"Wow......"

In a small hospital on the outskirts of Lucheng, two men and women are walking through the narrow passage of the ward area. There was silence all around, and the sound of crisp heels could be heard far away.

By the faint light, you can see that the woman is wearing a professional dress, although she looks not young, at least thirty or forty years old, but she is very well maintained, the skin on her face is fresh and smooth, except for some looming crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, her age is not visible at all.

The men were younger, in their early twenties, with a well-proportioned figure and a grim face. Although he is not handsome, he has a special temperament. The gaze was plain and serene, exuding a striking light, and when it walked by, it attracted the nurses' sideways glances.

At this moment, the woman walked ahead, as if leading the way for the latter.

"My lord, this hospital is the property of our Belley Foundation, although the scale is a little smaller, but the level of medical care is the best in the world. Your friends will get the best treatment here, so rest assured. Thelma turned her head and bowed slightly to the iron slag and explained.

"Thank you." Iron Slag nodded.

After a while, the two of them walked to the end of the passage, pushed open the door of a single room, and walked in.

"Purr...... Purr ......"

The room was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant water, and a tall fat man was lying on his back on a small hospital bed, his round belly covered with a thin sheet, rising and falling with the sound of snoring.

Looking at the big fat man on the bed, the iron slag didn't make a sound, and Thelma followed silently.

As if sensing someone coming in, the big fat man slowly opened his eyes. When he found that there were suddenly two more people in front of the bed, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and one of them shook his wit and got up.

"Old ...... Boss, you...... What are you doing here. When he saw the woman in front of him, he immediately cried out.

Thelma didn't answer, but turned her head and looked at the figure on her right.

"Iron ...... Brother Tie! The moment he saw the iron slag, the big fat guy trembled, and he was so shocked that he could stuff an apple in his mouth.

"I can't see it, I dare to fight black market boxing now." Iron Slag grinned and said.

"What are you ......" After a short pause, the big fat guy looked at Selma and then at the iron slag, as if he didn't know what to say.

"My lord, you catch up with your friends first, and I'll pour you water." Thelma said with a wry of interest, then bowed slightly and left. But as soon as she reached the door, an exclamation sounded behind her.

"Big boss, this ...... How can this work? The big fat guy screamed and struggled to get out of bed, but was stopped by a cold look from Selma.

Then, he stared blankly at the door, and the sound of waiting for high heels gradually disappeared into the passage, and immediately showed a sly smile, gave a thumbs up to the iron slag, and said, "Brother Tie, you are really a god!" She's a real saint-level powerhouse, and she's going to pour water for you. ”

"Tell me, what's going on." Iron Slag didn't answer the topic, but said lightly. He was worried that Lu Shanhai was implicated by him, so that the company could not operate. However, he was more worried than he was. If You Ge really wanted to attack his friends, it is estimated that they would have already turned to ashes.

"You mean ......," the big fat guy hesitated.

"Aren't you starting a company?" Iron Slag reminded.

"Oh......" The big fat guy nodded, sighed again, and said, "There was a mining accident, many people died, and ...... went out of business" Then, he told the story of the incident one by one.

When he left the Fortress of the Contemplatives, he made a lot of money under the care of the iron slag. Due to the abundant funds and the danger of dismantling the abandoned mine, he began to transform his business and contract mines for mining.

But the good times didn't last long, and in the second half of last year, there was an accident at the mine he contracted. An abyssal demon suddenly broke into the mining area and grabbed people everywhere to eat. The miners took refuge in the depths of the cave, and the great demon couldn't get into it, couldn't eat people, and in anger, he spewed sulfur fire into it, and as a result, he detonated the spirit ore piled up at the mouth of the cave, causing a large area of landslide, and more than 100 miners were buried alive.

Originally, the big fat guy bought insurance, but the people from the insurance company said that this was "force majeure" and "natural disaster", and he refused to pay a penny. The big fat guy has no power or power, and his connections are not wide enough, the other party refuses to buy it, he has no way at all, so he has no choice but to sell the property and pay his own pension. After all, these miners are all old neighbors of Iron Mountain Town, and if they die and can't afford to pay the pension, then there is really no way to explain.

After the property can be sold, there is still a difference of 1,200 gold coins. So he asked people to bring the money back and stay here to play black boxing. He can earn more than a dozen gold coins in a game, and he thinks about how long he can live, and he can pay off his debts as much as he wants......

"Brother Tie, help!" After saying the situation, Lu Shanhai grabbed the arm of the iron slag and shouted with a handful of snot and tears.

