Chapter 12 Regaining Dignity
The day had risen early, and the sky had already brightened, but the stars had not yet set their branches.
"Assemble!" As soon as the platform gave an order, some people came out of the tent in twos and threes.
Some people trotted nervously for fear of slowing down, some people were full of carelessness, as if they didn't take it seriously at all, and some people didn't get out of the tent at all, just like that, for half an hour, the drill field was considered to be a full person, and maybe there were people who didn't show up.
Tao Xiaoxiao slowly paced over, didn't look at the people present, sat directly on the armchair in the center of the stage, and felt uncomfortable holding the teacup.
Ben was still shouting, but seeing the lord holding the tea freely, but slowly quieted down, everyone couldn't help but stare at Tao Yao, wanting to see what this battalion commander who had once let out big words was thinking.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Tao Yao waved to Okra and whispered two words in his ear. Okra first glanced at Tao Yaoyao in disbelief, as if to confirm the truth of her words, but Tao Yaoyao smiled and couldn't deny it. Okra's face changed, and then she walked straight ahead and shouted loudly below.
"All soldiers obey orders, and those who are late are out of line! The team leader is out of line! The captain of the detachment is out! After okra shouted, everyone look at me, I look at you, and see that it is okra, so I slowly stepped out of the ranks.
If there is one person, there is a second, and then there is a third, and then a fourth...... Until all the latecomers have stepped forward. This can't tolerate them, after all, everyone is looking at it, and they can't fish in troubled waters in front of everyone, and among these people, all the team leaders are out of the ranks, and there is only one team leader who is not out of the list, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
Seeing that it was almost over, Okra walked down herself, stood in front of all the queues, and shouted loudly to Taoyao: "Battalion commander, all latecomers have been discharged!" The team leader, detachment leader, and team leader are also listed! ”
What does that mean? Even okra, the leader recognized by everyone, is among them, is it possible that the battalion commander has to collectively punish them? The so-called law does not hold the people accountable, but this accounts for three-fifths of the people, so they can't all be punished. Just when everyone was still glad that so many people were disobedient and were also watching Tao Yaoyao's jokes, Tao Yaoyao slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, and the fragments splashed around like brilliant flowers.
"All those who come out of the queue obey the order! You are a disgrace to our head battalion! You told me with your bodies on the first day that you are cowards! It's the outbackers! It's the one who doesn't have the promise! You tell me, are you such people?! Tao's words instantly spread throughout the training ground.
Compared to the noise at the beginning, the training ground is now silent. No one answered her words, no one denied them, to be precise, no one dared to speak out at all, and many more lowered their heads. Yes, they were the ones who swore yesterday!
"Now, I'll give you a chance! The captain obeys the order! Tao Yao paused for a full half a cup of tea before he eased his tone and said loudly.
"In!" The alto of okra is strong and powerful.
"Take them around the field fifty laps! You can't rest until the last person has run all of them! The rest stand still! "Peach is drunk.
"Yes!" When the okra was finished, he took the lead.
When the people behind saw this scene, whether they were willing or unwilling, they were all taken away and ran. This training ground is not big or small, no matter how big it is, it is bigger than the 400-meter runway playground in her former school, so these 50 laps are more than 20,000 meters, more than 20 kilometers! Gotta run away with half his life, right?
Tao Yaoyao sat down after speaking, the current training ground is surprisingly strange, this head camp that is just lazy and waiting for death on weekdays is really surprising today. Half of them stood still, and half of them ran and didn't dare to stop.
Tao Yaoyao sat there, her eyes closed and she didn't look at them. Two hours passed, and in the blink of an eye it was noon. The sun in the sky basks the earth with all its might, as if it wants to make a few holes in this yellow earth. Fortunately, these people have always been at the bottom of the manual work, and their bodies are quite able to resist, but now they are gradually struggling.
Soon, the speed of the people running was getting slower and slower, and some of the people standing were already staggering.
"Poof-" A man fell.
"Ah Hu, let the people on the logistics side carry him down, and if he has heat stroke, feed him some anti-heat medicine I gave you, if not...... Military disposition! Before everyone protested, she shouted orders to the young man who had been standing beside her.
"Yes!" Ah Hu got the order and hurriedly went down to do things.
Tao Yaoyao had made these anti-heat medicines long ago, and these medicines were also simple, but in the eyes of these people, it was not so easy. They are accustomed to seeing people who die in the scorching heat, not to mention doctors and medicines, and it depends on heaven to stay alive.
