Chapter 11: The Traveler's Assessment
Wang Jingnian fell asleep after returning to his residence, probably because it was more energy-consuming to deal with that group of vampire butterflies, Wang Qiu looked at the sunset outside the window, or put on his coat and decided to go out for a walk.
The pedestrians on the road are in twos and threes, Wang Qiu walks along the smooth cement road, the two sides of the road are full of unknown flowers, the orange-yellow afterglow in the sky is hyped, and the evening air has a hint of coolness, which is really very pleasant.
"Hey!" It seems to hear something. Wang Qiu stopped and looked around.
"Hey! Impolite human imps! When Wang Qiu looked down, he found that his toes had stepped on other people's robes. Wait a minute, robes? Continuing to look along the robe, I saw a strange-looking little man trying to pull the hem of the robe, trying to pull the hem out of Wang Qiu's feet.
"I'm sorry." Wang Qiu hurriedly retracted his foot, and as soon as the villain exerted his strength, he immediately fell on his heels.
The villain gasped for breath, looked at the hem of his clothes with dust with dissatisfaction, and looked up to reprimand the culprit, this time he looked up, the villain and Wang Qiu were stunned, and then screamed.
Wang Qiu was simply frightened when he suddenly found that he had stepped on a strange clothes, and the villain probably didn't expect to be discovered by humans.
The little man was only about 30 centimeters, wearing a gray robe, holding a small cane in his hand, his black hair was long and hanging down to his waist, and his dark skin was dark and shiny, if it weren't for the too strange golden eyes, he would be exactly like a human being.
Wang Qiu and the villain sat in the dilapidated pavilion on the side of the road, the villain had calmed down the fright, and at this time, like an old nobleman, he was very polite and fiddled with the pocket tea set that he took out of nowhere, and poured Wang Qiu a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Wang Qiu carefully took the tea and gently put it on the table, worried about spilling the tea inside.
"I'm a traveler of the Traveler clan, so I didn't expect to meet a magician here."
Wang Qiu didn't speak, and complained frantically in his heart about why he drank tea with aliens.
"I don't have any ill intentions, can you chat with me if you don't mind?"
Wang Qiu looked at the villain, unsure if what he said had no malice was true. After all, heterogeneous usually have nothing to say about humans.
"We travelers will hold an assessment every 10 years, and each person has two opportunities to be assessed, as long as they pass the assessment, they can become real travelers."
Wang Qiu looked at the obvious footprints on the corner of the villain's clothes, and felt a little weak: "That's the case." ”
"Everyone can only pass the assessment if they complete the assessment tasks in the clan, and if they can't complete it, then they will lose their qualification to become a traveler."
"Did you pass then?"
"Today is the last day of the assessment task, but I don't have a clue."
"That's the case, then I won't delay your time." Wang Qiu was about to get up.
I saw the little man smiling and looking like a fox: "If I can get your help, I will be very grateful." ”
Wang Qiu sighed, this was relied upon, and looked at the corner of the clothes that was trampled on with resentment: "Then what should I do?" ”
"The most precious thing." The villain's eyes lit up: "Do you have any family heirlooms?" ”
"Farewell."
Wang Qiu felt that his right leg was unusually heavy as soon as he took two steps, and when he looked down at the villain, there seemed to be two wide tears flowing on his face, and he grabbed her right leg tightly.
Sighing, Wang Qiu glanced at the corner of the villain's clothes again: "So your assessment task is the most precious thing?" ”
The little man was cross-legged in a second, feeling as if he was contemplative, and nodded: "Yes, in the past two days, I have taken out all the valuable things I can find, but I have not passed." ”
Looking at the beautiful gems piled up into a hill in front of him, the corners of Wang Qiu's mouth twitched slightly: "That's really hard." ”
"Uh-huh." This kind of thoughtful expression made Wang Qiu really not want to continue to complain about the assessment of the same essay topic.
"What else have you thought of besides these gems?"
"Bigger gems!"
Wang Qiu patted the non-existent dust on his shoulders and sat down again: "Since it is an assessment of becoming a traveler, then this most precious thing should be about the most precious thing for you during the journey, right?" ”
"It seems, that's the case."
"So, think back to what you felt was the most impressive thing about your trip!" Wang Qiu felt as if he was a Chinese teacher who taught elementary school students to write essays.
"Impressed......" the little man seemed to be lost in thought.
Wang Qiu felt that he was about to grow mushrooms while sitting: "No? ”
"There are so many that I don't know which one is the most profound for me." The little man's originally sad face was full of brilliance for a moment: "The rainbow that appeared in the valley after the rain, the starry sky on the summer night, the fine dust flying in the light through the cracks in the forest, the first ray of sunlight after the end of the cold winter...... I was impressed by each of them, and I was moved by every moment of tranquility and beauty. ”
Wang Qiu seemed to see the world he saw from the description of the villain, the colorful world: "The world you describe is really beautiful. ”
The little man was a little excited, and some of his dark faces seemed to be rosy because of excitement: "I love to travel, I hope I can record all the good things on the way, so that more friends can share my happiness!" This is my greatest wish! ”
Wang Qiu looked at the villain and smiled: "The love of travel, this may be your most precious thing." ”
The villain comprehended Wang Qiu's words, and also laughed: "Human beings are really cunning. ”
"I'll just think you're complimenting me."
The little man left with full enthusiasm, and in the middle of the night, the little man who went and returned threw Wang Qiu's glass with a gem.
Before he complained about his wealth, the black face full of a bright smile seemed to shine in the moonlight. Of course, this light pierced the sleepy-eyed Wang Qiu, who couldn't open his eyes.
"I passed the test, and now I'm a real traveler." Standing on a branch outside the window, holding a small crutch: "I'm going to continue my journey and leave here, so I'm here to say goodbye." ”
"Well, have a nice trip." Wang Qiu slowly sobered up and said with a smile.
"Thanks to you this time, my friend, my name is Shi." When the alien can voluntarily exchange names, it means that they are friends! Although I don't know much about heterogeneity, I also know that names are very important for heterogeneous.
"My name is Wang Qiu." Wang Qiu waved his hand at Shi: "There will be a period later, my friend." ”
At the time of separation, Shi gave Wang Qiu a late autumn fallen leaf, a bright red maple leaf, with a faint fragrance of grass and trees.
Wang Qiu caressed the maple leaves, and many beautiful scenery were projected in front of him, such as hazy rainbows, bright night sky, and dust flying in the forest light......
My friend.
I would like to share my happiness with you.
