Holding the somewhat warm badge of glory in his hand, Ma Tao still can't believe that this is true, but the reality is in his hand, the truth, he can't believe it, the only thing that is not sure is whether the owner of this badge is this uncle or his spouse.

"What are you doing? Are we all waiting for you? ”

Xiao Jinzi didn't see Ma Tao come back for a long time and came to him, but found that he was alone here in a daze.

"Come and see this," Ma Tao handed him the badge of glory in his hand.

"What's that? Badge of Glory!! Gold-tiered? Where did you get it? After Xiao Jinzi took it, he didn't care, thinking it was a hand-toy object, but when he saw it clearly, he was startled, and turned it over and looked at it several times.

"Picked up from the ground"

"Don't make a fuss, why can't I pick this thing, even if it's such a big piece of gold, it's impossible"

"It's really picked up from the ground, maybe, it's the uncle's"

"Just that expressionless guy! Got this thing? Xiao Jinzi didn't believe it at all, and looked at the gold glory badge in his hand again, frowning.

"Did you find anything?" Ma Tao saw his strange appearance and knew that he should have seen something wrong.

"This badge is real, but it should be a long time ago, and it is slightly different from our current badge," Xiao Jinzi finished speaking, took out his badge and began to compare it carefully.

"Look!"

Xiao Jinzi pointed to several different carvings on the badge and said, "The font here is bigger than ours, and this one, huh?" Someone has worn out the place where the name is engraved? ”

"Otherwise, what do you think I'm struggling with?" Seeing that he had finally discovered the problem, Ma Tao glared at him angrily.

"But why did he wear off his name, it's a symbol of supreme glory," the little gold man wondered, and he didn't understand what the owner of the badge was doing so.

"Maybe the owner of the badge doesn't want people to know, or maybe they want to forget something?" Ma Tao blinked, and after thinking about it, he felt that only these two explanations could make sense.

"Then why didn't he just throw it away, wouldn't it be better?" Little Gold flipped the gold badge in his hand back and forth.

"Well, you need to ask him personally......" Ma Tao said, looking at the dilapidated concrete room with the lights on it.

Is this gold badge Uncle Baichuan's? Does he still know about water monsters? Who the hell is he? Ma Tao also muttered in his heart.

"Brother Tao, let's go eat first, Sister Lan Xi is still waiting for you, you can take this away"

Xiao Jinzi had enough of playing, and directly threw the things in his hand back to Ma Tao, this thing was not his own, it was useless to him, and he didn't bother to think about these problems.

Ma Tao nodded, put the gold badge in his arms, and the two left the edge of the grove together.

Drinking the water monster wine, eating the little barbecue, and listening to the braggadocio of the little gold, the dinner lasted for nearly two hours before it ended, and it was the most enjoyable drink in this time.

After cleaning up the leftovers, it was already more than ten o'clock at night, and the lights had already been turned off in Uncle Baichuan's cement room, and the room was dark and quiet, presumably already asleep.

Xiao Jinzi also drank a lot of wine, drunk and unconscious, Ma Tao helped him into the tent, covered him with a quilt and left.

"Do you still have a vigil?"

Su Lanxi also drank a little wine, but not much, his face was red, and he looked at Ma Tao in a daze.

"Outside, no matter at any time, danger may occur, vigil is essential, you go to sleep first, I don't want to sleep for the time being" Ma Tao stroked her hair, looked at her beautiful face, and said to her gently.

"But I want you to accompany me..."Su Lanxi pouted a little disappointed.

"Good, you go and have a good rest" Ma Tao couldn't help but say, picked up Su Lanxi and sent her to another tent, and the latter took the opportunity to put his arms around Ma Tao's neck.

After lulling Su Lanxi to sleep, Ma Tao came out of the tent.

The bonfire had been extinguished, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness, except for the silvery moonlight that illuminated the land, covering everything with a mysterious layer of silver sand.

Looking up at the starry night sky, listening to the chirping of crickets around him, Ma Tao took out the badge again in a daze.

I don't know when, a sense of crisis suddenly appeared, which made Ma Tao's hairs stand on end, at some point, people will have a sense of impending danger, or, it can be called a sixth sense, believe it or not, this feeling has saved Ma Tao several times.

It was a feeling of being targeted by a beast, almost subconsciously, Ma Tao put his hand on the newly bought P1911 on his waist, but the sense of crisis suddenly disappeared, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ma Tao's forehead was already covered with a dense layer of fine sweat.

"Haven't slept yet?" Behind him, a middle-aged man's voice rang out.

Ma Tao's tight hand slowly relaxed, this voice was from Uncle Baichuan, Ma Tao was very sure.

"If you can't sleep, you keep vigil, isn't your uncle also sleeping?"

Ma Tao stood up and slowly turned around to look, and sure enough, Uncle Baichuan was standing about five meters behind him, and the whole person was hidden in the darkness that the moonlight could not shine, and only a vague and hazy shadow could be seen.

"It's tiring, isn't it?" Uncle Baichuan took two steps forward, exposing himself to the moonlight, and still watched Ma Tao speak with that expressionless face.

