Brocade tears

Meng Kuang is no stranger to running. In fact, she couldn't walk well when she was young, and she couldn't walk well even if she could run.Her active personality makes her restless for a moment.Later, when she practiced martial arts, daily weight-bearing running became a compulsory item for her to exercise basic physical fitness.Until now, her hands and feet were still bound with iron sheets wrapped in cloth strips, and her running speed was no different from those of the male soldiers.

Of course, the vanguard who led the team in front never let go of his pace and ran fast. It is estimated that he was desperate for the number of 120 laps. He wisely chose the way of running to conserve his energy.It's just that although most healthy men run at this speed in the first few laps, there is no big problem, but from about the tenth lap onwards, the gap in individual physical fitness can gradually be seen.The school field is about 440 steps long and [-] steps wide. One lap is [-] steps, and ten laps is equivalent to running eight or nine miles. It has indeed tested the physical strength of adult men.

Gradually, some people began to fall behind and were surpassed by those behind, and a few physically fit people also began to lead.Meng Kuang was able to do anything with ease, and she was still wearing a black scarf that blocked her breathing and a weight, but she still walked steadily and breathed steadily.She could have taken the lead, but she didn't want to stand out, so she kept her speed under control and kept running in the middle of the team.Her goal during boot camp was to get through unscathed, without anyone noticing, thereby minimizing the chances of her identity being exposed.

By the time of lap No.20, most people were panting in pain, their steps were getting heavier and heavier, and their overall speed was slowing down.At this time, Meng Kuang was already running hot and began to sweat, but his breath was still steady, and his stride frequency did not drop at all.

The coach stood on the sidelines, and every time he passed by his side, he would loudly report the number of laps.Meng Kuang knew that he was carefully observing everyone's physical condition. This time the penalty run was not just a slap in the face, but more like a test for the first time entering the camp.The coach can judge the strong and weak among the recruits based on this penalty run, and grasp the overall situation.

At the [-]th lap, it has entered a state of difficulty, and many people can no longer run.It happened to be near noon, and many people hadn't eaten lunch at all, and their stomachs were growling with hunger, and they didn't have the energy to run at all.However, Meng Kuang presciently ate some dry food and drank water on the way here. He was a little hungry at this time, but it was still enough to support her consumption.

At the fifty laps, many people were already walking on the edge of the school field, unable to run at all, and even collapsed on the ground, unable to move from exhaustion.Meng Kuang was still running, but she was running very slowly, sweating profusely all over her body.She could feel that the inner armor was wet with sweat, and the hot and humid air could not be released from her body. This was really not a comfortable experience.At this time, she is still in the middle of the team, but this middle refers to the ten-member team that is still running.At this time, the leading group has already caught most people in many circles.

When entering the 59th lap, the number of people who were still insisting was reduced to seven. Meng Kuang deliberately fell to the seventh place, but she was still running.She doesn't stop because she knows that those who stop will undergo double training later.

At the end of the [-]th lap, Meng Kuang finished the lap running in seventh place and returned to the school field to gather.In fact, she has never tried to run for such a long time in one breath, and she estimates that the distance may be equivalent to running fifty miles.Her waist was completely numb, and her shoulders, back, and arms were so sore. After going through the most difficult point with willpower, she felt that her legs didn't belong to her, and she was moving forward alternately. run.She took advantage of the time gap when most people were still running laps on the field, and began to stretch her body. She knew that stretching the muscles would be more comfortable after excessive exercise.Her strong body can easily perform all kinds of difficult stretching movements, and a tall, strong, dark-skinned, and handsome soldier beside her saw her stretching her body, so she also stretched along with her.Meng Kuang noticed him, and he ran ahead of her, fifth.The man saw Meng Kuang glance at him, so he approached him familiarly, and asked:

"Brother, you are practicing martial arts, you are very strong."

Meng Kuang glanced at him indifferently, nodded, and said nothing.

Seeing that her attitude was a little cold, the soldier felt embarrassed for a moment.But then he asked again:

"Why are you covering your face all the time, it's so hot."

Meng Kuang nodded his jaw, made a gesture to indicate that the bones were out of joint, then pointed to his mouth, and shook his hand.The soldier didn't quite understand at first, Meng Kuang assisted in writing a few words on the sand under his feet, and the soldier finally understood what she meant.

"Ah, this is such a pity. But you are very strong, stronger than most people. My name is Wang Yong'an, eternal Yong, and safe An. My family has practiced martial arts and joined the army for generations, and my father is Qianhu from Jinyiwei. You What's your name?" the man asked.

