Mysterious journey

bibo lake

Blue water, green mountains, yellow stones, and a few scattered white birds slowly cruising on the lake. A gust of cool wind blew over, and countless ripples suddenly appeared on the light blue lake surface, and the reflected mountains were slightly blurred.

A few boys followed the yellow gravel river beach and quickly found a good spot to settle down, and began to take out tools and materials from their bags.

Garen looked over to the girls. Finestine and the other girls were standing under the shade of the trees. This dazzling beautiful girl's white waist dress was rising slightly in the breeze, and her long pale golden hair was tied to the left side. When it hangs down, it looks like a princess in an opera. Her skin was white and crystal clear, seemingly glowing with a shimmer, and her eyes were cold and arrogant, like the purest sapphires.

Looking back, Garen looked at himself again. He, Calledo, Fein, and Czech were all people who didn't know how to dress up. They were all in a confusing mix of khaki, grey, white, black, and... They don't know how to match styles, and the quality of their clothes is not high. A group of people is almost like a motley crew. Compared with the people over there, the way I dress here seems to be nothing at first, but now the difference is obvious when I compare it.

"That girl's name is Finestine. She was invited by Finn's friend to hang out with her. She seems to have a good temperament," Kaledo whispered as he squatted down to build a campfire frame.

"Tsk tsk. I've never seen anyone with such aura even in school." Czech added in a low voice, "If I had a girlfriend like this, I would be invincible."

"That guy is my cousin's friend, and I don't know him either. Just take it easy." Finn added. "I didn't expect my cousin to bring her over. Originally, I just asked her to come over by herself and her friends." He shrugged.

Garen smiled, squatted down, and began to sort out the dirty firewood. Compared with the pure, clean and spotless Finestine over there, they were dealing with dirty stones and wood, and they looked like people from two different worlds.

"Would you like to play cards?" Caledo came over from the side. The cards he was talking about were actually a game that ordinary children loved most when they were young. Fold the paper into rectangular playing cards and mark them with eyes of different sizes. Then the rules are similar to poker.

Garen and Czech Finn saw him take out a pair of tattered yellow playing cards, and they immediately became interested. "Come on, what do you want to lose?" "You lose barbecue and grilled fish! One piece at a time."

Several people squatted on the ground in a circle and began to scatter cards on a white stone. After a while, I was fascinated by the game.

Finestine stood in the shade of a tree and watched from a distance as several boys on the river beach played simple cards among the dirty mud and stones. Although there is no such thing as discrimination in the jewel-like eyes, they unnaturally look down on themselves from a higher level. She and the students in this small city were in completely different circles.

She was originally just passing through this city, and at the invitation of her classmates and good friends, they went out together to relax.

A girl with short red hair on the side came over and stood with her watching the boys busy. "That Finn is my cousin, a long-distance relationship. What the students here like most is to build a big bonfire and have barbecues at night. Are you interested? I'll ask them to add you later."

"No, it's so dirty." Finestine frowned slightly. "Just come here to relax and let me be alone for a while."

Garen played cards with them for a while, and noticed that these people's eyes were unconsciously moving towards the girls, and he suddenly felt a little funny. He moved very lightly and discreetly when drawing the cards, and he made an extra model, and then overlapped it on the other card. I glanced at the other three people, but no one noticed.

This was repeated several times, and suddenly the card in his hand flicked. "Sorry, I won."

"Ah?" Several people were stunned for a moment, all showing expressions of doubt and surprise.

Garen smiled and put the cards away in a slow motion. Seeing the speechless expressions of his three friends, he inexplicably remembered Garen from before.

Before he traveled through time, whenever Garen had an argument with his sister, he would always be completely knocked to the ground by her sister, and he would be beaten severely without the ability to fight back. My younger sister Ying'er, who is very strong in archery, martial arts and motor skills, is not as weak as she looks, and can punch to the flesh. From the time his parents got married, when he was three years old, he was bullied by his two-year-old sister.

When it comes to playing cards or doing anything else, Galen used to have no confidence and no idea how to adapt, so he failed everywhere. He became less and less confident and his spirit became weaker and weaker. And a big reason why I take the initiative to exercise and practice fighting is because I can't beat my sister.

When he recalled the memory, even in junior high school before entering high school, he was beaten to tears by his sister once, and Garen's smiling face twitched unconsciously.

"It's not an ordinary shame to be beaten to tears by my own sister when I'm over ten years old. And I'm hiding in my room alone and crying secretly. No wonder the relationship between brother and sister is so weak." Garen suddenly regretted having traveled through time in this body.

*********

collapse!

