Chapter 30: Mountaineering
Seeing that Qi Jiao didn't move, the few people who had been surrounding him glanced at each other, ignored Ye Ying and the three of them, and returned to their respective positions.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ying knew that this matter was far from over, and in the days to come, there would be a lot of trouble to find him. But he didn't show any sound, and took his two brothers to his bunk.
With the first day of foreshadowing and the second day of training, the recruits are much faster. Except for three or five who were really late, the rest of the people arrived on time.
For a small number of untidy and late recruits, the battalion commander Cao Zhen was not polite, and asked the law enforcement team members to reward each of them with three whips, each of which left deep blood marks on their bodies.
"You are all my Cao Zhen's brothers, we can have our lives on the battlefield, but in the barracks, you must be punished for violating military regulations, and no one can be exempted, including me."
When Cao Zhen came, the punishing person came to him and said seriously, so that the punished recruits all bowed their heads in shame.
"Today's training task is to let everyone break through the limits of physical fitness, you have to get to the top of the opposite mountain, get dry food and water and then return, you can't return to the camp before sunset, you don't have to eat at night." Cao Zhen pointed to a mountain peak in the distance and said lightly.
All the soldiers looked up in the direction of Cao Zhen's finger, and many people couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, not to mention that this mountain peak is still far away from the camp tent, even if it is very difficult to climb this steep mountain directly.
"According to yesterday's position, a group of five, let's go!" Cao Zhen didn't give everyone room to think at all, and directly gave the order, and what was even more shocking was that he actually took the lead and ran to the front.
Cao Zhen's lead made the recruits take back the complaints, so they had to follow and try to run forward.
Ye Ying's five-person team is very interesting, in addition to him and Shan Fu Zhao Hu, the other two are Qi Jiao and Gande.
Qi Jiao's hostility towards Ye Ying was never hidden, but the strange thing was that Gande, who had been bullied by Qi Jiao, not only did not feel resentment, but willingly became Qi Jiao's supporter.
When Ye Ying started, Qi Jiao on the side "accidentally" stumbled and tripped over Ye Ying, but he didn't expect Ye Ying to flash lightly and step over.
"Count you kid lucky!" The conspiracy did not succeed, Qi Jiao whispered in disappointment, and then took a step to chase after him.
Everyone ran all the way forward, during which Qi Jiao thought of many ways to make a stumbling block for Ye Ying, but he cleverly avoided them.
After running for more than an hour, Qi Jiao didn't have any extra movements, not because he didn't want to calculate Ye Ying anymore, but because he was already too busy to take care of himself. After dragging his body of two or three hundred pounds for such a long time, he was already a little unbearable.
After another hour, Qi Jiao felt that her legs were like lead, and her pace was staggering and getting slower and slower.
Seeing Ye Ying on the side, still in good spirits, Qi Jiao quietly moved her body to keep herself away from Ye Ying, because if he made a move at this time, how could he not be the opponent of Ye Ying and the three?
And Gander had already noticed this situation at this time, and he, who was timid and afraid, also followed Qi Jiao and began to stay away from Ye Ying and the others.
Time passed little by little, Qi Jiao's footsteps became heavier and heavier, he had infinite strength since he was a child, and the kung fu he learned from his dart master father also belonged to the type of opening and closing. On weekdays, he fights with people, and even if there are five or six people, he can't get close.
But Qi Jiao's weakness is also very obvious, that is, his physical fitness is very poor, and he is not good at this kind of long-distance running, at this time he is already out of breath, his face is pale, but there is still a long distance from the top of the mountain.
Watching the recruits behind him surpass him one by one, Qi Jiao felt very faceless, but at this time he was powerless. At the same time, he didn't have the energy to care about whether Ye Ying had any unfavorable behavior towards him, he just moved his steps with difficulty and moved towards the top of the mountain with difficulty.
Gander beside him had the intention to help Qi Jiao, but at this time he was also a little powerless, and it was impossible to drag Qi Jiao, who was like a hill.
However, Qi Jiao is also a very stubborn person, and she has no idea of giving up at all, but gritted her teeth and tried her best to climb in the direction of the top of the mountain.
"You kid, you actually took advantage of the danger of others, and when Lao Tzu recovers, he will definitely beat you all over the ground to find teeth."
Qi Jiao, who was trying to climb, suddenly felt a hand on his back, and turned his head to see that it was Ye Ying, who he had been targeting, and he couldn't help but secretly complain, because at this time, how could he have any power to fight back.
Gande, who had been following Qi Jiao, saw Ye Ying's sudden move, and originally wanted to help, but was blocked by Shan Fu and Zhao Hu on the side, one left and one right.
Qi Jiao, who was already exhausted, had no choice at this time, and was about to accept the fate of revenge, when he suddenly felt a warm current flowing into his body from Ye Ying's palm, and the fatigue of his whole body quickly eased a lot.
When Ye Ying withdrew his hand, Qi Jiao felt that she had strength again, and the pain of her feet was much better.
"You...... You...... What does that mean? Qi Jiao realized at this time that Ye Ying wanted to help herself.
"We're a group, don't hold us back." Ye Ying's words, Ye Ying said lightly, and then opened the distance between him and Qi Jiao.
Looking at Ye Ying's relaxed pace, Qi Jiao knew that Ye Ying obviously had the physical strength to run faster, but he didn't leave everyone behind because he was in a group with himself.
