The scorching sun was in the sky, and the heat was unbearable. The leaves on the trees exuded a golden color. From a distance, they looked like golden trees, which made people think about it. The earth was heated, and cracks stretched for dozens of miles. Everything was destroyed.
The city of Daxia is located in the northwest corner of the Zhan Alliance. There are ten cities under the Zhan Alliance, five prefectures under the city, ten counties under each of the five prefectures, and five towns under each of the ten prefectures. It is located in a vast area with dense population and towns.
Prosperity is the last line of defense for the Alliance.
There is a mountain here, called Chiyan Mountain, which is ten thousand feet high and connected by mountains. It is covered with dark clouds all year round. At night, there will be bursts of whining, whining, whining, and whining sounds, which is extremely scary and terrifying. I heard the old people in the city say,
A hundred years ago, there was a war involving millions of people, resulting in countless casualties. There were bones everywhere inside, and you would get chills all over if you walked there during the day. Sometimes people would disappear inside, which was extremely mysterious.
The government also sent troops to look for the missing people, but in the end they were not found, and the officers and soldiers disappeared one after another. This incident finally alarmed the Prince of Daxia. I heard that two Concentration Realm warriors were sent to check, and there was a big shock in the middle of the night.
Loud. Some people said that dead people came out to cause trouble, some said that the dark alliance on the opposite side of Chiyan Mountain came over, and some even said that there were monsters living inside, and the missing people were caught and eaten by them. In the end, it made people panic, and the night was full.
No one came out.
Finally, the Emperor of Daxia issued a decree that no one was allowed to enter the hundred-mile radius of Chiyan Mountain. It was considered a forbidden area and was guarded by officers and soldiers all year round. Only the Emperor of Daxia and his prince knew the true situation.
Qingyuan Town is a town within the jurisdiction of the Prince's Mansion.
In the early morning, the streets are densely populated with people running inns, selling steamed buns, candied haws, rouge gouache, and people playing tricks. The streets are extremely lively. Although the weather is very hot, people still have to live their lives.
"Xiao Jingchen, you little bastard, you stole something from my store again. I won't beat you to death. Someone come here..." A middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and a fat body blocked the door.
At this moment, the customers in the store had just gotten up and came out to eat. They found the backyard was noisy, and four guys with brooms and sticks in their hands rushed inside aggressively.
"Mr. Bai, why don't you just order the rice and vegetables you ordered? I know you can't eat. Look at how fat you are. I'm helping you. It's true that Lu Dongbin has a good heart." The person who spoke was a young man with a strong body.
She is thin, has messy hair, her face is dirty, her clothes are shabby, and there is a hole in her left shoe. She is dressed in a very tacky style and has only one pair of bright eyes.
Mr. Bai put his hands on his hips, looked fierce, stared at his neck, and sneered: "You little bastard, tell me how many times you have been spotted by me. Not to mention the past, let's just say that you have been visiting my place this month.
Five times, you still have the nerve to accuse me, if I don’t beat you to death today, I will take your last name.”
While they were talking, the two guys picked up brooms and rushed in and headed straight for Xiao Jingchen. The two guys behind him stood at the door holding wooden sticks to prevent the thief from escaping.
"Master Bai, I don't dare to recognize you as my eldest son. Your surname should be Bai." As he spoke, Xiao Jingchen turned slightly to avoid the oncoming broom, and gently kicked the clerk on the knee with his right foot.
I saw the guy flying away towards the big water tank opposite.
Plop....! The standard dog ate poop and fell into the water tank.
Seeing that his companion was suffering a loss, another boy picked up a broom and attacked Xiao Jingchen's back. He was about to succeed. Just when the boy was feeling complacent, a figure in front of him suddenly disappeared. The boy's eyes widened. While he was still looking for someone, he realized that he
He also flew up and headed towards the water tank just now.
Plop....! Another one fell into the water tank.
Ouch.. Ouch.. The two guys are supporting each other in the water tank###.
Seeing this scene, Boss Bai's face turned pale with anger, and he yelled at the two guys behind him. "Go and catch him, catch him. I'll reward you two with one hundred copper coins each."
After hearing what the boss said, the two guys looked at each other, with white light in their eyes, and rushed forward together. The guy on the left picked up the stick and went straight to Xiao Jingchen's upper body, while the guy on the right also picked up the stick and went straight to Xiao Jingchen's lower body.
go.
Mr. Bai was watching intently from the door. It seemed that he couldn't run away this time. He thought about how to teach Xiao Jingchen a lesson after catching him. He smiled at the corner of his mouth.
The guests nearby had already gathered around to watch the excitement. When the man saw Xiao Jingchen defeating two people in a row, he applauded and clapped his hands. The daughter's family was very scared when she saw two more guys rushing up and about to hit her.
, lifting up his sleeves with his hands to cover his eyes.
He was about to approach Xiao Jingchen. At the critical moment, he clenched his left fist tightly and kicked out tightly, while at the same time he straightened his right leg and kicked out.
When... when...!
The two oncoming wooden sticks broke instantly, and the broken wooden sticks were ejected on the bodies of the two men. They fell to the ground and screamed that it hurt...it hurt...
Xiao Jingchen dusted himself off, walked up to Boss Bai in a swaggering manner, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Bai, it seems you really want to take my last name. I can walk in swaggeringly when I come to your store in the future."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Mr. Bai broke out in cold sweat, his body trembled, and he felt an aura coming towards him.
Good, good, good! The men and women blocking the door shouted loudly.
"Thank you all for coming. I have something important to do. From now on, you can come to this inn to eat for free. I believe Boss Bai, no, no, Boss Xiao won't mind." Xiao Jingchen walked out while smiling.
After the little episode just now, the guests also dispersed. Boss Bai was so angry that his teeth itched. The four waiters helped each other and came to him, looking at each other.
"You bunch of trash, what's the use of raising you? Get out of here, get out of here."
After watching the boss leave, the four waiters gave a thumbs up to the wall of the south courtyard. At the same time, a head appeared on the wall and looked around. It was none other than Xiao Jingchen.
"Four brothers, I have offended you a lot just now, please forgive me." Xiao Jingchen said, cupping his fists.
"Xiao Chen, you are out of touch when you say this. We all grew up together, and we all know that you actually had no choice but to steal the boss's things."
Xiao Jingchen was very excited, but also helpless. Is he really going to live in such a drowsy way?
At night, the sun goes down, and the hot weather becomes very cool. I walk on the street and think about my past years. I have been beaten for stealing, scolded, and sent to the government. I have experienced all kinds of things.
After that, the fifteen-year-old Xiao Jingchen realized the darkness of living at the bottom and the unpredictability of the human heart, and it also made his character become more mature.
"Hey! What is this? It's dark." Xiao Jingchen bent down and picked up a piece of broken iron.
Picking up the piece of broken iron, I saw three big characters written on the front, surrounded by a five-clawed golden dragon, and many small characters densely written on the back. It's a pity that Xiao Jingchen has never been to school since he was a child and can't read any big characters. It should be something good.
Well, after looking around and seeing no one around, he kicked him into his arms and walked towards the darkness.
