It has been two months since Lu Yuexian left the village. As a five-year-old, he simply didn't know how to survive. He just walked all the way to the east, and according to his thoughts, since the west was the western extension of the empire, then the east should be far away from that country.

Not far to the east of Wushi City, there is a military city. The city is surrounded by mountains on both sides, with the steep Mount Daimine in the north and the mighty Gogu Peak in the south. Mount Dafeng is the highest peak of the Herac Mountains in the northwest and the demarcation point of the central part of the Herac Mountains. To the south of Mount Daiho, the Herac Mountains have changed course and extend to the southwest. Between Mt. Omine and Mt. Kogoku, there is a large plain. According to the research of the masters of the Geological Society, which is based in Heezhi City, in ancient times, there should have been a river between Dafeng Mountain and Gogok Mountain. For some reason, however, the river dried up and eventually formed a natural thoroughfare between east and west. Later, the Xizhi continent was unified, but the short-lived unification did not bring much change to this plain, and there were no cities established here at that time. Later, the legendary emperor of the Xizhi Empire suddenly disappeared, and the mainland fell into war again. At that time, the forces of the three princes and the four princes had a great war here, although there was no winner in this war, but because of this war, the forces of the four princes decided to build a military town on this plain. At that time, the power of the third prince was in serious conflict with the power of the second prince, and the third prince could not spare the energy to deal with the fourth prince's move to build a city here. And when the conflict with the second prince was dealt with and turned around, this important town had begun to take shape, and if it was to be defeated, it would pay a serious price, and the third prince had no choice but to deploy heavy troops in the chaotic situation to suppress the development of this important military town. However, the three princes also knew very well that this kind of suppression could only be temporary, and a military town with such a geographical advantage would inevitably rise. Later, the five princes declared their own statehood, and the Xiyan Empire of the three princes continued to wage wars against it, but they all returned with a feather. Although the four princes were at a relative disadvantage in the battle with the three princes, it did not mean that the Nanchen Empire he established would always be at a disadvantage in the future. During the long years of constant struggle between the Nanchen Empire and the Western Extension Empire, Nanchen produced several outstanding emperors, and under their governance, the country's military strength was effectively improved, and at one time the territory of the Western Front was pushed hundreds of miles westward. Although their descendants were not angry and were robbed by Xiyan again, no matter how powerful the Xiyan Empire was, the army of the Xiyan Empire never crossed the city, and it can be said that this city has become the strongest defense line in the western part of the Nanchen Empire, and it is also known as the pearl that will never fall in the western part of Nanchen. Because of this, this military town gradually developed into the largest city in the west, and the locals also called this city the city of Peak Valley according to the two peaks in the north and south.

Now, the Nanchen Empire has produced an outstanding emperor, and after enduring the military oppression of the western extension for a long time, he finally launched a counterattack a year before the opening of the Great Voyage, and pushed the imperial border to the west for nearly 100 kilometers in one fell swoop. However, a political coup d'état occurred soon after, and the cowardly emperor was replaced by his brilliant brother, and after successfully recovering nearly 50 kilometers of territory, both sides were in a stalemate. In particular, in the past five years, the main battlefields of the two countries have been shifted to the Sea of Sivir, so the war here has also been temporarily eased. Wushi City, on the other hand, has always been the bridgehead of Fenggu City, and the Xiyan Empire also understands that if Fenggu City is not taken, it will not make any sense for Wushi City to be captured. First of all, not only did the Western Extension Empire need to spend a huge amount of military money to maintain the huge army of Wushi City, because it must always be on guard against attacks from the army of Peak Valley City. Secondly, although there are many small villages around Wushi City, for Wushi City, the materials produced by these small villages are still far from maintaining the normal operation of Wushi City, so the Western Extension Empire must also transport a large number of daily materials from time to time to maintain the normal development of Wushi City. These were completely more than worth the losses for the Western Extension Empire. However, since both countries were involved in the continental war a year ago, Wushi City has often been harassed by the Xiyan Empire, and for more than a year, some outcasts have often entered Fenggu City. Most of these displaced people were survivors of the destroyed villages around Wushi City. Some of these people entered Wushi City, but Wushi City was very strict in the distribution of materials due to the needs of war preparation, and it was difficult for these displaced people to find a chance to survive in Wushi City. Therefore, they all chose to come to Peak Valley City.

