Chapter Seventy-Three: Walking in the Snow and Mountains
It's the end of winter in the blink of an eye.
Early morning first snow Silvery white snow, colorful everywhere.
When they woke up, they didn't know how long it had been, and as far as they could see, they had changed into white clothes, shining like fine diamonds.
If they hadn't thought of training, they would have thought the snow was pretty good. But when they think about training, no matter how beautiful the snow is, it is also an obstacle on their way to training.
In late autumn, their morning training changed from running to swimming. They secretly complained in their hearts that Instructor Liu did it on purpose, it was so hot in summer, they wanted them to run every day to learn fighting, and it was so cold in winter, but they wanted to let them swim in the river.
Training is training, and they have long been accustomed to obedience. It's like there's goose feather snow in the sky right now, but it can't stop their training.
When I got downstairs, the snow was still falling outside, not very big, and it hadn't stopped since morning. The snow on the road is almost up to their ankles, and they make a 'gurgling' sound when they walk.
The military uniform in winter is only a thin long-sleeved one, and you can only wear an extra fleece undershirt inside. Instructor Liu said that soldiers should not have extra burdens on their bodies and hands except for weapons and equipment.
When they arrived at the river, they also went into the water in four groups, each group lasted 40 minutes. They took off their clothes and set them aside, leaving only a lighter pair of trousers. Standing on the shore, trembling and waiting for Instructor Liu's order to go into the water.
Instructor Liu gave an order, and they puffed into the water, the icy river water seemed to condense the blood veins of their whole bodies, and they could only swim desperately in the water to fight against the icy river water and save their lives.
Li Chengjing is the only girl here, and Instructor Liu allowed her to wear a one-piece swimsuit. Facing this group of male classmates who had only one pair of pants left, Li Chengjing was embarrassed at first, but fortunately they didn't dare to rub against her, and they got used to it over time.
The moment they came ashore, they trembled even more than when they entered the water. After putting on their clothes, they still had to stand there, and the snowflakes kept drifting on their bodies. At this time, I feel that running, even running with a sandbag tied to it, is a happy thing.
I wondered if the river really froze one day, would Instructor Liu also want them to lie down and cross the river like lying on the ice and begging for carp. Fortunately, the snow in Guicheng is never as majestic as in the north, and it does not freeze the river.
In the afternoon, as soon as they finished gathering, Instructor Liu asked them to gather at the school gate, without explaining why. When they arrived, three armored vehicles were parked at the door, facing outward, and Instructor Liu asked them to get on the armored vehicles in the middle and right in two batches. They didn't ask much, and it was useless to ask, and they all got into the car as ordered.
The car drove all the way north, and the light in the carriage was dim, and only the wheels could be heard rolling against the snow of some thickness on the ground, making a 'gada' like a mirror cracking. After driving for a while, someone realized that this was the direction of Beishan. The car did not reach the Sunset Lake, and stopped when it was still a long way from the base of the mountain.
Their car came, the armored car they hadn't been sitting in just now, and the compartment had also been opened, and there were people in it who kept throwing things down. If you look closely, it is a soldier's marching bag, and the sound of throwing it on the ground is quite dull, and its weight is not light. At this time, they also roughly understood that Instructor Liu probably wanted them to carry their bags to Beishan.
Instructor Liu told them that the weight of these bags was the same, and asked them to pick one at random and carry it on their backs. They thought well, Instructor Liu just wanted them to hike from here to the top of the mountain to the north, and feel the taste of walking in the snow. When they lifted the bag, they could feel that it weighed about ten kilograms, and their backs couldn't help but bend down a little.
Instructor Liu gave them an hour and a half and told them all to reach the top of the mountain. Anyone who has been here knows that it takes almost an hour to walk from here to Sunset Lake at the foot of the mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the north mountain, it takes a minute and a half to reach the top of the mountain. An hour and a half meant they had to run all the way from here to the top of the mountain.
Instructor Liu blew the whistle and their training began.
If they run up now, they probably won't have much energy left at the bottom of the mountain, so they can only walk briskly to save strength for the mountain climbing. This way up is mostly uphill, after the snow is more slippery, plus they still have heavy bags on their backs, Rao is their physical strength and energy have grown a lot, but they still feel that the road ahead is difficult.
An armored car drove up next to them, and they saw Instructor Liu sitting in the front of the car, not even looking at them, he was going to the top of the mountain to wait for them as usual.
It took them about half an hour to walk in three steps and finally reached the bottom of the mountain. When passing by Sunset Lake, you can see a layer of white ice flowers floating on the clear blue water, which complement each other, and the picture is not inferior to summer. They had no intention of watching.
Walking here, it is generally already three or four percent of the physical strength. At this time, the trees next to it are withering, and there are many solid branches on the ground that can hold them up the mountain. When they were in Qiuding Mountain, Instructor Liu did not allow them to use tree branches as support points. They could only catch their breath and lift up the mountain again.
