The end of the day is a dump

Copperbeard County is located in the southwest of Fort Hammer. It is an underdeveloped city, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is backward.Although the road there is spacious enough, the land beside the road is full of potholes, and there are no plants on the land. The air is filled with invisible dust, and they are like ghosts flying in the whole town.

The houses under the ghosts are also very old, and they look like products of the civilization era. They exposed the red walls after the outer walls fell off, and the thick curtains isolated the world outside the window from the inside of the house. In and out of such an environment.Occasionally, I saw one or two pedestrians on the street, and they also wore weird masks on their faces, trying to use these masks to pass through the polluted air.You can't see the blue sky or the green land here, only the long dragon-like mine carts, they rumble away, and come back rumble, as if there is no end...

It is sluggish and lifeless, like a huge garbage dump, poor and dirty.

But who would have thought that the owner of this piece of land is a rich and oily guy. In the country of gold and metallurgy, a country whose main industry is the export of ore, the output of copper mines in Tongxu County has been one of the best in recent years.The family of the Earl of Copperbeard County holds the mining rights here and has occupied this place for six generations.Here, everyone hates them, everyone fears them.

Wuxue closed the curtains and turned off the dirty world outside the window. She has been observing for almost half a day today, and she has gained almost nothing except to make her mood worse.

The experienced hunter sat back on the sofa by the fireplace. She took out her notebook and simply recorded some useful information. It has been a week since she came to Bronzebeard County, and the things she recorded were only a few pages.

From the day she received Weino's mission until today, apart from a lot of purchases and preparations, Wuxue didn't do much in these ten days. She just stayed on the web like a spider, waiting for his prey.As for the reason, it was simple and even ridiculous, because she couldn't find a chance to enter the Earl's Palace.

The mansion of the Earl of Copperbeard County is still a long way from his fief, where the upper wind and the water, the air and the land are full of life, only a hundred kilometers away, but it is like heaven and hell.This family not only sucks the blood of this land, but also nibbles at its only beauty.

The more greedy people are, the more cautious they are. Perhaps they are afraid that the people will overthrow them one day. Therefore, the defense of the Earl's Mansion can be described as strict as a prison, but the people imprisoned in the prison are outside, and they are free inside.

It was such a strict defense that made Wuxue make such a foolish decision.Since he must not be able to get in, but the other party will definitely come out.

The room Wuxue chose happened to be the only way from the Earl's Mansion to the mine. According to Wei Nuo's information, the Earl of Copperbeard County was still walking around the crown prince at this time. If the mining industry in Copperbeard County is to proceed normally, there must be someone To sit at home, the earl has no brothers and no heirs, which means that only the countess will take care of it.

That is the best time to start.

During the time she came to Bronzebeard County, besides constantly looking for useful information, Wuxue also used this time to train Luo Shisan's ability. This time she took the deposit to buy There are a lot of equipment, and Luo Shisan has to get to know them one by one.But during the training process, Luo Shisan always gave her surprises one after another, but this surprise gradually turned into a little uneasiness, and even a little fear.

"Wuxue, what are we doing today?" Luo Shisan walked up to Wuxue and poked the tail.

Wuxue closed the notebook, but she first looked at the table behind Luo Shisan. All the weapons on it were polished and neatly arranged according to the firepower, but Wuxue was not happy about it.

On the first day when they stayed here, Wuxue showed these weapons to Luo Shisan one by one. At first, Luo Shisan only held them in his hands curiously, but gradually Luo Shisan began to play with them. , She seems to be very familiar with every gun, opening the safety, loading the weapon, disassembling the bullet, every step is extremely proficient, as if she is the real master of this weapon.

Wuxue still remembers that when she got a certain weapon, she actually pronounced its name—the Eye of Caesar.She clearly remembered that she had never shown that weapon to the other party, because she bought it with the deposit from Wei Nuo, and she firmly believed that Luo Shisan would never have seen that weapon in a place like the Red Iron Plain.

Then... where did Luo Shisan know about it?

During this period of time, Wuxue also seriously recalled all the encounters with Luo Shisan. There are indeed many strange things. How did she find herself in Ye Lily Paradise?Who killed those people in Skok's family?How did the death of the monitor lizard go about in detail? Every time Luo Shisan was asked about it, he always didn't know anything, and sometimes even groaned in pain.

In the end, Wuxue could only shake her head and give up those questions, and spent more than a month with Luo Shisan. She really didn't look like she was pretending. Wuxue would rather believe that she really couldn't remember those things, rather than a liar .

"Wuxue, how about you? What are we doing today?" Seeing that Wuxue was distracted, Luo Shisan asked again.

