Tet Rog put the person in charge back on the ground and asked him, "Tell me, why did the rope break?"

"I think it might be an accident." The person in charge accompanied him carefully, "Look at the section, I guess it's the quality of the rope itself. I heard that the student fell into the water at a very low position, and the weight of the rope was added to the water. The master's weight just happened to hit the weak point of the rope, so it is possible to break it suddenly."

"It makes sense." Tetrogg picked up the rope and nodded slowly.

"You're treating us as fools." Di Geng didn't agree with this, "Look at the classmate you mentioned—" He pointed to Eve behind him, "Even if a pig is hung on such a thick rope, it may not be broken, let alone such a delicate little girl."

Eve was already in a bad mood, but after hearing what he said, she couldn't help kicking him.

Not only Eve, Tetrogg was not very happy when he heard Di Gen's words.He tossed the rope in his hand, picked out another good piece, and held both ends of the rope tightly with both hands—only to see that he straightened his waist and raised his hands to the level of his eyebrows. The rope snapped abruptly.

For a while, the field was silent.

Seeing the reaction of the students at this time, Tet Rog was very proud, but he tried his best to restrain himself.He cleared his cough, said with a straight face and a serious tone: "The quality of this rope is indeed average."

"Normal? Your hands were shaking so badly just now that you tore the rope and smoked. Is that normal?" Dicken became angry again, and he was very dissatisfied with Tetrog's messy behavior.

"Okay, then tell me what's going on." Tetrog glanced at him, with a threatening tone in his tone, "I'll talk about it after I think about it."

"Do you need to think about it? It's obvious that someone is doing something bad." Di Geng looked around, and he said loudly to everyone: "I don't want to say what kind of heart this person has, some people are born with psychological distortions. Indeed, it may be that I am too sensitive. I can't rule out that this is just an accident, but no matter what, this matter must be investigated and found out!"

Tet Rogg folded his arms, and he was smiling, a little thought-provoking. "How do you want to check?" he asked Dicken.

"Now that something happens, someone has to be responsible and punished." Di Geng said, "It can be the person behind you, it can be the person who has handled these tools, or it can be the supplier of the rope, whichever it is, you have to find someone to explain it first."

Tet Rogg shrugged, looking at his expression, he seemed to be listening to Di Geng's words as a joke, after all, the other party was just a student.However, he turned sideways and pushed the person in charge who was hiding behind him to the front, "Hey, you are really useless. People have already said that they want you to come out and top the tank, so what do you want to say now?"

"It's none of my business, I did what I had to do - I asked them to warm up, I asked them to check the tools, but they all checked themselves before starting to work..."

"Look, that's what he said." Tetrog spread his hands, and turned his head to Eve. He was about to speak, but he noticed something again, "I remembered...it was you, you still wanted to be lazy under my nose last year-of course I remembered you-you still wanted to deceive me, just playing tricks."

Eve was embarrassed when she heard this.

"Let's not mention this first, let me ask you, little girl, who were you in the team with at the time? Did you - like the person in charge said, check that the tools are in good condition before starting work?"

Eve couldn't remember if they checked, at least not herself.

"It has been checked." But she replied firmly, "The rope was still intact at that time."

"I'm the one who pulls the rope for her." Di Geng stood beside her, "Of course it needs to be checked, and the rope is broken like this now—if it's been through a pair of wheels, I haven't noticed the problem yet, when I was Blind?" He added, "That little boy was there at the time, and he distributed the tools—I don't know how you assigned the tasks, but if there are still problems with this thing after it is transferred to me, it is obviously Your fault." After Di Geng finished speaking, he raised his chin at the person in charge.

"Who's the boy?" Tetrogg asked.

"He's talking about Fan Bijiu, a student of our School of Philosophy." The person in charge said.

A young man broke through the crowd and came in. It was Fan Bijiu. He was originally fair and tender, but now his face was pale, and his eyes were full of worry when he looked at Eve.

"I also checked all the ropes before distributing them, and there are no problems." When he faced Tet Rog, his voice was a little trembling.

Tetrogg sighed, as if he was tired of the increasingly complicated situation.He waved his hand, "Forget it, I shouldn't be in charge of this matter, but what our Knight Academy lacks most is people with strong investigative and interrogation capabilities. If it is really serious, then I will find someone to do it." He bent his back and looked at Di even closer, "What do you think of this, kid? I am also a little curious about why the rope broke. Maybe someone did it himself?"

Di Geng turned his head and sneered, he didn't even bother to pay attention to the idiot in front of him.

"There's no need to find anyone. It was just an accident. There are so many conspiracies." Eve picked up the spellcasting book on the ground, and she said to the two of them, "I'm too cold, so I have to go back to rest now. Just let it go, don't make any troubles."

