Volume 1 The Caged Bird Chapter 19 Dry Bones (5) Well No. 13
On the opposite side of the cellar is an old castle, built with blocks of antique blue stone bricks.
The old castle made it look lifeless, and no one noticed it during the day, and at night, the desperate people occasionally raised their heads to notice the flames burning in the tower.
In fact, everything around here is lifeless, and very few people pass by. This is not the inner wall where pleasure can be enjoyed, this is the Northern Plains, at least a hundred kilometers away from the northernmost border.
Only Rangers, Armies, or Hunters of Expeditions haunt the area.
Of course, there are other things that are not here to lodge, but to plunder.
At night, the wind and snow were blowing.
Suddenly, a bright fire in the distance rushed into the sky, and then a huge explosion came like a tidal wave.
"What, what's going on?
The firelight reflected the young faces, and they all looked in disbelief at the distant firelight.
"All the squads on duty got on their horses at once, we can't let those guys get near that place. ”
A middle-aged man with slightly gray sideburns immediately appeared on the observation deck at the top, and under the cold wind, the lines of his face were as clear as woodcuts, and the broad bridge of his nose was the result of long-term survival in the cold northern plains.
The Second Ranger of the Northern Plains, who has been wandering in the barren mountains and snowfields for a long time, provides different types of "help" to various friends who come from afar
Yi Mu is just one of the cavalrymen, entrusted by the old man to open the eyes of these little ghosts who seem to be interesting.
"Senior Yi, this day ......" They all wondered if this weather needed to do this, who still ran out to hang out on a snowy night, isn't this a problem with their brains.
"Don't let up, those guys don't know what's daytime and what's night. ”
The men asked, but they all jumped on their horses. Although Yi Mu said this, he didn't worry about them.
Many things that ordinary people rarely experience have become habits for him.
He prefers the kid named Qi Shan, this guy has the same temperament as him, and the two are more compatible. But on the contrary, it seems that Val's old thing let Lugar's boy come out, he doesn't like this man very much, he is rigid and inflexible, and his cold and hard face is very similar to the gentleman invited by the family when he was a child. He prefers a refreshing life like this, not studying.
As soon as Luga Kristel stepped forward, those little ghosts suddenly became well-behaved, who the hell is the boss?
This upset him, and he decided to go out on patrol tonight, although the old man Vargana told him to stay in the castle to "preside over the whole situation".
"Hey. He got on his horse, and immediately a voice next to him said coldly, "You'd better stay here, we can't all leave." ”
"Boy!" Yi Mu stared at him unpleasantly, "Your boss, or my boss?" didn't that old thing in Varga teach you what politeness is?
Lu Jia glanced at him lightly, turned to his members and said, "You just listen to the orders of the Yi cavalry, and if you encounter anything, just run to him." ”
"What do you mean, kid?"
"Respect for seniors. ”
"It's boring, it's boring. ”
Yi Mu shook his head, and as his gesture fell, the heavy stone gate slowly rose, and a large group of people and horses poured into the blizzard.
"One, two, three, four, southeast, northwest, five, six, southeast to northwest, seven-eight, southwest to northeast, nine, follow me, pay attention to the signal, the wind is too strong, don't go too far. ”
The black team immediately divided into nine groups of three or four, and gradually unfolded their formation as they marched.
In fact, in this kind of bad weather, the probability of those things coming out to move is very small, and even if the explosion may attract their attention, it is always comfortable to nest in the nest.
Do they have the word lazy? Or because they know that bad weather is not suitable for action!
He had never figured out these things, they were inherently stronger than humans, and if they were also intelligent, would humans still exist?
He lit a cigarette and tossed the cigarette case to the few people who were watching him, and politely said, "Try it!"
"No, no smoking. ”
The boy who received the cigarette case was flattered and gave it back to him.
"If you don't smoke it, it's going to be cold. ”
He said with a cigarette butt in his mouth, accidentally showing off his teeth covered in smoke and dirt. "Young people can't be too rigid, they can learn anything. How can you be romantic if you don't smoke or drink? How can any woman look at it?"
These kids, who are usually regarded as party figures in the school yard, are now just nodding their heads and saying yes, saying yes, whatever their predecessors say is right, and we will always remember it in our hearts.
"No, no, no. Yi Mu looked at them, still a little dissatisfied.
"It must be that the boss of your club has too strict rules, and I will help you persuade him when you go back, but you have to fight for it yourself, if you don't open your mind, it's useless for me to just talk about it. ”
Yi Mu shook his head secretly, looking at a few children who had not grown up, and the cigarette in his mouth was also tasteless.
Hopefully I'll meet some big guys tonight.

The wind and snow are silent.
Quiet Prometheus Hall, only the sound of creaking wood.
Ever since Eva had her helper, Diana has rarely been seen here, and all the puppet repairs are left to her.
No one taught it, and Diana didn't help it, but it still fixed the puppet that couldn't be repaired.
Hoigre held out his hand to it, but Eva ducked into the corner like a beloved toy, and seemed to know that the man was not very kind.
No sooner had it moved away from the man than a large black shadow flew towards it.
Parts were scattered all over the place.
Standing in front of the window, a man wrapped in a white robe, the scepter in his hand paused.
It seems that he also realized that he had done something wrong, and he bowed and apologized to the man very politely.
"Don't blame me for being late at night. ”
"Let's just say something. ”
"Then I'll get straight to the point. ”
"You've probably heard the rumors out there, and we need your help. All previous restrictions on the activities of hunters within the walls have now been lifted. This is a confidential letter of dissolution of the treaty. ”
He respectfully presented a long, delicately arranged box, and Hoygray pushed it back to the white-robed man.
"There is no need to terminate it, after it is completed, the treaty will still be in force, just give us some money to spend. ”
The white-robed man froze for a moment, and finally took the wooden box back.
"It's hard to stay for a few days because it's snowy and cold. ”
Hoygray didn't mean to invite.
"No, farewell!"
The white-robed man bowed slightly, turned around and jumped into the snow.
Come and go fast. Hoygray wondered when it had become so easy to break into.
With a gesture of his hand, a messenger puppet fell into his hand.
"Mystery Hunter?"
He rolled up the paper and put it in a tin box.
"Arrange for the executor, go to investigate. ”
There was an immediate noise in the darkness, and someone jumped out of the snow and headed for another building.
"Why don't you take that thing. ”
"We shouldn't have been mindful of this stuff. ”
"I know what you mean, but it's better to have nothing than to have. ”
"You don't understand humans so much. ”
A wooden hand picked up a head.
"At the very least, you should have left him behind. ”
Hoigre nodded, agreeing with it.
To be done
