Chapter 24: The Promise to Hold Hands
The process was very hard, but the first exam was finally passed, Mu Xiaofeng and his party returned to the city, and then found a tavern for five people to celebrate.
The night had just fallen, so the tavern was almost overcrowded, and they could barely find a place. Just when they were helpless, an old and loud voice came from the front, "Mu Xiaofeng!" The kids come here to sit. ”
Mu Xiaofeng and the five of them looked at the familiar voice, and it turned out that Dean Kaga was sitting there. Dean Kaga held a large wine glass, looked at Mu Xiaofeng and them with a smile, and kept waving to them with his other hand.
The five of them were quite familiar with Dean Kaga, after all, in the final of the last freshman competition, several of them had impressed everyone, and the five of them sat down at Dean Caja's table.
After saying goodbye to Dean Cajah, Xi Mo couldn't help it, and shouted for a lot of food, it seemed that he was already hungry, after all, he hadn't eaten or drunk for a day.
Dean Kaga looked at the five of them, thoughtful, and then his expression suddenly became solemn, and he turned his head to Zhang Wenyu and said, "Zhang Wenyu, I know all the circumstances of this exam, so I also know that you went crazy again in the exam, just like six years ago. But I'm giving you a ban now, which is to control your emotions no matter what, and don't attract too many people's attention. ”
Zhang Wenyu also knew that this matter had become serious when he heard Dean Kaga say this, and he himself did not figure out where this power in his body came from. Zhang Wenyu assured Dean Caga that he would control his emotions, and then he buried himself in deep thought, planning when he would figure out the source of this power.
The group of people talked and laughed, ate and drank enough, and it was also very late, but at this time, Qin Baoyi suddenly remembered an important matter, that is, about the second exam. Qin Baoyi hurriedly asked Xi Mo at this time: "Xi Mo, the envelope that the teacher handed you just now should be about the second exam, right?" Take it apart and see what it says. ”
Xi Mo was also stunned by Qin Baoyi's question, and he seemed to have forgotten about it. He hurriedly rummaged left and right in various places on his body that could hold things, but he couldn't find anything, and Xi Mo, who was anxious, was sweating profusely.
However, Dean Kaga, who was beside him, looked calm, touched his long white beard, smiled on his face, and then waved his hand to Xi Mo and said, "Haha, Xi Mo, you are going to be a bad thing, but fortunately, I can tell you the content of the second exam." ”
When everyone heard Dean Kaga say this, their hanging hearts were put down, especially Xi Mo, who breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had already found the letter.
Dean Kaga slowly explained the content of this second exam, and it turned out that the task of this second exam was the same, that is, after two days, each team had to make their own card. One of the five cards has the character "Wang" written on it, and the other four cards have the character "Shi" written on it. Stick the lettered side of this card on the back of the person. When a team member is completely defeated and incapacitated, the card behind him can be removed by the opponent, if it is the word "king", the team will be directly out, if it is the word "soldier", they can continue to fight. And this time the exam is a scuffle, and everyone is once again in the forest of weapons.
Hearing Dean Kaga say this, Qiao Zi immediately felt that something was wrong, and she asked Dean Kaga: "Dean, then no matter who starts the battle first in this exam, it will be disadvantageous, so won't everyone fight?" Mu Xiaofeng did feel very reasonable when he heard Qiao Zi say this, under this condition, the person who strikes first may be reaped by others in the end, regardless of victory or defeat, so it is the best choice to stand still.
Dean Kaga was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then slapped his head and laughed: "Oh, people are old, look at my memory!" I forgot to tell you, this exam is three days. After three days, the teams that are not eliminated will have a settlement, that is, it depends on what cards you have in your hand, and if you don't have any cards, you will be counted out. There is also a limit to the number of cards each team can have, that is, each team can only have a maximum of five cards, and the cards they have cannot be discarded. Remember the top eight in this exam to qualify for the next exam. As Dean Kaga said this, his gaze suddenly deepened.
Mu Xiaofeng now understands that this rule is an incentive for all teams, and it is also a limit, motivating you to fight, but you can't easily defeat your opponents, because you can only defeat five opponents at most. This competition is not only a competition of combat strength, but also a competition of mind and strategy.
"It seems that you all understand the rules of this second game, and it's not too early, so you all go home and rest well and get ready." Dean Kaga stood up and motioned for everyone to go back, and everyone nodded and got up to leave.
At this moment, a letter suddenly slipped out of Xi Mo's sleeve, and it seemed that this was the letter that the uncle had given to Xi Mo about the second exam. Xi Mo saw that this letter fell out of his body, and his face suddenly changed drastically, and he was shocked.
Xi Mo hurriedly picked up the letter on the ground, then smiled awkwardly at everyone, and said: "Sometimes this thing doesn't appear when you want to find it, but if you don't look for it, it will automatically appear in front of you." After saying that, Xi Mo carefully put away the envelope and hid it in the clothes inside.
