The Heart of a Smith

Chapter 22

The departure time is set at the beginning of next month, and it is less than three or four days.

Lu Shang originally wanted Uncle Yuan to prepare some supplies to bring over, but Yue Pengfei told him that the training camp was completely closed management, and even cellphones could not be brought, let alone clothes and food.

Since he agreed at the beginning, Lu Shang couldn't say anything. Fortunately, it was midsummer, so he didn't have to worry about freezing, so he only received a small box with some medical supplies and mosquito repellents in it.

The night before he left, Li Sui couldn't read the book, so he took a shower early, surrounded Lu Shang and refused to leave.

Lu Shang held the word book in one hand, unexpectedly did not blame him, but took him to the study on the second floor.

It is said that this is the place where Lu Shang's father passed away. Few people have come in. Lu Shang opened the drawer under the bookcase, took out a piece of pendant-like thing, weighed it, and handed it to him: "Take it."

"what is this?"

"Folding saber."

Li Sui held it in his hand. This thing was very delicate and small. It looked like a military card. There was an extremely hidden opening on the side. When he opened it, the blade was unusually sharp. , at first glance, it is not ordinary: "Isn't it impossible to bring anything?"

Lu Shang pulled out another rope, put the knife on, and hung it on him: "Take it and protect yourself." Li Sui was a bit taller than him. The two stood face to face, and Lu Shang had to look up at him. .

"Did you send it to me?" Li Sui held the saber, and his beautiful eyes were bent.

Lu Shang avoided his eyes: "The task is completed, it's yours."

When he mentioned this Li Sui, he had a headache. Yue Pengfei was not at ease. He entrusted his two children to Li Sui to take care of them. How much older than the big and small Sima, what can he do with them that his own father can't control.

"Seriously, do I have to go with these two oil bottles?" Li Sui said in frustration.

"You only need to ensure that their limbs are healthy," Lu Shangdao said. "For other things, do what you can. If you encounter danger, you must ensure your own safety first."

This warning was far from Yue Pengfei's request. While Li Sui was sweet, he also wanted to laugh. Lu Shang protected the calf so clearly. I wonder if Yue Pengfei would faint from anger when he heard these words.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Shang reacted and couldn't help laughing, "Go boldly, I'll take care of you when the sky is falling."

The training camp is located on a deep mountain more than 100 kilometers away from the city, and further inside is the protected forest area. Because it is located in a remote area, there is no mobile phone signal, so you can only use satellite calls.

Lu Shang did not come in person, but arranged for Uncle Yuan to send him down the mountain. When he got off the bus, Li Sui paused, and suddenly felt a strong sense of reluctance. It felt like a child who left home for school on the first day. Even though he was reluctant, Li Sui still tried his best to suppress this emotion, picked up the small box and walked up the mountain by himself. As a man, since he promised Lu Shang, he would do it no matter what.

Going up the mountain is a plank road, surrounded by mountains and forests, and the environment is quite quiet, but the forest here is too primitive, and it grows densely on the side of the road, resulting in poor light on the road. When Li Sui went up the mountain, he couldn't help but think that the level of development here is so low that it is difficult for people to walk, not to mention the car. If someone goes the wrong way and strays into the forest, it is really difficult to even rescue them.

"In front is the training base, over there is the virgin forest, there are protective nets around, don't run around if you have nothing to do, that blue house is for eating, every morning at seven o'clock, noon, six o'clock in the afternoon, the meals are served on time. Don't wait," the instructor guided him to visit all the way, and finally went to a small attic, "This is the dormitory, 203, you sleep in this room."

The dormitory was a four-person room. Li Sui opened the door. There was already a person lying on the bed by the window. He was watching a movie with his tablet. When he saw him, he immediately raised his head and said hello. That face was still familiar to Zhang.

"Why are you here?" Li Sui asked, his eyes moving to the tablet again, "Didn't you say you can't bring electronic products?"

Sima Jingrong patted the bed to let him sit, and took a can of soda from the bottom of the bed and handed it to him, "They only said we couldn't bring it, but they didn't say that people outside couldn't give it to us."

Li Sui: "…"

"But it's not very useful if you bring it with you," Sima Jingrong waved his hand. "There's no internet here, so I can only watch movies and play single-player games. It's boring."

