Why are you here?

Even Xia Jian himself is not too clear about this......

In the two years of life in his adoptive parents' house, all that was left for Xia Jian was endless cold eyes and the angry roar that echoed in his ears!!

Slightly dissatisfied......

What was waiting for Xia Jian was a punch and kick!

Something less or more for a while......

There were many times, Xia Jian even had it, took a fruit knife, and stabbed it into that man's heart!!

That year, Xia Jian was less than twelve years old!!

How could such a family, a place, have a place worthy of Xia Jian's memorial?

Until......

"The estuary is a small ......"

When you see a street sign on the side of the road, printed with these four words......

Xia Jiancai had a vague understanding!!

In that darkness, what attracted me here may not be someone or something, but the memory of the boy who has passed away!!

Cross the "Champion Bridge" of the "Great Name"!

Stroll along the familiar "tree-lined paths......

What was once a green fence has now become a high, whitewashed concrete fence!!

The gravel road of the past has now become a gray cement road!

It seems to imply that childhood memories are gradually turning gray......

The dense woods on both sides of the road have also grown from the original size of a bowl to a giant tree with a diameter of several meters, and the canopy of the tree reaches into the sky!

Huge canopy, shaded from the sky......

At first glance, it looks like everything has changed!

But......

When Xia Jian passed by the fourth big tree in order. But he subconsciously stopped......

Following Xia Jian's line of sight......

On the huge trunk of the tree, a large branch can be seen, just below the branch. There was a small patch of bark that had been completely stripped away!

A little closer, in this small place, you can faintly see a vague word "Ning"!!

Next to the word "Ning"!

There are still a few very vague knife marks, and I can't tell what the words are!

……

This is it!!

More than a decade ago, one was less. Due to his withdrawn character, a teenager who was alienated by his classmates, during physical education class. Ever got out of the fence of the school!

Sit on the branched branch, bend over, concentrate on the trunk, and use a sharpening knife. Engraved with a word!!

That's a "build" word!!

Every time the boy stabbed heavily, it was heavy. If you get a little closer, you can even see that his fingers are trembling slightly!!

Maybe......

At this time, the boy's heart is full of anger!!

"What are you doing?"

A crisp, lark-like voice suddenly woke up, a young man who was wandering outside the world!

The one who spoke was one with two pigtails. A girl in shabby clothes!!

I don't know when it was. noticed the boy in a daze, and came over silently!

Shu Ning!

This is the name of this girl!!

A very ordinary, ordinary name!!

People are as their name suggests!

The girl looks very ordinary!

So much so that more than ten years have passed, and Xia Jian can't even remember what this girl looks like!

The only thing I can remember is that pair of jet-black pigtails!!

……

At the time......

The teachers teach everyone to take care of the trees over and over again!!

So......

Like a teenager, the act of carving words on a big tree can be regarded as heinous!!

Hearing the sound behind him, the young man subconsciously seemed to cover the words he was about to finish!

Pity......

After all, the boy is a beat slower!!

The words he carved have been seen by the girl in advance!!

"Ha ......"

"I've got it!!"

"You carved ...... tree on the tree"

Really......

Seeing the words on the tree and the sawdust left on the ground, the girl immediately pointed at the boy and shouted loudly!!

It's kind of schadenfreude!

At this point......

Originally, the teenager thought that this girl would definitely say, "I'm going to tell the teacher!" "Something like that!

And then what awaits you is the teacher's criticism!

When I was nervous......

But I never expected that this girl's character is also very jumpy!!

Without waiting for the teenager to answer......

She was ghostly, and her tone had already changed, she looked at the young man with blank eyes, and said coquettishly: "Can you help me carve a word too?" Just engrave my Ning character!! ”

Finished......

The girl seemed to be afraid that the young man would not agree, so she opened her teeth and claws, and threatened viciously: "If you don't help me carve it, I'll go tell the teacher!" ”

Under coercion and temptation, how dare the young man say a word!

"Good!!"

Nodding, the taciturn young man immediately carved the word "Ning" next to the word "Jian"!!

"That's it! The names of the two of us have been engraved together......"

"We'll be friends from now on......"

"Come ......"

"Give my sister a smile!!"

This is when a teenager, after carving "Ning", the girl said!!

And after that......

What did the girl say again, because the time was too long, Xia Jian couldn't remember it clearly!!

I only know the way......

In the next six months, the boy almost became the follower of that eccentric girl!!

No way!!

Who made the girl a few years older than the boy, and the girl was supposed to be precocious than the boy!

Under the girl's fist, the boy had to get from ah!!

…………

"Heh......"

Looking at the two words in front of him, which had been seriously deformed, Xia Jian seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago. I didn't know that the corners of my mouth had a hint of a smile!!

The girl......

Maybe it's a teenager, in the memory of those two years. The only one worth remembering!!

Whenever a teenager is bullied......

