After Mu left, Lianhua sat down again, he looked up at the night sky, listening to the night breeze blowing through the trees on both sides of the road, and the "rustling" sound of leaves. Lianhua's heart was also like the leaves, and she couldn't calm down for a long time, and the scenes from her childhood began to appear in her mind...

At the age of three, he remembered only two things clearly about him at that time, one was that a giant snake was sealed in his body, and this giant snake was the murderer who killed his grandfather and destroyed his grandfather's village. The other thing is that the person who sealed this hateful serpent into him was his father.

At the age of four, he was still very weak at that time, and he could only use some simple martial arts, and he couldn't fight at all. One day, his father gave him a dagger and put him in a small dark room, along with three wild wolves who had been hungry for several days. "Kill them if you want to live," was the last thing my father said as he closed the door. God knows what he experienced in that room at that time, the three hungry wolves looked at him with such greed, and he still clearly remembers that although he finally killed the three hungry wolves under the strong desire to survive, the tearing and biting wounds all over his body made him unconscious for seven days. When he woke up seven days later, his physical injuries were almost healed, but his psychological injuries were expanding infinitely, the scene he saw before he fell unconscious, his blood-stained hands tortured him all the time for a long time afterward, he couldn't close his eyes, as long as he closed his eyes, the bloody hands would appear, and he could even smell the suffocating smell of blood in the room. Even in this state, his father's training for him never stopped.

At the age of five, his father took him to a mountain, which was an uninhabited mountain, and in the mountains there were wild beasts except for trees, where bears and wild boars were the most common. "I'll pick you up in a year, don't die. My father left only one sentence and left without looking back. He can only survive on his own, fortunately, his martial arts skills are quite solid, even so, he almost died several times under the giant claws of bears and wild boars, during the day he was hiding from the beasts in the mountains, and at night he had to carry out the sneak attacks of the beasts, closing his eyes and having a nightmare of bloody hands tormenting him, his physical condition was getting worse and worse, he knew that he couldn't go on like this, he would definitely not live for a year, he would become a meal for the beasts, he couldn't die here, he couldn't. So, he used sharpened branches as weapons, and when he encountered wild beasts, he no longer ran away, he began to fight for survival, began to kill for survival, and the more he killed, the more skilled he became. Strange to say, as he killed more, the nightmare of the bloody hand no longer appeared. During this year, he learned how to survive in the wild, and it was also during this year that he became silent.

At the age of six, his father, who took him to the Eastern Plains, an area infested with low-level demonic beasts, and his father tied ten pieces of lead to his feet, threw him two daggers, and left without saying anything or looking at him. Although the demonic beasts infested in the eastern plains were all low-level, but for him who was only six years old at the time, even the cub of a low-level demonic beast was much stronger than the beast, he remembered that at first a young low-level thunder lizard almost killed him, and then he was chased by a group of low-level double-crested birds, because of the lead tied to his feet, he was quickly caught up and surrounded by them, they pecked at his body with their long beaks, and the flesh was torn off piece by piece, just when he thought he was going to die, the giant snake appeared, this was the first time he used the power of the giant snake, and the group of double-crowned birds besieging him were instantly killed in front of this force。 For the next two years, he hovered between life and death, and countless times when he was about to face the danger of death, the power of the giant snake would appear and resolve it for him, and he gradually mastered the power of the giant snake. Two years later, the low-level demonic beasts on the Eastern Plains no longer posed any threat to him, and one day a 'shadow crow' flew in front of him with the words written on it to let him go home.

However, on his way home, an accident occurred, in which he fell into a deep coma due to the excessive use of the power of the giant serpent, which lasted for two years, and when he woke up again, he was already ten years old. His father came to see him the day after he woke up, didn't say anything, and left after a while.

It was in that year that he officially became a mercenary, an "E" class mercenary. In the first few years of becoming a mercenary, he spent very little time at home, only returning home every year for his mother's and sister's birthdays and Chinese New Year's Eve, and the rest of the time he spent outside doing tasks. That's why he was able to qualify as a "B" mercenary at this age.

A few years passed like this, until three years ago, he was forcibly terminated as a mercenary by his father because of his involvement in an incident, and despite his objections, he was ordered to return home and placed a grounding order. At first, he ignored it, and his father even used the power of the family to round him up, and he was no longer the one he used to be slaughtered, many years of mercenary life and experience allowed him to escape from the pursuit, and after several failed pursuits, his father personally intervened. He remembered very well that it was in an unknown small village, his father was at the end of a path with his hands on his chest, and he rushed over without hesitation, and in the face of his father's merciless strength, in a short ten rounds, he was defeated, and he was a mess, and finally he was tied home by his father.

In the three years after returning home, he never spoke or communicated with his father, and the two did not even say hello when they met, but they did not see him. Recently, there was a conversation, and it was because of this conversation that he chose to run away from home.

And what made him strange was that his father only sent Mu Lai after knowing his whereabouts, and also said that he pretended not to know, which was incomprehensible.

If it weren't for the memory of a few days ago, his father would have always been so stern, so unkind, so ruthless, and so unreasonable, and he had never even seen his father smile since he was a child.

"Father, what kind of person are you?" Lianhua muttered as she thought about it.

"Mu said that you went to the imperial capital, was it for that incident?" Thinking of this, Lianhua couldn't help but look to the north, where the imperial capital was located.

...

The night gradually departed, the sky was slightly brighter, and the water vapor in the air slowly formed a morning mist due to the increase in temperature, and the morning mist shrouded the forest and the forest path like a light veil, and the sound of birdsong in the distance interrupted Lianhua's thoughts, making him realize that the night had passed unconsciously.

Lianhua stretched her waist to the sky, moved her body that had been sitting all night, especially behind her waist and neck, and jumped off the roof of the car with a turnover.

Lucy happened to push open the door of the carriage and walked out of it, and saw Lianhua greeting with a smile, "Morning, Lianhua, I have worked hard for you at night." ”

"Morning," Lianhua was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response, "What's wrong?"

"Ah~ I can't sleep. Lucy's face suddenly turned red.

"Can't sleep in a carriage?"

"No, no. Lucy quickly shook her head, but her face turned even redder. "It wasn't because you didn't sleep well yesterday because you didn't sleep next to me. Lucy muttered inwardly.

Seeing Lucy's expression, Lianhua suddenly thought of a question and said, "I'm sorry to let you sleep in the same room with a group of men, and today we will try to dare to go to Waize Village." ”

"No, no, it's okay. Everyone knows each other so well. Lucy said with a blushing face and waving her hands.

Seeing Lucy's expression, Lianhua decided to change the subject, "I'm going to get them some breakfast, do you want to come along?"

"Okay. Lucy nodded as she jumped out of the carriage.

The two walked side by side towards the woods.

When the sun rises over the horizon again, the sun shines into the morning mist, and a new day begins.
