Chapter 14 The mountain road is like silk

"By the way, if that kid Wan Likai can support the Fifth Special Force Elite Training School for six months without being expelled, you will also transfer him to our mobile unit!"

Thinking back to the fighting training ground, the little guy who was knocked down by himself again and again, got up again and again, was so strong that even he was a little surprised, and his head was so slippery that he couldn't cry or laugh, and he could actually come up with the little guy who dressed up as a "one-eyed dragon" and mixed into the fifth special unit, the corners of Zhan Xia Ge's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a faint smile, "Do you think that he is very similar to me in some aspects?" ”

Ling Yanshan looked at Zhan Xia Ge, she really couldn't associate the mature and steady man in front of her, with an impeccable leadership temperament all over her body, with that slippery boy, and she couldn't find anything in common between these two extreme individuals.

……

"Fill in this answer sheet first, if you don't pass, I will kick you out of the army immediately!"

Ling Yanshan stretched out her hand and threw a test question in front of Wan Likai, Wan Likai took the test paper and looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but let out a long sullen breath, fortunately he understood most of them, it was not difficult.

But when Wan Likai finally saw the main title on the test paper, Wan Likai was like a cat that had been stepped on by someone's tail, or more like a gorilla who had been robbed of a banana in his hand, he was simply jumping three feet high, his two eyes were three points bigger than a pig's urine bubble, he was foaming at the stars in his mouth, glared at Ling Yanshan, and shouted: "I have graduated from high school in my third year, and you actually used the fifth grade test questions to test me?!" ”

Ling Yanshan put a stopwatch that had begun to count down on the desk, and said indifferently: "You only have forty-five minutes to answer the question, and you can see clearly that the last question on this Chinese test paper accounts for 30 points, and at least 400 words are required for primary school composition!" ”

Thirty-five minutes later, Wan Likai handed the exam paper in his hand to Ling Yanshan with a confident smile.

Ling Yanshan glanced at the stopwatch that was still counting down, and asked quietly, "Are you sure you want to hand in the paper in advance and not check it again?" ”

Wan Likai really doubted whether the woman in front of him had really been a primary school teacher, otherwise what she said would taste exactly the same as those elementary school teachers?

How can he say that he Wan Likai is also a high school student who graduated from high school, what else is there to check for this kind of fifth-grade elementary school student's language? Wan Likai waved his hand and said, "No! ”

Ling Yanshan nodded, took out a red pencil from the drawer, waved it in front of Wan Likai, and drew a big eight-pronged on the first exam question.

"How did you learn Chinese in elementary school?" Ling Yanshan gently tapped the shocking red eight-pronged with the pencil in her hand, she squinted at Wan Likai and asked: "This question is for you to write anti-meanings, and of course the anti-words are closed, but look at what you wrote for yourself, you actually wrote a 'door' word!" ”

Open...... Close!

Open...... Door!

Wan Likai looked embarrassed, and watched the two points slip away from his hand silently, "Hehe, this writing is easy, hehe, writing is easy." ”

"Oh?" Ling Yanshan raised her eyebrows lightly and said: "This question is to continue to write ancient poems, the first two sentences are the Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the night of the heavenly steps is as cold as water, how did you pick up the last two sentences?" ”

"Of course, it's to stop and sit and watch the maple forest at night, and the frost leaves are as red as February flowers!"

"Really?"

Ling Yanshan stretched out her voice, looking at the weird smile on the corner of her mouth, Wan Likai couldn't help but feel frightened, Ling Yanshan spread the exam paper in front of Wan Likai, and said, "Take a look for yourself!" ”

Wan Likai's eyes widened, looking at the black and white words he left on the exam paper, and the sweat on his forehead "brushed" and rolled down. Because he wrote on it the eternal quatrain of "Parking ** maple forest is late, and the frost leaves are red like February flowers".

"And this crossword question, why haven't I heard of the idiom 'there is a cup in the mouth'?"

