"In the future, you have to go by yourself, even if there is Old Man Mei covering you, he is just your guide, wind, frost, rain and snow, thorns and bumps, you have to fight by yourself, go." Sun Linshan sent Haolin to the gate of the academy, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

Haolin solemnly bowed, this old man had no relationship with him, but he treated him sincerely.

"Teacher, when I am successful, I will come back to see you. ”

"Then you have to refuel, or you'll have to look at my tombstone when you come back." ”

Huangyan City, the gate of the east city, the day of departure is arranged by Sun Linshan, there is a caravan along the way today, Haolin followed the mighty caravan to set off, the road between the city and the city is very long, the caravan goes slowly, it usually takes five or six days to arrive, the caravan is equipped with a group of guards, such a long route, it is inevitable to encounter robbers and horse thieves or something.

Although the hike is very tiring, but this is nothing to Haolin, all the way listening to the caravan people talk about all kinds of anecdotes, Haolin has increased a lot of knowledge.

Between each big city, there is actually a teleportation array, some super-large cities, there is a teleportation array directly to Kyoto, the teleportation array needs 10 taels of gold to use once, if it is transported with goods, the price is higher, not ordinary people can afford to use.

Huangyan City is isolated in the southwest corner of the British Sea Kingdom, mainly to resist the invasion of wind and sand to the inland, and in the west of Huangyan City, that is, a little west of Xiaohe Village, is the boundless sea.

The destination of this caravan, Lengsha Pass, is the southernmost pass of the British Sea Kingdom. There is a large teleportation array in the Cold Evil Pass, but it is only for the use of the army, and in wartime, it can quickly gather troops. During the war, the army can quickly accumulate military merits, and after the war, relying on military merits and subsidies, you can also live a good life, and many children from poor families have chosen to practice martial arts and join the army.

There are very few cultivators in the world, because there are very few people with cultivation talents, and the resources required for cultivation are also very amazing, and they are not something that ordinary people can afford. The status of a cultivator is very high, even if the ruler of the country sees it, he has to salute, but the cultivator cannot attack mortals at will, unless his life is threatened, he will be attacked by other cultivators.

It was almost dark, and the caravan picked a high place not far from the roadside and set up camp.

Haolin also took out the tent that Sun Linshan had prepared for him and set it up in a similar way.

In this way, on the endless Gobi, after walking for four days, there are more and more bushes on the side of the road, which makes the tired crowd feel a little comforted, and it should be almost there.

"Everyone, work hard, we don't have to sleep in the wild today, we should be able to get to Xinyu Town in front before dark. The leader of the caravan shouted, snapped his whip, and the caravan began to speed forward.

"Where birds don't, and small towns, how hard it must be to live here!" Haolin sighed.

"It's the first time that little brother has taken this path. A swarthy man next to Haolin said: "Life is not easy, and this Xinyu Town is not easy." ”

The swarthy man didn't care whether Haolin liked to listen to it or not, and opened the conversation endlessly.

It turned out that a long time ago, there was no new feather town, thirty years ago, the British Navy's southeast of the Great Cavalry suddenly invaded, the two countries broke out a five-year war, and finally the British Navy's country drove out the invaders, near the border between the two countries, established a cold pass. The war destroyed the villages and towns in this area, and also caused many people to be displaced, and the homeless old and weak gathered together, waiting for death to come, and slowly, more and more people were formed, and Xinyu Town was formed.

"Why don't they go to stay in the cold gate?" Haolin wondered.

"When Lengsha Pass was first built, in order to prevent spies from infiltrating and making trouble, the people were not allowed to live, and although it was opened later, those old, weak, sick and disabled were separated from their wives in the war, lost their families, and lost their laborers. The swarthy man sighed: "The rise of the trade route between Huangyan City and Lengsha Pass has given the residents of Xinyu Town a meager income and attracted many people to come, but now it is declining, and young people who want to stay in this desolate place have gone to the city to work and buy houses." ”

"When you get to Xinyu Town later, don't run around, it's not safe in the town, try to get closer to the caravan, the caravan is guarded. The swarthy man leaned closer to Haolin and whispered.

"Why?

"Alone in this Gobi, a day's journey away from the Cold Pass, there are often scattered cavalry soldiers who come to harass them, and sometimes robbers will also visit, they mainly target the caravans resting in the town. The swarthy man's voice lowered.

"Don't the British army care?"

"Alas, how could the army send people to protect these old and sick people who are still struggling to survive. The swarthy man sighed with emotion.

The caravan accompanied the setting sun and entered the town of Xinyu.

Xinyu Town is about the same size as Xiaohe Village, the dilapidated houses are uneven, there are some sparse weeds along the foot of the wall, a few houses are smoking, and a few old people are sitting in front of the houses, enjoying the warmth of the last rays of the day.

The sun is shining, the thatched hut is broken, the cooking smoke is thin, and the dry grass is desolate. It was the first time for Haolin to see such a scene, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for his kindness.

The leader of the caravan took out some food and distributed it to the old people, as if it was the cost of settling in the town, Haolin also took out some silver taels and stuffed them into the old man, the old man shook his head and refused.

