Chapter 62: Standing in a Military Stance
The sea and the sky are the same.
A red sun is quietly hanging a foot above the sea, a bright white sand stretching into the distance, dividing the sea and the land into two worlds.
The early winter sun seems to have lost its heat, and it can't drive away the chill caused by the sea breeze on the body.
The earth has long been withered, and on the few trees that have fallen sparsely, the bare branches stretch silently to the sky, and the occasional late fallen leaves whirl in the sea breeze and fly into the distance; On the meadows, a little farther from the shore, the withered grass shivered in the sea breeze, and the occasional hare that went out to forage looked around vigilantly, and at the slightest movement it quickly bounced and disappeared in the withered grass.
The pillar stood straight on the sand, like his seven brothers and the men he had recruited, his heels together, his hands hanging naturally on the outside of his thighs.
Although he knew that he didn't have anything on him, the pillar still felt itchy all over his body, like a small insect crawling. He wanted to stretch out his hand and scratch it, but he didn't dare to do it, because Childe was standing in front of them, and he looked so strange that it had been almost a quarter of an hour.
The pillar that had been tired last night slept soundly, so much so that he was quite annoyed when he was woken up early this morning—as soon as it was dawn, Childe rushed in with a military stick and kicked them all awake one by one.
However, his anger disappeared without a trace after he was completely sober, not to mention that the food, clothing, and money were all given by Childe, just that Childe was also busy with them until dark last night, but he got up earlier than them, which was enough to convince him - Childe can do it for such a delicate person, why can't he do it himself?
After a hurried breakfast, Childe took them to the beach and told them to stand in his posture and not move until Childe spoke.
This made the pillar extremely confused, what does this mean?
It was clearly said that he would let his brothers be the guards and let the guys drive the boat; What is it when the guards don't practice stone locks and guns and sticks, and when the guys don't go to the boat, they stand here stupidly like a log one by one?
His doubts were quickly asked by someone to help him, but he got this answer from Childe, "Whether you are an escort or a boat, who should you listen to?" Listen to me, naturally! …… Otherwise, the sailor will let you raise the sails and you won't go, and the guards will let you block the enemy and you will hide, do you say okay? ”
Zhu Zi remembers that he was the loudest at the time to answer no—of course not! Childe is so generous, and he spends so much money to hire us, who will we listen to if we don't listen to him?
Everyone thinks basically the same as him, so they can't answer sparsely.
But Childe made a straight face, saying that the voice was too small for him to hear, and asked them to answer again, and they shouted several times with their voices in their voices, earning a red face and a thick neck, and finally satisfied Childe.
What Childe said next, but the pillar didn't quite understand, "Then how can we make you obedient?" Only practice! …… Do what I say! I said that to the east cannot be to the west! I said you can't sit while standing! I said that chasing dogs can't chase chickens! …… If someone doesn't do it, the ugly thing will be said in the head, and this military stick in my hand is not an ornament! …… If someone really can't bear this hardship, it's easy to do, leave! ”
If you don't understand, you don't understand, his last sentence made Zhuzi's heart sink, it was so easy to get such a good job, he didn't want to lose it easily.
Bitter? What's the pain of standing like this? Can it be more bitter than carrying that mountain of grain and salt on your shoulder? Joke!
It is estimated that most people have the same idea as him, so everyone nodded yes, and this strange drill officially began.
Originally, Zhuzi thought that standing like this was a fart, but he didn't stand for long, he was uncomfortable, either itching here or hurting there, so uncomfortable that he just wanted to reach out and scratch it, but he was afraid that Gongzi's words of leaving were suppressed.
He can grit his teeth and hold on, but others don't have the strength, just after standing, one of his brothers didn't hold back, reached out and scratched his neck, but he didn't expect to see Si Swenwen's son do what he said, kicked the guy to the ground, crackled and beat his ass.
Thinking of this scene, Zhu Zi couldn't help but want to shrink his neck - how does Childe look like a scholar?
"Uncomfortable, isn't it? …… It's good to know that it's uncomfortable, you can't even stand simply, and Lao Tzu dares to expect you to do something even more difficult? …… Listen, from now on, there will be more people stirring, the first time they will hit the military sticks, and the second time they will ...... I don't care about you! ”
After beating people, Childe shouted this kick-out made the pillar feel very hideous, and what surprised him even more was that Childe was actually like these rough people!
However, Childe's cruel words shocked everyone very much, and since then, only three or five people have been beaten, but none of them have gotten out.
"Alright, I'll stop here this time." Zhu Zi was thinking about it, Chu Fan's words made him feel like he had been pardoned, and he jumped on the spot and shook his hands.
Chu Fan looked at the group of guys in front of him who sighed and shook their hands and feet, and secretly breathed a sigh of air, the most difficult thing about this military posture is the first time, the first time they can get through, these people can take the first step to become qualified soldiers.
"Listen!" Chu Fan didn't want to give them too much time to breathe, so he gently slapped the military stick in his hand and said, "Lao Tzu only gives you a stick of incense to rest...... Next time, it's more than that! …… The rules remain the same, the first time you smoke, the second time you get out, weigh it yourself! ”
After finishing speaking, Chu Fan paid attention to the expressions of everyone, and sure enough, most people, including Zhuzi, had a bitter face, shook their heads and sighed, and some of their lips were still closed, not knowing what they were talking about.
Only two of them looked indifferent and disappreciated, and it could be seen that they were quite familiar with the drills of the army. One was a thin man of about thirty years, with no beard under his chin, only a few beards sparsely scattered on his lips, and a pair of eyes that kept turning around under a narrow single eyelid, as if he had not stopped; The other is a tall and strong man, with a thick beard, dotted with a few white whiskers, looking very old, but Chu Fan also knows that most of the people in this era are old, far older than their actual age.
Seeing that the two of them were so calm, Chu Fan couldn't help but be a little curious, and walked over to ask, it turned out that this thin man was named Ling Ming, and the strong man was called Zhao Hai.
Chu Fan just wanted to ask the background of the two in detail, and in the corner of his eye, a figure seemed to flash on the mountain beam in the distance, which made Chu Fan stunned.
Could it be that someone is watching them?
