Heart Whistle [Whistle]

Some things and some people, once you start to miss it, you can't stop, and the pictures of the past continue to emerge.

For example, Diqing now is full of Steian.

The corpse of the iron-toothed wolf reminds her of Stein, the clear stream next to her reminds her of Stein, the lush forest reminds her of Stein, and even the clear blue sky like washing water reminds her Think of Stein.

Di Qing had to admit that she really missed Stein.

After all, that was the first ray of light she had seen in her dusty, unlucky life. Before meeting Stein, Di Qing couldn't even imagine that there were lucky people in the world whose life was shining and smooth all the way.

The gap between them is so great that Diqing only dares to envy Stein secretly in her heart, and even a little bit of this longing will make people laugh.

In the three years since becoming a partner, Diqing has been working hard to have a good relationship with Stein, but unfortunately...

"Hello? Hello?"

One hand dangled in front of Diqing, Diqing regained consciousness, and saw the pharmacist with a worried face.

"Are you okay with your injury? It seems that you are in a trance. Did you lose too much blood?"

"fine."

Di smiled lightly, and after embarrassingly tugging on the corner of her clothes, she stretched out her index finger and pointed to the side.

"Come on, I'll take you back to town."

After returning to Sai City with the pharmacist, and sending him back to the pharmacy, Diqing rented a room in the hotel, changed into his strange hospital gown, and had a good night's rest.

Early the next morning, Diqing felt something fluffy on her fingertips.

Opening her eyes in a haze, Di Qing saw a large orange-gold lying beside the bed.

Di Qing sat up and rubbed his eyes, only then did he see clearly the things beside the bed, and was momentarily sluggish.

I saw a small, light-colored tiger lying on the side of the bed. It looked comfortable, and its thick, long, furry tail was wagging leisurely as if it was sweeping the ground.

This is... her spiritual body?

Seeing that Di Qing woke up, the little tiger put his head next to Di Qing's legs, still kneading with a good temper.

Di Qing could feel the spiritual connection between herself and this little tiger, and stretched out her hand to rub the other's head, puzzled for a while.

The previous body is a flawed guide, and the mental body is also the tiger, but because of lack of ability, only Di Qing can see it in the depths of the spiritual sea and cannot summon it.

But now this body is her own...

She should be just an ordinary person, right?

The tiger in front of him made Di Qing have to let go of the confusion in his heart and accept the fact that he had awakened to become a guide.

Diqing put the little tiger away, packed herself up and started looking for new tasks to make money.

After turning around and not finding any missions, Di Qing resigned to his fate and walked into the mercenary tavern, spending all the remaining money on his body to register as a mercenary.

With the status of a mercenary, you can accept tasks in the mercenary tavern. The source of quests is sufficient and stable, and you can stay in the tavern even if you have nowhere to go.

"Come here to register information."

The bartender at the mercenary tavern took out a watch and a quill, and asked the flute for his identity information.

"Name?"

"The flute is light."

"what?"

The waiter raised his head abruptly, his red eyebrows furrowed into a ball, his green eyes scanned up and down, and looked at Di Qing in front of him.

Di Qing didn't like the contemptuous gaze of the other party, and said displeasedly: "What's the matter?"

"fine."

The waiter sighed, shook his head and continued to fill out the form.

"age?"

"22."

"Crowd type?"

"Guide."

"Ok?"

The waiter raised his head again, and asked directly this time: "A guide of you came here to be a mercenary? Isn't it in compliance with the rules?"

"Just say whether to accept it or not, I'm short of money."

"You are short of money, you can go to the tower."

The waiter couldn't understand Di Qing at all. As long as the guide went to the tower to register, he would basically be guaranteed for the rest of his life. What's the matter with coming to register as a mercenary?

"I don't want to go, oh, don't worry about it."

"If you don't accept it, return the registration fee to me."

Diqing also wanted to go to find Ta, but she rejected this idea as soon as she proposed it.

It is true that the tower is in charge of food, housing and happiness in the second half of life, but Diqing doesn't want to be forcibly paired again.

Based on her previous experience, forced pairing would only bring pain.

And she doesn't want to be paired with anyone else.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and finally put away the information sheet, let Diqing register successfully, handed Diqing a junior mercenary sign, and gave some instructions.

"You can only accept primary tasks, and you must follow the regiment for intermediate tasks."

"If the tower finds out your identity, don't implicate our tavern."

"Seeing that you are seriously injured, the first room in the corridor on the left is the doctor of the tavern, and the treatment of common trauma is five copper coins."