Seeing that there was a bright red big eight fork painted on the test paper, Wan Likai couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The Internet and advertising slogans are really killing people!" ”

"And this question of judging right and wrong. When Xiao Ming was on a spring outing with his classmates, he saw that everyone was thirsty and tired, so he went out to find water by himself, but after he found the water source and drank it himself, he also brought a pot to his classmates, and asked him if he was right or wrong. As a result, you decided that such behavior was wrong, and the reason for the mistake turned out to be unrighteousness?! ”

"Yes," Wan Likai nodded: "If I were Xiao Ming, I would never drink water by myself first and then bring a pot to everyone when everyone is thirsty and tired, and I will bring the water back and everyone will enjoy it together." ”

Ling Yanshan asked rhetorically: "But have you ever thought that this is equivalent to sharing a pot of water with everyone after Xiao Ming comes back, and everyone will drink a little less because of this?" ”

"That's right, everyone will drink less water." Wan Likai replied seriously: "However, if you are a brother, you must share blessings and hardships, and this is the real good brother, isn't it?" ”

Ling Yanshan looked at Wan Likai's face that was a little serious, and was flashing with a kind of persistence, at this time, Ling Yanshan lost his mind for a moment. She suddenly understood a little why Zhan Xia Ge would say that he and Wan Likai were very similar in some areas. Both of them grew up in a circle with the same values, and the people who live in this circle, their parents have their own social circles, and the younger generation, when they get along with each other, also have some unwritten rules to measure a person's value and weight, that is, whether he is enough to be a trustworthy brother!

People use the phrase "fighting righteousness is mostly dog slaughtering" to describe the people who live at the bottom of the society and can be closely united. But he always uses the attitude of deceit and competing interests to look at those children of superior families. In fact, the children of these families know more clearly that such an evaluation of righteousness and the friendship they have cultivated with their hearts are the most important treasures in their future life journey.

After Ling Yanshan thought about it for a while, in Wan Likai's unexpected gaze, she neatly typed a checkmark representing the correct one behind this question. Looking at Wan Likai's crooked, earthworm-crawling font, using a large number of popular love poems on campus, which are actually bullshit, tampering with the advertising words of traditional Chinese culture, and mixing with various "jokes" circulating on the Internet, the compiled composition, looking at the eternal quatrain such as "parking ** maple forest night, frost leaves red like February flowers" on the exam paper, Ling Yanshan thought for five minutes, and finally she finally slowly wrote down two Arabic numerals like 15 on this essay question.

Fifteen points!

Wan Likai couldn't help but let out a long breath of air, and at this time, on Wan Likai's face, the two expressions of happiness and shame were constantly exchanged. His face had already turned purple sauce. I believe that any student who graduated from high school will not look much better when he fills in the Chinese question of the fifth grade of primary school and only scores 61 points, right?

"Congratulations on successfully passing the Chinese exam in the fifth grade of primary school, I think, should you shout 600,000 now?"

Facing Ling Yanshan's smiling gaze, Wan Likai really had the urge to find a crack in the ground and get in, but Ling Yanshan's words behind him really startled him, "Hand over your student ID, give you fifteen minutes to pack your bags, and then come with me!" ”

Wan Likai's eyes widened, and at this time he even stammered, "But, but, but I've already scored six or sixty-one points!" ”

"So you have passed my assessment, and you can enjoy the special training I have formulated for you!" Ling Yanshan smiled, "You, like Zhan Xia Ge, both joined the army at the age of eighteen, and if a specially recruited student like you undergoes fifteen years of training and study step by step, it can only delay you." The Song of Warriors was first trained by Zhu Jianjun's instructor for a year before he began to enter the training camps of the earth, snowfields, jungles, deserts, etc., to receive terrain adaptation training. I see that you already have a good military foundation and a flexible mind, so let's just start with mountain training in one step! ”

Get trained faster than the Song of War!

There is nothing more satisfying than this kind of decision. Wan Likai's eyes flashed with absolute excitement, he nodded desperately, Ling Yanshan straightened his face slightly, and said, "Don't go yet", Wan Likai cheered and ran out of Ling Yanshan's office. Ten minutes later, Wan Likai, who was carrying a backpack in his hand, appeared in front of Ling Yanshan.

