"Woo woo woo ......"

In the crowded city, a girl in a tattered cloth dress squatted in a corner and sobbed quietly.

A short-haired boy in plain clothes came over: "What are you crying about?" ”

"Who are you?" The girl asked, looking up and wiping away tears.

"My name is Han Leng." The boy said, "Why are you crying?" ”

"I'm hungry." The girl said.

At this time, a boy with long bangs walked up to the two of them, he looked at the girl squatting in the corner and said to Han Leng, "This is a useless NPC, don't waste time on her." ”

......

Where is this?

In the crowd, a familiar plaque came straight into view.

Floating Island Inn!

"Please take me to find a new mentor." A voice came from the side. Han Leng turned his head, and a familiar face was speaking to him.

This boy who calls himself Han Leng ...... Is it yourself?

Although there were many doubts, Han Leng could not speak, nor could he control his actions.

Reflected from the clear pupils of the boy in front of him was a vague black shadow.

Turned into a shadow yourself?

By the way, when I was confused before, I seemed to hear Xu Changchang and them talking about 'shadowing'.

So now you have really become a shadow?

What just happened...... It seems like a long time ago......

Uncontrollably guided the boy to pick up tasks, to learn skills, and when night fell, he guided the boy into the floating island inn, and saw a familiar person.

"Children, what do you need, we have ...... here" Li Youcai, the former novice mentor in mythology, who once caused Han Leng to become an NPC, is the second shopkeeper of this floating island inn at the moment.

The boy sitting at the table looked a little reserved, he turned his head and asked Han Leng, who was a shadow, "Do I want to eat here?" ”

"Eating can increase satiety, and depending on the food, it can temporarily improve various attributes. However, if you are currently full and fatigue is high, it is recommended that you stay in the hotel to rest to reduce fatigue, as high fatigue levels can lead to shock, coma, drowsiness, and even sudden death. There was no trace of emotion, and the voice was hard in Han Leng's mouth. Naturally, this was not what Han Leng said, Han Leng found that he was now just a spectator watching through the shadows.

When the boy heard this, he raised his head and said to Li Youcai, "Then I'll stay in the hotel." ”

Li Youcai, the shopkeeper, said with a smile: "Okay, we have a simple room here for ten cents, which can make you sleep peacefully and be bright all night; There is also a junior room of 30 yuan, which is equipped with soothing incense, which can make you wake up full of spiritual power; There is also an intermediate room with 60 Wen, which has a large healing array, which can help you get rid of minor ailments and temporarily increase your resistance to calamity; We still have ......."

At Han Leng's suggestion, the boy chose the cheapest ten-dollar room.

The ten-dollar room was nothing more than a small room of less than ten square meters on the second floor, and there was nothing in it except a bed.

Fortunately, there was a window, and the boy pushed it open, leaned on the window, and looked at the bustling night scene outside with interest. But because it's only the second floor, it's just a bustling corner of the city, but it's enough to excite a boy who has never been exposed to virtual games.

It's just that under the prosperity, there is also unknown bitterness.

The boy's eyes were firmly grasped by the girl he had met in the corner earlier.

The girl was still crouching in the corner, and somewhere she had found some hay and wrapped herself in a ball. But the wind that blew from time to time blew away the hay she had managed to ridge in a pile.

The boy rolled up his sleeves and reached out to the window, looking a little puzzled: "It's not cold......"

Then the girl raised her head and looked at the boy who was outstretching his hand.

Naturally, the boy also noticed the girl, his face turned red, he hurriedly retracted his hand, closed the window, and lay back on the bed.

"During the day, I didn't buy buns for her, and I don't know if she's hungry." The boy tossed and turned on the bed with some irritation.

After a while, the boy got up from his bed, pushed open the door, and walked out of the room.

He came to a bun shop, spent a few pennies to buy a few buns, and walked up to the girl.

"Do you eat steamed buns?" The boy asked.

"Thank you." The girl took the bun and began to gobble it up.

"Is it delicious?" The boy asked.

"It's delicious, do you want one?" The girl grabbed a bun and handed it to the boy.

The boy didn't answer: "I can't eat it." ”

"You don't have a sense of taste?" The girl was surprised.

The boy shook his head but didn't know how to explain: "No, I'm just ......"

"I understand." The girl laughed.

"You understand?" The boy wondered.

"Because I can't see it!" The girl looked at the boy with wide, blank eyes, "I would rather have no sense of taste than no vision, I want to see what the outside world is like." ”

"I'm not talking about the ......," the boy looked at her blank eyes, "what's your eye...... Blind? ”

"Born to do it." The girl swallowed the bun and smiled.

"What about your parents? How did you get ...... Over here? The boy asked.

"I don't have parents." The girl smiled.

The boy lowered his head and looked a little sad: "I have parents, but I wish I hadn't." “

"Why do you say that, what a happy thing it is to have parents." The girl's face yearned.

The boy looked at the girl: "My parents praise other people's children every day, but they never want to give some praise to their own children. There will always be a good face for a while, but once you retreat, you will be scolded day and night. I felt like my parents didn't love me at all. ”

"You must have neglected other aspects of your parents' kindness to you, if you don't feel it, it may not be that they love you enough, or you may not find that they care for you in your daily life, maybe you take it for granted, but that's actually love. I envy you very much. The girl said expectantly.

"How do you know, you don't have parents." The boy complained.

The girl's expectant look froze, and she became lonely.

The boy may have found that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "Actually, it's good if you don't have parents, and I won't look down on you because you don't have parents, on the contrary, I envy you." ”

But apparently his words did not comfort the girl, and when the cold wind blew, the girl shrank back, looked down at the bun in her hand and stopped talking.

No matter what the boy said, the girl squatted in the haystack with a blank face and didn't reply again.

Han Leng on the side looked at the boy's clumsy appearance and wanted to continue talking to the girl, and only felt a little funny, it turned out that he had been so stupid at the beginning.

The girl is obviously no longer here, this is just a puppet.

It's just that...... What is the purpose of replaying these events back then?
