Before dawn broke, the fat old man turned over, looked at the bearded man and Shi Lu who were still sleeping on the side, shook his head, and gently opened the door, the courtyard was still dark and sloppy, and the chill of last night lingered in it, making him shiver.

"I'm old, and my body bones aren't as good as before......"

He muttered, tightening his coat and closing the door carefully with his back to him, without making the slightest sound.

The fat old man moved to the well, threw the bucket down, carried a bucket full of water, overflowed and splashed on the ground, his face was red because of the exertion, a hot breath rose from the top of his head, beckoned water to wash it, and suddenly felt sleepy, and he was in a lot of energy.

At this time, the morning sun has revealed the orange and yellow corners, and the soft light is pouring down, and the fat old man picks up his sleeves and prepares to go to the kitchen to clean up the mess of yesterday and take care of today's business.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, not loud or hurried.

The fat old man looked sharply at the source of the voice, who could it be so early, he faintly thought of something, took a few steps and stepped to the door, opened the door in a panic, and a familiar young figure appeared in his eyes.

"Little brother...... You, alas, are you alright......"

Ji Ge raised his head and looked at the fat old man with dim pupils, his heart relaxed slightly, his weak body seemed to be hollowed out of everything, his eyes were dark, and he fell forward weakly, the fat old man hurriedly caught him, shook Ji Ge's body and asked anxiously.

Seeing Ji Ge unconscious, the fat old man didn't shake, but sighed deeply, although he hadn't smelled such a smell for many years, but the breath of human blood had a foul smell, and after tasting it once, he would never forget the feeling of suffocation, he still went to the blood mill after all......

Glancing down with pity, the fat old man helped Ji Ge into the courtyard with some difficulty, opened the door and put Ji Ge down lightly, the four bearded men were still snoring like thunder, wiping the sweat on their foreheads, the fat old man turned around and closed the door and went out.

The days have to go on.

When the sun was shining, the bearded man woke up with a cold shiver, wiped the saliva that flowed from his mouth, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he turned his confused head and looked around, and suddenly found that Ji Ge, who had disappeared since yesterday morning, had been lying in the same place, sleeping very deeply, and quickly patted the Shi Lu brothers who were still snoring, and pointed at Ji Ge.

Ji Ge and the fat old man both consciously never mentioned this matter, only saying that Ji Ge went to the city to find a relative, and Shi Lu bearded man They didn't know much about Ji Ge's origin, but it didn't feel so simple, but they unanimously silently chose to believe it, and this matter was revealed.

Ji Ge had a few days of peace, and he didn't go again, because he heard that the Blood Mill had nothing to do with Noras after his death, and for a while, people who were afraid of Norath's reputation before flocked to it, and many of them wanted to take advantage of speculation and other goods, and they had long lost the direct and rough excitement of the past.

Shi Lu's three good wasteland men easily found a job, although they were only unloading some heavy goods, they were hard and tired, and the pay was not very high, but they were still very happy to get up early in the morning every day to work, and they believed that it would get better and better.

Compared with the down-to-earth Shi Lu brothers, the bearded man is much inferior, and after Tu Yixin went with them for a day, he complained bitterly, saying that his hands and feet were blistered, and his delicate body couldn't do this, and he was also chic for a few days, squandering all the money he stole back during the gambling fight, so he still did Ji Ge's old job of guiding the way when they first met him, and rarely showed up in the fat old man.

With the help of Ji Ge after his cultivation, and the Shi Lu brothers have to drink every night, it is a lot more lively, and the more popular business has gradually improved, and the fat old man is busy every day, and the flesh on his face is about to melt with laughter.

Ji Ge knew that such days would definitely not last long, and sure enough, in the twinkle the tavern ushered in an uninvited guest, a young man with a blood grinding plate, and a heavy package in his hand, making a loud noise, and a clear-eyed person would know what it was at a glance.

"Huhu, you kid, I can be considered to have found you!"

The young man panted like a cow, found a stool and sat down, first poured a glass of water and drank it all before complaining to Ji Ge.

It took him a lot of work to find Ji Ge's whereabouts, I don't know how many vendors he asked, how much money he spent, but at this moment, he finally found it, and the task sent by the top was finally half completed.

