Scout

Chapter 6 Surprise assessment (2)
The first class soldier lost his footing and fell to the ground, rolling around twice before stopping.

Li Weiguo didn't get entangled with the two of them, and after succeeding in succession, he passed between them and ran towards the destination in one breath.

"Boy, don't go!" The first class soldier got up from the ground, pulled the recruit and chased after him.

There was a man standing on the hillside. Seeing Li Weiguo running over, he looked at the watch in his hand, smiled and said, "28 minutes, not bad."

Li Weiguo panted heavily with his hands on his legs, and squinted at him. He was a non-commissioned officer who looked a bit cynical.

"Boy, you run really fast!" The first class soldier ran over from behind, panting and glaring at Li Weiguo.

"It's none of your business here, you go back first." The sergeant said to the two people behind.

"Ah?" The first class soldier looked at the non-commissioned officer and then at Li Weiguo, thinking of avenging the crime just now.

"I said you can go back." The sergeant repeated.

The private officer looked at the non-commissioned officer again, and said unwillingly, "Boy, you are lucky this time." After speaking, he turned around and shouted at the recruit, "Let's go!"

After the two irrelevant people left, the sergeant smiled at Li Weiguo and said, "Hey, do you want to rest for a while?"

"Ren...mission, what...what...mission?" Li Weiguo asked panting.

"Did you see this bowl of rice?" The sergeant came to Li Weiguo with a bowl full of rice.

"I see." Li Weiguo nodded, he didn't understand what the half bowl of rice had to do with his mission.

The non-commissioned officer smiled lightly, and suddenly with a flick of his wrist, the rice grains splashed out like water and scattered all around.He handed the bowl to Li Weiguo: "Pick up all the rice, only one grain at a time, no less."

"What?" Li Weiguo frowned and looked at the rice on the ground.

Although the ground here is relatively flat, there are many weeds and small stones, and the rice grains have already been hidden in it, so it is difficult to find them.

"Remember! Pick them all up, not a single one less! Hehe." The sergeant said with a small smile, "Well, and, call me when you finish picking, I have another order to tell you .”

At the next instruction, Li Weiguo was attracted by these words, but when he turned his head, he saw that the sergeant had already walked to the side of the stone and sat down, pretending that he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

It seems that this is not my last task.Li Weiguo thought in his heart, since he still has another order, he can't waste any more time here, so he immediately turned around and walked back.

Seeing that Li Weiguo turned around and left, the sergeant thought he had given up on this mission, so he laughed disdainfully, but then he saw Li Weiguo squatting down and rummaging between the weeds and stones very seriously. , asked curiously: "Hey! Just now I stood here and poured out the rice. Why did you go back so far? Is there any rice there?"

"Because you said you wanted to pick up all the rice without leaving any grains." Li Weiguo replied without raising his head, and he didn't even bother to talk nonsense to the other party.He is very tired now, the five-kilometer cross-country journey has almost exhausted his physical strength, and he doesn't even have time to rest. He still has to squat here to do such delicate work, picking up rice.

"Does it matter?" the sergeant asked, and seeing that Li Weiguo didn't speak, he raised his voice and shouted, "Hey! Boy, you are just a recruit. I'm a second-level non-commissioned officer. It's not too much for you to call me an old squad leader." Right? Now that the old squad leader is asking you something, you should at least answer me politely, right?"

Li Weiguo was questioned a few times before he said: "First of all, let me ask you a question. If the golf ball falls into the lawn and disappears, how can you find it as quickly as possible?"

"Start looking in the middle of the lawn!" The sergeant immediately replied, feeling that the question was too simple.

Li Weiguo shook his head and continued to pick up his own rice.

"Why, isn't it?" The sergeant looked at Li Weiguo suspiciously, then thought for a while and then said, "Take another golf ball and throw it on the lawn in the same way, remember its position, if there is nothing wrong, then the previous golf ball The ball is near!"

Li Weiguo shook his head again, and then the sergeant gave several answers one after another. Li Weiguo's answer was only to shake his head.

"What, isn't it right?!" The sergeant was a little annoyed, feeling as if he had been played with, no matter how many answers he gave, he got up from the stone and walked to Li Weiguo, and said in a deep voice, "Boy, are you right?" Are you playing me? If the answer I said is wrong, then tell me, how can I find that ball on the lawn the fastest?"

"Advance slowly from the edge of the lawn." Li Weiguo said simply.

