A city named Hu Lie is located in the southern part of the grassland, which is already a border city for the Golong Bang clan. Because if you walk south for two more days, you can leave the Golong Bang clan and reach the ice and snow mountain range where the dragon beast lies down.

When they saw this city, both Xia Xiao and Ah Candle had ripples in their hearts, because they hadn't seen such a big city for a long time, and they hadn't seen so many people for a long time. Ah Candle had heard that the desire for the qi of living beings in the Demon Dao was like a hungry homeless man to a bowl of steaming egg noodles, so she looked at Xia Xiao, for fear that he would not be able to hold it and rush in and devour it.

"It's okay, I don't have that urge. ”

After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he smiled and walked with Ah Candle along the flow of people towards the city.

On the way here, they followed the two hats and pressed them slightly, so that they could block half of their faces. But as soon as you enter the city, you can see a lot of people gathered in front of a notice, all of them are prairie knights, and the conversation is very noisy, and there are a lot of jokes.

Ah Zhu wanted to leave, but was pulled by Xia Xiao, and now she feels terrible when she hears others call her name. But Xia Xiao saw himself on the portrait and said that it was very similar, but Ah Candle looked around timidly and complained in a low voice:

"Don't you want to die, hurry up!"

Holding the horse with one hand and Ah Candle's wrist with the other, Xia Xiaojiao said with interest:

"Don't worry, see what the academy has to say. ”

Ah Candle didn't know what Xia Xiao was calculating, but he didn't dare to raise his head like him and look directly at the portrait notice.

"The demon Xia Xiao, escaped from the hands of the academy and kidnapped the daughter of the academy, Ah Candle, to hide his breath. The two of them carried a sword and a sword, and they did not know where to go, but they had seen and heard, and those who knew their footprints informed the local officials, who relayed them to the faculty and students of the college. During this period, the Optimus Sect will carry out the previous patrol work in place of the academy, please forgive me if you disturb it. Those who provide clues will be rewarded with 100 taels or 1,000 taels of silver, depending on availability. ”

After Xia Xiao read it in a low voice, someone laughed:

"There are many chivalrous people on the grassland, there are countless matches of a man and a woman, and a sword and a sword are even more common, it seems that this silver pair has nothing to do with us!"

"There is also an unwritten rule that it is a great sin to make up a lie or create panic!"

"There were too many lies at first, so it was natural to pay attention to them, but such characteristics are too widespread, so I'll forget it, but unfortunately I didn't have enough awareness, and I should have made this kind of money earlier. ”

Some people found it boring and walked away one after another, not forgetting to say some ghost ideas and laugh.

"If you don't pretend, I'll report you, and then the money will be twenty-eight, and I'll be two-you-eight. ”

"I think you and your siblings can pretend, but I don't fit. ”

"Ah, forget it. ”

People with low realms are joking, and people with high realms sigh and say worriedly:

"Let this troll escape into the world, I don't know how many people will suffer, but let the academy and the Optimus Sect search together for a month to no avail, this guy is really strong. With our strength, we have the heart but not the power!"

"There will be another catastrophe in the world, but we can only believe in the Academy and the Qingtian Sect, they have created evils, and they should clean up by themselves. ”

"So far, there have been no casualties, which is a blessing. ”

"Yes, but maybe one day we'll be ruined. ”

Several people were communicating, but they didn't expect that Xia Xiao said this. They expressed their opinions on their own, showing their awe-inspiring atmosphere and ambition. But when he turned around, the man who had said that had been said had been taken away.

Ah Candle is like a big sister, leaning her waist to teach Xia Xiao a lesson.

"What's going on? I'm angry like this again!"

If it weren't for the street, Ah Candle would really want to scold him, but Xia Xiao just smiled and said in a low voice:

"Be naughty, don't be angry. ”

"It's no wonder if I'm not angry! Fortunately, I hid the sword in my backpack, and there was one less feature, otherwise it would have been discovered. ”

Xia Xiao put on a look that you were right, and took her hand into a fairly good restaurant. Xiao Er was enthusiastic and scary, leading the horses while beckoning them to go inside.

The decoration of the store is not luxurious, but as soon as the screen is pulled, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle can finally take off the hat. The latter was a little worried, but Xia Xiao said that it was okay, and he used some simple tricks to cover his eyes, and ordinary people couldn't see it. With this sentence, Ah Candle was relieved and boldly ordered the dish.

"This girl, just tell the small one what you want to eat, this reading menu, a little embarrassed. ”

"She reads it all. ”

Xia Xiao took out a heavy cloth bag from Ah Candle's backpack and gently placed it on the table, which immediately made Xiao Er happy, and hurriedly said yes.

"Huh, I continued?"

"Girl, enjoy yourself, it's a small one who doesn't know Mount Tai, please don't be surprised. ”

Every time there is one more dish name, Xiao Er's heart is even happier, thinking that he will finally see the heroic master! Compared with those poor chivalrous guests, although he is full of pride, but a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts can be chewed for a long time, so who can stand it? At least two catties of beef can be counted. But it's weird today, it's always been a girl who follows her son, but now it's the other way around, it's really a pet.

Xiao Er gave the guest a look at the dishes he remembered, and was about to leave after making sure, but he heard Xia Xiao ask:

"Listen to your accent, you're not a local, are you?"

"The small ones are the Great Xia people. ”

"Oh, then we're fellow countrymen, why did we get here?"