"You give it to them, they don't have a place to spend it, or food is more realistic. The swarthy man explained.

I found an uninhabited house near the caravan, and Haolin set up a tent, there was nothing in the house, there was dust everywhere, and the broken roof could only give people a little psychological comfort.

Late at night, Haolin was meditating, a faint cry for help came, Haolin opened his eyes, came to the outside of the house, "Help... Help, no... Don't—" A squeaky cry for help came from a room on the edge of town.

"Someone is shouting for help. Haolin said to the guards of the caravan not far away.

"You sleep with yours, and I advise you not to meddle in your affairs. The guard answered, and ignored him.

Haolin frowned, standing at the door and tangled, at this time, the voice of the cry for help disappeared, Haolin took a deep breath, and quickly ran along the sound.

Leaning quietly against the door, through the hazy moonlight, Haolin found that it was a girl, one person was holding the girl's head and covering his mouth, and the other person was facing him sideways, picking up the girl's clothes, and the girl's struggle did not work at all.

Haolin picked up a stone casually and quietly touched it, and the two of them were staring at the girl, not noticing that someone had come in. Haolin looked at the back of the head of the person who picked up the clothes, the person suddenly went limp, the one who covered his mouth obviously didn't expect anyone to dare to meddle in things, stunned for a moment, Haolin took an arrow step, with an angry cannon fist swinged, and went straight to the door, Haolin felt that his fist was faster than before, "Ah......", a scream, the man covered his face, snorted twice, and fell.

The girl on the ground obviously didn't expect someone to come to save her, she looked at Haolin in a daze, Haolin pointed at the girl, turned her back, and the girl also realized something, and quickly lowered her head to tidy up her clothes.

"Thank you Engong for the rescue!" the girl straightened her clothes and saluted.

"What's the situation?" the leader of the caravan outside the gate rushed over with a few guards. Looking at the two people on the ground, the caravan leader frowned: "What did you do?"

Haolin nodded.

One of the guards stepped forward and probed the two of them to snort: "Dead." ”

The leader of the caravan squinted his eyes and looked at Haolin coldly: "You are very powerful, you beat people to death with your bare hands?"

Haolin was also shocked, although he was very angry at the time, he would not beat people to death.

"Do you know who they are?" the caravan leader roared angrily, "They are soldiers of the Great Cavalry Country, you killed people, if they find out, how can we run on this road in the future!"

Hao Lin raised his head, looked directly at the leader of the caravan, and said angrily: "Then watch this girl be insulted?

"Do you know her? What are you all doing?" The caravan leader became even angrier: "Go by yourself, don't follow us, go now! ”

Haolin looked at the guards around him, and they all stared at him like enemies.

"Look, you're in trouble, if they find out, aren't we going to go up and fight hard?" said one of the guards as he spat at Haolin.

Haolin couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, what's wrong with this world, in his own country, he is still afraid of others, for his own interests, he would rather watch the girl be humiliated than rescued.

After going back to the house to pack his bags, Haolin looked at the girl who followed him: "You are a girl, how can you go out alone, it's very dangerous." ”

The girl thought that Haolin was blaming her, and her eyes were red: "I'm sorry, I've been involved in Engong." I was originally with my family, but I met a horse thief on the way, and my family asked me to hide and lure the horse thief away, and I was separated from my family, and my family didn't come back to look for me after waiting for a long time, so I came to Xinyu Town to wait for them by myself. When it comes to her family, the girl's eyes are full of worry.

Haolin watched the girl's tears rolling in her eyes, and hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you, I'm just curious to ask." Where are you going?"

"Scarborough Shoal. ”

"Then I can't take you with me, I'm going to Coldguard. ”

After a short silence, the girl was the first to speak: "Engong, you go first, I'll find a place to hide, and wait for the family to come to me." ”

Haolin thought about it, and he could only do this: "Then you have to hide yourself, don't be discovered by the bad guys again." ”

The girl nodded and saluted again: "Engong, the little girl Tang Yadie, I don't know Engongzun's surname yet." ”

"Pingshui meets, the effort of raising hands, not to talk about grace, in the next Wang Haolin. Haolin also returned the salute.

"If you go to Huangyan City in the future, you can go to the Tang Mansion to find me, so that Fluttershy can do her best as a landlord. ”

Haolin nodded and turned to leave.

"Engong take care all the way!" Tang Yadie reluctantly watched Haolin leave, there are not many such people now.

Tang Yadie's matter has brought a lot of impact to Haolin's heart, and there is nothing wrong with the people of the caravan being alone, but the words he said made Haolin see the other side of human nature, it is so ugly, the outside world is so cruel and ruthless, Haolin misses Xiaohe Village even more, as well as grandpa and Qian'er.

Tightening the clothes on his body and dragging his heavy thoughts, Haolin took a big stride and walked forward.

The Gobi under the moonlight is particularly shocking, the backlight is as black as an abyss, the face is gray and silver, and the low shrubs are like demons breaking out of the ground, revealing a bone-eroding cold everywhere, which has nothing to do with temperature, making people shudder in their hearts.
