At eight o'clock in the morning, the day's official training began. The 7th Company gathered on the field, and Commander Luo ordered the squads to start their own training.
Class Six stood in a row. Squad Leader Ye was teaching everyone the basic formation movements, such as standing at attention, looking left, looking right, and so on. After two hours of practice, Squad Leader Ye arranged everyone to stand in a military posture.
Squad Leader Ye spoke to the ten recruits standing in a row,""A soldier should sit like a bell and stand like a pine tree. Let's begin to stand in a military posture. When you stand in a military posture, you must treat yourself as a pine tree and not move at all. Even if a mosquito bites you, you can't move at all.”
The ten recruits of the sixth squad began to stand up in a military posture. Everyone stood motionless and looked forward, except for the occasional blink. After standing there for 20 minutes, Dai Xuan, who felt bored, sank his divine sense into the Profound Jade Space. There were more than 4,000 cows grazing on the grassland in the space. The calves that were born in November last year had grown up and looked very energetic. The peaches on the spiritual peach trees this year had all been picked and made into spiritual peach wine. He then looked at the growth of the immortal herbs and spiritual medicines on each mountain peak.
When his divine sense came out of the space, he saw that his comrades standing at the side were sweating and swaying. Looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, it was probably 11 o'clock. It was only late October, and the weather in the south was still quite hot. The barracks were located in Ning County, Gui Province, and the weather was even hotter than Lingnan.
Dai Xuan saw that Dai Xiaogang was grimacing from the sweat flowing down his face, but he didn't dare to use his hands to wipe it. The other people were in the same situation, so he silently cast a " Mystic Wind Formula " spell. Suddenly, a strong wind blew around. The recruits of the sixth squad who were about to faint from the sun immediately felt much more comfortable. Although he didn't need to exercise to stand in a military posture, standing for a long time was more tiring than running a five-kilometer cross-country run, especially under the sun.
With this gust of wind, everyone stood until 12 o'clock. Then, Squad Leader Ye ordered everyone to disperse and rest. Other than Dai Xuan, the other recruits of the sixth squad could not move their feet. It took them a few minutes to slowly move. At this moment, Dai Xuan and Squad Leader Ye had already run to the tree beside the field and started smoking.
"Class monitor, I heard that there's wild boar meat for lunch. Is that true?”Dazhuang Yang wiped the sweat off his face and asked Squad Leader Ye.
"It's true. There's enough wild boar meat, so we have to train harder. You always can't differentiate between left and right. Go back and think about it yourself. How can you think of a way to distinguish clearly?”
Yang Dazhuang's face turned red and he said embarrassedly,""I've already figured it out. It's easy to distinguish if you tie a rope to your left hand.”
Tang Meng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pants pocket and wanted to give everyone a round of smoke. However, he realized that the cigarettes and matches were soaked in sweat. Seeing this, Dai Xuan threw a pack to him. Tang Meng took the cigarette and asked curiously,"Brother Dai, why isn't your cigarette wet?”
"Put the cigarette aside during training.”Yan Xiaohu helped Dai Xuan answer this question.
" Beep!" Commander Luo was blowing the assembly signal. Those who were smoking quickly threw their cigarettes on the ground, and everyone lined up and ran over.
They had braised wild boar meat for lunch. After lunch, they went back to the dormitory to rest. Everyone had been training for the whole morning and had eaten a little too much at noon. After returning to their rooms, they lay on the bed and were unwilling to move.
The afternoon training began with an appetizer. After 100 push-ups, it was the entire afternoon of formation training. They kept repeating movements such as turning right and walking in unison. Dai Xuan felt that the current military training was very different from the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty focused on physical training, fist training, weapon training, and array training.
At night, the recruits would be learning about culture and ideology. The company commander would be the speaker, and the instructor had not returned yet. It mainly talked about some military knowledge that soldiers should know and master. Some of the more diligent recruits even took notes in their notebooks.
At nine o'clock, they dispersed and returned to the dormitory to rest. Everyone felt pretty good on their first day in the army. At the very least, they ate a lot of red braised pork. Most people rarely ate meat at home once a month.
"Dai Xiaogang, where are you from in An County?”Dai Xuan asked Dai Xiaogang who was lying on the bed in a daze.
"Brother Dai, I'm from An County's Shijiao Commune.”Dai Xiaogang heard Dai Xuan ask him and quickly sat up to answer.
"I thought you were from the White Horse Commune. Are you related to Dai Village over there?”
"Yes, we have the same ancestor. Last month, we gave each family 2000 yuan. Brother Dai, how do you know about Dai Village? Are you from Dai Village?”
Dai Xuan nodded." I'm from the White Horse Commune's Dai Village. I went back in August. Did you go to the banquet that day?"”
"Uh, yes. There was a sea of people. When the ancestors moved their graves, many people cried.”
At this moment, the lights went out and everyone went to bed.
The next day was Saturday. It was drizzling. The companies continued to train on the field. Squad Leader Ye said that it would rain from time to time, so they would get used to it.
Just like yesterday, Class 6 was still practicing their formation and military posture. The soldiers kept repeating simple and boring movements.
