It's autumn, and the sun is shining brightly, and the dazzling sunlight is shining on the verdant green of the mountains and the streets of the city. In Cangxia, a first-class city belonging to the Xia Kingdom, the pace of life is generally fast.

The road is full of pedestrians, all busy with their own affairs, and when they meet acquaintances, they will stop to say hello and leave. The cars flowed like a tidal wave, and the sound of car whistles filled everywhere.

——

The Qingshui River bank in Cangxia City is perhaps the most peaceful place in the city, where people have made a sloped lawn with turf, and you can enjoy the scenery of the whole river from sitting on the lawn, and from time to time you can see fish rising from the water and making a big wave.

"Tsk!"

Above the slope lawn, there are rows of osmanthus trees, and at this time it is the season when the osmanthus flowers bloom and are fragrant, and from time to time you can see a few sparrows standing on the small branches and singing.

The autumn wind came from the river and blew on Dao Chen's shirt, and the shirt he wore was swept up by the warm wind and crackled. Nine years have passed since his mother and sister left him at the age of seven, and he has been adopted by a small local orphanage.

According to the rules of the orphanage, today is his last day at the orphanage, after which he will have to move out and find a new life.

"Whew. ”

Dao Chen let out a long sigh and lay down on the grass, looking up at the blue sky that was obscured by white clouds and only revealed from time to time. His dark eyes were as empty as a bottomless abyss, and at a young age, he actually had a sense of vicissitudes that did not match his age.

There was a bamboo stick on the ground, and at the end of the bamboo was a thin fishing line, the other end of which had been submerged in the water, and a buoy was tied to it. It was clearly a do-it-yourself fishing rod made of bamboo, and the sign prohibiting fishing not far from the lawn was now particularly eye-catching.

At this time, the fishing line moved slightly, and a slight wave sound woke up Dao Chen. He sat up in surprise and looked at the buoys moving slightly on the river, he didn't expect fish to be baited so early today.

However, after waiting for a while, Dao Chen felt a little strange, the buoy only swung twice, sank halfway, and then stopped moving.

Driven by curiosity, Dao Chen slowly pulled up the fishing rod, only to see a small pink bag hanging from the hook at the end of the fishing line. He didn't know how long he had been in the water, and the bottom was covered with mud from the bottom of the river, so he put it in the water and washed it.

Gradually, the bag revealed its original appearance, a small pink cloth bag, embroidered with two lifelike lotus flowers on both sides, and two red threads at the mouth, which were used to tighten the mouth of the bag. What surprised Dao Chen even more was that he didn't know how long the bag had existed under the water, and it was still fragrant at this time.

So Dao Chen was a little curious about what was in it, feeling that it might be that the rich girl fell into the river and didn't want it, so she picked up a bargain for herself.

He tugged at the two corners of the end of the bag and pulled it open, but it was pitch black inside, and there was no treasure as he had imagined. After struggling for a long time, Dao Chen put his hand into the bag unconvinced, and was surprised to find that it was very empty, and such a small bag could actually put his entire arm into it!

After a moment of shock, Dao Chen hurriedly looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he turned the bag upside down. Immediately, a puddle of rancid wastewater flowed out of the bag, and the smell was very unpleasant.

"Bang!"

Then a rusty sword fell out of the bag, followed by many strange treasures, especially the white light sword, I don't know what material it was forged, there was no rust at all, and there was a warm feeling in the hand.

The light sword was only two feet long, the hilt and gauntlet of the sword were in the shape of a lotus flower, and the grip of the sword was carved out of an unknown jade. There is a hollow carving on the side above the white scabbard, carved out of a beautiful pattern, which shows the value of this sword.

Immediately, Dao Chen tried to pull out the sword, but with all his strength, there was no sign of the sword coming out of the sheath, and the scabbard of the sword seemed to grow on the sword.

So Dao Chen could only stop, trying to see if he could take out the treasure from this bag again, and then put the bag upside down again. I saw a few small white jade bottles fall out of it, and a soaked earthy yellow page fell out, and then how to pour it, but nothing fell out.

Dao Chen put the sword into the bag again, and then began to pick up the treasures that had just fallen out, almost all of them were some scrap copper and rotten iron, and occasionally a few strange items made of special bronze and silver were put away by Dao Chen one by one. What attracted Dao Chen's attention the most was the white jade bottles with different aromas.

