Chapter 12
The stiff dance
…………
…………
The body was on the slope of the mine, facing the static night sky of the western, the dark faint red beast city was behind his body, the starlight on the vault of heaven of the East Forest Region was so bleak, it was like having an infinite gauze, shrouding on the top of the atmosphere. Just in such environment which light was thin and baffling like this, Sheilor’s fuzzy figure was kept proceeding the warping and stretching, in accordance with some namely settled routines, stretching the legs, twisting the waist, lowering the body, throwing the punches, turning the wrists, passing the elbows…
Fengyu watched along the side quietly and didn’t say a word. For more than one year, the youngster had already remembered this set of movements extremely fluent, he didn’t have any wrong place, even that dragging down inclined angle of the fingertip would not have a degree deviation.
This set looked like not complex movements, obviously, was not a gymnastics, because the routines appear somewhat scattered, and the movements were too slow, it was more like a kind of dance. The problem was that comparing with those famous dancers of the Upper Forest Music and Dance Troupe, however, this kind of dance appeared too stiff and raw.
The raw was not the smooth, but not ripe that kind. Sheilor’s movements had a kind of bloody, not roasted by the fire at all, and very difficult to chew the bones that kind of feeling.
Stiff was not the crudity, it was like the reinforced organic glass, which is used as the knife-bearing surface in the operating room; or like the endless stones under the grass on the East Forest plant, blindly hard, every movement was so crisp, clean-cut and clear.
When this “stiff and raw” dance was decomposed, it had roughly ten movements, every two movements would step out in the opposite directions. When Sheilor took back the stepped-out right foot seriously at last, squat down with a strange posture, this set of movements would be counted over completely.
It looked like that it’s not so complex, the amount of the exercise was not that a lot neither, but Sheilor’s face had been covered with a layer of hot steam, and exuded the blush in the night of the East Forest Region. The sweat drenched the back of his garment and dripped down along the skirt of the weskit. Thus it could be seen, the movements in just such a short time, had already let him to pay how much energy.
Sheilor breathed slowly, he couldn’t say a word out for a long time. The youngster that originally appearing thin body was like full of a stream of hidden but not launched power, the line was very beautiful. Nobody knew in a few years, when he would grow up completely, what kind of appearance of this body would look like.
Keeping silence was not just because of fatigue, but more because those more than six hundred muscles of the body were occupied by the sore feeling completely at the moment, that let Sheilor not willing to move even a little finger. Every myofibril seemed to be breathing, inflating and grinding at the moment— It’s like the friction between the metal and the porcelain stone, that made one to feel the pain on top of the world.
After the soreness, it’s the burst of completely spontaneous trembles, seemed like rose from the bottom of Sheilor’s heart, along the composed route by the muscle, nerve and those connective tissues, kept spreading out around, like beating the drum all the way, shocked his every subtle body, let the bared outside skin began to rise up the little bumps, then disappeared, it’s just like that there was an invisible power sliding on his skin.
The trouser legs began trembling up in the windless night, which covered the truth that his both legs were shaking without stop.
Sheilor didn’t understand why those muscles would emit heat by themselves, generated the illusion of friction. He didn’t even know, that’s because the myofibril of body was formed by two twined together filamentous protein originally. Of course, he wouldn’t also know why these muscles would tremble, what meaning it represented, what use it had… he just remembered the words which the repair shop boss had said, he might put these pains in his mind, he might remember the route of the sore and trembles.

Took off the full of smelly sweat clothes, had a bath, the refreshed and relaxed Sheilor slouched his head and climbed up above the mine once again, sat down by Fengyu’s side languidly, his look was somewhat pale, it looked like that he had just had a serious illness. Fengyu didn’t take notice at him, he just looked at the crystal screen on his laps optionally, the light blue light floated on his face, that set off a bit callous and feminine feeling on the face of this repair shop boss.
“The internal online could not confirm whether Paul Long had already recognized me.” Sheilor said with some exhaustion. Just in one glance, that familiar light blue interface had already let the youngster knew, the boss invaded the federal police system again today, last time he asked Levi that group of orphans to help on the Bell Tower Street, it was also because the above of the mine two people had already checked all the inside stories of the governor’s office and the police station clearly.
The could invade into the official internet system characters, of course would not be the simple people, just this looked like ordinary repair shop boss would occasionally bring Sheilor this kind of surprise in these two years, so he didn’t feel that it’s unexpected, it’s not pleasantly surprised anyway.
Sometimes Sheilor would also guess, what kind of blunder actually his boss violated in the military in those years, so that this kind of talent like him would also be an army deserter. In these two years, he had always had a kind of unreal feeling, he always felt that he met an outstanding character hiding in the marketplace, it’s like the drama which was played on the movie or the TV play, it’s really beyond belief.
The youngster didn’t want to inquire about the past of his boss, on the one hand, that’s because he really didn’t have the interest, he just wanted to learn the knowledge of the machine maintenance aspect, sometimes he would be vigilant and dread about the mystery of uncle Fengyu instead, he always felt that he had the feeling of entering the thief cave by mistake. On the other hand, that’s because Sheilor was able to watch people awfully— Besides the calm which Fengyu admired him the most, the orphan life let Sheilor form the ability of watching what others were doing and saying, he knew that the boss next to him looked like harmless, but there was the cold color which no one could wipe off in his bone.
In other words, Sheilor clearly knew that uncle Fengyu was a ruthless and cold-blooded person, he didn’t want to use his life to take a risk.
“The news department and the production department of the West River State TV station fought together, it looks like that the people behind the regional committee and the governor will have a fight too.” Fengyu looked at the characters and the pictures flashed on the crystal screen, he said with a smile, “Paul Long does not have the time inferior to self-care at this time, how could he think of you this little orphan?”
If the regular people heard the dialogue between these two people, they would probably be afraid of the thing, which these two men of the repair shop motivated the parade on the Bell Tower Street, would be hiding one of the great political conspiracy. But Sheilor knew it clearly, the middle-aged man by his side didn’t have any interest about these superior things at all. And they were just only the small potatoes themselves, they could stir up the troubles, but once they really touch these things, that would be the way to court death.
The familiar music sounded, the familiar appearance of that purple hair girl appeared on the crystal screen. The sitting on the slope middle age man and youngster stopped talking at the same time, began the most important leisure activities of every night, and accompanied with the waves of sound of saliva absorption and gasp in admiration.
Under the background of very light reddish night sky light, those invisible radio wave, signal and frequency intersect to shuttle back and forth unstoppably, the invisible lines b
ecame the different colors of the screen pictures eventually, went into the thousands of thousands of families of the East Forest Region, went into countless people’s eyes, and enriched their dreams.
A dark red line crossed over the night sky, with the faint roar of breaking air sound, it’s probably the lesser and lesser half-outer-space patrol of the military region. Several wild black cats, climbed back and forth in the natural rock tunnels beneath the electronic fence, they took the First Charter of the human being as nothing, came together towards the direction of the abandoned mine, and searched for the residue of food which those two humans left behind happily.
A wild cat held a few of the beef in its mouth, raised its head wonderingly, and looked at those two gathered together but still lonely silhouettes.

In the other corner of the city, a group of approached together but still lonely orphans, were silently but with murderous looks walking on the way to kill people, the leader Levi put his hands in the pocket, held tightly that metal stick which gave him the strong confidence.
