Li Xi doesn't want to be a muscular man, but this is the seed of his future army, and he must hold this seedling to grow little by little. So he also had to march cross-country with the teenagers, but fortunately, he also belonged to the working people, and he could still endure this hardship.

In fact, he was very lazy, everyone had a bamboo back frame, and the other teenagers had leather blankets, sleeping bags, tents, food and other things tied to the shelves, and everyone had no less than twenty kilograms on their backs, plus the short sword and wooden stick, the weight was almost thirty kilograms. On the other hand, he only has a lightweight blanket sleeping bag that weighs less than ten kilograms.

Li Shi is engaged in special treatment, including Jia Wu and other nine young people do not eat with other teenagers, and he himself is even a small stove, and all kinds of behaviors are divided into levels.

This was deliberate by Li Xian, and he had also thought about what kind of attitude he should take towards this batch of seeds, and this attitude had a deep impact. What kind of attitude is he, the young people who have been trained, and the soldiers will also follow this attitude, so they must be cautious.

At first, he didn't sleep all night thinking about this, and when he was confused in the early morning, he finally came to the conclusion that he couldn't copy other practices such as shushing and asking for warmth, undressing and pushing food, and sucking blood and sucking sores. First, this is against his heart, acting is necessary, but relying on acting to buy people's hearts, he feels that there is no need to use it on his own batch of seeds. Second, his kindness to these teenagers is heavy enough, and the so-called "overflowing grace and loss of authority", he really can't treat these teenagers as his own sons. The third point is the most important, the army is a hierarchical society, and it is the most strict hierarchical society. Even after 300 years, the distinction between the top and bottom has not changed, and the top and bottom are the form, and they must be clearly marked from all aspects.

Therefore, there must be a difference between the upper and lower levels, thinking of this, Li Xi also eats a small stove with peace of mind, enjoys the juvenile shift duty, polishes his shoes, and tidies up the house. Of course, he will not conform to this era, and will distinguish between the treatment of superiors and subordinates, and he will be exempted from kneeling or something.

According to this line of thought, he could not carry things, but Li Shi also had the intention of exercising himself, after all, his physical fitness was too different from that of the teenagers, and he really had no face.

"Fourth brother...... Oh, Director-General, both teams are close to the transit point. ”

A small man slid down from the tree, this is Yu Hanyi, and the sturdy Hu Hanshan are exactly two extremes, short and flexible, and has the ability to climb trees with one hand.

"How's it going?"

Coming to the tree, Xu Hanchuan, who was on duty today, took off a small horse tie hanging on his back and propped it up on the ground.

They were training around the Rooster Crown, and this training was not simply a group of people walking. Li Xi and the others are like shepherds, and they have to take care of them all the time. They are divided into three groups: the front and the left. Li Xi took three teams as the front group, waiting for the brigade at the scheduled end of the march every day. There are three teams on the left and right groups, followed by two teams of mine boys and homeless boys.

The mine boy and the homeless boy marched separately every day, and Li Xi estimated the distance with a simple visual method and selected the end point of the daily march. Now it's the initial training, it's still a mountain road, and the straight-line distance I walk every day is only about 20 miles. Then two more transit points on the left and right, four or five miles apart, were selected, and the daily march route was drawn into a quadrangular pyramid shape. Li Xian's group took the middle line, the distance was the shortest, and the homeless teenagers and the mine boys drew lots to choose the left and right, which was their marching route that day, and the actual marching distance was about 50 miles.

In order to ensure fairness, the juveniles of the left and right groups will rotate every two days, and in addition to taking care of the team, they also have another task, that is, to draw a rough map of Jiguan Mountain with the simple distance measurement method taught by Li Xian. This mountainous area is the heart of Li Shi's career, and the terrain must be thoroughly understood.

"It seems that Luo Huzi and they can win."

Yu Hanyi made a judgment based on what he saw.

"Who made Fang Tietou double the number of people?"

Xu Hanchuan sighed.

The cross-country march is really not a camping outing, the more people there are, the more problems there are, and in just three days, there will be a lot of trouble. There are those who do not follow the hygiene regulations and drink raw water indiscriminately and eat mountain fruits to make trouble with their stomachs, those who are not familiar with the mountain roads and fall and get injured, and there are those who do not take care of each other and get separated. Last night, the young man in charge of the sentry did not pay attention to the campfire, and the camp was patronized by unknown beasts. Let Li Shi sigh vigorously that everything is difficult at the beginning.

In addition to exercises, cross-country marching is the closest training to actual combat. Not only can it forge the team's team spirit, but also cultivate the leadership ability of the young people in the management team, and for him, he can also be familiar with the control of the whole team from many tedious details.

Fortunately, Cockscomb Mountain is only a small mountain, and the beast poison is not very powerful, if you want to change to those mountains further west, they will definitely have to fold several people in the past two days. Li Xian vaguely remembered that when he was building the modern New Army, he had conducted cross-country marching training in a snow-capped mountain, but because of the harsh environment, unfamiliar terrain, and lack of leadership, more than half of the casualties were killed, and the cruelty was better than a battle.

Plagued by the jerkiness of the first cross-country march, the competition between Luo Huzi and Fang Tietou became more and more obvious. Luo Huzi's fifteen homeless teenagers have lived a life of exile since they were children, pedaling thick boots, and marching very neatly. It's not that they are too poor in terms of organization, and there are often small situations that make the whole team have to stop and answer, and they can be half as fast as Fang Tietou's group.

