Chapter 73: Bridging the Rift
Rain cats and dogs.
The raindrops fell on the ground and splashed again, forming a mist about a foot high on the ground.
The trees on the mountains were washed by the rain, and a mist was rising, and the mountains were shrouded in mist.
"One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-three-four......"
In the valley, the neat and majestic sound resounded through the rain curtain and spread out to the valley.
On the 400-meter track of the military training ground, a team of about 80 people was marching rapidly. The ranks are neat and morale is high.
The rain fell on everyone's body without shelter, and everyone's hair was tightly clinging to their scalps, and their clothes were also tightly stained, and if you looked closely, everyone had hot air steaming up.
Tied for the front of the line were Zhang Song and Yu Xinzhi, followed by Li Shan, Chen Jia, Shen You and Liu Wuzi.
Since the news spread that Zhang Song had pardoned Liu Wuzi and others, most of the people who fled from Qingsong Valley have returned, and most of the young and middle-aged people in the three villages outside the valley have also returned to their villages one after another. When these people returned, they were not held accountable, and they were relieved.
Perhaps out of guilt, the three villages outside the valley took the initiative to send young and middle-aged laborers to Qingsong Valley every day to help build the iron-smelting field. Labor in the ironworks was secured, so Zhang Song was able to draw soldiers from Qingsong Valley for military training.
"Stand-up!"
Fifteen laps, six kilometers down, everyone is tired enough, and the most important thing is that this evil old society not only has little meat to eat, even the meal is only two meals a day.
It was already the end of the afternoon, that is, around three o'clock in Zhang Song's previous life, Zhang Song felt that his stomach was empty, there was nothing at all, and the same was true for others.
Through the rain curtain, it was obvious that everyone in the team was breathing heavily, their chests were rising and falling greatly, and fatigue had been stationed on everyone's faces, even Chen Jia and Shen You, who had the best physical strength, were no exception, and those with slightly worse physique even turned pale.
However, even so, not a single member of the team spoke, and no one cried out of distress and tiredness, and everyone tried to straighten their chests and keep their eyes fixed on the front.
Thinking about a few days ago, the team was still lazy, a queue was not formed, when the official was talking, there was still a fight below, and it only took a few days to train like this, Zhang Song was already very satisfied.
"Take a break!"
"Stand-up!"
"Turn right!"
"Turn back!"
……
"Disband! Rest in place! ”
Zhang Song and Yu Xinzhi walked side by side towards a stone, and Li Shan followed behind the two. Everyone else was looking for a place to rest, and some of them walked under the big tree to take shelter from the rain.
"Big brother, you go and tell them that you can't hide under a big tree, it's thundering now, and hiding under a big tree is easy to be struck by lightning." Zhang Song said to Li Shan.
Li Shan answered, ran over, and called everyone out.
"Big brother, Liu Wuzi, their condition is not bad." Zhang Song smiled at the way of the heart.
"Humph!"
Yu Xinzhi's face became ugly, obviously angry with Liu Wuzi and them.
Qingsong Valley re-accepted Liu Wuzi and others according to Zhang Song's proposal, and as time passed, the rest of Qingsong Valley was gradually accepting Liu Wuzi and others. Only Yu Xinzhi still has a hatred that cannot be eliminated, and he has no good face when he sees Liu Wuzi and others.
Zhang Song smiled and did not continue the topic, after all, it is difficult to untie the knot with words alone.
Not far away, Liu Wuzi led a group of people to this side, noisy and arguing.
Yu Xinzhi stood up, picked up a spear casually, his face became very stern, and his eyes stared sharply at the comer.
Over there, Li Shan, Shen You, and Chen Jia also noticed the movements of Liu Wuzi and the others, and when they got up, they looked relaxed but walked quickly towards Zhang Song.
Zhang Song patted Yu Xinzhi's shoulder, signaling him not to be too nervous, and then stood in front of Yu Xinzhi.
"Liu Wuzi, do you have something?" Zhang Song asked loudly.
Liu Wuzi smiled, his face was a little embarrassed, and said, "Lord, everyone is very interested in your 400-meter obstacle course, and they want to give it a try, I wonder if it's okay?" ”
The 400-meter obstacle course had been renovated a few days ago, and it was hazy in the heavy rain.
Zhang Song glanced at Yu Xinzhi, Yu Xinzhi sat back on the boulder, and the spear was put back in its place, and his face softened.
"Want to try? Yes. Let's go, let's go together. ”
Zhang Song pulled up in his heart, surrounded by many soldiers, and walked to the starting point of the 400-meter obstacle course.
"Whoever wants to give it a try, stand up."
"I'll come first!" Liu Wuzi replied loudly.
"I'll try it too, I heard it last time, I was very envious, I'll give it a try today to see if it's as amazing as Changshang said." Chen Jia also stood up.
"Is there anyone else?" Zhang Song muttered loudly.
The other soldiers grinned, you look at me, I look at you, you push me, I push you, but no one stood up.
"It's just the two of you, or you might as well give it a try. Do you think it's good? Zhang Song encouraged.
"Good!"
Everyone shouted in unison, excited, and the training ground was very lively for a while.
Chen Jia and Liu Wuzi glanced at each other, although they didn't speak, the two of them invariably stood on the starting line.
"Ready!"
As Zhang Song shouted, the surrounding crowd quickly quieted down, and only the sound of raindrops falling sounded. Everyone's eyes widened, staring closely at the two people standing on the starting line, and their mood became nervous.