The sergeant was startled, he had given all the answers just now, but he didn't say this answer, because he thought it was the most stupid and stupid way.Now think about it carefully, the answers I said earlier, such as throwing another ball, are all opportunistic and may not really work.Doing things should not be opportunistic. Sometimes the most stupid and stupid way is often the most direct and effective way.Just like Li Weiguo, don't look at him taking a few steps back as if he is stupid, but doing so will not make him miss what he is looking for.

After thinking about this, the sergeant looked at Li Weiguo who was squatting on the ground and picked up rice seriously, and smiled softly: "That's right, you can continue to pick up."

You can only pick up one grain of rice at a time. This seems to be a very common and common thing, but it is a test of a person's endurance and concentration.If you don't have enough stamina and concentration, such an ordinary thing will often drive people crazy.

After two full hours, Li Weiguo finally finished picking up the rice. He came to the sergeant with half a bowl of rice and asked, "Please tell me what the next order is?"

The sergeant took the bowl and smiled and said, "You are smarter than I imagined. To be honest, I thought you would have to pick up this bowl of rice until it was dark, but I didn't expect you to spend only two hours." He saw Li Weiguo seemed a little impatient, eager to know the remaining instructions, so he put away his smile and said seriously: "Congratulations, you have passed the test."

"Passed?" Li Weiguo looked at the sergeant in surprise, not understanding what he meant.Passed the test, if this is the half-year assessment and I just finished it like this, isn't it a bit too simple?He couldn't believe it, staring at the non-commissioned officer and asked, "You mean to say that I passed the half-year assessment?"

"That's right, you have passed the half-year assessment." The sergeant replied seriously, without any intention of joking, and reached into his pocket and took out a red ribbon and handed it over, "You wrap this around your arm, as long as Seeing this, no one will bother you on the way, and you can just go back to the company."

"I... I really passed the half-year assessment?" Li Weiguo took the red ribbon and still couldn't believe that he passed the assessment so easily.

In fact, Li Weiguo's assessment was not easy at all, and it was also very difficult.First, they ran a distance of fifteen kilometers at night, and many enemies were hidden along the way, and there was a danger of being caught if they were not careful.Then there was the five-kilometer cross-country. Under the condition of severe physical exhaustion, I ran five kilometers in full gear within half an hour. If I didn't have amazing perseverance, I would have fallen down a long time ago.The last thing is to pick up the rice. As the sergeant said, if it is another person, it may be dark to pick up the rice. I don’t know if I can finish picking up the rice.

"Hey, are you going or not? Let me tell you, I've been waiting for you here all night, and I haven't had a bite of food yet. If you don't want to leave, then stay here alone!" the sergeant yelled road.

"Wow! I passed the examination!" Li Weiguo suddenly shouted loudly, startling the non-commissioned officer in front of him.

"You fucking insane, what's your name?" The sergeant said angrily, seeing Li Weiguo turned and ran away, he suddenly called out, "Hey! Boy, what's your name?"

"Li Weiguo!" Li Weiguo replied while running, not feeling tired at all.

When Li Weiguo returned to the company, the sky was already dark, and the company commander Wang Feng was standing at the door of the company. When he saw the red ribbon on Li Weiguo's left arm, he showed an imperceptible smile. He nodded his head first and said: "Well, let's go back and rest first." After speaking, he turned his head and shouted inside: "Zhao Qiang! Zhao Qiang! Get some food for the soldiers in your class!"

"Yes, company commander!" Li Weiguo saluted the company commander and walked into the gate of the company, and then met Zhao Qiang who came out from inside, and immediately saluted and shouted: "Squad leader."

Zhao Qiang was also very happy to see the red ribbon wrapped around Li Weiguo's left arm. He took the backpack and weapons and equipment from Li Weiguo and said, "Go, let's eat inside first!"

"Yes!" Li Weiguo responded, and when he followed the squad leader to the cafeteria, he saw more than 20 recruits lying on the playground doing push-ups, so he asked curiously: "Squad leader, are there so many people who came back earlier than me? "

Zhao Qiang glanced at the recruits doing push-ups, and replied angrily: "Yes, they all came back before you, but none of them passed the examination. Have you seen those two guys in our class?"

Li Weiguo saw Zhao Cai and Li Hu, who were in the same class, and asked suspiciously, "They didn't pass the exam either?"

As soon as Zhao Qiang mentioned Zhao Cai, the two became even more angry, and said in a low voice: "Huh! Li Hu was caught just after running five kilometers. It's really fucking useless; Zhao Cai is okay, and he persisted until noon today, yes I finished playing when I passed the minefield." He said in a low voice: "These two guys don't want to eat today, let's see how I train them two in the future!"

