Chapter 3 Follow Orders
Liang Chen and ten of them were from poor families, and their clothes were passed down from generation to generation, with holes and patches. Many people may not have seen new clothes in more than ten years.
At this time, I suddenly got two new clothes, and the material of the clothes was obviously different from the linen clothes at home. It was more comfortable to touch and felt tougher, and each of them showed surprise on their faces.
Someone who was anxious took off his old clothes and put on new clothes on the spot; some one who cherished them first took the well water from the well in the yard and washed it, and then put on new clothes.
Liang Chen did not rush to change into new clothes. He looked at the black tiger embroidered on the clothes, his face feeling thoughtful.
The practice clothes provided to them by the Tiger Hall were embroidered with a black tiger.
So, do these new disciples belong to the Heihu side?
What does this black tiger and white tiger represent? Why are they newly enrolled disciples directly assigned to the black tiger side? What impact does this have on them?
Although Liang Chen has joined the Tiger Hall now, he still has too little knowledge of the Tiger Hall. He only knows that the Tiger Hall controls the power of cultivation and is the absolute ruler of the surrounding areas.
But how big is the scope of the Tiger Hall? Who is its enemy? What is the current situation of war?
Another more important point is how to practice? Can his reliance on the "Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree" help him practice as he thought?
These are undoubtedly all issues that he urgently needs to figure out, and they are related to his life and death.
After joining the Hu Tang, it is no problem to have enough food. He needs to consider more about how to save his life.
In order to survive, he must do his best to arm himself as soon as possible.
It was soon evening, and Liang Chen and ten people went to the cafeteria to have dinner together.
This time, the large canteen was crowded with people, all wearing strong clothes and embroidered black tigers. Liang Chen took a look at it carefully, but he did not find anyone with embroidered white tigers in the canteen.
The cafeteria is full of people, but it can be clearly seen that it is divided into two categories.
One type is an old disciple with a strong body and a tough spirit; the other type is more than a hundred people, although they are all wearing strong clothes, but most of them have blue-yellow faces, thin body, and even more shrunk and cowardly temperament.
Obviously, these more than a hundred people, like Liang Chen, are new disciples recruited by Dongyang County's "Tiger Hall" this time.
There is more than one Dongshan Town under Dongyang County, and there are other towns. These people should have been recruited from other towns.
More than a hundred new disciples gathered together in townships and did not communicate much with each other.
They are all poor children, and they probably have never left their respective towns since they were born. When they arrive in this strange county, they naturally feel more secure when they get together with their fellow villagers.
Liang Chen was able to control himself at dinner. He did not eat too much, but only ate eighty percent full.
With experience in his previous life, he clearly knew that eating too much at night would only make it more uncomfortable, and it would be the most appropriate to have a fullness of 70% or 80% fullness.
Soon after supper, it got dark.
In this "backward" world, there was no entertainment after dark, so Liang Chen just took a few walks in the yard of the residence to digest food and went back to bed.
He was a little excited and looking forward to coming into contact with a new side of the world tomorrow.
I had a good sleep all night, but I woke up the next day before dawn, drew some well water to wash, and went to the cafeteria for breakfast, and Liang Chen went to the square behind the hall.
At this time, the sky was still not dawn, and braziers were lit around the square to illuminate the surroundings. Nearly a hundred people had gathered here, but they were still gathered together by townships and divided into more than ten groups.
At the right time, two big men in strong suits and embroidered black tigers came to the square, and one of them stepped forward and shouted, "All people pay attention!"
Hearing the shouts of the big man, more than a hundred people in the square stepped forward and gathered in front of the two big men, but it was a mess and was not in a queue.
The big man who made a sound had a strong figure, a thick and black complexion, and a lush beard, which felt like a "straight Zhang Fei".
Seeing the mess in front of you, the 'Zhang Fei' frowned slightly and shouted in a deep voice: "All people pay attention! From today on, you have officially joined the Tiger Hall. Now, I will teach you the first rule of Tiger Hall, that is, obey orders!"
"Now everyone, run around the square! I don't want to stop, no one is allowed to stop!"
Hearing the words of "Zhang Fei", everyone looked at each other. The area of the square was not small. According to Liang Chen's estimate, after running in one lap, it would be at least one kilometer.
Everyone present was poor disciples. Before joining the Tiger Hall, they had never eaten enough. They were in poor health and lacked strength. They probably couldn't run a few laps.
While everyone was hesitating, there was the honest man who had already run away.
And there are ones, twos, and there are threes. Gradually, most people are either honest or follow the crowd and run.
Liang Chen was also mixed in.
However, there are always bad things, who like to stand out and run without following the orders.
So, Liang Chen saw the two great men who seemed to be "instructors".
I saw another man, who was also strong in figure, had a bald head, with a squid face, full of fierceness, holding a long black whip in his hand, and whipped hard.
The sound of a few snaps, like a tiger swaying its tail, was thrusting on several thorns.
"Ah!" "Hiss..." "Ah!"
With a few screams of pain, the thorns were thrust to the ground, and their bodies rolled on the ground, twitching, as if they were extremely painful.
"Hmph!" The 'Zhang Fei' snorted coldly and shouted: "Disobey the order, and each whip was used as a warning for the first time!"
"I count within three times. If you don't get up and run, then each of you will whip three more times, and you won't be beaten to death!"
"one!"
As a result, as soon as the "Meng Zhang Fei" began to count, the "thorns" that were twitching were panic and struggling to get up, even rolling and running.
With a few thorns as "role models", no one dared not to obey orders anymore, and did not hear "Meng Zhang Fei" call to stop. Even if everyone had reached their limit, their whole body was throbbing, their chest and throat were burning, but no one dared to stop.
Liang Chen was also uncomfortable. His body was already so thrusting that it seemed numb. There were many figures in front of him, and there seemed to be illusions.
He also gritted his teeth and persevered only by the perseverance he developed in his previous life.
From time to time, you can hear the sound of falling to the ground. More and more people can't hold on, fall to the ground, twitch, but they can't get up even if they want to.
At this time, even if the big man really came up to kill them, they might not have any movement.
Finally, when the first ray of sunlight broke through the red glow and shot out, the "Zhang Fei" shouted to stop.
At this time, there were not even ten people who were still running.
