Chapter 10: Runways
Rolling wheels, with an incessant rumbling sound, the intervals of the sounds are getting louder and larger. Gradually, the train stopped, and I came back to reality from my dream.
The recruits are passing the luggage one after another, that is, those left-behind black bags that are similar to each other, I really don't know where they got the courage to dare to pass it like this, aren't they afraid that they will make a mistake later?
When I got out of the car, I realized I was wrong.
Those black bags were placed on a water-mill floor at the station, aligned horizontally and vertically, orderly and orderly, with clear shifts, like a neat queue.
At a glance, I saw my name from the last bag in the first column - Ye Xing.
Immediately, we all stood in front of our black bags, and under the leadership of the leader, we obediently got on the green bus to the "recruit company".
After three days and two nights on the train, I felt a little tired and even a little motion sickness, so I switched seats with Li Fuer, who was sitting with me, because the air was better by the window on his side.
Sure enough, the seat near the window is not only fresh air, but also a good place to watch the new environment and new scenery.
I couldn't help but take a big breath of oxygen, and although the smog in the city seemed much bigger than in City D, it also made me feel a lot better.
Strangely, in this car, I was thinking most about the new things I was about to face, not the past, but the new things I was about to face, which really made me curious.
What is the life of a soldier like?
After about an hour, the green bus finally braked, and we, like a curious bird out of the cage, got out of the car.
The first thing that catches our eye is a suburb and a river.
Standing in the corner of this suburb is a behemoth building, with a huge five-pointed star wrapped in two big characters.
The military emblem of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
And all the places below this building are neatly lined up buildings.
Later, we learned that the bustling cities, the smog, the suburbs, and the rivers have nothing to do with us. In this "new birdcage", the only thing that we get along with day and night, apart from the training ground of NUO, is the endless "runway" that surrounds the entire recruit brigade.
Every afternoon's physical training gives me a huge headache, because as we all know, although I look a little more stretchy and handsome, but those are all appearances, to put it bluntly, I am a completely large plastic bag - special fit!
"What's that soldier's name? Looks like I'm very worried! ”
It was another physical time period, and I stood at the end of the queue, came back to my senses, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a few leaders in the distance, talking to our company commander.
Even though I couldn't hear them clearly, I could read them from the way they spoke.
The captain said: "You said that kid, his name is Ye Xing, he is usually very obedient and his training is also very serious, but his physical fitness is slightly worse than that of other recruits."
The leader said: "When the recruits first arrive, they will inevitably miss their home and parents, so we should talk to them more about our hearts......
"Understand, understand, rest assured, this batch of recruits will definitely be the best batch ever!"
"Hey, don't pull out the seedlings to help them grow, how to come, how to come."
I was "listening", and then I heard the squad leader on the side say, "Ready...... Run! ”
Our class is the sixth class, the squad leader Yuan Ruijun, and even the other squad leaders we call him "Yuan Datou", but what I wonder is that our squad leader's head is not very big, until this afternoon, I suddenly became enlightened.
Hearing the squad leader pinch the stopwatch in his hand, I was stunned for a while, but when I reacted, it was too late, and it was over, and the comrades-in-arms around me who were originally on the same starting line disappeared without a trace.
I'm already running slowly, and now I'm even last, but if I think about it, it's okay, I've always been last, and this time there is no Li Fuer to pull me, and in the end, it's understandable!
"Ye Daxian, are you waiting for the food, don't you run!?" It seems that the squad leader is angry.
"Oh...... Oh! "I just have to mean it, but I hope I don't get angry.
Luckily, I had just taken two steps when a savior came.
"Ye Xing, come here!" The captain walked over and shouted.
Hearing this, I was secretly overjoyed and immediately said, "Yes, yes!"
"Report." I triumphantly walked up to the squad leader, who gave me a "roll" look.
I followed our company commander along the runway slowly, and from time to time my sweaty comrades threw jealous and surprised looks.
Finally, I sat down with the company commander on a well-rested grass, and I sat in a standard position, waiting for the company commander to talk.
"Ye Xing, how are you doing, are you still adapting?" The company commander smiled and said, "Are you still used to life?" ”
I thought about it, but I still said against my will: "Well, adapt."
"That's good, if there are any difficulties in life, just tell me, the company commander, I will definitely help you solve it as soon as possible."
"Yes, thank you, company commander."
"Also, your physical fitness really needs to be strengthened, otherwise if you are too backward in the future, the same batch of soldiers will laugh."
I knew he would say this, after all, this is my biggest bottleneck, "Company commander, I also want to strengthen, but ......"
"But what?"
"But as soon as I run, I get out of breath, it's natural, and I can't control it, and three kilometers is not too long, it's because of the bifurcation, so I can't run......"
"Hey, no one is born, you can pass multiple physical examinations and choose from thousands of people, it means that your body is very normal."
"Really?" I am skeptical.
"Of course, so be it, I'll tell you a story."
"What's the story?"
"Do you know why everyone else calls your squad leader 'Big Head'?"
"Because the head is small." I accidentally blurted it out.
"Don't make trouble," the company commander frowned, but quickly let go and continued, "Actually, it's like this, because Yuan Ruijun is like you when he was a recruit, his physical fitness is backward, but he is unwilling to work hard, he is afraid of hardship and tiredness, which is very big, so the squad leader has always called him Big Head." ”
"Oh." I realized, and I was thinking, if I kept being like this, would I have to be called "Ye Datou" by others?
"Look, isn't he also a very good squad leader now?"
"Hmm." I agreed, because on the afternoon of the first arrival, all the squad leaders tested a five-kilometer together, and we were the first squad leaders. We were overjoyed when we bandoned. And I am an exception, I think that a strict teacher produces a high apprentice, and a high teacher must be a strict teacher!
"So, if you can't learn, if you can't practice, there is no barrier that is permanent, I believe you can do it!"
"Then how should I practice?" If you can't practice, you can practice, and all of a sudden it made me a little panicked, it won't be that I want to practice more, then it won't cost me my life!
The company commander continued: "That's it, I'll teach you a way, the method of diverting attention, every time you run, do you keep thinking that you will be angry later, will I not be able to?"
"No......" I said humbly.
"Every time you run, you find something to divert your attention, think of yourself as if you are taking a walk, you can look at the clouds in the sky, you can look at the flowers and trees on the side of the road, you can also think about your past, your future...... In short, don't think you're training, you're running! ”
"Okay, I'll try next time."
After a long time, the company commander and I had a heart-to-heart talk, and I didn't know if his method would work, but then, I could give it a try.
Back to the place where the squad leader sat a few laps, the squad leader looked at the time in his hand and said that there was still half an hour before he brought it back, and asked me to make up for the three kilometers just now.
The comrades-in-arms who had just finished running on the side laughed, and I couldn't help but be a little angry, isn't it just a three-kilometer? I'll show you the highest record!
"Yes, squad leader!"
Stepping on the white starting line in the center of the runway, I suddenly felt that my body was full of infinite strength, and the lazy state of the past seemed to suddenly cease to exist.
If you think about it, this place is so similar to memories!
The same wake-up call, the same running drills, the same race against time......
What's more, it is nothing more than that the classroom has been turned into a training ground, the class has been replaced by a drill class, and the classmates have become comrades, and friends are comrades-in-arms......
"Ready, run!" The stopwatch goes off.
At the same time, my heavy, not heavy footsteps stomped on this short and long runway......
That year, it was also three kilometers, she was cheering for me, but I left the first regret in my life.
