On the outskirts of S City, Meng's Manor.

This is the fifth year after the death of Meng Baiye, the son of the Meng family, or rather, the fifth year of his disappearance.

If Meng Baiye hadn't died, he would have been eighteen years old this year.

When Meng Sui, the head of the Meng family, accidentally killed his own biological son, the Meng family did not hold any grand funeral for Meng Baiye, but contacted the funeral home of the Meng family's fixed queen, and after a simple handover, the matter was hastily resolved. However, the next day, the funeral home sent an urgent letter - Meng Baiye's body was missing!

The Meng family used a lot of resources and strength, but after a search, they still found nothing, and in this way, the search for Meng Baiye continued intermittently for three years, and after that, it became a 'secret' that the entire Meng family kept silent.

The Meng family has huge power and wealth, and not only has a huge voice in S City, but also has a certain influence in the country and the world. Some people say that this family made a fortune on ancient cultural relics, and some people say that this family is a financial family, but the wealth and history of the Meng family can really be traced back to the ancient Tang Dynasty.

Along with those great wealth, there is also a green jade post.

On this green jade post, there is a prophecy printed on it, which seems to have been obtained by the ancestor of the Meng family from a certain master. In this prophecy, it is said that there will be an extraordinary person in the Meng family, whose abilities are not only different from ordinary people, but also like immortals, and this Meng descendant will reveal his endowment at the age of thirteen. This kind of endowment, to the small to say, can glorify the lintel and prosper the Meng family, to the big said that it will benefit the world and become a great power. And in this prophecy, the time when that extraordinary descendant appeared is exactly this century.

The green jade post is glowing with green light all the time, extremely transparent, especially bright at night, after a long time of gazing, you will even feel cold in body and mind, that feeling is very wonderful. It seems that there is some mysterious natural force in the body of that jade. The Meng family has kept it at home for generations as a treasure for the family heirloom.

At this time, the world economy is changing, and the Meng family is also in decline, whether it is the people in the family or the business outside the home, it is sluggish. Meng Sui, the head of the Meng family, saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He had a hunch that the extraordinary people mentioned in the prophecy must be his next generation.

As a result, Meng Sui poured out the resources of the entire family to cultivate Meng Baiye. not only gave him the best living conditions, but also searched for all kinds of talented people everywhere, hoping to stimulate Meng Baiye's extraordinary endowment as soon as possible. However, after Meng Baiye visited a Taoist priest named Lin Jiu in Maoshan on his thirteenth birthday, Meng Sui's dream of revitalizing the clan was shattered.

The disappointed Meng Sui lost control of his emotions, took out the electric baton used to educate Meng Baiye, and under the continuous ruthless whipping, Meng Baiye finally lost his breath in the living room of his home.

Meng Sui does not have only one child, in addition to Meng Baiye, he also has a younger sister named Meng Fanye. Meng Baiye and Meng Baiye are half-siblings. Meng Baiye's mother, surnamed Bai, died when he was just born. Meng Sui had no choice but to marry another one and gave birth to a daughter named Meng Fanye. Because of this, Meng Sui's education methods and attitudes towards the two children are also completely different.

Sister Meng Fanye looks no different from other children, ordinary and ordinary, has never shown any extraordinary wisdom and intelligence, and her emotional management is also very poor, compared to her brother Meng Baiye, it is a world of difference. Meng Sui is sure that even if Meng Baiye dies, Meng Fanye will not be the extraordinary person in the prophecy, just let him do what he wants and grow up happily.

Meng Fanye and his brother Meng Baiye don't even get along very little, and the relationship between the two is almost none. Even on the day Meng Baiye died, Meng Fanye, who was only eight years old, did not have much emotional reaction. The two were born under the same roof, but they were like strangers, thanks to Meng Sui's almost deformed family lifestyle.

.....

On this day, the little Meng Fanye was still sitting in the special piano room jingling and playing the piano, Meng Sui walked by the living room and was annoyed when he heard the sound of the piano.

"Stop playing! Jingle all day and night, are you annoying?! Meng Sui impatiently ripped off his tie, threw it away, and then sat on the sofa. The servant behind him hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the tie on the ground, and quietly did the aftermath for Meng Sui. There was still an intermittent piano sound in the piano room, and Meng Sui got up and smashed the ashtray on the coffee table in the direction of the piano room.

"Smack——! With a bang, the glass ashtray shattered on the ground, and Xiao Meng Fanye in the piano room cried "wow". Several servants in the room were frightened for a moment. The housekeeper hurriedly walked from another place, his steps were fast and silent, he also glanced at Meng Sui with some fear, and quickly approached the piano room, took Xiao Meng Fanye's hand and walked out of the piano room, and went upstairs back to the bedroom.

After a while, the butler came down from upstairs, and in the center of the first floor of this huge villa, there was an ancestral green jade post. He glanced at Qingyu Ti and walked to Meng Sui's side alone. The butler waved his hand, and all the servants around him left.

"Mr. Meng, Fanye is also thirteen years old this year.....

"Hmm."

"Mr. Meng....."

Meng Sui sighed slightly and stood up, "I know what you have to say, but it's impossible for her, choose a school for her, go abroad in the future, and let her not come back." ”

The housekeeper was slightly stunned, and looked at Meng Sui in some surprise.

