Far away in Moscow

Chapter 37
It was already dark when we returned to the dormitory. Li Baoqing and a few classmates were playing cards bluffing. Seeing that Hu Yi was in such a mess, they quickly surrounded him to ask.Peng Song and the Ugandans also ran over from the next door, pointing at the blood stains on Hu Yi's clothes and yelling.

Hu Yi briefly said a few words, took off his blood-stained coat and put it on the back of the chair, sat down on the bed exhausted, and smiled forcefully: "It's okay, I resist the beating, but I'm a little tired."

Hu Yi is very popular in Maji. Hearing that he was beaten, Chinese students in the building came to visit with alcohol cotton, band-aids, and Yunnan Baiyao.Although Hu Yi himself had plenty of medicines, he still felt very warm in his heart.

A group of foreign friends including Bayin, Persimmon Face, and Dam also came to express their greetings. When the students left one after another, Hu Yi lay down on the bed tiredly, and many parts of his body began to ache. He was so lazy that he didn't want to move at all. , but it feels tight and uncomfortable.

Just about to get up to take a shower, there was another heavy knock on the door.Peng Song ran to open the door, and it was Bayin's friend, the Mongolian girl who bought beef, who entered the room.On the plate she held in her hand was a piece of raw beef the size of a fist, and there was a knife next to it.

"Anton! How are you? How do you feel?" The girl's thick voice trembled slightly: "I brought the beef you like, and eating beef will help your body recover!" She said and put the plate on the bedside table, earnestly Looking at Hu Yi seriously: "Eat, eat quickly."

The piece of beef was still oozing red blood, Hu Yi was very hungry at first, when he saw it, he instinctively thought of his own appearance in the mirror of the toilet in the police station, and couldn't help feeling a little nauseous: "No, I don't want to... "

"You don't want to?" A faint look of disappointment appeared on the girl's face.Hu Yi couldn't bear it in his heart, so he quickly changed his words: "I'm injured, I don't have the strength, I'll eat later."

The girl suddenly realized that she quickly grabbed the knife and quickly cut off a piece, then picked it up with the tip of the knife and brought it to his mouth: "Come on, let me help you, eat!"

A vague smell of blood rushed straight to his nose, Hu Yi looked at the gleaming knife, then glanced at the girl's expectant expression, held his breath, opened his mouth to bite off the piece of meat, chewed a few mouthfuls, and swallowed it hastily Next, with a vague and forced smile, he said, "It's really... so delicious!"

A gratified smile instantly appeared on the girl's round face, and she stretched out her hand to cut it again. Hu Yi hurriedly stopped her: "Wait, wait a minute. I want to take a bath first and eat later. Thank you very much."

The girl nodded and left contentedly.Hu Yi brought the remaining beef into the kitchen, picked up the cup and drank a few sips of water, feeling grateful and apologetic.Then he took off his clothes and went to the toilet to take a shower. By the way, he checked all parts of his body and found that there were no serious problems except for a few bruises on his limbs.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the small piece of beef just fell down, and I feel that I have regained a lot of energy.Coming out of the bathroom, he put on a new pair of trousers. Before he could put on his shirt, Peng Song who was next to him suddenly shouted, "Ah! Brother Yi, your back!"

"What's wrong?" Hu Yi twisted his stiff back, feeling a little sore.Li Baoqing looked around, frowned and said: "There are many marks, as if being whipped with a stick."

"Really?" Hu Yi turned his back to the mirror and turned his head to look. Sure enough, there were many uniform lines of purple marks printed on his back. At a glance, he remembered the rebar that the police showed him, and couldn't help cursing: " His grandma, it turned out that these grandchildren really beat me with steel bars! I didn’t believe it when the police showed me the murder weapon!”

"Steel bars?! Are your nerves dead? You don't even know the steel bars hit your body?" Li Baoqing stretched out his fingers and pressed on his back a few times: "It's weird, this steel bar looks thick, what are you doing? Baba doesn't have much meat, why didn't I break a few ribs for you?"

Hu Yi knew in his heart that it must be because the space in the subway was too cramped, and the other party had difficulty exerting force on his hands, so the injury was not serious, but he said proudly: "This is called iron and bone. Don't look at us being thin and muscular. Guys can't hurt me."

Li Baoqing chuckled: "You've been beaten up like this, and you still don't forget to brag. It seems that you have nothing to do."

Hu Yi clenched his fists and bent his elbows and put on a posture: "Have you heard of the iron cloth shirt with the golden bell cover? Although we have never practiced it, we are so talented!"

When the hype was blowing, there was an exclamation of "ah" from behind, and the three of them turned their heads together, seeing Yu Feifei striding in, pointing at Hu Yi's back and saying: "Oh! You...how did you get beaten like this? ?”

Hu Yi hurriedly put on his clothes, but before he could speak, Li Baoqing smiled and said: "It's okay, he is practicing iron cloth shirts, and he specially hired someone to smash them with steel bars."

Yu Feifei thought that Li Baoqing was joking without timing, so she gave him a sideways glance, and then stared at Hu Yi: "Your face is quite broken, I borrowed a bottle of red medicine from someone, first painted it on you, and then put a band-aid on it. "

Hu Yi flicked his hair and showed a chic smile: "You don't need to apply it, it's just flesh and blood wounds, what a joke! I have a strong healing ability, and I'll be fine tomorrow."

"Apply some medicine to sterilize, or the wound will be infected!" Yu Feifei couldn't help but press Hu Yi on the chair, and carefully applied the red medicine on his damaged skin with a cotton swab.

