my elf knows martial arts

After Xu Tian shouted for a while, the incandescent lights hanging outside a row of small wooden houses on the ranch turned on.

Power supply has always been a problem in such remote areas, so except for searchlights that steal electricity, almost all lighting facilities are incandescent lamps hung on the roofs of houses.

The row of houses in front of Xu Tian was even more outrageous. The light bulbs were hung with wires and fixed on the pillars with a few very cold screws.

As Xu Tian approached and the light bulb turned on, the wooden door creaked open.

A middle-aged man wearing an animal skin coat walked out of the house.

He has dark red hair with a slicked back hair style, revealing his very smooth hairline.

He is only a few centimeters shorter than Xu Tian, ​​has sharp eyebrows, and looks very serious even if his face is expressionless. A pair of leather shoes does not match what he is wearing.

"I just saw someone breaking in from the surveillance camera. I thought it was some illegal robber. Seeing that you called for help so blatantly, you must not be a robber, right?"

The man smiled. He looked Xu Tian up and down while wrapping his animal skin coat tightly around him. The cool evening breeze blew the man's temples and hair.

"But judging from the bloodstains on your body, I guess you are not an ordinary person. Please go back. You are not welcome here."

Xu Tian lowered his head and looked at the blood all over his body, especially the torn trousers and bloody skin on his right calf. He could understand the man's eviction order.

Anyone who looks like this would probably think twice about it.

"I'm really sorry. I'm actually a tourist from other places. I accidentally fell down the back mountain while visiting Honglian Volcano, and then I may have been injured by a hunter. After walking for so long, I want to ask you for some medicine and gauze. I don't know. Can you make it easier?" Xu Tian's words were very sincere.

As the saying goes, there are nine truths and one lie in lying. The best lying technique is to mix lies with the truth, and then say other things to confuse the audience.

Most of what Xu Tian said was true, except for one thing that was false, and that was that he knew what he was injured by, and Orion was just an excuse.

After the man heard "The Mountain Behind the Red Lotus Volcano" from Xu Tian's mouth, his eyes changed slightly, but he soon returned to the cold expression in his smile.

This was the man's most intuitive impression on Xu Tian. Although he always had a faint smile on his lips, the coldness was so real that Xu Tian felt a coldness rushing towards his face.

Maybe it was Xu Tian's words that moved him, or maybe it was for other reasons. There's no way of knowing. In short, the man changed his mind.

He picked out a folding table and several folding chairs from the groceries outside the wooden house, set them up at the door of the wooden house, then turned and entered the house. Before entering the house, he told Xu Tian: "I'm sorry for personal reasons, I can't let You come inside, but we can talk outside the house, and I will bring out the medicine for you."

Xu Tian nodded to express his understanding, and then helped the man arrange the tables and chairs outside.

After waiting for about a few minutes, the man walked out with a medicine box in one hand and a bottle of red wine and two quilts in the other.

"Come out and take a look. I found that the stars are beautiful today and it's suitable for drinking." The man smiled, placed the medicine box on the table, and handed Xu Tian an empty cup.

But Xu Tian shook his head: "Sorry, you can't drink while taking medicine. I may need to take some anti-inflammatory medicine later. I appreciate your kindness."

So the man stopped pushing. He shrugged and smiled helplessly. He poured himself a little red wine and said regretfully: "The best red wine has been around for 39 years. It should be from the 80s..." First of all, I forgot which manor it was, but it was just the southwest suburbs of the Carlos area."

The man talked freely, and it was obvious that he was very knowledgeable about this kind of luxury goods.

This made Xu Tian a little more confused. This kind of remote area seemed to be a starting ranch. How could there be such a generous owner who knew how to enjoy it?

Xu Tian didn't think that people who were so poor that they used incandescent lamps with modified circuits could just treat others to good red wine!

From the man's description, Xu Tian had almost guessed the origin of the bottle of red wine in front of him.

If the prototype of the Carlos region is France, there was only one vintage in France with the best grape harvest in the early 80s. The climate was suitable that year, and the red wine produced from the harvested grapes was well received by the red wine industry. In addition, its brand Bordeaux's reputation as the "Queen of French Red Wine" has caused the price of this red wine to rise by hundreds of millions.

