The next day

Chen Yue got up early and stood in front of the window to look at the city of Lane this morning.

Looking at the crowd coming and going on the street, Chen Yue looked at it for a while and went downstairs.

Chen Yue did not blend into the atmosphere of Lane City, walking on the street, many people greeted him, and Chen Yue returned the salute one by one out of politeness.

But, no matter what, Chen Yue still felt that he was a little out of place in this town.

Walking and walking, Chen Yue walked out of Lane City and came to the planting field on the outskirts of the city.

The peasants are industrious, they get up early in the morning, then go to work in the fields, and when the temperature rises, they go home to make breakfast.

Then he chatted with others on the streets, and when the temperature cooled down in the afternoon, he continued to come out to work.

Chen Yue walked on the ridge of the field, and from time to time he could see scenery that could not be seen elsewhere, for example: when an alchemist in silk clothes saw that someone was very tired, he would personally go to the field to help the farmer with his work, and let him sit aside and rest.

The alchemist, while working with the peasants, did farm work, walked over and listened, and said nothing more than the shortcomings of the parents, as well as opinions on the improvement of farm tools, and so on.

Chen Yue continued to walk, watching the "repeated" scenes until an alchemist who had just finished his work stopped him.

"Hey!"

Chen Yue looked for prestige and saw an alchemist with mud on his clothes calling him.

"Yes, it's just to call you, you come over for a moment. The man smiled at Chen Yue, revealing a row of neat, white teeth.

"What's the matter?" Chen Yue walked over and asked.

"Give. The man threw a white grass root to Chen Yue, and Chen Yue subconsciously caught it.

"This thing can be eaten, sweet, although it does not quench thirst, but it quenches cravings. Seeing Chen Yue holding the white grass root in a daze, the man explained with a smile, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Seeing this, Chen Yue did the same, putting the white grass root into his mouth and chewing.

At first, there was nothing outstanding about it, and it was even a little bitter and astringent, but as I chewed more often, the sweetness of the grass gradually came out.

"How's it going?" the man looked at Chen Yue and smiled with a half-squinted eye.

"Not bad, a little bitter at first, and then gradually sweeter. Chen Yue said, and then sat on the ridge and sat with him.

"Mmmm, that's what this thing is, just get used to it. The man smiled: "Life, in fact, is almost like this." ”

"That's right. The man smiled at Chen Yue and said, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Chen Yue. ”

"Good line to meet you. Yifan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of shaking hands.

"Me too. Chen Yue stretched out his hand and shook it with him.

"What do you think of Lane City?" Yifan said with a smile, "When I came to Lane City, it was almost your reaction. ”

"It's obviously the eight main cities, but its reputation is not obvious, but the people inside can't be seen outside. ”

"Well, Ryan City, it's very different, indeed. Chen Yue nodded.

"I've been here for 10 years, and at first, like this grassroots. Yifan took out the grass root in his mouth, "At that time, like others, I helped others from time to time and did farm work, but where did I do it at that time? I was sore every time I did it halfway through, and there were a few times when I was kind enough to help but did bad things." ”

"But fortunately, the people of Lane City are always so kind, you don't understand, they have the patience to teach you. The people here are very kind. ”

"yes, it's very kind. Chen Yue nodded and said, "It's the first time I've seen such a magical place, and I feel that this is not the world, but a legendary holy place, a holy place that can make people forget all their troubles." ”

"Haha!" Yifan laughed and looked at Chen Yue: "I think so too." Then he asked, "How long are you going to stay here?"

"Me?" Chen Yue didn't think about how long he was going to stay here, he originally planned to leave directly after passing the exam, but because he didn't want to disappoint Mr. Crow, he stayed.

"I don't know......" Chen Yue lowered his head, if he had a choice, he didn't want to leave here at all, with children, wife and daughter, he had been living in this land, without so many intrigues and hypocritical faces.

However, he couldn't do it, the world made him lose too much!

