Special Years

The shadow looked around and determined that no one was there, so he lowered his head and walked to a small wall.

Under the faint light, solemnly saw that this shadow, like him, was a new recruit who had just joined the army. He was also wearing a familiar winter training uniform, carrying a backpack that was **** by the military, with a military satchel on his waist and a shoulder belt. The right side is also tied with a white towel uniformly distributed by the Ministry of Armed Forces.

The shadow looked down there, picked up a few bricks from the ground, looked at them in the faint moonlight, and finally picked up one of them and tapped lightly.

click—

The bricks snapped.

Hei Ying nodded slightly, with a look of joy on his face, and said to himself, "That's right."

Afterwards, he carried the two bricks in his hand and left happily.

Waiting for the others to leave, Zhuang Yan came out from the corner and walked suspiciously to the low wall.

The ground was a mess of bricks, but there was nothing else.

Zhuang Yan picked up a brick and knocked on the low wall like a shadow.

The damp brick broke into two pieces without much effort.

"What a broken brick!"

Zhuang Yan didn't understand why Sombra came here to get the bricks. Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. He went back to the warehouse wall and continued to pour water. After finishing it, he went back to the platform and lit a cigarette. Go to the center of the station.

When we arrived at the meeting point, I saw from a distance that there were countless people gathered there, at least two hundred recruits were surrounded, just as lively as the aunts who went to the market surrounded the promotion booth.

Some of the recruits who couldn't squeeze in outside stood on tiptoe, some ran and jumped, and some tried their best to squeeze in, with all kinds of bizarre movements.

"He Huan, what are you looking at?" Zhuang Yan found He Huan in the crowd, and asked him.

He Huan stretched his neck and tiptoed to look at the center of the crowd, and said, "I don't know, I just arrived."

The solemn interest suddenly came up, and he liked the liveliness the most.

"Go, go in and have a look!"

After speaking, he repeated the same trick again, shouting loudly, "Be careful with boiling water, be careful with boiling water! Get out of the way, out of the way!"

Then, before the startled recruits came back to their senses, they squeezed in like a loach.

The two of them smugly entered the front of the circle, and they didn't care if someone was scolding her mother behind, so they didn't hear it.

In the center of the circle surrounded by the crowd, an open space of about 30 square meters has been vacated.

In the open space in the center, a recruit is punching.

This recruit is strong in stature, vigorous and flexible in his movements, and his boxing skills are fierce. It seems that he has been trained.

When he saw the face of the new recruit Puquan, Zhuang Yan was greatly surprised.

"Isn't this the guy who picked up the bricks just now?"

Looking at the ground again, as expected, two red bricks were placed not far away.

"This guy... hum!"

Zhuang Yan's brain is not stupid, he can see what the other party wants to do at a glance, and he can't help sneering secretly.

After a set of boxing was finished, the sweaty recruits withdrew their fists, and a cadre who led the troops with a captain took the lead in applauding.

The surrounding applause sounded like a tidal wave. The recruit in the center of the field took off his training cap, wiped the sweat from his hair, and his face was flushed. Very Jianghu gas gesture.

"Not bad, not bad! It looks a bit like, it's a good material for a soldier!"

With a wave of his hand, he said loudly, "Do you still want to watch it?!"

"I want to see it!"

"I want to see it!"

"another one!"

Zhuang Yan noticed that the ones who shouted the most were the few female soldiers I saw at the door of the toilet just now.

The captain said to the boxing recruit: "Xu Xingguo, another one! Show all the new comrades what you are capable of!"

The captain was obviously very familiar with this recruit named Xu Xingguo, and Zhuang Yan felt that this should be the cadre who was responsible for bringing the new recruits.

"Yes! I promise to complete the task, Chief!"

Xu Xingguo was a little proud, and when he was happy, he gave a crooked military salute.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Zhuang Yan couldn't help but think contemptuously: "I really take myself seriously, isn't this cheating..."

He suddenly understood why Xu Xingguo went to the warehouse and took two moldy bricks.

It seems that the next good show is about to appear.

