Evetrona's old stories

The girl was a little proud, she continued: "However, she is still willing to be friends with you, because she also said..."

"What did you say?"

There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance.The girl glanced back, and then gave Di Geng the bouquet in her hand.

"She's probably back." The girl shrugged with a smile. "Give her the flowers for me. I have to go, so I won't chat. You can ask her yourself when you have time."

After finishing speaking, the girl held up the hem of her skirt and ran into the apartment like flying.

"Hey, it's really infuriating!" Di Geng waved the flower in his hand, and now he really wanted to find someone to fight with.

[137] Under the fame (the fourteenth)

Eve saw the two people downstairs in the apartment from a long distance away, and she thought it was her eyesight.

Di Geng and Lin Xin were much darker - not because of the light, the skin color was obviously exposed by the sun.

Eve got out of the carriage, thanked the driver, and walked towards the two of them.Because of the dress, she couldn't walk with the usual long strides, so to Dicken, her gait looked very deliberate.

"Where have you been and why are you only coming back now?"

Di could hear more, there was a trace of complaint in her tone.

"We went to the south, where one of my uncles lives." Di Geng said with a smile, "I left in a hurry, so I didn't have time to tell you."

"Could it be that you went to do farm work? You two seem to be much stronger." Eve looked at the two in front of her.

"I've been training in the army. It's hard not to think about it." Di Geng only wore a thin shirt today. His hair was cut short and his shoulders were broadened. Now he finally looked like a young man.

"You guys are really motivated." Eve smiled.Not seeing each other for a few months, the dialogue between them seemed a little blunt.

"It's boring to be idle, and it just so happens that Lin Xin is willing to accompany me, so... let's go." Di Geng stretched out his arms and gave her the bouquet in his hand, "I just met your friend when I was waiting for you, and she asked me to pass this bouquet to you. Oh, it's the girl who is with you often. I can't remember her name."

"It's Xilinya." Eve held the bouquet in her hands.

"Well." Di Geng smelled a faint smell of alcohol from her body, "Where did you go today?" He asked.

Eve sighed, "That's a long story, this year may be very busy."

"I heard..." Di Geng nodded, expressing his understanding, "I was really taken aback when I first came back. A lot of people have been talking about you recently. It seems that a lot of things happened during the holiday."

"What about you?" Eve asked him, "Are you planning to leave this time?"

"Haha, it depends on your mood." Di Geng shook his head.

The girl pouted, dissatisfied with his ambiguous attitude.

"Lin Xin, you're still so reticent." Eve looked at the big tall man at the side again, and she half-jokingly said, "If I don't talk to you all this time, don't you plan to say hello to me today? "

Lin Xin smiled shyly, as if he still didn't intend to speak.

"He is afraid of affecting us." Di Geng patted the tall man on the shoulder, "My brother is very loyal. It's a pity I didn't know him earlier."

"Then you should just get married."

"Hey, even you make jokes like this." Di Geng laughed loudly, "That's impossible, marriage is only bound by a piece of paper, and the relationship between brothers is not as strong as it is."

Eve laughed too.

"How long have you been waiting for me? Haven't finished eating yet? Shall we find a place to eat first?"

"It's okay, you won't die of starvation if you don't eat a meal." Di Geng waved his hand, "You're tired, you'd better go back and rest early."

Eve took out a small handful of shiny things from the small hidden pocket at her waist and shared them between the two. It was a few foil-wrapped candies that Ms. Rojeka had given her in the morning.

Di Geng felt the warmth from the palm of his hand, and sighed in his heart—what kind of growth environment can produce such a delicate person?

"Today's time is indeed unlucky—how about it, I'll treat you to dinner another day, and we'll have a good chat then." Eve said.

"That's great. There's a restaurant in the city that does very authentic paella. Let's go there." Di Geng said hastily, "I heard that the boss is from Dofrengo. You must try it."

"Oh, good." Eve nodded her head like a catfish - Dicken's swearing tone at this time made her a little puzzled.

Di Geng was just afraid that she would let him go to Forward's again, and when he thought of the embarrassing situation when the two chatted that day, he felt restless.

The sky seemed to darken in an instant.At the door of the apartment, Ms. Rojeka walked out of the hall and hung a lamp on the colonnade above the steps.

"Okay, you can go back." Under the watchful eye of the apartment manager, Di Geng had no choice but to hastily end his conversation with the girl.

In this conversation, they seem to avoid certain headaches on purpose, as if some things never happened.

