Chapter 284: Recruits Enlist
Su Qiubai withdrew his senses and frowned worriedly, he was not afraid that this evil qi would hurt him, but he was worried that he would no longer be able to use the Xuanyuan Sword, and it would be even more difficult to rescue his mother. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to step up your cultivation so that you have enough ability to use the Xuanyuan Sword.
Su Pojun saw his son's look of loss, so he comforted: "You don't have to be discouraged, even if you don't have the Xuanyuan Sword, with your Jindan stage cultivation, there are not many people in this world who are your opponents, why bother with the power of divine weapons?" ”
Su Qiubai didn't answer, but asked, "When are we going to leave for Weihai?" ”
Su Pojun looked at him with interest, not knowing why he was suddenly so eager to join the army, and replied after a while: "I have a week left on vacation, take advantage of this time to accompany your grandfather, the old man has not been accompanied by anyone for more than a year, and he has a big opinion in his heart." ”
Su Qiubai nodded, reluctantly put away the Xuanyuan Sword, and decided not to use it again unless it was an emergency.
A week later, after Su Qiubai said goodbye to Zhou Xin and others, he followed Su Pojun on his trip to Weihai, and in just a few days, Su Pojun settled the two cases he was carrying.
Since then, Su Qiubai has been a member of the Weihai Navy.
A day later, the father and son finally arrived at the headquarters of the Wei Naval Region, although Su Pojun was transferred to be the supreme commander here, but after all, he was new to the army, and it was still a question whether he could serve the public.
As soon as he entered the military region, Su Pojun said to Su Qiubai: "You and I are now a relationship between superiors and subordinates, not father and son, if you dare to do anything wrong in the army, I will not protect you, understand?" ”
Su Qiubai secretly slandered himself, but he didn't dare to show it, he just nodded honestly, indicating that he knew.
Today's Su Qiubai is just an ordinary naval recruit and is not qualified to be received by senior officers, so Su Pojun explained a few words to his subordinates and took him to the new barracks.
Su Qiubai knew that what his father explained to that person must not be a good thing, most of them were to be strict with himself, and he didn't have to give him face or anything like that, it seemed that he didn't have a good life in the army.
When Su Pojun was transferred, it was when the recruits enlisted in the army, so Su Qiubai was just in time for the recruit training, before starting the training, Su Qiubai first followed his father's guards to receive military uniforms and bedding and other daily necessities, and then was sent to the recruit dormitory.
When the recruits first joined the army, they were not assigned a specific establishment, but were uniformly called the Recruit Corps. This year, more than 3,000 recruits from the Weihai Navy have enlisted in the army, and they are divided into three recruit regiments, and Su Qiubai is in the second regiment.
After Su Qiubai received the key to his dormitory, he carried the futon and went to find Room 405 of Building 8, where he was, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that several people in the dormitory had arrived first.
The recruits' dormitories are all ten-person rooms, and a veteran is the squad leader to lead the recruits, and at this time, the people in the dormitory have not yet arrived, and there are only seven including Su Qiubai.
Since it was the first time we had met and we weren't familiar with each other, we had no topic after introducing each other's names.
It didn't take long for everyone in the 405 dormitory to arrive, and their squad leader finally appeared with the futon on his shoulder.
The squad leader seemed to be very dissatisfied with the fact that he was going to be the squad leader for the recruits, and he worked very hard to get out of bed, and he seemed to be very unhappy when he fell and beaten.
After making the bed, the squad leader cleared his throat and said, "My name is Ma Xinming, I am the squad leader of your third class, and I will have the final say in this dormitory in the future, you better be honest with me!" I put my ugly words in front, I have a bad temper, if anyone makes a mistake in the future, don't blame me for not being polite to you! ”
As soon as he appeared, he gave everyone a dismount, which inevitably made people dissatisfied with him. Most of these recruits are seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers, even if they are not pampered at home, they are loved by their grandfathers and grandmothers, where have they been so angry. But because of his status as a squad leader, several recruits didn't dare to speak, you look at me, I look at yours, stunned in place. Only Su Qiubai didn't seem to hear this, and still made his bed unhurriedly, without looking at Ma Xinming.
Ma Xinming quickly noticed that Su Qiubai, an outlier who was obviously different from others, pointed at him and asked, "You, what's your name?" ”
Su Qiubai was making the bed with his head down, and he could provoke him.
Ma Xinming walked behind Su Qiubai in three or two steps, and raised his foot to kick his buttocks, but Su Qiubai's five senses were very sensitive, and he knew the situation behind him without looking at it, so he avoided it with a slight flash, Ma Xinming kicked in the air, and almost fell to the ground, and suddenly became even more annoyed.
The other recruits saw that Ma Xinming was deflated, and they all secretly felt enjoyable in their hearts, this guy didn't give everyone a good look when he first came, and it was not bad for someone to give him Ma Wei.
"You're not a little cowardly!" Ma Xinming said angrily.
