On October 9, the 22nd year of the Qin Dynasty, there was only one day left before the ten-day competition. At the South Gate School Ground of Anlu County, the long cypress trees in Jiashi were restless.
That day, he just had the mentality of giving it a try and went to stimulate Hei Fu. If Hei Fu was afraid of rejection, he could just laugh at him.
Unexpectedly, this fool from the countryside agreed immediately! He also agreed on such a huge bet! Now the proud Yuan Bai had no way out and had to accept the move.
But thinking about it afterwards, he still felt that he would definitely win. In his opinion, Heifu, a 17-year-old soldier who was serving for the first time, could lead Quanshi to win the first place in the assessment? Yuan Bake didn't believe this at all.
Something will happen.
He had already planned that as long as this black man couldn't get the first place, he would be disgraced and have to work as a tenant farmer for two years for nothing, so he would have to exploit him.
At that time, Guishi's training was indeed stagnant and his morale was low. But Yuan Bai never expected that in just four or five days, Guishi would undergo earth-shaking changes!
First of all, the training progress was different from standing still, squatting, turning left and right in the first few days. On October 6th, everyone in Guishi finally began to walk around the school grounds and practice "walking and stopping"
, their practice method is still so different: those people all have no shoes on their left feet, walking one high and one low, not to mention how funny it is.
This funny scene caused everyone in Jiashi to laugh, but on October 7th, they couldn't laugh anymore...
It turned out that relying on the good foundation laid in the past few days and after a day of practice, everyone in Guishi was able to step on the right foot without taking off their left shoes. Once someone stepped wrong, the corps leader Dongmen Bao who was following behind
He would step forward and give him a hard slap with the bamboo stick in his hand!
Shi Changheifu walked in front holding a thick bamboo pole, shouting "left and right, left and right, left and right" as he walked, and the people behind him followed his footsteps and shouted the same words.
On the eighth day, Guishi's marching queue became more regular. They could already shout left and right while jogging, and kept moving at the same rhythm. Everyone moved like the left and right legs of a centipede, which looked very regular.
When Heifu shouted to stop, everyone stopped, raised their right feet, and stepped heavily on the ground. The sound of stomping feet made Yuan Bai tremble.
Of course he didn't know that the reason why everyone in Guishi was able to maintain high morale was thanks to his four thousand dollars, which was treated as a piece of cake by Hei Fu in front of everyone. After receiving Hei Fu's promise to "share the money", even if
Ping, Ke and Bu, who were the most passive in training, also began to work hard to keep up with the team's rhythm.
Drive it away with profit, tie it with righteousness, push it with kindness, and threaten it with law... Heifu cleverly used these methods. With the help of Ji Ying and Dongmen Bao, he turned what was originally like a plate of loose sand.
The whole thing came together.
"If this continues, Guishi might actually get the first place..." Yuan Bai began to panic. Although his family was wealthy, four thousand dollars was not a small amount after all.
"Shi Chang, I do have an idea."
The team leader of Jiashi came over and said in Yuan Bai's ear: "I and Xiao Tao of Guishi are from the same hometown. This boy stutters, his family is poor, and he is cowardly and can be bullied. As long as he threatens him a little, he can be bullied."
Promise him some money and let him deliberately lag behind in the competition on the tenth day, and Guishi will not be able to get the first place!"
"That's great!" Yuan Bai's eyes lit up and he asked Captain Jia Shi to quickly find a way to find Xiao Tao.
So, during the meal of the day, when Xiao Tao went to the toilet alone, he was blocked outside Muxuan by three or four people including Yuan Bai from Jia Shi, Wu Zhang...
…
Just like what Captain Jia Shi said, Xiao Tao was a thin and short young man. He was forced to tremble in the corner by everyone. Yuan Bai stepped forward with a smile and began to intimidate and lure him...
"me……"
After Yuan Bai explained his intention, Xiao Tao's face turned red and he was almost speechless. He didn't know whether he was angry or scared.
"Just take it!"
Yuan Bai forced the cloth bag containing one hundred coins into Xiao Tao's hands, put his arm around his shoulders and promised: "If you can do what I said and fall behind on purpose during the competition tomorrow, I will
I’ll give you another hundred dollars!”
Captain Jiash also clenched his fists and threatened: "Otherwise, when I return to the countryside, I will have your good harvest!"
Xiao Tao's eyes were filled with fear, and he looked at the money in his hand at a loss.
His family was poor, and his mother contracted leprosy. She was caught by neighbors in the countryside, sentenced to death, and drowned by the river. His father was cowardly and incompetent, and did not dare to say a word about this matter.
The brothers and sisters in the family have already married, and their families have been separated, and no one cares about him.
Throughout the year, Xiao Tao and his hunched father had to work on the less than 100 acres of thin farmland at home, just to earn a little harvest to survive. After all, Xiao Tao has never had so much money in his hands since he was a child!