The girl who likes to be the eldest sister of others will always rely on her physical advantage that is higher than that of students in the same grade, and use her fists to help the teenager beat him back!

Whenever a teenager is wronged and needs someone to talk to......

The girl. I always hold my chin with my hands, sit quietly on the sidelines, and listen attentively!!

Pity......

A good time. It's always unusually short-lived!!

Wait until the second year starts......

When the teenager came to the classroom again......

only to find that in the back row, the desk that was supposed to be sitting on the girl was still empty!!

Waited day after day!!

The shadow with two pigtails. But it never appeared!!

Only one day......

Teenager unintentionally. Hear people talk about ......

The girl who is in the flowering season has dropped out of school for various reasons!!

Another half a year passed......

When the boy heard the news of the girl again, the girl seemed to be married and married!!

(Impermanence in other places...... ）

(But in that small place where impermanence lives, in the countryside, I can't afford to read because I don't have money.) The girl in the family married off at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Very common!! ）

"Alas!!"

Xia Jian let out a long sigh, shook his head, and pulled his thoughts back from his memories!!

I don't know why......

Even after all these years!

Whenever it was quiet in the dead of night, Xia Jian's mind would always appear from time to time, the vague figure with two pigtails!!

Perhaps, this is the miserable green boy, that special kind of spiritual sprout!!

………………

Moving on......

A tall, very magnificently decorated school gate appeared at the end of the "tree-lined path"!!

The estuary is small! It's a special elementary school!

Remember......

For historical reasons, there were no less than sixteen similar primary schools in this small area of Mi County!!

But......

With the development of the times......

As the city continues to grow!!

With the more and more advanced means of transportation!

With the opening of buses......

Similar to Hekou Wan Elementary School, the primary schools and even middle schools built on the outskirts of the county have gradually been crushed by the affiliated primary schools of those middle schools in the county because of congenital deficiencies!

I remember four or five years ago, when Xia Jian passed through Mi County for the last time......

Of the sixteen elementary schools in this small area, there are less than four left!!

It's not a small estuary!

The other three primary schools had to be retained because they were far away from the city!

But even if it is preserved......

Now there are only a few simple classrooms left!!

On weekdays, the enrollment rate is not even 50%!!

In fact, it is not difficult to understand why such a thing could happen for Lang......

After all, in the previous era when most families had only one single seedling!!

Where family conditions permit......

Who would let their children go to school in this shabby school, which seemed to be going to close down at any moment?

The only exception is the estuary!!

As for the reason......

It's not that the quality of teaching at Kawaguchi Wanxiao is good!!

But it is said that there was a big man here in the estuary!!

As the alma mater of this big shot!!

Even if the quality of teaching is poor, no matter how no one wants to come to study, those education departments will definitely not let this estuary go out of business!!

And that's not all......

In order to leave a good impression on that big man, those leaders will even repair the estuary every year!!

Sometimes it's that simple!!

………………

Stroll towards the school gates......

Along the way, Xia Jian did not forget to look for those traces that he was once familiar with on both sides of the road!

Didn't wait to get close......

"Woo ......"

A series of familiar roars woke him up from his memory......

It's the scream of the Dark Chaser!!

The next moment......

Xia Jian reached out and touched it back, and almost instinctively grabbed the weapon in Shi's palm!!

That's a handful about one and a half meters long. A broadsword made of unknown metal!!

As for the origin......

Naturally, it's the Sun Family!!

Remember, ten days ago. In order to allow Xia Jian to sneak out of the City of Hope smoothly, the high priest specially gave Xia Jian a set of golden armor!!

Do the drama and do the full set!

Since even the armor has been given, the high priest will naturally not be stingy with a weapon!!

In the moment when I first got this set of golden armor......

For this set, the style is very exquisite, the whole body is golden, and it looks extremely luxurious, Xia Jian didn't pay much attention to it!!

It's just that I think it's good-looking......

Until one day......

Xia Jian was in the way of wearing this suit of armor. And because wearing this suit of armor, walking in the last days is too eye-catching. It is easy to cause unnecessary trouble, and when you are going to throw this armor there......

Xiao Hei suddenly gave the attributes of this set of armor!!

……

After looking at the properties......

While feeling that the high priest was really generous, Xia Jian laughed three times on the spot!

What the?

Dressed too eye-catching?

Xia Jian didn't say a word, and directly found a cloak to wear on his body!!

Anyway, never again. Throwing away this set of armor!

The reason is simple......

This armor set doesn't just look good. Even the attributes are very awesome......

First of all......

This set of armor, in the process of crafting, added some kind of metal with the ability to restore!

As long as the damage is not too serious, some small damage, the armor can be repaired by itself!!

Even the maintenance on weekdays is saved!!

Secondly......

This set of armor has a very good anti-wear ability!!

Forehead!

This so-called anti-wear, which is the in-game statement, is more specific. It's this armor that attacks the elements. Possess very good defenses!

For example: Xia Jian's own fire elemental attack and thunder elemental attack!!

