Dawn of a New Era

Hey, Chen Yuwei didn't come to school this semester, so I don't know what happened to my eldest brother and sister-in-law in Dongning? During dinner, Chen Dawei suddenly mentioned the matter of his uncle's family and sighed.

Chen Shouyi remained silent while eating.

Do you want to go back to Dongning? Mother Chen paused when she heard the words, and said.

With this plan, I'm not at ease if I don't go back to Dongning! Chen Dawei said with a sigh.

The army is in chaos right now, so I don't know what's going on there? Mother Chen said with a worried expression on her face.

Dad, Mom, let me go! Chen Shouyi knew that he could no longer be silent, swallowed his food, and said, Anyway, I should be fine these few days!

Chen Dawei hesitated for a while, thinking about the strength of his son's great martial artist, he could feel at ease, nodded, and said: Alright, then you go there and pay attention to safety when the time comes, if Dongning is too messy, Just take the uncle's family over, anyway, the house at home is big enough to live in.

Brother, I'm going too! Chen Xingyue said quickly, she had the best relationship with her cousin, and her uncle and aunt loved her the most, unlike Chen Shouyi, who was like a picked child since childhood.

Before Chen Shouyi could refuse, Chen's mother reprimanded him, What are you going to do, just stay at home for me.

Oh! Chen Xingyue replied with a frustrated face.

I sighed secretly in my heart, if I don't become a warrior, I will have no human rights at home!

In the past, my mother always reprimanded my brother, but since my brother became a warrior, the feng shui has changed, and I started to replace him.

When can I become a warrior?

Chen Xingyue couldn't help but glanced at Chen Shouyi who was eating, feeling that his wrist was getting more and more sore.

...

After dinner, Chen Shouyi returned to the bedroom, sat down on the bed, and thought to himself.

According to the last time I came back, Dongning's surrounding environment is no better than Hedong City, or even worse. It happens to be connected to the territory of the God of Hunting. I don't know what the situation is now!

Now that the communication is interrupted, and some bad news is also deliberately blocked, it can be said that outside Hedong City, he has no idea of ​​the outside situation at all.

However, with my own strength, as long as I don't encounter particularly powerful beings and be careful, there shouldn't be any danger. He thought to himself.

He sat for a while, released Shell Girl from the briefcase, teased her for a while, then picked up the sword and started practicing.

...

Early the next morning, Chen Shouyi felt that his body had completely recovered, his whole body was full of vitality and strength, and he no longer felt weak at all.

He practiced the thirty-six horizontal strokes a few times, took a shower, and started to pack his luggage.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up. Apart from weapons and money, there are various documents and a change of clothes. This trip to Dongning will take at least one day to go back and forth. possible.

...

Come back early and be safe. Mother Chen urged.

Don't worry, parents still have Xingyue, I'm leaving! Chen Shouyi said, then hung the briefcase and sword on the handlebar and rolled out the bicycle.

The train station is still far away, so he can only go there by bicycle.

Although buses have been opened on some major routes in Hedong City, of course there are also steam buses leading to the railway station in the safe area, but not only the number of trains is limited every day, but if you are unlucky, you often have to wait for a long time, and the speed is not as good as he rides a bicycle quick.

...

Since the last barbarian invasion, the downtown area of ​​Hedong has become much more depressed.

Riding all the way, there are few pedestrians on the street, and almost all the shops on both sides are closed.

The glass in many office buildings has been broken, and no one has repaired it at all.

At a glance, the entire urban area is a dilapidated scene, which is no longer as glamorous as before, giving people a sense of depression.

About an hour later, after Chen Shouyi got off the train at the train station, he put the car in the parking lot and locked it.

The management fee is two dollars.

An older administrator with a red cuff came over and said, Five yuan for the night!

Chen Shouyi took out his wallet and took out a piece of ten yuan: How many days do you want to stop?

When the time comes, look at the number of days when you come back, and add two dollars a day. The administrator said.

Row!

Chen Shouyi handed over the money, took the change, and walked into the ticket office of the station. Although it was only seven o'clock in the morning, there were already people everywhere. Chen Shouyi waited in a long line before it was his turn:

One piece in Dongning City!

Dongning, Dongning is no longer available? The young conductor said without raising his head.

It doesn't work! Why doesn't it work? Chen Shouyi's heart skipped a beat and he asked hastily.