On the way back with Lin Xin, Di Geng kept sighing—he was sighing with a smile, as if he wanted to express the thousands of emotions in his heart with one sigh after another.

"She has changed a lot." Di Geng walked on the straight and flat downhill road, feeling both happy and melancholy. He put his hands behind his back and strode forward, "What do you think--do you look better with blond hair or black hair?" He asked Lin Xin.

"It's all good." Lin Xin said rarely.

"Yeah, I think so too." Di Geng nodded, "We should try to change it more. Like now, there is a refreshing feeling."

He looked at the dark sky and fell into a reverie.In the blue-purple night, there is still a crimson trace, it is a cloud that is about to dissipate, it is soaked in the color of the setting sun.The appearance of the girl appeared in front of his eyes, and he remembered the first time he saw her in Yard County, how she looked when she first came to the academy, and how she looked tonight—she was still growing, and it was only a year and a half ago.Maybe one day she will cut her hair short, and even put her hair up high like a lady. He can't imagine what she will look like at that time, but one thing he is sure will not change, that is, he will still be attracted to her, and his heart will never stop.

"By the way, have you noticed? Where is she..." Di Geng faced his companion and made an arc on his chest, "What do you think?"

"It's hard to say." Lin Xin replied.

Didier laughed.

"Even a person like her really needs a little vanity." He commented.

When Eve returned to the apartment, Ms. Rojeka did not wait for her.It was Xilinya who called her name through a window upstairs, telling her to come up quickly.When Eve walked up the steps with the bouquet in hand, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have left the things Shatinova gave her on the carriage.

In the season of March and April, everything returns to life and is full of vitality.There is a small flying dragon on the west coast. Its body is only about an elbow long, and there are slender claws on the corners of its wings, which can cling to steep cliffs.In south-central Klikin, in Ikerin, this small flying dragon is widespread. It has a parrot-like beak and looks like a large bird with black scales.When Eve saw this pterosaur for the first time, she thought it was a novelty, but after seeing it a lot, she got used to it.

Xiao Feilong is a good hand at planting trees.They choose those tenacious tree species and plant the fruits in the crevices of the rocks so that the branches of the trees can grow from the stone walls.After years of hard work, the bare cliffs can be filled with vitality and become suitable for them to make nests and forage for food.

The walls of Benlong Castle are tall and long, and since the day it was built, Xiao Feilong has dreamed of making this place lush one day—this is another form of siege battle that Benlong Castle has experienced, which has lasted for a long time and has never stopped.Whether it is winter or summer, day or night, they are looking for the gaps in the city walls, filling them with grass seeds, tree seeds and excrement, which makes humans look up at their masterpieces in amazement—they make tender green leaves grow in the gaps of the stone bricks that are tightly jointed, and gradually crack the stone walls that have resisted the fierce attack of the enemy.People hunted and drove them, hung the corpses of their companions on the city wall, and filled the gaps again, but with little effect—if the new weeds and small trees could not be dealt with in time, such a huge castle would inevitably return to nature.

At the beginning of April, the training center organized students to weed the city wall, and all the school year groups participated, and Eve followed that day.Their group was in charge of a small piece of city wall on the west side of the training center area. The person in charge said that there was no class today, and they could go back to rest after cleaning up the city wall in this area. The students worked very hard because of this.

The city wall is very steep, and there is a river below it. Standing on the city wall and looking down, it is unavoidable to make people dizzy.Same as the previous pair-catch training, the students were in groups of two. One person tied a rope around his waist and held a tool for weeding work, while the other operated the wheel set above the city wall to retract and release the rope.

The person in charge checked the ropes and the belts around the students' waists in turn, and then allowed them to move.Different from the boring training in the past, the students are already eager to try.Eve and Di Geng were in a group. Di Geng wanted Eve to sit on the city wall, but Eve thought the work of weeding was more interesting. She volunteered to pick up the sickle and the basket, and Di Geng had no choice but to cooperate and hang the rope for her.

At that time, Fan Bijiu was also present. He was helping the person in charge and responsible for the distribution of supplies—he was originally a student of the academy, but he insisted on coming to join in the fun.Vincent disapproved of Eve's risky behavior, so he advised her a few words.When Di Geng met Fan Bijiu for the first time, he had an intuitive prejudice and dislike for this "yellow-haired boy" in front of him. He said he was meddling in his own business, and even pushed and shoved him away.

"You are so nosy at a young age, and now there are more and more people like this." Di Geng said to Eve when he came back.When the two had an argument just now, Eve didn't even have time to intervene.

