On an old tree with fresh green branches just pulled out, a yellow-faced young man was lying weakly on the canopy, and two black raccoons were frolicking beside him. , One of them jumped on his head, and the boy raised his hand and threw the naughty guy down: "Go away and go away, I don’t have the strength to take care of you. I don’t know how the old man’s business is doing. Everyone is doing this winter. It’s not easy. Finally a fat sheep came, but don’t mess it up. Bah, baah, how can Abel’s eyes be messed up, unless the old man is doing bad things."

"I hope not." The young man picked off a small green sprout from the branch next to it, bit it between his lips, and immediately a faint bitter taste melted in his mouth, just like here. The taste of life in a dark place.

The light gradually slanted to the west, and the temperature was gradually swelling. The boy tightened the patched cloak tightly on his body and wanted to slip down the tree. Suddenly a dark shadow flashed in his sight, and the boy looked at it and revealed a row of yellow teeth: "Daddy is back."

He turned around and opened his throat to the tree houses behind and shouted, "Daddy, they are back."

After shouting two or three times, old faces gradually appeared in the seven or eight wooden houses. Their wrinkled faces cracked with a smile, revealing the mouths with missing front teeth or even teeth missing and only gums left. .

The yellow boy slipped down the old tree quickly, and two black raccoons followed him behind him. The boy was wearing shoes that didn't fit well, and even a hole in his left foot could see the toes inside. The shoes left footprints on the soft mud, and the young Fei also followed a path to welcome the returning team.

At a glance, he saw Papa Birik walking in front, and next to him was Abel, who had been idolizing since he was a child. Behind them are two tall horses, one horse and one female rider. The male one has very rare silver hair, and the female is neutral regardless of temperament, and the young man almost forgets to breathe when he sees the beautiful face.

The young man shouted in his heart: The quality of the fat sheep this time is very high!

"It's not far ahead, Master Ellen." Birrick rubbed his hands and tried to squeeze a simple smile. It's a pity that he looks too fierce and vicious, so it's only funny.

"Just call my name, old man." Allen smiled.

Birek grinned and said: "How can it be, I have never seen a big man like you, I think those noble lords should be like you."

"So that's the case, but sir, no matter how you slap me, I won't slap my **** and turn around, so you can lead the way with peace of mind. Also, there is a team behind us with a number of 100 people. Around. It will probably arrive tomorrow, so how about asking someone to pick it up?"

Birek's face was stiff, and he cried and said: "Master Ellen, our dark spears are not farts here. The place is limited, and there is really no room for so many of you." The old man thought about the rest. The food is so little, these big masters don't want to stay for a day or two, that little thing is not enough for others to eat.

Allen seemed to know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, father, we have food for ourselves. We just need a place to rest before going deep into the dark place. I won't let you go for nothing afterwards. Busy."

Berick was relieved now.

There is already a teenager running over there, shouting without a word: "Father, Abel. Our fat sheep looks very good."

As soon as Birik kicked Abel, the latter scolded and rubbed his **** while pulling the boy up and said: "Don't talk nonsense, we kicked the iron this time."

"Steel plate?" The boy glanced at Alan, who smiled at him gently, and he grinned and said: "Why don't I look like it?"

Abel sighed and said: "I didn't look like it before, or I wouldn't be able to kick it straight."

Ellen rode through a tree gate. It was two old trees growing along the road. Their canopies were naturally entangled to form a natural arch. Behind the tree door is an open space with several large wooden troughs to store water, and seven or eight middle-aged women sitting beside them are washing clothes. At the back is a stove made of stone, with a large pot on it, as if something is being cooked in it. A simple wooden table was built next to it, and a fat woman was stirring an iron pan with a large spoon on it.

Seeing Birik coming back, the fat woman crouched on her hips and shouted, "Birek, go get some meat out, or else everyone will only shout tonight." Seeing Ellen and others, hey He said: "So you brought the fat sheep back, why, do you want to kill them? Let me say yes, I can't do this kind of rough work. But this kid and the little girl look delicate and tender. Meaty, it must taste much better than your stinky meat that seems to be hidden as a baby."

Birek was frightened and hurriedly called: "Shut up, these are our distinguished guests."

The fat woman snorted, obviously not convinced. Birik said to Ellen, "Master Ellen, she has something wrong here, don't go to your heart." The old man gestured to his head.

