Time: Five days after Hu Biao and others arrived at Dou Gujunzhong, when the sky was just getting bright.
Location: One or two hundred miles west of Khotan, on the western edge of the Taklimakan Desert, in a place called Hongbai Mountain by the local barbarians.
This place was selected by Yang Dongli and others as the location of the training base. It stretches for more than a hundred miles and reaches the mountains of the Taklimakan Desert. It is still famous in later generations.
It was called Shenshan Mountain in the Tang Dynasty, Xinshan Mountain in Tubo, and Tongsheng Mountain in the Song Dynasty. It means "grave mountain" in Uyghur, and is also known as Hongbai Mountain.
Of course, these are not important at all to Lao Yang and others. What matters is how long they can train a trusted confidant.
Then use this trusted force as a team to form a larger team with a certain fighting capacity.
When the rising sun illuminates the Gobi desert, which has only a few wild grasses and shrubs and looks somewhat deserted.
The former shepherd slave carrying a three-meter-long log weighing more than 100 kilograms on his shoulders is now Fan Lie, who is rumored to be one of the "bald bandits".
He was running forward with great difficulty, feeling like he was about to die every time he took a step forward.
The only thing that makes him happy is that he is not the only one who is suffering so hard now.
There were a total of 122 former slaves beside him, as well as in the front and back positions. They were almost all in the same shape now, and they were all running with great difficulty.
Every time he took a step forward, Fan Lie could feel the heavy pressure on his shoulders, as if he was about to collapse and fall to the ground.
The breathing sound between the nasal cavity was as heavy as an old cow that was about to die.
But even so, Fan Lie gritted his teeth and continued running forward.
Even if he might run to death in the next moment, and he didn't even know why the leaders wanted them to do this?
All because they finally got rid of their status as slaves a few days ago.
Although so far, I have only been allocated my own weapons, armor, horses, tents and other things; the other promised cattle, sheep, big-assed women, etc., are simply not available.
But Leader Yang and the others said that if they want these things, there is no problem, so just follow them and grab them.
Before that, you need to polish your body and practice your martial arts first.
No one, including Fan Lie, had the slightest objection to such a statement; because this has been the case in the Western Regions since ancient times.
When you want something, your first thought is not how hard you will work to buy it or trade it; it is about getting on your horse and carrying weapons to find where you can get it.
Since the leaders said that polishing the body in this way is effective and will be good for robbing things in the future, then polish it to death.
Just be sure to take them with you when you go to rob.
In this way, every morning when the sky was not completely bright, they would be woken up directly by the two leaders, Fengrui and Lao Hei, with sticks.
Then one person carries such a heavy piece of wood and runs a distance of reportedly five kilometers.
So what is five kilometers? How far is it exactly?
Fan Lie didn't have a specific concept, but he knew that every time he needed to squeeze out the last bit of strength before he could run to the place.
Of course, not everyone can persist in such a torturous training; but it doesn't matter, the leaders will help them well.
No! Soon, Fan Lie's ears heard the sharp leader's high-pitched curses filled with anger:
"Run, come on, run. You are more useful than a maggot in the gutter, a mouse that only hides in a hole, or a little lamb that has not yet been weaned."
How dare you care about a woman with a big ass because of your useless appearance? Even if I give you one, I can't do anything with her even if she looks as weak as a bitch like you."
Without looking back, a picture like this appeared in Fan Lie's mind:
The sharp-edged leader with a furious look on his face held a stick in his hand and beat the guys running at the back with all their might, showing no mercy.
Then, those guys were like frightened rabbits, running fast all of a sudden.
Regarding the above situation, Fan Lie was not surprised at all, how novel it was!
In the past few days, whenever they did anything wrong or slow, the leaders would come over with sticks, fists, and soles of their feet.
The strength in his hands and feet will show no mercy at all.
Anyway, Fan Lie has only been feeling better in the past day or two. He had been beaten so hard before, and it was really painful to have that thing on his body.
But then again, when the screams from other people's mouths reached his ears, Fan Lie's tiredness suddenly felt better.
Suddenly, I feel like I can do it again...
****
About twenty minutes later, Fan Lie finally finished the five-kilometer cross-country run with heavy loads.
The moment he ran into the temporary camp, he immediately threw away the log on his shoulders, knelt on the ground and gasped for air.
At this moment, his heart was filled with an indescribable joy.
Not only was he finally able to get through the biggest ordeal in the morning, but more importantly, the breakfast time he was looking forward to had arrived.
Unfortunately, it was only after following Leader Yang and others that Fan Lie learned that people can actually eat three meals a day.
And in terms of food, there are so many types of food, including steamed buns, steamed buns, porridge, noodles, braised, stewed, stir-fried, fried. It can be said that I have never heard of it, not to mention eating it.
If there is anything I am dissatisfied with, it is that these leaders have too many rules.
For example, after taking a breather, Fan Lie and his companions came to the mountain stream next to the camp.
First, he used a willow branch stained with salt to wash the teeth in his mouth carefully; then he used a piece of linen cloth to wash his head, face and hands.
After washing, Fan Lie took a closer look to see if there was any black mud in the gaps between his nails. If so, he needed to continue washing them.
Why? Because if the leaders see him, they will come up and beat him up.
In this way, after taking the time to wash up, Fan Lie began to line up before several mouthfuls were lined up for the big pot.
You read that right, no matter how unruly people were in the past, now they will queue up conscientiously no matter what they do, and no one dares to squeeze through.
Because those who dare to jump in line are now frightened by the leaders and others.
Today's morning food was millet porridge and mutton dumplings. Six women from the West City bought them and started getting up in the middle of the night to prepare them.
Fan Lie finished three bowls of porridge and four steamed buns larger than his fists in one go before he stopped.
However, after eating, Fan Lie did not dare to run around at all, but hurriedly ran towards a special toilet, preparing to take a rest and regain his strength after peeing.
In two quarters of an hour, new training will begin again.
Today's training should be the same as yesterday. The first thing is to shoot 100 times. You must hit the target 80% of the time, otherwise you won't be able to eat lunch.
During such a process, Fan Lie was horrified to find that what he urinated was actually blood.
With the fear that he was about to die, he immediately found the goddess in his heart; that one was not actually the maid of the bald leaders, but Ali, who was also the leader.
After listening to the thin young man in front of him, his mouth was full of frightened explanations.
Ah Li said nonchalantly: "It's okay. He won't die. Eat more fruit and the blood will be normal after urinating for two days."
It's not that Ali is heartless, because she has long heard about it from veterans of the PLA such as Fengrui, Lao Hei, and many PLA recruits have encountered this situation.
There are many causes, the biggest of which is hematuria caused by high-intensity training.
This is just an unusual phenomenon, so there is no need to worry at all. This is also the biggest reason why they have been providing rich and nutritious food as much as possible.
When I was in Xicheng, I bought a lot of sheep just for this purpose.
So, Fan Lie has nothing wrong with him. Even because of the good food, his face now has a little more flesh and a healthy rosiness...