"Since it's a habit, there's no tiredness or tiredness" Ma Tao looked at him, showing a smile, but he kept warning in his heart.

"You're busy, I'm leaving" Uncle Baichuan observed Ma Tao for a while, left this sentence, and turned around to leave.

"Are you looking for something?"

Ma Tao suddenly spoke, and Uncle Baichuan, who was just about to leave, was stunned and froze.

"No, I'll come out to the toilet"

Uncle Baichuan didn't turn around, and replied with his back to Ma Tao.

"Your shoes are stained with a lot of mud, which means that the time has been coming out, there is still dew on your pants, and the air is humid in the mountains and forests at night, you must have gone into the woods, right? It's so late, what can make you anxious to come out in the middle of the night" Ma Tao asked staring at Uncle Baichuan's back.

In fact, Ma Tao can also be said to be curious and scared at the moment, if the uncle in front of him is really a gold hunter, then his combat power, even if he is bare-handed, is definitely above Ma Tao, if he is not the owner of the gold badge, then he will be even more terrifying, the guy who can kill the gold hunter is definitely a legendary-level existence, the legend and even epic characters that Ma Tao can know, the last thing that appeared, it was a hundred years ago, this is the original memory of Xiao V, The only warrior who dares to ask this sentence is that he has not offended him, no matter how powerful he is, he can't kill people casually, unless he is a perverted murderer.

"I said, I'll come out to go to the toilet" Uncle Baichuan still didn't turn around, still repeating what he just said, and even his tone didn't change.

"Are you looking for this?" Ma Tao's palms were sweaty, but he still took out the gold badge and threw it at him.

This uncle looks ordinary, but now Ma Tao can clearly feel an invisible coercion, and the suppressed Ma Tao is even difficult to breathe.

"It's not my thing, if you like it, take it"

Uncle Baichuan glanced at the gold badge on the ground, never looked at it again, turned around and left.

At the same time, the coercion suddenly disappeared, and Ma Tao collapsed to the ground and couldn't move.

It's terrible, it's like being on the verge of death all the time to relief, for the first time I feel that a person's aura can be so strong, and he can easily defeat the opponent without even fighting, just a few minutes, it's just a kind of torture, and he even lost the courage to resist, Ma Tao absolutely believes that Uncle Baichuan in front of him can ask for his life anytime and anywhere, and he can't even make a sound.

I also blame myself for being stupid, how can ordinary people stay here to guard monsters that need to be suppressed by giant cannons, and even, they can spend so many years here in peace, these are all strength.

Ma Tao, who was lying on the ground, couldn't stop panting, calming his pounding heartbeat.

"Baichuan is such a character, don't be surprised" Ma Tao was lying on the ground to slow down, and another woman's voice appeared, almost frightened him, and went upstream.

How is this endless, so exciting, do the masters of this world like to travel at night in the middle of the night?

Turning her head slightly, the lame middle-aged woman she had seen during the day appeared on the other side, obviously watching the whole incident there for a long time, Uncle Baichuan called her Lingling, and I don't know if it was because she was here, Uncle Baichuan chose to leave.

"The gold badge, what many people dream of" The middle-aged woman named Lingling limped and picked up the gold badge that Ma Tao threw on the ground, blew it lightly with her mouth, and said with a regretful face.

"It's a pity that it's ownerless..."

Ma Tao didn't want to be looked down upon, so he struggled to get up from the ground and looked at the middle-aged woman.

"You don't have to deliberately trick me, young man, I can tell you that this badge is Baichuan's"

The middle-aged woman named Lingling stroked the badge as if she were her own child, but she finally recognized the identity of the badge's owner.

"Uncle is a gold hunter? But what about Uncle's chariot? ”

Unexpectedly, Ma Tao, who sat up from the ground, heard the news with his own ears, and was more or less surprised, but then he thought of the chariot, staring closely at the eyes of the middle-aged woman and trying to find something, but unfortunately he found nothing, the woman's eyes were not shocked, and it seemed that nothing could make her feel special.

"Yes, to be exact, but we prefer not to be a gold hunter......," the middle-aged woman gently stroked the pattern on the badge, as if caught in some kind of painful past.

"Ever? Why? Wait a minute? You just said you ??? Ma Tao stood up, patted the soil in his hands, felt much better, and then suddenly reacted to the big discovery in the words of this middle-aged woman named Lingling.

"Gold Badge Bounty Hunter, what a noble title, it can bring destruction and death, and there is a never-ending struggle, everything you have represents wealth and glory in the eyes of others, monsters want to kill you, even humans themselves want to kill you" The middle-aged woman's eyes closed, and a few tears crossed the corners of her wrinkled eyes, flowing down her cheeks, and falling on the gold badge in her hand, crystal clear.

