lying down

The setting sun was sinking to the west, the wind was cold and the snow was tight, Ouyang walked alone on the official road from the north of Jinyang City to the military camp.

Dongyang, who was about to fall, dragged Ouyang's shadow for more than ten feet, and threw it into the wild field of snow, mud and withered grass. A crow sang alone, pulling Ouyang back from his brow-wrinkling meditation.

He stopped, looked at the startled black crow in front of him, and let out a long sigh.

Before leaving, he explained everything in detail again, restaurants, blacksmiths, grocery stores, Goro's master and brother, Yunniang's relatives and friends, the selection of chefs, the search for orphans, etc., this big business seems to be booming, But that requires several times or even dozens of times of energy and effort. Fortunately, Ouyang has obtained a special permit to return to the city at will in his free time. He can also make decisions and take the helm of his own business. But without a man, it is absolutely difficult to sustain.

Along the way, what lingered in his mind was not business matters. After all, the funds were sufficient, the general direction had been decided, and he could just follow the steps. What he couldn't let go of the most was the arrival and confession of his eldest grandson Linling.

In an unexpected accident, Ouyang never thought that the fairy he once talked about would come to the door in person, let alone that she and Di Xue would appear on the same day. Even after the silver knife broke its hair and drifted away, it left a bunch of worries and worries to myself.

"Putting a knife to cut off the water makes the water flow even more, and toasting to relieve the sorrow is even more sorrowful." He sighed, thinking about it all the way, but he didn't understand the emotional entanglement from beginning to end, so he simply didn't want to think about it, and decided to see how the fate of the two is. .

A gust of cold wind blew up, kicking up a lot of dust on the bare ground, making Ouyang's brows ashen, he spat out the dirt between his teeth, and hurried towards the camp...

"Stand up for me, your legs are tight and your feet are tense, okay, yes, hold on." Before Ouyang reached his tent area, he heard Goro's loud voice from another camp.

I rushed to the camp area in two steps, and saw the 57 people standing there upright. Beads of sweat slid down their faces like rain. In this extremely cold winter evening, their faces were all steaming, presumably from training. Ruthless enough, otherwise there would not be such a large amount of sweating, but at first glance, except for Ge Ye and Liu Yuxuan who kept wandering around to correct the soldiers, the rest of the three guards including Huo Chang Soldier and his seventh brother were all It looks good and has made a lot of progress.

This sight made Ouyang feel a lot better. Sang Yu, who was lost in the east, encountered troubles at home, but didn't want to be surprised by his own camp.

He walked two steps quickly, and suddenly appeared in front of the soldiers, looked at the crowd with a smile on his face, looked around, and shouted in his somewhat hoarse voice, "Slow down!"

Among the soldiers, those who responded quickly stepped across with their feet shoulder-width apart, and clasped their hands tightly behind their backs. Those who reacted slowly followed each other when they saw others move. Generally speaking, they reacted quickly and mastered the essentials After all, they have only practiced for two days.

Ouyang watched his slightly changed resting movements being neatly made by this group of wolf-like soldiers, and he couldn't help but feel amused: "These people are indeed good embryos. I really can't figure out how other generals would be willing to give up such a good seedling." Release it!"

"Not much nonsense, everyone has worked hard today, now rest and eat, continue to explain the strategic thinking of special operations after the meal, soak my feet in hot water for a quarter of an hour before going to bed, and disband." Ouyang gave an order to relieve the soldiers from extreme fatigue. Liberated from the middle, looking at the relaxed soldiers in twos and twos, secretly laughing...

On the next day at 60:[-], just after dawn, a team of [-] people trotted out along the small road outside the barracks. It can be seen that the speed of the march and the spirit of the generals were far less high than yesterday morning.

The team stopped at the foot of a mountain next to the barracks. As soon as the team stood still, the soldiers noticed Ouyang's strange expression, and they were secretly surprised that this young instructor would not come up with some torture tricks.

"Liu Yuxuan, Ge Ye." The cold voice sounded in a low voice.

"Here." Liu Yuxuan and Ge Ye stepped forward to give a military salute, waiting for Ouyang's instructions.

With a dark face, Ouyang said coldly: "From today onwards, the first thing before training every day is to take your soldiers and run from here, go around the back mountain and come back. The time should not exceed half an hour. If anyone comes back after this time, he will have nothing to eat, I don't care how you run, even if you run with him on your back, drag him, or hold him in your arms, you must finish the run within the specified time, understand Already!"

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately it was just running, compared with yesterday's standing in a military posture and kicking forward, this is really too easy.

Just when they were secretly rejoicing, Ouyang Yu suddenly pointed to the pile of rubble exposed at the foot of the mountain not far away, and said word by word: "There are stones there, open your backpacks, fill them up for me, and tie them around your waist." On the legs, set off immediately after tying it up!"

