Evetrona's old stories

"You call me sister?" Akanlu was delighted when she heard it. "Why do I feel that I am not as old as you? Are you really a student studying at the Knight Academy?"

"Sister, your words are really choking." Di Geng's laughter came from his nose, and he continued: "You are a second-year student, and we are freshmen. Regardless of age, we are all seniors. Lin Xin, what do you think?"

"He's right." Lin Xin nodded.

"My name is Dicken Dib, and his name is Linxin Wigto." Dicken stretched out his hand.

"Akanlu Ratvin." Akanlu also reached out his hand and held it together. Eve watched as Digen's hand was deformed.Immediately afterwards, Akanlu shook hands with Lin Xin again, but this time he didn't make any small moves.

In this way, Akanlu is considered to have known these two people.

"Why did you suddenly eat so much today?" Akanlu turned his attention back to Eve.

"She didn't have a sudden increase in food intake, but she was starved for several days." Di Geng said while shaking his red and swollen hands, "Eve, is the food on the train worthy of your attention as a gourmet?"

"Actually, there are a few things that are okay." Eve pointed to salt-fried cod, macaroni bolognese and bread pudding.It's not just expensive or rare dishes that catch her eye.

"To tell you the truth, I have seen many ladies from rich families who were beautiful when they were young, but because they couldn't control their mouths, they grew up to be fat and ugly." Di Geng said with a serious face.

"Indeed, and you are so easy to get sick, you should exercise more..." Akanlu also said.

"Eat less and exercise more. I've heard that many people don't get fat when they are young, but they suddenly become fat when they get older. It's too late to realize it by then." Di Geng said again.

Eve put down the spoon and sighed. Di Geng said that she herself was a little worried. It would be fine if she became a girl. If she became a fat man again, it would be a collapse.

The dinner ended with a denunciation of Eve. Originally, I just wanted the three of them to get to know each other, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

"Try to wrestle your wrists?" Eve said to Di Geng and Akanlu after eating.

"What's the comparison? It's also compared to Lin Xin?" Di Geng said with a smile.

"Your hands don't hurt anymore?" Eve asked him.

"I just didn't realize it just now. If I try again, I still don't know who will suffer."

"Okay, then try again, with arm wrestling." Akanlu put her right arm on the table, and she was a little eager to try.

"Okay then." Although Di Geng expressed indifference in his tone, he didn't have much confidence in his heart. He raised his arms and held Akanlu's hands together, and the elbows of the two touched the table.

Akanlu said, "Eve, you give the order."

"Okay, take your seats..." Eve cleared her throat, "Three, two, one, let's go!"

As soon as the word "start" came out, Akanlu pressed Di Geng's arm on the table.

"Wait a minute! Try again, I didn't realize it just now!" Di Geng leaned over and slapped the table with his other hand and shouted.

So the two tried again, but Di Geng persisted for two seconds this time, and was easily suppressed by Akanlu in the end.

"How is this possible?" Di Geng frowned. He was extremely confused about the result of this competition, so he questioned Akanlu: "You don't look strong? Could it be that you used martial arts secretly?"

"Do you still need martial arts to deal with you?" Akanlu snorted softly, leaning on the back of the chair and hugging his shoulders, showing a dismissive attitude towards Di Geng's questioning.

"Lin Xin, do you want to try?" In fact, Eve's goal from the beginning was Lin Xin, and in her opinion, it is almost beyond doubt that Di can be defeated by Akanlu.

"I..." Lin Xin hesitated.

"Come on, lad," Akanlu said. "You haven't said a few words since we sat here. You don't have to say anything, but at least you have to be a little involved."

So Lin Xin nodded, changed seats with Di and sat opposite Akanlu.The two settled for arm wrestling, and after Eve gave the order, the competition began.

This time, the strength of the two sides seemed to be evenly matched. Akanlu and Lin Xin had a stalemate for more than ten seconds at the beginning, and then Lin Xin had the upper hand.

