Chapter 288: Alan, Mikasa
"Yo, Allen, Mikasa, went to the mountains to collect firewood again?"
The wide streets are full of people and horse-drawn carriages driven by coachmen.
On the side of the street, at the gate of the outer city wall of the city of Higanshina, the city of Weng, several soldiers of the garrison corps wearing the military insignia of the Iron Wall Rose were sitting and drinking, and the wine table was very simple, a large wooden box that had been turned upside down.
And the wine they drank was nothing more than a jar of miscellaneous wine that they themselves carried with them on duty on weekdays.
One of them, a blonde man with a height of 1.9 meters, had already drunk his cheeks slightly red, and looked at the two young figures slowly walking in inside the city gate, and immediately raised his hand to say hello.
"You're drinking again!"
Looking at the appearance of the soldiers of the garrison corps, Alan did not answer the question of the blond man, but frowned, tightened the back of dry firewood behind his back, glared at them and said loudly: "You guys, what if something unexpected happens!" Can you still fight? ”
"Ugh!"
Suddenly choked by Allen, the blonde man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed indifferently, stood up and walked to Allen's side, raised his hand and rubbed his hair, and said with a smile: "Boy, we will naturally fight when it's time to fight." But ah, it's only when we, the soldiers, have nothing to do, and it's safe within the walls. ”
"If the day really comes when our soldiers need to fight, then the peaceful and peaceful life of the humans within the walls will be gone forever, and you don't want to see that happen, right?"
For Aaron, this blonde man knows a lot about this kid, so there is no surprise that he would say such things.
After all, he is still only a fourteen-year-old boy with his own thoughts, but he is not fully thinking about things, and it is normal to have a bad temper.
I think back then, when he was Allen's age, he also looked at the towering wall, and longed for life and freedom outside the wall. After all, the human beings living within the giant wall, except for some merchants, if there are no special circumstances, where they are born, they will basically live there until they die. It's rare to have the opportunity to walk around and gain knowledge.
But as he grew older, he gradually realized that today's peaceful life is not easy to come by.
So for Allen in front of him, he still looks at it with the eyes of a person who has come over.
"But we are trapped inside the wall every day, eating and sleeping all day long, sleeping and eating, and we can't see the scenery outside the wall until we die, isn't this kind of life...... Isn't it the same as a domestic animal? ”
The second-year teenager Alan was obviously very dissatisfied with his current state of life, and after listening to the words of the blonde man in front of him, he still resolutely expressed his opinion.
This kind of thing can't say who is right and who is wrong, after all, different angles will look at problems in different ways.
On one side are idealists, on the other side are realists, and this is the only result of communication between the two sides.
The blonde man was also slightly stunned when he heard Allen's words, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Allen, this kid is a good boy, but it seems that he is a little too obsessed with going to the outside world.
Such a person, in any era, is the kind of pioneer who will not be bound by any popular will.
Even if he knows that the future will be full of thorns, he will rush into it without hesitation for the ideals in his heart.
For this type of people, many people actually don't understand and even dislike it.
But often they don't care much about themselves.
However, in fact, it is precisely because of the existence of such pioneers, who constantly sprint for a certain belief, that human civilization can continue to develop to another level, right?
This was another unhappy conversation, and Alan angrily left with dry wood on his back.
The long-haired black girl with a red scarf bowed slightly to the blonde man, said, "Uncle Hannes, I'm sorry," and immediately turned around and chased after Allen in front.
Hannes in the back raised his hand and scratched his head, looking at the two figures in front of him who were gradually moving away, and sighed helplessly.
"This kid, how many years has it been, and it's still like this......"
"Huh! Hannes, you leave that kid alone, when he grows up, he'll know, and it's useless for you to say more now. ”
On the side, some of his comrades-in-arms were also surprised by this, commented casually, and shouted loudly for him to go over and drink.
Hearing this, Hannes sighed again, raised his hand and scratched his hair with a slight headache, and said: "That kid is already fourteen years old this year, and he will soon be fifteen years old, and he has reached the age where he can enter the training corps. I'm afraid he's going to want to join the Survey Corps, and you know what kind of place it is, with such a high mortality rate. If something happens to Alan, how am I going to explain it to his parents? ”
As he spoke, Hannes walked back to the table and sat down.
"Don't worry about it, kids have their own ideas. That's his own choice, with Allen's kid's character, the things decided must not be so easy to dispel, what's the use of thinking more here? Why don't you drink alcohol? ”
A fat-headed, big-eared soldier laughed and shoved the flask in his hand into Hannes's arms.
Not far away, Hao Qiao, who was standing next to the big tree, silently glanced at the soldiers of the garrison corps, and then turned his head again in the direction where Alan and Mikasa were leaving on the street on the other side, and smiled: "I didn't expect to meet these two so soon, but they seem to be a lot older, and they are almost fifteen years old." But it's not bad, it's all the same. ”
muttering to himself, Hao Qiao raised his legs and followed in the direction of Allen and them.
At present, it seems that it is not a good opportunity to say hello, Hao Qiao is going to follow them home first, find out the location, and then find a chance to consider contact.
To put it simply, in fact, the trio of Allen, Mikasa, and Emin in the original book is relatively easy to handle.
First of all, among the three people, there is no doubt that it must be Allen, the second middle school boy, who is the first to look forward.
Mikasa is very smart and calm, but it's purely an Allen control, no matter what, as long as Allen is good.
Ermin's is also very smart and intellectual, but he also has a deep friendship with Allen, and he listens to Allen very much.
As for this Allen, he is just a second-year teenager who has not yet reached the age of 15, and it is not too simple to fool him.
In this regard, Hao Qiao is still very confident.
