Chapter 43 About the monitor
Meet in this situation.
Wang Heng is also quite embarrassed. After all, he has reminded many times that freshmen are not allowed to smoke, especially during new training.
As a result, he, the squad leader who took the lead, was caught by the new students in the class hiding in the toilet to smoke.
At this time, the right hand holding the cigarette naturally ducked backwards.
Chen Jun calmed down.
He didn't expect to meet Wang Heng here. He just came out of the dormitory and didn't even look up to see if the person in the upper bunk was there.
Seeing the unnatural look on the monitor's face, he looked at the handful of cigarette butts in front of his squatting position. There were five or six cigarette butts.
Chen Jun walked to the urinal pretending to be natural, turned around, and said half-jokingly: "Don't worry, squad leader, I won't tell anyone about your secret smoking."
< br>Hearing this, Wang Heng's right hand froze and he nodded silently.
Now that he was discovered, he adhered to the principle of not wasting, put the almost burned out cigarette into his mouth, took a sharp sip, and threw the cigarette butt into the toilet with a snap of his fingers.
He then swept all the cigarette butts in front of him into the pit with his feet.
But the man still squatted there and didn't move.
When Chen Jun put on his pants, he turned around and saw that Wang Heng was still where he was.
I don’t know why, but at this time, Wang Heng didn’t feel as domineering as he did during the day.
Instead, there is an illusion of loneliness.
The squad leader didn’t leave, so Chen Jun couldn’t go back directly. He asked casually: “Squad monitor, are you worried about anything?”
Chen Jun originally wanted to ask casually by himself. , regardless of Wang Heng’s temper, at most he could wave his hand and tell him to go back to bed quickly.
He just walked down the slope and went back to sleep.
But then I thought about it, and it seemed that my question was not very good. Isn't the monitor's troublesome thing because he contradicted the other party today, and also won the physical competition?
The squad leader was probably worried about this incident, so he came to the bathroom to smoke in the middle of the night feeling depressed.
After thinking about this, Chen Jun suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
What he didn't expect was that when he asked, Wang Heng, who was squatting there, sighed.
Not only did he not let him go back, but he said quietly: "I was admitted to Xijing Border Defense Academy in 2009, did you know?"
"Yes, I know." Chen Jun nodded. .
It's not difficult to guess. The monitor is a junior this year and will be a senior when school starts. You can figure it out by extrapolating the time.
He knew he couldn't leave at this moment. After all, the first thing he said was when was the past year. This was obviously talking about the past, so he simply squatted by the urinal and listened quietly.
As a result, Wang Heng just said this, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, and handed one to Chen Jun. After being rejected, he lit one himself.
The smoke rose, and it took a while before he continued to speak.
“At that time, there were not so many new students in the Lu Academy, and the district team did not change as much as it did after the enrollment expansion this year.”
"At that time, a district team was in charge of three classes. I was in class six, and my squad leader was elected as the district captain."
"The squad leader's name is Cao Yang, probably because he was elected as the district captain. You want face, you want results.”
“Cao Yang has very strict requirements for the new students in his class.”
Wang Heng’s expression seemed to darken as he recalled the past.
Chen Jun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. From the perspective of a veteran, he had already guessed what happened.
In 2009, whether it was in the army or military academies, there were many examples of beatings, scoldings, severe punishments, and harsh treatment to train new recruits.
Even now, there has not been much improvement. He remembered that he truly implemented the principles of scientific training and safety training, and completely changed his appearance. That was all after 2018.
Of course, before this, the situation was getting better year by year.
"Then what?" Chen Jun asked.
"Then?" Wang Heng smiled bitterly.
"Then it was because I was weak at the time. In fact, even though my hometown was poor, I really didn't do much farm work when I was a child." I know how to chew books.”
“As a result, I became the freshman with the worst physical fitness in the class.”
“I’m not afraid of jokes. I just entered Luyuan and ran 3,000 meters under 12 minutes. It was actually to protect my face. If I had such a result, I would not be targeted later.” They didn’t like me, so they threw all the dry food I brought from home into the toilet on the first day.”
