Extra: Meeting White Crow Again (Complete Text)
Fifteen years later.
A remote small town in the southern region.
A young man with black hair and black eyes vigilantly sensed his surroundings and only sat down in the tavern after realizing that there was nothing unusual.
He was wearing a red hoodie and a black cape. His black hair was mixed with a few strands of gray. His hair was not long, reaching his shoulders, and was tied up in a high ponytail.
He wore a red forehead protector that was two fingers wide, with some loose hair on both sides. I couldn't tell if the forehead protector was a decoration or a weapon, but he looked very youthful.
It was Ning Ren.
He was supposed to go to the Eastern Region, but no matter how lazy he had been over the years, his strength had now reached the Yang Realm, and he really wanted to go out and explore the world.
However, the Eastern Region is dominated by the Lanhuadis clan, which is very safe and everyone is very respectful to him. He feels very bored staying there, so he wants to slip away quietly this time.
The one who came to pick him up was his fifth sister, and some experts from the clan served as guards.
Ning Ren left a letter, feeling justified in standing up Fifth Sister. Presumably, Fifth Sister was very angry right now, and she couldn't be caught.
Otherwise, your life will be over.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"
The waiter was very considerate and handed over a menu.
Ning Ren: "Fruit wine, two side dishes, and a bowl of noodles."
Even when he grew up, he could only accept fruit wine, at least he wouldn't get drunk and pass out.
Shop assistant: "Okay! It'll be ready soon."
The waiter brought the wine first, and Ning Ren poured some into the glass.
He wore a black half-finger glove on his right hand, a gift from his second grandfather for checking if food was abnormal or spoiled. The glove didn't react, indicating the wine was fine.
Ning Ren took a bite.
His eyes lit up.
Delicious!
Unlike the mellow taste of the wine he had drunk before, the aroma of this fruit wine was very refreshing, a bit sharp, and very strong.
His food came and Ning Ren ate it with great gusto.
There was a sound of arguing in the corner, which became louder and louder. Ning Ren looked up curiously.
I saw a young man whose face I couldn't see clearly in the corner, who was pushed into the corner by the shop owner.
"You guys are really shameless. The last time I came here, I gave you too much money and you didn't give me the change. You asked me to ask for a free bill next time I come. How come you've turned against me in just two days?!" The man sounded like a teenager about his age.
Ning Ren slurped a mouthful of noodles.
Watch a show.
Shopkeeper: "What do you mean by extra money? I don't remember!" He patted the thug beside him, "Do you remember?"
Thug: "I don't remember."
Shopkeeper: “Look, no one remembers!”
The young man sounded quite annoyed, but he managed to control his temper. He sneered sarcastically, "Can't you buy food for your family? You're so anxious to rip off your customers. You don't even have a conscience!"
Ning Ren choked.
The shop owner was furious: "Catch him now! If you don't pay me today, don't even think about leaving this shop!!"
The young man shouted and threw many things: "Look at my special move!"
The others were startled and dodged quickly.
But what was thrown out were just a few pieces of tortoise shell, broken stones and dice.
When I looked again, the young man had already escaped and appeared several meters away.
The shopkeeper glared: "Chase him!!"
They chased after him with a rush of noise.
Ning Ren's eyes fell on the tortoise shell pieces and broken stones on the ground. For some reason, he felt an extremely familiar feeling in his heart. He drank the last sip of wine and picked up the things that had fallen on the ground.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly widened and he quickly left the tavern.
Outside.
The arrested teenager cursed, "Damn it! I lost my food and still got arrested! Bah! What bad luck!"
He looked up and raised his chin, showing no fear towards the ferocious-looking shopkeeper.
"Money is not as important as life. I advise you to do good deeds, otherwise you will have a miserable life in the future."
"Say another word, kid!" The shopkeeper raised his fist high!
Ning Ren: "Stop!"
The shopkeeper looked at him unfriendly, and was quite afraid of Ning Ren's attire and demeanor.
Ning Ren took a deep breath and didn't want to continue to argue, so he threw a silver coin over.
"Can we go now?"
The shopkeeper weighed it in his hand, turned around and smiled: "You are friends, why didn't you say so earlier?" He waved his hand and told the thugs to leave.
Ning Ren suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar.
When he was in Lanhuadis, he also saved a drunk who was beaten and depressed in a tavern.
The young man stood up and brushed off the dirt on his body. He had handsome features and a nice smile. "Thanks, brother."
Ning Ren threw his things over, "You just threw it."
The young man quickly caught them, counted them, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, fortunately, there are still some. I really met a kind person today."
"My name is Bai Ya, what's your name, brother?"
Ning Ren: "White Crow?"
He was surprised that his name didn't change after reincarnation.
White Crow shrugged. "My mother said that when I was born, many crows appeared, some white and some black. My tribe thought I was unlucky, so they called me White Crow. I don't care what they say. Anyway, it's good for me to be out on my own now."
Ning Ren: "Life is so short, it's pointless to worry too much about what others think."
Bai Ya's eyes lit up: "Really? Really? I think so too."
"To be honest, you looked familiar to me the moment I saw you. Maybe we even knew each other in a past life! What does it mean that we met now? It's fate!"
He came over with a smile, put his arm around her shoulder, and looked like a good brother.
"So, if we're destined to be together, I don't have to pay you back that silver coin, right?"
"..." Ning Ren laughed, "Yeah."
This guy had been eating and drinking for free at Lanhuadis for so long that he was used to it. He couldn't even count the amount of money he owed in his previous life, so he decided to forget it in this life.
"Are you going out on your own?"
"yes."
"How about adding me?"
"this……"
"I'll cover all the food expenses."
"make a deal!"
It took less than a second for him to go from hesitation to acceptance. Bai Ya had just started out and was still young and naive. While he was happy that he would have a meal ticket in the future, he remembered that he had not asked this person's name yet.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Ning Ren."
Ning Ren smiled and said, "Are we friends now?"
Ning Ren...
Bai Ya pondered the name for a while, then shook his head to get rid of the inexplicably familiar and friendly feeling. He felt very refreshed.
"Of course, new friend."
The two young men looked at each other and smiled.
From today on, the world has one more pair of partners who will travel the continent together.
Only sometimes, instead of the two walking side by side, there would be a lazy little hedgehog standing on the other boy's shoulder.
They made a lot of noise and traveled to many places.
The wind of the world blows through every corner. It has seen countless times and years pass by, but it will still gently stay for every friendship that is perfect or regretful.
