21. Those who dig and are pitted (1)

The chill of early spring has completely disappeared, the warm sun is indescribably pleasant, and the occasional breeze is even more refreshing.

The surrounding scenery and the travelers in a hurry do not have the lazy and cheerful atmosphere of an outing, and walk on the deserted road with a little solemnity, silently wasting the good weather of warm spring.

This trail is usually untended and rested, and it is a way for black market traders to avoid the endless toll roadblocks and the various types of transit taxes, commercial taxes, health taxes, and poll taxes on the main roads...... and so on the tax and trampled out of the remote path. Not many people know about it, and no one will keep this tax haven trail bright and spacious. In order to get the goods to their destination in perfect order, travelers will always automatically raise their vigilance, and look around carefully from time to time, paying attention to any small suspicions in the scenery that may hide dangers. I am afraid that in the next moment, ragged outcasts, scumbag-bearded deserters, well-armed GIs, and brightly dressed tax collectors will jump out of some bush and shout "robbery!" and "pay taxes!"

No one wants to be so unlucky to encounter the above three kinds of people: robbers and deserters will definitely loot the goods, sometimes let the delivery person go, sometimes kidnap the ticket and demand a huge ransom, and occasionally kill the delivery person and just find a place to throw it away. After confiscating all the goods, the tax collector would throw the tax evasion smuggler into the lord's prison, and let the poor creature vomit out every money he earned, and then stay in an iron cage until it rotted.

Cautious smugglers, fearing that one wrong step would lead to no return, the smugglers brought their repressed miasma into the forest and spread it everywhere, adding to the dark corners that nature did not care much about, adding to the colorless depression and claustrophobia If they enter here, they may fall directly into shock and fall to the ground. But these travelers are a little different from the usual, not only in behavior but also in temperament, there are many differences.

The elves, accustomed to working with the depths of the dark jungle, seem to have a much different environment than their own back garden, and there is no danger to grow them, and now it can be said to be a safer walking path. The good hunters parted the knee-high weeds, and from time to time they waved their hunting knives to cut down the plants that stood in their way, and the wagons and cattle followed closely at the same slow pace.

"It reminds me of the first time I ran into the valley and watched this stuff go on and on, it was terrible. ”

As Thor complained, the knife continued to clear the way of the road, the sharp metal piece about the size of his arm whistling, and the branches and vines were cut down.

"Actually, you can go back to the carriage, we have enough here. ”

Gottfried Wagner kept his eyes on Thor's raised arm, carefully avoiding the swinging elbow that was a little too loud to prevent himself from being seriously injured by a large man not paying attention to his surroundings.

Thor was supposed to stay in the carriage, which was big enough for him, despite his burly body.

"It's not a way for you to do this, Li Lin has already said that he will give you tutoring. ”

Another companion, Ludwig Hoffmann, who dodged the elbow, joined the conversation. Since Thor is there, the main part of their job is to avoid bloodshed, and simply shake out Thor's open little secrets to make it clear.

[crane tail] -- this word is the root of a qiΔ“. After the previous quiz in the carriage, the new words that Li Lin spat out after seeing Thor's miserable answers became Thor's latest nickname.

Although there is no malicious intent, compared with all the [honors] labels of Brunhill, Till, and Freya, and then look at the difference between the two extremes in the scores. Thor's self-esteem and self-confidence have been hit hard. It's just like being dragged into shameful PLAY.、And forced to become the protagonist of the game.,It's just like an innocent little boy who is forced to be the protagonist of the game.。 In the past few days, he has been constantly wielding a hunting knife to clear the way for the convoy, hoping to vent his depression once and for all with sweat. ...,

The self-defeating approach did not work well, wasting only the body and sweat, and as for the lump in the chest - not only did it show no signs of dissolving, but it became more frustrating.

"It's terrible, it's terrible. ”

Wagner sympathized with Thor, but also with himself. As long as Thor's mood remained so low, he and Hoffman had to continue to be exposed to the heavy air of an infectious disease, and they had to watch out for Thor's elbow and hunting knife while feeling worse together, and God knows if there would be an accidental bloodshed next time.

"Perhaps...... Receiving tutoring is a good way to do it. ”

Hoffman stopped what he was doing, and Thor and Wagner stopped looking at the earnest-looking proposers, and no sign of convincing or approval appeared on their faces.

"Do you think it's a glorious thing for everyone to be left alone after the course is over and relearn what they were taught before?"

Thor's frustration poured out along with the words, and the rhetorical questions that almost resonated with emotion were somewhat like condemnation, and the reason was precisely from the point of view of the low mood, Hoffman's mention was like schadenfreude, and the hearing of it by a guy with a bad temper would immediately become the fuse that detonated the feelings.

"Is there a better option?"

