The Heart of a Smith

The wild stream in the mountain stream is very clear, natural and pollution-free. Because it is located in the shade and lacks sunlight, the water temperature is the same as the groundwater.The four of them soaked in the water for a while, and most of the anger in the morning dissipated, and they felt comfortable and relieved from fatigue.

Li Sui glanced at the scars on his chest in the rippling reflection, it was once the most sensitive and dark part of his past, but now he has gotten used to living with them peacefully and it has become a part of his life experience.Li Sui couldn't even remember how long it had been since he had a nightmare again, since the familiar body temperature around him, no one else appeared in his dream.

The ancients often used the method of changing names to ward off disasters and avoid diseases, and escape fate. Li Sui often thought that maybe somewhere in the dark, the person who gave him a new name also gave him a new life.

"This water is so comfortable, Wang Wei, can this vine be used?"

Wang Wei swam over, grabbed one and pulled it hard: "Yes, yes, but there are thorns on it."

"Who is light, climb up and try first?"

Just as Sima Jingrong finished speaking, Sima Yan next to him was stunned for a moment, glanced displeasedly, and swam to the edge of the waterfall consciously, grabbed a vine, wrapped it around his wrist, and kicked out. water.

He's lean, nimble, and looks like a good rock climber.Li Sui carefully approached the small waterfall, looking up, he didn't think it was high from the shore, but when he got closer, he found that the rocks were covered with moss, and people without real kung fu couldn't get down there. Fortunately, there was a pool of water under the vines, even if they fell Down will not cause serious injury.

"Slow down." Wang Wei stared at it with a tense nerve. He was not worried about the little Sima falling, but because the rock wall was impacted by the water all the year round, some stones were loose, and it looked precarious.

Sima Yan's movements were fairly steady. His waist was strong, and he quickly climbed to the top of the rock wall.With the wet vest stuck to his body, Li Sui looked up and found that his calf was shaking slightly.

"How are you? Come down if you can't, don't be brave." Li Sui hurriedly swam below him, ready to meet him at any time.

Sima Yan wiped his face and said something, his voice was drowned in the sound of water, he changed to a thicker vine, kicked his right foot and climbed up another half meter, almost to the top.

However, at this moment, Sima Jingrong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly yelled, with a somewhat urgent tone: "There is a stone, let go!"

As soon as the words fell, a rock that had been loosened from a high place was overturned by the current, mixed with waterfall water, and fell directly on Sima Yan's head from the high place.

At the same time, Sima Yan let out a "tsk", let go of the vine in his hand, stepped on the rock wall and kicked his body away, and then "plopped" into the water with his back on the ground.

The surface of the water immediately splashed a circle, Li Sui quickly swam over, grabbed his arm and pulled him up.

"Ahem..." Sima Yan choked on some water, hung on Li Sui's body, his face flushed from coughing.

"Are you hurt?" Wang Wei also leaned over.

Sima Yan was so coughed that he couldn't speak, so he just waved his hands.

"Go ashore first." Li Sui frowned.

His whole body was covered in water, and his vest and shorts were sticking to his body, probably because he was frightened. Sima Yan's face was still a little pale, like a drenched chick, and he looked a little pitiful.It was only then that Li Sui realized that he was really thin, and his weight was probably not as good as a girl's height.

"It's almost..." Sima Yan said unwillingly after recovering from a severe cough.

"Safety is important." Li Sui patted him on the shoulder.

"If you can't do it, don't go, what's the show?" Sima Jingrong threw a piece of dry clothes over.

Sima Yan didn't pick up his clothes, and said with a sneer, "You're disappointed that I didn't get hurt?"

Sima Jingrong didn't choke back this time, and even showed a look of guilt on his face, which is strange, Li Sui and Wang Wei looked at each other in surprise, it seems that the relationship between the two brothers is not theirs Thinking so badly.

"I just took a look before jumping down." Sima Yan wiped off the water on his face, stood up, pointed to the high place, and said, "There is a pool of water on the top, and there are trees next to it. I can't see clearly whether there are watermelons."

