In the Yandongzhai Inn, the wild bull was furious, swallowing and spitting like a fierce beast, his eyes swept over a row of corpses lying on the ground, he shouted violently, his body burned with golden light, and he kicked on the stone mill in the backyard, and the stone mill was kicked to smash with a bang.

The mad bull was still angry, grabbed the rat-eyed man, and roared angrily: "Did you arrest someone who shouldn't be arrested, and offended someone who shouldn't be offended?"

The rat-eyed man was frightened, he knew the iron-blooded methods of the mad bull, and said with a bitter face: "Boss, spare your life! Everyone has been followed up by the brothers for a long time, and it is impossible to make mistakes." ”

The bruises on the arms of the mad bull swelled, and he easily lifted the rat-eyed man above his head, and with a deep fall, the rat-eyed man fell heavily to the ground and raised a circle of dust, and he struggled for a long time without getting up.

The mad bull didn't give up, snorted coldly, kicked him in the leg, and the rat-eyed man's calf snapped and broke, so painful that he cried and cried, and said with tears streaming down his face: "The boss spares his life, the boss spares his life!"

Seeing this, several companions on the side also broke out in a cold sweat and took a few steps back.

The mad bull snorted: "Everything is going well, last night you caught a girl and came back this morning eight people died, not only that, but even other goods were lost, what else do you have to say." ”

The rat-eyed man rolled his eyes and shouted bitterly: "Boss, let's take my life!" I remember, when I found that girl last night, she was with a young man, and I still have an impression, let me go and find out! Maybe there is hope to find out who did it. ”

Although the mad bull is irritable, it is not completely brainless, and there are only a few people left at this time, and it will not help to kill them, so it is better to let them investigate, and then shouted: "Don't go and check it quickly, if the goods can't be found, we will have to peel off a layer of skin when we go back." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll check it out right away. The rat-eyed man's face was contorted in pain, but he had to endure it, casting a helping look at the rest of his companions. Several people hurriedly went up to pick him up and left, not daring to linger for a moment.

Jin Shi couldn't escape with a group of children, he could only hide in the mountains, he was an expert in this regard, he was confident, as long as he went into the mountains, no one would want to find them.

The children were frightened and walked a long way, collapsed on the ground and fell asleep, Jin Shi asked Xiu'er to watch them, and he picked up a pile of dry wood to make a fire to keep warm.

The temperature of the mountain is like this, it is obviously a sunny day, but there is always a cold breath in the mountain, the gold and stone are okay, the body is strong, and the cold during the day is still resistant. But except for Xiu'er, the rest of the children were shivering with cold even when they fell asleep, and they couldn't get out of the woods yet.

Jin Shi took off his cloak and put it over several children, the cloak was long enough to cover all five children horizontally. He walked up to Xiu'er, sat cross-legged, and took out the golden badge to play with it like Don.

Xiu'er asked curiously, "What is this, and you deliberately asked me not to forget it?"

Jin stared at the badge and said: "I grew up on the border of Qingshuiling, a few years ago when the war broke out, the whole village died under the enemy's sword, only I was lucky to survive. Later, he fled to Tieken City to join the army, and then followed my captain Tang to the battlefield. On the battlefield, we slaughtered all sides, killing the enemy and fleeing. In the final battle, the captain died, everyone in the team died, and I was the only one left, and the captain gave it to me before he died, so that I could inherit his will and do what he had not done. ”

Jin Shi let out a breath of turbidity, handed the badge in front of Xiu'er and said, "The captain said that this is the Jincheng Guard Badge, which is his most glorious thing, and it is his will." The captain told me to go to school after the war, saying that it would make me stronger. It's the only thing I have on my mind, the only thing I've ever cherished. ”

Xiu'er remembered the reason why Jin Shi insisted on going to Sange City that night, and suddenly felt that this badge was becoming more and more beautiful.

Jin Shi adjusted his body, faced Xiu'er, and said solemnly: "I haven't asked you anything about you since Xiaonanzhai came here, I don't know why, I think although your behavior is abnormal, I think you have a last resort, so I choose to help you." Now that I've told my story, can you tell me your story? Who are they? Why are they arresting you? Where are you going?"

Xiu'er didn't really want to talk about those dark days, but she didn't expect Jin Shi's experience to be worse than her, and they had one thing in common, they were all alone in this world, for some reason, he stared at Jin Shi's serious eyes and couldn't refuse.

Xiu'er avoided Jin Shi's eyes, hugged her knees, stared at the fire and said slowly: "The person who died outside Xiaonanzhai is my grandfather, and he can't be regarded as a grandfather, I was picked up by him." When I was seven years old, he found out that I had awakened the power of the elements, and sent me to the elemental school to study, I thought he was a good person, but I didn't expect that after two years of studying in school, he wouldn't let me learn, and asked me to cooperate with him to do things to steal chickens and dogs to pay off his gambling debts. Some time ago, we stole a demon bone bow from a noble son in Akiki City, so we wanted to find a place to make a move, but the trading house didn't dare to accept it, and we knew that we had caused trouble this time, so he decided to find a way to make a cheap shot. ”

Jin Shi turned his head and said, "So you pretended to go to the blacksmith shop to survive, and took the opportunity to let them see the demon bone bow, thinking that the poor bastard was lucky to pick up a good bow, and made them greedy for money?"

