Around noon, the aircraft landed in the wasteland not far from Iron Mountain Town.

Iron Slag opened the hatch, took a deep breath, and rode back to Iron Mountain on the red comet.

Looking at the familiar neighborhood, a sense of intimacy arises. It's been more than two years, but not much has changed. The streets are still messy, with scraps of paper flying everywhere, and the streets are lined with stalls, and homeless people are curled up in the corners of the walls and sleeping soundly......

He drove his locomotive slowly down the streets, looking left and right, like a businessman who had just arrived here.

However, not long after he entered the town, a one-eyed old man suddenly stopped his way, and begged with his hands folded: "Rich man, it's good, I haven't eaten for a few days......" ”

Iron Slag frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I'm a clerk from Sand City, please don't affect my work." As he spoke, he lifted his flat glasses.

When the old man heard him say this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly pulled the little boy out of the way.

He twisted the throttle and drove forward a little bit. He had seen the one-eyed old man before, shrewd as an old gerbil, and had been in Iron Mountain for years.

As he passed by Dr. Narcissus' small clinic, he stopped, watched from a distance for a moment, and then quietly left. After all, he was a wanted criminal in Silver City, and there was no need to let too many people know that he was back.

It wasn't that he didn't trust this friend, but the purpose of his trip was just to come back and see if Lena was okay and let her know that he was still alive. Perhaps, he was still looking forward to that warm embrace......

Before he knew it, he had come to the vicinity of the Iron Mountain Town Municipality. From a distance, the two-story building of the Guild is still the same, hardly unchanged, even the broken window edges are exactly the same as before.

The only change is that there is an extra statue in front of the door. From a distance, the statue is a tall, thin old man. The old man looked at the sky with his head held high, carrying a large cloth bag on his shoulder. The bag was so stuffed that something resembling an angle iron and parts spilled out of the bag.

This is the image of an old man picking up garbage that can be seen everywhere in Iron Mountain Town. At this time, the afternoon sun was very dazzling, and the old man's face could not be seen clearly in the distance.

When he got closer, he was suddenly surprised! This is none other than his adoptive father, the Iron Old Man!

His gaze quickly moved down, and he saw that the sign in front of the sculpture read: "Dedicated to our heroes!"

Temporarily suppressing the shock in his heart, and taking another look at the familiar face, he parked the car and walked quickly into the Autonomous Council.

The office hall was still full of people, and no one paid attention to his arrival. He lowered his head slightly and slowly walked up to the second floor. I straightened my clothes in front of the office in the middle, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open with both hands.

However, what awaits him is not a warm embrace, but an incomparably strange decoration.

In an instant, his eyes widened in astonishment, only to see a strange middle-aged man sitting at the front of the desk.

Seeing him push the door, the other party turned his head to look over. The two looked at each other, and the middle-aged man frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Is there something wrong?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

"This ...... Not...... It's okay, sorry, I went wrong. Iron Slag forcibly suppressed the violent shock in his heart, and quickly replied in a trembling voice, and then pulled the doorknob and retreated.

A few seconds later, he left the congregation in a sense of loss. Stepping onto the locomotive, he scratched his hair fiercely, and for a moment his thoughts were confused, not knowing what to do.

After thinking calmly for a long time, he decided to take a look at the garrison of Iron Mountain Town. He also had a few acquaintances there who might be able to ask for news about Lena.

A moment later, he came to the garrison's quarters. Through the guards, he learned a piece of good news that made him overjoyed!

The old flute is still there! And he is also the vice-captain of the garrison. This means that Lena has not lost power, and she still has a firm grip on the armed forces of Iron Mountain Town.

Without the support of the garrison, the new sheriff in the office is just a puppet on the table.

He breathed a sigh of relief, at least he wouldn't lose news of Lena.

After a while, the guards knocked on the door of the captain's office with iron slag. Lao Di recognized the iron slag at a glance, hurriedly sent the guards away, pulled him into the back room, and asked in shock, "Brother Tie, why are you back!?" ”

Iron Slag grinned, and roughly talked about the experience of the past two years, and then asked where Lena was.

Lao Di said that when the iron slag fled, the people of Lei Ling's family went to Tieshan Town three or four times to find trouble with Lina. Because they knew that Lena had a close relationship with the Iron Slag, they repeatedly asked her to tell her where the Iron Slag went.

In the end, Lina was annoyed by the question, so she rushed directly to the thirteenth Silver City and seriously injured the Lei Ling family's Saint Rank family master! Lao Di said that he never imagined that Lena could hide so deeply, and even he, who gets along day and night, didn't know her true strength.

