Chapter 66 The Disappearing Wood
The sun came out, and He Shu and Ji Wanying failed to climb up, so they were eliminated honorably and won the grand prize of walking back to the military camp.
The others went down the mountain one after another, and under the leadership of the instructor, they sang military songs facing the rising sun.
He Shu leaned against a rock and watched the beautiful sunrise, while Ji Wanying wiped her tears beside him.
"Don't cry, how rare is this view?"
He Shu really didn't understand. If he lost, the worst that could happen was that he would be punished. What was there to cry about?
Ji Wanying looked at He Shu hatefully. What did he know?
However, Ji Wanying felt a little better when she thought that although she did not climb up, she was not the last one, and at least she climbed higher than He Shu.
After watching the sunrise, He Shu climbed up and said, "Let's go. If we don't leave now, we'll be left here."
Ji Wanying picked up her bag and limped behind. It was an hour later when the two of them slowly made their way down the mountain.
The other classmates had disappeared long ago, having gone back by bus. They still had a day off today.
Instructor Qi sat on the motorcycle and waited for the two people to come down the mountain, then slowly led the way in front.
"Are you two just trying to delay today's training? At the rate you're walking, it'll be dark by the time you get to the barracks."
Instructor Qi urged twice: "Run, run."
Run? My feet are so rotten now that I can’t even walk. How can I run?
He Shu really couldn't run anymore. No matter how Instructor Qi scolded or urged him, he just walked slowly forward.
Ji Wanying couldn't go on like this either. She ran a few steps, but every step was excruciatingly painful. Finally, she just squatted there and started crying.
She thought she was strong enough, but she was too tired and her feet hurt too much.
She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't control herself.
Finally, Instructor Qi asked Ji Wanying to sit in the sidecar, and Ji Wanying couldn't refuse after all.
Now He Shu was the only one walking. He didn't envy Ji Wanying for being able to take the car, after all, she was a girl.
He also imagined, if he imitated Ji Wanying and squatted on the ground crying, would Instructor Qi also let him ride in the car?
As soon as this idea came up, He Shu immediately rejected it.
There's a high probability that he will run himself to death, right?
All 25 boys in the team went up the mountain, but he didn't. There is nothing more embarrassing than this.
He Shu was also holding his breath, and he became determined to improve his physical fitness.
Ji Wanying, who was sitting on the motorcycle, followed Instructor Qi and watched He Shu walking silently with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.
We walked from sunrise to when the sun was high in the sky, and finally we saw the military camp not far away.
Dark stains seeped out of He Shu's shoes, and his face went from red to pale, and then from pale to red...
Ji Wanying was frightened: "Instructor, let him come up, I'll go downstairs."
Instructor Qi didn't say anything, but instead increased his pace, leaving He Shu far behind.
Those students who had already returned to the military camp by bus took a shower and changed into clean clothes under the instructions of the instructors.
We also found a health worker to pick out the blisters on the feet of the students who had them and apply medicine to them.
Everyone was resting comfortably in the barracks waiting for dinner, only Feng Haoxiang was standing on the playground under the scorching sun waiting for He Shu.
Finally, the sound of a motorcycle was heard. Feng Haoxiang ran over and saw Instructor Qi coming back with Ji Wanying.
He looked outside again, but there was no sign of He Shu.
"Instructor, where is He Shu?"
Instructor Qi glanced at Feng Haoxiang and said, "You look very energetic. You don't need to rest."
Feng Haoxiang immediately shut his mouth, chuckled twice and ran back to the barracks. After a while, he stuck his head out to look around again.
When it was time for lunch at noon, He Shu finally came back.
He saw someone running towards him from afar, and someone was calling him Brother Shu. Should it be the fourth brother Feng Haoxiang?
He Shu felt that his head was in a mess and empty. He had a headache, dizziness, tinnitus, and his five senses seemed to have lost their functions.
I couldn't find my hands holding the straps of my backpack, and my legs were moving forward uncontrollably.
Feng Haoxiang shouted twice and ran to He Shu and helped him take off his backpack. The other students also ran over when they heard the shouting.
This time no one laughed at He Shu for not being able to climb to the top of the mountain. He really walked back by himself.
"Are we there?" He Shu opened his mouth, rolled his eyes and pounced on Feng Haoxiang, causing a burst of exclamations.
…
August 31st was the day Xia Miao reported to Dadu College.
Xia Miao's parents sent her here together and arrived in Dadu a day in advance.
I originally wanted to go to Huaqing University to find He Shu before reporting.
Before coming here, Xia's father told Xia Miao's mother about He Shu. After hearing this, Xia Miao's mother also felt that He Shu was quite pitiful. It must not be easy for him to live alone since he started junior high school.
The main thing is that his studies are good. This kind of child who is motivated without any supervision will not do badly in the future.
So Xia Miao's mother agreed and asked if He Shu could come out for dinner.
But He Shu's phone was turned off all the time, and he couldn't find him, so he had to give up.
It wasn't until Xia Miao entered the school and heard other classmates talking about it that she learned that Huaqing University was conducting military training and that cell phones might not be allowed during the training.
The entrance ceremony of Dadu College was held on September 6th, but the military training for undergraduate freshmen was held during the summer vacation between freshman and sophomore year.
Xia Miao's parents returned to Danhe after attending the entrance ceremony. Xia Miao studied in a closed high school for three years, so she didn't feel any discomfort.
The girls in my dormitory come from all over the world. Unlike the boys’ dormitory, the girls don’t rank themselves as the boss or the second. They are all good friends and sisters.
From the first day, they chatted and discussed their favorite things together.
Dadu University is different from other ordinary universities. Students who can be admitted are not nerds, but they are also not the kind of people who waste their energy on other things.
Therefore, these girls will not fall in love in high school, but when they reach college, they can be a little more relaxed and start to pay attention to boys.
On the first day of school, many handsome seniors helped them to handle the formalities, and these seniors became the topic of conversation in the girls' dormitory.
The junior who received Xia Miao was also the vice president of the Student Union. He was tall and was said to be a rich second-generation and his family was very wealthy.
But Xia Miao still felt that this senior was handsome, but not as pleasing to the eye as He Shu.
Therefore, Xia Miao did not add the WeChat and QQ numbers that the senior named Wu Jie left for her.
It was very busy when I first started school, mainly because I was unfamiliar with the environment. After making a timetable, I started attending classes step by step.
Xia Miao often asked people about what was happening at Huaqing. Her roommates would hold their cell phones and make calls or send messages when they saw that she had nothing to do.
But the call never went through and the other party never replied to the message.
I guessed that Xia Miao might have a boyfriend in Huaqing, and maybe they were having a fight.
Girls who have just graduated from high school are actually not that good-looking. They are used to wearing school uniforms, and they simply tie their hair into a ponytail or cut it short to save trouble.
Every day when she wakes up, she just washes her face casually like a boy and doesn’t know how to dress up at all.
Seeing how pretty those sophomores and juniors were, the freshmen also began to learn how to dress themselves up.
No wonder they say girls become prettier after entering college. In fact, their foundation is still the same, they just know how to dress up.
Xia Miao has a good foundation, so she doesn’t need to learn how to put on makeup. She looks pretty with just a little makeup, the kind of pure beauty.
So after she came to school, she attracted the attention of many peers or seniors.
It’s just that she doesn’t like any of these people. It’s not that they are not excellent, but Xia Miao already has someone in her heart.
But that guy, we clearly agreed to keep in touch even if we are not in the same university, so why is there no movement until now?
