Zhang Laifu stood under the faucet, cold water pouring down directly from his shoulders. This child who grew up in the Northeast had purple lips, clenched his hands into fists, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Brother Lu, is this really okay?"
For a moment, Zhang Laifu couldn't help but ask again.
Cold!
It’s too cold!
The camp is in a mountainous area. In the mountainous area in October, the temperature is already low at night, plus the mountain spring water.
Zhang Laifu felt cold to his heart when it rained down from his body. Even a child like him, who grew up in the north, was shivering from the cold.
Chen Lu stood far away and said loudly: "You have asked me this several times. Don't worry, this will definitely be useful. Isn't this just an example?"
It turned out that the two reached an agreement, and Chen Lu used the secret of becoming stronger in exchange for Zhang Laifu's method of writing thoughts and insights.
Chen Lu told him that the secret to becoming stronger was to take cold showers every day.
Zhang Laifu gritted his teeth and looked at Chen Lu.
Indeed, the pervert in front of me insists on taking a shower every day, but what does getting stronger have to do with taking a cold shower?
Chen Lu seemed to understand Zhang Laifu's doubts, and then explained: "This can improve people's reaction ability, which is useful for fighting and marksmanship."
"Think about it, cold water mainly stimulates the pores. If you can control the closing of the pores, it will be like a cat. If someone steps on it, its fur will explode, and its reaction ability is faster than that of a snake..."
Chen Lu boasted seriously, it doesn’t cost any money anyway.
Zhang Laifu clenched his hands into fists and hugged them tightly to his chest, while his brain was analyzing rapidly.
Improving reaction ability can improve fighting and marksmanship?
Wait, the squad leader seems to have said that Chen Lu's reaction ability is very fast, and not just once.
The first time was when everyone was standing on his head. Chen Lu could easily stand on his head, but he couldn't stop himself. Later, the squad leader tied his feet and body with a tree trunk to stabilize him.
Everyone laughed for a long time at that time. Later, the squad leader explained that Chen Lu's reaction was too fast and it was his instinctive reaction.
The second time was during the training session that had just ended. Chen Lu kicked the squad leader away, which alarmed the company commander and praised Chen Lu for his outstanding response on the spot.
That’s it!
Thinking of this, Zhang Laifu's eyes lit up and he trembled: "Brother Lu, so reaction ability is the foundation. As long as I lay the foundation well, whether it is fighting or marksmanship, it will naturally improve."
This kid who is about 1.8 meters tall has a very strong comprehension ability... Chen Lu nodded and said seriously: "Yes, your learning ability is very high. Once your reaction ability improves, your strength will improve very quickly." <
/p>
"If I had your physique and my current reaction ability, I wouldn't have been choked by the squad leader last time."
There was a hint of envy in Chen Lu's tone.
Zhang Laifu chuckled, and after a moment, he said doubtfully: "Brother Lu, your reaction ability is faster, which can improve your fighting skills, but what does this have to do with marksmanship? I still haven't figured this out."
Chen Lu said in a deep voice: "You don't have to think so much about some things. When you get stronger, you will understand naturally. Otherwise, it will be useless no matter how much I explain to you now."
Zhang Laifu nodded as if he understood.
The main reason is that Chen Lu has really bathed every day since he joined the army, while they didn't necessarily bathe once a week in the beginning.
Now, Chen Lu is really ridiculously strong.
Kick the squad leader, full circle in 100 meters...
"Brother Lu, if I had known that I would take a shower with you every day, it would be a pity."
After thinking about it, Zhang Laifu couldn't help but regret it.
From now on, I can smell the odor of one person less... Chen Lu was secretly happy in his heart and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's not too late now."
"Yeah!"
Zhang Laifu gritted his teeth and looked resolutely.
After a while, Zhang Laifu's skin turned purple from the cold, and his teeth began to chatter. He couldn't help but ask again: "Brother Lu, how long does it take to wash this at a time? I'm about to die."
