I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies - Chapter 194 Vacation (Part 2)
“Yi Yang, did you hear your stomach growling?”
“Yeah, I heard that.”
“Is it yours?”
“no.”
“Oh, that must be mine.” Wang Sangning said.
“…”
At this moment, their class has completed the top priority: there is a stable camp. The boys and girls have laid out mattresses in their respective tents, facing the pond, and there is a burning bonfire next to them. Everyone was very satisfied. They had just had lunch. The military rations were just a curiosity. They didn’t taste particularly good, but they were very delicious.
Lying down when you are tired and eating when you are hungry are two of the three most wonderful things in life.
After eating and drinking, the other three girls and the other three boys each got into the tent to take a nap. It was still cloudy at this time, approaching autumn weather, and the high clouds were as soft as a girl’s skirt.
Yi Yang didn’t go in, and neither did Wang Sangning. They both sat on the big stone by the pond.
Wang Sangning sighed silently: “What should we do next?”
The problem of eating.
Yi Yang looked at Wang Sangning’s chest… and then pointed: “Give me that.”
Wang Sangning was stunned and looked down to see the regimental emblem pinned to his chest.
“This? You want this…” Take it off and hand it to Yi Yang.
Yi Yang smiled and said, “Want to eat grilled fish?”
…
Wang Sangning watched silently as Yi Yang pulled out a piece of thread from a PE rope used to tie up tents, which was only one or two meters long. He then took off the pin on the regimental emblem and pulled off the needle part. Bake it on the fire, bend it into the shape of a fishhook, and then thread it with a piece of PE thin wire to become a fishhook.
Wang Sangning was a little surprised and asked, “Are you fishing?”
Yi Yang smiled, then hoeed the ground with a shovel and dug a few times. The ground below became moist, and sure enough, he found a few wriggling earthworms. On the other hand, he said: “I just saw that there are fish in the pond here. They are probably specially raised by the base. You can give it a try and see if you can catch it, but there are not only fish, there are also many fish in that small hill. There are too many rabbits and chickens. We will make some traps later and place them in some places where they may hang out…”
“Can you catch it?”
“I don’t know about this. If we catch it, we can have a tooth festival tonight, and we can grill fish and rabbits and so on. If we can’t catch it… we’re really hungry, so let’s just quit. It’s not a big deal. .”
Wang Sangning became excited, grilling fish was really exciting. Then Yi Yang took apart a section of PE wire and made two rope knot traps. She didn’t know how to do these things and watched with big eyes. After the things were ready, the two of them said hello to the other people in the tent and headed towards the hill.
…
Just when everything was going smoothly for Yi Yang and his group, Chief Instructor Ren was having a hard time.
He was opposed to allowing these half-grown students to participate in this kind of wilderness survival training, but the school put forward the demand and coordinated with such a large base to do this. Of course, they as instructors had no choice but to cooperate. .
The reason for the opposition is, on the one hand, concerns about safety. If the battle line is too long, it will be quite troublesome if some uncontrollable situations occur. On the other hand, after just one afternoon of theoretical explanation, there is really no way to expect these students to master much knowledge of wilderness survival.
The results of the inspection just now also confirmed some ideas.
Generally speaking, high school students do have some ability to solve problems independently, and they can basically put up a tent. That tent was not a marching tent, but a civilian leisure camping tent. It was relatively light and according to the drawings, there was really no problem.
Some students also very creatively used tree trunks, branches and nearby weeds to build a sheltered camp… Although it was useless, it was indeed amazing. Most of the students went step by step, found a piece of flat land, and set up camp honestly. Of course, some small things happened during this period, such as making the fire very smoky, for example, a group of students reversed the inner and outer layers of the tent, and never found a way out… But in general, they were all innocuous little things. During this process, they cooperated with each other and gradually developed a tacit understanding. Groups laughed and chattered, which not only exercised their hands-on ability, but also their communication skills.
From this level, it makes sense.
The biggest headache for instructor Ren is the problem of food.
