In the northernmost part of the mainland, in the northern border military camp of Aoki Province, a group of young men dressed in black with strips of white cloth tied to their arms looked at a 'hill' from afar.

Most of the teenagers were seventeen or eighteen years old, and some of them had red eyes as if they had just cried, but they still held each other and stared firmly ahead. After a while, their vision suddenly brightened, and it was the 'hill' in the distance that was ignited.

Looking at the place that suddenly shone brightly, their hearts were very heavy, because it was the soldiers who died in the battle in the front to protect them. They had been taught to protect those who were weaker than themselves, but on the battlefield that had just ended, they were protected by what they considered to be weak soldiers.

Most of the people standing here once felt extremely lucky the moment they survived, because after all, he was not the one who died. But after seeing the figure that stood in front of them fall without hesitation, and seeing the eyes of the soldiers, they felt inferior, because most of them couldn't do this because of the empathy, although the first lesson they were brought into the barracks was to be told that the lives of the soldiers had priority.

A high-ranking general in white armor walked over, handed the torch in his hand to the guard beside him, and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Why, is this the generation that everyone calls the most promising?"

Everyone didn't reply, and the general walked directly through the pile of people they formed, and before leaving completely, his voice asked without a trace of fluctuation: "Anyway, it is you who will survive in the end, you have to think carefully, what are they standing in front of you for." You also have to think about what you can do next time, there is not much time left for you to be sad, and if you are blindly sad, there will be more soldiers who die in order to protect you next time. ”

Hearing the words of the white-clothed general, the high-achieving students of Aoki Country who came here to train all bowed their heads, they all thought that they were living in a peaceful era, but when they came here, they found that it was because someone protected them too well.

The long silence was finally broken by a boy who was only about 1.6 meters tall, he tightened the halberd in his hand, took a deep breath, and then turned around to leave. Seeing the back of him leaving, a young man with short hair, squatting on the ground, and unusually dazzling in this pile of people, took one last look at the 'volcano', and left. Then the more mature boy with a spear on his back also left without saying a word.

The three of them began, and the crowd gradually dispersed, and finally only a very burly boy remained in place, his eyes couldn't stop crying, from the first loud crying to weak sobbing.

And the generals who had left earlier, after secretly watching them all leave on a back slope, took a deep breath, and said to the guards next to him: "These little guys are much stronger than our first time." ”

The guard looked at the young man who was still crying and asked tentatively, "What should he do?"

"Let him cry, he's the one who is most like us in the bunch. ”

The next day, a short-haired boy who was out of step with the world, carrying a knife wrapped in a white cloth on his back, walked out of his military tent. The boy walked to the river, bent down and took some water in his hand, drank it into his stomach, and found a burly figure appear beside him.

The short-haired boy smiled and looked carefully at the boy who cried all night yesterday: "Yu Duo, are you crying all night?"

Yu Duo, who was teased by the teenager, showed an expression that did not match his figure, nodded shyly, and then his voice was hoarse but he couldn't speak, so he could only gesture with his hands. Seeing this, the short-haired young man hurriedly said, "Don't shout, the voice is not good, and it is dumb like this." ”

Yu Duo heard his words, hurriedly shut up, and then washed himself, his movements meticulous and meticulous like a woman. The short-haired boy next to him hurriedly coped with a few strokes, and the movements in his hands formed a tragic contrast with Yu Duo.

The short-haired young man quickly cleaned himself up, then wiped his hair, and said to Yu Duo: "Let's go, I'm going to go back to Los Angeles for a while, you have to help me take care of the store in the academy, I'll come back to check the accounts." ”

Without waiting for Yu Duo, who was still washing his face, to reply, the short-haired young man turned around and left, walking in the direction of the gate of the military camp. As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a spear and a halberd standing under the door. The owner of the two weapons saw him, and the young man who was one meter six tall looked at him and shouted, "Su Yi, come over here." ”

And although he was the same age, the more mature young man just looked at him coldly and didn't speak. Su Yi stepped forward, looked at the two of them and asked, "What, you two are also going to leave today?"

The short boy looked at him and nodded, still not getting a response from the other person, and Su Yi didn't mind. After learning that one of the two of them was going to go back to Kyoto to Wangjing directly, and the other was going to go to the mountains to continue the trial, Su Yi was ready to leave.

And the mature young man, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, saw that Su Yi was leaving, and asked in a serious tone: "Half a year later, you will come to participate in the big competition, right?"

Su Yi didn't look back, waved his hand, said of course, and then left directly. The short boy smiled easily, and the mature boy also smiled, but his face immediately became dignified, and he immediately looked at Su Yi's back and the boy on one side with hostility.