"What about Yu Shumi?" Li Weiguo asked.

Zhao Qiang turned his head and glanced outside the gate: "He hasn't come back yet, I think he's hanging too!" After speaking, he walked into the cafeteria with Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo killed three bowls of noodles in one go, which is considered to have regained some vitality, and then rested on the playground, waiting for the end of the assessment.

The recruits returned to the company one by one, and most of them failed the assessment. Only five of them passed the assessment, including Li Weiguo. The recruits were lying on the ground doing push-ups.

Li Weiguo remembered that the assessment started at around [-]:[-] pm yesterday, that is to say, the assessment will be over by [-]:[-] tonight.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, Yu Shumi was the only recruit who didn't rush back.Squad leader Zhao Qiang began to worry about Yu Shumi's safety, and brought the veterans in the squad to the company commander and asked, "Company commander, let us go out and look for it!"

In fact, the recruits participating in the assessment are accompanied by a veteran who is responsible for their safety. If there are not enough veterans, they will be replaced by officers such as the platoon leader, and the instructor Huang Rui will be behind Yu Shumi, so there is no need to send anyone out. .Zhao Qiang didn't know, it was just because everyone was in the same class, so it was natural to be worried, and they were not too reassured about the instructor who was born as a talented student, and they were worried that something might happen to the two of them.

As soon as Li Weiguo heard that he was going out to find someone, he immediately ran over and shouted, "Squad leader, I'll go with you!"

Zhao Cai and Li Hu, who were being punished, did not fall behind, and immediately ran over and shouted, "Let's go too!"

"You've been tired all day, stay and rest." Zhao Qiang said to Li Weiguo, and then yelled at Zhao Cai and Li Hu angrily, "You two are here to join in the fun, why don't you hurry back and continue to be punished!"

"Squad leader, I'm not tired, I'll go with you!" Li Weiguo begged again.

"Squad leader, let the two of us go together, and you can punish us both as you want when you come back!" Li Hu and Zhao Cai also shouted from the side.

"No!" Zhao Qiang shouted resolutely.

When Li Weiguo and the others were debating whether to go together, Wang Feng suddenly smiled and said, "None of you need to go, they are back!"

Li Weiguo and the others hurriedly looked over, and saw two people walking slowly a hundred meters away under the searchlight, but one of them was limping when he walked, all supported by a branch as thick as his wrist.

"It's really them! Squad leader, Yu Shumi seems to be injured!" Li Weiguo shouted, and he saw that it was Yu Shumi who had trouble walking.

Everyone rushed over together, and when they came to the front, they found that Yu Shumi's right foot was swollen with a bun the size of a steamed bun.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Cai and Li Hu who were being punished immediately pulled Yu Shumi and shouted: "Come on, we two will carry you back!"

"Wait, you put me down, let me down quickly!" Yu Shumi cried out, struggling desperately.

The instructor Huang Rui on the side also pulled Zhao Cai and Li Hu and shouted: "You two quickly put him down, this is an order!"

Seeing that the instructor had spoken, Zhao Cai and Li Hu had no choice but to put Yu Shumi down, but Monk Zhang Er was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"It's okay, I'm okay, I can walk back by myself!" Yu Shumi said gratefully to everyone, and continued to walk forward after landing.

"Instructor, what's going on?" Zhao Qiang asked.

"His last task is to return to the company, which must be done by himself." Huang Rui said, looking at the limping Yu Shumi, he sighed, "I have already walked more than ten kilometers like this, His will is really strong!"

After figuring out what was going on, everyone encouraged Yu Shumi from the sidelines: "Shumi, it's still a long time, don't worry, you can definitely do it!"

"Yes, there is plenty of time, don't be in such a hurry!"

"Hold on, we all support you!"

"Persevere, there are only tens of meters left, and we will be there soon!"

"Hold on, hold on!"

……

All the officers and soldiers of the company came out to surround Yu Shumi to escort him. Among them, Li Weiguo, Zhao Cai, and Li Hu, the three comrades in the same class, who yelled the loudest. Immediately lifted it over the top of the head, shouting excitedly: "Oh... oh! Passed the test, brat, you passed the test! Great, oh... really good!"

The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly pushed to a climax, and the veterans of the same class also threw Yu Shumi into the air, fell down and threw them into the air again, until the instructor tried to stop them, and then they remembered that Yu Shumi was still a wounded person.

In the end, a total of six recruits passed the half-year assessment.