Iron Slag snorted coldly, shook off his hand and said, "The old man said that he is responsible for his own troubles. ”

"Brother Tie, I was wrong, but do you know?" The big fat guy said helplessly, "When we people from Tieshan Town go outside, we can only do the dirtiest and heaviest work, mixing some food on the knife edge." I was thinking, mining is safer than mining, so it's contracted......" As he spoke, Lu Shanhai's eyes turned red, "These dead people are brothers who have played together since childhood, I really don't want to!" ”

"Alright, don't be verbose." Iron Slag said with a frown.

"Okay, okay, don't say it...... don't say it" The big fat guy nodded hurriedly and said, but his heart blossomed. He knew that if the iron slag scolded someone, it meant that he would help, and if he didn't say a word, it would definitely be no fun.

As he expected, before leaving, Iron Slag threw him a gold card, saying that there were 5,000 gold coins in it, and in addition to paying off the debt, the rest of the money asked him to reorganize the Barren Mountain Industry, and then go to the Wind Sand Castle to report to Ciris. The big fat guy suddenly smiled and said a lot of assurances.

"By the way, the eldest sister is also in the wind sand castle, you can do it yourself." After saying that, the iron slag turned around and left, leaving a big fat guy with a sluggish face and a cold sweat all over his body. The reason why the latter left Iron Mountain Town and went to Fengsha Castle to live was completely to avoid Lena.

The reason is very simple, when he was a teenager, the big fat guy once took iron slag to the street to meet women, and many years later, this matter unfortunately reached Lena's ears.

The lioness was furious and completely unreasonable, trying to vent her anger on him. If he hadn't fled overnight, he would have been torn to shreds. In fact, this matter, when it comes to it, was raised by Tie Slag himself, he just did a favor and led the way, very innocent and helpless, but there was nowhere to redress his grievances. You know, that lioness never embarrassed her little lover, only people other than iron slag......

Who is Lena? Nowhere is this clearer than the people of Iron Mountain.

Before she came, there were hundreds of underground forces in Iron Mountain Town, both foreign and local.

And on the night she settled in, more than half of the forces received the news early and withdrew from Iron Mountain Town in advance. Then overnight, all the underground forces in Iron Mountain Town disappeared, leaving only the later Knife Tooth Society and Ghost Horn Society.

At that time, the garrison's clearance team would only ask one question: "Who is the eldest sister of Iron Mountain Town?" ”

Answer incorrectly, or answer late, or have a little hesitation, kill!

That night, he witnessed rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. Fortunately, he was just an errand runner, and he answered the questions quickly and accurately, and his expression was extremely reverent, so he was lucky to survive. Later, with the care of iron slag, it was naturally fine, and it was able to mix well in the town until that happened......

He dared to guarantee that if he met the eldest sister at this moment, she might pretend that nothing had happened in front of the iron slag, but behind the scenes, she would definitely not hesitate to kill the killer. A person who can hit three holy ranks, it only takes one finger to kill him. As soon as he thought of this, he felt that the road ahead was long, and he was embarrassed, and the past was unbearable......

A few days later, the big fat guy's injuries were a little better, so he got out of the hospital, withdrew more than 1,000 gold coins from the bank, and then took the sky train and returned to Iron Mountain Town.

He had to give the pension to the miners' families as soon as possible, and although each had only a little more than a hundred gold coins, it would feed their children for at least ten years. Most of the residents of Iron Mountain Town are descendants of the remnants of the north, they may be vulgar, backward, or even a little barbaric, but they are very trustworthy, even if they are street pickers, and the warblers in the back alleys, once they make a promise, they will do their best to complete it.

Pension is an iron promise.

I give with my life, and you send the money home.

That's why they can survive in extremely harsh environments. Since the end of the war, the term "remnants of the north" has completely disappeared, and only exists in their oral stories. The World Council gave them a new title, the Northlanders, whether they accepted it or not.

Over the next 100 years, Iron Mountain's food supply was cut in half, and hunger and cold forced them to kill each other like wild beasts, forgetting everything they had done. However, keeping promises is like the marrow fluid hidden in the bones, which cannot be erased.

The sky was dripping with rain, and the big fat guy took the money and walked through the dirty and dilapidated alleys, passing through one shack after another, one wooden house after another, and delivering the gold coins with blood and flesh to their families.

"I'm sorry, I didn't protect them." He handed a bag of gold coins to an old woman, then bowed and said.

Behind the old woman, two children in ragged clothes, stared at him with wide eyes and said nothing.

He couldn't face that kind of gaze, and silently turned away.

"...... when he's gone"

"Brave?"

Within a few steps, a trembling voice came from behind him.

"Brave and fearless." The big fat guy turned around, came to the old woman, and said solemnly.

"Thank you." The old woman, with her two children, bowed to him.
