Chapter 13 Night Tour
Zhang Ying is missing.
An Jing blinked and stared at the small room, his roommate, friends and followers on his left.
The Orion boy was not in bed.
His bed was very neat, even to the point of being abnormally neat. Both the pillows and blankets were folded very flat, like tofu.
An Jing knew that this was definitely not done by Zhang Ying, because that silly boy didn't know how to fold quilts. He taught him several times, but he still folded them like a dog.
"Why is Zhang Ying missing?!"
Another hour later, Kurashizu woke up and discovered this, and couldn't help but screamed.
He and Zhang Ying play best. One is an Orion and the other is a martial artist. They have both practiced martial arts since they were young, and they are both interested in hunting, fighting, swords, guns and swords. Although Zhang Ying is not as good as him, he is not far behind, especially Zhang Ying is good at archery, which can be said to be the best among all the others, and they can learn from each other.
The two of them always followed An Jing and were almost inseparable.
"Are you running around and being locked up?"
Zhanfeng muttered, although most of the children in Xuanmingzhuang are more mature than their peers because of their refugee status, but after being provided with a safe environment, there are some children who are naturally naughty and like to run around, and are then punished and locked up. , didn’t even eat dinner.
Zhan Feng is most concerned about eating. Although he is tall, he never takes risks. Zhang Ying is on the contrary. If An Jing hadn't stopped him several times, that kid would definitely be running around.
"Ask the instructors." Ye Xiuyuan said softly. He was the smartest among all the children. He turned his head slightly to look at An Jing and found that the boss of Dormitory A had an expressionless face and was thinking. Something, I already had some thoughts in my mind: "Maybe... he just left."
leave? Could it be that... he was eliminated?
Has the second batch of elimination begun?
Everyone has a possibility in their mind, but they dare not say it out loud. It wasn't until they searched the entire dormitory and martial arts arena and couldn't find any trace of Zhang Ying that everyone had to admit the fact.
Zhang Ying was eliminated like the apprentices who left before.
It wasn't just him who was eliminated.
Twenty-seven people were eliminated this time. There were not many people. Some performed well and some performed average. The specific criteria could not be guessed.
Before dinner, just like last time, a lecturer announced the matter to everyone.
"It was expected."
Ye Xiuyuan sighed. He said that he had known the result would be like this, but he thought he might leave earlier than Zhang Ying. Unexpectedly, the Orion boy went down the mountain first.
"I think I can still be a cashier."
After dinner, during the evening training at the martial arts field, he told An Jing and others, telling the truth frankly: "I am not suitable for martial arts training. The recent training has made me feel inadequate. Maybe one day I will go down the mountain."
"Maybe I can, too." Gu Yeqi sighed. There were also a few people missing in their girls' dormitory. One of them was a little sister who came with her from the Mingshan Chengliu Private Camp. There was one less person to talk to. It's also very lonely.
Not to mention, although Gu Yeqi could still accept the current amount of training, she always felt that it was getting more and more difficult, which made her feel a little worried and felt that she might not be able to catch up with An Jing.
"Zhang Ying just doesn't train well. I told him that martial arts training is about practice, not actual combat!"
Cang Lingzu was unhappy, kicking the dirt under his feet and said: "Everyone wants to leave, but I wish I could stay as long as possible - they always teach real things. The more you learn, the more you will rely on after coming down the mountain."
"Not to mention, it will definitely be harder to eat meat after going down the mountain. Zhang Ying will regret it!" Having lost a playmate, he could only be harsh.
"Let me tell you." Zhan Feng smacked his lips, savoring the taste of dinner, and said lazily: "Indeed."
Ye Xiuyuan and An Jing shook their heads together. He also turned to look at An Jing. The frail young man said with emotion: "Maybe only Brother An can climb to the top... I hope you won't forget us by then."
"How could it be?" An Jing said in a deep voice: "We escaped from the Frost Tribulation together, trained together for so long, and lived in the same dormitory. We are all brothers, how could I forget."
In fact, he had many doubts in his mind. For example, the owner of the medicine village was not here all day today, and many of the teachers were missing. Could it be that they all went to send their children down the mountain?
Even he got up an hour late. Was Zhang Ying woken up and left in the middle of her sleep? Would he be so quiet and leave without saying goodbye? None of this is known.
Moreover, today, he also did not hear the sound of cars going up and down the mountain, nor saw the signs of cars leaving and entering.
Are the eliminated children still in the manor?
However, these doubts can only be suppressed.
"I have planned to do this for a long time. Most of the medicine manor owners and teachers are not here today... If you don't sleep at night, go and look around the manor. Maybe you can find those who have been eliminated."
An Jing had already made up his mind, but wanted to reassure everyone: "Everyone, go to bed early today. The better you sleep, the better your energy will be, and the better the training results will be, so that everyone will not be eliminated."
"Brother An is always so calm... maybe a little too calm."
Ye Xiuyuan smiled, his brows always had melancholy.
After all, a scholar from a wealthy family whose goal in life is to pass the imperial examination and enter the capital has been reduced to his current situation due to natural disasters. No matter how difficult it is to take the imperial examination, the most he will do in the future is an accountant. Even if he has recognized his fate, he cannot really look away.
"How can I be your senior brother if I'm not calm?"
Really couldn't stand this attitude of acquiescing that he had been eliminated, An Jing slapped him on the back of the head angrily: "You are only a few years old, and you are already sad. It's not like we won't see each other again. What is not suitable for martial arts training? I haven’t practiced enough, so I’ll do two more exercises for my legs tomorrow!”
"Eh?!" Hearing this, even Ye Xiuyuan became anxious: "Training legs? Two moves? Damn it! I don't want my legs to be shaking when I wake up the next day!"
"You are the only one who talks a lot, three!"
Under An Jing's violent suppression, time soon came to night.
After everyone fell asleep, An Jing, who had closed his eyes tightly, suddenly opened his eyes.
There are no teachers patrolling outside today, so it is the most suitable time for a night tour.
An Jing quietly walked out of the dormitory, jumped a few times, and then turned over to the roof of the dormitory. Then he came to the wall and observed the terrain of the entire manor.
In the past, when I lived in Xuanming Village, I couldn't feel it, but now when I climb up to take a look, I can find that Xuanming Village is located between two mountains. The terrain is strange. From the memories of past lives, it seems to be some kind of strange Feng Shui terrain. "Double Dragons Playing with Pearls" ', and the manor is the pearl played by the dragon of the two mountains, gathering the essence of the surrounding mountains.
Centered around the area where the children live, there are layers of towers for defense, making the Xuanming Manor impenetrable. The entire manor is more like a small fortress than an ordinary manor.
