The gentle big palm caressed her head affectionately and was reluctant to let go, the power full of security on her head disappeared, and the vision in front of her eyes also brightened, it turned out that the figure that was so tall that it obscured the sun was getting farther and farther away from her.

"Nene, where is Daddy going?" the five-year-old girl looked at the tall departing figure of her father in front of her, turned her head, and said curiously to a palm full of ravines beside her,

The furrowed palm said to have replaced the gentle big palm on her head, and the little girl narrowed her eyes in comfort.

"Dad is the deputy city lord, so there are a lot of things to be busy every day, and I don't have much time to spend with you. “

The little girl snuggled up to the old man, and said unwillingly: "I also want to help my father, and my father will be very happy!" "When you grow up a little more, it's fine." The kind voice came to the ears and gave the little girl confidence. The little girl acquiesced, "I want to grow up quickly and help my father do such and such things."

Another day, the little girl was holding a small branch in her hand, and secretly went out to play without telling her family, so I didn't want to go to the temple, it was not fun at all! The little girl thought to herself, wandering around every corner of the Watch City, and the passers-by on the road seemed to know her, nodding and smiling at her.

What a big city, grandpa said this is a watch city, compared to the old town! One day I will walk around this city, and I will not let go of anything! Walk and walk, walk through the crowded side streets, walk past the busy shops, walk through the quiet and peaceful residential areas, how did you come here again? The little girl stretched out her finger to support her chin, looked at the temple in front of her, and frowned slightly.

She was just about to turn around, when a pair of white little hands covered her eyes: "Guess who I am?" "Big brother, I don't eat candy!" The little girl pouted and pretended to be angry, but her raised eyebrows and feet couldn't hide her joy. He hugged the boy in front of him and rubbed his clothes, "Is the big brother coming to see me?" "Yes, seeing that you are not at home, I know that you are out to play again." No, just ask a few people on the road to find out where you are. The boy took her by the hand and led her through the endless streets. "With my big brother here, no one will dare to bully me!" the girl said happily, squeezing his hand. "Who in this city would dare to bully you? Your father loves you so much. But you still have to study hard! The temple is boring, but you can learn a lot!" The boy smiled, and continued, "The church pastor in the town has passed away and no one has come to replace him, but my brother has dreamed of being taught by the priest." ”

"Is that so?" the little girl listened to the boy's persuasion, and with his help shuffled towards the temple. The boy who had successfully persuaded him breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sent her to the temple, then straightened his clothes and turned around to walk away, and his destination was a famous magic academy.

As soon as she got home, the girl excitedly said to her grandfather: "Big brother has come to see me, I am so happy today!"

"Shhhh......h

"I was recommended to enter a magic academy for free today. But ...... at home," the voice of the big brother next door came out, what was he talking to his father? The girl tilted her head curiously, leaned against the wall, and listened carefully. When Grandpa saw her like this, he gently touched his white beard and didn't stop it.

The voices of the two were a little muffled, and the conversation seemed to have come to an end.

"Thank you, uncle!" a grateful voice came from the next room.

"My brother will borrow it here for the time being, and I can take you out to play every day in the future!" the boy happily opened the door and came out, and when he saw her eavesdropping on the wall, he stretched out his hand and stroked her head, and his joy was conveyed to her through this hand.

"Today is Xi'er's happiest day!" Fan Xi'er hugged her tightly and refused to let go.

Watching the diligent eldest brother get up early and greedy for darkness, and study magic and writing seriously, Fan Xi'er was not to be outdone, going to school in the temple every day, and working hard to learn knowledge.

She quickly learned to read and write, learned about the customs between countries, and remembered the historical traces of each land, but she still felt that she could not keep up with her big brother's progress.

"Big brother is so amazing! He drew a six-pointed star on the ground today, and he twinkles and twinkles so beautiful!" "Big brother is practicing magic today, I want to learn it too!" She finally didn't hold back her curiosity and found her grandfather.

"Hey—I'm too young...... Can I just test the talent first? What is the talent?"

