Snow is as soft as clouds and as white as jade.

Crystal clear snowflakes were flying in the sky, the streets were covered with snow, and the houses were covered with snow. The whole earth turned into a silver-white world.

Gu An rode the little mare Ferrari, leaving a series of footprints on the snow. He chewed soft bread in his mouth. Gu An stared ahead. The sky and the earth were completely the same color, as if covered with a thin layer of white.

carpet.

Suddenly, a little boy of five or six years old ran up to Gu An with short legs and stretched out his two little hands that were red and cold to stop Gu An.

Gu Anle stopped the little mare, jumped off the horse, looked at the little boy whose face was red from the cold, and had two runny noses, and asked: "Kid, what's the matter with you? Why are you blocking me?

the way?”

Seeing that Gu An was not angry because he was blocking his way, the originally uneasy, nervous and scared expression on the little boy's face turned into joy, and then this joy turned into the hope of clinging to the last straw.

…

This was the first time that Gu An saw such a complicated expression on a child's face. Gu An decided to ask the little boy what happened to him, and if he could help, then he would take action!

Gu An said softly: "Child, do you need my help with anything? You can tell me, if I can help you, I will not refuse you."

After hearing Gu An's words, the little boy burst into tears. The suppressed crying made people feel unbearable just by listening to it.

"Uncle...uncle, you are...a demon hunter, I beg you...save...my dad, please...save my dad!"

The little boy burst into tears and spoke intermittently, but Gu An still heard it clearly and frowned. Gu An walked up to the little boy and gently wiped away the tears on his face with his hands.

"Okay, it's okay, don't cry, tell me what happened to your dad first, and I will help."

Gu An was like warm sunshine. Under his comfort, the little boy slowly calmed down and told Gu An what happened to his father.

The little boy only had a father but no mother. His mother became seriously ill when he was five years old. His father spent all the family’s money but did not cure his mother. Later, the little boy’s father told the little boy

, his mother became a star in the sky.

So the little boy began to live with his father. In order to earn more money to raise the little boy, his father not only did odd jobs in the town, but also went hunting in the nearby mountains.

Just two days ago, the little boy's father went into the mountains to hunt with two people from the village. Then the other two people came back, but the little boy's father did not come back. That day, the little boy was alone at home and sat at the door.

I waited all night and cried all night.

Gu An listened to what the little boy said. Apparently there were three people going hunting together, but one of them had an accident. The other two were fine. The first thought that came to Gu An's mind was that the little boy's father had discovered something good in the mountains.

, then the other two people became jealous, so they joined forces and killed the little boy's father directly.

"Do you know what happened to your father and the others in the mountains? Why did the other two come back, but your father didn't?" Gu An said.

"I don't know," the little boy shook his head blankly, a little at a loss.

Gu An frowned, feeling that his idea was very likely. He reached out and rubbed the child's warm head.

"Let's go, take me first to find the two people who went into the mountain with your father. Let's go find out what happened on the mountain."

"Okay!" When the little boy heard Gu An's words, he seemed to have a backbone. He subconsciously stretched out his small hand to hold Gu An's big hand, but halfway through, he retracted his hand, appearing cautious.

Seeing the little boy's appearance, Gu An couldn't help but sigh. A little boy of this age should be fearless and a naughty boy who can cause trouble everywhere, but the little boy is so sensible that it makes people feel heartbroken.

Gu An took the initiative to reach out and take the little boy's cold little hand. When the little boy raised his head and looked at Gu An in surprise, he showed a gentle smile.

Being held by Gu An's hand, the little boy became obviously much happier. He pulled Gu An and trotted almost all the way with his short legs to guide Gu An.

The little boy was holding Gu An, and Gu An was holding the little mare Ferrari. This strange pairing attracted the attention of many villagers in the village, especially when they saw Gu An's demon-slaying sword hanging beside the saddle.

, they looked at Gu An with both fear and disgust in their eyes.

The little boy took Gu An to a small red brick house. Gu An first let go of the little boy, and then tied the Ferrari to the hitching post on the side.

Then, Gu An and the little boy knocked on the door of the small red brick house. After knocking less than three times, a particularly unhappy voice of a man came from inside.

"Who is it? Knocking on the door so early in the morning!" There was a rustling sound of getting dressed, and then the sound of shuffling footsteps.

With a creak, the door was opened, and a tall and thin man who was a little slovenly looked at Gu An with some doubts. However, when he saw the little boy standing next to Gu An who was clearly at a loss but pretending to be calm, the tall and thin man's

There was an unnatural expression on his face.

The change in this expression was very subtle, and in just a blink of an eye, the tall and thin man's face was filled with only the displeasure of being woken up in the morning and the wariness of facing the stranger Gu An.

The tall and thin man didn't wait for Gu An to speak, and asked Gu An: "Who are you? Why did you bring Ai Lu to my house?"

Huh? It turns out that the little boy's name is Ai Lu. Only now did Gu An know the little boy's name. Then he looked at the tall and thin man in front of him and asked in a deep voice:

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hello, I am just a bounty hunter who likes to help others. I brought Ailu to you to find out what happened to his father.

