Volume 1 The Caged Bird Chapter 7 School (1) Choice
After the rain, the high bridge looks like an old antique from a hundred years ago, the corroded rust is crawling like a snake, and the bulky nose is whimpering, going back and forth in the silent mountains. Those figures walking on the railroad tracks and shuttling in the hazy water vapor are the corpse collectors of the dead. Some people have counted more than 80 cloth bags in total, and few people know what is inside the cloth bags. They all hide in various "hidden" places, like rats hiding in stinky ditches.
Some of them shouted at the people who were carrying the bags, "Hey, somebody's hurt here. The men just looked back at the man coldly, and then hurried away. Drops of red liquid seeped out of the sacks, frightening the man whose face was pale with anger to say a word, and his face turned pale.
Zhang Monkey grabbed the rope and climbed up carefully, and he was wondering why Mina was carrying ropes, knives, and the like when suddenly someone reached out to him. It was the face of a middle-aged man, with burnt hair the thickness of a steel needle. There was a shallow knife mark on his face, his eyes were quiet, and Zhang Monkey handed his hand to him with confidence.
He looked at the hunting knife in Zhang Hou's hand like a burnt match, and said solemnly, "Welcome to join, hunter." ”
He walked around the train, like an old commander who had finished a battle, inspecting the bloody battlefield. Zhang Monkey found that he was walking a little bumpy, and looked at his back a little lonely, but seeing his quiet eyes, he felt that this was an omnipotent elder.
At this moment, no one knew this man, only because they had only met for the first time. But in the days to come, perhaps some of them will never forget this man.
He stood on a piece of black iron on the train, and just watched the busy flow of people quietly.
In a violent cough, Xia Ming struggled out of bed. The voice sounded so heartbreaking that it scared both Zhang and Mina into a knees.
Xia Ming's memory is still stuck in the fight with the monster, when he swallowed a mouthful of the monster's blood, and when he woke up, the strange smell was still fighting in his stomach.
It took him a while to come to his senses, and he asked in a low voice, "Am I still alive?"
"Brother Ming, of course we are still alive. Zhang Monkey said excitedly. "It was the student council president who saved us. ”
"Really?" Xia Ming covered his head with some pain, and finally remembered the two flashing hunting knives before he fell unconscious. The speed of the knife only left an extremely brief memory in his mind.
He lay back on the bed heavily, and said in a hoarse voice, "Are everyone alright?"
"It's all right!" said Mina, "but there's not much left, as I said a long time ago." ”
She stood up, yawned, and said, "Since you're awake, I'll go back first." ”
She rubbed her eyes and walked away along the almost smoothed patterned brick plank. Xia Ming was stunned, and looked at her back, only to find that this was a very large house.
An ancient rusty chandelier hangs in the center of the ceiling, and twenty-four white candles burn with different light and dark flames. Behind each of the pillars was two rudimentary beds, on which the people were either cast and hung or bandaged. Listen closely, there is a groan of pain, heavy, floating back and forth in the room. The flavors of various plasters mix into a pungent smell. The ticking of the pendulum was out of sight, and the dark view outside the window indicated that it was night, or, later. Xia Ming frowned and asked Zhang Monkey, "This is ...... Ward?"
"yes. Brother Ming, you've been asleep for two days. We've already packed up the dormitory for you, and as for your stay or destination, Mina applied for it on her own initiative. Zhang Monkey still said with some doubts. "But they agreed, but I think you'll choose to stay. ”
"Then it's better for you to help me thank her. Xia Ming nodded.
He stood up, the smell of plaster in the room hypnotizing his brain, and he said, "Let's go out, I'm healed." ”
He changed out of the indecent white hospital gown and followed behind Zhang Monkey, who was a little "arrogant" in walking.
Zhang Monkey walks like this, his body sways from side to side when he walks, but he is really a responsible person. In terms of fighting, although Zhang Monkey is thin, his fists are very hard. But there will always be times when two fists are invincible to four hands, and at that time, as long as President Xia came forward and said a word, he could save him from being bruised all over his body.