Li Sui remembered what he said: "There is a pool of water, which means that water is easy to accumulate. The soil viscosity here is so high. Can watermelons be grown in this environment?"

"Fuck, the instructor is playing us?"

Li Sui had a clue in his heart, so he didn't worry anymore, and sat down beside him: "It's strange if we don't play tricks on us."

Although he has never been in contact with the army, Li Sui also knows the strict discipline of the army. People like them who blatantly disregard discipline, are arrogant and have no remorse, will naturally become the first choice for killing chickens and monkeys.

The instructor's whistle sounded in the distance. From the sound, the training in the morning should have started. Sima Yan put his feet in the water: "Wouldn't it be better not to train? Who cares?"

Li Sui always felt sorry for stabbing Lu Shang when he came here, the only one who can help him here is Wang Wei, but at this moment he is sitting on the shore without moving, his eyes are closed and he seems to be asleep.

"Since you can't find it, why don't you go back and report it to the instructor directly. If he wants to punish you, you can't hide." Li Sui tried to persuade.

As soon as Sima Jingrong heard that he was going back to be punished, he quit immediately. At home, he was the eldest son, and he had always been treated with inferiority by others. He had given the instructor face by not having a fit for so long, and he wanted to use this to punish him. He, don't even think about it.

"I won't go back and see what he can do to me."

Sima Yan didn't speak, but he also showed a reluctant expression. Li Sui knew that these two were the habits of the princes of the aristocratic family in the final analysis.At this time, he finally realized the gap between him and Lu Shang. No matter what the occasion, that person will always have a high degree of executive power for the people around him, as if his leadership ability is innate.

A few people played leisurely in the water, propped their heads to watch the slanting shadow under the sun grow from short to long, and teased each other at first, but then they all lay down on their stomachs and didn't want to move.There is no way, if you don’t sacrifice to the Wu Zang Temple, you won’t be able to lift your energy at all. You are all young, and you will be so hungry if you don’t eat a meal, let alone one night in advance.

"Should we soak in the water for a day? If we don't go back, we won't be able to make dinner." Wang Wei wondered.

In view of Li Sui's early experience, he was already able to endure hunger, even he felt weak in limbs and sloppy in footsteps, not to mention Sima, who was spoiled and spoiled since childhood.

Sima Jingrong brought snacks before he came, but his father found out about it, so he sent the deputy team into the dormitory to search them out, and specifically asked the housekeeper not to give him any more.At this moment, when someone mentioned it, it suddenly occurred to me that the cabinet of instant noodles, biscuits and chocolates was gone long ago, and his expression changed immediately, and he muttered: "But the instructor clearly wants to punish us, so we have to find a way to pass his test first." ah."

Li Sui glanced at the setting sun in the distance, stood up and patted his pants: "Go back to the dormitory, I will go back alone to receive the punishment."

"Then how?" Wang Wei immediately stood up.

With grass in his mouth, Sima Jingrong sighed: "Li Sui, you are good at everything, just obey the rules."

Li Sui was taken aback by what he said, Sima Jingrong got up from the ground, searched on the ground with his waist down, and found a green shoot that had just broken through the ground, his eyes lit up immediately: "There is it!"

"What is this?" Wang Wei asked.

"Watermelon seedlings."

"Watermelon seedlings? The leaves are not as big as mung beans. How did you recognize them?"

Sima Jingrong smiled triumphantly: "Who says it's not a watermelon?"

"Just lie to others, and don't implicate us later." Sima Yan disdainfully.

Sima Jingrong smiled and walked in front holding the seedlings: "Don't worry, my brother will take you to eat delicious food and spicy food."

The people on the training ground had almost dispersed, and only two male students were left doing plank support. It seemed that they had made a mistake. The instructor stood beside him with a timer in his hand.

"Instructor, we found it!" Sima Jingrong ran over as if offering a treasure.

The instructor looked sullen and stared at them coldly.

"Here, watermelon." Sima Jingrong stretched out his hand and smiled.

