Poplar Town, a small town seventy or eighty kilometers away from Kata City, is not very remote, if you walk, you can walk from the town to Kata City in a daytime, if you take a carriage, then you can reach it in half a day. 【New--】[]

Just as there are a large number of small towns in this world, which are attached to some big cities to survive, Poplar Town is also dependent on Kata City to survive. Poplar Town is very ordinary, just like its name is very ordinary, just one of the countless ordinary towns in this world. The area of the town is not large, because the area is large, then the outer wall must be very large, so in order to build a wall more than two meters high, all the buildings in the town are very tightly packed together. If someone looks at Poplar Town from a distance, it is easy to mistake it for a super-large manor house with a length of 100 meters and width.

There are more than 1,000 households in Baiyang Town, and the population is relatively large, reaching about 5,000 people. The structure of the town is relatively complete, with a mayor and a militia guard of dozens of people, who maintain law and order in the town on weekdays, as well as beware of some bad guys such as robbers. In addition to people's houses, there are some different types of shops in the town, tailors, grocery stores, food stores, pharmacies, etc., and even the only blacksmith shop in the town, which supplies some of the utensils that people need, as well as a small number of weapons and equipment.

It can be said that in addition to being a little smaller, Baiyang Town has a smaller population, and it is like a small city that can be completely self-sufficient.

On this day, on the edge of the town gate facing Kata City, two young men in what seemed to be uniforms, but they were a little sloppy, were sitting on the edge of the door and chatting.

It looks like these two people are the militia guards of Poplar Town. Serve as the gatekeeper. It's just that only one or two people from Poplar Town enter and leave the town gate for half a day, and there are no people who do evil things in the middle of the day, so the two young guards guarding the gate take the opportunity to be lazy, and no one blames them.

"Look! There's a carriage coming over there. Suddenly, a young guard spotted a horse-drawn carriage speeding towards him in the distance. [ ..] So, the two young guards quickly stood up. []

"It looks like you're here in Poplar Town."

"I'm sure. This carriage must not be from our town, it must be from outside. "Poplar is so small, so every family knows its roots. Whether it is an outsider or not, the people in the town can tell it at a glance.

"You guard the door first, and I'll go and fetch Captain Karn." After speaking. The young guard immediately turned around and ran.

The carriage quickly stopped at the town gate, and it was a big man who drove the car, and he did not get out of the carriage, nor did he pay attention to the young guards who were on guard beside him, but knocked on the door of the carriage with his hand, and said, "Katisha, my hometown has arrived." ”

Then the door of the carriage opened, and half of the girl's body stretched out from inside, and she looked at the wall in front of her, which was not high or thick, and the town gate as if it were a fictitious form. said: "Ryan, is this the town where you grew up?" ”

"Yes! I haven't been back for years, and I can't imagine that nothing has changed. Ryan was so excited that he came back home with a very deep voice. His heart suddenly floated with complicated feelings of wanting to see his parents and being afraid of seeing them.

The young guard guarding the door was very nervous, and he looked at the carriage pulled by two horses in front of him, the carriage was very large, although it was covered with a layer of dust, and it looked a little old. But at a glance, people can still tell that the carriage is a valuable thing. The young guard wanted to step forward and question Ryan, but seeing the power that Ryan unconsciously exuded, he was so shocked that he didn't dare to step forward, and just stood in place.

Just then, another young guard brought an older, stocky man who looked about the same age as Ryan. The big man seemed to have a lot of experience, and after he looked at Ryan a little, he stepped forward and asked, "Your Excellency, are you going to enter our Poplar Town?" ”

The big man could see that Ryan was not a chauffeur, but a figure who seemed to be quite powerful and of status, so he used honorifics. [Welcome to Reading .nt] (Just to the leaves, Yo ~ Yo .)

Ryan, who was immersed in memories, was interrupted from his thoughts, he was not angry but looked at the big strong man in front of him, and suddenly felt extremely familiar, and suddenly he quickly found the relevant information from the dusty memory for a long time. Ryan jumped out of the carriage and shouted with a smile, "Karn, don't you know me?" I'm Ryan! ”

This big guy is the companion Ryan saw when he was reborn into this world, that is, Ryan's companion who used to hang out with in Kata City, and since that duel of the guardian mages, Karn has returned to his hometown, and Ryan has never seen Karn again. This time, Ryan returned to his hometown, and he was very happy to see Karn again.

"Ryan, are you Ryan?" Karn couldn't believe his eyes, and he asked, dumbfounded.