"Hey, this kid doesn't look like a mountain, but he has such great strength!" Akanlu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled at Lin Xin, "Do you want to try again?"

"Change your hand." Lin Xin said.

It was only then that Eve remembered that Lin Xin seemed to be left-handed.

Needless to say, Lin Xin defeated the opponent cleanly with almost no effort.

"Awesome..." Akanlu was convinced, she shook her arms, and said to Lin Xin: "The training center speaks on the basis of strength, but your temperament is too disadvantageous. If you can change it, you can be a team leader without saying a word."

"I don't like managing people very much." Lin Xin scratched his head and said.

"In an environment like the training center, if you don't care about people, you will be managed by others." Akanlu disagreed with his statement.

"Eve, shall we break your wrist too?" Di Geng stretched out his hand and said to Eve.

"You can bully me now." Eve shook her head, stood up and said, "It's getting dark soon, and it's time for us to go back and rest."

Since Eve met these two people, the four of them had things to do. They either got together to play cards and chess, or went to the local tavern to drink and chat with the locals during the stop time. Several days passed.

On the morning of the fifth day, while Eve was still asleep, she suddenly felt a violent shaking, and her body rolled around on the bed, leaning against the railing.She woke up with a start, only to realize that the train had stopped halfway.

It was just dawn at this time, and Eve didn't know what was going on ahead, so she had to put on her coat and went to the corridor with Akanlu.

The corridor of the train carriage is relatively narrow and can only accommodate one and a half people. If you encounter someone passing by in the corridor, the two people need to turn sideways to pass. If you encounter a dining car, you need to find a box door to avoid it.At this time, the corridor was full of people. Someone opened the window and looked outside. They could see a few people standing in the direction of the front of the car, but they were too far away to see what was going on.The car had been parked for a while, and some curious students wanted to go out to have a look, but the doors at both ends of the car were locked, so they jumped out of the window.Eve leaned in front of the window and took a look, but she didn't expect that the student who took the lead to run out was Di Geng.

Seeing that the students jumped out of the window and ran away, the flight attendant opened the door in desperation and warned them not to go far.

"Should we also go and see?" Akanlu asked her.

"Let's go." Eve nodded, wearing a camel woolen coat, she followed Akanlu out of the carriage.The middle part of Klikin is almost an open plain. The train is now parked in a wilderness. There are gravels under the rails, and the snow-covered mud outside is full of stones and withered grass. They followed the students and walked forward until they reached the place where the crowd gathered at the front of the train and stopped.

At this time, there was a circle of people around the front of the car, and the focus of the crowd was the three local civilians standing in the middle and several train attendants.

Eve saw that two flight attendants were holding a weapon similar to a rifle. The body of the gun had a long round tube made of frosted glass. There was a dancing yellow flash in the tube. I don't know if it was a flame or something. electric fluid.Standing behind them was a middle-aged man wearing a black hat with a large brim, which should be the captain, and next to the captain was a shirtless man in suspenders. Look at his strong arms and the shovel in his hand. Probably the fireman of the train.

The three civilians were terrified when they saw the students who looked like they were dressed in the army around them. Even when the flight attendant asked them if they had any accomplices, they could not speak a word.

A few students were looking at the front of the car, and Eve followed suit, only to see a pile of stones piled up on the railway in front of the car, and then looked back to see the three kitchen knives thrown on the ground, Eve I also roughly guessed what happened here just now.

"This incident has not caused any major disturbances, but it's not all trivial!" The driver took off his hat and fiddled with it, revealing his slightly bald forehead.

One of the civilians immediately knelt down when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice, "We don't dare anymore, my lord... let me let you go... let us go!" One person knelt on the ground, and the other two also knelt down, begging the driver for mercy.The three of them were all wearing patched winter clothes. They didn't know what was stuffed inside, and they looked very bloated.