Only then did Di Geng realize that he took off his coat and put it on Eve's shoulders, but was ripped off by the other party and handed it back to him in a ball.The people around were relieved to see it for a while - now they are treated equally.

"Glady, you should go back quickly, check your injuries, don't delay." She said to those students who wanted to rescue, "Thank you for your help, don't stay too long, be careful of catching a cold." She just sneezed.

After listening to her words, the students laughed or scratched their heads—these people also understood that they didn't help much just now.

"This is what we should do." It was Longke who spoke, and he stroked his wet hair, and continued, "If the person who fell into the water today is not Eve, but another classmate, or a stranger I don't know , as long as someone needs help, we will never sit idly by."

When he finished speaking, those around him also straightened their backs.

Eve didn't expose him.She smiled and gave Longke a thumbs up, and then left the crowd.

While everyone was thinking about the girl's movements and expressions, Galidi ran out quickly and caught up with Eve who was walking in front.

"Her name is Eve?" A heavy hand suddenly patted on Long Ke's shoulder, causing him to tremble in fright. Tetrog asked him, "Is her name Eve Harveyn?"

"That's right, her name is Eve Haven, sir." Longko replied word by word.

"It turned out to be her." Tet Rog shook his head, he took off the cactus-like hat on his head, and patted his forehead with his hands, making a crackling noise.

Di even felt that Eve might have been a little angry when she put on her coat just now, but he didn't understand why she was angry.He just wanted to catch up with Eve, but Tetrogg pinched the back of his neck and dragged him back.

He turned to see Tetrogg staring at him with a smile on his face.

"What else? She said forget it, forget it." Di Geng said in an unhappy tone.He broke free from the big hand on the collar, and walked away without looking back.

Tetrogg laughed out loud.Afterwards, he said to the person in charge: "Send someone to inform, let those children come down, don't do it today, just say it's my order. It's about time I go back, and let the warehouse send it tomorrow. Some decent people come to my place and I have to talk to them about this batch of rope . . . have a good talk."

[139] Crimson Sky (Part [-])

Eve went back to the apartment to get a set of clothes, and then went to the bathroom to wash her body again.When she returned at noon, she felt a little dizzy in her head.She slept all afternoon that day, felt a little headache, and didn't sleep very well; it wasn't until the next morning, when Avra ​​and Xilinya didn't see her, that they realized that she had fallen ill.

When they entered the bedroom, Eve was still lying on the bed. Her head was sweating profusely, and her hair was wet and stuck to her face. She looked a little pitiful.Elvira put her hand on her forehead, the girl was running a fever, her breathing was heavy, her brows were furrowed, as if she was enduring pain.

"I'm fine, just take a day off, and you guys go to class." She said to the two—her voice changed.

"I'm a little seriously ill. You watch here. I'll go downstairs to find the administrator." After Xilinya said to Avilla, she ran out in a hurry.

Eve wanted to get up to get the shirt, but Elvira pressed her shoulders to prevent her from getting up.Eve smiled at her, and said weakly, "I'm fine," but fell asleep again a few seconds later.

Luo Jieka found a tall girl downstairs, and after Elvira put on Eve's coat, she asked her to carry the patient to the consulting room near the college.

When Eve woke up again, she was lying on the hospital bed on the first floor of the consulting room, and Xilinya was putting a wet towel on her forehead.

Eve only felt that her body was burning hot. She lifted the corner of the quilt, but it was covered again by the other party.

"Don't catch a cold anymore. If you feel hot now, I'll go and open the window," she said.

Eve nodded at her.

So Xilinya got up and opened the window halfway.

Fresh air poured into the room, and for a moment, Eve felt better. "I never thought I'd be sick." She sighed.

Xilinya sat back beside her, "Of course people get sick." She took out a fruit knife and lowered her head to peel an apple.

But indeed, since Eve came to this world, she was sick for the first time.It wasn't until this moment that she realized that her current body was not invulnerable to all poisons.

She felt a little uncomfortable in her trachea and lungs, perhaps because she choked on water yesterday.Looking at the white ceiling above her head, she was stunned, and her head became dizzy again, until something cold and cold came close to her mouth.She opened her mouth and ate the fragrant fruit.

"I don't have much appetite right now," she said.

"Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

"What time is it now?"

"It's just after noon." Xilinya replied, "Avella and Mara went shopping together, and the four of us will eat together later." She added, "Even if you don't have an appetite, you should eat a little, the doctor said, The next time you take your medicine will be after lunch."

Eve nodded.

