Chapter 024: Instructor Rahu
The training in the academy is very hard during the day, but there is more free time in the evening, and the people in the camp can choose to play basketball, play cards and chess, and even drink and gamble together, but once it is 9 o'clock in the evening, they all start to rest in the dormitory.
On the first night, I fell asleep on a cold, hard iron bed, smelling the stench wafting through the window and the toilet.
At five o'clock in the morning, a shrill whistle resounded throughout the camp. The door of our dormitory was also kicked open, and the rich wolf instructor came in violently, lifted the quilts of several people in one breath, and roared: "You damn pigs, all get me up, and gather at the training ground in five minutes, otherwise I will make you regret coming to this world!"
The moment I whistled, I bounced off the bed, quickly put on my brand new military coat with the people around me, and then ran to the crowded small bathroom to wash up casually, and hurried to the training ground.
This is different from our military training, which is mainly to train in formations and follow phalanxes. As the instructor told us before, there are only two things to do here: one is to strengthen our physique, and the other is to teach us fighting and killing skills and proficiency in the use of various equipment.
So on the first day, our training content is divided into two parts, in the morning is endurance training, that is, aerobic exercise, mainly running, in the morning we need to run ten kilometers on foot, and in the afternoon is strength training, that is, anaerobic exercises, such as weighted squats, push-ups, barbell rows and other exercises.
My physical fitness is only at the middle and lower level among the 45 classes, so every time I run 10 kilometers on foot, I grit my teeth and finish it, and my results are only in the middle and lower reaches. Because of my bad grades, I couldn't move up the ranks in my class, I didn't get much food at lunchtime, and I couldn't bear it when I did strength training in the afternoon.
At the beginning of almost every strength workout, I felt like I couldn't do it anymore, I couldn't hold it anymore. But every time I fell to the ground from exhaustion, as soon as I closed my eyes, I seemed to see my father standing in front of me, facing my big and warm hands deep in my heart, and said to me distressedly: "Ugly, can you stand up?"
"Yes!"
I screamed to myself every time, then I opened my eyes and struggled again with tears in my eyes and continued to train.
Just treat every day as the most difficult day in my life, and try my best to resist the past every day.
In this way, unconsciously, I actually stayed up for two months, although the ranking was still No. 9 in the forty-fifth class, but after all, I was not eliminated. And three of the guys didn't make it through in the end because they were at the bottom of the training every day, getting less and less food, and training more and more. In the end, the three guys were tired or sick one by one, and were carried away, and their lives were uncertain.
During these days, Liu Lianzhu didn't come to trouble me again, maybe he didn't want to play tricks with me, he wanted to compare me with integrity. Sometimes, when our class was training, he and his companions passed by, and when he saw me gritting his teeth, he shook his head, obviously thinking that I couldn't do it.
On the contrary, the contradiction between me and Lei Jiaxing in our class and me is getting deeper and deeper, because he is the chief and enjoys a lot of privileges, so he changes his tricks to suppress me. And I secretly regarded him as an opponent, and wanted to surpass him to become the leader of our forty-fifth class.
On November 4th, three years ago today, my father adopted me from the orphanage back to the Chen family, named me Chen Cheng, and regarded this day as my birthday.
Except for the chief Lei Jiaxing, who can't get along with me, everyone else has a good relationship with me. They accidentally found out from the instructor's registration book that today was my birthday, so when everyone was doing running training this morning, they secretly told me that today was my birthday, and everyone would try to celebrate it for me.
There is a lack of material in the academy, and after thinking about it, some people suggest this: because I am very difficult to complete the task every time I train, and now I am almost the last to eat, and sometimes I can't eat enough for several days. So today each of them will eat less, only half full, and make an appointment to leave the good food for me, which is considered to be my birthday.
Of course, these companions who decided to celebrate my birthday did not include Lei Jiaxing, who had a very stiff relationship with me, and after that guy heard everyone's private decision, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
In the afternoon, it was strength training, and I was the last to complete the task, so I was still the last in the class to eat.
When the time finally came to dinner, it was still the chief Lei Jiaxing who ate first, this guy knew that all the people would leave me food today, so he glanced at us with a sneer, and didn't take a bowl of rice, just picked up a plate of dishes and ate it. The three meat dishes of roasted pork ribs with potatoes, tamales, and fish in sour soup were quickly eaten up by him, and then he set his sights on the only remaining plate of poached eggs......
The faces of the brothers in class forty-five all changed when they saw this, because although the chief had the right to eat first, no one had ever dared to go so far as Lei Jiaxing. No.2 Thai guy couldn't help but say with a dark face: "Lei Jiaxing, you know that today is Chen Cheng's birthday, and everyone agreed to leave the dishes for him to eat, don't go too far!"
Lei Jiaxing stopped when he heard this, raised his head and pretended to look at everyone blankly: "Today is Chen Cheng's birthday, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to me, and then looked down at the only poached omelette left on the plate on the table, he raised his eyebrows and said to me: "But it doesn't matter, there is still a poached egg, we Chinese people are used to eating eggs on birthdays, and everyone should not eat the remaining poached eggs, this is what I left for Chen Cheng." ”
They were slightly relieved when they heard this, and everyone thought that Lei Jiaxing had found out his conscience and decided to leave the last poached egg to me.
But at this time, Lei Jiaxing reached out and directly grabbed the only poached egg left in the plate, and then smiled in front of me, stretched out his big tongue, and licked it deeply on the poached egg with great disgust, and finally threw the poached egg stained with his saliva back into the plate with a bang, and smiled proudly at me: "This poached egg is my birthday gift to you, taste it well, don't be polite to me, hahaha......"
