"Hello——"
At this time, Chu Yi, who was practicing swordsmanship with Xia Lan, sneezed.
"Hey! The first grade of junior high school! You are moving! Stand for one more hour!" Xia Lan shouted to the first grade of junior high school who was holding a sword in a challenge pose.
"Ah? I didn't know that guy was scolding me..." Chu Yi said with an innocent face.
"Tsk... I'm laughing so hard..." Hongyan said with a smile at the side
"Hey! Is Xia Lan there? Come out quickly!" A woman's voice came from outside. After hearing this, Xia Lan immediately opened the door to check.
Click——
"I don't have the key!"
After opening the door, a girl walked in. She had beautiful long pink hair. She was holding a bag in her left hand and a suitcase in her right hand. She was wearing sunglasses, a big gold chain hanging around her neck, chewing gum in her mouth, and wearing jeans. Shorts and a tank top with a bear pattern are very trendy.
"Oh! It's Lina! Are you back from traveling?" Xia Lan asked with a smile.
"Hurry up and give me the key! Don't be shy, the luggage is heavy!" Reina said.
"Who is she?" Chuyi secretly whispered into Hongyan's ear while Xia Lan was not paying attention.
"I do not know……"
"As an apprentice, why do you talk to the master like this?" Xia Lan said to Reina
"Stop being so nagging, uncle! You are no longer a kid. Give me the key quickly. I want to see my beloved knife!" Reina asked Xia Lan for the key impatiently.
"Okay, okay, you are noble, you are amazing! You really taught the apprentice, and the master starved to death..." Xia Lan said as she handed the key to Reina.
"I will give you a gift after I see my beloved knife. If my beloved knife is slightly damaged or scratched...just wait and see!" After finishing speaking, Reina dragged her suitcase and left.
"Master Xia Lan, who is she?" Xia Lan asked on the first day of the new year after she came back.
"She is my apprentice, Reina. She lost her parents when she was a child. Reina and her sister depended on each other. One day when she was a child, her sister went out to find food for her, and she stayed in the dilapidated abandoned house. , but a group of human traffickers suddenly broke in and took her away, and her sister was never seen again..."
"It's so miserable... Then how did she become your apprentice?" Hongyan asked
"When I was young, I was a wandering swordsman, wandering around the world looking for interesting things. But 10 years ago..."
————Nix Island, Sicily ten years ago
At that time, Xia Lan was in his early 20s. His dream was to travel around the world, find what he liked, and become the greatest swordsman.
But one day, when he came to Nyx Island, he happened to encounter a black ship that trafficked people. At this time, he was hiding behind a huge rock and observing.
"The goods are here!!"
A guard with a gun on the island shouted, and a group of people and a large truck ran out from behind.
"There are quite a lot of goods today!" an old fox orc man got off the black ship and told the guard.
"I understand everything, bring it!"
A man next to him took out a box. The bright light that came out after opening the box almost blinded the old fox.
"This is the Saratu Magic Stone, which is priceless. So... where is your cargo?" the guard asked, closing the box.
"It's in the back!" The old fox pointed to a group of people in the back. They were pulling a large iron cage off the black ship. Several people came forward and looked at the unconscious girls. They were all dirty. His face was pale, and it was obvious that he had been miserable on the black ship.
"Why are there so many dying people? How can we explain this to Brother Kurokawa Yu?" the guard asked.
"Gifts...these dying ones are all given to old customers...hehehehe..." the old fox said with a smile
"...Forget it, let's deliver the goods!"
Just when the guard handed the magic stone to the old fox, a voice came quickly and took the magic stone away from the guard's hand.
"Who! Be bold!" The guards all picked up weapons, including guns, swords, and sticks.
"You are a bit immoral! Kidnapping girls from other countries and selling them to neighboring countries... You are really more evil than demons..." Xia Lan said to the traffickers while sitting on the roof of the truck with a box.
"Grandma, open fire!" All the guards with guns fired at Xia Lan, and soon the truck's head was turned into a hornet's nest.
"I said... have you heard of heroes saving beauties? Girls seem to like heroes very much!" Before the guards could even react, Xia Lan had already killed several of them. The knife in his hand was dripping with blood, which made other The guards with melee weapons did not dare to step forward.
"Who are you? How much money do you want? I can give it to you, so don't..." The old fox seemed to want to communicate with Xia Lan, but before he finished speaking, his fox head fell to the ground. Xia Lan picked up his head and raised it high. He roared at the others: "Hurry up and let these girls go! Otherwise you will all die!"
"yes!"
The frightened guards immediately picked up the key and opened the iron cage, and rescued all the abducted girls.
"Um...brother, that's all, can we leave?" the guard asked tremblingly.
"Leave? Who allowed you to leave?"
