Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Ye Jian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard her classmates’ conversation. ”The mister heard that we were full and made a casual joke, but you took it seriously. Move the desks and chairs to the side. Just now, I saw that the classroom is a little dirty. After we change out of our clothes, let’s clean it up.

”Xu Wen, He Jing, go to the classroom next door and see if it’s locked. If it’s not, let’s clean the classrooms tonight.”

”Yes!”

”Yes!”

Hearing that, the two of them immediately turned around and went to the classroom next door to check.

From the first floor to the fourth floor, everything was locked. In that case, they would just sweep the corridor.

The three female students first turned on the lights in the classroom and changed their clothes. Then, when the male students came in to change their clothes, Ye Jian, Xu Wen, and He Jing started cleaning the stairs from the first to the third floor.

After a few minutes, the male students walked out and started cleaning the corridor from the fourth floor to the first floor.

There was strength in numbers. After a while, the corridors and stairs on the fourth floor were all cleaned up. They were just short of mopping the floors.

It was the same in the classroom. Even the spiderwebs in the corner of the ceiling had been swept away. The shoe prints on the wall that were left by the children were also wiped with a wet towel until there were only faint marks.

After cleaning up, the students sat on the chairs and finished their dinner.

Everyone had two compressed biscuits and the mountain stream water in their bottles as their dinner.

At ten o’clock, the students went to bed. Ye Jian and Song Zhiqiu stood outside and discussed how to carry out the courage training.

”It’s raining heavily now. I went to take a look over there just now…” Ye Jian pointed in the direction where they came from. ”There’s a tea garden over there. I’ll go over with you and place a few items there. Later, we’ll split into two groups. We’ll go to the tea garden to complete our patrol and look for things. Then, we’ll pick two catties of old tea leaves. What do you think?”

”It’s just a tea garden? Nothing else?” Song Zhiqiu didn’t believe that Ye Jian would only use this simple trick to test their courage. He smiled and asked, ”There are other tricks, right?”

Ye Jian smiled. ”Didn’t you notice it when we came over just now? There’s a small hill beside the tea garden. They have to pass through that small hill to get to the tea garden. I saw many tombstones.”

That meant that there was no way to avoid what Xu Wen was afraid of.

Song Zhiqiu rubbed his arms in panic. ”Can I say that I’m a little afraid too?”

”Hahaha, even I’m not afraid. What are you afraid of? We can just take out the waterproof clothes and let them wear them. Then, they can go over directly.” Ye Jian laughed softly. One could tell that she wasn’t afraid at all.

Song Zhiqiu couldn’t help but laugh. After a while, he asked, ”Is there anything you’re afraid of?”

”Of course, there are things I’m afraid of.” Ye Jian turned around and returned to the classroom. She paused in her footsteps and replied, ”Everyone is afraid of things. However, there’s nothing to be afraid of when walking at night.”

She had things she was afraid of, such as… her comrades sacrificing themselves and the man she loved the most getting hurt. These were the things she was most afraid of, but she had to face them.

”Then you can walk in front later. I’ll walk behind.” The vice-captain, Song Zhiqiu, could only follow. It couldn’t be helped. It was raining heavily, but they needed to carry out courage training. Doing it when it was raining made it even scarier.

When Xu Wen saw Ye Jian and Song Zhiqiu taking the waterproof clothes out, she knew that it was impossible to avoid the courage training tonight. She instantly felt uncomfortable.

At 11:30 pm, five male and one female student, Xu Wen, were the first batch to undergo courage training.

The six of them wore waterproof clothes and rushed into the heavy rain with their flashlights. They needed to find the escape rope that Ye Jian hid in the tea garden, and they needed to complete a round of patrol. At the same time, they needed to pick two catties of old tea leaves. They had to make sure they picked the leaves and not the branches.

This was the courage training tonight. In Ye Jian’s words, ”There’s rain tonight. There’s no need to ask for too much.”
