027. The Prologue Kicks Off (Happy New Year, everyone!) )
"This is a temporary hunter's certificate, I'll help you get the rest of the formalities when you return to the guild, don't forget to go to the hunting ceremony when the time comes. What happens in this village, please don't tell others, or I'll find you desperately. I flashed, no need to send it, bye-bye! Gordon finished a long list of words in one breath, and then led the little brother to run away without looking back.
Bai Xiaoqiu leaned against the entrance of the village with a kind of villager, shook his handkerchief and shouted: "Inspector Gordon, go all the way, come and eat mushrooms again when you have time!" ~~~”
Gordon almost stepped on his cloak and fell into the ground.
That's right, Gordon still hasn't issued Bai Xiaoqiu a formal hunter qualification, according to him, "I'm not a qualification examiner", in fact, he just didn't want to send it if he was unhappy. However, as a hush money and a safe departure, he left something called a temporary hunter certificate.
The so-called temporary hunter and the official hunter are actually no different, the benefits that the official hunter can enjoy Bai Xiaoqiu can also enjoy now, but there is one point, the validity period of this certificate only lasts until the start of this year's hunting ceremony, if you pass the guò ceremony, you will naturally become an official hunter, if you don't pass the guò certificate, the certificate will be invalid, and the young man please start all over again.
Bai Xiaoqiu didn't have any opinion on this, but it would take a little more effort when the time came, it was not a big deal, but the old village chief was a little unhappy, but Gordon didn't let go, and he couldn't do anything.
finally sent Gordon away, and also got a temporary hunter identity, and that night, Bai Xiaoqiu ran to find the old village chief again.
"You can tell me where that long knife is, right?" As soon as Bai Xiaoqiu entered the door, he asked urgently.
The village chief was drinking a little wine, and while beckoning Bai Xiaoqiu to sit down, he replied: "I didn't tell you before, I was just afraid that you would be distracted, but now that you have obtained the status of a temporary hunter, I have nothing to worry about." Listen, that long knife is called Shadow Seam, and it's hiding in Waterside Town right now. ”
"Waterfront?"
"That's right, it's the town where Shi Manqian is located, and it's three or four days away from here."
"Then I'll leave in two days and get that knife in my hands as soon as possible."
"Take? I'll build yì you still steal it. The old village chief said lazily.
"Why steal?"
"That knife should be in the hands of the mayor of Waterside Town now, whether you buy it or want it, he won't give it to you, because that knife is very promising." The old village chief said matter-of-factly.
"Very promising?" The more Bai Xiaoqiu listened, the more confused she became.
"That shadow slit is said to be made of the keel of the Void Breaking Dragon, and it was also a divine weapon that moved the rivers and lakes back then, and it is said that it has some kind of magical power, but no one has really seen it. It's just that time has passed, and the shadow crack is now dull, not to mention cutting monsters, even if it is used to chop vegetables, it has to be disliked for being uncomfortable, but its own legendary significance makes it still very valuable The mayor of Waterside Town is a collector, and it is impossible to give you that knife. ”
Bai Xiaoqiu nodded: "Then I'll steal it!" ”
The old village chief was silent for a moment and handed Bai Xiaoqiu a glass of wine: "You have already decided to leave?" ”
Bai Xiaoqiu drank it all and said with a smile: "Didn't you see it a long time ago?" ”
"That's right," the old village chief laughed too, "is it better for the young man to go out and walk around more and come back?" ”
"Of course, if I can't go home, where can I go if I don't go back here?"
There was silence in the room, and after a while, Bai Xiaoqiu suddenly asked, "Why are you helping me so much?" ”
The old village chief half-closed his eyes and said, "When people are old, they always want the world to remember something." I can see what you're looking for, much like when I was younger, and I want to help you out when I have the means, to be happy, and to make people remember me for a while. ”
Bai Xiaoqiu was silent again, and suddenly smiled: "Don't you think I'm suspicious?"
The old village chief took a sip of wine: "Of course it is suspicious, you kid has secrets all over his body." It's just that my old man is sitting here, how big a wave can you make? ”
"Then you're not curious and don't want to ask?"
"Everyone has secrets, and some things should not be delved into too deeply, just like you can see that I and Erniu have secrets, but haven't you never asked?"
