Chapter 142: Stealing Half a Day's Leisure
Fox hunting in the jungle is a kind of military exchange activity jointly organized by the five countries of Xia, Maozi, Island, Bangzi and Goryeo. Each nation can send nine team members to participate, and the specific test is the combat ability of the team members in the dense forest.
The competition is held once a year for 10 days, and two teams are code-named foxes, and the other three teams are hunters. The same side is not allowed to attack each other, and the two sides can play against the opponent alone, or they can cooperate against the opponent, but the score of cooperation is far less than defeating the opponent alone, so there is little cooperation in the past.
Although it is stipulated that there can be no fatalities in battle, casualties are inevitable because of the cruelty of war. As a soldier, I don't care about casualties anymore, but pay more attention to the exercise in the activity and the honor brought by passing the competition.
Originally, Sunan had the hope of being selected for this year's competition, but it was because of the hostage incident that he was forced to retire from the army, and naturally lost that opportunity.
"Mr. Ming, why did you suddenly ask this question?" Sunan was a little puzzled, although he had a conjecture, but even he didn't believe it.
"In this competition, the army proposes to let you participate." Mr. Ming didn't go around in circles, and directly picked out the topic.
"How is this possible?" Sunan was stunned, a little pleased, and a little disbelieving. I have been discharged from the army and no longer belong to the military, how can the army still think of myself? He didn't think that a talented army would not be able to select even these nine men.
"That's true." Mr. Ming explained, "Your military quality can be found in the files of the troops, and you are fully qualified to participate, and more importantly, it is after the troops learned about your medical skills that they made this suggestion."
You must know that in previous years' competitions, our soldiers will always have a few sacrifices, although those who pass the competition will become our core strength after returning to the army, but those soldiers who died are also our major losses. It's hard to see someone who is both a warrior and a doctor, and you are, and if you go to this competition, even if you can save one more warrior, it will be a major victory. ”
Originally, Sunan regretted that he could not participate in this competition, but now that he heard that he still had the opportunity to participate again, of course he immediately agreed.
"Okay, Xiao Su, the country also knows that since you have been discharged from the army, it is really too much to ask you to participate in this competition. So the state promised you that you could make an unreasonable request, and you could say whatever you wanted. In order to make Sunan go willingly, Mr. Ming threw out a tempting and confusing condition.
Make a condition to the state. Sunan didn't expect such a thing, and he really didn't know what to mention for a while. "Mr. Ming, can you keep this condition in mind first, and then mention it when I think of a suitable one later?"
"Of course you can, but it's only given you half a year, and if it expires, it means that you give up."
"Okay." Sunan agreed.
"I asked someone to arrange a place for you to stay, and someone will look for you at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and then take you to the capital garrison to report for duty, and after you meet the other team members there, you will set off directly." Mr. Ming confessed again.
Hearing what Mr. Ming said, Sunan got up and said goodbye. After following Director Wang out, Director Wang handed him over to a guard who had been waiting there for a long time. Although he was only a security guard, he was not at a low level because he was responsible for the security of these former national leaders. is only a few years older than Sunan, and he is already with the rank of colonel.
Nodding at Sunan, the guard's face was still grim. Sunan didn't care either, he knew that these guards often had to tense their nerves because of the importance of their tasks, and this kind of cold face was their normal reaction.
The place where Sunan stayed was a guest house in the garrison area of the capital, although it looked ordinary on the outside, it was very luxuriously decorated inside. And it's heavily guarded, so ordinary people don't have a chance to live in it.
After completing the formalities for accommodation, Sunan asked the people from the guest house to help him get a temporary pass. After all, he is still a young man's surname, and he finally came to the capital for a trip, and he didn't want to just sit here.
It's just noon, and Sunan has already decided to go out for lunch first, and then take a casual stroll.
This guest house in the Beijing garrison is located near West Fourth Street, which can be said to be one of the most prosperous areas in the capital. There was also lunch in the guest house, but Sunan did not eat at the guest house. Because he heard someone say that there are many distinctive restaurants on the nearby North Sea. Going there, sitting by the window, and enjoying the scenery outside and eating at the same time, is a double thing.
After inquiring about the way, Sunan went straight to Beihai. Although it is not far, it is nearly half an hour away by walking, and when Sunan arrives, it is already almost a little bit, just after the peak of lunch, and many restaurants have empty seats.
Sunan picked a seat and walked in by the window, and after asking the waiter to introduce their signature dishes, Sunan ordered three from these signature dishes and asked for a bottle of wine, which could be regarded as self-pouring.
In the end, it was said that the dream was wrong, and suddenly I heard that the spring was strong and mountaineer. Because of the words of the monks in the bamboo courtyard, he stole half a life and was idle.