So tomorrow Grandpa couldn't resist her, and led her to the academy to do a talent test. "Hmph, my talent is much higher than that of my big brother!

"A lot of people who can use magic come to see me today, and they look at me a little strangely, I don't like this!"

"Grandpa, grandpa, why did Dad name me Fan Xi'er?" After Fan Xi'er learned to write, she didn't understand the origin of her name and asked Grandpa Fan Ke.

"Daddy wants you to be as energetic as the morning sun. ”

"Yes, I'm full of energy every day!" this satisfactory answer made her raise her little arm excitedly, indicating that she was full of strength.

Today the little girl cried and trotted all the way home, and as soon as she reached the door, she threw herself into her grandfather's arms.

"Grandpa, why do people say I don't have a mother?

"Mom went to a far, far away place, but will come back one day. ”

"Well, I'll wait for Mommy to come back!" the girl wiped away her tears and waited for that day to come.

"Dad, the floral dress I wore today is so beautiful, I really want you to see it. ”

"Daddy hasn't had much time to see me lately. "Fan Xi'er was in a low mood and wanted to go to the academy to play with her big brother.

"Grandpa, why do the people around us look a little strange?" As soon as she went out, she felt that a lot of eyes converged on her, making her goosebumps stand up, and she was pulled back by her grandfather before she went out.

"Grandpa, what's going on?" Seeing grandpa so flustered for the first time, Fan Xi'er couldn't help but start to panic.

"Who are they, and why did they come into our house?" In the afternoon, many strange people came into the house, some of them were wearing armor, some holding magic staffs, their eyes were cold, and they were mercilessly examining the people and things in the house.

"Grandpa, I'm scared, let me down. Grandpa held Fan Xi'er's body and ran wildly all the way, the bumpy distance was very far away, Fan Xi'er looked back, a cluster of flames in the sky was reflected in his eyes, it was the home that was burned by the raging fire. She burrowed her head into her grandfather's arms and sobbed quietly. "Grandpa, where is this? It feels so far away from home. Different from the horse-drawn carriage pick-up on weekdays, Grandpa took Fan Xi'er's little hand and walked silently on the country road, surrounded by dark green dense jungle, and from time to time a sharp gaze shines out from it. Grandpa seemed to be a little tired, and his eyes were almost closed.

Slowly returned to Fanshui Town, opened the wooden door that had been sealed for a long time, and a pinch of dust stirred up in the crack of the door. The things in the house were not touched by anyone, and they remained as they were. "Are we back in our hometown, I'm so happy, I want my dad to know!"

"Grandpa needs to have a good rest.

Fan Xi'er looked at her grandfather who was almost unconscious on the side of the bed, and laboriously moved him to the bed, covered him with a quilt, and silently prayed for her grandfather's physical recovery.

Having lost someone to communicate with, she began to look for someone she could replace. "Where's Dad?" Fan Xi'er thought of Dad, Dad must have known about such a big thing, and he would definitely come to find us. Fan Xi'er thought optimistically and began to do her best to clean up the house

Half a day passed, and Grandpa still didn't wake up.

"Isn't Daddy here yet? Where's Daddy!?" she felt that something was wrong when she had finished cleaning the house.

A day passed, and Grandpa still didn't wake up. "Where's Daddy, Where's Daddy!" her eyes welled up in tears as she stood by the bed.

The eldest brother of the watch city came exhausted, and when he saw the weak Fan Xi'er, he was silent.

"Big brother, are you going to help me find my father? Big brother is the best! I'm going too!What, is Dad in the Demon Forest, do you want to go alone......"

"Big brother, you're back! Why is the big brother covered in blood? Have you found your father, big brother speaks? The girl shook his body, but he hung his head and did not speak.

"This is Daddy's-...... the sword" Xi'er, who saw the ten-year-old boy hanging down in his hand, was broken, but Xi'er, who had been in contact with it from time to time, instinctively recognized it.

At this moment, the world seemed to collapse.
