Chapter 1162
"Hey, I forgot at the time."
Cheng Cai waved his hand, a classic forgetting.
He said, "You guys don't know, this kid is good at studying, he's a seedling who can get into college. It's just that his family conditions are a bit poor, so his dad sent him to join the army. Joining the army is a bit bitter and tiring, but he doesn't have to worry about food and drink. And he's a bit timid, so he can also be tempered in our army. Don't you think so, Sanduo?"
"Huh?" Xu Sanduo was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Yes, you're right."
In fact, he did think so, but only the former. As for the latter part about being timid and needing tempering, that belonged to a goal, and he happened to have no goal. However, Cheng Cai spoke nicely, so whatever he said was right.
"You're quite bold?" Wang Yan looked at Cheng Cai with a smile.
Cheng Cai was also a little bully at home, of course he had a temper, and he was also a little unhappy.
"Not small." He also looked straight at Wang Yan, "No, buddy, what do you mean?"
Wang Yan had always been one to act rather than talk much, so without a word, he directly used a grappling move to counter-lock Cheng Cai's arm, pressed his head with one hand, and directly pressed him onto the bed.
"What are you doing? Why are you using your hands... ah..." Cheng Cai struggled wildly, shouting angrily.
However, Wang Yan only used a little strength, and Cheng Cai was left with only painful cries, because he felt his arm was about to break.
However, the painful cries couldn't be thorough either, as Wang Yan's hand pressing his head also increased strength, pressing his mouth shut.
"That's what I mean." Wang Yan said with a smile, "What are you showing off here for?"
"You ambushed me, if you have the ability, let me go!" Cheng Cai was unconvinced.
Wang Yan saw very clearly that the back of this kid's neck was completely red; firstly, he had lost face, and secondly, he was angry; he was truly extremely ashamed and angry.
The whole process was very fast; the people around naturally noticed that the atmosphere between Wang Yan and Cheng Cai was wrong, as if they were about to fight. But they never expected that he would use his hands directly without a word.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Cai was subdued; it couldn't even be called a round. A flash passed before everyone's eyes, and everything was over.
Little did they know, this was still Wang Yan deliberately controlling his speed to avoid exceeding human prominence, so that people could see the process, and of course, it was also for the sake of Cheng Cai's life. Otherwise, with the speed bonus of this move, Cheng Cai could easily die...
The few sentences of conversation between the two made people come back to their senses.
Xu Sanduo hurriedly leaned over: "Wang Yan, stop hitting him, let go quickly. Cheng Cai... he's quite good."
"Yeah, yeah, Wang Yan, everyone came to join the army together, it won't be good if the squad leader and the others come back and see this, and it's not a big deal, I think let's just forget it."
There were busybodies, but the busybodies didn't dare to speak loudly, so only a few people came over to persuade Wang Yan to stop.
"Everyone came to join the army, how can soldiers not spar with military skills? It's all just playing around, can you really get angry?"
Wang Yan lifted Cheng Cai up with a smile, pushed him aside, and beckoned to him, "Come, didn't you say I ambushed you? Don't say I didn't give you a chance, make your move."
Cheng Cai looked left and right, only feeling his face stinging extremely. He thought that those pairs of eyes were all watching his joke.
It had always been him watching others' jokes, how could there be a day when he became the joke?
He, would not allow it!
He looked angrily at Wang Yan, who was smiling and beckoning in front of him.
"F*** you!"
Then he rushed up, swung his arm around, and threw a hook punch, heading straight for Wang Yan's face.
Only to see Wang Yan step back half a step; it was this half step that made Cheng Cai's punch miss. It looked like a hair's breadth difference, but in reality, it was a thousand miles off.
With one punch missed, Cheng Cai was driven by the momentum of his angry full-force strike and couldn't help but spin around. It was also at this moment that Wang Yan grasped the gap when Cheng Cai turned his back and directly kicked him in the butt.
Cheng Cai was kicked staggering forward; if he hadn't been caught by the watching new recruits, he would have inevitably lost a front tooth or something.
