On the Seven Towers

Chapter 7: Confrontation in the Ruins

"Are you sure that man is dead? Did I really kill him?" Li Jia asked, holding the bloody knife tightly in his hand.

"Really, really. I killed a killer. You are acting in self-defense. You have said it many times yourself." Chen Hansheng said while looking around.

The side door of the school leads to a forest path. Usually, not many people walk on it, and at this time in the morning, there are even fewer people. Li Jia felt that the surrounding scene was very familiar, but the cracks on the road and the collapsed brick walls reminded him that the world had changed.

"Why do you say it so easily? That's a human life!"

"What else can we do? Perform a ritual for him? Let's think about how to save our own lives first. If there are only two of us here, hehe..." Lao Chen laughed, but there was no smile in it.

"No one?" Li Jia couldn't care about the previous things at this time, so he had to look around with Lao Chen. The most urgent thing now is to find someone, an earthling like them. The power of two people was too small. He really couldn't imagine how he and the uncle could survive in a completely unfamiliar world.

Li Jia was thinking wildly, wondering whether he should sell buns or make glass to survive, and what the child would look like if he was taken over by a red-haired, purple-eyed girl. Suddenly, he heard the uncle's roar: "Someone!!"

Li Jia felt that the uncle's voice was like a huge bell, which shocked him back to the real world. He looked in the direction the uncle pointed and saw a figure swaying in the dormitory area.

An old dormitory from the 1970s collapsed without being hit by the previous impact. The front facade of the house almost completely collapsed, but the back wall and side walls stood there trembling like a rusty dagger. At this time, many students had spontaneously organized themselves on the ruins to rescue the buried classmates. However, a few quarrels and scolding broke the dull and stagnant air, and it seemed that someone had a conflict.

"It's Ji Yijun! I'm the counselor of the class! What's wrong with these guys?" Li Jia looked at them from a distance, and hurriedly rushed over there holding the bloody kitchen knife.

"Hey! Put down the kitchen knife!" Lao Chen chased him and shouted.

——————————————————————————

"Tell me! How come a good person is gone?"

"It's all your fault! You're just an executioner!"

Several students covered in dust and wounded stood on a pile of stones, shouting loudly around Ji Yijun.

Ji Yijun is a freshman, with a handsome face, not inferior to those idol stars, and a body with tight muscles and smooth lines because of martial arts. But at this moment, his fair face has turned red, his well-defined nose is breathing heavily, and a small scar at the corner of his eyebrow is twisted. When he heard the questions of these "ungrateful" guys, he felt that his chest was filled with anger and he was about to explode. He looked around, sweeping his eyes over the students who were questioning him, like a young lion who had to remember his prey one by one.

"Old Four told me a joke earlier to reassure me. In the blink of an eye..." A boy wearing glasses squatted beside a corpse with a bloody face, buried his head in his arms, and sobbed softly.

Ji Yijun glanced at him impatiently, and the little sympathy in his heart disappeared. This was not his fault, why did these people keep pestering him? He waved his hand to open the fingers pointing at him in front of him, and said again in a vicious tone: "I repeat, I just tried my best to save people, and I can't do anything if the wall collapses."

"If you hadn't been a hero and insisted on moving that stone pillar, how could it collapse. We all said we had to take it slowly." A tall boy stepped forward and was about to grab Ji Yijun's collar, but he easily dodged it. Ji Yijun grabbed the other person's collar with his backhand, and then raised his arm and pushed him, and the other person flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. Ji Yijun did not step forward, but pointed at the boy who fell to the ground and shouted, "Bullshit, he is bleeding all the time, how can you take it slow?" Then he pointed at the people around him and said, "If I hadn't acted quickly, many of you would still be buried under the rocks."

This is also true. When half of the dormitory building collapsed, Ji Yijun was going out to fetch water. When he saw the house collapsed, he ignored the danger and called on everyone to save people. Speaking of which, many people here also received his help. But his furious tone and the action of throwing people flying were too much, and the students immediately became agitated. Several students came forward to surround Ji Yijun. They all stood up for the one lying on the ground, but after a few harsh words, the quarrel quickly turned into a shoving match.

"You guys still want to fight with me?" Ji Yijun blocked the attacking hands and feet in two or three moves. He took a step back, rolled up his sleeves, posed, and shouted, "Come at me if you dare!" The people around him were not to be outdone, and they all wanted to teach Ji Yijun a lesson. On the ruins under the scorching sun, an inappropriate fight was about to begin.

"No fighting!"

At this moment, a loud female voice interrupted. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out that a girl ran over from the place where the wounded were settled. Ji Yijun only took a glance and his eyes never left her until she jumped lightly onto the pile of stones and stood in front of everyone.

This girl gave him a very special feeling. Although in terms of appearance, she must be considered good-looking, with straight eyebrows, big eyes, and a straight nose. But what caught Ji Yijun's attention was the heroic spirit she exuded. No, it's no longer heroic, it's simply a kind of spirit of toughness.

Ji Yijun had never thought of using the word capable to describe a beautiful girl, but at this moment, he saw her wearing a short pigtail, a pair of dusty jeans, and rolling up the sleeves of her shirt. He stood up, still holding a shovel, and suddenly felt that there were no other more suitable words.