Beishan is not as barren and monotonous as Qiuding Mountain, and the scenery in winter is not as relaxing as in summer. At this time, with a hint of depression and loneliness, after the heavy snowfall, it can also be regarded as a picture of the painter's pen.
They also have no intention of appreciating, only knowing that the road under their feet is not much better than Qiuding Mountain. They still carried their bags on their backs, and the green trees on both sides became an obstacle to their progress, and sometimes they had to turn slightly sideways to move forward, and the barrenness of Qiuding Mountain would not at least cause them to hinder them.
They had to guard against the slippery feet under their feet, carry the weight on their backs and the shade of the trees, and by the time they were halfway up, most of their physical strength had been consumed, relying on their firm belief in accomplishing their goals. This belief sustained them to the top of the mountain within the stipulated time.
Instructor Liu watched them all reach the top of the mountain within an hour and a half, and this time they showed a rare commendation, which somewhat comforted their hearts. However, Instructor Liu told them in the next sentence that they would rest in place for fifteen minutes, and that they would have to continue to carry their bags to the place where they got off the bus before they could take them off, and he would only give them an hour and a half to go down the mountain.
After Instructor Liu finished speaking, he went down the mountain first, and they seized the time to rest, and as soon as the fifteen minutes arrived, they immediately got up and went down the mountain.
The bag is carried on the back, pressed down, the feet are more likely to lose weight, coupled with the slippery after the heavy snow, at this time, it is more difficult to go down the mountain than when the sandbags are tied to the feet to go down the Qiuding Mountain.
Everyone is sideways and slowly descends the mountain, if they are not cautious and careful, they are afraid that falling from here is not just as simple as a gentle fall.
Halfway down, "Ah.....hh
Everyone looked over and saw that Liao Zhongying's left foot had slipped out, his body was tilted, and he was about to fall. However, his body suddenly froze and did not fall, and everyone saw that it was Bai Wenhao who stubbornly supported his arm and pulled half of his body back. When others saw that the situation was wrong, they immediately went to support, and Bai Wenhao let go of his hands.
"Wen Hao, thank you." Liao Zhongying was shocked, and did not forget to say thank you to Bai Wenhao who helped him in time.
Bai Wenhao calmly walked down from the side.
Further down, someone saw that the snow on the steps was dyed red layer by layer. Looking down along the red dot, it happened to be Bai Wenhao's footprints.
"Wen Hao, your left foot is injured."
Bai Wenhao heard the sound, stopped, lifted the trouser tube of his left foot and saw that it was the ankle that was grinding blood, thinking that when he was supporting Liao Zhongying just now, he was grinding blood with his left foot against the edge of the stone steps. It's just that he seems to be so comfortable in saving people, no one thought that he would be injured, and it seems that even he didn't notice it.
Bai Wenhao pulled his socks high, just to cover the wound, then stuffed his trousers in, and continued to walk down as if nothing had happened. He still looked so calm and vigorous as he walked down, and he didn't look injured at all. Everyone didn't know whether to admire his endurance or sigh that he could be so cruel to himself.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain, it also took them nearly fifty minutes. If you want to get to the stop on time, you still have to walk faster. At this time, most of their physical strength had recovered, and everyone ran quickly, and when everyone was below, it was five minutes early.
Liao Zhongying and Bai Wenhao sat in the same car, Bai Wenhao was injured to save himself, he should have cared about his wounds, but he thanked him just now, he didn't even respond, and now even if he asked, he asked in vain, so he simply didn't say anything.
When they returned to the military academy, Instructor Liu asked them to disband and go to the cafeteria to eat, telling them that they would train like this for the next afternoon, and that they would gather at the school gate at half past one every afternoon in the future, and they would not have to go to the training ground again.
Liao Zhongying did not go to the cafeteria with them, and walked alone in the direction of the infirmary. Since Bai Wenhao didn't appreciate the concern in his mouth, he was injured for his own sake, and he was always obliged to go to the infirmary for him to get some trauma medicine to stop bleeding. Although it is meal time now, there will be someone on duty in the infirmary at any time, and this trip will be regarded as a return to his kindness.
When I got there, it happened to be Zou Baoer on duty. More than a month ago, Zou Baoer had changed from a trainee nurse to a regular nurse, and only regular nurses were on duty.
Liao Zhongying roughly told her about Bai Wenhao's rescue and asked him to open a bottle of medicine to stop bleeding and give him, and Zou Baoer immediately went to the cabinet to get a bottle of medicine for him. Tell him that this is a trauma medicine and that it will heal by applying it to the wound every day.
Liao Zhongying thanked him and rushed to the cafeteria to deliver the medicine.
"Wait." Zou Bao'er stopped him.
