At the gate of the village, there are three carriages unloading in turn, all of them are square wooden boxes, firmly fastened by iron nails, each weighing seventy or eighty pounds, several men with thick waists and round shoulders threw the goods from the carriage to the ground, and the movements were arbitrary, so that the old Lu Tou on the side stared and jumped to his feet and scolded: "You stupid bears with clumsy hands and feet! Tap it all! ”

These temporary porters recruited from the alleys and taverns in the city are all thick-skinned old fritters, giggling at the old Lu Tou but they don't care, and they are not obedient, the old Lu Tou can only turn his head angrily, staring at the old guy who is spitting on his fingers and counting the money, and shouts angrily: "Cargo boss! If my hard-earned treasures break down, you'll have to pay me for them! No one is missing! Otherwise, I won't check it with you again! ”

After losing the money in his hand, the old guy raised his head slightly, poked the brim of his hat in front of his forehead with his fingers, squinted at the old Lu Tou with big yellow teeth, and sneered: "Old Lu Tou, you can pull it down, who else but me will go over the mountains and mountains to such a small broken place to deliver goods to you, you just steal the fun, what the hell place, Lao Tzu has to climb three mountains every time, and it takes four days to get here from Shell City, and I will already give you a lot of face by collecting this little money." ”

A man pushed the last box on the cart to the ground and shouted at the cargo leader: "Boss, withdraw!" ”

"Okay."

The head of the goods raised his hand and said: "Give me a little bit of profit, hurry up and get in the car, go back early, it's not peaceful outside recently, finish the last few orders, and honestly soak in Shell City for the rest of the month." ”

"Hey, that's a good feeling, those hooves in the Storm Tavern probably miss me for a long time."

One man smiled sheepishly, pinched his palm into the air twice, as if reminiscing about the touch of the last time, and the other man sneered on the side: "Forget it, even if those little ladies strip naked and lie in front of you, how many times can you move on their stomachs?" ”

The previous man straightened his waist slightly, made a sensational gesture, and said with a strange smile: "Leopard, don't say anything cool, and I don't know who held on to the wall on the second floor last time and didn't hold it steady and fell off two teeth." ”

"Hush."

The man is undeniable.

"Hahaha, I have to go to the Peach Blossom Casino again, I almost got my money back last time."

"Together, I've been lucky lately."

These guys in the shadows of the city are talking explicit meat and laughing and getting into the car.

Lao Lutou, who was distressed about the goods, heard the sensitive point, didn't care about the goods, and hurriedly ran to the side of the cargo leader who was about to leave, grabbed his arm, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, what's wrong, you just said that it's not peaceful outside, what's going on?" ”

The cargo boss leaned on the back of the carriage, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and looked at the old Lu Tou just smiling and not speaking, the old Lu Tou had a calm face, took out another ticket from his arms, slapped the goods boss on the chest and scolded: "You damn businessman." ”

After receiving the money, the head of the goods smiled even more, and said lazily: "Old Lu Tou, I advise you to stay at home honestly recently, and don't go out no matter what happens outside, I heard from a few old guys who have traveled south and north that there are big people in the capital of Gounod who came to our Shell City, and I heard that it seems to be one of the two corpses." ”

Old Lu Tou changed color, and his voice trembled: "Double ...... One of the two corpses? Is it that undead maniac or war crab? Have you seen them? ”

The head of the goods spread his hands and said, "How do I know that if I had seen them, I would still be able to stand in front of you?" ”

The head of the goods no longer paid attention to the old Lu Tou, jumped into the carriage, and the three carriages left quickly, raising dust all the way.

Lao Lu Tou shrank his head, looking frightened, he looked back at the wooden boxes piled up into a small mountain, and shouted at Qi Wang, who had already loaded the cart: "Xiao Wangzi, hurry up, don't you hear, the double corpses are coming!" ”

Qi Wang, who was struggling to carry a wooden box and overturn the small cart, took a breath, folded his hands in front of him, rested his head on it, and asked Lao Lu Tou, "What are these double corpses?" Amazing people?"

Old Lu Tou swallowed his saliva, his voice was full of horror, as if the mention of their names could make his heart tremble: "They are not human. ”

Qi Wang scratched his head, isn't he a human?

However, Qi Wang obviously didn't have so many problems, and continued to work after a break, Lao Lu Tou Shendao circled in place, anxious, and after a while, it seemed that he had made a major decision, and he slapped it hard and scolded: "Damn it, no, I have to hide all the treasures, and I must not show up again during this time." ”

Qi Wang looked at the old Lu Tou who left in a hurry, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and continued to carry these square boxes to his stomach, the boxes were very heavy, and he didn't know what was inside, and there was a small label on it, with a crooked line of words written in the lingua franca of the Rune Continent, and several of them were already indistinguishable.

