1st Round:

The first time I saw that person was under a clear sky. The sky in Shikoku is like this, no matter what color it is dyed, whether it is sunny or rainy, if you look up at the sky, you will feel that heaven is just a stretch away. The man held out his slender hand to an ethereal spirit. Try to touch the clarity of the world that is no longer there.

The second time I saw him, he was still next to the city wall, and he was still a clear man who knew at a glance whether it was the river or the mood. He sat quietly on the green lawn with his legs crossed. A man quietly looked at the rootless white clouds. A pair of clear eyes can never find focus, giving people the feeling of being in the world. Even if you reach out and grab it, it's just an illusion.

The third time I saw him was on a rainy afternoon. Under the city walls, he hid in a grass hut on the side. Subconsciously looked up, and sure enough, that person was still in the old place. Why do you always look at the sky? Koki (Yuki) looked at the lonely figure of the man and suddenly understood something. Is it because I remember my family members who have been lost in the war? That's why I always look at the sky that the people of Shikoku call the rest of their souls. The young man who thought of the spring period silently looked at the stubborn figure in the bitter rain and fell into an indescribable sadness, unable to extricate himself.

Fourth ...... After several days of silent watch, it finally came to fruition. Suddenly something in the shape of an iron bucket fell from high in the sky. Before the tree could ring the bell, he hit the target, the man who had been in the same place for days. The little tree, who had woken up from the quagmire of grief, was once again stunned by this event in front of him that was beyond astronomical probability.

"Why don't you hurry up and take a look!" suddenly came from behind him.

Looking back, there was a person standing less than a foot behind him (Ryudou/Mufeng). Although it is just a small soldier defending the city, but in such a small country. Every soldier is a source of wealth for the nation. It can be one as a hundred. Therefore, whenever there is a war between the great powers, it is definitely an opportunity for the kings of the four countries to expand their national treasury. Not only soldiers, but even ordinary people are difficult for other countries to invade and insult. The cultivation of such a strong folk customs is, of course, inseparable from some hard conditions of the country itself, which was originally in a barren country. There are also no countries in the vicinity where you can trade with each other. Basically, these daily necessities are transported from far away. With nature so strict on the survival of the fittest, the remaining Shikoku people were either favored by the gods or brave warriors. But he's not the former, never has been.

Therefore, the strength of the strange man in front of him is far above the small tree.

I caught a glimpse of a white-fronted tiger embroidered on the man's waist. The military of Shikoku had a strict hierarchy. Elephants, lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, dogs, cats, rats. Each class has its own heraldry. The elephant wearer is respected, and most of them are royal symbols. The lion belongs to the marshal who has been fighting for many years. The tiger represents the eight generals under the marshal. Here are leopards, wolves, dogs, cats, and rats. Each class is subject to the classes above itself, and at the same time has to govern the classes below itself. As for him, he will be able to get his coat of arms tomorrow if he passes the exam.

"Yes. Sir. The boy understood the man's identity in an instant, and hurriedly responded, and at the same time quickly followed the man to the person who was knocked unconscious. Great, it seems that he is a very humane person unlike Mr. Yanyang. That cold face came to mind, and the young man couldn't help but shiver. As long as you get the coat of arms, it means that you can graduate from the teacher. Thinking of this, the corners of the young soldier's mouth rose uncontrollably.

"Good. The commander picked up the iron bucket beside the man in white, glanced at it, nodded, and came back with the iron bucket. The whole process was smooth and expressionless, like a machine that had been entered with a given command.

“... Commander, there seems to be a man lying over there. Xiaoshu couldn't help but cautiously prompt.

"Oh, is it?" The "machine" paused for a moment of serious thought and made a decisive decision: "Throw it out." ”

It's over, this guy's EQ is lower than that of Teacher Yanyang. Xiaoshu touched the cold sweat on his forehead.

"But—" The boy hesitated.

