Before dawn, the snow began to boil and fall again.

Leaving the refinery, I walked a long mountain road and passed through a small town. Nance stole a car from the police station and drove it down the foothills.

The heating in the car was on sufficiently, and he was humming a song, his shadow holding an owl, and his toes treading to the beat of the music. After a while, as if confused, she tightened her dark brow and asked Nance, "What song are you singing?"

"CaliforniaDrean." Nance shook his shoulders slightly.

"It's good, but it's behind the times." The shadow paused slightly, and then said "I said, uncle, Californians like to listen to that kind of noisy heavy metal rock, and no one listens to your folk tune rock, it's stupid."

「nonono!」

Nance grabbed the steering wheel, cocked his fingers, shook it, and said, "This California is not the Other California."

Hearing his pretentious words, the shadow shrugged his shoulders and looked out the window with an undeniable look.

"Allevearebron, Andekyigrey......" Nance hummed, his tone suddenly changed, "Onadarkdeerigay......

"Uncle, what are you doing?" The shadow tilted her jaw to look at him, and said unhappily, "Why did you change your tune?"

"Changed the song."

"Or California?"

"Yes, this time it's a California guest house."

"Is there more California?"

"Hmm...... There are a lot of them." Nance shook her legs, relaxed and casual, "CaliforniaGirl, it sings like this: The sun is shining on the West Coast, and the California girls have the sun on their skin."

"Oh-" Shadow slurred and yawned, "Stop singing, rustic!"

Nance had to change the subject: "It's almost home, how are you feeling?"

"I don't want to go home."

"Did you quarrel with your family?"

"There was no quarrel." The shadow shook his head and said boredly, "I just want to stay alone in a place that is not home, and wait quietly until dawn."

"Don't blame the uncle for being long-winded, there is no safe place in this world where the girl can spend the night alone." Nance looked at the narrow road ahead and proposed, "Let's take the ninth lesson later, go to school during the day and accompany my sister at night."

The shadow shrugged.

The little hand touched the thigh, as if trying to touch the gum, but there was nothing on the smooth skin. So she shook her neck as if she was uncomfortable, and squinted her eyes at the side of Nance's face: "Why is Uncle so persistent in luring me to Lesson 9?"

"I think Qingxian's future is promising!"

"I'm not looking forward to the future." Shadow leaned back in her chair boredly, wrapping her long, slender black hair around her fingers, "Sister is, she is one in a hundred beauties, and she attracts attention wherever she goes. As for me, I'm small, small-breasted, lazy, and don't speak politely, compared to my sister."

You know you're rude!

"Don't talk so badly about yourself." Nance smiled and looked at her slightly, "Aren't you cute? It's not a compliment, among the girls I know, you are the only one in terms of cuteness, and you look like a little angel."

"Is it true? Or is it just to coax me into lying? I hope you will be frank, uncle." ….

"I don't lie to you."

"How many girls have you seen?"

"One or two hundred."

"Only one or two hundred?" Shadow said disappointed, "I thought my uncle knew a lot of girls."

"If you count what you see on the street, there are more than that, there are tens of thousands."

Shadow nodded in satisfaction, "That's pretty much it."

The eastern sky was faintly glowing, and it would not be long before dawn came.

In front of the road, there is a small town surrounded by walls.

"This is South Bay

It's towned." Shadow said, his tone somewhat uninterested, "With a population of less than 7,000, it is not well-known, and its main industries are agriculture and animal husbandry."

Nance abandoned the car and walked forward with her, the owl purring asleep.

Like all remote towns, this town once looked very dilapidated and old. There is only one north-south street in the whole town, and the alleys next to it are lined with small bars, noodle shops, game halls and other small shops.

"On a sunny day, temporary stalls are set up on both sides of the road. There are balls, mice, cloth heads, shampoo, children's clothes and other things, and some stalls will also have sewing machines for pay-per-use use......" Shadow introduced as she walked down the long street with Nance.

At dawn, most of the shops along the street have not yet opened, and the small traffic island in the middle of the street is cold.

There are only a few things that Nance can remember all the way to the town: half of the handwriting is so mutilated that he can't read the guide map, the dirty white dog struggling to make a living, the poster recruiting absenteeism; A two-storey shop, the office building of an agricultural federation and the Livestock Industry Promotion Association, and a thermal power plant with chimneys soaring into the sky.

"Why?" The shadow raised his hand into the distance, "It's here."

Nance followed the line of sight.

