Today is Wu Meng's first day back to school, and this day really has no special significance.

She repeats first grade, but the lessons are boring for her, and her classmates, who are three years younger than her, have no fun.

When she was in school before, her grades were among the best.

Except for vocational classes.

She basically scored zero in her vocational class.

Wu ...... Wu Meng...... Senior Sister ...... Do you eat together? The same table rushed up, Wu Meng glanced back, it should also be a child of a worker's family.

Even if everyone is poor, the children of the workers' families are very different, and they have a special smell in them.

"Nope."

"Where are you going?"

"Leave me alone."

With that as she said that, she disappeared into the hallway holding the metal lunch box.

Wu Meng has the ability to probe true qi, just by looking at it, she can probably know the concentration of true qi in other people's bodies. After all, no one is taught how to hide their true qi, and in the Wasteland Age, what you have determines the resources you can obtain.

She walked up to the rooftop, which was empty. The next second, she turned around, quietly hid the lunch box behind her, and looked up.

Zhou Zong was half-lying on the roof of the building, his eyes closed, as if he was taking a sun bath.

The concentration of true qi on his body was really strong, except for the magic weapon that Xu Shengsai gave herself, she had never seen such a powerful true qi.

Zhou Zong didn't react at all, and didn't seem to sense Wu Meng's existence. So the latter took the lunch box and walked to the side and sat cross-legged, her head hurt from the sun, but she still ate with relish and looked at Zhou Zong, who was cultivating.

Since going to Zhang Wu's house, the food has been much better than before, and she was slowly attracted by the food, and just as she was immersed in the last bowl of rice, a shadow was cast in front of her.

Not?

Her mouth was stuffed with food, and shredded cucumbers leaked out.

On his dark face, a pair of big eyes blinked, very shiny.

"Not a grain of rice left." Zhou Zong sighed: "Do you know what sharing is?" ”

"You can't get used to me." Wu Meng swallowed the last bite and put the lunch box neatly: "You...... Haven't eaten? ”

"I forgot that they've been stalking me lately." Zhou Zong touched his stomach and sighed: "I want to find a relaxed place to eat." ”

"Then you can go and find it." Wu Meng sat upright: "I've eaten well." ”

"You're coming for me?" Zhou Zong looked around, but didn't see the family who was following him: "What are you doing?" ”

"I ......" Wu Meng wanted to say and stopped.

"Forget it, I still want to eat first." Zhou Zong said to himself: "I have to find a way to go down and buy ...... Damn, I already knew how to learn a few invisibility spells...... But that's a third-level spell, there's no ...... here."

"Hey."

"What?"

"If you're really distressed, why don't I go down and buy it for you?" Wu Meng rolled his eyes in his heart, but he still quickly put down the lunch box and stood up.

"yes, that makes sense." Zhou Zong thought about it seriously and took out all the silver coins in his pocket: "I have so many, you can't help me pad it." ”

A total of eight silver coins, one gold coin.

It's probably enough for Wu Meng and Xu Sheng to eat for three months.

"What do you want to eat?" Wu Meng didn't dare to take it.

"I can't get used to it at school." Zhou Zong said: "There is a restaurant called Chengfeng Lou outside the school, and I like the chef inside very much, so you buy one of their roast goose, and I invite you to eat it, ah." Three silver coins, the extra is yours. ”

"It's okay if I buy it." Wu Meng hesitated: "But aren't you discovered?" ”

"yes, damn it." Zhou Zongyi patted his head: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Go...... I know a fly restaurant, so I ...... I also liked the owner over there and gave me an extra spoonful of meat every time. ”

"Okay, please." Zhou Zong said: "Fortunately, you are here, thank you so much." Oh yes, what did you say you came to me for? ”

"I'll be back later." Wu Meng said: "You take care of my lunch box, don't lose it." ”

"Got it!" Zhou Zong is as immature as he looks, obviously the same age as her, but he feels like a child.

Maybe it's too well protected at home.

Wu Meng trotted downstairs and went to a simple restaurant that she only went to occasionally, picked left and right, and also bought a roast goose, and the boss laughed at her for being bullied and wanted to have a meal.

"Two copper coins. It's not cheap, Xiaomeng, this is the best goose I can buy, and this one is it today. ”

"Okay, you can give me more side dishes, and rice."

