Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 136 Berries and Raven

If you're looking for the best places to visit in North, you can't avoid the area around Westminster.

Perhaps "just right" is just right to describe this chosen place.The pleasant climate has obvious changes in the four seasons. While not facing the same scenery all year round, it also maintains a comfortable temperature for most of the days.

The abundant and gentle middle reaches of the Tem River are like the softest and smoothest part of a silk ribbon, spread between forest farms and meadows, embellished with jewels polished by the Enos for hundreds of years.

Fort Westminster is one of the most dazzling ones, and it even tends to overwhelm the place where the throne is placed - Dunling.

Speaking of this name, perhaps most people will associate it with the twin towers and sloped city wall patterns on the gold coins, and think that it is a set of buildings that can represent the pinnacle of the kingdom's military.

While that's not a bad idea, the title "Westminster" has been generously shared with the cities that arose around the Centennial Project, and within a few days' carriage ride, has become synonymous with a region.

In short, the place with Westminster as the administrative center can basically be called the Westminster area.

In fact, after several stops, the ship has already approached the periphery of this area, and some of the primitive but delicious fruits brought back by each stop have become the outsider's first impression of the local rich natural gifts.Blueberries and a summer specialty, a berry presumably related to the raspberry, are particularly popular.

In this season when the weather is gradually warming up, the warm and slightly hot sun combined with the river wind and water vapor on the deck, and the green vegetation on both sides are the best match in summer.Adding a lounge chair and berry platter will turn a dull journey into a treat.

Presumably, after arriving in Westminster, it will be a very good experience to carry out activities in the green space under the shade of trees.

The turbulence of river navigation is indeed much smaller than that of the sea, and the wide river has no restrictions on the width of the hull, which makes the deck a very suitable place for placing tables, chairs and idlers.Kraft spread out the books and fruit bowl here, resting his mind and eyeballs.

During the happy time, he chatted with Martin, who was also doing nothing, about the local natural scenery of Westminster, the location and architecture of Rivers University, and how unsuitable the north is for survival in comparison.And listening to the other party carefully explain the blood relationship between the "Duke of Westminster" and the royal family, and the inevitability and legitimacy of controlling this important military shipping place not far from Dunling.

Although with Kraft's comprehension ability at the level of a rustic old hat, he only understands that the relationship between the person sitting on the throne and Westminster is no more than a cousin, but the greater value lies in discovering that Martin is really not Simple.

The callused palm can grasp the slippery fruit that has just been washed, so the saber is probably not for viewing.

Maybe it has something to do with Westminster, but it also sends letters to university academic gatherings, and the composition is very complicated.

How was such a man sent to deliver the letter?Kraft doesn't really want to delve into this issue, anyway, it has nothing to do with him for the time being, he just wants to maintain a good mood and temporarily forget about the dull pain in his left arm, or other sensations.

In the chaotic interweaving between layers, something that should be called an accident happened.As the center of the storm, the stone prism was also affected, and collapsed into small pieces.

Then, it is the same as the characteristics of the new year's goods made by a certain swirl label company, and the mold is inserted into the left arm.Because it was not a violent piercing by ordinary trauma, Kraft found that these things that were fused with the tissue could not be pulled out by force, and showed a very outrageous affinity.

The body accepted them naturally, like the sesamoid bone that was already placed there, without any rejection reaction or anything, just like it was placed at the core of the crawling deep creature when it was intact.

Although the large-scale inflammation and vascular obstruction that Kraft was most worried about miraculously did not happen, this still caused a certain degree of inconvenient movement and abnormal pain and temperature sensation, and made it impossible to wear short sleeves in summer in the future.

I often feel static-like pain being stimulated from somewhere, and like ice thorns or red-hot needles from candles, wandering through the musculoskeletal.Its gross and fine motor effects can be overcome through willpower, but... Chronic disease can really be torturous.

He needs to deliberately control the irritability caused by frequent symptoms, so that it will not be transferred to other people and things.

Unless you temporarily put aside a bunch of troubles and get a rare tranquility during a walk-and-go trip—for example, now, you will get some leisurely pleasure.

Kraft is indeed very happy, but according to the law of conservation, both happiness and energy are constant. When someone gets happiness in leisure, his excess energy may make others not so happy.

Kupp and Yvonne listened to the nonsense that "someone invited us to travel for free", packed their luggage and saved money, and prepared to experience a more relaxed and pleasant trip.As a result, within a few days of boarding the ship, I found that things were a little different from what I imagined.

Kraft, who had put down his surgical work, felt a bit free for a while, like an old man who had just retired, and his sense of incompatibility made him need to devote an appropriate amount of time and energy to any serious business.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, this matter is a matter of education and training.

You can't expect that a person who is used to "lifelong learning" will change his concept because of a change of environment. The habit of regular teaching activities has been integrated into the soul.As a result, two people experienced contemporary high-quality education, and their academic pressure rose sharply.

Because the basics of Yvonne and Kupp are at the same level, only one lesson can be prepared for two people with half the age difference.

