Cards are born to be king

It turned out that the red egg that disappeared inexplicably was hidden by this little thing.

Jiang Yong hugged the egg and felt the little owl land on top of his head tentatively, but he didn't drive it away after all.I heard the grey-haired strong man of the fire lion mercenary group say that this egg seems to be quite valuable?But now it's not easy to bring it back to the poorhouse, and the scorpion hook that was given to the poorhouse before.

Jiang Yong thought about it, and decided to store the egg and the tail hook in the library first. With the guardian of the gray tower, this is the safest place in the town.By the time I walked out of the library, it was completely dark.The howling cold wind raged past, and snowflakes floated in the sky again.Falling in the dim light of the ice lanterns by the roadside, it looks extraordinarily lonely and desolate.

"Stop making trouble, my hair is not straw. Are you going to make a nest in it?!"

Just a little melancholy in my heart, it was completely dispelled by the owl's mischief.Putting the purple card into the inner pocket of the cotton coat, Jiang Yong shivered due to the cold wind, and wrapped his clothes tightly.However, the owl's fuss made him suddenly think of a question, how to explain the white hair on his head?

"Oh, what a hassle. My money..."

Turning the last red star coin into a bottle of hair dye with a black water pen, Jiang Yong's heart was bleeding.Fortunately, the hair dye obtained from one red star coin can be used several times, and the color is not limited.But this time, the four star coins that South gave him were all spent, and it was better to find a chance to make some money.

Trot along the road all the way back to the poorhouse, the low gray building stands in the corner of Carter Town.Some warm yellow light is revealed from the lattice windows, which looks a little warm.This is considered to be Fei Lian's home, where he adopted about six or seven orphans, living on the funds from the city and donations from the townspeople.

Jiang Yong stood at the door of the almshouse, rehearsing what he was going to say next in his mind one by one.But I still felt a little nervous, so I decided to practice again.

"Hey, I'm back..."

"Brother Fei Lian, you are back!"

At this moment, the broken wooden door of the almshouse suddenly opened, and a little head with messy brown hair poked out from inside.Jiang Yong held his breath in his throat and suddenly coughed out of breath.After finally getting the breath out, he felt as if he ran over a thousand alpacas in his heart.

Looking up while doing mental construction, Jiang Yong found that there were six little radish heads crowded at the door, staring at him without blinking.They were all wearing shabby but clean clothes, and everyone's little faces were flushed red from the fire.

Thinking of something, Jiang Yong's eyes became softer, and the smile on his face became more real.

"Walk around, what are you doing standing at the door, blowing cold wind?"

Throwing the children into the house, Jiang Yong turned around and closed the door tightly.The room of the poorhouse is not big, and there is a long dining table in the room at the entrance, and six or seven odd-shaped wooden chairs are crowded together...these are all made by the children of the poorhouse.

"I said that what I saw in the square today is Brother Fei Lian, you still don't believe me!"

Standing at the front of the crowd was Sen Nuo, who had just tested the card in the morning. After seeing Jiang Yong coming back, he had a bright smile on his face, and accidentally exposed a front tooth that was missing during the tooth replacement period.

"Brother Fei Lian, we are all very worried about you. Hearing that Corky said that you were killed by a monster in the forest, Ambier was so angry that he fought with him on the spot. Now she is locked up in the confinement room by the aunt. "

"Hmph, Corky is a coward, he dare not go into the forest at all."

Jiang Yong twitched his lips in disdain, but wiped his sweat in his heart.Imitating a 12-year-old child's speech really made him a little stressed, but the group of little radish heads obviously didn't notice anything unusual. After hearing his words, they all jumped and cheered, looking like the best big brother.

"Okay, stop making trouble, you haven't eaten yet. Hurry up and bring out the food, I'll go and see Ambier."

In order to wait for him to come back, these little guys have not eaten yet.Today, because Senuo tested the card, Aunt Winnie has not come back to the mayor's house, which made them free.Watching the little ones arrange the plates and bowls in an orderly manner, Senuo brought out the potatoes that had been stewed a long time ago from the kitchen.Jiang Yong also let go of his heart and walked out of the living room.

But after he walked out, the movements of the little guys stopped immediately.They looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally turned their attention to Sen Nuo.

The brown-haired boy skillfully scooped up the potatoes in the vat with a long-handled spoon and distributed them to the plates.As if he didn't notice these gazes, his expression was a little indifferent.

"Senuo, that matter..."