Su Qiubai realized at this time that he was talking to himself just now, but he was a little puzzled by the meaning of his words, obviously he did it to himself first, and he didn't fight back, why did he get angry instead?
Su Qiubai met Ma Xinming's gaze without fear, but his openness was contempt in Ma Xinming's eyes, which undoubtedly stimulated his anger even more.
"Will you try to glare at me again?" Ma Xinming pointed to Su Qiubai's nose and said.
Su Qiubai frowned, he hated others pointing at him the most, so he raised his hand and pushed Ma Xinming's hand away, and said, "First, I didn't stare at you, I was just looking at you." Second, it's very rude for you to point at someone's nose like this, although you are our squad leader, it doesn't mean that you can insult us casually. ”
Several other recruits secretly applauded in their hearts when they heard this, but Su Qiubai's behavior was not very smart in their eyes, and it was not a good thing for him to anger the squad leader on the first day of enlistment.
Ma Xinming's eyes widened when he heard this, he couldn't believe that this recruit was so bold and dared to directly argue with himself, didn't he want to mix well in the army?
Thinking of this, he suddenly noticed that Su Qiubai looked a lot older than the others, so he asked suspiciously, "How old are you this year?" ”
Su Qiubai replied, "Twenty-four." ”
Ma Xinming frowned, and asked again, "Is your surname Su?" ”
Su Qiubai squinted at him, and suddenly realized what he was going to say, so he nodded.
Seeing this, Ma Xinming laughed, his eyes full of disdain: "Who should I dare to look at no one like this, it turned out to be the son of General Su's family, no wonder he didn't take me as a squad leader in his eyes." ”
It is not easy to hide Su Pojun's arrangement for his son to enlist in the army, and he has no intention of concealing it, so many people already know about this matter, and Ma Xinming is one of them.
Su Qiubai frowned and looked at Ma Xinming, knowing that he said this on purpose, so as to arouse the dissatisfaction of several other people with him, whether they were envious or jealous, in short, most of the people who came in through the back door like him were unpleasant, even if Su Pojun did not give him any special treatment, but in the eyes of others, he would not see it that way.
Sure enough, the eyes of several other recruits looking at Su Qiubai also changed, although they didn't dare to blatantly despise him, but that look was obviously not very much like him.
"It has nothing to do with whose son I am saying these words, you have to teach us military discipline, of course I will obey, but if you want to trample on my dignity, then I can't give in." Su Qiubai ignored the eyes of those people, and still looked directly into Ma Xinming's eyes and said.
Although Ma Xinming was very unhappy with him in his heart, because of Su Pojun's identity, he didn't dare to make too much trouble, so he had to glare at him viciously, and pondered a way to rectify Su Qiubai in his heart.
The first step to teach recruits is to tidy up housekeeping, and one of the most difficult is to fold the quilt, which requires the quilt to be folded into angular "tofu blocks", which stumped Su Qiubai.
He used to not fold quilts at home, because he felt that it was very troublesome to fold and fold, but now he not only has to fold them, but also folds them so neatly, in his opinion, he is simply full of food.
Under Ma Xinming's deliberate difficulty, Su Qiubai refolded it more than a dozen times but still couldn't pass it, so he complained: "The quilt is used to cover, not a handicraft for people to enjoy, what's the use of folding it beautifully?" Can I kill two more enemies? ”
Ma Xinming saw that the opportunity had come, so he reprimanded: "What do you know? The army must have the appearance of the army, don't look at it as a trivial matter of folding quilts, this hones your will, patience, and character! I can't even fold a quilt, what are you going to talk about to kill the enemy on the battlefield? ”
Su Qiubai scoffed at this, in his opinion, this is a redundant and meaningless old rule, which does not play any positive role except for the consumption of patience.
After failing twice, Su Qiubai simply gave up, folded the quilt indiscriminately in three or two times, threw it at the head of the bed, and then stopped working.
"What do you mean by that?" Ma Xinming said with anger.
"What can it mean? I'm done. Su Qiubai said lightly.
Ma Xinming pointed to the quilt he folded on the opposite bed and said, "I'll let you fold it like this, understand?" ”
Su Qiubai glanced at it and said, "I don't have your skills, so I can't fold it." ”
Ma Xinming wanted to kick him twice, but he was afraid that he would sue General Su, so he had to endure and endure, and finally glanced out the window, and suddenly had a plan, pointed to the playground outside the window and said, "It won't fold, right?" Go outside and run twenty laps. ”
Su Qiubai glanced out the window and saw that the track on the playground was about 400 meters a circle, and 20 laps were 8,000 meters, which was almost like a walk after dinner for Su Qiubai, and he would rather go outside to run laps than fold the quilt.
"What are you doing? Don't go yet! Ma Xinming said angrily.
Su Qiubai glanced at him coldly, and then went out without saying a word, and after a while, he appeared on the playground and started running gracefully.
When Ma Xinming saw his comfortable appearance, he was immediately angry, and he stood up and went to the playground to find him.