Alan shook his head, rolled over and dismounted. Looking around for a week, the thieves' den of the dark spear was far more shabby than he thought. The tree houses built on the old trees don’t look so strong. In addition, the gang of thieves are old, old, small and small. It’s a thief’s den, rather than a small village. . Allen whispered: "Master, it looks like you don't mix well in the dark place."

Birek smiled bitterly, but didn't answer.

Next, Abel and the young companion took a horse from Alan and the others, and brought two carriages to the corner of the square. Allen asked Fares to take out the food and handed it to Birik to make the ingredients for dinner. When Birik saw the smoked meat, dried fruits and vegetables and bread that Fares had sent, the corners of the old man's eyes were wet, and he had forgotten how long he hadn't eaten something like this. Immediately, all the brains were sent to the woman who was in charge of cooking, and then some were secretly kept. The fat woman smiled when she saw so much food, and immediately called the women washing clothes to help with cooking.

Before it was time for dinner, Allen found a clean place in the square to sit down. The camp of the Dark Spear is on a high slope, and from here, you can see a dark forest spreading forward. The sky in the distance was full of fiery red clouds, like masses of still flames, dyeing the sky and the earth the same color. Alan's body was also stained with a red light, and he pulled out a newly grown grass core from the ground beside it, rubbing it in his hand repeatedly.

"Master Ellen...you are not a caravan, are you?" Birik walked over and glanced at Ellen, but he wanted to sit down but didn't dare.

Looking at the old man, Allen patted the side and signaled that Birrick could sit down. He tilted his head and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Birek sat down cross-legged, squinted his eyes and said: "It doesn't look like it, I've been here for some years. As long as the caravan passing through the dark place is nothing wrong, don't look like it. You still have time to visit our doghouse like this."

Allen chuckled and said, "You dark spears don’t look like bandits, old and small. If you want to have no combat power, you need to be equipped and unequipped, you are too mixed. It's a bit miserable."

Birek murmured: "No way, we don't want to kill, nor dare to kill. We can only rely on the number of people to scare some small caravans, and it is enough to blackmail some money. This is not a lot of young boys. If we couldn't make it, we all ran to the big bosses who could be ranked high. We are left with some old men and stinky brats."

"In that case, why don't you leave here?"

Birek smiled bitterly: "Where can we go? Master Ellen, the reason why the big guy came to the dark place is because he can't live in his hometown. Whether he left on his own initiative or was forced to If we leave, we can’t go back anyway. Everyone here works together and we can barely survive. Once we leave, the people here will never survive."

"After all, we are just a bunch of ghosts that are still alive."

At this moment someone called Birek's name, the old man patted his **** and stood up, he turned to leave. Allen sitting on the ground suddenly said: "I heard that the deepest part of the sea, where even the sun can’t reach. The depths of the sea are eternal darkness, but even in the darkest place, there are some lives that can on their own. Shine. Shine on yourself and also illuminate the darkness. They are the light in the darkness."

Without expressing anything in detail, Allen simply recounted a fact. Birik was faintly moved when he heard it, and the old man scratched his head, shook his head and left. Allen did not look back, did not retain, everyone had their own way to go, and he could not expect everyone to follow his own path. He still looked at Yuantian, and said to himself after a moment: "Are you the flash in the dark?"

Then turned his head and looked at a large rock. A head moved behind the rock, and then Abel crawled out from behind the rock. The boy smiled all over his face and said: "The adults found me when they were on the road?"

Alan nodded.

Abel sighed and said, "I thought I was hiding well enough."

"You are hiding well, in fact, you are very talented in concealment skills. How about, do you want to follow me, I have a friend who is a master of assassination concealment, if you let him train If you do, you will become a good assassin."

"Really?" Abel's eyes lit up. This is undoubtedly a life-changing opportunity for the teenagers in the dark places. But the light in the young boy's eyes soon dimmed, and he smiled bitterly: "I am willing to be by the side of Lord Ellen, but I have very important things to go..."

"It's okay." Allen said softly: "That promise is effective for a long time. You can come to me anytime when you change your mind. As long as I am not dead."

Abel stared at him blankly. The young man couldn't imagine the person as powerful as the one in front of him. Apart from time, there was nothing else that could kill him.
