Chapter 015: Poisoning the Class Monitor

  Today, the deputy class leader alone used a punching bag as cover to scout out the route from the back mountain to the outside city. Because the new recruit's deputy class leader was also here for the first time and wasn't from our own unit, the class leader looked through the window and saw the deputy class leader in the back mountain, feeling somewhat curious. In the end, the class leader couldn't resist bringing me over to take a look.

  I and the monitor went to the back hill afterwards. The deputy monitor was bare-chested, punching a sandbag fiercely.

  "What's wrong with you, Lin Zishui?"

  The class monitor walked over and asked directly.

  The deputy class monitor saw the class monitor coming over and looked a bit nervous. He glanced at me, and I quickly shook my head secretly to indicate that I hadn't betrayed him.

  The deputy class monitor saw me shaking my head and hastily lied to the class monitor: "Class monitor, I'm not feeling well in my heart and want to vent."

  "Unpleasant?" The class monitor asked half-believingly.

  "Hmm, not very satisfying."

  At this time, I immediately stepped forward a few steps and walked to the side of the class leader, explaining to the deputy class leader: "Yes, class leader, the deputy class leader is because of his ex-girlfriend's matter."

  I'm impressed, I have to admit that the deputy class monitor's acting skills are too much. When I helped him lie, his eyes were actually red and moist, now the class monitor completely believes him.

  The class monitor then turned to me and said: "Xiao Bin, you can go back now. I'll have a chat with your deputy."

  I nodded and walked towards the barracks.

  I know, the class monitor is going to have a heart-to-heart talk with the vice-class leader again as the big brother.

  Before lights out at night, I was secretly thinking about how to get the cold medicine from Hu San Dao to be taken by the class monitor.

  "Got it."

  I made an excuse to call Hu Xingwei out, and quietly told him about the deputy class monitor sneaking out at night and everything the deputy class monitor had told me.

  Hu Xingwei patted his chest and promised not to tell the class monitor, and also agreed to help me make the class monitor obey.

  We returned to the classroom and waited for the class monitor to leave the room so that we could have an opportunity to put the cold medicine into the class monitor's water cup.

  The lights-out whistle was about to sound, and the deputy class leader, who was lying in bed, also started to get anxious, and had quietly signaled me several times.

  It was at this time that Hu Xingwei did something that made me and the vice class monitor admire him very much.

  "This guy is about to go crazy, he deliberately walks in front of the class leader and shouts: 'Damn it, who the hell took away my military socks? I'm going to die, can't even find them.'"

  This guy deliberately farted loudly in front of the class monitor, who was instantly enraged and scolded Hu Xinquan with a dark face: "Hu Xinquan, your mother's... Get out!"

  Success

  I quietly gave Hu San Dao a thumbs up. The whole class of new recruits found it strange, what's wrong with Hu Xingwei this time?

  Brother Hu is too righteous, sacrificing himself to ensure we complete our mission.

  Huxinwei was called out by the monitor, and then the monitor also went out. The monitor was enraged by Huxinwei's scolding, and wanted to punish him outside.

  When the monitor left, I quietly opened the monitor's water cup and took advantage of the other new recruits in the class not paying attention, I poured in the powdered cold medicine that I had pinched beforehand.

  Then I hastily picked up the kettle and poured hot water into it.

  After doing all this, the deputy class leader also felt at ease and lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

  I'm a bit curious about Hu Xinnüe, that righteous brother, now. I carefully open the door a little and peek inside through the gap.

  I'm so obedient... it's really hard for our comrade Hu.

  Hu Xingwei was doing push-ups on the ground with all his might, and the class monitor sat on his back.

  Good comrade, your sacrifice is valuable. I represent CCTV, 17K Net and Deputy Platoon Leader to thank you.

  I couldn't bear to watch anymore, so I closed the door and lay down on the bed.

  The lights-out signal was sounded soon after.

  At this time, the class leader and Hu Xingwei also returned. The class leader came in first, followed by Hu Xingwei, who covered his waist in pain and walked in with difficulty, even struggling to climb up to my upper bunk.

  After the lights in the room went out, the class leader shouted at us: "Everyone hurry up and go to sleep. Tomorrow morning, get up as usual for a 5-kilometer long run."

  "Yes," replied all the new recruits in unison.

  I lay on the lower bunk opposite the monitor, in the dark of night, my eyes fixed intently on the movements from the monitor's side.

  I went, and saw that the class monitor was almost asleep, but didn't drink water. Normally, the class monitor would drink a cup of water before sleeping, but not today.

  "No way, if the class leader doesn't drink, Hu San Dao would have suffered in vain." I thought to myself.

  I couldn't let the monitor sleep like this, so I quietly got up and climbed back on, just as the monitor suddenly shouted at me: "Xiao Bin, what are you doing?"

  "Monitor, I couldn't sleep, tell me about your stories when you were a new recruit." This sentence suddenly popped out of my head.

  "Get out of here and go to sleep quickly." The class monitor yelled at me in a bad mood.

  I didn't listen to the class monitor, I felt along the table where the cup was placed and touched the warm cup that had been used to add material for the class monitor.

  Holding the quilt, I walked to the head of the class's bed, squatted down beside it, and handed over a cup of water: "Come on, Head of Class, have a drink and tell me about it."

  At this time, Hu Santao and Zheng Hao, several new recruits, also curiously called out to the squad leader in a low voice: "Squad leader, tell us, we want to know too."

  "Squad leader, go tell those new recruits something." The deputy squad leader who was lying on the top bunk also chimed in.

  The class monitor saw that the vice class monitor had said so, took over my water cup and gulped a big mouthful: "Strange, this cup of water is a bit salty."

  I'm going, isn't it? Did I put too much seasoning and now it has flavor?

  "In order to avoid arousing the class monitor's suspicion, I quickly thought of a response and said: 'Class monitor, maybe there was something wrong with the water in the boiler room today. When I drank it earlier, it tasted a bit salty too. Class monitor, please tell us about it.'"

  "Yes, Old Classmate, go ahead and talk, go ahead and talk."

  Hu Xingwei sat on the bed and smiled softly at the class monitor.

  The class monitor put a cup of water in my hand and began to tell us about his time as a new recruit.

  After listening to the monitor's story about his time as a new recruit, we only then realized that when our monitor was a new recruit, his physical condition was actually relatively poor compared to other soldiers of the same year.

  However, his new squad leader took a liking to him and gave him extra training every day. When other recruits ran 5 kilometers, he had to wear lead blocks on his body; when others did 100 push-ups, he had to do 200.

  In almost every training subject, the platoon leader's training volume is more than that of other new recruits.

  After hearing the class monitor's story, we were all shocked. Now I understand why the class monitor was so strict with me. The current me is just like the class monitor back then.

  Taking advantage of the class monitor telling his story as a new soldier, I also took the opportunity to get the class monitor to drink water. Fortunately, after finishing the story, all the water in the class monitor's cup was drunk, and the class monitor even actively asked me to refill it for him.

  Finally managed to drink it down...

  After finishing the story, I also returned to my own bed and soon fell asleep due to drowsiness.
