His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyelids gradually opened.

The pupils of the eyes are a clear purple.

Xiu sat up slowly, but because he accidentally leaked the quilt and penetrated the wind, he shivered from the cold.

The cold air inhaled into his abdomen and made him sober up a lot.

He pushed the covers away, leaving his somewhat emaciated body completely exposed to the harsh winter.

Even though there is a campfire burning in the room, it is much warmer than outside, but the temperature is still very low.

The difference is only that the outside drips into ice, and the inside of the room takes a while to become ice.

He gritted his teeth and endured the cold, trying his best not to make his body tremble. He endured the cold in this cold winter, little by little put on the knight's uniform neatly folded at the head of the bed, tied the belt, put his appearance in order, and put on the winter clothes issued by Heaven: a black woolen coat.

On the second day of snowfall, Destiny sent out the winter clothes. It's horribly fast. Xiu Zai thought that maybe the Mandate of Heaven had already been prepared, but it hadn't had time to issue it yet.

It may also be that I didn't expect the weather to get cold so quickly, and it only takes one night to cool down.

But I have to say that this winter outfit can be described as comfortable.

Their boots and gloves are lined with fleece and animal skin, which is very soft and warm to wear.

Xiu liked this feeling the first time I used it.

When the standard coat is heavily wrapped around the body, Xiu feels not only the heaviness of the coat, but also the warmth that comes with it.

Finally, he wrapped himself in a pink scarf.

The black coat, black gloves, and black boots made him look like a soldier and a knight. But the pink scarf broke the momentum completely.

But I didn't care about it at all, but was very careful and wrapped the scarf very well.

He let out a long breath, looked at the empty room, and the empty bed opposite, he turned and pushed open the door of the dormitory, and faintly watched the oncoming snow stick to his small face.

Ice-cold.

The color of the snow is whiter than his hair, but when it falls on his hair, the difference is not that big.

He wiped off the snow particles that had fallen on his face. He's going to start his regular morning exercise every day.

Ten laps of the training ground are fixed every morning, and it is indispensable. These are also the tasks given to him by Susanna, and Xiu gradually got used to it.

It's very cold now, and it's inconvenient to run in such thick clothes, but Xiu also ran down like this, but it's more uncomfortable.

On such a cold day, even if you finish running, you won't sweat at all, because you can't get out at all. It's just that the body is a little hot, a little tired, that's all.

After arriving at the canteen, the uncle in the canteen served a hot porridge, two meatloafs, and several breads and eggs.

"I'm going to bring breakfast again." Uncle said with a smile.

"Well, it's—" Xiu suddenly remembered something.

In the dormitory, there was no one who needed his help to bring breakfast.

"Ah, I forgot." Uncle Xiu said at the same time.

The two looked at each other in unison and smiled at the same time.

"It's okay, it's given to you, you can take it. There's always something left over anyway, so it's better if you eat more. The uncle smiled heartily.

"Thank you." Xiu smiled in response, "But you've already given me a lot." ”

"It's okay, the recruits of the entire training camp, I look like you are the most diligent. Uncle likes diligent people, and these are considered rewards for you. Uncle waved his hand, "I don't care about anything else, but this is the place to eat, and I have the final say!" ”

Xiu thanked Uncle again and took the food.

Otto has been gone for half a month.

To be honest, after Otto left, the impact on Xiu was minimal.

Because there is no Otto in training, in the classroom, and in the assessment. With Xiu, it's Carlos, it's Andrew, it's Luna, it's Anthony, they're not related to Otto at all, but...

Every day when he returned to the dormitory, there was no arrogant voice that responded to him, and every day after waking up, it was an empty double dormitory. There is no smell of gunsmoke, and there is no such excitement as the occasional madness in the middle of the night.

I'm not used to it.

He drank hot porridge quietly and ate bread with meatloaf.

He didn't eat much, and in the end he had a few loaves of bread left. These were supposed to be breakfasts for Otto.

But now, no one is going to eat it. Xiu took them all and fed them to the dark.

The day passed quickly with the teachers preaching and the students writing. After having dinner with his companions, Xiu went straight to the office.

Actually, there are no courses to make up. The teachers have already taught the things that need to be learned, and there is no need to learn anything at all. But he still likes to go to the office.

He loved to listen to Father Marshall's teachings.

Father Marshall never told him what he had to do, he only told him how to think.

There are many ways to do things. There are many, many ways to do it, but each person has different insights and cognitions, and their ways of doing things are also different.

For example, to defeat an opponent, the wise man's method is to use his mouth, the brave man's method is to use his hands, the general's method is to use soldiers, and the king's method is to choose one of the wise, brave and general for him to solve.

When you have a problem, don't let yourself be limited. Because there are many ways, it's just that you don't think of it.

These are the only words that Father Marshall told Fernandes to remember.

Tonight, Father Marshall sat in his place, as always, flipping through a thick book in his hand.

He had a blanket over his legs, a cup on his table was steaming, and a small stove was baking beside him. On the stove, a kettle of water is boiling.

Xiu stepped forward, saw some leaves rolling in the water, and asked a little puzzled, "Teacher, what is this?" ”

"The stuff of the Eastern country, they call it: tea. It was brought to me by an old friend of mine. It's really a good drink and I love the taste. You can taste it too. The priest handed his quilt to Xiu.

Xiu took the cup and drank a little, a bitter taste welled up in his mouth, and Xiu frowned.

"Teacher, it's bitter." I wondered, "Why do you like this taste?" ”

"You'll find out in a moment." Marshall smiled.

Xiu couldn't understand and waited for a while.

Gradually, the sweet taste came out on the tip of the tongue. Xiu was a little surprised and said, "It's a little sweet." ”

"First bitter and then sweet, and more importantly, when you drink it, the pantry has a clear, smooth taste, which is completely different from wine. I like him more than wine. Marshall gently stirred the boiling tea soup with a wooden spoon, and the fragrance of the tea leaves was lifted.

Xiu couldn't drink so much at all, he only felt that what Father Marshall said made sense.

"You may have something on your mind, but you don't want to say it." Marshall added a spoonful of tea soup to the quilt, "But I hope you don't get bothered by these things for too long." There's nothing you can't get by. Even if you don't solve it, time will help you solve it. Time will erase all worries, even if it may be a long time. ”

Xiu nodded.

"Teacher, tell me about the Codex." Xiu took out the Platonic Codex.

"You still can't wait to see it." Father Marshall smiled slightly, "Since it's your choice, then I won't say more." Those who don't understand? ”

The two asked and answered, and time passed in the questions and answers of the two.

After finishing the tutoring, Xiu went to the quartermaster's office, talked to Mia for half an hour, and then brought the evening horse grass to the dark.

The time of the day passed so plainly and fulfillingly.

Peace, and tranquility.

In this ivory tower, these recruits live a dull and fulfilling, tired but carefree life. They were driven by the instructors with leather whips to grow up, but they were free and happy.

When Xiu pushed open the door of the empty room, he lit the dark wood he had brought back tonight for warmth, hung his coat on the wall, and the knight's uniform was neatly folded on the table and buried into the thick quilt.