Wuxue came back to her senses, she looked at Luo Shisan and replied seriously: "In this week, you have learned what I have learned in a year, I... really don't know what I should ask you to do today."

"Really?" The unknown so-called Luo Shisan thought that Wuxue was really praising herself, but smiled: "Does that mean that I will definitely become an excellent hunter like you?"

Wuxue didn't answer directly, she asked instead: "Have you ever thought that you might be an excellent hunter yourself?"

Luo Shisan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "This... I haven't thought about it."

"Then have you ever thought about who you were before you lost your memory? Where is your home? Will your family worry about you?" Wuxue tried to guide Luo Shisan to recall.

Shaking his head again: "No."

"Then you want to know?" Wu Xue asked.

Luo Shisan looked up and thought for a while, then sighed: "I don't want to."

"Why?" Wu Xue asked.

Luo Shisan looked at Wuxue, his expression was very tangled, and finally he loosened his brows and continued: "I thought about it before, the nuns also took me to test the DNA, as you can see, I am a black household. Red There are quite a few black households in Iron Wasteland, and they all have one thing in common, they were all abandoned by their parents when they were young...so..."

"So you are worried that you were also a child abandoned by your parents?" Wu Xue asked cautiously, and Luo Shisan's guess was not wrong. In this world, except for the dead, the only children who have been abandoned since birth .

"Actually, there's nothing to worry about." Luo Shisan grinned: "I can't remember anyway, so it's better to live happily now. If the memories are all painful, then I'm not at a big loss."

Thirteen witty changed the subject again: "Okay, let's think about what we are going to do today."

Wuxue didn't ask any further, no matter what Luo Shisan had experienced, she believed that at least the other party was kind now, and if it were herself, she would not want to recall those childhood experiences, those memories were like the dirty water outside the window. The air has been permeating, never dissipating.

"Rest today."

When it comes to rest, Luo Shisan is at a loss. Whenever she has free time in the past, she will definitely take Wuxue to the market. She is very curious about everything, looking around, asking around, and teasing the cat. Dog, but Bronzebeard County is really not a place suitable for fun, even if you go downstairs, you have to wear a heavy mask.

Luo Shisan reluctantly walked behind Wuxue, but Wuxue's footsteps were a little anxious, and she didn't want to follow, so she tried every means to be careful, saying that she couldn't breathe, and complaining that she was tired from walking. I have pretended to be crazy five or six times before reaching 500 meters.

"Why didn't you leave again?" Wu Xue looked at Luo Shisan who was sitting on the ground and frowned.

"Didn't you say you had a rest? Why did you come out to collect information again?" Luo Shisan said, she was extremely smart, and Wuxue was in a hurry as if she was going to collect information.

"..." Wuxue originally wanted to take a walk to exercise her body, but she suffered from an occupational disease while walking. She was too lazy to explain, so she said: "Who said just now that you want to be an excellent hunter like me, I will arrange for you to do it." That's it."

"..." Accustomed to choking on Wuxue, it was the first time Luo Shisan was choked by Wuxue, but he swallowed a mouthful of thick phlegm and couldn't even spit it out.

"Don't dawdle, come here." Wuxue stretched out her hand like greeting a small animal.

Wuxue knew that this trick was useful, and Luo Shisan immediately jumped over like a little guinea pig, holding both hands warm and secure.

"Wuxue, you're actually taking the initiative to hold me now." Luo Shisan smiled, and her smug laughter could be heard through the mask.

"..." Wuxue was speechless, her face turned red behind the mask, she stayed with Luo Shisan for too long, and she didn't notice it at all.

"Let go, don't hold me anymore, let's go by myself." Wuxue shook off Luo Shisan's hand, but was immediately held by Luo Shisan again.

"No, it's so foggy here, I can't see the way." Luo Shisan said.

"..." Sometimes Wuxue really wants to figure out why Luo Shisan is always clinging to her. She is like a gummy candy that she can't even shake off, but it seems that this gummy candy is quite sweet.

The dirty air in the city made the roads blurred, and under the heavy masks, the two couldn't see each other's faces, and even made it difficult to talk, but even holding hands tacitly, they didn't seem to let go.

"Thirteen," Wuxue said suddenly, "What kind of person did you say you were before?"

Luo Shisan stopped in his tracks: "I don't want to know. I don't want you to ask any more."

Wuxue seldom felt the seriousness of Luo Shisan, which was completely different from the feeling she had after killing the giant lizard that day. The seriousness of that day was like another person, but today's seriousness seemed to be that of Luo Shisan directly. serious.

"Okay, don't ask anymore." Wuxue promised.

"Where are we going today?" Luo Shisan changed the subject, if Wuxue was really going to investigate, then there must be a goal.

Wuxue looked at the huge trucks beside her, and she replied, "The mine."
