Chapter Seventy-Three: Fulfillment of the Covenant
Barracks No. 103.
Li Dayong held a cup of steaming coffee, standing by the door, a strong aroma dispersed around, looking at the young students on the training ground from afar, his eyes showed a trace of nostalgia, once upon a time, he also stood on the training ground, swaying his youth, in the blink of an eye, people are middle-aged, can only watch the juniors sweat.
"Boss Li, why did you drink coffee? Didn't you always think that thing was unhealthy?" Yin Yanling walked over at some point.
"Remind me, there have been too many things lately, and my energy can't keep up. Li Dayong said with a smile.
What he said was only the superficial reason, the real reason was that after experiencing the events in Black Dragon Valley, his view of life had changed greatly, and he was a little tired of the strict living habits in the past, and found that living a long life was not enviable, and sometimes living casually was a better choice.
"Tsk, you can see it!" Yin Yanling smacked her lips and deliberately made an exaggerated expression.
"Say, what's the matter?" Li Dayong was unmoved.
"Boss, how do you talk? I have to come to you because of something? Can't I come and talk?"
"Seeing that the students are about to graduate, you're going crazy over there, aren't you?
"Hehe, when you say that, I remember, I really have something to look for you, do you remember the bet that Pang Xie kid made with my junior sister?"
"Yes. ”
"Which of them do you think will win?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"Pang Xie's kid was recruited by me, and Zhou Xuerong is my junior sister, I don't look good on my face who wins and who loses, besides, didn't you say it last time, Pang Xie has a life-saving grace for you, and you still don't help him?"
"There's no need, just lose, I found that kid is very thick-skinned, even if he walks back to Chang'an City barefoot from here, it's nothing to him. ”
"You are really forgiving, what if Zhou Xuerong loses?"
"No, she is the examiner in charge of the physical fitness test, if she really doesn't want Tian Qi to pass, can Tian Qi still pass?" Li Dayong brought a meaningful smile on his face.
"Don't! My junior sister is not this kind of person! Tian Qi will definitely be qualified this time!"
"Isn't it that you haven't tested it yet? Are you sure that your junior sister will lose?" Li Dayong took a sip of coffee.
"I... To tell you the truth, I have been paying attention to Tian Qiting recently, and I don't know what method Pang Xie used, that kid has made a lot of progress now, and Senior Sister Zhou will lose this gamble. ”
"So what are you looking for me to do?"
"Senior Sister Zhou has a strong temperament, if she really loses, she can't get off the stage in public, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it. I'm here to get you to intervene and stop this gamble. ”
Speaking of this, Yin Yanling's face turned solemn, and her tone became formal, no longer joking.
Li Dayong didn't answer directly, turned around and went back to the house, put down the coffee in his hand, and then turned around and said: "Yanling, after you left the national long-distance running team, you have been doing things in the company. But you have to know that Xuerong is different from you, she is a soldier, every decision of a soldier is not only related to her own safety, but also affects the entire battle situation, if you make a wrong decision, the consequence is death, and if you make the right decision, the consequence is life, there is no ambiguity in the middle, and the enemy will not discuss with you. So, I think as a soldier, you must first understand one thing, since you have made a decision, you have to suffer the consequences, and you can't expect others to solve the problem for you. ”
Yin Yanling's brows furrowed, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth.
"Having said that, Brigade Commander Yuan entrusted me to take care of the 316 base, but it is only within the scope of official affairs, and does not include private affairs. Li Dayong said in a deep voice.
"I'm still worried, my junior sister is very arrogant, thin-skinned, and the most fierce, and it is also for this reason that I can bet with Pang Xie. ”
"Don't worry, let me ask you, how long have you been talking to Zhou Xuerong?" Li Dayong suddenly asked.
"It's been about three or four years. Yin Yanling said hesitantly.
"Then what you know is only her on campus, today's her, her in the army, do you really understand?"
"This..."
"Go and see, Zhou Xuerong may not be as you think, maybe she can face failure more correctly than you. ”
"Oh..."
......
Leaving the No. 103 barracks, Yin Yanling strolled to the other end of the training ground, thinking about Li Dayong's words while walking, walking, suddenly patted his thigh, and said angrily: "Damn, why did you let Boss Li fool if you weren't careful, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, how can Senior Sister Zhou change her personality so easily!"
As he spoke, he quickened his pace, and a few minutes later, when he came to the other end of the field, he saw Zhou Xuerong and Pang Xie standing side by side, surrounded by more than a dozen students, all staring at a student who was being tested in the training ground, this person was Tian Qi.
Before Yin Yanling could open her mouth, she heard Zhou Xuerong gently spit out the words "Tian Qi 5 points", these four words.
As soon as these four words came out, dozens of students around them turned their heads at the same time and looked at Zhou Xuerong in unison, these people obviously remembered the gambling contract three months ago, and wanted to see if Zhou Xuerong would really fulfill the contract. There are also many students who set their eyes on Pang Xie, wanting to see if Pang Xie dares to fulfill the contract and really accept Zhou Xuerong as an apprentice.
Of course, in Yin Yanling's view, there is no difference between these two kinds of people, and they both belong to the kind that is not a big deal to watch the excitement.
For a while, there was silence on the training ground, as if they were waiting for Zhou Xuerong to say the next word.