There are thirty-seven people on Fang Tietou's side, all of whom used to be miners, and what they are best at is drilling holes, and they are not used to off-road. And because of the large number of people, the proportion of problems is also twice as high. Losses are used to taking care of each other, and falling behind rarely happens, but the speed is surprisingly slow.

The first two days were Luo Huzi's group and arrived at the transit point half an hour faster, and today Fang Tietou's group barely caught up, but there was still half the way, and it was difficult for Fang Tietou and them to continue to catch up.

"It's a little unfair, it is estimated that Fang Tietou will make trouble."

Li Shi muttered, and turned his attention to the west side of the mountain. In the distance, you can faintly see the smoke that has not yet dissipated, it should be the dipping pond in Qingyuan, the northeast of dipping Tan, that is, the northwest where Li Shi is now standing, there is a gold panning cave, where people were panning for gold in ancient times.

Eyes shifted to the valley not far away, a stream meandered, this is Li Shi's destination, the front mountain of Jiguan Mountain. This cross-country march with the teenagers is not only for training and mapping, but also to touch the bottom of the gold mine in the front mountain.

Before the end of the day, the three teams gathered, and before Fang Tietou could speak, the other two people quarreled first, it was Jia Hao and Wu Ya.

"Look, I'm going to be a little faster."

Wu Ya was triumphant, two days ago it was Jia Hao who followed Fang Tietou, and today it was him, although he still didn't catch up with Luo Huzi, but the gap was much smaller than the previous two days, and he attributed this to his leadership.

"I'm the first two nests, and you're the third nest to feed people, so you're embarrassed?"

Jia Hao directly despised him, and the two quarreled. Lay out the special surnames and advantages and disadvantages of the two teams one by one, Wu Ya insisted that with the same number of people, Fang Tietou and they would definitely win, but Jia Hao thought that Luo Huzi and their advantages were too obvious, and the result was undoubted.

Luo Huzi and Fang Tietou looked at them, and when they looked at each other again, they all had a kind of depression that had been robbed of the scene.

"If you're not convinced, then start over."

Li Xi admitted that there was indeed a problem with the rules he formulated before, which made Jia and Wu also trap, but there is nothing wrong with this, to put it bluntly, this is muddying the water, which is conducive to team integration.

The new rules came out soon, Jia Hao Fang Tietou took ten mine boys as a team, and Wu Ya Luo Huzi brought ten homeless teenagers as a team, so it was fair. The rest of the people followed Li Shi's front team, and taking this opportunity, Li Xi also had to familiarize himself with the feeling of personally leading the team.

The next day, they didn't go on the road, but surveyed and tried to mine the Qianshan gold mine, and the teenagers were also startled at first, but they didn't expect that there was gold here, but then they calmed down. The more gold they have, the more they share, and that's certainly something to be happy about, but nothing else.

I didn't bring gold panning tools, this day was to look for dog's head gold, and I got a total of 20 taels of gold in the stream with the highest density of gold sand, which is not a small harvest. Li Xi divided the gold into two parts, and asked Fang Tietou and Luo Huzi to bring one each, although this decision made the teenagers confused, but they were used to not questioning Li Shi's decision, only Fang Luo and the others felt a lot of pressure.

Previously, they were moving from east to west, across the north side of the Cockscomb Mountain. Now turn south, turn back to east, and sweep the south side of Cockscomb Mountain. The Cockscomb Mountain was narrow from north to south and wide from east to west, and by the sixth day, they had made their way towards the gold mining camp in the back mountain.

The competition between the homeless boy and the mine boy has evolved into the competition between Jia Hao and Wu Ya. On the fifth day, Wu Yafang Tietou won the first victory, and by noon on the sixth day, Jia Hao and Luo Huzi rushed to the front again and regained the advantage again.

Seeing that Jia Luo was going to defeat Wu Fang again, it rained on Jiguan Mountain.

Guangdong in May is the rainy season, and there have been a few times before, and the rain is not heavy, so it has no effect. But this rain is menacing, covering the sky, and the pouring is not enough to describe.

"Can't go any further! Something will happen! ”

Fang Tietou shouted loudly to Wu Ya, they were walking under a mountain beam, wearing a raincoat made of thick linen and tung oil, and the boots under their feet were already non-slip, and the team could still move forward. It's just that Fang Tietou has never experienced such a fierce mountain rain, and he feels that it will be dangerous to continue walking.

"All of them are tied together with ropes! I don't believe I can't win against that dog! ”

Wu Ya's stubbornness has been committed again, in his opinion, this mountain rain is a great opportunity to defeat the "cunning Jia Gouzi" again. Earlier, Li Xi explained to the young people in the management team that the safety of personnel comes first, but in his opinion, it is just rain, what is there to be afraid of?

Fang Tietou didn't say much, the first of the three killing orders was to kill those who violated the order in battle, although it was not wartime now, he didn't dare to argue with Wu Ya anymore, and even felt a little ashamed, feeling that he was too timid.

The team of twelve people supported each other, and were about to wade through a mountain stream, when they heard a loud bang, and the rocks in the upper reaches of the mountain stream cracked, and the water column like a giant dragon suddenly rolled down.
