Chapter Sixteen: The Exercise

  Wafts of fragrance can be smelled everywhere in the air.

  The brothers standing in a row kept swallowing their saliva.

  A big bowl of meat was placed there, and the brothers had forgotten how long it had been since they last ate anything other than fish.

  This was the meat of the two egrets that Ding Yunyi had asked Ah Hu to buy, and he asked Hong Diao Yuan to cook it. Although Hong Diao Yuan seemed useless at first glance, when it came to cooking, he was actually a master.

  Two pheasants were roasted by him so that people couldn't even bear to smell them, let alone take a look at them.

  Ding Yunyi blocked the basin, seeing his brothers one by one drooling and constantly looking back at themselves, almost laughing out loud, hurriedly putting on a serious face:

  "Brothers, this is pheasant meat, it smells great, who wants to eat?"

  "Me! Me!" The words had barely fallen when the brothers all cried out.

  "Wanna eat something simple? Well, you gotta earn it!"

  Ding Yunyi's words suddenly made everyone quiet, and no one knew what he meant by "patrolling".

  "Brothers." Ding Yunyi's gaze swept across the soldiers: "Today, we can be considered to have officially started training. Training has rewards and punishments. If you lose, punish him by running along Penghu for two hours, and don't allow him to eat if he doesn't finish. If you win..."

  He pointed to the large basin of meat behind him:

  "Eat meat!"

  "Eat meat! Eat meat!" The brothers were taken aback for a moment, then burst into loud cheers.

  "I also want to eat meat!" Ding Yunyi's voice suddenly rose: "But if you want to eat meat, you have to distinguish between winning and losing. How do we distinguish between winning and losing? Let's settle it with our fists! Who will be the first to come and fight me?"

  The brothers' voices disappeared.

  Although Ding Yunyi's position as a patrol officer is not high, after all, he is the second-in-command on Penghu and their third brother, so they really have to weigh it carefully.

  Seeing that none of his brothers were willing to come out, Ding Yunyi smiled: "No one is coming up? Then I won't be polite, the meat belongs to me!"

  "I'm coming!"

  With this voice, Bao Zhuo Hua walked out: "I want to eat meat, I'm going to fight you!"

  "Good!" Ding Yunyi praised and said: "Win against me, there will be meat to eat. However..."

  He paused slightly: "But I am a patrol officer, can you afford to take responsibility for injuring me?"

  One sentence made Bao Zhuhua stunned there.

  Just as Bao Zhua was about to be defeated, Ding Yunyi suddenly made a lightning-fast move!

  One punch landed right on Bao Zhuhua's nose, and he let out a pained cry, covering his nose with his hand as blood flowed out from between his fingers.

  Bao Zhuying was both shocked and furious: "You, you......"

  Ding Yunyi looked at his own fist: "I said we are opponents, and as opponents, it doesn't matter whether you're a patrol officer or a small soldier!"

  Bao Zhuihua was stunned for a moment, then let out a loud roar, completely disregarding his still bleeding nose, and swung a punch at Ding Yunyi.

  Ding Yunyi quickly flashed past, and another loud shout: "Wait!"

  Bao Zhuihua's fist was suspended in mid-air, hesitated for a moment, and then withdrew.

  Who would have thought that at the moment of his hesitation, a big and heavy fist hit his nose again. His nose, which had not stopped bleeding in the first place, suddenly gushed out with fresh blood.

  Ding Yunyi's fist!

  Bao Zhua was hit twice in a row, his eyes were filled with golden stars, and he couldn't stop the bleeding by covering his nose.

  Kadōin's attack hasn't stopped yet!

  Ding Yunyi reached out and pulled, tripping Bao Ronghua to the ground, followed by several punches in a row, beating Bao Ronghua until he screamed like a slaughtered pig.

  The brothers were all stunned.

  They usually fish on the island, drink and occasionally practice when they feel like it, but most of the time they just go through the motions. Has there ever been a time when they practiced as seriously as now, with bloodshed?

  That side Bao Zhua had been beaten until he was panting and couldn't get up.

  Ding Yunyi finally stood up straight, his face expressionless. He gave a cold glance at Bao Zongheng on the ground: "I've said it many times before, we are opponents. As opponents, there is only one possibility: either you knock your opponent to the ground or you get knocked down yourself. When I say 'wait', Bao Zongheng stops in his tracks. Now he's taking punches, but on the battlefield, it's knives that fall from above! On the battlefield, if an enemy tells you to 'wait', even a moment's hesitation will cost you your own life!"

  Not a sound was heard.

  Now brothers understand, patrol is serious!

  Bao Zhuihua stood up shakily, with blood still flowing from her nose and face: "It's not fair, it's not fair. You're the inspector, you told me to wait..."

  "From now on, as long as we're training, no one can stop us until there's a winner or loser, including me!" Ding Yunyi still had an expressionless face: "Here, there are only two possibilities for the end of training: either you stand up or fall down! Those who stand up get to eat meat, those who fall down get punished! Everyone is treated equally! Do you understand?"

  "I understand!"

  "Everyone has chosen their opponents, let's begin!"

  "At the word 'start', the brothers couldn't wait to get their hands moving. Firstly, they wanted to eat meat, secondly, it was simple, and thirdly, today was the first day of formal training, so they were all very serious and enthusiastic, not wanting to get burned by the fire that the new officer had lit."

  Each fist and foot is matched against each other, no one dares to slack off, slightly careless, the opponent's big fist may fall on oneself.

  Bao Ronghua stared at Ding Yunyi with a fierce gaze, clearly wanting to take revenge, but Ding Yunyi, who had already taken advantage of the situation, didn't show any intention of continuing to fight back.

  Baoyu Hua, who had one heart seeking revenge and another heart craving meat, was at a loss for what to do. Suddenly seeing Xiao Yifeng still single, she let out a strange cry and pounced on him...

  On a short tree on one side sat Ahu and several young men, all of whom were staring blankly into space.

  Ding Yunyi agreed with them. As a reward, he allowed them to watch his training. Who would have thought that by watching, they discovered Ding Yunyi's unique training method.

  These soldiers have been in Penghu for some time, but Ahu and the others had never seen them train until they bled. It seems that this Inspector Ding is indeed very different from General Hong.

  Watching his brothers practice seriously, Ding Yunwei felt relieved and also a little helpless.

  Now I have nothing and don't understand how to proceed with training in this era, so I can only put some practical experience that I grasp into it.

  When it comes to fighting, Ding Yunyi still has some experience. During normal practice, they can see blood, but when it's a real fight, everyone will probably go all out.

  Anyway, when the time comes and we fight with the pirate Hong Yi, it's not much different from fighting, everyone will just go all out and risk their lives.

  It's just unknown how much use such training will be in actual combat.
