第三章:原石
"哥们儿,二也是一种态度,你想二还二不起来呢.我二,所以我自豪."我十分搞笑的冲着二人说到.
"看来你还真是二到家了,无时无刻不在犯二,真是没治了.小翠,看着这货就来气,这次哥帮你,咱们二人联手一起收拾这个二货."刘辉被我气到了,卷裤腿,挽袖子就准备动手.
"嗯,这家伙已经病入膏肓了,是得让他清醒清醒了.我准备将他绑起来,三天不给他饭吃,看看他还没有劲再犯二."刘翠跟着来了个火上浇油.
听到刘翠的话,我顿时吓了一跳,三天不让吃饭还不得饿死我呀.不行,我得跑,可不能让他们逮到.想到这里,我嗖的一声跳了起来,两腿一蹬就准备逃跑.
可还没来得及跑出去,就感觉自己身上凉丝丝的,低头一看,真是晕倒了,我把自己没穿衣服这事给忘了,这一下全走光了,丢人呀.我扑通一声,又躺了回去,再也不敢起来了.
刘翠刚才显然也是看到了我一丝不挂的样子,她呸了一声,转过头去,脸红红的.
"切,我以为你这种女汉子不会脸红呢,想不到你也有脸红的时候."我见刘翠的样子,竟然得意起来,开始口无遮拦地戏弄起她来.
"呦,你竟然长本事了,嘴巴变得挺利索.小翠,你先回去,让我来收拾他.他不是因为没穿衣服就得瑟吗,那我就让他一直不穿衣服.你去拿根绳子来,我就把他这个样子绑在门口的树上,让大家都来看看他不穿衣服是什么样子."刘辉见我竟敢戏弄他妹妹,顿时来气了.
我一听不好,一个骨碌爬起来,手忙脚乱的穿上衣服,从地上跳了起来.听到我穿好衣服下来了,刘翠开始发彪了,她从地上捡起根木棍,向着我就冲了过来,"看我怎么收拾你,明年的今天就是你的忌日."
我一见情况不好,撒腿就准备开溜,可还等跑出几步,就被一旁的刘辉一脚踹翻在地上.刘翠追上来,手里的棍子拼命的向我身上招呼.
可让我奇怪的是,今天的情况有些不一样,以往刘翠打我的时候,我感觉非常的疼,而今天我只听到棍子呼呼作响,但打到身上却感觉不到疼.再看刘翠挥舞棍子的样子,她已经使出了全力,真是奇了怪了,难道是我刚才的试验产生的结果?想了半天也没想通,只好先放下.
打了好一会,刘翠的气依旧没消,她还在打我.虽然不疼,但我还是得配合她,不然的话她不会停下手的.
"救命呀,救命呀,要打死人了."我惨叫着,尽量把声音装的像一些,免得被他们兄妹发现.
打了一会,刘翠也感觉累了,扔下手中的木棍,站在一旁呼呼喘气.我趁此机会,一个鲤鱼打挺,从地上蹦了起来,撒腿就跑.边跑我边喊:"不行了,不行了,我得赶紧走了.上班的时间快到了,如果去晚了,老板娘会扣钱的."
"切,你看到有哪个机械师还天天奔波在打工的路上的,怪不得你当不成机械师,该."刘翠见我跑了,恨恨地说到.
六年前,我的父母在一次异兽袭城事件中去世了,从此以后我便成了孤儿.他们生前都是小职员,没有给我留下任何的财产.当时家里虽然条件不好,但父母对我格外宠爱,让我渡过了快乐的童年,他们的离世给我带来了巨大的痛苦,好在有那么多善良的邻居和刘翠兄妹的帮助,我才磕磕拌拌生活了下来,如果没有他们说不定我早就被饿死了.
我性格刚强,并不想一直依赖别人,所以父母离世的第二年,我便开始利用课余时间打工赚钱养活自己.薪水虽然不多,但也够我维持生活了,这让我感觉很自豪.
这些年来,我接触了许多外界事务,对异兽也有了更多的了解.异兽袭城事件断断续续时有发生,伤害了许多的无辜百姓的生命,所以我立志要成为一名机械师,亲自杀死那些异兽,为自己的父母报仇,这就是我想成为机械师的主要原因.
今年是新纪元365年,我也是一名高一的学生了,我的机械师梦想依旧十分遥远.打工的钱并不能满足我购买纳米虫的需要.
