Chapter 30: The Tempering of the Ghost Domain (Part II)

For three months, we repeated these training contents every day, except for the increasing intensity of training, nothing changed much, and the days were boring and monotonous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Every three days, the Oni Lao (as we call it the Oni Sorrow) would arrange for us to soak in a medicated bath, which was undoubtedly what we looked forward to the most in those days, no matter how severe the whiplash scars were, after a night of medicated baths.

Of the thirty-six children who came together, six collapsed and never got up again during this super-intense training, including the one who had been resting for a month with a leg injury. We are sentimental, but more fearful, and we don't know when it's time to fall.

My father-in-law came once to inspect the results of our training and brought us a lot of good food, and that day the ghost elder was relatively tolerant of our noise.

With the passage of time, we have been able to barely adapt to the overload of physical training, and the medicated bath has become a reassuring pill in our hearts, and there is still hope for the day when we can survive the medicated bath.

Hunger bothered us even more, but the mountains and rivers here were poor, and the ghost elder did not allow us to wander around the ghost realm except for the camp. Only those who came here a few years before us for wilderness survival training were able to leave the camp and head deep into the mountains, and we couldn't find anything to eat. We can only stay half-hungry, but luckily they have special pills to replenish the energy we use for training, otherwise we would not have been able to hold on for a long time.

After three months of physical training, we began to learn fighting and grappling, eighteen kinds of martial arts, and at the same time, we began to get in touch with disguise, camouflage, learn local languages, customs, history, and familiarize ourselves with various weapons and secrets.

Xiao Leng has always been very cold, keeping a certain distance from us, outside of training, he always stays quietly alone, and rarely talks with everyone. Sometimes I want to talk to him, but when I see his cold face, I dismiss it.

When the snowflakes are melting, the sky is often drizzling.

The rain is a whole day, and elsewhere it is a good season for all things to recover, giving birth to life. In the ghost domain, it really makes people can't help but burst into foul language.

Training doesn't stop because of this drizzle. In the warm and cold weather, the rain soaked the clothes and sticks to the body, the cold is biting, the rugged mountain road becomes muddy and slippery through the rain and the people step on it, and it is impossible to prevent falling and falling injuries.

We ran every day along the slope of the camp and built a five-foot-wide bridge out of logs over a small canyon called Eagle's Beak Gorge. The bridge is very simple, and there is no shelter on both sides, and it is very dangerous to step on the log and slip three times on a rainy day.

The drizzle lasted for several days, and the high-intensity training of sweating every day made several friends unable to bear the illness and just held on. Ono, who came out of the same yard as me, had a fever for two days, and he didn't dare to rest with the ghost boss, so he ran by my side.

On the last lap of the bridge, Ono slipped and stumbled out of the bridge, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I pounced on him and grabbed his feet in time, and his whole body hung upside down from the bridge.

The running team stopped, separating the two ends of the bridge. I was about to pull him up when there was a sharp pain in the wind behind me, and a long whip cut a trail of blood on my back. I almost let go of my hand in a sudden pain, and the strength in my hand was weak, and Ono slipped a little more.

There was a "snap", and there was another hot burning pain.

"Bunny, dare to disturb the order, don't be nosy, and immediately run your own. "I can hear the voice of the overseer black bear, this person is arrogant, he has always been ruthless, we have been beaten by his poisonous whip in the past few months, even Xiao Leng he has been whipped twice for no reason, everyone hates him so much that they gnash their teeth. Because he was so dark and strong, we all called him the black bear in private.

Let me let go at this moment, it's tantamount to killing Ono with my own hands. I ignored him and dragged Ono upside down in pain.

"Rabbit cub, are you looking for death?" the long whip in the black bear's hand flicked again.

I reached out and grabbed the whip and glared at him angrily: "Saving people is also considered to disturb order, who made this kind of rule." ”

The black bear was extremely annoyed that I dared to confront him, his voice soared, and he said angrily: "What's the use of keeping a waste that can't even protect himself? Who can blame him for falling to his death? You don't need to be a hero." ”

"I didn't try to be a hero, it was just a split second reaction to what happened. ”

"Do you dare to talk back?" roared, and the black bear flew and pounced, but suddenly stood unsteady and fell to the ground. He turned around in a rage, his face hideous, and his expression seemed to be about to devour his life alive.

