This is a small village with a small population.
There are only a dozen or so households scattered across this land.
Under the non-glaring sunlight at dusk, you can see smoke rising from the sky above each household.
"Yan'er, Yan'er."
In a dilapidated wooden house, a woman who had just prepared dinner walked out of the house and called her daughter's name.
There were some patches on the woman's clothes, which showed that the family was not very wealthy.
"Mom."
A little red-haired girl with a ponytail heard the woman's call and happily ran to the woman from the grass not far away.
She wiped the mud on her face and smiled, "It smells so good."
"Today we have braised pork that Yan'er likes, and dad will be back today."
The woman took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the little girl's face, "Our family hasn't eaten together for a long time."
When the little girl with red hair and ponytail heard this, she jumped up with a "wow" sound.
She held her mother's hand and kept asking: "Dad is coming back.
Where is he now?
I'm going to pick him up."
"Haha, Xiao Yan'er has become sensible."
The woman wiped the mud off the girl's face and smiled, "But dad and the others have to come from the other side of the mountain.
The sun should have set by the time they come back, little It’s better for Yan’er to wait for her father at home with her mother.”
"Oh, okay."
After hearing what her mother said, the little girl looked a little depressed and walked into the wooden house with her head pulled up.
The sun was setting in the west, and the dark but starry night gradually covered the originally warm orange-red sky.
Every household in the small village lit up lights at home, and each family sat together happily to eat dinner.
"Dad, you're so slow.
It's dark outside and you haven't come back yet."
The little girl picked up a piece of braised pork and dangled it in her mouth.
She seemed to want to eat it but not want to eat it, pouting in a very conflicted manner.
"Xiao Yan'er, if you're hungry, eat first.
Dad should be back soon."
The woman said to the little girl with a smile, but the glances she occasionally turned to the door showed that she was also looking forward to her husband getting home soon.
The furnishings in the wooden house are very simple.
A few wooden boards are used to separate the space in the house.
Next to the bedroom is the kitchen, and a wooden table is placed in the middle of the kitchen.
There are two or three dishes on the wooden table, of which the one that looks the best The most expensive thing is probably the steaming braised pork, because this is the only meat dish.
"Dad, are you not coming back?"
The girl's voice seemed a little weak, and it was obvious that she was very disappointed that her father had not returned yet.
"No."
The woman rubbed her daughter's hair and said softly, "He will be back soon."
The lights flickered, and the mother and daughter sat at the dining table, waiting quietly for the return of their husband and father, whom they had not seen for a long time. but After covering her daughter with a quilt, the woman walked to the kitchen and started to put away the cold dishes.
Seeing the fat of the braised pork solidifying due to the cold, the woman who had been smiling gently sighed.
"Squeak."
The woman had just picked up the dishes and was about to put them away when the sound of the old wooden door being pushed open suddenly came from behind her.
The woman was startled at first, then seemed to think of something, and quickly turned around to look at the door.
It was late at night, and the lights of every house in the village were turned off, but the moonlight and starlight were extremely bright.
In this night, the woman could clearly see the appearance of the man standing outside the door.
The man was burly, but his face showed hard-to-conceal fatigue, but his eyes shone with excitement, which was the joy of seeing his wife.

"Why are you so late?"
The surprise on the woman's face could not be concealed, but there was still a hint of reproach in her tone, "Yan'er has gone to bed without eating anything in order to wait for you."
"I don't want to, but a noble over there lost something.
As a result, our team searched for a long time in the mountains and almost couldn't come over."
The man walked into the room.
He was wearing armor and still had some dirt on his body.
He Ye, panting, looked exhausted, "I'm so sorry, Yan'er has fallen asleep?"
"You were lying in bed just now.
Do you want to wake her up?
She hasn't seen you for a long time."
The woman stepped forward and smiled, "You look really sloppy now.
Go change your clothes."
"Let Yan'er sleep.
I'll go and see her before leaving."
The man waved his hand and said softly, "I ran out secretly.
The team changed their original plan and stayed on the mountain for one night before moving on. , I want to rush back right away."
"Hey" the woman was stunned.
"Sorry, but after this mission is completed, I can apply to be transferred to the city as a guard."
The man gently put his hand on the woman's shoulder and comforted, "We will be able to live a more comfortable life soon.