As for physical defense......

Although it can't stop Xia Jian's full blow!!

But it's not a problem to block armor-piercing bullets fired from sniper rifles, or ordinary king-level attacks!

There is still a little bit of ...... at the end of the day

At the same time, it is also the most important point for Xia Jian!

That is, wearing this armor can speed up the recovery of physical strength!!

After talking about the armor, let's talk about the broadsword......

That broadsword, in terms of sharpness and hardness, was not as good as the purgatory and horse chopping knife that Xia Jian had exchanged from the system!

But its self-recovery ability allows Xia Jian to hardly worry about it wearing out when he uses it!!

And......

This sword also has a mezzanine effect on attacks such as sword qi!!

When Xia Jian uses this sword and uses the skill of "Assassination Swordsmanship", he will get a lot of improvement when he throws out the sword qi that has been thrown away!!

Such equipment, especially that set of armor, how could Xia Jian be willing to throw it away!!

…………

Holding a weapon......

Xia Jian followed the roar of the dark chaser and cautiously looked for it......

The voice came from inside the school gate!

Really......

When Xia Jian walked to the school gate!

Through the gap between the iron gates, I saw three dark chasers, wandering back and forth in the school gate, in that small open space!!

"Strange?"

Seeing these three dark chasers, Xia Jian looked up at the sky suspiciously!!

"That's not right!"

"It's daylight! How did these Shadow Chasers escape? ”

Although near the school gate, due to the dense trees, the canopy that shades the sky and the sun blocks most of the light......

But daytime is daytime!

Under normal circumstances, these dark chasers will not be shaking around outside!!

"Roaring ......"

However, just when Xia Jian was puzzled, the three-headed dark chaser had already discovered Xia Jian standing at the school gate, roared, and pounced towards Xia Jian with his teeth and claws!!

Pity......

Between them and Xia Jian, there is an iron gate!

Before they rushed in front of Xia Jian, they were firmly blocked by the iron gate!!

I've said it before......

In order to please the big man who walked out of the estuary from the estuary, those leaders will repair the estuary every year!

And this school gate!

As the façade project of the whole school, in terms of materials, it is naturally used as best as possible!

It's just embarrassing!

Those leaders, everything they did to curry favor with the big guys that day, but now they have successfully blocked these dark chasers!!

With the strength of these three shadow chasers!

It's not enough to break through this iron gate!!

…………

With Xia Jian's current strength, ordinary shadow chasers, no matter how many they are, will not be taken into his eyes......

Not to mention......

At this time, these three dark chasers, in order to be able to catch Xia Jian, are desperately trying to squeeze through the gaps in those steel bars on the iron door!

As a result, instead of squeezing over, he stuck his head firmly in the gaps of those steel bars, unable to move......

In the face of such a live target!

"Humph......"

Just listen to a cold snort!

Xia Jian had already raised the broadsword in his hand, as if he was chopping wood, and slashed down three times in a row......

"Poof......

In the splattered blood......

The three huge heads have been cut in half by the sharp broadsword in Xia Jian's hand, as if they were used to it!!

The milky white, slippery brain pulp and scarlet blood water suddenly scattered all over the ground!

Splash everywhere!!

In the whole process, Xia Jian didn't even use the strength of a layer, it can be said that it was extremely easy!!

……

"Phew......"

Wiping away the brains and blood splashed on his face, Xia Jian spat heavily on the ground!!

He shook off the remaining blood on the broadsword......

Put one hand on the iron door and push your feet down a little!!

The whole person suddenly rose into the air......

Next Second......

In the sound of hunting brought by the black robe, Xia Jian had already landed firmly on the ground!

The whole action, simple, neat!

With an indescribable chic!

Wait until it settles down......

Xia Jian looked around......

To the right of the main gate, there is a small white communication room!!

It is for the doorman every day!

And on the left......

There is a row of two-story buildings!

On the first floor of the small building, there are three small facades connected together......

Go without saying!!

These three small facades belong to the small shops in Hekou Wanxiao, specializing in buying stationery, snacks, snacks and other things!

It's just that now, the roller shutters of the three small facades are all closed......

"Hey ......"

Seeing these three small facades, the corners of Xia Jian's mouth couldn't help but curl!!

On weekdays......

During the journey, when encountering similar places, Xia Jian usually will not let go!!

Especially this kind of shop, it seems that no one has ever patronized it!

Often, there will be some good things left in these!!

At the moment, Xia Jian didn't care about pursuing the three-headed chaser, what would appear here in broad daylight, three steps as two steps, and walked directly to the door of the shop, put his palms together, and forcefully inserted the roller shutter door, and then used a little force, and pointed to both sides!

"Bang Bang ......"

In the midst of a flurry of noise!

The iron roller shutter door was suddenly as fragile as a piece of paper, and it was forcibly pulled open from the middle by Xia Jian!

But at this moment......

"Stand on the ......"

"Don't move!!"