Hu Yi felt warm in his heart. Seeing Li Baoqing and Peng Song staring at him sideways, he felt embarrassed again, and coughed lightly: "You two, don't just stand and watch the fun. I'm hungry, so hurry up and order some instant noodles .”

Yu Feifei hurriedly shook her head: "No! How can you eat instant noodles? You are injured and need to supplement nutrition."

Li Baoqing said with a dry smile, "The most nutritious thing in our family is instant noodles."

Peng Song leaned over to Hu Yi's side: "Brother Yi, I'll go downstairs to buy a chicken, how about fried spicy chicken for you?"

"No! You can't eat spicy food after being injured!" Yu Feifei said to Li Baoqing: "Go and steam the rice, and I'll go to the market to buy some pork ribs, and I'll stew them for him when I come back.

"How can I let you go!" Li Baoqing turned to put on shoes: "I'd better go buy them, Lao Hu just had an accident, I don't worry about you going out by yourself."

Yu Feifei smiled and said, "Forget it, skinheads don't beat women, I'm much safer going out than you."

The two were still arguing, and Hu Yi said, "Hey, it's getting dark, and none of you should go out. Isn't there a piece of beef in the kitchen? Just cut up and stew some potatoes."

"Yes, that's true." Li Baoqing grinned: "But what if the Mongolian girl comes back to feed you later?"

"Just say that I cut and ate it all! You testify for me."

Li Baoqing happily went into the kitchen to get busy, Yu Feifei looked at Hu Yi's face covered with red medicine, and sighed softly: "You, be careful when you go out." After saying that, she picked up the blood-stained clothes he hung on the back of the chair dirty laundry: "I'll take it back and wash it for you."

After waking up the next day, Hu Yi went straight to the school infirmary in the dormitory. The old school doctor checked the place where he was beaten, and looked at him with his glasses in his hand: "It's all skin trauma, and it will be fine in a few days. Do you feel unwell elsewhere?"

Hu Yi moved his limbs, shook his head, frowned and said, "My head hurts a little."

"Oh, then you need to rest, rest more." The old school doctor swiped a pen and issued a two-week leave note.

After suffering such a fat beating, Hu Yi was happy to rest at home for a few more days.However, he was still full of contradictions. On the one hand, some of the courses in the past two months had dealt a serious blow to his confidence as a scumbag. Going to class was more difficult than being tortured, and taking the opportunity to rest was relaxing; on the other hand, Worried that I will not be able to keep up with my homework.

Although he was on sick leave, Hu Yi didn't waste his time. During the day, he held textbooks and dictionaries in the dormitory to study by himself, and at night he borrowed Feifei's class notes to make up lessons.The young man has a strong recovery ability, and his body has recovered in less than a week. He can't wait to return to class immediately, thinking about how to pass the final exam.

It's a pity that many things are useless based on subjective will and stubbornness. For a super university scum like him, the content related to mathematics is like a blind man touching an elephant, a deaf man reading music scores, and an ape learning programming.The letters and formulas in the book were clear stroke by stroke, but they turned into a mess in my mind, and I was even more confused when I heard the teacher explain it in Russian, only to find that it was completely different from my own understanding. It's the same thing, I don't understand what it means at all.Only now did he have to admit that it was a fantasy for him to graduate from the preparatory school.

"What should I do?" Hu Yi sat on the bed and muttered to himself. If he hadn't been particularly worried about his studies before, now he really felt pressure and distress.

"What else can I do? I can't help it. I can't understand the things I'm talking about in class now. Anyway, I probably have no hope of graduating, so let me do whatever I want." Li Baoqing squatted with his back against the radiator under the window sill, Gently press the front teeth with the wine bottle in his hand.His current situation is even worse than Hu Yi's. All the courses are in a mess, and he has the idea of ​​breaking the jar before he knows it.

"I don't think it's going to work. Even if you can get lucky and pass the graduation exam, it will definitely be even more stupid after you enter the department." Hu Yi got up and walked to the window to stare blankly into the distance.Moscow has entered the season of long days and short nights, and the sky is still bright after dinner.

"You're useless?" Li Baoqing stared at the clothesline above his head in a daze, "I remember when you first arrived in Moscow, you made a vow that you would hang yourself if you failed the exam. Do you think the rope is fast enough?"

"Go away, let's be serious."

"Serious? The serious thing is that I can't study anymore and want to go home." Li Baoqing looked up at Hu Yi in a distraught state: "Old Hu, do you miss home?"

"I'm okay." Hu Yi lightly jumped onto the window sill, swung his legs and drank a sip of beer: "It's just that the class is too strenuous, and life is so boring."

"I feel very boring now. I don't care if I don't understand the class, I don't like eating, I don't enjoy playing, and I'm worried when I go out for a walk. The only thing I can remember in the past six months is playing cards besides fighting. I just go back to China. Forget it." Li Baoqing stretched his legs, and sat down on the ground angrily: "I really regret it now, if I knew it would be better to go to school in China, why come here to suffer this crime!"

Hu Yi squinted at Li Baoqing: "To be honest, I'm tired of staying in this crappy place. But let's go home like this, why should I explain to my parents? Thousands of dollars are thrown into the water?"

Li Baoqing patted his head vigorously, with a distressed face: "I am also worried. If my father knows what I am like now, he will definitely beat me to death."

"Yes. Even if my parents don't say anything, it would be too shameful to return home in such a dismal state." Hu Yi was stunned for a while, then suddenly jumped off the window sill, sat cross-legged next to Li Baoqing and sighed with a smile: "I still have One way, we two will change schools next year and retake the one-year preparatory course."

"Change school?" Li Baoqing blinked twice: "Changing school...can you guarantee graduation from the preparatory course?"
