Chapter 2 Unique Burdens
Qin Xiaoyu was furious and roared violently like a beast: "Mallet! Are you going to check the injuries, huhββ!!? When she realized that she was extremely out of shape, she immediately closed her mouth wide open and covered it tightly with both hands.
"It's okay, when people are in unfavorable situations such as pain or hunger and cold, their emotions are easy to get out of control, and then negative emotions such as anger and sadness will appear." Li Ling comforted expressionlessly as he began to untie his clothes.
The style of painting changed abruptly, Qin Xiaoyu was startled, and involuntarily moved back: "You...... What are you doing? β
As soon as the words fell, I saw Li Ling pull from his chest and throw out something, then touched a few handfuls from his trouser tube, and threw out a few more things. Only then did Qin Xiaoyu see clearly that those things were all sandbags. Thinking of the big backpack that Li Ling had just thrown down the hillside, his jaw almost fell to the ground in surprise.
It was only at this time that she focused on Li Ling's face for the first time, different from the young man she had seen before, there was a calm that did not match her age on his face full of sweat and dust.
Where did Li Ling know Qin Xiaoyu's thoughts, he only said: "Your injury is not light, you need to deal with it as soon as possible, let me carry you down!" After that, without waiting for Qin Xiaoyu to answer, he grabbed her arm and lifted her up.
With the intention of competing with each other, Qin Xiaoyu gritted his teeth stubbornly, but he still snorted in pain, so he had to secretly slander Li Ling for not being a gentleman.
"Probably...... I was a little rude just now. As if hearing her heart, Li Ling turned around and said a word, and then carried her on his back to bypass the steep slope that he had looked at before, and walked down the more gentle left slope.
Qin Xiaoyu turned his head away and ignored him. She has seen a lot of young people with pens, and the end is miserable.
At first, Qin Xiaoyu thought that Li Ling would walk and rest, but when he couldn't hold on, he would naturally put himself down and help him go. They will even leave themselves behind with a face full of shame and go back to call people.
But a quarter of an hour later...... Half an hour later...... After an hour......
"Why are you helping me?" After a long time, Qin Xiaoyu finally asked. "With your strength, as long as you don't give up, you will definitely get a good ranking!"
She didn't mean to brag about that, because she had never heard of a recruit who dared to secretly load himself when he was off-road. But she also knew in her heart that when Li Ling came down the mountain and then called someone to come up, it would be dark for a long time, and the foot injury was secondary, and the moon was dark and the wind was high on this small hillside......
"Seeing each other is fate." Li Ling casually made a perfunctory remark, and also wiped out the trace of Qin Xiaoyu's good impression he had just raised.
"Huh!" Qin Xiaoyu laughed awkwardly a few times, and said sarcastically: "Are you a monk?" β
As soon as the words fell, Li Ling lifted her ass up, and said, "Hold it tighter, this piece is steep." After speaking, his body stumbled violently, so frightened that Qin Xiaoyu had to do it.
But now, Qin Xiaoyu's face completely turned the color of pig liver, thinking that the oil that was being rubbed now would sooner or later make Li Ling repay it ten or a hundred times......
Fortunately, there are not many such cases, probably only a few dozen times. Other times, Li Ling walked very smoothly. Qin Xiaoyu sometimes suspected that he was not sitting on Li Ling's back, but on a small boat going down the river.
At this moment, the end of the race was already full of veterans who came to watch, reminiscing about their eventful years while pointing at several figures running in the distance.
"Okay, a single brag, let's see the demeanor of these recruits." A deputy battalion commander shouted as the crowd fell silent.
Soon, a recruit with five big and three thick, a blue beard on his face, quite like an ancient reckless man, strode over. When he saw that there was no recruit at the finish line, he immediately cried out with excitement: "God, I, Zhou Xiaotian, have finally shown up!" β
The deputy battalion commander frowned, and said to himself: "This guy is a bit biao." This sentence made the veterans around laugh.
Before the laughter was over, the figure in the distance crossed the finish line with a whirl. There were seventeen or eighteen people in total, all of whom were recruits with excellent physical fitness.
Due to the overdraft of the body, those who crossed the finish line either threw up on the tree and vomited, or lay on the ground and rolled their eyes. Some people even crossed the line and fell straight to the ground.
Those who can walk upright are already quite decent.
"Jiang Hao! Have you seen Li Ling? The roommate of the two, Sun Ming, staggered over from the side.
"Do you need to talk about that? I must have crossed the finish line early and went back to recharge my batteries! Jiang Hao wiped the residue and white foam from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and looked into the distance.