Ryan couldn't help but step forward and gently hammer Karn's shoulder, which was Ryan's favorite action before, and then laughed and scolded, "Stinky boy, have I changed so much?" You don't even know me. ”

Indeed, Ryan didn't know that he had really changed a lot, and his appearance was fine, not much changed, but he had just become a little more mature. However, the biggest change is temperament, the little person who used to be stunned has now become a master who is known as the first person below level 7 swordsman, and his temperament naturally has a earth-shaking change, especially Ryan's body exudes a kind of power that makes people feel faintly stressed, which makes people dare not wait to ignore it at first sight. Just like when Karn saw Ryan just now, he couldn't help but use honorifics to Ryan.

Finally, Karn let out a long sigh of relief as he finally recognized Ryan and muttered, "You...... You've changed so much, I can't really recognize it. After so many years of not hearing from you, now you're finally back. ”

"Yes! It feels good to be home. Ryan couldn't help but sigh, and then he chatted with Karn a few more words, and then said, "Karn, I'll go home first, and I'll talk to you later." ”

"Good! Go back quickly, your father and mother are looking forward to your return! With that, Karn motioned for the two young guards, who were still standing, to get out of the way and let Ryan's carriage into town.

Next, Ryan did not climb into the carriage, but pulled the reins of the horse and walked home slowly. Katisha also got out of the carriage and walked with Ryan.

The streets of Poplar Town are not wide, about the width of two or three horse-drawn carriages passing side by side, and the dwellings on either side are the same as in other places, with attics and courtyards, but they are smaller in size and lower in height. There are not many shops on both sides of the street, only a few are open, and the stores are very small, and the stores are hardly decorated, just a few goods are simply placed. This is very normal, there are so many people in the town, and it is a great waste to have a store that is too big and spend money on decoration.

There is a large square in the town for people to rest, and there are some idlers and many children who are sitting and playing in the square.

Ryan pulled the carriage and walked side by side with Katisha through the square, and suddenly remembered his childhood in Ruixin, who often frolicked and played in the square like this group of children, and he couldn't help but laugh.

The arrival of Ryan and the others attracted all the people in the square to look over, full of curiosity about Ryan. Ryan looked at these curious people, and the memories in his heart floated up, and he immediately vaguely recognized several of them. Ryan wanted to call it out loud, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed back, because Ryan saw awe in the eyes of these people, and when Ryan looked at them, their eyes unconsciously avoided Ryan's direct gaze.

"Alas!" Rui Anxin sighed lightly and continued to walk, the street under his feet has not changed for so many years, allowing him to gradually recall the bits and pieces in the depths of his memory, which makes him feel warm. As a result, Ryan's soles splendid, and he desperately wanted to see his parents.

There weren't many people on the street, just a few people who had shopkeepers, and some people who were sitting in front of their homes, all of them looking at Ryan as he passed by, full of curiosity. With their eyesight, they naturally saw that Ryan was foreign, and Ryan was majestic, the swordsman clothes on his body were not properly dressed, and there was a sword that looked very expensive hanging from his waist, which made them all guess what Ryan was here for.

"Aunt Betsy, long time no see." Finally seeing a very familiar person, Ryan couldn't help but say hello.

"You...... Who are you? An aunt who was sitting at the door quickly stood up and asked nervously.

"I'm Ryan! I'm back now. Ryan was not surprised by this, and then he added, "Aunt Bessie, I'll go home first, and I'll talk to you later." ”

Then, Ryan ignored Aunt Bessie, who was still surprised, and continued walking. Next, Ryan let go of his worries and kept greeting people he knew on both sides of the street, much to their surprise, knowing that Ryan, the son of Pete, the old blacksmith in town, had returned, and had become a big man.

Finally, Ryan's home arrived, a small attic that was no different from the surroundings, with a large open façade on the first floor, a small counter, and several shelves, and dozens of instruments for different purposes.

There is no one in the storefront, usually Ryan's mother should be guarding the store at the counter, maybe just go inside the house, the security in Poplar Town is very good, and there is no need to keep an eye on the storefront all the time.

Ryan stopped, looked at everything that was so familiar in front of him, and his mood became excited again.

"Hiss......"

The horse next to him screamed, and Ryan quickly reached out and patted the horse's back to calm the horse down.

At this moment, an old man came out of the store, looking like he was fifty or sixty years old, but his forehead was wrinkled deeply, and his sideburns had turned gray. He was very large, but at this moment he was slightly bent over and began to show signs of hunchback.

Suddenly, Ryan was stunned, forgot to speak for a while, and in his eyes, began to moisten slightly.

At the same time, the old man was also stunned, and in his eyes, first at a loss, then with disbelief, and finally into ecstasy. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
