Chapter 118: Stubbornness
"Xiao Yunhe, come back quickly! You're crazy!" Lusan was frightened and shouted loudly from behind.
Xiao Yunhe didn't seem to hear it at all, he was still walking with difficult steps, and he couldn't run forward without knowing his head.
"General, he ......" Lu San wanted to catch up with Xiao Yunhe, but he turned back halfway through the run, and said to Shan Yan.
"You don't have to worry, he'll be fine. Shan Zhen looked at Xiao Yunhe's distant back, and his face was still very calm.
"It's the first time he's running for such a large amount, and he'll definitely faint if he doesn't run long......" Lusan exclaimed eagerly, and he had an inexplicable love for every recruit.
"If you faint, you faint, and among the people who are still standing here, who hasn't fainted? Shan Zhen quietly looked at Xiao Yunhe's back and said meaningfully, "What's more, his road is much wider than that of you and me." In the future, he will encounter even more sinister ordeals than he already has. ”
Xiao Yunhe didn't hear what Shan Zhen said now, and even if he did, he was afraid that he wouldn't have the energy to analyze the deep meaning of these words.
Now he can't remember what the question he thought about in the last lap was, and his only thought now is to be tired.
The chest cavity collided violently in front and back, and the lungs tried their best to suck air inside, but they could not always meet the body's needs, and the trachea rubbed back and forth, adding more pain to the already burning throat.
The chest cavity seemed to explode at any time, and Xiao Yunhe even felt that he had become a bellows now, and as long as he added more force, he would completely fall apart.
A pair of legs have long been unconscious, and at this time they are completely instinctively lifting their feet and falling, and they always have to stumble when they fall.
The two arms, resting on the wood on his shoulders, did not know if the five fingers were grasped at this time, and the only feeling he had left was unprecedented soreness, as if he would break off his two arms if he didn't let go and rest.
But Xiao Yunhe still didn't loosen up for half a minute, he maintained this posture, ignoring the tired signals transmitted by every organ in his body, and ran forward with difficulty and without hesitation.
His neck was already unable to straighten, Xiao Yunhe lowered his head, his eyes were blurred by sweat, and he lowered his head vaguely, and all he could see in front of him was a piece of yellow ground that flickered up and down in his sight.
Hang on...... Hang on...... Hold on! I can do it...... I can do it......
Xiao Yunhe panted with his mouth wide open, and his body swayed from side to side with the wood on his shoulder, which was even greater than the wood on it.
Sweat rained down, and the soaked clothes were soaked again after being dried by body temperature. In the end, it flowed too much, and Xiao Yunhe lost his sweat.
That's because his body is too dehydrated, sweat glands, and he can't secrete sweat.
The physiological system that regulates body temperature has been broken, and Xiao Yunhe's physical condition is getting worse and worse.
The body temperature is getting higher and higher, the brain is getting more and more groggy, and in the swaying, Xiao Yunhe only saw the only piece of earth yellow in front of him, which became bigger and bigger in his sight, and he almost hit his nose.
The amount of exercise beyond the limit, coupled with extreme dehydration, Xiao Yunhe's consciousness is no longer awake, and hallucinations have begun to appear.
He could already feel his nose rubbing against the ground, and Xiao Yunhe reached out and pushed forward, trying to push away the ground in front of him.
Of course, he couldn't push anything, but when he let go, the wood on his shoulder lost the fixation of one hand, and with a "bang", it was about to fall off down.
Xiao Yunhe was obviously extremely tired, and he couldn't even bend his fingers at this time. But at this time, it showed an unimaginable reflex, and the hand appeared like lightning to intercept the wood that had just fallen off, and with a hand of support, it was restored to its original position.
Then, Xiao Yunhe grabbed the two logs on his shoulders with both hands, and kept running forward, never letting go.
The whole body shook, Xiao Yunhe forgot about his tiredness, forgot about the purpose of running, and forgot about the dispute between Shan Zhen and Lu Sang.
There was only one thing he remembered, and that was running, running forward, until he reached the finish line, where he couldn't remember anymore.
"Yunhe, stop, stop, you're done, you can rest!"
I don't know how long it had been, as if it had been a century away, and Lussan's voice full of worry appeared first with his arm.
Being supported by Lu Sang's hands, Xiao Yunhe finally stopped, but his body was still trembling uncontrollably.
"Yunhe, how are you? Can you still hear me?" Lu Sang held Xiao Yunhe's body hard, and the worry in his heart became more and more serious.
The bodies of the two were leaning together, and he could clearly feel the trembling of Xiao Yunhe's body.
It's not fear, it's a twitch of the muscles. After running such a distance far beyond the limits of the body, the overwhelmed muscles have already convulsed.
Lu San tentatively let go of his hands, seeing that Xiao Yunhe did not fall, his heart was slightly relieved, but when he reached out and wanted to put the wood on Xiao Yunhe's shoulder, he ran into trouble again.
Xiao Yunhe's hands seemed to grow together with the wood, and the five fingers were stuck in the wood, and from the outside, only the root of the palm could be seen.
