In a small forest on the outskirts of Gusu City, the door of the Ye family was still tightly closed.

A handsome boy of fifteen or sixteen was now frowning deeply, pacing back and forth in the courtyard.

Ye Yu is the only son in the family, that is, the next river god. There are very few floods in Gusu because of the credit of their family. Although with their abilities, they are far from becoming immortals and gods. It's just that in this realm, they have the strongest demon power and the ability to resist water, so the nearby monsters call them river gods.

Gusu was born from water, so water is particularly important to the people. Every year on the day of the flood in June, the people on the outskirts of Gusu still retain this ancient custom.

Send the boys and girls who have just turned 12 to worship the river god, so that the wind and rain will be good in the future.

As the river god, the Ye family, of course, accepted it with peace of mind. Generally speaking, Ye Yu likes to eat the little girl, while his father eats the little boy. Of course, occasionally they will also give some arms and calves to Lao Yang.

They don't sympathize with humanity, after all, everything has a price.

The Ye family, as a moat, guards a rich land, and it is not a big deal to eat one or two people occasionally to satisfy their hunger. But on the contrary, the little girl in front of her said that she would not let him eat the two delicacies this year.

If she didn't let them eat, she didn't force them to let the two children go.

That's a year's harvest.

The girl seemed to be slowly getting used to her time at their house, and no longer pestered her to ask why she didn't let her out.

It's just that the small figure is becoming more and more silent.

Suddenly, one day, Ye Yuannie suddenly asked Lao Yang to open the door of the Ye family, and asked Ye Yu to accompany Liu Jiuli home.

In the fourth year of Jingyou in the Northern Song Dynasty, Gusu in autumn had an inexplicable rainstorm, and the rain could cover up all secrets and wash away the evils.

After the rain, the sun is shining, the autumn is high and cool, and there is no cloud in the sky.

Ah Li looked at the ruins in front of him and the two dead trees that had been scorched, and couldn't help but cry like rain.

In the past few months, she has been locked up in the mansion by the Ye family, and she feels faintly uneasy in her heart.

Really, is the end of what Ye Yu said is that her father and mother left her?

Obviously, this spring, my father and mother are still waiting for her to come home to eat braised pork ribs, why are they not here now. Ye Yu said that she was a willow demon, and her parents were both willow demons, but why were they killed so easily as monsters and became a pile of dead wood?

Obviously, in the autumn, Daddy will take her to the dock where he works, put her in a small corner, and she can obediently help Daddy guard the goods.

Obviously, in the autumn, my mother will teach her to sew and mend clothes, she is clumsy and always hurts herself, so my mother will touch her little head, and then say gently, Ah Li doesn't hurt, we will all learn in the future, okay?

Obviously, they are an ordinary family, living an ordinary secular life, why, they are demons, and they will provoke such a fierce Taoist priest?

Liu Jiuli tearfully hugged the two dead woods, and the tears hit the two logs drop by drop, penetrating into them along the texture of the black scorched wood. Ye Yu stood silently behind her, and there was not the slightest smile on the face that had always been smiling.

He looked at the thin little girl in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

He shouldn't have said those things before.

"Your house has been destroyed, come back to Ye Mansion with me. Ye Yu said softly, and said that he would never take in Ye Jiuli in the future.

Ah Li pulled out a bleak smile, "No, Brother Ye Yu, thank you." Help me thank my uncle, I'm going to accompany my father. ”

"You can't live alone in a human race. Human beings are not as good as your father and mother think, you see that your family has become like this now, except for you, there is no one to mourn. Ye Yu clenched his fists and said.

"Hmm. Ye Jiu cried for too long, and he didn't have the energy to argue loudly at the moment, so he just said weakly: "They used to be so good to me and liked me so much, don't worry, they won't be embarrassed for me." I'm almost seventeen, and the girls from other families are married, so I can take care of myself. ”

Ye Yu frowned and said, "But if they know that you are a demon, you will be in big trouble." Moreover, you don't have a demon law, if that Taoist priest comes again, you can't run, only we can protect you. ”

Liu Jiuli still shook his head stubbornly and said, "No, Brother Ye." I have something I have to do, I must find that Taoist priest for revenge, you don't have to worry about me. ”

Ye Yu scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and said embarrassedly: "Ah Li, if you insist on going, I will accompany you, anyway, my father is here in this moat, and you don't know where that monster is, right?"

Ah Li didn't speak, she knew that with her own ability, she might not even be able to see the shadow of that Taoist priest.

"If you want revenge, I can teach you. Ye Yu sighed and said, "I know what you want to do, but you can't do it." That Taoist priest can't even beat your father and mother combined, no, there are other demon spirits, so many monsters want to kill him, but he is still alive and well. And he killed more demons, and even my dad wasn't necessarily his opponent. ”

"What is the price? I remember you said that everything has a price. Gusu wanted a peaceful river, and he needed to sacrifice two boys and girls to the river god every year, and my father and mother wanted to live a human life, and they were mixed in the world, so there were Taoist priests to punish them. I want you to teach me revenge now, what do you need?" Liu Jiuli burst into tears on his face, looking pitiful, but there was hatred and obsession buried in his eyes.

"I need you to relieve my boredom usually, it's too stuffy in the woods, so I'll come to this world for a walk. Ye Yu regained his nonchalant smile, and at some point, he had another dog's tail grass on his mouth.
