"The wolf cub has finally opened his mind! Knowing that the eldest brother, I live here and have a woman who has a warm bed. The thief jumped forward, only to see a white shadow passing in the blood, and then Si'er was already in his arms.

"You let her go!" I took two steps forward, smiled at my lips, and flew back a dozen steps back with Si'er in my arms.

"Tsk, it looks a little tenderer, but it's okay, I can teach ...... slowly" The thief smiled and kissed Si'er on the cheek.

"Uncle, let her go quickly, she will cry, this girl is crying very noisy!" Innocent glanced at Si'er and teased.

"Call big brother, don't call uncle!" The thief pushed Si'er to the side and shouted angrily at Wuxie. I took the opportunity to protect the frightened Si'er behind me.

"Are you alright?" I asked Si'er.

"Little girl, there won't be a piece of meat in one bite." The thief glanced at Si'er and put his sword on the ground.

"It's fine." Si'er shook his head, still not coming back to his senses.

"Don't come, you have to come." Wuxian patted Si'er on the back and muttered, "Uncle kissed you because he liked you, what are you afraid of?" ”

When I heard this, my heart burned, and I pulled out the dagger from my boot and threw it at the thief: "Thief! What did you teach him! ”

"What was taught? Taught men what they should know! The thief smiled and grabbed the blade of the dagger between his two fingers, "Little girl, you can't hurt me." "With a movement of his wrist, the Tianshui dagger flew towards me.

With a wave of the innocent long sword, the dagger had landed on the grass a few feet away.

"See, I've taught him everything." The thief laughed and turned towards the woods on the other side of the valley, "Since you're here today, come and sit down with me, I'm looking for you to make a deal." ”

"What kind of deal?" I shouted behind him.

"A big deal where human lives are at stake." He raised his sword and strode towards the woods in the distance.

The thief's dwelling in the valley was an abandoned thatched hut, the wooden door of which was wide open, and the house was empty, except for a blue calamus mat on the dirt floor of the inner wall, on which a pile of hay was stacked to make a bed. Because of the reputation of thieves, I don't even want to go into a place with a bed.

"What are you doing at the door? Let's go inside! "The thief pushed me behind me and pushed me straight into the house." Do you eat plums? He went to the bed, sat down, turned back and took out a small basket of fresh plums with fine white fluff from the weeds, and handed it to me.

I smiled and shook my head, taking the opportunity to move two steps to find myself a good place to escape.

The thief looked at me and smiled and shoved a green plum into his mouth. As soon as Kara bit it, the juice splashed, so sour that he bared his teeth and grinned, and cursed his father and scolded his mother.

"What do you have to talk about? Let's talk about it! I urged.

The thief squinted his eyes, shook his shoulders and popped out of his mouth with a plum kernel, then turned around and pulled out another mess on the bed.

What is this man looking for? I took two steps forward, trying to take a closer look. Something yellow suddenly flew out from the other end of the bed, and I didn't have time to think about it before I reached out to catch it. What is it? Puppet? In the palm of my hand was a curved piece of turmeric poplar, the branches of which had been peeled and polished and cut into a human shape. The eyebrows are carved out of a woman, a woman with short ear-length hair and a tightly knit brow. The twists and turns of the poplar are her high-arched back, and the thin skeleton body is exaggeratedly twisted, as if hiding something from the world, protecting something.

"Do you know her?" The thief sat cross-legged on the bed with his basket of green plums, his eyes fixed on me, and his expression was rare serious.

I clenched the puppet in my hand, and my heart swelled in my chest. I know her, I know her, she's the one I cried in my midnight dreams to see again.

"Why do you know my mother?" I clenched the puppet in my hand and stared up at the thief.

The thief looked at me unabashedly, he had no expression on his face at first, but suddenly smiled when he looked at it.

"What are you laughing at!" I wanted to cry here, but he laughed uncontrollably.

"I laugh at the sky, laugh at you, laugh at me, and laugh at her." The thief looked at the puppet in my hand and stuffed another plum into his mouth. This time, he didn't bare his teeth, didn't squint, and just quietly ate his immature sour plum.

I looked at the puppet in my hand, and a very ridiculous idea suddenly came to my mind. Zi returns, Zi returns, Yunhu does not return? This notorious, prodigal man can't be my daddy...... How is this possible? How could the man that my aunt will never forget to die be him!

"Look at what you see! Lao Tzu is not your useless father! The thief stood up sharply and thrust hard against my head. I was wondering if this man was my father, where did I expect him to push me, and I was about to fall when I looked up. The thief stretched out his hand, but instead of holding me, he snatched the puppet from my hand and let me fall to the ground with a clatter.

