Feng Manyun shook the well wheel, carried the rope and pulled the last scoop of water, and poured it into the wooden barrel beside him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The bucket is half as tall as his body, and the two buckets full of water are not a hundred catties but dozens of catties, and the two daughters of the Wang family used to have to carry the flat pole together in order to carry it back to the small courtyard smoothly, but this job can be done by the young man at this moment. Three months of life and death experience, in addition to giving Feng Manyun an incomparably solid nerves, also made his body much stronger unconsciously. At least under that white robe, every inch of the young man's muscles was several times stronger than when he first came to Golden Feather City, even if such a change came at the cost of a few terrifying wounds on his body.

"You don't have to do it every time." Watching the young man put down the flat burden in his hand, Ah Ping handed him a clean towel. The girl was still wearing a thick ponytail as before, but her expression was much haggard than Feng Manyun's memory, "The hunter's job...... It's hard enough. ”

"It's more like boredom." The boy took the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He suddenly stopped, probably unwilling to complain in front of the girl, "Uh, I mean...... It's just a pass, it's easy, and it's hard to find a job like this in the entire Hunters' Guild. ”

"Liar, that's not what you said about the knife wound on your face." The girl pouted, "You still haven't told me what happened that day." ”

"As I said, I met a fellow villager who drank a few more glasses of wine, and I don't remember where I fell." The teenager's eyes unnaturally avoid the girl's.

"I don't believe it," Ah Ping lifted the lid of the water tank and watched the boy pour water into it, "It must be those ronins in the Xishu Department who taught you to lie." ”

"They are all good men," said the young man in white earnestly, "they did teach me to lie, but they also taught me how to hunt and live...... Those people are my companions, don't call them that. ”

"Okay, okay, I apologize." The girl didn't hold her face, she laughed out loud, and her face flushed slightly, "You look like this, more like my cheap daddy, when you mention your companion, it's like you're going to fight hard at any time." This hunter hero, Niang, burned some lettuce, washed her hands, and came to eat. ”

"Eating things...... Wait a minute. Feng Manyun stopped the girl and said, "Come with me, I have something to show you." ”

…………

"What's that?" The girl finally broke free from the young man's rough big hand, and the two of them had already arrived in Feng Manyun's small room. This room was lent to him by Aunt Wang when he first came to Jinyu City, and now it has long become the long-term residence of the young man.

"This." Feng Manyun pulled out a simple cloth bag from the bottom of the cabinet, and the metal objects inside collided with a loud sound. The boy flipped through the bag and poured all the coins into his hand, "Here are a gold coin and eighteen silver coins. He pulled out a small wad of silver coins from his robe, "Here are the thirty coins of this month, and the reward will be paid today, and I think it will be time for that." ”

"What is the time to do it?" Ah Ping unconsciously brushed the braid next to her shoulder and quietly took a step back.

"This is my pay for five months working in the union...... Most. The boy spread his hand full of money on the bed, "It took a few silver coins to fix the armor and some urgent things, but I think the rest should be enough......," his voice narrowed, "enough to fix the cart that sold buns, or simply build a new one." ”

"I've already applied with the captain to move my shift tomorrow to the evening. That way I'll have a whole day to find a workshop with a good price - if the sign is a little more modest and acceptable to you, maybe even the principal of the bun material will be enough. The corners of the boy's mouth raised, "You mother and son...... Soon it will be the same as before. ”

"So...... Is this what you've been doing all along? The girl looked at the silver coin in front of her, quietly clenched the braid in her hand, and the sweat in her palm seeped into her hair, "Stay in Golden Feather City, work under the assignment of the union, and come back here to live...... All to compensate for that cart? ”

"When I just returned to Golden Feather City, I knew what happened to your mother and daughter...... I don't know what to do. Feng Manyun sighed with difficulty, "I tried to take revenge on the people in the small market, but I only have one person, and of course the result will not be too good." I thought, at least I can do something for the two of you. ”

"And then expect my mother and I to be grateful to you?" The girl's voice trembled and she asked, "At that time, you told me that you had found a good job in the city, and I just said that you were tired of the battles in the Western Garrison and really liked such a stable and safe life...... It's been five months, and now you're saying, you're doing this for us? ”

"If you don't want to think so...... Let's use this money as rent for my overnight stay. The young man in white noticed the strangeness of Ah Ping's mood, but he didn't know where this strangeness came from, "I've lived for so long, and the rent of one gold coin and forty-eight silver coins is already very cheap in Golden Feather City. ”

"My mother and I don't need your charity." Ah Ping's face completely cooled, "I took you in front of the trade union hall and got into trouble in the small market, all of this is our own choice, we have accepted the current result, and we don't need you to pay any price." ”

"I didn't mean that......" Feng Manyun had a bitter face, opened his mouth a few times, but didn't know what to explain. I thought that my kindness could be comforted by the girl, but somehow angered her, "I just thought that if things all went back to the way they were, you would at least be happier." ”

"There's no going back," Ah Ping said bitterly, "If the people in the small market can find me and my mother once, they can find us a second time." My mother has been washing clothes for six months, and I'm about to go into a workshop as an apprentice, and we're all adjusting to a new life, so why do you bring up things from so long ago at this time? ”

"You can avoid the union hall and go closer...... Golden Feather City is so big, it is impossible for the minions of the small market to spread all over the city. Feng Manyun panicked, "The workshop apprentice has a lot of work, and it's too hard for you. The original life...... At least it's freer, isn't it? ”

The more the boy explained, the more Pale Ah Ping's face became, and the girl retreated to the threshold, stretched out her hand and pointed to the silver coins scattered on the bed and said, "Put away your money, we will never accept it." My life with my mother has been messed up once by one hunter, and I don't want to be messed up a second time by another. ”

"But ......"