She wanted to ask Xilinya a lot of things, such as whether they went to class in the morning, how they got themselves here, etc., but she felt uncomfortable now, she didn't want to think about anything, and she didn't even bother to move.

After a while, Elvira and Mara came back with rice and fruit.Lunch was light, porridge, beans, and hash browns, and it didn't smell very good, so Eve lost her appetite even more.After she drank half a bowl of porridge, she lay down to rest, but Xilinya began to peel the oranges again. She cleaned the white orange tang before feeding her the transparent orange petals.

After taking the medicine in the afternoon, Eve fell asleep again in a daze.Sickness is a sad thing that can rob a person of interest and direction in life, seemingly in an instant.

Since Eve and the others didn't go to class today, soon, the students who were familiar with them in the college got the news of Eve's illness. When get out of class was over in the evening, they came to visit in groups.

Xilinya was very busy cleaning her face and combing her hair—this rich daughter seemed to like to take care of others.She was afraid that these visitors would disturb the patient's rest, and wanted Eve to pretend to be asleep, and let the three of them deal with these people, but Eve didn't think so—she was lying on the hospital bed, seeing those classmates and friends whom she met almost every day, and seeing the concerned and curious eyes they cast on her, she was secretly happy.

She never thought that a person suffering from a minor illness could attract so many people.

"This is not a minor illness." Xilinya corrected her opinion, "The doctor said that you have inflammation in your body now, and it will kill you if it gets serious. Leave them alone, you need to rest more." She said exaggeratedly, as if threatening her.

In the evening, Oleden also came, and he brought a basket of fruit and a large bouquet of flowers.This was the first time for Elvira and Mara to see Oleden's true appearance, so as a last resort, Xilinya reintroduced his identity to them.

The doctor in the consulting room was a woman in her early forties. In the evening, she took Eve's temperature and asked a few simple questions before returning to a nearby residence to rest.The small single room was dimly lit, warm and quiet.Eve wanted the accompanying team members to go back to the apartment to rest, but they insisted on staying here.But there is only one bed here, and it cannot accommodate so many people to spend the night here.

"There's no need to keep so many people, it's enough for Xilinya to stay." Eve saw that she couldn't persuade everyone, so she had to settle for the next best thing, "You can't sleep on the chairs all night. There is only one bed here, and only one person can make do with it. Don't forget, you have class tomorrow, so you should have a good rest." Eve said seriously to them.

"She's right, it's enough to have me here." After Xilinya heard her words, she hardly hesitated - she immediately became a traitor.

"Put the chairs together, and one person can sleep, and I will stay." Elvira is still insisting.She still remembered that Eve helped her a lot when she was sick last year.

"It's very late now, you can't let Mara go back alone." Eve looked out the window, it was completely dark, "Go back, you can come back after class tomorrow."

"But……"

"I want to see Dandelion, remember to bring him with me tomorrow."

Elvira likes that cat very much.When she heard Eve mention dandelions, she smiled, and she compromised: "Okay, then I'll come over early tomorrow."

After Elvira and Mara left, only Eve and Xilinya were left in the room.

Xilinya looked a little happy.But she also understood that no matter how close she was with Eve, she couldn't share the same quilt with the patient—she stayed here mainly to take care of Eve.

The hospital bed was a single plank bed, which was not comfortable to lie on. Two girls slept on it, but it didn't look crowded.

"We sleep with our backs facing each other, so we don't affect each other," Eve said to her.

Xilinya lay on the outside, leaning against Eve and sleeping with her clothes on.This place is different from the hustle and bustle of the apartment. If no one talks, the night will be very quiet.She was wrapped in the coat that Eve wore when she came. Although the room was very warm, it made it difficult to sleep.Xilinya guessed that Eve was probably asleep—her breathing was very clear, sometimes with some noises.The small tattooed lamp stood by the bed, and it was still on at this time, emitting a slight hum that was usually difficult to detect.

Being needed by others is a happy thing.Xilinya looked at the wall above her head in a daze.In all fairness, she and Eve don't actually have a deep relationship. It's only been a year since they knew each other, but she has been busy for Eve from morning till now. As for the reason, she can't explain it herself.Xilinya likes to read novels. The protagonists in the stories are always anxious and sad because of the illness of their lovers or friends, as if they feel the same way. But when this happens to her, she doesn’t feel much—she doesn’t even have a wish for Eve to get better soon.

This thought surprised her.

Xilinya knew a long time ago that she was not a simple-minded person, but when she realized the softness she lacked in her heart again, she was still a little discouraged.

In the middle of the night, the patient suddenly started coughing so badly that both of them woke up.Eve slept for a long time during the day, and when she woke up at this time, she didn't really want to sleep anymore, so she sat on the pillow for a while.

