Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

Because of that noodle shop incident, Ma Li was happy for a long time.

It's a pity that although her mood is sunny and clear, the weather recently has been gloomy and gloomy, which is very disrespectful.

Taking advantage of the lunch break to run to the second shift, Ma Li complained to her brother: "Why does it rain every day, I can't watch Ye Li run openly."

Ma Bin is used to Ma Li's nympho words and deeds, but he still can't understand: "What's so interesting about running."

Ma Li: "Of course it looks good, you think Ye Li is you."

Ma Bin's left ear goes in and out of his right ear, and he looks like you are right in everything you say: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, it looks good, let's do it."

Ma Li pouted dissatisfiedly: "What, hum."

Seeing that Ma Bin was not interested at all, Ma Li stood up and walked out: "I won't tell you anymore, I hate it."

Ma Bin watched his sister leave, stretched his waist, leaned back on the chair, and looked around boredly.

This is a well-known key high school, and the students around him are all good at brains. The learning atmosphere on campus is completely different from the No. [-] Middle School he was in before.

The students over there are more playful, especially the group headed by Ma Bin. They spend most of their time in class sleeping on their desks. live guy.

There are fewer students who like to play around here than there are in No. [-] High School. Naturally, there are not many people who can play with a guy like Ma Bin whose brain is made of muscle cells.

That's not to say it's a bad school, but it's still going to be boring.

So the time of the day that Ma Bin looks forward to most is the club sports after school, where he can sweat freely on the sports field and exercise his body to his heart's content.

It's a pity that we encountered this continuous drizzle.

Isn't there anything interesting to do...

The moment he thought this way, Ma Bin saw a familiar figure outside the classroom.His eyes moved to the side, and as expected, he saw Qiu Mu who was sitting in his seat got up and walked outside.

After chatting with the person at the door, Qiu Mu walked in with a cup of coffee in his hand.When passing by Ma Bin, Qiu Mu smiled at him.

——Although Ma Bin and Ye Li don't get along naturally, they still have a good attitude towards Qiu Mu, an old classmate they met a long time ago.

Who made Qiu Mu always have an aura of being able to get along well with everyone, Ma Bin just wanted to find Qiu Mu's fault, and he couldn't find a reason to fight against Qiu Mu.

Ma Bin said: "Ye Li seems to come here often to bring you coffee."

Qiu Mu stopped walking, stood beside Ma Bin's seat and said with a smile, "Yes."

Ma Bin remembered that he would occasionally bring drinks to his sister, so he said, "He has a pretty good relationship with you."

Qiu Mu nodded: "Yes."

Because everyone knows the basics, Ma Bin didn't shy away from anything: "I wondered a long time ago, it's a good thing you can get along with that guy."

Qiu Mu smiled: "Xiao Li is actually not bad by nature."

"I know he's not bad, but I just think he's weird." Ma Bin: "I used to quarrel with him because he always did ignorant things and made everyone unhappy."

Qiu Mu roughly understood the reason for the quarrel between Ma Bin and Ye Li. It was nothing more than the fact that Ma Bin tried to help Ye Li before the fourth grade of elementary school, but was annoyed by Ye Li's repeated cynicism, and finally hated it altogether. Ye Li, and even lead a group to bully Ye Li in turn, Ye Li must be happy.

In the final analysis, it was the insignificant dispute between the children, and it was not a deep hatred that could not be solved.

Qiu Mu took a sip of coffee and said, "Xiao Li has changed a little now, not as stubborn as before."

Ma Bin said in a very confident tone: "It must be all thanks to you. If you hadn't been watching him, Ye Li would never have become what he is now. He is the kind of villain who will grow up to be a big villain in TV dramas." , and not an exaggerated type at all.”

After hearing this, Qiu Mu couldn't help laughing: "Even if you are a villain, you have already corrected your evil ways."

Ma Bin curled his lips inexplicably.

Qiu Mu patted Ma Bin's shoulder with the hand that was not holding the coffee: "Xiao Li has long since stopped being angry with you, but I just don't know how to say it."

Ma Bin: "I'm not angry with him either."

It's just that they just don't get along and don't like each other.

