It was nearly evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun stained half of the sky red, and several stars loomed in the fading light.

Endless mountains and a few rural cattle grazing lazily on the ground catch your eye. From time to time, the scalpers raised their heads and "mooed", as if urging their owners to hurry home.

Wang Lin looked up at the sun halfway into the western mountain, his face was calm, and there were no waves in his clear eyes. "Well, another day has passed, and it has been two years since I came to Umeng. I wonder if Sister Luo Lan will blame me if I leave now?" Wang Lin muttered to himself as he packed up his things and prepared to drive the cattle home.

Two years ago, Wang Lin was still a fifteen-year-old beggar, although he was young, his physical development was stronger than his peers. On his dirty face, his eyes were as clear as jewels, and his muscles bulged like adults under his rags. Against the backdrop of a height of about 1.6 meters, he looks like a little adult.

He didn't have a name, he was a man since he was conscious, and during a wandering, he helped a more literate old beggar, who gave him a name. He still remembers that the old beggar said at that time, "The world is the world of the people, all the royal city nobles, all the rich merchants and magnates have stood out from the ordinary people, and now the wine and meat in the inner Zhumen stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road; Who else cares about the poor people in this world? It would be great if there could be a rain of rain that would come to the world, not for everyone to be equal, but for every household to be worry-free. Child, I see the word "Wang" in the jade pendant on your chest, you will be called Wang Lin in the future. Since then, Wang Lin has a reputation for walking the world.

It was also an evening when the sun was sinking, and when Wang Lin returned to the dilapidated old house on the edge of Dawei County with a dog-beating stick, several panicked and hurried figures caught his attention.

Look closely, isn't that Li Hai, Wang Jie and Zhao Hu, who usually steal chickens and dogs in the city? . I saw the three of them carrying a sack together, and the sack changed its shape violently, and it was clearly a person with its contours!!

When Wang Lin saw the three of Li Hai, the three of them also saw him, and the three of them looked even more flustered at this time, and immediately accelerated their pace at the same time, intending to leave quickly.

"Stop!" Seeing that the sack was filled with a person, and these three people were not a good thing, Wang Lin let out a loud sigh.

The three of them stopped in response, and when they turned around, Li Hai had a fierce face, he was the eldest of the three, sixteen years old, and he was a head taller than Wang Lin. Wang Jie is also sixteen years old, but he is not tall, with a little panic in his fierceness, Zhao Hu is the youngest, only about fourteen years old, he was directly frightened, and his whole body trembled.

"Boy, don't be nosy, get out of here as soon as possible, or I'll kill you, believe it or not!" Lehi threatened. At the same time, he had already signaled to the two brothers with a look in his eyes, ready to make a move, since he was discovered, it had to be dealt with properly, this was his idea.

Wang Lin tightened the dog-beating stick in his hand, and said calmly, "I don't care if the three of you usually steal chickens and touch dogs, but you must be a person in the sack, right? No matter what you plan to do, it will not be a good thing, how can I let you get your wish today!"

"It's really a dog with a mouse and a nosy. Lehi said fiercely, "Brothers, teach him a good lesson." ”

"Damn, I'm so impatient. Wang Jie was not to be outdone. Saying that, the three of them put down the sack in their hands and rushed up to punch Wang Lin several times. Wang Lin swept the three of them back with the dog-beating stick in his hand, and then said, "Although this place is dilapidated, there are also a few families nearby, if you don't leave, don't blame me for yelling." ”

At this time, the three of them had surrounded Wang Lin in the middle, and they couldn't help frowning when they heard the words, this place is really not far from the city, and they haven't figured out the nearby situation, if they really call people, then the three of them really can't eat and walk around.

The youngest Zhao Hu had a look of fear on his face, "Big brother, let's go, if someone catches us, it's over." ”

"Shut up, you coward!" said Lehi. Wang Jie also said, "What are you afraid of, few people come here, and he has to call to see if he can call out!"

After speaking, Li Hai and Wang Jie shot directly, Wang Jie hugged Wang Lin from behind, and Li Hai punched Wang Lin in the abdomen from the front. Wang Lin was hugged by Wang Jie, and when he saw Li Hai coming, he had to struggle and kick Li Hai with his foot. Zhao Hu looked around on the side, for fear that someone would come over.

When Li Hai grabbed Wang Lin's dog beating stick in his hand and fought with Wang Lin, Wang Lin saw the situation and kicked Li Hai's stall, and then lifted the dog beating stick in his hand and lifted it up forcefully, whipping it directly at Li Hai's chin. Lehi was directly beaten back a few steps, covering his crotch and chin with his hands, his expression painful and hideous!

