Chapter 8: Orphans in the North

At this moment, a sharp and piercing eagle roar suddenly sounded in the air.

The Harrier has appeared! It swooped down from the sky towards the sea, stretched out its eagle talons, and grabbed Luo Xiaotian, who was about to be swept away by the vortex.

Cang Harrier put the rescued Luo Xiaotian on Chen An'an's fishing boat, and Chen An'an, who was frightened and panicked, burst into tears and threw himself at Luo Xiaotian with a smile.

The three of them didn't notice it, and a person got off the harrier's body.

"Uncle Qianji!"

Luo Xiaotian, who had escaped death, looked at Uncle Qianji in front of him, and he was a little embarrassed. I made such a big mistake and almost lost my life, and I will definitely be cleaned up by Uncle Qianji. He can kill people with one finger, and if he gives Luo Xiaotian a blow, at least he will be half-paralyzed.

"It's good that people are okay." Qianji said coldly, he didn't intend to scold Luo Xiaotian, but Luo Xiaotian had so much inner drama.

"Thank you, Uncle Qianji, for saving your life!" Chen Anan said to Qianji that since Luo Xiaotian escaped, she seems to have changed as a person, and she has never seen her so polite to people.

"Where are you? Don't scream! The voice was still cold and terrifying inside the mask.

Chen Anan was a little frightened, this mask was scary, and the voice was even more scary. That brutal willfulness seemed to have lost its courage at this moment, hiding in her heart and not daring to come out.

Yao Qingshu summoned the harrier with a spell, and then rode it to Luo Xiaotian's fishing boat. After seeing that Luo Xiaotian was fine, he saluted Qianji and called "Uncle Qianji".

Today's plan was to catch the "Kraken" that plagued the world, but now it seems that everything is in vain, and it has made a mess of several people. Especially Luo Xiaotian, at this moment, he felt that he had betrayed the trust of his senior brother and Chen An'an, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Suddenly, the sea was rolling. The huge boat, which had just disappeared, resurfaced and stopped motionless at sea. After a while, the overhead door opened, and a puff of black smoke came out, and then a human head was revealed.

"Harrier, up!" Luo Xiaotian saw the opportunity and let the harrier rush towards the exit of the giant boat. The harrier moved neatly, quickly pulled the person out with his claws, and brought it to Luo Xiaotian and them.

Seeing that this person was unkempt with smoke, Luo Xiaotian recognized him at a glance.

"Hey, it turned out to be the big housekeeper of the palace, people can't look good, it's really disrespectful!"

"Do you want me to kill him?" Qianji pointed his sword at the head of the palace steward.

"Uncle Qianji, calm down, calm down. You don't have to, haha. ”

"You know him?" Yao Qingshu asked suspiciously.

"This pig-headed butler, at the beginning, he said that we were thieves, but it turned out that the thief shouted to catch the thief! Bah, how many lives have you harmed over the years, how many windfalls have you collected, and how many tears this girl has just shed! The other Chen An'an seemed to be released from her heart again, and she turned her face faster than the weather on the sea.

As he spoke, the ship began to sink into the water, and the steward began to cry loudly, and the kraken finally showed its original form.

Several people took the butler to the port. The people gathered in the harbor witnessed what had just happened, and some people led the way in cheering and applauding, followed by a fierce applause. The fishermen who had bowed down to the Kraken began to bow down to them again.

Luo Xiaotian led the embarrassed old housekeeper to the King of Bei'an, who was stunned, and the effect of last night's medicine was still there, so he couldn't speak for the time being.

"The prince should know this person, right?" Luo Xiaotian asked.

"Isn't this Ah Fu? The steward in the palace. ”

"Then doesn't the prince need to explain?"

"This king doesn't know how to explain, it turns out that he is a kraken who has been doing evil for many years!"

"Does the prince really not know, or pretend not to know? Where did he build the great ship on his own, and how to explain the treasures in your secret room? ”

"Xiaotian, what are you talking about? This king has no idea what huge boats or treasures are. ”

"Lord Wang, he really doesn't know, all this is done by me, and the Kraken is me." The tearful Ah Fu interrupted the argument between the two. "Now, I don't want to hide it. In the past few decades, I have lived without a person, and I don't even know who I am. It's Afu, it's the Kraken, it's Murari. ”

"Your name is Mulari? This is the name of the Northern Guard. King Bei'an was still puzzled at the moment.

"Lord Wang, the old slave thanks you and the old lady for taking care of you for decades, Ah Fu is a shameless villain, Ah Fu is ungrateful."

Ah Fu knelt on the ground, wept bitterly, and recounted all kinds of past events in front of everyone:

More than 30 years ago, Ah Fu was still called Mulari. At that time, the weak Northern Patriotic State was bullied by neighboring countries. Residents along the border are often looted by the military of neighbouring countries, leading to an upsurge of people who are starved and clothed, including the Murari family. His parents starved to death on the way to beg, leaving only the young Murari.

Murazh, who was only a teenager, met an officer of the Northern Patriotic Empire, who gave him a cooking cake and followed the officer to the barracks. Later, because of his young age, he was selected to be trained as an undercover agent, and since then he has received inhuman training.

