Qu Sen's high-intensity training was stopped by Company Commander Hong. At the same time, the results of Liu Fei's examination at the military district hospital came out. Two of his right ankle's tendons were broken. After the surgery, he was hospitalized.
Liu Fei's injury and hospitalization made the soldiers of Second Company First Squad feel a little down. Qu Sen rested for a day before returning to the 400-meter steeplechase training field. However, this time he didn't force himself to train. Instead, with the help of the old sergeant, he focused on the essentials and tried to break through in the 200-meter steeplechase area.
During this time, Company Commander Hong didn't give Qu Sen much training. Instead, he went to the district hospital from time to time.
A week passed quickly and the May Day holiday was approaching. After the holiday, it would be time for the military district tournament. During this time, Qu Sen adjusted his condition and ran a few times with a time of 1: 29.
However, this didn't make him happy. After all, ever since he found out about his ranking in the military district tournament, 1: 29 wasn't that eye-catching anymore.
After watching the news at night, Qu Sen changed into his training uniform and returned to the 400-meter steeplechase area alone. He stretched his body and rushed out from the starting point again. The field visibility wasn't good, but Qu Sen was already very familiar with the area after this period of training. Even if it was dark, he could still complete all the movements smoothly.
After a run, Qu Sen was sweating profusely. The spasms of his muscles forced Qu Sen to "dog crawl" on the grass to relieve them.
"Kid, you ran like a mad dog when you competed with me. Why are you running like a girl when you're alone?" A voice suddenly sounded.
Qu Sen was very familiar with the voice. Qu Sen followed the voice and looked to the side. He found Liu Fei sitting on the short wall of the isolation belt.
"Platoon Leader, you're discharged?" Qu Sen's relationship with Liu Fei didn't need to be explained. When he greeted Liu Fei, his originally caring tone became a little awkward for some reason.
"I stayed in the military district hospital for a few days. I couldn't get used to it, so I applied to return to the medical team to continue recuperating." In contrast, Liu Fei's tone was much more normal, but he would never say that he was chased back by Company Commander Hong.
Of course, the company commander didn't ask Liu Fei to run with Qu Sen. Instead, he planned to find time for Qu Sen to come to the medical team and listen to Liu Fei's skills.
Unexpectedly, Liu Fei was unwilling to be left out and ran out.
"Then why did you run out?" Although Qu Sen was not a medical student, he knew the severity of a ruptured ligament, especially one in the foot. If the patient did not recover well, he might become disabled.
"Do you think the broken wall of our medical team can stop me?" Liu Fei said smugly.
Qu Sen couldn't say anything, so he chuckled and got up to sit beside Liu Fei. Only then did he see that Liu Fei's right leg and calf were heavily bandaged. Not far away, there was also a crutch.
"You brat, don't be so smug. Let's continue after I recover." Liu Fei saw that Qu Sen didn't know what to say and was sitting there awkwardly, so he joked.
Liu Fei's change in attitude made Qu Sen relax. He immediately said, "I say, squad leader, we can compete, but you can't go back on your words about washing socks."
"Tsk, your words are like nails. Don't worry, when I recover, you won't have to wash your own socks anymore. " Liu Fei patted his chest. As his voice fell, the two laughed at the same time. The previous conflict and estrangement magically disappeared at this moment.
It was strange to say, but a soldier's mind was often so simple and open-minded. Although Qu Sen hadn't been a soldier for long, he had unknowingly been transformed by the melting pot that was the military camp.
"Have you improved during this time?" Liu Fei asked after laughing for a while.
Qu Sen shook his head and said dejectedly, "It's not stable even at 1: 29."
"That's normal!" Liu Fei didn't feel surprised. He glanced at Qu Sen and said, "How about it, do you want the squad leader to help you?"
These words made Qu Sen's spirit soar. With his understanding of Liu Fei, if he didn't have a plan in mind, he definitely wouldn't say these words. Therefore, he immediately looked at Liu Fei with a face full of desire.