"Yo. You bought it for boys. ”

"Hey, why do you talk so much?" Wu Meng pulled the roast goose, covered his body and trotted back.

This is the first time she has helped someone buy food.

When she returned to the rooftop, Zhou Zong squatted in the corner to hide from the wind, and he was also holding Wu Meng's greasy broken iron box in his arms, and when the two of them showed the things in their arms, they looked at each other and smiled.

"It's not bad, I thought it would be worse." Zhou Zong devoured it, just like when he saw Wu Meng just now, his mouth was stuffed with roast goose.

"Everything is the same when cooked, the boss is very good, and he won't give me a fake."

"Really? How much is it? ”

"Two copper coins, huh." Wu Meng returned all the money Zhou Zong gave him: "When I invite you." ”

"You please...... Not...... It's only two copper coins, how can it be so cheap. Zhou Zong pushed the money back: "You keep it, it's just my pocket money today." ”

"You take it back, I don't want yours." Wu Meng put the silver coin in front of Zhou Zong and took back his lunch box: "You haven't helped me yet." ”

"Oh yes, I forgot." Zhou Zong took out a wet towel to wipe his mouth, quickly sorted out the eating scene, and asked very seriously, "How can I help you?" ”

"That ......" Seeing that he was so serious, Wu Meng was also a little embarrassed: "It was last time...... And you...... After that...... I'd like to give it another try......"

"What's the matter?" Zhou Zong seems to have forgotten: "Jumping to the roof? ”

"That's it...... That ......" Wu Meng gestured with a pistol, lowered his voice, and his face turned red: "Shoot me again......"

"Oh oh, I see, I see." Zhou Zong turned on his true qi, and a beam of white light shot out from the tips of his fingers, splashing onto the opposite wall, leaving only a mark.

Wu Meng nodded.

"Come on." Zhou Zong took off his coat, and under the scorching sun, the true qi on his body was about to explode.

"Hmm." Wu Meng nodded and took a few steps back.

This time, she was prepared.

She's been talking about it since the last time she got it right.

No one can help her, only this thing can.

Wu Meng knew that she could use True Qi, and if there was True Qi for her to use, she could use it very well.

But who can know the suffering of not being able to cultivate on their own?

Sou.

A white light shot in front of Wu Meng, her eyes blinked, and the treasure on her chest quickly condensed into a thumb-sized shield in front of her, easily blocking his attack.

True Qi is a very interesting thing, and there are many things that are not taught in textbooks, and maybe teachers don't know about them.

For example, the speed at which true qi condenses can be fast and slow, depending on the position and direction you have assigned to them, and if the direction is right, it is faster than light.

Sometimes, the strength of True Qi does not depend entirely on the concentration, different structures can resist different attacks, and even, if you can see through the opponent's attacks, you can work out the best defense structure.

True Qi is the most mysterious thing for Wu Meng.

It is precisely because she does not have it that she cherishes it very much.

"Take a break, your name is ......" Zhou Zong's voice came from beside him.

I don't know when, his attack stopped, his hands on his hips, panting.

Wu Meng looked up, and both of them were sweating profusely. But she was afraid that the smell on her body would not smell, so she took a few steps back.

"My name is Wu Meng, I said it."

"Oh, oh yes." Zhou Zong stretched out his hand to her: "My name is Zhou Zong, let's get acquainted again." But to be honest, you can really do it, and your reaction speed is not inferior to that of the teacher. ”

"If you push harder, I won't be able to stand it." Wu Meng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I can only control a little bit of my true qi, and it's not my own." ”

"So you want to be a mechanic, I see." Zhou Zong pouted like a child: "Then I don't hate mechanics." ”

"Hmph." Wu Meng took the tissue he handed and wiped his face.

In the first class of the afternoon, Wu Meng was so warped. Anyway, if the teacher can't find Zhou Zong, he will definitely not be able to find her.

The two of them sat on the steps, chatting with each other.

"It was ...... who took you away last time"

"It's my dad."

"Ang ......"

Then the two had nothing to say.

Zhou Zong rarely came into contact with girls, and his only hobby was cultivation.

Wu Meng rarely comes into contact with boys, and her family has no money.