"萧厉,如果你再晚来三分二十秒,今天你就迟到了."刚刚冲进打工的饭店门,老板娘就冲着我嚷了起来.这是一个对时间把握非常准确的人,每次计时都计到秒,一个正宗的强迫症患者.不过老板娘为人特别好,即使我真的迟到了,她也从来没扣过我的工钱.而我也是一个守信用的人,没有极特殊的原因,我也几乎没有迟到过.正因为老板娘为人好,所以我在她的饭店里一干就是三年.
"知道了老板娘,下次我一定早早来."我一边说一边快速换好工装,冲进洗刷间,开始刷盘子,洗碗.
这是一间小餐馆,由老板娘夫妻二人打理,虽然地方不大,但环境整洁,价格公道,口味较好而深大家欢迎,来此就餐的人们络绎不绝,生意还是非常不错的.
我正在洗刷间猛攻那堆积像小山一样的碗盘时,老板娘走了进来.
"小萧呀,我这有一块原石,也不知道这是什么属性的,留在我这也没什么用,你不是一直都想当机械师吗?就给你好了."老板娘笑着说到.
"老板娘,这哪好意思呀,这么贵重的东西我怎么能要你的呢,你还是自己收着吧."老板娘夫妻能收留我,让我在这里打工已经非常不容易了,我怎么再要她的东西呢.
老板娘却不容我拒绝,将石头塞进我的怀里就离开了.
"老板娘,谢谢你了,要不用这块石头当我这个月的工钱吧."
"给你的,你拿着就行了,啰嗦什么."老板娘头也不回的走了.
拿着这块原石,我心里暖暖的,看来世上还是好人多呀,我没有能力帮助老板娘夫妻,只有好好干活了.
凌晨两点半,我终于洗完了所有的碗,盘,拖着疲惫的身体回到家,躺在破旧的床上舒舒服服的睡了两个小时.五点多钟,我准时醒来,洗漱之后,简单吃了几口早饭就离开家门向学校赶去,我必须在六点之前赶到学校才行.
现在的高中已经跟以前不一样的,除了有文化课,像格斗,机械操作,枪械射击...野外生存等等都是必修课.好在我天赋极佳,虽然边打工边上学,但我的每门功课都是优,这让同学非常羡慕我.可惜我没有钱,买不到纳米虫,即使是功课再好也成不了机械师.
"怎么又无精打采的?是不是又在想买纳米虫的事?我都跟你说多少遍了,不要什么事都自己扛着,我帮你好不好?"刘翠是我的同班同学,对于我始终不接受她为我买纳米虫这件事,她非常想不通.
"我没什么呀,你不用为我担心,我能做好的."
"你就死倔死倔的吧."
见刘翠又纠结这件事,我赶忙拿出老板娘给的那块原石,转移她的注意力.
"你帮我看一下这块原石吗?"
Chapter Three: Protolith
"Dude, the second is also an attitude, you think the second is not the second. I'm two, so I'm proud." I told them very funny.
"It seems that you are really two at home. You are committing two at all times. It's incurable. Xiao Cui, look at the goods and get angry. This time my brother will help you. Let's work together to tidy up the second goods." Liu Hui was so angry with me that he rolled up his trousers legs and rolled up his sleeves.
"Well, this fellow is so ill that he has to wake him up. I'm going to tie him up and give him no food for three days to see if he's not ready to commit another one." Liu Cui followed to add fuel to the fire.
When I heard Liu Cui's words, I was startled. I couldn't starve to death without eating for three days. No, I have to run. I can't let them catch me. Thinking of this, I jumped up with a loud thud, ready to flee with a kick on both legs.
But before I had time to run out, I felt cold on my body. I looked down and fainted. I forgot that I was not dressed. It was a shame that all of them went away. With a flop, I lay back and never dared to get up again.
Liu Cui saw me naked just now. She whimpered, turned her head and blushed.
"Cut, I thought you would not blush like a woman. I didn't expect you to blush when you did." When I saw Liu Cui's appearance, I was so proud that I began to tease her without any hindrance.
"Well, you've grown up and your mouth has become sharp. Xiaocui, you go back first and let me clean him up. Didn't he have to wear clothes because he didn't wear clothes, so I let him never wear clothes. If you go and get a rope, I'll tie him like this to the tree at the door so that everyone can see what he looks like without clothes. Liu Hui got angry when he saw how dare I tease his sister.
As soon as I couldn't hear it, one of them got up, put on his clothes in a hurry and jumped up from the ground. Hearing that I was dressed down, Liu Cui began to feel puzzled. She picked up a stick from the ground and rushed towards me. "Look how I pack you up. Today is your birthday next year."
As soon as I saw the situation was not good, I was ready to run away, but when I had to run a few steps, I was kicked to the ground by Liu Hui who was beside me. Liu Cui came up and greeted me desperately with the stick in her hand.
