「喂。」116Please respect copyright.PENANAzQiTKnMJ4i
116Please respect copyright.PENANASGXOYBM7ju
女孩預想中的劇痛並未襲來,取而代之的是利亞姆冷淡的聲音。116Please respect copyright.PENANAhZhNrwvK8K
116Please respect copyright.PENANADTYUDGGHXU
而那聲警告不帶有憤怒也聽不出擔憂。116Please respect copyright.PENANASuimjDT85R
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQrcA9U7aYN
「嗚嗚……」116Please respect copyright.PENANAGWI5VxAYFI
116Please respect copyright.PENANA15gU59WQuJ
女孩看著自己及時被利亞姆抓出籠外的手,忍不住嚎啕大哭起來。116Please respect copyright.PENANAIsWa3vyPEC
116Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4LJXYB1Jn
見到此景,許多還未接受測試的孩子包括女孩也離開了帳篷,現在還留在帳棚裡的人數,五指手指頭是數的出來的。116Please respect copyright.PENANAjcNWUFz9wS
116Please respect copyright.PENANAEDSDe0GJ6S
不過利亞姆仍然不受影響,他看向所剩無幾的孩子,並走向昨天有來向他搭話的諾倫面前,「我記得你,你叫諾倫。」116Please respect copyright.PENANA9fUHkT4d2b
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0gKzmTrIYB
有些被嚇到卻也不想放棄的諾倫點點頭,問道:「我可以試試看嗎?」116Please respect copyright.PENANA21k4hUSwTa
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0br9bgyWIL
回想起昨天白獅的反應,諾倫覺得自己應該沒問題,便自告奮勇想要試試。116Please respect copyright.PENANA6duW7N7pJV
116Please respect copyright.PENANA7pjFdFDrOn
「可以,過來。」116Please respect copyright.PENANACGibAsCHVF
116Please respect copyright.PENANAaR2UK4lmJb
利亞姆一樣把諾倫帶到泰雅面前,泰雅的反應和剛才見到女孩一樣,充滿著敵意並戒備著。116Please respect copyright.PENANAHACiPS7BzH
116Please respect copyright.PENANAl4P0sNknuE
「泰雅,他是諾倫。」116Please respect copyright.PENANAr32FJkgz9x
116Please respect copyright.PENANADpZRUUilNZ
按照著本來該進行的程序,利亞姆向泰雅介紹諾倫,並要諾倫也和牠說話。116Please respect copyright.PENANA6O2j3pI7He
「泰雅很怕生,但個性很溫和。」116Please respect copyright.PENANApCOYINnsXs
116Please respect copyright.PENANARKYj2sRGHF
了解了泰雅的習性,諾倫沒有朝籠子伸手,而是稍稍遠離籠子,露出友善的微笑,語氣溫和道:「你好泰雅!我是諾倫,很高興見到你!」116Please respect copyright.PENANA5CCZ3DspWg
116Please respect copyright.PENANAVGtChBe4PH
好像聽得懂諾倫的話,泰雅的模樣明顯放鬆了許多,並緩緩靠近籠子的欄杆。116Please respect copyright.PENANAApyQOHThqH
「我們可以做朋友嗎?」116Please respect copyright.PENANASgHnAVG7Ok
116Please respect copyright.PENANAoQdL9ypFHj
雖然不確定泰雅聽不聽得懂他說的話,但諾倫記得利亞姆說過的互相信賴,便想出了這個像在交朋友一樣的方法。116Please respect copyright.PENANAEzySv9tFLY
116Please respect copyright.PENANAe5VKo03Ugp
泰雅看著諾倫,低吼了幾聲。利亞姆就像聽得動牠吼聲的涵義一般,摸了摸泰雅的頭,並對諾倫道:「泰雅願意讓你摸摸牠。」116Please respect copyright.PENANAyaqop39xrp
