Chapter 5: Xiang Liu'er
"Okay, you sit down first, that's right, this is indeed the era of warriors."
"Humanity in this era is unlucky, but it is fortunate for the strong." Old man Li's voice was a little embarrassed, "But I believe it will get better and better, as the number of martial artists continues to increase, it will take a day for human beings to no longer have to huddle in the safety of a turtle shell, I hope I can live to the day when I blow the horn of counterattack." ”
As Old Man Li said, now the outside is the world of strange beasts, and Huaxia has urgently built 34 safe cities based on the original provincial capitals, municipalities directly under the central government, and special administrative regions, and isolated the outside world with towering walls, forming the last 34 pure lands of the Chinese people.
The situation in Huaxia is not bad, like Dongying, which is surrounded by the sea, under the impact of sea beasts, there is now only one Tokyo Safe City left struggling to support.
……
On the school's training ground, Xiang Chen completed the afternoon training with sweat and rain. At present, the high school curriculum is mainly concentrated in the morning, and the afternoon is the practice of martial arts, and students can stay in school to participate in the group martial arts classes organized by the school, or they can arrange their own martial arts classes, which is not mandatory.
In the past, Xiang Chen would choose to go to the Nanjing Dojo for training, but he was really in no mood to go over when he was just fired, compared to it, even if he would be pointed at by some students in school training, he didn't care.
Drip!
SMS alerts for mobile phones.
"Brother, come and pick me up from school later! Let's go back together in the evening. ”
Even though his mood fell to a low point, Xiang Chen still showed a smile when he saw his sister's text message. lost his eldest brother, and now he spoils this only sister even more to the bone. Even if he was exhausted now, he wouldn't say no to his sister's request.
Changing out of his sweat-soaked training clothes, Xiang Chen walked out of the school gate with his bag on his back, took out his car keys, and stepped onto the pitch-black motorcycle parked in the school parking lot.
patted his old partner who had been with him for three years, and Xiang Chen was a little embarrassed. Even if he was hit at the beginning, Xiang Chen didn't sell him.
In fact, the main reason is that the value retention rate of motorcycles is too low!
Xiang Chen drove into the city center, where the prosperity and martial arts level were significantly higher than those in the southwest area, and of course, the consumption level was also a cut higher.
Because most of the cities in the provinces have become a paradise for exotic beasts in today's era, only the provincial capital city has built a safe city for people to live in, and after nearly 50 years of recuperation, the human population on the earth has recovered to about one-third of the old era, it can be said that the living space of individuals is indeed small compared to the past.
As a direct result, housing prices are too high for most families to afford. Business employees like Xiang Chen's parents can hardly afford even a small house in the city center. So the family of four can now only live in an ordinary apartment in the southwest district.
Xiang Chen slowly parked the car at the gate of a majestic school.
Nanjing No. 1 High School!
This is the best high school in the entire Nanjing Safety City, in which there are countless masters, and quasi-martial artists can only be regarded as ordinary here, and even the number of martial artists is not a few.
"Brother!"
In the distance, with the crowd of people who got out of class at five o'clock in the afternoon, three girls came in the distance. One of the girls, whose hair was chestnut and slightly curled, and was scattered on her back like a waterfall, waved at Xiang Chen from afar.
The girl's name is Xiang Liu'er, and she is Xiang Chen's younger sister. Her facial features are beautiful, her eyes are longing, and she is as agile as an elf. When I saw Xiang Chen, it was bent like a crescent moon, revealing a flattery, and the slightly contradictory feeling made people firmly attracted at first sight.
The wings of the nose are very erect and the skin is fair. Xiang Liu'er is very tall, about 1.7 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure, not at all like an 18-year-old girl. Xiang Liu'er couldn't see the appearance of being born in an ordinary family at all, even if she was wearing the most ordinary school uniform with a white shirt and a small plaid skirt, she seemed to be born in a big family.
This is a very attractive girl.
Xiang Liu'er trotted two steps and threw herself into Xiang Chen's arms, almost smashing Xiang Chen off the motorcycle, so she had to turn sideways and spread her hands around her sister's waist.
"You girl, how old are you, and you're still doing this." Xiang Chen was also a little helpless, but there was still a strong doting between the words. The brother and sister are only one year old, and they are both in the same grade, and Xiang Liuer has been very close to Xiang Chen since he was a child. It wasn't until high school that Xiang Liuer, who had better grades, entered the first high school, and the two went to school separately.
The two were chatting, and the two girls who were with Xiang Liu'er also approached. As the saying goes, like gathers like, these two girls are more than one meter six or five, and they are not common beauties. One is a bit eccentric, the other has blue eyes, black hair, and the delicate skin of an Asian, but has the straight facial features of a European.
This girl named Alice is a half-breed.
In fact, mixed-race children are indeed very common in today's era, because when the disaster broke out, many people were traveling, and they could not return to their homeland after the disaster, so naturally they could only go with the flow.
"Suzu, Alice." Xiang Chen said hello, and his sister's two best friends were not strangers.