Xilinya poured her a glass of water, and took out the licorice syrup prepared by the doctor during the day, and asked her to sip it.

"Go to sleep, I'm fine." Eve said hoarsely to her.

"I won't go to class tomorrow." The night was very quiet, and Xilinya's voice was very low, as if she was whispering.She took an apple out of the fruit basket, and sat on the edge of the bed, peeling it.

"How can that be?" Eve glared at her, but the gaze was not intimidating.

Xilinya smiled and shook her head.

The college courses are still too difficult for her, and she can't learn it anyway.After thinking of this, Xilinya also came to her senses—her father asked her to study here, perhaps because of various considerations, but not for learning knowledge.

Eve didn't try to persuade her anymore, Xilinya laughed secretly in her heart, she suddenly thought of Eluren - her mother would inadvertently show her doting on her daughter, if her daughter insisted on not wanting to do something, and this thing It's not important, so she will only persuade once at most.

The next morning, there was a strange visitor in the ward.It was a tall, stylishly dressed blonde woman with a faint smell of perfume and skin care products.

This person's name is Bai Xiuli, and according to her own introduction, she is from the eastern city, and the silver knight Taitrog is her husband.Her figure and demeanor have the charm of a mature woman—for some reason, Xilinya resisted her from the first time she met her.

"Tetrog heard that you were sick, so let me come and see you." Baishuli put a large bouquet of flowers on the chair beside her.

Eve was a little puzzled, she didn't understand why Bai Huli made a special trip to see her - she didn't know Taitrog well.

"He told me that he really didn't expect this 'Eve' to be so small. Originally, he thought that you could become a knight at such a young age, so you should have the size of his cousin." Baixiu Li sat across from her, and Xilinya poured her a cup of tea.Seeing that Eve didn't respond much to her words, she said again: "His cousin's name is Batina. I heard from Tetrog that the two of you seemed to have had a dispute, and you beat her at the time."

Eve opened her mouth wide.Only then did she recall who this "Batina" was.She and Xilinya looked at each other, both of them looked a little embarrassed at this moment.

"I know that you had some issues with Batina before." Bai Xiuli said with a smile, "But these are actually small problems. Although my husband's younger sister is tall and thick, she is not difficult to get along with."

Eve nodded.

"When you fell into the water that day, Tet Rog hadn't been able to match your name with your appearance. If he knew that it was you who fell into the water, he might have solved it in a different way." Baishuli said again, "You are probably wondering why I am here today."

"I'm a little curious." Eve smiled shyly when she was exposed.

"Tetrog has always been Feng En's subordinate, and your candidacy is written, it is also recommended by Captain Feng En." Bai Xiuli explained, "You will probably meet often in the future."

"So that's how it is..." Eve was stunned, "I don't know much about the internal affairs of Shengfengyue, and I may have to ask Your Excellency Taitrog to pay more attention in the future."

"It doesn't matter, I know his temper. If he doesn't do well, you can come to me to complain." Bai Xiuli said, "I live in the civilian area now, and the military area is too boring. On weekdays, as long as Tet Rog is on duty, I am usually there. You only need to go there and ask, and you can find me."

When talking with Bai Xiuli, the room often fell into a brief silence-the atmosphere was a bit serious, and they couldn't find much in common.

"If he hadn't been put in confinement, he would definitely come to see you in person today." Finally, Baishuli couldn't help but tell the story, even though Tet Rog had told her not to say it.

"Prisoned in confinement? Why?" Eve was curious about this.

"He beat up the person in charge of the warehouse, and his boss found out about it."

"Is it... for what happened to me that day?" Eve asked shyly.

"To be precise, it's because of the improper preservation of the equipment." Bai Xiuli shook her head and sighed: "This one in my family is always meddling and smart. He shouldn't be in charge of these matters, and the superiors don't let him Mess with me, but he just can't help it - if he can't talk to others, if he is in a hurry, he will beat them." At the end, she added, "Of course, he just doesn't dare to beat me now. .”

"Such people are actually not bad, they don't have much thought, and they do things simply and directly." Eve agreed.

"That's not necessarily the case. Some people are picky and calculating, and getting along with these people is at best a bit of a struggle; but Tet Rog—even if you have told him many times about many things, he still doesn't have a long memory... His heart is tired." Bai Xiuli shrugged, "He still doesn't want you to know about his detention—he feels ashamed now."

Hearing what she said, Eve couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Bai Xiuli is not very good at getting close to people. She felt that she had said enough and was about to leave, but before she left, she seemed to think of something again.

She moved closer to Eve and whispered to her, "When I came here just now, there was still someone standing there in the corridor. He was a handsome young man. He seemed to be someone you knew?"