Xu Xingguo picked up the two bricks from the ground. On the surface, the cleaned bricks were no different from ordinary fire bricks. Among the people present, only Zhuang Yan understood what he was going to do.

Sure enough, Xu Xingguo in the field turned his training hat backwards, turned the brim of his hat upside down, then picked up the brick on the ground, made a serious stance, shouted loudly, held the brick in one hand and clenched a fist in the other, and did a few tricks. A work of luck, and then slammed out a punch.

Snapped-

With a muffled sound, the bricks snapped.

Before the recruits cheered, Xu Xingguo picked up the brick on the ground again, pressed it on the broken half of the brick, and split his hand.

Snapped-

The brick was broken into two pieces.

The surrounding recruits clapped their palms like chicken blood and cheered thunderously.

Zhong Shan, the cadre who received the troops from Zhuang Yan, glanced at the captain enviously and said, "That's right, Lao Li, you have received a good soldier this time. This soldier can go to the reconnaissance company!"

"Fat water doesn't flow to outsiders' fields." The captain smiled: "I told our battalion commander long ago that if we want to go, we will go to our Eighth Company."

The captain's name is Li Ding. He is a veteran deputy company commander of the Eighth Company of the Third Battalion.

The Third Battalion and Eighth Company is the Hero Company, which was once awarded the title of "Iron Eighth Company" by the headquarters, and is a well-known top company in the regiment.

Li Ding asked Zhong Shan again, "I heard that you went to a developed coastal city to receive troops this time. It's much better than me going to the mountains and nooks to receive troops, right?"

"Cough—" Zhong Shan's face turned green when he mentioned this time receiving troops, and remembering the batch of city soldiers he had received this time.

Zhong Shan is a son of a farmer, and subconsciously he has some prejudice against city soldiers.

In his opinion, the city soldiers are just gilding the army. Because of policy issues, they go back to have a job placement, which is an iron rice bowl, so no one wants to suffer too much in the army, and one by one goes to the military. When the term expires, it slips faster than a rabbit, and no one wants to stay in the army.

But the soldiers from the countryside are different. The life of the army is already very good for them. Most of them are willing to work in the army for a lifetime, so they are naturally more hard-working than the urban soldiers in training.

Seeing that Zhong Shan's face was darker than the ashes at the bottom of the stove, Li Ding could guess the reason with his toes, he stretched out his hand and patted Zhong Shan's shoulder proudly: "It's okay, maybe it is There's gold you haven't found yet."

"Come on, it's good to have a piece of iron!" Zhong Shan's face darkened even more.

Li Ding became more and more complacent. He turned around and shouted at the group of soldiers Zhong Shan received: "Our new comrades in Nanyue Province, who would come out and show their hands!"

Zhuang Yan's group are all coastal city soldiers. To put it bluntly, none of them can fight, let alone open a brick with their fists. Not a single one of the long punches that Xu Xingguo hit just now.

The team on Zhongshan's side was suddenly silent.

A smug expression appeared on the faces of the recruits from Ganxi Province, and they looked at the recruits on the opposite side with joy.

The Nanyue soldiers bowed their heads one by one, their hearts were terribly helpless. They were all eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys. Their blood was not much cooler than boiling water, but their skills were inferior to others. Let’s fight, it’s okay to fool around, but it’s hard work to open a brick, and it’s not that you can solve problems with courage.

"Some people believe in the tricks of performing arts in all corners of the world. These days, there are so many liars, not enough fools..." Zhuang Yan hid in the team and couldn't help sneering.

His voice was not loud, but as the cold wind blew into everyone's ears.

Several officers in charge of receiving troops all turned their attention to the place where the sound came from.

"Who?!" Li Ding's face became angry, "Who was talking just now? If you have the ability, welcome to come out and perform!"

Zhuang Yan whispered a few words in He Huan's ear, then curled his lips, took a step forward, and said in a condescending tone: "Report to the head, I'm not weird, I can also open a brick."

When Zhong Shan saw that the person who came out was Zhuang Yan, he was startled and couldn't help scolding: "Zhuang Yan, you are making a fool of yourself!"
