Chapter 15 A skill
Some people fall in love at first sight, and some people are close friends when they know each other.
Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu are by no means just companions for survival, they are definitely more than that.
Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu naturally became companions in life and death, not friends, not lovers, and not family members, but both of them cherished each other to the extreme, and even said that they would not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for each other, and this only took a short day.
It may even be that when Gao Yuan handed the box of canned food to Luo Xingyu, the two of them were inseparable.
But Xiang Weiguo is different.
It's just a night away, Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu have become an inseparable whole, and two days after Xiang Weiguo came, they are still just neighbors.
In fact, Gao Yuan wants to develop a more intimate relationship with Xiang Weiguo, because Xiang Weiguo is indeed a good person, and then he is indeed a very amazing person.
But in the past two days, Xiang Weiguo's posture has always been as close as Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu.
For two days, Xiang Weiguo has always focused on building his old mansion, but at night he would rather sleep in an old mansion without a roof than share a room with Gao Yuan.
When it's time to eat, Xiang Weiguo will also unceremoniously share wild boar with Gao Yuan, but he will take the initiative to take on the work of cooking meat, but he basically can't speak during the meal, and after eating, he will continue to repair his old house.
Gao Yuan hadn't left the shelter in the past two days, and he hadn't even checked his trap because he needed to stay and take care of Luo Xingyu, and then, he would also help Xiang Weiguo do some chores.
But when they were working together, Xiang Weiguo always had nothing to say, even if Gao Yuan took the initiative to provoke the topic, Xiang Weiguo was silent most of the time.
Since listening to the radio, Xiang Weiguo and him were like a different person when they first appeared.
Today is the third day, and after covering the windows with plastic sheeting, Xiang Weiguo has a simple but complete home.
The plastic sheet was pressed with a wooden stick, and the wooden stick was fixed with a wooden nail, and after knocking the last wooden nail into the crack in the stone, Xiang Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief.
He handed the axe in his hand to Gao Yuan, and said to Wei Guo very seriously: "Thank you for your tools, and thank you for your help." ”
Gao Yuan didn't take the axe, he smiled and said: "The axe will be given to you, how can you live in the mountains without an axe." ”
Xiang Weiguo was not polite, he withdrew the axe, looked at Gao Yuan quietly for a few moments, and then suddenly said: "The house has been repaired, so let's start today." ”
Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "What to start with?" ”
"Start training."
In the past three days, Xiang Weiguo has never mentioned what he wants to teach Gao Yuan, even if Gao Yuan asks from the side, he avoids answering, but now, Xiang Weiguo finally took the initiative to mention it.
"Training, good!"
Xiang Weiguo continued to say lightly: "Xiaoyu is still too weak now, but she is young after all, and she will recover quickly if she has enough food to supplement her nutrition, so you can take her to practice together, in this world, it is always good to learn more self-defense things." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Xiang, thank you!"
Xiang Weiguo obviously hesitated for a moment and said: "Two days ago, I didn't want to eavesdrop on what you and Xiaoyu said about despair and hope, I just wanted to borrow a tool from you after calming down a little, so I still heard it, and then ......"
"What?"
Xiang Weiguo said helplessly: "Despair, as a soldier, I can't play any role in this war, if this is a war, then a soldier who has no role is nothing, what is it?" ”
Gao Yuan didn't answer, and he couldn't answer either.
Xiang Weiguo sighed and said: "As a soldier, if I can fight with aliens, even if I will die immediately, I will never hesitate at all, but what I am most afraid of is that I don't know what I can do." ”
Gao Yuan said in a low voice: "What we can do now is to try to live, maybe there is really any hope." ”
Xiang Weiguo nodded, and said: "Back then, our company commander said that the inchworm is bent to seek faith, and the dragon and snake are stung to survive, and there is hope for survival, which is true." ”
Gao Yuanleng paused for a moment and said, "Foodie...... What does that mean, I don't understand. ”
Xiang Weiguo smiled and said: "It's not a foodie, it's an inchworm, a kind of insect, it is said that the inchworm bends its body to move forward, and the dragon snake sleeps to save its life, this sentence comes from Yi Chuan." ”
Gao Yuan said sincerely: "Uncle Xiang, you are really knowledgeable!" ”
Xiang Weiguo shook his head and said: "This is what our company commander told me, he is really knowledgeable, I didn't know what this sentence meant at first, the company commander explained it to me but I didn't remember it at the time, and then when I was recuperating from my injury, I asked someone to check what it meant, and then memorized it many times before I remembered it, so it's not that I'm erudite, it's just that this sentence is very important to me." ”
"Why is it important?"
Xiang Weiguo looked at Gao Yuan, and said in a low voice: "Because the company commander is dead, I am alive." ”
Xiang Weiguo, who was caught in the memory, looked a little sad.
After a long time, Xiang Weiguo finally looked at Gao Yuan and said softly: "You are not the same as the young people I have seen. ”
"What's the difference?"
"You're not that energetic, you think too much, you don't look like a young person, it's not a disadvantage or an advantage, I'm just saying that you're not like other young people."