Each bottle is only the size of a thumb, but the appearance is very delicately carved, and they all emit different aromas, the aroma enters the nose, and there is a feeling of refreshment. He opened the bottle, which tilted and poured out a turquoise fragrant orb.

"These are all treasures, could it be the legendary elixir!

Dao Chen held the orb in his hand, feeling the urge to swallow it, but finally gave up. After all, I don't know what it is, don't look at the aroma, maybe it may be poison.

But today Dao Chen was very happy, he felt that he had picked up something from an immortal, this might be the storage bag of the legendary immortal, these things can be sold for a good price.

Then he cleaned the pile of rusty weapons and put them in the bag one by one, and then clapped his hands contentedly. He thinks that these must be treasures, and if they are sold in the antique town, he will be able to make a fortune. Suddenly, Dao Chen saw countless amounts of money beckoning to him.

"What are you doing! Fishing is prohibited here, and offenders will be fined 20 yuan!"

As an old voice came, a white-haired old man in uniform and with a caretaker's bandage hurried from the stone path on the sloped lawn, pointing at Dao Chen and shouting for a fine.

Seeing this, Dao Chen was a little curious, he had never seen this before, and he felt that he should be the new administrator. He didn't panic at this moment, and asked, "Uncle, are you new here?"

The old man seemed to have inconvenient legs and feet, and he trembled slightly when he walked, so he did not go down to the lawn, but stood on the stone road, pointed at Dao Chen, and said, "You take care of me! Come up quickly!

Dao Chen's face was indifferent, and he smiled and said, "You don't know who I am, do you?"

The old man snorted and said, "I don't care who you are!" Come up quickly, and you will be fined twenty for fishing!"

Dao Chen smiled: "It's good if you don't know!"

Immediately, he picked up the fishing rod with ease, ran up the slope, and beckoned to the old man with a smile, and said with a smile: "Uncle, see you next time." ”

After speaking, I saw that he had run away, and the old man was so angry that he pointed at his back with a red face, and he was about to catch up with him while walking quickly, and shouted in his mouth: "You come back to me!

Seeing Dao Chen running away, he could only stand here and sigh helplessly, in fact, he had heard of Dao Chen's name as early as when he applied for the job, and it was better to meet than to be famous, and only then did he know how annoying the other party was.

In the end, as if he had thought of something, he shook his head helplessly and said, "That's it!"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the lawn on the slope, and among them was a green bead like a glass ball, which Dao Chen hadn't noticed when he poured it out of the bag. At the moment, he was lying on the turf, shining in the sun.

"What is this?"

The old man cautiously walked to the bead, and after picking it up, two cyan rays of light flowed from it, and after rotating around the old man, it sank into his feet.

When he was curious, the old man was surprised to find that his legs with rheumatism didn't hurt anymore, and he suddenly had a feeling of being ten years younger!

The old man was so shocked that he quickly knelt down, muttering "Blessing of the gods", after a few times, he stood up, looked around, and saw that no one hurriedly put the beads into his pocket, and then left in a hurry.

——

In the afternoon, Dao Chen held a fishing rod and stood in front of an old iron gate. The plaque above the iron gate reads "Warm Welfare House" in five big characters.

The sun is shining, and from time to time you can hear the laughter of children in the welfare home, and when you enter the door, you will see a huge dilapidated courtyard, where children in tattered clothes and old pants are playing and playing. There was also a large old tree in the center of the courtyard, and there were no leaves to be seen, only dry branches could be seen.

When the children saw that Dao Chen was back, they greeted Dao Chen one by one. A ten-year-old girl looked at him with a sad face, and stepped forward and asked, "Brother Daochen, are you leaving today?"

There are a total of sixteen orphans in the warm welfare home, and this girl is also one of them, named Zixin. may be because of the name, Dao Chen's sister's name is Dao Zixin, and this Zixin always makes him inadvertently recall the past, so he is also very spoiled by Zixin.

Dao Chen smiled humbly, rubbed her head dotingly, and said, "Yes!

But after seeing her big eyes that were sad, he smiled heartily and said, "Don't worry! Brother Daochen promises you that you will come back to see Zixin often in the future." ”
