Chapter 161: Hello, my name is Chen Xiao
In the evening, the afterglow is shining, and the old town is gradually bustling with activity, and many people who have gone out to work are returning home.
Smoke rises from the small houses, where the women of the family are cooking dinner and waiting for her husband's return from farming
At this time of the day, it is always the most lively, and some children will also come out to play in the sunset, or in groups of three or five, or in pairs of three or two, playing with stones and playing hide and seek.
The courtyard on the west side of the town is where the old mayor's house is located, and at this moment, there is a warm scene being staged inside.
A beautiful girl gently helped a pale teenager out of the room step by step, looking at the sunset, sighing and sighing.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xiao has been recuperating here for half a month, in fact, he woke up on the third day, but the injury was so serious that he couldn't even speak, so he could only barely open his eyes and look at the girl's meticulous care for him.
Chen Xiao, who has lived alone since he was a child, has ever felt the feeling of being cared for like this?
A kind of warm feeling grows in his heart, and the old mayor often shushs and asks for warmth, that kind look makes Chen Xiao want to cry every time, he actually longs for himself to have such a family, but he doesn't.
Fate is not fair, everyone will experience different things, Chen Xiao's mentality has been changing in these days, becoming the kind he once wanted, but did not have the courage to change.
Today, Chen Xiao's body has improved again, although he can't move much, but with the support of Ella, he can barely walk outside the room and watch the sunset in the distance.
Once, when he looked at the sunset, he always felt that it was like his own life, a dim end, but now, when he looks at the sunset, he sees gorgeous clouds and beautiful glow, and even he will look forward to the morning glow tomorrow morning.
"You take care of your injuries, in fact, you are a good person, many people in the town have often come to visit you during this time, when you recover your health, can you stop being a little gangster?"
When the sun finally set on the mountain, Ella turned her head to look at Chen Xiao, with a hint of prayer and expectation in her eyes.
"Will he promise me?"
With such thoughts and doubts, Ella's eyes were firmly fixed on Chen Xiao, whether Chen Xiao agreed or not, she would take care of Chen Xiao until Chen Xiao regained her ability to survive, but if Chen Xiao was still a gangster in the future, Ella might find a good family to marry.
"Hello, reacquaint, my name is Chen Xiao, the land of the Lance Continent, the bright star of the starry sky, Chen Xiao's Chen" Chen Xiao raised his head, his eyes were full of the light of life, he looked at Ella fixedly and nodded gently.
Ella's meticulous care and consideration for him have already melted his cold heart, he was originally a kind person, although he has a flowing appearance, but he doesn't care, it has become his habit to live with a mask, but for the sake of this girl, he can't say why, he feels that he can do anything.
Time flies, three months have passed in the blink of an eye, Chen Xiao's injury that originally took half a year to heal is almost healed at this time, I dare not say how strong it is, but it is not much worse than a normal person.
Early in the morning, the sky was shining, and on the road west of the town, a young man wearing a linen robe and carrying a small package on his back was bidding farewell to the whole orthography.
"Can you tell me where you're going, what are you going to do, and will you be back?"
Ella was teary-eyed, three months of getting along made her have feelings for Chen Xiao, at this moment, separation is imminent, and her heart is full of reluctance.
"I'm going to learn to be vindictive, I'm going to learn skills, I'm going to be a man who can rely on you, and then, I'm going to come back and marry you, I'm going to come back to protect this town, and everyone in this town······"
Chen Xiao's eyes are full of determination, Ella is a girl with personality and has her own pursuits, not like ordinary peasant women, so Chen Xiao wants to give Ella the life she wants, and he wants to be a man that Ella can look at.
"Douqi, hum, is it so studious? boy, I hope you can really do it, Ella will wait for you for three years at most, and if you don't come back after three years, we will let Ella marry the expression of the distance"
It was Ella's parents who spoke, they had seen Chen Xiao several times in the past three months, and they were also familiar with Chen Xiao, at this moment Chen Xiao was about to leave, this child who seemed good to them was finally going to spread his wings and fly out to create his own sky, but the way they encouraged was not to inspire, but to look down on people.
Chen Xiao is young and frivolous, and his blood is strong, maybe it is useless for others to use the agitation method against him, but Ella's parents are exceptions.
