Chapter 20: Hidden Bow
Qin Guan carried two stones with a total weight of 160 catties and walked hard in the wind.
The place where he now lives is called Yangguan New Town, and the whole city is mainly made of stone and cement masonry, and underground survival facilities are built according to the proportion of the population.
Around the city, a neat stone and brick city wall was built in imitation of the ideas of ancient urban architecture, which could barely play a role in resisting wind and sand.
Qin Guan's house was in the south of the city, about three kilometers from the city wall to the south.
At this time, the streets were empty, but there was no sense of high ground and wide sky, on the contrary, because of the sandstorm, the wind and sand seemed to pull the entire yellow sky to the ground, and the people were out of breath.
He walked out of the residential area and walked very casually south along the main road with low visibility.
Weight-bearing exercises against the wind are purely self-inflicted, but he really doesn't want to be crammed into such a small room with his parents all day, standing on piles or doing squats under the gaze of his parents;
He didn't want to watch his parents show affection in front of him...... Watch the two of them play an old game that has been cleared more than ten or twenty times.
The distance of about three kilometers is not too far, and Qin Guan is carrying two stones, and he does not feel tired at all.
Soon, Qin Guan looked up and could already see the city wall to the south.
The city wall is built thick and compact, the base is solid, the waist is wide and the ridge is thick, and it stands flat and stable in the wind and sand, but it is a pity that it cannot stop the wind and sand in the sky.
He carried the stones, walked through the cave of the city gate, and came out of the city.
There are also many houses outside the city, with scattered shops, and some experimental greenhouses for growing vegetables and potatoes.
Qin Guan still walked straight along the main road, and after walking for a long time, a figure suddenly appeared in his sight.
Visibility in the sandstorm was low, and by the time he could see a blurred figure, there was only a distance of three or five meters between the two.
Qin Guan was stunned for a moment, stopped in place with the stone on his shoulder, and looked at the figure who suddenly appeared nearby through the windproof glasses.
The other party also seemed to be stunned for a moment, and also stopped, and even reflexively made defensive moves, ready to counterattack at any time.
Qin Guan: "......"
There's no need for this, outside Yangguan New Town, the security is very good, so there's no need to be so vigilant!
Fortunately, the other party seemed to quickly identify Qin Guan's approximate identity, safe and harmless, human, should be a teenager.
Only then did the other party relax slightly, and walked a few steps towards Qin Guan, looking him up and down.
Qin Guan also looked at the other party at the same time, and saw that this person was wearing a very unique black standard power suit, wearing a very high-end one-piece windproof mask on his head, and a black windproof hood on the outside of the mask, covering it tightly, and he couldn't see his face at all.
Moreover, the man was small and did not carry any tools for compressing the wind, and was very delicate in the wind, as if a random gust of wind could blow him away, but he stood steadily, like a needle firmly rooted in the ground, and did not move.
Qin Guan muttered to himself in his heart, what is this person doing? Looks...... It's a little unusual.
As he was thinking, a low and dry voice came out under the high-level windproof mask, and asked Qin Guan, "Who are you?" Why are you here alone? With the wind and sand so big, is there anything you have to do? β
Qin Guan was stunned for a moment, these three tortures were very powerful, in one sentence, he asked all the characters, motives, and events.
The other side seems to have an official background?
But he was not timid in his heart, nor was he entangled in fearing the other party's potential identity, and replied very calmly: "I am a senior student of Chengnan High School in this Yangguan New Town, and I came out to exercise my physical fitness. β
Man in Black: "Exercise? Preparing for the military martial arts exam in the third year of high school? β
Qin Guan: "Yes, there is almost a month to go before the exam, you have to hurry up and exercise, and you can't relax for a day." The place at home is too small, so I can only come out to practice physical fitness. β
"Weight-bearing headwind?" The man in black nodded invisibly, and looked Qin Guan up and down again: "It's good." β
Then he took two more steps forward, and there was only less than a meter of distance between the two.
Close together, they can see each other more clearly, but they still can't see what they look like under the mask.
Qin Guan always stood in place, and also took the initiative to ask, "What about you?" With such a strong wind, you seem to be thinner than me, and you dare to go out for a walk without a pressure stone, are you not afraid of being blown into the sky by the wind? β
The man in black laughed, his laughter was inexplicably crisp, and said, "I'm not the same as you, this little wind is nothing to me." β
Qin Guan: "Oh, then you're amazing. β
The man in black said: "The young man is very good, it is good to be able to come out alone to practice physical fitness on a windy day, I hope to see you again at the military military university after a while." β
Qin Guan: "May I ask you ......?"