The young man put the package in his hand on the table, and with a bang, it shook a corner, and the golden light was shining, all of which were the most common golden bumps in the wasteland, and the color was very pure and bright.

"Well, this is your reward for the day, after you defeated that big man, I didn't come to my senses, and you were gone. The young man looked at Ji Ge and pushed the package over.

Ji Ge didn't shirk either, this was what he deserved, he didn't answer the young man immediately, but turned his head and said lightly to the fat old man: "Fat uncle, you don't have to greet him, let's go get busy first." ”

The fat old man nodded again and again, he looked at this young man very much, he didn't know if it was someone there, but he didn't want to mess with it anymore, so he patted Ji Ge on the shoulder and went to the backyard to work.

After Ji Ge saw the fat old man leave, he sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and asked, "It won't be as simple as sending me money, what else do you have to do, if it's okay, leave here." ”

Glancing at Ji Ge sadly, the young man was secretly indignant, so he was on his side, but he didn't expect this little hillbilly to be so unsentimental, and he didn't say much, so he got straight to the point: "Okay, there are strange beasts that have never been seen in the sand and stone for hundreds of miles, and the four forces are very interested, and the owner of our blood mill plate wants to invite you to participate in this hunt." ”

"Don't go!" Ji Ge's answer was categorical, and he simply rejected the other party.

He was waiting now, since the castle was going to keep them in stock for a while, he would definitely bring them back later, Ji Ge looked up at the clouds of the sunset, it was impossible to escape from the eyes and ears of the people on that mountain in the wasteland, he had vaguely noticed something along the way, so during this time he just wanted to spend it quietly, as for the murderous trip, since it was against his will, then don't do it, let others fight for this first place.

The young man glanced at Ji Ge, as if he knew you were going to say this, threw a nut into his mouth, and said, "Really don't go, there will be your acquaintances on the day of the hunt, no, it's a few acquaintances......"

Speaking of this, he was a little puzzled, how could so many black-clothed teenagers suddenly appear in Shashi, but unlike their age, their methods and actions were extremely ruthless, not like young people at all, they were all monsters, and Ji Ge was actually their kind.

Ji Ge heard the words and groaned for a while, and the black-clothed figure he met at the entrance of the city flashed in front of his eyes, and he also guessed who the acquaintance of the young man was, but since he was a passerby, why did he have to get involved in the matter here?

After hesitating for a long time, he finally chose to agree, I don't know when he will return, so why not sacrifice himself to accompany them to go crazy in this wasteland, Ji Ge wants to see how his current strength compares to these people of the same kind.

The young man left with the jar of wine, and was in a good mood after completing the task assigned by the master, and when he reached the gate of the city humming a little song, he suddenly rolled his eyes, and sneakily got into a small alley with the smell of flowers and wine.

At night, after Ji Ge and the Shi Lu brothers were full of wine and food, they found a gap and talked to the fat old man alone.

"Fat uncle, these are all for you, which can be regarded as making up for what I have eaten and drunk for nothing in the past few days. Ji Ge handed the package left by the young man to the fat old man's hand, but this action made the fat old man anxious.

"Hurry up, put it away, what is this, look down on my old man, this is all your desperate blood and sweat, how can I ask for it, besides, your young life is still long, I am a half-cut person, what's the use of asking for so much money!" The fat old man pushed the package back again, and he didn't worry that Ji Ge wouldn't take it, so he pretended to be angry with a straight face.

"It's really okay, these are useless to me, then it's okay, even if you keep it for me, Uncle Fat, and Brother Shilu are honest people, such a character is estimated to suffer a big loss here, thank you for taking care of it." ”

Looking at Ji Ge's serious eyes, the fat old man's hand loosened, and let Ji Ge stuff the package into his hand.

"Okay, I'll keep it for you, keep it for you, as for those few fools, don't worry, I treat them as sons, and I won't let them be dirty and changed by here......"

"That's it, thank you, Uncle Fat, I've been bothering you these days, I'll have something to do tomorrow to go out, maybe a few days......" Ji Ge bowed to the fat old man, and half a sentence was swallowed back into his stomach by him, and he didn't say it.

"Maybe it will never come back......"
