Chapter 256
In the mill.
Two stone mills, whirring and spinning.
Milky white bean dregs flowed down the stone trough into the big barrel on the ground.
There were already four or five such big barrels next to them.
Wang Yong and Chen Erhu took over the work of the two donkeys, pushing the mill with sweat dripping down their backs, looking hopeless.
"What the hell is this?" Wang Yong was sweating profusely: "We clearly said we were here to see a young girl, but she turned out to be an old woman, and now you want us to be animals?"
Chen Erhu had a sad face: "Brother Hui is too deceiving, I won't believe a single punctuation mark in what he says in the future."
The two of them went around and around, without stopping for a moment.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
They were so tired that they stuck out their tongues, felt dizzy, and kept panting.
At this moment, the old man came in with a kettle and said distressedly: "You've worked hard, you've worked hard! Come on, drink some water and take a break. You haven't stopped for a moment from morning to afternoon."
Wang Yong's lips turned pale, and he shook his head and said: "It's not hard. We don't feel tired at all when we work for the people."
Chen Erhu nodded: "Yes, we both like to grind the mill. We feel uncomfortable if we don't grind for a day."
It's not that they don't want to rest, but they dare not stop.
If they are seen by Lin Hui, the big sinister man, I don't know how to deal with them.
The old man poured two bowls of water and said with a wry smile: "No one is born to like to suffer. Just drink some water and it won't waste time."
"Your leader is the same. Even if you are training people, you can't do it like this. This person is made of iron. If he doesn't eat, drink or rest, he will be exhausted?"
The two agreed madly in their hearts and were moved to tears: I finally heard a human word.
The old man persuaded: "How about this, you take a short break, drink some water and eat something. I'll help you watch outside and not let your leader know, isn't it okay?"
Wang Yong's eyes lit up: "Is this bad?"
Chen Erhu looked at him: "I think this is good!"
"Is it good?"
"It's good!" Chen Erhu nodded: "We are resting in name, but in reality we are resting to conserve our energy and work better, fellow villager, don't you think so?"
The old man laughed: "Yes, yes, that makes sense."
Wang Yong said seriously: "But old man, you have to keep it a secret for us. If our perverted leader knows about it, we will be in trouble."
The old man nodded: "Don't worry, I'm famous for my tight mouth. I'll bring you some food later. After you finish eating, take a rest."
"If we don't tell anyone, no one will know."
Wang Yong and Chen Erhu looked at each other, nodded with a smile, and finally took a rest.
After a while, the old couple brought a few steamed buns and a small dish of pickles.
Seeing the food, the two quickly unloaded their stuff and began to devour it.
After eating and drinking, they patted their bellies and simply leaned in the corner to take a nap.
...
In the early morning, the village was silent.
The sky was as dark as an upside-down pot.
The yard suddenly sounded with a hu ... The old lady got up from the bed in fear and turned on the light: "Old man, did you hear any noise?"
The old man sat up and felt something was wrong: "Oh no, could it be that the house was robbed?"
He put on his clothes and quickly picked up a pair of tongs.
Together with his wife, they walked carefully into the yard.
The further they walked into the yard, the louder the noise became.
When they arrived outside the mill, the old man kicked the door open and was immediately startled.
Wang Yong and Chen Erhu were seen grinding the mill frantically, as fast as an engine.
There was also a person standing next to them, as if supervising their work.
"You, what are you doing?"
The old man was confused: "It's late at night, why don't you rest?"
Wang Yong saw him and suddenly burst into tears: "Uncle, please don't send us food and drinks in the future, please, we don't deserve it!"
Chen Erhu's eyes were full of tears: "Yes, we love our work and don't want to rest at all!"
The soldier in charge of supervision next to him scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up! Deputy Battalion Commander Lin has said that if the task is not completed, you can't eat or rest tomorrow, hurry up!"
The two were so scared that they hurriedly speeded up and wanted to die.
They had just slept for a while in the afternoon when they were caught by Lin Hui.
It was really a burden!
They were also severely punished.
If they had known this would happen, they would not have slacked off even if they were thirsty and tired!
The old couple watched from the side and shook their heads again and again: "It's too miserable, then you hurry up, we will go back and continue to sleep. Hey, remember to keep the noise down, we old people don't sleep well."
The twoI almost vomited blood, so don't rub salt into the wound, okay?
Early the next morning.
Lin Hui took a few cadres from the regiment and wandered around.
