It was a perfectly straight rural road. Because the surrounding farmland was flooded, there was nothing to see, so it seemed especially long.
Soon, Qu Sen was so tired that he ignored the wonderful elasticity on his back and forearm. He gritted his teeth and walked forward. Along the way, he changed his arms twice with Zhou Li. After walking for about half an hour, he finally saw the signboard of the Information Engineering University on the roadside. He could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Aren't you able to run dozens of kilometers in the mountains in half a night? How come you can't even walk this far? " Zhou Li, who didn't speak much because of her blushing face, heard Qu Sen's sigh of relief. She couldn't help but stab Qu Sen out of habit.
"To be honest, you're much heavier than a grenade and a Type 81 rifle combined," Qu Sen immediately retorted.
Qu Sen's words weren't wrong in theory. A Type 81 rifle and a few grenades, even if four magazines and a water bottle were included, weighed less than 20 kilograms. No matter how you looked at it, it was still much lighter than a living person like Zhou Li.
But when he said it at this time, it was obviously not that simple.
When Zhou Li heard it, she let go of Qu Sen's neck and hit his shoulder. When Qu Sen's center of gravity was unstable, she took the opportunity to get off Qu Sen's back.
"I don't need you to carry me. I'll walk by myself!" In fact, even if Qu Sen didn't hint that Zhou Li was fat, she was prepared to get off. The school was right in front of her. If she kept being carried by a boy, it would be awkward if other people saw. The strictness of the military school was incomparable to that of a local school.
Qu Sen also felt that it wouldn't be good if other people saw Zhou Li on his back, so he didn't insist. Seeing that Zhou Li was still limping, he reached out to help her walk.
Since she was already being carried, if she didn't let him help her, it would be too pretentious. Plus, she didn't feel it when she was being carried. Her legs did hurt when she walked, so Zhou Li didn't refuse.
Thus, the two of them each carried a suitcase in their hands. Then, one of them supported the other as they turned according to the roadside signs and slowly walked towards the school. After another ten minutes, the south gate of Information Engineering University finally appeared in front of them.
They showed their admission notice to the soldiers on duty at the gate, then asked where the registration area was, and the two of them walked into the school.
Registration area was very close. After entering the south gate, they turned right and walked a few steps.
When Qu Sen and Zhou Li walked out of the door, it was already 10: 40. Although he was half an hour late, since he had already arrived, he still had to bite the bullet and go in.
In fact, the two of them didn't feel the same way, they were nervous, because of the weather conditions. There were still a lot of students who didn't come to register because they were delayed on the way. The school would also be considerate of these unforeseen circumstances.
After all, no matter how anxious you were, you couldn't just jump off the train or bus and run all the way to school. There were many people like Qu Sen who were late by more than ten hours when they arrived at the station, and some of them were still worried because of the traffic jam.
The person in charge of registration was a middle-aged female administrative officer. When she heard the door of the registration area open, she looked up. She saw a boy helping a girl who seemed to be struggling to walk in with a suitcase, so she looked away.
He looked at the admission notice in his hand again. Then, he raised his head and frowned at a freshman who wasn't too tall standing in front of him. "Gao Bo, they're from another city. It's understandable that they're late because of the weather. Why are you, a local student, so late? "
The boy named Gao Bo was nervous. He explained in a small voice, "Teacher, my family is from the countryside. The terrain is low, and the water got in. My house and my neighbor's house were flooded. I helped … "Gao Bo saw the teacher in charge of registration looking at him with a serious face, so he couldn't continue.
Although Gao Bo didn't finish his words, the female officer could roughly guess what he was going to say. She glanced at Gao Bo who was standing in front of her. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, she nodded.
She handed the admission notice in her hand to the student in charge of registration and said, "Okay, remember to be punctual in the future. After you go to the dorms, clean up. When you hear the whistle for lunch, take your bed number to the cafeteria. In the afternoon, listen to orders to collect daily necessities and clothes. "
"Thank you teacher, thank you teacher!" Gao Bo instantly relaxed. He thanked the middle-aged female administrative officer and stood to the side. He waited for the student in charge of registration to fill in the form and assign him to a dorm.
"You two!" After dealing with the new student named Gao Bo, the female administrative officer yelled at Qu Sen and Zhou Li who were waiting at the door.
When the two heard this, they quickly walked forward and handed over their admission notices.
The female administrative officer looked at the two admission notices and asked, "Is the bus late?"