The black feathered arrow suddenly flew out from the bowstring and was firmly nailed to the edge of the red heart on the far target.

Ying'er, dressed in a pure white archery uniform, slowly lowered her long bow and exhaled softly. "The situation is still unstable."

"It's already very good, such a long distance." A blue-haired girl standing on the side said calmly, "If you can continue to maintain this state, I will hand over the position of deputy director of the Archery Department to you."

"Thank you, senior, for your support!" Ying'er quickly bowed her head respectfully in response.

The student positions at St. Orioles College are different from other ordinary schools. Senior student positions even have the right to participate in the school's political affairs and have certain rights over major school affairs. Not just any student leaders.

The blue-haired girl nodded: "In addition, apart from this, I have already helped you deal with the matter of beating someone up last time. In the future, you should try to do less of such things, at least don't hurt yourself too much, so deal with it this way It’s very troublesome.”

"Thank you very much, Minister. I will restrain myself." Ying'er lowered her head and admitted her mistake again. She knew that the director of the Archery Department had always had great expectations for her, and he kept helping her deal with trivial matters. She is a person who takes soft things rather than hard words, so she has always felt very guilty towards the minister. If it weren't for the fight, she would have become the deputy director of the Archery Department by now.

But the last time she beat someone, it was because of

The blue-haired girl nodded when she heard the answer, and left to give instructions to other members.

Ying'er continued to practice alone, but after only a few minutes, a girl with short brown hair ran in, came to her side and whispered a few words.

Ying'er's expression suddenly changed. "No matter how useless he is, he is still my brother! Anyone who dares to touch him will not give me face! Let's go!" She put down her long bow and rushed out of the dojo in a furious manner wearing her kyudo uniform. Several heroic girls around him also rushed out together, and the scene was similar to that of a mafia gangster.

The blue-haired girl not far away saw it and shook her head speechlessly. "How many times has this happened? Is this guy a brother-controller? Xiaoling gets very angry every time something like this happens. Just keep an eye on her so that nothing happens. Ying'er now makes our department the most promising in the competition. The candidate for the prize, don’t let her hit the person too hard, lest it affect your qualifications.”

A petite red-haired girl next to her nodded and trotted out the door without saying a word.

The rest of the team members are accustomed to it, so they can practice as they should. Only some people shook their heads and smiled. In front of family members and elders, he appears to be well-behaved and sensible, but in front of ordinary strangers, he appears to be violent and terrifying. Ying'er's personality is already well known to everyone in the department.

***************

The sky was clear and light blue, with only wisps of clouds hanging on the edge like lines.

Gallon sat on a white stone, slowly turning a bunch of roasted lean meat in his hand. The spicy and numb smell slowly came out as the flames grilled. There are many small bubbles of oil on the surface of the golden barbecue.

He put down the barbecue on the shelf and looked at the other people. They were all busy sprinkling seasonings on their own barbecue and had no time to pay attention to this. He stood up and walked to the lake behind. He squatted down, held a cup of water in his hands, wiped it on his face, and washed away the smoke on his face a few times.

The cold lake water splashed on his face, and his spirit was stimulated.

Turning around, I saw that several girls had already walked far away and were standing on a river beach. They were gathering together to spread out a clean white cloth and put various food and drink materials on it.

He breathed out. "So many days have passed in the blink of an eye." He glanced at the attributes below his field of vision.

Agility and physical fitness each increased by 0.01, which was the result of his own physical training these days. The potential is still 89%.

"It's still 11% short. It depends on whether Finn's jewelry has an effect or not. If it doesn't work, you have to find another way. There are too few jewelry with potential. I don't know the origin of the black pearl that the etiquette teacher took out that day. It can actually absorb a full percentage of its potential at once."

A gust of cool wind blew over, and Garen felt a chill on his back. Feeling a little cold, he got up and returned to the bonfire.

"Going down the river from the right is the paper mill on the outskirts of the city. My uncle works there. Do you want to visit?" Caledo pointed to the river on the right side of the lake.

"What's there to see in the paper mill?" Finn was about to speak when suddenly there was a scream from afar. The girl seemed to have encountered something frightening, and her voice floated over from afar.

Several people quickly stood up and looked into the distance. Two of the three girls over there had fallen to the ground and kept shrinking back. Another girl ran far away and did not dare to approach them. Finestine was one of those who fell.

"Something happened, go over and take a look!" Garen was the first to react, and several boys quickly dropped the barbecue and rushed over.

On the dark yellow river beach, among the gravel, a small black and purple snake raised its head high, spitting out its red core and making a hissing sound. The two girls fell to the ground respectively, shrinking back in fear. One had a dark red bloody mouth on her calf.
