"This kid, he runs so fast every time after school, as if he is going to be reincarnated!" Seeing Zhang Tie waving his hand and disappearing without a trace, Barry, who wanted to say something, smacked his lips, feeling a little helpless. said.
"Is he going to work in a grocery store?" Chauvin added.
"He goes to that grocery store twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday. He went there yesterday and today is Friday. What is he going to do?" Barry explained.
"Maybe we should hurry home!" Since reconciling with Zhang Tie, Doug couldn't help but say a word for Zhang Tie.
"A man who goes home right after school has no future!" Baghdad said proudly, holding his hands on the side.
"So what are your plans?" Wright asked Baghdad.
"I'm going to try my luck at the Tiger Arena. This weekend, the Tiger Arena will be recruiting some part-time waiters. If I can get in, I'll have the opportunity to use the training equipment inside for free. If I'm lucky, say Maybe I can meet some experts to give me some guidance!"
"Well, I wish you good luck. That place is the territory of the rich. I heard that this guy Greiss goes to the battle hall to train for several hours every day after school..." Wright shrugged.
"Gris went to the Agni Battle Hall, which is also one of the best battle halls in Black Flame City!" Baghdad's tone was full of envy, "It would be great if there were also intern waiters there!"
Baghdad's words made Barry roll his eyes.
"What about you, Wright, what are your plans for the weekend?" Chauvin asked Wright.
Wright hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth, "My father is taking me to visit an old friend of his over the weekend. His old friend just came to Black Flame City two days ago and is now appointed as a merchant group by the Storm Merchant Group. As the deputy steward in Black Flame City, dad may want to take me on a tour to make some preparations for the future! What about you, Chauvin!"
"I'm going to be a tutor on weekends and I can earn 40 coppers a day!" Chauvin was a little embarrassed.
"Your dad is really stingy. You are only 15 years old and he has to make money on weekends to support the family!" Doug said naively.
"Who allowed Chauvin to have two younger brothers? The responsibility of being an older brother is not light!"
"Yeah, so Siesta, where's your weekend?"
"Hey, I saved a little money this month, so I can go relax on the weekend!" Siesta said while constantly straightening her waist and making swaying movements.
"It's really yours. I saved a month's pocket money and didn't eat breakfast just for one day. Will you die if you don't go to a prostitute?" Baghdad said with contempt.
"I will die if I don't go to prostitutes! After experiencing it for the first time, I understood that I have lived for women all my life..." Sista answered seriously, and then she and Barry put their arms around each other and started whispering together. …
Just like that, it was the weekend, and the key members of the Airplane Brotherhood had a random fart at the school gate for a while, and then they all went their separate ways.
Zhang Tie, on the other hand, was running quickly in the alleys near the school. After running almost two blocks away from the school, Zhang Tie finally came to the place he had been to countless times, Wesley. There was a station platform for the subway on the main street. Then, Zhang Tie stood at the entrance of an alley next to the platform, breathing heavily and looking quietly at the corner of the street over there. In the past two years, he has waited here countless times. Most of the time, he can see the person he is waiting for. In the past, when school was over, he would wait with many people at the school gate, and then follow that person for almost two blocks. But since that scary one-eyed dragon came to the school, and that one-eyed dragon began to pursue that person, everyone The cowardly students were all punished by the one-eyed dragon and no longer dared to follow that person after school. Only Zhang Tie persisted, and Zhang Tie did not dare to follow that person anymore, so Zhang Tie found Here, as long as it is not a day when he is working, Zhang Tie will come here first after school every day, just to take a good look at that person. Even with one glance, Zhang Tie feels very satisfied.
After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, the man walked out from the corner of the street about 40 meters away from the station as usual. The moment he saw Teacher Dinah, Zhang Tie felt that what he saw in front of him was not a person, but a teacher. A painting, a living painting. The moment Teacher Dinah appeared, the whole world seemed to have color and become alive. The 15-year-old boy felt like his breathing was about to stop.
Teacher Dinah walked over from a distance and came to the station, with her back to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie was standing at the entrance of the alley, more than twenty meters away, staring blankly at Teacher Dinah's back. With the most beautiful back, the most beautiful hair, the most beautiful figure, wearing the most beautiful clothes, showing the most beautiful legs, and those sexy black high heels, Zhang Tie felt that Teacher Dinah was the incarnation of a goddess.
