Lost Charm

he's lost.

Yu Chijiong glanced at the cross knife marks that were drawn on the tree trunk for the nth time in front of him, his brows slowly furrowed.

The task is for him to find that piece of white jade fat in this strange forest.After searching for a few days, he indeed caught a glimpse of a shiny stone in the clear water of the lake. At that time, he was overjoyed. In this ghostly place where the sun can't penetrate and even the trees are gray-green, what could be so white and flawless? ?

After Yu found it, leaving was the highlight, but he turned around many times, but found that he couldn't get out.

The jade in his arms suddenly became heavy, in response to his depressed mood, tempting him to just throw it away and ignore it.But he can't do this, because this is a test for him, if he fails, even if he walks out of the forest safely, he will have no home to return to.

He has no way back.

The young and mature sighed secretly, the greenness on his face hadn't completely receded, which made his appearance extraordinarily cute.

"Fool." Suddenly, a chuckle came to my ears. At first glance, it sounded like the laughter of a young boy being amused. Unfortunately, in this place where birds don't lay eggs, where are there children?

Yu Chijiong's face changed, and he subconsciously stroked the dagger at his waist - the master said that he hadn't reached the crown yet, and that he hadn't grown tall, so it would be a waste of money to use the Xiuchun knife for him, so tired that no one dared to The long knife was given to him, but he was forced to take this small short knife.

"Who?"

"The residents here." A gray figure jumped down from the tree and landed in front of Yu Chijiong, keeping a certain distance from him.

Yu Chijiong grasped the handle of the knife tightly, he couldn't sense anyone on top of him just now, but the one in front of him was just a thin young man who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, no matter how he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.

Could it be the male version of Tianshan Child Elder?Just thinking about this, the boy said again: "You are too annoying to turn around here, and the chickens are too hard to catch if they run into the depths of the forest. I will lead you out. I haven't eaten chicken for three days."

Yuchi Jiong was startled, and blurted out a word without thinking: "There are chickens here?"

No, this shouldn't be the point of his surprise.

"I raised it." The boy turned around arrogantly, without looking back, "Let's go, it's fine if you don't come."

Yu Chijiong thought for a while, gritted his teeth and followed. After all, he had no other way to leave here, but he did not let go of his guard, and said cautiously: "I thought there was no one here."

"There are only me and my adoptive father living here." The corner of the boy's mouth curled into a sneer, how could he fail to hear such a simple temptation, but Yu Chijiong behind him couldn't see it.

Yu Chijiong shrewdly kept his mouth shut, no one would like to live in this ghostly place, if he had to say it, only monsters would appear in a place full of yin.And monsters always do whatever they want. One moment they can treat you like a confidant and friend, and the next moment they can treat you like an enemy and kill you with a single blow.

He learned how to deal with these creatures at a young age, and he couldn't be more clear.

"I'm human." As if guessing what Yu Chijiong was thinking, the boy explained lightly.

It's even worse if it's a human being. What's the reason why he and his adoptive father can't stay here?A gleam flashed in Yuchijiong's eyes, such as guarding the white jade fat he was ordered to find?

He felt strange that a piece of jade should not be sold by them, there must be something strange.

"I don't care if you come to shit or what, as long as you don't steal my chicken, I won't care about you." The boy said in front, "My adoptive father is what you call a monster. He is not healthy. I can only stay here to recuperate."

The conspiracy theory in Yuchijiong's mind suddenly stopped working, and instead he was thinking about whether the chicken raised in the place of Yin Qi is particularly delicious, which made the boy repeatedly emphasize.

The son of a human being raised by a monster... Yu Chijiong pondered, monsters have never been things to keep their own place, they don't stay in the demon world well, and even come to the human world to play wild - of course, in the eyes of the monsters, they just accidentally played big, But enough to drink a pot.Of course, Yu Chijiong has also seen some benevolent monsters, but it is still the master's saying "Human monsters have different paths", how can the three different views play together?

Just like this child, who has lived in this place with insufficient yang energy for a long time, he doesn't know if something will happen in the future.

As clever as Yu Chijiong, he would not say this out loud, if he got angry with someone, and he didn't know where to cry if he didn't lead the way.

The two walked quietly like this, and as they walked, Wei Chijiong's eyes fell on the front, the sunlight that had not been seen for many days was slowly penetrating through the shade of the tree, and sprinkled softly on the ground, he was overjoyed, looking at the boy's The back view is also quite pleasing to the eye, this person really took him out instead of dragging him somewhere.

"Thank you." Yu Chijiong recalled the way in, and felt that there was no need to bother others, "Little brother, it's fine to get here, I can recognize the way out."

The boy called "little brother" frowned slightly, apparently not wanting to see this title, but he didn't say much, just stopped, "Then you go on your own."