"You should change your temper..." Eve said, "He is also someone I know, and he is the son of the consul in Bomeng."

Di was more obviously taken aback, and then let out a sneer, "Are you still afraid of him?"

"of course not."

"That's fine. You can decide what you want to do, and you don't need others to worry about it."

"I mean, you should be nice to him."

Friendly shit.He pondered in his heart, but he agreed: "Well, as long as he is not stupid, everything is easy to talk about."

The conversation ended here, and the person in charge came this way, and only their group remained on it at this time.Eve carried the basket on her back and asked Di Geng to send the rope down. She stepped on the sloping wall and retreated step by step to start the next weeding work.

Today's weather is a bit cloudy, but it's perfect weather for outdoor work.

The weeds to be removed are not only herbs and shrubs, but also trees and vines that have not yet grown.These plants emerge from the crevices of the stone, and it takes not only some effort but also a little patience to eradicate them - those woody plants that cannot be pulled out by brute force alone need to chop up their rhizomes and then slowly clean them up.On such a wide wall, there are different kinds of plants growing, some of which can be named, and some of which cannot be named. Eve even found a few seedlings of herbs and berries in it.

She identified the species of these plants and then pulled them out one by one, which, in her opinion, was also very interesting.

A figure floated obliquely above her, she looked up, but saw that the person had descended in front of her, it was Long Ke.

"Good morning." He said to Eve, "I heard from an alumnus before that our college is actually quite similar to a prison. The prisoners in the prison are like us, eating and sleeping, reading and studying, plus weeding the yard, and they will be released after serving their sentence. Today, I feel that what he said is quite right."

"Maybe the school thinks that young people should also undergo education and transformation before they can become useful people." Eve is in a good mood today, even speaking slowly.

Hearing her speech just now, Long Ke seemed a little surprised.He said to Eve: "It seems to be true to say that, but I never thought about it that way."

The young man's body was tilted, with one hand grasping the protrusion of the stone brick, his posture was not natural.Eve followed the rope around his waist and looked over his head. The rope that belonged to him was also inclined, interlacing with several vertical ropes.Looking from a distance, on the city wall, his distant brother, Enpete, was watching them there.

"It's too dangerous." Eve said to Long Ke, "How did you swing this far? Be careful not to entangle other people's ropes."

"It's okay, I greeted them just now, as long as they don't move around, there will be no problem." Long Ke said, "It's you, you should be more careful."

"Why do you say that?"

"Looking at how focused you were just now, maybe you're going to mow the rope around your waist as weeds in a while."

"Am I that stupid?" Eve laughed at his words.

"Of course you're not stupid, you're smarter than anyone else, but it's always good to pay more attention, safety first." He waved his arm to the girl, "Okay, we've said hello, and I should go back." He was about to leave, but turned back and said to her, "Almost forgot, the new school year is here, and Embetter, Becklin, and Grady also asked me to say hello to you on their behalf."

"Okay, I received it, thank you." Eve replied with a smile.

After Long Ke left, Eve started to concentrate on cleaning the weeds again. After the area in front of her was cleaned up, she waved her hand above her head so that Di Geng could continue to lower the rope.

In order to better support Eve, Di Geng never took his eyes off her—he regretted it now, if he hadn't been in the same group as Eve, he would have been able to chat with Eve like Long Ke did.

But at the same time as this kind of thought came up, there was a trace of disgust towards himself in his heart—he was embarrassed by the humble needs that popped up in his mind from time to time.He wished he could be like a classical aristocrat, keeping a reserved interest in everything, pretending to be dismissive of everything, but he couldn't deceive himself-the eager desire was hard to calm down, and there was nowhere to dispel it.

Suddenly, a crisp cracking sound came from his ears, and the broken fibers rubbed against the metal axle, making a sharp and thin sound.

Di Geng's face was pale, his eyes were full of fear, he jumped up from the ground, trying to grab the broken rope, but it was too late.

[138] Under the fame (the fifteenth)

During the descent, Eve felt that the rope around her waist suddenly lost its support.When the feeling of weightlessness came, she didn't even realize that she was falling on the spot, but instinctively pressed the sickle against the wall, only to draw a white mark, which obviously didn't help.

The slope of the city wall of Benlong Castle is divided into three sections, and the lower part is perpendicular to the ground. Before Eve even had time to cast a spell, he fell into the river.The river water was still cold in April, she sank in the water, and finally recovered from the half-conscious state, struggling to swim to the surface of the water, but dragging a heavy rope, she swam very strenuously.Helpless, she had no choice but to hold her breath and hurriedly unfastened the two locks on her waist——after she got rid of the rope, she could surface.

