Chapter 4: The Legend of the Hungry Wolf
Ever heard the legend of the hungry wolf in the city?
It is the story of a group of special human beings, and the protagonists of the story are a group of adult male wolves. Unlike normal wolves, these adult wolves can change into adults. This part of the male wolf turned into a male creature, their bloody experience of surviving in the city was compiled into a book by those who witnessed it - "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf".
This "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" has influenced an entire generation of hot-blooded men.
Zhang Haoran, as a big boy who is in adolescence, also fantasized that he would get a magical strength, and then fight injustice, save the world, and heroes save beauty.
But the reality is cruel, Zhang Haoran was weak when he was a child, often fell ill, and almost died several times; When I was growing up, I was forced to take too much nutrition because I was a child, and by the time I was in high school, I was overnourished and became fat, so I was laughed at by my classmates as a fat man with no strength.
The lack of physical fitness makes his brain very developed, not only with excellent grades, but also with spare energy to write his own fantasy novels, and his writing is not bad.
And he is currently writing a novel "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf", and he will never forget the "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" he saw when he was a child, and it is especially difficult to let go of the end of the novel: the werewolf and the human girl married and had a son, but the werewolf was shot and killed by the human police in order to supplement the mother and son to hunt......
Although he wrote a novel, he knew in his heart that there was no such mysterious werewolf in the world, and this novel was abandoned halfway because of this.
Maybe it's the lack of imagination, or maybe it's the lack of belief in my heart that makes me unmotivated to write anymore.
However, that all changed on that day.
It was a rainy day with a pouring rain, and Haoran was walking home alone with an umbrella. The sky was gray, water columns hung under the eaves of the houses, and the street trees on both sides of the road were slanted by the strong wind, and the rain also invaded with the wind, soaking half of Haoran's body.
Gradually, the wind became stronger and stronger, and even if the position of the wind was corrected, the umbrella bones were bent, and the people inside had nowhere to hide under the storm; Pedestrians have already gotten into shops or cars; There are only waves of water on the road like the waves of the sea; Occasionally, cars were cursed for splashing a large puddle of water.
The whole city was cranky because of the heavy rain.
Haoran, whose umbrella was blown away, had no choice but to hide under a fixed "rain shelter" like everyone else. However, the street he was walking on was under renovation, there were no shops in business, and the only place that could be counted as a shelter from the rain was an alley on the right-hand side. This alley is actually a gap between two buildings, because the roofs of the two buildings are almost uninterrupted, in disguise, it is equivalent to a ceiling; There is no one in this narrow alley where the sun does not shine on weekdays, and it is pitch black from the outside, and few people know where the end of the alley leads, so the children on this street are rumored to be a very scary place.
Haoran, who must pass through this street every day, naturally knows the road, but in order to avoid the rain, he has no choice but to get into it. And really staying inside, Hao Ran realized what a bold decision he had made. Since it usually doesn't see the light of day, there are almost all dark creatures in this crevice. Rats and cockroaches are trivial, and even bats call the walls and roofs here. The moment he got inside, he smelled a fishy stench.
"Don't go in!"
Suddenly, a sound came from behind Hao Ran, who was sticking his head into the alleyway, and he turned his head woodenly, only to find that there was a girl holding an umbrella standing behind him.
"I see, is your umbrella broken......" The girl's voice was very pleasant, but Haoran heard this sentence without any emotion, "My umbrella is for you, you go back quickly." As soon as she finished speaking, she put away the umbrella in her hand and let the fine raindrops hit her.
In a short time, the girl was already soaking wet, revealing her graceful figure.
"You ......" Before Hao Ran finished his question, the girl grabbed Hao Ran, forced the umbrella into his hand, and dragged him out of the alley.
"The strength of the hand is so strong...... Haoran said silently in his heart.
"Thank you...... Xie Lu Xie, then you ......"
"Let's go." Without looking back, the girl walked into the depths of the alley alone.
In this case, the fool will really go home!
Although he is a fat man who can be terrible, Haoran's self-esteem and sense of responsibility are not low at all, he walked silently for a minute, and then immediately turned back without thinking about it, and quietly followed her into the alley.
After walking for more than 30 meters in the dark, Haoran saw a faint light in the distance. He waited with bated breath, quietly observing the scene behind the shimmer.
"Daddy...... I'm coming to see you again, this time...... I came here with my mother on my back. You must be hungry, I caught a pheasant for you, and I caught it from the suburbs more than ten kilometers away! How's that, my skills have become stronger again! If...... If you could keep seeing me grow this big, I don't think you would support my mother's decision. Mom just wants me to be a human being, but—has Mom forgotten how you left us, Dad? Such a me...... How could you still love humans...... How is that possible......" The more the girl spoke, the more excited she became, and when she reached the end, only a whimpering sob.
Haoran was stunned after hearing this, and unconsciously moved his steps backwards. I don't know if it's bad luck or what, Haoran actually stepped on a mouse.
The rat squeaked, and the bats were awakened by it, and the bats fluttered their wings in groups. It's strange if the girl wasn't alert!
