Chapter 6(1)
Chapter6
In the afternoon, when the men's group hall was selected, Mrs. Yu, who lived in a simple place, actually made a cameo appearance as a referee, and she was wearing a Taoist uniform like a fairy, which made the disciples watching the battle a little distracted from time to time.
Finally, in the evening, the results of the men's group were also decided, and as everyone expected, Ruobai and Yifeng defeated the other disciples respectively and qualified to represent the Songbai Gym in this year's Gym Challenge. The disciples were a little excited, because in the final battle of Ruobai's victory over Yifeng, anyone could clearly see the progress of the two senior brothers in terms of skill!
In the last competition, because of bad luck, I was in the same group as many strong gyms in the preliminaries, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enter the semi-finals. And now it seems that the kung fu of the two senior brothers has improved by leaps and bounds, as long as the luck can be a little better, it should not be a big problem to enter the semi-finals this year!
However, the excitement of the disciples of the Songbai Daoist Hall did not last long, and they began to be depressed and depressed again. The Gym Challenge is that each gym sends three disciples to fight, and Senior Sister Chu Wei quit on the spot, not to mention, Senior Sister Xiuqin will be defeated by that Baicao......
Obviously, Senior Sister Xiuqin should win!
No matter how you look at that game, it should be Sister Xiuqin who wins!
But—
It was actually Qi Baicao who won.
Do you really want to let Baicao represent the Songbai Gym to participate in this year's Gym Challenge? Thinking of Baicao's desperate Saburo style of play that only attacks and doesn't know how to defend at all, the disciples of the Songbai Gym can't help but have black lines on their faces, if they send such a person to the game, I'm afraid that in the eyes of other gyms, Songbai is not a second-rate gym, but the least popular gym.
And her defeat of Senior Sister Xiuqin is not so convincing! If Senior Sister Xiuqin hadn't turned around at that time, she wouldn't have been able to kick Senior Sister Xiuqin at all!
The evening glow reflected the sky outside the practice hall.
Ruobai announced the end of today's gym trials, and after tomorrow's morning exercise, the list of disciples who will represent Songbai Daoguan to participate in the city's gym challenge this year will be officially announced. After speaking, he turned around and left, and the brothers and sisters of Ting Hao Tingyi, who had watched the battle for a day, also walked out of the practice hall, and then Yifeng, Xiuqin and others also left one by one.
Baicao sat cross-legged on the mat in silence.
She planned to clean up the practice hall after everyone was all gone, and then go to eat. With only two weeks to go, she had little time to practice, and she had to hurry up every second.
The match between her and Xiuqin was a fluke.
If she wants to stop stumbling through the Gym Challenge in two weeks' time, she'll have to improve quickly. However, how to improve and grow, Master used to say that she was too inexperienced in competitions, is that what she is referring to? Master, Master should have a way, thinking of this, she suddenly hated to run to Master immediately, and asked Master what she should do, even if she didn't eat or sleep and practiced all day long, she didn't want to be as ugly as she was today.
People kept walking past her.
She could feel the unkind gaze that fell on her, and she couldn't be more familiar with this gaze in the days of the Quansheng Gym.
"Qi Baicao, don't you feel ashamed?"
A figure stood in front of her, his voice was full of anger and injustice, and the disciples who had not yet left the practice hall looked at her together, and Baicao raised his head and saw that it was Xiuda who was blushing and glaring at her.
"What do you say?"
Xiaoying glared at Xiuda, although she understood that Xiuda was unhappy that Senior Sister Xiuqin was defeated by Baicao, but if she lost, she lost, Senior Sister Xiuqin didn't say anything, he yelled something.
"Don't you understand what I say? I'm saying, she's ashamed to know if she knows herself! Xiuda yelled at Xiaoying in annoyance, and shouted at Baicao again, "Didn't you hear me talking to you?" Don't you even have the politeness to stand up and talk to me? If you win a game with that kind of despicable method, you are so proud that you look down on people? ”
Momokusa slowly stood up.