Lu Yuexian is also one of these homeless people, at the beginning, Lu Yuexian was alone on the road to survive, and once met a few homeless people. At first, Lu Yuexian planned to go with those people, but that night, while resting in a ruined temple, he found that these people were only using him as food. Thinking about it now, he still shuddered. If it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of four or five wolves to scare them away, he would have become food for the hungry homeless by this time. The homeless people scattered and fled because of the wolves, while Lu Yuexian hid in a small hole in the ruined temple. Perhaps the wolves felt that Lu Yuexian was too small to satisfy their hungry stomachs, so after holding back Lu Yuexian's glance, they chased after the few fleeing homeless. Since then, Lu Yuexian has tried his best to stay away from the homeless group, and has never traveled with any homeless group, or rather, since then, Lu Yuexie has become distrustful of anyone. After nearly two months of frightened days, Lu Yuexian finally entered Fenggu City.

After Lu Yuexian entered Peak Valley City, he fell into extreme shock because of the prosperity of the city. For him, he couldn't understand why there was such a prosperous place in the world and such a humble village at the same time. But he soon woke up from the shock, for he hadn't eaten anything for two days in a row, and his stomach was already aching. Suddenly, a faint smell of meat came. When Lu Yuexian was at home, he rarely smelled the smell of meat, after all, almost all the livestock raised in the village were sold to Wushi City. Throughout the year, the time when you can eat meat is only at the beginning of each year, when the village celebrates the arrival of the new year, you have the opportunity to eat a little bit of meat and smell a little bit of meat. Hunger made Lu Yue slanted towards the source of the taste, and finally he came to a mansion with a luxurious gate. And the smell of meat wafted from the plate of the large wolf creature lying on its stomach at the gate. Lu Yuexian had never seen this kind of animal, but remembered that this animal was somewhat similar to the wolves that night, the only difference was that the size of this animal was much larger than those wolves, and it looked more vicious in the past. Out of instinctive fear, Lu Yue slanted at the meat on the plate, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, covered her stomach, and quietly left. This scene was seen by a family member guarding the door, and the family frowned in disgust, and scolded directly: "Damn pariahs."

This family didn't avoid Lu Yuexian at all, or this family just wanted Lu Yuexian to hear it. Either way, a certain bad taste of this family was satisfied. Lu Yue glanced at the family member with some grievances, and then looked at the wolf-like animal sitting on his stomach, biting his lip and running forward desperately. Although Lu Yuexian was only five years old, in his young heart, some things had already been deeply rooted in his heart, such as self-esteem and dignity, which his parents had told him many times, and he still remembered what his mother often said to him: "Although our family is poor, as a child of a poor family, the last thing we can afford to lose is self-esteem." Although Lu Yuexian didn't understand it very well every time he heard his mother say this, but in the experience of more than two months, he has gradually understood what self-esteem is and what dignity is.

Lu Yue ran diagonally faster and faster, and when he ran to the mouth of an alley, he tripped over a whetstone placed by a certain family on the side of the wall, and due to inertia, his body slid forward for a distance, and his forehead was also worn out. Blood continued to flow down his forehead and into his eyes. Lu Yuexian ignored the blood, he just felt pain everywhere, and after struggling to get up, he sat with his hands and knees against the wall at the entrance of the alley. Lu Yuexian endured the pain, and in order not to cry, he gradually sang the lullaby that his mother used to sing. "The stars in the sky...... How many insects are there......? Talking, good ...... Baby, Ann ...... Quiet ...... Sleep, mother's good baby...... "Maybe it's because I'm too hungry, maybe it's because I vaguely heard the lullaby sung by my mother, and I fell asleep while singing."

The hustle and bustle of the city never stops, but people are always willing to follow this hustle and bustle, and the pace is hurried. Who wants to stop and cower at this inconspicuous forehead still bleeding at such a thin child in such a secluded corner?

The early summer wind blew and rolled up the sand and stones, and the sky gradually darkened, and then it rained heavily. The city suddenly became very busy, and people kept running back and forth. The women at home rushed to collect the clothes hanging outside the house, the small vendors kept cursing God while quickly cleaning up the stalls, the men who went out to do errands sped up their pace to find a place to shelter from the rain, but their pants were wet by the muddy water, and they still did not slow down after cursing a few times in a low voice, and some strangely shaped cars that I didn't know if they could call them carriages also sped up, splashing dirty muddy water from time to time, and the splashed muddy water kept falling on Lu Yuexian's body, and Lu Yuexian was already wet from the heavy rain, but he didn't even realize anything, he was still asleep。 Occasionally, a few drops of blood fell to the ground, but they were quickly washed away by the rain, quickly drowning the bright red color.

At the mouth of the alley there were a few beggars who were shivering, and they could not find a place to hide from the rain, so they had to get wet from the rain. In the past, the buildings of this world would always build a pavilion-like place at the entrance or at the entrance of the wall, which was recalled, by the old people, to provide shelter for passers-by. But for some reason, maybe it's because the city is getting busier, or maybe people are no longer willing to spend extra money to build something that can't even be called decoration, anyway, this place of shelter from the rain has completely disappeared, and even history is unwilling to provide a little bit of pen and ink for this thing.
