, and at some point it was far from enough. The table where eight people sat and the plates containing four dishes and one soup were placed. In the words of the squad leader of the drinking squad, it was now clean and didn't even wash it. There was a little bit of vegetable stain on it and we swept it clean with steamed buns.
I am not fat. After two months of training in the army, my body is even convex and stylistically shaped. Even if I can't go to bodybuilding competitions, it's definitely a standard. However, such a body can now eat twelve two taels of steamed buns in one meal. Even if I have enough time, I'm afraid it's not a problem. This situation is beyond the scope of common sense, but the old squad leader doesn't seem to feel strange. At least as our abnormal appetite increases, we have never been able to eat. They seem to have already prepared our food.
"Oh my God? Is braised pork? And eggs? What is this? Is it chicken? God finally opened his eyes!"
It was pitiful to see the gods. I was used to eating a table of meat dishes with only braised pork. Even though I never ate fat on weekdays, I now stuffed my fat meat with hair into my stomach, fearing that I would slow down. The dishes that were not enough for us to consume would become trophy in other people's stomachs. But suddenly, when I saw such a rich meal, Peng Zheng next to me was moved to tears.
I am so happy that I really want to cry. We actually get a day off and can have extra meals and eat a bite of beautiful eggs. When I am in the local area, I am my favorite every meal. Now I am doing so much, day by day. Is it a holiday today? While eating meat, we can't help but feel a little panic in our hearts.
"Eat it, eat it in big mouthfuls. After eating it today, you will have to endure it!"
Another plate of dishes came, and it turned out to be fried sausages? Five dishes and one soup, so touching! Our eyes were filled with excitement, but why was the old squad leader with a smirk full of pity in his eyes? It was really scary!
But what's the use of being afraid? If you can escape suffering, then there are too many happy things in this world, right? Even if you want to go to the execution ground, you have to be a full-fledged devil? Peng Zheng and I looked at each other and couldn't care about so many things. Let's first give us some condolences to our stomachs. We opened our mouths and sweep the food on the table wildly.
After breakfast, the sky actually opened its warm smile in coordination. The warm winter sun was really comfortable. In this sunshine, we were like plants that had been drought and rain for a long time, and excitedly spread our arms. It seemed that every cell in our body was moaning and stretching, happily lit and acting with the sun. It was such a enjoyable thing to bask in the sun.
Taking advantage of the rare free time, the recruits felt countless ants crawling on their bodies, and immediately rushed to the bathhouse that was rare to open to the recruits. The intoxicating hot water rushed to them, and they could clearly see the dark sewage slid down their bodies. The human body was so strong. I was depressed, why wasn't my body moldy yet?
I looked up and down at the top and bottom, and then I saw that my body had completely changed. No matter how far I looked down from any part of my body, I could see to the toes flat, and I couldn't see any fat on my body. The concave and convex muscles told me what hardships I had experienced in the past two months.
We took off the quilt cover on the military quilt, took off the heavy training uniform, the unique black and white colors on it, and the indifferent smell of "scent" tells us that we can throw them into the trash can, but in fact they are still very new, but their fate is too miserable and falls on our group of new recruits. Even if they have a good texture, once they fall into our hands, they will not be able to escape the destruction of being destroyed.
I remember that there is a supernatural legend in my pants. It was on a cold night. Because I was so tired, I didn’t place it properly. I accidentally let it ‘jump’ down the upper bunk. Then I heard my brother on the lower bunk scream with a sad scream. You should know that in the middle of the night, a "half-ling" stood by your bed. Think about it, it’s an extremely crazy thing.
However, all of this is true. Because too much sweat soaked the poor training pants, and then freeze the cold air. In addition, the salt of the sweat in the past few days solidified, it actually stood in front of my comrade's bed very casually. Such a strange thing can be written into a supernatural novel, and it has also caused the legend of my pants to be passed down from generation to generation to today.
"Now I know that taking a shower, washing clothes, and wearing a clean suit is also an extremely happy thing!"
The laundry table at the door of the dormitory was already crowded. Peng Zheng and I finally squeezed in with a whole basin of clothes, and we were so moved that we could only burst into tears.
"Enjoy this rare sunshine, don't tell me not to tell you, tomorrow... maybe it's tonight, the recruits' physical fitness enhancement week is coming, and the real suffering is about to begin!"
Xie Jian looked at us with a smile from the opposite side. After the guy's face was swept, it was still fair and clean. It seemed that he was very resistant to beats. Anyway, I knew that my face was now bronze. Gone are the days when I pity my little face! I had to despise him again.
"What if he doesn't matter? Let's talk about it today. At least I'll be moved when I wash my face..."
I glanced at him, with a disdain on my face, and a word made the recruits and comrades present laugh into a group.
