When he arrived outside the door, Chen Chuan saw Luo Kaiyuan also coming out of the dormitory. This time to participate in the event, he and Luo Kaiyuan were selected from the two rows of dormitories in the first area on the seventh floor.
In terms of strength, Feng Xiaoqi is actually not bad, and he is usually active and very keen on this kind of activities. However, this kind of foreign affairs activities probably also depends on appearance. Feng Xiaoqi is relatively average-looking and may be slightly taller. A bit shorter, so I was excluded this time.
At this time, Zhuang Zhi and Chang Sheng from the opposite dormitory also came out, but they had no intention of talking to each other. After entering the elevator, they remained silent and kept a distance from each other.
Coming out of the elevator and out of the dormitory building, many students had already arrived below.
As time passed, students from other dormitories also arrived one after another. They were all in their early twenties in total. Most of them were freshmen this time, and a few were senior students. They generally had good looks and good figures. Basically nothing too outrageous.
And this time there are many female students joining in.
Chen Chuan saw someone he knew, Guan Xinyin, among the female students. The latter also saw him and raised her hand to greet him, and he nodded in response.
At this time, the Maca exchange students also came out of the dormitory building under the leadership of Teacher Duma.
Chen Chuan has not been around these days, and of course he has not had much communication with these students.
A fighter can mostly get a rough understanding of a person's strength from his body shape and gait. He only glanced at most of the Maka students, and only stopped briefly at Nali and Shani. For a moment, but still quickly looked away.
Chen Chuan thought in his mind that these students were still a little behind Wuyi Academy. Considering that the exchanges this time were all elite students from Maca, the country's fighting level was indeed not high.
Only Teacher Duma, who is a teacher after all, can’t see the root cause, but it is certain that this person’s level must have broken through.
After waiting for a while, the female students from Maca also came over under the leadership of a female teacher Wu Yi.
Their number is about the same as that of the male students. They are wearing bright Maca shawl coats, which are like a half-length cloak, hanging down to the bottom of the knees, with a slight angle, and only a muscular and slender calf is exposed. Outside.
This time everyone was led by several teachers from the enforcement office. The leading teacher’s surname was Han. He was under fifty years old. He had a serious face and a serious expression.
Seeing that everyone was almost there, he took out a roll call and those called responded one by one. When the roll call was over, two passenger buses drove in and stopped in front of the dormitory building.
Teacher Han briefly explained the rules that needed to be followed, and then asked everyone to get on the bus one by one.
The Makka students and their teachers rode in one car alone, while the Wu Yi students took another car. When the car drove out, the leading teacher underneath took the trouble to give instructions on the things to be followed later.
The Foreign Affairs Bureau is very low in the ranking of the Government Affairs Department. After all, it cannot catch up with several business activities throughout the year. It can be seen from its location that it is not near the administrative building in the city center square, but in a slightly southerly location. It takes more than ten minutes to drive between the two.
It is also adjacent to an old-era museum. There is also a larger square in front, but it is not open to the public on weekdays. It is only open for a few days during holidays. Although Chen Chuan is a local, he has not been there a few times.
At around 8:30, two cars stopped in the open space in front of the Museum Square. By this time, it could be seen that some staff from the Foreign Affairs Bureau had arrived and had arranged the scene with blocking ropes. The ground was also symbolically paved. Some carpets, with balloons and streamers hanging next to them.
There is also a band waiting there, but they all use traditional musical instruments of the Maca people, most of which are leather drums, whistles, flutes, mouth strings and the like.
There were many security personnel from the Foreign Affairs Bureau standing around. These people were carrying pistols and short sticks, but they looked very relaxed. After all, they used to receive exchange personnel from Maca every year, which was considered a good thing. Familiar with it.
In addition to officials from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, it is said that a member of the Consultative Bureau will also be present this time. After all, the two countries have a long tradition of friendly exchanges, and there is no harm in doing something like this that is not dangerous and can show one's face.
After the students got off the bus, the Maka students were arranged to wait on both sides, with a row of blocking ropes behind them and the security personnel outside.
Wuyi College, on the other hand, was arranged together on the front side, arranged in two horizontal rows, facing the podium.
Chen Chuan was placed on the rightmost position this time, relatively close to the Maka students. Coincidentally, the person standing opposite happened to be the Maka student who called himself Qiu Chengzu last time. After the two sides made eye contact, they both looked at each other. He nodded in greeting, but he noticed that the student's eyes were a little nervous.
He didn't think much about it, just assuming that the other party wasn't used to it yet.
He looked up and saw that the sun was very bright today and a bit dazzling. According to the procedure, the ceremony would be scheduled for ten o'clock, which was still some time away.
Teacher Duma and all Maca students
The staff were waiting there in silence at the moment. It was obviously a friendly exchange, but the atmosphere seemed a bit serious.
Although it felt a bit dull, no one thought there was anything wrong. Considering that most of these people were coming back to Dashun for the first time and were in a strange environment, this behavior was normal.
Because there is a thoroughfare outside the square, and there are a lot of vehicles and people outside, the appearance of such a person here will attract a lot of people to watch.
