What breed of pig is Porco Rosso?

Jiang Jiuling, who was full of doubts, prepared to go home according to the route in his memory.

The street of '92 was a street where there were almost no private cars in sight.

Pedestrians are either walking or riding bicycles, and occasionally very rustic buses and trucks pass by. Even riding a motorcycle, you can get the attention of pedestrians.

The signal lights at the intersection are erected on telephone poles, about 50 meters a pole, arranged horizontally and vertically until there is no end.

Jiang Jiuling couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's rustic!"

Looking at the black sneakers he was wearing with a faded shirt and rubber spikes on the soles that were almost worn out, Jiang Jiuling felt that the earthy taste had broken through the sky.

It turned out that when I was seventeen years old, I was a frequent visitor to major clothing stores.

Later, his girlfriend was an orchestra leader who was as strict as a star in managing his own image, and even Jiang Jiuling began to pay attention to his outfits.

Right now......

Jiang Jiuling, who crossed the road with a group of chattering students, turned a corner and continued to walk along the road, found that there seemed to be two people standing on the sidewalk in front of him, checking something.

To be precise, to check the students.

At this time, the streets are full of students who have just finished school, from the first year of junior high school to the second year of high school. Now there are a man and a woman standing next to the sidewalk, the boy holding a notebook and recording something, and the girl waving at the students from time to time.

There are also students who take the initiative to surround them, and they are all boys.

What is the school emblem student card, isn't it all checked when you go to school?

Jiang Jiuling walked forward curiously, and then couldn't help but take a few more looks.

The boy didn't have much to look at, standing there with a notebook in his hand, as if it was the first time he had participated in this kind of student inspection, and he still had a cowering expression on his face.

It was the girl who stopped the boy from time to time that made Jiang Jiuling look at him for a moment.

This is a tall short-haired girl wearing gray trousers, a long-sleeved plaid shirt, a few strands of hair hanging in front of her eyes, and blowing upwards when she stopped a boy, and her hair flew with a bit of Hong Kong film.

A cold cool feeling.

Then Jiang Jiuling felt that she was very familiar, and she seemed to live next door to her. But in my memory, the girl named Zhang Ying was not in the second middle school, and Jiang Jiuling forgot about the specific middle.

Jiang Jiuling looked at her, she also saw Jiang Jiuling, and then she beckoned to Jiang Jiuling.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Jiuling walked over suspiciously, and when she got closer, she could still hear the boys standing around her, one by one, shouting "eldest sister~", "eldest sister's head~" and other bad names.

"Pay a protection fee. ”

Zhang Ying nodded at Jiang Jiuling, there was no polite awareness of an acquaintance in his tone, and he said flatly: "Today is the day when you pay the protection fee in the second middle school, last week, there were seven people in your third class who paid the protection fee from me, and it just so happened that you came to class, make up eight." ”

Jiang Jiuling was very innocent and unexpected, and looked at this heroic girl who was not much shorter than himself.

This...... This style of painting is a little wrong, right?,What the hell is paying protection money?

And you're not a student at our second high school, are you?

I remember clearly that three months, Jiang Jiuling and Jiang were all "idle at home", so I don't remember whether I had the experience of paying protection money when I was in school before.

In the original world, Jiang Jiuling never paid, because no one dared to bully him when he was in school.

The boys next to them were scrambling to pay for protection, either a one-dollar coin or a one-dollar paper ticket in their hands.

When handing over the money to Zhang Ying, the boy next to him, who was likely to be a "strong man", would whisper a few classes and what their names were, and then record them in a small notebook with a ballpoint pen in his hand.

Jiang Jiuling's innocent appearance surprised Zhang Ying a little.

"How?"

"Not ready to pay?" Zhang Ying's voice was very good, and his tone did not change much.

Jiang Jiuling felt in a few pockets on his body, and finally found a coin, "Oh, here you go." ”

Since you have the habit of paying protection money, let's pay it first. Jiang Jiuling just wants to go home quickly, and then figure out the questions he is full of, he doesn't have time to argue with Zhang Ying about whether the protection fee should be collected now, do you know that I have been expelled.

Zhang Ying threw the coin into the bulging canvas waist bag, and said to Jiang Jiuling routinely: "If you are bullied within this week, notify me." After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for the next one.

......

Home is about two kilometers away from the school, even though it is less than an hour to come to this world, the way from school to home gives Jiang Jiuling a sense of familiarity that he has lived for a long time. This sense of familiarity may come from memories of years and years of walking, from the layout of the city's roads to the shops on the streets.

Gaolan Road, No. 24 Lion Lane.

This is the address that Jiang Jiuling knew after looking at the sign on the wall.

This is a movement of the world line.

Before the crossing, although Jiang Jiuling's hometown was Wucheng, he remembered that he moved to the capital Yanjing when he was five years old. The house in his hometown was kept until the demolition in 07, during which Jiang Jiuling and his family went back to their hometown many times to visit their grandfather.

In my memory, my hometown is here, but the old house is not the three-room tiled house and a small courtyard built in the alley in front of me, but a three-story small building with a compound of hundreds of square meters.

In addition, in his memory, there are no parents, and his grandfather, who has taken care of him since he was a child, has died of illness for two years.

In other words, there is only one pig who depends on him now.

took out the key and opened the rusty iron gate again, the bare and pitiful appearance in the courtyard, and the three mottled tile houses, made Jiang Jiuling feel a little like crying.

On the one hand, he misses his relatives in the original world, and on the other hand, this family makes him poor.

So poor that I don't even have a bicycle.

"Hmph~Hmph~"

On the left side of the gate, that is, against the courtyard wall, there was a low humming sound, Jiang Jiuling turned his head to look, and saw that there was a wooden shed on the concrete floor of the courtyard. And inside the shed, it was a pig with a red body and a head arched on the ground.

Even though he already had a rough image of this pig in his memory, when he really saw it for the first time, Jiang Jiuling was still startled, and his heart was pounding like a roller coaster.

This is by no means your average pig.

Not to mention the crimson skin, the mane on its back, and the two fangs that protrude slightly from its mouth, it cannot be associated with the image of an ordinary domestic pig.

It looks a little like a wild boar, but it looks stupid and looks more docile than a wild boar.

In addition, Jiang Jiuling didn't know if he was dazzled, how did he think that this pig was under the sunset, and the red skin and hair on his body actually had some metallic reflective color.

It also had a sticker on its ear, and as its head arched, the iron label tinkled non-stop. It is estimated that the water droplets from small to large have pierced through the stone, and the concrete floor in front of it has been arched out of its face-sized gap, revealing the dark gray soil below.

Jiang Jiuling took a closer look at the label of the post, and there were three rows of printed words on the label.

Species: Ordinal number 26 metal species.

Scientific name: ferric oxide pig.

Born: Born in 1990.

"Three...... Ferric oxide pigs?"

"Metal, iron...... Iron Pig?"

Jiang Jiuling picked up a small pebble from the door and smashed it the pig's back. The moment the stone collided with its crimson skin, there was a less obvious sound of metal striking.

The latter looked up blankly, as if wondering why Jiang Jiuling hadn't fed it yet.

"Brother, you... You're made of iron?"