"Buddy, that's enough." Someone persuaded like this.
"Yeah, isn't it obvious he can't beat him? One look and you can tell he's practiced, he even held back just now." Someone said the truth like this.
But it was the truth that hurt people.
Cheng Cai was even more angry, rushing straight to his brain; except for killing Wang Yan, he thought of nothing else.
"I'll fight you to the death, if you're awesome, kill me, if you can't kill me, I'll kill you."
"Playing dirty, huh?" Wang Yan shook his head amusingly, looking at Cheng Cai, who was being held back and struggling desperately.
Xu Sanduo hurriedly walked over to pull Cheng Cai: "Cheng Cai, forget it, everyone is..."
"Get lost, who do you think you are?"
"Come, come, come, you guys let him go, don't pull him, let me see how he's going to kill me." Wang Yan was still laughing, waving his hands at everyone.
Cheng Cai was even more angry, struggling desperately. But there were also realistic people among the new recruits, pulling Cheng Cai desperately, not letting Cheng Cai go get beaten.
The situation was very clear; Wang Yan had held back just now, if he hit again this time, it would be for real, and he could easily be beaten to death by Wang Yan...
Cheng Cai was clamoring, others were pulling, and the rest were watching the fun and exchanging views; it was much livelier than when the veteran squad leaders had just left, even more so than a vegetable market.
"What are you folding quilts for, gathering in a pile? Huh?"
Following a prominent shout that rang out abruptly in the barracks, the new recruits fell silent in unison, turned their heads to look, and saw Gao Cheng walking in with the veterans.
Then the new recruits automatically cleared a path, revealing Wang Yan, who was smiling in the middle, and Cheng Cai, whose eyes were red and face distorted.
"Whoa, fighting, are we?"
Gao Cheng walked over with his hands behind his back, and understood the situation at a glance.
He smiled, his face full of kindness, "Come, Wang Yan, tell me, what's going on?"
Wang Yan also smiled: "Report to the company commander, nothing, just sparring."
Gao Cheng smiled and turned to ask Cheng Cai, "That soldier, is that what happened?"
"Report to the company commander, no. Xu Sanduo is his bunkmate, I'm from the same village as Xu Sanduo, I was teaching Xu Sanduo how to fold a quilt, and he deliberately targeted me. And he was the one who hit me first, everyone saw it."
"Someone was teaching you how to fold a quilt, and you didn't thank them, but targeted them instead? Is that what happened?" Gao Cheng looked at Wang Yan.
The latter shook his head: "Nonsense, avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial. The fundamental reason is that I questioned his character, he got a temper, felt I was showing off, I felt I was awesome, didn't want to indulge his bad habits, so I sparred with him, that's what happened."
If Cheng Cai hadn't quibbled and hadn't been thinking of letting Gao Cheng make the decision, the reason Wang Yan just gave would have been quite good. Gao Cheng, of course, wouldn't really pursue it, punish both sides equally, have them run five kilometers or do a hundred or eighty push-ups, and that would be the end of it.
But Cheng Cai quibbled and attributed the problem to his Wang Mou's head, so of course he had to explain.
Gao Cheng had a dog's face, changing as soon as he said so; he was smiling just now, but now he immediately pulled a long face.
"Who are you smiling at? Be serious! You can fight, huh? You think you're special, huh?"
Gao Cheng shouted, "Assemble at the door!"
Having said that, he turned and left.
Immediately, the veteran squad leaders organized the new recruits to go to the door to stand in line...
"Wang Yan..." Xu Sanduo followed by Wang Yan's side, unable to help but tug at Wang Yan's clothes.
Wang Yan patted his arm: "It has nothing to do with you, don't overthink it, it was just two sentences that weren't said right. Look, our company commander didn't say we couldn't be soldiers anymore, it's no big deal."
"Still talking!" Wu Liuyi glared at Wang Yan, leaned over and lightly hit Wang Yan's shoulder with his fist, "You kid, you're looking for trouble as soon as you arrive?"
"I didn't look for trouble, he kept giving me words, asking what I meant, what else was I supposed to do with him."