Six or seven hours later, the military jeep stopped at the foot of a big mountain, and Ling Yanshan Wan Likai ordered: "Get out of the car, we have to walk up on our own legs on the road behind." ”

Wan Likai raised his head and looked at the endless mountains in front of him, if he guessed correctly, in this deep mountain, there would be a well-equipped secret military training base. At this time, the trees at the foot of the mountain seemed to be beckoning to him cordially: "Come on, come on, come to the mountain training camp, get trained, and become a better soldier than the battle song!" ”

What made Wan Likai feel unbelievable was that Ling Yanshan actually bought a thick stack of homework books in the store at the foot of the mountain, covering all the pencils, erasers, rulers and other stationery in the store. After putting all these things into the military backpack on Wan Likai's body, Ling Yanshan easily stuffed a set of beautifully packaged brand-name cosmetics into the backpack.

In the mountain training camp of the Fifth Special Force, there is a shortage of homework books, pencils, erasers, and such things? When Wan Likai saw that Ling Yanshan had bought another pack of high-quality sanitary napkins for women, and was also going to put them in his backpack together, the smart Wan Likai had already faintly felt that this mountain training camp might not be what he imagined.

Maybe...... In the mountain training camp, the instructor will teach them how to make some simple but practical survival equipment, and even weapons and equipment, from various daily necessities, including sanitary napkins.

As for those homework books and pencils, erasers, knives and the like, snipers don't have to learn to draw topographic maps, maybe this is the rule of mountain training camps, every student has to carry all kinds of consumables they need to use into the training camp, right?

Thinking of this, Wan Likai's heart suddenly surged with an indescribable heat, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the remaining more than fifty homework books in the glass cabinet of the store, and said, "Give me all these out!" ”

Ling Yanshan glanced at Wan Likai, who was suddenly enthusiastic, with a strange gaze, and Wan Likai slapped his chest properly, "Don't worry, I can carry this weight!" ”

Ling Yanshan nodded noncommittally, she checked the things she wanted to buy again, and hung a bag of heavy things on Wan Likai's backpack, and then took the lead towards the mountains not far from them, Wan Likai was overjoyed, carrying a backpack of fifty or sixty kilograms, and he could follow Ling Yanshan with a jump, looking at his appearance, he really looked like a fifth-grade elementary school student who had just finished the exam and came to enjoy the fun of spring outing.

The two of them walked slowly up the dirt road that had been formed for many years. Ling Yanshan must admit that Wan Likai does have a capital to be proud of, he carried hundreds of pounds of weight, followed her on the hillside of more than 35 degrees, and walked for several hours in a row, and he actually supported it. Without long hours of hard training, without the strongest will and the extreme desire to win, Wan Likai would never have been able to do this.

Squinting at Wan Likai, who was following behind him, beads of sweat were already dripping from his forehead, and in the undulating chest that could not stop heavily, he let out a sharp wheezing, Ling Yanshan suddenly thought of a question: What was the battle hero song like when Wan Likai was his age?

Ling Yanshan suddenly stopped, "Rest!" ”

With Ling Yanshan's order, Wan Likai, who was already staggering in his steps, fell to the ground, and fifteen minutes later, Ling Yanshan stood up again and said indifferently: "Let's go." ”

There was the sound of struggling behind him, and after a minute, Wan Likai, who was overused in physical strength, stood up again, and the two of them continued to silently move forward towards the mountain as they had done at the beginning.

As Wan Likai's physical exhaustion became more and more serious, Ling Yanshan ordered more and more rests, but every time fifteen minutes came, she would always stand up on time.

Ling Yanshan watched with indifferent eyes as Wan Likai struggled with his backpack, and watched Wan Likai fall to the ground again and again because he couldn't support his body. Finally, she said in a deep voice: "I suggest you give up, now that you have only walked half the way, put down your backpack and go down the mountain by yourself." Brother Zhan Xia Ge actually said that you are very similar to him in some places, to be honest, I really can't see that a child like you, who relies on a good family environment and the pampering of his parents, and does whatever he wants, how can he be so appreciated by Brother Zhan Xia Ge! ”

Wan Likai raised his head and looked at the woman who was condescending and quietly looking at him, although he had not been in the elite training school of the Fifth Special Force for a long time, he also clearly understood what it meant to him to give up in the training course. The fifth special unit will only want the strongest men who can work miracles in the impossible, not cowards who run away from challenges!