"Yunhe, let go!" Lu Sang shouted in Xiao Yunhe's ear.
Xiao Yunhe didn't react, lowered his head and didn't say a word, and his ten fingers still didn't move.
Lu San stretched out his hand and grabbed one of Xiao Yunhe's hands, trying to break Xiao Yunhe's fingers away, but he couldn't break it.
Sawdust flowed from between his fingers, but Lu San still didn't separate Xiao Yunhe's fingers a little.
He didn't dare to push any harder, and if he broke it any harder, he would break Xiao Yunhe's fingers.
Lu San couldn't, so he leaned into Xiao Yunhe's ear and shouted: "Yunhe, you're done with the race! It's over! It's over! You can let go and rest!"
This time, Xiao Yunhe finally had a reaction.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze moving forward little by little.
The person he was looking at was not Lusang, but Shan Zhen, who was standing not far away.
Looking at Xiao Yunhe's eyes, Lu Sang's heart tightened again.
Xiao Yunhe's eyes have begun to whiten, sweat has glued the upper and lower eyelashes together, God knows, how he relied on these eyes to accurately find the position of Shan Yan.
looked at Shan Zhen, but Xiao Yunhe didn't say a word, just looked at each other directly.
Shan Zhen understood the meaning in Xiao Yunhe's eyes, and he slowly spoke: "You have fulfilled your promise." Now, you can let go!"
When the words fell, Xiao Yunhe nodded lightly, and then, with a roll of his eyes, he fell directly to the ground.
The wood on his shoulders was pressed to the ground with his body.
But the amazing thing is that even if he fell to the ground, even if he had passed out, his ten fingers were still deeply sunk in those two pieces of wood, and they were still clenched as tightly as before.
......
After a bunch of bizarre dreams, Xiao Yunhe woke up.
As soon as he woke up, he hadn't opened his eyes yet, and the intense soreness that came from all over his body made him moan involuntarily.
"Awake?" a gentle voice with a hint of surprise sounded in front of Xiao Yunhe.
Xiao Yunhe opened his eyes weakly, and saw Lu Sana's honest face.
"I'm still alive, right?" Xiao Yunhe reluctantly tugged at the corners of his mouth and made a joke.
"I'm still alive, but I'm almost dead...... Lu San sighed, his eyes mixed with blame and concern, which made Xiao Yunhe's heart warm.
Xiao Yunhe smiled weakly, and he no longer had the strength to laugh again.
"You know what? In our barracks, for more than ten years, except for General Shan, no one has been able to complete the journey with two logs on his back. You, on the other hand, have doubled the amount. Now, everyone admires you very much!" Lu Sang understood Xiao Yunhe's current weakness, and deliberately gossiped with him to distract him.
"General Shan has also been punished?" This is big news, Xiao Yunhe never thought that the ruffian general would have the same experience as himself.
"Of course! In our barracks, among the more than 7,000 people up and down, there is not a single one who has not received this kind of punishment! Basically, every recruit can't catch up with the drill at the beginning of the first day! But there is really no second one who can do it like you!" Lu San looked at Xiao Yunhe with a smile, and he couldn't tell whether he was admiring or helpless in his eyes.
"Brother Lu, is that little brother awake?" Lu Sang was talking to Xiao Yunhe when a human head suddenly came in from outside the door, and asked inside.
"Wake up, you bastards, come in if you want to come in!" said Lu San casually without rolling his eyelids, showing the familiar relationship between the two.
"Little brother, you're finally awake!" The head came in when he heard the sound, and a huge black man appeared in front of Xiao Yunhe's eyes, and said with surprise.
"Hello!" The pure and unadulterated color in the other party's eyes made Xiao Yunhe feel more intimate and greet him for the first time.
"It's good to wake up!" the big man touched his head innocently, then slapped his head and shouted, "Hey! I almost forgot!"
As he spoke, he reached into his arms and fumbled for a while before reaching out from within.
Then, he held his hands in front of Xiao Yunhe.
In the center of both hands is a rough-textured paper bag, several ropes tightly tied.
"This is the seed of the rat's tail that I picked when I was in the mountains before, and if you soak it in water and drink it, you will soon be able to regain your strength!" said the big man sincerely, his eyes full of enthusiasm.
"The ...... of the rat's tail Seeds?" Xiao Yunhe was stunned, what is this saying? The tail of a mouse can still grow seeds?
He said the name of the local people, the rat's tail, which is the red bearded sage that grows on the Maoming Mountain, and its seeds can make people quickly recover. It's a good thing, the big cow gave it to you, you can take it!" Lusan explained.
"This is too precious, I can't accept it! I'm fine, just get some sleep! I don't need such a valuable medicinal herb!" Hearing the name Lu Sang said, Xiao Yunhe's face changed slightly, and he quickly refused.
He had always lived in Yuancheng and had never seen this kind of red-bearded sage that only grew in this vast desert, but that didn't mean he didn't know the true value of this medicinal herb.