Xiu'er nodded violently, and said with a gloomy expression: "In this way, even if those nobles find the whereabouts of the demon bone bow, it is impossible to find us, who would believe that a treasure is only sold for a hundred gold coins." The blacksmith shop, in order not to make us repent, would have driven us away that day, and God had unknowingly removed the matter from the clean. ”

Jin Shi pondered carefully, this matter was indeed perfectly planned, even if the blacksmith shop offered to flee for their lives, where would they find someone? What about finding people, how could those who knew how to steal the demon bone bow only sell so much, if the nobles wanted to attack the blacksmith shop, they would be at a loss.

Jin Shi looked at Xiu'er, always feeling that he was not simple, and asked, "Was it your idea?"

Xiu'er buried her head deeper, nodded, and said, "I'm going to get rid of him, but he's a wind archmage, and I can't run away without enough time." I want to go to an elemental school and need tuition, so I came up with this idea and asked him to pretend to work in a blacksmith shop, and I deliberately appeared in front of people who knew the goods with a big bow, and pretended to sell the demon bone bow to escape by chance. ”

Jin Shi was shocked, Xiu'er was so thoughtful at a young age, and her escape plan was so perfect, killing two birds with one stone, not only escaping to gain time, but also swallowing a sum of money.

Jin Shi said again: "You didn't leave Xiaonanzhai that night, in order to avoid his pursuit?"

The more Xiu'er spoke, the more gloomy her expression became, and she shook her head and said: "It's not that I don't want to leave, but I don't have the strength to go out at all, I have been hungry for three days before that, and I can't walk when I walk to the entrance of the village, so I can only find a place to hide." ”

Jin Shi figured out why Xiu'er always chewed and swallowed slowly, but that night she gobbled up, and her mouth was full of oil, maybe she might faint from hunger if she didn't eat again!

Jin Shi asked again: "But why did you find me? If you have the money, you can buy your own clothes, or hire a carriage to avoid his pursuit." ”

Xiu'er's expression suddenly became relaxed, and she glanced at Jin Shi and said: "So you don't know what kind of place it is, Xiaonanzhai is a hell that eats meat and doesn't spit out bones, and I am a little girl who goes to buy things, not only can't buy things, but also may lose both people and money." I've seen with my own eyes that children are traded as goods. ”

Jin Shi was glanced at by Xiu'er, and was naturally unhappy, so he joked: "You didn't do it when you asked you to change your clothes that night, it turned out that I was afraid that I would see money, right?"

Xiu'er pretended to be pitiful and said, "You want me to give it to you, but can you leave me some tuition, I really want to go to an elemental school." ”

Jin Shi could stand it, embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic, saying, "You haven't said that there are so many people on the street, why did you find me?"

Xiu'er changed her playful face and said, "Because you smiled at me at the blacksmith shop, I felt that you were not a bad person, so I found you." ”

Jin Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "Am I smiling?"

"Well, you have. Xiu'er replied very simply.

Jin Shi was embarrassed and said, "Okay, I have." ”

Pi was very happy, and Xiu'er laughed flamboyantly, but she didn't laugh out loud very measuredly, but hid and laughed secretly.

Jin Shi didn't laugh, and said, "You gambled and asked me to take you shopping so that you can disguise yourself." But you didn't trust anyone after all, so you distanced yourself from me afterwards, and the next day you used me to mix in the back of the convoy, so that the convoy would not have any bad intentions, and I would not dare to attack you. ”

Xiu'er's smile stopped abruptly, and there was only a deep silence.

Jin Shi said again: "You are not lucky, that person is actually on the same path as you, and if you are hungry, you will have to check if you meet a similar one." ”

Xiu'er looked aggrieved and choked up: "I'm sorry, I'm really scared." ”

Although he was being used, Jin Shi couldn't get angry at all and asked, "How much do you know about the people who captured you?"

Xiu'er shook her head and said: "I don't know who they are, I just know that they will come every once in a while, and I can often hear the news that the children were lost, and I am used to seeing them around Xiaonanzhai, so I don't dare to go to the clothing store alone." I also knew that the man had thrown me into school not out of good intentions, but to sell it for a good price, but I was still of some use, so he kept me. Not long ago, someone was secretly watching me, and I knew that person was trying to sell me. I don't know where I'm going to be sold, but it's definitely worse than before. ”

Xiu'er changed her posture and said: "In front of that person, I have been hiding my strength, just hoping to get rid of him one day, but he doesn't give me time, so I have no choice but to take risks and give it a try." ”

After listening to Xiu'er's story, Jin Shi didn't speak for a long time, her story was bizarre and tragic, although she was smart, she was unlucky, and she couldn't get rid of the nightmare, so she wanted to become stronger!

Jin Shi didn't blame Xiu'er, and after being silent for a long time, he whispered: "It's all over." ”

Xiu'er nodded, stared at Jin Shi strangely, and was silent for a long time, trying to ask, "Can I trust you?"

"Yes. ”

The forest was very quiet, the only sound came from the slight popping sound in the fire, and the golden stone added a piece of new wood to it, and beside the warm fire, Xiu'er's face was rosy, and the corners of her mouth were smiling.
