Uncle Holin, aren't you asleep

In the morning, Annan woke up early and awakened Martin, who was about to fall to the ground. Martin rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room, seeing Uncle Holin with his right foot wrapped in burlap chopping wood in the yard.

Uncle Holin, who was haggard, forced a smile and said, "I... I'm worried that something might happen to Annan at the gold mine

Good morning, Uncle Holin

Annan walked out from behind, and Uncle Holin's smile became more sincere.

The aroma emanating from the kitchen wafted through the courtyard, and the rising smoke merged into the thin mist enveloping Pinglin Town.

Aunt Susan brought out food, including a chicken soup mashed potatoes, a few pieces of soft baked black bread, and a bowl of apple pie.

Why didn't we have these food yesterday? "Uncle Holin sat in the low chair, stunned by the abundance of food in front of him.

You don't need such good food

Aunt Susan waved her spoon and knocked off her husband and Martin's dirty hands, then picked up Annam's wooden bowl and filled it up for him.

Xiao Annan, eat more to have the energy to go to work

Thank you, Aunt Susan

Aunt Susan's care for Annan was not only due to her love, but also for another reason - after Uncle Holin and Martin finished eating, the table looked like a devastated land ravaged by demons.

Before departure, Aunt Susan reminded Martin, "Take good care of Little Annan and don't let me down

In the early morning, Annan and Martin set off amidst Aunt Susan's worries and reluctance.

In the story of the troubadours, this small town called Pinglin Town is located on the edge of the bird's nest, surrounded by vast forests stretching thousands of miles, bordering the coast, snow capped mountains, and swamps. There is no church here, no screaming green skin, no disputes or conspiracies, let alone other races. Even those who are tired of disputes and yearn for peace find this place too peaceful - probably only the Druids who associate with the forest, as well as the hyenas like dog headed and jackal people like this place.

However, the troubadour also said, never believe what the troubadour says. They can fabricate all lies for the completeness of the story, and sing any word for the rhyme of poetry.

The haunted gold mine is located on the edge of the forest, not far from where Annan appeared.

At first, Annan tried to find his way back.

On the third day of staying at Aunt Susan's house, Annan gave a stumbling excuse and set off with Uncle Holin early in the morning to return to the forest. But when he sneaked out in an attempt to find the forest meadow, he encountered a group of dog headed men wandering here.

Those dog headed people who bark like lizards more than dogs are covered in tattered cloth that cannot cover their bodies, wielding crooked short spears and throwing stones as weapons.

Annan resisted the idea of greeting these 'fantasy creatures' and fled back to the edge of the forest. The probability of being killed by a dog headed person may be low, but it is not zero.

Later, Annan told the troubadour about this and said that he was right to run back. There were more unlucky people killed by the dog headed man than by the dragon. These bullies are afraid of the strong and prefer solitary adventurers.

Then he also told Annan about the habits of the dog headed people, such as liking to avoid light in forests and caves, never attacking enemies with more numbers than them, and even a single dog headed person wanting to run away when they see a sheep——

Annan and Martin met their foreman at the fork in the road, an old man named Lao Zoren who was lame in his leg. It is said that he was once an old soldier.
