The country is broken

To the surprise of the porter leader Wang Touer, the little boy easily carried such a heavy burden without saying a word. You must know that such a heavy burden cannot be carried by just anyone, only experienced, young and strong hands can carry it. He could bear it, but the other guy who followed the boy gradually lost his strength, and his body began to shake.

"...You...***...I have been hurt by you..." Ding Heyang was so heavy that his farts kept ringing. He was born as a scholar, how could he be worth doing coolies every day? An authentic farmer is not an expert in carrying heavy loads, and it was obvious that Li Wei had hurt Chi Yu.

Li Wei heard Ding Heyang's muffled farts behind him, looked back with some doubts, and said, "Old Ding?! Are you eating bad food?!"

Seeing that Ding Heyang's face was turning red and white, sweat was like raindrops, and his body was swaying, Li Wei quickly turned around the pick on his shoulder, and stretched out his hand to support Ding Heyang's pick.

"..." Ding Heyang took a long breath, exhaled heavily, and couldn't help cursing, "I'm about to die with this heavy burden." [

"Yeah! It's just a little heavy, and it's not too heavy to breathe, Lao Ding, you have to exercise more." Li Wei shook his head, dissatisfied with Ding Heyang's strength, and continued: "Teach you a little trick, breathing carefully Rhythm, the burden should not be supported by force, but should be gently swayed along the two ends of the pole, the center of gravity should be well controlled within the controllable range of shaking, and spare strength should be left when taking steps, so that the rhythm of the whole body is consistent. Of course, you can't last long with such stupid strength. "

Although he has no experience as a heavy-duty porter, Li Wei himself has learned several sets of strength skills. In fact, the usual method of porters chanting is also secretly consistent with the most scientific way of exerting force. The emphasis is on regular return and exertion , If you force yourself to support the gravity and cannot keep your muscles in a tense state, your physical strength will definitely be greatly consumed.

Putting the burden on the side of the road, Li Wei moved a few things from Ding Heyang's two baskets to his own basket, sharing part of the weight for Ding Heyang.

Ding Heyang firmly believes in the force-using skills taught by Li Wei. Although this guy has always liked to use brute force to solve problems, he is definitely not someone who can only use stupid force. Ability, Li Wei is definitely the No. [-] figure in the base area.

After losing part of the weight, Ding Heyang followed the method taught by Li Wei.Picking up the pole again, he wobbled to keep up with the team, but he was no longer as unbearable as before, barely maintaining his physical strength to keep up with the exhaustion.

The other porters were very puzzled. The technique Li Wei mentioned was clearly the trick of experienced porters who specialize in this industry.

The sun was gradually setting to the west, and the porters were all sweating and panting. In order to arrive at the accommodation before the sun went down, the group did not dare to rest many times, and even stopped shouting.All the people hurried on in silence.If they wanted to rest, the ferocious beasts that appeared in the mountains after dark were definitely not what the group of them would like to encounter.

There are tricks to applying even force though.Ding Heyang was also as exhausted as the other porters, but Li Wei was still panting slightly, he didn't look as exhausted as the others. This little boy really can't tell, the strength under his hands is unambiguous at all, even Mr. Wang lost his eyes, and the other porters are full of surprise, it seems that such a heavy burden is not as heavy as imagined. heavy.

It was getting dark.The Lu family finally arrived at a crowded valley, and the porters didn't trip Li Wei and Ding Heyang any more. They were obviously frightened by Li Wei's long stamina, and it was abnormal. Demon, Mr. Wang, who has seen a little bit of the world, seriously suspects that there must be something different about that little boy, pretending that nothing happened, Mr. Wang arranged for the porters to make food for themselves.

There is only a circle of stone walls, a carriage and horse shop with a few simple thatched houses, the housekeeper and servants of the Lu family serve Master Lu and other family members to rest.Those porters search for sleep and fill their stomachs by themselves. In this kind of barren mountains and wild places, the local mountain people build themselves to earn some oil and salt money. For the occasional passers-by, they can have a shelter from the wind and rain. That's enough.

"Hiss!~" Ding Heyang was gasping for air, his small arms and legs were being kneaded in Li Wei's hands, his physical output was too high during the day, his muscles were strained, and he didn't feel much when he just put down the burden. Soon, I felt pain like a needle prick in my muscles, and I couldn't even lift my hands, which were weak and numb.

Li Wei knew that this was caused by excessive muscle strain and the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles. Through kneading and patting, the accumulated lactic acid was dispersed into the blood and decomposed through circulation.