Qiu Mu smiled, did not continue to talk, changed the topic, looked at the gloomy weather outside the window: "It would be great if the rain stopped today."

Ma Bin looked over, looked at the gray sky, and said following Qiu Mu's words: "Yes."

The topic seemed to be over here. Qiu Mu returned to her seat, drinking coffee with a restrained expression and sitting upright, reading a book.It seems that the location is not a lively high school class, but some expensive and elegant cafe.

Ma Bin took a few glances at Qiu Mu, and thought "Although he is a man, but it's really pleasing to the eye" flashed in his mind, and then he looked away.

Qiu Mu's words seemed to have taken effect.

The drizzle that had been falling continuously since the morning suddenly stopped during the third class in the afternoon.The dark clouds slowly dissipated, and the sunlight came out from the gaps in the clouds, and fell on the wet ground, forming countless dazzling golden spots.

The dull air became fresh after the rain. Ma Bin watched the clouds above his head gradually dissipate, and the sky began to clear up. He was in a good mood.

Although it is possible to exercise in the gymnasium, it is not as enjoyable as running on the spacious playground.

After the last class, the teacher left the classroom after assigning homework.Ma Bin stuffed the books on the table into the drawer, and Sa Yazi ran outside.

Ten minutes later, all the players gathered and stood on the grass in the middle of the playground, listening to the coach talk about today's training content.

Ma Bin suddenly saw out of the corner of his eyes, his sister was standing not far away waving to him. After raising his palm in response, he looked around naturally.

Sure enough, Qiu Mu and Ye Li were seen on the red and green rubber track not far away.

I heard that Qiu Mu's sports event is 2000 meters. Ye Li runs next to Qiu Mu every time. Did he also choose 2000 meters?

The person named Gu Yu who always follows the two of them seems to be absent this time.

Standing where he was, Ma Bin drove off in a wild way of thinking.

Then a loud whistle sounded, although the ear could not hear what the coach said clearly, the footsteps had already moved subconsciously.Following his teammates, he ran towards the track neatly, and passed by Ye Li and Qiu Mu after a while.

A group of boys ran forward laughing and playing. Ma Bin was used to the atmosphere of the students in this school playing and running while running.

"Ma Bin, go on." Suddenly hearing a voice behind him, Ma Bin subconsciously turned his head and raised his hand to grab the thrown basketball.

"Wait to play later?" The classmate who threw the ball said, "Call Ah Xiang and the others."

"Okay." Ma Bin nodded without hesitation, and threw the basketball back.

The man casually grabbed the basketball, then threw it at the back of the head of a boy running in front, and smiled: "Hey, catch the ball!"

The man turned his head back as quickly as Ma Bin, but unlike Ma Bin, he didn't catch the ball. Instead, he turned his upper body sideways while running to hide, and joked to the man, "Stupid, go pick it up yourself!"

The man glanced at the other party angrily: "It's really..." He left the team and trotted to pick up the basketball that bounced and ran away.

Ma Bin said to the man who avoided the basketball: "Go play after training."

The other party replied "OK".Ma Bin opened his mouth and was about to continue to say something, when he suddenly heard the team members running out of the queue chasing the basketball, shouting loudly: "Hey! Get out of the way!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Ma Bin saw the basketball rolling forward through the shadows of his teammates.

A little further back in the jumping route is...

Qiu Mu's surprised expression, and Ye Li's movements of holding Qiu Mu's arm and carefully protecting him in his arms, caught Ma Bin's eyes.

In the next second, Ye Li's foot stepped on the side of the rolling basketball that Qiu Mu was about to step on, and then fell heavily.

"Damn it." The team member who threw the basketball cursed in a low voice, and hurriedly ran towards Ye Li: "Hey, are you okay!"

......

Qiu Mu didn't realize what happened at all.

All I know is that I heard a stranger say "Get out of here", and the next second, my left hand was suddenly grabbed by Ye Li's palm, I pulled it hard, took two steps to the right, and fell into Ye Li's arms , followed Ye Li's movements and fell to the other side unconsciously.

what happened?

The scenery in the field of vision was pulled up quickly, Ye Li's back fell heavily on the ground, Qiu Mu had no problem because of Ye Li's body as a cushion.Ye Li let out a low, muffled hum because of the front and rear impacts.

