Chapter 104 Ruined Town
At night, the ruined town in the wasteland west of the fortress of Miaka was blown by the wind on the iron sheets hanging on the ruined walls, making a piercing sound of scraping the walls. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Most of the buildings in the town had been burned down during the invasion of the Dark Legion, and now there are broken walls and lone pillars standing in the darkness, like monsters in the night, especially hideous. The roads of the town are littered with broken bricks and stones, uneven, and it is difficult to get your feet down in the night.
To the south of the town, a thick wall more than ten meters high encloses the remaining dozen or so houses, leaving only a gate to connect with the outside world. This is the remnant courtyard, the shelter of the aborigines who returned to the town, as well as the refugees and scavengers.
By the time night fell, the gates of the remnants of the courtyard in the ruined town were closed. Now above the gate, there is a wind lantern hanging high, and the dim light of the wind lamp illuminates the space not far in front of the door.
On the top of the high wall above the gate, a sturdy old man sat on a chair. Although the old man was over the age of six, he still felt powerful, and he squinted his eyes vigilantly into the depths of the night in the distance.
In the darkness of the night, a figure vaguely appeared, unhurriedly walked towards the remnant courtyard, and walked all the way to the gate.
Seeing the figure in front of the gate, the old man stood up, twisted a bow and crossbow beside him, put on a crossbow arrow, aimed at the figure and shouted: "Stop!
As soon as the figure heard the old man's shout, he stopped and stood still, reached out and took off his cloak, revealing a young handsome but cold face.
Seeing that the figure was a handsome young man, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the direction of his crossbow.
The young man looked up at the old man and shouted to him, "Old man, I just want to find a place to spend the night, and there is no malice. ”
The old man saw that he was not from the Dark Empire, and the ruined town needed to increase the manpower to strengthen the town's defense, so he beckoned the young man and said, "Come in!" and went down the high wall, opened the gate of the courtyard, and let the young man enter the remnant courtyard.
The young man walked through the door, walked up to the old man, and said to him, "Thank you, old man!"
Looking at the handsome and cold young man, the old man said, "What a handsome young man, what is your name?
Hearing the old man's question, the young man looked dazed, and only replied after a while: "I don't know what my name is, and I don't know where I come from?"
The young man's words made the old man wonder, "Have you lost your memory?" he asked the young man.
"It should be, I forgot my name, and all the memories associated with me. The young man pondered but could not recall any memories of the past, and replied very helplessly.
The old man was a little speechless: "Oh! it's really inconvenient not to have a name, so I'll help you think of a name, and you can stay here first." ”
The young man nodded in agreement and stood by waiting for the old man to name him.
"You come from the dark night, how about calling the word Yeyun?" the old man reacted very quickly and gave the young man a very special name.
When the young man heard the name, he repeated it several times, then nodded to the old man and said, "That's a good name, thank you!" ”
"And what do you call it?" asked the old man.
"I'm the mayor here, and you'll call me the old mayor. The old man replied to Yeyou, and then pointed to an old warehouse not far from the gate of the courtyard and said, "It is an empty warehouse, no one lives in it, and if you don't dislike it, it will be yours." ”
Ye Yu looked at the warehouse, although it was old and dilapidated, but the walls and roof were intact, he was satisfied with this, so he said "Thank you!" to the old mayor again, and then walked towards the warehouse, opened the door of the warehouse, and entered the warehouse.
Since then, Night Shadow has settled in the ruined town and become a member of the remnants of the courtyard.
Three weeks later, there was an additional tavern called "Night Quiet" in the remnant courtyard, the Night Quiet Tavern was not far from the gate of the remnant courtyard, and when you walked into the gate, you could see the old warehouse at a glance, and there was a small iron plate nailed to the door of the warehouse, and the words "Night Tavern" were written on the iron plate in eye-catching fluorescent blue.
Now the entire warehouse space has been converted into a tavern, which has a kitchen, a storage bar and a dining area, as well as two or three rooms where you can stay, and Night You lives in one of the rooms. The materials used in the warehouse to transform into a tavern are all from the surrounding area, and after the selection and careful transformation of the night, although it is old, it has a unique flavor.
When everything was arranged in the tavern, Yeyou asked the old mayor to visit, and the old mayor cheered on the spot when he saw the tavern, and when he tasted the home-brewed water handed by Yeyou, he was full of praise.
The wine in the Night Tavern is different from the popular wine in the wasteland, exuding a pungent smell of alcohol, with a spicy taste and pure aroma, a sip of wine, can make people forget the fatigue and troubles of the day, which is absolutely a rare enjoyment for people in the wasteland.
There are more than 200 people living in the remnants of the ruined town, including aborigines of the town who do not want to leave, refugees, deserters, scavengers, and fugitives...... They wear all kinds of ragged clothes, and they beg for a living in different ways every day, and the only thing they have in common is that they are drunk one day and drunk next, because no one knows if they will be alive in this world the next day.
After the opening of the Night Tavern, the self-brewed wine was strong and mellow, the young owner was particularly handsome, and the tavern environment was first-class in the wasteland, so soon the Night Tavern became a place where everyone in the remnant courtyard bought drunk every day.
When there were more customers in the tavern, everyone came, and all kinds of chaotic battles followed. There is no royal law in the wasteland, and force is the only way to solve everything. Armed fights soon appeared in the Night Tavern, but they quickly disappeared, and it didn't take long for no one to dare to use force in the Night Tavern, because the people who used force were either killed by the Night Tavern or abolished by him.
Therefore, the Night Tavern has become a place loved by the people who live in the remnant courtyard, and it has become a new habit for most people to return to the remnant courtyard to have a few drinks in the Night Quiet Tavern.
Two months later, one evening, the sky was almost covered with thick black clouds, and the wind was whining in the wasteland. Seeing that the weather was bad and that night was about to fall, the old mayor came down from the top of the wall and was about to close the gate of the courtyard.
At this time, outside the courtyard, the sound of hurried horses' hooves protruded, and then someone shouted loudly: "Old guy, wait, don't close the door!" The old mayor looked outside, and a team of more than ten Zehai Empire patrols rushed towards the gate on war horses. The old mayor waited by the door, let the patrol into the remnant courtyard, and then closed the gate.
