In the evening, in a small, isolated town in the heart of the Kurosawa Plain, six large men, their faces filled with ferocity, surrounded a man and a woman.
If this situation happened to an ordinary person, they would have been sweating profusely. But the boy in the circle was smiling happily.
"Wang Ersan Siwu Liuqi, the six of you, what do you want me to do for you today?" He laughed heartily, pulling a wooden cart with both hands. "What trouble have you gotten yourself into? Tell me! If I can help, I will."
However, a few big men laughed when they heard it.
"Jiu Si, Jiu Si, if your father were alive, he would definitely break your legs if you were like this."
"That's right, second brother. This kid hangs around all day doing nothing, but he keeps saying he wants to leave the Black Plains and be a hero, but he can't even kill a chicken. It's ridiculous."
"Haha." The big men burst into laughter when they heard this.
But Jiu Si's expression remained unchanged, with a smirk on his face. The other big men couldn't help but laugh under his gaze.
Jiusi was a household name in this small town. He was the son of the great hero Jiuding. But he lacked the heart of a strong man. He wouldn't even kill a chicken.
Moreover, he claimed to be a hero every day and caused trouble everywhere. It can be said that few people in the whole town liked him, even though he was pitiful and even though his father was once a hero.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
As the boss, I can't just stand there like a piece of wood, Wang Er spoke immediately.
"Jiu Si! You must pay me back what you owe me today! If you don't, hmph, we will definitely beat you up!"
As he said that, Wang Er waved his hand impatiently, and the five big men immediately approached and pretended to fight.
Facing the iron fists of several big men, Jiu Si remained calm. He narrowed his eyes, then suddenly gripped the wooden cart handle tightly, swung his tail like a dragon, and took a step forward, running away. This time, he knocked the big men down hard.
The sun was setting, and its afterglow shone on the town streets and on the boy's back. He just swaggered and rushed out of the encirclement.
Jiusi's mother died in childbirth, and his father died while hunting.
He always remembered his father's words.
"Xiao Si, your father was once a hero, blessed by the gods. However, he sacrificed his strength in the battle against the Demon King."
"Xiao Si, you must remember that you are my Jiu Ding's son. You are destined to be a hero! You are no less than anyone else."
"You can't be defeated by any difficulty! Anything!"
He tapped his feet quickly, and the wooden cart behind him creaked.
Despite the bumpy ride, the girl on the wooden cart showed no signs of waking up. She was dressed in red and white, lying flat on the tattered wooden cart.
The girl was tied up with a rope, so she didn't fall. Fortunately, otherwise she would have been very angry and the consequences would have been very serious!
Here, Wang Er looked at Jiu Si's back, then looked at his subordinates lying on the ground babbling, their faces as black as coal.
"Everyone, get up! Chase after them!"
When the big man lying down heard this, he gave up his lazy thoughts, crawled up half-dead, and started to chase after him.
…
As night fell, in the grove outside the city, the big men had been thrown off by them.
Jiu Si was tied to a wooden cart, the bonfire reflected on his face, and he was swaying.
"Hey! I picked you up." Jiu Si still looked calm, and he yelled weakly. "How can you repay kindness with enmity!"
Bai Ming, leaning against a tree, heard Jiu Si's words and said expressionlessly, "Don't bother. I won't untie you." After a pause, she continued amid Jiu Si's cries, "Although I was unconscious, I could still sense the outside world. You're a good person. I only have a few questions for you."
"Ask! Ask! The sooner you finish, the sooner you can go home and sleep!"
Bai Ming rolled his eyes. "Why were we the only ones on the street just now, along with those big guys?"
"Because it's still daytime! Why don't you stay home and sleep and go out for a walk? It could kill you."
"During the day... people will die..." Bai Ming thought of something, and his eyes became serious. "Was he swallowed by a black monster?"
Perhaps surprised that she knew, Jiu Si was stunned for a moment, but still replied: "Yes, we call it the Kurosawa Legion. They always appear during the day and disappear at night. Our ancestors even left behind a legend about it."
"What legend?" Bai Ming was a little anxious.
But Jiu Si didn't say anything at this time. He closed his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
Bai Ming gritted his teeth. "What will it take for you to tell me?"
"Untie your benefactor."
Bai Ming hesitated for a while, then went over and cut the rope with a knife.
"Hey! Can't you be gentle!" Jiu Si was so scared that he almost jumped up. "What if you hit me?!"
"No."
Jiu Si sat up, looked at the girl's unquestionable confidence, and finally shrugged and said, "I keep my word. I'll tell you now."
The bonfire crackled and the firelight shone on their faces, which was beautiful.
"A long time ago, there was a king in the Kurosawa Plain. After unifying the Kurosawa Plain, he traveled the world alone, eventually gaining the title of hero and being blessed by the gods."
"However, when King Kurosawa returned home, he learned the tragic news of his wife's death. He regretted his actions and blamed himself deeply. Gradually, he began to drink all day long."
"But later, Annajedo, the servant of the goddess of fate, came to the Kurosawa Plain. He told King Kurosawa that the goddess of fate could resurrect his wife."
"But there is one condition: he must seek out the Fallen Demon King and face his temptations. If he remains true to his heart and resists his temptations, he will have his wish fulfilled."