Later, the three Holy Orders of the Thirteenth Silver City attacked at the same time and besieged Lina.

The old flute said vividly, the scene of that day was really magnificent, like the gods in the sky fighting, their figures were like lightning piercing the sky, and when they fought each other, they were thunderous, roaring, as if even the earth was trembling!

Lena was undefeated with one against three. In the end, the leader of the rain sacrifice proposed a truce, saying that the matter would be turned one page at a time, and each other would no longer pursue each other.

"That's fine...... Iron Slag sighed.

"What else can they do, they can't win any of the three fights, and if they continue to fight, they will only lose both." Lao Di said.

When she came back that day, Lena called Lao Di to her office that night, saying that her strength had been exposed, and that for some reason, she could not stay in Iron Mountain Town. Lao Di was a little puzzled, so he asked why. Lena didn't answer, so she said that the golden sandworm egg had hatched, and she was going to the endless sand sea to raise the worm and hide it by the way.

She also told Lao Di not to talk about it to anyone.

Iron slag asks why? Old Di said that he didn't know, anyway, a few days after Lena left, the people from the temple came, and he was a regional archbishop!

The archbishop was very kind and unexpectedly polite, and only politely inquired about Lena's whereabouts. Naturally, the old flute did not say anything, and the archbishop did not embarrass him. Before leaving, the archbishop left a message saying that if Lena returned, he would like to invite her to Silver City 17.

After saying this, the old flute took out a short flute from the safe and handed it to the iron slag. The flute is made entirely of stainless steel and is about the size of a cigarette.

The old flute said that this flute is called "insect flute", and when it is blown, it will emit a subtle low-frequency infrasound wave, which can travel to a distance of 5,000 meters. Lena said that if the iron slag wanted to find her in the future, he would go to the endless sand sea and blow the worm whistle, and if she was nearby, he would rush over.

Iron Slag puts the worm flute on the necklace that Lena gave him, and then asks about the old flute statue.

Lao Di said that since Lena showed her extraordinary strength, the people of the Silver City garrison have become well-behaved and like rabbits when they come to Iron Mountain Town. And those nobles of Yincheng have also lost a lot of arrogance.

For this reason, the people of Iron Mountain Town wanted to thank Lena, but they did not dare to make her sculpture, for fear that it would be ugly and cause her displeasure.

So they wanted to make a sculpture of iron slag to please Lena. However, Iron Slag is a wanted criminal, and if he makes a sculpture, it will definitely attract the grudge of No. 13 Yincheng and the Lei Ling family. Later, at the suggestion of the Narcissus doctor, after some heated discussions, they decided to make a sculpture of the Iron Old Man......

Hearing this explanation, Iron Slag couldn't help but roll his eyes, saying that neither he nor Old Man Tie appreciated it.

Next, the two chatted about trivial matters. In the evening, Iron Slag said goodbye to the old flute and returned to the vehicle in a red comet.

With a roar, the aircraft slowly rose into the air and flew to the far west......

(End of Volume IV)

[Author's note: Finally finished writing Volume 4, our journey has a complete beginning, and the story of Yincheng has really begun.

I have classified the first four volumes as "Setting Sail", which tells the story of an orphan who came out of the garbage heap in Iron Mountain Town, and transformed from a teenager to a young adult.

This is the end of the story, but also the beginning.

Next, we will enter a new chapter - "Academy Chapter".

The college chapter may be more relaxed and pleasant, without much heaviness, and some friends will definitely say:

"What are you talking about when you shoulder a heavy responsibility!" "Are you worthy of your blood-soaked predecessors in doing this!" "What a taste! Say the vicissitudes of life! It's hard to say that it's okay to say ninety-nine-eighty-one! "Why have you become so laid-back, your sense of mission!?"

Some friends will prophesy: "The last days write about love and love, and two years later, they will go to training and compete with a group of low-IQ little children for women." ”

Correct......

In order to avoid the above criticism, I had to make some explanations early. As Kozan Blood Wolf said, if you want to take on a heavy responsibility, you must see the lights and learn to love and not love, so that you can face your heart and make the most suitable choice for yourself in the future.

Can a person who has distracting thoughts and has never seen anything stick to his obsession for a long time and remain unchanged?

Only when you have seen the sea will you not want to be a drop of water again.

"See yourself, then face yourself, and finally find yourself."

This is a guideline from Kozan and has nothing to do with the author.