Looking at Wan Likai, whose eyes flashed with stubbornness and unyielding light, Ling Yanshan's lips moved, but she didn't say anything after all, she looked at the fiery red sunset that was about to sink into the mountains in the distance, and in the end she was still alone, walking away with an unchanged and almost mechanical pace.

Looking at Ling Yanshan's back and disappearing behind another hillside, a gust of mountain wind blew, and Wan Likai, who was wet with sweat all over his body, shivered involuntarily. Lying quietly on the ground, listening to the rustle of the mountain wind passing through the treetops, listening to the unknown insects, hiding in the depths of the grass, making a low sound, looking up at the fiery red sun, slowly sinking into the mountains, Wan Likai suddenly found that he was surrounded by loneliness and darkness.

Although Wan Likai had crossed the primeval forests on the border of Yunnan several times, he was well prepared and strong each time, and he had never spent the night alone in the mountains. Looking at the darkness all around, in this strange and unknown world, he had no companions, he was seriously overdrawn, his backpack was stuffed with homework books and stationery, but he didn't even have a military kettle, let alone a little food, necessary equipment and self-defense weapons. Wan Likai, who suddenly understood his situation, couldn't help but shudder again.

Looking at the heavy military backpack that fell to the ground, Wan Likai couldn't help but show a wry smile, a normal person, with empty hands and abundant physical strength, walking on a slope of more than thirty-five degrees, will feel nervous and strained, not to mention that he has to carry a military backpack of more than 100 catties under the condition of absolute physical exhaustion, and get up again?

Maybe you should throw away this worthless backpack now and catch up with Ling Yanshan, who is not walking fast?

But what can you do if you catch up? To continue to look at her undisguised disdainful smile and make her justifiably kick herself out of the Fifth Special Unit?

No way!

"Fuck, I'm not doing it!"

This idea turned repeatedly in Wan Likai's heart, and he even really shouted it out, but he just didn't throw away his backpack and walked out of this mountain alone. said that he didn't learn real hard kung fu, and there was no way to find that damn one dime three to take revenge, and he was unwilling, saying that he met his most respected Zhan Xia Ge, and he really wanted to worship Zhan Xia Ge as a teacher, saying that he was unwilling to admit defeat in front of a woman, and he couldn't bear to be looked down upon by a woman, in short, Wan Likai just couldn't let himself give up.

In this case, the last stupid way is to lie here honestly until the strength is restored, and then continue to move forward. Of course, after his physical strength has recovered a little, it is best to find some more food and fresh water to make up for the excessive loss of water in his body, and comfort his stomach that has been rumbling for a long time.

Wan Likai lay quietly on the ground still with the residual warmth of the sun, biting a slightly sweet straw stick in his mouth, waiting for his physical strength to recover. Time passed slowly little by little, and I don't know how long it took, but on the road that Wan Likai once passed, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

Wan Likai looked at the starry sky above his head in surprise, he really didn't bother to raise his wrist and look at the time displayed on his watch, but now it is at least more than nine o'clock, in such a dark and remote mountain road, there are still people passing by?

Wan Likai was lying in the middle of the mountain road, the sound of the other party's conversation was getting closer and closer, and Wan Likai finally saw that two peasants wearing straw hats and carrying bamboo poles on their backs walked up the mountain road with laughter.

These two peasants, who may be living in this deep mountain, suddenly saw Wan Likai, who was lying in the middle of the road with the most comfortable movements, his eyes were in the moonlight, and he was looking directly at them, these two farmers were startled, and one of them subconsciously shouted: "There are ghosts!" ”

"Don't be afraid," Wan Likai didn't even have the strength to reach out and rub his nose at this time, he smiled bitterly: "There is still a breath." ”

The two frightened mountain men looked at Wan Likai cautiously, and Wan Likai looked back at them helplessly.