Bai Xiaoqiu silently put down the wine glass: "I will come back often to take a look."
The old village chief nodded: "Before leaving, come to me for training and training, and I will teach you to press the things at the bottom of the box." ”
"This is easy to say" Bai Xiaoqiu suddenly smiled up, "That's the good fare"
"I remember, I won't forget!"
After leaving the village chief's house, Bai Xiaoqiu walked to the small river last time.
He looked at the moon in the sky with some melancholy, and unconsciously took out the tattered copycat mobile phone.
Most of the phone's functions have been scrapped, but fortunately, the music player is still usable, and the battery is always full.
He clicked on a song casually, and while the song sounded in his ears, his thoughts slowly sank, and finally he didn't know where it fell.
"Look up at the endless gray clouds, the season is called loneliness;"
"The backpack was stuffed with household use, and the road began to walk."
"The sun does not see the warmth of the day, and the blue of the moon does not see the night light;"
"I had to choose a cold start, leaving only regrets."
The lyrics of this song are not very appropriate, and Wang Leehom is not a singer that Bai Xiaoqiu likes very much, but listening to it, Bai Xiaoqiu's eyes involuntarily turned red.
"Hypocrisy!" Bai Xiaoqiu scolded himself, put away his mobile phone and was about to stand up, but found that Shi Manqian had already sat beside him at some point.
"What are you holding? Where did the sound come from? Shi Manqian asked with some curiosity.
"I'm sorry, I'm noisy with you," Bai Xiaoqiu put away his phone and said, "As for this thing, you can use it as a music box." ”
Shi Manqian nodded, no longer dwelling on the matter of the mobile phone, but showed a smile that was very in line with her classical royal sister temperament and asked, "Homesick?" ”
Bai Xiaoqiu nodded honestly: "Leaving home, it is inevitable to be a little melancholy." ”
"Is your hometown far from here?"
"Far, far away, probably never going back"
"But people always have to look forward."
"Yes, as long as the road under your feet is still there, people will keep moving forward."
After being silent for a while, Shi Manqian suddenly said: "By the way, I will also leave after a while, and I am going to go back to Bangshui Town." ”
"Waterfront? That's right, let's drop by. ”
"You're going to Waterside too?"
"Well, I'm going to find something."
"Okay, let's go together, just so that you can see my field cooking."
"You've said that since the first time we met, I haven't eaten it until now"
"Haha, don't worry, you'll be able to taste it soon."
At this time, Bai Xiaoqiu didn't know how terrible Shi Manqian's "cooking skills" were
――――――――――――――――
In a strangely dark cave, Gordon was half-kneeling in front of a dark figure.
"Linghu is dead?" The dark shadow asked in a hoarse voice.
"The subordinates have already been determined, and they died next to Yishan Village. And its death seems to be related to a teenager named Bai Xiaoqiu. Gordon reported in great detail: "That Bai Xiaoqiu's subordinates have already been tested, and their strength will never exceed that of the lower rank, and the tiger should not have died in his hands, and there are other people who do it." ”
"Tell me about that Bai Xiaoqiu in detail."
"Yes! After his subordinates came into contact, they found that this Bai Xiaoqiu was very knowledgeable and smart, but his strength was not worth mentioning, but this kid was a bit evil. ”
"Oh?" The Shadow seemed to be interested.
"His basic hunter skills are far beyond his actual combat strength, and he can always achieve his goals through some methods that are difficult for his subordinates to understand." Gordon said with a strange expression.
"That little character doesn't care about him for the time being." Black Shadow said, "Linghu's death is a great loss, and it is imperative to make up for this loss, and the layout of Yishan Village is very important to our plan, and we must not allow mistakes!" ”
"My subordinates understand."
"You must be more careful with the layout of Yishan Village, and I'd rather make a slower progress than let Li Ergouzi find out. That old guy is so scheming that he doesn't know how many backhands he has hidden, and I don't want to fight him if the situation allows, do you understand? ”
"Yes!"
"Well, let's go" The black shadow nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly said as if remembering something: "By the way, that Bai Xiaoqiu, you send someone to contact him more and probe his bottom I heard that the 'hunter' seems to be around there." ”
"'Hunter'?" Gordon's eyes flickered, and then he nodded sharply and said, "My subordinates know what to do." ”
