Performance

On Friday morning, the sky will be illuminated by a veil of light, and remnants of night can still be seen.

At this time, in the military training base, hundreds of teenagers were singing the national anthem loudly, raising their right hands and saluting the national flag.

Although they are all teenagers who have not joined the army, during military training, they are soldiers and should salute the national flag.

After the national song was finished, the national flag was raised to the top and fluttering in the wind.

After a speech under the national flag and a long speech by Captain Fu, the flag-raising ceremony ended.

Lu You was used to days like this. Today is the fifth day of military training, and it is also a day to show off your achievements. Tomorrow morning, when the military training is over, you can go home and rest.

After the team disbanded, Lu You returned to the dormitory and took out the plastic bags and packed them with lunch boxes, thermos bottles and olive vegetables as he had done the previous days. When I arrived at 206, I walked to the canteen with Li Yu to have breakfast.

On the way to the dining hall, the two happened to see Tang Wan, Xu Nian and other girls walking in front, chatting.

Li Yu looked at Xu Nian's back and felt itchy in her heart, but she couldn't explain what she felt. She could only ask Lu You for an excuse: "Aren't you going to say hello?"

Lu You's eyes stayed on Tang Wan's ponytail. Hearing Li Yu's question, he shook his head and said, "No, they won't interfere in the girls' chat. Slow down and let them go away first."

"Why?" Li Yu didn't understand the meaning.

Lu You patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "If you want a girl not to be angry, it's best not to let her see you."

"Huh?" Li Yu found it even harder to understand.

"You will know in the future. They are gone, go and have breakfast."

…

This morning's training session was much easier than the previous few days. After simply simulating entering the field a few times and hitting the baton a few times, the instructor let him rest.

Lu You sat in the shade of the tree, supporting his chin with one hand, watching the sunlight shining through the leaves on the ground, and his mind fell into his own world.

His world is complicated and disorderly. One moment he was thinking about mathematical theorems, and the next moment he was imagining the scene of going home and petting the kitten tomorrow.

The girl on the other side was also allowed to rest after finishing the dagger fucking.

Logan took off his hat and arranged his hair. His eyes unconsciously caught a figure sitting under a big tree, looking at the ground in a daze. At this time, Lu You seemed to be far away from the outside world in her eyes, and seemed a little unreal.

Tang Wan quickly looked around, then pretended that he was also enjoying the shade, and walked to the shade of a tree to sit down. The two of them were dozens of centimeters apart.

Lu You didn't notice her arrival. Tang Wan's eyes wandered around, then he picked up a leaf next to him, threw it towards Lu You, and then floated it back to his feet.

Logan looked at the leaves floating back by his feet and remained silent. While he was still thinking about how to make Lu You notice him, he had already come to his senses and noticed his arrival, looking at him.

"are you looking for me?"

"Can't I just come here to enjoy the cool weather?" Logan felt it was shameful to admit it directly.

Lu You raised his hand and pointed to the girls' team, teasing her: "There seems to be a bigger tree over there."

Logan lowered his head, a little embarrassed.

Lu You saw her ears starting to turn red, and knowing that she was thin-skinned, he stopped teasing her, so he withdrew his gaze, looked forward, and asked her, "Have the days passed?"

Tang Wan calmed down for a while, raised his head and responded: "Almost, I can move normally now."

"It usually lasts a few days."

"I said it's usually three to five days. Others don't know." Logan answered truthfully, but soon frowned, "Why do we say this?"

"Just ask if you're curious. It's always good to have a little more knowledge." Lu You shrugged.

"What's the use of boys knowing this?"

"Can't boys have girls around them?"

Feeling that the direction was a little skewed, Logan quickly changed the topic, "I haven't asked yet, what were you thinking about just now while you were sitting here? You were staring at the ground."

"I wonder who I am, where I came from, and where I am going."

Logan felt like he couldn't continue anymore, "Then... have you figured it out?"