This is a notice from above, how do I know... The conductor raised his head impatiently, and when he saw Chen Shouyi's handsome face, he lowered his tone a few degrees, and an amiable smile appeared on his impatient face, and said with a smile : Excuse me, sir, what other services do you need?

Asking the conductor couldn't find anything, Chen Shouyi hesitated for a moment, and asked the next best thing: Then is there a station closer to Dongning?

Please wait a moment, I will check, there are still tickets at Dongxing Station!

Then give me one! Chen Shouyi said.

Hard seat, 10:30, 85 yuan!

This price was even more expensive than the original high-speed rail. After paying, Chen Shouyi walked out of the ticket hall with heavy steps, his face a little dignified.

The Dongning Railway is no longer accessible. Could it be that it has fallen there?

He couldn't help but worry about the situation of his uncle's family.

...

It was still early before boarding time, so Chen Shouyi walked out of the station, ready to find a place to have breakfast first.

The train station has always been a mess of dragons and snakes, especially now that most people live in poverty, and the law and order has deteriorated.

A handsome young man with long hair brushed past him.

Chen Shouyi's face turned cold, and he quickly grabbed his wrist:

It hurts, it hurts, don't, don't, let go... buddy, I was wrong! The long-haired young man turned pale, and his body arched in pain, feeling that the hand holding his wrist was like an iron hoop, and it was about to be crushed. The other party seemed to pinch it, and knew in his heart that he had encountered a hard stubble.

Chen Shouyi reached out to take his wallet back from his hand, and then let go.

Brother, you see that you have nothing to lose...

Chen Shouyi said coldly, Get out!

The long-haired young man immediately fled despondently, without daring to speak harshly at all. Although the other party looked young, but with an indifferent expression, even an old man like him felt terrified. This kind of person definitely killed people.

Chen Shouyi watched the thief leave, put his wallet back into his trouser pocket, and walked quickly to the breakfast shop outside.

...

laugh……

An old-fashioned steam train, exhaling white gas, like a giant steel beast, slowly drove into the platform, the speed became slower and slower, and finally stopped slowly.

After the doors opened, a group of people lined up to board the train one by one.

Please show your ID! A marshal looked at the sword in a young man's hand and said.

Chen Shouyi took out the warrior certificate, and after the policeman took it, he took a closer look, saluted immediately, and returned the certificate.

The interior of the carriage was sparse, and half of the passengers could not reach it. There was a strange and indescribable smell inside. I looked down at the metal pattern floor that was about to be smoothed under my feet.

This green leather train is definitely older than him.

He found a seat, put the backpack containing the bow and arrows and clothes on the luggage rack, and sat down with the briefcase in his arms.

The two young girls who were chatting raised their heads and glanced at him when they heard the movement, their faces flushed slightly, and their voices became much quieter.

The younger of the two is about the age of Chen Xingyue, and the older is twenty-one or twenty years old. The two look alike, so they should be two sisters.

Chen Shouyi noticed that his sister was carrying a sword with calluses on her palms. She was obviously either a martial artist apprentice or a martial artist. Of course, if she didn't have this status, she wouldn't be able to carry a sword on the train.

Are you also a martial arts student? The older sister, who was obviously much bolder, asked aloud.

Uh, yes! Chen Shouyi said, Where are you going?

Dongxing, handsome guy, how about you?

I'm going to Dongxing too!

Little brother, are you also from Dongxing? The younger sister suddenly asked softly, Are you here to participate in the martial artist assessment like my older sister?

Ah, no! I live in Hedong. I'm going to Dongxing to do some business. Have you passed the examination? Chen Shouyi replied politely.

Of course, my sister is a genius. She passed it once, which is very good. The younger sister said proudly, obviously admiring her.

Look at other people's sisters!

Chen Shouyi was a little envious, unlike his own sister, who spent all day thinking about seeing his brother being unlucky and being scolded.

That's really amazing! Chen Shouyi echoed without sincerity.

Don't listen to her nonsense. There are so many geniuses in this world. I heard from those who have taken the exam before that the exam has relaxed the requirements and made it much easier. The pass rate has reached 60%. The face said blushingly.

At this moment, Chen Shouyi's heart moved, and he suddenly asked, Do you know what happened in Dongning?

