Chapter 1943 – Discouragement
”What night watchman? You’ve got the wrong person, I’m from the neighborhood committee.”
He turned his head and walked behind him.
Zhao Zhengbin: “……”
You can’t lie so falsely, right? Who else in the whole of Daxia doesn’t know about the Nightwatchman right now?
Zhao Zhengbin was about to say something when the hand tugging on the corner of the man’s coat was torn by the force of the turn, and a straight sword clamped inside the waistband of his pants fell to the ground with a clang.
Zhao Zhengbin and the man exchanged glances, and the air suddenly fell into a dead silence.
”Sorry, I dropped my walking stick.”
The young man was silent for a moment, bending down and picking up the straight knife from the ground, probing it as if it were a walking stick, however, the blade simply wasn’t long enough, and could only wobble and poke around in mid-air, the bizarre image was inexplicably a bit comical.
”…… Are the brain circuits of you Night Watchmen all as clear as yours?” Zhao Zhengbin couldn’t help but spit.
”No, I’m in the minority.”
The young man had just said halfway through his sentence when he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and looked around for a moment, realizing that no one was paying attention to him, and let out a slight sigh of relief.
Zhao Zhengbin stared blankly at this rather interesting peer in front of him, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise, and the mysterious filter he had in his heart for the Night’s Watch dissipated quite a bit ……
”The appearance of the Night’s Watch in the refuge will definitely cause the people to crowd around, and then the order will be in chaos …… Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone else.” After the two stood still for a moment, Zhao Zhengbin took the initiative to extend his hand.
”My name is Zhao Zhengbin.”
”…… Su Zhe.” Su Zhe sized him up for a long time, sighed helplessly, and held the palm of that hand, “I’m sorry, I’m not very good at controlling my mouth …… sometimes it’s easy to do bad things.”
”You look about my age.”
”I’m twenty-one.”
”Then I’m a bit smaller, I’m twenty.” Zhao Zhengbin curiously glanced at the red sleeve band on his shoulder, “So the Night Watch have all mixed in with the commoners and started to maintain order among the people?”
”That’s not true, most of them are just on standby at the shelter after plainclothes …… I’m an exception.”
Zhao Zhengbin was about to ask why, and after thinking for a moment, he still closed his mouth.
A night watchman, who suddenly withdrew from the front line and returned to the rear to maintain order among the people …… is obviously being relegated ah, it would be impolite to ask further.
Su Zhe stared at him for a long time and asked rhetorically, “Aren t you curious why I am an exception?”
”…… Ah?”
”If it was me, I would definitely not be able to resist continuing to ask …… ‘Did you become a deserter ah’, ‘Or is your strength too rookie la’. ‘Why else could you only be here to maintain order’ or something like that …… “Su Zhe spoke quietly.
”…… Is it true that you won’t be beaten if you ask like this?”
Su Zhe thought for a moment, “It will.”
Zhao Zhengbin: ……
”You’re a night watchman, you should know what’s going on outside right now, right?” Zhao Zhengbin lowered his voice and asked the question he wanted to know the most right now, “Outside, is there a fight?”
”This, I can’t say.” Su Zhe replied squarely.
”If you reveal a little bit to me, I won’t say anything, really.”
”Sorry, this really can’t be done.”
Zhao Zhengbin sighed, “Then can you tell me how to become a night watchman?”
Hearing this question, Su Zhe’s expression was a bit subtle, he looked Zhao Zhengbin up and down again, and asked suspiciously.
”Why do you …… want to be a night watchman?”
”How handsome is a night watchman! And powerful, and able to fight those monsters and gods and protect the country.” Zhao Zhengbin’s eyes lit up with a shimmering light.
”…… “Su Zhe sighed and said in a serious tone.
”Zhao Zhengbin younger brother …… you are also more than twenty years old, should have long passed the age of liking youthful fantasies, the night watchman is very imposing yes, but this imposing is not something that anyone can withstand ……
Vigilantes are hard and tiring, just the training to become a full-fledged Vigilantes can kill a person half a life, bad luck, may not even live to graduate from the intensive training ……
After graduation, you have to fight with those scary things every day, not moving is the blood ah limbs ah and so on, may also encounter a long giant disgusting giant horror of the monster, or is absolutely crushed by the gods, in front of them, people are really with the ants …… may be today with you to eat and drink with the brother, the next day into the grave of the dirt. The next day it becomes a dirt bag in the grave.
To say that it is a euphemism for bolting your head to your waist to live your life is already a euphemism, from the very beginning, you have to be prepared to bolt your brain to the grave …… Death may not be scary, not knowing when death will come is the most torturous ……
Not only that, the night watchman almost no vacation, to always keep on standby, you can imagine yourself is at home in a comfortable hot bath, and then the phone call over there, too late to wear clothes over a towel on the way out of the rush? It is also because of this, the night watchman almost can’t get married and have children, everything that you ordinary people have at your fingertips is out of reach for us ……”
Zhao Zhengbin’s sentence, directly let Su Zhe open his heart, like a broken basket pouring out a bunch of words, listening to Zhao Zhengbin are a little confused.
Is this guy …… really a night watchman?
Zhao Zhengbin thought that Su Zhe might dissuade him, but he did not expect that he dissuaded so sincerely …… that he felt that he was about to dissuade himself.
”…… In short, you listen to me, be an ordinary person, find a stable job, find a good wife, do not have to bolt your head to the grave, and live a peaceful life better than anything else …… The sky collapsed, that is not still a tall man on top of the I’m not going to be able to do that. I’m a short person, why do you want to be a pillar of the top?”
Su Zhe finished in one breath, in the middle did not have the slightest pause, Zhao Zhengbin stayed for a long time, want to refute something, but not refute the export ……
”But I think ……”
Before Zhao Zhengbin’s words fell, the restaurant on the side came from the sound of commotion, it seems that some people because of the distribution of dishes started an argument.
Su Zhe glanced in that direction and immediately inserted his straight sword back into the waistband of his pants, covering it with his blouse, and solemnly put on the brightly colored red sleeve bands on his arms correctly.
”Nice to meet you, brother Zhao Zhengbin.” Su Zhe patted his shoulder, I don’t know if it was Zhao Zhengbin’s illusion, but Su Zhe’s entire person seemed to be a lot more cheerful after he finished that part of the conversation.
”Although saying this is a bit like some kind of not-so-good-for-review and inexplicably strangely drawn novel line, but I hope you can keep our secret, see you next time.”
With that, he turned his head and ran towards the cafeteria!
”Sanctuary vigilantes here! Don’t zap push! Don’t make a scene! Leave me alone ……”
A vague voice came from the distance, Zhao Zhengbin stood frozen in place, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and turned his head in the direction of the dormitory.