"That's not right! I heard that the first place in the weight-bearing off-road is Zhou Xiaotian, the second year of 10,000 years, and I haven't seen Li Ling at all. Don't...... Is he lost? Sun Ming scratched his head and said, he didn't believe that the madman who used eating and drinking Lazar as training would fall behind him.
"Lost?! Li Ling and I have run all over the mountains and fields several times, big brother. Unless he met a ghost and hit the wall...... Well, it must be so, because it can only be so! After saying that, Jiang Hao couldn't help but snap his fingers for his wit. However, according to Li Ling's previous achievements in other events, as long as he completes this competition within the specified time, he will be the king of recruits this year. Being late for a short time will not affect the results. β
"Well, that's the only one possible!" Sun Ming nodded honestly, and said: "Many people are worried about him, I hope he won't disappoint everyone." If you let that guy Zhou Xiaotian become the king of recruits, it will be miserable! β
"What do you mean by that?"
"Don't you know? Qin Xiaoyu ...... "Sun Ming only said these three words, and Jiang Hao's face changed greatly.
More than a month ago, when everyone was bleeding because of a dispute about who were the female soldiers, especially the most handsome male soldier in Qin Xiaoyu's mind, Li Ling, who was doing push-ups on the side, pouted and said, "You don't have a long mouth?" β
A sentence woke up the person in the dream, and everyone immediately asked Qin Xiaoyu's roommate Liu Ting to inquire about the standard answer. At that time, at the request of everyone, Liu Ting relayed Qin Xiaoyu's words word for word: "The most handsome male soldier? And it has to be young, with the troops? Belch...... I don't know. β
Fortunately, Liu Ting then addedβof course, it was relayed in Qin Xiaoyu's tone: "Could it be the new recruit king of this year??? β
After that, Liu Ting also learned from Qin Xiaoyu's appearance, and blinked her little eyes innocently, causing everyone to complain for a while, saying that it was Dong Shi's imitation, which looked similar but not similar. And the last few "question marks" are even more insincere, obviously Qin Xiaoyu just said it casually......
Everyone laughed on the surface, but in their hearts, they were full of energy. In the last month, the leaders of the army could not resist everyone's enthusiasm, and for the first time, they did not even care about their work and rest time, and let everyone train frantically.
Especially Zhou Xiaotian, who brazenly made Qin Xiaoyu his girlfriend, and gave everyone a war letter - the loser promised to give up the right to pursue Qin Xiaoyu, otherwise, he would ......
"Phew!" Jiang Hao couldn't help but take a sip. While secretly blaming himself for being hot-headed and accepting Zhou Xiaotian's challenge, he stretched his neck to look into the distance, and kept muttering: "Why did this guy Li Ling get intimidated at the critical moment?" Are you afraid that Zhou Xiaotian will beat him? β
Time passed in anxious waiting, and it was getting dark. If Li Ling can't come back before six o'clock, then his efforts and scores in this big event will all be zero.
Some of the recruits who had already completed the journey even anxiously returned the same way, hoping to find Li Ling's rushing figure as soon as possible. It's a pity that the last section is a long, straight asphalt road, and if anyone still doesn't want to give up, it should have appeared a long time ago.
"Tick tock!" The time passed 5:50, and there was still no figure at the end of the road. In this case, the rest of the people should not have a chance to complete the course within the allotted time. Even the referees in charge of registering the time frequently looked at the electronic watch.
If he hadn't noticed the old man in the distance who made the regiment commander tremble, he would have announced the end a long time ago.
There was a burst of "Whoa!" from the side. Jiang Hao glanced at it, and saw that the stout Zhou Xiaotian was constantly thrown into the air surrounded by a group of younger brothers. It seems that he has won the title of "Rookie King" is already a certainty.
"Alas!" Jiang Hao slapped his thigh violently, sighed, and lost all his thoughts.
"Whew...... How......" There were several long, sharper, wolf-like howls in the distance. Jiang Hao woke up from his depression. He looked up in disbelief as a small black dot in the distance, growing in size at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"He's coming!" Jiang Hao struck with both palms and made a "pop" sound. As long as Li Ling finished the race before six o'clock, Jiang Hao would not lose his right to pursue Qin Xiaoyu. He even had the illusion that as long as Li Ling won, Qin Xiaoyu would completely fall under his sugar-coated cannonballs.
Jiang Hao looked at the time, there was still one minute and forty seconds.
"There's still a chance!" Jiang Hao raised his fist and shouted excitedly. Then he grabbed Sun Ming and ran towards the figure in the distance, ready to give his good buddy an inspiring escort action.