"Yes. My name is Lu You. I'm from home and going to university."

"That's it?" Tang Wan looked at Lu You's profile.

"My answer is this. It includes my understanding of myself, summary of the past, and plans for the future." Lu You's words were a little erratic.

"Then...my answer is, my name is Logan, I came from my mother's belly, and I want to go to Qingbei."

Lu You felt funny, "You are stealing my words."

"How can it be called stealing when it comes to scholars? This is called reasonable reference." Tang Wan said with a proud look on his face.

Lu You doesn't argue with her, as long as she is happy. I saw a few girls making gestures in the distance, so I asked again: "How are you doing with your dagger skills?"

Logan took out his toy dagger, made a few random gestures in the air, and nodded seriously, "I think I'm ready to start my career. My sword is designed to stab scumbags." After saying that, he put the dagger on his neck, It's like a robber holding hostages on TV.

Lu You put his finger against the rubber blade, gently pushed Logan's hand away, and corrected her: "First of all, this is a dagger, not a sword. Secondly, I am not a scumbag."

Tang Wan took back her hand and smiled like a peach blossom, light but intoxicating.

"Don't you know yet~" After saying that, he stood up, patted his pants, and looked at Lu You.

"I'm leaving, you continue to be in a daze."

Then Tang Wan walked towards the girls' team with brisk and cheerful steps.

Lu You looked at the figure with soft eyes, exhaled a breath, and said to himself: "The appearance alone is so exciting, how can I survive it in the future?"

…

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu You stood by the bed, put on his military hat, arranged the hair exposed by the brim of the hat, and made sure that his appearance was fine.

"Squad leader, it's time to go!"

"Here we come." Lu You took the bench and "baton" and left the dormitory.

The sun is still high in the clear sky. What's better than the previous days is that there are occasionally a few white clouds floating over at this time, which can prevent people on the ground from being burned by the sun all the time.

The training ground in front of the flag-raising platform was densely packed with students. As the squad leader, Lu You once again sat at the front of the row.

The atmosphere in the venue was a bit impetuous, and the students were in high spirits, talking and laughing.

The acting monitor of the second class, Li Yu, had a solemn expression and asked Lu You seriously: "Are you nervous?"

Lu You glanced at him and tried hard to control the corners of his mouth that wanted to raise. "It's okay. Anyway, I'm standing in the middle of the team and no one can notice me."

"You sit at the front of the team, with so many leaders watching, aren't you nervous?"

"Why are you nervous? We haven't committed any crime. They can watch it if they like." Lu You said in a very relaxed tone.

Li Yu's eyes contained sadness, "Everyone is an otaku, why are you so thick-skinned?"

"Correction, this is called not being surprised when things change."

Li Yu saw his calm expression and had nothing to say. He could only adjust his emotions by himself.

Captain Fu walked up to the flag-raising platform and patted the microphone with his hand. A harsh sound came from the speaker, and the whole place fell silent.

"Good afternoon, classmates. I am your deputy captain..."

What follows is a lengthy military training summary, what good deeds were made by so and so, which company performed exceptionally well, and the comparison of the mental outlook between the beginning and now.

Lu You was already distracted, thinking about the scene of petting the cat when he went home tomorrow, and even what cake to have for his birthday next weekend.

After regaining consciousness, the flag-raising platform had been replaced by a girl wearing a blue military uniform, who was reciting with emotion: "Now, coming towards us is the team of the fifth company, they are marching in uniform steps, Their eyes were firm and their posture was upright. During the days of military training, they were not afraid of the scorching sun, strictly observed discipline, and overcame many difficulties. Their slogan is to share joys and sorrows, surpass themselves, and never stop."

A neat team stepped to the flag-raising platform, and then switched to the goose step. The sound of stepping on the ground was unified and powerful, and everyone's arm swings were clean and neat, without any mistakes.

