Chapter 13: A Thought of Life and Death
This day is longer than a year for the vast majority of new trainees. Although they come from different places, they are all attracted to them on the grounds that they are "better off than here". No one doesn't want to live well, and it would be better if they could make a difference.
But now, they have basically realized that it is not as beautiful as they were originally portrayed. The housing is not good, the clothing is not good, the food and drink are not good...... That's all there is to it, anyway, it wasn't much worse before. But that's not all, harsh military law can lead to deaths at any time, and the death is horrific.
Even if you can abide by military law and not make mistakes, it is not guaranteed to survive. This "Xuanhuang is scattered" is a sad hurdle. If you eat it, you may step over, but you may also be eliminated, and the end of elimination, the instructor has repeatedly emphasized, that is, death!
For a whole day, no one could muster up the courage to eat the pill, which looked swarthy and inconspicuous. Ling Ye sat on his bunk against the wall, looking at others coldly, and seeing everyone's expressions and demeanors. All of them were full of worries, and for a while they seemed to have made up their minds, showing a determined look, but after a while, they thought of something, and they hesitated again, repeatedly, and hesitated.
Maybe they are all waiting and seeing, wanting to see if there is the first person to take the pill, so that everyone can see with their own eyes, what will be the result after eating the pill?
Is the whole body suddenly enlarged and stronger, or does it fall to the ground and cry out while holding your stomach?
Even Lin Yuannan, who admitted that he had no way out, was hesitant, holding the medicine in the palm of his hand, looking at it again and again, muttering to himself, not knowing what he was talking about. After all, he is still young, and he looks about the same age as Ling Ye, and the road ahead may be very long. If you take a pill, you may die, and whoever changes it must weigh it carefully and weigh it again.
I got up in the middle of the night and walked to Lin Yuannan's side, and heard the chant in his mouth: "Mother, please forgive the child for being unfilial......"
Ling Ye looked at him, and a faint warmth arose in his heart. This teenager, the things he is carrying, are not easy at all!
Lin Yuannan noticed that there was one more person beside him, stopped chattering, and raised his head to look at him. The faint warmth in Ling Ye's eyes immediately disappeared, and it was replaced by a plain coldness: "Instead of chattering here, it's better to make up your mind as soon as possible, anyway, if you don't take this medicine, even if you don't die tomorrow, you will die later!"
As Ling Ye spoke, he raised his hand and put the "Xuanhuang Yisheng San" in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
Lin Yuannan looked at him in surprise: "You...... You ......"
The people around also noticed this and turned their heads to look. Ling Ye raised his hand and said coldly: "It's just a small pill, just swallow it in one gulp." No matter how much you think, you might as well do more. Anyway, if you don't take the medicine, you will definitely die in a few days, and maybe you will die even worse by then!"
A strong man stood up and said loudly: "According to me, we are not treated as human beings here at all, why should we be at the mercy of them, let us take medicine and let us die?"
His shouting was so loud that no one could hear it. The entire room turned their heads to stare at him, with different expressions.
The strong man continued: "Listen to me, there are so many of us, none of us are weak, and the weak will not come here! So, why don't we unite and resist in unison? Although we are born poor, are we born to be poor? Are we born to be oppressed by this group of imperial dog mongrels? Are they born to be superior to us?"
One of the people in the crowd nodded again and again, and echoed: "Yes! This can't be destined by God!"
Seeing that someone agreed, the strong man was obviously even happier, and shouted louder: "Come on, unite, seize the weapons of those dog mongrel imperial soldiers, hack those dog mongrel imperial people, and fight a bloody way out! Even if you die in battle, it will be more vigorous than dying here in such a humiliating way!"
A few big men in the crowd chimed in: "Yes! You're so right! I'll do it with you!"
The strong man was even more excited, raised his right hand high, waved it down, and threw the Xuanhuang in his hand to the ground: "Throw away this garbage, it is incompatible with these dog mongrel imperial army!"
was infected, and more than a dozen people followed his example, threw the Xuanhuang in their hands to the ground, and stepped on it vigorously, trampling it into a flat black mud. Among these dozen people, most of them are young and vigorous teenagers, and a few are big men. They quickly gathered together and said passionately, "Let's do it!"
"Wait!" The strong man in the lead made a gesture, and then walked straight to Ling Ye under the attention of everyone, and saluted him with a fist: "Brother, I can see that among our group, you are the most skilled. Join us! Let's smash these dog mongrels and make this sinful place disappear from this world!"
Before Ling Ye could answer, Lin Yuannan on the side was already full of paleness, and exclaimed, "You guys...... No, midnight, don't!"
Lin Yuannan said as he reached out and grabbed Ling Ye's arm. Ling Ye smiled faintly and said to the strong man in the lead: "Brother, I admire your courage and pride, but ...... Please listen to the movement outside!"
The strong man in the lead was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look out. The crowd also became agitated, and they all turned their heads to look at the door, but they didn't find anything unusual for a while.
Someone shouted, "Nothing! It's quiet outside......
Ling Ye said coldly: "Listen carefully!"
There was a sudden silence in the room, and everyone craned their necks and pricked up their ears to listen to the movement outside. Although they still don't know Ling Ye, after the "Iron Wolf Battle" and the "Bloody Case Caused by a Piece of Pork Belly", people have already understood that Ling Ye's skills will not be paper-paste, and he said that there is movement outside, so it will not be nonsense with his eyes closed.
In the silence, the sound of neat footsteps came slowly from all directions. Just listening to this momentum, a fool can figure out that this is the Imperial Army mobilizing a large group of soldiers to surround this place.
People's faces changed. Especially the person who shouted and threw away the pill with the strong man who followed the leader just now, his face was even more pale, his legs and stomach trembled, and the spirit that wanted to fight before suddenly flew away.
Just a few shouts attract a large group of people to surround it, what kind of rhythm is this?
The strong man in the lead also changed his face greatly, and roared wildly: "Someone outside heard us!"