"You've experienced something bad, haven't you?" Yifan looked at Chen Yue's appearance.

"Yes, who hasn't experienced painful things?" Chen Yue raised his head, looked at him and asked, "How do you know?"

"Hehe, your hair has turned gray, and people who have not experienced great sorrow and suffering will not have such a hair color at this age. Yifan smiled, and then lay on the ridge, looking at the blue sky and white clouds.

"What is the purpose of your stay here?" Yifan glanced at Chen Yue curiously.

"Solve a problem, right?" Chen Yue wasn't sure.

"What's the question?" Yifan became interested all of a sudden, "Is it convenient to say?"

"It's nothing, it's just how to turn a puppet who can only fight into a useful person. Chen Yue had a bitter face, he didn't know what a puppet born for war could do besides fighting?

Not to mention that there is no road here, just the appearance of a puppet, it would be good not to scare the grandmother to death.

"Huh. Yifan chuckled: "Turning a full-time combat puppet into something useful to people, this is useful, and if you don't upgrade the combat aspect, this question will only be raised by Mr. Crowe, haha." ”

"What do you think about this?" Chen Yue glanced at Yifan expressionlessly.

"I know the answer. Yifan smiled: "But I can't tell you directly, you have to comprehend it yourself." ”

"Huh. In this regard, Chen Yue repaid the word hehe to express his disdain.

"Don't believe it. Yifan looked at the sky and showed a smile that he didn't believe himself.

"This is Uncle Crowe's test for you, you have to feel it with your own heart and see the world. ”

"Huh. Chen Yue also lay down and said with a smile: "If I didn't know you, I would almost believe it." ”

"When did you know me? I remember I hadn't seen you before. Yifan turned around, looking curious.

"Just now. Chen Yue smiled slyly, then looked at the blue sky, and asked the same question: "When are you going to leave Ryan City?"

"Leave......" Yifan was asked when he was leaving, and suddenly he was in a trance, and before he knew it, he had been in Lane for ten years.

"I don't know. Yifan said with a smile: "It should be the moment when others admit it, when Crowe recognizes me, I will leave here whenever I am, after all, when he admits me, I should have nothing to learn......"

"Haha, that strange uncle's admission?" Chen Yue said with a smile. "You might as well wait for the rooster to lay duck eggs, and the blind man will see the deaf hear the voice and speak dumbly. ”

"Actually, Uncle Crowe is pretty good. Yifan heard that Chen Yue didn't seem to be very friendly to Crow, and said weakly.

"No, I didn't say Mr. Crowe was bad. Chen Yue explained to him: "It's just a ...... way to ask the puppets to give up full-time combat and then serve the people."

"Don't dare to compliment ......"

"You don't know the meaning of Uncle Crowe asking you this question, and when you do, you won't think of him like that. ”

"When will I understand? Chen Yue rolled his eyes, and he was not a riddle guesser.

Actually, you've already seen the answer. Yifan winked at Chen Yue.

"Huh?" Chen Yue looked at Yifan and muttered, "Have you seen the answer?" and then carefully recalled what he had seen and heard.

"Oops, don't think about it, don't think about it. Yifan grabbed Chen Yue and shook it, and said, "Uncle Crowe raised the question in order to test you, you can't let me leak the answer so easily." ”

"Alright, alright, don't shake it. Chen Yue took Yifan's hand away, blinked, and said, "I already know the answer." ”

"Ahh Yifan covered his forehead and looked remorseful: "I shouldn't have said it so bluntly! ”

"Hey, hey. Chen Yue smiled: "Don't underestimate me, you just let me understand a few days in advance." ”

"A few days early would cost you a few more days in Lane City. Yifan said with a bitter face: "My own understanding and others remind me, although the effect is similar, but at the same time it is also much worse, many things, only I have experienced it to understand." ”

"Let Uncle Crowe know that I'm going to be trained again. Yifan sighed, sat up, and said to Chen Yue, "I'm going to help, are you going together?"

