Chapter Thirty-Eight: Specialty Students
The man who sang the trumpet went to the crowd, carefully laid the shoulder on the ground, and pulled his wide sleeve between his elbows, and then stood still.
He wore an old but clean-washed linen towel around his neck, and he picked it up and wiped the sweat off his face. With the other hand, he took off the hat on his head and held it in his hand, fanning himself for a while.
Jiang Chen noticed that there were two huge bamboo baskets at both ends of his flat pole, and in one of the bamboo baskets were freshly picked green plants, which were of many kinds, and they were not classified, and they were piled together in a mess. In another basket was a water tank, which had no lid and was filled with spring water, and any more would come out of it.
The weight of a basket of herbs and a jar of spring water was much different, but this man had just put the center of the flat burden on his shoulder, and there was no inclination along the way. On the other hand, this full tank of water, from the halfway up the mountain where he appeared, all the way to the valley where they were, it seems that it has not spilled at all, which shows that this man's footwork is very steady, and it seems to be a staggering walk, but in fact, every step contains mystery.
Xia Mai smiled and waved his hand when he saw this person, and the man also grinned at the girl.
It was a middle-aged man, his face covered with swarpage and wrinkles blown by the mountain peaks. His hair seemed to be very long, all tied up on the top of his head, only a wooden hairpin and slightly messy, and at the same time he was wearing a loose dark blue cloth shirt, and a gourd and a string of copper coins hung on the dark red belt around his waist.
The middle-aged man didn't sell it, and knocked the flat shoulder twice with his fingernails, the sound was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
"Assemble!" he shouted to the shout, "it's class!"
Jiang Chen had already guessed the identity of the other party when Xia Mai greeted the other party, and at this time, he also followed the crowd and gathered around the man.
"My surname is Zhang!" After the classmates gathered around him, the middle-aged man introduced himself: "My name is Zhang Baihui, and I am the teacher of your course. His tone sounded very casual, but his voice was loud and melodious, and Jiang Chen only felt that the other party's voice was echoing back and forth in his ears, lingering.
Many students seemed to be still immersed in the trumpet just now, and when they heard him speak, their eyes slowly returned to focus, and they all gathered on Zhang Baihui.
"Teacher Zhang's number is very powerful. Xia Mai whispered: "When collecting medicine, in order to drive away the low-level beasts in the forest, don't we all have to bring shaking lights." And it is said that Mr. Zhang only needs to shout two trumpets, and most demon beasts don't even dare to come out of their holes, which is more effective than the Ice Plain Tiger Roar of the King of Beasts. ”
"Can singing scare people?" said the fat man, "What is the principle?"
"There are a group of people who achieve a certain effect by incorporating the 'spirit' into the music box dance, or the painting and calligraphy and so on. It is said that this way of manipulating the 'spirit' is particularly dependent on talent, and Mr. Zhang relied on singing the trumpet in the mountains to realize the Tao!"
Xia Mai briefly introduced Zhang Baihui's deeds, but Jiang Chen's thoughts drifted away. He remembered that when school first started, Zhu Yuanning said that in order to cover up the afternoon classes of the cultivators, they were arranged to be art students. For example, his specialty is Kyushu Historical Musical Instrument Xun, not only that, but even in order to lie rigorously, he also arranged a few music theory lessons for him every week, specifically for him to practice musical instruments...... But what can I say about the results he has blown out so far...... Don't say it, don't say it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen became curious and asked casually, "Speaking of which...... What kind of special students does the academy arrange for you?"
Xia Mai was not embarrassed, and replied directly: "I am an art student, and I happened to learn some when I was a child, but it is reasonable." ”
It is indeed very in line with the temperament of summer wheat, at least it is much more reliable than its own project. Then he asked the fat man, "What about you?"
Unexpectedly, the fat man who had always been faceless and skinless twisted and pinched for a long time, but he refused to say anything, Jiang Chen became more and more curious, so he said step by step: "The school arranged for me to blow Xun, it's unpopular, I have to blow for several days to make a sound...... You can't be worse than me. ”
"It's not unpopular. The fat man scratched his head: "It's just...... That one...... I'm a dance specialist. ”
Jing Yu next to him was taking out a little bird food to feed Xiaobai, and when he heard this, he didn't know why, his hand shook, as if he had accidentally stuck the grain in Xiaobai's throat. I heard the little white bird whistling, standing on Jingyu's shoulder and shaking his body desperately.
"I ...... I'm actually quite talented. Sun Qian shook the fat on his body, put on a strange shape and said: "I learned that, Latin, it's Rumba cha or something, the teacher said that I learned very quickly." ”
In response to his words, the three of them tacitly chose to respond with silence...... In fact, Jiang Chen couldn't understand what specialties the school had arranged for these cultivators, and they almost didn't correspond to their personal circumstances. It shouldn't be that the dean of the students closed his eyes and drew lots for them to decide, and he even suspected that the academic affairs of Boyang Academy might have some misunderstanding about the art form of the "soulless".