"Okay, get up, kowtow when you see people, what kind of bad habit is this!" The driver frowned, looking very unhappy, he turned his head to look at the students around him, and said, "You are all students in the academy, and your brains are very clever. Why don't you tell me how to deal with these three bastards?"

The scene suddenly became noisy.

Not long after, Long Ke from Bomeng came out from among the students, ran to the driver and started whispering to the middle-aged man.The chief driver listened carefully to what he said, frowning tightly at first, then relaxed, raised his eyebrows again, and finally nodded slowly.He glanced at Longke, took out a pocket watch from his pocket, opened it, and said to him, "Within 10 minutes."

"No problem." Long Ke raised his chin, ran back to the group of students, and discussed something with the people around him. After a while, Eve heard someone applaud.

"What are they trying to do?" Eve asked Akanlu.

"You don't want to tie these three people to the back of the train and drag them away?"

Akanlu's answer surprised Eve, and Eve pointed to the three people still kneeling on the gravel ground and whispered, "They just stopped a train, so they shouldn't be guilty of death, right?"

"If this car hits directly, maybe something will happen, besides, the sight is not good in the morning." Akanlu pushed Eve back a few steps, and then said: "But the driver will definitely not agree to this. idea, so I think they have other plans."

Just as he was talking, the group of people dispersed, and Di Geng was among them. When he came here at this time, he seemed to have a satisfied expression on his face.

"Okay, in the name of the Chief Prosecutor of the Temporary Prosecutor's Office of the Knights Academy, I'm prosecuting you..." A self-proclaimed boy in a long trench coat pointed at the three people in the field and said this. Then he turned around and asked Long Ke behind him in a low voice: "Is that what you said?"

"That's it, Enpeite, it's almost enough, the form doesn't matter." Longke patted him on the shoulder, and then walked to an open space next to the train. Another student had already stood here early. He called Becklin was tall and a little fat. Seeing Longke approaching, Becklin said angrily, "Then...now the court is open, let's enter the trial!"

Then, the students rushed towards the open space, as if they had been rehearsed in advance. The students in uniform surrounded a large square open space on the outside, and they all stood one meter apart with their arms crossed, looking a bit flustered. , but the expressions are not serious, they all look leisurely watching a movie.Afterwards, a few more students entered the circle and stood according to their positions in the square open space. Someone pulled up the three civilians who were kneeling on the ground, and forced the three sloppy people into the circle amidst their constant begging for mercy. The man was pulled into the circle.It is worth noting that Di Geng is now standing in the middle of the direction of the train carriage - a position where the stars surround the moon.

On the other side, the chief driver asked the fireman to go back to look at the boiler and take over the co-driver's shift. After a while, the co-driver in overalls trotted over, said a few words to the chief driver, and walked into the circle surrounded by the students with a smile.The captain was still outside, holding a black pipe in his hand and smoking a cigarette in one gulp.

"Is there anyone willing to join the jury?" Long Ke raised his hand and shouted to the students who were watching outside.

Di had seen Eve earlier, and he waved his hand in her direction excitedly, and pointed to the position on his left.So, everyone present focused their attention on Eve.

"Let's go." Akanlu took Eve to the right side of the square circle and stood at the human wall, which is the position of the jury. Eve's presence excited the onlookers for a while. Soon, Long Ke A dozen jury members including Eve and Akanlu were recruited.

"Hey, Grady, go and squat in front of Digen." Longke commanded a thin boy.

"Which one is Di Ge?" The little Ge Laidi asked a little ignorantly.

"The old-fashioned one standing in the middle, let's go." Longke patted Gelaidi on the back, and the boy quickly ran out.

Fatty Becklin saw that everyone had gathered together, so he said: "Everyone, please be quiet. The presiding judge is in place, the prosecution lawyer is in place, the defense lawyer is in place, the fourteen jury members have arrived, and the prosecution witnesses are here. Arrived at the scene, the three defendants have taken their seats..."