Chen Yue shook his head, "Let's go together in a few days, now I want to walk around and see the environment here." ”

"Okay. Yifan nodded and said, "If you want to experience it, come to me." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Then I'm leaving. After finishing speaking, Yifan went to help others with agriculture.

Chen Yue looked at Yifan, who was gradually moving away, and smiled, the answer is right in front of him.

Then, Chen Yue stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and walked around the vicinity of Lane City to see the different scenery of the outside world.

Lane City did not disappoint Chen Yue, and sure enough, he saw many scenery that could not be seen elsewhere.

Although there are no majestic waterfalls or steep mountain peaks to see, the atmosphere and environment inside are not found in the outside world.

The same view, seen in Lane City, and seen in other places, gives a completely different feeling.

After walking around Lane City, Chen Yue returned to the city, first observed the pedestrians coming and going in Lane City, and then went to see the very beautiful Lane sunset.

The sunset in Ryan City is really good, but when Chen Yue looks at such a beautiful sunset alone, there is always a sadness in his heart.

He remembered that Dugu Naga liked to watch the sunset very much, and as for the sunset, she was too lazy, haha......

Maybe this is the cheapness of human beings, who don't cherish it when they have it, and don't regret it until they lose it.

After putting aside the distractions, Chen Yue will not come here to watch the sunset, and will not come back in the future.

In the following days, Chen Yue experienced the daily life of an alchemist in Ryan City: helping those who were weaker than himself, whether they were farmers or others, and helping others when they needed them.

Then, when he was in the Alchemy Society, he fought with others because of a certain point of view. When it was time to rest, the group went out to drink and eat together.

In this way, Chen Yue stayed in Lane City for seven days, and on the seventh day, Chen Yue said goodbye to Crow.

"You've got the answer. Crowe sighed.

"Hmm. Chen Yue nodded, walked over to his work, and reforged the spear in his hand into a hoe, and the heavy shield into a dustpan.

"That's fine. Chen Yue looked at his work and smiled.

"Well, indeed, you can barely get through......" Crowe said in a voice that only he could hear.

"Mr. Crow, can you tell me about Yifan?"

"He's nothing, just a little kid who doesn't grow up. Crow originally wanted to prevaricate with some casual words, but seeing Chen Yue's smiling expression, he had to compromise.

"He was the prince of the Duchy of Gris, the most outstanding one, but he was kind-hearted, unwilling and unwilling to war, and therefore disliked by his father, and not only disliked, but also did not recognize his excellence, and considered him a mere waste. ”

Therefore, he knew that he was disgusted in the Duchy of Gris, so he came out alone, and this time he left, it was more than forty years. ”

"More than forty years?" Chen Yue was slightly surprised, Yifan said that he had only been in Lane City for ten years.

"Huh. Crow saw what Chen Yue was thinking, and said, "He didn't come to Ryan City as soon as he came out. ”

"Oooh. Chen Yue nodded, indeed a little silly, he.

"He's a nice guy and has helped a lot of Scarlet Populace, but he's been wandering, and only Lane City has kept him for ten years. ”

"Maybe ......" Crowe looked at the stars in the sky and said slowly, "This is another way for him to atone for his sins......

"Then, Mr. Crowe, what is the recognition he is talking about?" Chen Yue remembered that Yifan said that the purpose of being in Lane City was to be recognized by the person in front of him?

"Huh. Upon hearing this, Crowe smiled and said, "This is his means of evasion, throwing the pot on me, haha." After laughing for a while, Crowe explained to Chen Yue the admission in Yifan's heart.

"The confession he wants is not my confession, but his own confession to himself. Crowe said.

"Your own admission?" Chen Yue felt even more confused as she listened.

"Yes, he himself admits to himself. Crowe nodded and said, "Because he was disliked by his father since he was a child, he thought from the bottom of his heart that it was his fault, that he was too stupid and not good enough." ”

In fact, he still refuses to admit that it is because he and his father's temperament are not compatible. ”

"That's ......" Chen Yue suddenly realized, and then asked, "Is there any way to help him?"

