Chapter 4: The Gears of Fate

It's winter, and the streets are a little more solemn. Pedestrians walked with their hands in their sleeves and hunched up. The trees had lost their leaves, bare, without their former color, and the heavens and the earth were gray.

The small inns at the ferry are overcrowded, and travelers want to cross the river before it freezes, otherwise there will be a long delay.

In the prosperous place of logistics, the inn is small but has complete facilities. The guest rooms are also divided into three categories: "heaven, earth, and people".

The number of people and the number of people are multi-room, more economical, the number of days is a single room, located on the second floor of the inn, specially prepared for guests who do not like noisy, but the price is more expensive than the first two rooms combined.

Most of the people who come and go are business travelers, and there are no repeat customers, so there are few people living in Tianzihao.

However, in the past few days, there is a pair of brothers and sisters who have stayed in Tianzihao, and the shopkeeper is very happy.

In the Tianzi room, a young man stood by the window.

The young man is eighteen or nineteen years old, and he is handsome. Dressed in an azure robe, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and on the back, like other men, with long braids, and a forehead that is not shaved, but has neat bangs.

In this era, a man who dares to grow hair in front of his forehead must have an extraordinary family background, and his gold-rimmed glasses also prove this.

The location of the Tianzi room is very good, the window is the backyard of the inn, the yard is a firewood room and a stable, and there are not many horses at the ferry, so the backyard is very quiet.

Outside the courtyard is the big river, and the wide river surface is full of thousands of sails, which makes people open-minded.

The young man looked at the scenery outside the window, and his frowning brows gradually loosened.

"When you cross the river, it will freeze. That should get rid of them. "The youth thought.

"Brother, brother, what are you looking at?"

The young man turned around and put on a smile: "Lily, my brother is looking at the big ship outside." ”

Lily is 6 years old this year, with red lips and white teeth, long hair and waist-length, which is the age of Lori, who everyone loves. She took her brother's hand and asked him to hold her to see the scenery.

The young man picked up his sister, pointed to the big boat on the river, and told interesting allusions to make her happy. The two of them had a great time, the room was full of fires and a warm atmosphere.

Suddenly, Lily pointed with her little hand: "Brother, who is that?" Why are you lying on the ground? ”

The young man looked down at Lily's hand, and a thin figure was shrunk in a haystack, covered with a piece of broken felt, covering his face, and only snow-white hair was visible, thinking that it was an old man.

"Brother, isn't that old man cold?"

The young man frowned, if he didn't see it, he could pretend that it hadn't happened, since he saw it, there was no reason not to care.

"Lily, you wait here, brother go see that old man."

"Well, my brother is the best." Lily smiled.

The young man scratched the bridge of his sister's nose and turned to go downstairs.

***********************************************************************

The young man stood in front of the haystack with some surprise.

I thought it was an old man and lifted the felt, but it was unexpectedly a teenager.

The boy was fourteen or fifteen years old, thinly dressed, wearing a strange dress with a hat on the upper body, and canvas trousers on the lower body, the style had never been seen before, and the shoes were broken boots from somewhere, and the front was rotten and the two toes were exposed.

The boy covered his face with the hood on his clothes, breathed evenly, and slept soundly. The unkempt white hair is unusually glaring in the haystack.

Thirty-nine days later, he could still fall asleep outside, and the young man was secretly surprised in his heart.

The young man was about to wake up the young man, but the other party suddenly opened his eyes.

The emerald green pupils, glowing with a cold brilliance, frightened the young man to retreat again and again.

The boy sat up, sleepy-eyed. He rubbed his face with his hands and muttered, "Didn't you say that I would sleep until night!" I know how to kill people in my dreams? ”

The young man did not answer, and the young man did not ask, as if what he had just said was just a complaint. He stood up and tugged at it, wrapping the tattered felt that had been used as a quilt around him. With his left hand, he groped through the haystack, pulled out a broken baggage, walked to the sink in the stable, wiped the water in it on his face a few times, turned his head and walked to the antechamber.

"Well, I'm not the second shopkeeper." The young man came back to his senses and hurriedly accosted him.

"Huh?!"

"I saw someone sleeping here upstairs and was a little curious, so I came down to take a look"

"Your explanation is very annoying," the young man yawned and groped with his right hand behind his back, and only then did the young man notice that he was carrying a sword on his back!

"Wait! Listen to me! I'm trying to help you find a place to sleep! ”

"Thanks, let me beat you up, and I'll be content." As he spoke, the boy prepared to do it.

"Wait a minute"

"Brother!"

The two people in the courtyard looked up at the same time, and Lily was lying on the windowsill, swaying back and forth, thinking that she was stepping on a stool, and her body was unstable.

The young man was shocked: "Li Nali! Go down! ”

Li Nali was very obedient and really went down - from the window.

Still head down.

The youth rushed to Li Nali, but it was too late. At this moment, he deeply hated the weakness of his body. If you usually read less books and are less busy with business

In front of him, the white-haired young man had already held Li Nali in his arms.

"Little angel, do you have to use your face to land to feel complete?" The white-haired boy playfully pointed at the tip of Li Nali's nose.

Li Nali was not afraid, as if she was just playing a game just now, she hugged the white-haired boy with a grin, and her little face was attached to the white-haired boy's face: "Big brother, you are running so fast!" ”

"I'll go! The lethality is so strong! The young man hurriedly put down the little girl and covered his heart with his hand, "Slow 'Li, Na, Li'??? ”

The young man had already embraced his sister in his arms, and he was frightened by what had just happened. There was a sound of footsteps in his ears, and when he looked up, the white-haired young man looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

"Brother Ren, I think we still need to communicate a little more on the topic just now."

*********************************************************************

The fire was strong and the room was warm.

The white-haired boy with angry eyebrows just now also changed to a relaxed expression at this time. He enjoyed the warmth of the place.

Li Nali sat in her brother's arms, her big eyes rolling around, and she looked curiously at the person who had saved her.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Xianhua. Full-time food, part-time confidential. The white-haired boy spoke.

This opening remarks are so big that the young man has never seen such a proud person to ask for food.

"Under Li Xiansheng." After the young man finished speaking, he saw Li Xianhua's strange face, his eyes widened and he looked him back and forth from head to toe, and he could see that he had doubts about his name.

"Brother Instant? Is there anything wrong? ”

"It's nothing" Li Xianhua's heart was full of 10,000 divine beasts, and he felt as if he had just been blown up by the king as soon as he came out of a straight line, "Brother Tai's name is very special."

"Where, where, see and laugh." The young man named Li Xiansheng pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled shyly.

Born with a mocking aura, Li Xianhua stared at Li Xiansheng, and forcibly did not draw his sword.

"This is the sister-in-law, Li Nali." Li Xiansheng was full of smiles, and his voice softened into a sheep sound.

"Here's the problem!" Li Xianhua looked at the little girl in the young man's arms.

"Is this Li Nali 'that' Li Nali?"