After Becklin finished speaking this long paragraph, the scene was silent.

So, Long Ke quickly gestured to Di Geng.

"Oh, huh! I, the presiding judge announced that the trial is now beginning!" Di Geng's tone did not sound like announcing the opening of the court, but rather a verdict in court.

In fact, none of the students had studied professional law, so whether it was the stage or the lines, they were generally based on their impressions of the Klicking Court. This group of people stood up and acted, which looked nondescript, but for the three "defendants", it was indeed enough to scare them.

The three civilians stood for a while, then knelt down again, this time not because they wanted to kneel, but because their legs were too weak to stand up.Eve sighed when she saw their appearance. Isn't this a kind of bullying?There is an old Klicking saying that "one child is polite, but a group of children is immoral." Perhaps in the eyes of this group of students, having fun is more important than anything else, and they never know how to be considerate of others.Eve glanced at Longke who was standing outside, and couldn't help feeling disgusted with this person.

During the trial, Enpeite, the prosecutor's lawyer, was basically making statements. Di Geng nodded repeatedly listening to his fluent and infectious speech, and wanted to express his own opinions many times. As a result, They were all stopped in time by Becklin beside him, and the method was simple and rude, just cover Di Geng's mouth with his big bear-like hand.

"Now I'm asking for evidence," Empet said.

A student crossed in from the sidelines and handed three kitchen knives to Ge Laidi who was squatting in front of Di Geng. Ge Laidi held these knives with a dazed look on his face, and asked, "Why did you give it to me? "

Long Ke didn't answer but asked instead: "Glady, think about it, what's in front of the presiding judge in our Kriging's criminal court?"

"Scribe!" Grady's eyes lit up.

"No, it's the evidence table—you are the evidence table now."

The audience roared with laughter, leaving the three defendants in the middle tremblingly at a loss.

"Then who is the clerk? Is it Becklin?"

"He is a court official. There are no clerks here, and there is no work that clerks can do." Long Ke replied.

Galidi pouted, looking unhappy, but finally admitted that he was the evidence table.

The co-driver of the train, who was a witness for the prosecution, came forward to confirm the murder weapon. Then, the defense argued that the testimony of the witness was invalid because the co-driver was working in the boiler room at the time, so the chief driver was also summoned.After a while, the uncleared stone on the track was removed as evidence, and the "evidence table" held it with both hands, which caused another round of laughter. It seemed that the target of bullying had shifted from the three civilians to this skinny boy.

At this time, Eve's heart has reached an unprecedented contradiction. On the one hand, she also feels that this scene is really funny, but on the other hand, she feels that Longke's actions are too bad.But in short, she still planned to watch the show, and seeing the attitude of Akanlu around her, she was clearly enjoying it just like everyone else.

The prosecutor's lawyer didn't talk for too long. After all, the time given by the captain was limited, and Becklin's negligence gave Di Geng a chance to speak.

"I declare that these three people are guilty and sentenced to be shot on the spot!" Di said hastily.

When the three civilians heard the words of the "presiding judge", they were frightened and begged for forgiveness loudly, crying.

Long Ke stood on the periphery, and couldn't help curling his lips when he heard Di Geng speak—this bastard really didn't follow the script.

But it doesn't matter, there is no jury here.

"Okay, the presiding judge is not the only master of the court, and now he is willing to ask the jury to make a verdict." Long Ke grasped the timing appropriately, "We can make the vote simpler - raise your hand if you think these three civilians are innocent!" Long Ke raised his hand while speaking.

As a result, the 14 members of the jury raised their hands one after another.

"Okay, the result is obvious, then please let the judge announce the final judgment—" Longke turned his head and looked at Di Gen with a smile.

At this moment, everyone was looking at him.

"Not guilty, let go." Di said weakly.

There was a burst of cheers on the field, and at this time Eve, like the three civilians kneeling on the ground in the crowd, still didn't know what happened, and what was the significance of Longke's tormenting.