Between the two of them talking, two more people came in at the door, each carrying a water bottle one after another. The one walking in front was a thin and small young man who seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. His face was somewhat similar to Sima Jingrong, but Whiter and more delicate, Li Sui guessed that this should be Sima Yan, the youngest son of the Sima family.

When Sima Jingrong saw him, he immediately turned his face away in displeasure, and hummed in disdain. The young man was very polite, his eyes swept across Sima Jingrong, and he nodded slightly towards Li Sui. This younger brother was obviously more sensible than his elder brother. No wonder his father was biased.

"Hello, my name is Wang Wei."

Only then did Li Sui notice that there was another person by the door, with a round face and thick glasses, who was smiling at Li Sui.

"My name is Li Sui."

Wang Wei stretched his neck: "Huh?"

Li Sui said patiently, "My name is Li Sui, Li of the dawn, deep Sui."

"Oh," Wang Wei nodded, pointing to the empty water bottle on the ground and said, "The two of you have to make a pot of hot water, otherwise there will be no water to take a bath at night, and there is no shower here."

Li Sui nodded, putting down the things and going to open the water bottle.

"I'm sorry, I forgot," Wang Wei stopped him and raised his glasses embarrassedly, "What was your name just now?"

Li Sui: "…"

Before he came, Li Sui had made plans. This month, he must have a good relationship with his roommate, train hard to satisfy the instructor, and wait for Lu Shang to pick him up in a month. , his plans were disrupted.

At first, Wang Wei's voice was too loud, and Sima Jingrong was irritated. Sima Jingrong scolded him, but Sima Yan couldn't see it.

Clothes and pillows were thrown all over the house, and even Sima Jingrong's tablet was smashed. Wang Wei seemed to have poor hearing. He was dumbfounded as he watched the two fight. He didn't even have the sense to persuade him. The individual pulled away, and he was punched in the middle, and it was unknown who hit him. This movement alarmed the instructors downstairs, and soon, everyone in the room would not want to sleep, and they all went to the woods to stand.

The night in the old forest of Moriyama is completely different from that in the city. There are no lights, and the surroundings are as dark as the air is stained with ink. The weather was not good, and there was no moon. All I could hear was the rustling of the wind blowing the leaves, as if someone was walking back and forth behind me, but when I turned to look, there was nothing nearby.

A few terrifying wolf howls could be heard in the distance from time to time, which made people goosebumps. It was the first time that several children had left home to this uninhabited place. Move it. Sima Jingrong was homesick at first, but when he was punished, he cried out of nowhere.

"You still cry when you are so old." Sima Yan sneered.

Sima Jingrong immediately stopped crying, and instead scolded: "You did it on purpose, you just want to make it difficult for me, right?"

"What happened on purpose, who asked you to do it first."

"Do you believe I'll take care of you?"

Li Sui's head was getting bigger. He thought that Lu Shang was thinking too much. He couldn't help but get angry and shouted, "Shut up!"

The two of them didn't speak out, Li Sui said again: "In the future, internal conflicts will be resolved internally, and it will be difficult for anyone to have a trouble with it. Next time, whoever picks the matter first will take responsibility for himself, and we will not accompany you."

A gust of wind blew through the woods at the right time. After saying this, several people did not say a word.

In such a dark environment, at first, I could use my imagination to scare myself, but later people became numb, the upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and I had no energy to think about anything except sleep.

I don't know how long it took, when Li Sui felt that his legs were almost paralyzed, the instructor blew his whistle upstairs. He let out a long breath and patted Sima Jingrong on the shoulder: "Let's go, go back to sleep."

A few people had long been standing, dragging their legs towards the dormitory like a zombie. After walking out for a while, they realized that Wang Wei hadn't followed, and hurriedly ran back to take a look, and found that he was standing there with his eyes closed. So asleep.

"… "

In the evening, Lu Shang was approving the documents at the desk, and Uncle Yuan closed the door: "The sentence has been reduced, and he will be out in six years."

Lu Shang nodded: "It's hard work."

"Aren't you going to tell him about this?"

Lu Shang's hand holding the pen paused and said, "It's not the time yet."

After speaking, he thought of something again, "How is he over there, are you still getting used to it?"