Relying on the weak sunlight, Yu Chijiong managed to see his little benefactor's face clearly for the first time. With his handsome face and indifferent expression, living in this remote and uninhabited place, it is not difficult to imagine how withdrawn he is.

In addition, his only relative is a monster, if that thing suddenly changes his mind and kicks him out, I don't know what will happen to him...

Yuchi Jiong resolutely took off the dagger at his waist, handed it to the boy, and said: "You are kind to me, this is a token, if there is anything in the future, just show this knife at the yamen and you will find me."

The boy didn't take the dagger, but looked at Yu Chijiong, and said in a positive tone: "You are not a policeman."

The policeman doesn't have such skills, let alone walk into this forest inexplicably.

"I'm not, but you can find me through the yamen." Yuchijiong admitted with a cool smile, "I'm Xiuyi. If you come to the capital, you can go to Beizhen Fusi to look for Yuchijiong. That's my name."

Embroidered clothes, directly under the emperor's secret service agency, are responsible for investigating the big and small things of officials in Beijing, officials from all over the country, and even the common people. How many people's black history is in their hands. .

A gust of wind blew by, Yu Chijiong was about to say where the wind came from, the boy reached out and took the dagger, and said without emotion: "I accept it."

In other words, you can go.

Yuchi Jiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, how many people want to have a good relationship with Xiuyi, but this kid is good, he basically didn't give him a good face, even if he knew that he was Xiuyi, he was always the same.

But having said that, this child may not even know what embroidered clothes are.

Embroidering clothes was also very busy, especially since he had already missed his time, so he didn't say much, and thanked the boy again with his hands clasped, and then left without looking back.

After Yu Chijiong's figure completely disappeared, another gust of wind blew by, and in the next moment, a slender figure appeared beside the boy.

The boy respectfully called out: "Father."

The man called adoptive father responded casually, and gently stroked the boy's head with his big hand, "Qin'er was very good just now, foster father caught a chicken, and it can be roasted tonight."

The boy's eyes lit up, and he glanced at the coldness facing Yu Chijiong.

A smile flashed across the foster father's eyes. No matter how cold Qin'er was, whenever he mentioned his favorite, he would change back to what a child should look like. He coughed softly and said, "Where is the knife that the child gave you?"

The boy immediately handed the knife to his adoptive father, with a straightforward attitude, not caring about this special short knife for embroidered clothes, which represents the gold medal for avoiding death.

The righteous father took the knife, examined it carefully, and said, "It's a good knife."

The boy tugged on his adoptive father's sleeve and said, "He took Bai Yuzhi away."

The adoptive father smiled lightly, "If he doesn't take it, someone else will take it. Since the seal is destined to be broken, it's better to let him take it. At least he will know who he gave it to."

Who will give the things that Xiuyi takes, the answer is obvious.

"The adoptive father knew that he was Xiuyi?"

"Otherwise, how could he let him take the jade away." The adoptive father taught the son whose brain is half a roast chicken: "Only embroidered clothes will wear dark green brocade clothes, and the leader of embroidered clothes will wear big red python clothes, Remember these."

There is no one who insists that the highest authority in embroidered clothes is the first-rank governor.

The boy nodded earnestly, and asked, "They even manage the affairs of the demon world?"

The adoptive father showed a meaningful smile, "Is it the king's land in the whole world, as long as it is in the human world, as long as the emperor makes a decree, they will take care of everything."

The boy looked indifferent, "boring."

The adoptive father continued: "That child Yuchi has a good heart. If something happens to me one day, you can go to him. With your ability, they will welcome you very much."

"Father!" The boy glared at the man angrily, and his tone became more serious unconsciously.

"One day you will grow up, and the adoptive father is old, so he doesn't care so much."

"I will always be with my adoptive father."

The man's heart warmed up, but he didn't talk too much about this topic, because he knew that every word he said would be firmly remembered by the boy.

Yu Chijiong, who got out of the forest, got on the horse swiftly, and marched towards the capital with a heroic face, without any embarrassment and confusion when he was lost.

Recalling that gust of wind, it was probably caused by the adoptive father that the boy said.

A monster that can control the wind... Yu Chijiong thought for a while, but there seemed to be no relevant monster recorded, that is to say, is it another guy who sneaked into the human world secretly?

Didn't you just tell the Demon Emperor that all monsters that enter the human world must come to the Fusiming Public Office in Xiuyi North Town to register!

Now another one came, and even played with the family wine that raised the child, what should he do?Turn a blind eye or rush back to the demon world?

Forget it, the child seems to be doing well, it doesn't look like abuse, just treat it as repaying favors, this time he pretends he doesn't know about it.

Anyway, it's just a monster that doesn't commit crimes.

Suddenly, he sneezed loudly and remembered: "Oh no, I forgot to ask the little brother's name."