.”

After hearing Gu An's words, the tall and thin man's face suddenly became very ugly. He gritted his teeth and glared at Gu An fiercely.

"Adaka's matter has nothing to do with me. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. I won't tell you anything."

"Tsk."

Gu Lian couldn't help but talk. Although this tall and thin man's uncooperative cooperation was in Gu An's expectation, he couldn't bear it. However, he couldn't bear it.

"Detecting the host's strong autonomous will, the system begins to generate customized tasks."

"Generate a custom task: 'Help the little boy Ailu find his father'."

"The task difficulty of 'Helping the little boy Ailu find his father' is one and a half stars. Accept the task and get two lighting cards. The lighting card effect: After activating the card effect, the radius of ten meters will be enveloped in white light for fifteen seconds. The task is completed.

, the system opens the personal level attribute panel."

“Do you want to accept the customized mission ‘The Mysterious Disappearance of Adaka’?”

"whether"

Here it comes, the customization task is here again!

Gu An did not expect that the customized task would be triggered again, and the reward for this task was to enable other system functions, which made Gu An a little surprised.

After accepting the customization task, Gu An looked at the tall and thin man who looked self-righteous, and decided to vent all his anger.

"Don't mind your own business? I just like to mind my own business. I'm in charge of Ailu's affairs. Now you'd better tell me everything that happened in the mountains. Otherwise, you will regret being born in this world."

"Oh, who do you think you are?" The tall and thin man looked at Gu An with disdain. He suddenly took out a black revolver from behind and pointed it at Gu An's head.

"Don't hurt uncle witcher!"

The little boy Ai Lu saw the tall and thin man taking out a pistol. Although he was scared, he stretched out his two hands in front of Gu An to protect Gu An.

To be honest, Gu An was really touched when he saw that Ai Lu would stand up for him. However, looking at the tall and thin man with the gun pointed at his head, Gu An showed a disdainful sneer on his face.

"You know, I don't like it when someone points a gun at my head. Let me make a bet with you. I bet that there are no bullets in your gun. You can just shoot. If the gun goes off, then I

It's over, you win, but if the gun doesn't fire, you answer whatever I ask you."

Hearing Gu An's words, the tall and thin man couldn't help but smile. He used his thumb to press the hammer of the gun and sneered: "Are you scared by me? What nonsense are you talking about? You bet with me that you

Do you really think your life is too long?"

"Why, don't you dare to bet with me?"

Gu An's expression was still full of disdain. He twitched the corners of his mouth, glanced at the tall and thin man and said, "If you don't dare to shoot me, then just count me as the winner."

"You really want to die!"

Looking at Gu An's appearance, the tall and thin man was not an honest and kind person to begin with. At this time, he was stimulated by Gu An's words and he couldn't help it anymore.

"If you want to die, I will satisfy you. I made a bet with you, you can die!"

The moment the tall and thin man spoke, the words "Every gamble must win card activated successfully" flashed in front of Gu An's face, and the smile on Gu An's face became even brighter.

"Still laughing? Die!"

"Click, click."

The tall, thin man who had a ferocious look on his face one second, now had a look of astonishment on his face the next, as the bullets from his revolver, which was clearly loaded with bullets, disappeared.

"How is this possible?" The tall and thin man stared at Gu An, his voice full of disbelief.

"Look, I won, right?"

Seeing the tall and thin man's constantly changing expressions, Gu An felt that the effect of this winning card was really powerful, but he couldn't reveal too much now, and the tall and thin man had to figure it out on his own.

.

Sure enough, looking at Gu An, who looked enigmatic with a smile on his face, the tall and thin man did not think that Gu An was making a fool of himself. He felt that Gu An was a magician or something like that.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything."

The tall and thin man still gave in. He turned around and let Gu An enter the room to continue talking. Seeing that Gu An made the tall and thin man obey with just a few words, the little boy Ai Lu looked at Gu An with admiration.

There was a stove on in the house, and there were no electric lights. He was the only one in the tall, thin man's house. The house was in a mess, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of it.

Pulling Ai Lu to sit on the only long bench in the room, Gu An looked at the tall and thin man sitting on the bed, "Tell me, what happened on the mountain? Why is Adaka the only one who didn't come back?"

"You may not believe it when I say it, but what I am about to say is true, and I saw it with my own eyes."

The tall, thin man had a look of recollection on his face. He talked about what happened two days ago. That day, he, Adaka, and another villager, Iku, went up to an unnamed hill not far from the village.

They originally planned to go back after hunting a few wild deer that day, but after wandering around the mountains several times, the three of them found no trace of the wild deer, and even some of the animals that usually appeared were missing.

The quietness in the mountain was a bit eerie. Villager Iku was timid. He felt that it was abnormal that there was no sound at all in the mountain. If he stayed any longer, problems might arise. He suggested going down the mountain directly.

The tall and thin man himself felt uneasy. He wanted to go down the mountain with Iku, but Adaka did not agree to go down the mountain. The weather was too cold recently, and there were fewer and fewer odd jobs. He needed to hunt prey to support his family.
