Chapter 14: The First Journey
A living and delicate person will find people who are really good to themselves in small things, because the inadvertent actions of others are a manifestation of emotions.
Hua Xi's family always takes care of Xing Zeyuan as if he were their own child, Xing Zeyuan is leaving tomorrow, and their family has arranged a dinner party early. There weren't many people at this dinner, but the dishes were just as good as the day they said goodbye to Henai. It's not a matter of cost, it's about heart!
Xing Zeyuan drank some rice wine with Hanaxi Ichiro, and Tianmei Meijing on the side kept saying things like being careful outside and paying attention to safety. Hui Xuezi is still young, and she doesn't know what is painful, she looks forward to every delicious meal, and when she is full, she is satisfied. I don't know the meaning of this meal.
After a meal, Xing Zeyuan went home almost in tears. Tonight was his last night, and he wanted to take a better look at his cabin, but he went to bed early. Because tomorrow, when he gets his identity card, he will get up early and travel far away.
I thought it would take me a long time to pack my things, but in just ten minutes, everything was ready. A suit of soft armor and armor strapped to his sturdy body, a one-meter-high backpack containing everything he needed. With a knife tied to the outside of his thigh, a black dagger tied to his back waist, and Mo Xing on his left hand, this is all his equipment.
Carrying a lantern, before dawn, Xing Zeyuan delivered a letter to the government mailbox. He also put a letter in the wooden box at the door of the boutique blacksmith shop, as long as anyone who has ordered something here knows it, write what he wants to do on the stationery, and put it into the wooden box with a deposit of two hundred world coins. When the two men in the boutique blacksmith shop are busy with the things at hand, they will naturally come to pick it up.
When Xing Zeyuan was an apprentice here, he liked to see if there was a letter in the wooden box, and now, he has put a lot of his savings in this wooden box.
When he made that short sword, he still owed Grandpa Tie 3,000 world coins, and now he has paid back 1,000, and the rest can only be exchanged in the future.
He glanced affectionately at the stove outside, he had burned it here, but the next time he touched it, I don't know when.
The last letter was held in Xing Zeyuan's arms, and he went home with a lantern, and at that moment the domineering person appeared in the room again.
"Woke up so early?"
"Well, you're right, there's a lot of things I have to experience to make myself stronger. ”
"Oh, you actually called me 'you' today?"
"If I remember correctly, I've called you that before!"
The water valve at home has been turned off, and from now on, he will leave here, and the next time he comes back, maybe the water here will be muddy.
Hahahaha~
"Just kidding, don't take it seriously!"
Xihe glanced at the bed with only one plank left, and couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Why are you so tidy up here?"
"This is my home, and I'll come back here one day, and I'll use these things again. ”
"You're frugal! Okay, you can think whatever you want, but don't forget, where you're going!"
Since Xing Zeyuan knew that he wanted to be a mercenary, he naturally knew his goal, and if he wanted to defeat He Nai, he had to become the elite of mercenaries. Four years later, there will be a martial arts hall competition in the Western Regions, and that will be the opportunity for him to fight against He Nai, and in order to achieve this goal, he needs to go to the holy land of mercenaries - the Great Mercenary City of Heishui Prefecture.
Xihe had already told him all these things in detail, and Xing Zeyuan also had a plan in his heart.
"I will find my companions and go to Blackwater State step by step, maybe one day, I can defeat you!"
Children are young and frivolous, not because of arrogance, but because they have dreams and they firmly believe that they will succeed. However, reality will always trample on their dreams, and then make them retreat from the stage of young people without their bodies.
"I hope so. ”
Xing Zeyuan stretched out his left hand, logically speaking, he should stretch out his right hand to shake hands, otherwise it would be disrespectful. But Xing Zeyuan wanted to use the ink star in his left hand to touch Xi and the ink star in his left hand.
After shaking hands, Xing Zeyuan returned to the day he graduated from the academy, and the thirty-nine people in their class stood at the door of the academy and bowed to the academy, thanking the academy for teaching them so much. And now, he also bowed, thanking Xi He for teaching him enough for a lifetime in the past ten days.
"Go ahead, keep it up, I hope that one day, you can become a supernova in the mercenary world, and then you will have to return the ink star to me. ”
"Good!"
With a casual wave of his hand, Xing Zeyuan couldn't see through the man in front of him, but Xing Zeyuan remembered that he was kind to himself.
"The first piece has already been played, and in order to win this move, you have to move a lot of pieces. Even if I want to exchange my own chess pieces for the enemy's chess pieces, I will not hesitate to do so!"
Beichen Xihe sat in place after Xing Zeyuan locked the door, holding the handle of an ordinary wooden chair with both hands, as if he was sitting on the throne of a god. Xi He's eyes were scorching, and the sun circle in it seemed to see the end of the chess game in his hand.