"I'm probably a little nervous." After smiling self-deprecatingly, Gao Yuan said with an embarrassed face: "I have indeed been different from other children since I was a child, I am very contradictory, I like to go against others, when others are optimistic, I am pessimistic, when others are pessimistic, I belong to the optimist again." ”
Xiang Weiguo said very seriously: "When everyone thinks it's okay, you can think it's risky, but when others fall into hysterical despair because the danger is really coming, you can still remain optimistic, it's just because you have never been influenced by others, and people like you are naturally suitable to be a staff officer." ”
"Staff officer? I thought you would say a general, or a soldier. ”
Xiang Weiguo laughed and said: "It's not so easy to be a general, your traits are very valuable, but if you can become a general with this trait, then it's too easy to be a general, as for soldiers, soldiers only need to obey orders, don't think about anything else, as for whether the character is pessimistic or optimistic, it doesn't matter ......"
Gao Yuan laughed a few times with Xiang Weiguo, and then said lightly to Weiguo: "It's very hard to practice with me, I don't like to give up halfway, if I start teaching you seriously, you don't want to pick and choose halfway, so have you thought about it?" ”
"Come to think of it, I don't like to give up halfway."
"Young people have ambition!"
Xiang Weiguo first gave Gao Yuan a thumbs up, and then patted Gao Yuan's shoulder with a friendly face, but for some reason, when he was patted on the shoulder by Xiang Weiguo, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Touch your bottom first, say, what will you do?"
Gao Yuan thought for a long time, and then he said helplessly: "I can make knives, and I have also practiced martial arts, but I joined the martial arts club when I was in college, well, if it is just skills, and according to your requirements and standards, I don't know anything......"
"It's true that you don't know anything, let alone know martial arts, just now you made a move and I found that you don't know how to fight people at all, I'm very curious, since you're a survivalist, why do you prepare a lot of things, but you don't know how to train your body to be stronger, and train yourself more?"
Gao Yuan said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have that condition, of course I'm lazy, but I want to go to school, it's impossible to put down my studies and concentrate on practicing martial arts skills, I want to work and make money after graduation, and I can't even eat, how can I have the time and energy to practice anything, I'm tired to death every day, at most it's running, compared to my colleagues, I'm already very self-disciplined." ”
Xiang Weiguo nodded, looked into the distance, then pointed to a tree in the distance, and said, "Run over as fast as you can, touch that tree and come back." ”
Takato knew it was a test, but he didn't expect it to start so soon.
"Uh, Uncle Xiang, I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, I am good at ......"
"Never mind what you're good at, finish what I said first! Run as fast as you can, run! ”
Gao Yuan was stunned again for a moment, then he put down what he was holding and ran towards the tree pointed to Wei Guo as fast as he could.
Xiang Weiguo said that he was running at the fastest speed, so Gao Yuan ran at the fastest speed he could achieve in a short sprint, but he felt that his legs began to weaken halfway through the run, and his speed naturally slowed down a lot.
When he touched the tree and ran back to Wei Guo, Gao Yuan was already out of breath.
Xiang Weiguo was noncommittal, just looked at Gao Yuan and said with a kind and kind face: "Your performance is very poor, but now you can say what you are good at." ”
Gao Yuan breathed a few sighs of relief and said, "Is it worth throwing stones?" ”
"Throwing stones?" Xiang Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned and said, "You throw one for me first." ”
"You come this way."
took Xiang Weiguo to the place where he practiced throwing stones every day, Gao Yuan picked up a stone and threw it at the target.
The target fell every time, and when Gao Yuan threw the fifth stone, Xiang Weiguo finally stopped.
"Stop."
Xiang Weiguo was like seeing an alien, looking Gao Yuan up and down.
"How? Well, why are you looking at me like that? ”
Xiang Weiguo shook his head and said, "It's nothing, your hand is very good, it's a skill, how long have you been practicing?" ”
"After nearly two months, after hiding in the mountains, I wanted to hit pheasants with rocks, so I started practicing."
Xiang Weiguo looked surprised and said, "Two months? ”
"It's less than two months, but it's pretty much the same."
Xiang Weiguo took a deep breath, then he nodded first, thought for a while, and then nodded again before saying, "Well, it's good, keep practicing, this one has to continue to practice, but what ......about it?"
Xiang Weiguo looked at the ground a few times, then he picked up a piece from a pile of stones picked up by Gao Yuan, threw it away, picked up a slightly smaller stone and weighed it a few times, put it in Gao Yuan's hand, and said, "In the future, you will practice with this one, and practice with stones of similar size and weight." ”
Gao Yuan took the stone and said curiously: "Why, is there a difference?" ”
Xiang Weiguo smiled and said: "This stone weighs the same as 82 grenades, so you can practice with this." ”
"Is it just a grenade? Although there are no grenades...... But it's okay, Uncle Xiang, if I count this as a bomb, how is the level? ”
Xiang Weiguo smiled: "It's average, it's average, it's good in recruits, it's nothing in veterans, continue to practice, practice well." ”
