Chapter 108: Cloud Shadow in September 1997
Cloud Shadow in September 1997
Another sunny weekend, a bunch of flowers, a few friends, a premeditated confession on a formal occasion, a blushing young man with anticipation, a surprise-eyed girl who said "I do" with a blushing face, I'm really envious of others .
"If your brother replaces the phrase 'be my girlfriend' with 'marry me', my sister will definitely agree on the spot." Yin Huili stood next to me and whispered to me with a smile.
"That won't work, if it's a life-long event, it can't be so simple," I said, "Don't look at my buddy, who is stupid and rough, but there is also a romantic element in his veins."
Yin Huili shrugged indifferently. shoulders, but the envy on her face could not deceive anyone.
Yes, if I were a little girl, I would definitely hope that someone would take the time to surprise me and confess it like me.
Yin Qing, Yin Huili's cousin, Liang Jiangbo's girlfriend, has officially entered my life, calling herself my "sister-in-law".
Well, I never called Liang Jiangbo "brother" before, and I can't admit it now.
Liang Jiangbo is a very awkward person. When I didn't have a girlfriend before, I didn't see how he took care of me. A rough, stupid dog. Now that I have a girlfriend, I'm always worried that I will be unbalanced. I'm worried that I say he has. My girlfriend forgot her brother, so she cared for me abnormally. Specifically, she had to leave time to accompany me. She stayed with me most of the time in school. She had to report to her girlfriend specially, and she would not accompany her. Having two meals alone with my girlfriend in a row, euphemistically called a brother, someone has to accompany me...
I really want to fry my hair, he has never cared about it before, don't I have a good time? Why did he fall in love, and I suddenly became a baby who couldn't take care of myself. I couldn't do without him. Every night before it got dark, I would come back and come back. I was afraid that the ghost would eat me?
On the contrary, my sister-in-law Yin Qing admires Liang Jiangbo's love and righteousness very much, and she also thinks that I am a childish temper. If Liang Jiangbo neglects me for her, I will not say it, but I will definitely feel very disappointed in my heart, after all, I am in her eyes Here is a more immature child than her cousin.
I'm going crazy.
The new semester's courses are so orderly, except that sometimes the experimental classes take up more time, we have time every day to do what we like. Liang Jiangbo joined the school football club. Ruyun's university alumni are not bad, and they give my sister-in-law a long face.
I haven't joined any clubs. I'm learning English by myself. Most of the latest research in our major is led by foreign countries. If I want to see time-sensitive materials, I need English. I want to prepare in advance. Liang Jiangbo was in love, and he didn't have much time to sit down with me in the library, but that little prince from Beijing, Yang Chen, always came to accompany me.
With all due respect, he is not a material to study at all. He failed the college entrance examination in English. He said he was here to accompany me, but in fact he was sitting next to me and reading martial arts novels. When he saw the wonderful places, no one else laughed, which affected the study of the people around him. It was a miracle that this guy could grow up safely without being beaten to death.
This man is very funny. He is just over 1.7 meters tall and with a small body, with an ordinary middle-aged face, but his self-confidence is extremely bursting. He himself said that his family limited his living expenses, and let him experience the life of ordinary people for one year in his freshman year. If he did not act as a demon and cause trouble in his freshman year, he would be free in his second year.
This fool especially likes to make random wishes for people. He tells me all day long that he wants to invite me to eat this, he wants to take me there to play, how to open my eyes, I am tired of hearing it, so I am too lazy not to care about him, change it Others have humiliated him face to face, and they don't know where he got so much excess self-confidence.
I want to say, Yang Chen is a spoiled child. When he was in Beijing, he was probably as rich as he said. .
But now he has no money, and we treat me every time we eat, and he doesn't feel embarrassed. How can an adult be so ignorant.