Teacher Dinah’s hair must smell very good, just like the body scent of Teacher Dinah! Looking at Teacher Dinah's beautiful hair, Zhang Tieru thought about what it would feel like to touch it, and the boy entered into fantasy...
On the platform of the station, there were several passengers waiting for the bus, talking loudly about something. After Teacher Dinah arrived, Zhang Tie found that the voices of those people had suddenly become quieter, and they had been sitting on their chairs reading newspapers. The two gentlemen also quietly stood up for themselves. One guy even turned his head, facing the reflection of the billboard next to the station, and quietly arranged his hair.
Zhang Tie actually hoped that the train that Teacher Dinah was waiting for would never come, so that he could continue watching silently, but just five minutes later, the Heiyan City subway car still drove slowly towards the platform from a distance. Come here, all the tramcars in the city are just one size smaller train, with a narrower track, a smaller locomotive, a lower-power steam power unit, a slower speed, and a smaller load capacity. , of course, is also more suitable for use in the city.
When it stopped, the traffic car slowed down, and a stream of water vapor came out from the deceleration valve at the rear of the car. The conductor stood with one foot at the door of the car, leaned out half of the body from the car, and rang the bell. He shouted, reminding passengers who got on the bus to put in coins to buy tickets. People at the station started to get on the train...
It wasn't until Teacher Dinah got on the train and the subway car slowly drove away that Zhang Tie withdrew his gaze from a distance in a disappointed manner. Then, with a feeling that he couldn't quite explain, he walked back home.
…
Because it is the weekend, Zhang Tie’s brother Zhang Yang is also coming back. According to the usual practice, every Friday is the time when Zhang Tie and his family can’t help but have a reunion dinner, so the Friday dinner is also particularly sumptuous, Mom He cooked a pot of wild beans with half of the remaining bacon at home. When Zhang Tie returned home, he smelled the familiar aroma of the broth before he even entered the door. When he saw the steam coming from the small stove at home, The oily milky white broth was stirred in the clay pot. Zhang Tie's greed was suddenly aroused. He picked up the spoon on the clay pot, scooped out a spoonful of soup, puffed up his cheeks and blew hard a few times. , regardless of the fact that it was still a little hot, he drank it in one gulp. A taste that could be described as happiness slipped into Zhang Tie's mouth.
"Little greedy cat, if you're hungry, grab a bowl first to satisfy your stomach!" Mom walked over from the shop and scratched Zhang Tie's hair dotingly, just like before, it hadn't changed in more than ten years.
Zhang Tie swallowed, "No, I'm not hungry. I'd better wait until dad and brother come back together!"
"Our Guoguo has grown up!" Mom said as she tied up her apron. "Your dad has to work overtime today and will probably come back later. You go look at the shop and I'll cook!"
"okay!"
Half an hour later, Zhang Tie's father came back, said hello to Zhang Tie, and then went to the kitchen to help with the work. After more than 20 minutes, almost Zhang Tie sat down at the table, thinking that Zhang Tie When Yang will not come back, Zhang Yang comes back.
Zhang Yang is 1.88 meters tall, with a burly figure and slender hands. His face is somewhat similar to Zhang Tie's, but his eyes and eyebrows are more narrow and elongated, and there is some elusive agility. Zhang Yang is wearing a black flame city. The guard's dark black military uniform is tied around the waist with a yellow copper-buckled cowhide armed belt. There is also a standard long sword hanging on the armed belt. The military rank on the shoulder is sergeant. As a member of the Black Flame City Guards The squad leader is still one step away from becoming an officer.
Since childhood, this brother has been Zhang Tie's idol.
Zhang Yang returned home with a backpack in his hand. When he got home, without saying a word, he opened the backpack and took out two things and stuffed them into Zhang Tie's hands, "Take it, open it, it's just enough for our family to have a meal!" "
"Canned beef!" Zhang Tie's eyes lit up after he took the stuff, and his saliva suddenly started to flow out. He didn't expect that his brother would really bring something good when he came back this time.
"You sit down, I'll get it..." Mom took the two cans away from Zhang Tie without any explanation, and when she went to the kitchen to add dishes and chopsticks to Zhang Yang, she put one of the cans into a cabinet in the kitchen and opened it. one. The three men at the table all smiled. My mother is always very careful in her life. Sometimes she can break up a copper coin and use it twice. The whole family is used to it.
