Dark clouds were all over the sky, and the drizzle fell crookedly, and the mountains in the distance were covered with fog. Only the foot of the mountain could be seen, but the top of the mountain could not be seen.

There is an ordinary village at the foot of the mountain, where large areas of farmland are scattered, and villagers wearing hats and corsets are in the misty fields. In a place with many houses, which is the center of the village, farmers will let their children come to a private school here when the farm is busy, and there is an old woman who teaches them to read.

She always smells of garlic and some herbs mixed with it, but the children don’t hate her because she often tells stories they are interested in.

“Three years ago, Amihu, the greatest hero in human history, passed away. He dragged the army of Demon Race with one person. That day was dark and the world was depressed. His Sacrifice gave mankind a chance. Under the guidance of the adventurer guild, the armies of the empires sneaked into the back of the enemy and gave them a heavy blow. In the following year, the Demon Races did not ease their breath. Come.”

The old woman sits on the wooden recliner on the recliner, and the little children sit around, listening to her story.

“I know! I know! This is the plan proposed by the guild president Rael Phoenix Young Lady! She is the smartest and bravest woman in the world.”

One The little girl without front teeth stood up excitedly. She wore two long and short ponytails. The most eye-catching thing was the butterfly hairpin on her hair, which was distributed by the Adventurer Guild.

“The seventh hero Klaus is much better than her, he killed the elemental demon!”

Another child yelled, and soon the room was full of children. With yelling and shouting, they divided into two factions, one is the adventurer trade union support faction with mostly female children, and the other is the hero support faction. The two sides quarreled endlessly, and no one agreed with each other.

The old woman seems to be used to this kind of thing happening, and her ears are not working well, even if everyone shouts in her ears, she is indifferent.

She focused her attention on that unique little child in the room. His age is not too young. He seems to be ten years old this year. What makes him different from other children is that he is very special. It’s quiet, and his clothes are more tattered, and his pants are full of patches.

Even in the countryside, other children hate him for being dirty. He is always dirty.

Moreover, he kept looking out the door, sitting on the ground, looking out the open wooden door.

This house was originally a small temple, but people no longer remember what gods used to live here. Over time, they emptied it and used it as a place for children. Since there are no windows, the room will be very dark if the door is not opened, and such remote places will not be luxurious enough to light up during the day.

In fact, he is not the only habit of staring outside the door. When dusk is approaching, all children will lie by the door, staring outside, waiting for their father or mother to pick them up. At this time, they hope that their parents will come early. When they see the silhouette of their parents, they will run out happily. Then there are fewer and fewer children in the house, and the sky is getting darker and darker.

When it’s late for a certain time, the children’s hearts start to feel lost and sad. When parents come to pick them up, they don’t have the excitement they had earlier, and some even get angry about it. If the sun goes down and the old woman lights up the lamp, many timid children will cry, thinking that their parents have abandoned them. Other children who are slightly stronger are affected and cannot help crying.

Only the tattered child, he has always been the one who is worried and unhappy, and he has always been the one to leave the latest.

His father came back from the ground very late. The man was dirtier and his clothes were older and more tattered. Then the little boy walked out silently and followed him away.

The old woman heard some rumors about him from the village, and out of pity, she paid special attention to him.

In this ordinary morning, a white-haired woman suddenly came to this village, holding a huge potato leaf as a fan, she walked on the muddy village road. She is very special, very special. There are few strangers in the village. Even traveling merchants are reluctant to come to this remote place, let alone travellers.

So she attracted the attention of all the children, and they all lay down at the door, looking at the beautiful big elder sister in strange clothes. She was tall and had an unusual white hair. Everyone was attracted by her white hair, including the little boy.

“Don’t block the door! Get back to your place!”

The old woman yelled, she got up from her chair, strange to the remote village People are accidents, and adults will feel nervous about it.

At this time, the other party also turned around and looked towards everyone. I don’t know which naughty child said “She is going to eat people!”, the other children yelled a few times and ran back happily In the room.

Only one male child is still standing in front of the door.

The old woman came to the door with a cane. She stretched out her hand like a tree root and touched the boy’s head.

“If you have seen enough, go back and do it. Only the gangster will stare at the girl.”

She said, the little boy blinked, and he looked at the stranger People, the other party raised the leaf, and when he saw the other party’s face, he stared wide-eyed and mouth opened wide.

At that moment, he seemed to understand what the old woman meant by being beautiful.

The white-haired woman has a pair of beautiful blue eyes, and her face is different from everyone in the village. He doesn’t know how to describe it. It’s the kind of peng peng that jumps straight in his heart. feel.

She came over, the little boy stepped back silently, and the old woman stood by the door, watching the travelers outside.

“Hey! Girl, where did you come from?”

The old woman moved towards The other party beckoned, and the latter came under the eaves.

“Hello old lady, where is this?”

Her voice is very nice, but there are always little children imitating others underneath.

“What? I can’t hear you clearly. You speak louder.”

The old woman can’t hear her clearly. This is her old problem.

“Where is it?”

The other party was a little louder, but the boy knew that this kind of volume could not make the old man hear clearly.

“This is Beifu Mountain Village.”

He suddenly said, the other side looked towards him, and the boy was so nervous that he held the door frame.

“Oh, thank you, I heard that an adventurer is needed here, do you know where the client is?”

The white-haired woman asked. After hearing the other party’s words, the boy suddenly With eyes wide open, took a deep breath.

“What? Sorry, my ears don’t work well.”

The old lady said.

“Mother! She is an adventurer! Come and help us! I will take her to see Huo Uncle!”

The boy yelled into the old man’s ear, the old man heard it clearly, she looked towards the white-haired woman, showing a strange look.
