The little dumpling got up much more quickly in an instant. Wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, it followed Ye Wanying out of the tent with a wagging tail.
In half an hour, Gu Yujin had already set up the tent and even went for a cool shower. It felt amazing; he had never felt so refreshed before.
At least he wasn't looking as pathetic as a beggar as he did yesterday. He was still dressed in camouflage, and now he looked quite presentable.
As soon as Tuanzi came out, she saw Gu Yujin standing straight outside: "Uncle, how did you become so handsome?"
Even Dou Ding sensed a different Gu Yujin, so it seems that a subtle change is indeed taking place.
"Hehe, really?" Gu Yujin felt a little embarrassed by the compliment.
Tuanzi nodded, then tilted her head and continued, "Yes, Uncle, you're not as handsome as Dad! Hmm, not even as handsome as Tuanzi! Dad and Tuanzi are the most handsome..."
The latter is clearly an addendum!
hiss!
People usually give you a beating first and then a sweet treat, but you're doing the opposite, aren't you, Tuanzi?
The uncle said he never wanted to talk to this nephew who was not cute at all again.
"Sister-in-law, I'm ready!"
Ye Wanying nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, "How heavy was the backpack you were carrying yesterday?"
Gu Yujin didn't know why his sister-in-law asked this question: "It should be close to sixteen kilograms."
When the troops were on a forced march, each soldier carried a load of about 45 kilograms, excluding weapons and equipment.
Forty-five jin is equivalent to twenty-two and a half kilograms. Gu Yujin's march yesterday was only sixty li at most, which was one-third less than the troops, and he also carried nearly ten jin less weight.
“Yesterday I saw some unwanted bricks at the foot of the mountain. Go down now and collect enough to meet the standard weight requirement. You have twenty minutes. Oh, and here are two sandbags I made myself. One weighs about one kilogram, which is the lightest. The weight will gradually increase with each subsequent bag. Tie them on before you go down.”
Gu Yujin pursed his lips and asked, "Sister-in-law, do we still need to tie sandbags on?"
Ye Wanying shrugged: "There's no other way. A week is too tight, so you have to push your limits all the time."
Once you get used to the feeling of pushing your limits, your resilience and endurance will increase, and you might even unleash them again at crucial moments.
Gu Yujin didn't waste any more words. He quickly went to the side, tied the sandbags to his legs, and then picked up the backpack he had already packed: "Sister-in-law, I'll go down first."
"Go ahead, see you at the mangrove forest in forty-five minutes!"
From the top of the mountain to the bottom, and then up to the mangrove forest, it's almost equivalent to the daily routine of the entire army every morning—three kilometers!
However, these three kilometers are clearly not comparable to the three kilometers the army performs; they are equivalent to three times the distance on flat ground.
You should know that the first time I ran 10 kilometers, it took me more than six hours, from noon until dark.
Fortunately, after practicing every day for a while, I have made a lot of progress, and at least I can now run the whole course in a short time.
Now, just like my sister-in-law, I need to push my limits at all times.
Gu Yujin went down the mountain, while Ye Wanying rekindled the nearly burnt-out fire.
It was too cold to give the child a cold bath, so a pot of hot water was boiled. By the time the mother and child finished washing up and eating breakfast, it was already twenty minutes later.
