——I never thought that I would meet him so soon.



Today's temperature is cooler, probably the breath of autumn brought by the cold wind.

Now is a good season for hunting sweet-scented osmanthus birds.

This is a very rare bird, especially the colorful feathers in iridescent colors. It has always been the favorite of taxidermists, and it can be sold at a high price on the black market.

When Fatty mentioned this bird, everyone showed varying degrees of skepticism.

Not to mention that biology is not within the scope of their studies, and people like Fatty will never be interested in birds, so it is even more impossible for them to have knowledge about sweet-scented osmanthus birds that even they do not have.

Under their forced confession, Fatty finally told the truth.

During the parkour, he accidentally broke someone's luxury car.

"Are you so stupid!" Mo Liang yelled, "Because you are obsessed with the game "Prince of Persia", you learn how to play extreme parkour from the protagonist?!"

In this game, it is common for the protagonist to fly over walls, leap over various cliffs and obstacles.Game developers use smooth and graceful movements and beautiful visual effects as a foil, which is very popular with teenagers of their age.

Fatty always has a passionate heart, and he is a typical "daydreaming" teenager.

The structure of the houses in Area C has become an excellent realistic scene for him to imitate the protagonist of the game.

As a result, it became a tragedy.

Under the impact of the weight that Mo Liang and the others evaluated as being crushed by meat bullets, the fat man who did not jump to the opposite roof, but fell straight, unfortunately smashed the innocent car parked downstairs.

Compared to Fatty who was only slightly scratched, the roof of that car was completely scrapped.

Mo Liang roared: "Don't you have a B number in your mind about your own condition?!" Mo Liang would get into the bad habit of swearing, and the big reason is that the fat man caused it.

The nickname "Fatty" lives up to its name.

That is a meat bomb chariot weighing 130 kilograms.If it was Mo Liang who fell from that height and hit him, he probably would have suffered a severe fracture even if he didn't have to report to the Palace of the Underworld.

Jiang Fan shrugged and said, "We should be thankful that he didn't follow the example of "Assassin's Creed."

— Leap of Faith.

"Otherwise, the Highway Bureau should come to trouble him."

"Artificial body crater?"

"The leap of faith is jumping from a super tall building. The houses in District C can't meet this requirement?"

The fat man said: "Stop mocking me, you guys can help me out!"

It is natural for the owner to demand compensation.

But this expense is not something that Fatty's family can afford, and he dare not tell his parents about it.

"Then go and catch me a sweet-scented osmanthus bird, no matter life or death, as long as you can bring me one back, then you will stop destroying my car."

This man is a black market merchant. He is familiar with the black market and can sell rare goods to sky-high prices.

However, it is definitely not so easy to obtain rare goods, and it is often accompanied by extremely high risks, so these businessmen know that they can make huge profits, but they dare not try it for themselves.

He only gave the fat man a week, and threatened the fat man that if he didn't follow through, he would take corresponding actions.

Mo Liang sighed: "So you were threatened by him? Wouldn't it be better to inform brother Wenyuan about this?"

"Absolutely not!" the fat man yelled, "If brother Wenyuan knows, my parents will definitely know too! Then, I will really die!"

He held Jiang Fan's shoulders and almost begged, "Please, Xiao Fan! Don't tell your brother!"

Jiang Fan sighed and looked at Mo Liang.

"What to do, Ryoko?"

Mo Liang sighed, "Although he did it on his own, he is our friend after all."

He looked at the fat man and said, "Hey, that man is sure that the sweet-scented osmanthus bird has appeared in the woodland in the eastern suburbs, right?"

"Yeah!" Fatty nodded his head.

The black market dealer did help them with their pre-work.Needless to say, the various materials and equipment commonly used in expeditions, including the habits of the sweet-scented osmanthus bird, the bait that can lure it, and where it most often appears in the forest, the businessman explained to Fatty one by one.

"All in all, I can only try it now."



What the black market merchant gave was a detailed map taken by satellite, and several best routes to enter the forest were marked with red pens on it.The habitat and predation routes of the sweet-scented osmanthus are also marked on it in detail with different colored pens.

"...Why does it feel like playing a survival game in the wild..."

Mo Liang, who was holding the map, murmured, and the other four companions who looked around him nodded in sympathy.

Looking at this map, if you go to the habitat of the sweet-scented osmanthus bird from their current location, you can obviously take a straight line to go there, but the map shows a serpentine-like curved road.

"Why do you want us to take a long way?"

"Could there be some dangerous carnivore living in the forest?"

"How is it possible? This is not a primeval forest. I think there are at most small animals like squirrels living in the forest besides birds."

"Ha, maybe there are snakes too!"

"Alas……"

"Fatty, when that person gave you this map, you didn't ask him why he deliberately took these detours?"

The fat man scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I didn't open it when I took it, and he didn't say anything to me..."

"You idiot!" Jiang Fan sighed, "Liangzi, what should I do?"

Others also waited for his opinion.

Mo Liang thought for a while, and said: "We'd better take a shortcut. Catching birds is a protracted battle. If we consume too much energy in advance, we have no chance of winning. Of course, we must also confirm the safety of the road when we move forward. If anything goes wrong, we'll be right back."

"Yeah." The four nodded.

At their age, it is not bad to be able to consider that "there may be such threats as wild beasts in the forest".