Compared with being silly with Yang Chen, it is very pleasant to meet my sister-in-law's cousin Yin Huili occasionally on weekends. Although she studies very well, there are no problems that I can help solve, but I am a past person after all, and some of the students who are preparing for the exam are very happy. The experience can still be shared, and the weather in Shanghai is very comfortable this season. It is very emotional to walk and chat with an umbrella in the drizzle.
At the end of the month, another small pocket of snacks was brought across the world. There is a packet of sugar in this small pocket of snacks that I don't plan to eat. I'm going to put it away and bring it back at the end of the month to verify some kind of conjecture in my heart.
I dyed my hair black at school. In order to prevent it from being exposed in the opposite world, I cut my hair ahead of time and wore a hat. Anyway, the new hair is still light yellow, which does not affect me.
My son Wang Jerry probably kicked the quilt while he was sleeping and was blown away by the night wind. He had a cough and had a low-grade fever. I was so nervous that I didn't sleep well for several days, and I didn't dare to give him antibiotics indiscriminately. Check him again and again to make sure that the child's illness is not more serious.
He was uncomfortable, but the progress of the transport team could not be disturbed. I could only sit in the basket and use my ability to hold my son in the air, so that he could be bumped as little as possible and get a good night's sleep.
When I was uncomfortable, Wang Jerry would cry, grab my finger and say, "Dad, I'm uncomfortable." My heart was broken. Someone in the transport team wanted to help me, but I refused. Lice and fleas, never get close to my son.
Wang Jierui has always been in good health and rarely gets sick. Fortunately, this time he started to improve on the third day. By the fifth day, he was alive and kicking. I was relieved and could close my eyes and sleep well.
My neurotic behavior in taking care of my son made my Fu and Ana guard me and refused to explore the way for the transport team during the day, which caused the transport team to encounter a lot of trouble, until I calmed down again, the two brothers and sisters Willing to continue to "work".
My little darling is lively, active, can eat and sleep, which is the happiest thing for me. My whole heart is in his hands.
We approached a vast Everglades in the middle of the month, and I heard from the merchants in the caravan that there was a village of lizards deep in the swamp, and those big lizards in clothes would use weapons like humans, and would also play with humans. In business, the lizards can raise pythons that move fast in the swamps, and some pythons have buckets so thick that they can swallow a living person in one bite.
You can only listen to three points at most about what these businessmen say. They love to brag and exaggerate too much. Things that are non-existent or hearsay become real experiences through their mouths.
I checked with the Cyrenthians, and the Night Raven Knight officer who went to school said that he had indeed seen the description of the "Swamp Clan" in the book, but it was a poem from hundreds of years ago.
Probably the content is the story of the frog-like Swamp Clan who were called by the sages of mankind to unite to defeat the demons. In the story, the Swamp Clan retreated to the depths of the swamp, but in the same story, there were also Hydras and "Ancient Wings" with wings. , which makes its credibility plummet.
According to the Greeks, the "Ancient Wings" are similar to the "Dragon" or "Phoenix" in our other world. They are typical fantasy creatures that do not exist in reality. The same is true for the "Hydra". It is well known that such deformed individuals cannot survive in nature, and only exist in people's lust.
By the way, "Hydra" is my translation, the original Greek word should be "giant lizard with many heads", perhaps it is more appropriate to translate it as "nine-headed dragon" or "multi-headed dragon", because in In the story, this creature has strong limbs and tails, and is an uncompromising king and god in the swamp.
Based on the information I have received, there is a high probability that the Lizardmen of the Marsh Clan do not exist, but it does not affect anything. Our journey is still very long. We have heard many strange stories along the way, and we will hear more in the future. Even I am making up all kinds of bizarre stories to share with the people around me. They listen to it with great interest, because the leisure time after dinner is too boring.
It is still my daily job to practice riding this month, not only that, but I am also fortunate to have the permission of our "Xinnan Sombra" captain to allow me to ride his leopard spider.
I've long been interested in those two ferocious-looking, but smart and brave little guys.
