This is the closest country in the East China Sea to the Great Sea route, Rednans.

Located to the far right of Mount Lywards leading to the entrance to the Great Passage, hidden in the shadow of a great red rock. Many outsiders, even locals of the East China Sea, will not deliberately take a detour to this too remote country when they go to the great shipping route.

The country is shrouded in a huge raised rock wall that towers over the terracotta continent, and the shadow cast by the rock wall divides the country into two halves, one inhabited by the shadow segment with the majority of the commoners, and the other inhabited by the "official residents" who can just be reached by the sun, the nobles.

As if the heavens were revealing the difference between the two identities, the nobles, shrouded in light, used this as a boundary and ordered their soldiers to build huge walls that could not be crossed.

However, this did not affect the lives of the common people, although the direct exposure to sunlight was only a few hours in the morning and dusk, but most people spent the day fishing or going to the official territory to farm and sell goods, and few people stayed at home with nothing to do. So they don't lack the sun's rays, no one complains about where they live, and even on some very heavy rain and snowy days, the huge raised rock wall above them helps them to keep them out of the wind and snow, and the optimistic residents even thank the rock wall for it.

Because the land in the shaded area receives less sunlight, almost all vegetables are not planted. However, large fields have not been abandoned, and residents have grown vegetables that only require half or no sunlight. Such as onions, turnips, lettuce, leeks, asparagus, and so on.

Young people either go out to sea to fish and get in the city for a relatively cheap income. Or take some menial work in the city in exchange for payment. On the other hand, children and the elderly are almost the stewards of the fields. Even the old guys with inconvenient legs can still see them busy in the fields.

At dusk, the sun will visit the land for the last time.

"Wang! Woof! ”

The barking of a very energetic dog sounded in a courtyard, where an old woman was stringing up the onions she had returned, and after hearing the barking, she looked at the door with somewhat blurred eyes, and a kind smile bloomed on the wrinkled face.

"Ahh

"I'm back! Mom! ”

The person who responded to the old man was a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties. This man was not born tall, but the perennial fishing life not only brought him a dark complexion, but also exercised a physique far beyond ordinary people.

With a hearty smile, Tykis was clearly in a good mood, and since he accidentally rescued the dying imp a week ago, Tykis found that there was a considerable number of fish hovering around the place where he rescued the imp. That's a lot of money for the old guys he's fishing with. Today is also a bumper harvest!

Behind the two of them, the short old man glanced at his son, and calmly fed the only sheep in the family and ate forage.

"Where's Kaylin?"

"Ah, she went to the village chief's house for a meeting, really. Your wife is about to give birth, and you, the husband, have been running out all day long, no matter how many fish you catch, can you have more fish than your beloved wife? ”

"Hahahahaha, don't say that, Mom, isn't it six months before you give birth?"

Smiling lightly, Tykes walked into the house, untied the kettle he was carrying behind his back, and poured the clean water into the large tank at home. Then scooped out a spoonful of water and drank it all happily, and then put a spoonful of water into the wooden basin, only to see this swarthy man, carrying a basin of water, with a clean towel into the private room that had not been used for a long time.

"Yo! Have you woken up, boy! ”

The voice that was not an exaggeration was still harsh in Wren's ears today, and he didn't even look back as he leaned on the small bed, just staring blankly at the maple trees that were constantly falling leaves outside the window.

Tykes was unfazed by Wren's ignorance, and the kid hadn't spoken a word since he woke up with amazing recovery three days ago. Tykes had taken the boy for a deaf man, and when he found him, he was half dead of hunger, and his calf was almost necrotic, and the doctor said that if he delayed for a few more days, the young man would henceforth have to walk on one of his legs.

"I'm sorry, Kailin isn't here today, so I can only help you clean your wounds and hurt you...... I'm not going to apologize anyway. Hahahahaha! ”

That being said, Tykes carefully cleaned Wren's wounds as if he were afraid of hurting him, which looked extremely funny.

Looking at the withering maple leaves outside the window, Wren neither lost his memory due to his injuries, nor did he hit his head and became stupid, he just chose to be silent with extremely complicated feelings.

Not long ago, I was determined that I could live alone, and I could live well without relying on anyone. It's okay to be rescued now, if the person who saved him dislikes him for such trouble, then it's fine, but this family is hopelessly good, neither driving Ren away, nor thinking him of trouble, like that...... Such...... How can you repay such a favor?

Wren, overwhelmed.

Since his birth, he has not encountered such a thing. Clumsy, awkward Wren couldn't even say the words of thanks.

They are good people, while Wren is bad people. At least Wren was still thinking about how to ransack the poor home to pay for his journey after his injuries recovered. However, even if it is Wren, he must repay the kindness he owes, which is his only bottom line.

After several days of struggle, Tykes carefully cleaned the injury on Wren's calf and reapplied the ointment, and the man who had not stopped smiling sat down in front of Wren's bed.

Tykes, who is nearly forty years old, should be at the peak of his life, but this man who supports a family has grown a lot of gray hair. He restrained his smile, this seemingly stupid laughing and not a serious man, looked seriously at Wren who still ignored him.

"Anyway, I've eaten more than you for decades, and I know exactly what you're thinking like an awkward stinky boy. Today's world is not peaceful, why a kid like you went to sea, and I am not interested in what happened. ”

After a pause, Tykes' seriousness that had lasted for three seconds began to crumble, resuming his giggling smirk.

"Don't think too much, uncle still has the ability to carry a little kid! Stay in peace until you're healed! More on that later! Hahahahaha! ”

Looking at the man who was smirking at himself, Wren looked at his departing back with some headaches, to be honest, even if he was allowed to fight with Unan again, he didn't want to fall into such a caring. Thrown on the glacier continent to survive since he was a child, Rennes, who has been doing his own thing for 16 years, hates those so-called warm scenes the most. His heart was as cold to the bone as the snowy field of his youth.

"It's a real headache...... Hurry up and heal your wounds and get out of here. ”

Lying on the bed with a sigh, Wren calmly glanced at the table placed in the corner of the room, which was covered with dust, but only one picture frame was regularly cleaned. There was a young man with the same smile as Tykes on the frame, and judging from the dusty private room that had not been inhabited for a long time and the unused furnishings in the room, the fate of the young man Wren had already guessed. Not to mention that in this day and age, most civilians are not able to afford two children. Since Tykes and Kailin are ready to welcome a new life, the teenager in the photo is naturally ......

"Tsk, don't take others as a substitute, uncle......"
