Chapter 9 Sun, Rain and Bread
"Rustle..."
The leaves swayed, and the evening breeze gently caressed the earth.
Kaxiu looked up at the moon in the sky, and a strong feeling of hunger suddenly surged into his heart. He wiped the sweat off his face and slowly walked out of the rectangular playground along the dim road.
In the corner of the building, a dark shadow slowly left.
"It's closed as expected..."
Kaxiu stood at the locked door of the cafeteria, and the soft white moonlight coated a thin layer of white frost on the surface of the building's spire.
Helplessly, he had to return to the dormitory area along the path.
With a creak, the half-closed door opened. A smell of damp cloth mixed with soapy water came towards him. Kaxiu pushed the door open, and the five roommates who had only met a few times were all asleep.
Next to the bed by the window, an empty bed was left. Inside, Fatty Qiao Qiao and another person were sleeping soundly.
Kaxiu slowed down his movements, picked up his toiletries and another set of apprentice uniforms from the ground and left quietly.
Twenty minutes later, he came back from a shower and changed into clean clothes. After tidying himself up a bit, he lay on the bed with his head tilted back.
He felt a wave of soreness and numbness all over his body, including his arms, thighs, waist, and back. Especially in the areas where some muscle groups were located, the pain was dense and felt like being pricked by needles.
With the moonlight outside the window, Kaxiu found a brown bottle from a pile of items. After the cork was opened with a "pop", a pungent and damp smell suddenly rose up.
This is the potion uniformly distributed by the Fengxiangmen Youth Training Camp, similar to the golden wound medicine, which is applied to the body. Apply it once to the painful parts of the body before going to bed at night, and it will be much better the next morning. It is especially useful for muscle soreness and congestion.
One bottle is enough for a month.
Kaxiu poured some lavender potion, rubbed his hands violently, and then applied it to the sore muscles three or four times.
The moment the potion was applied to the skin, a contradictory feeling of hot and cool mixed with each other spread from the application to the mind. Kaxiu's arm trembled, and fine goose bumps rose from his skin.
It was hot and painful, burning. After a while, the burning sensation gradually dissipated, and the coolness gradually occupied a larger area of skin.
Leaning against the wall and waiting for five or six minutes, Kaxiu found that the soreness of his muscles had been relieved a little. The effect of this medicine was not bad.
Covering the bottle cap, he put the potion back in place. He pressed his stomach lightly, and his muscles stopped hurting, and the feeling of hunger surged up.
There was no way, the cafeteria was closed, and he could only hold on until morning.
Taking a deep breath, Kaxiu lay down. A sense of fatigue came from all over his limbs and surged into his mind like a tide. For a while, the soreness of his muscles was suppressed, and his vision gradually blurred.
He felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.
"Xiao Wei... Xiao Wei... Xiao Wei..."
A faint call came from outside the window.
"Hmm?" Kaxiu rubbed his tired eyes and quickly got up. She walked a few steps toward the bed and quietly opened the window.
Under the wooden frame, the moonlight shrouded the place. Li Chu looked up at this side, her white face slightly nervous. She saw Ka Xiu open the window, her face lit up, and she hurriedly walked a few steps forward.
"Sister? Why are you in the boys' dormitory..."
Article 10 of the Youth Training Camp Rules states that after 7pm, male and female students are not allowed to enter each other's dormitory areas. Once someone is caught, they will be publicly criticized first and then kicked out of the Youth Training Camp.
"Didn't you have dinner? Here." Li Chu first glanced around nervously, then took out a white bread from her pocket. She tiptoed and stuffed it into Ka Xiu's hand.
Before Ka Xiu could speak, Li Chu took a few steps back. She waved and walked towards the female dormitory.
By the window, Ka Xiu watched Li Chu safely leave the male dormitory area and disappear at the end of his sight. Then he slowly closed the window.
He sat back on the bed, looking at the still warm white bread in his hand, and blinked. The bread was torn in half from the middle, and there was a piece of light brown meat steak inside.
Kaxiu took a big bite.
He muttered vaguely: "Delicious."
The first day of double training: tired, initial contact with basic fighting skills, the strength of the movements was not up to standard. The completion time in the morning and afternoon was delayed for a long time. Fortunately, Lixia asked the assistant to leave lunch, and Li Chu brought the meat bread at night.
The second day: tired, the weather was extremely hot, and the sun was strong. The physical training in the morning almost caused heatstroke. Lixia allowed me to rest for five minutes under the shade of the tree every once in a while. The completion time in the morning and afternoon was still delayed, and lunch and dinner were similar to the first day.
The third day: tired, hot, and still hot. The situation was the same as the previous two days, and I found traces of burns on my skin at night. The potion of the Fengxiangmen Youth Training Camp also worked for this.
The fourth day: tired, cloudy, and strong wind. The most comfortable time in the past few days, although still very tired, but much better than the previous few days. In good condition, the completion time at noon was twenty minutes earlier than usual. Teacher Lisha rewarded me with half an extra lunch.
Day 5: Tired, depressed, heavy rain. Sure enough, after cloudy days, there will be rainy days. I should have thought of this earlier. My condition dropped by one third, and the lunch break was over when I finished lunch. Practicing boxing on rainy days is not efficient. I hate humidity more than heat. An accident happened at night, and Li Chu was almost discovered, so I sent dinner to stop.
Day 6: Tired, cloudy, and efficient. The weather and environment are suitable, and I am in good condition. I caught up with dinner for the first time. I went back to bed early and chatted with Qiao Qiao at night. He said that if he was eliminated and went home, he would work hard to make a lot of money, not only to support a family of eight, but also to buy a noble status. Become a noble with a large manor and find a beautiful, virtuous and kind girl to marry. The name of the child has been thought of: "George Joestar."
On the seventh day, Kaxiu opened the window and looked at the weather outside. It was terrible, between cloudy and rainy.
I don't know if it will suddenly rain in the middle of practice.
As usual, he put on his apprentice uniform and walked out of the dormitory. The breakfast in the cafeteria today was pretty good. After drinking the milk, Kaxiu still felt a little unsatisfied. He came to the playground in the cool breeze.
Instructor Lixia hadn't arrived yet. The assistant squinted his eyes and leaned against the tree. Only half of the students in the field were talking and chatting with each other.
Kaxiu looked around and suddenly saw a familiar figure in the square on the right. Red-haired, freckled face, and a ruffian look between his eyebrows. It was Finn who had recovered from his injury and returned to training.
As if he noticed someone staring at him, Finn turned his head and looked over. After finding out that it was Kaxiu, his eyes were a little evasive, but then he widened his eyes inexplicably and looked over here fiercely. His eyes were full of anger and a hint of resentment.
Kaxiu frowned and retracted his gaze.
He is so energetic after lying in bed for more than ten days.
I hope he will be so energetic later...