The treatment here is much cheaper, but Diqing can't afford five copper coins now. She picked up a discarded broken knife in the discard box, and went to the task bar to choose a suitable task.

The primary tasks have already been snatched up, and Di Qing can only see if there is any mercenary group shortage for the intermediate tasks.

"Hey, that pretty girl with black hair over there."

The bold and heroic shout instantly overwhelmed the din of the tavern, Di turned around lightly, and saw a tall woman with red hair and bronze skin waving to herself.

Diqing pointed to herself uncertainly, and the woman grinned, beckoning Diqing over with her hand.

After Di Qing trotted over, the hearty woman took out a mission and showed Di Qing to her.

"Seeing that you want to take on the task, we are short of one person, so you can come with us, how about it?"

"Okay, thank you."

Di glanced at the task and immediately agreed, smiling gratefully at the woman, her round and bright black eyes full of joy.

Seeing Di's light smile was bright and moving, the woman was taken aback, coughed twice before saying: "There is nothing to thank, we are also short of people."

"My name is Lila Corey, just call me Lila."

"Okay, my name is Diqing."

"what?"

Lila's mouth fell open, as if she was extraordinarily confused by the name.

Why does everyone look weird when they hear her name.

Reminiscent of the strange behavior of the waiter just now, Di Qing tentatively asked: "Is there a problem with my name?"

Lila quickly waved her hand, indicating that there was no problem.

The five members of the mercenary group set off from the tavern together after gathering. This time, the task was to hunt and kill a group of first-level monsters, the Red Flame Rabbits. There were forty or fifty of them.

It has to be said that the gap between fighting with a group and fighting alone is obvious, and the efficiency of hunting has increased significantly. The four were dumbfounded.

After the hunting was over, when the others were counting and arranging the corpses, Di, who had contributed the most, sat lightly on the side to rest, his round eyes were empty, wondering what he was thinking.

On the way back to the tavern, Lila leaned over to Diqing and said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful."

Originally, she joined the group with Diqing just because she looked pretty, and it was pleasing to the eyes even if the number of people gathered, but she didn't expect that Diqing contributed the most in the end.

"Thank you, you can call me next time you have a task."

"it is good."

"Talk about your hand..."

Lila pointed to Diqing's right arm. The wound had already opened during the fight, and a lot of blood oozed out. The gauze wrapped outside was completely stained red, and even started to bleed.

"You can find a doctor for treatment after you go back and pay the fee. It's not a big problem."

Diqing shook her right arm indifferently, the pain was natural, but she could bear it.

Speaking of which, she was able to bear the pain so much, and it was also thanks to Steian.

Back then, Diqing, who was badly injured, fainted and was taken back to the tower by Steian.

After waking up, Di was lightly lying on the hospital bed, and Stein's words "overreaching one's abilities" kept replaying in her mind.

For a moment, feeling ashamed and angry, Di slammed the bed board lightly and heavily, causing the bandaged wound to rupture, and Di's facial features wrinkled together due to the slight pain.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a delicate and beautiful cold face came into Di Qing's eyes.

Seeing that it was Stein, Diqing instantly put away her distorted expression, trying to put on a calm and composed look.

Stein's blue eyes glanced coldly at Di Qing's abdomen and arms, and when she saw blood spots blooming on the gauze, Stein sighed and said softly:

"It's going to be really troublesome."

This person always speaks the most indifferent and sarcastic words in the most beautiful voice. For no reason, Di Qing felt countless grievances welling up in his heart, and he suppressed the corners of his mouth so as not to let the collapsed emotions erupt.

It's strange to say that in the past so many years, the flute has suffered so many grievances without crying, but one word from Stein can make her want to cry.

Perhaps because of seeing Diqing's red eye circles and the teardrops swirling in them, Steinan paused, turned around, and still had no good words:

"I'm going to call the doctor."

"Don't do dangerous things if you are afraid of pain."

Di lightly raised her eyes to look at Stein's leaving back, and tears fell from her eyes instantly.

It's a pity that Di Qing was full of grievances at that time, and didn't notice Stein's red ears, trembling hands, and trembling tones.

Diqing remembered the grievances that broke out at that time, remembered Stein's cold words, and knew that she looked down on the weak and afraid of pain, so in the three years of partnering with Stein, Diqing never suffered any serious injuries. It hurts once.

She endured the pain so well that she never opened the medicine box that Stein gave her before the two of them had their first mission together.

Whenever she opened it once, she would find that it was neatly packed with various types of painkillers.