And Xing Zeyuan, as one of his chess pieces, was still walking on the eleventh street of the quiet Arbor City, and did not stop until he reached the south gate of the Arbor City by the main road.
"Little Star!"
Only the Hua Xi family came to see him off, and the whole family came, and the twenty-three people were all reluctant. He Nai grew up with them, and Xing Zeyuan also grew up with them. Now, they have left here and are heading out for the wider sky, they are young eagles with wings spread, and one day they will become the eagle kings of the cliffs.
Xing Zeyuan wanted to cry for the first time, he looked at the people in front of him who seemed to be attending his wedding, they had collected nectar under the pink cherry blossom trees, built a few snowmen on a snowy winter day, and hung up the sunny dolls they made themselves when the rain was drizzling.
The time of childhood is too short to look back, he has not grown up, but he is no longer young. When a few scars were cut from He Nai's face, Xing Zeyuan made up his mind to protect everything he loved.
"It looks sturdy in this soft armor!"
Ichiro patted Xing Zeyuan on the shoulder, tilted his head and said to Meijing, as if he was showing off his sturdy son to others.
"What a mercenary. ”
Meijing smiled softly.
"Don't be too long-winded, you must take care of yourself and take care of your money when you are outside. ”
"If you have difficulties, write to us, and we will always be your strong backing. No matter what kind of difficulties you have outside, we will help you!"
Ichiro rarely said sensational words, and when He Nai left, he didn't say it, but now he said it. The emotion that permeated the air made Xing Zeyuan's nose sour, he wanted to cry, but now the tears were hanging on his lower eyelashes.
"I've got it all planned, and I'm going to be fine. ”
"Okay! Let's go! It's our tradition to see you off, and when you disappear in front of our eyes, we'll go back!"
"Hmm!"
A touch of red glow slowly appeared in the sky, and Xihe returned to the Sakura No. 1 Hotel to fall asleep. Under the beautiful morning sun, all life was awakened again, and Arbor City slowly woke up. In order to let everyone go back earlier, Xing Zeyuan walked quickly.
"Goodbye, brother!"
Hui Xuezi was still shouting at his departing figure.
"This kid is about to cry!"
"I'm really reluctant!"
Despite the fact that yesterday they had already said a lot, they were reluctant. Meijing took 5,000 yuan for Xing Zeyuan, and originally she said that she wanted to take 10,000 yuan, but was stopped by Ichiro. Going out to practice, since there is the word "experience", it is not as simple as going to play. Ichiro and Meijing still wanted to say a few more words to Xing Zeyuan, but when they saw that he was about to cry, they thought of Xing Zeyuan's temperament, so they asked him to leave quickly.
Now seeing the shadow of Xing Zeyuan walking quickly, they sighed, and when they looked back, they saw a letter under the pillar of the south gate. It reads "To: Huaxi Home".
"This kid, he didn't take any money!"
As soon as it was opened, there were neat four thousand world coins inside, but when Meijing looked at the road, Xing Zeyuan's figure had disappeared. It has always been their custom to see people from afar out of their sight.
"There's no need to chase it, he took a thousand world coins, which is to tell us that we have received it. ”
Forty pieces of world coins are on the edge, and there is a letter paper folded three times.
"Uncle Ichiro, Aunt Mijing, I have always been the most taken care of by you, I'm leaving! It is said that parting is for a better encounter, and when we meet next time, I will definitely become very strong. When I'm away, I hope you all take care of your health, and Hui Yukiko, she likes to steal food, but don't spoil your stomach......"
"Hey!"
Before she finished reading it, Meijing cried, and Hui Xuezi pouted with red eyes, why did she still say that people were stealing food!
"Goodbye, Arbor City!"
Looking back at the corner of Arbor City that disappeared from his eyes, the beautiful city had his first memory in the Starry World. In the future, whether he is old or not, the memories here will always be young.
This is the first time Xing Zeyuan has gone far away, he has been to several cities around him, but there is no farther one, he walked a hundred kilometers, the day has almost passed, he ate some cakes, it is now May, and the weather is not cold. Xing Zeyuan found a slightly more comfortable place, covered with a blanket, pillowed a big bag, and looked at the stars between the gaps in the leaves.
"I wonder where my companions are?"
When he thought of the lineup of the king mercenary group that he had known since he was a child, he was a little yearning, when would he have a group of people around him?
Maybe two years later, Xing Zeyuan would feel funny when he thought of himself being so melancholy now, but on this night when no one was around, he slept in the wilderness alone, with only a clear goal and a vague destination in his heart.
It was his first time away from home, and he was afraid that he would lose his things and that something would happen to him. But because he had faith in his heart, he was no longer afraid.
After a night of fear, he finally fell asleep slowly after he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He had slept in his own bed last night, but today he had been accompanied by the wind in the woods, and from the moment he left Arbor City, he had finally begun to get stronger.
During his years of becoming stronger, every day was full of trials.