"Yes!" Qu Sen replied.
Zhou Li didn't say anything, but her small face was filled with a pitiful expression.
Zhou Li's "tactics" obviously worked. The female administrative officer ignored Qu Sen and asked Zhou Li softly, "Are you hurt?"
Zhou Li pursed his lips and nodded. He looked like he was about to cry because of "self-blame".
"What happened?" The female administrative officer saw that Zhou Li was "speechless", so she turned her head and asked Qu Sen. Her voice was a lot stricter.
"The road to the school was flooded. We couldn't get a taxi, so we walked in the water. In the end, a horse gourd lid was loose. The water was too muddy, so she couldn't see clearly. She stepped on it and got her leg caught. " Qu Sen wasn't stupid. Although he explained the process very simply, his words would create a misunderstanding. It would make it seem like the two of them walked all the way from the bus station.
"Why didn't you hurry to the hospital?" The female administrative officer frowned again and questioned Qu Sen.
"I told her to go to the hospital to get an X-ray, but she was afraid that it would delay the registration time." Qu Sen said with a self-blaming expression.
"Roll up your pants and let me see." The female administrative officer's tone suddenly became gentle when she spoke to Zhou Li.
When Zhou Li heard the female administrative officer's words, he bent down "strenuously" to roll up his pants.
"Sit down, sit down." The female administrative officer hurriedly pointed at the chair by the wall and gestured to Qu Sen.
Qu Sen hurriedly walked over and moved the chair behind Zhou Li. Zhou Li made an extremely realistic expression as he slowly sat down due to the increased pain from the movement. Qu Sen, who was standing behind her, almost thought that the person in front of him was a pregnant woman.
After sitting down, Zhou Li carefully rolled up his pants, revealing a bruise on his calf.
"Ouch." The female administrative officer saw it and immediately cried out in a low voice. Then, she asked kindly, "How are you feeling? Do you dare to move now?"
"It's okay, teacher. I can walk." Zhou Li finally spoke, but tears kept rolling in his eyes as he spoke. It looked like they would fall at any second.
"Little Wu, hurry up and register the two of them." The female administrative officer turned around and urged the student in charge of registration. Then, she said to Qu Sen, "Later, help her to the school hospital and quickly get an X-ray."
"Yes!" What else could Qu Sen say? He could only answer honestly.
The student in charge of registration quickly registered them and handed two bed number plates to Qu Sen.
Qu Sen took a look. Zhou Li's bed number was 308 in Building 12. She was on the second lower bunk. His bed number was 510 in Building 9. He was on the third lower bunk.
With Zhou Li's situation and the teacher in charge of registration taking it so seriously, it was normal for the student to give him a lower bunk. Qu Sen pondered over his own lower bunk. He didn't know if it was because he was in time or because the student took care of him.
But no matter what, it was a good thing to have a lower bunk and not have to climb up and down.
Although his mind was thinking about the bunk, Qu Sen didn't dare to delay. After putting the two bed number plates into his pocket, he carefully helped Zhou Li, who was as weak as "Sister Lin", up and thanked the female administrative officer. He turned around and walked out with his suitcase.
When Qu Sen helped Zhou Li out of the door, the female administrative officer reminded him again, "Go out and turn right. You'll see the school hospital if you keep walking!"
The two thanked each other again and finally walked out of the registration area. After turning right, they looked at each other tacitly.
Qu Sen's eyes said, "Hello, movie queen!"
Lady Zhou's eyes had a faint smile. She seemed to be saying to Qu Sen, "Hello, movie king!"
The school hospital wasn't big. It was a small two-story building.
Zhou Li didn't have a student ID yet, but the person at the registration counter asked about the situation. After registering Zhou Li's name and major, they still gave her a registration form. The doctor at the outpatient clinic did a simple check and gave Zhou Li an X-ray examination form. Qu Sen took the form and jogged over to mark the price. After that, he helped Zhou Li take the X-ray.
After a while, the doctor at the outpatient clinic took a look and said, "It's okay. I'll give you three days of oral medicine. If your symptoms worsen or don't get better, come back quickly."
Qu Sen went to mark the price again. After getting the medicine, the two of them left the school hospital.
Qu Sen couldn't just leave Zhou Li alone in his dormitory. He asked a student who was walking towards the hospital and helped her walk towards building number 12.
After a few turns, building number 12 was right in front of them. Even the girls' dormitories in local schools were forbidden areas for boys, let alone in a military academy.
