In order to deal with the unknown danger, Xia Ming prepared two short knives, about ten inches, and the craftsmanship was rough. But in his opinion, it is enough to be able to fight. Rand, on the other hand, was a strange thing, like a kitchen knife. But it's okay to fight, maybe the maid is just a kind reminder that it's already cold at night.

Just as Xia Ming was about to blow it out, the puppet bird flew in through the small door of the ventilation window, and it fell into Xia Ming's hand. Xia Ming looked at its claws, but didn't see the reply from its predecessors, not even the bamboo pipe that stored the stationery.

While he was wondering, there was a knock on the blocked wooden door.

The knock on the door was casual, like a good friend coming to the door.

The water-covered gate valve was already covered with a few ice marks, and Xia Ming, who couldn't bear to destroy it, could only ask, "Who?"

"Me. ”

Xia Ming was stunned for a moment, Rand came over, glanced at Xia Ming's eyes, and said, "The boss is the boss." ”

Xia Ming stuck the short knife into the belt of his waist and flipped out of the ventilation duct on the wooden wall.

"Do you have any instructions from the seniors that Miss Mu wants to convey in person?"

Xia Ming held his waist, this kind of clothes were sloppy and very inconvenient.

"Yes, those two little girls said, tell you how close and intimate that girl is. Mu Shiyu said coldly.

"What girl?" Xia Ming said, "Those two little girls really said that? It's really two little girls, I really doubt that they can become executors, seniors are going through the back door." ”

"Why didn't you keep an eye on them, in case they ran out?"

"Do you think I can stop them?" Mu Siyu said, remembering that slap, which was not something that just anyone could do.

She stared at the closed wooden door and asked suspiciously, "What are you and Rand doing?"

Xia Ming thought about it, at night, children generally don't run around, so he didn't care too much. He laughed dryly and said, "We suspect that it is not safe at night, and it is necessary to take precautions." ”

Mu Shiyu said: "I'm just worried about this, as the first master of the rookie squad, I want to ensure that you can't die if I die." ”

"Rookie squad? Xia Ming asked.

Mu Shiyu did not answer him, she jumped on the roof of the wooden house and sat on the eaves. Under the starlight, the gaze is deep. This is the first time Xia Ming has seen someone who can jump so high without using a motorized device. He almost dropped his jaw in shock, and climbed up with difficulty along the ventilation window, the eaves, and the place where he could grasp the hand.

"Master. Xia Ming sat on the eaves panting, but the chill of the night was dispelled a little.

Under the hat, Mu Shiyu glared at him and said, "What are you doing here?"

Xia Ming said, "Then what are you doing here?"

Mu Shiyu said: "I will stay here tonight to ensure that you can see the sun tomorrow." ”

Under the look of combat uniform, Xia Ming saw two exposed scabbards. Hunters always keep their hunting knives by their side, just as knights always carry heavy swords, for them it is their life.

"Do you think we're unarmed?" Xia Ming said proudly, "even if we don't have weapons with us, we don't sit still. ”

Xia Ming put his hands behind his back, and then proudly showed off his masterpiece.

A gust of wind blew, Mu Siyu sat on the other side of the eaves, she squeezed the short knife in her hand, "Made of mud?" With a little force, the soil fell one after another.

Xia Ming was anxious, and Mu Shiyu said: "Using water to freeze at night, you are quite good at thinking about it, and sure enough, the territory is the first." ”

She stood up and snatched the other one from Xia Ming's hand. She said disgustedly, "Although the idea is good, but the process is too inferior." ”

She picked up the dirt that had fallen on the eaves, and in front of the sheepfold there was a platform made of stone and bricks, where there was a pressurized water pump. The water is bubbling from the ground, and it is rumored that there is a coal mountain buried in Sanam's ground, and the coal fire in the ground is constant all year round, so it rarely snows in Sanam.

However, Sanan's night was not an ordinary night, the hot water had just come up from the ground, and it was cool in less than half a minute.

Xia Ming saw her roll up her sleeves and looked interested: "You go and help me find some materials." ”

She aroused Xia Ming, and it seemed that she couldn't tell who the boss was.

Xia Ming ran around with a shovel, he wanted to find the soil that was free of impurities and had uniform particles, otherwise he would be disliked. However, Xia Ming didn't tell her that the shovel was used by them for something more meaningful at noon.

"What are you doing here?" Xia Ming couldn't help but ask when he saw her pinching and pinching.

"It's not enough, you go find some more dirt. ”

"How much more?" Xia Ming asked, holding the shovel on his shoulder.

"One little is enough. ”

Xia Ming ran back angrily again, and was about to sit down, when he said, "It's not enough, you go and get some more." ”

Xia Ming picked up the shovel again and left without saying anything...

"It's a little bit closer.."

"It's a little bit closer.."

...

Before they knew it, it was late at night, but none of them felt the passage of time, one was immersed in their own world, and the other was called back and forth as a servant.

The ground had been dug by Xia Ming a one-meter-deep pit, and he was panting with his shovel, this time it was finally fine.

Mu Siyu carried Xia Ming on his back, although he didn't say that he was not allowed to peek, but Xia Ming still asked honestly: "First master, do you want to create a peerless treasure knife?"

Mu Siyu jumped away from him, revealing an elegant white swan with flapping wings behind him. It's actually black, because the earth is black, and the starlight is dim, but it makes people subconsciously think that it's actually a white swan, flapping its wings to the sky, yearning for freedom and unrestrainedness.