After a long time, a man from the mountains asked, "Big brother, why do you sleep here at night, and you are not afraid of catching a cold?" I'm telling you, there's a snake in this mountain! ”

Wan Likai rolled his eyes again, if he had a choice, who would sleep stupidly in the mountains without any cover? The devil knows if there is a big bad wolf in this mountain!

Another slightly older mountain man saw Wan Likai's predicament, he pointed to Wan Likai's military backpack under his head, and asked, "Are you unable to carry it?" ”

Wan Li Kai nodded slightly, and answered the question.

The two mountain men, I don't know why, suddenly ran to the side and began to whisper, looking at their absolutely abnormal behavior, Wan Likai's heart suddenly had an irrepressible panic,, these two guys don't want to see money, take advantage of his illness to kill him, take the opportunity to make money and kill him, right?!

After a few minutes, the two mountain men may have discussed the result, and they sent the slightly older mountain man as a representative, and the slightly older mountain man walked up to Wan Likai, pointed to Wan Likai's military backpack, and asked, "Isn't it very heavy?" ”

"Hmm!" Wan Likai replied weakly, and at the same time, the alarm bell sounded in his heart, but now he didn't have any strength in his body, so he could really only be slaughtered by others. Wan Likai quickly showed that he was by no means the fat sheep in the minds of these two guys, he patted the military backpack under his head, made a "pounce, pounce" sound, and said: "This is full of homework books and all kinds of stationery, of course it's heavy!" ”

The older mountain man asked again: "Big brother, seeing that you are not a local, where are you going?" ”

This question really stopped Wan Likai, and Ling Yanshan didn't tell him where the final destination was. The younger man in the mountains interjected at this time: "Big brother, you see that he brought so many homework books, he must have sent them to the school in the small mountain village." ”

Facing two pairs of inquiring eyes, in this case, Wan Likai didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, of course, he nodded first.

The slightly older man in the mountains stretched out his two hands, stroked at Wanli Kaibi, and said, "Twenty yuan!" ”

Wan Likai's eyes couldn't help but widen, isn't it, could it be that in this big mountain, these mountain men are already so simple that they rob, and they all have a fixed number, and they even have a discussion with the victims?

Seeing that Wan Likai was still stunned, the slightly older mountain man gritted his teeth and said, "Fifteen yuan, it can't be less!" There are still nearly 30 miles to go from here to Xiaowang Village, and your backpack looks like it's not light. ”

The younger man in the mountains was obviously a man in a hurry, he simply untied the rope on his flat shoulder, and was ready to help Wan Likai tie his backpack on, "What else is there to think about, spend fifteen yuan, our two brothers will carry thirty miles for you, and you won't lose anything, right?" Besides, you see it's already dark, and it's not so easy to spend the night in the mountains. ”

Wan Likai tilted his head, and the thought of at least thirty miles of mountain road made Wan Likai's teeth sore.

Wan Likai touched his pocket, he had only been in the Fifth Special Unit for a short time, although he usually had no chance to go out to spend at all, but out of habit, he still carried money with him. He has fifteen yuan, and Wan Likai must admit that he hired two of these mountain men to help him pick up a backpack weighing more than 50 kilograms and walk more than 30 miles in the mountains for fifteen yuan, and the price is really fair.

Wan Likai took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket, and the eyes of the two mountain men fell on Wan Likai's hands together, I don't know why, at this time, Wan Likai faced these two mountain men, and suddenly thought of the wolf who saw food in hunger and a little green light in his eyes.

"I don't want you to help me pick out this backpack," Wan Likai flicked the banknote in his hand vigorously, making a "pop" sound, which attracted the Adam's apple of the two mountain men to surge up and down. Wan Likai looked at the long cloth bags that the two mountain men put on their shoulders and said, "Keep all the food on your body, and the hundred yuan will be yours." ”

For 100 yuan, I bought two cornmeal, flour and wild vegetables mixed together, steamed vegetable dumplings, and a kettle made of bamboo tubes. Lifting the thick bamboo tube, Wan Likai shook it slightly, and there was a rustling sound inside, and there was a small half tube of water inside, Wan Likai couldn't help but show a satisfied smile. And the two mountain men, probably afraid that Wan Likai would regret it, ran away as if they were running away.