At noon, when they finished their training and went to the dining hall to eat, everyone realized that there was a lot less meat in the dishes. Everyone only got a few slices. The soldiers looked at Dai Xuan from time to time. Everyone knew that Dai Xuan was the one who beat up the wild boar yesterday. They were all counting on him to continue the revolutionary tradition and get some mountain products back.
"Brother Dai, are you still going hunting tonight? Can you bring me along?" Zheng Hai from Class 3 walked over and asked Dai Xuan shyly.
"Yes, but can you take leave? It's quite dangerous on the mountain."
Zheng Hai patted his chest loudly. It's okay. The third class monitor is from our hometown. He should be able to take leave.”
After the training ended at six in the afternoon, Dai Xuan and Squad Leader Ye led Zheng Hai, Yang Dazhuang, Dai Xiaogang, and Yan Xiaohu up the mountain. Dai Xuan also took two large sacks.
"Yes, Brother Dai, here's the stone." Zheng Hai passed a stone to Dai Xuan. After taking the stone, Dai Xuan threw it into the bushes in front of him. He heard the scream of a wild boar not far away.
"Alright, Squad Leader Ye, there are already three wild boars. You guys should carry the wild boars back first. Otherwise, it will be difficult to walk when it gets dark.”Dai Xuan said to Squad Leader Ye.
The few people who followed were very excited. Dai Xiaogang and Yan Xiaohu were tying ropes to the wild boars, Yang Dazhuang and Zheng Hai were cutting wooden sticks and carrying the wild boars. In about an hour, they had killed three wild boars. They had come hunting before they had eaten. When they thought about how they could have a full meal when they went back, they could not help but drool.
"What about you? Aren't we going back together?" Squad Leader Ye asked Dai Xuan.
"I'll look around and follow you.”
About an hour later, they had just brought the three wild boars back to the foot of the mountain. Dai Xuan followed behind them. He carried two bulging sacks in his left hand and a big leopard cat in his right hand. It looked like it weighed about 40 pounds. It was already dark.
The few of them carried the prey back to the entrance of the camp and saw Commander Luo standing at the door, smoking and waiting.
"Good heavens, we caught so many this time!”Commander Luo threw the cigarette away and immediately ran over to help Dai Xuan with the sack.
"Captain, I'll take this sack myself. The things inside are still alive.”
"Then I'll help you get this leopard. Good heavens, this thing is really big! He was resting tomorrow, so he could have two drinks tonight.”
The group of people carried the prey back to the dining hall of the Seventh Company in a grandiose manner, attracting many gazes along the way. Squad Leader Xu and four cooks were waiting at the entrance of the cafeteria of the Seventh Company. When Squad Leader Xu saw the three big wild boars, he immediately said to the cooks beside him,"Stick, go and inform Old Cui of the Eighth Company to come over and help. The others boil water and prepare.”
Vice Regiment Commander Wang Xingguo also rushed over when he heard the news. Tomorrow was a holiday, so Political Commissar Sun had gone home and was not in the camp.
When Wang Xingguo arrived at the entrance of the dining hall, he saw more than a dozen people scalding and shaving the pig's hair. Company Commander Luo was giving instructions at the side, and Dai Xuan was standing at the entrance of the dining hall smoking and watching.
"Guild Leader." When Dai Xuan saw Wang Xingguo, he raised his hand and saluted him.
"Hmm, not bad. Good job. What are the two sacks on the ground? Good heavens, there was also a big leopard.”
Dai Xuan walked over and opened the opening of a sack. He reached into it and grabbed a big king cobra from inside. The snake was five to six meters long and as thick as an arm. It scared Wang Xingguo so much that he kept retreating. The dozen people who were shaving the pig's hair also stopped to look at the big snake.
The king cobra's eyes were filled with ferocity. It stuck out its tongue and twisted its thick body continuously. It looked very scary.
"Alright, alright. Young Dai, quickly put it in. It's quite scary. What else is in the bag?”
Dai Xuan stuffed the snake back into the sack, tied the bag, and said,""There are also two water snakes that weigh more than 10 jin. There are three pangolins in the other bag, all weighing more than 10 jin.”
"Yes, you've worked hard. Everyone, go ahead and get busy. I'll go call Old Sun and Old Zhang. Commander Luo, come over here." Wang Xingguo called Commander Luo over and left after a while.
After Wang Xingguo returned to the regimental office, he grabbed the phone on the table."Hey, Old Sun, Young Dai just got a few pangolins, cobras, and leopards. Don't say that I didn't inform you. Hurry up and come over. Give Old Zhang a call. The two of you happen to be in the same car.”
After Wang Xingguo left, Commander Luo called Squad Leader Xu, who was busy, over and said to him,""Old Xu, just now, the regiment commander instructed us to deal with the cobra first, then deal with the pangolin. As for the rest, you can do as you see fit.”
After Squad Leader Xu heard the order, he went to prepare. He asked Dai Xuan to kill the cobra first, then took the snake gall and soaked it in wine. After cutting off the head, he found a place to bury it. Then, he peeled the snake skin and cut the snake into pieces. He first used a big pot to cook it, and then added some medicinal herbs and other ingredients. Then, he went to kill the pangolin.