"Who the hit me with a stone?" the words seemed to be said to everyone, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Leng.

"It's me. Xiao Leng's voice was indifferent.

The black bear was stunned for a moment, although he estimated that it was Xiao Leng, but when he heard the other party's answer so calmly, he was still a little stunned, it turned out that none of these rabbit cubs succumbed to his poisonous whip.

He felt provoked, and even more insulted. He didn't make these stinky boys surrender by beating and scolding them severely, and he should have come up with something more vicious today.

"You bunnies, I'm going to make you regret living in the world today. The black bear smirked and took out a steel cone from behind him, and his huge body smashed into Xiao Leng like a Taishan crush when the words fell, and the steel cone in his hand stabbed Xiao Leng in the throat.

Whoever can mix in the ghost domain will not be an ordinary person, even if he is just a character who does not enter the stream.

The black bear's steel cone stopped abruptly an inch from Xiao Leng's throat, and his fluttering momentum was unreasonably abrupt.

A thin hand rested lightly on his shoulder.

The ghost elder appeared beside the two people at the right time. There was fire burning in the gray and empty eyes.

"The training has been really easy lately, and today I ran five more laps. After the ghost elder finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Leng, then at me and Xiao Ye, and said, "You three stay and apologize to him." ”

The wound on my back was stained with rain, and the pain made me unwilling to say, "I'm not wrong, why should I apologize?"

The ghost elder's gaze fell on my face, the fire became stronger, and he said slowly: "It's a mistake to disobey orders, and it's even more wrong to dare to talk back now, if you don't want to die, it's better to do what I say." ”

My palms were sweating, but I wouldn't give in.

"Are we going to suffer here just to learn to be selfish and not to be saved?

What's the use of being strong?"

The ghost elder's empty eyes flashed with a trace of pain, and he was quickly hidden by the flames, and said: "Boy, if you want to be a hero, you shouldn't come to the ghost domain, this only teaches you to live and kill, forget all your kindness and compassion, you don't need these here." ”

I shouted, "If we only have to be a tool to kill, why should we bear this? We are here to be a strong man, to be a big hero." ”

For the first time, the ghost old man had an expression on his face, but the expression was like seeing a madman. "You don't seem to have figured out the situation, you were born with no choice, your path has already been arranged, you can only accept it. Now, I apologize to Supervisor Jia. ”

"Ghost elder, isn't this unreasonable?" Xiao Leng's voice rose lightly.

The ghost old man raised his eyelids and said, "You don't have to care if it's reasonable, you just need to obey." The voice was as emotionless as ever.

There was a brief silence, but anyone could feel the uneasiness and anxiety that permeated the air.

"Is it really decided not to say it? Very good, first run ten laps with a weight of 30 pounds, and you can tell me when you think clearly." ”

"Ghost old man, this is not fair, it is obviously not our fault, don't we have to live like wild beasts? "I feel that the punishment this time is obviously not too severe, and as usual we will definitely shoot against him like this. Maybe he didn't think the black bear was very reasonable, but if we didn't punish us, the rules would be messed up. I thought so, so I said a few more words.

"Slap" a loud slap, my face instantly swollen, and there was a hint of fishy sweetness at the corner of my mouth.

"Before you open your mouth next time, think about the first thing I want you to remember: I must obey my words unconditionally. ”

"Ghost old, Ono has a high fever, let alone ten laps, he can't support three laps. "I still haven't given up on the last ray of hope.

"Survival of the fittest, it's just his life that should be like this, can you protect him once, protect him for a lifetime?"

I gritted my teeth and said, "I don't care, I can help once I can." I completed today's task for him. ”

Xiao Leng looked at me, his eyes sparkled, and said, "You can't be too greedy, you won't mind if you share half of me, right?"

"You are willing to ask for your own hardship, I can't stop it, and I won't allow this to happen again. The ghost old man dropped a sentence and drifted away.

The drizzle fell silently, Xiao Leng and I looked at each other and smiled, this season of life, the tree of our friendship is quietly taking root.