Everyone didn't dare to move when they heard this, and looked at the person who was carried away, and the person who originally wanted to fish in troubled waters and pretend to be dizzy moved his mouth, and immediately dispelled this thought. Just kidding, so many people are still running, wouldn't they have to die if they were dealt with by military law?
In this way, everyone shook their spirits again. An hour has passed......
The people who were running began to run at the speed of walking, and the eyes of those who stood could no longer be opened, and beads of sweat the size of beans poured out of their heads, dripping on their clothes and on the ground, and not even a trace of smoke came out.
People are constantly falling, and most of those who were originally sent to do logistics are generally old, and in short, they are not suitable for fighting at the front. They were quite diligent, and at first they were in a hurry, and when someone fell, they rushed to move. As more people fell, their team leader also summed up their experience and let them walk together in batches, which was finally orderly and improved a lot of efficiency.
Tao Yaoyao saw it in his eyes, but only nodded slightly, but did not speak.
Okra had been running ahead, and he had counted every lap he had run, and now it was forty-eight laps, and he was the fastest. The slowest man in the line was seven or eight laps less than him. When he finished running, he saw Tao Xiaoyao waving at him.
Tao Xiaoxiao said something to his ear again, okra's originally white and dry lips seemed to have some blood in an instant, he turned his head to look at Tao Yaoyao's eyes were much more complicated, and then glanced at the people in the audience. These people dragged their bodies, their feet were strides, but their eyes were full of torture.
"The battalion commander has an order - the group that finishes first will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and the first team to finish will be rewarded with two taels of silver each!" After the sentence was finished, everyone's eyes swished at the person on the stage.
Everyone had incredulous eyes, but the steps on their feet were somehow much easier.
At this moment, Ah Hu led someone to carry up a box, and the box was filled with real money, which simply blinded their eyes. Where did all this silver come from?
As everyone knows, this is the only remaining food and salary in Tao Yaoyao, which Liu Xi promised her, and he had people send the grain, grass and silver salary the day before. Although it is not much, but this is a dead man's camp, these are also based on Tao Xiaoyao's face and Liu Xi's guilt.
"Brothers, rush!" The silver was placed on top, and the people below instantly went crazy, urging the people in the same group to rush forward.
The person who was like the damaged army changed his style in an instant, became overwhelming, and became unstoppable. Their eyes were red, the scorching sun at this time could no longer resist them, and they saw the people around them rushing to the finish line desperately, and the rest of them were moving forward, and they had only one purpose in their minds at this time, and that was to win!
"We won! We won! We won! "The first group of 10 people to finish 50 laps quickly saw each other, and they were not so excited. Not only the thrill of silver, but perhaps more importantly the honor. For the first time, they felt that they could be so close to the honor, and the feeling of receiving the honor was so exciting.
"Don't be stupid! And the whole team! Hurry up! We're going to take the top spot in the team! Seeing that the group's money was hopeless, someone immediately thought that there was still the whole team, so they accelerated their pace again to win the final victory.
"Rush!"
"Quick!"
"Run!"
"I'm pulling you! Brothers! ”
Soon, those who were lagging behind but alone and had no one to help them were already reaching out to them, regardless of the purpose, but for the first time these people understood the importance and explosive power of a team. There were a lot of people who were originally running in front, and then retreated to pull those who were behind, and Tao Yao was silent, acquiescing to this behavior.
"Come on! It's the last one! ”
"Come on! Brothers! ”
"Win! We won! We won! ”
Within half an hour, the whole team also appeared. At this time, there were only about a dozen people running on the training ground.
All of them were already soaked with sweat, and they couldn't tell the difference between sweat and tears, sweat was hot, and tears were hot. How excited they were! How excited they were! At this time, everything in heaven and earth seemed to let them see a new world.
"My soldiers! You may be weak now! You don't have sharp knives and axes, you don't have tough armor, but you have a heart that won't admit defeat! Look at the day, look at the earth! Because your hearts, the heavens tremble for you, and the earth is torn for you, and I am proud of you! Behold, we may be humble, but one day we will stand on the top of the mountain with our own feet! Run, my soldiers! Let's rush to the finish line as a family! Tao opened her eyes suddenly, and the light in her eyes rushed into the sky like a dazzling star.
These words were like a bamboo, and the rest of the people were sad and guilty, but after hearing these words, they raised their heads without hesitation and rushed forward desperately.
"It's time to arrive! We did it! "When everyone has completed what was impossible for them, Ah Hu has already asked the logistics people to start dividing the money.
And at this time, it seems that the silver is no longer as demagogic as it was at the beginning, and their hearts seem to be occupied by something else, which is called dignity!