His ears are longer and more pointed than normal people, and this should also be for a reason.
"Brother Ming, you have to be careful when you go back to the dormitory. Some of my brothers admire you, and some of them are deliberately looking for trouble. Zhang Monkey walked as he walked. "But if you don't feel good, a few people in the dormitory can beat him together. But it's not good if the instructor finds out. ”
"Instructor?" Xia Ming asked.
"yes, you've slept for two days, and of course you don't know something. Zhang Monkey said. "Our dormitory is at 803 in N11, but remember! Don't look at the bandaged ones, they only lay down later!"
Xia Ming was stunned, it seems that the people who are currently staying in the school are all those who have passed the assessment.
"There are six people in our dormitory, except for the two of us, and there is Rand Roman from Sanam, a short man with two front teeth, a bit silly, but not bad. I heard that Sanam is also close to the wall. ”
Xia Ming shook his head, he didn't know where Sanan was.
"Shi Yu Minghong, a tall man with glasses, I heard that he played abnormally and was unlucky to come here"
"Ferrin Otto, this man doesn't talk much, he looks like a cow, and says he came to the academy to be a hunter, and finally the boy from Sulos, who speaks ill of you behind your back. However, there is ..... in this Something seems to be wrong?"
"What's the problem?"
"They didn't believe me!"
"821 Class 51 Training Soldier, Xia Ming, No. 114, Hometown: Snow Stone Town!"
The finely ground chain was tied to the window shelf, and Shi Yu Minghong carefully read the words on the iron plate.
"It can't be the same name and surname, right? You look at the way he is lying, how can he have the temperament that a senior should have?"
"Who knows how that kid was stunned for two days!, such a person doesn't know why the academy would keep him!" Sulos said contemptuously as he lay on his bed. When they knew the enemy they were going to face, and what they had experienced last night, the smart ones chose to leave. They were carried away by the smoky train, and when they left, Sulos saw that they were all relieved, and some even looked at him with the eyes of fools, but even Sullos himself did not understand why he stayed.
Saying that he is brave and wants to contribute to humanity is just a temporary excuse.
People often don't have enough time to make a choice, let alone know whether their choice is right or wrong, but their choice becomes a reason for them to go wrong, which we call "excuses"
"But if it's really that Xia University president, it will be terrible. Shi Yuminghong craned his neck and said. For him, President Xia is his idol. He is a kind of legend, very powerful, very powerful, in the words of the teacher, respect for teachers, noble conduct, diligent study, unity of classmates, excellent grades, three good students... In their words, it is, the son of the turbid world, the beautiful boy...// There is really no example of the overhead
"Isn't it just a cheater! what's the big deal. Sullos said disdainfully.
There was a bang, and a lot of stuff spilled on the ground.
The head of the bed on the opposite side slammed, slammed, and was thrilling.
"What the hell are you doing, Rand, on a big night, are you trying to bring in the instructor?" said Sullos, waving his fist on the bed.
"Yes, I'm sorry!" Randt said, clutching his bulging head, "a box is broken!"
"Rand, I feel like I've seen you somewhere?"
Minghong sat at the head of the bed at this moment before taking off a sock, and saw that Rand was in trouble, so he also leaned down to help him clean up.
Rand said, "Is there any?"
"What is this, this?" Akihiro was shocked to discern the round objects that had collapsed on the ground from the faint light.
"This is...," Akihiro said in shock. "Baht money!"
"Yes!" Rand didn't understand why Ming Hong was so shocked, probably because he was shocked by his wealth!
"It's a pity that it's useless, it's not that the academy doesn't need this. If you want it, I'll give it to you, and everyone will take some, and you're welcome. ”
There is absolutely no such thing as a second ancestor here, and in order for them to survive, they must earn enough "points" like money to exchange for food. This rule is clearly written in their freshman handbook.