Special surprise inspection to see if anyone was lazy and resting.
The car drove to the entrance of the village and stopped far away.
Everyone got off the car on foot, so as not to be discovered.
If anyone was found to be lazy, they would be severely punished immediately!
The guys were so scared that they dared not rest for a moment. They even took turns to poop and pee, and they quickly finished and ran back immediately.
They were afraid of being regarded as lazy and severely punished!
In the evening, Zhou Zhongyi and Lin Hui squatted on the dam together.
They drank porridge and ate pancakes.
Zhou Zhongyi frowned and asked curiously: "I really don't understand, why do you let them work for the villagers day and night?"
Lin Hui drank a mouthful of porridge and said: "Some time ago, we asked them to push tanks to train explosive power, and now we are working to train endurance."
"Endurance?"
Zhou Zhongyi was confused.
Lin Hui nodded with a smile: "We don't have good weapons and equipment, and we are in the mountainous area. In this situation, if we want to defeat the opponent, we must quickly improve the basics of each soldier."
"Single physical training can only train certain parts of the body and cannot improve the overall."
"But it's different to let them work while hungry. This is a scientific training from the inside out. It can not only exercise willpower, but also improve their endurance!"
He chuckled: "Think about it, the same jungle and mountain warfare, under the same conditions, our people can last for twenty hours, or even twenty-four hours, and the enemy may not be able to hold on for ten hours or so . Who do you think will win then? "
Zhou Zhongyi dropped his jaw in shock: "Gosh, you are so damn treacherous. You can even think of such a trick that hurts the enemy by 1,000 and hurts yourself by 800?"
Lin Hui shook his head: "This is not a trick, this is the wisdom of our ancestors. When we fought against the Western devils in the snowy area, our ancestors ate snow and fried noodles, and finally drove away the well-equipped enemy?"
"Now, I want them to experience the spirit of the past and temper their steel-like will!"
Zhou Zhongyi was speechless. He couldn't use people as animals and let them pull the mill!
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Lin Hui summoned people to the threshing ground.
Looking over, everyone was visibly stronger.
All the excess fat on their faces was gone. Although their bodies were a little shriveled, their physical fitness had improved by more than one level.
Now, even if they were asked to carry a donkey, they would have no problem running a marathon.
Lin Hui put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "I think everyone has had a good time in the past half month. Have you had a good rest?"
Everyone's eyes were blazing with anger, and they wanted to cut him into pieces.
Every day he gets up earlier than the chickens and sleeps later than the dogs.
Being a slave is not so hard!
How can you see that he is happy?
Lin Hui smiled and said: "It seems that you are very adaptable to being here."
"How about this, the previous twelve-hour tasks will be shortened to eight hours. In the extra time, I will take you to do some scientific training, okay?"
Everyone was collectively spitting blood, I'm scientific to your grandmother!
"You might as well just kill me!"
"Brother Hui, spare us, stop torturing us, killing is not enough, you are more powerful than cutting meat with a blunt knife!"
Lin Hui snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense! I just ask you one question, do you want to win the championship in the whole war zone competition?"
Everyone said weakly: "Of course."
Lin Hui then asked: "Then do you want to bring glory to the Tiger Regiment, win more honors, make our regiment the focus of training in the whole war zone, and get more resources, more funds and equipment?"
Everyone shouted loudly: "Yes!"
Lin Hui said passionately: "The superiors have made it clear that as long as they can make meritorious deeds and dare to perform, anyone can be given the opportunity to be promoted by exception. Do you want to be a soldier for life, or do you want to fight with me vigorously!"
"Seeing the five of us go to military academies and become officers, don't you envy us?"
Envy, how could I not envy?
Who doesn't want to be promoted?
Who doesn't want to bring honor to the family?
It doesn't matter if there are no channels and no opportunities, but now the opportunity is right in front of us, how can we let it go?
Someone took the lead and shouted: "We want it too!"
Others were also excited and excited.
Lin Hui smiled slightly: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, but it's useless to just talk, you have to take action. I ask you now, do you still have the energy to follow me!"
Everyone was excited: "Yes! We will do whatever you say, as long as you don't train us to death!"Lin Hui laughed: "Don't worry, my training is always very scientific, and it will never cause any deaths. At least you can breathe and be saved!"
Everyone's legs went weak and they almost knelt down.
They hated the word science.
However, for the honor and for promotion!
They had to fight!