As time passed, relevant officials continued to arrive, including the member of the Advisory Council, and more and more people were around. There were several floors inside and outside, but they were all blocked by blocking ropes and security personnel. Outside, the more it is like this, the more people come inside.
Around 9:30, three black cars and an armed vehicle were seen driving into the square one after another. Several security personnel were seen getting out of the armed vehicle. After paying attention to the surroundings, they stepped forward and opened the door of the car in the middle. car door.
Director Liu of the Foreign Affairs Bureau walked down from the top. This man was in his fifties. Although he was stout, he had a square nose and a very elegant temperament.
Under the escort of security personnel, he first shook hands with the Maka official who came to communicate this time and spoke warmly. Then he shook hands with the member of the Advisory Council and some officials from the Government Affairs Office who came to attend the ceremony. He came to the high platform in the middle and gave a speech, praising the friendship and friendly exchanges between the two countries.
This speaker had a loud voice and clear articulation, which could be clearly heard by the citizens watching outside. With the cooperation of the foreign affairs bureau staff on both sides, he received bursts of applause from time to time.
After speaking for about twenty minutes, Director Liu ended his speech without saying anything.
And next, is the highlight of today.
The door of the museum opened, and the curator personally led several emcees to bring out the gifts that the Maca people had given to Dashun and kept in the museum.
The Wu Yi students were also refreshed. After this ceremony, today's activities are almost over.
Although the sun was shining brightly today, no one would find it interesting if they were just standing like this as a backdrop. It looked like they were just talking to some officials, and they were not allowed to whisper to each other.
Chen Chuan looked at the box held in the curator's hand. He learned from Cheng Zitong that it contained the "everlasting oak leaf."
It was originally presented to Dashun by the Maca people as a symbol of friendship between the two countries. It is said that this leaf has the effect of repairing the body and boosting the spirit, but it can only be used with the spices brought by the Maca people and special ceremonies. Only when can it be effective.
Officials in Wuyi City who attend every event can feel that this thing is indeed useful. They can't explain the specifics, but after the ceremony, at least they will feel better than usual, so there are actually many people who come to the ceremony. . At this time, the citizens on the periphery also stretched their necks and kept leaning in, trying to see the thing clearly.
The curator asked a female emcee to hold the box, took out the key, opened it, and then slowly took off the lid of the box. What was revealed to everyone was a green-gold oak leaf with clear veins. The moment you open it, a natural fresh air seems to spread.
Chen Chuan took a look and saw that this thing was only about ten centimeters in size. Apart from the special color, he couldn't see much else. However, this thing was given to Dashun more than fifty years ago. It can be stored for such a long time. It itself shows something special.
Teacher Douma focused his eyes on the oak leaf and couldn't help but clenched his fists secretly. He was trying to restrain his excitement, but his students couldn't help it and leaned forward one by one. This time The purpose of their trip to Dashun was to get this thing back, even if it cost them their lives.
Although their reaction was a bit excessive, because this thing was a gift from the Maca people, it had an extraordinary meaning in the hearts of the Maca people, and everyone around them could understand it.
Director Liu was surprised when he saw the reaction of the Maca people. He also waved his hand and magnanimously asked the female emcee to show the things to everyone for a few times. Then he took two steps back and gave up his position to the man with a smile. A Maca official and made a gesture of invitation.
The Maca official returned a traditional gift from his country, then stretched out his hand and carefully took the holy object into his hand.
The next step was to hold the Maka ceremony. The Maka official signaled Teacher Duma and a few selected students to come to the front.
Teacher Douma calmed down at this time. He stepped forward, took the oak leaf from the Maka official, turned around, and then raised it high. At this moment, there was a high emotion in his whole body, as if his whole person had been sublimated, and the eyes of the surrounding Maka students also shone with excitement.
Teacher Duma looked ahead firmly, and then walked forward step by step. At the same time, a long tone began to sound in his throat. At the same time, the drummers of the Maca people also played music. The tune was vast and ancient, with a sense of Original rustic look.
The Maka students also started to harmonize. They were full of emotions, their eyes were firm, and they were very dedicated, as if they were going to complete a major and sacred mission.
Even the people watching on both sides were infected by their emotions and couldn't help but watch intently.
But at this moment, amid the sound of drums
There was an inconspicuous gunshot, and Director Liu's body on the stage was shaken. The security personnel around him reacted immediately and rushed up to cover him.
Not far away, the member of the Advisory Council was dragged to the side by the security guard around him, and a bullet hole appeared where he originally stood.
Almost at the same time, several tube-shaped objects were thrown into the square, and soon a large amount of black smoke came out. Many people began to cough and shed tears as soon as they smelled the smell.
When Teacher Maka saw Director Liu being hit, his eyes narrowed. Although the local resistance forces promised to create opportunities for them, they did not say that they would assassinate Government Affairs Department officials. But he couldn't care about so much now. Taking advantage of the chaos, he closed the box and ran out.
The Maka students beside him also rushed out together with him. At this time, the Maka students on both sides, male and female, seemed to have received orders. They moved at the same time and rushed towards the Wu Yi students blocking the way in front.