Under the northernmost wall of the town, there is a small courtyard fenced by a small building with a dilapidated façade. The details are not real, only the outline of the black fish emerges. Looking at it from a distance, under the dim space of dawn, there was a heavy sense of silence.

Outside the wall, there seemed to be a river, and the sound of the water was heard low, and the wind whistled overhead.

Nance's collar was cocked up to cover his neck.

The shadow stepped into the courtyard, ascended the stairs of the veranda, and knocked on the door.

After a few moments, a woman with an oil lamp opened the door, put her hand over the light, and beckoned Nance, "Welcome to the Humble House."

Then she stood on the verandah in front of the door, her silhouette illuminated by an oil lamp, and her figure looked like a classical illustration.

The moment the door opened, the shadow slipped into his room with Doraa Goo in his arms, without saying hello to his mother.

Nance climbed the verandah and entered the house.

There was a faint citrus scent in the air.

The woman came to the middle of the room and lit the large kerosene lamp hanging from the ceiling.

The building inside the house is simple, with a small table for eating, two wooden chairs, and an old sofa with white cushions. A fire pit was dug in front of the sofa, and an iron shelf was installed, and there were blackened iron pots and a few dried orange peels on the iron net.

The faint fragrance in the room, which is emitted by those orange peels, smells quite pleasant. ….

"Mr. Adel, please change into these slippers." The woman came out with a pair of brand-new cotton slippers and knelt down to help Nance take them off.

"No, no!" Nance held her hands, "You're so kind, I'll just come by myself."

"Then I'll get you something to eat." The woman got up again and walked to the kitchen.

Nance was secretly relieved.

This person is Mrs. Li, who is relatively petite and looks to be in her forties. With a slender figure and good-looking facial features, it's no wonder that she gave birth to two beautiful daughters.

Nance walked around the room amid the sound of voices coming from the kitchen.

It can be seen that the Li family is not very wealthy now, and the furniture looks like it was made by itself, which is relatively rough.

In the corner of the wall is a bookshelf made of thick wooden planks, on which many books are arranged. The spine is very old, and it has been actually seen. There is an old computer on the desk, which is estimated to be only used to check information, and cannot do production-related work. The utility room is filled with hoes, sickles, rust, and bamboo.

After a cursory glance, he came to the kitchen door.

Mrs. Lee was baking bread, and there was a small gas stove in the kitchen, and there was a sink. But there is no sewer, and an aluminum bucket next to it is considered a replacement. Pots and pots are placed on wooden shelves, and pans with long handles hang on the wall.

"Need help?" Nance asked.

"No, Mr. Adel, just get some rest

。」

"Just call me Nance."

Mrs. Lee thought for a moment and smiled back at him, "Very well, Mr. Nance."

Nance returned to the couch and sat down, sighing comfortably.

After driving the car for so long and fighting for so long, he is really tired now.

After a while, Mrs. Li came out with a small plate of toast and fruit, and looked at him on the sofa: "There are only some simple things at home, and I hope you don't dislike it."

"I'm bothering you." Nance bowed slightly.

"You're used to this, aren't you?" She asked.

"I'm a slum kid, and I'll never turn to food."

"That's good."

Mrs. Li put down the plate, sat down opposite Nance, and asked him not to be polite, but to eat more. She smiled slightly, looking at the young man who was eating, and the two of them should have a pleasant conversation next, she thought to herself.

"When did they return?" Nance asked, biting on her bread.

"When I came back in the early hours of the morning, I saw that they were all tired, so I let them take a shower and rest." Mrs. Li put her right hand on her thigh, folded the palm of her left hand on the back of her right hand, slightly sideways her legs, and her voice was gentle and demure, "My child's father worked in the fields during the day, and he went to bed at eight o'clock last night, and I didn't wake him up. I also ask for your understanding of my approach to receiving you from this woman's family."

"It makes me feel flattered." Nance smiled and took a sip of tea.

Mrs. Li chuckled, her eyes like a carpenter looking at wood, and watched him carefully.

Outwardly, this young man was undoubtedly extremely outstanding, which made her feel very gratified. She looked at it and thought of her eldest daughter, the hard-working child who was beautiful, had good grades, was kind, had an artistic sense and had a perfect personality, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten a little. ….

"What's wrong with you?" Nance noticed something was wrong with her mood.

"Oh, it's okay, I couldn't hold back for a while." Madame Li wiped her eyes with a small movement, and a smile appeared on her face, "I am grateful for everything you have done for Qinglian, we have nothing of value to repay you at the moment. You can make any requests......

As she spoke, she suddenly stood up.

