Chapter 56: Falling off the Cliff
Splitting Sakai, under the pretext of taking the students out on an outing in order to relieve the pressure of the students' cultivation, to carry out a plan to kill and seize the treasure against Wuqi, this is what Dori is planning to do. More than an hour later, Dorry announced the order to the first-year freshmen in the class to set off, "Let's go now!" As soon as these words came out, it was not surprising that Chloyd and a dozen other students in the class walked out of the school gate in a burst of laughter, and no one knew that their outing was actually a death trip for someone.
A few hours later, at the top of a hill in the westernmost part of the Sword Academy, a group of people stood. An old man with green hair and a kind face and a dozen children dressed in various leisurely costumes. The children were all about seven or eight years old, and the eldest was less than 16 years old. This hill is the destination of the outing of Wuqi and Chloyd, and at this time there is a very interesting phenomenon at the top of the mountain. As the leader of the team this time, the principal Duoli stood alone in front of a mountain cliff looking into the distance, his eyes were full of complicated and difficult colors, while the dozen or so students behind him were crowded together as if they had seen something new.
More than a dozen children gathered together, forming a small circle, enveloping Wuqi and Chloyd, who were in it, but the two people who were surrounded in it did not feel a trace of pressure, but liked the feeling of being noticed.
Between the two of them was a simple chessboard on a white piece of paper with a lattice, and in addition to the small squares on the paper, there were some rivers. However, the wooden chess pieces are very distinctive, and there are no words engraved on them, but they are painted one after another with animal patterns, including cats, dogs, tigers, leopards, lions, and even elephants and mice. This ancient beast chessboard is a strange backpack thing, this is the toy he brought out from Wushan's master Waltson, before leaving Wushan, when he can't find Waltson, he can only play with himself, and the thing he plays with is this beast chess. This is the most vivid, the simplest and the most suitable for children to play.
Naturally, Chloyd had played colossal chess, but he never imagined that his chess skills would be invincible. After losing to his opponent in three sets, he finally couldn't accept the fact of defeat and challenged Wuqi again, this time he gambled on his dignity and threatened to defeat his opponent. His bold remarks naturally attracted the attention of more than a dozen other students, and this is why they were watched by these dozen students.
Compared with the cold sweat on Chloyd's forehead, Wuqi's face was full of energy and smiles, and after he made a move without hesitation, he sighed regretfully and muttered, "Hey...... Squad leader: I think you'd better throw in the towel. Your tigers and lions and leopards have already been eaten by me, do you still want to win?"
"Shut up!" Chloyd's thick eyebrows furrowed, he glared at Wuqi with a displeased face, and said a little angrily, "You are not much better than me." Elephants, lions, tigers and leopards are dead, even dogs and cats are dead, and you still want to win? I still have elephants!"
After speaking, he looked solemnly at the chessboard and fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he slowly took a step forward from the only general elephant in his hand. Seeing that the other party had a stubborn temper that 10 horses couldn't pull back, Wuqi had to shake his head and sigh bitterly, then stopped talking and concentrated on playing chess.
Half an hour later, when Wuqi landed the mouse in his hand on the head of the elephant and ate the most lethal general in the beast chess, Chloyd's face suddenly changed, and he picked up the mouse that had eaten his elephant and threw it far away from the crowd, complaining again and again: "You are cheating! How can this mouse eat an elephant! There should be no rats, elephants are invincible. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Qi couldn't help but be stunned, he never thought that rats could eat elephants for anything. But he thought about it for a while, since this rule has been decided, he must abide by it, and when he is about to lose, he complains that the rules are wrong, isn't this a clear trick! This idea of his is also the common idea in the hearts of the dozen or so students who are watching them, but just as they are about to point fingers at Chloyd's cheating behavior and make a judgment, a small bald head squeezed into the crowd, only to hear him stretch out an index finger with a serious face and point at Wuqi and then point behind him, and say softly: "Wuqi! The principal is looking for you. ”
"Oh. Even if he was a little reluctant, he knew that nothing would come of arguing with Chloyd, so he smiled at Chloyd, who was a little stiff, and left the crowd and came to Dori. ,
"Oh! You're here!" Dori saw Wuqi, and the complicated look in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, Headmaster. Do you have anything to do with me?" Wuqi asked respectfully, bowing his head,
"Nothing serious. Just wanted you to do me a small favor. You see. After a faint smile, Dori stretched out an index finger and pointed at a small pink flower growing on the edge of the cliff in front of him, "That flower is a fine herb." I need it to treat an injury for a friend of mine. But I'm old, you see, this flower grows on the edge of a cliff, and I can't move......"