Hoffman changed to Li Lin's way of speaking, imitating the kind of rhetoric that never only blocked the way out instead of giving others a chance to choose.

Although the imitation is not very good, the choice of cutting into the timing is not good. However, Thor and Wagner were questioned and immediately realized that the reality was that there was no way back.

"As long as Thor's grades can go up......"

"If you want to get grades, you can only tutor. ”

Wagner's comfort was shattered before he could finish speaking, Hoffman let out a long sigh, imitating Li Lin's character for only a few minutes, the feeling of exhaustion spread all the way to his shoulders, unable to continue the role-playing game that was not good, and gently patted Thor drooping shoulder, pitiful and sympathetic combined, and then squared and comforted:

"Brother, resign yourself to your fate. Since you can't escape, you can't resist. How about trying to think of this experience as an experience of enjoyment and a necessity in life? Maybe you'll be better. ”

Thor, who was comforted by words that seemed to be the words of self-relief from the desperate desperate women who seemed to have been violently assaulted, did not ease at all, in fact, his mood had completely fallen to the bottom of the abyss, and he was always smiling like he was crying like he had lost an important relation.

Wagner, who had been saying comforting words since just now, looked at Thor and knew what to say, and Thor turned around if he couldn't get comfort and had nothing else to think about. While muttering "Can't Escape", he brandished a large hunting knife. The momentum emanating from him was upgraded from [Decadence] to [Tragedy], in order to avoid this heartbroken and powerful aura, but also to avoid injury. The two elves, who couldn't comfort them, hurriedly retreated back, and they were completely out of order.

"Two ...... No, it's three stupid guys. ”

Freya's exclamation was like a deliberate expression after holding back wild laughter, and the biggest laugh in the little devil's heart was not the stupid conversation between the three boys, but Thor's [face as if he had been raped]...... If it weren't for the fact that there was a word that was not suitable for a girl to say, she would have laughed out loud. The other companions, who are males, also want to refute Freya and help their male compatriots. It's just that Thor's poor performance is destined to add powerless special effects to all justifications, and justifying Shenma is not useful at all.

Three stupid people, this comment is not wrong at all.

β€œ...... Maybe it's time for me to add a special interpersonal communication class. ”

The murmur of self-talk drifted from the driver's seat to the back, and the elves at the tip of their ears immediately shuddered. One more course? Marfa testified! They already have three courses: mathematics, language, and martial arts. Among them, the language course is divided into three parts: Elven composition, Charlemagne, and Lapland. So it's actually 5 courses. The heavy pressure of schoolwork only makes them feel exhausted after only a few days, and adding another course is not a trivial matter of "oh, this way", adding a new name to the curriculum. There is a good chance that this course will be the last straw that breaks the backbone of their camels, and no one wants that seemingly fluttering straw to fall. ...,

Anxious, anxious, expectant eyes converge on the back of the chariot, waiting for the end or the gospel verdict. The afterglow of the additional accusations was all directed at Freya, who a few seconds ago was just a "bit of a bad-hearted honor student" character, which always made everyone feel headaches and helplessness. But now the sudden plot of [Trigger Scare Box] is really unbearable, and the wordless accusations and resentment gathered around the extremely stressful [Increase the Culprit of the Course Incident] on the back, almost materializing into a substantial black fog.

β€œ...... Recently, the course schedule has been a bit too tight, and I'll talk about it in a few days......"

Whispering to himself once again swept past the elves in the eerie and imminent carriage, and the mass of resentful spirits seemed to have been baptized by the light of salvation and vanished.

The world is still beautiful, there is still light ahead of the road of life, and it feels so good to be alive.

The enlightened elves were overwhelmed in the excitement of being respited, and as for the scenical part of the content, "After a while", no one wanted to take it out of that passage and spoil their mood.

In the end, they will still remember, and everyone knows that the [coachman] who seems to be talking to himself inadvertently will definitely use reality to defeat naΓ―ve thoughts and kill a piece of armor.

Li Lin's style is like this, he will definitely do it, only a fool would think that what he says will only stay in words.

Freya, the little devil who was sober and watching, didn't remind the foolish boys who were still happy, and the bad experience in front of her made her feel a little unpleasant, and she had no interest in doing such a thing at all. Thinking about it from another angle, she also thinks that although it is only [temporary], it is also a good thing not to increase the pressure of schoolwork. No matter how good the top students are, there will also be some negative feelings about the increase in courses that crowd out personal time. Even though they knew that they couldn't escape the ranks of the extra class in the end, the stupid boys' expressions when they heard the thunderbolt in the clear sky again, and watched the [verbal arrangement] turn into real pressure......

A sadistic evil smile crept up the corners of the little devil's mouth, and there were some bad expectations in the shining jade pupils.
