The bleak autumn breeze falls with the last rays of afterglow, sweeping away the last bit of warmth.

Outside the deserted city, just after the beast tide had passed, and under the hill where the corpses of demon beasts were piled up, a young girl suddenly opened her eyes.

Headache, countless images like gushing springs, stuffing her sea of knowledge.

It was a fragment of memory, long and long.

There are too many, as if they are about to burst the sea of knowledge. The girl clenched her teeth and held back the raging and violent pain, and her open eyes bulged slightly from the pain, and they were covered with bloodshots.

I don't know how long it took, the girl exhausted the last of her strength and closed her eyes unwillingly. Consciousness fell into darkness.

The sky gradually darkened, and bright stars hung on the dark curtain. On the battlefield after the tide of monsters receded, only the autumn wind was blowing, as if it was singing an endless lamentation and elegy for so many lost lives.

There was a sound wrapped in the wind and scattered all around the empty place.

What's that sound?

Listen carefully - it was the call of a young girl.

"Su see the star, Su see the star, Su - see the star......" The voice called a name. I called for a long time, but no one responded.

"Su Jianxing-" A little girl who looked about eleven or twelve in height was carrying a wind lantern, panting and turning around the corpse, turning over and calling Su Jianxing's name on the other.

Fine sweat was already on her forehead, her back was already soaked, her hands were trembling, but she still refused to give up.

"Forget it, Ah Yue, don't look for it. This monster tide is too fierce, even if you barely survive, you must be seriously injured, and you don't know how many more days you can live, your friend hasn't gone back until now, most of them are gone. The uncle who came out together persuaded him.

Ah Yue shook her head, her eyes red: "She'll be fine, she's a monk." ”

"What is a monk?" The uncle didn't care: "The capable monks are all staying in the fairy mountain, and those who can come to the deserted city are tsk." "Uncle is only halfway there, but the meaning is already very obvious.

"No, she's not like anyone else." Ah Yue said very stubbornly: "It is said that the scourge will last for a thousand years, and she said that she is a scourge, and she will not die so easily." ”

Seeing that the little girl was obsessed, the uncle didn't persuade him anymore. He and the Su sisters are also quite familiar, Su Jianxing, who just came to the deserted city two years ago, rescued the orphan Ah Yue from the mouth of the demon beast, and then the two of them depended on each other, and Su Jianxing raised Ah Yue as a sister.

Two years is not a long time, but the grace of saving lives and the grace of nurturing, it is no wonder that Ah Yue is so stubborn.

The uncle sighed and told Ah Yue to be careful, and call him if he found someone. Although he also received Ah Yue's money this time, it was only incidental. He is a treasure hunter, a profession unique to deserted cities. Whenever the tide of monsters outside the city recedes, it is the day when they come out to work.

There are so many demon beast corpses, but they are all treasures. Demon Beast Pill, Demon Beast Skin, Horn and even the organs of some Demon Beasts are all good refining tools and alchemy materials, and there are many things to pick up, if you can pick up a few more storage bags...... Not only a year's income, but also the relocation of the family.

There is no one who lives in this deserted city who does not want to leave.

The uncle sighed, put away his thoughts, and went to the side to get busy.

Ah Yue reached out to wipe a handful of tears and continued to look forward. Although he didn't admit his uncle's words, his heart was heavy in the end, and when he continued to call his name, his voice was a little fluttering.

I don't know how many demon beast corpses I turned over, and Ah Yue didn't call anymore, but silently opened one demon beast corpse after another. Just as she numbly pushed away a hill made of several demon beasts, that familiar face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Ah Yue let out an "oops", took a step back, and sat on the ground with weak legs.

She slowed down for a while, then calmed down a little, picked up the wind lanterns scattered around, and staggered over to look closely.

It's really Su Jianxing, she has been looking for Su Jianxing for a long time.

Su Jianxing closed his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression was not serene. You can't see your face in the dim light. She was still buried below her shoulder blades, and she couldn't see anything, but Ah Yue remembered that she was wearing a moon-white dress when she left, but now she couldn't see the original color at all.

Ah Yue didn't dare to think about whether it was dirty or something else. She trembled and stretched out her index finger to put it under the tip of Su Jianxing's nose, wanting to see if she was still breathing.

At this moment, Su Jianxing opened his eyes.

"Ah——!h Screams resounded through the sky, instantly breaking the silence in the darkness.

Uncle Bao immediately rushed over when he heard the movement, but saw Ah Yue sitting on the ground with a panicked expression.

"Ah Yue, what's the matter?"

Ah Yue pursed her lips, stretched out her hand and pointed to the place where Su Jianxing was, and she didn't hold back a word for a long time.

The uncle looked at the pile of demon beast corpses, and then at Ah Yue, so he simply carried the lamp and went over to take a look.

The light happened to fall on Su Jianxing's face. The uncle met Su Jianxing's gaze at a glance.

"Oh, my mother." Uncle Treasure was also startled, and almost threw the lamp, but fortunately, he was bold, took a second look, and saw Su Jianxing blinking.

"Alive, alive!" The uncle put his mind at ease and said to Xiao Yue: "Your friend is lucky and still alive." Don't be stunned, since you have found someone, quickly pick her out, see where the injury is, if it is not serious, I will help you carry her back. ”

In the end, the uncle's words calmed Ah Yue from his fear, and seeing that the uncle was already pulling the corpse of the demon beast that was pressing on Su Jianxing's body, he hurriedly rushed up to help.

Soon, Su Jianxing was pulled out intact. Her chest was light, and she was finally liberated from being able to speak because her breathing was blocked.

Su Jianxing opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Ah Yue: "I'll show you if you're hurt first." ”

After confirming that Su Jianxing had only suffered some minor injuries and was fine, Ah Yue could no longer hold back the worry and fear that had been held all day, and threw herself into Su Jianxing's arms and cried.

Su Jianxing saved some strength, raised his hand to touch the top of the little girl's hairy head, and laughed softly: "Good, don't cry, it's so ugly." ”

"......" Ah Yue sniffed and cried even louder.

Su Jianxing: "......"

Uncle Treasure couldn't look at it, and said righteously: "Miss Su, don't tease Ah Yue, this kid has been worried all day." ”

Su Jianxing looked teachable: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault." ”

Uncle Bao didn't talk about it anymore, and only proposed to send them back to the city earlier. Su Jianxing refused, only saying that he was suppressed for a while, and they would go back on their own later.

Uncle Treasure Picker was also happy and relaxed, and quickly said goodbye and left. When he was far away, Ah Yue, who was sobbing and choking, suddenly raised her face from Su Jianxing's arms and glared at her angrily: "If you don't ask him to send you back, didn't I spend money in vain?" ”

"Ah, you're willing to spend money for me?" Su Jianxing made a surprised expression, but looked at Ah Yue's eyes that were about to burst into flames, and suddenly surrendered: "Okay, good, it's my fault to ask you to spend money in vain." It's okay, we'll earn it back on our own in a while. ”

"How do you earn it?" Ah Yue looked confused and asked sincerely.