"Let's go, use this money to hire an airship, go anywhere, just don't come back to Golden Feather City!" The girl turned her back, her shoulders shuddering.

Feng Manyun opened his mouth and stammered, his face flushed. He still didn't know what was wrong, why this girl, who had always smiled and blinked, suddenly became like this after seeing the results of his months of painstaking work. The boy had no choice but to put away the coins on the bed one by one, and scrambled out of the door of the hut.

"Wood." Ah Ping muttered, only to realize that she hadn't called him that in months.

…………

"The food is almost cold, so I came out to look for you." Aunt Wang leaned on the railing, put her big hand around her daughter, and said, "I heard it." ”

"I know."

"He's a good boy," said his mother, whose hands had come into contact with too much cold well water, and had become rougher than they had been months before, "like your father." ”

"I know."

"Like him?" She shook Ah Ping's shoulder and quipped.

The girl twisted her body uneasily, and did not answer, but said in a low voice, "Wood." ”

"You should go and see him, and if he does get on some airship, you should see him for the last time." The mother gently nudged her daughter's back.

Ah Ping took a deep breath, turned around, and stared straight at her mother's face with her eyes, until she saw the old woman squint her eyes and nod shallowly, then she pursed her lips fiercely and ran out of the door as if flying.

"Hurry up, that kid is a hunter, even in the city, he can easily get rid of you." The mother shouted loudly from behind.

…………

"A trolley? Are you talking about toys? The workshop owner waved his hand incessantly, "If you want, why don't you just build it yourself with a few planks?" ――What do you want it to do? ”

Of course, Feng Manyun never thought of leaving in some airship like this. This little guy who can hide alone in the airship cargo hold for three days for a hunter quota will definitely not give up what he believes in easily. Even if he really wants to leave, he has to send the car to their mother and daughter first, as long as the other party accepts his meager kindness, whether it is resentment or anger by Ah Ping, when he leaves, he must be more calm.

"Selling buns." Feng Manyun said truthfully.

"Hahaha!" A laughing voice rang out in the workshop.

"Why, at such a young age, can't a hunter do it?" The shopkeeper coughed heavily a few times before he stopped laughing, "Listen, rookie, although I don't just make hunting clothes here, I won't spare a workshop to make those inferior items for you." ”

"I have money." The boy said, "One gold coin should be enough." ”

"Of course it's enough in normal times." The shopkeeper shrugged, "But it's the hunting season, the peak season for the workshop, and so many hunters who want to change their outfits have saved up a year's commission payment, just waiting for what good guys can be made on these workshops." Unless you can pay me twice as much......"

The young man listened absentmindedly, but his eyes glanced out of the door, and two sneaky figures were squatting there from just now, their eyes as if they were swept over and over again from Feng Manyun.

"One hundred and fifty silver coins, that's all I can give you, and I want a wooden signboard." A hint of malice flashed in his heart, and he subconsciously stared at the shopkeeper fiercely, "You are not the only workshop on this street, you just happen to be open in the evening." ”

"Well, damn it, that's a lot less than a hunting suit." The shopkeeper weighed the profits before he scolded, "Half of the deposit, the money and goods will be cleared in three days." ”

"I'll give you so much first." Taking advantage of the eyes of the two people outside the door to shift away, he secretly flicked a gold coin with his thumb into the shopkeeper's hand, "If it falls apart in three days, I will come back to you." ”

After receiving more advance payment than expected, the workshop owner agreed with a smile: "Then let's talk about the details, how high do you want your car to be?" ”

"There are so many stalls at the entrance of the union hall, you can just go and see for yourself." The boy waved his hand and said nervously, "I still have something to deal with...... Can you lend me that tongs first? ”

As Feng Manyun pushed open the door, the two figures who had been squatting for a long time also followed.

…………

Ah Ping still didn't find any trace of the wood after all, she asked more than a dozen passers-by, and even ran all the way to the take-off and landing pad of the union airship. However, for an ordinary girl who has been selling buns for the first half of her life, tracing does not seem to be her strong point. When the girl returned home, it had been dark for a long time, and she could only sit on the front steps and wait.

Fortunately, the young man in white didn't let the girl wait too long, even when his figure appeared in the girl's field of vision, Feng Manyun's clothes were no longer half white.

"What are you...... What's wrong? Ah Ping held the stumbling Feng Manyun, "...... hurt so badly"

The boy's body was covered in blood and mud, apparently after a brutal fight, and he still held a blood-stained tongs in his hand, which he threw to the ground the moment he touched the girl.

"No, it's just some small market thugs, I'm a hunter, I won't be afraid of them." The boy stood up as straight as he could, slapping the girl's back in comfort, "These bloods? Oh, it's all theirs, I'm not hurt, just a little ...... Dizziness only. ”

"Don't speak, raise your feet ......" Although her body was still trembling, the girl still forcibly carried Feng Manyun's body into the courtyard.

"I've already booked a cart......," the boy still said, "and I've moved around a few more shops since then, and they don't know where I bought it, and as long as you mother and son stay away from Xicheng, you shouldn't be targeted wherever you set up a stall." ”

"I know...... I know ......" Ah Ping's nose was sore, and the hand holding the hunter's arm slipped down involuntarily, she hurriedly supported the young man's back, but felt a strange warmth behind the torn robe, "You...... Are you bleeding? ”

"No, it's all those people." Feng Manyun shook his head, it was already dark night, but he only felt that it was getting brighter and brighter in front of him.

"No...... It's yours! The girl almost cried, "The wound is so long...... What should I do? ”

"I ...... Injured? Feng Manyun groped on his back with a strange expression, "Why can't I feel it?" ”