"How is that possible! The Gold Hunter is so powerful! Who can stop them! Ma Tao didn't believe this woman's words at all, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"Yes, the gold hunter is so powerful, so proud, so confident, each one is so invincible, it can be called perfect, that's why there is a competition, there is a ranking, there is a duel of life and death, the earth of gunsmoke and fire, dyed red by the blood of the gold hunter, the chariot is roaring, the god of death is cheering, facing the challenge of the gold hunter of the same level, just for a small badge, you say it's ridiculous"

"The challenge of the gold hunters, cannibalism? How can this kind of thing be...... If you don't care, you can not fight at all, just don't go!! ”

"Little guy, you are too naïve, if things are solved so simply, how can there be a world war, the most terrible thing in this world is the human heart, don't go? Our son was the result of not going, and we couldn't even find the body, and in a fit of rage, we blew up the gold hunter's chariot, and scrapped our own chariot, and even paid more for it."

The middle-aged woman opened her eyes, looked at the badge of glory in her hand, and then showed a miserable smile and handed it to Ma Tao and said, "Do you still like this badge?" ”

"How can a gold hunter do such a thing, with someone else's loved ones......... This ........." Ma Tao was still about to say something, but he was suddenly stunned, and he remembered something.

The wolf, the hunter who is also at the level of the gold badge, the strong man who drives the chariot red with blood, and the wife he loves so much suddenly disappeared, without a trace, without a trace, and the wolf searched the whole world in order to find her, right?

Ma Tao looked at the golden glory badge in the middle-aged woman's hand and didn't speak for a long time.

"Do you still like this thing? Want to either? The voice sounded as if there was a spell, thinking that these three words had been echoing in Ma Tao's mind, and the middle-aged woman saw that Ma Tao did not take it, so she asked again.

The image of the bounty hunter collapsed in Ma Tao's heart, that's right, people have desires, there is desire, there is demand, there is demand, there is possessiveness, this is a dead cycle, it can't be stopped at all, no one can do no desire, no one can escape this reincarnation, even gods, can fall, but Ma Tao always feels that this is wrong, there must be something wrong, but what is wrong?

The gold badge in the hands of the middle-aged woman slowly enlarged in Ma Tao's eyes, getting bigger and bigger, the golden light symbolizes dignity, symbolizes status and wealth, but it is also like an invisible giant mouth, devouring all the souls who are trying to peep at these glory and wealth, Ma Tao seems to be able to hear the calls coming out of the gold badge, it is temptation, vanity, greed, and endless evil thoughts, but the golden light makes people unable to distinguish whether it is a demon or an angel.

Ma Tao's hand slowly stretched out towards the badge, getting closer and closer, and the light on it became more and more dazzling.

Are you also a person who pursues desires? Yes, I am also a mortal with desires, I am no different from most people, Ma Tao, whose eyes are scattered and his eyes are blurred, really likes this light too much, I really like it too much.

But just when Ma Tao's hand was a few centimeters away from the gold badge, he suddenly stopped, and the middle-aged woman was just a little surprised, and saw Ma Tao grab the badge in the woman's hand.

"Sure enough, most people can't hide from the ......... of power desires" The middle-aged woman looked at the empty palm, and just wanted to laugh, but found that Ma Tao, who was holding the badge, did not carefully hide the badge in his arms like those people before, for fear of being snatched away by others, but threw it in his hand at once, and the badge rotated in his hand, shining with dazzling light.

These are nothing, the important thing is that when Ma Tao looked at the gold badge he was playing with, his eyes were as calm as water, and he didn't look like he was falling into desire at all.

"You don't have desires?" The middle-aged woman was stunned.

"Nope! That's impossible! It is impossible for people to have no desires and no desires, even monks have the desire to seek Buddha, this is impossible!! The middle-aged woman looked at Ma Tao in disbelief and waved her hands, as if this was the only way to make her feel real.

"Of course I have desires," Ma Tao smiled, holding the gold badge in his hand and handing it back to the middle-aged woman.

"What do you mean?" The middle-aged woman was stunned with her badge.

"You're right, people can't have no desires, I'm also human, but my desires aren't about glory, money, power, or anything else, the reason why I want to be a gold hunter or a legendary hunter is just to prove that I didn't live in vain, in other words, to do something meaningful, something meaningful to everyone, I say that, you know?" Ma Tao smiled, smiling very happily.

"Meaningful to everyone? If I want your chariot, will you give it? The middle-aged woman asked with a cold snort.

"That's a good question, you have to distinguish what is meaningful and what is being robbed" Ma Tao's words made him listen to it himself

"In other words, you have to tell if your opponent is an enemy or a friend."

"The person who killed my son can also be a friend!! Baichuan killed him!! The middle-aged woman suddenly shouted at Ma Tao angrily, Ma Tao saw Uncle Baichuan who had left appear behind her, but Uncle Baichuan didn't listen to her to kill Ma Tao, but gently put his hand on the middle-aged woman's shoulder.

"Lingling, we—" Uncle Baichuan opened his mouth, which eventually turned into a long sigh.

"If the other party proposed to duel with you, you directly gave him the gold badge, your son might not die, it was you who was blinded by desire first, the real gold hunter will not be a small badge can prove! Because he has a heart like gold, bright and dazzling," Ma Tao looked at the couple without fear.

"A real gold hunter has a heart like gold...... "The middle-aged woman kept repeating Ma Tao's last sentence, completely stunned.

With a heart of gold, light, hope, bravery, and dedication, the words spoken by this kid in front of him also completely shocked Uncle Baichuan.
