At night, the stars dimmed, and a faint layer of thin clouds shrouded the sky, obscuring the stars and the moon.

Under the moonlit night.

Dragoon Town.

At night, the streets of Nanzhen District are free of daytime noise and restlessness, the wide streets are spotless, and the rune lamps on both sides of the street emit a dim light, shining on the road, elongating the backs of pedestrians, and the light and shadow are mottled.

Most of the shops lining the streets are closed, leaving only a few small vendors shouting.

A man in shabby clothes walked down the street on his own, and passers-by looked at him strangely, for no other reason than the two long knives pinned to him.

One black and one white, the wooden scabbard is slightly rotten.

In the history of continental weapons, most knife weapons are between one meter and one meter two in length, and it is rare to see such a long knife.

The young man's back was a little gloomy, he just walked on his own, ignoring everyone's gaze, and was not disturbed by the sound of falling leaves around him.

suddenly

"Hey, hey, can't you run, right? See where else you can run! ”

At the mouth of a dark alley, several obscene-looking middle-aged people forced a little girl into the alley, and the little girl was trembling against the wall, looking at them with eyes full of horror.

The little girl, who looked to be ten years old, had a pretty face, two long ponytails, and a candy in her hand.

Her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Silently walked away, as if he hadn't seen it.

There was silence all around, and the occasional passer-by only glanced at him, and then stopped lingering and hurried away.

So is the end.

"Ahh Don't come here! ”

There was another scream right behind him, full of grievance and helplessness.

But he still didn't look back, just kept his head down and walked his own way.

"Ahh Don't let her run! Catch her, everyone! ”

There was another sound of agitation, followed by footsteps that were getting closer and closer to him.

Gong Duan subconsciously looked back, only to see that the little girl just now took advantage of the gangsters' inattention, broke free from their claws, and ran towards Gong Duan.

Gong Duan sighed, then stopped.

The little girl shrank behind him in horror, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly, her face full of panic.

"Boy, I advise you to leave now and don't disturb the interest of the masters, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat!"

A thin and tall young man stood in front of his achievements, his face full of disdain, with a hint of arrogance.

"Where's the stinky boy? If you don't want to die, get out! ”

Behind him came the echo of his companions, and when they saw him standing still, the crowd rushed up and surrounded him.

This was a man in a black trench coat who suddenly frowned, and then said something to the thin and tall man just now.

"Yo! Or a Qi Refiner! No wonder you dare to meddle with our business! ”

Although his mouth was still disdainful, his expression was much more serious.

No matter where they are, Qi Refiners are powerful existences, even if they are just Level 1 Qi Refiners, they can easily deal with more than a dozen ordinary people.

At this moment, another man came out from behind the young man, gently tugged at his clothes, and then gave him a look.

The young man's face changed suddenly, and he whispered something to him.

Turn around.

"Humph! If it weren't for Lao Tzu's troubles, you would have been beaten all over the ground looking for teeth today! The young man sneered, then turned away.

"Let's go!"

Everyone looked at each other with disdain and good luck today, gave them a defiant look, and then followed him away.

From beginning to end, Gong Du had an indifferent look, just standing there quietly and not saying a word.

It's just that at the end, Gong Duan raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at their backs a little lazily.

In an instant, the corners of his mouth pulled up slightly.

It's like watching a group of beam-jumping clowns improvise, and he's just a spectator!

After straightening his expression, he turned around with a smile, looked at the little girl who retreated from his legs, and said, "Little sister, why are you here alone, don't you have adults by your side?" ”

The little girl saw that they were all gone, so she breathed a sigh of relief, patted her little chest, and when she heard his words, she raised her head very suspiciously, tilted her little head and said, "Adult? Big brother, isn't it an adult? ”

The little girl looked puzzled, as if she could have a few question marks on her head.

"That's not what I meant, I mean ......," Gong Duan was slightly stunned, and then explained.

Suddenly, Gong Duan saw her face clearly, her expression was stunned for a moment, and then her whole body trembled violently, and her pupils widened suddenly!

There was a silent exclamation in his mouth, and a name that had long been buried deep in his heart and only existed in his dreams suddenly came to him:

"Ling'er?!"

The little girl tilted her head and looked at him suspiciously.

"Big brother, what are you talking about? Oh yes, you're such a good guy, I was so scared just now, those bad guys have been following me! The little girl whispered, while showing an expression for the rest of her life.

Looking at the little girl's expression, she came back to her senses, and the figure in her mind that was seven points similar to the girl in front of her slowly faded.

It's a lot like, but not her!

Take a deep breath, his work is back to normal, he hasn't been so out of shape for many years, and only for her, she is the most important relative in his life......

Gong Duan narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled.

"What's your name?"

"Beiyin!" The little girl said, "Big brother, what about you?" ”

"It's done."

"Done? What a strange name. ”

Gong Duan smiled slightly: "You too." ”

"Where is your home? I'll send you back. Gong Duan said suddenly.

"Home? Not...... I don't remember it......"

The little girl looked thoughtful, then shook her head.

"Don't remember?"

"Hmm......" Beiyin nodded.

Gong Duan looked at her expression, not like she was lying.

Is she an orphan?

While the two were talking, a carriage suddenly galloped across the road.

This is the most common vehicle in this world, and it is said that it is a carriage, but in fact, the main driving force is still runes.

As for why it is called a carriage, it is said that in ancient times, tools like this were used to lure them with a creature called a horse.

At that time, the demon beast was not as powerful as it is now, and it was easy to domesticate......

Click!

The sound of an emergency brake suddenly came, extremely harsh.

This was followed by an even more piercing sound of wooden wheels rubbing against the road.

He subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but found that Beiyin was still standing in the middle of the road in a daze, stuck in front of the carriage to be precise.

Beiyin looked at the behemoth in front of him suspiciously.

The carriage was four or five meters high, and its width occupied nearly half of the road, like a giant beast crawling on the ground!

The carriage had four large wooden wheels, with a rough workbench in front and a huge cargo hopper behind it, which was used to decorate the goods.

A large rune was engraved on the workbench, occupying almost all of the area above the workbench, and at the moment it shimmered with a blinding red light.

Gong Duan hurriedly walked over and was about to pull her over.

At this time, I saw that the cargo bucket of the carriage suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with a fierce face came out of it, and shouted viciously: "Dead little ghost, don't have eyes!" If you block Lao Tzu's way again, Lao Tzu will kill you! ”

Gong Duan frowned, and his eyes became a little complicated when he looked at Beiyin.

Looking at her puzzled expression, she had never gone shopping before?

The little girl was surprised, and suddenly she was yelled at by a middle-aged man, and she was suddenly unhappy.

Beiyin pinched Xiao Man's waist, and said in a milky voice pretending to be vicious: "Hmph! You're going to hit it! I'm not responsible for crashing the car! ”

Achievement: "......"
