Chen Mu and his grandfather Chen Xian live at home, Chen Mu and Chen Xian have no blood relationship, he was picked up by Chen Xian outside.

One cold night, Chen Xian returned to Qingmo Town with a few people after finishing work, and saw the abandoned Chen Mu on the side of the road, he was still in swaddling clothes at that time, Xu was cold weather, Chen Mu was frozen, and there was no crying.

Several people in the same company all have wives and children, only Chen Xian has not yet married a wife and had children, Chen Xian saw that the child was pitiful, so he adopted him and named him Chen Mu.

As Chen Mu grew up and gradually became sensible and aware of some things, Chen Xian did not hide it from him and told him what he had picked up.

Chen Mu was depressed for a long time after hearing this, and then slowly faded with time.

......

In the dead of night, the town of Qingma seemed to fall asleep in the moonlight.

In a daze, Chen Mu felt something cool crawling on his face, and he subconsciously reached out to touch it.

It was a little cold to the touch, flat and smooth, and the slight coolness sobered him up, and through the moonlight through the window, he saw a pair of bright and moving eyes exposed outside the black clothes, staring at him motionlessly, his gaze moved down, a silver-white knife against his face, the blade pressed against the skin, and it could cut into it at any time.

"Ahh......h

"Don't scream! If you scream again, I'll cut your tongue off, and now I have something to ask you, and I won't scream again when I let go, and if you agree, nod your head." ”

"Uh-huh!" Chen Mu dared to disagree, now he was the meat on the chopping board, but the blade was close to the skin, he was afraid that he might cut his face with a single head, and his mouth was covered again, so he could only make a "uh-huh" sound in a hurry.

"Count you as acquaintances!" The knife of the man in black slapped Chen Mu's face, and then let go of the hand covering Chen Mu's mouth, and suddenly found that something was wrong, and turned over his hand to see that his palm was stained with Chen Mu's saliva, "Hey, it's disgusting!"

The man in black wiped his hands clean on Chen Mugai's quilt.

The bright moon shone through the window, shining on the quilt on Chen Mu's chest, and also shining on the face of the man in black, Chen Mu's head was in the dark, and he secretly looked at the man in black by the moonlight.

The whole face of the man in black is only exposed to the outside, his long eyelashes are curled upward, and his big eyes are extremely beautiful under the interweaving of light and shadow, looking up from Chen Mu's point of view, like a sparkling water surface, reflecting the bright moon outside the window.

Just now, Chen Mu was awakened from his dream, he was more frightened, he didn't pay too much attention to the man in black, and saw the beautiful eyes of the man in black, which relieved his emotions a lot, and he realized that the voice just now was a girl's, and he could judge that he was not old.

Looking at the dress of the man in black and the knife in her hand, he can conclude that this is the snitch who makes the town gossip!

After a little thought, Chen Mu knew what she was doing.

"Where's the jade pendant?" Sure enough, the female snitch questioned him and confirmed his suspicions.

Chen Mu didn't think about the jade pendant last night, it was really because he was very tired when he came home after picking up water for a day, so he fell asleep on the bed.

At this point, he had no choice but to stick to his face, and he pointed to the coat next to the bed, "in the pocket of the coat." ”

The female snitch reached out and pulled the coat next to the bed, fumbled around, and finally found the pocket of the coat and took out the jade pendant.

She picked up the jade pendant and faced the moonlight, and after confirming that the jade pendant was the one she had dropped, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then put down the knife against Chen Mu's face.

"Don't tell anyone about this, if I hear it, hum!" the female snitch sneered, while the knife in her hand slashed a few times in the air, "Be careful that I come back and give you a few knives!"

After speaking, without waiting for Chen Mu to answer, he was about to leave, but he just turned around and didn't take a few steps, he immediately lay on the ground, and rolled under Chen Mu's bed a few times.

Chen Mu didn't know what she was doing, but he couldn't talk either.

His head was in the dark, only a part of his body was illuminated by the moonlight, he turned his head to look out the window, and found two people standing on the roof in the distance, he carefully distinguished, through his body shape and dress, he roughly determined that one of them was Elder Su who he had seen today, and the other one did not know.