116Please respect copyright.PENANAK3gSMw0IGi
聞言,諾倫笑得更加燦爛,他小心翼翼地走像泰雅,並輕輕摸摸牠的頭,「謝謝你!泰雅!」116Please respect copyright.PENANAGOuYnTVKmk
116Please respect copyright.PENANANPkdt28VSs
泰雅像是在回應他般吼了聲,舔了舔他伸進去的手。116Please respect copyright.PENANACBmo4KzAw5
116Please respect copyright.PENANAVDxuHllnJA
在這之後,諾倫幾乎得到了所有動物的信賴。最後通過測驗的孩子只剩下三個,雖然人數不多,但後面想必還會有想要中途加入的孩子,而利亞姆看起來也毫不在意。116Please respect copyright.PENANAIowtEGiDnj
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFu4F1r2sI6
「恭喜你們,這之後負責上課的會是其他候補的訓獸師,我如果有空就會來教你們。」116Please respect copyright.PENANA0jsxOqmkO8
116Please respect copyright.PENANAqK7JgaCyKP
摸了摸迪爾,利亞姆說明完之後的事情後便離開了帳篷,之後的指導便是由他說的候補訓獸師來擔任。116Please respect copyright.PENANA3bb8wi4h8A
116Please respect copyright.PENANAzqTl0qgEM8
「利亞姆哥哥好可怕……」116Please respect copyright.PENANAVvd81YjF9w
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFx8JbaVU3K
其中一個通過測試的男孩不經意地脫口而出,剛好被來接任的候補訓獸師聽到。116Please respect copyright.PENANAXQSjtHWVIV
「利亞姆哥哥其實人很好的!他只是不太擅長與人交流!」116Please respect copyright.PENANAHPEKoKke6y
116Please respect copyright.PENANAfJGsCfQgdg
諾倫看著這位候補的訓獸師,雖說是候補,但他的年紀看起來大他們沒幾歲。116Please respect copyright.PENANA6iaufKMCQU
「哥哥,你已經是候補訓獸師了嗎?」諾倫好奇地問道。116Please respect copyright.PENANA5RdqPrhFVb
116Please respect copyright.PENANAAYdr6DIMOv
「是啊!我今年剛滿十歲,很快就要去國外訓練了!」他看起來很期待,並繼續說道:「順便一提!我被分到了法蘭喔!聽說那裡的甜點很多,我很期待呢!」116Please respect copyright.PENANAW1gXYmX50D
116Please respect copyright.PENANAnFe8uYDQXN
看著對方興奮的模樣,諾倫想著自己總有一天也能成為候補,甚至是成為一線表演者,那股興奮之情讓他有些心癢難耐,迫不急待想要開始訓獸師的訓練課程。116Please respect copyright.PENANAqabeAB07j3
116Please respect copyright.PENANArB7yA61MOw
簡單打過招呼後,成為訓獸師的課程正式開始,從各種動物的習性到表演技巧,以及如何處理動物暴走的情況,艱深卻又不無趣的課程讓諾倫的日子過得很充實,當然,他也不忘回帳篷後和伊恩分享每天的心得,並把它們記錄在本子上。116Please respect copyright.PENANAo79FwMqgOW
日子過得很快,三個月後,擔任他們指導的候補訓獸師跟隨其他候補表演者一起離開了英倫,團長及所有一線表演者帶著祝福送走他們,其中安德莉亞哭得最傷心。116Please respect copyright.PENANAS5desAgfkP
「別難過了,安德莉亞。」伊坦看著哭得說不出話的安德莉亞,伸出去想拍拍她肩頭的手不知怎麼地又收了回去。116Please respect copyright.PENANACWy2VkcYuK
116Please respect copyright.PENANACcYZgArBz7
「安德莉亞,用微笑祝福他們吧。」團長走到安德莉亞身旁安慰道。116Please respect copyright.PENANAWJpWmwzSJv
116Please respect copyright.PENANADl6hUiS4E1
「諾倫,如果我們真的分開了,一定要每星期都寫信喔!」116Please respect copyright.PENANAxgMThEXsM7
116Please respect copyright.PENANAOV9N8xi64X