There was only a handful of black soil and a seedling of an indistinguishable species in his hand. The instructor stared at it, as if he was staring at some thousand-year-old exotic flower, and didn't make a sound for a long time.This time, not only Li Sui, but the other two were also sweating, afraid that the instructor would kick Da Sima out with a roundabout kick in the next second.

"Watermelon?" The instructor's expression was cloudy, as if he was going to laugh or get angry, "What does your watermelon look like?"

Sima Jingrong changed his usual jokes and said seriously: "Instructor, although this is not a ready-made watermelon, it is a watermelon seedling. It's just that it is still too small to see why. When it grows up, Will it bear watermelon?"

The instructor laughed angrily, and asked, "Then how do you prove that it is a watermelon seedling? You didn't just get it from somewhere to fool me?"

Sima Jingrong said solemnly: "It's simple, we plant it, and we will know when it grows up."

By the time the seedlings grow up, they will have left the training camp long ago.Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Sui couldn't help but secretly admire. Although Sima was not in good shape all day long, he had to admit that his thinking was indeed very active, and his brain circuit was different from that of ordinary people. Another point is that he The skin is thick enough.

This is the biggest difference between the two people. Sima Jingrong is so lazy that he is a bit lazy. In his eyes, the rules and routines of other people are like nothing. As long as he can achieve his goal, nothing will matter. Next.

But Li Sui was different, before he learned to survive, he first learned one thing, and that was to obey the rules.Failure to abide by the rules means that there will be no food and beatings. Subconsciously, he is always used to using the rules set up by others as his own spiritual shackles. This even includes Lu Shang.Lu Shang told him not to leave his sight, and he really never left for half a minute. Lu Shang told him to just warm the bed every night, and he really lived in peace for so long, never breaking the rules.

Standing on the same spot, Li Sui suddenly realized that for so long, he was like a person who only knew how to walk around the wall. Sima Jingrong's words made him suddenly see the scenery outside the wall.The door of my heart, which has been locked for 18 years, is slightly loosened for the first time in such a twilight twilight.

The instructor's face was heavy, and he was obviously embarrassed, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a way to refute his words, so he had to let them run around a few times to eat in a discouraged manner.

"Li Sui, why are you in a daze." Coming out of the cafeteria, Sima Jingrong couldn't help asking him from behind.

Li Sui: "I was thinking, what if the seedling grows too fast and we are recognized before we leave?"

"Hey, I thought you were thinking about something," Sima Jingrong waved his hand, "I sneaked out at night and trampled it to pieces, and it's over. When the time comes, there will be no proof. What will he do to us?"

Li Sui: "..."

"Oh, did I eat too much today?" Sima Jingrong patted his stomach and leaned on Li Sui, "My good brother, carry your brother back home."

Li Sui shook off his hand in disgust: "What's the matter with you?"

"I suddenly feel a little dizzy and feel like vomiting."

Li Sui looked sideways and saw that his cheeks were indeed a little red, it didn't look like it was pretending, so he went to check his temperature and said in surprise, "Fever?!"

When he called out, Wang Wei and Sima Yan also turned their heads: "What's wrong?"

"Could it be that you caught a cold in the water?"

"How long has it been soaking in total? Sima Yan is fine on such a hot day. Am I the kind of person who catches cold easily?"

Sima Yan ignored him, pulled off his collar, his face turned pale: "What is this on your neck?"

The skin looked like it had been stung by a wasp, one pimple connected to another, and it looked red and swollen.Sima Jingrong looked down and didn't take it seriously: "You were bitten by mosquitoes last night, aren't you the same?"

Sima Yan rolled up his sleeves, the place where he was bitten last night has healed, leaving only a small red spot, Li Sui and Wang Wei are in better condition, almost invisible.

"We both have the same blood type and similar physiques," Sima Yan frowned, "Did you take that medicine last night?"

As soon as he mentioned it, several people remembered that after being bitten yesterday, all three of them were sprayed with medicine, and only Sima Jingrong didn't pick it up because of anger.

