Chapter 1 The old man and the girl

"Grandpa, how long will it take to get to Surabaya City?"

A slightly shabby carriage with accessories hanging around it was pulled by a brown horse and was moving slowly on the bumpy road.

The brown roller blinds were lifted up by a pair of delicate white hands, and a little face that had not yet lost its childishness, but already had a beauty, curiously looked at the scenery outside the carriage, with some complaints in its mouth, and said coquettishly: "We are all here

I’ve been riding in this carriage for a day, and you see, my butt hurts from sitting there.”

The girl pretended to be pitiful and stared at her husband.

Outside the car, beyond the bumpy road, there are stretches of green mountains. The cold wind carries the occasional drifting leaves and debris, making a lot of sounds.

Mountains, roads, carriages, all traveling alone.

inside the car.

The young girl and her father-in-law sat looking at each other.

"This is the fourteenth time you have asked." The old man was wearing a dark black robe, with a look of helplessness on his face. Twisted Zou lines appeared from the corners of his eyes, but his whole person did not look old, but instead had a feeling of age and strength.

Such spirit. This can be seen from the occasional twinkle in his eyes.

"Didn't I tell you that we'll be here in an hour or two..." The old man couldn't stand those pitiful eyes, so he sighed and then smiled.

"snort."

"My butt hurts. I need to go down and rest."

The girl hummed, but her body flexibly passed through the door curtain. She slapped the half-dead running horse with her right hand, and she jumped up and landed on the ground a few meters away from the carriage.

"Wow, grandpa, grandpa, look, there is the corpse of a monster here." Before the old man could stop him, the girl Yin Ling's shout of surprise came in.

"Hey, what kind of monster is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

The horses were trampling, and there was a sound of trampling. The girl stood on the edge of the avenue, her eyes looking at the monster in front of her in surprise and curiosity, which was about two meters long and resembled a rhinoceros. The entire monster's body was covered

It was wrapped in a thick layer of leather, with hard protrusions all over its body. Two sharp angles grew out of its head, and a little blood was dripping from it.

only.

At this moment, the demonic beast was dead. What caused its death was a bloody mouth about the size of a palm on his neck. Although it was not known how long the monster had been dead, the blood in the bloody mouth had long since dried up.

"It's a first-order demonic beast, Earth Rhinoceros."

The old man stood beside the girl at some point and muttered: "Strange, why do monsters appear here?"

"Won't it happen here?"

The girl was very curious.

"Normally it won't happen." The old man took a few steps closer, looked at the wound on the rhino's neck and said with a smile: "The people here are more active. Monsters like this usually only hide in the mountains and don't dare to come out.

of."

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up.

He took a few steps forward with his feet and came to be behind Tu Xi. With a wave of his right hand, Tu Xi's body moved a meter to one side under a touch of gravity, revealing the figure that was previously suppressed by his body.

"Hey, there's someone!"

"It seems that he was injured and unconscious." Tuxi was pushed away, and the figure of a man about 20 years old was revealed. However, this man was already unconscious at this moment, with dozens of wounds all over his body.

There was even a bloody mouth on the right side of the abdomen, and the shape seemed to be formed by the single horn on the head of the rhinoceros.

"It should be that this man fought with this rhinoceros, and then he couldn't resist, so he fled here." The old man looked at the traces of the fight on the ground around him, and explained to the girl with a smile: "Let's go, there are blood stains of monsters here, I'm afraid

It will soon attract the attention of other monsters, so we have to leave here."

"How is that possible!!"

Hearing this, the girl immediately put her hands on her hips and glared: "Grandpa, didn't you say that you would draw your sword to help when the road is rough? Now that this person is injured, how can we not save him?!"

"Forehead……"

The old man was startled and smiled bitterly: "Ling'er, think about it, we don't have much food left. If you really save him, then you won't have anything to eat. Also, look at all the food on him.

It's blood stains, you don't want the carriage to be filled with the strong smell of blood, right?"

"But……"

After hearing what her husband said, the girl immediately hesitated.

Her delicate head looked at the unconscious man from time to time, and then at her husband. Her cheeks twisted together in a cute way, and she was obviously struggling in her heart whether to save him or not.

"Besides, we are not related to him. What if he is a bad person?"

"When the time comes, you have a little girl and I have an old man, how can you escape from his murderous hands?" The old man looked solemn and tirelessly explained to the girl.

only.

When he said this, did he forget that he waved his hand and pushed the rhinoceros meters away?

Girls don't understand after all.

She was just weighing whether her father-in-law's words were right or not, and she muttered in a tangled voice: "If I save him, I won't have anything to eat, so what should I do?"

"Bad people, I heard that bad people are very bad."

"Uh-huh."

The old man nodded repeatedly: "The bad guys especially like to catch children like you and will sell you!"

"Wow!!"

"Grandpa, you bad guy, stop talking, I won't be sold!"

"You lied to me."

The girl was anxious, and rushed forward with her teeth and claws bared, grabbing the hem of her father-in-law's clothes with both hands, and wanted to leave. She looked at the unconscious man in confusion, frowned and thought for a long time: "But, if we don't save him, what if the monster

If you come here, you will be eaten by monsters, how bad that would be."

"How could I, Ling'er, allow such a thing to happen?!"

At this point, the confusion in Ling'er's eyes suddenly disappeared. He put one hand on his hips and pointed at his father-in-law with the other: "Grandpa, I don't care, I just want to save him. Didn't you say that we will reach Surabaya City in one or two hours? By that time.

Leave him to the medicine man in the city and we will be out of danger."

After thinking about it for a long time, Ling'er thought that this was the most appropriate option.

"But……"

"Grandpa!!! Stop it, hurry up, hurry up, save people!" Ling'er, who was only 1.2 meters tall and 3 meters tall, was hanging on his father-in-law, shaking hard and moaning.

"well!"

"I'll save you, I'll save you, come down quickly." The old man agreed quickly, complaining with a wry smile: "You're going to shake my old bones to pieces."

"Hehe, grandpa is the best."

The father-in-law glared at the extremely cute Ling'er who stuck out his tongue, walked straight to the man, lifted his right hand and tucked the man's whole body under his arm, and walked towards the carriage amidst Ling'er's cheerful laughter.

"Humph, grandpa is tired."

"Ling'er gives Grandpa a pat on the back."

Putting the man down, the old man sat down directly and said to Ling'er with his lips pursed.

"Okay, I'll give Grandpa a pat on the back!"

Ling'er thought for a moment and felt that her grandfather had done something good today and she should give him a slap on the back, so she smiled happily and moved her body to the old man's back, and started to hammer him again and again.

"Grandpa, are you comfortable?"

"Harder."

"how about this?"

The little fist that fell was a little heavier.

"Okay……"
