Wind of Steel

"Woo, it's finally here." Yi Erlansi got off the train listlessly, and lay down on the grass without any image. "Hey, a girl can't do this." Armstrong said aside.

"I want you to take care of it!" Irlan Si moaned, "I hate taking trains the most! It's always an endless journey! Woohoo, I'm exhausted!"

"Sister Yilan, are you okay?" Al, who was carried by Armstrong on his shoulders, asked worriedly.

"Well, I can't die for the time being." Yi Erlansi closed her eyes and rested. "Okay, let's go!" Edward walked out immediately. "Oh, I got it." Yi Erlan Si stood up stiffly, beat the grass clippings and dust on her body twice, and followed. "Hey, I didn't expect you to be quite popular, huh?" Seeing that many people greeted Edward, Erlan Si said a little jealously.

"Really?" Edward didn't look very happy.

Wang Wang Wang!

At this moment came the barking of a dog.From a long distance, I saw Grandma Pinaco standing there very energetically. "It looks like you are very energetic!" the old woman greeted Edward, "So is Elan." Then she turned around and shouted to the second floor, "Wen Li! Wen Li! There is a distinguished guest!"

"This is Major Armstrong." Edward pointed to the signboard carrying Alphonse's flesh.

"Oh hello. I'm Pinacro Rockbell." It was hilarious to see a small man shake hands with a big man.Erlan Si was on the sidelines and finally managed not to laugh.

"However, I haven't seen you for a while, why have you become shorter?" Pinac took a drag on his cigarette, looked at Edward, and then at Armstrong. "What are you talking about!? You super short old woman!" Edward's forehead immediately burst out with blue veins. "You are the little mechanical dwarf!" Pinaco did not give in.

"Puchi! Hahahahaha!!" Seeing the old and the young, Yi Erlansi finally burst out laughing. "Hahaha..." In the end, even the tears were laughed out.

"Shut up, Edward!" At this moment, a wrench suddenly flew along with the sound, hitting Edward's head directly.

"Wen Li, do you want to kill someone?" Edward covered his head, extremely angry, but also very helpless. "You're back!" Wen Li smiled and stood on the balcony on the second floor, looking at Edward and the others with a very sunny look.

Yi Erlansi watched from the side, and suddenly felt a sense of alienation, as if she had no way to blend in with these few people no matter what.He laughed at himself, what's wrong?If you haven't even tried, how do you know you can't blend in with them?

"Wen Li~~~!" Thinking of this, Yi Erlansi quickly jumped a few times, pressed her right hand on the railing of the corridor, and flew to the balcony at once, then opened her arms and hugged the young and beautiful girl directly. .

Bang!

Wen Li dodged, and Yi Erlan Si fell directly onto the balcony. "You bastard, you want to attack me as soon as you come back!" The corners of Wen Li's eyes twitched twice, and she looked at Erlan Si helplessly, but then, "But, welcome back!" She showed a smiling face.

"I knew Wen Li would definitely welcome me!" Yi Erlansi jumped up from the balcony, hugged the defenseless Wen Li, and buried her head on Wen Li's body. "En, it smells so good!" I touched it with both hands dishonestly, "En, so soft!"

"You bastard!" Wen Li couldn't bear it any longer, and directly knocked Yi Erlan Si down with a knife in her hand.

"Hey!" When she saw that Edward's right arm was gone, Wen Li was already a little bit crazy. "Sorry, it's completely destroyed!" Edward drank his coffee unconsciously.But then, a wrench fell on his head.Yi Erlansi who was at the side shuddered, this Edward's fighting ability is really strong!If it was me, I would have been beaten by a wrench all the time, I'm afraid I would have ascended to heaven long ago, right?

"Then, you want to go to the central government quickly!" After Edward explained, Wen Li held her chin and said. "Yes, so I hope it can be repaired as soon as possible." Edward nodded repeatedly.

"Well, not only the arms need to be redone, but also the feet need to be modified." Pinako said after checking Edward's feet. "By the way, you should have grown taller, right? I remember you were..." Wen Li's expression was quite playful. "Don't tell me!" Edward seemed to be very afraid of others knowing how tall he was.

"It's probably less than 1 meters, right?" Irlan Si looked at Edward, "Hey, he's not as tall as me!" She seemed quite proud of this.