After repelling Li Hai, Wang Lin directly kicked the ground and fell backwards, pressing Wang Jie behind him, and raised his right hand to hit Wang Jie's head and neck with his elbow. Wang Jie immediately had a nosebleed and screamed in pain, but to no avail, he was unable to restrain Wang Lin after a few strokes, and was broken away by Wang Lin.

Li Hai saw that Wang Lin had already stood up and stood up, but Wang Jie fell to the ground in pain, so he grabbed the fist-sized stone beside him casually, and beckoned Zhao Hu to "What are you doing standing stupidly, do it!" Zhao Hu looked frightened, and did not dare to move in Wang Lin's equally fierce gaze.

"Someone, someone's kidnapping! Someone's coming, someone's trafficker!" Wang Lin shouted loudly when he saw that Zhao Hu didn't dare to make a move and Li Hai was about to do it again.

As soon as he heard Wang Lin shouting, Zhao Hu immediately walked to Li Hai's side and said anxiously, "Boss, let's go, it's too late to drag it on, I saw someone coming just now!"

As soon as Lehi heard that someone was coming, he immediately went down with fierce energy, "Made, I wouldn't have gone here if I had known!" In fact, there was no one, but Zhao Hu was afraid in his heart and said that several adults were coming from a distance.

"Lucky for you, I won't kill you next time I meet you!" Li Hai said, threw the stone in his hand hard, and Wang Lin went with Zhao Hu to pull up Wang Jie, who was still on the ground, and left.

Wang Lin saw them leave, and his heart suddenly felt a lot easier, although he temporarily gained the upper hand, but after a long time, he would definitely lose himself. So seeing them go away, Wang Lin opened the sack.

I saw that in the sack was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, fair and lovely, and the broken hair between the temples was not very messy, and the original neat hairstyle could be vaguely seen. A pale pink and red floral skirt sets off the beautiful and childish melon seed face. There were still a few lines of undried tears in the corners of his eyes, a ball of sackcloth stuffed in his mouth, and he could not speak, and his hands were bound behind him with ropes. It looks very pitiful.

Wang Lin took off the sackcloth in her mouth and untied the rope for her, and only then did she know that this beautiful little girl was called Su Luolan, a child of the Su family, a big family in Xiawumeng Township, Dawei County. He followed his father's caravan into the city to sell souvenirs, but was robbed by robbers on the way home, and accidentally separated from the caravan during the struggle, and was later seen by Lehi and the others. Then she was arrested and put in a sack for hours, not knowing what they were going to do with her.

Wang Lin didn't dare to take her to the place where she was scattered, so he had to take her into the city and wait for her father to come back to look for her.

But no one came to look for it for a few days, and the few silver taels that Su Luolan had brought with him were almost spent. Wang Lin decided to send her home.

So he asked Su Luolan to change clothes with a little girl in the city, wiped some dust on her face, and completely messed up her hair. After buying a big bag of steamed buns with the money obtained from the previous begging and Su Luolan's remaining silver taels, he sent Su Luolan home.

Because there is no money, so you can only rely on walking, and no one will fight the idea of two dirty little beggars along the way. After a long journey of more than ten days, Su Luolan was finally sent back to Wumeng Township.

Originally, Wang Lin thought that she would continue to wander, but Su Luolan begged her father to accept Wang Lin as his adopted son, let him stay at home and study with his brothers, and wait for Wang Lin to grow up before leaving.

Due to his daughter's insistence, Su Jin, who originally planned to repay Wang Lin with money, also gladly accepted Wang Lin as his adopted son. And let Wang Lin and the children at home read and write under the guidance of Mr. Jia.

Since then, Wang Lin has stopped wandering in Wumeng Township, although his father-in-law and sister Luolan at home are very good to him. It's just that the stepmother and eldest brother don't treat themselves very well, but it's not good to get something for nothing, and I'm no longer the little beggar who eats hundreds of meals. So Wang Lin drove out more than a dozen cows of the Su family every day, and never looked for a shepherd boy again.

Although life is stable and calm, Wang Lin does not like this kind of life. It's like home, but it's not home. It's just that Su Luolan has really treated him as an elder brother in the past two years, and he also loves this sister very much, and even gradually has more things as he gets older, so he wants to leave but never speaks.

"Hey......" Thinking of this, Wang Lin sighed again, put on the basket he had packed earlier, and drove the cow to Su's house with the sunset on his back.
