Chapter 84: First Meeting of Teammates
Teammate?.
Of the four major irons in life, the best relationship in the middle should be said to be comradeship. It is a kind of friendship that has come through life and death, and it is a trust that can give each other's backs to each other, and a trust that can entrust all the family members.
It was my regret that I couldn't get into the army because of my health, and now I have the opportunity to make up for it. Although we do not belong to the military establishment of any country, we will still fight side by side in the future, experience a sea of corpses and blood, and share life and death, so it is necessary to build a good relationship. Especially for a combination like ours, which cannot even be accurately called a multinational force, there are many civilizations, among which there are ancient civilizations.
I was full of anticipation and curiosity about my future teammates, but as soon as Moon showed me, I was furious.
I grabbed Moon by the collar and pressed it against the wall, lashing at him.
"What does that mean?" I gestured to the small figure next to me.
It was a little girl, definitely not an Atlantean or a Lemuraian, I could tell the difference, without the characteristics of either of their civilizations. It can be easily judged that this is a land man. That small figure and immature face show that she is still a minor, and more importantly, she is still a little girl.
"War makes women go away, we fight, for the future, and they are the future!" My tone was unceremonious, and I tried my best to vent my anger.
Moon calmly broke my hand and motioned for me to step aside and speak. 35xs
I looked back, the little figure shrunk into a ball, her head hung low, she couldn't see her face clearly, and her hands kept rubbing the corners of her clothes, which made people feel distressed to look at.
Holding back the unhappiness in my heart, I went outside with Moon, and I wanted to hear what his reasons were.
"This is the only underage, and her situation is somewhat peculiar." "She's an orphan, but she has a special gift, she can control fire. So in the orphanage she was seen as a monster, and no one wanted to adopt her. Later, Goliath they found her, so ......"
Moon spread his hands, expressing his helplessness. I understood what he meant, a child who had no relatives and no reason, and was not accepted by the people around her, happened to encounter this incident, and showed something extraordinary, and the combination of several became the reason why she came here.
The original posture was already pitiful, and now it is even more distressing to hear about her life experience. I thought about it and went back to my room and took out a small thing from my backpack.
"Is this good for you? What is your name? I crouched in front of her, speaking as softly as I could, with a smile that I thought was kind.
I had a stuffed animal and a teddy bear in my hand. Originally, it was prepared for my niece earlier, and I forgot to take it out in my bag all the time, but I just brought it this time, and I found it when I was sorting out my backpack yesterday, and I took it out at this time to coax the child.
"Why don't you like it? It's called Teddy, isn't it pretty? I scratched my head, the bear had been sitting for some time, and it was still a little dirty, but there was nothing else at hand to please the child. Flash Dance.
"Can I call it Tibbs?" The girl asked in a whisper, if it weren't for the fact that I was crouching in front of her, I almost didn't hear clearly.
"Of course, it's yours now, you can call it whatever you want."
"Really?" She looked at me with a slight surprise in her eyes, and quickly lowered her head again.
The moment she looked up, I could see her face clearly, it was a round little face, and there were some shadow of baby fat, with a little freckles on both sides of the nose, which is a common situation in Europeans and Americans, under the cover-top hat was a head of blonde hair, as cute as a doll in a fairy tale, round eyes, long eyelashes flickering. There was something strange about her eyes, her eyes were different colors, one was royal blue, the other was purple.
If you ignore her heterochromatic eyes, then she is definitely a doll-like delicate and cute little girl. But looking at her eyes will feel weird, and her body will unconsciously feel a chill.
"My name is Yan Shunlu, you can call me brother, or Ah Lu, the bear in your hand is called Tiebs, so what is your name?"
"Annie." A timid voice replied to me.
"Can I call you Annie, then?"
"Hmm!"
Looking at her well-behaved appearance, I wanted to reach out and touch her head, but I remembered that it seemed that in Europe and the United States, it is generally not allowed to touch children's heads, which is a taboo in some countries, so I had to withdraw my half-stretched hand.
"Let her stay in the rear then." I turned back to Moon and said.
Moon didn't make a sound, and after a long time he said with difficulty, "Try your best, it's a battlefield after all, maybe ......"
I also understand that war is not special because you are a child or a woman, but because the identity of a woman is more constrained. And we're about to face an even more unknown battle, and maybe, if Moon doesn't finish speaking, I know that maybe this time it's a point of no return.
Because the enemy is unknown, and their technological level is far superior to ours, we are at an absolute disadvantage, and in the case of unequal strength, we are likely to be defeated, and the result of defeat is likely to be buried in space.
"Don't be too frustrated, or I'll do the math?" A voice came from a dimly lit corner.
A figure was leaning against the wall, and I hadn't noticed anyone else there because of the light. Then he stepped out of the shadows, came to me and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Trist. ”
"Hello, Yan Shunlu."
Trist's outfit was characteristic, a cowboy hat, pressed low to hide his appearance, with a distinctly styled outfit, a cape, a deck of playing cards in his hand, and a pair of shiny leather boots.
When he walked in, I saw clearly, he had a long face that was a little square, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, a slightly pointed chin, long eyebrows, big and long eyes, very bright, the bridge of the nose was extra long, high and straight, his mouth was a little wide, his expression was calm and mysterious and somewhat indifferent, and he had a goatee on his chin.
This appearance is definitely a handsome type, the contour of the physiognomy is very three-dimensional, in line with the model of Western aesthetics, even in the eyes of us Asians, it is definitely handsome, especially his cold face, as well as deep and bright eyes, can definitely attract the attention of a vote of women.
The outfit and his appearance made it easy for me to guess who he was, Roma, and another well-known name, Gypsy, but that name was somewhat discriminatory, and they preferred to call themselves Roma. A world-famous wandering people, but also famous for their divination.
And his clothes are even more obvious that he is from Spain, where they are called flamenco, and the flamenco dance of the same name is their representative, known for its light and infectious rhythm.
If you are familiar with musicals, you should know a very famous opera "Carmen", which depicts a beautiful and stubborn gypsy girl, a classic in the history of musical theater.
But they are still known for not being productive and a wandering people. From the earliest days of horse-drawn carriages to the current caravans, men have made a living by selling livestock, taming animals, mending pots (black-and-white blacksmiths) and working as musicians. Women are engaged in divination, medicine sales, begging and performing.
To put it nicely, they are a free and romantic people, but on the contrary, they are free and loose, so can he be a trustworthy partner? My mind was full of questions.
