The tree shadow cast on the scroll trembled slightly, and Yan Ke raised his head.

"What's the matter, owner?" the little boy next to him asked cautiously.

"Someone has entered the woods." Yan Ke said calmly, his voice was very immature, but a bit mature for his age, "That man broke through the maze in the forest, and walked through the wind lock. It's getting closer."

"What should I do?" Xiao Tong looked at Yan Ke nervously.

"I'll go and have a look." Yan Ke said and stood up.His height is only a little higher than the high platform in the front yard of Yuhuzhuang, but he looks like a child of eight or nine years old.

"Go back to the house and tell the others not to come out casually." After Yan Ke instructed the little boy beside her, she left the villa.

He stood under a big tree not far from the village, jumped lightly, and stood on the top of the tree.He hid his figure among the branches and leaves, looking at the ground under his feet.

The light sound of trampling grass blades came from far to near, and a figure appeared in Yan Ke's sight.Without blinking, Yan Ke waved her fingers, and a gust of wind slashed at the man's head.

Unexpectedly, the man seemed to have been prepared, he took a step to the side, waved his sleeves unhurriedly, the direction of the wind changed directly, turned a corner, and cut towards the big tree where Yan Ke was hiding.

Yan Ke took two steps back, and the wind blade chopped off the end of the branch.A branch with a large clump of leaves fell with a clattering sound.Yan Ke's hiding place was also fully exposed.

Yet he was not afraid, nor did he run away.His only movement was to lower his head and look at that person.The man also raised his head, his eyes were on Yan Ke's.

It is a young man.

Something in Yan Ke's chest jumped.

He has never seen a living human being.Some people who walked near Yuhuzhuang starved to death because they lost their way in the forest; some were cut into pieces because they touched the wind lock.Yan Ke has never been out of this forest since he was born, and when he walks in the forest occasionally, he may see these unrecognizable bones.

It was the first time for him to see a living person; what's more, this person raised his head and smiled at him.

Yan Ke couldn't tell whether this man was handsome or not.He only paid attention to his eyes.It was a pair of bright eyes, like ice, cold and clear.But when he smiled, he was very gentle.People want to avoid it, but they can't look away.

"I'm sorry." The man seemed to see that Yan Ke was a child, and his tone of voice was very soft, "I went out to play, and saw that there was a maze here, and thought it was interesting, so I barged in without authorization. Did I bother you?"

Yan Ke just stared at his eyes and forgot to answer for a while.Seeing that Yan Ke was not moving, the man couldn't help but tilt his head, and blinked before Yan Ke came back to his senses.

"Excuse me," he said.

"Sorry." The man smiled, but he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, "You're the only one here?"

"No." Yan Ke replied briefly.There was a breeze dancing between his fingers, and he made a sharp gesture.

"Are all your companions the same as you? Are they all children?" The man seemed not afraid of Yan Ke at all, and still asked with a smile.

Yan Ke remained silent, frowning slightly.He held back his breath, and suddenly, the leaves fluttered, and countless wind blades stabbed at the man on the ground together.

The man didn't change his face, and suddenly his figure disappeared.The wind blades collided and spun on the ground, canceling each other out.Yan Ke only felt that suddenly, darkness flashed across his head.Without looking up, he shot the wind blade directly into the sky, but when he turned around unexpectedly, he found that the man was already standing on the tree, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Yan Ke was slightly stunned, and before he had time to react, the man reached out and stuffed a small and cold object into Yan Ke's mouth.

Yan Ke was startled, and suddenly spat out the thing.He is Yujian, he didn't need to eat since he was a child, and it was the first time he put something in his mouth.The thing was cold and slippery, with a subtle taste that he had never understood, even after spitting it out, it still remained in his mouth.

"Don't like it?" The man smiled softly, "It's really strange. I've never seen a child who doesn't like candy."

Yan Ke remained silent, took two steps back, and guarded against the man vigilantly.The man blinked at him, then suddenly reached out and touched Yan Ke's head.

"Don't be so vigilant," he said softly, "I won't do anything."

The palm of that person exudes a faint body temperature, which is different from Kendama, it is a warm feeling.The first time Yan Ke came into contact with the temperature of a human being, he couldn't help being a little dazed, and forgot to push the man down.

Seeing Yan Ke not moving, the man pursed his lips and smiled.He bent his finger and flicked Yan Ke's forehead lightly.Then he fell lightly from the tree.

Yan Ke covered his forehead with his hands.Human knuckles are elastic.It doesn't hurt to hit the forehead.He became more and more confused, unable to understand the purpose of this man's behavior.

"I'm leaving." He said, "Sorry for disturbing you." He took out a cloth bag from his arms and threw it to Yan Ke.

"Sorry," he said. "Here's a bag of candy for you and your friends. Maybe they'll like it."

Yan Ke held the cloth bag and remained silent.The man winks at him.

"Can I come and see it again?" he asked.

Yan Ke opened his mouth slightly, but did not speak.

Don't let anyone know that Yuhuzhuang's young sword is in this forest.Anyone who sees the young boy in Yuhuzhuang must die.Yan Ke should have refused, and then took advantage of the man's inattention and personally cut off his head, but at this time, there was a trace of reluctance.

He didn't want to see those soft and bright eyes lose their brilliance in this forest, then gradually collapse, and finally become the food of scavengers, just like those ugly corpses.

The man didn't wait for Yan Ke to answer, but he didn't care. He saluted Yan Ke lightly, then turned around and walked away on the grass blades.