And that year was 1982.

Being able to casually serve this kind of red wine to strangers whom they meet for the first time is probably the only person who can do such a thing, such as Benili.

"It has a wonderful smell, but I actually don't like wine that much. Firstly, I don't have time to change the bottle to sober up the wine. Secondly, the taste varies from person to person. I think this wine is full of flavor but slightly bitter, so it is only suitable for entertaining." The man took a small sip, then put down the glass and crossed his hands, looking at Xu Tian who was lowering his head to bandage the wound, his eyes were indescribably sharp.

"Can I take the liberty of asking, are you a trainer?" the man spoke.

Xu Tian raised his head and replied: "Yes, I am a trainer. I just embarked on an adventure not long ago."

"Ever gone to school?"

"No, my family is poor and I have no money to go to school, so I went out to work at a young age to reduce the burden on my family."

"Do you have any relatives at home?"

"My parents are still alive, and I have a very sensible sister." Xu Tian began to lie seriously.

The more a man behaved like a noble gentleman, the more Xu Tian felt that he was incompatible with the surrounding pastures, so he instinctively began to lie to confuse his eyes.

As a special correspondent of the Quartz Alliance, lying is a necessary skill!

Telling the truth about everything is not suitable for being an undercover agent.

The man was convinced, and then asked: "What's your name?"

Xu Tian spread his hands: "Although I am very grateful for your medicine, before asking others' names, would you like to introduce yourself first?"

The man was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "I was the one who was rude. Let me introduce you formally. My name is Gu. Just call me Lao Gu."

Xu Tian's face changed when he heard this, and his expression was a little twisted.

"Are you sure your name is this?" Xu Tian asked cautiously.

Lao Gu shrugged: "Why, is it weird that my last name is Gu?"

"It's nothing, you just want to be happy...I've bandaged the wound and taken the medicine. I'll give you the money for the medicine. If you have a chance, come and say thank you." Xu Tian stood up and was about to leave. This made him uncomfortable. It’s a good place to leave early.

Lao Gu didn't have anything to say to save him, it was just a chance encounter.

He returned the money on the table and said, "It's just a little medicine, just to make a friend... You haven't told me your name yet."

Xu Tian thought about it seriously and replied: "Saitama, please call me Saitama."

"Saitama...what a strange name. Compared to mine, your name is stranger." Lao Gu murmured.

Xu Tian smiled and didn't answer. It was originally a prank name, and it would be damned if Mr. Saitama was really here.

"Let's go! Nice to meet you, Lao Gu!" Xu Tian waved his hand and walked out of the pasture.

After bandaging the wound, Xu Tian was able to run back slowly, which was much faster than walking back with bruises before. He didn't have to worry about the wound getting infected if it wasn't treated in time.

Looking at Xu Tian's leaving figure, Lao Gu remained motionless in the bleak evening wind for a long time, his eyes narrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

A rapid ringing interrupted Lao Gu's thoughts.

He took the phone out of his pocket and put it to his ear.

"Hey... are you the boss? We were attacked just now in the back mountain. One of Team Plasma's Cyborgs... was destroyed. I'm sorry, but we couldn't catch the intruder. He injured many of our members and escaped. .”

Listening to the apologetic voice on the phone, a sincere smile appeared on Lao Gu's lips.

"It doesn't matter, I have already met him... Just proceed as planned. You go check to see if a trainer named Saitama has entered Guren Town. Ask Neiying to get the official tourist registration information, ferry and flight information of the Quartz Alliance. All... His background should be that of a new trainer, his parents are still alive, and he has a sister... His name may be homophonic. If you can't find it, look for the opposite information, such as being an orphan, having participated in competitions and won rankings. The kind that may have a younger sister.”

After Lao Gu handed over the task, he hung up the phone.

"Saitama...Saitama...isn't this your real name? But what does this name mean?" Lao Gu shook his head and turned back to the house.

He just took a sip of the bottle of fine red wine on the table and threw it into the trash can.
