A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 26 Come, let’s practice alone, three against one!

The rain stopped.

It's rare for Lao Ma to get up early.

When he thought he was the first one to get up, Feng Yuxiu had already run five kilometers back.

"Have you been insisting on this since we came here?" Lao Ma was a little unbelievable. He had never paid attention to Feng Yuxiu before.

Feng Yuxiu nodded, "Squad Leader, do you have any food? I'm hungry."

Old Ma smiled and said, "Yes, I'll make it for you."

He was happy in his heart that this cold soldier was finally willing to have contact with him.

While Feng Yuxiu was having breakfast, Lao Ma pushed open the door of the dormitory.

It was dark and gloomy inside, and the rain over the past few days had made the room extremely damp.

Li Meng and the other two were sleeping soundly wrapped in quilts.

Lao Ma wanted to open his mouth, but finally his eyes dimmed, he closed the door and left.

The moment the door closed, the snoring in the dormitory stopped abruptly.

Li Meng, Lao Wei, and Xue Lin opened their eyes at the same time.

The three of them got up and stood in front of the window, watching the two people walk out in the morning light.

"Who is on guard today?" Li Meng asked in a low voice.

"I think it's me." Lao Wei replied.

"Are you still sleeping?" Xue Lin asked.

"Sleep, why not? The construction of socialism will still move forward in great strides even without me." Li Meng turned around and got into bed.

"Then I'll go stand guard." Lao Wei put on his clothes, grabbed his empty rifle and went out.

"Xue Lin, go to sleep! Repair the road! How can we repair it in this godforsaken place? The squad leader has such a crazy idea! Go to sleep! Don't tire yourself out!"

Li Meng's words made Xue Lin climb up.

But the two of them couldn't fall asleep.

A feeling of panic spread in the hearts of the two.

At this moment, they actually felt a little guilty about themselves.

"Xu Sanduo, I've been in the army for so many years, and I've seen many soldiers like you who fight like hell. Most of them have gone very far."

In the morning light and darkness, Lao Ma looked at the sack and searched for stones everywhere.

Feng Yuxiu hummed, his chest rising and falling slightly, and he took every step with force.

The blue veins on his legs bulged and then disappeared.

"Actually, I used to be a strong soldier. My army shooting and physical fitness were top-notch. But I don't know what happened. After being in this place, I lost all my energy and spirit."

Lao Ma felt a little tired. He put down the sack, wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the darkness in the distance.

"Now I understand. It was the line on my chest that was broken. Once it's broken, it can't be repaired."

"I might be retiring soon, but I can't just sit around and do nothing. I have to leave some trace of myself in the army when I leave."

"When a person dies, the ground stinks. I can't leave without leaving anything behind."

Lao Ma let out a long breath, "Back then, I was the second best shooter in the entire regiment. How...how did I end up like this now?"

Feng Yuxiu put down the fifty-kilogram stone and looked at the old soldier, who was full of twilight atmosphere, for the first time.

"Squad leader, I came from a rural area with many twists and turns. I have been working hard to achieve something in my heart, and I don't want to go back."

"I think you've got time."

Old Ma paused when he heard this. "I'm still in time? Really?"

Feng Yuxiu stared blankly into the distance, "Didn't you say you were building a road? That would be a shocking feat in any era. Is that really the road you're building?"

“The road of life is also a road.”

After saying that, Feng Yuxiu picked up the sack of stones and turned to walk towards Class 5.

Old Ma was completely shocked and murmured to himself, "The road of life is also a road. Yes, build a road!"

"Old Wei, it's been ten days, and the road seems to have been repaired very neatly." Li Meng was smoking a cigarette with more than a dozen cigarette butts thrown at his feet.

"Yeah." Old Wei lowered his head.

"Do you think it can really be repaired? That's a road. Is the squad leader possessed by a ghost? How about we find some old women to perform a ritual for him?"

Xue Lin grinned. "If you do anything like that, the company commander will blow you to pieces with anti-aircraft guns."

Li Meng walked to the table.