"You better shut your mouth." Wu Liuyi glared again, and patted Wang Yan's back in annoyance.
After a brief contact, he found Wang Yan quite pleasing to the eye...
Very quickly, the ranks were assembled.
Gao Cheng stood in front of the ranks with his hands behind his back, looked sideways at Wang Yan in the ranks, and said: "What are you standing there for? Don't you know why you're assembled? Step out!"
"Yes!" Wang Yan responded, took a step out of the ranks.
Gao Cheng said: "You think you're quite awesome, huh?"
"Report to the company commander, quite awesome!"
Gao Cheng was so angry he laughed, reaching out to point at Wang Yan: "You're something. Practiced military boxing, good physique, can fight, huh? Wu Liuyi!"
"Here!"
"He is a soldier under you, he thinks he's quite awesome, quite capable of fighting, you spar with him."
"Yes!"
"Do you have anything to say?" Gao Cheng asked.
"Report, no."
"Good." Gao Cheng nodded in satisfaction, "Let's agree first, sparring between our own people, don't use lethal force. You've also practiced, hold back a bit. Come, demonstrate."
"Yes!" X2
"Wu."
Wang Yan smiled: "Don't get angry if you win or lose."
"Do you think my heart is that small?"
"We just met on the first day, I don't know, you're still my squad leader. Company commander, if you give me a hard time later, you have to make the decision for me."
"Get lost! Why are your words so dense? Hurry up!" Gao Cheng scolded with a smile.
"Then I'm coming, be careful."
"Hurry up, don't add drama to yourself." Wu Liuyi urged impatiently.
Wang Yan responded with a smile, walked to Wu Liuyi, stood sideways symbolically, raised his hands to his chest, shoulders tucked, and took a symbolic boxing stance.
Wu Liuyi was very confident, just standing there, beckoning to Wang Yan, signaling him to come on.
Wang Yan stepped forward two paces, throwing a straight punch to the face.
Wu Liuyi leaned back to dodge, preparing to avoid this punch and then attack; he was letting Wang Yan off.
But Wang Yan didn't want him to let him off, the momentum didn't stop, and he took another step forward, turning his body to strike from the back. He bumped Wu Liuyi, who was in a backward-leaning state and couldn't adjust his center of gravity, causing him to retreat three steps before stopping his figure, almost falling backward.
"You kid are something, I underestimated you, I won't let you off anymore."
This time it was Wang Yan's turn to beckon: "Come on."
Wu Liuyi smiled, then his face straightened, he approached in a few steps, and raised his foot to kick straight. Only to see Wang Yan dodge sideways, lightly and easily, as if a calm lake without a ripple.
As soon as the kicked foot landed, Wu Liuyi used the momentum, swung his arm around, and threw a big hook punch. Different from Cheng Cai's soft and powerless punch without accuracy, this hook of Wu Liuyi's was powerful and fierce. If an ordinary person met it, they would basically be KO'd by one punch.
But Wang Yan was not an ordinary person; he raised his arm and blocked this punch. The other hand lightly punched Wu Liuyi in the stomach.
Wu Liuyi didn't dodge, and didn't defend. This punch bent him over, baring his teeth and covering his stomach.
"I held back, don't frame me."
"It hurts even if you hold back, you really have two tricks, you didn't just practice military boxing, right?" Wu Liuyi asked while rubbing his stomach.
"Bajiquan, Xingyiquan, boxing, Sanda, Judo, I know a little bit of everything. I quite like these, I envy the masters who can fly over walls in novels, I spent money to learn from people, and I also pondered over books when I had nothing to do. Let's put it this way, in unarmed combat, I haven't met an opponent yet."
"Then you're really awesome, we'll come again later, I just don't believe it."
"Welcome anytime." Wang Yan shrugged his shoulders.
"You two are chatting quite well, huh?" Gao Cheng shouted with a straight face, "A new recruit, relying on knowing two tricks of fighting, having no collective, not observing discipline. One is a veteran who has served for six years, and is also an all-around elite soldier, can't beat a new recruit who just enlisted? You two still have the heart to chat? Huh? Ten kilometers!"