Looks like you're going to kneel again?

"No, no!" Nance instantly felt a headache, and hurriedly spoke up to stop it, "That's within my job responsibilities, you don't have to take it so seriously. If that's the case, I'll go......

Mrs. Li sniffed and looked at him softly and weakly, "You ......"

"Don't use honorifics!" South Scar accentuated.

"Yah~"

Mrs. Li shrank her shoulders as if she was frightened by his loud voice.

"Listen, I don't have anything for you to do for me." Nance put on a hearty and amiable posture and said lightly, "This time I came to your house, and I was also entrusted by someone to pass on a few words to Mr. Li. As for whether Mr. Li agrees or not, it is also your family matter, and I will not forcibly intervene."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li's expression did not relax, but tightened her brows.

"Don't ...... that, sir."

"Say 'you,'"

"......," Mrs. Li said in a trembling voice, her face turned a little pale, her shoulders trembled, and she said in a trembling voice, "Be merciful......

With that, she bent her knees again and knelt down.

Nance didn't stop this time, but wanted to see what she had to say.

"The Li family is now in the middle of the road, and my husband and I can't protect our two lovely daughters." Mrs. Lee lowered her face, which had once been very conceited and happy, but now she was ashamed of herself. She moved her knees, slowly crawled up to Nance, plucked up the courage to tilt her face slightly, and sobbed and said, "Please take Qinglian and Qingxian away and protect them......

In the glow of the kerosene lamp, Nance could see that her face was red and her eyes were bright and moist.

The gaze in those eyes was pitiful, pleading for help, containing a mother's last struggle.

"Is something going on at home?" Nance asked her.

Mrs. Li lowered her eyes in pain and whispered, "There is a herd of wild boars migrating in the nearby mountains, passing through the outskirts of the town. Our family's experimental plot is on the predicted migration path, and my husband is a very stubborn person, and he will never let his hard work go to waste......

Nance just wanted to ask the wild boar what he was afraid of, but fortunately remembered in time that the "wild boar" here and the wild boar he knew should not be the same thing.

Magic can also parasitize in animals, which are significantly more difficult to control their emotions than humans, and therefore have a higher risk of infection.

Those animals that are powerful and fierce after infection are called alien beasts.

The migration of large-scale exotic beasts will attract lone animals to join in, forming a large-scale animal tide.

Large cities are generally protected by high walls.

In the wild towns, the walls are usually not high, and they can only withstand the impact of some small animal tides.

Fortunately, there is only a litter of wild boars here in Nanwan Town, and if there is another wolf pack or a lion pack, Nance can only run back to Shin-Yokohama with his secretary and sister overnight. ….

"Don't worry too much, ma'am." Nance comforted, "I don't know what the situation is right now, wait until I talk to Mr. Li before making a decision." But you can rest assured that I will protect their sisters."

"Thank you very much."

Mrs. Li kowtowed heavily before she stood up.

Seeing that Nance's clothes were dirty and torn, she said gently, "I'll help you boil hot water, hurry up and take a shower."

"Thank you, ma'am."

"There's a new bath towel, you put the dirty clothes in the bucket, and I'll deal with it tomorrow." Wash up and sleep, and when dawn I'll go to the bazaar and buy you some new clothes."

"How embarrassing is this......

"This is what our family should do, I'll measure you."

「……」

"He's so muscular."

「……」

"I'm done, let's go in."

「…… Don't follow, ma'am!"

"Don't you need Madame's help to wipe your back? I'm fine, as long as you need it."

「…… I'll do it myself, really!"

Nance quickly dodged into the bathroom, slamming the door shut.

Mrs. Li leaned against the door frame, her little hand covering her flushed cheeks, and while sighing with relief, she happily thought that the young man should be trustworthy.

The wind was whining, and the sound of iron sheets blowing outside the house sounded a little terrible.

Mrs. Li moved and entered another room.

In the small dark room, there were two extremely subtle snoring sounds, and she came to the bed of her little daughter. In the darkness, the mother bent down and kissed her daughter lightly on the cheek. I felt the warmth of that skin, and I didn't move away for a long time.

"Hmm~"

The sleeping girl frowned in displeasure.

The tip of her nose hummed a dissatisfied grumble, and she was tightly wrapped in the quilt, like a sleeping lazy cat.

Seeing her daughter's cute appearance, the corners of Mrs. Li's upright mouth turned up slightly, and she immediately felt that her nose was a little sour.

In the years when her family was in the middle of the road, she was tormented by poverty, and she had no expectations for life for a long time. The only thing she is thinking about at the moment is the life of her daughters, and for their sake, she can not care about anything.