"Ready!"
Chen Jia and Liu Wuzi stared at the static qi, bent over, and leaned forward with their upper bodies, like two arrows in the string.
"Run!" Zhang Song shouted, and at the same time slashed down with his palm.
Chen Jia and Liu Wuzi were like arrows from the string, rushing forward almost at the same time.
"Come on! Come on! ”
Listening to everyone shouting this familiar slogan to cheer for Chen Jia and Liu Wuzi, Zhang Song smiled proudly, he only shouted this slogan once, but now the people in Qingsong Valley must shout this slogan whenever they cheer for others, and the simple and clear slogan is always very vigorous.
Because Chen Jia and Liu Wuzi both ran the 400-meter hurdle for the first time, they were not familiar with it, and the two made mistakes many times. Liu Wuzi hadn't climbed the high wall two times before, and after he climbed the high wall, Chen Jia had already thrown him off a lot.
Just when everyone was applauding Chen Jia, when he climbed over the low pile net, because of the incorrect posture, Chen Jia was constantly caught by the net and couldn't move forward, he kept struggling, and the more he struggled, the tighter he hung.
Liu Wuzi had a good grasp of the crawling forward, and soon caught up with Chen Jia, and finally the two crossed the finish line almost at the same time. The onlookers all cheered loudly, and the applause lasted for a long time.
After crossing the finish line, both men were lying on the ground, refusing to move. After a while, Liu Wuzi was the first to stand up, and he stretched out his right hand towards Chen Jia. Chen Jia hesitated, grabbed Liu Wuzi's right hand, and stood up.
"Good! The competition was very exciting, and everyone applauded Chen Jia and Liu Wuzi! Zhang Song said loudly, and at the same time took the lead in applauding.
There was another round of thunderous applause.
"Who else, who else is going to compete? You can also challenge Chen Jia and Liu Wuzi, who are they? ”
Zhang Song looked around and kept encouraging everyone to participate enthusiastically.
"I'm coming!" The answer to the heart.
"Good! Yu Xinzhi has signed up, who is willing to challenge Yu Xinzhi? ”
"No need, just let Liu Wuzi compete with me."
As soon as Yu Xinzhi's words fell, the atmosphere at the scene became awkward, and many people had a look of surprise on their faces.
"Yu Xinzhi challenged you, Liu Wuzi, do you dare to fight?" Zhang Song deliberately pretended not to be aware of the embarrassment of the atmosphere, and immediately asked Liu Wuzi's opinion.
Liu Wuzi hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.
"Yu Xinzhi is also a human, you are still afraid that he will not succeed, Liu Wuzi, hurry up and fight! I'm sticking with you! Zhang Song encouraged Liu Wuzi.
"Good! I'm up for it! Liu Wuzi went out and shouted loudly.
"I'm not bullying you either, you already ran once just now, this time you run first, and when you run a third of the way, I'll start again." Yu Xinzhi looked at Liu Wuzi coldly.
"Well, that's fair play. Let's applaud the spirit of fairness in our hearts! Zhang Song shouted loudly.
Driven by Li Shan and Shen You, everyone applauded warmly for Yu Xinzhi.
Yu Xinzhi and Liu Wuzi stood on the starting line at the same time, and with an order, Liu Wuzi quickly ran forward.
"Come on! Come on! ”
Zhang Song led everyone to cheer for Liu Wuzi, at first the cheering voice was not loud, but slowly everyone joined, and the shouts became louder and louder.
When Chen Jia ran a third of the way, Yu Xinzhi began to rush forward, and the speed was much faster than the first time Chen Jia and Liu Wuzi ran.
"Whew!"
Everyone exclaimed, and for a while, the sound of "come on" was divided into two streams, one was cheering for Yu Xinzhi, and the other was cheering for Liu Wuzi.
Yu Xinzhi was getting closer and closer to Liu Wuzi, and seeing that he was still a few meters away to catch up, everyone couldn't help but exclaim again.
Hearing the exclamation, Liu Wuzi glanced back, and after seeing Yu Xinzhi's speed, Liu Wuzi was a little flustered, and when crossing the single-plank bridge, he accidentally stepped on the air and fell.
Only this time, Yu Xinzhi caught up with Liu Wuzi, and when Liu Wuzi got up, Yu Xinzhi had already surpassed him.
Liu Wuzi was not to be outdone, and chased forward desperately. However, even so, the distance between Liu Wuzi and Yu Xinzhi is still getting bigger and bigger.
When he ran to the high wall, an accident happened, and Yu Xinzhi climbed twice without climbing over. When Yu Xinzhi climbed up for the third time, Liu Wuzi had already caught up. I saw Liu Wuzi suddenly speed up and rush over, and then swung his right fist towards Yu Xinzhi's head, and shouted at the same time.
Yu Xinzhi's head was slightly off, and Liu Wuzi's fist hit the high wall.
Yu Xinzhi was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Liu Wuzi, you are looking for death!" ”
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, and forgot to cheer for a while, and even stopped applauding.
Zhang Song was shocked, and hurriedly ran towards Yu Xinzhi and Liu Wuzi, followed by Li Shan, Shen You and Chen Jia.
When Zhang Song ran to the two of them, Yu Xinzhi had already held Liu Wuzi's right hand, and at the same time turned his head and shouted loudly at Zhang Song: "Zhang Song, come quickly!" Liu Wuzi was bitten by a poisonous snake! ”