"Don't worry, I, Chen Xiao, will do what I say"
When the daylight finally brightened, the people of the village began their busy work again, and only a young girl was still standing at the entrance of the village looking at the intersection in the distance, where the back had long since disappeared and could not be seen.
Half a year later.
The Lance Continent is divided into several countries, and to the west of the Lance Continent is the Kahlan Empire, which is a famous excesses for Dou Qi, and the warriors here are all cultivating Dou Qi, and ordinary people here will be taken by the people of the Dou Qi Association for testing as long as they reach the age of six, as long as they are qualified, they can cultivate Dou Qi.
There is a deep jungle in the west of the Karan continent, this jungle is very large, it borders all three countries, and no one has even walked to the center of this jungle.
According to legend, this jungle contains the most powerful magical beasts in the entire Lance Continent, as well as many other strange races, and the area of an entire forest is more than an empire.
It is a place full of legends, there have been legends of elves, traces of dwarves, giants, etc., and it is a paradise for adventurers.
People have given this forest a very interesting name, it is called the Oooo
At this moment, in the area where the forest is close to the Karan Empire, this is the outer edge of the forest, and it is relatively quiet, but there are also many wild beasts of all kinds, and there are often many hunters who will haunt here.
The meat of the prey caught in these places is delicious, and the fur can be sold for a very good price, attracting the attention of many people, and there are many magicians and fighters who will enter the forest through the passages here to venture out and seek their wealth, so it is very lively here.
There was a black pine forest growing next to the path into the forest, and there was a large tavern built by wandering swordsmen and magicians who used it as a place for adventurers to exchange information.
At this moment, there is a bard telling the legendary story of the dragon knight Lance vs. the demon Alex countless years ago in a relatively lively venue in the tavern, and many people still listen to it with relish even if they have heard it many times, and even if they know the result, they will still be nervous at that time, as if they are really experiencing the same thing.
Crunch, the wooden tavern door was pushed open from the outside, and a young man in a black robe slowly entered the tavern.
This young man has black and thick hair, a long bow and a long sword on his body, a handsome face, and a strong body, it is Chen Xiao who has been out for half a year.
"Hey guys, guess what I saw today?"
Chen Xiao shouted as soon as he entered the tavern, many of the people in this tavern he was familiar with, he had been hunting nearby for the past two months, because he found that he did not have the talent to learn vindictiveness, but he was agile and could be a good hunter, and the prey here was very valuable, he planned to save a sum of money and go back to marry Ella.
Two months was enough time for him and the hunters to get acquainted with each other, occasionally acting together, and often drinking and farting together.
Many people in the tavern turned their eyes to Chen Xiao's words, full of interest, because although Chen Xiao is young, he is very popular and very good at talking, and often Chen Xiao's stories will be more beautiful than those told by the bard, which also makes everyone here, only the bard dislike him the most.
"Hey, Chen Xiao, have you encountered something new again? Come and listen, it's good to say that you have invited Brother Hu for this meal."
A bearded man yelled in Chen Xiao's direction, and many people laughed, and the entire tavern became lively for a while.
"You must not believe it, I just saw a duel between a sword master and an archmage, it is so exciting, needless to say, the sky is falling apart······"
Chen Xiao grunted, grabbed a wine jug on the wine table and drank it in a big gulp, and said casually as if he was enjoying it.
"Appeal ······"
The tavern suddenly booed, Sword Saint, just kidding, what kind of existence is that? Every empire has a Sword Saint, but the Sword Saint is so powerful that countless people can't even see the Sword Saint once in their lifetime, that is the greatest existence, and is worshiped by countless people.
What about the Great Magus? That's a magician who can destroy a city at will, terrifying, there are three Sword Masters in the Kalan Empire, but there is none of the Great Magisters, this Chen Xiao opened his mouth and said that he saw the battle between the Sword Saint and the Great Magus, this is even more fantastic than the Arabian Nights, who would believe it?
Boom······
However, at this moment, a sudden roar was transmitted, and the earth trembled, and even the entire tavern shook, as if it could collapse at any moment.
"Look ······"
A young man who had just pushed open the door of the tavern instantly exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention to follow him, and suddenly the entire tavern seemed to have exploded.