"I hope this gentleman can bring you a life full of hope and happiness......" muttered Mrs. Lee as she left her daughter's room, and Nance happened to come out of the bathroom.

He didn't have a yukata, so he wrapped a bath towel around the top and bottom, and wrapped it tightly except for his arms and calves. But despite this, he was still panicked when facing his wife's smiling eyes.

- Mr. Li, don't wake up at this time!

In fact, Mrs. Li was also panicked.

In order to please him, she deliberately created a home-like intimate atmosphere, hoping that he would feel comfortable and good in the future

to protect her two daughters, whom she loves the most.

"Come and sleep here."

She led Nance to another room.

The lights were a little dim, but there were flashes of light everywhere in the room, and if you looked closely, there were all kinds of polished and shiny instruments.

Cornet, trombone, French horn, cymbals, drums, violins, and most conspicuously, an expensive quaint harp.

Some of these instruments, Nance has never even seen. ….

For example, the washboard-like thing, with a row of fingernail-like protrusions, took it in his hand while Mrs. Li was rummaging through things, and he didn't know how to make a sound, which was completely beyond his artistic level......

Mrs. Li took the quilt out of the closet, looked at him in confusion while making the bed, and said with a smile: "These are all musical instruments collected by Qinglian, she has been interested in music and drama since she was a child, and she can often participate in various competitions with her classmates when she is studying."

"Can they all still be used?" Nance asked.

"Something is broken and can't be fixed." Mrs. Li said with regret, "No one in Nanwan Town is interested in this kind of thing, and no one knows how to cultivate it, no one pursues it, just live." I used to love these beautiful instruments. Now, if I hadn't wanted to keep it and wait for my daughter to come home, I would have sold it for money."

Nance picked up a well-preserved violin and played the strings, making a dry sound.

"Let Qinglian show you later." A smile reappeared on Mrs. Li's face, and she said with some pride, "She has a talent, and the music she plays is as good as fairy music, and her former music theory teachers have said that she will definitely become a musician who will go down in history when she grows up."

What Nance thinks of is the beautiful snake with a chain hammer to open the peerless.

"The bed is made, you can rest quickly." Mrs. Li retreated to the door, took one last look at him, and said softly, "I'm in the opposite room, if you have any questions, just come and knock on the door."

"Thank you."

With the door closed, Nance lay down on the bed.

The kerosene lamp lit faintly on the tabletop, and an old accordion, like a weakened little animal, curled up pitifully on the table. He looked sideways for a while, but he couldn't connect the Li Qinglian in the mouth of the others with the Li Qinglian he knew, and fell asleep in a daze.

※※※※※

After Mrs. Li came out, she did not go back to her room to sleep.

Curled up on the couch for a moment, she picked up a broom and mop and swept the halls and corridors inside and out. The news that her eldest daughter is safe and sound, and the return home of her youngest daughter, who has been away from home for a long time, has rejuvenated her heart.

By eight o'clock in the morning, it was already dawning.

Although the sky was still covered with gloomy clouds, the sun still poured its free sunlight on the earth faintly and quietly.

Mrs. Li carefully washed her hands and face, and dressed up in the vanity mirror for the first time in a long time.

After applying rouge to my face, I felt as if I had changed my appearance, and I was so young.

Mrs. Li slapped the shoulders and chest of the sweater hard, as if to dust off it. Then she put on her basket and left home early to buy today's food.

The streets of the town are narrow.

As soon as a car passes by, a lot of snow will roll up and the crowd will be crowded. Today she was in high spirits of shopping, buying a full two kilograms of white bread and half a pound of butter at the bakery, and ham sausages, eggs and beef at the butcher's shop. Passing by a clothing store, I didn't forget to go in and buy two sets of clothes.

It is rare to spend that much money on a regular basis.

After buying these food and clothes today, Mrs. Li suddenly felt that a long-lost feeling of being a woman came to her heart, and her mood became more and more happy. ….

※※※※※

"Ah~"

Nance shook her neck and tumbled out of bed.

I opened the window and the sun was shining into the house, and it was almost noon.

I don't know if it's because he used too much force last night, his legs are extremely heavy now, and his waist feels extremely sore.

There is a dull ache in the back.

"If only someone gave me a massage......

He yawned and spat out a large cloud of white gas out of the window.

The branches of the trees outside were covered with snow, and the mountains outside the wall were almost covered in silver, except for the raised rocks that traced a few scarred ridges in the white.