She is the same age as Xiuda, but she is half a head taller than Xiuda, standing at such a close distance, Xiuda needs to look at her half-up, and the annoyance in her heart can't help but win a few points, and she can't help but want to stab her and vent her evil anger for her sister.
"Qi Baicao, don't you really know that you are ashamed? Do you have any shame! Xiuda glared at her angrily, "Even if you win, everyone will look down on you, and your so-called victory will only make people spurn!" ”
Lose face?
Although she won a fluke, she tried her best to knock down Xiuqin's seniors with only her intuitive legs, but no matter what, she would not be deducted with words like "shame" and "shame". Baicao endured the anger in his heart and said:
"I have nothing to be ashamed of."
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the disciples in the practice hall were suddenly full of contempt, and even a cold snort came, Xiuda was so angry that she almost choked, and shouted to her angrily:
"You attacked my sister! Before she could turn her head around while she was distracted, you actually attacked her! With such a disgraceful sneak attack to win, you actually say that there is nothing to be ashamed of? ”
Baicao was stunned when he heard this.
When that kick out, wasn't Xiuqin's predecessor ready to fight? But it was clear that she only attacked after the command to continue the game was given, and she tried to remember, yes, she clearly remembered that she heard the order for Ruobai to continue the game. As for whether Xiuqin's seniors were distracted, she didn't know, because the excessive consumption of her body at that time made her only dimly see the shadow of Xiuqin's seniors, where could she still see her expressions and movements.
"Xiuda, you're too much!" Xiaoying really couldn't listen to it, "You haven't attacked Baicao yourself, why are you yelling at Baicao here!" ”
"Yes! I snuck up on her! But I also received the punishment, and I apologized to her! And what about her? Xiuda's eyes seemed to be able to spew fire, "Qi Baicao, I want you to apologize to my sister!" I want you to admit that you attacked my sister! That victory should have belonged to my sister, not you! ”
"I didn't sneak up on her."
Clenched his fists, Baicao said firmly.
"What did you say?"
Xiuda couldn't believe what she heard, and Xiaoying also tilted her head slightly and looked at Baicao in surprise.
"I said, I didn't sneak up on her, I ......," she said, taking a breath, and then adding, "...... I was so consumed that I couldn't see her state clearly, and I didn't know she was distracted, so I wasn't sneak attacking. ”
Xiuda's eyes widened, he laughed angrily, and said in a cold voice:
"Qi Baicao, what kind of master people say brings out what kind of disciples, I didn't think it was necessarily necessary, but you are really exactly the same as your master! As long as you can win, right? No matter what shady means are used, no matter how humiliating it is, as long as you can win?! ”
"Boom"!
It was as if something had exploded in her chest, and hot blood rushed to her throat, and she glared at Xiuda angrily and said:
"You-"
"Xiuda!"
I don't know when Xiuqin turned back again, as if she didn't see Baicao stiffened because of the mention of Master, and dragged Xiuda out of the practice hall in anger, and said coldly:
"Hurry up, where did you get so much nonsense!"
The sun is setting in the evening.
After a whole day of competition, the practice hall was empty and only Baicao was left alone, Xiaoying was still with her to wipe the mat at first, but it didn't take long for the two little disciples to call out. The practice hall was completely cleaned up, and it was already dark, so Baicao closed the paper doors one by one, and walked silently on the way back to the house.
From time to time, there were disciples on the road.
Everyone didn't seem to see her, and only when she walked by did they turn their heads to glance at her, and then whisper a few words to each other in some voice that was either mocking or disdainful or cold.
"Baicao, don't pay too much attention to them."
Looking at Baicao, who was eating silently, Xiaoying hesitated and said:
"Actually, since you kicked Kim Min-joo that time, which made the Songbai Daoist Hall raise its eyebrows in front of the Changhai Daoguan, everyone has begun to like you and accept you. It's just that everyone attaches too much importance to the Gym Challenge, and they are worried that if you replace Senior Sister Xiuqin, it will make Songbai's strength weaker, and they are afraid that if the pressure on Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Yifeng is too great, they will ......."