She is also a practitioner! Ji Yijun quickly noticed this from her behavior and gait. This feeling of finding someone of the same kind made him feel a little better. But these good feelings disappeared after a few seconds, because what the girl said made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

"Have you grown men been shocked into idiots? There are so many classmates waiting for us to rescue, but you have time to fight here? If you have too much strength, you will have to move rocks. After the disaster relief is over, even if you have lost your mind, No one cares about you even if you beat me up." The girl first scolded all the boys here who were ready to act, and then looked at Ji Yijun, "Aren't you bad at kung fu? Are you going to bully people at the disaster relief site when you are taught kung fu? ?”

Ji Yijun suddenly felt that he was in the wrong, but he never gave up: "I don't practice to bully others, who wants you to mind your own business!" Moreover, his feet and hands refused to give an inch, and he still looked tense. .

When the girl saw that Ji Yijun and the other boys didn't buy into her, she felt annoyed, and said to the others: "None of you are his match, and there's no chance of us being together." The others looked at her doubtfully.

She didn't explain and walked directly to Ji Yijun. She slammed the shovel in her hand on the ground and said, "If you really want to hit me, I'll wait for you after the disaster relief is over!" During the ups and downs, the head of her old shovel was deeply inserted into the ground. In a block of cement. As she pulled it out with ease, the cement block split into two parts cleanly.

"Fight with you?" Ji Yijun realized that he had underestimated this girl just now. She was not so smart, but she was obviously fierce. In his opinion, fighting with a girl is a shameful thing, and if he loses, he will be even more shameless in public. He put away his posture and snorted: "No time."

He wanted to leave on his own, but the people around him refused to let him go, insisting that he apologize first. While the two sides were still arguing, Li Jia and Chen Hansheng ran over.

"counselor?"

"Senior?"

Coincidentally, many people on the ruins happened to know Li Jia. Ji Yijun and several boys were in his class. The girl's name is Ye Zi, a junior from the same college.

"Ye Zi? What's going on?" Li Jia had already noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

After listening to Ye Zi's explanation of the cause and effect, Li Jia realized that this was a big trouble and had to be solved immediately.

But just when he was still hesitant, Ye Zi loudly said to the others, "Look, your counselor comrade is here, let him explain this truth to you!"

With all the eyes looking at him, Li Jia had no choice but to say: "Let me take a look at the deceased classmate first."

Li Jia walked to the fourth child who was no longer breathing. The fourth child looked miserable. His head was deformed by the falling stone wall, which made Li Jia's hands and feet feel weak. But he knew in his heart that this was no time to show weakness. He took off his shirt and covered the fourth child's head and face. Then he looked at everyone and said, "You must not want to see everyone fighting here, right?"

At this time, not only Ji Yijun, but other boys also looked ashamed.

Li Jia said sincerely: "I can understand that everyone is afraid when a disaster occurs suddenly. Some classmates died in the disaster, and everyone is sad, and I can understand it better. But everyone has not yet been able to rest their eyes on the dead classmates, and the living classmates have not yet been rescued. "

Li Jia looked at Ji Yijun's eyes full of dissatisfaction, put his hands on his shoulders, and said to everyone: "We are not professionals, and no one can guarantee that all actions are the best choice. But, can we not do it? We Can you wait for professional rescue? No! You and Ji Yijun have the same choice."

Chen Hansheng also interjected: "You are all top students. I am a rough person and I can't explain the truth. But I want you to see these hands." He grabbed Ji Yijun's hand and saw that his hands were bruised in many places, and his fingertips were bruised. All were stained with blood. "Does he owe anyone for working so hard? Can you bear to blame him for not doing well? God cannot let him bear the debt."

When Ji Yijun heard this, he suddenly felt the urge to cry. He lowered his head and broke away from Chen Hansheng's hand, picked up a shovel on the ground, walked to a ruins in silence, and dug hard. His figure looked lonely and small among the ruins. But soon, other people also started to move. They didn't know whether they were moved by Li Jia's words or Ji Yijun's behavior. Some picked up shovels or sticks, and some started to carry stones and continue to rescue the disaster.

The tall man who was pushed down by Ji Yijun before hesitated for a moment and walked over to attack Ji Yijun. He stretched out his hand to hold the stone lifted by Ji Yijun. Ji Yijun pulled a few times and finally let go. Although the two didn't speak to each other, one moved and the other handed, and they gradually developed a tacit understanding.

"Senior, I knew you could do it! It's much more effective than me scolding them." Ye Zi patted Li Jia's shoulder like a leading comrade and encouraged him with a smile.

Li Jia glanced at Ye Zi, who was dirty but energetic, and sighed: "You look here first, I have to go to the school leader to report the emergency."

"What's the matter? You seem very nervous?"

I've already killed someone, how can I not be nervous? Li Jia thought to himself, but hesitantly said: "This... This matter has a great impact on people's hearts, it's better not to spread it."

"Senior, senior! Tell me quickly!" How could Ye Zi let him go like this? He grabbed his arm and shook him, "I'll keep it a secret!"

Li Jia's face turned red when Ye Zi pulled him, and it burned all the way to his ears. Fortunately, no one could see his face. "Okay... You have to be mentally prepared. The current situation is that we seem to... maybe... travel through time."
