Chapter 26: Questioning

Listening to Yu Jianshu's question, Zhao Yu raised his head and looked up. However, he couldn't answer the coach's question at the first time, and the hardships of the past few days can not be summed up in a few words.

Yu Jianshu should have seen Zhao Yu's thoughts, and he didn't ask quickly, he just added: "You don't have to worry, think about what happened?"

"Hungry! what's going on?" Zhao Yu tilted his head, trying his best to remember.

"What have you been through in the last three days? I don't mean anything else, but you were able to climb up from such a rushing river and run so far into the woods. You know what? You're almost running to the town of Jiaoshan next door. I'm curious how you've survived in the woods for the past three days?"

Hungry! this ...... Zhao Yu remembered that he had just fallen into the river, and then struggled in the river, and then ......

He suddenly thought of the old man whose face was like the bark of a dead tree. After climbing to the shore, he communicated with this old man, and he also gave Zhao Yu a package and a magic staff. By the way, there's that 'thing'.

A breath of breath came from Zhao Yu's throat and instantly pulled into his chest. His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

The most important 'thing' in the old man's mouth is the black covered document bag. Zhao Yu remembered that he finally stuffed it into his clothes. His hand pressed quickly on his left chest, and when he touched the protrusion that was indeed out of harmony, his heart suddenly calmed down. But after all, he was not sure, and then he put his hand into the clothes again, and when his fingers pinched the feeling like an envelope, he was completely calm.

That document was not lost, and Zhao Yu knew that he was not ashamed of his grandfather's TOEFL.

"What's wrong with you, is your body itchy?" Yu Jianshu looked a little strange when he saw Zhao Yu's series of movements.

"Oh! Zhao Yu pulled out the hand that was stretched out in his clothes.

"So what happened to you? Don't think I'm nosy, because you can rest assured if you know why. ”

Yu Jianshu's words made Li Yuan and his mother both nod.

"If you don't think there's a direction, then I'll give you a reminder - after you fell from the bottom of the cliff into the river, you must have been washed downstream, and then?" Yu Jianshu spread out his hands, and the frame of the dead fish eyes completely turned into a spherical shape, "How did you climb ashore from such a turbulent river? How did you survive in the woods after you climbed ashore? Also, where did you go at that time? How many roads did you walk to the northeast of the woods?"

Yu Jianshu's question shot like a repeating crossbow, it really echoed the characteristics of his archer Zhao Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned. In fact, even if others don't ask these questions, Zhao Yu should make a summary later. But if he was suddenly asked by others, he didn't know where to start for a while.

However, there was one thing that impressed him the most, and that was that he actually met an old man by the forest. It can be said that the old grandfather is the most important core of the whole experience, because it was when he met the old grandfather that Zhao Yu could survive the rescue of the people in the same town.

"At that time, I struggled in the river for a long time, and then ......"

Zhao Yu was about to talk about his experience at a glance, but suddenly realized a very serious problem. I remember that the old grandfather once solemnly told Zhao Yu that he was not allowed to mention to anyone that he had met him, and he was absolutely not allowed to show the letters he handed over to anyone, except for a female swordsman named Shen Mengting.

In other words, Zhao Yu must hide his experience, otherwise the old man's affairs will definitely be leaked.

"Hungry...... And then ...... I came across a reef, and I climbed ashore on it. ”

"Really?" Yu Jianshu frowned. He looked up at the ceiling of the room, "What about after that? What happened to you when you climbed ashore?"

Zhao Yu lowered his head and scratched his sideburns next to his temples, "I've been wandering in the woods since then." ”

"Just wandering around for three days?"

"Hey, hey, hey! People have just escaped and are still in shock? You ask like this?" Li Yuan patted Yu Jianshu's arm with his backhand, signaling him not to be too strong.

Yu Jianshu spread his hands again, "This can't be helped, it's good for everyone to figure things out." ”

In order not to be suspected, Zhao Yu stared closely at Yu Jianshu's dead fish eyes. "When I got ashore, I was terrified. I wanted to go back to the place where I fell into the water along the riverbank, but I was blocked by a waterfall. Then I tried to go around the woods next to me, but I got lost. ”

"Really?"

