The crooked way can also lead to heaven

"Ding dong!"

The crisp doorbell rang.

Ye Ran walked to the window and took a look, and found that the sky was still gray, with light rain swaying.

I walked to the bathroom and washed my face randomly, then walked downstairs.

When he opened the door, he saw a huge backpack. When he slowly turned around, he realized that the person ringing the doorbell was a petite girl.

The clothes are not eye-catching, and even a little shabby, but the face is quite delicate.

"Kid, are you looking for your mother? I don't have one here."

Ye Ran grabbed his hair and yawned, as if he had not yet woken up.

The little girl shook her head, lowered her head and dug around for a long time, and finally took out a crumpled piece of paper and handed it over.

Ye Ran took it with a question mark on his face, took a glance at it, and frowned.

"Little beggar...are you the one that guy wants to send here?"

There was a little bit of information about the little girl written on the note, as well as the guy's signature.

The little beggar nodded repeatedly, then raised his other hand and showed a smile like a spring breeze: "Master, breakfast."

Ye Ran's expression was complicated. What on earth was that guy thinking? Didn't he just send a daughter here?

But everyone had already arrived, so it was useless to say more, so he immediately stepped forward to help her carry her backpack.

"It's really hard for you, let me do it."

Ye Ran reached out to lift his backpack, but found that he couldn't lift it at all!

Unwilling to give up, he tried again, but the backpack felt like it was filled with lead and was ridiculously heavy!

Ye Ran was shocked.

Damn it!

What exactly is in this backpack? !

His strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, and now he can't even lift a backpack.

It’s hard to imagine how this little girl carries a backpack that is twice as big as her entire body!

The little beggar raised his hand across the tip of his nose and said with a naive smile: "I'll do it, Master."

After saying that, I saw her carrying a suitcase in her left hand, a large bag in her right hand, and a super large backpack on her body, walking into the store with a relaxed expression.

Ye Ran was a little messy and stayed there for a while with breakfast in hand, then turned back to the store.

As soon as he entered the house, the little beggar removed all his burdens and stood aside with a solemn expression at a loss.

Ye Ran looked at her carefully, but didn't see any clues, so he said softly: "Sit down, I will give you a glass of water."

The little beggar hummed, carefully pulled out the stool next to him and sat down. He didn't dare to look around, so he lowered his head and looked at his toes.

The two of them just sat like this, no one said anything, and the atmosphere was a bit delicate.

"Ahem."

Ye Ran was the first to break the silence. After sorting out his thoughts, he expressed the question in his heart: "How old are you this year? How did you meet that guy?"

The little beggar put his legs together, raised his head and replied with a serious face: "Sixteen years old, Master, is the guy you are talking about the uncle with explosive hair?"

The little beggar gestured with his hands as he spoke, looking a little cute.

Ye Ran nodded: "Yes, that's him."

After confirmation, the little beggar explained: "Uncle Afro-head saved me when I was begging."

Then the little beggar began to tell the story of the whole thing.

It turns out that she is just a wandering beggar. She doesn't even know her own name, and she doesn't know when she lost her memory.

Because he could never beg for food and was chased around all day long, he almost starved to death on the street.

If that guy hadn't accidentally discovered her while passing by, she would have been gone long ago.

Later, the man raised her for a while and asked her if she wanted to find a job that could fill her stomach.

After listening to the story, Ye Ran was thoughtful and remembered one thing specifically stated on the note.

"Can you show me your jade pendant?"

The note said that the little beggar had a special jade pendant on his body, which was closely related to the golden tree.

The little beggar didn't refuse, so he reached out and took off the jade pendant from his neck and placed it on the table.

Ye Ran gently picked up the jade pendant and looked at it for a while, then stood up and got a thick old book. After flipping through it a few times, hope appeared in his eyes.

The Golden Tree has always been a legend, and its authenticity cannot be verified. There are only a few words in ancient books.