"Yes! Company commander!"
Wang Yan and Wu Liuyi stood straight and responded, then turned and ran, executing the order.
"What are you looking at? Huh?" Watching the two run far away, seemingly still laughing and talking, Gao Cheng turned his head to look at Cheng Cai in the ranks.
"Doesn't it have anything to do with you? You go, five kilometers!"
"Company commander, I am..."
"What are you? You think this is a vegetable market? Six kilometers! Squad leader supervise."
"Yes!" A veteran responded, then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Cheng Cai step out."
"Yes!"
Cheng Cai had no choice, he was afraid that if he dawdled, he would also run ten kilometers, so he immediately ran away following the veteran squad leader.
"The rest of you, go back and continue folding quilts, no talking allowed! Bring them back!"
Gao Cheng waved his hand, then turned and strolled toward the playground...
"No, why did you fight with that kid?" Wu Liuyi looked at Wang Yan who was following him.
"It's just that he came over to teach Xu Sanduo how to fold a quilt, Xu Sanduo said they were both from the same village, and also your fellow villager from Lower Banyan next door, so I asked him at home..."
After telling the process once, Wang Yan smiled, "That's what happened, it really wasn't a big deal."
"It's not that I'm talking about you, you're too reckless, you used your hands just because of these two sentences?"
"What else is there to dawdle about, being sarcastic is too boring, I find it annoying. Besides, I also have to show off, I was a bit too prominent when performing military boxing before, quite a few people seem to have opinions about me, thinking I'm showing off, that's not good. It just so happened that this kid popped up, so I used him to demonstrate. Let everyone know, I'm not showing off, I'm really awesome, and everyone will unite around me in the future."
Wu Liuyi wondered: "There's such a saying?"
"Do you really think I'm a reckless man? Zhang Fei can embroider, Li Kui can solve cases, you can't underestimate people."
In just these few sentences, Wu Liuyi discovered one thing. He wasn't running slowly, but the kid beside him could still chat and laugh with him, with ease.
"You're running quite easily?" But after asking, he realized he had spoken too much, "Look at my mouth, isn't this nonsense."
Wang Yan smiled: "The foundation of fighting is the body, can you do it if your body isn't good? Running trains endurance, I've been running since I was a kid. How about it, squad leader, spar?"
"I just don't believe it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Liuyi darted out.
"Why is the old squad leader taking advantage of a new recruit?"
Wang Yan shouted, but his feet weren't slow, speeding up to catch up...
Gao Cheng stood on the scene with a cigarette, seeing a scene that didn't exceed his expectations. Wu Liuyi was sprinting in front, Wang Yan was following closely behind, looking quite relaxed. Gao Cheng couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
That Wu Liuyi didn't beat Wang Yan was indeed unexpected, but it wasn't unacceptable.
It wasn't that there were no cases of new recruits beating veterans, although Wu Liuyi himself was an elite soldier. But there were many capable people in the army, a bunch of legends. Wu Liuyi's five-kilometer cross-country was so awesome, and he was only the second in the whole division.
Each generation is stronger than the last, which is of course a better thing. Everyone likes such soldiers, just be fierce, and Gao Cheng was no exception.
Another fierce general appeared under his command, Gao Cheng smiled and smoked his cigarette, feeling wonderful...
Cheng Cai didn't feel wonderful.
When Wu Liuyi and Wang Yan lapped him three times together, he was very desperate.
He never expected that he originally wanted to show off, but ended up losing both the person and the formation, becoming the background board for Wang Yan's showing off.
He had already reacted; he shouldn't have accused Wang Yan in front of the company commander. This was no different from a child fighting and telling the teacher, others looked down on him.
But what could he do?
He could only endure the discomfort and run through gritted teeth.
He had looked forward to the wonderful unfolding after enlisting countless times, but never expected it to be like this.
He couldn't help but sincerely bless Wang Yan's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart; that was the strength of his running...