Since arriving in Pucheng, although it is no longer as nervous as in the army, there has always been something to do, and there is no time to stop. Even if he went out with Ning Yu to travel to Jiucungou to relax, he was looking for beautiful scenery everywhere, tired and happy. It's really like today, nothing is going on, just to spend this afternoon, and it's really not like that.
Seeing that Sunan was eating well, Blaze began to be unhappy on his shoulder, and shouted at him a few times, showing curiosity about the dishes on the table.
Now that Blaze recognizes Sunan as the master, after Sunan's cultivation, it has become conscious. It's an item that Sunan didn't let it move, and it won't eat it. This is also in order to prevent Flame from not telling himself after finding the elixir, and eat by himself first, which would be a waste of the elixir.
After the elixir is matched, the elixir prepared is several times or even more than ten times the medicinal power of the elixir itself, and Sunan certainly doesn't want the flames to waste the elixir in vain. And after Blaze had eaten the body strengthening pill prepared by Sunan with the spirit shell outside the Ganjiang Mo Evil, as well as the Huiqi Pill prepared with the five-colored fruit, of course, he also knew that the taste of the pill was several times better than just eating medicinal herbs. So after Sunan taught him a few times, I began to listen to him.
Seeing that Flame showed interest in those dishes, Sunan laughed twice, picked out a few green vegetable leaves from them, and brought them to Flame's mouth, and after taking a wine glass and pouring wine, he also handed it over.
After eating a few bites and taking a sip of wine, the flames chirped a few times, and they were even more excited. A health pill, Sunan can feel twice as strong as he eats it, not to mention that Blaze is still a palm-sized bird. Its body is stronger than that of Sunan, and its mouth can even peck through a three-centimeter-thick wooden plank, and drinking these few sips of wine will not affect it at all.
Flame is a spirit devouring bird, and it originally likes to peck at elixirs, and after turning on the spirit intelligence, it is much stronger than ordinary birds in terms of appearance and smart surname.
A bird like a flame rested on Sunan's shoulder, which was already enough to attract attention, and now Sunan is leisurely feeding the birds here, which is even more eye-catching.
"Young man, you are such a good bird, do you plan to give it away, how about giving it to me?" An old man couldn't help it, paced to Sunan's side, bent down slightly, and looked at the flames for a while before speaking.
"I'm sorry, old man, but this bird is my friend, and I won't give it away." Sunan smiled and refused, this was something he had finally found. He asked Yu Rong, Yu Rong, who had been living in Mogan Mountain, had never seen the Spirit Devouring Bird, so it was conceivable how lucky he was to encounter the flames as soon as Sunan arrived in Mogan Mountain.
Hearing Sunan's refusal, the old man showed a disappointed look, but he was still unwilling, and he didn't care about Sunan's disgust, so he sat directly opposite him, staring at the flames with his eyes. "What is the name of this bird, young man, how come I have never seen such a bird?"
"This ...... I don't know. After a moment's hesitation, Sunan didn't say the name of the Spirit Eater. He once asked Feng Bo'an, Feng Bo'an was well-informed, and often went out to collect medicine, he had also never seen the Spirit Eater Bird, and he had also heard of this name, which made Sunan feel that the origin of the Spirit Eater Bird was not simple.
Moreover, the name of the Spirit Eater Bird suddenly appeared in his mind when Blaze recognized him as the master, or it was his own subconscious name for this kind of bird, how could he use his own name to directly name this bird.
Hearing that Sunan didn't know, the old man became even more interested, watched around the flames, and finally said to Sunan in surprise, "Young man, your bird may be a new breed." I'm not bragging, old man, there are really few birds in this world that I don't know. Now I can assure you that this bird has never been seen before. ”
Seeing that Sunan didn't think so, the old man was a little anxious, "Young man, why haven't you understood yet?" This has discovered a new species of bird, which is of great scientific significance and a source of pride for our country, so I think you should donate this bird for us to do research. ”
Hearing the old man's words, Sunan's brows furrowed. Just now, I felt that I was stealing half a life, and in the blink of an eye, there was trouble to find me.
Flame also seemed to understand what the old man said, and originally had an indifferent attitude towards him looking around him, just standing proudly on Sunan's shoulder, letting the old man watch, but now the old man said that, but he didn't let it, his body was down, his wings were half open, and the hair on his neck was also standing up, and he was about to rush to the old man.
Sunan hurriedly stopped it, if he let the flames rush over, it would be no less harmful than shooting at the old man, how could he still be alive?
"I'm sorry, old man, Blaze is my friend, and I won't donate it. And I think the focus of your research should not be on these unknown birds, but on those animals that are already known to be on the verge of extinction by humans. ”
