Chapter 228 Silhouettes under the setting sun
"Yes, that's it. Dolores, just put the instrument straight."
In the sun, the two girls were fiddling with the instrument on an uninhabited hilltop and recording data.
After a few minutes, the instrument was set up, and now they only needed to sit for more than ten minutes to wait for the data collection to be completed.
The two sat on the rocks on the hillside, leaning against each other and chatting, occasionally talking about their hobbies, recent situations, etc.
In this way, after the collection was completed, the two moved the things back to the small plane, and then they could take off again and head to the next location.
Five days is not a long time. Most of the places the two went to during this period were not populated. Only one time did they encounter a special situation. At that time, the sampling point was occupied by a group of wandering villains. After a little hesitation, the two decided to clear this den.
After a fight, Tilan found equipment for the development of certain chemical agents in the basement of this base, and then learned that it was something to make addictive hallucinogenic drugs.
After a fire, these people were packed and sent to the nearest local police station. After the two collected the data, they left by plane.
In this way, they overlooked the scenery along the way and collected data at the same time until the end of five days. When all the sampling points were completed, the two returned to the town where they started.
The small plane, like a fat crown daisy, landed slowly in the yard, then lowered the support and stopped steadily, and the two jumped off the plane.
"It feels like I have been traveling for a long time, but it's only been five days."
After returning to the residence, they took a shower first, and then they could finally sleep on the soft and comfortable big bed. Tilan wrapped in a quilt and fell asleep quickly. When Dolores took a shower and returned to the room, she found that her companion had begun to breathe evenly.
"What a lazy pig." Dolores poked Tilan's face, then leaned against the head of the bed, flipped through the photos taken these days, and after looking at them for a long time, she felt a little sleepy and went to bed.
On the second day, everyone returned to the church one after another.
"So, our experience has finally come to an end." N announced this in the hall of the church, and sporadic applause rang out below.
"Anyway, I'm still very pleased to see that you were able to complete all of this, and no one dropped out halfway through."
"According to my estimation, some people might not be able to adapt, or get tired of this process and leave, or want to take shortcuts, but fortunately, none of these situations happened." After saying that, N clapped his hands.
"As for the gains from this experience, I hope everyone can write a reflection. Of course, this reflection is not the kind of reflection that is just for the sake of doing things, but your memories, thoughts, and summary from the heart."
"After writing, you don't have to hand it in to me or the academy, but keep it for yourself. When you recall it again many years later, you will feel that this trip has a special meaning." "
Now there is still some time before returning to school. In the next few days, you can move around here, relax, or travel to other places in the north, but I think you probably don't have the mood to travel now, haha."
"That's true. Now I just want to stay in my room and sleep well, play games, and eat all kinds of delicious food." Jin Senke raised his hand.
He used to think that life was dull and boring, but the experiences during this period were so exciting that he now wants to live a quiet life for a few days.
"Come to think of it, we haven't had a good dinner together yet. How about we have a dinner together in the church tomorrow, buy the ingredients separately, and then cook it ourselves?" Iyepel suggested.
"I agree, but I guess all the ingredients will be used to buy barbecue." Jinsenk was the first to agree.
"I think we should make some special snacks." Guluo rubbed his chin.
"It has to be spicy enough to be tasty!" Ximu raised his thumb.
"I miss the bat soup in my hometown." Shelian leaned on the windowsill of the church.
"Fresh peaches, cherries, and ripe apricots~" Iyepel said the names of the fruits.
"It's not bad to have some light pastries." Avni stroked the hair on the side of her ear.
"Dessert is the best~" Ruby raised two fingers.
"I like to pair it with some purple wine." Allen said his thoughts.
"I still like clear black tea." Dolores looked at Tilan on the side.
"Haha, I'll choose dark beer. It will be great with delicious food." Phyllis came over with a cup of water.
"I'm not picky, but if I have to choose, I still like the honey ham that the pastor made for everyone when I was a child." Valk's voice was full of nostalgia.
"What does Tilan like?" Dolores walked to the side chair and sat with the dazed girl.
"For me, I want to eat fish a little bit. Maybe I didn't have many opportunities to eat it before." Because the fishing industry is not well developed underground.
"Then make cod soup for Tilan." The others responded with a smile.
"It seems that we have to prepare well today. It will probably be very lively tomorrow."
"By the way, can we call the children in the church to come together? It will be more lively if there are more people." Someone suggested.
"I'll talk to Pastor Boyce, he probably won't refuse."
"It's a rare moment to relax, who will go shopping with Ruby today?" Ruby stood on the bench and raised her hand high.
Several hands responded below, and finally Ruby selected the candidates and began to count the ingredients they liked.
The originally cold church began to liven up. After hearing the news, the children also cheered in the classroom, and then put down their pens in the helpless look of Pastor Boyce, surrounded Ruby, and reported their favorite food and dishes one by one. The group also tried their best to meet everyone's requirements.
An hour later, Ruby, who had collected the requirements, led a group of people to the supermarket. The church was also closed today and became much quieter.
Sitting under the big tree in the backyard of the church, Tilan was flipping through the old psalm picture book found in the church today. This was originally a birthday gift bought by the pastor for the children many years ago, but the current owner has changed several times, and there are many signs of wear on the pages.
[The young nobleman in white who pursues the path of a hero, and his childhood playmate, a follower who aspires to be an assassin.]
[When they were young, they practiced swordplay with each other, and they had a close relationship, viewing each other as their best friends and rivals.]
In a drawing with a green forest background, two young men in white and black stood back to back. The young man in white had blond hair, while the young man in black had short wine-red hair. They each held a sword and looked forward, with different but firm beliefs.
[But the fates of the two were destined to diverge from each other, and as they grew up, their paths gradually drifted apart.]
[The young man of noble birth relied on the power of his family to gradually approach the top of the empire, becoming a rising star and famous general on the battlefield, while the young man of commoner birth gradually walked into the hidden darkness, and his name was never heard of again.]
In the drawing, the two walked towards a forked road, one leading to the white castle platform, and the other leading to the depths of the dark and lightless forest.
[Everything is not over yet. The two who walked on different paths finally met again one day. They rebuked each other's mistakes and thought that the other had gone astray.]
Holding swords of different lengths, the two of them stood together. Sparks could be seen where the swords collided. The man in white, wearing a white general's coat, and the man in a dark night suit with only his eyes exposed.
[Intersecting swords, different beliefs, former friends became the biggest enemies.]
[A regrettable fate, like a cruel joke, but so unforgettable.]
[I miss the days when we shouted in the wind at sunset. Time, if we could stop, how beautiful it would be.]
At the end of the poem, the two crossed the horizon in the distance, and the scene of jumping up and shouting together as teenagers in the past appeared in the golden afterglow.
Fingers turned over this last page, and there was no content behind it, only the cover that was rubbed white.
"Does Tilan like this story?" When the girl's thoughts were still immersed in the story, a familiar voice came from above her head.
Avni, with her long blond hair, put her hands on her white dress in front of her knees and leaned over to look at the girl sitting under the tree. Her long hair also shone brightly in the golden afterglow, like gold.
