Chapter 64 Devil-style Training
With the departure of Sun Yong, the number of people dropped from 27 to 26.
After He Shu and the others finished practicing housekeeping , they all lay down on the bed comfortably.
There were 14 other people outside running with their tongues sticking out and their butts naked.
"Brother Shu, it's really dangerous tonight. If we had said we were going back to school, we would be the ones running outside now. Oh, how frivolous..."
After hearing this, a boy on the bed next to He Shu asked, "Do you think Sun Yong will be punished when he returns to school?"
"I don't think so, right? After all, it's just military training."
"Who knows? Maybe he will be punished."
After hearing this, everyone was silent. After a while, someone asked, "Why did you choose our department to be brought to the military camp?"
No one could figure out this problem, not even He Shu. He felt that this situation was really rare.
The people running outside didn’t understand why they were fined four kilometers.
By the time they finished running, it was time to turn off the lights and go to bed.
They were all sweating profusely and fell directly onto their beds when they returned to the barracks. Some of them moaned softly about the pain in their legs and feet.
On the first night in the military camp, no one slept well, whether they were punished or not.
………
At 5 o'clock in the morning, the wake-up call sounded.
There was another burst of wailing in the barracks, and the students who were punished to run last night were crying out in pain from their legs.
Instructors Qi and Yu came in at the exact moment and began urging everyone to get dressed and fold their quilts within five minutes, and then began to call the roll.
"From now on, when you hear the wake-up call, gather at the playground within five minutes. Run five laps, then wash up and eat."
I don’t know if running five laps was an existing rule or just an extra requirement for them.
At least everyone has thought it through now. Since we have chosen to stay, we have to endure it no matter how hard or tiring it is.
We are all in our teens and twenties, not children anymore, and we must stick to our choices.
Just like their college entrance examination, it is just a challenge in life again and again. If they succeed, they will make it. If they fail, they have to start all over again.
Young people have nothing but the courage to try!
It wasn't just He Shu who wanted to take this opportunity to train himself, the others who stayed behind also had this attitude.
Fortunately, this time there was enough breakfast for everyone to eat their fill. The group of students, who had been hungry all night, wolfed down the food as if they had never eaten such a delicious meal before.
After breakfast, Instructor Yu led them to continue training. For the whole morning, they were still marching in step, marching in unison, and practicing formations.
They were also given an hour's lunch break at noon, which made the students feel that this was just the beginning.
I was so ruthless yesterday, probably because I wanted to teach them a lesson.
So during lunch break, everyone was lying there chatting in a good mood.
In the afternoon, we continued to queue, run, and do some physical training.
During this training session, the differences in physical fitness among the 26 people became apparent, and some of them couldn't even get on the equipment.
He Shuyuan thought that since he had worked in a car wash for two years and had also practiced fitness with Brother Xiao Dong, his arm strength must be pretty good.
As a result, after finishing the other exercises, he didn't have the strength to do push-ups and couldn't even do thirty.
Ji Wanying, the only girl in the team, did two more than him.
Suddenly, He Shu became the object of everyone's ridicule.
Instructor Qi didn't say anything and asked He Shu to run laps after the class. He could eat when he finished.
It was also stipulated that in any future training session, those who fall behind or are the last in line will be required to run five laps on their own initiative.
While everyone else went to rest, wash up and prepare for dinner, He Shu was running around the playground.
The afternoon training drained all of He Shu's physical strength, as he was not good at sports to begin with.
In junior high school, I ate boiled noodles almost every day and was malnourished. It was not until I entered high school that my food improved.
Later, he moved to his godfather's house, and his godfather gave him supplements every week, so that he could gain some weight, but he was still thinner than other classmates.
During those six years, He Shu had almost nothing to do with sports. He couldn't even play basketball.
He only exercised in physical education classes and never even participated in sports meets. He just did some work like moving tables, chairs and benches.
Five laps were only two thousand meters, but for He Shu, who was already out of strength, these five laps seemed to have no end.
His legs and feet were weak, his breathing was unsteady, and there were flashes of white light in front of his eyes.
Everyone else went into the cafeteria to eat, and he was the only one left on the playground. Instructor Qi stood in the middle and watched him run.
Seeing that He Shu was unable to move his legs and tripped himself, Instructor Qi loudly scolded him, saying that he was a waste and was not as good as a little girl.
To He Shu, this kind of provocative yelling and cursing was useless, and he felt no ripples in his heart.
He lay on the ground for a long time before he got up, brushed off the dirt and continued running.
After running five laps with great difficulty, I dragged my legs to the cafeteria, but the lights were off and there was no food left...
He Shu returned to the barracks hungry and tired, and fell headfirst onto his bed.
Seeing that the instructor didn't come in, Feng Haoxiang quietly ran to He Shu and stuffed an egg into his hand: "Brother Shu, I saved this for you."
He Shu said thank you, peeled the egg open, took a bite, and then fell asleep with his eyelids drooping as he kept it in his mouth.
It felt like I had just closed my eyes when suddenly an emergency assembly call sounded and the lights in the barracks lit up instantly.
He Shu was woken up by Feng Haoxiang. He opened his eyes and sat up, holding half an egg in his hand...
His legs felt as if they were filled with lead, and the muscle soreness caused by excessive exercise made He Shu grin.
"Everyone gather outside!" Instructor Yu rushed in and urged everyone one by one as if he was herding sheep.
There was a commotion in the barracks; no one expected a gathering in the middle of the night.
Someone stood up and bumped his head against the bed frame. After a moment of confusion, he finally put on his clothes.
"What? Do you need to bring some snacks for the gathering?"
Instructor Qi walked in energetically, holding a small stick, and pointed at the egg in He Shu's hand that had a bite taken out of it, and everyone burst into laughter again.
He Shu felt embarrassed. He could not eat the egg, nor could he throw it away.
Fortunately, after Instructor Qi made fun of him, he didn't stare at him anymore. He put his hands behind his back and went back to scolding others. He Shu took the opportunity to stuff the egg into his mouth.
Everyone had already experienced the instructor's ability to scold people during the day, and in his eyes, everyone in the room was a waste throughout the afternoon.
But it's the middle of the night, and it's not even dawn yet. Everyone looks at the two instructors with something strange in their eyes. They think they are not treating people as human beings. Are they trying to train them to death?
Everyone felt resentful, but no one dared to speak out. They all obediently put on their clothes and gathered outside.
"Everyone carry one and stand in line." Instructor Qi said, pointing to the pile of backpacks on the ground.
He Shu followed everyone and walked over. He picked up a large backpack, but he couldn't lift it.
He exerted some strength and weighed it. The backpack weighed at least 20 kilograms.
Instructor Yu also recited one, then shouted slogans and asked them to line up and follow him.
It was late at night, no one knew where to go and no one dared to ask.
We walked all the way through the barracks and training base, out of the camp and along the dirt road.
The sky was dark, but there were many stars. There were no dense buildings on either side of the camp, so it seemed very empty.
There were no cars on the dirt road, and the world seemed to be quiet, with only the sound of footsteps.