"I heard that the person who arranged to go in said it was not bad, and it was very harmonious with the people in the dormitory."

The corner of Lu Shang's mouth curved: "That's good."

At the same time, the four people who "get along very harmoniously" tossed and turned on the bed in the dormitory, all looking like they were unlovable. There were too many mosquitoes here, and they were very poisonous. When I got to the dormitory, I found that my arms and legs were full of pimples, itchy and red, and it was unbearable.

Fortunately, Lu Shang had the foresight and brought him the most practical things. Li Sui took out the anti-itching and disinfectant spray from the small medicine box, sprayed it all over his body, and handed it to Wang Wei. So he gave it to Sima Yan directly.

Sima Yan is the one who attracts the most mosquitoes. He is the youngest and his skin is tender and white. A little redness and swelling are exaggerated. It took almost half of a bottle of spray to stop the itching.

After finally finishing it, he threw the bottle onto Sima Jingrong's bed, but the latter didn't pick it up, turned over and went straight to sleep.

If this were normal, Li Sui might have persuaded him a few more words, but today he was too tired to take care of so much. He climbed onto the bed and lay down. Under the thin quilt, he felt the folding knife in front of his chest and held it tightly in his hand. Inside, imagining the person's cold body temperature, the heart that had been floating for a day seemed to be on the shore, and finally settled down.

In the morning, before dawn, fierce whistles rang out in the camp, one after another, as if urging life, Li Sui thought that something urgent was happening outside, so he got up in a hurry.

"Quick, the assembly whistle!" Wang Wei jumped off the top bunk with a rollover, and rushed into the bathroom to grab the faucet. Li Sui woke up Sima and went to the sink to rinse his mouth with a water cup. He glanced at Wang Wei in the mirror, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, isn't this person bad hearing? sound like.

Wang Wei moved very fast. He brushed his teeth and washed his face in one go. He even changed his clothes last night.

The whistle outside the house became more and more urgent, and there were footsteps pouring out of the crowd in the next dormitory. Li Sui couldn't help but quicken his movements. When he came out of the bathroom, Sima Jingrong was still lying on the bed and didn't get up.

"Get up!" Li Sui rushed over and pulled him.

Sima Jingrong irritably threw him away and buried his head directly in the quilt. Li Sui hated that iron was not steel, and raised his hand to lift his quilt.

"What are you doing? It's not dawn yet."

"We're gathering! Hurry up!"

Only then did Sima Jingrong slowly come to his senses. The whistles outside changed from long to short, and finally ended with a high-pitched cry. Wang Wei rushed out, dragged Li Sui and ran: "I'm late, don't care about them, let's go."

After going downstairs, Li Sui realized that there were quite a few people participating in the training camp this time, about forty people, and even two girls. They were not very old, and most of them were children from wealthy families.

The sky was still gray, and Li Sui and Wang Wei were late, so they had to stand beside the team.

"I was late for the meeting on the first day." The instructor was displeased, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, stopped when he passed a short boy, and pointed to the necklace around his neck, "What is this, Jin Chains? Are you here for a beauty pageant?"

There was a burst of laughter all around.

"Laugh? Did I make you laugh?!" the instructor roared.

The crowd was silent, and the instructor glanced at the crowd and ordered, "Give me all your stinky things! Let me see them again, and I will throw one away when I see it!"

The rustling voice sounded beside Li Sui, and even Wang Wei took off the watch from his hand. Li Sui frowned slightly, and secretly pressed the folding knife on his chest in an invisible place.

The things he took down were put into the basket one by one. When it was Li Sui's turn, he didn't move. He even thought in his heart that if he wanted to take it away, he would make a rationale, but the instructor only looked at him. With a glance, he asked, "Are there two people in your dormitory?"

During the questioning time, Sima Yan ran over, wearing the wrong socks, and many people in the team were snickering.

"Deputy team, time." The instructor said coldly, turned to leave, and Li Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The deputy team was the man Li Sui showed him when he came. His surname was Li, he didn't talk much, and he was very serious. Hearing that, he lowered his head and pressed the chronograph in his hand, and the three people in the dormitory suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Why do everyone else look like they were prepared?" Li Sui glanced at the team and asked Wang Wei secretly with a gesture.

