Chapter 3: The Town
In the center of Rockfall is a two-story attic made of cyan stones. Outside the attic, there is a wall composed of eight stone pillars more than one meter high, and the stone pillars are carved with eight kinds of weapons: halberds, spears, sticks, knives, swords, spears, bows, and axes.
On the second floor of the attic, there is a square hall more than 100 meters long, where important matters in the town are usually discussed.
The hall was crowded with people at the moment, and there was a slight sound of conversation in the middle of the crowd.
"Mayor Xiaohe, are they really not coming back?" it was an old man who spoke, and his old face was full of sadness at the moment.
He Qi was raised by him since he was a child, and this child was pitiful since he was a child, and when he appeared at his door, he was dressed in dusty and shabby clothes, like a little beggar, who remembered nothing but his own name.
"Maybe it's a mess at home, it's stimulating!!" he thought at the time, as for why he appeared in a small town where no outsiders could enter, who would say well.
After all, this world is full of unknowns and coincidences, and the mayor of the town is said to have successfully gone out.
For He Qi, he has always regarded him as his son, and now that his son has been told that he may never come back, I wonder which father in the world would be able to withstand such a blow.
"Don't worry, don't worry, now we have sent to find it, you have been standing here all night, go and rest first, maybe there will be news of them soon!。 The mayor said softly to the king blacksmith, but there was a solemn flash in his eyes.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry, with my father's strength, Brother Qi will not be in danger!!" At this moment, it was Yang Yu, the son of Captain Yang, who spoke at this moment, he and He Qi grew up together, one year younger than He Qi, and the relationship between the two was very good.
Originally, this time he wanted to go out with He Qi, but he was driven back from the gate of the town by his father, and the town stipulated that men under the age of sixteen were not allowed to leave the town.
For him, the one who is missing at the moment is his father, and the other is his hair small, to say that he is not worried is to deceive himself, but after thinking about his father's strength, he doesn't think they will be too much danger.
The mayor nodded towards Yang Yu, patted Yang Yu's shoulder with his hand, and sighed softly.
The person who walked from the town into the depths of the Lingxi Canyon was not strong, but that person still didn't come back after all!
The strength of the ancestors of Luoyan Town was not great, and in the end, they had to close the town at night.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and the mayor looked to the place where the footsteps came, and saw a man hurrying in through the crowd, and everyone made way for him.
"What's the matter, so flustered?" the mayor scolded at the man in front of him.
"Find ...... Found it" Lin Fan said, the excitement in his heart actually made him stammer at the moment.
"What have you found, you speak slowly, don't be too anxious?" the mayor looked at Lin Fan and nodded lightly. Everyone around also looked at Lin Fan with questions on their faces
"Team... Team.... Captain and Xiao Qi are back!!" Lin Fan calmed down and said loudly to everyone, he could no longer control his excitement at this moment.
"Back to ...... Are you sure you read that right?" The mayor of the town was also full of shock, and asked loudly, and the people around him were whispering at the moment.
Blacksmith Wang, who was originally silent on the side, gently put his hands on Lin Fan's shoulders at this moment, he looked at Lin Fan, and asked in a trembling tone, "Are you really back?"
"It's back!!" He Qi looked at the old man in front of him and said softly, his heart was full of shame.
At this moment, he and Uncle Yang were already standing in the crowd, and everyone gave way to them when they saw this.
The air seemed to be forbidden at this moment, and the cheers, sobs, and shouts in his ears could not shake He Qi's gaze at this moment, he quietly looked at the old man in front of him who looked extraordinarily vicissitudes, and tears unconsciously rolled in his eyes.
If he hadn't run out while hunting, the rest would not have happened, and the old man wouldn't have been so sad, after all, he was too willful.
"I'm sorry!" he said softly to the old man, bowing his head.
"It's good to be back. The old man walked up to He Qi, patted He Qi's shoulder gently, and whispered in his ear. "You've grown up, and you have your own thoughts on doing things, just do what you want, don't care about me.
But you must remember that life is the most important thing, and you should do less things that you are not sure of in the future!!"
After speaking, the old man quietly walked out of the hall, He Qi sighed softly, caught up with the old man's footsteps, and followed him out.
Seeing this, everyone in the hall also suppressed their curiosity in their hearts, and dispersed together, a new day had just begun, and there were still many things waiting for them to do.
"You guys go back too" Uncle Yang looked at the people in his hunting team, then looked at Yang Yu and said to them, everyone wanted to speak and stopped, and finally nodded and left the hall.
At this moment, there are eight people left in the hall, and whenever there is something important in the town, it will be decided by the eight of them, they are the managers of the town, and they are also the eight strongest people in the town.
There are a total of seven hunting teams in the town, and the hunting teams not only have to go out hunting, they also need to collect medicine, mine and maintain the safety and security of the town, and the people standing in the hall at this time are the captains of the seven hunting teams.
"Come in with me," the mayor said to the crowd standing around him, and walked to the small room to the right of the hall, where they followed.
At this moment, the newborn morning sun shines through the window, and the small room is extraordinarily bright and transparent. The mayor looked at Uncle Yang and asked, "Yang Li, did you encounter anything last night?"
"Met ....... That's when it was ........ In the end, the night passed, and we came back safely," Uncle Yang nodded to everyone, and then told the story of the night.
"So, the last light from his chest swallowed that thing??" A man in the crowd asked, his tone full of disbelief.
"Yes!!" Uncle Yang nodded at him.
"I have long felt that there is something wrong with that kid's origin, and he was mysterious when he first appeared at the king's blacksmith's house. ”
"That's right, how could an ordinary person enter Falling Rock Town. ”
"And what to do with this kid now?" the crowd chattered, and the mayor quietly looked at the sunlight out the window as if thinking about something, and did not say anything.
"I don't think there will be any problems with Xiao Qi, with his heart, he won't pose a threat to the town!!, not to mention that he didn't know what happened at that time" Uncle Yang interrupted everyone's discussion and spoke. Among the people, he gets along with He Qi the most, and he also knows Xiao Qi better than others.
"It's not that I'm worried about him, but I'm afraid that someone behind him has bad intentions......" someone shook his head lightly and said, the safety situation in the town is of great significance to them, and there is no room for slackness.
"Alright, let's stop here, don't leak it. As for He Qi, don't worry too much, if I find any bad signs, I will take action myself, let it be natural now..."The mayor came back to his senses, raised his hand to interrupt everyone's discussion, and said slowly.
"But Mayor Mayor, are we really leaving it alone? there's obviously something wrong with that kid," someone retorted.
"No need, I know this matter in my heart, don't deliberately investigate him in the future, just treat it as if it didn't happen. The mayor whispered, motioning for everyone to stop.