"I'm actually curious, how did you do that?" Zhou Zong broke the silence and said softly: "That's it...... How could you condense your true qi in such a quick time? ”

"Ah, that...... I don't know. Wu Meng carefully wiped his sweat and sat a little farther away from Zhou Zong: "I just feel it." ”

"Talented, talented. Hey, are you my age? ”

"15 years old, born in June."

"Hey, I'm in December."

"That'...... What's the big deal. ”

"Then why did you just come to the academy? I'm almost graduating. ”

"I ......" Wu Meng wanted to speak again and again, but Zhou Zong didn't urge her, and he seemed to be cultivating silently when he had nothing to do.

In the silent corridor, from Wu Meng's mouth, the story she saw was told.

"Even in the old days, it was not easy to come to school here. Of course, if I was as talented as you, it would be fine, as long as everything was just right. Wu Meng said slowly: "But one day, something happened to the power station and buried my mother inside." At that time, I was in school, and I happened to test my true qi, and I found that I couldn't cultivate at all......"

"To make matters worse."

“……”

"Hey, don't cry, don't cry, I didn't mean to."

After coaxing beside him for a while, Wu Meng said intermittently.

"My dad couldn't make that much money later, and the water station where he worked stopped at the end, so he had to take me out of the city and find a secluded place to die. I don't want to wait for death, but having True Qi is our family's last hope, and if I can finally cultivate, at least I can leave a memory for my family. ”

"Then why did you come back in the end? You're still ...... You can't cultivate. ”

"Later......" Wu Meng swallowed: "It seems that my father picked up a magic weapon, or knew someone, and he told me that he could come back." ”

"What magic weapon, can I take a look?"

"No, he was planted in my body, and it is said that he found it in the body of a Lensa snake."

"But...... It's kind of weird. Zhou Zong thought for a while, frowned, and looked grim: "The change is too big." ”

"You know what? My dad took out the money for my schooling, as well as the money for accommodation, and made a lot of weird friends. Wu Meng buried his face between his legs and lowered his voice: "He said that there was someone behind him, but I was really worried." ”

"Doesn't sound like a bad thing." Zhou Zong said: "But are you afraid that someone will lie to him? ”

"I didn't dare to talk to him directly...... I even doubt it...... He's not my dad. ”

"It's a serious problem." Zhou Zong stood up and frowned: "This kind of thing is really possible, do you know when he changed?" ”

"Just before I returned to Anhuo City, probably ...... Less than a month. ”

"What happened?"

Wu dreamed for a while, and patted his hands lightly: "That's right, it's us...... Steal a Lensa snake egg and go home. It was a strange day that there was a strange man in a sack in the house. Nor can it be said that it is human...... It seemed to be a skeleton, and my dad fought it with a fairy armor, and won the battle, and then ...... He didn't know where to drag the body of the Lenza snake home......"

"Sack...... Skeleton? Zhou Zong paced back and forth on the side, bowing his head and groaning.

"You...... Any clues? ”

"I might have to go back and ask, but no, my dad should understand."

"Hey, don't you say it's okay." Wu Meng hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't want to say it yet, I'm just worried." ”

"That's ......," Zhou Zong said, "I've heard that there are some ancient professions that may manipulate people's spirits. What is it called...... Witches? It should be the name. I'll go back and help you check, but ......" Speaking of this, Zhou Zong smiled slyly: "I'll help you, can you also help me buy food at noon every day?" ”

"It's okay to run errands, you have to buy me money for food."

"You can also pay for the errands." Zhou Zongsheng hurriedly said as if he was afraid that she would regret it: "Then it's decided, I'll help you go to the library tomorrow." ”

"Good!" Wu Meng agreed, turned around and trotted down the steps, and her moan came from the corridor: "See you tomorrow." ”

"See you tomorrow."

I don't know if she can hear it.

Something like a sprout suddenly pulled out of his heart.

After thinking for a moment, he pulled out the communicator.

"Young master, why are you looking for me at this time, it's not class time? Are you skipping class again? Young master, you are only one foot away from the third level, you can't be lazy! ”

"Don't talk about it. Let me ask you, how much time is left for the last thing you said? Can you be sure? ”

"Yesterday, the master just changed his hexagram, saying that it was extended to two months."

"Okay."

Zhou Zong immediately hung up the phone.

Two months, I don't know if it's enough.

Even if it is not enough, take a few people from Anhuo City, he still has this face.