He opened the money bag with trembling hands and looked at the round and square coins inside. They were full of attractive metallic luster. They were stacked on top of each other and made a pleasant sound...
Yuan Bai looked at Xiao Tao, with a triumphant smile under his beard. He felt that this boy had fallen into the eyes of money, and this could be done. Even though Heifu, contrary to everyone's expectations, brought Guishi into strict order,
But no matter how beautiful the orange is on the outside, it will become rotten from the inside.
However, what happened next was beyond Yuan Bai's expectation.
"But, Shichang... treats me... not too lightly."
Xiao Tao opened his mouth, murmured these words, then suddenly raised his money bag high and threw all the money on the ground!
"Wow!"
Coins fell all over the ground, like a rain of money.
"You..." Yuan Bai took half a step back in surprise.
Xiao Tao's face raised, and it was then that Yuan Bai and others realized that his flushed face was not excitement, but humiliation; his trembling hands were not fear, but anger!
The shy young man from Yunmeng Township was so humiliated and angry, he stammered and said word by word: "You... don't... look down on me, look down on me!"
Under the shocked gazes of Yuan Bai and others, Xiao Tao raised his head and raised his chest, just like Heifu taught them, standing like a straight green pine with his weak body!
"I...I...I will never...betray...Shi Chang!"
"You little brat! You don't know what's good and what's good!" Yuan Bai and others were furious and raised their fists to strike!
Although Xiao Tao was very tough with his words, he was still a little scared. He closed his eyes tightly and protected his head.
But after waiting for a long time, Yuan Bai's fist did not fall.
When Xiao Tao opened his eyes, he found that Yuan Bai's wrist was tightly pinched by a strong hand. It was Guishi, the tallest and strongest man. He was currently glaring at Yuan Bai with a cold eyebrow.
The other three members of Jia Shi were also stopped by Ji Ying and Zhi who came over.
Heifu appeared behind them, playing with the dagger in his hand, and said with a sneer: "Yuan Bai Shichang, what do you mean? You don't know how to understand, so you just want to be cunning? You know, this is a private fight,
If you are not straight, if the official temple finds out, you will be convicted!"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..." Yuan Bai's hands were about to be crushed, and he begged for mercy with a twisted face.
Heifu didn't want to make things worse, so he waved his hand and asked Mu to let go of Yuan Bai.
"Yuan Baishi, let's go slowly. After tomorrow's competition, don't forget the agreement between you and me!" Heifu looked at the figures of these people running away in embarrassment and waved to them.
Finally, he turned around and looked at Xiao Tao, who was hanging his head in silence. He didn't say a word for a long time.
"What the hell...I..."
It wasn't until Xiao Tao raised his head and tried to explain that Heifu showed a happy smile, patted his shoulder heavily and said, "Well done!"
…
"Why didn't you call me for such a big matter? If I had been here at that time, I would have removed one of Yuan Bai's arms!"
When everyone returned to the school grounds, Dongmen Bao knew what had happened. He immediately cried out regrets, rolled up his sleeves and was about to go to Jia Shi to trouble Yuan Bai.
"If you beat him up and we get first place tomorrow, where can we find four thousand dollars?"
Heifu quickly held him down. Just then, the clever Ji Ying discovered that Jia Shi's people were blocking Xiaotao and immediately came to inform him. Heifu deliberately did not take Dongmen Bao with him. This reckless man did not know the importance of his actions.
, who knows what trouble he will cause.
It is commendable that Xiao Tao finally withstood the coercion and inducement, which impressed Hei Fu. On the way back, Hei Fu kept praising this stuttering young man from the country, saying that he was not afraid of rape and was a good man who was unyielding.
The shy little Tao turned red in the face.
However, this incident also sounded the alarm for Heifu. He decided to train intensively in the next day and never let anyone leave the team alone so that others could take advantage of it.
After these days of training, Guishi's team formation has made great progress. Although turning left and right on the same spot is still a bit awkward, and mistakes are made from time to time. But the standing posture, team marching, squatting, standing, and straddling are still a bit awkward.
Turn, it has reached the standard required by Heifu. Although if you put it in future university military training, you will definitely be at the bottom, but if you put it in the chaotic pace of the soldiers, it is already outstanding.
Heifu is even more confident about taking the lead tomorrow!
But it was not enough. Before sunset that day, after everyone else had finished their training and went to eat, Heifu gathered everyone in Guishi together again. Looking at their faces of different ages, everyone stood up straight and looked at each other.
It's all about their length.
At this moment, Heifu felt a lot of emotion, as if he had really returned to the scene before the review on the last day of military training in his previous life.
After being silent for a long time, he slowly said:
"Today is the last day before the competition, the last training. Whether it is sitting up and standing, walking and stopping, left and right, front and back, you have already mastered it by heart, and it is of no use to review it again. But
