messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 123 I was also afraid of thunder when I was a child
The two spent the night in the carriage on the side of the street. The weather had just entered late autumn, and the wooden boards of the carriage were cold and hard. They took a first look at Mann who was lying beside him, drooling and sleeping soundly, and shook his head. It is not known how he fell asleep.

"Hey." Mann turned over, with a smirk on his face, talking in sleep: "Gold coins."

This kid really thinks about money no matter what, but is this greed? Most people in the world should be greedy.

Chu shrugged his shoulders, leaned against the carriage, and closed his eyes.

At this time, Mann said again: "In the beginning, we were half of each other."

······
Chu woke up Mann when the sky started to light up.

This kid slept very deeply. Chu kicked him several times before he woke up faintly. Judging by his unwillingness to wake up, he must have had a sweet dream last night.

But no matter how beautiful the dream is, they should wake up, and they should set off. If they want to become the richest people on this continent, they won't earn any gold coins by staying here.

Just after dawn, a carriage drove out of the city. According to Mann, this city is called Lanser City, and he wandered here when he was very young.

When he was about to leave, Mann was still lying on the side of the carriage, looking seriously at the gradually receding city, and waved his hand.

He has lived in this city for many years. It can be said that he is very familiar with every street. This should be his hometown, if the city is willing to admit him as an orphan.

But whether the city admits it or not, Mann will remember this place, and one day, he should also return here.

He's an orphan, but doesn't want to be truly homeless either.

The carriage was driving on the dirt road in the countryside outside the city, and it was somewhat bumpy.

Pulling the rein at the beginning, the clothes on her body have changed into the appearance of a merchant's assistant.

"So?" Chu Yong evil asked casually, "Where are we going next?"

"Go west." Mann withdrew himself from the outside of the carriage and sat on the seat: "We are going to collect our first shipment."

He once heard a merchant say that the first batch of goods is very particular. If the principal is small, the road to the west is the safest. Collecting a car can keep food for a long time, and then transport it to the westernmost city for sale. Taking advantage of the autumn to walk a few more times can earn several times the money.

As for why, because autumn in the west is always short of food.

The warm sunshine, the shaking trees, the soft dirt road, the stones on the side of the road, and the green grass.

While driving the carriage, Chu silently perceived the passing scenery, even the passing weeds.

This was the first world she experienced after recovering her memory, and she unconsciously paid attention to every detail.

Mann should be a little bored, he rummaged in his pocket, and then took out a harmonica.

He casually blew the dust on it, narrowed his eyes, and blew it by his mouth.

The harmonica made a sound like the wind on the road, melodious, mixed in the wind and floating on the road, there will always be people humming such tunes in the taverns in Lanser City.

The businessman left his hometown, and the journey carried a little leisure and nostalgia.

After a piece of music was played, the city of Lancer in the distance was almost invisible.

"Chu." Mann asked, half lying on the carriage while holding a harmonica.

"Where is your hometown?"

Chu was stunned for a moment, she didn't know which one to answer, and after a while, she gave a vague answer.

"A place where there is nothing."

Whether it was the Apostle Wasteland or her original hometown, there was nothing left for her.

"Is there nothing?" Mann pursed his lips, then smiled.

"Don't worry, we can buy anything after we make money."

The richest man in the world can have everything, he thinks so.As a partner, he is willing to share all this with Chu.

It can only be said that he is still a child after all.

Chu didn't answer, because she knew that there would always be some things that money couldn't buy, but people's greed couldn't be satisfied.

She is the same, but her greed is helpless.

The two walked westward for a whole day, and Mann bought a map. According to the map, they should reach a small village after two days of walking, and Mann planned to receive the goods in that small village.

After nightfall, the two wanted to light a fire and spend the night by the side of the road, but a thunderstorm suddenly fell in the sky, and they had to sit in the carriage for the night.

But this night, Mann couldn't sleep so soundly like last night.

"Boom."

A burst of thunder resounded in the air, and crackling raindrops hit the carriage.

In the carriage, Mann hugged his arms and huddled against the wall. Every time there was a sound of thunder, his face would turn pale and tremble.

"Are you afraid of thunder?"

Chu sat on the other side, looking at Mann with interest, she thought that a kid like him should be very courageous.

"Who, who said it."

Mann was trembling, his speech was a little awkward, and there was no blood on his lips.

It was dark and thundery, and it reminded him of that night long ago.

"Boom!"

There was another thunder, and Mann closed his eyes, trying his best to control his trembling body.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a cold body sitting beside him.

He opened his eyes and saw Chu stretched out a hand, half-embracing his shoulder.

A cold chin rested on his forehead, and he said warmly.

"Okay, don't be afraid."

It's just that the voice of sin is very hoarse, without any gentleness.

Mann felt his face burn and tried to break free, but another burst of thunder stopped him.

"Don't treat me like a child."

He complained in a low voice, but his trembling body was not convincing,

Chu didn't speak, and sat beside him silently.

After a long time, Mann's trembling body gradually settled down.

In the darkness, the boy lowered his eyes and said softly.

"Thank you."

"It's okay." Chu put his arms around his shoulders and smiled.

"We're partners, aren't we?"

······
One night many years ago, a businessman brought his family to the outside of Lanser City with goods.

The businessman told his family that he would sell the goods quickly and make a fortune, and he would buy a new dress for his wife and toys and sweets for his children.

But they met a group of robbers, who robbed their goods and killed the adults, only one child escaped and ran into the city of Lanser.

It was a thunderstorm night, and even now, the child can't forget the thunder roaring in his ears.
