On a meadow on the side of the road, more than a dozen carts full of goods were parked, which was the school's caravan to Suero again, accompanied by Selinda, who had recovered from illness, and members of the foreign affairs team who had gone to negotiate with Count Carlos. People gathered in twos and threes for lunch, while Chen Hansheng and Shi Hao took the time to check the rope that bound the goods together.

"Stone, listen to me, the eldest husband still has to walk in this world. You are such a good man, what kind of climate can you become in school. Chen Hansheng folded up a piece of rainproof cloth and said without saying a word.

Shi Hao didn't answer, pulled a rope tightly, tied a knot hard, and fixed the loose goods on the board car.

"Are you kid thinking about Du Mei again?" Chen Hansheng somehow got it, quite a bit of a rack that didn't open which pot to mention, "Du Mei has passed, just like my family, it has passed." There's not much to think about in the past. I sometimes think that it is possible for those who have died to return to their original world. Haven't you thought so? Are we all in a dream that we can't wake up, maybe Du Mei woke up first. ”

"Old Chen. You're not going to be comforting. It's all. Shi Hao patted the bound goods to make sure they were not loose, "Don't talk nonsense, I understand." The more I look at the world, the more fucked up I get. ”

"What is this, aren't you doing well now?"

"I don't think there's anything good, I can't say anything else, I can't eat what I want to eat, I can't use what I want to use, I can't see what I want to see. ”

"Hey. That's because you lack comparison, and you know the good and the bad when you compare. I'll tell you a secret. Chen Hansheng lowered his voice, "I went in ...... back then."

"Go in, get into?"

Chen Hansheng nodded mysteriously.

"You've been doing it for a long time, you're a labor prisoner?" Shi Hao raised his spirits now.

"What's wrong with the prisoners? I'm wronged. Do you understand that you have carried the black pot for others?" Chen Hansheng looked at the other party's look of disbelief and reprimanded, "I don't believe it, but ah, I want to understand a truth in it." No matter how dark and miserable the place is, there are people who live their lives. ”

"I was here for two weeks. Chen Hansheng gave a thumbs up.

"What is this?"

"It's our prison where I have the final say!"

"It turns out that you have also been a cell boss and prison bully?" Shi Hao pretended to be surprised and pointed at Chen Hansheng.

"you, can you speak, I am actively helping my fellow inmates solve difficulties and help them complete the reform as soon as possible!" Chen Hansheng knocked off the other party's hand, "In short, you are free now, and there is such a collective." It's much better than those days. As long as you have a goal, life will have a head. ”

"I have a goal! I've had a goal since that night. Shi Hao suddenly said to Chen Hansheng seriously, "It's to become stronger, stronger than a scumbag like Cadiz." I swore to Du Mei lying there that I must, I must become stronger. ”

Shi Hao found that instead of being moved by his oath, Chen Hansheng frowned slightly, and he was puzzled: "Is there something wrong with this? Can't I make it my goal to become stronger?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just afraid you're too tight...... You see, my goal is much simpler. Chen Hansheng pouted, Shi Hao looked over there, and Kalanda and Selinda were practicing swordsmanship in a clearing. The two of them are athletic, their moves are exquisite, and their bodies exude a sense of strength. ——————————————————

"You don't look like a mercenary. Selinda struck two swords quickly, but was easily dodged by Kalanda, who took advantage of a thrust and the huge two-handed sword forced Selinda back two steps.

"I've been a mercenary for a long time. Sometimes what you're doing now makes you feel like you've done it all your life. "When Kalanda got the momentum, he didn't continue to attack, but took a step back and made a comeback stance.

"Your two-handed sword moves are very skillful, which is not something you can see anywhere. None of my father's knights were in such a lineage. You've got an amazing teacher. Selinda made a starting gesture but didn't continue to do it, as if it was more interesting to guess Kalanda's identity than to practice swords.

"No matter how clever the skill is, it is created by people, and what you see may only be a little bit of my experience. Kalanda replied.

Instead of continuing to argue about the topic, Selinda praised, "I like your words, there is a kind of confidence in it, and it makes the two of us look alike." Ever since I was a child, I have believed that as long as someone has done something, then I will be able to do it. Maybe you have to fail once, maybe you have to fail a hundred times, but what's the point of not even failing? Some cowards just wait and wait, not knowing that the opportunities have slipped away one after another. ”

"You seem to be referring to something?" asked Kalanda.

"Haven't you seen those uncompetitive guys, who have the ability to do something, but are not as brave as us women?" Selinda sheathed her sword, seemingly out of the mood to fight again.

Kalanda also put away her two-handed greatsword and inserted it into the scabbard behind her back, "Have you ever seen a wolf in the Black Mountain Forest?"