After landing, the body is no longer weightless.Qiu Mu quickly got up from Ye Li, and said to Ye Li, "How are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Mu saw clearly the side-lying posture of Ye Li protecting him from falling, and the orange-red basketball rolled away beside him.

He felt that he almost understood what happened just now.

Ye Li slowly sat up from the ground, shook his head to indicate that he was fine.Looking at the calf, slowly raise the leg up.

The purple-red torn skin and the ankles that turned blue at a speed visible to the naked eye made Qiu Mu's pupils shrink slightly.

Before Ye Li said anything, Qiu Mu nervously put his hands on Ye Li's calf: "Here—go to the infirmary!"

A lot of people ran over from a distance, Ma Bin, a boy who picked up the basketball and frowned at Ye Li, Ma Li and a few girls who hadn't met much.

"It's okay, it's just a broken skin. Hiss—" Ye Li wanted to try to stand up from the ground, but his body shook, and the tingling sensation spread to the nerves of his brain, and he sat down weakly, and then subconsciously sucked Take a breath.

Qiu Mu's fingers on Ye Li's leg trembled subconsciously, and his eyes widened: "What's wrong!"

Ye Li tentatively moved the sole of his foot, and said helplessly, "It seems to be twisted."

Before Qiu Mu had time to speak, Ma Li had already rushed to Ye Li's side from a long distance away, squatting on the ground and quickly asked Ye Li, "How is it? Where did you fall?"

Her eyes never moved away from Ye Li from the beginning to the end, so she naturally knew exactly what happened.He glanced at the boys surrounding him with a worried face, and then glared at Ma Bin angrily.

Ma Bin was wronged, he said to Qiu Mu: "Are you all right?"

Ye Li didn't speak, and Qiu Mu frowned, rarely showing an undisguised anger in front of people.

Seeing that Ye Li didn't open his mouth to blame others, Qiu Mu didn't want to say anything serious.

"...I'll take you to the infirmary, can you stand up?"

Ye Li: "Yes."

Ma Li quickly pushed Ma Bin and urged: "What are you doing here, help me!"

"..." Ma Bin walked to the other side of Ye Li, and Qiu Mu helped Ye Li stand up with one arm.

Ye Li pushed Ma Bin away calmly, leaning most of his body strength on Qiu Mu.

Ma Bin looked at the hands that were suddenly free, and stood half a step away from Ye Li, watching Ye Li's indifferent expression, and didn't try to help again.

He wanted to go back to the team for training and leave it alone, but Ma Li held his hand and refused to let him go.

"I didn't throw the ball." Ma Bin explained for himself.

Ma Li: "I know you didn't throw it, but after you left, I have no reason to follow Ye Li and go to the infirmary with him."

Ma Bin: "..."

So he's the scapegoat for throwing the ball or what?

Ma Li took Ma Bin's hand and followed Ye Li and Qiu Mu closely.

In the infirmary, there was no school doctor.The cabinet containing the medicines is locked and cannot be used.

Ma Li was full of energy, and she took the initiative to say "I'll go find the doctor and teacher", and ran away in a hurry.

The "prop man" Ma Bin was left alone and stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

Qiu Mu asked Ye Li to sit on the chair and not to move around, walked to the table in the infirmary, rummaged through the small box on the table, and found the key.Open the cabinet with the key, take out the absorbent cotton and alcohol, and then return to Ye Li.

Ye Li said "I'll do it myself", but Qiu Mu shook her head, knelt down and wiped Ye Li's wound.

"I'll disinfect you, bear with it if it hurts."

Opening the cap of the alcohol bottle, Qiu Mu focused on washing the wound on Ye Li's ankle with alcohol.

Ye Li stared at Qiu Mu, his face remained unchanged, as if he didn't feel any pain, and even restrained the subconscious movement of his calf caused by stimulation.The ankle was suspended in the air motionless, so that Qiu Mu could wipe it for him.

"You were injured to protect me." Qiu Mu looked at the blood-stained wounds gushing out in front of him, and said, "It's okay if you don't do this."

Ye Li lowered his head, looked at Qiu Mu's movements, and said, "It's all the same."

