Chapter 196 The Grace of Reconstruction
Chapter 196 The Grace of Reconstruction
It took Lu Yunyi and Li Wu half an hour to finish looking at all five parts of the house.
When the two returned to the gate, they were both shocked and their hearts could not calm down for a long time.
Lu Yunyi clenched his hand holding the key tightly, and sweat was already oozing out of his palm.
The house should be taken care of by someone, and the flowers and rooms should be kept clean.
But apart from tables, chairs and benches, there are no other decorations, so it looks a bit empty.
Even so, Lu Yunyi was extremely satisfied.
This house has a good location, a large area, and tasteful furnishings and decorations. It is the best house he has ever seen.
Lu Yunyi estimated the price in his mind. If he sold it on the market,
I'm afraid it would be impossible to buy it without tens of thousands of taels of silver, especially the unique and huge courtyard and garden.
Li Wu, who was standing aside, remained silent the entire time.
He has been working in Yingtian for nearly twenty years, doing all kinds of dirty and tiring work.
It was only last year that he finally bought a small courtyard with only two houses, which cost him and his wife their life savings.
If his house was placed here, Li Wu pursed his lips.
The open space at the entrance alone was larger than the small courtyard he had worked hard for his entire life.
At this moment, under the huge disparity,
Li Wu did not feel the slightest bit of jealousy in his heart. Instead, he felt a sense of inexplicable emptiness, and he stood there quietly as if only a shell was left.
Lu Yunyi turned his head to look at Li Wu and asked:
"From what you have seen, the house is managed by the pawnbroker, is it like this now?"
Li Wu's eyes were focused, and he shook his head slowly:
"Sir, I don't know. I have never seen such a big house in my life. I don't know the ins and outs of it."
Lu Yunyi thought about it and felt that the current state of the house was acceptable.
Regardless of whether anyone takes care of it or not, he plans to put it here first.
The house is too big. If we move in rashly, it will attract unnecessary attention. It is better to focus on the war in the southwest first.
With a sigh, Lu Yunyi's eyes flashed with pity.
He looked back and forth, and finally looked a few times before turning away.
"gone."
Li Wu also looked at her meaningfully for a few times, then turned away reluctantly.
Perhaps this was the only time in his life that he was in a luxurious mansion.
At the door, Lu Yunyi closed the door, locked the tiger-head lock again, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Li Wu:
"Follow me across the river to Puzikou City."
After leaving the house, Li Wu returned to his original appearance, mercenary and shrewd.
His thoughts turned and his face suddenly became clear, his eyes gradually widened:
"Are you a soldier, sir?"
"Yes, I need your long-distance running tips. If you regret it now, it's not too late. Just return the money to me and leave."
Li Wu shook his head quickly.
He thought clearly that a soldier with such a large house in the capital must be of extraordinary status.
If you cooperate well, you can get some silver. If you don't cooperate well,
Maybe they would capture him and bring him to the army to torture him severely, and then he would still have to confess, and he would suffer even more if he lost his money.
So even though he felt uneasy, he acted very cheerfully:
"Sir, you are joking. The army is here to protect our country. If you need anything, Li Wuyi will do his best to help!"
Lu Yunyi smiled:
"Then go ahead. Leave your method here and I'll send someone to bring you back."
Li Wu nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, sir."
Leaving the city, crossing the river and returning to the camp in one go,
In less than half an hour, Lu Yunyi brought Li Wu back to the front army camp after numerous inspections.
As they had just arrived in Yingtian, the soldiers were given a short rest.
The previous enthusiastic training scene did not appear. The soldiers lay lazily in the military tents to recover their strength.
A year-long war had exhausted them both physically and mentally, and they could only recover by sleeping a lot.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yunyi frowned slightly, looking thoughtful. This recovery was still too slow.
As he thought about it, he took Li Wu to the central army tent.
Just as I was about to go in, I heard hurried footsteps from behind, along with shouts.
"Brother Yun'er! Brother Yun'er!!"