Meng Kuang wrote on the ground: Meng Kuang.Then quickly erased the words with the soles of his feet.Just as Wang Yongan was about to continue talking to her, she immediately stood up, stood still, and ignored Wang Yongan any more.Wang Yong'an took a look, and the coach in the distance was walking towards them.He glanced at Meng Kuang, and thought to himself, could it be that this Meng Kuang is also a man who understands the rules, maybe he is not the same as him, his father, brother and elders in the family are Jin Yiwei, who have been in the new barracks.He smiled, rejoicing that he had found the same kind, and returned to his own position to stand still.

About a quarter of an hour after Meng Kuang and the others finished their laps, the rest of them finished their laps one after another. In fact, quite a few of them didn't finish [-] laps at all, but the instructor came back early.Facing the seven people who finished running first, he didn't say much, and directly found an adjutant, asking the adjutant to lead them to dinner, and then settled into the barracks to rest.Those who haven't finished running have to run [-] laps, and they have nothing to eat after running, so they all have to stay to listen to the lecture.

When Meng Kuang was eating in the dining hall, he could hear the roar of the coach outside intermittently, such as:

"You are really like a pile of rotten meat that is too lazy to grow maggots. Of all the recruits I have ever brought, you are the worst group!"

"If you can't run for fifty miles, if you march with heavy loads for three hundred miles, you just wait to die!"

"What do you come to the barracks for? You are not here to be masters!"

"Don't think that you are still the lifeblood of the family. You are just soldiers here. Your family background is full of fart. You are a fucking man if you survived the new barracks for me, otherwise you are all eggless!"

"Soldier, obeying orders is a bounden duty. Remember the three iron rules for me, obey orders, obey orders, and obey orders! All orders given by me must be answered loudly, loudly!"

After that, there was a hoarse roar, and the recruits who had been tossed half to death had to fully meet the coach's response standard until the sound was so loud that he was satisfied.During the period, a stabbed soldier couldn't bear the teacher's insults and spoke out to resist, but Meng Kuang heard the sound of the whip.At that time, she happened to have finished her meal and was leaving the dining hall. Standing at the door, she could see a soldier on the school field in the distance in front of more than 200 people, who was beaten to the ground by the instructor with a whip, and was beaten to death. Convinced, half a word can't come out.

"Do you still dare to resist? Remember! You will have to recite the 54 military regulations backwards and forwards [-]. Article [-]: If you complain too much, you will be angry with the general. If you don't listen to restraint, it will be even more difficult to teach. If you want to resist, you must be prepared to die. I only give you one chance, and you should be lucky if the whip serves you, and the second is to violate military regulations and be decisive!"

The recruits were silent like cicadas, not looking sideways, standing in place like a dead tree, not daring to move.

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of Hei Yanluo." Wang Yongan's voice sounded behind him, Meng Kuang turned around, and saw Wang Yongan looking at the coach in the distance and said:

"The black-faced coach is called Chu Zhongquan, nicknamed 'Black Yan Luo', the most terrifying existence in the recruit camp. He is really ruthless. It is said that recruits are folded in his hands every year, and some of them have very good family backgrounds. He is a son of wealth and honor. But he still sits firmly on Mount Tai. This guy's real brother is called Chu Yidao, who works in the prison office. He has just been promoted to a thousand households recently. He is in charge of the prison. He is nicknamed 'Ghost Hook' and is one of the Thirteen Taibao , an untouchable person."

Meng Kuangmeng pursed his lips slightly under the black scarf, and she thought it was a good thing that the instructor was so harsh and terrifying.Her father once told her that there were only two things she learned in the military middle school, killing skills and life-saving skills.The more rigorous the training, the more effective it will be on the battlefield in the future. Good soldiers who can survive hundreds of battles have skills that have been honed over time.

When Wang Yongan saw her, he didn't express his opinion, he didn't react much, and felt a little bored for a while.At this time, he had already noticed that the dumb fellow next to him was a guy with a somewhat cold personality, but somehow, he still felt that there was a special aura about this person that attracted him to approach.

Meng Kuang didn't continue to observe how Hei Yanluo tortured the recruits, but followed the guidance given by Adjutant Cai just now, and went to her own barracks.Since the recruit battalion has been stationed here for a long time, the barracks are all houses made of mud tiles, neatly arranged in rows, and there are nine rows of barracks, which are located in the northwest corner of the camp.Each row of houses has eight bays, and eight soldiers live in each house, regardless of their status or background, they are all treated like this.It is said that the last row is the residence of the coaches, and the treatment of the coaches is much better, two people share a room.