"When Yew City was broken, they were abducted in a daze, and these people from the Goulong Bang clan are all thieves. If it weren't for the shopkeeper of my family, maybe they would have been dragged to be slaves, I thought that I could go back if I saved enough money, but I didn't think that Nanshang would have attacked Xiyang, and Yew would never be able to build it again. ”

Xiao Er bent over, sighed, and retreated in interest when he saw that Xia Xiao didn't speak.

After a while, a middle-aged man's voice sounded outside the screen.

"The guest is a Daxia person, and the villain specially sent a pot of wine, and today's dishes can also be discounted. But if the guest is a cultivator, please listen to the villain's persuasion. ”

"I also want to serve my country, but I don't have the ability. ”

Xia Xiao's tone was full of regret, he couldn't pretend to be it, the shopkeeper shook his head secretly when he listened, it was difficult for Daxia.

"Then I wish the guests all the best. ”

"Thank you. ”

After the shopkeeper walked with the footsteps, Ah Candle asked curiously:

"How can it be so coincidental?"

"I came here when I smelled the familiar pastry. ”

"What a dog's nose. ”

Ah Candle drank tea and looked at Xia Xiao sneering. When the food was served, they finally clearly smelled the fireworks in the world. Seeing her so excited, but not moving her chopsticks, Xia Xiao said:

"What's polite? Hurry up and eat, I don't know when this kind of feast will come next time." ”

Ah Candle was not polite, and first gave Xia Xiao a few chopsticks and dishes, which was a warm behavior, but the latter's face turned cold, and he scolded angrily:

"What a dog!"

Ah Candle didn't care, she started to dismantle eight pieces while holding the plate, and she couldn't eat it as a meal, although if she hadn't had it, she would have starved to death in that cave.

"Slow down, and don't rob you. ”

Looking at her eating appearance, Xia Xiao was full of disgust, so he had to sit behind the screen and say hello to the little er. Just leave the dish outside and serve it himself. He didn't want others to know that seeing Ah Candle's eating appearance was simply a beast opening its bloody mouth, terrifying.

However, compared to the pleasure brought by the breath of life, Xia Xiao still likes the first-hand experience of taste buds, because it is more real, and it also makes Xia Xiao know that he is still a person. He also buried his head in eating, firstly because he was really hungry, and secondly, he echoed Ah Candle, and when they looked at each other and smiled, the faint happiness seemed to be no different from before. But Xia Xiao knew that all the opportunities he had now were exchanged for the lives of his predecessors!

Xia Xiao doesn't like to be immersed in sadness, no matter what he does, the efficiency is very slow, but he remembers what he should do all the time.

Seeing Xia Xiao pour two glasses of wine, Ah Candle wiped his mouth and asked curiously:

"Can you really drink it? What if you get drunk?"

"That's it, we won't get drunk, and when we're done eating, we'll find a place to stay, and have a good night's rest before we set off." ”

Ah Candle nodded hurriedly, she could sleep in the stone cave, but she missed the bed even more. And it's still far from the South China Sea, so if you want to get there, you have to prepare something.

This feast prepared by Xia Xiao and Ah Candle for themselves was very rich, just like Xia Xiao said, they didn't know when the next time they would eat such a delicious dish, so they had to eat more. After Xia Xiao and Ah Candle finished gnawing on the chicken feet, eating all the elbows, and sweeping up all the other dishes, they sat on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Comfortable!"

Xia Xiao and Ah Candle glanced at each other, smiling well, and their faces were slightly red because of a few glasses of wine.

Xia Xiao looked at Ah Candle and suddenly felt that it was indeed an excellent thing to have someone to accompany him on the road, otherwise he would be so lonely. Ah Candle also thought so, fortunately she and Xia Xiao came out, otherwise they would definitely not be able to give up in the academy, they just looked at each other like that, and the clean plates and chopsticks in front of them were about to reflect their smiling faces.

"Fool!"

Ah Candle can always see the disgust in Xia Xiao's eyes, and she often hears all kinds of novel words that hurt her from his mouth, but she likes this feeling very much, which makes it feel at ease, and it loses its previous depression and fear.

"Leave when you're full!"

"Don't pack it?"

"Buy fresh ones when you leave tomorrow morning!"

Ah Candle nodded hurriedly, put on the hat and went to pay, she likes to manage money, in fact, because she is afraid that Xia Xiao will be discovered. She can make people let down their vigilance more than Xia Xiao, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Er have a good impression of the two of them, so everything is natural, and there is no suspicion, only regret. At such a good age, it is better to defend the country than to wander the world.

I went out to lead the horse, but I didn't think it was nearly dusk. The clouds on the horizon were blood-red, and a small wind blew under them, which was a heat wave and a cool breeze that would be cold at night. When Ah Candle felt a little dizzy, Xia Xiao took her hand and took her to find a place to live.

After walking for a long time, Ah Candle, who had been following Xia Xiao's footsteps, did not know how to bypass a few lanes, but he never saw the hotel, and there was only a surprisingly empty street in front of him.

The street was not wide, there was no one on it, and it was extremely silent. Ah Candle felt that this hour was not like this, and it was not dark, so he turned his head to look at Xia Xiao. His face was like a knife, and it seemed to have frost attached, as if something big was about to happen.

"What's wrong?"

"The people from the academy are here. ”

"Huh?"

Ah Candle immediately sobered up, and the action of looking around made Xia Xiao feel distressed, but she finally looked ahead like Xia Xiao. There was a vague figure there, but who could it be? Will it let himself and Xia Xiao go?