Mr. Xinnan Heilites told me that "leopard spiders" are medium-sized predators that live in the "Yellow Stone Wilderness" outside Helencia. They have eight long, strong legs and are very stable. Walking like flying in the wilderness full of gritty stones. These swift and cunning creatures hunt large herbivores in the open fields in packs and raid gold diggers' camps, a scourge of local headaches.
I translated its name as "leopard spider" because, in my opinion, although it looks like a spider, it really has the speed of a cheetah.
I have seen many strange creatures in this world, and the leopard spider in front of me is the same. Although it wears a chitinous carapace, it is a real viviparous mammal. It has a hideous head wrapped in a chitinous carapace. The four insect-like compound eyes on the head are enough for it to have a wide field of vision of more than 270 degrees, and with its own infrared detection, the prey has nowhere to hide in the dark, and the mouth full of fangs is suitable for tearing the prey, they are pure carnivore.
At first glance, the stubby necks make leopard spiders look naive, but in combination with their muscular chests covered in armor, they only make people feel mighty and strong.
The head of a leopard spider is the size of a football, and its back is slightly wider than that of an adult. If you take off the saddle, you can see their carapace full of fine thorns. Their carapace is exceptionally strong, not much better than metal. It used to be an important material for making warrior armor.
The leopard spider's chest is connected with eight thick and strong limbs. These limbs covered by chitin carapace are extremely powerful. They are very similar to the structure of the limbs of insects. They are divided into many segments and are distributed with very soft fine hairs. The fine hairs can sense not only air currents and tiny vibrations, but also scents, so each leopard spider is an excellent tracker comparable to a hound.
The body of the leopard spider is small, about half a meter on the chest and back, and the oval abdomen is one meter long. With eight long legs of about two meters, they become the appearance of large spiders.
They are not large enough to be mounted on, so after wearing the saddle, one has to half-squat on the back of the leopard spider with the reins in hand. Usually leopard knights fight with spears, crossbows, and machetes, but also with lances or chain hammers.
The color of the leopard spider is mainly tawny, and it will change to turquoise and dark gray with the seasons. It is said that some species are red and black or snow white, which is related to their origin.
The legs of the leopard spider are not strong. As a combat mount, it not only has to undergo additional training, but also has to wear armor. For example, the eight legs of the two leopard spiders in our team are all strapped with steel armor, which is about two semi-circular tubes. There are steel thorns on the outside, the inner lining is soft leather, the chitinous carapace buckled on the legs of the leopard spider is firmly tied, and even the feet are covered with steel tapered boots. Can be worn.
When resting every day, the leopard spider knight has to remove all the armor on the leopard spider to let the leopard spider relax. This is because the chitin carapace of the leopard spider is hard, but it is actually very sensitive. It is covered with cilia and long. The restraint of time can affect the health of leopard spiders, and even cause parts of the carapace to die and fall off.
These beautiful creatures are born as small as a fist, with a litter of three to six, all hiding under the mother's belly, feeding on the nipple-tips that shed under the nail plate during the feeding period of the mother leopard spider, which will feed the baby leopard spider. For more than three years, they will continue to teach them hunting skills, and they will not leave their mother until they can live independently.
Interestingly, the orange nails shed by female leopard spiders during lactation are believed to have the magical function of making women breastfeed, so it is still a popular medicinal material.
I was wearing goggles and pulling the reins to step on the leopard spider. The wild speed made me scream and scream. The speed of 70 kilometers per hour is nothing compared to driving with me, but this is not wearing a seat belt or blocking it. If you are not careful, you will be thrown out and your neck will be broken in the wilderness. How can this stimulation be compared to driving?
The leopard spider runs so smoothly that you don't even feel any jolts, it's like drifting forward! But the downside is that this thing can't turn, or it can turn, but I will be thrown out, so the leopard spider can only run in a straight line or arc in high-speed running, unless the speed is very low, it will never turn.
It was a pity in my heart that I didn't ride my dad's big motorcycle when I was in the county town. This time I experienced speed and passion.