"Go to the infirmary." Sima Yan dragged him to leave.

"Don't be ashamed, go to the infirmary after being bitten by a mosquito, and you'll be fine after a night of sleep, what a big deal." Sima Jingrong shook his hand away impatiently.

It's not easy for others to intervene in the matter of the two brothers, Li Sui's persuasion didn't help, so he could only let him go, there are antipyretics in his small medicine box, at worst, go back and give him two pills.

There are also night runs and theory classes at night. Because they were lazy during the day, a few people were quite energetic at the moment, so they managed to run down.The others were not so lucky. The muscles that had been ravaged for a day protested fiercely, almost dragging their bodies while running. The only two girls burst into tears and were decisively ignored by the instructor.

There was no hot water supply at night, so Li Sui poured the water from the boiling water bottle into the bucket, mixed it with cold water, and took a shower. As soon as he went out, he saw Sima Jingrong throwing himself on the bed without moving.

"Don't sleep, go take a shower." Li Sui kicked him, saw that he was not moving, went to check his temperature, the fever was gone, but the temperature was obviously cooler.

Sima Yan happened to come out too, and was stunned when he saw him: "What's wrong with him?"

"The body temperature is a bit cold." Li Sui opened the medicine box, there was anti-fever medicine, but now that the person didn't have a fever, he didn't know if he could give it to him.

"There is something I don't know whether I should say..." Wang Wei was reading on the bed. He pushed down his glasses at this time and said, "His symptoms of hot and cold, and there is a precedent of mosquito bites. I said, it should be Could it be malaria?"

As soon as he said that, Sima Yan's expression changed. He found Sima Jingrong's tablet on the bed, checked it in the library, and the more he looked, the worse his expression became.Although this kind of disease is far away from the city, it is not uncommon in this deep mountain and old forest, and the symptoms are consistent no matter how you look at it.Sima Yan pushed Sima Jingrong's body. The latter didn't know whether he was asleep or fainted. If it is really malaria, it must be sent to the hospital immediately, and a dangerous attack can be fatal.

"I'll take him to the infirmary." Sima Yan carried him on his back and ran outside.

He looked thin and small, but he didn't know where he got so much strength. The weight of a grown man was on him, and it was very difficult for onlookers, let alone Sima Yan himself.Li Sui was about to go up to help, but was stopped by Wang Wei, who made a "shh" gesture.

Li Sui was confused, Wang Wei smiled and said, "It's fine."

The infirmary was quite a distance from the dormitory, and the road was not easy to walk, but Sima Yan gritted his teeth and carried him back. When he put him down, he almost fainted from the force.

"Doctor, emergency!"

The doctor on duty was an old man who seemed to be very experienced. After listening to Sima Yan's narration, he first comforted him for a while, then picked up the stethoscope to listen, pressed his stomach, and finally issued an order for him to go to the pharmacy next door. take medicine.

"That's it?" Sima Yan frowned while holding the list, "Can malaria be cured just by taking medicine?"

"What malaria?" The doctor was amused by him, "He's suffering from heatstroke and accumulated food."

Sima Yan was still worried: "Are you right? Are you sure it's not malaria?"

"I hope so much that I get malaria, why are you at ease..." Sima Jingrong woke up at some point, and said quietly on the sofa.

Sima Yan turned around and saw that his face had softened a lot, and there was even a joking look on his face. He couldn't help but feel angry, and suddenly felt that he had been tricked, and said angrily: "You are sick, you, you didn't hear me calling you that just now. ?!"

"You called me? I'm sorry, I'm too tired to hear you." Sima Jingrong rubbed his eyes and sat up, only to realize where he was. Looking left and right, only Sima Yan, Li Sui and Wang were familiar. Wiegon didn't come, and he speculated back and forth that the only person who could bring him here was the angry man in front of him.

Sima Jingrong paused, a rare embarrassment appeared on his face: "You carried me here?"

"The ghost is here on your back!" Sima Yan threw his coat in his face and left angrily.