"Well, the leg is still there, just need to adjust it." Pina Ke helped Edward put on the spare leg, and said while smoking a cigarette, "But the hand needs to be redone." "What? It will take a week !” Edward asked a little worried. "Too underestimated us." Pinaco said proudly, "Three days!"

"Wow, the arms have to be redone, the legs have to be cut out again, and then reassembled." Wen Li held Edward's gun and grinned, "Wow, it seems that I have to stay overnight." "I'm sorry. "Edward said with a little embarrassment. "Don't you want to go to the central government as soon as possible?" Wen Li said with a smile, and then patted Edward directly, "Anyway, I will increase the fee!" But when she came back to her senses, Edward had already fallen into the pile of materials .

"Haha, it looks like you're still not familiar with the spare leg!" Wen Li laughed.

"Do you want me to help?" Erlan Si said, "If you use alchemy, you can save a lot of time in some places."

"It's okay," Wen Li said, "I can do it myself." After speaking, she went straight into the work room.Erlansi shrugged. Since people don't need her, she is happy to be free. It just so happens that her research has entered the final stage, so she can use these few days to find some materials and then do experiments.

"Okay, I'll go out to the market to buy some alchemy materials." Irlan Si said to Pinaco, "Do you need me to buy some ingredients so that I can cook some meals? Didn't you have a guest today?" She Pointing to the human flesh signboard on the side.

"Then I'll trouble you!" Pinaco said, exhaling a smoke ring. "You're welcome!" Yi Erlan Si smiled and walked out.Since I only came here a few days ago, Irlan Si seems to be familiar with the market this time.After coming to the market, she first selected some materials she needed, there were many kinds, but the amount of each was not much.This troubled Erlan Si for a while, because it was very difficult to hold.However, she still thought of a way, bought a piece of cloth, and used alchemy to make a strip of cloth with a lot of small pockets, and then carried it on her shoulders. I bought some vegetables and fruit and went back.

"No, that child is now homeless." Just as Ireland was about to open the door to enter, the voices of Pinaco and Armstrong came from inside the room. "Ed was qualified as a national alchemist, and the day he left home, he set his house on fire." She took a deep breath, "He used this way to remind himself that there was no way out. .”

Yeah?Remind yourself this way.Yi Erlansi sighed, and said to herself silently, it's a pity that she didn't even have the chance to remind herself by burning down her own house.

"Who!?" Because he was focused on Pinacle's words, Armstrong heard the sound of breathing outside. He stood at the door and did not come in. This was definitely not done by a familiar person, and he immediately pushed the door open. "Miss Elan?" He was a little surprised.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I just came back, so..." Because it was eavesdropping, Erlan Si didn't know what to say.

"It doesn't matter, these are not important things anyway." Pinack said, "Didn't Wen Li tell you?" I didn't say anything." Irlan Si walked in and put the vegetables and fruits on the table, she didn't know if she didn't want to recall those painful memories or something, for Edward to become like this, Wen Li He just said something vaguely, and the rest was guessed by Erlan Si himself, but Wen Li talked a lot about Edward and Alphonse's childhood.

"Are you Hohenheim's apprentice?" Pinack asked.

"That's right." Irlan Si looked at Pinaco with some doubts, didn't she know everything?

"I never asked, and Hohenheim's letter didn't say anything." Pinaco took a breath, "Where are your parents?"

Erlan Si was stunned, she never thought that someone would ask her this question. "I don't know." She replied, and then put the material bag on the chair beside her. "Don't you know?" Pinako seemed to understand something. "You are not an orphan, are you?"

"I don't know..." Erlan Si said slowly, "Since I became conscious, I have seen Master, even though I was already six years old at that time. However, I don't know anything about it before. The only thing I know is my name." She turned around and looked at Pinaco, "So I actually envy Brother Elric, although they have become like that, they still have a warm home after all. ah."

"Isn't their home already..." Armstrong said half a sentence in a daze before he couldn't speak, and seemed to realize his mistake. "Home is not only a house that can be called a home." Yi Erlansi said softly, "Only a family member who truly cares about oneself can be called a home. Otherwise, no matter how big the house is, no matter how many people live in it." , the so-called 'relatives' cannot be called home."

"Isn't this your home too?" Pinaco said casually, exhaling a smoke ring.

"Mine, home?" Erlan Si seemed a little surprised, but then smiled, "Yes, it feels so good to have a home..."