似乎是被氣氛影響,伊恩漂亮的藍色眼眸泛著淚,並伸出小指,「我們打勾勾約定好!」116Please respect copyright.PENANAn2W86qzJ4D
116Please respect copyright.PENANAhtxTAmaHix
「當然!一起練習的約定我還記得!」116Please respect copyright.PENANAqpmt5M08AO
116Please respect copyright.PENANAaEfgJL6VNs
勾上伊恩的小指,他們倆相視而笑。在他們心中,無論未來的居所在哪,這份約定必定將兩人聯繫在一起,這是他們共同期望的未來,也是努力的動力之一。116Please respect copyright.PENANAVeBfirBxV6
116Please respect copyright.PENANAaklrqqAII2
回到上課帳篷的路上,諾倫遇見了團長,並很有精神地向他打了招呼,「團長哥哥早安!」116Please respect copyright.PENANATTmhsVoCRQ
116Please respect copyright.PENANAXtdAEMwjmq
「諾倫早安!」團長露出親切溫和的笑,「上課上得還好嗎?有沒有跟不上的地方?」116Please respect copyright.PENANApYzxTkzvsd
116Please respect copyright.PENANAMA0cY0vmWf
團長一如既往的溫柔,諾倫十分憧憬和自己有相同遭遇卻如此堅強的他,搖頭答道:「沒有!幫我們上課的哥哥很厲害!問他問題也都會回答!」116Please respect copyright.PENANAz6djjW9ix7
116Please respect copyright.PENANAMRDIC2udwI
看著諾倫不再帶有陰霾的笑臉,團長笑瞇起眼,摸了摸他的頭,「太好了,今天開始會換講師,如果有甚麼問題也一樣可以問喔!」116Please respect copyright.PENANAiR72NkyGt6
116Please respect copyright.PENANAt72VBR8FpN
「嗯!」116Please respect copyright.PENANAJp6MlXTFir
116Please respect copyright.PENANAc11Lh1Apv8
可能是有相同經驗的關係,諾倫感覺到團長對自己似乎特別照顧,也因為這樣,諾倫對團長的憧憬及喜愛日漸增長,他很希望自己有一天能和團長一起站上舞台,也很想讓團長認可他的能力。116Please respect copyright.PENANAR8ozKKYsnO
116Please respect copyright.PENANAqESeh0XbXR
「為了能和團長一起表演,我要努力練習!」看著最喜歡的團長,他在心裡激勵自己。116Please respect copyright.PENANAmmXKccr4kW
116Please respect copyright.PENANAfpXqKVQJCb
在那之後又過了三個月,經過了半年的訓練,一線表演者將會前來驗收學徒的表現。在驗收前一天,諾倫與自己的動物搭檔——棕熊提爾正在進行最後的特訓,他準備的表演是讓提爾踩大皮球,而提爾也已經被訓練到可以繞帳篷走兩圈的程度。116Please respect copyright.PENANALOlmfdZATW
116Please respect copyright.PENANAv1ZEjhyjZJ
「辛苦你了提爾!」諾倫摸摸剛跳下皮球的提爾,餵給他熊熊的小零食。116Please respect copyright.PENANADg3xRB2lYX
116Please respect copyright.PENANASlWSvT1J9U
「諾倫?你還在練習嗎?」116Please respect copyright.PENANAD9TIfGhnsE
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYJMniAf2Vx
突然,寧靜的帳篷口傳來熟悉的聲音。諾倫轉頭一看,便見到了提著油燈的團長。116Please respect copyright.PENANAxD0UH2XUwC
116Please respect copyright.PENANA7RqWou0Hc2
「團長哥哥!」看到杜伊利奧,諾倫開心地跑到他面前,「明天要驗收了!我想最後再確認幾次。」116Please respect copyright.PENANAomDgdz4NsB
116Please respect copyright.PENANAgS2pWX9eoe
「我相信你沒問題的,快到熄燈時間了,快洗洗澡去休息吧。」把油燈遞給諾倫,他走向提爾,「我會把提爾帶回去的,你先回去吧。」116Please respect copyright.PENANAqZJ4yHYEzV
116Please respect copyright.PENANAX95TOQAaIF
看著團長自然地走向提爾,諾倫訝異地看著他,「團、團長?」116Please respect copyright.PENANAEcBlxoLr6n