Sorry, I'm sorry for Yan'er, but please bear with me."
"But you haven't spoken to Yan'er for two years, and she coughs."
The woman was a little excited and suddenly started coughing before she finished speaking.
"Why are you getting excited again?"
The man quickly supported the woman and scolded, "You are too weak to get excited."
"But" the woman wanted to say something else, but after looking at the man's embarrassed look, she stopped talking, "Forget it, you haven't eaten yet.
Bring some over later.
Is there anything you can eat on the mountain?
” "Well, then I'll go see Yan'er."
The man nodded and let go of his wife.
"Squeak" The door was gently pushed open.
It was summer and the room was a little stuffy.
The man crept over and opened the window.
The cool wind blew in, slightly dissipating the stuffy feeling in the room.
The moonlight through the window shone on the face of the girl on the bed, and the man could clearly see his daughter's lovely face.
The man stood at the head of the bed, looking at his daughter who seemed to be having an unpleasant dream, with a slightly painful expression.
He stretched out his hand as if to smooth the frown between her eyebrows, but his hand stopped midway.
The man focused on his hands, then withdrew his hands and wiped his body, but it seemed that he thought that there was no clean place on his body, so he gave up on wiping his hands.
"Squeak."
The door was gently closed, and the only sound left in the room was the girl's uneven breathing.
After a while, the girl on the bed opened her beautiful eyes, but they were full of dissatisfaction.
"What does it matter if you touch me, idiot?"
"Hmm."
Yan Yuyan opened her eyes and saw pure white bed curtains.
This is her own room.
As the daughter of a general in the city, it is filled with gorgeous decorations and pink girly colors that she likes.

Turning his head and looking out the window, it seemed that it was still late at night.
"Is this a dream?"
Yan Yuyan murmured to herself, "How long has it been since I dreamed of my mother?"
In General Yan's mansion.
"Alice, did you encounter something?
Why did you stop in one place?"
Dolank pushed open the door of General Yan's Mansion and walked in.
However, what surprised him was that the General's Mansion seemed to have changed. , it should have been a corridor, but now there is a pitch-black space in front of Dolank, and it seems that the entire space is chaotic within the scope surrounded by the death energy.
However, the vitality induction and temporary dialogue magic circle can still be used normally, and Dolank can still feel Alice's whereabouts.
"It's not that I want to stop, but there is a very strange bamboo forest here."
Alice's voice reached Dolank's ears through the temporary magic circle, "And it seems that you can't break through this bamboo forest.
Anyway, you come here first.
Just know.”
"Bamboo Forest" Dolanke was stunned, but Alice didn't say much and had to go over first.
"Annie, are you there?"
Dolanque called.
"Yes," Annie's voice sounded next to Dolank, "It's so dark in here, where are you?
I just tried using the lighting technique, but it didn't seem to work."
This is natural.
The General's Mansion is completely enveloped in death energy.
Only when level one light magic can be used can there be ghosts.
Moreover, if ordinary people like Annie Yan Hanyu stay here for a little longer, they will be eroded by the death energy like the soldiers guarding the Wailing Cave, causing their vitality to weaken.
But with Dolanque and Alice here, how could this situation happen?
"Let's go, Alice is waiting for us in front."
Dolank shook his right hand, and the death energy in the entire space seemed to be dispersed by something at that moment.
"You can use lighting now, follow up."
I."
"Oh, it's true."
Suddenly a bright light appeared next to Dolank, and Annie's surprised voice sounded, "Okay, let's go, go."
"Remember to follow me closely, otherwise you will easily get lost."
Dolanque turned around pretending to be cool, preparing to leave Annie with a handsome back.
"Hmph, you, a road idiot who can get lost in the city, have the nerve to say this."
Annie snorted suddenly and said.
Dolanque stumbled, then looked behind him with embarrassment, "How did you know?"
"Sister Alice told me that you will get lost in Chaos City.
You are no different from a little kid.
How can you pretend to be handsome."
Annie's laughter echoed in the dark space.
"How can you expose all my background?
Alice is such a bitch," Dolanque muttered in a low voice.
But when he finished complaining, he suddenly realized something, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
"Oh, I'm a bitch, aren't I?"
Alice's voice sounded flat, "Haha."
Disaster is coming
