After Mu left, Lianhua sat down again. He looked up at the night sky and listened to the "rustling" sound of leaves whispering as the night wind blew across the trees on both sides of the road. Lianhua's heart was like the leaves, and it could not calm for a long time. Scenes from childhood began to appear in his mind...

At the age of three, where his memory began, for him at that time, he remembered only two things clearly. One thing was that a giant snake was sealed in his body, and the giant snake was still the culprit of killing his grandfather and destroying his grandfather's village. The other thing was that the person who sealed this hateful giant snake into his body was his father.

At the age of four, he was still very weak at that time. He only knew some simple martial arts and could not fight at all. One day, his father stuffed him a dagger and locked him up in a small dark room. There were three wild wolves who had been hungry for several days in the room. "If you want to survive, kill them," this was the last sentence his father said when he closed the door. God knows what he experienced in that room at that time. The three hungry wolves looked at him so greedy and vicious. Until now, he still clearly remembered that although in the end, he still killed the three hungry wolves under the strong desire to survive.

However, the torn and scratched wounds made him unconscious for seven days. Seven days later, when he woke up, his physical injuries had almost healed, but the psychological injuries were expanding infinitely. The scene he saw before he was unconscious - his bloody hands tortured him all the time for a long time. He could not close his eyes. As long as he closed his eyes, the bloody hands would appear, and his hands would become sticky, and he could even smell the suffocating bloody smell in the room. Even in this state, his father never stopped training him, but instead became more and more intense.

At the age of five, he had basically mastered martial arts. His father took him to an unknown mountain, which was a mountain with no people. In the mountains, there were wild animals, and bears and wild boars were the most common. "I will pick you up in a year, don't die." His father left only one sentence and left without looking back. He could only survive by himself. Fortunately, his martial arts were quite solid. Even so, he almost died under the giant palms of bears and the fangs of wild boars several times. He hid in the mountains during the day, and at night he had to hold the sneak attacks of the beasts, closed his eyes and had bloody hands.

The nightmare was tormenting him, and his physical condition became worse and worse. He knew that he could not continue like this. He would never live for a year. He would become the food on the plate for the beasts. He could not die here, he could not. So he used the sharpened branches as a weapon, and he would no longer run away when he encountered wild beasts. He began to fight for survival, and began to kill for survival. The more he killed, the more he killed, the more he became more and more skilled. It was strange that as his killing became even more, the nightmare of the blood-handed no longer appeared. During this year, he learned how to survive in the wild, and during this year he became silent.

At the age of six, his father took him to the eastern plain, which was an area where low-level monsters appeared. His father tied ten lead pieces on his feet and threw them two daggers. He said nothing, nor looked at him and left. Although the monsters that appeared on the eastern plain were all low-level, for him who was only six years old at the time, even a low-level monster cub was much stronger than wild beasts. He remembered that a young low-level thunder lizard almost killed him, and was later chased by a group of low-level double-crested birds. Because of the lead pieces tied to his feet, he was soon caught up by them and surrounded.

They pecked at his body with their long beaks, and their flesh was torn off one by one. Just when he thought he was going to die, the giant snake appeared. This was the first time he used the power of the giant snake. The group of double-crested birds that besieged him were instantly killed in front of this power. In the next two years, he wandered between life and death. When he was in danger of death countless times, the power of the giant snake would appear to resolve it for him, and he gradually mastered the ability of the giant snake. Two years later, the low-level monsters on the eastern plains could no longer pose any threat to him. One day, a "shadow crow" flew to him with the words to let him go home.

But on his way home, an accident occurred. In this accident, he fell into a deep coma because of the transitional use of the power of the giant snake. This coma lasted for two years. When he woke up again, he was already ten years old. His father came to see him the day after he woke up, and left without saying anything.

That year he officially became a mercenary, an "e"-level mercenary. In the first few years he became a mercenary, he stayed at home very little, only his mother and sister would go home every year on their birthdays and New Year's Eve, and he spent the rest of his time doing tasks outside. This is why he was qualified as a "b"-level mercenary at this age.

A few years passed, until three years ago, when his father was forced to terminate his mercenary life by his father for participating in a certain incident, he ordered him to go home and issued a confinement order. At first, he ignored it, and his father even used family power to round him up, and he was no longer the one he was slaughtered by others. Years of mercenary life and experience allowed him to escape from the pursuit. After several failed pursuits, his father took action himself. He remembered it very clearly in an unknown small village. His father held his hands at the end of a path, and he rushed over without hesitation. In the face of his father's merciless strength, he was defeated for ten short round trips, and was so idle that he was finally tied back home by his father.

In the three years after returning home, he never talked or communicated with his father. When they met, they didn't even say hello, just pretending that they didn't see him. Recently, they had a conversation, which was because of this conversation that he chose to run away from home.

What made him strange was that after his father knew where he was going, he only sent Mulai, and said that he pretended not to know, which made people puzzled.

If it weren't for the memory of the past few days, his father would have always been so strict, so unkind, so cruel, and so unreasonable. He had never seen his father laugh since he was a child.

"Father, what kind of person are you?" Lianhua murmured as she thought.

"Mu said you went to the imperial capital for that matter?" Thinking of this, Lianhua unconsciously looked at the north, where the imperial capital was located.

...

The night gradually left, and the sky was slightly brighter. The water vapor in the air slowly formed morning mist due to the rise in temperature. The morning mist enveloped the woods and the path in the forest like a veil. The sound of birds singing from afar interrupted Lianhua's thoughts, making him realize that the night had passed without realizing it.

Lianhua stretched her waist up to the sky, moved her body for a night, especially behind her waist and neck, and turned over and jumped off the roof of the car.

Lucy happened to push open the car door and walked out from inside. Seeing Lianhua smiled and greeted, "Good morning, Lianhua, thank you for your hard work in the evening."

"Good morning," Lianhua was stunned at first, then nodded and responded, "Why are you getting up?"

"Ah~ I can't sleep." Lucy's pretty face suddenly turned red for some reason.

"I can't sleep with the carriage?"

"No, no." Lucy shook her head quickly, but her face turned redder. "Isn't it because you didn't sleep well yesterday because you didn't sleep next to me?" Lucy muttered in her heart.

Seeing Lucy's expression, Lianhua suddenly thought of a question and said, "Sorry, let you sleep in the same room with a group of men. Today we will strive to rush to Uisha Village."

"No, no, it's okay. Everyone is so familiar." Lucy said with a red face and waved her hand.

Seeing Lucy's expression, Lianhua decided to change the topic, "I plan to make them some breakfast, do you want to go together?"

"Okay." Lucy nodded while jumping out of the carriage.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder to shoulder towards the woods.

When the sun rises from the horizon again, a trace of sunlight shines into the morning mist, a new day is coming.