"After I got lost, I was anxious to find a way out in the woods, but I couldn't find the way, and my body became weaker and weaker. I thought I was going to die, but in the end, Coach Li Yuan found me and shouted for me to wake up. ”

Li Yuan nodded his head on the side, meaning that what Zhao Yu said was correct.

Mother Sun Yanli also showed a trace of sadness, and stepped forward to stroke Zhao Yu's head. The child was really suffering, and her expression was full of pity for her son.

"Oh, that's right!" Yu Jianshu seemed to be thoughtful after hearing this. After a long time, he lowered the tip of his nose again, and put his arms together with both hands, "You haven't met anyone in three days?"

"I haven't seen it. ”

"Okay, let me ask another question. Yu Jianshu tilted his head, obviously thinking about something, "After we found you, we also found that you were carrying a package and a magic staff. Where did these things come from? Because as far as we could do later, we found that the package was full of magicians' books. We asked your mother, and she said that your family had never been exposed to the profession of magician, let alone studied books and staffs. So where do these things come from?"

Yu Jianshu's question was like a sharp sword piercing into his chest, and Zhao Yu's heart couldn't help but stir quickly. He looked around and saw that the rest of the people were also looking like they didn't know why. They all seemed to be looking forward to Zhao Yu's answer.

Zhao Yu tried his best to slow down his breathing, he grinded the hem of his pants on his thighs, and sniffed a few more times. Soon, he got the answer he wanted.

"This ...... I picked it up in the woods. Zhao Yu scratched his nose with his index finger, "I was very anxious after I got lost, because I didn't bring food and water at all. But only half a day later, I saw this package under a tree. When I opened the package, I found that it was filled with dry food and water. That's why I was able to hold out until you came to save me. As for that...... It's a stick, right? I found it next to the package. At first, I was thinking about whether this stick could fight wild beasts, so I took it with me. ”

After saying this in one breath, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. It turned out that he had become so good at lying, and he laughed at himself.

Yu Jianshu didn't seem to believe it completely, he squinted his eyes and pinched his chin with one hand, "Did you pick it up......?" Why are there mage's packages and staffs in the woods?"

"Oh! That's right!" Zhao Yu suddenly raised a finger, "In the vicinity of the package, I also saw the corpse of a person. He was just lying on the ground, and I wondered if the package was his. ”

"Corpses, weren't you scared at the time?" asked Sun Yanli anxiously.

"I was very scared at the time, but at that time it was already at the point of exhaustion, I had nothing to eat or water to drink, and after seeing the package, I didn't care about the three phases and two and took it for myself. After all, I don't want to starve to death!"

Zhao Yu only felt that he was getting better at bragging, and his breathing was speeding up uncontrollably. However, on second thought, he had indeed seen corpses in the woods, and that the parcel and staff had been entrusted to him by the 'corpse' before he died. Of course, the reason why he kept lying was also what the 'corpse' wanted, and he needed help to hide the fact that he had met.

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Yu's sense of guilt also decreased.

"Well, if it's next to a corpse, then it's easy to explain. "Coach Li Yuan is like helping to do 'assists'. I saw that his right hand was in the shape of a pistol, and it was all embedded in his chin, "There have been precedents before when strangers came to this woods and got lost and died. So I think this kid was also lucky enough to pick up supplies for a victim. ”

"Then if that's the case, who is this 'corpse'?" Yu Jianshu shook his arm at Li Yuan.

Zhao Yu kept blinking his eyes blankly, and to be honest, he was really full of chill for Coach Yu Jianshu's spirit of digging into the roots.

"How can I possibly know who the 'corpse' is? I don't know how many unknown people come in this forest every month, and the devil knows what their purpose and intentions are. Besides, didn't there be people from other towns who came to the woods and got lost and died? Also, when we were testing in the suburbs, didn't we meet a few members of the garden survey team? Why are you paying attention to this?"

"I just wanted to get things straight. Yu Jianshu said in a heavy sentence. Then, he lowered his voice and asked Zhao Yu, "That kid, do you still remember where you picked up the package when you first picked it up?"

"Of course people don't remember. What about the large woods?" Li Yuan shook his legs casually.

