Sentinel to Special Operations Team

calling from behind.

Sheng Yutong quickened her pace, her back actually looked a little embarrassed.

It's been a long time since we saw each other, Shi Wei thought.

She couldn't help but think of the past.

Back in time to seven years ago, on the path leading to Tianshu Tower, a jeep galloped across the road, setting off waves of yellow sand.Shi Wei sat in the passenger seat, ate a mouthful of sand, but couldn't say anything.The sentinel driving the car was Yang Naining, deputy of the combat command department in the same class as Shi Wei.The two of them went out this time to select a new class of students suitable for Tianshu Pagoda School.

The car came to a bend, Yang Naining turned the steering wheel violently, and drifted around the bend.She showed off: "Shi Wei, what do you think of my driving skills?"

"It's okay." Shi Wei replied briefly.

"How good is it?"

"I almost spit in your face."

Shi Wei put on a pair of combat boots on the front windshield, and kept spinning a simulated pistol.She squinted her eyes and looked out the window through the hot sun.A small figure stood on the hillside in the distance, his head turned with the vehicle Shi Wei was in, and was left far behind by the car.

"Where is that above?" Shi Wei asked suddenly.

"The Sheng family's fortress looks close, but it actually takes two hours to walk around. The person we are looking for is right here."

Shi Wei looked out of the window at the loess high slope, which was similar with little difference, and asked casually: "Sheng Family Fortress, how many people in our tower school came from the Sheng Family Fortress?"

"If I'm still a person, then I came out of the Sheng family's fortress. Although my surname is Yang, not Sheng," Yang Naining said, "I fled to the Sheng family's fortress with my parents in the [-]th year of the plague. I belong to the Sheng family. Take me in and let me finish my junior school."

When Shi Wei heard it, she turned her head: "So, you may still know the person we are looking for today?"

"Acquaintance means acquaintance, but not familiar with each other." Yang Naining said.

"Do you have someone you don't know?"

"Even Nuwa created humans, and not everyone knows them all. I don't believe that Nuwa can still remember what the mud ideas she threw out looked like," Yang Naining said. alright."

Shi Wei smiled, "If you open your mouth, everyone is good. This is the first time I hear you being so vague."

"Squad leader, that's why you don't understand. I call it 'more timid when you are close to the hometown'. It's very well said. I'm afraid you have a big psychological gap. Who have you never seen? If you don't speak well, I'm afraid you have met someone. , I am no longer a human being.”

Shi Wei just laughed.

"I can't tell if you are a good person. But squad leader, you are right to come to Shengjia Fortress today. Shengjia Fortress, every few days of the year, you have to 'welcome the gods'. Shengjia Fortress has special activities. You can see it elsewhere." arrive."

"Then if we go there, won't it affect your family's holiday?"

"How could it be? There are so many people that it's fun to send God off!"

When Yang Naining was happy, he honked the horn, and then increased the horsepower. The car leaped gracefully and flew directly over the potholed gravel, while Shi Wei continued to look out the window.The desolate loess slope gave her a strange feeling—she always felt that someone was silently following them with spirit animals.But the bleak dead tree outside the window seemed to be telling Shi Wei that everything was her illusion.

Shengjia Fortress, a gathering place for ordinary humans, has rarely sent out sentries and guides for a hundred years, so home visits from the tower school are not common.The people in Shengjia Fortress didn't take this matter to heart, so they didn't set up welcome banners like other places along the way.But today is the "Spring Welcoming" day in the Sheng Family Fortress, and the fresh green branches slanted out from the outside of the round fortress-like earthen wall wove a corolla, which made Shi Wei's eyes shine.

The car was approaching the gate of the Shengjia Fortress, and Yang Naining said, "Squad leader, I'll call someone so we can park the car in."

"No, don't disturb your family's holiday."

"How can it be considered disturbing?"

"You are very enthusiastic, but thank you. Finish the work early and go back early. I still have a lot of things to do."

Yang Naining has always regarded herself as a smart person, Shi Wei was so polite, she also walked down the donkey, smiling: "That's fine, I didn't tell my family about my return, and my family should be disgusted by adding two pairs of chopsticks." I won't say anything in advance."

Yang Naining opened the small door and led Shi Wei into the Sheng family's fort quietly.What kind of ceremony is being held in the Shengjia Fortress at this time, and the children and adults are all gathered together.In the circle they formed lay a girl.She closed her eyes tightly, tied a fresh vine on her forehead, and wore a gray-brown witch costume made of tree bark and animal skin.

Shi Wei was about to ask, but Yang Naining took the initiative to explain.

"The one lying down is the Spring God played by our people. Only unmarried boys and girls can be selected."

The witch costume looks very rough, and the girl is probably uncomfortable lying like this, but she still performs her duties seriously, playing the role of a spring god who has not yet been awakened.Shi Wei wondered how long the girl would lie down, but before asking, the children had already sang:

"Spring, spring, wake up. Best of all seasons, wake up."