But the golden tree is painted on it. Although it is a bit blurry, it can still be judged that the jade pendant in the hand is almost the same as the one painted in the book.

In other words, the golden tree is not just a legend, but a real wonder!

Ye Ran took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the jade pendant unconsciously.

He had not been so excited for a long time, and the joy in his heart could not be suppressed.

I was still half-convinced about this stuff at first, and just lived by my thoughts.

But now, Ye Ran has firmed up his inner thoughts.

Be sure to find the golden tree!

"Master, are you okay? I see you are shaking?"

The little beggar scratched his head, with a little fear in his eyes.

She had just come here. Don't meet a seriously ill master. If something happened, wouldn't she be living on the street again?

Ye Ran breathed a long sigh of relief, quickly adjusted his inner emotions, then shook his head and returned the jade pendant to her.

"It's okay. You must keep this jade pendant and don't show it to others easily in the future."

He is definitely not the only one who covets the golden tree. If anyone finds out about it, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

As for the girl calling him master, feel free, it's just a title anyway.

Ye Ran has no plans to accept any apprentices yet, and... not everyone can step into the ranks of evil practitioners, as it is easy to get into trouble.

This is not a glorious profession, and even light cannot be seen, which is not something that ordinary people can bear.

"Okay, I'll listen to Master."

The little beggar nodded obediently and kept this in mind.

As if thinking of something else, Ye Ran said very seriously: "You have to learn the rules of the store. There is a book at the counter. You can read it yourself when you have nothing to do."

After that, he didn't say anything else. He always felt that there were still secrets in this girl that had not been dug out. Just based on that strange strength, it was enough to make people palpitate.

Suddenly, a fishy smell suddenly floated into his nose. Ye Ran frowned slightly, and his eyes followed the source of the smell and found that it came from the little beggar.

She also smelled it, but she was very panicked. She stood up and checked her body at a loss.

"Master, it's not me, it's not me!"

After seeing Ye Ran's eyes, the little beggar panicked, fearing that he would be driven out.

Ye Ran raised his hand to interrupt him, and then moved his eyes outside the door.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the fishy smell was getting stronger and stronger.

"Go upstairs to change your clothes, and clean up the empty room next door and stay there."

When he approached the door, Ye Ran had already noticed the source of the fishy smell, which was the rain.

The little beggar had this fishy smell, and it was 100% because his clothes were stained with rain.

"What happened?"

Ye Ran looked at the sky and muttered to himself. The rain had turned blood red, and the whole street was dyed red, which was very abnormal.

The bloody rain in the sky continued for about an hour, and there was no sign of stopping. Instead, it was getting heavier.

Turning on the TV, almost all channels were broadcasting the bloody rain incident.

[Today, blood rain fell in our city for no apparent reason. The cause has not been found yet. According to expert analysis, there are a lot of toxic substances in this rain. Contact with it will cause skin ulcers. Please reduce going out as much as possible and take good protection...]

"Summer, summer, quietly passed, leaving a little secret~"

"Press it in my heart, I can't tell you~"

Ye Ran's cell phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID showed that it was Luo Xiaoxiao calling.

"Master Ye, my dad is in trouble, please come over!"

"How much money?"

"The money is easy to talk about, you come quickly!"

"Send me the address, wait."

Ye Ran hung up the phone and yelled upstairs: "Little beggar, don't run around at home, I have something to go out."

"Okay, Master, no problem, Master!" The little beggar responded quickly.

Ye Ran packed up his things and went out with an umbrella. Because of the rain, although the doors of the shops on the street were open, there was not a single customer.

Not only the streets, but everywhere was like this, showing desertedness.

Many ambulances can be seen whizzing by on the road, and even the Yin-Yang Association's convoy.

Broadcasts everywhere are warning citizens not to go out, and almost the entire city is under martial law.

"There must be a demon when there are strange phenomena in the sky."

"I'm afraid something is about to appear in Tianhai City."

Ye Ran narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, then stepped on the accelerator and sped forward.