At this time, Dean Kaga also laughed, and then came over and patted Xi Mo's shoulder to help him out, "Haha, it's okay, that letter is useless, it just so happens that I will go back with you to visit your grandfather." With that, Dean Kaga walked out of the tavern with Xi Mo, Xi Mo seemed a little reluctant, and looked back at Mu Xiaofeng and the others as he walked.
After Xi Mo and Dean Kaga left, Qin Baoyi also took Zhang Wenyu's hand and ran, saying that she had gotten Zhang Wenyu some accessories to calm her mood, in fact, Zhang Wenyu knew in her heart that this Qin Baoyi wanted to give Qiao Zi and Mu Xiaofeng a chance to get along, which may also be the reason why Xi Mo was reluctant to go back with Dean Kajia.
Everyone else left suddenly, leaving Mu Xiaofeng and Qiao Zi looking at each other, they hadn't been together alone like this for a long time. Mu Xiaofeng was a little embarrassed, and he asked Qiao Zi a little timidly: "They all went back, will I send you back too?" Mu Xiaofeng was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know why he was a little uneasy in his heart when facing Qiao Zi.
Qiao Zi looked at Mu Xiaofeng's embarrassing appearance, and couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering, Qiao Zi saw that Mu Xiaofeng was fighting bravely, and she certainly felt a little funny when she saw this timid Mu Xiaofeng. Qiao Zi waved his hand to Mu Xiaofeng and said, "Tomorrow there is a day where the time can be adjusted." We can go back later, or you can go for a walk with me, right? ”
Mu Xiaofeng was stunned, he probably didn't expect Qiao Zi to ask him to take a walk, he might have been too surprised and didn't react for a while, and his mind kept thinking about all Qiao Zi's actions just now.
Qiao Zi saw that Mu Xiaofeng was stunned, smiled again, and then gently smashed Mu Xiaofeng's head with a fist, and said angrily: "You, don't be stunned!" There's no time to go shopping any later. ”
Mu Xiaofeng couldn't help but be awakened by this knock on the door of his head, and was pulled back to reality by Qiao Zi's words just now. Mu Xiaofeng didn't want to waste this precious time between the two, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed, and the two slowly walked away from the tavern.
In fact, there are no new places in this Huguan City for them to go to play, and after six years here, they have been to almost all the places they can go in this city. They have been talking about their experiences since childhood, talking and laughing along the way, and the two of them have also learned a lot about each other.
It turns out that Qiao Zi's family is also a larger family, and the family lives in the middle of Junguo, close to the imperial capital but not in the imperial capital, but Qiao Zi is a separate family, and she lives in Luohai City. Qiao Zi's family has always had contact with Xi Mo's family, but she had never seen Xi Mo before Qiao Zi came to Huguan City.
Happy time always flies quickly, it's late at night, and it's time for the two of them to say goodbye. Qiao Zi held the corner of Mu Xiaofeng's clothes, and then Mu Xiaofeng smiled and was dragged away like this, neither of them spoke, and gradually walked downstairs where Qiao Zi lived. Mu Xiaofeng stopped, and Qiao Zi also stopped.
Qiao Zi raised his head, looked at Mu Xiaofeng, and then asked him in a gentle tone, "How long can I lead you like this?" ”
Mu Xiaofeng was stunned by Qiao Zi's words, he didn't expect Qiao Zi to ask such a question. "How long is enough? I want it for a long time, I want it forever, but can I do it? Mu Xiaofeng thought about these questions silently in his heart.
Mu Xiaofeng didn't say what he was thinking in his heart, he just turned around, showed a smile to Qiao Zi, and then gently flicked her forehead, and replied, "What are you thinking in your little head?" Don't worry, we'll all have an accident. Mu Xiaofeng's understatement changed the topic, and he himself understood that he couldn't answer Qiao Zi's question.
When Qiao Zi heard this Mu Xiaofeng's answer, his heart was a little complicated, maybe the future was too far away, and this answer was neither good nor bad.
Mu Xiaofeng looked at Qiao Zi's head drooping, and understood that Qiao Zi was not satisfied with this answer, but he himself was secretly happy, after all, he also guessed Qiao Zi's intentions. Mu Xiaofeng suddenly grabbed Qiao Zi's hands tightly, stared at Qiao Zi with straight eyes, and then swore to her: "I promise you, as long as I have a breath here, I will not let you be in danger." ”
Qiao Zi was frightened by Mu Xiaofeng's actions, she looked up at Mu Xiaofeng's eyes, couldn't help blushing slightly, lowered her head again, pulled out her hand gently, and responded softly: "Hmm." But I don't want you to be in danger, you have to promise me that neither of us can have an accident. Mu Xiaofeng smiled and nodded in agreement, and then the two reluctantly said goodbye.
