Chapter 8: If there is an inaccessible canyon
"Hehehe......"
The laughter, the laughter of incomparably cheerful children, seemed to come from the sky.
"Dad~!Xiaolan!"
In the blank world, a little boy appears.
"Look, I've caught a dragonfly. ”
The boy pinched the dragonfly's wings and waved excitedly at an old man and a little girl not far away.
The old man and the little girl looked at the boy, but their faces could not see anything clearly, their facial features could not be seen, and they could not see their expressions.
Suddenly, the old man took the little girl by the hand and turned around and walked slowly backwards.
"Hey, where are you going?"
The boy's face sank and he chased after the two, but the more the boy chased, the more blurred the figures of the old man and the girl became, as if a wisp of green smoke drifting from the mountains.
"Don't, don't leave me alone. Please, don't get out of here!"
The boy chased after him, cried and begged desperately, wishing they would turn to look at him, but the backs of the old man and the girl gradually disappeared into the pure white world......

When Nano opened his eyes again, it was already early the next morning. He found himself sitting on the wall of a firewood room, and Han Xin was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, and the two of them were covered with a mink coat, which was exactly what Han Xin was wearing.
Looking at the princess's snow-white little face, Na Wu smiled slightly, reached out and brushed the hair on Han Xin's cheeks, then got up and completely covered Han Xin's body.
At this time, a little boy pushed the door in, saw two strangers, was startled, and ran out shouting "Dad~, Mother~".
Han Xin also woke up, she only felt that her whole body was sore, and the bones in her whole body were crunchy, and they creaked when she moved slightly.
"You worked hard last night!
"No, it's fine. Han Xin replied in a low voice.
After getting dressed, Han Xin and Nano walked out of the firewood room together. When they came out, the two found a young couple in the yard looking at the two with a smile, and a boy hiding behind them was secretly poking out his little head and looking at the two with some fear.
"It's been a long time since I've had a visit, so welcome both of you. The couple smiled and said very politely.
"I was trapped by heavy snow in the middle of the night last night, but fortunately there was a room, because it was too late, I moved in without saying hello, sorry. Han Xin explained.
After some pleasantries, the two learned roughly that the boy's name was Xiaolong, the only child of the couple, and the family had built this orphan house in the valley in pursuit of a peaceful life.
At this time, Xiaolong was still hiding behind his parents, just a pair of big eyes, staring at Han Xin all the time, as if he had a good impression of her, but he was a little scared and didn't dare to approach.
After seeing Xiaolong's thoughts, Han Xin slowly walked to Xiaolong's side, touched his head, and said, "Don't be afraid, my sister won't eat people." ”
Xiaolong lowered his head, his face was filled with hesitation, and after a while, he suddenly pulled Han Xin's sleeve and said seriously, "How long are you going to stay here?"
"This ......" Han Xin turned to look at Nano, seeking Nano's opinion.
"Let's rest here for two days. "Nameless.
"That's really lucky," Xiaolong's mother said happily, "It's been a long time since outsiders have visited here, and the last time outsiders came here was eight years ago." ”
"But......" Han Xin looked melancholy, and pulled Ming Wu aside and said secretly: "Last night, there were soldiers from Liang Guo chasing after me, I think we should get out of here quickly." ”
"They seem to be chasing you. ”
"Aren't you going to take me to Yue Kingdom?" Han Xin was suddenly stunned, indeed, Na Wu had never said anything like that.
"I'm sorry, I've been on my own all this time, and I have other tasks on my side. ”
"Other tasks?"
"I forgot to tell you, the reason why I came to this place is because I was entrusted to find someone. More than half a month ago, a rich lady disappeared on her way home with a lot of money. I followed the clues to Liangmiao Village and happened to save them. However, I later found out that it was actually a den of bandits. And, near the village, the bodies of the young lady and the eight servants who accompanied her were found. And then you know what will happen after that. ”
"I see. But can't you help me? What do you want? money, or power? When I go to the country of Yue, I will give you whatever you want. ”
"But you don't have anything now. ”
"You!"
Han Xin stomped his foot angrily, and at this time, Na Wu suddenly burst out laughing.
Han Xin thought about it for a while, and then realized that he had been fooled. She didn't expect that the slightly silent man in front of her would joke with herself. If Mingwu didn't want to help her, he wouldn't be nosy when the temple was broken, and he wouldn't take her to Liangmiao Village. Moreover, if Nano wants to complete the task entrusted by the rich businessman, he should go out to report now, so why stay here for two more days?
Thinking of this, Han Xin's gloomy face instantly bloomed, and he was as happy as a red lotus in June.
"In the past two days, I'll go out first to confirm the situation, and then make plans, and go out rashly, I'm afraid I'll be chased all over the world. And there's just a place to stay. ”
"Listen to you. ”
"How's the discussion going?" asked Xiaolong's mother eagerly.