Dongning and Dongxing are very close, living next to each other, only forty to fifty kilometers apart.

Dongning! My sister came back to her senses: It's messed up there, I heard there are cultists everywhere, even the railway tracks and roads have been ripped off by those people!

Isn't the army in charge? Chen Shouyi asked doubtfully.

I heard that there were several fights, but they all quit the urban area in the end. My sister said.

Chen Shouyi was so distraught when he heard it that he could force the army to withdraw. It was obvious that Dongning had completely fallen.

He clenched his fist hard, then loosened it slightly.

Woo...

At this time, a long siren sounded, and the train gradually started to move.

Chen Shouyi chatted with the two girls for a while, then stopped talking and looked out the window, the scenery slowly receding.

In the distance is a continuous industrial area, with countless chimneys standing in forests, spewing billowing smoke, and the trees on the side of the road are covered with a layer of gray-black dust, and the original green color can hardly be seen.

Under the thick mist, several swallows were chasing each other and flying across the air.

Chen Shouyi withdrew his gaze and felt his mood gradually calm down. No matter how dangerous Dongning was, since he was here, he still had to go there, at least to make sure whether the uncle's family was alive or dead.

Do you need a hot boxed lunch, do you need a freshly baked boxed lunch? The train salesman pushed the trolley, yelling, and walked over.

What lunch box? Chen Shouyi called to stop the cart. The old-fashioned train was very slow, and it took at least four hours to get to Dongxing Station. By then, it was two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already past the meal time.

Chicken leg rice, duck leg rice, pork rib rice, potato sirloin rice, which one do you want?

Potato beef brisket and rice! Give me six boxes! Chen Shouyi glanced at the two sisters who were facing each other with surprised faces, and continued, No, eight boxes, how much?

A total of four hundred and eighty yuan!

It's really expensive, and it's already caught up with the prices in the downtown area of ​​​​Hedong.

Give me three more bottles of water!

A total of four hundred and ninety-five yuan!

After Chen Shouyi paid, the salesperson put the lunch boxes one by one on the small table in front. The lunch box was made of metal with a square cover on it, and it was no longer the disposable lunch box used to be.

I didn't ask what you like to eat. I wonder if it suits your taste? Chen Shouyi handed over two boxes of lunch and two bottles of water.

The two sisters said ah, and their faces turned red:

We brought snacks. My sister said.

I bought it for you anyway, so you can't throw it away, Chen Shouyi advised.

OK, thanks!

thanks!

The two sisters thanked each other, and the elder sister was generous.

The younger sister's voice was like a mosquito.

Chen Shouyi didn't care about them and concentrated on eating. He finished one box in a minute or two, then the second box, the third box...the sixth box.

Wait for Chen Shouyi to unscrew the mineral water bottle and finish drinking the water.

The two sisters were still eating in small bites, and exchanged opinions quietly with their eyes from time to time.

At this moment, the two sisters were stunned.

Really ate it all!

eaten!

Although they knew that the boxed lunch that the person bought must be for eating, they didn't expect to eat it all, and they ate it so fast, as if they could still eat a few more boxes.

I really don't know how his stomach can hold so much.

As the train moved forward slowly, Chen Shouyi gently opened the zipper of his briefcase, glanced at Shell girl who was sleeping soundly, and began to close his eyes to rest, and soon fell asleep.

...

Hello, passengers! The stop ahead is Dongxing East Station. If there are passengers who want to get off the bus, please pack your luggage in advance and get ready to get off the bus.

A flight attendant walked into the car, said loudly as he walked, and soon went to another car.

Chen Shouyi opened his eyes and glanced at the newly bought watch.

It was almost three o'clock.

He continued to sit for more than ten minutes, the car began to stop slowly, he took the luggage, and followed the two sisters out of the train.

...

Then goodbye! Walking out of the train station, Chen Shouyi waved goodbye.

The two sisters looked at Chen Shouyi's disappearing figure, and the younger sister suddenly said, He must be stronger than you.

Why? My sister was a little unconvinced.

He eats more than you, so he must be better than you, and he was not surprised when I told you that you passed the martial artist test! the younger sister analyzed.

It seems so. Well, I haven't asked his name yet, but since I'm in Hedong City, I should still meet him in the future.

PS: I will try to make two chapters in the future.