Qiu Mu felt a little frustrated inexplicably: "Obviously I was supposed to protect you, but who knew that I would even hurt you instead."

There was a faint smile on the corner of Ye Li's mouth, but it was a pity that Qiu Mu couldn't see it with her head down.

"I have rough skin and thick flesh, and I recover faster than you."

Qiu Mu looked up angrily and glared at Ye Li: "What are you talking about!"

"Haha."

Qiu Mu threw away the blood-stained cotton ball and stood up: "Is there any pain?"

Ye Li didn't speak, took Qiu Mu's hand, and pulled him to the bed next to him to sit down.Under Qiu Mu's suspicious eyes, he took the things in his hand, and then gently raised Qiu Mu's arm.

Qiu Mu said, "What's wrong?"

Ye Li said, "Didn't you notice that you were injured?"

"Where am I..." In the middle of speaking, Ye Li stopped when he touched the cotton ball to his elbow, and unconsciously bared his teeth and screamed: "Hiss——it hurts."

When the alcohol touches the broken skin, the unspeakable taste is really unpleasant.

Ye Li said, "Blood is pouring out."

Qiu Mu blinked, looked at the wound, and said, "I didn't feel it at all."

"..." The expression on Ye Li's face became more gentle.

Qiu Mu looked straight at Ye Li's expression and said, "Hello."

Ye Li: "Huh?"

Qiu Mu smiled and touched Ye Li's hair on the forehead with her uninjured hand, met Ye Li's raised gaze, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"Fool." Ye Li replied angrily.

But holding Qiu Mu's hand, the movement of raising the palm to wipe it became softer unknowingly.

"..." Ma Bin stood in a corner of the infirmary and watched the interaction between the two boys. He vaguely felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

The relationship between these two people is really good - such a thought floated in his mind, Ma Bin saw a white figure appear from behind the door and walked into the infirmary.

Followed by Ma Li's loud voice: "Teacher, my classmate's foot is injured!"

In the infirmary, Ye Li and Qiu Mu turned their eyes after hearing Ma Li's voice.

Qiu Mu said, "Hi, teacher."

He gestured to the alcohol and cotton next to him, and said to the school doctor, "I don't think you're here, so I borrowed something—can you bandage my friend's wound?"

The school doctor nodded, and went to get something from the side cabinet: "Okay."

After school the next day, Qiu Mu was about to leave the classroom with her schoolbag on her back when she met Ma Bin who was also leaving with her schoolbag on her back.

The two stopped at the same time and looked at each other. Qiu Mu was wondering if he wanted to say something, but Ma Bin spoke first.

"How is Ye Li's foot and when will it be healed?"

Qiu Mu: "It's okay, just rest for two weeks and you'll be fine—thank you."

Ma Bin was inconvenient to say that because Ma Li had been whispering and complaining in his ear all day long, he couldn't help asking, hoping that Ye Li would get better quickly so that he could be relieved.

"Two weeks? Then the sports meeting will be missed." Ma Bin said, "It's all because of my friend. If he didn't miss that ball, Ye Li wouldn't have fallen."

Qiu Mu comforted: "It was just an accident, and you didn't do it on purpose. Xiao Li is not angry."

The incident has already happened, and the injury has been suffered. Since he does not intend to pursue responsibility, he should be a good person and say a few nice words, so that he can still win the favor of Ma Bin and the others.This set of tricks of pushing the boat along the water and selling favors, Qiu Mu did it very naturally.At the end, he also brought Ye Li's name by the way, pointing out that the protagonist who needs to be made up by Ma Bin and others is Ye Li.

Sure enough, Ma Bin looked much better, and said: "That's right, but if you tell us something, my friend will do what he should do."

Qiu Mu just smiled: "Okay."

"..." Feeling as if there was no topic to talk about, Ma Bin said without anything to say: "You two have a very good relationship."

Qiu Mu nodded: "Yes."

"Look at the way you two were in the infirmary before, like brothers."

Qiu Mu smiled and said, "It's my brother."

Because Qiu Mu's tone was very certain, without any hesitation.So when Qiu Mu said this, Ma Bin couldn't help thinking of himself.

In the years of junior high school, many things happened at home. The most self-destructive thing he did was to fight and make trouble with a group of friends to vent his anger, so he went home every now and then with a colorful face on his face.