Xia Ming was stunned and speechless, he didn't want this person to be proud, because she was still sarcastic about his rough handiwork before.

"I don't want to be honest, it's too ... How could you.. You.."

When Xia Ming was about to say something, she saw Mu Siyu wipe the hair scattered on her forehead with her mud-stained hand, and instantly a mud mark stuck to it, but she probably didn't notice it at all, she was indulging in her work.

Disturbed by Xia Ming, she immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Ming quickly closed his mouth.

The night was dark, and the girl might be thinking about something.

"Sell matches, sell matches, which kind adult buys our matches, a box only costs one Ke Yuan... Selling matches..."

Late at night, on a deserted street corner, two sisters squatted on the ground, snuggling up to each other.

"It's so cold, sister. Yao said, "Why is it so cold?"

"Don't worry about my sister. Lin said, "Let's struck a match." ”

She trembled and took a box of matches from the basket and slid it carefully, the flames illuminating their faces.

"How's that sister, are you feeling better?" Lin said.

When they were in the Hunter Academy, Qi Shan took care of them, and they would never let them fall, starve, or freeze.

"Sister, I'm missing Xiaoshan a little bit. Lin said, "Why don't we go back?" ”

"No, we must help our mother save enough for the lucky goddess... Buy matches..."

"But it can't be sold here, there's no one here. ”

"Who said there is no one here, you are a human being, and I am also a human being. ”

"Hill says we're monsters. ”

"You also believe Xiaoshan's words, they all say that men's mouths are deceitful ghosts, how can you believe other people's words at will. If you don't believe me, you can take a knife and scratch your own hand to see if your knife will rust."

"But it's so cold." Yao hugged Lin tightly, and they were wearing the dresses that Xia Ming had seen that day.

“.. Let me strike another match. Lin said.

Lin was about to take out a match when four or five people with their faces half-covered came over. The one in the middle carried a lamp bottle, and his clothes were dirty and torn, just like a beggar.

"Guest, do you want to buy matches? Lin stepped forward excitedly and said.

The kei is the smallest unit of the territorial currency, and two kei is equal to one baht.

Looking at the two little girls, the man in the middle had to lean down and hand the lamp bottle to the other person, and he poured out a palm of coins from a black bag, all in the face value of one baht. He handed a coin to the taller girl and asked, "Little sister."

"Don't call me little sister. ”

“.. Little sister. The man asked, "What is this place? If you can tell me which direction the nearest pasture to the wall is, it's all yours." ”

He turned the coin upside down from one hand and back again, the coins clinking with a crisp clanging sound.

"I don't want this kind of money... I just have to. I only sell one box... You have to pay with just the right amount of money. Lin threw the money back.

"Then you tell me that the road should always be okay?" said the man.

"No, one sentence for one dollar. Lin said.

The man's face was embarrassed, you must know that this kind of unit-level currency is rarely used in normal times, although it is the least valuable, but he can't take it out at the moment.

He stood up and looked at the rest of the group, who all shook their heads.

He coughed suddenly, and one of them hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Big brother, are you okay?" Why don't we find an inn to rest for the night?"

"I'm fine. The man refused his support, "That elder's strength is not trivial, I took two slaps from him, and I was slightly injured." ”

"Sanan has very few inns, and I don't know where to look. A feminine voice said.

Several of them looked at the girl around the corner again.

Lin said, "If you can get the money, I can take you there." ”

The man in the middle said, "Why do you want that kind of money?"

"Anyway, if you can't take it out, please leave. ”

"Sister, you can see how they are beggars by looking at their dress, how can they have money, let's go back. ”

"But they're really rich," Lin said. ”

Yao said, "Why can't you take out money if you have money? Isn't this a contradiction?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, one of them squatted down, pulled down her scarf, and showed a beautiful face, she held the hands of the two girls and said, "It's not that we don't have money, it's just that we don't have the kind of money you said." She handed them a black money bag, "Give it to you, take us to the place where we live, and we promise to find it and return it to you, and if we break our promise, we will be at your disposal." ”

The rest of the people also took out their money bags one after another.

"For the sake of your sincerity, sister..."Lin Idiot looked at the man and said, "We decided to help you." ”

"Sister be careful, beautiful girls are the easiest to lie. Yao curled up and said.

The man took off his coat and put it on Yao, "Little sister and sister, I will be proud if you praise me like this." ”

Yao grabbed her coat embarrassedly and said, "Sister, you must not lie." ”

The man rubbed Yao's head, which made Yao almost want to cry because she remembered her mother.

Lin left with them.

The man asked, "Why do you have to ask for that kind of coin?" ”

Yao said, "Because only that kind of coin has the image of the goddess printed on it, we only need this pattern." ”

"Why does it have to be this pattern. ”

"Because Brother Xiaoshan said that this pattern represents the kindness of all the poor people in the territorial world, she can bring good luck, as long as she accumulates enough kindness, she can wake up her mother. ”

"I see. The man nodded and said, "How much is enough?"

"Brother Xiaoshan said that it was enough when my mother woke up. ”

"I'm sure you'll be able to accumulate enough goddesses soon."

...

"Why does this place look so familiar?" said the man before.

Everyone stopped and looked at this familiar street, the familiar corner.

The man lowered his head and looked at Yao with inquiring eyes.

Yao walked out, picked up a clean-burning match from the ground on the corner of the street, pointed at Lin and said, "Stupid sister, you see this is the match you just wiped." ”

Lin looked at the match, stuck out his tongue, and said, "Oops, I'm lost too." ”
