"Chihiro, go, what are you looking at?"

When Gao Yan was leaving, she called out to Chu Qianxun.

"Hey, here we come."

Chu Qianxun couldn't help but looked back a few times. The sand scattered on the ground had disappeared, and she had been thinking of a person in her heart.

But behind him there is only a quiet and dark forest, with layered canopies, looking back at himself silently, he can't see the imaginary figure.

The battle of the high-ranking saints outside the city did not seem to have any impact on the lives of the lower-level residents in Spring City.

Ye Peitian's shoes stepped on the muddy street intersection and stopped.

The noisy human voice and the crowded streets made him feel a little uneasy in his heart. He pulled the black mask on his face, not knowing whether the emotions surging in his heart were irritability or fear.

Walk into the crowd of people rubbing shoulders. One by one fresh human bodies brushed past him, making his breathing a little faster,

The smell here is cloudy.

A scent mixed with steamed buns, the stench of coal stoves, and the smell of human sweat drifted into the air.

The Great Demon King, who had been away from human life for a long time, walked step by step, feeling that he was slowly regaining a little bit of life.

He seems to have returned to many years ago, although life at that time was not very good, his father's indifference, his stepmother's rejection, and his younger brother's targeting often made him painful.

But at that time, he also often squatted on the street like this, listening to this kind of voice and smelling this kind of smell.

At that time, the demons had not yet come, there were no ubiquitous monsters, and the humans around them were still human, and they would not drag him into the dark abyss like a demon, and his hands were never stained with blood like they are now. .

Ye Peitian avoided the crowded streets, went into the sparsely populated alley, went a long way, and unknowingly came to the downstairs of the tube building.

He raised his head and looked at one of the windows from a distance.

There were several pots of green plants planted by the window, and one tomato was red, and there was a faint hint of lovely red behind the green leaves.

He stood there for a long time when the window was suddenly pushed open,

Ye Peitian felt his heart pounding,

The man stretched out half of his body, nibbling on half a piece of brown black cake in one hand, and watering the flowers with a shower in the other. Her half-length hair had just been washed, and it hung wet behind her ears, and her face was washed clean, with a different atmosphere.

Chu Qianxun happily touched the red tomatoes.

It's cooked again, eat it today.

At that moment, she was keenly aware of something, raised her head and glanced, under a green sycamore tree in the distance, a swaying breeze swept a wisp of yellow sand, and there was no one there.

It's an illusion,

Why are you always suspicious lately.

Chu Qianxun smiled.

The most messy and disorderly block in Spring City is called Black Street.

In this crisscrossed neighborhood, there is an inland river running through the town.

Said to be a river, it is actually a little wider than a ditch. This inland river traverses from west to east from the unplanned base of infrastructure construction, sweeping all kinds of waste discarded upstream and rolling down to the black street downstream. , the water has been dark and dirty to see.

Therefore, the neighborhoods in the surrounding area, along with this Heihe River, got the name of Black Street.

A tattered wooden chair floated up and down on the water, slowly drifting down the river. A black crow stopped on the back of the chair, rolled its eyes and looked at it for a while, made an unpleasant cry, spread its wings and flew away.

On the deserted river was a man in a hooded T-shirt. He was thin, with slender legs, and his back was slightly hunched, silently watching the flowing black water.

The setting sun was slowly sinking. It was like a stingy businessman who was finally willing to give this dim water surface a little bit of sheen before night fell.

Lights and shadows change, rivers flow,

The young man sitting on the embankment didn't move at all. He didn't know how long he had been sitting in this position. Seems to be a person who is idle to the point of doing nothing.

"Stop, little brat, don't run!"

"Grandpa, I can't believe I can't catch you, this little thief!"

The noise broke the tranquility here, and a small figure rushed down the nearby slope like a cannonball. The three or four big men behind him scolded and chased after him.

Without turning his head, the little boy threw two small triangular cones to the ground behind him. The two inconspicuous black triangular cones landed on both sides of the entrance of the alley. , a black line connecting to each other shoots out from the top corner. The black line was taut, tripping the three pursuers rushing all the way to the ground,

The men were rushing too fast from the heights, and they were tripped and rolled several times, unable to get up for a while.

The little boy turned around, pointed at the people who fell to the ground and laughed, "your dad, I just took a piece of your black cake and chased me for a few streets like a mad dog. Now you know how powerful your dad is?"

He was complacent here, but he didn't see a one-eyed man lying on the ground, quietly inserting his fingers into the ground. A thin vine grew on the grass beside the boy's feet, and quietly climbed up to his feet, tying his feet when he was unprepared.

This "one-eyed" is a low-level saint with plant-type powers.

The little boy's face changed, he wanted to run but fell to the ground.

The men with bruised noses and bruised faces got up, pressed the ten-year-old thief to the ground, and beat and kicked mercilessly.

Ye Peitian, who was sitting by the bank, turned sideways and watched the scene in front of him silently.