Zhao Yu's answer was also highly consistent with Coach Li Yuan, "I don't remember, the forest is so big, I don't know where I went?"

Yu Jianshu seemed to have a feeling that he couldn't ask. He was a little stunned, trying to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

"Hey, I said you can do it too! The kids just came back and are about to rest!"

Yu Jianshu was stared at by Li Yuanshu.

"Yes, too. If you have any questions, you can also ask them in the trial ground later!" Liang Chaowei expressed his opinion on the side. Because he is a student, he is still a little lacking in confidence when facing the coach.

But Yu Jianshu did not refute, but nodded in acceptance.

"Then the two coaches, what should we do with this package and staff?" asked Mother Sun Yanli politely.

Coach Li Yuan let out a long 'um-......' sound, "We still don't know who its owner is, and we can't identify the identity of the 'corpse', so it's really difficult for us to do it now." ”

"And if you give it to us, we'll have to tell the mayor of the town that we'll take it if he agrees. So I think...... Let's put it in your home first!" Yu Jianshu seemed to be making a supplement.

Zhao Yu took turns to look at the two coaches. Mom didn't say she was going to hand it over to you, so you just thought it was a 'hot potato'.

"Okay, then let's put it in our house for the time being! If that dead magician has relatives and they come to Vortex to find us, we can just give it to him!"

The three of them nodded together. It seems that everything has been spoken, and it is time to say goodbye. Sure enough, the two coaches said they were going home, and their mother sent them outside the house herself.

It was really not early, and Zhao Yu saw a fiery red scene outside the window. Dusk was coming again, he licked his lips and thought.

Zha Hongliang and Liang Chaowei, who were left, were mixed with Zhao Yuhan, and they encouraged him to be stronger, and also said how anxious his mother had been in recent days. Zhao Yu couldn't calm down in his heart when he heard it.

"I'm sorry to bother you, thank you. If I hadn't been accompanied by two coaches these days, I wouldn't have known how to face the fact that our Xiao Yu had disappeared. ”

After Sun Yanli sent the coach out of the door, he didn't forget to bow and thank him.

The two coaches shook their heads and said it didn't matter. Coach Li Yuan also added something about the trial.

"He has just returned home, and he must be still in a state of shock! Just give him a few days off! He won't have to go to tomorrow's trial. ”

Sun Yanli bowed straight and said words of thanks. said goodbye again, and the two left Zhao Yu's house.

The matter of the student falling into the river and disappearing is finally over. The two coaches walked side by side on the side of the road. After walking for a while, neither of them made a sound.

But after turning about two streets, Li Yuan still couldn't help it. He looked directly at Yu Jianshu next to him.

"Hey, I said, Ah, why were you so perverse just now?" and kept asking the kid questions. Why, don't you trust that kid so much?"

Yu Jianshu glanced at his eyes after hearing this. He was silent for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders: "It's not that I don't distrust him. But...... Don't you think it's strange that a kid with little to no experience in the wild can survive in that woods for three days. Also, the package and the staff, do you really believe that he picked it up?"

"Maybe it's good luck, or maybe it's hidden? As for the package and the staff, it doesn't matter how he got it!

"Heh!" Yu Jianshu turned his face in other directions with disdain, "Regarding your previous sentence, I just want to say that you believe it yourself? Who are you in the swordsman class, you don't have any points in your heart? If you can really survive in the wild, you won't even be able to pass the assessment of junior swordsmen?"

"Oh, you don't open a pot and pull this pot!"

"And that package. I'm afraid there's something hidden in it. If this is the case, the safety of the mother and child will be tested. ”

"Huh?

"Didn't you see it yourself just now?" Yu Jianshu's posture changed to a back-handed appearance, he straightened his chest and quickened his pace, "Judging from the content of that package, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary person." The books in it are also at the level of advanced magicians. And that staff, it doesn't seem to be a common thing. I'm afraid that kid is hiding something from us?"

"yes, I think it's very strange for you to say that. Judging from the books and staffs, the magician in his possession must not be an ordinary person. But at what level is he?"

"I'm guessing it's intermediate. Oh no, senior...... It could also be higher, in short, it can't be an idle person. ”

"It's not an idle person!" Li Yuan looked straight ahead. The sight was suspended in the air, and it was thoughtful.