"I have a shawl made of wolf fur. ”

"The wolf is small, much smaller than the average wolf. Usually it looks like a harmless squirrel, and you will even find it cute. However, once it begins to hunt and bares its fangs, it is even more ferocious than the big wolf. It is fast and capable of biting the throat of its prey in a split second and then fainting it with its venomous teeth. I've even heard of wolves killing leopards. ”

"You mean, some people ......"

"I'm a mercenary, I've met a lot of people, and I'm slowly learning not to jump to conclusions. There are always secrets that I don't know. There are always some people I can't see through. ”

Selinda nodded and smiled slyly, "I see." Thanks for the reminder. In fact, it makes me feel that you are not a mercenary, and it is your attitude. No other mercenary would talk to me like that. ”

"Look. Faced with Kalanda's puzzled eyes, Selinda casually beckoned to a mercenary, and the mercenary ran over cautiously and said with a sneer, "Miss Selinda, what do you command?"

"Go, fetch me some buckets of water. The mercenary hurriedly nodded and agreed.

"Although I am a mercenary, after all, I have a fighting spirit, and you can't expect a warrior with a fighting spirit to give you bathwater. Kalanda said with a frown.

"This is a habit, a brand, even if that mercenary becomes as powerful as you just now, he will still be cautious in front of us noble knights. Some people may become arrogant, but that's just another sign of low self-esteem. I've seen a lot of people like this. Humility has been engraved in their hearts and is difficult to get rid of. And you're not. ”

Selinda walked over to Kalanda and hammered her breastplate with her hand, "Ever since you fought with me and said those words to me, I have found that you are very powerful here, and you have never felt inferior to me, just like Li Jia and the others in that magic school. So, you should all have a lot of stories. ”

—————————————————

Xiao Chen and Li Jia gathered in a corner of the campsite, surrounded by a black cat basking on a rock.

"You see, that's it. Xiao Chen opened his hand and slowly shook at the black cat, and the black cat with its tail curled up suddenly stood up and looked at Xiao Chen with his eyes wide.

"This cat is a treasure that Caterina picked up, don't break its head. Li Jia looked at Xiao Chen unconvinced.

"It's okay! you still can't trust me?" Xiao Chen's hand rose and fell in a rhythm, and the cat began to slowly shake its head to his rhythm.

"You don't have many accidents playing magic? Isn't the haunting of the entire dormitory building last week your masterpiece? The soup spoon flying in the cafeteria is not your mistake? And the other day, the team leader Chang was in a daze for a minute in the meeting, and finally foamed at the mouth and fainted. Li Jia folded his hands and counted.

"Hey, I've never admitted it, but Chang Lin himself admitted that there was a sheep madness. How can you blame me for this?" Xiao Chen smiled slightly.

"The leader of Renchang has a good reputation, why don't you treat him so badly?"

"First, I didn't mean it, it was an accident, and I had a headache for most of the day! Second, I am most annoyed by this kind of person who has one set of people and one set of people who have the same set of people. When I was a journalist, I saw a lot of such people, and I could smell them from miles away. ”

"When you were a journalist, you always had a discipline. Aren't all you journalists flies? Li Jia pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Chen's hand, which seemed to have a gravitational pull, pulling the cat's head to rotate up and down, left and right.

"You're a nerd and angry, aren't you! This thing is not for people to see, nor is it for people, as long as you keep it. Hi, too lazy to explain more to you...... Hey, it's almost there. ”

I saw Xiao Chen's hand clenched into a fist and one hand, and the black cat, which was originally unapproachable, suddenly snorted, and then looked at Xiao Chen sluggishly. A few seconds later, it screamed "meow~" and quickly threw itself into Xiao Chen's arms, rubbing its head against his chest.

"This, this is it?" Li Jia asked, he stretched out his hand, trying to touch the black cat that was being held by Xiao Chen, but the black cat let out a shrill roar, and then bit his finger.

Li Jia was so frightened that she withdrew her hand and stepped back, "Why did this cat suddenly blow up? Shouldn't it be fascinated by your charm technique? Why is it so fierce?"

Xiao Chen scratched his head a little embarrassed.

Li Jia saw the cat crying again and again, clapped his hands and said, "Oh, I know! It's jealous. ”

"Less nonsense, do you want to learn. Xiao Chen put the cat on the ground and waved it away a few times with his hand, but the cat didn't go, but rubbed his trouser leg instead.

"Of course, of course! teach me this magic. I've already figured out how to use it!" said Li Jiale.

"Let's go, then. Oops!" Xiao Chen suddenly scratched his back, "I was bitten by something." Oops, again. ”

Li Jia watched Xiao Chen slap his hands on him.

"It's ...... , Could it be that the lice on the cat are also in love with you?" Li Jia patted his head and seemed to understand the joints, and at this time, Xiao Chen and the cat had already rushed to the stream in the forest and ran away.