Meng Kuang's barracks were in the third east row from the south, and he smelled a very unpleasant smell when he entered the room.She knew that it was the body odor formed by seven or eight men living together in a relatively small, confined space. Although she had been mentally prepared for it, she still didn't expect it to be so smoky.What was even more surprising was that the beds in the house were all empty, and no one had yet moved in, which meant that the stench had accumulated over the years and could not dissipate, it was simply terrible.

She frowned and stepped into the room, and glanced at the number plate in her hand. This number plate represented her current identity, with her name, appearance, serial number, and serial number on it.Her number was thirteen, and she found her bed following the number plate hanging beside the bed.In fact, the bed in this house is just a big kang built against the wall, and a fire can be burned underneath for warmth in winter.There are rows of brackets erected on the kang, and tents are hung down, and each bed is separated by tents and bamboo curtains, forming a relatively narrow space that can maintain privacy.There is even a table and an oil lamp in the innermost place, which can be used by soldiers to write letters or read books. It looks a bit like the number room of the examination room mentioned by the second brother and her.

Meng Kuang's bed was at the innermost position, next to the window. She didn't know if this was the result of the arrangement through the back door, but it was very much to her liking.As expected of the new barracks of Jin Yiwei, the royal family's pro-army, the conditions were better than she expected, which comforted her a little, at least she still had room to maintain her privacy.

On the opposite side of the kang shop is a row of eight large cabinets for soldiers to store items. On the left side of the eight cabinets are neatly placed washing racks, on which are placed wooden basins, cloth towels and other toiletries.There was a large wooden box against the wall on the right side of the cabinet. Meng Kuang opened it and looked, but it was empty.

At this moment, a voice sounded at the door: "The armor and weapons are stored there, and we will get them tomorrow."

Meng Kuang turned his head and saw Wang Yongan walking in.He shook the number plate in his hand, and pointed to the bed next to Meng Kuang, which meant that it was his bed.

Meng Kuang was a little speechless, secretly thinking that this guy is really haunted.However, Wang Yongan didn't notice her displeasure at this moment. After walking in, he put down his burden and said:

"You left so fast, I wanted to ask you to go get the toiletries together." Seeing Meng Kuang standing up with a questioning expression, he said: "There is a warehouse next to the dining hall, let's go together go."

Meng Kuang also didn't want to offend others as soon as he came to the camp, so he nodded and followed him out of the barracks.Wang Yongan is really acquainted, and he really knows the new barracks very well, he should have been to this place before.He introduced the surrounding area of ​​the camp to Meng Kuang, and finally pointed to the northeast location of the camp, saying:

"There are latrines and bathrooms there. The only place where you can go to the latrine in the entire camp. It is really inconvenient to run a long distance every time. My father brought me here before. I was young at that time, and I almost pulled up my pants when I wanted to pee. ,Hahaha……"

Wang Yongan laughed loudly, but Meng Kuang was expressionless, and he couldn't help scratching his neck embarrassingly.Then he said:

"However, you must have never seen the bathroom in this camp. It's amazing. Most people's homes don't have such a bath. A huge copper tank is set on a high stove, filled with water, and the stove Add charcoal to the bottom to heat it up. Cut out several holes in the bottom of the tank, use bamboo tube gates to drain the water, and then guide it into several tubs, so that several people can bathe in one breath. It is said that the person who invented this bathing method is the black Yama , He said that if everyone does not wash in the same pool, it will not be easy to infect diseases."

At this moment, Meng Kuang thought, if she wanted to take a bath, she might have to wait until the dead of night when no one was around.Alas, every time she thinks about this problem, she gets a headache. In fact, she is already covered in sweat and very uncomfortable.

"I said Meng Kuang, what's your number?" Wang Yongan asked her suddenly.

Meng Kuang made a gesture of thirteen, Wang Yongan smiled, and said, "You actually numbered thirteen? The number thirteen is very special in our Jinyiwei. The thirteenth Taibao is extremely majestic. To tell you the truth, A large part of the reason why I entered Jinyiwei is that I want to be able to enter the Thirteen Taibao one day. I will call you Thirteen, and I wish you one day be able to enter the Thirteen Taibao.”

Meng Kuang bent his lips and said in his heart: I accept your good words.