"Alright, let's talk about the deal." He stuffed A-Niang's puppet into his arms and looked at me condescendingly.

I cursed, reached out and touched the back of my head, and it was a hand of mud. Oh my God, I was really obsessed with it just now, and I even suspected that he was my father!

I glared at the thief viciously. The thief raised his eyebrows, as if he understood something, and then lay down beside me in a very chic posture: "Do you think it is more comfortable to lie down like this to talk about business?" He turned to me and said with a smile.

I looked at the half of his face on the muddy floor, and I was angry and amused for a moment. That's it, this person is an anomaly, and I am really stupid to be angry with him.

"What do you want to do with me?" I asked.

"I want to ask you to buy a life?" He looked at me with a big smile.

"Whose life?"

"Mine."

"What do you mean?!" I immediately sat up.

"I'm going to do something big next, maybe with my life. But I'm a man who spares my life, and I don't want to die so early. So, I want to buy a life from you first. The thief put his hands behind his head and lay on the ground and grinned.

"Buy your life with me? You can't survive with such good skills, what can I do to save you? Tell me honestly, how did you know my mother? Do you know my daddy too? ”

"Little thing, what are you in a hurry! I'll tell you when I'm going to talk about it. Alas, why don't you ask me what I want to buy my life with? "The thief is the only person who knows my aunt at the moment, and I have a stomach to ask him, but he puts on a posture that he wants to talk to me all day.

"What do you want to buy?" I stubbornly followed his words.

"Nature is your life." One of the thieves sat up and leaned over to me.

I glanced at the bronze sword in his hand and took two steps back, "What do you mean?" I can tell you, what kind of god is a lie, I can only be regarded as a medicine girl at best, and my divination skills are also very poor, and I can't do any kind of witchcraft such as moving lives and changing lives! ”

"I never believed in ghosts and gods, and I never listened to any bullshit shamans. It's just a matter between you and me, and it's really interesting. If this is really some kind of divine arrangement, I would like to see what other good things he has arranged for me. ”

"I'm getting more and more confused."

"Let me tell you that. In the winter of the twenty-third year of King Zhou, the Zhi clan sent troops to capture the Fan mansion. The next month, Zhisong asked the Gongsun family of Lu Guo to secretly build a secret room in the mansion, which was built under the old man's own undercover bed. Guess what's hidden in there? ”

"Fan's treasure, the Xia Yu sword you want." I replied angrily.

"Hey, smart. But, wrong! The thief slapped his palm and said with a smile, "Zhisong's secret room contains your mother, and your mother's stomach contains you." If I save her, I will naturally save you. You owe me a great favor before you were born, and I only came to collect the debt from you today, and you really don't lose it. ”

Zhiju imprisoned my mother? Did the thief save my life? What kind of business is this!

"Make it clear! What secret room did Zhisong build? Why is he imprisoning my mother? Where is the Chamber of Secrets? "I asked a whole bunch of questions.

The thief didn't sell it again this time, and he exaggerated how he stole the key from Lu Ban and how he worked so hard to save my mother. I listened quietly, and the initial shock turned into anger. I finally understood why Zhi Yao asked about the thief when he first met me, why he mentioned the "treasure" that Zhi had stolen more than ten years ago, he had already suspected my identity, only me, and stupidly believed that a veil could hide it from everyone.

If what the thief said is true, then the person who let A-Niang go to the Qin State in the first place was none other than Zhi, the sect leader of the Zhi family. She wasn't forced to make a living, begging along the way, she was running for her life with young me. She was afraid that people would find her, she was afraid that others would eat her children, so she couldn't sleep at night, so she was frightened and crazy all day long. Ji's "Rare Treasure"? Fuck it off! It was Zhi Yao's grandfather who killed my mother, and it was the Zhi clan that caused her bones to be gone, and my family was ruined! And now the grandson of the wicked man wants to drink my blood and eat my flesh. Zhiyao, Zhiyao, even if I'm just a mouse in a ditch, I'm going to fight to the death with you, a man-eating tiger! As long as I live, I will never spare you!

"Hey, what are you going to do with this cannibalistic appearance? You quickly agreed to my deal! The thief shook his hand in front of my eyes.

I loosened my teeth and was about to kneel down to thank him for saving his life, but at this moment, I suddenly thought of something more important than repaying my gratitude. "Quinoa, where's Quinoa? You said that you went into Zhisong's secret room that night to save my mother, but there is also a person named Ah Quinoa in that secret room? I gripped the thief's hand tightly.