Baicao's fingers froze.
Is that so? For her to compete, instead of Chu Wei or Xiuqin, the strength of the Songbai Daoist Hall will be greatly reduced. Is that why she is hated by everyone? Since it was decided that the contestants could only be selected from Chu Wei and Xiuqin, why did they have to conduct any in-hall selection competitions? Since there is an in-hall selection competition, isn't it to give everyone a chance to compete fairly?
"Moreover, they may have misunderstood you," Xiaoying scratched her head, "They think that you attacked Senior Sister Xiuqin, and you didn't win enough to be upright......"
"I didn't sneak up on her."
Clenching the bowl in his hand, Baicao stared at the rice grains in the bowl.
"Yes, I know." Xiaoying said depressedly, "But in their opinion, they will think that it was you who attacked Senior Sister Xiuqin, but they refused to admit it." However, alas, it's no wonder they will misunderstand, at that time, Senior Sister Xiuqin was obviously turning her head to look at the courtyard, and your eyes widened ......"
"So," Baicao put down the bowl in his hand, his heart was breathless, "you also think I deliberately sneaked attack?" ”
Xiao Ying was stunned.
After thinking about it, he frowned again and said:
"Baicao, to be honest, if you look at it from your eyes alone, that scene really looks like you deliberately attacked Senior Sister Xiuqin when she was distracted. However, you are a person who will never lie, and if you say that there is no sneak attack, then there must be no sneak attack. ”
Baicao bit her lip.
A burst of tears suddenly welled up in her stuffy chest, she didn't want Xiao Ying to discover her sudden vulnerability, so she stood up abruptly and said:
"I'm going to practice."
"Baicao, please don't be angry with them, okay?" Xiao Ying's begging voice came from behind him, "I have lived with them since I was a child, they are all very good people, and misunderstanding you is also temporary." Over time, they will understand what kind of person you really are, so don't be angry with them, okay? ”
"yes, okay."
She was silent for a moment, then answered. Coming out of the house, looking up and seeing the stars in the night sky, what right did she have to be angry with others, it was she herself who beat the game so ugly. Xiaoying would say this, in fact, she was comforting her, afraid that she would be too sad.
Walk into the practice hall.
There was no one in the house, and when the switch was pressed, it was pitch black and there was no light. In the faint starlight, she went to check the fuse, and found that the fuse had been cut, and the maintenance tool that had been placed next to the fuse box had been taken by someone else.
She walked out in silence.
Let's go wash the clothes first, after a whole day of competition today, everyone's uniforms must be so wet with sweat that they need to be washed well. When she walked to the laundry room, there was not a single piece of clothes or gowns to be washed, and several pots she used were also trampled on by unknown people.
She froze for a few seconds.
As she was ready to go back to the house to find a set of tools to fix the fuse, the Gym Challenge was only two weeks away, and every night of practice time was precious to her.
However, as she walked, she did not walk back to her room, but walked to that quiet place. Starlight sprinkled from the branches and leaves of the big banyan tree, faint and bright light, the rustle of leaves, here, it seems that no matter how chaotic the heart can gradually calm down.
Sit on a tree.
She clenched her knees and tucked herself tightly into the thick foliage. Do you really not understand why she won, but instead of being recognized by everyone, she is hostile to everyone? If Xiuqin hadn't been distracted at that time, if she hadn't happened to attack at that time, then she should have lost.
If she loses.
It was Xiuqin who emerged victorious.
Then the Songbai Gym at this moment will be in a state of joy that everyone is looking forward to.
The victory she worked so hard to win was so unforgivable and unacceptable to the Songbai Gym. Perhaps, she was born to be an unacceptable person, whether it was in the Quansheng Gym, in the Songbai Gym, or anywhere else.
