The Road to Rebirth

Before I knew it, I had lived in the army for more than half a month. From the initial complaints to the present, I still remember the first time the army allowed everyone to call their families, the girls burst into tears, and even alarmed the head of the army to come over Speak comfortingly.

"By the way, Instructor Cao, where are you going to take us?" Just after breakfast, Cao Qi called everyone to assemble, and led the second platoon around the army. After walking for more than ten minutes, Cao Qi was nowhere to be seen. The tendency to stop, Li Xin, who was the most impatient, asked doubtfully.

Cao Qi turned his head and slapped Li Xin on the head: "What are you talking about, just follow along and take you to a good place."

Li Xin wrinkled her face, rubbed her head, curled her lips, and was about to refute a few words, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a big yellow dog running past in front of her, she immediately showed a wicked smile, and quickly ran to chase the big yellow dog, barking as she ran : "Instructor Cao, Instructor Cao, where are you going?"

"Pfft!" The whole row laughed.

Even Qin Ziyan laughed and shook his head, really confirming a sentence: If you don't die, you won't die!

"Li Xin, get the hell out of here, you want to write a self-criticism, don't you?" Cao Qi's forehead was full of veins.

"Ci'ao, can this stalk go away first?" Li Xin was angry, and this group of people knew how to make fun of him all day long.

After walking for about 10 minutes, everyone arrived at a small training ground overgrown with weeds. To the north of the training ground was a row of dilapidated wing rooms, which looked crumbling. Repair factory, parked a few dilapidated cars.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the desolate scene in front of them. On a scorching summer day, a gust of wind blew in, their backs were cold, and their hairs stood on end.

"If anyone is disobedient today, I won't punish you to stand in a military posture. You can go to the small black room over there and think about it. Comrade Li Xin, the small black room is tailor-made for you. How about it?" No matter how you look at it, you can feel that instructor Cao's smile is very sinister and cunning today.

Li Xin's eyes widened: "Damn, Instructor Cao, are you sure it's a small dark room? Not a haunted house? This is clearly the best place for killing people in a dark night, Instructor Cao, you should punish me Go stand in a military posture, or write a [-]-word self-criticism..."

"Shut up, keep talking again, I'll let you face the wall and think about your mistakes right now." Cao Qi glared at Li Xin angrily, put away his joking tone, and said with a serious face, "Shooting training will start tomorrow, and we will start for the last one next Monday. There are only 81 people in a company who can participate in the military parade, and it is conceivable how many people will be eliminated. If you want to participate in the military parade, you have to be serious and practice the previous basic training again today."

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Cao Qi was very satisfied: "Everyone is here, stand at attention, walk in place, one two one, one two one, pay attention to swinging arms, 45 degrees, one two one, one two one... walk in unison... One two one, one two one... go forward... run... stand still, one two three four!"

One command, one action, and finally a neat "snap" to his feet, Cao Qi nodded in satisfaction.

"Hey, Instructor Cao, everyone is quite well-trained, such a set of movements is really neat!"

The highly concentrated practice made everyone tense up. An incoherent voice suddenly broke the tense atmosphere. Everyone immediately followed the prestige and saw that the instructors of the second company and the second platoon came over with a group of female soldiers smiling. It happened that Qin Ziyan All the girls in the class are in this row.

"Instructor Chen, why did you come here?" Cao Qi waved his hand to dismiss the team and asked everyone to rest nearby.

"It was a step late when we came out, and all the good positions were occupied. I didn't expect that we wanted to go together, but it was a step too late. I said, Instructor Cao, give me a small space. I think you have trained well. First Let's practice for half an hour." The instructors in the second row of the second company looked depressed.

Cao Qi turned his head and glanced at the group of people catching crickets gathered in the weeds, and raised his forehead: "Okay, you guys should train first."

"Zi Yan, come here, I'll fight crickets for you." Li Xin greeted Qin Ziyan who was sitting on the cement pipe to rest with great interest.

Qin Ziyan looked at Li Xin, wanted to imitate Cao Qi in helping his forehead, and immediately turned his head to chat with Xiao Ning, ignoring Li Xin directly.

"I didn't expect the girls in our class to look like female soldiers after training for such a long time. Not bad!" Ye Zhichen carefully observed the training of the second company and second platoon, with a surprised expression on his face, "It was hard to imagine them in the past This is what the training ground looks like, it can be described as tough with softness."

"It's really neat, even neater than ours." Xiao Ning on the side couldn't help admiring.

Seeing how surprised everyone was, Cao Qi said with a smile: "Everyone says that the Erlian is the best company, and you have also seen that the second platoon is not as good as the Erlian, but it is much neater and bolder than ours. Well, the No.1 military parade this year is probably Erlian."

Everyone watched the training of the second row fixedly, and nodded at the same time. At this time, the second row was practicing going forward. The neat and powerful steps and loud slogans showed the strongest and most courageous side of women. Suddenly, an exclamation came from the team. It came out, interrupting the training and the attention of the crowd.

Cao Qi, who was resting on the concrete pipe, reacted quickly, jumped up and ran forward, and everyone followed suit.

"What happened?" Li Xin, who was still catching crickets in the weeds, heard the sound, walked to Qin Ziyan and asked.

"It seems that a girl has fainted." Qin Ziyan looked at the chaotic crowd.