Even though it is not as shocking as the military parade, it can show the vigorous vitality of high school students and the spirit of teenagers.

Lu You watched it with great interest. He had heard about military training when he was teaching students at a university in his previous life, but he had never gone to see it in action.

As the teams of each company passed by, not all teams were fine. At the beginning, the level of the fifth company was completely top-of-the-line. In the queue at the back, there were basically one or two who couldn't keep up with the rhythm. There was even a company leader who was in the same boat. He didn't know how to walk. The scene was once more joyful.

Soon, the team of the 30th company walked to the flag-raising stage, and instructor Liu also came to the performance camp in front of everyone.

"Take your things and leave the stool here. Come and join the team."

Everyone went to the open space behind to assemble according to the rehearsal team.

Instructor Liu glanced at the mental outlook of everyone in the circle, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Not bad, they are all very energetic. When we go on stage later, the boys will finish beating first, and then the girls. I don't need to do well, as long as you Just do each action to a standard and complete it smoothly. When you are playing, you have to think about the next action. You can't react only after someone else has done it. You can't beat the rhythm either. Come on, let's beat you The results of these past few days are all showing! Did you hear that?"

"I heard it!" The response was sonorous and powerful, attracting the attention of most people in the square.

"Okay, follow the team of the 32nd Company."

…

The boys from the performance camp came on the stage. Under the command of instructor Liu, the team quickly dispersed, with arms distance between the front, back, left, and right, so that everyone had enough space to perform.

"Break down the movements and prepare for the baton technique!"

Lu You followed the slogan and raised his hands, his mind slowly relaxed, and the first action appeared in his mind.

"First move, step forward and poke!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't hesitate at all. He followed up with his right foot and stepped forward with his left foot. At the same time, he raised his left forearm to his forehead, held the stick in his right hand, exerted force from his waist, and thrust forward with all his strength.

"The second move is a horizontal kick and slash!"

…

Two sets of baton techniques, one decomposed action and one continuous action, the fight was completed quickly.

"Move closer!"

Lu You took two steps forward, and he was standing in the middle, so he didn't need to walk too far. He doesn't know how he played, but he has done his best. The result is left to the audience to judge. His task has been completed.

"Run, walk!"

Everyone trotted away and returned to their seats. Lu You and Li Yu were a bit outstanding at this time, because the girls from the performance camp were still preparing to go on stage. They could only sit alone at the front of the team, with dozens of empty seats behind them.

Lu You was okay, as if nothing was wrong, but Li Yu felt uncomfortable all over and was on pins and needles. He could only straighten his waist and make a serious expression. At this moment, he missed the girls in his class extremely.

Soon, girls also came on stage. Then, like the boys, they quickly dispersed, followed the slogans, and fucked with the dagger twice.

Unlike boys, girls' daggers are less powerful and more heroic. Moreover, the ends of the daggers are tied with red scarves, which makes them more eye-catching when they are waved.

Lu You was sitting in the front, and Tang Wan happened to be in the back row of the team. When they dispersed to play dagger exercise, the two of them were relatively close, and he could see the entire process of Tang Wan's beating.

Looking at her serious expression and sharp eyes throughout the whole process, and thinking about how she occasionally blushed shyly, Lu You couldn't help but want to laugh, but thought that the occasion was inappropriate, and he was afraid that she would find out that he would come to settle the score when he laughed, so he could only laugh. He covered his mouth with his hand and pretended to be serious.

After the girls finished playing, there was even more enthusiastic applause from the audience, and there were even a few heckles and whistles.

Lu You also smiled and clapped. The girl's heroic appearance was really pleasing to the eye.

Soon, the girls also walked off the stage and returned to their seats. Li Yu's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. Lu You turned his head slightly and glanced at the figure who was talking quietly in the group of girls, feeling somewhat reassured.

Finally, the girl in blue uniform said "the military training performance ended successfully", which brought a perfect end to the training of these days.