Speaking of this, Dori suddenly stopped talking, and deliberately coughed twice, and Wuqi knew what the other party meant at a glance. He has no motivation in cultivation, let alone progress, but it doesn't mean that his head is stupid, compared to his weaker physique than ordinary people, Wuqi's head is much smarter, of course, half of the credit is also due to Qingchengzi before his death to pass on the spiritual wisdom he realized to Wuqi's relationship, otherwise this child born from the lowest-level rat demonic beast in the Lanfa Continent would not have such a high IQ.
Helping others is the foundation of happiness This is the truth that Master Watson has taught him since he was a child, Wuqi deeply remembers this, although the place where the little flower is located is backed by a cliff, and the road leading to the little flower is also narrow and abnormal, but this width, Wu Qi is confident that as long as he is careful enough, there will definitely be no danger. Therefore, without any hesitation, he agreed, patted him heavily on the chest, and said with a confident smile: "Master Principal, leave it to me to get it." Just look at it here, and I'll pick it up for you. ”
"Then thank you!" Dori looked at Wuqi gratefully, but when the other party turned around and walked slowly towards the edge of the cliff where Xiaohua was, the corners of his mouth were inadvertently slightly upturned, drawing a narrow arc on his wrinkled face, and an extremely cold gaze suddenly appeared in his eyes.
It would be a lie to say that you are not afraid. Picking a small flower on the edge of a cliff at the top of a mountain that is thousands of meters high, let alone nothing is strange, even an adult will feel frightened, not to mention that he is just a child. However, Wuqi did it, even though his pants were already wet before he came to Xiaohua, he gritted his teeth and didn't let himself cry out in fear. When he plucked the small pink flower with a strong fragrance, Wuqi felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and accomplishment for the first time. He had a feeling as if he had done something great, and as long as he returned to Dori safely and handed over this little flower to the other party, then he would be sought after and respected by all his classmates, and even Chloyd would be impressed with him.
But alas, he no longer has this opportunity. At the same time that Wuqi was immersed in fantasy, one of Dori's right hands suddenly fanned a few times like a fan in front of him, and Wuqi felt a gust of wind suddenly appear behind him, breaking the balance he had managed to maintain at once. He only felt his heart sink suddenly, his eyes suddenly dropped, and his whole body fell like a falling rock under the cliff covered by white clouds.
Seeing Wuqi fall off the cliff with his own eyes, Dori's heart finally fell safely, and after he breathed a long sigh of relief, he turned to look at Chloyd and the others with a kind look of horror in his eyes and said with a smile: "Children. It's time for us to go back. That's all for today's outing. Wuqi's classmate accidentally fell off the cliff because he was greedy for fun, and he can't blame anyone else. Alright, let's pack our bags. ”
A child is a child. When they heard that the outing was over, their little faces, which were pale in fright from seeing Wuqi suddenly fall off the cliff, all became dissatisfied at the same time, "Lord Headmaster." I've only been playing for a while, and I'm going back? Can I play a little longer?"
"No, I can't. Naturally, Dori would not agree to let the children stay for a long time, not that he really didn't want to, but that he had other plans, and let the children go back to school as soon as possible, wouldn't he be able to return to the cliff of this place as soon as possible to retrieve the nameless scroll that had become an ownerless thing?
After some complaining, the children had to reluctantly carry their luggage and head down the mountain, only Chloyd remained silent, and before leaving, he looked at the cliff where Wuqi had fallen with a solemn face, thoughtfully. He didn't believe Dori's explanation. After getting along with Wuqi for so long, what kind of person Wuqi is, at least he knows better than Dori, that is a timid and afraid coward, but he is very enthusiastic. It is simply impossible to get him to go to that dangerous place unless he helps others.
But Chloyd clearly saw Wuqi fall from the edge of the cliff for no reason, and there must be something strange. But if Dori did something, why didn't he see any clues? There must be something wrong with this. Until he returned to school, Chloyd still had such doubts in his heart, so he didn't explain it to anyone, but casually said, "I've got something to do." Ran out of school.
