White City, a small city in the northern mirror of the Kingdom of Gabes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was a sparsely populated town with little value other than as an intermediary for the supply of the northern defenses.

At the beginning of each year, hundreds of thick wagons pass by, which is the grain and grass distributed by the central government to the northern defense army. With the Adolf Gorge in the west, the world's largest boardwalk, this obscure town has gained some popularity.

On the northern side of the city wall, a tower stands alone beside the city wall.

According to the duty schedule, Lao Wu was on duty at the front gate of White City tonight. Before it got dark, this old man, who had been guarding White City for nearly thirty years, had already skillfully climbed the guard tower with a small family of wine and two plates of snacks.

Xiao Li, who was on the day shift in the tower, saw his old partner smiling and coming to the sentry with a drink, so he hurriedly went over to catch Lao Wu's trembling hand, put the food on the table, and grabbed a handful of peanuts and asked.

"Yo, old Angkor, why did you come so early today?"

"What else can happen, I was kicked out by the old woman of the family. During the day, her mother's house came, and there were not enough rooms at home, so she kicked me out to make room for her family. ”

Although all colleagues know that Lao Wu is a strict wife, Xiao Li and other colleagues are a little envious of this good man, who is not envious of this good old man, who is not envious of the loving husband and wife and happy family?

Picking up the wine on the table, Xiao Li and Lao Wu chatted all over the world.

The sun has not completely set in front of him, and Xiao Li is not good at blatantly skipping work. What's more, there are a lot of delicious foods here, so he is happy and leisurely, and he is not in a hurry to go home.

"Xiao Li, the sun is about to set, you put away the suspension bridge and go back. If I keep you any longer, I'm afraid your family won't be able to wait. Haha......"

Glancing at the sun that had basically disappeared in the mountains in the distance, Lao Wu waved his hand and asked Xiao Li to hurry back. He knew that this Xiao Li had just been married for half a year, and the two of them were like glue. If he delays for a long time, maybe Xiao Li's wife will talk about herself behind her back.

"Eh, okay old man, then I'll go first. Glancing at the sky that had darkened, Xiao Li grabbed a handful of peanuts, patted his ass and was about to walk forward.

Xiao Li, who was about to close the gate, suddenly stopped what he was doing, and along the official road filled with gunsmoke in the distance, he saw a carriage slowly coming.

"Look, brother, isn't that a carriage?

"Leave it alone, it may be that the merchant is in a hurry. Let's put the gate bridge later, since they are in such a hurry, let them in. ”

The experienced old Wu was not as curious as Xiao Li, and saw the carriage slowly approaching. The kind-hearted old Wu decided to wait and let the carriage enter the city before closing.

"Eh, what's going on? This carriage is so strange, why did it turn around and go in the other direction as soon as it got to the bottom of the city? What the hell are they doing?"

Looking at this carriage that behaved abnormally, Xiao Li couldn't help but feel a little angry, he felt that he had been tricked.

"If you don't understand, don't care, they just don't come in. ”

Looking at the carriage that gradually disappeared on the side of the road, Lao Wu's heart couldn't help but relax. In fact, when he saw the carriage for the first time, he felt inexplicably depressed in his heart. Now that the carriage is gone, this feeling is just gone.

"Perhaps, it is a good thing that the carriage did not enter the city. ”

Seven days had passed since she fled Baal House that day, and Eva hadn't slept well in the past few days. In addition to running for her life every day, she also has to worry about trackers sent by her family.

With her understanding of her so-called adoptive father, the other party will definitely not let her go away.

Just as Eva was falling into deep thought, a sexy woman in her twenties opened the car door, saw a somewhat tired Eva, walked over and comforted: "Miss, the sun is about to set, we are looking for a place to rest." The owner will wake up in a while, and you can rest in peace. ”

"Thank you, Hannah, for being safe these days thanks to your protection. I feel better now, you don't have to worry. ”

Although Eva was hesitant to flee from home at first, she came into contact with Hannah and others along the way, and found that the other party was not as cold as she imagined. This reassured Eva, who had thought it would be difficult to get along with them, and had become friends with Hannah in a few days.

"Actually, miss, you don't need to be afraid at all, your decision is right. At that time, we fled from Barr's mansion, and it was purely a helpless choice, if you chose to stay at that time, Miss, I am afraid that you are already the bride-to-be of that idiot aristocrat at this moment. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with an imbecile?"

Seeing that Eva was a little sullen, Hannah comforted the girl softly.

"Hannah, I've never regretted my choice. The only value I had left in that home was my young body. Since my mother's death, I have no feelings for that cold home, and if it weren't for my grandmother, I would have left there without hesitation. ”

When it comes to her family background, Eva has nothing but hatred and indifference in her heart. His mercenary adoptive father has been hypocritical to himself in recent years, not for the legacy left by his mother.

But thinking back to her gray-haired grandmother, Eva felt a little guilty in her heart. In order to escape Baal's clutches, she had to leave her loved ones behind.

"Miss Eva, don't worry, we're halfway there. As long as you hold on for another week, when you reach the holy land of the master's clan, even if the people invited by Barr have the power to reach the heavens, they can only be helpless across the two realms. As for your grandma, you can go to see her again after a few years of rumors. At that time, there was no forced marriage, and you were able to see your relatives openly. Wouldn't what you do today kill two birds with one stone?"

Seeing Eva's worried look, Hannah smiled, she knew what the girl was thinking.

"Hannah, it's getting dark, get out of the car and cook. ”

After stopping the carriage, a middle-aged man in his forties lifted the curtain and nodded to Eva. Hannah, who still wants to continue chatting with Eva, seems to be angry with her lazy colleague.

Through the curtain of the car, the two women saw that the sky outside the car had completely darkened.

"I know, I know, it's really a starving ghost reincarnated, and I know how to eat every day. ”

Although she was unhappy with Andrew interrupting her free time, Hannah was still very useful. Sticking out her tongue mischievously at Andrew, Hannah began to cook dinner.

Twinkling stars hung in the dark night sky. As the smoke rises, the deliciousness of the meal is slowly inhaled into the stomachs of people who have been busy all day, and the three of them smell the fragrance and only feel even more hungry.

"Hannah, cooking. Lao Tzu has been busy all day, and I want to eat a lot tonight. ”

He took a hard breath of the diffuse fragrance and looked at the food in the pot. Andrew couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly handed Hannah his dishes and chopsticks and asked her to cook for himself.

"It's as if you haven't had enough for a few days. Every time I cooked, I don't know which starving ghost it was, but he ate more than the two ladies combined. ”

While helping Andrew with the meal, Hannah counted down her partner. Even though he and Andrew have known each other for more than ten years, they still like to talk to him.

"Hey, you little girl......"

Andrew, who was about to reprimand Hannah, suddenly felt a murderous moment behind him, and he didn't startle the snake. I saw him crouch down, swinging the giant sword behind his back, and slashing at the shadow standing behind him.

"Don't be nervous, it's me. ”

Putting down the hand that grabbed the strong man in mid-air, the boy was smiling and standing behind Andrew.

"Master!"

After seeing the figure behind him, whether it was Hannah, who was still laughing just now, or Andrew, who was holding a sword, they all saluted the handsome young man.