Chen Lu pondered for a moment, "At least fifteen minutes at a time. Of course, the longer you can persist, the better the effect will be."
"How long have I been washing?"
"Five minutes!"
Zhang Laifu: "..."
In the end, Zhang Laifu finished washing with tears in his eyes while trembling. When he got dressed, his body was still shaking.
"Um...can you share your experience?"
Chen Lu rubbed his hands, looked at Zhang Laifu and reminded.
Zhang Laifu's face turned red again, he pondered for a moment, and then said bravely: "I don't have any skills. In fact, I just blow and sing."
Chen Lu was stunned for a moment.
"It's just water that comes with it. In this way, they also like to be flattered by others. They can wear everything but flatter them!" Zhang Laifu continued to explain, with a flash of embarrassment on his face after speaking.
Chen Lu had a cold war.
No wonder this guy was so nervous when I wanted to read his written thoughts. It turned out that he was praising those veteran squad leaders.
At that moment, the word "dog licking" flashed in Chen Lu's mind.
"Well, you're not afraid..."
Chen Lu couldn't help but remind him.
"What are you afraid of? This is what the squad leader likes to see. Just don't tell anyone."
Zhang Laifu directly interrupted Chen Lu.
Chen Lu stroked his forehead, feeling like he had paid an IQ tax.
Why, this is mutual business bragging. He wanted to remind Zhang Laifu that the squad leader and the others would check this experience. If he really wrote it like this, if the squad leader and the others read it in public, it would not be a social death?
Forget it, maybe Zhang Laifu won’t be selected?
Chen Lu looked at Zhang Laifu, who looked confident, and immediately ignored him.
In the dormitory.
As soon as everyone saw Chen Lu and Zhang Laifu coming back, they immediately surrounded them.
"Deputy, have you finished writing? Lend me a copy. No, please refer to it."
Wang Bing rushed over immediately.
It's true that you have to make a copy... Chen Lu murmured in his heart, pointed at Zhang Laifu and said with a smile: "I've just started writing it. When Lao Zhang finishes it, you can ask him to lend it to you for reference."
Chen Lu deliberately pronounced the word "reference" very seriously.
"Brother Fu!"
Wang Bing immediately changed his target, "I promise you will refer to it."
"Awesome, Brother Fu, as long as you help me pass this level, you will be my Brother Fu from now on."
"Brother Fu, how did you write it? It's a pity that you didn't continue studying, otherwise you would have been the top scholar."
Tieniu and the others immediately gathered around.
The corners of Zhang Laifu's mouth almost cracked to the base of his ears, and his vanity was extremely satisfied. As a result, the next moment, he just said one sentence and ran away.
"Damn it! It stinks so much, you should take a shower!"
The next day, all the recruits gathered in the auditorium.
"Vice-President, what theory class are you taking today?"
In class three, Zhang Laifu, who was sitting at the front, looked around and had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Chen Lu said calmly: "Didn't the company commander say yesterday that everyone should write their own thoughts and feelings? Today should be a summary and comment."
"Ah!"
Zhang Laifu's body suddenly stiffened, and his expression was frozen at that moment.
"Well... the company commander won't read out everyone's thoughts and feelings, right?"
For a moment, Zhang Laifu asked worriedly, but it seemed more like he was comforting himself.
Chen Lu smiled: "If you think your writing is good enough, it is possible."
"Ah!"
Zhang Laifu opened his mouth again and exclaimed.
Soon, the company commander appeared, and as expected, just as Chen Lu said, he first summarized the training and then commented on the insights they had written.
Throughout the whole process, Zhang Laifu tensed his nerves.
This is the most energetic time he has ever had in a theoretical class since he was a recruit.
At this time, Yang Song stood on the podium, holding a microphone with a smile on his face, "... yesterday's method was correct. Only what you feel is the most real."
