Chapter 7: Brother
After General Marco blew the trumpet, the other students who were still sleeping in the camp with their heads covered also rushed out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ever since they arrived, they had been on constant alert, accustomed to a surprise assembly at some point in the morning.
In a few moments, they were already neatly lined up in five columns on the training ground.
In the midst of that, Aaron, who had given up his sleep time and waited for a night, seemed particularly energetic in the crowd.
"There is one more person who has been chosen by the Jungle Wolf tonight, and from today onwards, Assyria will also be training with everyone, please applaud." When General Marco finished speaking, applause came and went.
Amid the warm applause, Ji An took the bottle of plum wine that only "those who have been chosen by the Jungle Wolf" can enjoy, and General Marco said, "Wait a minute, our lucky one today will cook and share his luck with everyone." ”
The cheers of everyone were louder than just now, and there was a little more sincerity.
General Marco whispered in Ji An's ear in a voice that only he could hear: "I said I wanted you to invite me to dinner." ”
Ji An's face twitched, it turned out that he had misunderstood General Marco, this person really didn't swallow it alone at all, and he didn't forget his brother if he had benefits.
"Report to the general, we have a lot of people and need a lot of ingredients, can you let me go to the vegetable market together to help?" Aaron automatically asked.
General Mark snorted neatly.
Ji An followed behind Aaron and walked to the vegetable market. He said that it was good that Aaron offered to help, otherwise he wouldn't know how to go to the vegetable market.
The vegetable market is a pot of rotten porridge, and all kinds of voices are noisy: selling, bargaining, roosters, ducks...... When each sound seeps together, it makes the whole market boil.
But in this noisy market, Ji'an and Aaron seem out of place.
The two of them, wearing masks, did not talk to anyone at the market, but pointed to their pre-written purchase menus and made silent comparisons with the stall vendors.
Aaron told Ji An that this was because the people who worked in the market were all non-functional, and the wolf clan had made it clear that people like them who had not yet been separated from the faction should never talk to the non-functional, so as not to be influenced by their thoughts.
Ji An followed the tea recipe of the golden belly soup to buy the ingredients, and the crab meat and shrimp were missing, so he squeezed to the seafood stall in the crowd.
At first, he was actually surprised that there was a seafood stall here, where did the seafood come from?
But looking back, what's so surprising that 001 is not a real primitive world, it has come to the 21st century like 018, although the war has destroyed human civilization and made the residence and life mode here out of the 21st century as he knows it, but there is also foreign trade here, not a closed country.
In front of the seafood stall, Ji An began to carefully pick up shrimp and crabs.
Suddenly, a burning sensation of being watched deeply made Ji An couldn't help but raise his head.
The moment the person in front of him looked up, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself for a while, and knocked over the plate in his hand, and the crabs on the plate crawled on the ground vigorously.
Ji An saw an abnormal, chilling feeling of happiness in the man's eyes.
It's like meeting a loved one who has been separated......
Assyria's memories flashed before his eyes: this man had fallen asleep with him in his arms in the cold night; This man once put the last ration of rice in the family into his mouth; This man had stood up when he was bullied by other kids......
This man was the elder brother who was four years older than Assyria.
Assyria's parents died in a tribal war ten years ago, and Assyria grew up as his eldest brother and father. The little boy who was actually not much older than him took on this responsibility early.
Until four years ago, Assyria remembered that day, when the sky of the steppe was as blue as ever, and his brother and he hugged each other tightly, tears pouring down their faces, and this hug lasted for a long time, making the enforcers beside him very impatient, and one of them urged several times: "Please come with us Green 31." ”
Green 31, since his brother was condemned as useless in the faction test, he lost his original name and was assigned a post and number - Green, which means working in the vegetable market, and 31 is his number.
The non-functionals were not allowed to live with their families, but only in the concentration camps of the posts; Invalid factions are also not allowed to have any communication with young people who have not yet undergone the factional test, so as not to affect national education.
Eventually, the enforcers pulled Assyria out of his brother's arms, handcuffed him, and forcibly took him away.
My brother was still screaming, "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... It's my brother who is so useless and afraid of everything....."
Assyria listened to his brother's voice from near to far, watching his brother's figure fade into his sight.
At this moment, Zian looked at Assyria's brother: his eyes were as sad as he remembered, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, and finally tears welled up silently from his eyes.
He lost even the right to say a word to his brother.
"Brother....." Assyria's consciousness regained control in an instant, and he called out in a low voice, but the concentration that had been gathered was dispersed by a shout.
"Green 31! What are you doing? Stuck in a daze during work hours? When the manager of the tea market saw the crabs all over the ground, he became so angry that he unleashed his whip and struck at Assyria's brother in the arm.
With a swipe, Assyria's brother's hand cracked open, and the new wound and old scar covered the entire arm crookedly, looking shocking.
Assyria's brother just came to his senses, nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I'll clean up right away." ”
The manager of the vegetable market raised his hand unrelentingly, and was about to whip it again, but this time he was stopped by Ji An.
Ji An held the man's wrist tightly, and said with red eyes, "Don't you see that he is already cleaning up?" ”
The man glanced at the mask on Ji An's face, knowing that this was this year's preparatory student, and immediately sneered: "You haven't passed the test yet, so you're so nosy?" If you're condemned as useless, you'd better pray that you won't be assigned to work in the market. ”
Ji An's subordinates exerted their strength, pinched the man's wrist to a rattle before shaking off his hand, and said with a wicked smile: "You are still worried about yourself, I heard that the dreadnoughts can pick any person to be a house slave, if I become a dreadnought, I will bring you back with the whip on your body, what kind of life will you live when you say then?" ”