I only heard Cao Qi yelling for everyone to disperse, to keep fresh air for the fainted girl, and then picked up the girl and put it on the back of Instructor Chen in the second row of the second company. Instructor Chen carried the girl and went to the infirmary of the army After rushing, Cao Qi ordered other girls to notify the student union in charge of the second company.

"Except for the two days when I first came to the army, it has been a long time since girls fainted due to heat stroke. What happened these days? Yesterday was the fourth and fifth companies, and I fainted four or five times. Today is the second company. It stands to reason that everyone It's time to get used to this kind of intense training." Xiao Ning asked doubtfully.

"I heard that lack of sleep leads to a decline in physical strength, and it is easy to suffer from heat stroke during training." Ye Zhichen explained.

"Lack of sleep?" Several people looked at each other, not knowing why.

Qin Ziyan was also puzzled, although dozens of people slept in a big room, there were always a few people who stayed up late at night, had endless topics to talk about, lack of sleep was normal, but as Xiao Ning said, it took so long I should have gotten used to it by now.

Just as he was thinking, Qin Ziyan caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. Looking intently, he saw Qu Mohan walking towards this direction imposingly, followed by several members of the student union. He probably heard the commotion here. He just rushed over, but why did he feel that Qu Mohan was angry?

Cao Qi walked up to Qu Mohan, the two exchanged a few words, and Qu Mohan walked towards Qin Ziyan and the others.

Qin Ziyan looked at Qu Mohan suspiciously, turned around and saw Li Xin was hiding behind Ye Zhichen and Xiao Ning, trying his best to reduce his sense of existence, smiled helplessly, and said to Qu Mohan: "President Qu."

Qu Mohan nodded at Qin Ziyan, looked at Li Xin with sharp eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Recently, there have been some bad rumors circulating among girls. It is rumored that there is a female ghost with only the upper body crawling on the street lamp outside the main entrance of Liulian. , When I see people, I always say I want to find my legs. There are ghosts of female soldiers who hanged themselves on the tree of the second company, there are female ghosts in white clothes in the toilet next to the fifth company, and there are veterans in the boy company.”

When Qin Ziyan heard these familiar horror rumors, he lowered his head and chuckled. For some reason, these ghost stories were briefly told by Qu Mohan, and they were all indescribably interesting: "I have heard that this is what causes girls to lack sleep. , the reason why you fainted due to lack of energy during training?"

Li Xin, who was hiding behind Ye Zhichen and Xiao Ning, felt bad, and tried to evacuate on tiptoe.

"After the investigation by the student union, the person who spread the rumors has been found." Qu Mohan stared at Li Xin expressionlessly, and said sharply, "Li Xin!"

"Here!" Li Xin hurriedly stopped, stood upright, raised her hand in salute, "Hello, President Qu!"

"Li Xin, I violated classroom discipline during cultural class, spread false rumors, and caused panic in the class. A [-]-word review must be handed in to the person in charge of the [-]th Company Student Union before ten o'clock tonight. Before training tomorrow morning, I will post it on the bulletin board. See your review, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

"President Qu, I am wronged, safe and innocent..." Li Xin wailed and struggled with all her might.

"Oh?" Qu Mohan raised his eyebrows, and gave Qin Ziyan a meaningful look.

Qin Ziyan inexplicably had the illusion of being hit by an arrow in the knee, embarrassingly wiped the tip of his nose with his knuckles, pretended to look ahead calmly, but was deeply annoyed. He was "upset" that day and ran to sleep with Ye Zhichen. That big mouth said that he was frightened by Li Xin's ghost story.

Qin Ziyan frowned at that time. He just didn't like these messy things and felt that it affected his mood. Besides, in a sense, he himself was reborn after death. His body had already died, and only one was left living in someone else's body. soul.

"How are those girls doing now?" Qin Ziyan changed the topic. Many girls are relatively timid. They don't even dare to watch horror movies, and they have undergone rigorous training in the army. Their spirits are already very fragile. People are immediately on the verge of collapse.

Qin Ziyan still remembered the farce that came from the girls' company one night. It was very late that day, the weather was very hot, and the conditions in the army lounge were very bad. Dozens of people were lying on wooden boards, and there were only a few ceiling fans on the ceiling. A girl was so hot that she couldn't sleep, so she sat up to blow the air.

But the girl washed her hair before going to bed, moved a small bench and sat in the middle of the lounge to blow dry, hanging her hair in front with her head down. The other girl was sleepy, and when she got up to go to the toilet, she happened to see this scene, pitch black In the room, there was a black figure with disheveled hair, who suddenly screamed in fright, waking up everyone in the room.

This incident made a big fuss, and finally the entire company was woken up. The company commander, instructors, counselors, and the student union all rushed over, only to realize that it was just a misunderstanding and a farce, but the girl was terrified and cried. I didn't dare to sleep, and I couldn't even participate in training the next day.

"A few are still resting in the infirmary. They just need to rest more physically. What they need now is psychological counseling." Qu Mohan explained patiently, "These horror rumors have been around for a long time, but this year's impact is particularly extensive. , the consequences are more serious.”

The implication is that Li Xin's influence is particularly powerful!

Qin Ziyan chuckled, Li Xin had a special liking for those horror stories, and he could tell a lot of them with just one mouth, which made the listeners shudder, some of which he had heard before, but most of them were heard for the first time Said, I really don't know where Li Xin got it.