Wang Wei pushed up his glasses: "We gather at 5:30 every day. Those who are late will be severely punished. They must have set their alarm clocks in advance."

"Meet at half past five?" Sima Yan looked confused.

"The instructor informed you yesterday," Wang Wei froze for a moment, "Didn't I tell you?"

Li Sui: "…"

Sima Yan: "..."

The blue-gray color on the horizon gradually receded, and a faint sunlight shone through the woods, and some people in the team soon became impatient and murmured softly. When the instructor's face turned black, Sima Jingrong swayed. The two legs came out of the dormitory building, and as soon as they approached, they smelled a strong fragrance, and this fellow even sprayed hairspray.

"Very good," the instructor turned pale with anger, turned his head and asked, "How long are you late?"

"Twenty-eight minutes and forty-seven seconds."

The instructor laughed in anger and gave an order: "Players in the team, run ten laps around the playground, and then go to breakfast after running."

The team immediately burst into wailing, and the instructor turned his head and said, "You four, did you see that waterfall over there?"

Li Sui looked in his direction. There was indeed a small waterfall in the shady mountain stream. It was about ten meters high. It was neither big nor small.

"There is a watermelon planted on it. You can find a way to pick one. If you can't pick it, you won't have to eat today." After saying this, the instructor fluttered away with his hands behind his back.

"Watermelon?" As soon as Sima Jingrong opened his mouth, the other three seemed to have met their enemies, and Sima Yan was particularly upset: "Can you be earlier next time, it's not a beauty pageant, what hairspray are you spraying, who are you trying to seduce?"

"I..." Sima Jingrong was about to reply, but Li Sui covered his mouth with a slap, and said, "Go and have a look."

The amount of water in the waterfall is not large. There is a pool below, which is quite dark in color. There are many green vines growing near the rock section, and the thumb is thick.

"We have to swim over and climb up the vines." Wang Weidao.

They were all men, so there was nothing to worry about. Wang Wei took off his clothes first, stepped into the water wearing only his underwear, turned his head and said, "It's not deep, I can step on it to the end."

Sima Jingrong seemed a little hesitant: "Is there nothing in this water, snakes, giant dragons or something."

"Then you can stay on it, wait until I catch the giant dragon and send you one." Sima Yan sneered, pressed his legs, and plunged into the water in a beautiful posture.

This aggressive method was almost in the middle of the red heart. Not to be outdone, Sima Jingrong took off his clothes and made a more exaggerated gesture to jump into the water, splashing a splash of water.

Li Sui stood on the shore, his palms clenched tightly.

"Li Sui?" Wang Wei asked suspiciously. As soon as he opened his mouth, the other two also turned their heads to stare at him.

Li Sui hesitated for a while, but slowly took off his vest. Under the morning light, the scars on his body were immediately exposed in front of him. Burns, cigarette butts, scratches... There was even a suspected gunshot wound on his back.

A few people were pampered and raised, and they usually screamed for a long time when they cut a finger. Where have they seen such terrifying scars, or on their teammates, they are all shocked. Sima Jingrong's face was particularly pale, and after a while he turned to anger: "Has he abused you?"

Li Sui went down into the water, and it took him a long time to realize that the "he" in his mouth was referring to Lu Shang, so he gave him a neurotic look.

It's a pity that this look in Sima Jingrong's eyes turned into a pain that can't be said, and he couldn't help clenching his hands into fists, gritted his teeth and said with indignation: "I didn't expect him to be such a person!"

Li Sui didn't know that Sima Jingrong had already made up a big drama of sexual abuse by himself, what handsome young man was tortured to the death and ended up being banned, and what kind of high-spirited style would rather be tortured and refuse to give in... Look at this outfit Hurt, Lu Shang is definitely not good to him. If he is good to him, why would he send him to suffer in such a place? Just like his father, I didn't expect Lu Shang to look handsome, but inside he is a sanctimonious sadist !

"Brother will cover you in the future." Sima Jingrong seemed to have found a confidant, and patted his shoulder with red eyes, with an expression on his face, "My buddy understands you and my buddy loves you".

Li Sui pulled out his hand and said coldly, "If you are ill, you need to treat it early."