The man in black did not shy away from saying directly: "I am an assistant teacher in the special training class of the Military Martial Arts University. β
Qin Guan was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a little surprise: "You are a teacher of the Military Martial University?" β
The teaching assistant doesn't seem to be a formal teacher, but he is also a member of the military, and it's right to call the teacher.
He asked, "You are walking alone in the wind...... Why don't you drive with such a strong wind? β
The man in black hesitated for a moment: "In sandstorm weather, driving is not as convenient as walking, driving is easy to break down, and the wheels will fall into the quicksand." β
"Oh~." Qin Guan nodded, suddenly thought of an important question, seized the opportunity, and asked directly wittily and deadly: "Teacher, there is no one else here, can you give me a thorough understanding of what will be tested this year?" Can you reveal a little bit in advance? Hey~~"
The man in black didn't expect Qin Guan to ask this question directly, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he said in a deep voice with a little seriousness: "Should I say that you are witty or slippery?" Is this called cheating? Besides, the questions are the business of the admissions office, and I can't know the exam questions in advance. β
Qin Guan: "Oh, that's a pity, I thought that God saw me working hard and going out to work a windy day, so he gave me an adventure from heaven." β
The man in black laughed very restrained again: "You kid, it's a little interesting." Don't worry, with your current state, it should be no problem to take the military and martial arts exams, and when the time comes, you can rest assured and bold to take the exam in your normal state, remember to apply for the special training class after the exam, we need flexible and self-motivated students like you. β
Qin Guan: "Oh. "Listening to this, is it optimistic about yourself and thinking that you will definitely be able to pass the exam?
After the man in black finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but turned back and asked, "By the way, I forgot to ask, what is your name?" β
"My name is Qin Guan, the closed door is not an observation view." He's always used to introducing himself like that.
"Qin ...... Off, good name, I remembered. I hope to see you at the Military Academy, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. By the way, don't mention to others that you met me, it won't do you any good. β
"Oh, understood." Qin Guan didn't really understand, and nodded as if he didn't understand, but he still agreed.
Qin Guan watched the man in black leave, only to see that he walked very steadily in the wind, and walked directly to the east, not planning to enter the city, just passing by outside the city.
Seeing that the figure of the man in black was quickly blurred in the wind and sand, Qin Guan carried the 160-pound stone on his shoulder, and found a remote and sheltered corner nearby, he planned to return to the grass house world to rest for a while, and eat something by the way.
Only then did he think that he had forgotten to ask the man in black what his name was.
Maybe the man in black didn't intend to tell him at all, so he didn't give him a chance to ask.
β¦β¦
After the black-clothed man with the code name Zang Bow walked more than a dozen steps away, he silently thought in his heart: Qin ~ Guan, a good name, reminds people of what the master said, an ancient poem on the earth, "Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Guan".
This name is very easy to remember, this young man will definitely be able to be admitted to the Military Military University, although I didn't see his appearance clearly, but I know his name, I know his height and voice, and most importantly, this young man seems to have the special talent mentioned by the master, and when I see him again in the future, he shouldn't recognize the wrong person.
Just now, I wanted Qin Guan to go directly to the senior brother after entering the school, but after thinking about it, forget it, there is no need, if he is really good, then he can naturally enter the special training class.
It's a pity that I have to go to the lost land to carry out a secret mission this time, which is full of dangers, and I don't know how long it will take to come back; As for whether it will be injured or dead~, it is also unknown, in short, it should not be able to catch up with this year's military enrollment and entrance placement test.
If you can successfully complete the task and come back smoothly, when the time comes, let's talk about this matter to the master again, even if Qin Guan is not assigned to the special training class, it will not be too late to find him again when the time comes.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Qin Guan leaned against the corner of the remote sheltered wall, put the two storm pressing stones on the ground, and entered the grass world.
He clicked on the [Experience] - {World} icon, and wanted to enter Tang'an City three years ago, but found that under Tang'an City, there was a new map option.
γAncient Kingdom of the Sand Seaγ
What's going on? Why is there a new map suddenly appearing out of thin air?