After unifying the content and increasing the load, some things that were only vague intuitions were gradually quantified.Kraft has long had this feeling, and finally confirmed the existence of the phenomenon. Kupp's learning ability is actually better than Yvonne's.

【Strange】

Kraft proofread the results of the past month and found this discrepancy.Compared with Kupu, Yvonne showed a slight weakness in memory, and was slightly behind in the ability to accept new knowledge.

This incident quickly raised his vigilance, and various negative cases about growth and development and children's psychology were highlighted in his mind.

Before Kraft's arrival, Yvonne's living condition was a counterexample among counterexamples.From a material point of view, I was malnourished, and I just hit the second growth peak puberty, and I don't know how long it lasted.

Psychologically, with entering adolescence, the changes will be very great. As a result, there will be a major life event such as the serious illness and death of the only relative.

In children's neuropsychological development, social factors can basically step on all the mines that can be stepped on. There is a high probability of problems, and it is an accident if there are no problems.Someone was so scared that he quickly reviewed whether he had paid attention to nutrition issues recently. Besides, he searched his memory overnight and drew a picture of "Ruiwen" by hand.

Well, the full name is "Raven's Reasoning Test", which is often used to test the level of intelligence.

"Yvonne, can you come here? There is a little game, do you want to try it?"

"Of course, Mr. Kraft." Hearing the call, Yvonne put down her spelling homework and came to him very obediently.

"It's like this. Look, there is a big picture here, but one piece is missing." With a working attitude, Kraft used the gentle attitude he had accumulated in the past few days, imitating the patience he learned from his pediatrics teacher, and ensuring that the outside world The factor interference is the least, "You need to choose one of the following six small blocks to fill the vacancy."

"I see, I'll choose the fourth." The girl's eyes went back and forth between his expression and the paper several times, and after a little hesitation, she chose the obvious correct answer, so simple that she wondered if there was any trap in it .

The study during this period of time puts a lot of pressure on her, especially after she finds that she is almost as good as Kupp after extra effort. If possible, she doesn't want to let Kraft down.

Children's feelings are actually quite sensitive, and their limited experience does not prevent them from noticing the irritability that adults inadvertently show that are not aimed at themselves.

"Oh, don't look at me like that, I promise you, this is not a quiz, okay? It's just a game, there is no right or wrong."

【This is a lie】

The white coat uses this excuse every day to trick the children into taking the quiz, and afterward, distributes prizes to them and discusses it with the parents alone.

But Yvonne's situation is more complicated. There are no parents to talk to, and Kraft has basically zero confidence in his own psychological counseling and growth and development correction.I can only pray secretly that it is not a neuropsychological developmental abnormality.

Yvonne believed it, just believed it... This kind of trust made Kraft leave with a little guilt, waiting for her to complete the test independently.

Almost at the time when the next door was holding back another paragraph of manuscript, Yvonne handed back the stack of papers to him, and returned a sentence of praise for his self-esteem.

"It's pretty fun."

About 30 minutes, in terms of experience, the completion time is too long.

"Thank you, it was a great help."

The tester sent Yvonne away with a smile, closed the door, flipped through the results nervously, and calculated the scores according to age, inexplicably understanding the mood of the parents who were waiting for the test results outside the door.

Compared with age and original score, the result is above 70.00%, which is classified as a good level.Not bad?Kraft touched his chin, which had not been shaved for a few days, and there was a not so obvious short beard emerging.

At least the results of the rough intelligence test are satisfactory, and there are no signs of bad behavior or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder from the usual performance, so there is something wrong with the comparison object?
Considering the huge change in Kupp's impression from a lazy dog ​​to his current state after experiencing the incident in the salt tide area, maybe it's not just his character that has changed.It is reasonable to speculate that, without going deeper, just facing the impact of deep events at the first level can produce beneficial changes in intelligence in the early stage.

"It's interesting." Kraft put away the scale and recorded this discovery in his notes, hoping that he would not have the opportunity to collect a large number of samples to verify it.

It is not important for the time being, the important thing is to rule out a bad possibility.Stretching, he got up and went back to sit down at the deck table, continuing to enjoy the unfinished blueberries and raspberry relatives.

Reaching out to the fruit plate, he picked up one and was about to throw it into his mouth, but stopped near his mouth.Kraft held the blueberry up to his eyes, and wondered how it had a darker and cleaner skin compared to its peers, and there was a difference in the feel.

The color is deep purple and close to black, and the shape and size are also similar.

Carefully observe the fruit plate, after such a time of coming and going, not only have the berries in it not been stolen, but there are more.

"Martin, do you still have stock?"

"Ah?" Mr. Messenger's equally confused voice came from below.He climbed onto the deck and took the blueberry that looked a little overripe.

This face, which has not been too expressive all the way, after seeing clearly what it got, it is like a layer of cumulonimbus-like solemnity in the summer sky in a short time.

"Who gave you this 'blueberry'?"

　Recommend a novel of the original flavor (￣▽￣)／

　　It was written by a friend, and the taste is good.