"Brother Xiang Chen." Alice's face was slightly red, and her eyes were a little evasive, it was obvious that she did not have the kind of European openness and enthusiasm in front of Xiang Chen.
On the contrary, Sun Ling, the quirky girl on the other side, was very open, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang Chen, as soon as I see you Alice, I can't walk, hehe." ”
To tell the truth, although Xiang Chen is not as handsome as Ji Songshi, he is indeed very tasteful, and he has a very unique temperament that is very casual about everything. Coupled with the fact that he is the brother of Alice's best friend Xiang Liuer, this mixed-race girl has always had a great impression of Xiang Chen.
"Stinky girl, I'm going to kill you!" Alice reached out to grab Sun Ling, but was deftly dodged by the other party.
"Hey, hey." Xiang Chen scratched his head, he was really not good at this, even if Alice was really beautiful, he didn't have that idea, after all, he was his sister's best friend, if he really had any thoughts about Alice, he was afraid that he would be laughed at by Xiang Liu'er.
"I won't tell you two, let's go first." Xiang Liu'er stepped into the back seat of the climb race and waved at the two sisters.
"Wait!" At this time, while a few people were talking, a few boys from No. 1 Middle School came over. With the appearance of Xiang Liu'er and the three of them, even in the middle school where the heroes gather, it is the existence of the stars holding the moon, and several people surrounded a man on a motorcycle at the school gate, which had already caused many people to be dissatisfied, and finally a few people couldn't help but stand up.
"What's the matter?" Xiang Chen said a little lazily.
Even if he is a senior high school student at the same time, Xiang Chen's experience and setbacks over the years have already opened up a gap between his mentality and his peers, and he is really a little too lazy to pay attention to this kind of jealousy of little boys.
"What are you, why did you let Liu'er get into your car?" The leader was aggressive, and looked down at Xiang Chen on the motorcycle with eyes that he thought were enough to be eyeballed. "Do you really think you're a biker on a broken motorcycle?"
Xiang Chen ignored him, but turned to look at his sister who was hugging his waist, and asked, "Liu'er, your friend?" ”
Xiang Liu'er hurriedly shook his head, stuck out his little tongue and whispered, "How can there be, a second ancestor, has been pursuing me." ”
Oh, Xiang Chen didn't say much, and he didn't look at these young people anymore, slammed the accelerator, and disappeared at the door of No. 1 Middle School with Xiang Liu'er.
He wasn't in the mood to talk nonsense with these irrelevant people at this time
……
"Poof." Sun Ling couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. The cute appearance caused the crowd of onlookers to let out a wolf howl.
The leading man who was ignored shook the watch worth more than 100,000 yuan on his wrist, his face was a little ugly, he snorted angrily, and looked back at Alice who was watching the play on the side.
"Alice, are you free tonight, I'm having a party at home, do you want to come and play together?"
"Well, I'll forget it..."Alice even refused, pulling Sun Ling and hurriedly leaving the school gate.
……
At this time, Xiang Chen had parked his motorcycle under an ordinary residential building, a 30-story high-rise building in the Lishui community, which was also Xiang Chen's home.
In order to save land, most of the places are close to each other, except for luxurious villas and high-end communities.
Xiang Chen's house is on the thirtieth floor of the top floor, but fortunately, there is an elevator installed in the building. The reason why the 30th floor was chosen at the beginning was also because the young Xiao Xiangchen showed great thirst for the rooftop that came with the top floor. That's why Xiang Chen's father gritted his teeth and took out some more money to buy this top-floor apartment.
clicked, took the key to open the door, and Xiang Chen and Xiang Liu'er walked into the house one after another.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back with Liu'er."
"I'm back." A middle-aged woman walked out of the kitchen, although there were some traces of age on her face, but it could be seen that she was also a beautiful and gentle woman when she was young. On the other side, there was also an elegant middle-aged man sitting in the living room. They are the parents of Xiang Chen and the others, Xiang Fan and Chu Qing.
Xiang Chen's parents are enlightened.
Even the past three years have not been easy for these two middle-aged people who are nearly half a hundred years old.
First, the second son's temperament changed inexplicably, and then Xiang Chen, who was given high hopes, began to stagnate, and then the eldest son, who had been in contact with the family every month, disappeared completely, and was declared dead by the police two years after reporting his disappearance.
The successive blows made Xiang Fan's originally complacent black hair turn snow-white.
Even so, they never criticized Xiang Chen, they just hoped that he could grow up healthy.
"Quick, put things down first. Don't keep carrying your knife. Chu Qing put down the dishes and chopsticks, served the fragrant meal, and beckoned the family to eat.
"Old Xiang, come and eat."
"Hehe, here it is, I smell it, it's like my favorite salted chicken. Yes, yes, wife, you really understand me. Xiang Fan put down the newspaper, got up and walked happily to the table.
Not wanting to ruin the dinner this time of family reunion, Xiang Chen didn't say anything about what happened at school today and his dismissal, but just beat his spirits and spent a laughing dinner with his family.
