Act V: Closing the Gate
What these two men were going to do was never decided on the spur of the moment.
Ten years ago, Rhine said that he wanted to build a grand cemetery for his father, so two five-year-old children piled earth on that little dirt bag day after day, and finally piled it up two heads higher than the graves of the previous city lords. Speaking of which, Rhine never cried at his father's grave once, because his father whispered to him that "the world here is more difficult", so Rhine believes that his father in that world can be truly peaceful.
Six years ago, Rhine said that there were elves living at the end of the creek and were looking for the source of the stream, so the two nine-year-olds walked along the stream for two days with food. Eventually found out that there was a waterfall above the stream and a river behind the waterfall, and they didn't know what was behind the river because it was too long. But it is said that walking all the way along the river leads to a very cold place.
Three years ago, Harrest heard that there was a place in the city where there were many beautiful young ladies, so the two twelve-year-olds secretly went to the city at night, only to be caught by the tavern proprietor. The proprietress saw that the two teenagers were stunned and undeceived, and it was still in the middle of the night, so she took them in and slept with her daughter for the night. Of course, nothing was done.
Today, the two of them made an appointment to go to the giant gate pass a hundred miles away the day after tomorrow, so the day after tomorrow, there will definitely be no two fifteen-year-old boys in Ota City.
Early the next morning, Harrest asked his father for fifteen silver coins, saying that he was going to see the Great Gate. Xue Ji just handed the fragmentary silver coins to Harrest, and then said a word of peace and did not interfere again. Fifteen silver coins, which is the total income of the year during the snow season.
Hallrest and Rhein went to the city and each went to their own academy to say hello. Hallest's there was fine, but Rhein and the teacher struggled for a long time.
After taking leave, the two of them went to the old man to buy two short swords and a chest guard. Before leaving, the old man learned that they were going to the Great Gate Pass, and gave them a map.
In the end, the two went to the cattle market and picked two black horses, one of which was eight silver. So far, the two of them have added up to twenty silver, and now there are only one hundred and fifty copper coins left.
In the middle of the night, Harrest and Rhein led their horses back to the village, and the snow season had just made a fragrant meal, and meat appeared on the table for a long time.
"You've all grown up, it's time to go out and see, but be safe in everything! Just run away when you encounter a guy who can't beat it! There is nothing to be ashamed of! "It was easy to chat with the two of them during the snow season.
"Dad, don't worry, don't you know how fast I run, besides, we're just going to see, not to go to war." Hallester replied with a big grin as he ate the meat.
"Don't worry, Dad, the two of us are very strong, unless the demon king himself comes out, otherwise those little ghosts will not be able to hurt us!" In order to liven up the atmosphere, Rhein, who is not good at jokes, also told jokes.
Xue Ji looked at the two teenagers and didn't say much, just blindly served them vegetables.
Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will enter the wine, and the cup will not stop. The three of them drank home-brewed rice wine until the moon set and the stars were scarce, and it was quiet in the dead of night.
Early the next morning, the two teenagers got on their horses. Snow season pretended to be asleep at first, but then couldn't help it anymore and frankly got up and ran after their horses.
"Daddy! When we return! In the spring breeze in the evening and evening, the fragrance of clothes is floating all over the road! Hallester sat on his horse and shouted loudly into the snow.
Rhine was wearing the slightly larger set of Missing Moon Knight armor, and he also waved vigorously at the father behind him, and the slight impact of the armor whirred like a silver bell.
"Looking at the road ahead, the lucky stars shine to the end of the world! Be careful all the way! As the two horses were about to leave sight, Xue Ji finally shouted at the top of his throat.
Halai Xueji was just a farmer, and he himself thought that his life had been miserable with his daughter-in-law and his two children. When his daughter-in-law died, Xue Ji swore that he would protect the two children no matter what he said. But now he has a sense of powerlessness in his heart, he is just a farmer, who can he protect......