"Here, I would like to end by commending Comrade Zhang Laifu of the third class. He has written a very good summary of his thoughts. It can be seen from his experience that although Comrade Zhang Laifu is still a recruit, his thoughts have risen to that of a veteran.
Height."
Zhang Laifu's body suddenly stiffened.
"Zhang Laifu."
Suddenly, Yang Song shouted loudly.
"Arrived!"
Zhang Laifu was stunned and quickly stood up.
"Come up and share your thoughts and insights with everyone."
Yang Song continued, and handed him the microphone in his hand, as well as the three thousand words of thoughts and insights he handed in last night.
Suddenly, thunderous applause erupted from the scene.
Class 3.
The corners of Xu Jiang's mouth almost cracked to the base of his ears, Chen Lu had a strange expression on his face, and the other recruits looked at Zhang Laifu with eyes full of envy and admiration.
In the entire recruit company, there are not many recruits who can be personally praised by the company commander.
Zhang Laifu didn't know how he got on the podium. He took the speech and read it out loud with helplessness and embarrassment.
"...This training made me understand the true meaning of a soldier. I am really grateful to the squad leaders and company commanders in the military camp. My growth is inseparable from them... All the squad leaders regard us recruits as
They treat us like brothers and take great care of us, making the whole training full of light and love. If there is a chance, I would like to come again..."
Later, Zhang Laifu also took the risk.
In this way, in the hateful eyes of the recruits, Zhang Laifu's physiological death was not completed, but his social death seriously exceeded the standard.
After that day, Zhang Laifu became more popular than when Chen Lu was revealed to be the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
But every time he went out, he was really panicked when he saw everyone's eyes wanting to come up and beat him up.
Height was always Zhang Laifu's proudest aspect. After that day, he had never been so envious of someone as tall as Flea and Tieniu.
Time passed day by day, and soon, the recruit assessment was approaching.
Next, Xu Jiang did not regard Chen Lu and others as human beings, and the requirements for various military skills were extremely abnormal.
In short, as long as you can't practice to death, practice to death.
If it weren't for the change in everyone's mentality after the training, there might have been a few more deserters.
Training ground.
In front of everyone in Class 3, Xu Jiang had no expression on his face, with a small pile of wooden sticks the size of a child's arms placed at his feet.
"Do you want to practice stick skills today?"
"The stick technique is pretty good. I've seen the Wulang Octagon Stick before. It's very handsome."
"No, shouldn't we practice bayonet practice?"
The training hasn't started yet, and everyone is whispering below. After almost three months of recruit training, everyone is gradually starting to become a bit old-fashioned.
Not long after, Xu Jiang began to organize his team, and everyone immediately became serious.
"If you want to fight, you must first take a beating. Today's training focuses on taking a beating. Only by learning how to take a beating will you be able to survive on the battlefield in the future."
Xu Jiang bent down and picked up a wooden stick on the ground, and said loudly: "The stick I have here is very big, just to let you refine it into steel."
As soon as the squad leader finished speaking, there was a commotion in the team.
Are these sticks used to beat them?
Chen Lu's pupils also shrank. The squad leader's stick was really big. Thinking about it, his scalp was numb.
"Who can demonstrate first?"
Xu Jiang's sharp eyes swept across the team and asked.
Everyone lowered their heads and did not look at each other. They were scared for a second, mainly because the stick was too thick and the pressure was great.
Xu Jiang went on to explain: "Actually, there are skills in being beaten. When the stick touches the body, you must hold it in and use the air to inflate the muscles so that the internal organs and bones will not be injured."
"Chen Lu, you come first and show them what a standard spanking is without even frowning."
Finally, Xu Jiang directly named him.
Chen Lu looked at the tube in the squad leader's hand, feeling chilled in his heart and his scalp numb. He lamented helplessly: "The squad leader definitely holds a grudge. I blame myself for slapping him in front of everyone."
