My Little Poplar - Chap 56

The tied up soldiers gradually woke up, they didn’t expect to be treated like this after such an enthusiastic campfire, they were all confused.

“Do something to get the ropes off!” Liang Xiaomao wailed in anger, “I told you we were given good food and drink yesterday for something.”

“The rope is quite tight.” Chen Jing said: “We’ve been struggling for a while, it won’t come off.”

“So, what do we do?” Da Xiong looked to his right and left, “Is there a knife, a sharp stone or something, look for it, it won’t stay tied to us, what’s the point of examining it.” Da Xiong grabbed a stone from the grass, to sharpen the rope but as he was tied with his hands behind his back, the movement was not strong enough, even if he could sharpen it, it would be dark.

The platoon leader of the other company with them, Wang Sheng, said: “It won’t be that easy, this is our first test.”

Yu Fengcheng turned his head to look at the rope tying his hands behind his back and said: “Bite it with your teeth, it’s hemp rope, it’s a bit thicker, you can always bite it off.”

“Biting? We can’t reach it.”

Yu Fengcheng looks to the nearest team, someone is already awake, he said: “Move over there, we’ll bite each other’s ropes with their team.”

These words alerted the group, the eight of them were back to back, with their feet tied, they could only move their hips together like an eight-legged spider, towards the other team, the other teams also reacted and moved closer to the nearest team.

As soon as they got close to the other group, they reached out with their mouths, biting at the twine on the hands and feet of one of them, the twine was very rough and tough, I don’t know how many strands of flax were used to weave it, Da Xiong bit it for a long time, the corners of his mouth and tongue were cut, the wound was not deep but it looked bloody, it was very scary.

The rest of the party were also chewing on the rope, it was a comical sight men chewing ropes but no one was laughing, the Snowleopard brigade gave them a good time with food and drinks and then kicked them out of paradise and into the mud, the veterans they had been drinking with yesterday, will probably now be hunting them in the forest in ambush, so merciless was the start, the latter…. H hard is the road ahead?

Da Xiong has been biting for a long time, his mouth is hurting, he starts to go round and round, after a few rounds, it’s Bai Xinyu’s turn, Bai Xinyu looked at the unevenly bitten twine mixed with blood and saliva, he doesn’t feel sick, he just feels panic, the try-out has only just started, he’s already panicking he leaned down, he tore at the coarse rope, it tasted of hay, mixed with blood, it made him want to vomit in his mouth, he tore at every strand of flax, until the rough rope cut through the corners of his mouth and mouth, it tore his teeth raw.

They took turns biting for a while, Chen Jing was the first to be freed, he jumped up off the ground and began to search the scene for something sharp, after searching several tents, he finally found a pack of razor blades, to cut the rope but the blades were so thin, they often bent before he could finish cutting a rope and after breaking several ropes, he found a pack of razor blades to cut the rope. After breaking a few ropes like that and more and more people being liberated, they got rocks and stuff and just ground the ropes.

They were the first Blue Team to break free, several ran to the campfire, picked up the blue envelope, there was only a piece of paper inside, with a list of coordinates and the words: 50km run.

“That’s it?” Liang Xiaomao grabbed the envelope, flipping it over and over, “That’s it? A fifty kilometre run? That’s not going to get us there in the dark.”