"One more point. Remember what you said before?" Yu Jianshu clasped his arms in his hands, as if thinking fiercely, "You said that when you were searching for that child in the woods, you happened to see a fierce light source flying into the air. And then it suddenly dispersed, like that kind of celebratory firecracker. And it's because of this miracle that you can run through and find the child. ”

"Ah......h Could it have something to do with that kid? Oops...... I really can't figure it out!" Li Yuan began to grapple with his head, he rarely noticed how messy his hairstyle was today, "There are too many strange things." ”

"That's why I have so many questions!"

"So what do we do next? What if there's something going on in there?"

"What else can I do? That kid belongs to your swordsman class, so you should pay attention to him in the future in the trial. ”

Instructed by Yu Jianshu like this, Li Yuan shook his hand and said the words 'know and know'. There were too many questions, and Li Yuan simply didn't think about it.

It's just that a strange thought suddenly popped up from Li Yuan's mind, and he took the opportunity to glance at Yu Jianshu next to him.

"But then again!" Li Yuan suddenly approached Yu Jianshu, and he also tapped his companion's arm with his elbow, "Hey, since those books are all at the level of advanced magicians, why don't you take them for yourself?" You know, we will never be able to afford those books!"

Yu Jianshu was very surprised at first, he turned his head to look at Li Yuan, and found that this person was now smiling a little shyly.

"What are you talking about? Is it useful for us to take it for ourselves? You don't know the profession of magician! If you don't have some background at home, you dare to study? Don't spend a lot of energy and then achieve nothing. Besides, I've been learning archery for so many years, how can I change it? I'll be honest and feel at ease as an archer!"

After saying these words, Yu Jianshu also shot a disdainful look at Li Yuan, "I think you are also honest, it is not bad to be a swordsman." Don't be whimsical. ”

Regarding Yu Jianshu's criticism, Li Yuan kept nodding. He also touched his neck with his backhand and forcibly shook it a few times, "I know, I know! Alas! You said these days! I am miserable! The mayor of the town gave me a lecture, saying that I was not responsible for the students. I just want to ask, you're the responsible? I don't even have a trace of you old stuff when I go out and look for it. ”

"Leaders are like this, and you don't know it. Anyway......" Yu Jianshu let out an extremely strong accent, "That kid is back now, and the matter is over." As long as I don't think too much, nothing will happen in the future. We'll leave the package and staff alone. ”

"If nothing happens, what will their family do with those magicians' things? Just throw them away? Anyway, these things are useless to people like them. ”

"What their family will do with it, that's their business. We just don't guarantee that something will happen. ”

"Yes. ”

Li Yuan deeply agreed with Yu Jianshu's remarks of 'just promise not to have an accident'.

The two coaches did not talk much about Zhao Yu's disappearance in the future, but instead talked about their own private affairs. In a chatting conversation, they walked off into the distance.

As for Zhao Yu's home, not long after Sun Yanli sent off the two coaches, the rest of the people saw that it was getting late, and they also left one by one. A few well-wishers from the neighborhood prepared many rich delicacies for their family to celebrate Zhao Yu's escape. Sun Yanli is grateful for this.

There are also Zhao Yu's two friends, after a few encouragement strokes, they quickly became one.

After about six o'clock, all the people who should have gone were gone. In the house, only Zhao Yu and his mother were left.

Mother was still cooking outside, and the movement seemed to be a little loud. However, Zhao Yu, who was half-lying on the bed with his back leaning on the head of the bed, always cast his eyes to the window.

Outside the window, there was a sporadic moonlight shining slightly, but beyond that, it was pitch black. This made Zhao Yu feel a little lonely. This also corresponds to the home that was still very lively just now, but now it is a cold appearance in the sub-courtyard.

There was a sudden sound of the door being pushed, and the half-open wooden door was pushed up to the wall by the mother.

"Zhao Yu. ”

Zhao Yu looked at his mother standing at the door, and replied with the word 'mother' in a daze.

Then, what happened next was something he didn't expect. His mother suddenly ran up to him and pounced on him. In an instant, Zhao Yu was hugged tightly by his mother.