A few years later, they were sent to the kingdom of Nanyu. Mulari's task was to approach Zhao Kangyi, who was still a marshal at that time. Murari was very smart and knew that Zhao Kangyi's wife was kind-hearted. He often guarded the food that his wife wanted to eat when he came back from going out, and over time, his wife saw that he was well-behaved and sensible, so she took him into the house to do miscellaneous labor, and named him Ah Fu.

In the past few years, Ah Fu has become Zhao Kangyi's personal servant, and slowly became a housekeeper again. Soon, the two countries were engaged in a fierce war over the territory of the north. Since then, informants have often come to him to ask for information, and if they don't provide information, they will expose the identity of his Beiwei secret agent. Ah Fu had no choice but to keep sending them information. The news that Nanyu obtained the goddess was passed on by him. Including news of the retreat of the Northern Army, the deployment of various units of the army. With this information, the Northern Guards launched a surprise attack, which led to the defeat of Zhao Kangyi.

Later, there was a truce between the two countries. There were fewer and fewer informants from the Northern Guard Kingdom who contacted Ah Fu, until the Northern Guard seemed to have forgotten his existence. By chance, he met a dying agent of the Northern Guard, and before he died, he handed him a map, which was a map of the location of the Wave Ship provided by the goddess. The location happened to be in the South China Sea, and it happened that Zhao Kangyi also arrived in Lingyang City after leaving office. Ah Fu secretly hid the map, found the boat of the waves, and found that it was extremely powerful, so he began to use it to do evil. It just so happened that Zhao Kangyi built a secret passage in order to connect the temple, but it has been deserted. The semi-enclosed crater port in the back mountain of the palace has created an excellent geographical location for him to park the boat.

Since then, Ah Fu has spread the news of the Siren on the streets, and everyone has paid tribute to him out of fear. It's just that most of those possessions are not used by himself. In Lingyang City, and several nearby towns, there were many Northern Patriotic prisoner villages, which added up to tens of thousands of people. He will give them the money he has plundered. I wanted to resign to the king of Bei'an this year to retire, but I didn't expect that this last sea festival was exposed by Luo Xiaotian and arrested.

After listening to Ah Fu's statement. The mystery in Luo Xiaotian's heart was finally solved, and now it seems that he has misunderstood King Bei'an. It's just that I didn't expect this kraken to be so harmful to the world because of his poor background.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Lingyang, and all the people of Nanyu. I, Zhao Kangyi, the king of Bei'an, don't notice it! led to the house slaves in the house, and they have been doing evil for many years! Do so many things that hurt nature and reason, and hurt people's lives! Troubled my Nanyu country, and harmed my Lingyang City for more than 20 years! To my Nanyu people are frightened, and the people of Lingyang are killed! Fortunately, with the help of the young hero, this demon appeared in its original form. Today, this king will take this thief as a street corrector. In order to release my Nanyu law, promote my Nanyu monarchy! ”

The king of Bei'an calmed the angry people, and his voice was like a bell. He drew out the sword of the guards beside him, raised his sword and slashed it, and in an instant, a human head rolled to the ground, and blood rained down.

"Settle my people, keep my peace!" The king of Bei'an raised his bloodied sword and shouted.

For twenty years, the king of Bei'an has not even touched a sword. This murderous aura made his hands tremble slightly, and his lips were bitten and oozing blood.

"When the wicked are punished, the heroes are praised. Today, this young man Luo Xiaotian, and his friends, risked their lives to eradicate demons. The people and villagers in my city should take Luo Xiaotian and others as the leading examples, and pass on the praise from generation to generation to encourage our generation! ”

The king of Bei'an is really not old, and his majesty is undiminished. Although the toxicity of the medicine has not yet been solved, it can still raise its arms and shout, which is quite a trend of the return of the king.

Although it is said that in addition to the "Kraken", how dare Luo Xiaotian be the dominant at this moment, and his own removal of the Kraken is completely just a small skill of carving insects. For the praise of the king of Bei'an and the warm invitation of the residents, Luo Xiaotian felt that he was too much to bear.

After Luo Xiaotian pushed back, the king of Bei'an had to agree to let them leave, and helped to calm the excited people, "Don't disturb the peace of the heroes, the young heroes are very tired of eliminating demons." Folks, when this festival is not over, you can celebrate it well, and in the future, the Sea Festival will be renamed the Sea Heir Festival! How is it? When everyone heard the name change of the festival, they cheered in unison. After all, although the Kraken has been removed, this festival is still there, and you can celebrate the harvest and commemorate the heroes.

At the time of parting, Luo Xiaotian always felt as if there was still unfinished business in his heart, and when he raised his eyes and saw that the king of Bei'an was rubbing his temples, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. Then he said to Yao Qingshu: "Senior brother, please solve the prince's head disease." ”

"Lord Wang, please follow me to the back of the screen." After Yao Qingshu invited the king of Bei'an into the screen, he sat down, performed a set of mental methods, and opened the gourd magic weapon on his body. I saw a puff of green smoke floating from the mouth of the magic weapon, which led to the mouth and nose of the King of Bei'an, and entered the body with his breathing.