After Lei Jiaxing finished speaking, he walked away arrogantly, and each of them was a little indignant, feeling that Lei Jiaxing was too humiliating to rely on him as the chief soldier of class forty-five. They also comforted me one by one and said that there are still ten days of endurance and strength training to be preliminarily over, and then there will be a fighting competition, re-ranking everyone's numbers, and everyone will work hard to defeat Lei Jiaxing and strive to become the chief!
At 9 o'clock in the evening, it was the time when the academy asked me to start the routine, and I couldn't sleep as I lay in bed. It's been two months since I came to the Purgatory Academy, and I can't even be the head of a garbage class, let alone the head of the entire academy. I secretly thought I wasn't trying hard enough, I had to work harder.
Everyone is training the same during the day, and I'm improving at the same time as others are improving, so I should never try to surpass others if I go on like this. I looked out the window at the dark night and thought to myself that it would be a waste of time to sleep at night, and that I had to spare half of my sleep time to train so that I could overtake them.
You are not allowed to move around at night in the academy, and if you mistakenly think that you are fleeing the camp, you may be shot by the soldiers on duty.
But I got out of the way, got up and slipped out of the camp, found a fence that was easier to climb out, climbed over the wall, and walked deeper into the darkness of the forest.
I thought I was clean and neat in this series of movements, but I didn't know that on the watchtower not far away, a sentry had already spotted me for the first time, and even the sniper rifle in his hand had been aimed at my vest. Just as he was about to pull the trigger and kill me, a big man with a shiny shaved head next to him grabbed the sentry's gun with one hand, and a pair of triangular snake eyes looked at the sentry with a little drunkenness, like a rattlesnake staring at its prey.
The sentry seemed to be very afraid of this bald man who looked ugly and had a fight with poisonous snakes, and said in a trembling voice: "Instructor Rahu, someone has escaped from the camp......
It turned out that this terrifying-looking bald man was the most terrifying and violent instructor in the entire camp.
Rahu is not his name, but his name. In Sanskrit mythology and legend, Rahu is a very vicious demon. In the eyes of all the soldiers and instructors in the entire academy, the Rahu instructor in front of him is the most terrible devil in the world.
Instructor Rahu picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of wine, his snake-like eyes looked in the direction where my figure had just disappeared, and grinned and showed two rows of miserable white teeth: "On the night when I am on duty in Rahu, who still dares to escape from the camp? This person is handed over to me, let him escape for a while, and then I will go into the dense forest to find him and kill him like a dog!"
The sentry swallowed hard when he heard this, because he knew that Instructor Rahu was cruel to his death, and he was also a top fighter in stalking and hunting. The sentries could already foresee that the newcomers who had escaped from the camp tonight would be caught by Instructor Rahu and then tortured in the valley.
I didn't expect to slip out of the camp so smoothly, running for two or three kilometers in one go, and finally stopping in front of an old pine tree that hugged each other.
I was pressed for time, and after a moment of respite, I took off my shirt and showed my upper body, which had become a little stronger, in the moonlight. I moved my neck, hands and feet, and then took the large tree trunk in front of me as an enemy, and slammed my right hand into the old pine tree. There was a muffled sound, and the pine tree trembled slightly, but I smashed my fist on the pine tree, and the hard and sharp pine bark directly scratched the skin on my fist, and instantly blood was dripping, and there was a cone-like pain on the back of my fist.
I gritted my teeth, ignored the small wound on the back of my fist, and continued to smash several punches in a row on the old pine tree, practicing my fist.
It's been more than two months since our group of newcomers came to the Purgatory Academy, but these days, the instructors are working on our physique. With aerobic training in the morning and anaerobic training in the afternoon, all of us were much stronger, but as for the martial arts instructors, they didn't teach us at all.
Therefore, I want to practice as much as possible in private, so that I can have the opportunity to stand out in the first class fighting competition in ten days, and strive to become the leader of the 45th class!
I don't know how to do it, and when I practiced boxing, I also had a few very simple combination punches, almost stupidly smashing my fists on the hard pine trunk, and after practicing for less than ten minutes, the backs of my hands were all broken and bleeding. I endured the pain and practiced for another half hour, and the backs of my fists were bruised and swollen, and I punched the pine tree, and the whole fist felt like it was about to break......
In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, and I saw a clear mountain stream not far away, so I walked over and put my fleshy hands into the cool stream to relieve the pain, and then continued to stand up and practice boxing against the trunk of the big tree. When he couldn't stand it anymore, he put his hands into the cold stream to relieve it, and then continued to practice boxing, and so on again and again......
In the end, after three hours of practice, the back of my fists was already like mud blown up by a grenade, all the flesh and blood were already blurred, and the bark of the tree where I punched on the trunk of the big tree had fallen off, but it was also stained with a layer of shocking blood.
I clung to the trees and slowly softened, gasping for air. What I didn't know was that at this moment, in the darkness more than ten meters behind me, Instructor Rahu was squinting at me, he had been watching me practice boxing in the dark for three hours, and finally saw that I had no strength to fall, so he quietly turned around and left.
The sentry of the camp vigil saw that Instructor Rahu had returned covered in dew, and hurriedly stood up straight and saluted Rahu with a snap.
Luo Hu walked over expressionlessly, but before he took two steps, he stopped again, and turned back to explain to the sentry: "The newcomer who went out tonight, he will come back later, it is estimated that he may sneak out every night in the future." Tell all the night watchmen in the camp that when you see that kid sneaking out at night, you pretend you don't see anything!"
"Ah...... Yes, got it!"
The sentry looked at Rahu dumbfounded, and couldn't help but think in his heart, didn't that newcomer run away, how could he come back? And when did the devilish and terrible and cruel Rahu instructor start to take such care of a newcomer?