Although the desert area in northern Xinjiang is extremely vast, this very rare and precious herb can only be seen on the top of some extremely remote and steep wild mountain peaks.
Among them, the seeds of red-whiskered sage are the essence of this herb.
Just now Lu San said that it can make people quickly recover, which means that he does not really understand the true value of this medicinal material. Not only can it make people recover quickly, but it can almost make a dying person with a dying breath replenish his vitality in an instant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has the effect of "bringing the dead back to life".
And this is just the original seed, if it goes through a series of refining and refining, with the assistance of several other medicinal materials, to make those several priceless and out-of-print pills, then its value will be doubled.
According to Xiao Yunhe's estimate, if this package of medicine is taken outside, even if it is sold for a thousand taels of silver, there will be no problem.
And now, the stranger in front of him, who couldn't even name him, actually handed it to him so directly, without expecting anything in return.
"What is precious or not, this is what I picked when I was on the mountain, although it is a little difficult to find, but it is nothing! You can take it, it's not a rare thing!" Da Niu saw that Xiao Yunhe refused to accept it, but he was a little anxious, and handed the hand that reached out to the front to the front.
"I really can't take it! This is too precious! I ......" Xiao Yunhe still didn't dare to accept it, he had been working hard for his livelihood since he was a child, but he knew how heavy the weight of money was.
"It's not cool!" Da Niu said this, threw the paper bag on Xiao Yunhe's chest, and drilled out again with a twist of his head.
A heavy footstep has faded away.
"Brother Lu, this ......" Xiao Yunhe looked at the small paper bag on his chest, but felt a little heavy.
"Give it to you and take it, this thing may be really valuable outside, but in the barracks, money is not a measure of a qiē. "I didn't expect Lusan to say such philosophical things.
"That ...... Is he called Da Niu?" Xiao Yunhe didn't even have the strength to reach out and pick it up now, and after listening to Lu Sang's words, he had no choice but to acquiesce to this result, and then began to ask about the situation of this warm-hearted strong man.
"Well, although Da Niu's brain is a little not very good, but he has a pure mind and is very good to people. If you have any problems in the future and can't find me, it's okay to find him, and he will definitely not refuse!" said Lusan with a smile, as if talking about his own child, with a faint pride in his eyebrows.
"What's Da Niu's surname?" Xiao Yunhe asked casually.
Lu San was silent, and his slightly smiling face was gradually shrouded in gloom.
"What's wrong? Did I say the wrong thing?" Xiao Yunhe really didn't know what was wrong with his simple question.
"Da Niu doesn't have a surname, he is called Da Niu. Lusan said in a deep voice.
"How could it be?" Xiao Yunhe had never heard of such a thing, a person like him who was deprived of his family name by his family was a rare sight in a hundred years, and he found his real surname after that.
Having a name and a surname is the mark that a normal person should have.
"Da Niu really doesn't have a surname, and even he doesn't know what his surname is. We found him in a village that had been sacked by barbarians. At that time, when we arrived, the whole village had been killed, and the barbarians had gone, leaving only the corpses of the village, and not even a single living animal could be found. This is not the first time we have been in this situation, we thought it was too late again, but when we walked to a courtyard, we suddenly heard a cry. We followed the direction from which the sound came, and picked up the bloody corpses, and finally at the bottom of the floor, the big cow was pulled out. ”
"At that time, he was still holding the body of a little girl in his arms, all covered in blood, and when we asked him anything, he would only say that his name was Da Niu, and he would not say anything except this sentence, only crying vigorously. We had no choice but to take him to the barracks and walk with him, where we have remained until now. And even after all that time, he can't say what he went through. He only remembered that his sister died in front of him. The little girl was his sister. Since then, he has been stimulated too much, and his brain has always been not very good, but as soon as he goes to the battlefield, he is like a different person, and no one is as desperate as he kills. When we asked him why he was so desperate, he would say that he was avenging his sister. ”
Lu Sang's words were finished, but Xiao Yunhe was silent.
Again, when he heard the word "barbarian", it was not surprising that it was accompanied by a memory of blood and tears.
Every inch of land in the north seems to be soaked in the blood of the souls of the barbarians' butcher's knives.
"Everyone here is burdened with a blood feud with the barbarians. Later, you will understand it slowly. Lusan said this, and slowly stood up, he was leaving.
"You have a good rest here, today, you don't have any tasks. But by tomorrow, you won't be able to do that anymore. Although there is no need to fight as a logistics soldier, there is a lot of work, and it is not easy. Tomorrow you will be very tired, take care of your strength!" Lu Sang instructed Xiao Yunhe, turned around, and went out.
"Brother Lu, do you have the same hatred?" Xiao Yunhe looked at Lu Sang's distant back and suddenly asked.
"Me?" Lu Sang turned his head to look at Xiao Yunhe, smiled lonely, spit out a word, turned around and continued to walk forward.
"Absolutely. Going out, Lusan replied in a low voice, and the darkness floated in.
Xiao Yunhe looked at the empty tent, and there was more thought in his eyes.
