Chapter 479: Crowded
In the vast desert, the uncle led the camel, and his 7-year-old son sat on it, followed by Li Qing and Fang Yi.
Counting the evening, they still had a day to go, the uncle was very anxious, the youngest son was very excited, and Li Qing and Fang Yi were very depressed.
The uncle still didn't believe it, they also went to take the entrance test, after all, in the past three years, he had never seen a child over the age of ten who would take the test.
It's not that it can't be, but in the villages near Chishan, there are very few children that old.
Akayama Academy only admits boys.
But most of the children, when they were still young, were killed by dark ghosts, and only a very small number survived to reach their teens.
Most of them don't have parents yet, that is, no one pays for them the high tuition fees they have had in recent years.
Therefore, these children are also unable to enter the academy.
The uncle was asking Li Qing all the way which village he and Fang Yi were from, but they were all confused by Li Qing's divergence from the topic.
This is also what makes the uncle not believe them.
Night falls, and the desert nights are very cold, the opposite of the end of the day.
Several people were shivering with cold, and they couldn't stop to rest, and before dawn, they had to arrive at Chishan City.
Gradually, there were more travelers on the road, most of whom were parents who took their children to take the test.
If the conditions are not good, they walk, their shoes are about to wear out, and some of the little boys have fallen asleep on their father's back, and their father is still holding on step by step.
If the conditions are good, just like an uncle, lead the camel and let the child sit on it.
In this kind of dark night haunted by ghosts, everyone risked their lives for the sake of that little hope of survival.
Fang Yi and Li Qing followed behind the uncle, but they were not suspected by others, and they all thought that they were following the child.
Fortunately, they didn't encounter dark ghosts this night, Li Qing and Fang Yi were tired of walking, and they would take a rest, and at this time, they found that there were more people on the road, especially behind them, those people were like desert escapees, big bags and small bags, dragged with mouths, the whole desert, and the whole desert was all people who participated in the test.
"That's a lot of people, isn't it... Are these people crazy? Fang Yi couldn't help but say.
"I don't know if I'm crazy or not, I've been deceived anyway." Li Qing said.
The uncle in front turned his head and shouted, "What are you talking about?" ”
Li Qing hurriedly covered up and said, "I didn't say anything, Fang Yi was hungry." ”
"Captain!" Fang Yi whispered indignantly.
"Stop talking, let's hurry."
"Hey, that academy's skills are really not small, let's hurry up, I want to see what's going on there!"
The rest of the journey, which was almost at dawn, finally saw the outline of a city appear in front of us.
The uncle finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked his youngest son to get off the camel and prepare for a simple rest.
"Kid, eat something, you have to perform well in the test for a while, and you will definitely be able to do it this time!"
"Well, don't worry, father, I'm already very experienced."
"Okay, okay," the uncle nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly shifted his gaze to Li Qing and Fang Yi, "Do you two have some food?" ”
"No, no, we just ate on the way." Li Qing hurriedly waved his hand, these people are already very pitiful, the food that this child eats is something similar to compressed biscuits, it is very nutritious, and the taste does not look good, just like this, they all regard it as treasures, the uncle is even more hungry and didn't eat a bite, how can Li Qing and Fang Yi eat it.
Li Qing looked around, the entire desert, there were such poor people. Everyone is taking advantage of this last moment to rest, and after entering Chishan Castle for a while, the entrance test will begin.
The crowd gathers in twos and threes, and occasionally a few children's laughter can be heard.
"Since you don't eat, then I won't force it, let's walk here, there is Chishan City in front, you can go by yourself."
"Uncle, this is going to be separated?"
"Yes, there are a lot of people going into the city, so I can't take care of you, but you said you were going to take the test, I still can't believe it, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, let's go, this way, thank you uncle for taking care of you, and the children must also pass the test!"
"Well, thank you, uncle."
Li Qing smiled while silently thinking in his heart that the children must not pass, do not pass.
The sky gradually changed, and someone in the distance had already set off towards Chishan City.
One person set off, leading the rest of the people, and after a while, everyone began to pack up their things and set off, and the empty desert instantly became extremely lively.
People huddle together in groups, and the further they go, the more crowded they become.
Before Li Qing and Fang Yi set off, they didn't expect that it would be such a scene.
How popular that academy is!
Ahead, on the huge mountain rock, the shape of a city gate was excavated, and at this time the city gate was closed, and hundreds of people blocked the door.
The crowd came to a standstill, and the people behind were still squeezing forward.
Li Qing was so squeezed by several parents with children that he couldn't breathe, and Fang Yi was no better, he was about to vomit.
What's worse is that as soon as the day arrives, the temperature rises again, and in the hot weather of the desert, Li Qing and Fang Yi are squeezed in the middle by a group of people, that feeling, they don't want to experience it a second time.
"Captain, I'm quick... is dead..."Fang Yi was huddled between the two aunts, and there was still a burden in front of his head, and he couldn't even move.
Li Qing didn't care when he was uncomfortable, Fang Yi called him "captain", his foot had been stepped on, and the man knew it, but the two of them just couldn't move, because there was no room for the other foot under their feet.
"Why don't you open the door yet!"
"yes, it's time."
"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
"Squeezed to death, the child is about to faint!"
The crowd said a word, and the atmosphere began to turn to the bad side.
If there were a riot at this time, it would be very tragic.
The crowd was still pouring towards the city gate, and at this moment, there was a "boom" in front of the gate and the gate opened.
"Rush!"
With a shout, the crowd suddenly exploded, and everyone squeezed forward harder, and those who blocked the door had already rushed in first.
Li Qing and Fang Yi were pushed forward by the crowd, they didn't understand in their hearts, it was just an entrance test, was it necessary to be in such a hurry? Is there a reward for the first place?
Driven by the crowd, the gate soon appeared above Li Qing's head, and the vicinity of the gate had become a crowded disaster area at this time.
Crowds from both sides and in the middle wanted to squeeze in earlier, and the result was a situation where people entered the gate very slowly, because no one could squeeze in so easily, and a group of people were stuck in the doorway, unable to move.
"I'm going crazy, team... Li Qing, how long is this going to be squeezed? Fang Yi complained desperately.
"Don't worry, let's take our time in the back, I don't believe we can't get in."
"Well, I don't want to squeeze with these people, those aunts are terrible."
Fang Yi had a shadow so quickly, and Li Qing pulled him out of the crowd slowly.