But to my surprise, today's situation is somewhat different. In the past, when Liu Cui hit me, I felt very painful. Today, I only heard the whirring of sticks, but I didn't feel pain when I hit my body. Looking at the way Liu Cui waved her stick, it was strange that she had done her best. Was it the result of my experiment just now? Having thought for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, so I had to put it down first.
After a long fight, Liu Cui's breath still lingers, and she's still beating me. Although it doesn't hurt, I still have to cooperate with her, otherwise she won't stop.
"Help, help, kill people." I screamed, trying to make my voice look like some, lest my brother and sister find out.
After a while, Liu Cui felt tired too. She threw down her stick and stood aside to breathe. I took this opportunity, a carp beat up, jumped up from the ground, and ran. As I ran, I shouted, "No, no, I have to run away. It's almost time to go to work. If it's late, the landlady will deduct the money."
"Cut, you see which mechanic is still working on the road every day. No wonder you can't be a mechanic. That's right." Liu Cui saw me run away and said hatefully.
Six years ago, my parents died in a foreign animal attack on the city, and since then I have become an orphan. They were junior clerks and left me no property. At that time, although the family conditions were not good, but my parents especially spoiled me, so that I spent a happy childhood. Their death brought me great pain. Fortunately, with the help of so many good neighbors and Liu Cui's brother and sister, I was able to mix and live, if not for them, I might have been starved to death.
I have a strong personality and do not want to depend on others all the time, so the second year after my parents died, I began to use my spare time to earn money to support myself. The salary is not much, but it's enough for me to make a living, which makes me feel proud.
Over the years, I have been exposed to a lot of external affairs, and have a better understanding of foreign animals. The incident of foreign beasts attacking the city happened intermittently, which hurt the lives of many innocent people. So I decided to become a mechanic, to kill those foreign beasts and revenge my parents. This is the main reason why I want to become a mechanic.
This year is 365 years of the new era. I am also a senior one student. My dream of a mechanic is still very far away. The money for my part-time job is not enough for me to buy nanoworms.
"Xiao Li, if you come three or twenty seconds later, you will be late today." As soon as I rushed into the door of the hotel where I worked, the landlady shouted at me. This is a very accurate time holder, every time counting seconds, an authentic obsessive-compulsive disorder patient. But the landlady is very kind. Even if I'm really late, she never deducts my salary. And I'm also a trustworthy person, for no particular reason, and I'm hardly late. Because the landlady is very kind, I have been working in her restaurant for three years.
"Knowing the landlady, next time I must come early." As I spoke, I quickly changed my tooling, rushed into the washroom and began to wash dishes and dishes.
This is a small restaurant, managed by the owner and wife, although the place is not big, but the environment is clean, the price is fair, the taste is good and welcomed by everyone, people come here to eat endlessly, business is very good.
I was in the washroom attacking the hill-like dishes when the landlady came in.
"Xiao Xiao, I have a stone, and I don't know what it is. It's no use staying here. Don't you always want to be a mechanic? Just give it to you." The landlady said with a smile.
"What a shame, madam. How can I ask you for such a valuable thing? You should keep it yourself." It's very difficult for my wife and husband to take me in. How can I ask for her stuff again?
But the landlady refused to let me refuse. She stuffed the stone into my arms and left.
"Thank you, Madam, for not using this stone as my monthly wage."
"Here you are. Just hold it. Whatever you say." The landlady left without turning back.
With this stone, my heart is warm. It seems that there are many good people in the world. I have no ability to help the husband and wife of the landlady. I have to do a good job.
At 2:30 a.m., I finally washed all the dishes and bowls, dragged my tired body home, and slept comfortably in a dilapidated bed for two hours. At five o'clock, I woke up on time. After washing, I took a few bites of breakfast and left home for school. I had to get to school before six o'clock.
Now the high school has been different from before, except for cultural courses, such as fighting, mechanical operation, gun shooting... Field survival and so on are compulsory courses. Fortunately, my talent is excellent. Although I work and go to school, I am excellent in every subject, which makes my classmates envy me very much. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to buy nanoworms, even if my homework is good, I can't be a mechanic.
"Why are you listless? Are you thinking about buying nanoworms again? How many times have I told you not to carry everything on your own. Can I help you? Liu Cui is a classmate of mine. She can't understand why I never accept her buying nanoworms for me.
"I'm nothing. You don't have to worry about me. I can do it well."
"You are stubborn and stubborn."
Seeing Liu Cui's entanglement again, I quickly took out the original stone given by the landlady and diverted her attention.
"Will you look at this stone for me?"