Wan Likai lay on the uneven mountain road, crumpling the vegetable dumplings that he would never normally touch, and sending them into his mouth piece by piece. To tell the truth, the food is really rough, Wan Likai, who has never suffered hardship, rolled his eyes while eating, but Wan Likai ate very devotedly and seriously.

Without this kind of long-term physical and high-intensity expenditure, when you reach the final limit, you have to replenish food, and you can get up again to experience it, and you can't really understand that food is a thing, in some cases, represents life!

Ling Yanshan sat quietly on the hillside, she didn't know how long she had been sitting here, the dew of the early morning had wet her shoulders, but Ling Yanshan didn't seem to be aware of it. She just stared at the small mountain village at the foot of the mountain. In this land that is too poor, a faint wisp of cooking smoke is rising above the only courtyard house made of green bricks in the whole village.

Jager should be preparing breakfast for herself and a dozen students right now, right?

Breakfast is simple, just soy milk and Yajieer's own baked cakes, and hors d'oeuvres made with shredded potatoes and wild vegetables. But for this small mountain village, this is already a delicacy. It is no wonder that as soon as this precedent was set, more and more students ran to school early in the morning to eat big pot rice, and in the end it almost became a cafeteria.

Recalling that Yajieer was in the classroom to dozens of students, leading them to read the text aloud; Thinking back to Yajie'er under a faint yellow oil lamp, carefully correcting the students' homework; Thinking back to the big iron pot on the straw stove in the kitchen, the water in it began to tumble, Yajieer lifted the lid of the pot, and a burst of water vapor rose, and even her face was hidden in the mist, which more perfectly confirmed the tenderness of her mother's surname......

Ling Yanshan sniffed deeply at the fresh air mixed with the smell of the mountains and wilderness, and it seemed that even the air in the early morning was mixed with the smell of a wisp of cooking smoke.

Behind her, there was a hoarse wheezing sound like pulling a bellows, followed by a burst of sighing sounds. Ling Yanshan didn't look back, because she knew that Wan Likai had spent a full twenty hours, carrying a backpack weighing dozens of kilograms, and moving to the final end little by little, and his current action could only be one, that is...... Crawl!

Ling Yanshan was silent for a long time, and she suddenly asked, "How do those two vegetable dumplings taste?" ”

Although Wan Likai was tired to death, his eyes still widened violently when he heard this.

"Wan Likai, aren't you very smart, very slippery, and even very cunning?" Ling Yanshan turned her head, she stared straight at Wan Likai, and said, "You have obviously exhausted the strength of your body, there is no way to rely on your physical strength to bring that backpack up the mountain, and meet two farmers who only ask you for fifteen yuan, why don't you hire them?" He could have had them pick up their backpacks near their destination and carry them in front of me himself. In fact, I didn't ask you not to hire someone to do it for you, and even if you did that, it wouldn't be a violation, and I wouldn't kick you out of the Fifth Special Unit because of this! ”

"Didn't you tell me that Master Zhan Xia Ge said that I was very similar to him?" Wan Likai's mouth grinned, revealing a smile that was even uglier than crying, and he gasped and replied: "If it is a warrior song, he would definitely rather climb up, and he will definitely not choose to retreat or cheat in this kind of competition that challenges his physical strength and will." I'm not a big guy yet, but at least I know that this kind of challenge is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat! You also know the purpose of my entry into the Fifth Special Force, the one I want to challenge is the first place in the [***] martial arts competition, if I, Wan Likai, can't even complete such a test, why should I fight with him?! ”

"And ......" Wan Likai raised his head, stared at Ling Yanshan's eyes, and said, "I hate that you look at me with that kind of condescending and disdainful eyes, why should I fall into your calculations?" Even if it is to see your surprised expression, even if it is to let you know to restrain your self-righteous judgment, I, Wan Likai, will win the dignity and win to convince you! ”

(To be continued)