Everything seemed clean and silent.

"There it is!"

Nance's eyes lit up.

Secretary Su was next door, pulled her over, and asked her to perform her duties as a secretary! He came out of the room, looked down the hallway with a sinister eyebrow, and then dodged into his sister's room.

It just so happened that my sister was also preparing to go out at this time.

Her slender figure, who was wearing a thin white T-shirt and underwear, was so frightened that she staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.

The floor was cold.

As soon as I sat down, my delicate skin was instantly stimulated.

Li Qingxian said "oh", jumped up with his little buttocks, and then crossed his hands on his hips and glared at Nance angrily: "Uncle, what are you doing!"

What a cute little hedgehog.

"I'll come in to find Sister Su." Nance looked away slightly.

Li Qingxian's figure is relatively thin, his slender body seems to fall down with a push, and he has just woken up, his cheeks are rosy and ruddy. The fresh and tender water that resembled a baby cabbage that was still thriving almost overflowed from her tiny body.

Well.

Although my sister is a little tricky, she is really tender.

"I'm going to tell my mom that you have bad intentions for me!" Li Qingxian blushed and yelled, and found a small skirt to put on. As she passed by Nance's side, she stepped on him again with a lot of grudges, and then jumped out of the room barefoot.

Nance thought to herself, your mother wishes I had bad intentions for you!

Oh no, it's more likely that I have bad intentions for your sister.

On the other bed in the room, Secretary Su slept on his back, his legs almost completely protruding from the quilt, and his skin was frozen red.

Nance just walked over.

Suddenly, a force came from behind him, kicking him almost directly on Susa.

"Ugh!"

Looking back, the black shadow spread out his little hand, and said helplessly, "The body asked me to sneak attack you, I can't resist."

"Go back and clean up together!" Nance said a cruel word, then bent down and pinched Miss Su's face with both hands, "Get up and work!"

"Smack!"

Susa slapped him away.

Her body rolled in the quilt, and she shrank into the quilt and murmured, "My sister's company has just been listed, don't disturb my dream of becoming the richest man."

"I'm going to help you refine the medicine." Nance said lightly, a kind of confidence in her tone.

In an instant, Susa turned over with a salted fish and looked at him sleepily: "Ah~"

This scream sounded so sad, and it felt like I had finally regained my freedom after decades of forced work in the black coal kiln. ….

Nance smiled slightly, "But I can't practice it now."

The secretary who was pinched by him immediately came over, pursed her lips slightly, and coquettishly said in that snorting tone: "Honey, what's wrong with you~"

"Eh, I'm tired." Nance said listlessly, looking like he had been hollowed out last night.

Bastard thing, don't think I don't know what you want to play...... Susa secretly despised him, and said with a heavy burden of humiliation: "Brother Emperor, is there anything that the mourning family can do for you?"

While calling her brother, she calls herself a mourner, she is such an unobtrusive person.

Nance glanced at her body in only underwear and turned her back, "Rub your shoulders."

"Here we are." Susa immediately crawled over on her knees, put her little hands on his shoulders and rubbed them gently, and asked in a coquettish voice, "Brother Emperor, is it okay to serve the mourning family?"

Nance patted her hand, "Fingers

The nail is too long."

Susa looked at her nails as perfect as a handicraft, and nodded reluctantly: "The mourning family will cut it immediately."

"Just cut it during the day, and come to my room at night."

"What?"

"Questions?"

"Brother Emperor, is this the body that wants to mourn the family?"

"Well, it's not impossible." Nance glanced back at her, Miss Su's foxy face was very attractive, and her breasts were huge.

Looking at him, Susa's sharp face was dyed with a flush, charming and seductive.

"Too, too, great......" she gritted her teeth, her tone didn't know whether it was pain or happiness, "The mourning family has long wanted to ask the emperor's brother for joy, and today finally got what he wanted......

Seeing her expression ready to die together, Nance shrugged her shoulders and said boredly, "It's just for you to help refine the medicine, who is rare about your body."

"Absolutely!"

Miss Su, who was able to get the potion again and didn't have to lose herself, was overjoyed. I saw her jumping into Nance's arms very unladylikely, her white thighs hooking his waist, holding his face with both hands, and smacking him heavily on the forehead.

This scene happened to be seen by Dora, who woke up, and Li Qingxian, who came in and called Nance for lunch.

Coincidentally, the eyes of the two little points of the Divine Alliance A fell on Miss Su's body in underwear, and Qi Qi wondered, "How can I grow so big......".

Fish fish move quickly