Qi Wang didn't have a strong curiosity, he couldn't and couldn't open the box in front of him and take a look, he squatted slightly, stretched out his hands, stood up holding the box in front of him, and moved to the flatbed, the flatbed is not big, it can only carry six boxes back and forth, and if it is too much, it will be easy to bump and shake, if it falls and bumps, this stingy old Lu Tou will not only not give him wages, but may also have to spray him with a spit star.

Qi Wang pushed the flatbed truck to Lao Lu Tou's house, Lao Lu Tou's home was at the end of the village, and I heard from other people in the village that Lao Lu Tou had gone outside in the early years, and later made some money, and when he returned home, he built the largest and most beautiful small castle in the village, and he bought a mile of land around, which looked like a manor.

It takes more than ten minutes to walk from the village to his house, and if you push a cart, it will take about half an hour, so that when you finish moving these mountain-like goods, it will almost be dark.

Qi Wang was a person when he had a memory, and his memory of his parents was only vague words and backs, when he was a child, he relied on everyone in the village to barely support him with a meal, and when he was older, he began to do what he could, helping the family to fill the water, helping the family to reclaim the land in exchange for rations, until he was eight years old, the old Lu Tou in the village noticed him, and often asked him to do some work, and then gave him some money, relying on the meager savings accumulated again and again, It took Qi Wang two years and the help of the people around him to build a simple house, so that he no longer had to send people under the fence or sleep in a dilapidated temple.

Until now, Qi Wang is fifteen.

Although his body is much thinner than his peers, his strength is much stronger than most teenagers, and the only one in the village who can wrestle his wrist with him is Yang Sanjin, that guy doesn't know what he grew up eating, and his body can be half larger than Qi Wang, a whole head taller, I heard that his family wants to send him to those military masters in Shell City to seek a prominent future.

With the passage of time, it is already dusk, and the goods at the entrance of the village are only the last trip, Qi Wang, who is dirty, wiped half of his cheek with his arm, his stomach is hungry, and today's old Lu Tou has not sent him food until now, according to the usual, helping Lao Lu Tou to work is all about food, but Qi Wang, who is used to being hungry for a full meal, did not care, sat and rested for a while, and shook his sore arm.

In his free time, he thinks about his future.

He yearns for the outside world, and listens to Master Li say that the outside world is extremely exciting, including the natural kingdom, the nascent land of the world's magic, the mysterious desolate desert ruins that were once extremely glorious, the harbor on the other side where bandits gather and pirates are rampant, and the ancient country of frost where thousands of miles of ice are frozen and the ice descendant is king.

Qi Wang really wants to go out for a walk, he wants to see what the world he is in is like, if he can, he will be like Lao Lu Tou, make some money after swimming, and build a small castle after returning to the village, and marry a beautiful little daughter-in-law to live this life.

Thinking about it, Qi Wang smiled happily.

"Oops!"

I don't know when the old Lu Tou who appeared came from a distance with his throat pulled, shouted as he walked, and scolded: "You naughty little guy, it's getting dark, and you haven't finished moving yet, do you want to earn these five silver coins?" ”

Qi Wang hurriedly jumped off the box and said with a smile: "It's almost there, this is the last trip." ”

Lao Lu Tou was very good except for his mouth, he glanced at the five boxes behind Qi Wang, and then hummed for a while, then took out a bag full of money from his arms, counted five, and then glanced at Qi Wang, who was messy all over, and took out two more, and then slapped the seven silver in his hand into Qi Wang's palm, and said angrily: "Hurry up, go back after moving, prepare more rations these days, and try not to go out." ”

Qi Wang grinned and nodded.

Lao Lu Tou walked on the side of Qi Wang, who was pushing a cart, and the two walked to the small manor at the end of the path together.

The two chatted casually on the road, Lao Lu Tou was nothing more than chatting about the past as before, complaining about the unevenness of the world, Qi Wang was smiling and listening, asking a few outside questions from time to time, most of Lao Lu Tou would answer with flying eyebrows, as if the time he traveled was something he was proud of.

As he spoke, Lao Lu Tou saw the simple wooden house in the distance on the left side, and couldn't help but look back at Qi Wang, and said: "You, you, a little kid who even depends on himself to be fed by a big guy, what kind of chivalry do you have to learn, take a blind man who can't do anything home, you see, now that you have such a mouth to eat idle food, you would have been able to save enough money to go to Shell City, and if you continue like this, if everyone has a bad harvest and you can't take care of yourself, you two will wait to starve to death." ”

Qi Wang just smiled: "It's okay." ”

Seeing this, Lao Lu Tou could only sigh, this little guy grew up in the village by himself, and he naturally said everything he could.

"This blind man."