"Brother, are there any other good things?" Zhang Tie looked at the backpack in Zhang Yang's hand with sharp eyes. It was bulging and there were still many things that had not been taken out. In Zhang Tie's eyes, his brother is like a magician sometimes, always able to conjure many things.
"No, it's all for you!" Zhang Yang directly threw the entire bag into Zhang Tie's hand. Zhang Tie couldn't wait to open it. The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of black training leather shoes and two dark green ones. A vest and two pairs of dark green underwear, as well as a towel and soap, leather shoes, vest, underwear, towel, soap, are all personal daily necessities issued by the Black Flame City Guards. These things are also black The hot goods on the black market in Yancheng were all saved by my brother and brought back to him. Looking at the brand new leather shoes, and then at the worn-out pair at his feet, Zhang Tie felt his nose was slightly sore.
"I have asked someone to change these things. The size is just right for you. I heard my mother say that you are a grown man now. Don't cry!" Zhang Yang said, stretching out a big hand and holding Zhang Tie's hand. His hair was messed up.
Zhang Tie, whose nose was slightly sore, heard his brother's last words and immediately felt extremely humiliated. For a moment, he was ashamed and annoyed. However, his brother still thought this matter was funny, so he turned around and said a few words to his father. , Dad also laughed after hearing this. I don't care how embarrassed someone's young mind is at this moment.
"Mom!" Zhang Tie shouted dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, it's time to eat, it's time to eat, why don't I stop talking about it later!" Mom walked over with a carefree plate of canned beef.
The family is enjoying the meal...
"Don't run around outside at night if you have nothing to do these days!" Zhang Yang said to Zhang Tie at the dinner table, "Black Flame City may be a little uneasy recently!"
"What's wrong?" Dad became a little nervous, and Mom also pricked up her ears. Only Zhang Tie chewed the piece of beef tendon in the bowl depressedly, "Have you heard any news?"
"A few days ago, the second-in-command of the Red Turban Bandits, Sarah the Bloody Hand Butcher, was arrested in Andaman City. Yesterday, the Alliance Council voted to hang Sara. The Red Turban Bandits released news that they would carry out crazy revenge. !”
"This... shouldn't be able to find the head of Black Flame City!" Dad doubted.
"When voting on whether to execute the Bloody Hand Butcher, 11 out of the 17 city-state representatives of the Andaman City-State Alliance voted in favor, and the representatives from Black Flame City also voted in favor. The results of the vote were leaked out somehow. The revenge target of the Red Scarf Thieves Group is placed on these 11 alliance members who voted in favor. The location of Black Flame City is relatively remote. It is at the northernmost end of the alliance and is surrounded by weak areas of the alliance. They are most likely to be attacked by the Red Turban Bandits!" The old man said calmly.
"Has the alliance fallen? How could the voting results of the alliance parliament be leaked? There must be a conspiracy. For the red scarf bandits, this group of heartless butchers, there are still people who want to keep them alive..." Dad was a little cynical. said.
"I don't know about the conspiracy. Anyway, for the next two months, the vacations of everyone in the Black Flame City Guards will be cancelled. I won't be able to come back for the next two months!" The old man spread his hands.
"Son, is there any danger?" Mom asked worriedly.
"Mom, don't worry. The few people in the Red Scarf Thieves Group are not yet capable of attacking the city. The city defense troops and city defense fortifications in Black Flame City are not vegetarians. At most, they can only lurk in the dark to carry out terror and destruction. The city guards There’s not much pressure on the army, just be more careful!”
Zhang Tiehei opened his mouth. At this moment, he wanted to tell him about the Black Iron Castle he had obtained, but the reason in his heart told him that if he told this secret and let his family know, he might be in trouble for this. The family has brought disasters that no one could have predicted, because whether it is himself, his brother, or even his parents, they are just small people in Black Flame City. It is not that Zhang Tie has never heard of small people getting treasures before, but In the end, none of the little guys seem to have a happy ending. Maybe, keeping this secret in your heart forever and not letting your parents worry is the best choice...
After the meal, my brother left. My father was going to play chess with friends from the neighborhood in the evening. This was his biggest hobby. My mother was going to church. After closing the door, Zhang Tie was the only one left at home. After collecting and washing the dishes, Zhang Tie returned to his hut.
Now, it's time to study the secrets of that black iron castle again...
