The two spent the night in the carriage on the side of the street, and the wooden planks of the carriage were cold and hard in late autumn, and at first glance at Mann, who was lying next to him and sleeping soundly while salivaing, he shook his head, and did not know how he fell asleep.

"Hey, hey. Mann rolled over, with a smirk on his face, and said in his sleep, "Gold." ”

This kid really thinks about money at all times, but is this greed, most people in the world should be greedy.

Hatsu shrugged his shoulders, leaned back in the carriage, and closed his eyes.

And then Mann said again: "At the beginning, we were one and a half. ”

······

When the sky began to light up, Hatsu woke Mann.

This kid slept very deeply, and he woke up faintly after kicking him several times with his foot, and seeing that he didn't want to wake up, he should have had a sweet dream last night.

But no matter how beautiful the dream is, it's time for them to wake up, and if they want to be the richest man on the continent, they won't make much money by staying here.

Just after dawn, a carriage drove out of the city, and Mann told him that the city was called Lancer, and that he had wandered here since he was a child.

As he was about to leave, Mann lay on the side of the carriage, looked at the city as it faded away, and waved his hand.

He had lived in the city for many years, and it was fair to say that he was familiar with every street, and this should be his hometown, if the city was willing to admit him as an orphan.

But whether the city admits it or not, Mann will remember it, and one day, he should be back here.

He was an orphan, but he didn't want to be really homeless.

The carriage was somewhat bumpy on the dirt roads in the countryside outside the city.

At the beginning of pulling the reins, the clothes on her body had changed into the appearance of a merchant's assistant.

"So what?" asked casually, "Where are we going after that?"

"Go west. Mann shrank back from the outside of the carriage and sat down in his seat, "We're going to collect our first shipment." ”

He once heard from a merchant that the first batch of goods was very particular, and if the principal was small, the most stable way to go west was to collect a cart of food that could be preserved for a long time, and then transport it to the westernmost city to sell, and make several times as much money as he could make by walking a few more times in the autumn.

As for why, because autumn in the west is always short of food.

The warm sun, the swaying trees, the soft dirt path, the stones on the side of the road, and the green grass.

At the beginning, while driving the carriage, he silently perceived the passing scenery, and even the weeds passing by.

This was the first world she experienced after regaining her memory, and every detail made her pay attention unconsciously.

Mann must have been a little bored, so he rummaged through his fanny pack and pulled out a melodica.

He casually blew the dust on it, squinted his eyes, put it to his mouth and blew it.

The melodica made a sound like the wind on the road, melodious, mixed with the wind and drifting on the road, and there were always people in the taverns of Lancer City who hummed such tunes.

The merchant left his hometown, and the long journey took a little leisurely and longing.

By the time a tune was finished, the city of Lancer in the distance was too small to be seen.

"Chu. Mann asked, holding his harmonica, half-lying in the carriage.

"Where is your hometown?"

She was stunned for a moment, she didn't know which one to answer, and after a while, she gave a vague answer.

"A place where there is nothing. ”

Whether it was the Apostolic Wasteland or her original hometown, there was nothing left for her.

"Nothing?" Mann pursed his lips, then smiled.

"Don't worry, when we make money, we can buy anything. ”

The richest man in the world, capable of having everything, he thinks so. And as a partner, he is willing to share all this with Chu.

It can only be said that he is still a child after all.

Chu didn't answer, because she knew that there would always be something that money couldn't buy, and human greed couldn't be satisfied.

She's the same, it's just that her greed is out of control.

The two of them walked all day to the west, and Mann bought a map, which, according to the map, should be two days away from a small village, where Mann planned to receive his goods.

After nightfall, the two wanted to make a little fire and spend the night on the side of the road, but suddenly a thunderstorm fell in the middle of the day, and they had to sit in a carriage for the night.

But this night, Mann couldn't sleep as soundly as he did last night.

"Boom. ”

A thunderclap resounded in the air, and crackling raindrops pounded on the carriage.

In the carriage, Mann huddled against the wall with his arms in his arms, and his face turned pale and trembled at every thunderclap.

"Are you afraid of thunder?"

Chu sat on the other side, looking at Mann with interest, she had thought that a child like him should be very bold.

"Who, who said it. ”

Mann shuddered, his speech was a little unpleasant, and there was no blood on his lips.

It was dark and thunderstormy, which reminded him of that night long ago.

"Boom!"

There was another thunderclap, and Mann closed his eyes, trying to control his trembling body.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a cold body sitting beside him.

He opened his eyes and saw Hatsu stretch out a hand, half-wrapped around his shoulder.

A cold chin rested on his forehead and said softly.

"Alright, don't be afraid. ”

It's just that the voice of sin is hoarse, and there is no tenderness.

Mann felt his face heat and tried to break free, but another thunderclap stopped him.

"Don't treat me like a child. ”

He complained quietly, but his trembling body was not convincing,

Chu didn't speak, and sat silently beside him.

After a long time, Mann's trembling body gradually settled down.

In the darkness, the boy lowered his eyes and whispered.

"Thank you. ”

"It doesn't matter. Chu put his arm around his shoulders and smiled.

"We're partners, aren't we?"

······

One night many years ago, a merchant arrived outside Lancer City with his family carrying goods.

The merchant said to his family that he would sell the goods quickly, and then make a fortune that would buy a new dress for his wife and toys and sweets for his children.

But they were confronted by a troop of robbers, who robbed them of their goods, killed the adults, and only one child escaped and ran into the city of Lancer.

It was a thunderstorm night, and to this day, the child cannot forget the thunder that roared in his ears.