"It's just a fast run, what's the big deal, and I don't want to be a deserter on the battlefield." Listening to Ye Ying's words, Qi Jiao's face turned red, but she said unconvinced.
Maybe it was Ye Ying's push just now that gave Qi Jiao strength, or maybe it was stimulated by Ye Ying's words, Qi Jiao's pace was much faster, and she was finally able to follow everyone's pace.
In the next part of the road, whenever he couldn't hold on, Ye Ying could always help him, and the internal strength of the Zhimu Heart Sutra he cultivated was very useful for recovering his physical strength.
When Ye Ying and his party of five reached the top of the mountain, many people had already gathered in the open space on the mountain, and the battalion commander Cao Zhen had already arrived, and now he was also commanding people to distribute dry food and water to everyone with a relaxed face.
After a short rest, the five of them embarked on the journey back again, and the descent was much easier than the uphill, and the pace under everyone's feet was much faster.
Qi Jiao is a strong person, he always remembered what Ye Ying said to him when he went up the mountain, and when he went down the mountain, he tried his best to rush to the front, and even turned his head from time to time to look at Ye Ying who was following behind, he wanted to use practical actions to prove that he was not a person who dragged his feet.
But it didn't take too long for Qi Jiao to encounter difficulties, at this time, his two thighs were painful, and they became more and more intense, so that every time he raised his legs, it was extremely difficult.
Qi Jiao turned her head to look at Ye Ying behind her, and saw that he was still following behind him with a relaxed face, even with a faint smile.
"This guy must be laughing at Lao Tzu, and he must not be allowed to surpass himself." Such a thought flashed through Qi Jiao's mind, gritting her teeth to endure the pain in her legs, and always rushed in front of Ye Ying.
Gander always ran behind Qi Jiao, and Shan Fu and Zhao Hu followed behind Ye Ying, so Qi Jiao became the first person in the five-person group at this time.
But at this time, Qi Jiao was miserable, his burly body had become his biggest burden, and his two legs had almost twice the strength of others, and he had reached the edge of collapse. But he was still following Ye Ying closely behind him, and Qi Jiao ran in front with perseverance, gritting his teeth.
There is a somewhat steep slope ahead, and experienced people know that when going down the mountain at this time, you must control your speed, otherwise you may fall down.
Although Qi Jiao's experience in walking mountain roads was not as good as that of Ye Ying, who had been living in the mountains, he still understood this truth, so he was ready to control his pace and slow down his running.
But at this moment, Qi Jiao suddenly found that she couldn't control her legs anymore. Driven by inertia, Qi Jiao's pace not only did not slow down, but became faster and faster.
This section of the ramp is very long, if you fall down, even if you have thick skin and thick flesh, injury is unavoidable, Qi Jiao wants to stop herself at this time, she can't do it at all, so she can only helplessly let her inertia take her body and go down the hill quickly.
Gander, who was closest to Qi Jiao, had already discovered his predicament at this time, and wanted to reach out to pull Qi Jiao, but it was too late at this time, so he had to watch him go down the mountain.
Seeing that Qi Jiao was about to fall, a figure suddenly appeared behind Gander, caught up with Qi Jiao in front in a few steps, grabbed his arm, and then walked to the side, actually stopping Qi Jiao's huge body.
Gander saw clearly at this time that the person who suddenly came out and grabbed Qi Jiao was actually Ye Ying. It's just that he didn't think clearly, how could Ye Ying have such a fast speed? Also, Ye Ying, who doesn't seem to be strong, how could he pull Qi Jiao's big guy so easily.
And Qi Jiao, who was standing on the side of the road, didn't come back to his senses for a long time, because he was really frightened just now.
"I owe you a favor, and I will pay it back when I have the chance." After a long time, Qi Jiao eased up and said to Ye Ying, who was standing beside him.
"When going down the mountain, pay attention to controlling the speed, and don't hold on to it if you can't stick to it." Ye Ying didn't answer Qi Jiao's words, and as he spoke, he pinched and pressed Qi Jiao's thigh a few times with his hand.
It's strange to say, after Ye Ying simply pressed a few times, Qi Jiao felt that her legs were no longer so painful, and another familiar stream of heat flowed in Qi Jiao's legs a few times, and the fatigue was also reduced a lot.
It wasn't until this moment that Qi Jiao could be sure that Ye Ying had helped him in the same way when he went up the mountain. Qi Jiao, who also entered the realm of martial artists, knew that Ye Ying was using his internal strength to help himself. However, what Qi Jiao couldn't understand was why this guy's internal force had such a magical effect.
However, at this time, Qi Jiao also determined one thing, Ye Ying also entered the martial arts realm, which made his idea of "conquering" this guy stronger and stronger.
"Let's go, if we delay any longer, we won't be able to get back to the camp on time, I don't want to go hungry." Ye Ying didn't give Qi Jiao much time to think, he said directly, then turned around and began to go in the direction below.
The group returned to the road, but now it was Ye Ying and the three of them in front, and Qi Jiao and Gander followed behind.
However, not long after, Qi Jiao and the others discovered that Ye Ying and the three of them were indeed masters of chasing mountain roads, imitating their way to move forward, not to mention that the speed was much faster, and their bodies would not feel too tired.
"This kid is just good at running mountain roads, and if he gets to the battlefield, he has to rely on combat power to speak." Qi Jiao thought in her heart while hurrying.
The tent had already appeared in the eyes of several people, and when they looked at the sky, the sun was still hanging high, and several people cheered happily, and finally there was no need to go hungry at night.
