Chapter 19 - 19 18 Costly
?Chapter 19: Chapter 18 Costly Chapter 19: Chapter 18 Costly Xiang Weiguo had been here for over a month now, though Gao Yuan could no longer remember the exact time. He used to check the date every day, but as time went on and his life remained monotonously the same day after day, Gao Yuan gradually stopped paying attention to the date.
“In the mountains, there is no awareness of the lunar calendar,” that was the idea.
“Perpetual darkness,” meant the same thing.
Why speak of perpetual darkness? Because aside from the monotony and repetition, the most profound part of Gao Yuan’s life was its miserableness. Ever since Xiang Weiguo began training him, he felt he was living in a state of perpetual darkness.
Xiang Weiguo said he didn’t like to leave things half-done, and he also expressed his hope that Gao Yuan would persevere. In the beginning, Gao Yuan found it easy and enjoyable because the things Xiang Weiguo taught him were simple. However, from the day Xiang Weiguo decided they could spar together, Gao Yuan realized why he needed to persist.
It hurt, it really hurt, being beaten with a stick every day until he was black and blue.
The depths of winter brought truly cold weather, and Gao Yuan’s miserable life began each morning.
Gao Yuan, sweating profusely from running, arrived at Xiang Weiguo’s doorstep, just as Xiang Weiguo, draped in a military coat, happened to step out from his house.
Gao Yuan consciously took off his coat, wearing only a fleece on top and a pair of windproof softshell pants below. Despite sweating all over, he didn’t feel cold.
He only felt fear.
“Uncle Xiang…”
“Come.”
After the brief exchange, Xiang Weiguo immediately brought the stick down towards Gao Yuan’s head. When Gao Yuan swiftly deflected it and tried to counterattack, Xiang Weiguo’s stick followed the movement of Gao Yuan’s shorter stick, then solidly struck Gao Yuan’s arm.
With a smack, Gao Yuan’s short stick fell to the ground.