Obviously, things are not over.Long Ke walked up to the three civilians again and asked them: "Okay, we decided to let you go, but you have to clean up the track."

Upon hearing this, the three civilians finally woke up like a dream, thanked them hurriedly, and immediately went to clean up the stones. While the expressions of these people relaxed, Longke's only son followed them and asked them why they stopped the train here. At this time, they told the general truth: these three people are bachelors from nearby villages, all of them are about 40 years old. , They heard that the steam train here would carry a lot of valuable goods, so they planned to try their luck. This morning, after drinking, they bravely came here and sealed the track with stones. They really wanted to stop the train and go up to steal the goods. But due to lack of common sense and ignorance and cowardice, the three of them were surrounded by the chief driver and the fireman. At that time, they were still thinking, how could there be people on the train?

Everyone knows what happened after that.Long Ke explained the situation to everyone in a few words, and said: "These three are poor people abandoned by the times. Although their tragedies were not caused by us alone, but now that we have seen them, we are obliged to help them, because we are students of the Knight Academy-the affairs of the country are our affairs."

If someone said such words in another era, most of the reactions would be dismissive and indifferent, but what I have to admit is that the times are different, and the power displayed in the words is also completely different. Not only did the three civilians behind him burst into tears when they heard these words, even some of the students had red eyes, especially the "evidence table" Ge Laidi, who wiped his eyes with his sleeve and cried bitterly.

"Let's donate to them." Longke took off his hat and suggested to everyone: "Purely rely on voluntary, spontaneous, and capable donations. After all, not all of our students are rich, and most of them are spent from their parents' money." He took out two silver coins from his pocket, put them in the hat, and said: "I emphasize: don't donate too much money, it's also for their own good."

He walked into the crowd with his hat, and silver coins, copper coins, and nickel coins were thrown into the hat like raindrops. There were a few silver coins more, and one nickel coin was less. Eve also threw two silver coins in, and saw Longke winking and smiling at her.

Eve felt a little ashamed now, she thought that this person just wanted to make fun of these commoners, but she never thought that Long Ke would be such a "decent" person.

When Long Ke returned to the three civilians, the hat was almost full of small coins. He wanted to give the hat to the civilians, but the three refused, so he had to pour the coins on them. In the makeshift pocket of the winter coat.In the sound of their thankful farewell, Galidi ran forward again and threw three kitchen knives into their purses one by one.

Maybe the money is of no use to the three commoners, and they will be gone after drinking alcohol for a month and a half, but Eve guesses that they won't do this—although these people got a lot of money, they also got it A profound lesson.

Looking at the backs of them leaving, everyone seemed to have gotten more than these three, and they all looked very satisfied.

The flight attendant drove the students into the car one after another. Eve walked behind and accidentally saw the driver and the co-driver walking towards the front of the car. Their conversation was as follows:

"My brother, what do you think of these students?"

"It's not bad, but it can be tossed a little."

"It doesn't matter if you toss around, that means you have vitality." The captain laughed loudly: "Although there are no nobles in Kriging now, these new generations still retain the character of real nobles, which is really rare."

Shengfeng Mountain and Benlong Castle (Part [-])

The Xiguang steam train arrived at Benlongbao Station at around 4:1 p.m. on the sixth day.It can be said that the distance from Yundigong Station, 150 kilometers away, is the special line of the Knight Academy. The train runs at full speed with empty cargo containers almost throughout the entire journey, and the sense of bumps is a little strong.

When approaching the station, most of the students had rushed to the corridor with their luggage in advance, and the narrow corridor was full of people at this time. After the train stopped, the students cheered and rushed out of the train.From Yutong City Station to Benlong Castle, this train also carried a lot of students along the way. The three carriages excluded the space occupied by the dining room and entertainment room, and the private compartments can only accommodate more than 70 passengers. There are more than 200 people.
