The dazzling and hot sunshine bakes the earth.

Beside the adobe road, a thin young man wearing a coarse mandarin jacket and carrying a bamboo basket looked up at the four-story building in front of him.

Although the building is a little dilapidated, it is still the tallest building in Dongwei Town, and there are many beautifully carved wooden statues of auspicious animals on it.

It's just that most of these auspicious beasts are incomplete, or have many marks after being chopped with swords, and there are still arrows stuck in them in several places.

"Is this the Dongwei Restaurant that my father has always remembered? Compared with the entire Dongwei Town, it is indeed the tallest building and the most gorgeous building.

It's a pity that compared with the previous life, hey, forget it, I have been here for 13 years, and always thinking about the past only adds to my worries.

Fortunately, they were both named Li Xun in two lifetimes, so they didn’t forget their origins. "

Li Xun moved his eyes away from the cornices and brackets full of sword marks on the outer wall of the restaurant, touched a few coins in his pocket, sighed in his heart, turned around, and was about to go to the noodle stall not far away.

With these few copper coins, you can eat a bowl of vegetable noodle soup at a roadside noodle stall, but in this restaurant, you can't even drink a glass of water.

"Little friend, please stay."

A middle-aged man's voice came from behind.

"This big brother is calling for his little brother."

The young man turned around and said with his hands raised.

"Exactly, I ordered too much food, why don't this little brother come in and help me digest it."

The middle-aged man had a jade-like face, was gorgeously dressed, and had an upright posture. He was holding a wine glass in one hand, and the other hand was resting on a long sword inlaid with gems. The long sword was placed flat on the square dining table, and he turned his head and looked at the restaurant. A young man outside.

On the dining table in front of you, there are more than a dozen delicacies, and there is also a jar of wine that has just been opened, Monkey Wine, the best wine in Dongwei Restaurant.

Li Xun's heart skipped a beat, this world was not the peaceful and prosperous one in his previous life, but a bloody and chaotic one.

In ordinary villages and wilderness, human corpses can be seen everywhere. In good cases, they will be hastily buried by people. In bad cases, they will become food for wild beasts in the mountains.

Larger villages and towns will have specialized body collectors who are responsible for cleaning up remains in the early morning.

The world is in chaos precisely because of many knights.

These knights have outstanding martial arts. Some can easily jump three to five meters high, some can break bluestones with their hands, and some can walk on water. According to legend, top knights can travel eight hundred miles at night and thousands of miles in a day!

And they have different personalities. Some like to spread money everywhere and make good friends, others do all kinds of evil, and some are good people one second, but suddenly become evil people the next, and their behavior is unpredictable.

And because of their strong force, it was difficult to be controlled by the government.

Li Xun looked at the table filled with wine and delicacies a few meters away, swallowed his saliva, then looked down at his haggard body, like those paper figures in his previous life, sighed in his heart, and said cautiously.

"Thank you for the invitation, brother. It's just that my father asked me to wait for him at Ximen. We don't have much time now. I'm very sorry."

"Little brother, you don't need to think too much. It's just that a friend of mine was temporarily busy and asked me to order more food. If you don't come, these meals will just be wasted."

Li Xun seemed to be hesitating, but still took a few steps and sat opposite the knight in white.

Put down the backpack and sit opposite the knight in white.

The knight looked Li Xun up and down, frowned slightly, and stopped holding the wine glass in his mouth.

"It's strange. I have traveled around the world for more than [-] years and have seen a lot, but this is the first time I've seen you in this situation.

From what I see, you have a larger frame and are more well-proportioned, but why are you so thin, like a skinny, starving ghost?

But look at you, there are thick calluses on your hands, it seems that you often do some physical work.

Strange, strange. "

After Li Xun heard this, he sighed in his heart. He didn't know why. Since he was born, everything has gone smoothly. He is not rich, but he does not lack food and clothing.

This is especially because his father is a hunter in the village and can still eat a few bites of meat every now and then.

"Hey, it's a long story. I have been learning hunting skills from my father. I have just started to get started. But just after the Chinese New Year this year, I started to get this strange disease. Every other month, a suction force will be generated in my body. , sucked away most of the flesh and blood from my body,

After three months of this, I became like this. "

"Oh, that's it. Little brother, please stretch out your left hand and I will feel your pulse."

When Li Xun heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly put his left hand on the table.

The knight in white put his fingers on Li Xun's wrist and searched several places before finding a place with a weak pulse.

After a few breaths, the knight in white retracted his hand and said.

"Little brother, if it is true as you said, there will be inexplicable suction in your body every month, then you will not live long. The flesh and blood all over your body has been sucked out, and the next time it will be your internal organs."

"what!"

Li Xun couldn't help shouting.

There is only fear and uneasiness left in my heart.

At this time, the knight in white across from him moved his mouth slightly, but his voice lingered in Li Xun's ears.

"But you and I are destined to be together today. I have a "Health Sutra" here. It's not considered a superior internal skill. It may be able to save your life.

But after all, it is a book of inner strength and mental methods. If you don't want to cause trouble, it is best to practice it secretly by yourself, or after memorizing it skillfully, burn it to ashes. "

After saying that, the knight in white waved his hand, and a thin book fell into the basket on Li Xunde's back.

Li Xun stood up and saluted.

The knight in white stretched out his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and then said.

"We are destined to meet each other. Why bother with these false gifts? Come and have a delicious meal with me."

After that, he even took the initiative to bring some dishes to Li Xun.

After a while, after the two had had enough wine and food, Li Xun spoke.

"I don't know my eldest brother's name yet, I hope he can tell me."

The knight in white laughed loudly, and then said, "Didn't you tell me your name?"

"I'm Li Xun, Muzi Li, I'm looking for Xun."

"I am Wang Mufeng, like the spring breeze."

After saying that, Wang Mufeng slapped a small ingot of gold on the table and shouted softly, "Waiter, pay the bill, and give the rest to my little brother."

A waiter in coarse linen clothes took the small ingot of gold with a smile and went to the counter to settle the bill.

As soon as Li Xun turned around, he saw that Wang Mufeng had disappeared. After looking around, he found a white shadow in the distance, flickering between the eaves.

In a few breaths, he disappeared from sight.

"Sir, this is 30 taels of silver in change. Do you want to give you broken silver or three small ingots of silver ingots?"

"Give me broken silver. By the way, you can help me wrap the remaining half bottle of wine and leftovers in oil paper. I want to take them away."

"No problem, sir."