I thought this would attract the attention of my parents, but my mother's bad personality didn't change because of this, and she didn't show any more expressions except sneer when she saw him hurt.

Although his father was angry, but because he was busy with the divorce with his mother, he didn't have much energy to take care of him. Finally, when Ma Bin was in the first year of junior high school, he successfully got rid of the pain that had tortured him for many years.Ma Bin was depressed for a while because of this.

A year and a half later, his father married his current mother, who was a woman who was completely opposite to Ma Bin's biological mother.He has a gentle personality and loves to laugh. He always looks at Ma Bin cautiously and shows his affection to Ma Bin.

When I first saw Ma Bin injured and came home, the stepmother was startled and nervous for a while, and the younger sister, who was completely opposite to her mother, yelled that Ma Bin was useless and would get hurt in any fight. Next time Find her in group fights, her group of little sisters can definitely hold the place.The stepmother, on the other hand, took medicine to wipe Ma Bin's wound while talking, and whispered to Ma Bin in a tone of fear that Ma Bin would be impatient to stop being mischievous, and the adults would be very worried.

The relationship between the three of them seems to have improved unknowingly under such circumstances.Although they are not related by blood, they are just like real family members without any barriers.

So Ma Bin showed a knowing smile and said, "Yes."

He was so resistant to his new family at first, but now he can get along well with his stepmother and younger sister.

That "cactus" Ye Li, who is covered in spikes and doesn't like to talk to anyone, is now getting along with Qiu Mu in an intimate way, like brothers, which is not unimaginable.

Ma Bin said: "Are you going to run laps today?"

Qiu Mu: "Maybe."

Yesterday, Gu Yu hurried to meet Chen Siqi after school, leaving him and Ye Li to run on the playground.Ye Li was injured today, so he would definitely not be able to run, and I don't know if he wants to stay in school and wait for him and Gu Yu.

If Ye Li planned to go back earlier, he would accompany Ye Li to go back first.

After talking a few words with Ma Bin, Qiu Mu saw Gu Yu approaching.Seeing that the two of them were planning to go to the first class of Ye Li, Ma Bin didn't bother him, turned around and left.

Gu Yu said, "Running?"

Qiu Mu: "Let's see what Xiaoli means."

Gu Yu nodded: "Okay."

Arriving in class one, Ye Li just finished packing his things and was about to stand up with his schoolbag.

Qiu Mu went over to help her: "Go home? Or..."

Ye Li: "I can do it."

Gu Yu said: "I haven't run for a long time, I want to go for a run today."

Ye Li and Qiu Mu looked at him, thinking how could this partner who likes to be lazy the most suddenly say such things.Gu Yu smiled embarrassedly, and added the real reason: "Siqi said that she will come to see me on the day of the sports meeting."

"..."

Ye Li knew that Qiu Mu definitely wanted to run with Gu Yu, and he would 100% not refuse at this time, so he said to Qiu Mu: "Then let's go to the playground."

Qiu Mu: "You can stay in the classroom, it's windy outside, it's boring to watch."

Ye Li said without blinking, "Oh, I want to get some fresh air, sitting in the classroom is a little boring."

Qiu Mu didn't think much, took Ye Li's arm and put it on her shoulder, and helped him leave the classroom.

After sending Ye Li to sit on the chair next to the playground, and putting the backpacks of the three on Ye Li, Qiu Mu and Gu Yu walked to the track of the playground.

It is of course a happy thing to be able to run with Gu Yu, but Ye Li, who is sitting by the side, always makes Qiu Mu feel concerned.

From time to time, I just want to look up to Ye Li's direction, to see if he has encountered any troubles, if there is anything he wants to do, but it is inconvenient to do it because of his leg injury.

A familiar figure of a girl appeared beside Ye Li.

It was Ma Bin's younger sister, the girl who had helped Ye Li several times and showed great concern for Ye Li.

If she was there, it would be fine.

Such an idea popped up in Qiu Mu's mind.

This Ma Li should like Ye Li.

I don't run, but I always sit next to the playground and watch Ye Li run. It's not that I like Ye Li. Who wouldn't feel bored watching someone foolishly circle around the playground for no reason.