A little girl with shofar braids hesitated for a while, then made a murmur.But when Sen Nuo stopped, he suddenly stopped talking, with a worried expression on his face.

"What's the matter?"

"It's that...Korky..."

"Oh."

"Don't we need to tell Brother Fei Lian?"

Seeing the uneasy expressions of the children, Sen Nuo put down the empty wooden barrel, raised his eyebrows, his face dotted with small freckles still had the childishness unique to children, but his eyes had a gloomy look that did not match his age.

"Whatever you say, that guy Ambier will definitely shake out anyway."

"But he...he is our partner. That matter shouldn't be pushed on him, it was Corky..."

"Humph."

Senuo snorted coldly, and his face suddenly sank.

"Alia, do you want to be friends with that monster?"

"No... I, I."

Hearing Sen Nuo's questioning, the little girl's face suddenly turned pale.She lowered her head in horror, held the corner of her clothes timidly, and said in a trembling voice:

"I just think... Brother Fei Lian cares so much about Ambier. If he knew about those things, how sad it would be..."

"Ha, who knows how Ambier provoked Corky. If it wasn't for him, how could Brother Fei Lian enter the forest! It's the Sunset Twilight Forest, and the bones of adventurers who die in it every year can fill up the town of Carter! You guys Do you really think this is just a house-playing game? Do you really think Brother Fei Lian will not be in danger?"

Hearing Sen Nuo's stern words, the other children all lowered their heads, not daring to say anything anymore.After turning his eyes around them, Sen Nuo said seriously:

"The youngest among us is already seven years old, and he is no longer a child. He shouldn't cause trouble to Brother Fei Lian anymore. After the winter snow season, I will leave here and go to the Star Academy. Brother Fei Lian will also be an adult. At that time, no one will protect you anymore! Corky is the son of President Evans Chamber of Commerce, and we can't afford to provoke him."

"If it wasn't for his identity, how could Brother Fei Lian be forced into the forest... Humph, duel, I'll go to him."

At the end, Sen Nuo's tone finally contained some childish complaints.Puckering his mouth, his eyes were full of reconciliation.

If I have status and power, who else will bully us?Who else would want to steal Brother Fei Lian's stuff?

"No one is allowed to tell about that matter, let's see how Ambier will solve it."

After inspecting the room at last, Senuo said firmly.

……

Walking out of the hall quickly, Jiang Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief.He kicked the snow on the ground and walked towards the bedroom he remembered.The children in the poorhouse all had their own beds, but in winter they used to sleep together, which made them feel warmer.Walking to the edge of the quilt that belonged to Fei Lian, Jiang Yong tore off the corners of the quilt according to his memory, and took out a bunch of keys from inside.

Now is the coldest time, and there is no stove in the confinement room, even the strongest people will get sick from the cold if they don't pay attention, not to mention that Ambier is only a ten-year-old child.Taking a few breaths from Xiang Shou Xin, Jiang Yong hurriedly walked to the confinement room at the back of the asylum, and secretly opened the door.

There was only a dim kerosene lamp in the narrow confinement room, and a very thin body curled up in the shadow under the lamp, at most the size of a five or six-year-old child.After hearing the sound, the man raised his head vigilantly, and seemed to be in better spirits.

Just seeing the scene in front of him, Jiang Yong was at a loss for words for a while.After so many days in this world, it was the first time he saw pure black hair.Sighing in his heart, he felt a little more rare towards this child named Ambier.When the child jumped into his arms, Jiang Yong hugged the thin body, feeling as light as a piece of paper.

"Brother Fei Lian, did you really go to duel with Corky?!"

"You're not hurt, are you okay!"

Ambier looked very nervous. He lay in Jiang Yong's arms and raised his head, looking at him eagerly.Jiang Yong noticed that the child's eyes were also pure black, which looked like precious stones, which is very rare even in modern times.Rubbing Ambier's black hair vigorously, Jiang Yong sighed that the hair was really black and thick, and held Abier's cold little hand.

"It's okay, that coward Corky didn't dare to come at all. Go, everyone is waiting for you to eat, the potatoes are going to be cold."

Looking at Jiang Yong, Ambier opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly stopped.Worries still remained on his face, but doubt and vigilance flashed across the boy's eyes when he looked at Jiang Yong, but they disappeared before Jiang Yong noticed.

Immediately afterwards, seemingly inadvertently, Ambier avoided Jiang Yong's outstretched hand, lowered his head and followed him silently out of the confinement room.
