The calamity begins to manifest
In the last chapter, it was mentioned that Xīn Tái Medical University organized a large-scale training for freshmen who were not very new on May 1st. The training, called "Crossing the Great Qin Empire", took place at the foot of the ancient Great Wall. After half a month of preparation, the freshmen, dressed in green thin military uniforms with a bright red waistband and black cloth shoes, carried long-handled spears and large and small bags of gifts, and marched towards the military training base in an imposing manner.
At 8:30 in the evening, after nearly three hours on the bus, we arrived at the military training base with excitement and nervousness. The sky was too dark to see the moon and stars, and since we were in a remote area, there were very few lights. The parking lot only had one big lamp, I felt like I couldn't see anything, and followed the leader's small red flag in the dark until we reached the dormitory.
The dormitory is built on the slope of a small hill, with several rows of staggered bungalows, the lower one being the boys' dorm and the upper one being the girls', with an iron gate in between.
The dormitory is surprisingly large, with more than 20 beds. There are 15 girls in our class, and we all live in one dormitory, leaving 5 or 6 empty beds for luggage.
Because the senior brothers and sisters said that the conditions for military training were too harsh, we got nervous and bought a large number of things, packing our big bags extremely heavily, almost breaking the girls' waists.
But soon afterwards, I realized that these preparations were still far from enough.
Just settled in, put down luggage, hadn't rested yet, a male national defense student-like thing ran in, announcing there was an hour of tidying up time, Zhao Zhengwei would be coming for inspection.
Director Zhao, our school's political commissar in charge of military training and military theory, is the highest-ranking official to come with us for this military training. As expected, we were thoroughly intimidated, quickly regained our energy, and cleaned up.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, just over an hour later, Zhao Zhengwei, dressed in his marshal uniform, arrived at our dormitory amidst the cheers and applause of the crowd.
We thought we had cleaned up carefully and were waiting to be praised. Unexpectedly, Director Zhao looked at our dormitory and his face turned black with anger, scaring us so much that we didn't dare breathe.
"Look, how you fold your quilts is considered a special military training. The training and requirements you receive are just like modern military training. Hurry up and reorganize." After giving the order, he was surrounded again.
"Ah——" All we heard was the sound of everyone letting out a collective sigh, Zhao Zhengwei walked away and collapsed back onto his bed, lacking the energy to tidy up again. It's not like this kind of inspection happens every day, it only happens once a week.
Post-90s can be lazy, and then even lazier, this is a kind of wisdom!
I heard the sound of a tricycle passing by outside, and under the education of our seniors, we deeply understand that it is Grandpa who has brought boiled water, and besides, the boiled water he brings is often not enough.
In May in XinTai City, the ancient Great Wall area is also considered a mountainous region, but it's still very cold. Using cold water is unbearable. With a sudden movement, I immediately got out of bed to fetch water.
The bed creaks a bit and makes a "creaking" sound when you turn over slightly.
The first night passed somewhat hastily.
At six o'clock in the morning, the bugle sounded loudly, and we got out of bed with sleepy eyes. The actions of dressing and folding quilts were very mechanical, and everyone had not yet adapted to their own rhythm.
Only I and Zhou Meng had gotten up early, sneaked out of the dormitory, found a secluded hillside with no one around, and practiced breathing exercises on the back side of the hill. The air in this mountain is extremely good.
After adjusting his breath, we saw Zhou Meng with his hands crossed in front of his chest, staring at the ancient Great Wall not far from the small hillside, his face didn't look good.
"Meng Jie, what's wrong?" Zhou Meng said, similar to "Ku Jie" or "Shi Jie", it's too exaggerated and I'm strictly forbidden from calling her that, so I changed it to "Meng Jie".
Zhou Meng didn't answer us immediately, but instead fell into a profound and mysterious contemplation for a moment. It wasn't until the sound of bugles drifted over from the dormitory that he came back to his senses.
"Meng Jie, what's wrong?" Ah Yin asked for the second time, unwilling to give up.
Zhou Meng slightly furrowed her brow, "The ancient Great Wall area has a heavy yin energy, it makes me feel uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, I immediately felt a surge of reverence. When will our family be able to reach the level where we can see whether the yin energy is heavy or not?
I thought for a moment, the ancient Great Wall was built with the lives and flesh of Qin slaves, so it's normal to have a heavy atmosphere. I shared this idea with Zhou Meng, who also found it reasonable, and we went back to our dorm together.
When we returned to the dormitory, we happened to meet our senior sister Liang Yuanyue from the dormitory, who was holding a cup and toothbrush with a towel hanging around her neck. She saw that we were dressed up and asked in surprise: "Where did you go?"
"The toilet." The toilet is in the direction we just came from.
Because there are no beds here, we can't do our homework in the dormitory either, or we will be regarded as mentally ill.
"Oh." The older sister immediately went out to the faucet in the room.
Looking at her back, I felt a pang of sympathy. After washing up, Zhou Meng and I saw the canteen auntie on the slope below pouring wastewater into the water storage tank...
Hard and simple conditions.
As expected, she came back after brushing her teeth and excitedly told us that she saw potato chips in the water. For now, it can be inferred that there were potatoes for lunch. She even seemed quite proud of herself.
Took out a few pieces of candy from the bag and gave some to Zhou Meng, first peeled one to eat. Doing morning exercises, afraid of low blood sugar.
When I went out to line up with Zhou Meng, the two of us were in a hurry, our faces had excitement that couldn't be suppressed, and also some fluster. In the flurry, she bumped into me, without even saying "sorry".
"It seems to be two girls from the biopharmaceutical institute." I rubbed my shoulders, they looked good and were quite active figures in the storm, possibly being hit hard, dizzy, feeling that there was a faint black aura surrounding them.
Originally wanted Zhou Meng to turn around and take a look, but this guy had already quickly walked to the corner to make a phone call, presumably to K.
I felt a little envious, took out my phone, opened the address book and took a look, then turned it off.
Ever since discovering the fact that Ou had been dead for a long time, she secretly sealed off the news and licked her wounds alone for several months before it didn't feel so painful.
But I still have a fantasy, after all, when I first saw him, he was already a real spirit body, maybe I still have the opportunity to see him again. Even though it's been more than half a year, he hasn't appeared yet.
Zhou Meng hung up the phone and walked over with a happy face, they didn't say much, usually when they dated, they would just stare at each other blankly, blush and smile, smile without speaking, a kind of unspoken happiness.
I immediately hid my loss, but was still discovered by her.
"Don't worry, Qiu Ye will be back soon." Zhou Meng comforted.
They all didn't know I saw Ou's body in the anatomy lab, they thought he just went missing.
I smiled and nodded vigorously. At least I was surrounded by people who truly cared about me.
In the martial arts arena.
We saw the instructor for the first time, he was a soldier in a class, wearing ancient general's armor at this time, looking very majestic, seeing their very satisfied faces, I guess they like this military uniform very much.
Director Zhao had not yet begun to speak when there was a commotion in the distant crowd. It was too far away, with too many people in between, and it was impossible to see clearly. About five minutes later, two female students were carried out, unconscious, and sent to the infirmary.