Lao Lu Tou could only say angrily: "Every day on a child to eat and drink and lose his conscience, it's been five years, is it possible that he is still ready to rub for a lifetime?" Damn blind ......"

Qi Wang interrupted his words by calling out the name of the old Lu Tou, the old Lu Tou looked back at him, Qi Wang just shook his head and said seriously: "Okay." ”

Lao Lu Tou snorted coldly, nothing more, continued to walk forward, and after a while, when he arrived at Lao Lu Tou's house, Qi Wang unloaded the goods and said hello to Lao Lu Tou and left in a hurry.

Old Lu Tou stood on the steps, looked at Qi Wang who trotted away, shook his head with his hands behind his back, and turned around and walked on the big granite stairs with a slight bow.

Qi Wang didn't go home, he first ran to buy a whole bag of rice for five silver coins, the price of rice is still cheap these days, and Aunt Xu, who sells rice, gave some more, if you save a little, you can last at least two weeks.

Qi Wang carried the rice bag, clutched the two silver coins in his hand, thought about it, gritted his teeth gently, and walked to the butcher shop on the opposite street that would only go to during the New Year's holidays.

"Yo, buy meat? It's not over the holiday yet. ”

Leaning on the recliner is a burly and tall young man, it is Yang Sanjin, their family is the only one in the village who sells meat, and when he gets older, he no longer bullies Qi Wang and these peers as before, but he doesn't have any deep relationship with them.

"Well, Yang Sanjin, weigh me two silver coins of meat, okay?"

Qi Wang handed over two silver coins, Yang Sanjin glanced at him, picked up the butcher knife, and said lazily: This money is the salary given by Lao Lu Tou, I see that you have been running in the village for a day. ”

Yang Sanjin raised his knife in his hand, cut off a piece of pork belly that was two or three catties, and threw it in front of Qi Wang at will: "Give it to you, take it, I will go to Shell City to join the army the day after tomorrow, and the military master over there plans to take me to the Immortal Fortress, which is a gift to you before I leave." ”

Qi Wang picked up the meat and said thank you softly, but he still stubbornly put the two silver coins on the table.

Yang Sanjin shrugged his shoulders casually, didn't care about the two silver coins, threw the knife and wiped his hands with a rag, and said, "What about you, what are you going to do in the future?" Continue to raise that waste blind man and stay in the village to live? ”

Qi Wang frowned slightly, and said softly: "Master Li has a name, his name is Li Qing, and he is not a waste blind man." ”

Seeing Qi Wang's somewhat serious appearance, Yang Sanjin, who had been taught when he was a child, changed his words and said lightly: "Li Qing, right, a blind and blind man who came from nowhere, the people in the village think you are stupid, of course, I also think you are a stupid fool, in this world, only the strong are qualified to give mercy and help to the weak, and you can't even take care of yourself." ”

Qi Wang looked at Yang Sanjin, the child king of the village when he was a child, this bad boy who used to bully others everywhere, this guy who worshiped the supremacy of Gounod's power.

What Yang Sanjin said is indeed right, only the strong are qualified to pity the weak.

But Qi Wang also felt that kindness should not be divided into strength, species, or boundaries, but it should not make sense to say this to Yang Sanjin.

"Thank you for the meat."

Qi Wang thanked him again, he took a few steps back, thought about it, and suddenly turned to Yang Sanjin and said, "If you think that only the strong are qualified, then I will try my best to become a strong man." ”

Yang Sanjin was slightly stunned, he looked at the lonely young man walking on the bluestone road with a bag of rice and meat, the sunset pulled his figure, twisted and long.

Yang Sanjin just smiled in the end and said to himself, "You really don't look like a Guno person. ”

That is to say, Lanbo Village is isolated from the world, and the Guno habits infected are quite light, and in other cities, people like Qi Wang are not suitable at all, and they cannot survive.

The Empire revered the Gounod Rule, which was proposed by Shi Wenyin, the Commander of Gounod, and it had been thoroughly applied to Gounod since the previous king fell from the throne, and it was easy for a single leader to make mistakes, but not for three.

Gounod's law means force, cunning, and cunning, and it is the three most powerful of Gounod who represent all three, such as the leader of power, Liuus, the leader of strategy, Shi Wenyin, and the cunning king who has never appeared in the public but controls everything.

This makes Gounod the most brutal region in the Runeterrine Continent, and only the harbor on the other side of the mixed sects and nine streams can compare to it.

Qi Wang didn't care about this, he only knew that if someone needed help, he should reach out to help, just like when he was dying of hunger in the snow, everyone in the village would squeeze out the last bite of food to leave for him.

Moreover......

Qi Wang smiled, who in the village could have so many things about the outside world in his mind like Master Li, and he could take the trouble to tell him about it?