After all, setting up a tent and setting up a camp is a simple mode, which is quite simple for high school students. But getting food in the wild is not that simple.
He had just gone around in a circle, and most of the team’s attention was still on how to distribute military rations. If there is no way to increase revenue, then cut back on expenditure! This idea cannot be said to be wrong. After all, there are many things that can be done according to the ability. It can be seen that they are very much looking forward to completing this training mission.
But the direction is wrong… we need to find a way to open source it.
Some classes are more gratifying. Occasionally, there are a few students from rural areas who can recognize some wild vegetables and use a multi-functional shovel as a pot to stir-fry, or use a lunch box to make soup or something, which is very good. There are also some fruit trees nearby, and you can eat them if you find them, but after all, only a few students have tried them. It can be seen that the things that can be eaten in the wild that were mentioned during the theoretical explanation yesterday afternoon did not significantly change the situation at hand.
Most children go hungry.
This is something that makes instructor Ren a little sad. During the inspection, some children were also reminded, but after all, they lacked practical experience in this area, and limited reminders could not change substantial things.
But so far, no class has reported withdrawal. This is surprising. I originally thought that students from such a good school are often raised by pampered families. When they are hungry, they will not be able to hold on. After thinking about it, these children can endure the hardship of studying. Now, The suffering is really not considered suffering.
Indeed, just as instructor Ren thought, although some students had to go hungry for a while, everyone was in a good mood. This kind of wilderness survival training was a very rare experience. In some classes, eight students shared two meals a day. A portion of military rations, so save on eating. Although each person doesn’t eat much, it is extremely delicious.
Overall, the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant.
It’s just that this emotion is gradually diluted as the sky gets darker. After it gets dark, especially some girls still can’t stand it. There were simple lighting equipment in the tent, but the pitch-black environment around them seemed to immerse them all in darkness… This was something that could not be overcome by just relying on hard work. So at ten o’clock in the evening, some students reported and quit.
The rule is that as long as one person quits in a class, everyone must also quit.
This of course also means that they have no chance of excellence.
Some girls feel that they have brought down their teammates and cry profusely. Their teammates either comfort them or sigh unhappily…
As dusk approached, the base fell silent.
But this does not reassure instructor Ren and other school teachers. After night, we should strengthen patrols and tighten our nerves.
Director Wu, who was the instructor and his companion, held a big flashlight and looked around in the moonlight. During the day, the location of each class tent had been marked, and the instructors had designated areas for inspection. He and Director Wu were in charge of the overall situation, and they would not be relieved if they did not go through them all.
Don’t even think about sleeping this night.
“Let the students engage in outdoor survival, but it is you, the teachers, who are training them,” instructor Ren joked.
Tired from walking, Director Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head and said, “Isn’t it?”
“I said what are you trying to do?”
Director Wu laughed twice. He really couldn’t explain some educational matters to Instructor Ren, so he thought for a while and asked: “Instructor Ren, what do you think the meaning of our military training is?”
“What’s the point…” Instructor Ren rolled his eyes, but it was inconvenient to say some words, which were not very positive.
Director Wu said to himself: “Actually, there is really no need for this kind of military training at the High School Affiliated to Normal University, because these children can get what they get from military training earlier. Here, you already have it.”
“For example, self-discipline, persistence…” The moonlight shone on Director Wu’s face, and he said calmly: “These children are selected from the best in the province. Do they lack self-discipline? At least most of them do. “
“Then there’s obedience… We’ve thought about it. During military training, we can develop some awareness of obedience, but they are not afraid of jokes. These boys are already thinking about things, although they are not yet mature… but they can distinguish between necessary obedience and Meaningless coercion, things they think they should not obey, we can only guide…”
Instructor Ren was speechless for a moment and said, “Then this military training…”
“On the one hand, let them know about this school. Of course, it does not mean that we can see the outline of our school by having such a unique military training, but at least we can see on the one hand that if they stay for a long time in the future, the school will be All aspects will gradually outline their impression of this school. On the other hand…” Instructor Ren smiled, “We hope that as soon as they enter this school, they will have a wonderful memory, and then… Make them fall in love with this school. That’s important, incredibly important.”