They noticed that the map had deliberately marked some long-distance routes, but they didn't realize the nature of the other party's doing so.

——For example, the preparations are in place, so why didn't the black market dealer take action by himself, or hire some professionals to hunt, but let a few children complete it?

However, even adults, in the case of debts, their thinking will become dull.Apart from being at the mercy of the other party, few people can calm down and analyze it.



Deep in the forest is a completely different world from the city they live in.

The beasts and snakes they were worried about did not appear at all. On the contrary, the beautiful scenery in the forest gave them a feeling of relaxation and happiness.

While admiring the beautiful scenery, they compared the map and moved forward. It only took about an hour to arrive at the habitat of the sweet-scented osmanthus bird marked on the map.

Before coming, they also did a lot of homework and knew how to use the habits of sweet-scented osmanthus birds to set traps to catch them.Just in case, they also prepared offensive equipment such as slingshots-although they may not be effective, it is impossible for them to obtain effective sniper equipment such as guns.

Mo Liang, on the other hand, was equipped with a fishing rod.

The fat man frowned: "...Are you serious?"

"You can rest assured about this." It was Jiang Fan who answered, "Liangzi used to practice with sparrows on trees, and now he has controlled his head quite well."

Because the fishing line may entangle the bird until it is strangled, or the fish float may kill the bird, so it is ideal to catch it alive with a trap.Mo Liang will wait in the back unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Ah, there is!"

"Shh!"

On the top of a tree ahead, perched is a beautiful bird with rainbow-colored feathers.

"That's right, it should be the sweet-scented osmanthus bird, right?" one of them said in a low voice.

"Arranging traps may scare it away, what should I do?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"I'll try."

Mo Liang signaled them to back off, while he prepared his fishing rod.

The moment the pole was thrown, the sweet-scented osmanthus bird should be frightened and fly away, and Mo Liang had already taken this into consideration.

So the direction he found was not where the sweet-scented osmanthus bird was perched, but the direction it flew away from.

To predict this point, if it is not an experienced hunter, it is difficult to be sure.But Mo Liang has experience in hunting sparrows, so he can roughly guess their escape route.

The movement of swinging the pole was beautiful and smooth, and the float accurately hit the osmanthus bird that took off.

"It's amazing!"

Fatty happily went to pick up the injured bird that was shot down.

Originally, Mo Liang planned to entangle it with a fishing line, but as expected, he couldn't do such a superb move.

"It's amazing. It's the first time I've seen a bird hit with a fishing rod. How did you do it?"

The sudden voice from behind startled them all.

At some point, that boy was already behind them.

"...Yes, it's you!"

They recognized the boy's face.

It should be said that it is impossible to forget.

The guy who was quite popular among the girls, the guy who stood behind Lord Ling Wang on the day of his speech.

"guard--"



"My name is Wei Lan."

Seeing that Mo Liang couldn't remember his name, the boy kindly added to himself.

"You are……?"

"Mo, Mo Liang."

Mo Liang was not very clear whether he honestly reported his name out of his own politeness or the atmosphere of the scene, but he answered honestly anyway.

Wei Lan looked around everyone, including the injured sweet-scented osmanthus bird, but only asked Mo Liang's name.

"What's the matter?... By the way, why would a noble son come to such a place?"

Jiang Fan walked up to Mo Liang immediately, looking at Wei Lan with vigilance and... subtle hostility.

Wei Lan, who caught this point, just smiled back.

That kind of smile is obviously fake, but it will never be seen by these children.

"This is my secret base."

"Secret base?"

Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows. This statement was obviously suspicious.

"Oh, yes……"

However, Mo Liang caught a hint of loneliness from his kind smile.

He froze.

Ah, it turns out that the young master also has this kind of emotion...



Wei Lan just pretended not to see the sweet-scented osmanthus hunting.

Fatty's debts were also written off, and the adults were not alarmed.

Taking this as an opportunity, Wei Lan became friends with them, and among them, she was most concerned with Mo Liang.

In addition, shortly after the fat man compensated the black market dealer, all the illegal traders of sweet-scented osmanthus birds, including the black market dealer, were caught up.

The intentionally detoured routes indicated on the map were not because of any beasts, but to avoid the Wei family's security net.

It was only then that Mo Liang and the others knew that the forest was the private woodland of the Wei family.

It is illegal to trespass and hunt the private property of the nobles, but Wei Lan helped them fool the past and did not hold any of them accountable.

They were not mentioned in the testimony of the black market dealer.

It should be that Wei Lan used some means to cover up the past.

Later, Jiang Fan and the others speculated that Wei Lan approached them at that time just to catch those lawbreakers, and in exchange, they would not be held accountable for the crimes they were instigated to commit.

However, in fact, this is not the case.

Wei Lan just wanted to get to know Mo Liang simply.

The Wei family is a family of knights, and the purpose of knights is to protect mankind.

But what happened to Wei Lan in the past made him start to deny human beings.

With such a mood, there is no way to fulfill the family obligations as the next head of the family.

At this moment, he found Mo Liang.

As the only purity that illuminates his dark heart, through him, Wei Lan gradually regains his life goal, and is willing to start believing in the existence of "human beings" again.

At the same time, he was also attracted by his personality, and gradually became an irreplaceable and warm existence in Wei Lan's heart.
