"Don't run!"

"You dare to steal something!"

"Don't let me catch it, I'm shattering your legs!"

...

On the streets of the small town, a ragged boy with a pair of pointed ears, holding a steaming bun in both hands. Regardless of the hot buffet being burned by the newly baked bun, his hands were rushing around the streets, and passers-by dodge them one after another.

Not far behind the boy, the fat guy in the bun shop chased him for a distance, but he was not as strong as the boy's feet after all. He held the wall, gasped heavily, pointed to the figure that was about to disappear in front of him, and cursed weakly: "Oh, I'm so tired, why did the little bastard run so fast? Don't let me see you next time..."

But a bun was stolen. After scolding for a few words, the guy was almost relieved. He left with his hands behind his back.

In the north of the city, an abandoned temple that had long been gone, the courtyard wall was peeling off, and only half of the door was left.

In the dilapidated temple courtyard, several teenagers in tattered clothes sat on the ground, staring at the old tree in front of them attentively.

The same ragged old man leaned against the tree, looked at the young people in front of him and said endlessly: "In the middle of the King's Continent, where the rich plains spread, there is a place called Chang'an, which is extremely prosperous and abundant..."

The teenagers who were suffering from war were fascinated by the war. Someone couldn't help asking: "I heard that any race on the mainland can live in Chang'an City and will not be bullied. Is it true?"

The boy had injuries on his face and his eyes were bruised, but his clear eyes were full of hope.

The other teenagers also looked at the old man.

These teenagers have faces similar to humans, but they are different from humans. Some of them have pointed ears and some have furry tails. On the King's Continent, there are humans and demon species, and they are mixed races between humans and demon species.

In this war-torn place, most of the civilians at the bottom are extremely difficult to live. They are dispersed and displaced due to war and their families. It is already difficult to just survive.

The old man held his already dim tail and said yearningly: "It's true, Chang'an is the best place in the world. There, all races can live in peace, there is no war and no hunger. You can rely on labor to exchange for food, and you can walk openly on the street without worrying about being arrested by the government..."

The teenagers listened to the old man's words and showed strong expectations on their faces.

A young man couldn't wait to ask, "Where is Chang'an?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "What do you ask about this? Chang'an is 100,800 miles away from here. You are likely to die on the road. It's better to stay here and at least be able to live..."

Outside the ruined temple, a petite boy with a pair of long and furry ears put a big ear against the wall, his lively eyes were filled with yearning, and he murmured: "Chang'an..."

He lay under the wall and listened for a while, looked up at the sun, stood up slowly, and walked towards a straw shed in the distance.

At this time, a figure came from a distance, stuffed a steaming bun into his hand, and urged: "Yuanfang, eat quickly, it's still hot..."

Yuan Fang swallowed, looked at her best friend, and asked in surprise: "Li Liang, where did this bun come from?"

The pointed-eared boy waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, eat quickly!"

Yuan Fang smelled the steaming and fragrant bun, and was about to open her mouth when she remembered something, she asked again: "Have you eaten?"

Li Liang waved his hand and said, "I've eaten it a long time ago. I've eaten several of them. You can eat it quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach made a gulp.

Yuan Fang looked at him and broke the bun in half. He handed the big half to Li Liang and said, "I can't eat such a big bun, so I can share half of it."

Li Liang patted his head and said, "Eat quickly, you are still growing, you should eat more."

Yuan Fang shook her head and said, "Then I won't eat it anymore, I'd better leave it to my younger brother and sister."

Li Liang looked at him and said helplessly: "Every time you leave your things to your younger brothers and sisters, and you also want to eat some of them. See how you are thinner. You are their elder brother. If you don't grow up well, how can you protect them in the future..."

Although this bun was originally given to Yuan Fang, he also knew that with Yuan Fang's stubborn temperament, he would not be able to eat it if he didn't eat it.

Li Liang took half a bun from Yuanfang's hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it voraciously, and said to Yuanfang: "You can eat it now, right?"

Yuan Fang only ate the other half. After eating, Li Liang said, "Let's go, the vegetable market is about to close. Let's go and pick up some food before they close the stall. There will be no buns to eat tomorrow..."

The two teenagers wrapped their ears with the rag they picked up and came to the vegetable market. Here, people picked up the rotten vegetable leaves that they didn't want and threw them on the ground casually. The two picked up the vegetable leaves that had not been stepped on and put them in their arms. This is their food today.

They were lucky today and picked up a full bag, which should be enough for two days.

Holding these foods and walking on the street, seeing someone eating pork with a copper pot in a small stall on the side of the road, smelling the fragrance coming from the side, Li Liang and Yuan Fang couldn't help swallowing.

Li Liang lingered at that direction a few times, then patted Yuan Fang's head and said, "When I have money in the future, I will invite you to eat shabu shabu. We will eat shabu shabu every day..."

Yuan Fang was looking forward to it and asked again: "But how can we make money?"

In this war-torn place, it is already difficult to live, let alone find a job to make money.

Li Liang shrugged and said, "I don't know either."

Yuan Fang suddenly remembered something and said, "They said that Chang'an is the most prosperous and richest place on the continent, and the demon seeds can live there, there is no war, and they won't go hungry. I think I will definitely find work there..."

Li Liang looked at him and asked, "Where did you hear it?"

Yuan Fang shook her big hairy ears and said, "Many people have said that the old man in the ruined temple, the shopkeeper of the West Street Shabu Shabu Restaurant, and the waiter of the East Street Bun Shop..."

His big ears are not just decorations. Countless news comes to his ears every day. Although he lives in this small town, he has learned a lot of knowledge outside the small town from people's mouths.

"Chang'an..."

Li Liang whispered these two words softly, and a look of longing appeared in his eyes. At one moment, he clenched his fists, as if he had finally made a decision. He turned to Yuan Fang and said, "I plan to go to Chang'an. Do you want to go together?"

Yuan Fang also yearned for Chang'an, but hesitated, and said, "My younger brother and sister are still too young. I want to wait until they grow up before going with them."

Li Liang touched his furry ears and said with a smile: "Then I'll take the lead first. When I'm making a breakthrough in Chang'an, you come here again. At that time, I'll give you a big house and treat you to sauté every day..."

Yuan Fang thought of the scene depicted by Li Liang and said with a smile: "Okay!"

Li Liang stretched out his finger to him and said, "You must come to me, pull the hook..."

Yuan Fang stretched out her little finger and hooked it with his little finger, saying, "Click the hook, raise it, and it will not change for a hundred years!"

Two close friends who grew up together made a vow on the streets of the small town.

The sunset that was about to set brought their shadows very long.

One month later.

Outside the small town, Li Liang carried a small bag on his back and waved to Yuan Fang, saying, "Go back, don't send it..."

Yuan Fang walked up to Li Liang, handed him a wooden sign in his hand, and said, "This is the peace talisman that my mother gave me before. It will bless you to safely go to Chang'an."

Li Liang took the wooden sign, thought for a while, and untied a red rope around his neck. A pointed wolf tooth was tied to the red rope.

He held Yuan Fang's hand, put the wolf teeth pendant in his hand, and said, "This is left to me by my father and I'll give it to you. I must come to Chang'an to find me in the future."

Yuan Fang held the pendant tightly, wiped her eyes, and said, "Peace all the way."