When Yin Yanling saw this scene, her eyes couldn't help but darken, and she secretly said in her heart that it was not good, but she was afraid that today would be another turmoil.
Before he could figure out how to turn the situation around, he saw Zhou Xuerong turn his head and look at Pang Xie who was standing side by side, his face was cold, his posture was straight, and his eyes were fixed on Pang Xie's face, with an indescribable meaning.
Pang Xie didn't look at Zhou Xuerong, he looked into the distance, looking at the mountains in the distance, his hands in his pockets, and he hummed a song in his mouth that he didn't know where it was, as if he didn't notice Zhou Xuerong's gaze at all.
"It's going to be bad!" Yin Yanling secretly screamed in her heart, Pang Xie's attitude, she was afraid that she would stimulate Zhou Xuerong, so she hurriedly rushed to the middle of the two and said loudly: "Are you both here?
As soon as the words came out, the eyes of all the students around them moved away from Zhou Xuerong and Pang Xie, and looked at Yin Yanling together.
Looking at everyone's eyes, Yin Yanling suddenly reacted, and her first thought was to slap her mouth, which pot she really didn't open.
Fortunately, Pang Xie and Zhou Xuerong ignored him, as if they hadn't heard him.
......
"Pongsie!"
After a long time, Zhou Xuerong suddenly opened her mouth, and her voice was cold, as if ice cubes were stuffed into her neck in winter, which made people feel excited.
"What's wrong?" Pang Xie turned his head and seemed to find Zhou Xuerong standing beside him.
"I... I will worship you as a teacher. ”
Yin Yanling felt that she must be dreaming, or there was a fake Zhou Xuerong standing in front of her, how could the arrogant girl in his impression easily admit defeat to others. The surrounding students were in an uproar, but they didn't expect Zhou Xuerong to be so direct and didn't mean to hide it at all.
"Forget it, I still have a lot to learn, and I really don't have time to be a teacher. Pang Xie glanced at Zhou Xuerong and shook his head.
Yin Yanling let out a sigh of relief, Pang Xie was finally not too arrogant, and really accepted Zhou Xuerong's apprentice. Most of the surrounding students were a little disappointed by Pang Xie's words, and some even let out a soft sneer.
"I sincerely worship you as a teacher, not because I lost the bet to you, please don't refuse. Zhou Xuerong insisted.
"Why?"
"According to my training style, after three months of training, Tian Qi could only score 3 points at most, barely passing this test. I know some trainers with an international reputation, and even if they are smarter than me, they are not too clever and at most they can get him four points. 5 points is too high, you can let Tian Qi get this score, there must be a more clever training method than I know, I want to learn, please accept me as a disciple. ”
When she said the first sentence, Zhou Xuerong's voice was still a little hesitant, but by now, her voice had completely firmed up, and there was no hesitation in her tone.
Yin Yanling was really shocked, Zhou Xuerong's performance was completely different from what he imagined, could it be that what Li Dayong said was true, after several years of military career, Zhou Xuerong has changed a lot, and she is no longer the arrogant little girl in his memory.
The surrounding students quieted down again, quietly thinking about Zhou Xuerong's words, and many of them had thoughtful expressions on their faces.
"No, I can't. Ponsie shook his head again.
"Why?" asked Zhou Xuerong rhetorically this time.
"To be honest, I don't have the ability to do this right now, it's all up to luck that he can get to this point. ”
Pang Xie's words were not wrong, when the vitality of heaven and earth was strong, the breathing method he passed on to Tian Qi with a strong pill might have this kind of miracle effect, but if the vitality of the world is weak, although these methods have an effect, but the effect is not great, Tian Qi can practice to this point, all by the effect of snake blood.
Snake blood, use one drop and one drop, and when it runs out, there is nowhere to find it.
What Zhou Xuerong wants to learn is a skill, but he doesn't, he really can't teach it.
"I have studied kinesiology for more than ten years, there is no luck in this field, every bit of progress is full of wisdom and sweat, do you think I am right?" Zhou Xuerong did not believe Pang Xie's words.
"This is your opinion, I can't change it, since none of us can convince anyone, let's stop talking about this, as for the matter of apprenticeship, let's not mention it again. ”
"Whatever your opinion, I want to be a teacher"
"But I don't really have anything to teach. ”
"It's okay, it really can't be fake, I believe in my eyes, it's okay if you don't want to accept me today, I'll let you see my sincerity." ”
Ponche nodded and said nothing. Zhou Xuerong lowered her head, bowed to Pang Xie, and turned to leave.
Yin Yanling stood aside, looking at Zhou Xuerong's distant figure, and suddenly understood.
When she was in school, Zhou Xuerong was the most serious person about academics, she was thin-skinned and fierce, and she was more unconvinced academically, so many years have passed, her seriousness towards academics has not changed, and she bet with Pang Xie a few days ago because of the disagreement on the major, not for Pang Xie as a person. It's a pity that even Li Dayong can see it, as Xuerong's senior brother, he didn't see it.
I think back then, when I was in the national long-distance running team, I was also a person who was extremely serious about my profession, and now...
Is it because I have changed, but in life, who can stick to the original intention, forge ahead, and not be changed by the world, but change the world?
Thinking of this, Yin Yanling suddenly turned her head, and when she saw Pang Xie standing tall in the field, she couldn't help but have a thought, maybe this person can!
