The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 425 The land of Bashu does not support idlers

The wooden seats of the green leather train are full of traces of time, and the recruits' bodies are swaying as the train moves forward.

The carriage was filled with a faint smell of soot and heat, leaving behind a thick layer of dust during the long journey. Sunlight passed through the carriage, and under the Tyndall effect, the entire interior of the carriage was somewhat hazy.

The train traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers. The recruits cuddled with each other during the bumps and seek a moment of comfort. Along the way, they saw the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland.

With rolling mountains and surging rivers, a magnificent natural picture was vividly displayed before their eyes.

However, the passage of time has made these young people feel physically and mentally exhausted. The noisy train and the bumps along the way have gradually worn away their physical strength and will.

The carriage had long since become quiet. Some were taking naps on their seats, while others were flipping through the books they had brought. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Everyone was struggling with physical discomfort and chewing. I gritted my teeth and looked forward to arriving soon.

"Wow, wow, look, all the men and women here have headscarves on their heads!"

A sudden cry made a group of young people scramble to hold the windows open and look out the window. They were very curious about all the new things outside. More people were wondering if they had arrived.

"This thing is called Xiaopa. It is said that it is commemorated in memory of Zhuge. Some people also say that the people of Bashu swear to death in battles. Xiaopa wipes the blood when he is injured and wraps his body after death. This shows that the people are strong!"

"Of course, some people say in recent years that men in Shu have copper legs and iron walls, and their heads must be covered. Over time, it has become a custom for both men and women to wear filial piety. Don't use the ones from the north. Look at this place with your eyes!!”

Battalion Commander Shi stood up, looked at the recruits, and briefly introduced that the local customs must be respected. Every place has its own customs. Only by accepting them can we integrate into the local residents. .

Is this called the fish-water situation between the military and civilians?
Li Xuewen, who tilted his head sideways, was obviously a little distracted. He stopped writing and seemed to be listening to what Battalion Commander Shi said.

"Dangdangdang!"

Staff Officer Lei tapped the small table with his fingers and called Li Xuewu back, who was obviously distracted.

"What are you thinking about? Mark your current location!"

Staff Officer Lei put the pencil in his hand on the small table with a look in his eyes that said, "I want to test your intentions and punish you for being distracted."

Li Xuewen glanced up and saw the uncle lying on the small table, staring directly at him. He hurriedly picked up the green compass and opened the lid with his thumb.

"This question is relatively simple. In the land of Bashu, near Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan, vehicles are currently traveling from north to south. It is calculated based on the driving time and driving speed of the previous stop...!"

With one hand holding the compass flat and the other hand quickly calculating the mileage, Li Xuewen, forced by reality, took out what he had learned and muttered to himself.

"We just crossed the river and it was going east to west, so we should be here!"

The pencil drew a shallow circle on the map from Chaotianmen to Caiba Garden. After answering the questions, Li Xuewu put down the pencil and looked at Lei Zhen, like a student waiting for the teacher to check his homework.

Lei Zhen did not turn the map around, but nodded slightly several times, which was regarded as passing the assessment.

Draw the contour lines here on this piece of paper!Lei Zhen's fingers slowly moved to the right, all the way to the end of the railway line on the far right, and he tapped lightly, then clasped his hands and looked out the window.

Li Xuewu scratched his head. He could vaguely understand the contour lines now, but asking him to draw them would be fatal. Remember, it was a basin. Is it difficult to draw a plain?

Now, he is like a student who has just learned linear equations of two variables. The teacher brought up questions about quadratic equations of one variable. Although they are all equations, one is from junior high school and the other is from high school.

If you can't even remember the map you've seen, then you'd better be obedient like them and wait to get off the bus and go with Battalion Commander Shi.

Seeing Li Xuewu holding the pen without moving, Lei Zhen raised his eyebrows, moved his face to Li Xuewu, stared into his eyes and said.

"What if I draw it?"

The young and competitive Li Xuewu is back. His brother Li Xuewen said that this younger brother is like a spring. The more you press it, the more it will stimulate his subsequent rebound. At this time, he started to take it seriously.

Why did he spend money to learn a driver's license? He just had to be different from other recruits. Why, it was the wildness in his heart that was at work. Even if he was a soldier, he had to be different from his peers and be the best soldier. Otherwise, how would he go back? Facing those younger brothers.

"Even if you draw it, you can't prove anything to me. If you completely forget your clever words, I'm afraid I won't look at you seriously!!"

From the beginning, Lei Zhen looked down on such a smooth-faced soldier. In his eyes, it would be fine if he was an old soldier. This new recruit, who had just joined the army, showed his local habits of being able to get both sides of the situation. Is this what it's like to be a soldier?

He, Lei Zhen, only likes men who would rather break than bend and have a strong character. Only such a person will strictly abide by discipline and face everything calmly, instead of waving the flag and shouting from behind when his comrades are fighting tenaciously. Such a person, He's seen a lot.

The words with a hint of contempt aroused Li Xuewu to the extreme. The right hand holding the pencil could not help but tremble at the moment, and his expression was pale and weak.

"Look, you can't listen to the truth at all. You think the aura of gangsters in you is your true nature. No, the army does not lack sneaky people like you. You can't even abandon your past self. How can you talk about it? Throw yourself into the melting pot, and if you want to gain recognition and respect from others, you must first show your attitude and let me see it, do you understand me, little guy!"

"Crack~!"

The pencil in his right hand broke, his face turned pale, and Li Xuewu couldn't help but tremble, as if he had been stabbed deep in his heart, the most vulnerable place.

"It turns out, it turns out, in your eyes, I...!"

"You're not bullshit. You're just a lawless brat who grew up in an environment where your parents doted on you. You were sent to the army because your parents didn't want to see you go to jail!"

Regarding the broken pencil, Lei Zhen raised his eyebrows and secretly thought that the young man had a strong hand, but he still did not give in what he said. He has his tolerance. If a recruit can't even face these problems directly, then There is no hope, there is no chance to grow into a qualified military king.

This may be a whim after learning about the rumors about the Bashu land, and he wanted to see if he could transform the young man in front of him into a backbone in the team.

With his head lowered, Li Xuewen's mind was a mess. All his plans, even what he had done before, seemed to be clearly seen by the people in front of him. His heart was now full of fear, anger, and unwillingness... …