"One Eye" turned his head to look at him and spat on the ground, "Stinky boy, what are you looking at, don't mind your own business, or I'll beat you together."

The little boy curled up and rolled on the ground, raining fists on his small body. He didn't beg for mercy, he cursed without a mouthful. He has been living on this street since he was a child, and being beaten is just a common occurrence for him.

The cruel life told him that begging for mercy at this time would have no effect.

"The little brat dares to be stubborn, I will kill you today!" The one-eyed man pulled out the short knife from his waist and stabbed it down fiercely.

A hand reached out and grabbed his wrist.

The hand was evenly boned, pale skinned, and not particularly strong. But as soon as he grasped it, One Eye felt that his wrist was tightly bound by a hard iron pliers, unable to move at all.

"Let go! Let go! Big... Big brother, your hand is about to break, spare, spare me."

One-eyed had to start cursing at first, but as the palm closed slightly, unbearable pain suddenly came from his wrist. This low-level saint, who was still very arrogant just now, was cowardly in an instant.

He is a low-level saint who has retired from the battlefield, and he has also glimpsed the demeanor of those high-level powerhouses on the battlefield of demon hunting. The face-covered young man in front of him, although he didn't use his superpowers, his cold eyes looking at a corpse and his powerful physical ability to break his wrist with one move made him quickly realize that this was someone he couldn't afford to provoke. people.

Several wise men left in a tumble.

Ye Peitian glanced at the boy lying in the grass, without speaking, he silently returned to the embankment and sat back to his seat.

After a while, a small figure sat down beside him.

"Thank you so much, buddy. My name is Xiao Zhui, what's your name?" Xiao Zhui wiped his face with his sleeve and smeared a mouthful of blood on the ground.

Ye Peitian's eyes turned, glanced at him, and turned back to the flowing black water.

Xiao Zhui didn't mind his indifference. He had seen many indifferent people, but very few people were willing to reach out to him.

He took out a dark-brown thick cake that had been crushed and deformed from his arms, broke it in half, and handed half to Ye Peitian beside him.

"Do you want to eat? Brother, I'm lucky today. After being beaten, I can get a full meal."

This cake is dark and thick, and even mixed with mud. Obviously, it will not taste good, but it is the staple food of most people in this base. There are even some people who are struggling on the brink of starvation, who can't even eat such rough food.

Ye Peitian hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, and took half of the black cake. With his white fingers, he broke off a small piece of the rough black pancake, put it into his mouth, and ate it slowly.

That's what it tasted like.

He had seen the man eating this kind of food. The man gave him a fragrant and sweet cereal, but he was standing outside the door eating such a hard thing to swallow.

Ye Peitian's heart suddenly softened, perhaps because he hadn't received the kindness of others for too long, the happiness of being cared for was held tightly in his heart, and he kept rubbing and savoring it.

The sky darkened quickly.

Xiao Chai took the "new friend" who seemed to have nowhere to go to his place.

"You're welcome, come in." Xiao Zhui got into the hut made of demon bones, kicked away the debris on the ground, and made room for Ye Peitian who entered the house.

This room is really too small, and the space seems a little cramped when two people stay in it together.

But Xiao Chai didn't care at all, he touched a switch in the corner, pulled it, and several five-pointed stars hanging on the wall were lit up in the house. He did not know where he picked up this kind of small lamp used to decorate trees in the golden age, and repaired it and hung it on the wall of his house for lighting. In fact, on weekdays, he would be reluctant to turn on such a small light that consumes batteries and does not have much brightness.

"How is it? It's not bad." Xiaozui was happy to be able to show off his proud work in front of his friends.

The newly acquainted friend also put his eyes on the warm lights with a lot of face, and did not move for a long time.

Xiao Chai tidyed up the abandoned refrigerator lying on the ground, put a dilapidated quilt on it, and planned to sleep here at night. And the "bed" that was a mess on the ground was given to Ye Peitian by him.

When cleaning up, he couldn't help showing the gadgets he made to his friends.

"How is it, I'm great, right?" Although his friend remained silent, he couldn't stop him ramble about his dreams, "When I grow up a little bit, I will join a mercenary group, I can touch the bodies of those high-level monsters there, and I will definitely become a great forge by then."

"Let's see, what is this." Xiao Zhui pulled out a bag of his most precious things, carefully opened a hole, and quickly shook it in front of Ye Peitian, "Have you seen it before? Too much sugar, this is a high-end candy."

He carefully took out two, put one in Ye Peitian's hand, ate one by himself, and licked his fingers with some reluctance.

Rarely has a friend come to the house, and he is ready to enjoy this luxurious meal with his guests like a generous host.

"This was given to me by a good brother of mine." Xiao Zhui said, "He's a bit strange. He obviously broke his hand and looked half-dead, but there is still a woman who is willing to support him. Not only to support him, Buy him candy."

He got his wish and saw that Ye Peitian was attracted by his topic.

"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find him recently. Speaking of which, he seems to look a bit like you."