"It's really useless. It's like this all of a sudden. It's useless. It's under my command. How can it be such a bear? The Eighth Route Army is famous for not being able to run or die." Li Wei beat Ding Heyang habitually, The expression on Ding Heyang's face was distorted and he couldn't make a sound, and he didn't know whether he was angry by Li Wei or hurt by being pinched.

Li Wei's voice was very soft, only he and Ding Heyang could hear it.Ding Heyang scolded in his heart, it's not all because of you.

The master of the Lu family spent a lot of money to move his family this time. In order to avoid being wiped out by others, he has already moved to Beiping several times in batches. The porters are willing to go to this barren mountain after rewarding them heavily. The price of food in the mountains is extremely expensive, and such expensive meals are all provided by the Lu family. Of course, there is no good food. A big pot is like sorghum, corn, sweet potato, pumpkin, chopped and boiled into a ball like a pig The food-like food was given to each porter by the porter leader Wang Tou'er with a spoon, and Li Wei and Ding Heyang's share was not less. Li Wei's performance during the day also made him recognize these two newcomers. here.

Each porter took out the salt they carried with them. This is a kind of coarse salt block. The color is not pure white, but yellowish. For those who specialize in gravity work, salt represents strength, and they do not eat salt. If you have no strength, from a scientific point of view, the lack of electrolytes will naturally affect the physical fitness of the human body. When eating, each porter pinches a small grain of salt on the food.

Maybe it was because of the curious expression of Li Wei, who was holding a job bowl like them, the head porter Wang Touer smiled, broke off two pieces of salt and handed it to Li Wei, saying: "Haven't you seen it?! Come and have a taste!" He saw that this young man had an unusual background, he didn't even recognize Yanba, but he believed that Li Wei was a wealthy man.

Salt, as a necessity of life, can sometimes be regarded as a kind of hard currency in mountainous areas. Wang Touer's generosity has won the favor of Li Wei. No. 11 is close to the coast of Shandong, and there is sun-dried sea salt, but not This kind of large rock-like salt block should be salt bricks produced by inland salt mines. Li Wei, who has been accustomed to fine salt since childhood and has no experience as a leader, has never seen such a thing , I scratched and licked it with my fingers, the salty taste was bitter, obviously much more unpalatable than the refined salt I ate before.

Seeing Li Wei's expression and actions, Ding Heyang became more and more convinced that Li Wei's background was definitely not from a bourgeoisie, but that he was obviously a block of salt mined in a salt mine in the mountains. It's understandable to get acquainted with the young master of the Zhao family from the national army, but he couldn't figure out how Li Wei, who seemed to be a young master, would join the revolutionary ranks. Wouldn't it be good to continue to be the young master of a rich family? Like an excuse to the Lu family, a kid from a rich family in ruins?Why did the superiors not elaborate on Li Wei's class identification, he is a bourgeois young master with red seedlings?This is obviously a contradiction. [

However, Ding Heyang would never have imagined that the life of modern bourgeoisie and ordinary people is much better than that of landlords in this era.

"Hey, sloppy, this is the broth that the master rewarded you." Steward Wang appeared in the shed where the porters ate with a small earthen pot, and placed the earthen pot in front of Li Wei.

"Thank you butler!" Li Wei sniffled his nose and smelled the smell of oil in the crock. Even though it was leftover soup, it was better to have oil than nothing.

Maybe Li Wei was favored by Mr. Lu and the second wife, and they decided to be their future servants, so they gave them special care. Wang Guanguan put down the earthen pot, and left without saying anything, frowning, holding his breath. The expression of breathing is obviously not used to the shack that smells of sweat.

"Hehe! Come, come, everyone who sees it will have a share!" Li Wei casually threw the two pieces of salt that Mr. Wang gave him into the earthen pot, shook it, and then poured it out among the porters with unexpected surprises on their faces. .

The shack is filled with a strong smell of meat, wild animals such as badgers in the mountains are very fat, two small pieces of salt can be exchanged for a pot of broth, for Li Wei's kindness, the head porter Wang Touer looked at There was no longer any strange look in Li Wei's eyes, he was completely as if he was his own person, talking loudly, patting his shoulders, and looking like a good brother.

The other porters seemed to have fully accepted Li Wei and Ding Heyang, happily sharing this rare delicacy,

It is always like this for a biological population to accept new members. After the original members provoke and bully the new members, the strength of the new members is measured, and then they are divided into the corresponding status in the group. This is very common in the biological world, even humans can not avoid.

In the rice bowl poured with some broth, the dinner, which was as light as pig food, suddenly became attractive. The salty broth was added to make the broth more salty, which was very suitable for porters who had sweated all day. Appetite, amidst the lively chatter and laughter, the guard and dullness of the two newcomers in the shack were swept away by this pot of broth.