I heard the fat man add again: "You may not believe it, I have been dancing with my mother since I was a child, and my waist is very soft......"
Xia Mai couldn't help but laughed out loud: "Okay, next time there is a linkage event between the colleges, you must perform it." Jiang Chen also nodded, expressing his agreement.
Chang Changchen, the special director of Jingyu, knew that it was a musical instrument like him, and it was a very strange instrument, called the Theremin. That's why they take music theory lessons together every Wednesday night. He had listened to each other's practice in the dormitory before, and I have to say that Jingyu, a good student, seemed to have no talent for music, and the sound of the piano was like a ghost, which made him feel the urge to sit separately from the other party.
......
A few people here were distracted for a moment, and Zhang Baihui had been explaining for a while, and he didn't know what to distribute to his classmates at this time. Jiang Chen was a little embarrassed, just now he dragged everyone to desert, and he couldn't keep up with the progress at this time, so he asked, "What is this sending teacher?"
Obviously, Jingyu's attention just now was on the fat man's Latin dance, and he somehow listened to the lesson clearly, and replied to him: "Send a few herbs, and you will be free to move around for a while, and you should look for it." ”
Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to get three plants with different appearances, only to hear Zhang Baihui emphasized: "We don't set a final exam for this class, and the usual score is the total score." Please all students are grouped by themselves, each group is a maximum of six people, led by a senior student, each team needs to find at least five plants of each herb, this is the basic score, and the other collected products brought back will give you extra points according to my judgment. ”
Seniors?
Jiang Chen couldn't help but look around, he hadn't looked at the classmates around him very carefully since just now, because he didn't know anyone except for the eleven of the thirteen. After careful observation at this time, I found that sure enough, the number of people in this class was almost ten more than that of other big classes, and it seemed that it should be the senior students mentioned by Zhang Baihui.
Among the ten or so extra men, he was surprised to see a familiar face.
"I'll just follow you. A boy with a gentle voice walked towards them and nodded towards Jiang Chen.
"Senior Yuanning. Jiang Chen followed and said hello.
Zhu Yuanning is a very eye-catching type, it is a little strange that Jiang Chen has not noticed the other party after standing here for so long. But if you think about it, this man seems to be a household name and a model student, and it is not surprising that he was brought in to take junior students to do voluntary labor.
In fact, he couldn't tell the two brothers Zhu Yuanning and Zhu Yuanqing, but fortunately, his younger brother Zhu Yuanqing was in class at the branch school in Sichuan Si, and he would not usually meet him, so he avoided the embarrassment of calling the wrong person.
"I'm in a group with you!" Before Zhu Yuanning could continue to speak, a very excited female voice came from behind.
You don't have to look back to know that it must be Zhu Yuanning's loyal little fan sister Tang Mengyao. This girl, who looked very immature on the outside, ran and jumped with his little rabbit backpack on her back and squeezed to Zhu Yuanning's side, and shouted sweetly: "Hello, senior!"
Zhu Yuanning smiled and nodded, and said hello.
"The radius of ten kilometers from here is protected by Boyang Academy, please pay attention not to exceed the range when searching!" Zhang Baihui instructed a few more safety issues, and then announced that everyone was free to move.
All told, there were already five people in their team, and there was still one thing missing. Originally, it was not mandatory to be full, so several people took out tools such as the compass and prepared to set off like this.
At this time, a timid voice sounded out of nowhere: "That...... Are you still short of people?"
This man's voice is as thin as a mosquito's groan, and it will burst into the ears of the people. The fat man didn't hear clearly, turned his head and asked, "What are you talking about?"
It was none other than Guan Yang who was standing there cowardly. After seeing the identity of the other party, the fat man's face couldn't help but turn a little colder, on the one hand, this fat man with a clear love and hate distinction counted Guan Yang as a man with glasses, and on the other hand, he didn't like this kind of cowardly character the most, so he said angrily: "Whatever you want." ”
Guan Yang's face turned even redder, and Jiang Chen was very afraid that he would brush his face with his hands in the next second, and he was about to say something to comfort the other party's seven-point exquisite glass heart.
"Yes, come with us. Zhu Yuanning spoke first. There was a comforting power in his voice, and Guan Yang raised his head when he heard his words, his eyes were already full of tears, and then he rubbed his sleeve and gave birth to a bright smile.
The girls were very friendly to him, Xia Mai nodded and smiled at him, and Tang Mengyao was more direct, rushing directly to Guan Yang and pulling his arm to walk together, looking like a pair of little girlfriends.
Jiang Chen was a little stunned, because his sense of déjà vu came again...... Why do you always feel that Guan Yang's smile, where have you seen it?