Yao Qingshu put away the magic weapon, and the king of Bei'an jumped up easily, and instantly felt that his spirit had returned to normal.

"Lord Wang, Xiao Sheng suddenly remembered that there was one more thing to ask for." What Luo Xiaotian remembered most was the purpose of coming down the mountain this time, that is, to find clues to his mother. So he told the king of Bei'an that he wanted to take out his mother's relics from the money village.

After hearing this, King Bei'an immediately nodded and said that he was willing to help, and asked Luo Xiaotian to wait for the good news.

Luo Xiaotian and his entourage dismissed the goodwill of the king of Bei'an and the people in the city. After separating from the king of Bei'an, he walked outside Lingyang City. Qianji said goodbye halfway, he knew that he couldn't take Luo Xiaotian with him now, so he left alone. Chen Anan is like a happy fart, wherever Luo Xiaotian goes, she has to follow behind her. Yao Qingshu is naturally still a stuffy oil bottle, following Luo Xiaotian and the two all the way.

"An An, where is your home? Do you want to follow us back to Apocalypse Peak? Luo Xiaotian asked Chen An'an beside him.

"I've said it all, the whole world is my home. I said I'm the same as you, do you believe me? ”

"An An, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be presumptuous."

"What does it matter! I'm just a happy little orphan. At least I have my adoptive father who cares about me, and I'm not as boring as you are, trapped on that mountain for so many years. Ha ha! ”

"When I was a child, I used to sneak down the mountain and sit in my mother's house in Lingyang City. Always looking in the direction of the door, imagining that she would appear suddenly. Sometimes, I waited for two days and two nights until Master and my brother found me and took me back. ”

"One day, she'll come back, I'm sure. Didn't you ask where my home was? See the road ahead? The one on the left is going to my house, and I haven't been back to see them for a long time, do you want to go with me? ”

"That's up to my brother, he'll tell Master. Then I was grounded in the main hall and recited the "Yin Kui Mantra". ”

"That stuffy bottle turned out to be a stingy ghost, huh!"

"Don't speak ill of me, I'll listen. If you want to go, you will go, Uncle Qianji is right, you grow up, do what you want. I agree with what Uncle Qianji said. ”

"Then listen to the stuffy oil bottle, let's go."

Chen Anan ran ahead, arms outstretched. Like a happy bird that can fly.

After walking for about an hour or two, a small mountain village appeared in front of them, with more than a dozen thatched houses. From a distance, I saw an old woman spinning yarn at the door of her house, and a few little babies playing in the open space. The few people didn't even see a young man in the village.

"Sister An An......"

The playful children ran towards Chen An'an excitedly, and Chen An'an immediately greeted him, opened his arms, and hugged several children together.

"Come, come, come here, sister, there is sugar here. Xiao Chunbao, this is your puppet doll. And petunias, this is the slingshot you want, my sister will tell you again, you can't fight birds anymore, you know? Well...... I look, and there are empty bamboos with ears of wheat. It's too much, wait a minute, sister, I can't remember who's who......"

Luo Xiaotian and Yao Qingshu watched Chen An'an from a distance, holding a shoulder bag like a treasure chest to distribute toys and snacks to the children. Luo Xiaotian seemed to have understood why she looked so happy, so rude, and so unreasonable. If Chen An'an is a flower that opens freely in the field, then Luo Xiaotian is a sword forged by others. Flowers and swords, a poetic picture.

"Why did you give them such cute names?"

Seeing the happy appearance of the children, Luo Xiaotian also walked next to Chen Anan and helped her sort out and distribute these toys and snacks.

"Xiao Chunbao, it's because I met her when the spring flowers bloomed. Petunia is because he often grazes cattle in the mountains......"

"Are there any other children? So, is all the money in the gambling house to feed them? ”

"They are orphans of prisoners of war in the Northern Patriotic Kingdom, and there are many such villages in the Southern Yu Kingdom. There are tens of thousands of people in several towns around Lingyang City, their ancestors were captured more than 20 years ago, and they were captured to work as coolies in Nanyu Kingdom, many of them are actually just ordinary people and not soldiers. When the war stopped, they were unable to return, so they had to hide in the mountains and forests to build simple villages. ”

"These people are too innocent, the Southern Yu Kingdom can't tolerate them, and the Northern Wei Kingdom doesn't accept them."

"Actually, these people are already very lucky. I once saw a couple with a toddler, and the couple were killed in the street by Nanyu soldiers, leaving only the crying child sitting on the street. They were treated differently just to get a steamed bun, just because they had a prisoner tattoo on their foreheads, and no one cared about the death of two captives of the Northern Guard on the street. The child was too young, and he was taken off the street by a kind rich businessman, and he was lucky to have picked up a life. ”

Luo Xiaotian never thought that there were so many injustices in Lingyang City alone, and how many innocent people were in this world. In his memory, the world in the reflection was equal between people.