"Tuk!" "Tuk!" "Tuk!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of banging on the trunk of a tree under the tree.
Baicao didn't move, and the people under the tree sighed slightly.
"Are you sad?"
The tranquil sound of starlight resounded softly in the night sky.
She still didn't move, buried her head quietly, and the moment she heard his voice, she knew she was deceiving herself. She didn't want to hide herself in the trees, she came here to see the lights in his cabin from afar, to see him from afar. I don't know when she liked his breath, which was as clean as the smell of disinfectant water.
The leaves rustle.
She buried her head deep in her knees like an ostrich, and felt him sit down next to her. They sat on the same branch, bearing the strength of two people, and the branch trembled slightly, as if it would break at any moment.
He didn't speak.
Quietly accompany her among the leaves.
She didn't speak either.
Feeling his body temperature mixed with the smell of disinfectant that seemed to be absent, she suddenly felt a little tired and wanted to sleep, and the branches under her trembled gently, like a gentle cradle. She didn't want to think about it so much, no matter how hard it was for her to win, no matter how unconvinced everyone was, whether everyone accepted and recognized her or not, since she had won, she had to improve herself as much as possible in the past two weeks.
If she can do well in the Gym Challenge.
Maybe......
People will approve of her.
"Hey, Brother Hatsuhara, why are you here?"
The voice was quiet and a little surprised, looking at Baicao and Chu Yuan sitting on the same tree, Tingyi's raised face was reflected very gently by the starlight sifting between the leaves. Her eyes were also as gentle as stars, and she smiled and said to Hatsuhara: "It turns out that you are still like when you were a child, no matter who you see injured, even if it is a kitten or a puppy, you have to help treat it, no wonder you have to study medicine." ”
Baicao slowly lifted his head from his knees.
Tingyi's gaze fell on her lightly for a few seconds, and then looked at Chu Yuan with a soft smile, and said, "But you don't have to worry about Baicao, she should be a strong girl to win the morning competition in the end." ”
******
Before the morning exercise began the next day, Baicao was coldly isolated, no one spoke to her, no one looked at her.
Because Chu Wei packed up her things and went to live in the school immediately after she quit, the disciples of the Songbai Daoist Hall could only pin all their hopes on Xiuqin. They gathered around Xiuqin, as if they wanted to tell Baicao with their attitude, and they decided that Xiuqin should be the real winner yesterday.
Baicao silently warmed up.
She would not be lightly defeated by this kind of indifference and isolation, and in the past few years, she had become accustomed to this kind of scene.
However, when Ruobai in the morning light stood in front of the team gathered in the courtyard, his gaze faintly swept over each disciple, and began to officially announce the list of disciples who would represent the Songbai Daoist Pavilion to participate in the city's Daoist Challenge in two weeks, Baicao suddenly became nervous.
“…… As in the past, each gym sent three disciples to participate in the competition. After yesterday's in-hall trials, the men's players at the Songbai Dojo were Yifeng and me, while the women's players ......"
She bit her lip and stared silently at the grass beneath her feet, clasping her hands at her sides.
She didn't have the courage to look at the reactions of the disciples around her. She knew that Songbai's disciples all hoped that Xiuqin would play, not that she stumbled to win, and perhaps they were expecting her to voluntarily give up her qualification.
But......
But......
“…… Although in yesterday's women's competition, Baicao finally defeated Xiuqin, but considering the usual strength of the two of them, the performance xiàn ......"
The morning sun is cold and cold.
The courtyard was so silent that only the sound of the wind blowing through the grass tips could be heard, and the disciples of the Songbai Daoist Hall opened their eyes wide and flashed with disbelief in their breath.
Slowly-
Baicao looked up.
There seemed to be a murmur buzzing in her ears, and she couldn't hear it clearly, but she felt that Ruobai's voice was as cold as a wisp of morning light swirling in the courtyard.
