Short legs are not allowed to run

The morning sun shines on the bed through the window, and there is a small white and tender milk doll huddled on the single bed, the milk doll is pouted and frowning with discomfort on his face.

The little white long-tailed beast curled up around the baby's neck, closed its eyes and fell asleep, and moved its ears from time to time.

Sam knocked lightly on the closed door, opened the door and glanced inside, shook his head with a smile on his lips, and closed the door again.

"Is he still asleep?" Sara was eating a big bowl of noodles, looking at the door of Duan Ruixiu's room with doubts in her eyes, "Brother, do you think Ruixiu is very lazy every morning? "

"Children tend to eat and sleep more when they are growing up." Sam dragged him back to the dinner table, feeling that he was fussing.

The two brothers were eating face to face. The contact phone in the house rang. They looked at each other and Sam got up to answer the phone. He didn't know what the other party said. His expression changed from surprise to shock.

"What's wrong?" Sara asked puzzled.

Opening his mouth, Sam took a deep breath, looked straight into his eyes and said slowly, "Last night... the Earth Dragon Mercenary Group disappeared."

"..." Sara blinked, stretched out her hand to pick her ears, and couldn't hear clearly, "What did you say? Disappeared?"

"Yes, it disappeared. Fifty members of the mercenary group and the buildings of the mercenary group disappeared out of thin air." Sam's face turned pale. It can be regarded as a medium organization, who is so capable to make it disappear overnight without a trace.

The other large and small guilds were all in panic because of this incident. Some people claimed to have seen the assailant, a boy in black, but no one believed this. If such a powerful person existed in the city, they would not be unaware.

Sarah put down her chopsticks and was not in the mood to eat anymore.

Originally, they planned to find a slightly better mercenary group as a place of residence after the auction. After all, there are a lot of mercenary groups in major guilds. The mainland was in turmoil in [-], and the war between the Gris Kingdom and the Abra Empire was imminent. Those who survived in the cracks could only rely on major neutral guilds or some medium-sized mercenary groups to survive.

Silence remained between the two for a long time, until Duan Ruixiu came out of the bedroom sighing and rubbing his eyes, the two brothers still looked at each other across the table with frowning faces.

Duan Ruixiu, who hadn't woken up yet, wobbled towards the table with his short legs, his chubby face was pink and tender, and his big eyes were dazed.

"Brother Sam, I'm hungry." Duan Ruixiu climbed onto the chair with his little butt pouted, looking up at Sam.

Yesterday, activating three magic circles at a time made his body a little overwhelmed, otherwise he wouldn't be so sleepy. Sam didn't respond when he knocked on the door.

Sam was taken aback, and quickly got up to serve him a bowl of noodles. Duan Ruixiu picked up the noodles with chopsticks and ate them in small bites. He looked at Sam and Sarah with his big black eyes, sucked his little nose, and asked : "What happened?"

"It's okay, you little doll, don't worry about this." Sarah rubbed Duan Ruixiu's fluffy hair with her hands, and grinned dryly at him, but the smile was unnatural and her face was a little distorted.

The corner of Duan Ruixiu's mouth twitched, he rolled his eyes and bowed his head for him to continue eating.

Do you really think he is a milk doll and doesn't know anything?I'm afraid it was because they knew about the Earth Dragon Mercenary Corps that they made such a bad face in the morning.

The little beast squatting on the ground raised its head to look at Duan Ruixiu, and chirped twice.

"Do you want to eat it?" Duan Ruixiu took a piece of noodles and sent it over. Duan Ruixiu looked down at it.

The little beast moved its nose, and it smelled good, so it opened its mouth to eat.

The long tail flicked, and the pink tongue licked its nose, very satisfied.

"Master, give me another one."

The little beast's voice sounded in his head, Duan Ruixiu ate one and gave the little beast one, and he ate up a bowl of noodles in a short while.He rubbed his belly, he was not full...

"Brother Sam, I'm not full."

Sam got up quickly to fill another bowl for him, and sat down to continue eating when he came back.

The whole meal passed while Duan Ruixiu was feeding the little beast while watching the expressions of the two brothers. He wiped his mouth and thought about how to get in touch with the person at the auction. is inconvenient.

"I'll go to the auction venue to have a look later. I heard it's anonymous." Sara put the machete behind her back and turned to look at Sam.

Sam nodded, holding a small brown leather bag in his hand, Duan Ruixiu knew that there were various herbs and potions in it.

"I'll go to the bank and take out the stored crystal nucleus."

"How about Rachel just stay at home and look after the house?"

"Brother Sara and I will go to the auction, don't stay at home." He has to see if there is anything he needs. After all, it is uncertain how long this milk doll will last, so he has to make plans for the future. .

After thinking about it, Sara felt that it would be no problem to take Duan Ruixiu there, anyway, he was very good and would not run around.

"Then let's go." He stretched out his hand and led Duan Ruixiu out.

Duan Ruixiu hugged the little beast and walked slowly on the street behind Sara. There were various shops on both sides of the street, and he raised his eyebrows a little doubtfully.

It seemed that there were not so many stores open last night. Could it be that they only open for business during the day and rest at night?

"Brother Sara, there didn't seem to be so many people when we entered the city yesterday?" Xiao Pao stretched out his hand to grab Sara's sleeve in two steps, and asked puzzledly with his powdered face upturned.

Sara nodded and explained with a sigh: "I heard that a monster that eats people appeared recently, and several people died in the surrounding villages, so everyone dare not go out at night for fear of encountering that monster."

Duan Ruixiu suddenly realized, no wonder no one saw his big action yesterday, it turned out to be the case.

"What kind of monster is it? If it eats people, will it be very big? Like the monster chasing us?" Duan Ruixiu continued to act as a curious baby, and performed the child's innocence with ease.

Sarah shook her head and shrugged her shoulders, "Monsters should all eat people. You should have seen those monsters when we were in the foggy forest, but I haven't seen any that go to the village to eat people. I'm also curious. "

Duan Ruixiu pouted, the little beast in his arms looked left and right, and chirped twice.

"Master, master, I smell a stench!"

"Fish smell?" Duan Ruixiu turned his head to look. There were many people on the road, but there was no one who looked special.

"Yes, it's in the shop in front." The little beast flicked its tail, jumped off the ground and ran forward.

Duan Ruixiu looked up at the sign and clicked his tongue. It was a coincidence.