"No!" Minghong said, standing up. "I know who you are!"
"What?" Rand still didn't understand.
Minghong said: "You are the little boy who sells oil lamps! The profiteer who takes advantage of the fire to rob! Okay, I can't imagine that you cheated so much money in one night!"
"You, you recognize the wrong person, I, I..."
"You dare to quibble!" Ming Hong's eyes widened. "The benefits are quickly shared with us, otherwise I will go to the Ministry of Discipline to report you, do you understand, Brother Oil Lamp!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Minghong, it's a little meaning, it's not a tribute!" Rand laughed, and quickly picked up a pile from the ground, and sure enough, he looked like a treacherous businessman.
Ming Hong is not polite, this coin is indeed useless in the academy, help it keep it, hold it in his arms, and it can cool down when the weather is hot.
"Go to bed early! I have to train early tomorrow!" said Ferrin, in a low voice.
Fei Lin generally did not speak, but as long as he spoke, no one dared not listen. The violent muscles of his body played a big role, after all, no one wants to be punched by such a person. And, looking at his vicious face, who knows if he punches you or just throws you out.
The door to the dormitory was opened at this time, and two people stood outside the door.
Zhang Monkey went to take care of the unconscious Xia Ming, did the instructor discover their "secret"? No, that person looked familiar!
It was he who woke up.
Is that the person finally able to know.
"Xia, Xia, Big, College Dean?" Akihiro stepped forward excitedly, one of his socks still on his feet, and a strange sour smell permeated the air in the dormitory.
Xia Ming walked in expressionlessly, deeply realized what "abalone wanton" was, looked at Shang Ming's four pairs of eyes, and said, "Ah Ming, Xia Ming, or Ah Ming." ”
His brevity shows that he doesn't want to say much, doesn't want to talk.
"Xia, University Dean!" Ming Hong leaned over unwillingly.
"You recognize the wrong person, my name is Xia Ming. Xia Ming stared at him and said.
"You're really not President Xia?" Ming Hong looked a little disappointed. If Dean Xia wasn't here, where would he be now?
"Can't you just panic and lie to us? Aren't you very happy to have the same name as Principal Xia?"
"yes. Xia Ming said a word, and then went to bed.
Ming Hong was confused, and hurriedly said to Zhang Monkey: "Little monkey, you confess honestly!
"Yes!" Zhang Monkey said. "He's the dean!" he said in a heaviated tone, emphasizing the three words of the dean.
"Okay, little monkey, you're still lying to us, aren't you?"
Zhang Monkey was speechless, he told them from the beginning, how many times did he have to ask?
Rand came over with two broken bags, handed them to Zhang Monkey with a smile and said, "One for each person, and one for you." It's useless in the academy, but when you get outside, it's all a treasure. ”
Rand looked at Xia Ming who was lying on the bed, and felt as if he had seen him somewhere, but he had seen too many new faces in the past few days, and he didn't know if this was a psychological reaction.
"Rand, I didn't expect you to be a little god of wealth!" Zhang Monkey opened the bag, his eyes shining authentically.
"Since you are familiar with Brother Xia, this is also left to you for safekeeping. Rand felt much more relaxed, he said. "I'm going to have morning training tomorrow, so let's rest early. ”
"Yes, good night!" Zhang Monkey climbed into his bed.
This day ended like this, Zhang Monkey did not fall asleep, the time of the past few days passed very fast, at this moment he thought about one thing over and over again, why did he choose to stay? This place is obviously very scary, and the academy obviously also left him the opportunity to choose and various benefits.
What a comfortable and comfortable world it is, what a wonderful thing it is!
If you want to do something else, it means that you will lose that comfort.
Even if it was once your ideal, or something that made life more meaningful, are you still willing to do it?
I didn't want to, but I did it anyway. Then congratulations and welcome to the Hunter Academy. I'm Headmaster, Hoigre Varga.
Four years, I will spend four years to make you a real hunter.