Xia Lan put everyone involved in the abduction into an iron cage and reported it to the local police. After a while, the police came to the scene. After confirming the matter, the police all took off their hats and reported to the local police. Xia Lan thanked him.
"Thank you sir, we have been looking for this criminal gang for a long time but have not been able to catch it. I didn't expect you to be so skilled, sir!" the policeman said.
"It's just a little effort, and I can't stand this kind of bastard!" Xia Lan said
"Yes sir, we will definitely punish these bastards severely. As for these girls, we will call the embassies of various countries to welcome them. Just don't worry!" the policeman said
"Well, thank you, I'll leave first!"
Just when Xia Lan was about to leave, a pink-haired girl ran out from the crowd of abducted girls. This was the young Reina. She ran forward and hugged Xia Lan tightly.
"Hey, what are you doing? Go back with the police to find your parents!" Xia Lan was confused.
"Be good, little sister, we will take you back to find your parents!" The police enthusiastically stepped forward to help Xia Lan pull the little girl away, but she hugged her even tighter.
"No... Mom, dad and sister... no longer want me..." Xiao Lingnai buried her head in Xia Lan's waist and cried, which made Xia Lan even more at a loss. After all, he was a homeless man who had been homeless for more than 20 years. Swordsman, how have you ever encountered such a thing?
"How about this, comrade police, let me take her back. It won't be easy to handle for a while, and you can't interfere with official duties." Xia Lan said
"Okay, sir, be careful!" After the police said that, they took the girls and the traffickers away. Xia Lan also took Xiao Linnai to a small restaurant. Xia Lan ordered a lot of delicious food for her. , Xiaolingnai, who had not been able to eat for a long time, immediately wolfed down the food after seeing so many delicious dishes.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you!" Xia Lan said
"Jiejie Zhuzhu (thank you, uncle), don't give me a drop of gray cloth (I will definitely repay you)!" Xiao Linnai said while eating.
"You're stuffing your mouth after eating! Don't choke to death here! Also, I'm only in my 20s, am I called Uncle Chicken Feather?" Xia Lan said
"Okay Uncle Chicken Feather!" Xiao Linnai shouted
"Um...what's your name?" Xia Lan asked
"Reina..."
"Lina...where is your home? I will take you home after dinner!" Xia Lan said
"..." Xiao Reina, who was showing off the food a second ago, suddenly stopped. After swallowing the food in her mouth, tears began to form in the corners of her eyes again.
"I...have no home...my sister doesn't want me anymore...wuwu..." Xiaolingna cried.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't cry! It's easy for people to misunderstand you!" Xia Lan was so frightened that she quickly comforted Xiao Linnai.
"Uncle...can I follow you? You seem to be a good person..." Xiao Reina asked after wiping her tears.
"Follow me? Do you know what I do? I don't even have a job, how can I support you?" Xia Lan said
"Renai knows how to work to support herself! My sister taught me how to do housework!" said little Renai.
"Ah...it's hard for me to deal with you like this..." Xia Lan was so tormented by Xiaolingnai that she was almost confused.
"That's right! I have to fight with those monsters and bad guys every day! Aren't you afraid that they will eat you?" Xia Lan wanted to scare the little girl in front of her back home, but not only did she not scare It only aroused her interest even more.
"Really? Reina also wants to beat up bad guys!" Xiao Reina said with eyes shining.
"Tsk... I thought a hero would save a beauty... I didn't expect to be targeted by a little kid... My damn charm..."
In the end, Xia Lan had no choice but to leave Lina alone, so he had to start a wandering life with Lina.
The two of them first came to the beach in order to have dinner today. After making sufficient preparations, the two of them headed towards the sea.
"Don't go too deep! It won't be fun if you drown!" Xia Lan said
"okay!"
"Then for today's dinner! Let's start catching fish!"
"oh!"
"Hey, look at those two savages, they are actually catching fish here!" said a passerby who was playing on the beach.
"It's really barbaric..." Passerby B said
Xia Lan and Reina fished until the evening, and finally sat down on the beach. Xia Lan lit up a bonfire, and grilled the fish caught in the sea with Reina on the beach.
"Well...even though there are only two of them, they can still support my stomach!" Xia Lan said with an embarrassed smile.
"Renai was very full just now, not very hungry!" Xiao Renai said
"Uh...I'm hungry! You, a little girl, ate my food for three days!" Xia Lan complained in her heart
"Reina wants to become stronger, will uncle teach me?" Xiao Reina asked while eating grilled fish.
"Becoming stronger? What do you want to do?" Xia Lan asked
"I want to be like my uncle! Beat the crap out of bad guys!" Xiao Reina said excitedly
"You want me to teach you... why don't you call me master first?" Xia Lan hesitated for a while and said
"master!"