As soon as the soldiers heard this, they immediately exploded. Let’s run now. Why do you get a stone bag? Let’s run down like that for half an hour. I’m afraid they won’t be able to run for an hour. , but that patience and outburst are used at the moment of charge. In normal battles, once my group makes a hole, the infantry behind will rush up like a tide. I don't need my endurance for such a long time, but this The mountain next to the barracks, if you run around by yourself, you may be so tired that you will lie down on the ground, and there is a time limit, and you have to tie a stone bag. Is the brigade commander crazy! !The young brigade commander was laughing and laughing during the two-day break, but he didn't want to be more ruthless than anyone else in training, he really was a devil.

Ouyang pulled out the saber at his waist, and said coldly: "Don't forget the military discipline I said, anyone who has the guts to try it!"

After finishing speaking, Ouyang ran to the side first, picked up nearly thirty to forty catties of stones, put them into his carry-on bag and tied them up, and then carried a large stone of about twenty catties in his arms, lifted his legs and ran away.

Everyone saw that the coach had already entered the battle, and the weight of the stone they carried was beyond their imagination. They quickly tied the stone bag, and a group of people swayed towards the back mountain, no one wanted to hurt their comrades in the same fire No food.

After running for less than half the distance, except for a few people with excellent endurance or martial arts, the rest were panting like cows, their lungs were almost coughed out, and some people couldn't run anymore and fell to the ground. Hurry up to call people to help him up, and run forward with pulling and pulling, until more than half of the run, everyone can't support anymore, sitting or lying down in pieces, drinking water in big gulps , Those fire chiefs looked anxious, first tried to persuade them, then yelled at them, and then kicked them hard, but those people just didn't move, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't bear such high-intensity training.

Ouyang has been not far ahead, deliberately suppressing the speed and leading them to run, otherwise at his speed, these people did not run half a lap, and he would have to complete a lap before he could take a nap.

He turned his head and saw the group of people behind him as if he had just entered the military camp in his previous life. He thought to himself that he didn't know how to persevere at that time, he only remembered that his legs were shaking after running, and every step he took was extremely tired.

He didn't want to talk about any more big reasons, he just trotted back to the crowd, put down the boulder in his arms first, looked up at the crowd, picked one or two soldiers who were really tired, and took the stone bag from them He took it off and put it on his shoulders, and then carried the big stone back into his arms with some difficulty, and continued to run forward.

"How many stones are hanging on Lu Shuai's body, I'm afraid it's more than seventy catties!"

"Will he be able to bear this lap? It's only half a lap, and I feel like my bones are falling apart. Look here, my skin is torn!"

"Damn, the brigade commander will carry the stones for us, don't we have nothing to do with the bottom, if you are a man, you get up, you have to climb back, you are lying here like a woman, what are you waiting for, let's go!"

"Chongla, I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of making a ball!"

A group of people got up and helped each other, and didn't bother to see if the people around them were soldiers they fought against. A group of men rushed forward, startling many winter birds that had just woken up. .

Listening to the conversation of the people not far behind, Ouyang turned his head and glanced at their crooked figures, but his heart warmed up, "Come on." He secretly cheered up for everyone, adjusted the stone bags all over his body, run forward.

Ouyang stood at the starting point, the stones on his body and in his arms were still there. It was not until the last soldier was supported and ran back after another moment that he threw the stones aside and praised loudly: "Yes, today's lap It took more than an hour to come down, but no one was left behind, no one was thrown in the mountains, I saw your unity and mutual help, I am very happy!"

After finishing speaking, the voice changed, and he said sharply: "The special independent brigade listens to the order, all members gather, and walk back to the camp with me!"

Everyone was stunned, what happened to the commander-in-chief? Can't you just take a break? Goro stepped forward and said, "Eighth brother, I'm going to lose my life running this lap. Brothers are so tired that they're going to die. Look!" , Let them rest for a while..."

"If you rest on the spot after such a quick march, it will harm you. Get up and walk slowly, so that your muscles and bones can be stretched out, and you won't be unable to get out of bed the next day. If you still believe in me, the brigade commander, just go I’m with you, if you don’t believe it’s okay if you take a break and go back slowly, you’ll just know the consequences of not getting up tomorrow morning.” Ouyang couldn’t explain to them the knowledge of medicine and physiology and kinesiology, so he could only briefly say, let They will see the effect tomorrow morning.

Everyone stood up slowly, they chose to believe in Ouyang Yu, at least so far, he has never done anything that disbelieved everyone, the accumulation of prestige within a few days played a role, and the group of people followed Ouyang away.

Just entering the gate of the camp, the sergeants who got up and finished breakfast were walking towards their camp in twos and threes. They couldn't help laughing when they saw this team covered in sweat and mud.

"Hey, isn't this the 'special' brigade in our camp? Why don't you eat and go to wipe the mud this early in the morning?" A piercing jeer sounded, causing the surrounding audience to burst into laughter.