Lu Yunyi looked back and saw Liu Heiying in casual clothes rushing over excitedly.
There was excitement on his dark face, his flesh swung everywhere as he ran, his heavy footsteps stomped on the ground, and he was very imposing.
Lu Yunyi ignored him and turned to enter the military tent. Li Wu hesitated for a moment and then quickly followed him.
Entering the military tent, a cool breeze hits you.
Lu Yunyi walked to the basin on the side and wet his cheeks with clean water. The heat in his heart quickly subsided, replaced by comfort.
When he turned around, Liu Heiying was already in the military tent, looking at Li Wu with a little surprise:
"Brother Yun'er, who is he?"
"Driver."
"Coachman?" Liu Heiying was slightly surprised, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Li Wu smiled and bowed, saying in a trembling voice:
"Sir, I can drive a car in Yingtian City to transport people and goods. It's in the middle city.
If you want to transport goods or people, just go to any shop and ask and you will find him. "
Li Wu looked nervous and his legs were shaking as he walked along.
He saw many soldiers calling the guest "Sir", especially the fierce soldiers guarding the city of Puzikou.
The person who called him was actually the general, which made Li Wu very scared.
As for the tall, slightly dark and sturdy man in front of him,
Although he was young, his aura was more powerful than that of the Beijing guards entrenched in the central city, and Li Wu was frightened to the point that his legs almost went limp.
Fortunately, the dark man ignored him, which made Li Wu feel slightly relieved.
"Brother Yun'er, why are you looking for him?"
"Of course it works."
Lu Yunyi wiped his face and sat down behind the desk.
He immediately took out a pen and paper and looked at Li Wu with a warm expression:
"Don't be afraid, we are soldiers.
Today, I see that you are tireless, and I am curious.
Just tell me the tricks you figured out, and you can go."
Only at this moment did Li Wu feel relieved after receiving the promise, and then he said tremblingly:
"General, shall we start now?"
Lu Yunyi nodded, turned his eyes to the table and said softly:
"let's start."
Li Wu was standing not far away. He walked a little closer, looking nervous, and spoke hesitantly:
"When I was farming at home, my father once said,
You have to take deep breaths and exhale slowly, so that your breathing can flow smoothly and you won't feel panicky.
Later, I started driving a sports car and found this method very effective, so I kept driving. Later, I also figured out some tricks.
When running, you must use your mouth and nose together, and don't let the wind go straight into your throat, otherwise you will easily get dry mouth and stomachache.
You have to learn to bite gently with your teeth, letting the air slip in through the gaps between your teeth, and don’t be too hasty.”
Hearing the words "mouth and nose" being used together, Lu Yunyi paused and asked in a deep voice:
"Greasing your jaw, or pressing your tongue against your upper teeth?"
When marching and fighting, soldiers must pay special attention to details. When rushing on the road and charging, soldiers must concentrate.
If you use your strength to clench your teeth, it will definitely distract your attention.
Although it is little, but if we get a little here today and a little there tomorrow, it would be strange if we can win the battle.
Marching and fighting is about accumulating advantages to win, and the advantages must be made up in food, clothing, housing, transportation, and military equipment strategies, so that there is a possibility of victory.
As a general, Lu Yunyi's biggest responsibility is to reduce the burden on soldiers so that they can fight wholeheartedly on the battlefield.
Li Wu didn't say anything, but just tried it.
He panted for breath, and finally his eyes lit up:
"General, I used to grit my teeth, but using my tongue to hold my teeth should be about the same and save effort." Lu Yunyi nodded, crossed out the previous record, and turned to his own summary.
[Use your mouth and nose together, open your mouth slightly, bite your teeth lightly, and press your tongue against the roof of your mouth, allowing air to flow in and out from the gaps between your teeth, easily and effortlessly.]
"go on."
"Yes, General, you should also pay attention to your steps when running.
Human legs are not like horse legs. We only have two legs, so we have to be steady and the size of our steps cannot vary.
Only by taking your time and not rushing can you run far.
If you run hard right away, you will run out of energy in a short while.
