CH.1 Climbing the Mountain
c̞ * Pf27Z ) 9k C?ʙz MI ٞ =Q * | The branches of the tree, gently swaying in the cold wind, tell the people passing by that the cold winter has arrived. In the blue sky, there is not a single white cloud, and although the sun is in the sky, I can't feel the warmth of the sun at all.
The snow had accumulated a thick layer on the ground, obscuring the steps from their original appearance.
As far as the eye can see, there is a big mountain, not barren, but very desolate.
Zheng Ke and Marcus took a plane, and after they came to Ludi, Marcus immediately contacted the person in charge of the Far Moon School Park, and then told Zheng Ke that it would not be long before someone would pick them up.
The so-called soon, that is, a day later. A man in a black suit, driving a black car, took Marcus and Zheng Ke, and came to the foot of the mountain in the Oriental School Park. Among them, Marcus followed a person towards a mountain, while Zheng Ke followed another person towards another mountain.
Stepping on the thick snow, Zheng Ke really wanted to shout "The king will take me to patrol the mountains", but he was afraid of waking up some guys who were hibernating, such as bears, so he could only shout a few words in his heart.
Zheng Ke looked up and looked up, except for the person who led him over, there were no pedestrians, and walking on the mountain path, he still couldn't see the top of the mountain.
Zheng Ke estimates that if he is a student of the Oriental School Park, he may be the next mountain in a semester.
Dongfang, Yuanyue, and Lanji, he has seen the environment of the three schools, but I have to say that the location of Dongfang is indeed relatively remote.
The mountain is so high, how do you transport the ingredients? It can't be the people who carry bamboo baskets on their backs, send them up one by one? If that's the case, the cost is still quite high.
"That's right, big brother. Zheng Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the person walking in front.
The man didn't look back, but kept walking, "What's the matter?"
"Big brother, don't keep your face strained, let's chat. Zheng Ke took a breath and said softly.
"What's there to talk about?" said the man coldly, "you won't be here for long anyway." ”
Zheng Ke listened to this person's words and was angry, "Big brother, how do you know that I won't stay long?"
The man turned his head, his skin was yellow and waxy, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his figure was relatively thin, if he was a little timid, he might really be startled. But it is such a thin person, but on the high slope, as if walking on the ground.
"I've never met a few people who could stay here for three days. The man pursed his lips and whispered.
"Huh, have there been other people from other schools here?" asked Zheng Ke curiously.
"There are no people from other schools.,I mean,Even if the students of the Oriental School Park,It's not possible to stay on this mountain for three days.,Of course it's even more impossible for you.。 The man muttered.
Can't the students of the Oriental Academy stay here? Isn't this the scope of the Oriental Academy?
But soon,Zheng Ke reacted,It's true that this is the Oriental School Park.,But it's not a campus.,That is to say,The students of the Oriental School Park,Under normal circumstances,Don't come here.。
Thinking about this, this person's words are not difficult to understand.
But even so, Zheng Ke still didn't believe that he couldn't stay in the mountains for three days.
"Hasn't anyone stayed for three days?" Zheng Ke asked.
"Absolutely. The man's answer was short and to the point.
"Then I can too. Zheng Ke said stubbornly.
"Do you know who the people who stayed for three days were?" the man turned and looked at Zheng Ke.
"Where do I know?" Zheng Ke rolled his eyes.
"Hachikaku. The man turned.
"I know the Eight Pavilions, and besides, how many of them do I know?"
"Do you know who hasn't stayed for three days?" the man asked.
"Ordinary students. Zheng Ke thought about it, since the Eight Pavilions could survive here for three days, only ordinary students would give up.
"It's also Hachikaku. The man walked on.
"Wait, big brother, listening to you say that, there are eight pavilions horizontally and vertically. Zheng Ke laughed twice, and the whole person was a little speechless.
"Of course, because ordinary students are not qualified to come here. ”
"Huh, not qualified, this mountain doesn't look like a big deal, right?" Zheng Ke asked puzzled.
"That's right, it's not the mountain that's great, it's the people who live on it. By the way,Although this is under the management of the Oriental School Park,But this is not the campus of the Oriental School Park.,If you have to say it,,It should be a dormitory for faculty and staff.。 ”
Teacher's dormitory? Ordinary students are not eligible to come in.
Zheng Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead, the backpack on his shoulders was heavy, and his shoulders were sore, and his feet were estimated to have blisters. Now he just wanted to find a place to rest quickly, but the person in front of him was much older than him, but he didn't sweat on his forehead, and his physical strength was even more sufficient. He was embarrassed to say the word "rest", so he could only grit his teeth and continue to insist.
"Big brother,I just returned to China.,I don't know much about the Oriental School Park.。 I want to ask,How big is the Oriental School Park?" Zheng Ke didn't care if the person was willing to answer him, just talk about his own.
The man was probably afraid of being questioned by Zheng Ke again, so after thinking for a while, he still replied to Zheng Ke, "Do you see the mountain next to you?"
Zheng Ke looked in the direction of the man's finger, and sure enough, he saw several mountains in the distance.
"See. Zheng Ke nodded and said.
"Those are the places of the Oriental Academy. The man said simply.
That's too big, right?
"However, it is not a campus, as for the campus...... If you can get the teacher to agree with you, I think he might let you come over and have a look. The man said simply.
When Zheng Ke heard this, he roughly understood, and the person who needed to meet later should be the teacher who wanted to teach him cooking, but if he wanted to learn real skills, he had to be recognized by the other party, which should be true.
"That'...... It will take more time for the teacher to meet?" Zheng Ke asked curiously.
"I don't know, but the teacher's place is almost there...... The rest is up to you. ”
Zheng Ke nodded and stopped talking. After climbing the mountain for so long, I haven't seen a room or dormitory building, and I guess it will take a long time.
This time, Zheng Ke didn't guess right.
The man walked ahead, and after three turns and two turns, he came to a thatched hut, "Oh, this is it." ”
Zheng Ke looked left and right and found that there were no other buildings nearby, so he guessed that the teacher's residence was in a thatched house.
"Isn't it cold on such a cold day, the teacher lives here?"
Zheng Ke laughed dryly, didn't Dojima Silver say that the dormitory he lived in was a bedroom like Polestar Liao?
The man shook his head, "I don't dare to live here, but I can't stand the teacher's own liking?"
"That teacher must be frost resistant. Zheng Ke speculated.
The man shook his head again, "I don't know, my mission is to send you here, and the rest is up to you." So saying, the man walked around the thatched hut and into the depths of the mountain.
Zheng Ke shrugged his shoulders, he came here alone, he was not familiar with the place, and the person who led the way left so quickly, leaving him outside the thatched house, well, a little helpless.