They seemed to be discussing something, thinking of the female snitch under the bed, Chen Mu could probably understand what was going on.

The scene was deadlocked, but Chen Mu's eyelids fought, and after a few rounds, he unconsciously closed, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already the next day, rubbing his worried eyes, the moonlight had faded, the sky had not completely brightened, he unconsciously looked at the roof outside the window, suddenly remembered the female snitch, and shocked him into a cold sweat.

Tapping lightly on the bed, he whispered, "That...... Are you still there?"

After a long time, when no one answered, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully crawled to the side of the bed and poked his head down from the edge of the bed, but there was no one under the bed, and the female snitch was gone.

Chen Mu sat back on the bed, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, reached out and took the coat and put it on, after putting it on, he touched the pocket of his clothes, and the jade pendant inside was gone.

He straightened his clothes, got up and folded the quilt, and prepared to go to work at the blacksmith's shop.

Walking through the hall, I remembered that my grandfather had told him when he left that there was honey cake in his house, and remembered that yesterday Qingyan's sister said that she wanted to eat honey cake, he decided to take the honey cake to the blacksmith shop to see if the amount was enough, if it was enough, he would not have to buy steamed bread this morning, if it was not enough, he would buy steamed bread again.

The room was still a little dark, he pushed open the door of his grandfather's room, took two steps inside, and suddenly a silver light flashed, and he saw a bright knife on his neck.

"Ahh

He leaned against the wall, his hand on the half-open door, his head tilted back, trying to dodge the blade.

"What are you doing here?" A fair-skinned little face came over, Chen Mu was attracted by this moving appearance, he didn't have to think about it to know, this was the female snitch last night, he couldn't help but cry out, why did this person still live in his house?

"I ...... Come over and get something. Chen Mu explained, and then he felt the need to explain again, "It's too dark, I didn't see your face clearly!"

It's okay not to say it, but as soon as she said it, the female snitch realized that she didn't have a mask, and quickly took out the mask from her body and put it on.

After the two people on the roof outside left last night, she came out of Chen Mu's room, thinking about leaving, but thinking that there was another person outside who was even more powerful than Elder Su, and now she might be waiting for her to appear outside, she decided to stay here first and leave later.

She had already sensed a few rooms here, and only Chen Mu's life fluctuations meant that there was no one else in the room, so she walked into Chen Xian's room with confidence.

As soon as she entered, she saw the honey cake on the table, she couldn't help but pick up a piece, took off the mask and tasted it, she thought it was delicious, and picked up a second piece......

A large bag of honey cake entered her little belly in the process of carrying it piece by piece, and after eating, she was a little sleepy, so she simply lay down on the bed next to her and fell asleep, until Chen Mu came in.

"Oh, take something and hurry up!" she took the knife away from Chen Mu's neck and turned sideways to make way for Chen Mu.

Chen Mu stared at her, wanting to say, this is my home!

She saw Chen Mu standing still, playing with the knife in her hand, and smiled evilly: "What's the matter?

Chen Mu shook his head again and again, "No!

"Then come in and get it!"

"What's going on?" Chen Mu felt bitter in his heart, and he was a little skeptical that this was his family.

Walking to the table, he didn't see the honey flower cake, only saw a paper bag, there were some residues in it, he touched the paper bag with his fingers, and there was the oil overflowing from the honey flower cake on it, which was slippery to the touch.

...... "He doesn't know what to say, isn't this thief just stealing the secret books of the exercises?

The female snitch noticed Chen Mu's movements and understood that he was coming in to get something, and she blushed unconsciously, feeling that she couldn't stay here anymore, so she was about to slip away, she coughed, "Who is that, you take it slowly, this girl has no time to accompany you, don't leave it at that!"

After such a long time, she thought that it shouldn't be too dangerous to go out now, so she pulled the mask up, jumped to the window, and then turned over and walked out of the room, and disappeared from Chen Mu's field of vision in a few flashes.