Liu Fei sat up straight and assumed a posture as if he was about to give a speech. However, Qu Sen waited for a long time and didn't hear a single word from the other party.
He froze for a moment, then immediately ran to the side to pick up his shirt from the ground. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and ran back to Liu Fei's side to sit down.
In the military, smoke makes the world go round!
"How come I didn't realize that you were so understanding before?" He took the pack of cigarettes from Qu Sen and looked around to see that there was no one around. He immediately took out a cigarette and lit it up. After taking a deep breath, he comfortably exhaled the smoke.
He muttered, "Motherf * cker, I've been holding it in for the past few days. The military district hospital is so strict. There are smoke alarms in the toilets. I can't stay there!"
Qu Sen was amused and laughed. It turned out that this thing came out just to smoke. However, he looked around while laughing, afraid that someone would come over at this time.
The words "smoke-free barracks" were no joke. The training ground wasn't a big dry toilet. If he was caught, he would at least be called out and criticized.
Speaking of which, the military was also interesting. Although smoking was prohibited, there were quite a few smokers among the officers and soldiers. Most of the time, the patrols would turn a blind eye to the cigarettes in everyone's pockets. However, one must not be caught smoking.
Liu Fei finished the cigarette in a few puffs and skillfully found a gap to deal with the cigarette butt. He then said, "Actually, I've long noticed that you have a problem when you pass obstacles."
"What problem?" Qu Sen immediately asked.
"Suppressing your breath."
"Suppressing your breath?"
People would subconsciously suppress their breath when doing movements that required strength such as climbing or jumping. This was beneficial for exerting strength and could also resist impact. Therefore, Qu Sen was a little confused about Liu Fei's words.
"Yes!" Liu Fei nodded. He looked at the obstacle area and pointed at the high board jumping platform and the single-plank bridge. He thought for a while before saying, "I don't really understand the principle. It's just that when you pass these obstacles, most of the movements require suppressing your breath. It's just that the intensity of your breath is different.
For example, when you climb the high board jumping platform and jump, you definitely need to hold your breath. However, when it comes to the single-plank bridge and winding around the pillar, you can't hold your breath too hard. If you hold it too hard, you won't have enough breath later. Your problem is that you're suppressing your breath too hard for every event.
If you do it once or twice, it won't be obvious because you have a good physique. However, after a long time, you won't be able to do it anymore. Moreover, if you're suppressing your breath too hard in the beginning, it will definitely affect the 100-meter sprint later. "
After Liu Fei finished talking about his experience, he saw that Qu Sen didn't speak. He thought that he didn't explain it clearly enough. However, he knew the principle in his heart, but he couldn't express it clearly in words. He was a little anxious and couldn't help but say, "Oh, I don't understand, but the principle is definitely the principle. You should think about it carefully."
Liu Fei felt that he didn't explain it clearly, but Qu Sen understood. Although he didn't study medicine, when he was in the gym, he often heard the gym coach talk about the relationship between exercise and oxygen.
The central idea of Liu Fei's words was that during the obstacle run, one had to adjust their breath well so that there would be a good supply of oxygen in the body. Especially in the 100-meter sprint, there would naturally be a huge difference between the results of normal and insufficient blood oxygen levels.
"I understand!" After understanding, Qu Sen nodded heavily.
"Do you really understand?" Liu Fei asked worriedly.
When Qu Sen was about to explain his understanding, he heard a voice from afar, "Qu Sen, Liu Fei?"
The two people who were squatting on the ground were shocked. They quickly stepped on the fireworks and looked back. When they saw that it was Liao Genzhu, they let out a long sigh of relief.
"Hey, class monitor. I'm here. "Qu Sen quickly responded.
"Is the person next to you Liu Fei?" Liao Genzhu confirmed again.
Liu Fei's whole body trembled. He propped himself up and shouted, "No." After saying that, he lifted his feet and was about to leave.