Gu Yu's voice brought Qiu Mu back from thinking: "Are you still running?"

It turned out that Qiu Mu had stopped before she knew it, looked in Ye Li's direction, and stood still for a while.

Qiu Mu turned her gaze to look at Gu Yu, subconsciously showing a little smile: "Well, run."

Gu Yu said: "I heard that Ma Bin also ran 200 meters, hey, this guy is very fast."

Qiu Mu recalled seeing Ma Bin running recently, and said, "Yes."

Gu Yu: "What if he steals the limelight at that time?"

Qiu Mu smiled and said, "No way."

No matter how others are, at least there is him, who will always keep his eyes on Gu Yu, and see every performance of Gu Yu in his eyes.

Although what Gu Yu needs is not his gaze, but Chen Siqi.

"By the way, how did Xiaoli fall down?"

Because he left directly after school yesterday afternoon, and did not visit Qiu Mu's house when he got home, so Gu Yu didn't know that Ye Li was injured until this morning.

"It's raining, is the ground too slippery?"

"That's not true." Because of Gu Yu's words, I suddenly recalled that when I invited Ye Li to run yesterday, Ye Li looked at the ground and seemed to have said similar words once, Qiu Mu said: "I didn't pay attention to the road, I almost fell down , Xiaoli sprained his ankle just to protect me."

"That's it." Gu Yu said, "I think he likes to run very much. He was not happy that it had been raining for the past few days. It's a pity."

Qiu Mu said, "Really?"

"Yeah, a few days ago I heard him say something like 'you can't run when it's raining'."

After hearing this, Qiu Mu felt even more sorry for Ye Li.

After all, Gu Yu is different from Ye Li, he is not interested in running around in circles all the time, and he soon feels bored.After running around Qiu Mu for two laps, he immediately said that he wanted to stop and take a walk for a rest.

Qiu Mu didn't force it. Hearing that Gu Yu said that he would not run away, he followed him for a walk on the playground. At the end of the walk, it was a bit late, and Gu Yu said that he would not run away again, so he just went back.

In the next period of time, it was like this almost every time.

Anyway, Qiu Mu just wants to be with Gu Yu, it doesn't matter whether it is running or walking, the mood is equally happy.

Only for Ye Li, he felt guilty.

Looking at Ye Li, who was sitting next to the playground after school every day waiting for him and Gu Yu these days, Qiu Mu said, "You like running very much, I blame you for not being able to run during this period of time."

Ye Li wondered: "I don't like running very much, why would I say that?"

Qiu Mu thought he was comforting herself, but didn't take this sentence seriously: "Every time I ask you if you want to run, don't you always say yes?"

Ye Li: "Why did you refuse? I have nothing else to do anyway."

"Eh?"

But didn't Gu Yu mean that when it rained some time ago, Ye Li muttered "I can't run when it's raining"?

It was obvious that I really wanted to run, and I was very active. How could I just agree because I had nothing to do?

Ye Li didn't know that Gu Yu said such things to Qiu Mu, and he didn't expect that Gu Yu listened to his unintentional words seriously.So the expression is still very calm, a look of "that's it, I'm not lying", very convincing.

Qiu Mu said: "Then I've been running with Xiaoyu on the playground these days, why do you sit by the side and watch us every time, isn't it because you want to run?"

Ye Li: "It's all about waiting anyway, it's different where you sit. The air in the playground is fine."

Qiu Mu gave Ye Li a strange look.

Ye Li didn't know what Qiu Mu was thinking, and looked back with questioning eyes.

Qiu Mu said, "Is it because of Ma Li and the others?"

Ye Li couldn't help but let out a "Huh?": "What?"

"Because those girls are always sitting next to you these days, and they seem to be very lively." Qiu Mu: "You must have seen it already, they are interested in you, so they have been guarding the playground before Watch you run, if you don’t run or move, just watch.”

Ye Li looked at Qiu Mu, as if he was looking at a confused person who was holding a key in his hand and kept asking others where the key was.

Said: "No, how could it be because of them. I just think the playground is better than the classroom, so I would rather sit on the playground."

Qiu Mu still didn't believe it: "Liar, you must like running very much."

Ye Li: "..."
