In F City.
At the junction of F City and the capital city, there was a dilapidated old town. It was sparsely
populated, and the local people still maintained a relatively primitive state of life. Going to work at
sunrise and going home at sunset, and the villagers were quite simple and hospitable.
About 5 days ago, two tourists from other cities came to the town. The two tourists drove a big black
off-road vehicle over, and the materials and equipment in the car were very complete. They rented the
only local small hotel at the entrance of the town, and then gave the hotel owner a large sum of money
to let them leave the small hotel.
Therefore, there were only these two tourists in this small hotel.
The residents of the town were hospitable, and there had been no strangers for a long time. Even if
they came, they would only occasionally pass by here and live for one or two nights at most. They had
never seen such generous tourists who was going to live for a long time, so some villagers came to talk
to them from time to time.
After a while, everyone knew that these two people looked about 30 years old. One of them looked
quite gentle, with a pair of black thin glasses on the bridge of his nose. His voice was very low, and he
was very gentle and polite to others. He introduced himself as Barnes Gu.
The other man was totally different from Barnes Gu. He had white hair, with a bun at the back of his
head, and a black peaked cap on his head. He looked very gloomy and terrifying, and the children in
the village had to detour when they saw him.
Except for Barnes Gu, no one knew his name.
According to Barnes's introduction, the two of them were art teachers in a university of the city and
came to sketch. At first, the villagers didn't know what sketching was. After listening to his explanation,
they knew that the two were here to paint.
The villagers respected the teachers very much. Although the young man with white hair looked fierce,
Mr. Barnes looked harmless. Therefore, some of them sent some eggs, and some gave some local
specialties to the two for fear of starving them.
The night in the town came earlier than that in the city. After nightfall, there were almost no living things
in the street. Every household would turn off the light and sleep. The whole town seemed to fall asleep
completely.
Only the lights of the small hotel at the entrance of the town were still on.
In the daytime, Barnes went to the river and caught a fish. After carefully cleaning it up, he made a
braised fish and two dishes. Then he went upstairs to ask someone to come downstairs for dinner.
"Mr. Hogan, dinner is ready." Barnes was wearing a clean apron. He pushed his glasses and stood
there with a cold and abstinent expression.
On the sofa, the white haired man had already taken off his peaked cap. Under the dim yellow light, a
devil like angular face was faintly exposed. On that face, the man had a pair of incomparably coquettish
purple black eyes. If one didn't look carefully, they would think that he was wearing cosmetic lenses.
The man raised his eyes slightly and sneered, "Tut-tut... If Martin saw you like this, would he eat you on
the spot? "
Barnes said, "Mr. Hogan, you must be kidding."
The man chuckled, "You go to pack up. We will leave here tomorrow morning."
Barnes didn't feel surprised at all. He nodded, "Yes, Mr. Hogan. Where are we going next?"
Over the years, he had accompanied Hogan to almost all the cities in H country, including the streets
and alleys. Sometimes they would stay in a place for a long time, and sometimes they were just like
tourists passing by in a hurry. They had been to many cities, but missed all the cities.
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and something flashed in his eyes. Then, he said in a slightly hoarse
voice, "The capital city."
Hearing this, Barnes was stunned, "The capital city is his territory. He seems to have sensed something
recently. He has been sending people to trace your whereabouts, and the substitute can't hide it
anymore. Are you sure you want to go to such a dangerous place?"
The man's eyes were as cold as ice, and the air in the huge space was instantly frozen into ice.
The man snorted, with a little blood in his dark purple eyes. He said in a very cold voice, "she is in the
capital city."
Barnes said, "I have a question."
The man raised his eyes, which reflected different shades of light. One of his eyebrows slightly moved,
"Go ahead."
Barnes kept silent for two seconds. "In the past few years, I have accompanied you to travel all over
the country, from day to night, since I was a young man... Who are you looking for? Is it really so
important to you? Is it more important than your safety? "
Who was he looking for?
Was that person really so important to him?
The man's eyes were a little empty, and then he raised his eyes. There seemed to be a faint light
flashing in his dark purple eyes. He said in a slightly hoarse voice, "There is a person who is more
important than my life. Even if she might have forgotten who I am and even if she doesn't remember
that she has ever seen me, I still want to... Take her back to me. "
There was no reason or logic.
He just met her by chance. In her eyes, he might be just a stranger she saved by accident, but for him,
she was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
He had been looking for her for 21 years. From young to now, he was no longer the young and
inexperienced young man who used to be as useless as rubbish. In these long years, he had been cast
into an indestructible appearance by the wind, frost, blade and sword.
If they met again, would that person still recognize him?
Liuyun was always so cruel. Time flied. He had been looking for her and waiting for her for 21 years
alone.
Barnes kept silent for a long time. Under the white light glasses, he stared at the man without blinking.
After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Since I'm chosen by you, I'll take you as my master. Life and
death are naturally up to you. From now on, I will never say such words again."
The man slightly lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's good that you understand. You are a knife that I
have cultivated with my own hands. This knife can only be held in my hands for my own use,
understand?"
Barnes replied, "I know."
The man waved his hand and said, "Let's have dinner."
Barnes, "Okay, Mr. Hogan."
The man stood up from the sofa and walked downstairs slowly. It was not until then that Barnes saw
the black iPad he put on the sofa. On the screen, there was a stopped video interface, on which there
was a person, a girl.
The girl's arm was still bandaged. It seemed that her hand was injured, but her eyes were as bright as
stars.
This girl... Was it the girl Hogan had been looking for 21 years?
Barnes couldn't help but take a look at her, and then went downstairs with the man to have dinner.