"That's the pancake that my mother worked so hard to prepare for me." Wang Heng said with a self-deprecating smile.
“I didn’t know that I couldn’t bring so many irrelevant things with me when I came to the Lu Academy to report.”
“When the new training started, because of my poor physical fitness, He was a drag on the whole class and was often punished for extra practice. "
"Even during the overall test of the class, the performance was lower than that of Class 5, and I was picked up to run and practice formation at night. "
"I remember Cao Yang's favorite saying at that time was that during the Long March, the older generation of soldiers endured so much hardship. You can't bear this little sin and you are not worthy of being a soldier."
" "Here, let me show you." Wang Heng stood up suddenly, opened his vest, and showed Chen Jun a scar on his arm that was thicker and longer than his thumb.
“This was when I was practicing push-ups. I had no strength and couldn’t get up. My squad leader kicked me with his foot. He probably didn’t mean it. There was a sharp stone stuck under the sole of his leather shoe.”< br>
“After being kicked five or six times in a row, my skin and flesh were rotten, and I felt the pain.”
Seeing the scar, Chen Jun looked obviously startled.
He could guess that Wang Heng's squad leader was too strict at the time, but he didn't expect that it would go so far.
After five or six kicks, Wang Heng was completely exhausted and felt no pain. Could it be that the kicker didn't notice it at all?
Chen Jun felt a little confused. He finally understood why Wang Heng became like this.
In the new training experience back then, the squad leader named Cao Yang was indeed a bastard. There is nothing to say about it.
Wang Heng was not wrong at that time, and it can even be said that Cao Yang was not wrong either.
What is wrong is only the times and the perception. Even now, this kind of harsh punishment is still prevalent.
After listening to the squad leader’s story, Chen Jun didn’t know where to comfort him for a moment.
I had no choice but to get up and walk to Wang Heng, squat down, and ponder for a moment. I wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but it was not appropriate.
He simply sighed and said: "Squad leader, I can understand what you are going through."
"However, this method, which is almost bullying, should not be continued from generation to generation. ”
"We must try our best to retain the good inheritance, and just throw away the dross."
"Otherwise, what is the difference between us and the army of the Bangzi Kingdom next door?"
"You can't just because He had been caught in the rain, so he tore up all our umbrellas."
"Umbrella? What kind of umbrella?" Wang Heng looked up at Chen Jun in confusion.
"Nothing, just a joke, squad leader, what I mean is, if you continue Cao Yang's training method, then in the end, maybe the new students in our class will become the same as you were back then."
"Including me, He Jing, Yang Fan, Shen Congjun, Gao Mingming, and Liang Kui."
"Squad leader, have you ever heard of the story of a boy who slays a dragon and turns into an evil dragon?"
Wang Heng was stunned for a moment when Chen Jun mentioned the names of people in the class.
Take a long breath.
"Actually, what you said, Squad Leader Chu of Class 2 also said to me tonight."
"In class six back then, Chu Hongfei was in the same class as me, but he had the best physical fitness and received the least special care."
"Fortunately, you are only competing with me tonight for physical fitness. If we meet Chu Hongfei, you are going to be in trouble."
Wang Heng smiled, his tone becoming more relaxed in a rare moment.
Hearing the squad leader’s joke, Chen Jun gave him a surprised look.
To be able to take the initiative to talk about tonight's physical competition means that he must have figured out what happened back then.
"Squad leader, I still have to explain what happened tonight."
"Okay, I know what you mean."
Wang Heng stood up with a smile before Chen Jun finished speaking. He reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Originally, I came to the toilet tonight to reflect. I will know how to be a monitor in the future."
"Let's go back. It's so late at night, so go to bed first."
Seeing Wang Heng relieved, Chen Jun nodded.
When the two were about to go back to the dormitory together.
Outside the toilet, suddenly the light of two flashlights shone directly in.