Su Yi is in the north of Aoki Country at the moment, and Los Angeles is in the south of Aoki, so the span is very large. It's just that he is not in a hurry, he just chooses a good direction and hurries slowly. In the end, he was still habitually lost, and Su Yi, who was in a deep forest, slaughtered a beast that wanted to sneak up on him, and shouted at the sky in collapse: "How did you get to this world, my road idiot is still there?"

After half a month, Su Yi, who had not even grown a short beard, finally walked out of the forest and came to a town.

The school uniform on his body is very recognizable in Aoki, so most of the caravans will not refuse him, and Su Yi, who has a lot of free time, lies on the roof of the caravan every day, basking in the sun comfortably. Although it was very comfortable, Su Yi didn't dare to fall asleep, these days in Su Yi's dreams, there are often young faces of the soldiers who died a few days ago. Although he pretended to be very calm on the surface, he was actually very tormented, and Su Yi, who was not too old in the two worlds combined, wanted to walk in the shadows, which was even more difficult.

"It's a big loss that the sun is so comfortable, but you can't sleep!"

Los Angeles, it was still a rainy day today, Su Yi bit the grass stalks folded down on the side of the road, and walked into the city slowly. The characteristic of Los Angeles is the perennial heavy rain, so Su Yi is not surprised, but he has no intention of hiding from the rain, so he raised his steps and walked out.

It's just that he found that he didn't know when an umbrella was on his head, Su Yi turned around in confusion, and what came into his eyes was a woman covered in jewels. Although the woman was dressed very luxuriously, her face was surprisingly plain and attractive, which contrasted sharply with the dress.

With a grin, Su Yi took the umbrella: "Old lady, why are you here?"

The woman smiled and stroked Su Yi's head with her fingers full of gold and jade rings: "Why, did you miss me, eldest thief." ”

A sentence full of accents made Su Yi's haze dissipate these days, Su Yi stepped forward and hugged the woman, and shouted loudly: "Of course I want to." ”

The people on the street were not surprised when they saw the movements of the two, after all, Su Yi's temperament was very clear to the people in the city. It's just that the picture that is very warm in the eyes of others was ruined by a roar, and a handsome middle-aged man rushed over from the woman's side, pushed away the two people who were hugging, pointed at Su Yi's nose and shouted: "Stinky boy, make my daughter-in-law cheap openly, when I don't exist?"

Su Yi ignored the angry man, walked to the woman again with an umbrella, and then took her and walked towards the center of the city demonstratively. The furious man looked at the two who had left, gritted his teeth, ran directly to the other side of the woman, and snatched her other arm as if he were competing for favor. In this way, the two men snatched the woman standing in the middle in the heavy rain, so that although both of them had umbrellas in their hands, they were all drenched, and only the woman's clothes showed no signs of wetness.

The three of them walked to a mansion like this, and the woman looked at the two who were still teasing, smiled, and saw that the two were already soaked, and quickly said, "Don't make trouble." ”

The two of them, who were still making a lot of noise just now, stopped talking at the same time, followed the woman honestly, and then walked into the gate of Xu's mansion. The woman walked in front, ready to take them to change clothes, who would have thought that Su Yi and the middle-aged man were behind her, quietly handing hands.

"You two go and change your clothes first, and then wait for dinner together at home in the evening. ”

After speaking, the woman, who didn't get a response, turned around and found that the two people who were making trouble were angry, and directly grabbed one person's ear with one hand, and then said fiercely: "Is there enough trouble?"

The two men who had been caught nodded hurriedly, then looked at each other viciously, and each went back to his room. Xue Qingge smiled when she saw the embarrassment of leaving the back of the two, in terms of force, she has long been unable to compare with these two men, but the few people she loves the most in this world spoil her unreservedly.

Su Yi returned to the familiar room, lay on the bed, and remembered that many years ago, a little girl who didn't have the courage to survive alone met a crying baby when she was about to despair. And a soul with adult memories, but turned into a baby, overwhelmed, meets a crying little girl. Two souls on the verge of collapse meet, but they embark on the path of mutual salvation.

After Su Yi saw Xue Qingge, his thoughts calmed down, and the fatigue of many days crept into his heart and made him fall asleep, but he muttered in his mouth before falling asleep: "Fortunately, I have you." ”

And Xue Qingge, who couldn't wait for him to come out for a long time, pushed the door directly into his room, sat on the side of his bed when he saw this, gently smoothed Su Yi's frowning brows, and said to her husband Xu Yan'an, who had changed his clothes next to him: "Thanks to him." ”
