"The glory lies in the dullness, and the hardship lies in the long time."
On the way, he said to me.
When I came to the military camp, I gradually realized the true meaning of the second half of this sentence.
When the man nodded in approval, I finally realized my wish. I followed him all the way into the military camp.
As soon as I entered the camp gate, I was deeply shocked by a team uniformly dressed in black and with neat military appearance.
The experiences that followed kept hammering my heart. Walking into the military camp meant that I was no longer the person I used to be.
As a newcomer, when I first entered the camp and faced the new environment and unfamiliar faces, I would inevitably feel fearful and uncomfortable.
As soon as I joined the team, I went through a 500-mile weight-bearing march training with them.
When we reached three hundred miles, I could no longer hold on.
When they saw that I was in poor condition, my teammates around me were very enthusiastic and asked me to adjust my breathing and pace. With their encouragement and help, I made it to the last 500 meters.
When I saw the winding mountain road, I felt like giving up, but I still gritted my teeth and persisted, following the large army up the mountain.
Halfway through the journey, I couldn't hold on any longer, my legs went weak and I fell to the ground.
They took off my backpack and put it on my back. Two teammates supported me, who was exhausted, and we arrived at the finish line with the large army.
The man just stood there with a bright smile.
But at that moment, in my heart, I felt like a devil.
He only let us rest for a short quarter of an hour, and then asked us to squat with weights in a mud puddle.
My teammates are very excited, but I don't understand what's there to be excited about.
In extreme exhaustion, I fell into the cold muddy water. My whole body was trembling, and my teeth couldn't stop chattering.
I numbly squatted down, stood up, and squatted down again.
As the slogans became louder and louder, my ups and downs became faster and faster.
I felt my body getting hotter and hotter, and a clear current in the muddy water penetrated into my skin and traveled through my meridians.
Number 65 next to me told me that this was a specially prepared potion by that person, which can broaden the meridians of our body and increase the speed of cultivation.
I finally understood why they were so looking forward to it.
I was so excited inside that I no longer felt tired, but full of energy.
I felt that the long-standing barriers to my cultivation were beginning to loosen. With a bang, I officially entered the middle stage of foundation building from the early stage of foundation building.
This training lasted until late at night.
At the beginning of the morning, after two hours of rest and sleep, we set off from here and rushed back to the military camp.
But this time there was no weight, and our marching speed was twice as fast as when we came.
When we returned to the military camp again, we were waiting in line. People in the military camp looked at our team with envious eyes and talked about it in the distance.
On a training ground, many people were moving around and passing through many obstacles.
Once again, I was attracted by this novel training program and novel method.
No. 65 told me that that will be our training program later, but unlike those people, we will have strict time limits.
No. 65 smiled and said that there was no such training subject in the military camp originally. It was that person who innovated it, and then others followed suit and came up with another one.
From their words, I could feel their admiration for that person, and the reverence in their hearts, which was beyond words.
When the sun rose, the man finally appeared.
With a smile on his face, he said that as long as we complete the physical training on time today, he will teach us military boxing.
At first, we were all confused about what Juntiquan was. When he said it was the fighting boxing technique he used in his contest with Captain Li that day, everyone was excited.
Yes, everyone.
His voice was so loud that everyone in the camp could hear it. People at the other training ground stopped training and came to the sidelines to cheer us on and make sure we complete the physical training within the time limit.
I didn't understand why they were so excited, but after two hours, I knew what Juntiquan was and saw its charm.
This is a boxing technique for strengthening the body, and it is also a technique for killing enemies.
The man gave Juntiquan to everyone in the camp, and everyone learned it seriously.
Half a month passed in a flash.
Through this half month of collective training, I gradually became familiar with them and spent unforgettable time together here.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed since I arrived at the military camp. Time flies so fast!
I remember that when I first stepped into this military camp, I was still a young boy who didn't know anything. Everything here felt strange and novel.
When I first joined this unit, there was a lot of training that I still couldn't bear, but my teammates were very friendly and kind. It was their encouragement and help that allowed me to persist all the way to where I am now.
In this half month, everyone has broken through to the foundation building stage, and some people who have accumulated a lot have entered the golden elixir stage.
In the past half month, I have entered the late stage of foundation building.
Such a speed of cultivation is really unimaginable.
Also shocked were the teammates in the team.
However, what was even more shocking was the other people in the military camp, especially a white-robed young man who led a team of a thousand people.
No. 65 told me that this was our first opponent after training.
The young general in white robe made an appointment with that man for a military exercise competition, which is why our team was born.
It took half a month to complete the first stage, and in the next ten days, I heard that the second stage of training would be carried out.
The man said it was wilderness survival training.
Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow!
Entering the military camp means going through wind and rain, going through hardships, and finally transforming into growth.
I am no longer the person I used to be, I am stronger and more confident now. Entering here, I know it will be difficult to see my mother and little sister again.
But here, although my teammates are not relatives, they are better than relatives. With their company, I will never feel lonely. All lovers are homesick, and the longing in my heart can't help but emerge.
One night, I looked at the sky alone for a long time and thought of my mother and little sister in Changping County.
I think they must be missing me too.
As I thought about it, a silent pain surged into my heart.
"What are you thinking about when you're still up so late?"
At some point, the man sat next to me.
"I miss home! I miss my mother and my little sister..."
I replied.
He smiled, so naturally.
he tells me.
"Actually, it's normal to miss home, and they will also miss me. But what I'm doing now is a meaningful thing. I'm getting stronger and can give them better protection. It won't be like a month ago.
They were so powerless and howling, so angry and helpless. The moment I entered here, I was using my own life to protect them in another way."
"I still protect the country behind me in this way. This is to protect the country. I should feel honored and proud. He said that my mother and little sister will also be proud of me..."
At that moment, I was relieved.
I laughed, smiled happily...
[Author's digression]: I wrote this chapter with a heavy heart. It was also the first time I wrote it in the first person, just to better reflect my own emotions.
Looking back on all the past events, the sounds, faces, smiles and faces seem to be vivid in my mind.
This is a kind of nostalgia and a kind of remembrance!
After all, my writing skills are still not enough. I have revised it repeatedly for a long time, and this is the only way I can do it.
I hope book friends who like it can leave a ticket for "Gods and Demons" and give a ticket to support~
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I write here to wish you a happy New Year! My deep friendship and blessings, my endless thoughts and greetings, and I hope you will be happy and healthy in the Year of the Tiger!