In addition, the little man inhales after running two steps, and exhales after running two more steps.
According to my observation, there are a few who are better than me.
They all run three steps and exhale, then run three steps and inhale. They must have their own pace and must not mess up. "
Li Wu racked his brains to say what was on his mind, his face looking very conflicted.
Lu Yunyi looked up at him, praised him and said "good", then lowered his head to record.
[Breathing should be coordinated with walking to avoid disrupting the rhythm. Four-step breathing, six-step breathing, adjust according to personal habits, do not stick to a fixed pattern.]
"continue."
Li Wu spoke again:
"The running posture is also very important.
When running, keep your head straight, shoulders hunched, and back straight to avoid hurting your bones.
Some newcomers feel tense all over when they run, and they hurt their waists after just a few days of running. I think it’s because of their posture.”
As he spoke, he used his hands and feet to adjust his body posture and started running on the spot.
Lu Yunyi frowned slightly, looked him up and down and started to record.
[The head should face forward, avoid leaning forward or backward, shoulders should be properly relaxed, and the chest should not be hunched.]
[Arm swings should be forward and backward movements with the shoulder as the axis, and the range of motion from side to side should not exceed the midline of the body. The fingers, wrists and arms should be relaxed, and the elbow joint angle should be approximately 90 degrees.]
[Keep your neck and abdomen upright, avoid shaking left and right or moving up and down too much. Keep your waist naturally upright, not too straight.]
[Lift your thighs high, push back fully, point your toes straight ahead, land softly, and keep your shoes close to your feet.]
"What should I do if the uphill and downhill roads are uneven?" Lu Yunyi asked after he finished writing.
Li Wu thought for a moment and said:
"Going uphill is like an old ox plowing the field, go slowly,
It is not feasible to rush to the end in one breath. You need to have a plan in mind and use your strength evenly, otherwise you will collapse before you even reach the halfway point.
When going downhill, my feet feel like they are greased, fast but not messy.
You have to keep your eyes open, watch the road carefully, and be careful of stones on the road. If you sprain your ankle or roll down a slope, you will have to rest for several days. "
Lu Yunyi frowned slightly, raised his head and looked thoughtful:
"Small steps uphill? Long steps downhill?"
"No, no, you have to take small steps both uphill and downhill. Going uphill takes slow steps, and going downhill takes fast steps."
"What about inhaling and exhaling? Will it change?"
Li Wu shook his head: "The villain never changes."
Lu Yunyi nodded and turned to writing.
[The steeper the slope, the slower the speed. Save energy when going uphill and keep balance when going downhill. Take small steps and have a fast pace. The breathing frequency varies from person to person.]
After finishing writing, Lu Yunyi raised his head and asked:
"Do shoes and clothes have any impact?"
Li Wu looked reserved and shook his head again, "I am from a small family, so I don't care about those things."
"Oh, right." Li Wu seemed to remember something and said quickly:
"Shoes can be big, but not small, otherwise they will hurt your feet.
You also need to put insoles under your feet. I put two layers of insoles on my feet. Otherwise, your feet will hurt when you finish work at night after running all day. "
Lu Yunyi nodded and continued writing.
[The shoe size should be appropriately sized, and can be larger rather than smaller. To reduce the impact on the soles of the feet from long-term walking or running, use two layers of insoles on top of each other, which varies from person to person, to achieve the best cushioning and support effect.]
After finishing writing, he asked again:
"Do you have any requirements for drinking water? I saw you drinking water all the way. Also, should you drink water immediately after you feel thirsty, or should you wait a while?"
Li Wu looked at Lu Yunyi in surprise. If the adults didn't ask about these things, he would not be able to remember them at all.
"You have to take it easy. Don't drink water right after running, and don't wait until you're thirsty to drink water. By then it's too late and you won't have enough strength to recover."
[Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water, drink small amounts and multiple times in advance.]
This was no different from usual. Lu Yunyi had already publicized the matter, and the soldiers in the front army's scout unit also carried out it strictly.