"Who is it? How dare you disturb my father's rest! Wow-" The girl's figure in the shimmer suddenly became shorter, her hair grew longer and thicker, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared into the darkness.
Haoran knew that something was wrong, so he ran away.
Although he was very close to the exit, his physical strength was too poor, and his speed was really slow, close to a distance of more than a hundred meters, and he was forced closer and closer by the creature in the dark.
Quack! I only heard a bang, and Haoran's left sleeve was torn, but fortunately, Haoran finally ran out, and the unknown creature behind him did not catch up......
When he returned home, Haoran was shocked. Carrying the black umbrella given by the girl who met in the water, he felt suspicious no matter how he looked at it, so he quietly went back to his room, put away the torn clothes and umbrella, and examined the wound......
"Sure enough, this is a wolf's scratch......
The next day, in the classroom of the first year of high school, the teacher was introducing a new transfer student to everyone. "Let her introduce herself." The teacher motioned for the girls outside the door to come in.
The girl had long black hair, and the flowing sea in front of her forehead covered half of her face, looking a little mysterious and gloomy.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Qiaoqiao, I transferred to this school because of my parents' work, please take care of me." With that, she bowed.
Just as Haoran was applauding with everyone, this transfer student named Lin Qiaoqiao suddenly turned his gaze to a boy by the window and stared at his bandaged arm.
At this moment, the eyes of the two people were intertwined - "It turned out to be her (him)!" ”
"Well, sit behind that classmate." The teacher pointed to where Hao Ran was sitting.
Maybe it's because Haoran is quiet on weekdays, he has never had any friends at school, and it's normal to have an empty seat in the back.
"Please advise." Lin Qiaoqiao walked next to Haoran and suddenly threw out such a sentence.
"Thank you, thank you, ...... umbrella"
Haoran's eyes followed the teacher and the blackboard sluggishly, while Lin Qiaoqiao's eyes wandered away from the scenery outside the window. No one in the class knew what the two were thinking, but they were certainly not listening. Maybe it's because they are both "weirdos" that they can sit together very fatefully.
In this way, the day's class was over, and the two were speechless.
At dusk, there were only two people left in the class, Haoran and Lin Qiaoqiao. Haoran was packing his schoolbag while writing something with his hand. And Lin Qiaoqiao still looked at the sunset outside the window.
"Do you like to see the scenery?" Haoran suddenly spoke, but did not look back.
Lin Qiaoqiao glanced at him and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the school makes me feel like a cage, and I don't like it." ”
"Indeed, for me, it is a prison of thought; For you, is it the body? ”
Bang!
Lin Qiaoqiao suddenly stood up, stared at Haoran's back and said, "What did you see yesterday?" ”
"You may ...... I'll think I'm seeing a wolf......" Haoran said slowly, his bag already packed. Hearing this, Lin Qiaoqiao's figure shook obviously, "But-all I see is sadness." ”
"That's all?"
"That's all." Haoran picked up the schoolbag, put the folded paper in his hand on Lin Qiaoqiao's desk, and walked out of the class.
Lin Qiaoqiao opened the piece of paper and looked at it, and every time she looked at a line, the surprise in her heart deepened; Look, the paper in his hand has slipped off.
Hao Ran returned home, holding a white notebook in his hand, and muttered: "'What is written in this book will become true, come on, enjoy the best stories for me!'" Sure enough, this book, can you make imagination come true......"
Since the college entrance examination will be held in three days, the school will give the junior students a holiday; Haoran had more time to think about the plot......
The time was pushed back by four days, and the comprehensive examination items in the college entrance examination.
Jing Xiang mentioned the three subjects he was best at history, geography, and physics to do in front, and he wanted to ensure high scores in these three subjects. However, taking care of one or the other, the other three can only be mixed and passed.
Jing Mo sent him to the test center this morning, and the strange thing is that unlike yesterday, there is no sign of his ability to go wild today.
In this way, Jingxiang can answer with peace of mind.
"When was the Germanic League founded and was the dominant figure, it's that simple! In 1945, Adolf Hitler signed alliances in Berlin with France, Luxembourg, Northern Italy and other countries of Western Europe. ”
Does this question seem to be the main point of the political situation in the world today...... So, let's write it this way: the situation in the world today is tentatively set in the fifties and sixties of the last century, and the establishment of the Germanic alliance can be regarded as the earliest, followed by the United States of Atlantic States, which arose through the wealth of war, and then the three political behemoths of the New Roman Empire, the United Islamic Emirates, and the East Asian Community were established under the auspices of the three ideological superpowers, the Vatican, the Arabs, and China, respectively, forming a five-legged political pattern in the world today......
The long three hours finally passed, and after Jing Xiang saw that the scroll was taken away from his hand, an inexplicable sense of relief and heaviness came to his heart at the same time. The easy thing is that the battle is finally over, and the heavy thing is that after yesterday's baptism, it is impossible for me to live the same life as the ordinary people around me.
Especially when he met the "girl with wolf ears", he knew in his heart that this world could not be as simple as written in the history books......
For the first time, Jing Xiang had a big dream - to uncover the secrets behind this world.
But the hand of fate is pushing him step by step into the abyss.