Even the recruits who were throwing Zhou Xiaotian into the air rekindled their hopes and ran away in a swarm. With a muffled sound of "poof", Zhou Xiaotian, who was five big and three thick, fell the asphalt road.
β¦β¦
Li Ling was a little puzzled, he clearly remembered that there was still a distance from the finish line, why did a large number of people suddenly appear in front of him?
According to Qin Xiaoyu's original plan, once she turned the bend just now, she asked Li Ling to put her down and help her to the end.
Li Ling laughed at Qin Xiaoyu at first for being hypocritical and unable to keep pace with the times, but considering that she was a yellow flower girl after all, and she was a public figure in the army, she had to nod and agree.
But as soon as they turned the corner, in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by cheers and two rows of recruits.
"Li Ling, come on! King of Soldiers, come on! The sound of the mountain roaring and tsunami made Li Ling a little overwhelmed, thinking to himself when he had such a high popularity, who has always been low-key? It's a bit wicked!
Qin Xiaoyu was even more angry, if she had known that this guy also had so many fans, she should have come down earlier. Fortunately, it's too late. Jumping down in a hurry is not three hundred taels of silver here, but if you don't come down......
"Forget it, the body is not afraid of shadows!" Qin Xiaoyu turned his heart sideways, and simply lay on Li Ling's back, and put his hot face on his shoulder. "It's a big deal, I'll post a Weibo tomorrow to clarify."
Feeling the movement on his back, Li Ling couldn't help but ask, "There is still a little time, or ...... Let's fight for it? β
"Hmm-" The chirp as thin as a mosquito sounded in Li Ling's ears, and he agreed.
"Okay, sit tight!" Li Ling exerted his ten fingers, lifted Qin Xiaoyu up, and ran wildly.
Even after walking and running for such a long distance, Li Ling was already exhausted, and his legs had already turned from soreness to numbness, so it stands to reason that he should not be able to run anymore.
But he loves fitness very much on weekdays, often running all over the mountains, plus he is holding back a lot of energy in his heart, and at this time, he doesn't care whether his legs are feeling or not, but his brain constantly gives orders of "run fast - run fast - there is still a chance -".
The result is a simple open-loop control system of the human brain and reflex arcs, with skyrocketing speed and reduced balance......
If Qin Xiaoyu felt like she was sitting in a small boat going down the river before, now she felt like she was stepping onto a speeding mountain bike and was speeding through the wilderness.
The footsteps of "Knock Knock" are the roar of the engine.
Seeing that the pursuit of Qin Xiaoyu was lost, the cheers of the recruits on both sides of the road were particularly loud, but when Li Ling ran in front of them, the recruits behind him were immediately stunned, and their jaws fell to the ground.
"Look, everyone, Li Ling's weight is not guns and ammunition, nor bricks and stones, but a big living person!" The "Little Army" in the army shouted at the top of his voice, attracting everyone's attention to Qin Xiaoyu.
"Female soldiers! Women! Women! β
"Dear mother! Don't play like this. β
"Does this count as a foul?!"
"Who the hell is that female soldier? Why don't you raise your head and let everyone see? β
"Is there any secret that cannot be said? Let's go and have a look. β
β¦β¦
So, Li Ling carried Qin Xiaoyu on his back and rode into the dust. The people in front shouted and cheered for Li Ling. Behind him, hula followed by a group of guys watching the excitement.
Maybe Qin Xiaoyu felt that he couldn't hide after all, so he simply raised his head and looked at the finish line with an indifferent face.
However, the mentality has quietly changed from being upright and not afraid of shadows to being a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
"Oh my God! It's Qin Xiaoyu! With a loud shout, the pursuers behind him suddenly became confused, stumbling and falling to the ground.
So, as Li Ling ran all the way, the recruits who were shouting and cheering on both sides of the road also fell to the ground sadly......
"Li Ling! Come on! Twenty-five! Come on! Several exceptionally loud cheers sounded from the front, and Jiang Hao and Sun Ming greeted them with smiles and gratitude, shouting the code names of Li Ling and their dormitories.
Even Qin Xiaoyu, who was violently jolting, was infected by their enthusiasm, and glanced at the two of them curiously, thinking that these two people are the so-called "die-hard fans", right? Hehe!
But it was that faint glance that made Jiang Hao and Sun Ming stand on the spot as if they were struck by lightning.
Until the moment when Li Ling crossed the finish line at a speed equivalent to the 100-meter world championship. Jiang Hao asked in a trance: "Can you see clearly?" β
"Clearly, it's her, my goddess." Han big Sun Ming nodded, and said with a crying voice: "Lost!" The people who bet on them all lose. β
"Come back, it's cold, it's time to add some clothes."