"Continue." Lu Yunyi looked down at the booklet.
Li Wu scratched his head and said, "My Lord, there is no more."
Lu Yunyi looked at the paper and saw that there was not much written on it.
He stood there thinking for a long time, then reached into his arms, took out the stack of banknotes, and counted out ten more.
Then he looked at Liu Heiying, who was sitting there playing with his nails and doing nothing.
"Black Hawk."
"Here, Brother Yun'er, what's wrong?"
Liu Heiying suddenly raised his head and jumped up from his seat.
"Bring me a full backpack."
"Yes!" Liu Heiying's face changed and he walked out quickly.
Lu Yunyi looked at Li Wu and handed over the treasure note in his hand:
"I'll give you another job. After you finish it, the ten strings of cash will also be yours. Do you want to do it?"
"Do it, do it"
Li Wu's heart was pounding, a flattering look appeared on his face, and he quickly stepped forward to take the money.
At this time, Liu Heiying came in with a dark green multifunctional tactical backpack in his hand.
It was filled to the brim with everything from long swords, feather arrows, food, water, tools, etc.
Lu Yunyi pointed at the backpack and said to Li Wu:
"Today's task is to carry this bag and run on the training ground until you can't run anymore.
During this period, you must remember to speak out any parts of the backpack that make you uncomfortable or any parts that make you uncomfortable while running.
Remember, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me. If you find enough faults, I will give you another ten strings of cash."
Li Wuxin's heart started beating again and he nodded repeatedly:
"Don't worry, I'm just looking for trouble. I won't let you down."
"Okay!" Lu Yunyi nodded, and then looked at Liu Heiying:
"Find ten soldiers to follow, and call a craftsman. If there is any room for improvement, start preparing immediately."
"Yes!"
Seeing Liu Heiying turning around and leaving, Lu Yunyi hurriedly stopped him and asked:
"How is the food in Puzikou City?"
Liu Heiying had a strange look on his face:
"The food is pretty good, one vegetarian dish a day and one meat dish every two days.
But the brothers are used to eating a lot of fish and meat, so some of them are hard to swallow.”
Hearing this, Lu Yunyi spoke decisively:
“Tell the quartermaster to send someone to the city to buy food. The brothers need to keep up with the meals. We will cook them ourselves.
Oh, and buy some warming and nourishing ingredients and ask the military doctor to give you a prescription.
We will have to start training after five more days of rest. If our bodies can’t keep up, we will be damaged.”
"Yes!" Liu Heiying immediately smiled.
Lu Yunyi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is there any money left in the army?"
Liu Heiying smiled and walked into the room quickly, lowering his voice and saying:
"Of course there are. We seized quite a lot on this trip.
If it's not enough, just sell some of your gold, silver and jewelry. There's still a big cart, which is more than enough."
Lu Yunyi was stunned, then suddenly came to his senses.
The jewels seized by the front army scouts from the royal court and Liaowang County amounted to two large carts.
After the general's instructions, he only handed in one large truckload of goods. There was still another large truckload left, which was piled in the warehouse, and he had almost forgotten about it.
"Then buy the good ones. It's not easy to come to Yingtian, let the brothers eat and drink well. Don't be afraid of spending money. Go and make the arrangements."
Liu Heiying's face suddenly showed joy, and he patted his belly gently:
"okay."
Liu Heiying raised his chin towards Li Wu:
"Let's go, the work is done, and I won't treat you unfairly."
Li Wu quickly smiled and nodded, then turned his body and bowed to Lu Yunyi with a sincere look on his face:
"I would like to thank the general for giving me a new life."
Thirty strings of cash were enough for him to live a life of luxury. Li Wu was extremely grateful to this "guest".
Lu Yunyi's hand, which was writing, paused slightly, raised his eyes slightly, smiled lightly and said nothing.
Li Wu bowed again and followed Liu Heiying away.
Sorry for getting up late,
By the way, I was taught a lesson by the big head ghost yesterday. I didn’t beat him until 3 o’clock! !