"Spring, spring, wake up. Best of all seasons, wake up."

They sang it three or four times, but the girl didn't move a muscle.They pulled the girl's clothes.But the girl still didn't open her eyes and just lay there quietly.

At first, Shi Wei thought it was part of the ceremony, until the crowd broke out, and a man with a whistle around his neck was invited by himself, and the anger that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly had an object to vent.

The people in the Sheng family's fortress spoke with a heavy accent, mixed with a lot of local dialect.Shi Wei could only listen to the whole thing, but fortunately, she still heard that the unconscious Chunshen was the daughter of the man with the whistle, and it was a taboo to stay awake for a long time, and everyone was throwing fire at the man.

The man waved his arms and quarreled with these people for a while, and the crowd became quieter.Only then did the man put the whistle in his mouth, and blew hard——

A miracle happened, the girl who was lying on the ground suddenly jumped up, although her eyes were still blurred and she looked like she hadn't woken up, she finally woke up.The people in the Sheng Family Fortress seemed to have resolved some major crisis, and the interrupted music sounded again, but it was more cheerful and joyful.

"...This is the person we are going to visit today." Yang Naining whispered in Shi Wei's ear.

Shi Wei couldn't believe it, she turned her head and looked at Yang Naining.

"What I said is true. She is Sheng Yutong. If you don't believe me, you can ask later."

Yang Naining rubbed her nose and forced out a smile in embarrassment.

Sheng Yutong, who has the potential of a sentinel, was discovered and reported by the sentinel census statistician two months ago.Shi Wei glanced at the file, then at Sheng Yutong, and sighed inwardly.

No organization, no discipline, no other expertise.It may be very hard in the future to enter the tower school just because of the trait of a sentinel.

From a professional point of view, Shi Wei would like to suggest that Sheng Yutong's family contact her with an easier tower school.The sentinels of the Tianshu Pagoda School were born to be commanders. The training there is cruel, the elimination rate is high, and it is impossible to live a stable life in the traditional sense after graduation.

At this moment, Sheng Yutong was unaware of Shi Wei's thoughts, her eyes were sleepy, and her head slowly drooped.This appearance, Shi Wei looked a little funny, but also a little sad.

With his head down to the lowest point, Sheng Yutong staggered.Shi Wei got up subconsciously to help, but before she touched her hand, Sheng Yutong stopped by herself.The two stared at each other.Shi Wei was startled, she naturally grabbed the stool next to her and pushed it behind Sheng Yutong.She smiled at Sheng Yutong quickly: "Are you tired? Sit down and rest."

Sheng Yutong shook his head.

"Sit down quickly, if you don't sit down, I'll stand with you."

Shi Wei took a tough attitude on purpose, but Sheng Yutong just stood there with her head almost buried in her chest.Seeing that she was silent, Shi Wei suddenly had a bad thought in her heart.

"...You won't be scared to cry by me, will you?"

Sheng Yutong shook her head again, and she said, "No, I don't want to sit, I will get sleepy while sitting."

"You're so tired, don't be brave, rest when you should. I won't make things difficult for you, be obedient." Shi Wei said softly, for fear that Sheng Yutong would really cry out of fright.Sheng Yutong raised his head at this moment and said, "I'm sorry."

Shi Wei was confused.

"What can you say sorry for? Who are you sorry for?"

Yang Naining hurriedly smoothed things over from the sidelines.Others don't know Sheng Yutong, but doesn't she?She called "Xiaotong", and then said: "Xiaotong, don't be afraid, Squad Leader Shi is a good person, she is here this time, just to make a simple home visit on behalf of Tianshu Pagoda School."

Sheng Yutong didn't hold back a word for a long time, but there were more and more people watching.Shi Wei temporarily chose Sheng Yutong's home as the location of her home visit, hoping that she would have a relaxing environment.It's just that she didn't expect that the people in the Sheng family's fortress are simple and simple, and the entire fortress is full of families, who come in and out very casually. In a short while, Sheng Yutong's family is already so crowded that it is difficult to breathe.

Shi Wei didn't think Sheng Yutong had any extraordinary aptitude, but she couldn't bear to see Sheng Yutong too nervous to say a word.She was the first person to visit Sheng Yutong's home, and her home visit report would definitely have a great impact on this girl's fate.So Shi Wei didn't dare to be hasty, she had to find Sheng Yutong's excellence no matter what.

"follow me."

She made a decisive decision, immediately grabbed Sheng Yutong's hand and squeezed out of the crowd.The crowd was also very strange, they took the initiative to make way for Shi Wei, and did not follow.

3. Gentle

There was a well not far from Sheng Yutong's house. Seeing that Sheng Yutong was really sleepy, Shi Wei said, "I'll get you a bucket of cold water, wash your face, and wake up a little bit. I have to make a home visit report for you."