The poker cards that had been on the table for a long time were finally collected and stacked up.

Old Wei actually started to fold the quilt.

Xue Lin grabbed the broom and swept the floor.

Li Meng found the opening he had written hundreds of times on the paper under the playing cards. He picked it up, looked at the hundreds of words, and secretly tore it up. He had meant to keep it hidden from others, but unfortunately, Old Wei saw it and said, "Great writer, are you not going to write anymore?"

"Write, but I'd better write 2,000 words first to be more realistic."

Old Wei was stunned for a moment: "Then I will have to call you Li Meng from now on."

The three words "great writer" were secretly confiscated by Lao Wei.

The three of them felt a little confused.

They stood in the corner of the dormitory, each in a daze.

They didn't even dare to walk out of the dormitory door, like three thieves who couldn't see anyone.

I can only survive in the darkness of the dormitory.

night.

Old Ma washed his face exhausted.

But he found that Feng Yuxiu did not follow in.

So he lifted the door curtain and looked out.

Under the cover of night, Feng Yuxiu began his night run.

Lao Ma was shocked. He had been repairing the road for several days.

His body was almost reaching its limit, and if he sat on the bed now, he would fall asleep in seconds.

“Is this still a human being?”

He didn't know where Feng Yuxiu got the strength and energy to run every night.

"Monitor."

Li Meng hurried forward and helped Lao Ma sit on the stool.

Lao Wei and Xue Lin handed over the hot noodles and chili peppers mixed with soy sauce and vinegar.

"Squad leader, you eat, you eat." The three of them stood in front of him tightly and laughed.

Old Ma held his waist and sat up straight, "Tell me, what do you three want to do?"

"You talk about Li Meng." Old Wei took two steps back and lowered his head.

"Didn't you say that?" Li Meng went over to grab Lao Wang's sleeve, but was pushed away.

"Squad leader, let me tell you."

Xue Lin walked forward with his head lowered and gently squeezed Lao Ma's shoulder. "Captain, are you short of manpower for road construction?"

Lao Ma's whole body stiffened, and the three men lowered their heads in shame.

"Have you three figured it out, you bastards?" Old Ma smiled.

"I've figured it out. We're not going to continue like this."

"Actually, I just can't stay here. I really can't stay here, squad leader. I feel uncomfortable all over." Old Wei grinned.

"Alright, follow us tomorrow to build the road. This is hard work, by the way. If you quit, don't blame me for getting angry."

"No, no, I'll just treat it as a beacon for building socialism. I'll never back down!"

Only then did Old Ma pick up the noodles and start eating them.

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you something. It would be best if you listen to it. If you don't, just treat it as a fart."

“When we build roads, we are building the road of your life.”

All three of them were stunned.

boom!
The door was suddenly pushed open.

Feng Yuxiu walked in with Ye Feng, "Squad Leader, is there anything to eat?"

Lao Ma suddenly looked at the three of them and said, "Why are you all standing there? Go cook."

"Sergeant, you said that we feel comfortable cooking for you, so why should we cook for him? He's just a new recruit." Li Meng grinned and didn't move.

"That's right, why?" Old Wei and Xue Lin also stood there with their necks hung high.

Lao Ma looked a little unhappy.

Feng Yuxiu smiled slightly. "From the time I came here until now, you guys have always seemed unwilling to accept the defeat. Today I'll give you a chance. Want to go out and practice alone? I won't bully you. The three of you can come together."

"Come on, come out."

The three of them were stunned and looked at Lao Ma.

Lao Ma frowned, then smiled, "Go ahead, three against one."

"Let's go, three against one. If the squad leader gets hurt, don't say anything."

The three rolled up their sleeves and walked out.

Lao Ma put down his chopsticks and let these three idiots know what ambition is.

The road construction has brought out their sense of guilt, and once the road is completed, they will continue to live like this.

Only by forcing out their competitive spirit can we pull them out of the quagmire.

"Three against one, I have to go out and keep an eye on it. Xu Sanduo is so tired, can he win?"