"What's your name?" When I looked up, I saw the man's crimson eyes, which were not as gray and resolute as a soldier's weapon. Seven points of laziness, three points of indifference conceal a kind of emotion that he is incomprehensible at this age. It wasn't until years later that he learned that it was the deeper despair of a decadent teenager who cried out for despair all day long, and it was called "discouragement." ”

"Little tree, do you want to know how scarce supplies are in this country right now?" the man crossed over to the little tree and stood on his left side. "Now the great powers are at war again, and the monarch of this country has already found an ally to support him. However, on the other hand, if the king of another country has a little brain, he will also use the same method to hire another small mercenary country to restrict this country. The man who appeared at such a time, where did he come from, and why did he come here? Every time he fights, he gambles and wins a few years of wealth. If you lose, the country will be ruined. How can you save people?" the commander paused, walked over the small tree, and said, "Have you considered these things before saving people?"

The man's words were soft and heavy. But it's like a needle that blinds people's hearts.

Looking at the weak figure under the scorching sun, Xiaoshu stammered: "But... This girl is out there alone..."

"It's not a girl, it's a counselor. The man lying on the ground suddenly turned his head and corrected. The voice of the indefatigable gender carries a constant flow of vitality.

“... Well, this gentleman, can you stand up and speak?" The heavy pressure naturally comes from the commander. The fright is not to be said, is it the angry voice of the person lying on the ground or his/her demonic face?

"That's right. The man turned his eyes, which were as black as ink and as bright as water. Slowly stood up from the ground, with a hint of delicacy in his movements, like Xizi. Xiaoshu couldn't help but want to step forward to help. Slender and slender limbs, a palm-sized face, and the light that flowed back and forth between gestures. Fortunately, it's in Shikoku, otherwise this rank might be knocked out and carried away at any time when walking on the road.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Ryuto: "The beautiful man elegantly combed his long hair with his fingers. Looking at the back of the young man in blue and smiling.

Is that the chief's name?" the young man thought to himself. However, the young man in blue did not stop at all. Just trying to walk ahead.

It is rare for friends of many years to reunite, no surprise, no joy, no emotion. It's just an indifferent back. The beautiful man paused, like an elegant statue of Venus.

"This gentleman has recognized the wrong person, right?" the young man thoughtfully stepped forward to clear the siege. If you are in such a place where you are not familiar with life, you always want someone to take care of it. So is my sister. I don't know how she is doing now in a foreign land. The young man with such a beautiful thought obviously did not listen to the chief's words.

"You can't be wrong. It's not a heartless person. How can someone who can always be seen when his eyes are closed and when he opens his eyes forget?" the beautiful man quietly looked at the figure that was fading away, smiled, and fell into the memory.

"Then why didn't he bother with you?" muttered Xiaoshu.

"Yes. The beautiful man came back to his senses, closed his left eye, tilted his head and thought for a while, "Maybe shy, right?"

"Shy?" said a lazy, impatient expression in his mind. Could it be because of the tsundere? The warm spring breeze blows, and the boy suddenly has a feeling of pore horror.

"But now it's important to find a place where you can live. The beautiful man squinted at the frightened young man. The green face does not leave traces of age, and the body has not yet grown. The only thing that is different from peers is a pair of eyes. It contains the steadfastness of vowing to defend his world with both hands. The young and fragile faith. Do all the teenagers of Shikoku have such eyes?

"But now that Shikoku is under martial law, it is better for Sir to leave as soon as possible. The little tree broke free in the cold reverie. added. Today is the last day of my study, and I can't make any mistakes, although I seem to be just a "weak woman" who is helpless. It's better to be careful. Maybe the commander just now came to check if he was derelict in his duties.

"The concubine has been waiting for Lang for three years, and she has tasted the suffering of the world for three years. Today, Xin has to see mercy from heaven, and he has to meet Yu Lang here. Unexpectedly, Lang is so cold-hearted and cold-faced, three years of wandering and searching, but he doesn't want to be ruthlessly abandoned..."

Xiaoshu looked at the beautiful man who suddenly began to cry in surprise. As well as the audience that suddenly appeared. There are so many people in this city. But when did he go from a gatekeeper to a negative man? Didn't anyone realize that this was a man? Why did everyone look at him angrily like a "righteous partner"? I'm just an innocent passerby.

"You—" said in a trembling gaze of thousands of murderous people. Then he met a pair of big watery eyes, but there were thousands of indescribable feelings in the quiet. The boy was instantly lost in this clear spring. Hear only your own voice:

"Go home. ”