“One day when they graduate and think back to this school, we hope they will smile and say, ah, this is their alma mater and their youth. At this point, we are doing better than No. 1 Middle School. .”
Instructor Ren was stunned and shook his head: “You are too literary… To put it bluntly, I just want to capture these boys for a vacation.”
“Ha ha……”
“Your school is really willing to spend money.”
“Hey……”
“But it’s not very kind. If that’s the case, why do you let these children starve?”
“Life can never be too smooth, otherwise it will be boring to recall in the future. Do you think, many years later, they will recall a few people gathered around the camp and shared a small bag of military rations, is that youthful? What if I was like that back then? The school has this condition and I will love it my whole life.”
“Ha ha ha ha……”
As he spoke, he inspected some camps.
Fortunately, it didn’t rain today, and the outdoor temperature at night was suitable, creating good conditions for this training. Along the way, the lights in most tents were on, so there were no surprises. Chattering sounds came from the tent, and I could feel that they were in good condition.
Gradually, the tension between the two of them relaxed.
After walking for a while in such an atmosphere, the two of them were suddenly stunned…
A fire suddenly appeared not far away, dancing in the darkness. The two looked at each other and walked over quickly… After getting closer to see the situation clearly, they both fell silent for a long time.
In an open space next to the pond, the dry firewood collected made a popping sound when burning, and the flames rose. Everyone sat together… to grill fish, and a girl picked up the fish meat and ate it, her face The happiness was almost overflowing. Everyone was grilling fish and singing… Oh, there was also a boy who kept swatting mosquitoes… That was Wang Jie.
Instructor Ren and Director Wu looked at each other and walked over quickly.
The first person to see the two of them was Li Maoxin. He stood up in a whoosh, holding the grilled fish in one hand and having nowhere to put his other hand. Noticing Li Maoxin’s movements, everyone looked over… The last person to react was Wang Sangning. Xu Xiaofen poked her and she raised her head. Her oily lips were like strawberries with dewdrops.
“Who did it?” Instructor Ren asked.
Everyone felt inexplicably that they had made a mistake, and they all lowered their heads subconsciously. Only Yi Yang smiled and said, “There is a beggar’s chicken under the fire…”
Instructor Ren’s eyes swept over everyone’s faces, and the air became quiet, with only the sound of the flames beating.
Suddenly, he burst out laughing: “Well done!”
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Director Wu felt very relieved. He looked at the faces of several people carefully, tried to write down their appearance, and asked their names one by one. The tense atmosphere finally dissipated. Then Director Wu and Instructor Ren sat down. Wang Jie very sensibly handed over the grilled fish, but was declined politely. Then I asked them about their experience today, and everyone started talking about it.
“Well done, why do you think you were able to do so well?”
Everyone chirped a few words, and there were various answers, such as everyone worked together and cooperated, and instructor XX taught well. Then Xu Xiaofen said: “The main thing is that our squad leader and deputy squad leader lead well.”
Instructor Ren was happy again and pointed at Wang Jie: “Tell me, is there anything you particularly admire about your squad leader?”
Wang Jie hesitated and said: “Uh… uh… our squad leader, our squad leader is very down-to-earth in life, down-to-earth in work, down-to-earth in study… and he is also very down-to-earth in ordering people…”
Instructor Ren looked at Wang Sangning again: “Deputy squad leader, tell me.”
“Squad leader, he is very flexible in his behavior and assigns tasks fairly and justly. The key is that what he says is correct and everyone is willing to listen to his orders…”
“And the most important thing.” Wang Sangning said: “When everyone is hungry, what we eat is grilled fish.”
The weather had already turned from cloudy to sunny, and thin clouds cast a veil over the sky. The moonlight is very beautiful, and the bright moon is like a fried shortbread that has just been baked. Wang Sangning smiled lightly, her mind filled with the smell of the grilled fish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