"I'm going to trouble you for the next two days. "Han Xin.
Hearing this, the couple laughed happily, and Xiaolong's previous nervous face also showed a slight smile.
"That kid seems to like you very much. Na Wu suddenly whispered to Han Xin.
"Isn't it good to be liked by boys? Hee-hee. Han Xin smiled proudly.
"But it would be better for you to be a little more careful. ”
Han Xin's words made Han Xin a little confused, why should he pay attention to a five-year-old boy.
Later, under the leadership of Xiaolong's family, the two visited the environment here. No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary house, there are many fields around, although it is winter, there are still a lot of winter vegetables in the fields, and there are a lot of poultry in the yard.
............
In the capital of the Twilight Kingdom, Jingcheng, soldiers patrolling the streets can be seen everywhere, and the looting of soldiers has never stopped, and the mournful screams of citizens continue to sound from all over Jingcheng.
The people who resisted never gave up, and in the dark corners of the city, there were many dark eyes hidden, staring at the outside world, ready to rush out at any time and kill the soldiers of the Liang State.
In the main hall of the palace, a burly man in silver armor was kneeling on one knee, and this person was General Wang Yong, the commander of the Liang army. And the person he knelt down to was a young man dressed in luxurious clothes and with a scholarly temperament. This young man, named Shao Buyu, is the national teacher of the Tiannan Kingdom!
Tiannan is one of the three great powers on this continent, but it is only 108,000 miles away from here. This time, it was with the help of Shao Buyu and others that the Liang State was able to capture the entire Twilight Kingdom in a short period of time.
"I summoned you here this time, just to tell you that the princess has not been found yet, and you can do it yourself. Shao Buyu said lightly.
When Wang Yong heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately replied: "I will definitely go all out to hunt down the princess!"
"Alright, you can step aside. ”
After Wang Yong left, three more people came in, including the man who killed the demon last night.
"Lord Shao, Wei Nan disappeared while chasing the princess, I took someone to investigate, and found that he had died in a ruined temple, and the cause of death was a sword piercing the heart. "Liuzhen.
"Are there any other scars?"
"Nope. ”
"It seems that the other party is a supreme swordsman. But no matter what, you all have to find the princess as soon as possible and extract the phoenix blood. The owner has already released news that the new god of death is about to be born. The rest of the phoenix blood has also been found, and this last piece is missing. Whether you can wake up the phoenix bird, phoenix blood is the key. ”
"If the opponent is only a swordsman, there is nothing to fear, and any one of us can easily win. It's just that if the other party is a sword master, it's hard to say. "The one who spoke was a young man armed with a short knife, named Wu Jue, who seemed to be the youngest of the three.
"Wu Jue, you are too worried, although the world is big, there are only a handful of sword masters, and the possibility of meeting a sword master here is almost non-existent. "This is another young man named Jinyu, who always has a mysterious smile on his face.
"Although it is impossible to meet a sword master, you must also be careful, don't lose your life like Wei Nan. ”
............
In the snow-covered valley, Han Xin, who was playing a game with Xiaolong, suddenly found that Namwu had disappeared at some point, and only then did he hear Xiaolong's father mention that Namyu had something to deal with in the city and would come back in the evening.
"Uncle Nano doesn't want to tell me if he wants to leave, really. At this time, Han Xin suddenly remembered what Na Wu had said before, and became a little scared, although the little dragon in front of him and his parents looked very kind, but Han Xin always felt a little uneasy in his heart......
In the evening, Xiaolong suddenly said to Han Xin: "Sister Han Xin, why don't you stay with Xiaolong forever? ”
"My sister has something to do now, I have to go to a far away place, and when the matter is done, my sister will come to play with you again." ”
"Liar!"
Xiaolong's face suddenly turned gloomy and ran into the house.
Han Xin was startled, and then looked at Xiaolong's parents not far away, they still had that very polite smile on their faces. At this time, Han Xin began to faintly feel in his heart that there seemed to be something wrong with the family, and he couldn't help but sweat on his hands.
At this time, Na Wu had not yet returned, and with a worried heart, Han Xin walked into the house and came to Xiaolong's room. However, she was surprised to find that Xiaolong was hiding under the quilt and crying secretly. Hearing the cry, Han Xin's hanging heart immediately relaxed.
"Don't cry, don't cry, what happened?" Han Xin came to Xiaolong's side and comforted Xiaolong while touching Xiaolong's head.
"Everyone, they're all gone. The little dragon cried and repeated the words in his mouth.
"Everyone, are you gone?" Han Xin was confused, and the fear in his heart suddenly rose, who was the child in front of him?
Suddenly, a bloodless hand reached out to Han Xin, and then a scream rang out, piercing the night......
