"Do you two want something to drink?" The boss at the bar pushed two barbecue in front of Chu and Mann. This was already one of the best foods to order in this small city.

"Wine." Mann said with his eyes lit up. He had long wanted to try something like this that only adults could drink. Unfortunately, he had no money before, but now it is different.

But before the boss could hesitate to drink with the child, Chu had already stretched out a hand and stopped the two of them.

"Just give him milk."

"Um." The boss raised his brow and nodded: "No problem, then what do you need?"

"Shui." Chu said lightly. Actually, she didn't need to order anything or order water, but Mann said that he would have to eat some when treating him today.

According to his words, one should first learn to enjoy life, and tasting food is a way to enjoy life.

"Chu." When the boss walked away, Mann complained to Chu depressedly: "Why should I give me some things that only children drink?"

Chu glanced over his eyes and glanced at him: "Aren't you a child?"

"I'm twelve years old this year." Mann emphasized his age: "I can get married at the age of twelve in some remote areas."

"Okay, okay." Chu lazily reached out and patted the boy's head: "Drink more milk and grow taller, be good."

"Don't talk to me in that tone to a child!" Mann was like a wild cat with hair blown away from Chu's hand.

Not long after, the boss brought the water and milk.

Mann was still furious about what had happened just now, muttering while eating the barbecue on the plate, but he didn't drink milk. Since he ordered it, he wouldn't waste any penny.

Chu put a mouthful of barbecue into her mouth. To be honest, the meat was not tender, and the too-baked meat didn't taste it very well in her mouth. In addition, she couldn't taste it at first, which made her feel like she was chewing the wood dry.

Obviously, this kind of food cannot make her feel like enjoying life, but she doesn't mind eating it either.

He picked up the water beside him and took a sip, put down the water cup, turned his head to look at Mann.

"Mann." She called the boy's name.

"What's wrong?" the boy asked with his lips curled.

"Today, why didn't you agree to the city lord's entrustment?" I wanted to ask this question before. She thought that with Mann's personality, she would agree directly. Ten gold coins are not a small amount of money.

"This." Mann said as he ate the barbecue, looking to the side, pretending to be careless.

"He obviously means to ask you to help them resist the beast tide. I have heard of beast tide. The beast tide will pounce on the tide like the tide, and they will eat what is alive, and even the corpses will be taken away by them. If the beast tide is full of the beasts we have seen before, even you should be in danger."

After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders: "You are my partner, not a soldier. I just want to borrow you from ten gold coins, which is too few."

"Oh?" Chu took another sip of water and asked with a smile: "How much do you think I'm worth?"

"Well..." Mann seemed to think seriously for a while, then turned his head and looked at Chu with a smile.

"At least, eleven gold coins are required."

"Ba." Chu stretched out a finger and flicked Mann's forehead.

"Well." Mann covered his red forehead and shrank his neck: "What are you doing?"

"Ah." Chu turned around and pretended that nothing happened and ate the barbecue: "Hand slipped."

"You did it on purpose." Mann said with a dark face in depression, but considering the strength gap between him and Chu, he had to give up on his revenge and buried his head in shame to eat his own food.

The tavern under this hostel is quiet, so quiet that there is not much other sound.

After a few songs, the man sitting in the corner playing the piano also stopped his singing, put away his xylophone, and took the wine glass in front of him and finished the wine inside.

"Hey, Matt." A drinker sitting in the tavern said to the dark-skinned man: "I heard you are leaving too?"

It turned out that the man who played the piano was named Matt. He smiled helplessly with the wine glass and said to the winery who greeted him.

"Yes, you know that this beast tide... If the result is not good, I probably won't come back."

He was shy and didn't talk much, but the sorrow in his face was clearly visible.

Since this autumn, many people have left Xiskama and their hometown one after another.

The beast tide this time came so violently. Even the residents in the city could feel that Xiskama might have been in trouble.

"That's it." The drinker shook his head regretfully and sighed: "In this way, we will lack a beautiful singing voice when we drink."

"Hahahaha." The drinkers on the side laughed, but there was no lack of bitterness in their laughter.

"Where are you going?" another drinker asked Matt.

"Go to the east." Matt's voice was strong, which was also the reason why he sang beautifully.

"It's good to go east." The winemaker shook the wine glass in his hand and his eyes were ecstatic: "At least there is no wild beasts in the east. With your singing, you may become a famous bard one day. Don't forget us at that time."

"Yes." Matt smiled and looked at everyone nodded: "No."

He will not forget his hometown, nor will he forget the people in his hometown.

"Then let's see Matt off together." Among the drinkers, one person raised his glass.

Others also raised the wine glasses in their hands and said with a smile.

"Farewell to Matt."

People said this, but there was no joy in this farewell.

Chu and Mann sat aside, watching the farewell, silently.

During a farewell, the drinkers' chatterboxes were opened, and they drank wine and talked a lot.

Some people say they are about to leave, and they say where they are going, and invite others to come to meet in the future. Some people have no intention of leaving, maybe they cannot leave, or they may not want to leave.

No one can know the fate of this city, they can only pray silently for it, whether it is the people who stay or the people who are about to leave.

Life here is not good. Compared with the people in the east, there are too many hardships and there are always wild animals invading them, but there are too many memories here.