Yan Ke watched the figure of the man disappear into the woods.When he could no longer feel a trace of breath, he slowly fell from the tree and returned to the village.

When he opened the gate of the village, he saw a small head poking out of the window quietly. Seeing him, he breathed a sigh of relief and jumped directly into the courtyard.

"How is it?" The boy ran to Yan Ke and asked.

"It's gone." Yan Ke was still thinking about that person in his heart, a little absent-minded.

"Going away?" the little boy asked suspiciously.Yan Ke didn't respond.He looked at the little boy's hand, and couldn't help but think of the tactile sensation of the man's palm covering his head, so he couldn't help but take the little boy's palm, put it in his hand and squeeze it.

Sure enough, human hands are much softer than sword hands.Yan Ke thought.

"Master?" The little boy was confused by Yan Ke's behavior, and his voice couldn't help raising slightly.Yan Ke recovered.He quickly withdrew his hand, then took out the cloth bag given by the man from his arms, and threw it to the boy.

"This is...?" the boy asked suspiciously.

"Sugar." Yan Ke remembered what the man said to him, and replied, "Share it to others."

"Candy?" The boy's eyes widened. "It's the kind written in the book? Small, sweet things? How did the owner get it?"

"It was given by the person who went into the woods." Yan Ke said, "He said that children like to eat it."

"Strange person." The little boy muttered, opening the cloth bag, "how can someone carry such a big bag of candies with him?" He picked up one, put it in his mouth, and immediately narrowed his eyes, showing a strange expression .

"Delicious?" Yan Ke asked.

"Delicious." The little boy said happily.He quickly grabbed a few and put them in Yan Ke's hands, then ran back to the mansion to share them with his companions.

Yan Ke held the candy and sat under the shade of a tree.He reopened the book, lines of words were reflected in his eyes, but Yan Ke couldn't finish reading.

"Don't trust any human beings." The former owner of the villa said to Yan Ke just before turning his sword, "Everyone who is close to Yuhuzhuang must die. Let one go, and we will be the ones who perish."

Yan Ke clenched his fists tightly, the sugar was shattered in his hands, sticking sticky between his fingers.

I should have killed him.Yan Ke thought.Why did I hesitate then.

Not next time.Next time he appears in the woods again, I won't say anything to him, just cut his throat.

Thinking of those eyes, he felt a little regretful.

However, that person did not appear.A few months later, when Yan Ke realized that the situation was different, a group of strangers had gone through the maze and the wind gust. They lost some of their companions, and went straight to the front of the villa, and broke open the door.

A net made of strong tencel descended from the sky, and papers filled with strange symbols flew from the hands of the group of people.While the child was crying, black spots suddenly appeared on Yan Ke's body.Powerless to resist, he glanced at the group of people before falling to the ground.

There was excitement and greed in those people's eyes, none of them were cold and gentle eyes that Yan Ke had seen before.

Yan Ke's skills were blocked, and Zhuang Zhong's sword was locked hands and feet, stuffed into a dark place, and then pulled out again.He was tied up in a cellar, with a large piece of runes drawn in front of him.

He watched helplessly as the children in the village were dragged to the center of the runes one by one, forced to open their mouths, and stuffed with spirit stones.He watched helplessly as the children retched and swallowed stones until a jade sword pierced their chests and fell to the ground.

"It became a sword again!" Yan Ke heard the excitement in the voices of the group of people.The jade sword on the ground was quickly taken away, while the boy's body was ignored, gradually shrunk in the pool of blood, and finally turned into invisible dust.Soaked in the ground with blood.

Yan Ke closed his eyes.

Sure enough.he thinks.Sure enough.The owner didn't lie to me.

"What about this sapphire sword?" In the darkness, he heard someone ask.

"The sapphire sword is extremely rare. If it is refined well, it may become the number one sword in the Three Realms." Another person said, "Master specially found the fire jade. If the fire jade and sapphire are fused together, this sword must be invincible. "

"But Huoyu..." The man hesitated to speak.

"It never hurts to try," said another. "Even if the best jade sword doesn't work out, we still have so many swords."

Yan Ke slowly opened his eyes.He saw a bunch of jade swords neatly lined up on the ground.

37 swords.That is the number of all children in Yuhuzhuang except Yan Ke.

Yan Ke's temple suddenly throbbed.Even with the dark spots on his body, it made him feel extremely painful.He can't wait for a sword to pierce his chest at this very moment, chop him into 37 pieces, and put them in front of those swords piece by piece to pay homage to his companion.

He looked fiercely at the person standing beside him, but that person didn't care about Yan Ke's gaze at all.He pulled the iron chain that locked Yan Ke's ankle, Yan Ke fell to the ground, and the man dragged him directly to the center of the rune.

Yan Ke lay on the ground, he wanted to resist, but he didn't have any strength.When he was grabbed by the hair and forced to lift up, he saw a stone that was as red as a flame lying in front of him.

Several people sat around the stone, chanting words without knowing what they were talking about.I saw the black traces of the runes on the ground suddenly flashing golden light centered on the stone.The golden light gradually spread, and the stone seemed to be burning, emitting a dazzling light.

Facing the stone, Yan Ke felt that his body was burning like a fire.He couldn't help but want to step back, but someone pressed his shoulders hard and leaned towards the stone.

Yan Ke struggled with all her strength, but she couldn't resist the power to control him.Like those children, he was forcibly pinched and opened his mouth.

The stone flickered dangerously, and the people around who were chanting curses roared in unison, and a red light gushed out from the stone, and rushed directly into Yan Ke's mouth.