There was no place to stay on the edge of the city wall, so she had no choice but to swim to the other side first, and landed from the other side.

Eve was a little thankful that it was spring now.Benlong Castle has a relatively high terrain, and most of the water in the moat comes from natural precipitation and the drainage of several reservoirs in the city. In winter, the water level is very low, or it is close to drying up.

She climbed ashore, her hair sticking to her face and dripping water, which almost blocked her vision.The clothes on her body were almost full of water at this time, so her steps were a bit heavy, and her shoes made a squeaking sound when she walked.She took off her belt and threw the spellcasting book aside—there is a waterproof layer in the book cover, so there is no need to worry about the book being damaged.

It wasn't until she relaxed that she noticed the noise from the other side of the city wall.At this time, the surface of the river seemed to be boiling. There were more than a dozen people swimming towards her, and a few of them were fast enough to land on the bank.Originally, Eve wanted to take off her coat and shoes and socks, so she had to stop for a while.

Not long after, everyone swam ashore and surrounded her.At the same time, a person in charge of this group also detoured over the stone bridge on horseback.

"What's going on, I saw the rope was broken just now?" The person in charge asked while looking for someone to fish out the rope from the water.

More students were rushing over from the city wall. Seeing that they could not be stopped, the person in charge had no choice but to shout to them to pay attention to their feet and pay attention to safety.

A gust of wind blew, and Eve shivered, and couldn't help but sneezed a few times. Someone wanted to lend her a coat, but she declined.

"Thanks, I just got a choked nose and I can hold on," she said.

Di Geng dragged a piece of rope to her side, his face very ugly.He glanced around, looking ferocious like a lion, and when he saw the person in charge, he grabbed the person in charge by the collar, his action startled everyone.

Eve hurried forward and pulled the two of them away.

"Speak up if you have something to say, don't touch your hands!" Her tone was not polite, and it was the first time Di Geng saw her like this.So he also glared at Eve without showing any weakness, and then loosened the collar of the person in charge.

The person in charge was a young teacher from the academy, and he finally recovered from the shock just now. He straightened his collar, pointed at Di Geng and said, "You'd better show some respect!" But he saw that the other party had been staring at him with a bad expression on his face, so he closed his mouth again.

"You are in charge, but you have not fulfilled your responsibilities." Di Geng was calmer than when he came here. "I would like to ask, what is the matter with this rope, is it left over from the celebration competition last year? Recycling? This is how you do things?"

He was holding a length of rope. The section of the rope was not neat, as if frayed or broken, and the braided fibers of the composite rope had spread outward.

The person in charge snatched the end of the rope from Di Geng's hand, looked over and over, with an expression of disbelief.

"how can that be!"

"Yeah, I want to see how you want to explain it!"

At this time, the rope that was submerged in the water was also fished out. The person in charge held two lengths of rope, looked at the city wall for a while, and looked at Eve for a while, but his face was still blank.

"It seems that Shengfengyue is really in decline now, and he can't even do this kind of thing well." Di Geng said endless sarcastic remarks beside him, which made Eve feel a little upset.

"Hey, you guys!" In the distance, the sound of heavy footsteps approached, as if the ground was trembling with the sound, everyone turned their heads and saw a strong man running over.This burly man had a fleshy face and wore a knitted hat on his head. The hat was earth green, like half a cactus short of water.

Tet Rog frowned and ran to the crowd. Seeing the dozen or so drowned-looking students in front of him, his eyes widened, he said in amazement: "Why are there so many people? I heard that the rope is broken. They all fell into the water? What happened!"

Before the person in charge could answer his question, he felt light on his feet again—he was picked up by Tet Rog by the collar.

"It was Eve who fell into the water, and we wanted to help." The person who spoke was Long Ke, who was also drenched all over at this time, "But she swam too fast, and we didn't use it."

"What about him? Why is his nose bruised and face swollen?" Tetrog asked, pointing at Grady.

At this moment, Grady was not only drenched, but also had a large lump on his face, and he was covering his nose with a handkerchief.

"He was too anxious, and he untied the rope before he came down, and fell into the water." Becklin, who was in the same group as him, explained—with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.

"Why didn't you fall to your death?" Tetrog snorted, and along the way, reached out to pat the little man's bruised face, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

"Hey, big man, put me down first..." The person in charge patted Tetrog's arm lightly, and the strong man remembered that he was still holding someone in his hand.