"No, this is a knot in his heart, and he must untie it himself. Crowe shook his head lightly and said, "It's not as simple as a problem, no one can help him, only on his own." ”

Chen Yue scratched his head embarrassedly, Crowe stayed in the Alchemist Association every day, but he seemed to know everything.

"Get out of here. Crowe smiled and said, "There's someone waiting for you outside." After saying that, he smiled meaninglessly.

"Wait for me?" Chen Yue frowned and thought, it seemed that no one would wait for him except the teacher...... However, it is impossible for the teacher to wait for himself in the middle of the night......

"Instead of guessing here, let's go out and have a look. Crow looked at Chen Yue and smiled: "I know you have wanted to go out a long time ago, but you are just greedy for the comfort here, but you are afraid that it will be too comfortable and cause yourself to ......."

"No matter what you've been through, I hope your time in Lane City will be a valuable asset to you. After finishing speaking, Crowe patted Chen Yue on the shoulder.

"Good. Chen Yue nodded, got up and prepared to leave.

"Goodbye, Mr. Crowe. ”

"Goodbye. ”

Crowe looked at Chen Yue's smaller and smaller back and smiled, hoping that he wouldn't be blinded by hatred...... After all, good and bad depend on each other......

Forget it, what do you do with all that?, Crowe smiled self-deprecatingly, there was still a lot of work to be done at home.

The old sister is about to tear down the house...... Crowe glanced up at the sky, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Chen Yue didn't walk fast, he wanted to see this Lane City slowly and for the last time.

When Chen Yue walked out of Lane City, he let out a sigh of relief and stretched out his arm.

"What's the matter? ”

Chen Yue suddenly heard a familiar voice, turned to look, and saw the guards he had encountered for the first time here.

"yes, I've been here for a while, and there's a lot to do outside. Chen Yue walked over and said with a smile.

This person gave Chen Yue a very good impression, starting with fruit wine, so let's end with fruit wine.

Thinking of this, Chen Yue took out another bag of fruit wine, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Please drink it again." ”

"This feeling is good!" The man happily took the fruit wine in Chen Yue's hand, then thought for a while, also took out a pot of wine, and handed it to Chen Yue: "The same, brew it yourself, keep it as a souvenir." ”

"Good. Chen Yue took the flask.

"Have a nice trip, goodbye. ”

"Thank you, goodbye. ”

After walking for a quarter of an hour, Chen Yue threw the wine jug in his hand into the storage ring, and then looked around expectantly, except for the bushes and stones, there was not even a ghost.

"Haha, Mr. Crowe, you've made mistakes sometimes. Chen Yue looked up to the sky and laughed.

Also, he has no relatives and no reason in the demon god world alone, and he doesn't even have an enemy on the surface, so how can anyone wait for him?

Before Chen Yue could take a few steps, he suddenly felt that there was someone in front of him, and when he raised his head, the look of surprise and shock kept repeating on Chen Yue's face.

"Coming out?" The voice didn't carry any emotion, and Chen Yue didn't know what her attitude was......

"Hmm......" Chen Yue nodded, his body turned slightly to the side, and he immediately ran away if the situation was not right.

"Want to run?" Chen Yue's little action was noticed at once, and in an instant, Tina appeared beside Chen Yue.

That's right, the person waiting for Chen Yue outside was Tina who was picked up by him at the beginning.

Tina waited outside for a long time before waiting for Chen Yue out, as for why she didn't enter Ryan City, because she didn't dare to ......

"No ......"

Chen made an innocent look.

"Run!"

"No ......"

"Why don't you run? How boring, the prey is so frightened. ”

"I don't dare ......"

Then, Chen Yue let out an earth-shattering scream.

Crowe seemed to notice something, and smiled: "It's good to be young, so energetic." After finishing speaking, he shook his head slightly, as if he was lamenting that he was old.