"Don't forget, if Bai Ye is still alive, he will be eighteen this year." After Meng Sui finished speaking, he put on the suit jacket he had just taken off, "I'm not coming back tonight." ”

With that, Meng Sui walked out of the door. The whole villa was quiet again, the solemn dark tones of the room overwhelmed the atmosphere, the cold marble floor reflected the green jade stickers in the glass case, and the faint green light spread out in this unmanned living room, slightly eerie.

.....

Little Meng Fanye lay on the big bed in her bedroom and cried aggrievedly, today is her thirteenth birthday, her father seems to have forgotten this day for a long time, and the young Meng Fanye is even more sad and uncomfortable when he scolds himself for practicing.

With a soft sound of "squeak-", Meng Fanye's bedroom door was opened, and a little girl about the same age as her stood at the door, looking at the little Meng Fanye who was lying on the bed crying with a cramped and uneasy expression.

The clothes on the little girl's body are very different from Meng Fanye's, compared to Meng Fanye's new and fashionable brand-name dresses, the clothes on this little girl's body seem small and long, it seems that she has been worn for a long time, washed many times, and there is a small hole in this little girl's shoulder.

"Duoduo ....." Xiao Meng Fanye noticed the appearance of the little girl, she stopped crying, turned her head, and looked at the little girl who was a little restrained while wiping her tears and sobbing.

Duoduo cautiously walked into the bedroom, walked to the side of little Meng Fanye's bed, and suddenly stretched out a hand and handed Meng Fanye a lollipop.

"Wow! Lollipop! When Xiao Meng Fanye saw the lollipop, he sat up excitedly and took the lollipop with a smile. On weekdays, Meng Sui hardly let her come into contact with these inferior sweets.

"Xiao Ye, happy birthday!" Duoduo said with a smile.

"Thank you, Duoduo. You are my best friend! Xiao Meng Fanye was very happy, although this Duoduo in front of her was the daughter of the maid at home, she understood herself better than anyone else, and by virtue of this, Xiao Meng Fanye regarded her as her closest friend.

"But ....." the little Meng Fanye suddenly lowered his head.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ye?" Duoduo blinked his big clear eyes and looked at Xiao Meng Fanye with a serious face.

"I still want ..... Orange-flavored lollipops....." Little Meng Fanye said embarrassedly, "But, I'm afraid that my father will find out that he won't let me eat candy, and if he knows, he will beat me like he used to beat my brother....."

"No problem! Wrap it up on me! Duoduo patted his chest, "Your father went out today, I heard that he won't come back at night, let's eat faster, he won't find out!" ”

"Really?" Xiao Meng Fanye raised his head in surprise, and then lowered his head again, after all, his father went out, and he didn't know about the servants at home.

"Really! I'll go now, buy you a few more flavors, we'll have enough for today! Duoduo said with a smile, and immediately turned around and strode out of the room.

.....

It was evening, the sky was getting darker, and the red light reflected on the road in the distance was getting dimmer. In the twilight, the shadows of the jagged trees swayed in the evening breeze, making it even colder.

At this time, Duoduo had already sneaked out and returned to the villa along the path outside the manor, her pockets bulging and filled with lollipops of various flavors. Duoduo stepped on the curb stone and sang happily, she was looking forward to the surprised and happy expression on her face when she saw Xiao Meng Fanye.

Suddenly, Duoduo stopped moving, her steps suddenly stopped, and she stumbled, almost falling off the curb. Duoduo hurriedly stood up and looked at the intersection in front of him with some panic. I don't know when, in front of Duoduo, who was originally empty, suddenly there was an extra person.

Duoduo looked intently and saw a young woman standing in front of her, standing straight and motionless, wearing a brown dress.

Is it Mom? It doesn't seem to be .....

Against the light, Duoduo really couldn't see the woman's face clearly, so she took a few steps forward, rubbed her eyes, and raised her head again, wanting to take a closer look at the woman, but found that it was empty and there was nothing in front of her. The woman, gone!

Duoduo was shocked in her heart, and in an instant, even her breathing stagnated.

Could it be that I was dazzled and hallucinated just now?

No, at this time, who will be idle around the Meng family's manor?

Maybe it's a visitor..... But didn't the head of the Meng family go out?

Duoduo was both scared and confused. She rubbed her eyes again and looked around, only to see that there was no one.

What about people? Could it be that I read it wrong?

But the woman I saw just now was so real, how could she be dazzled?

A cool wind blew, and Duoduo felt a chill in her back. The woman who flashed by made her feel frightened, and Duoduo suddenly remembered the horror story that her mother told when she was a child about a child who didn't come home at night and was taken away by a ghost. Thinking of this, Duoduo suddenly felt that her scalp was numb, and her heart was beating rapidly, she changed from walking to running, and fled in a puff of smoke.

And at the intersection where she passed just now, the woman suddenly appeared again, and the crazy Duoduo didn't notice it, the woman was staring at her behind her!

The woman chuckled, her face as pale as a piece of paper. She stretched out her hand, straightened her wind-swept hair, and turned her hand outward, revealing an eye that grew in the palm of her hand. The eye had no eyelids or eyelids, only a bare, bloodshot eyeball, which dripped, up, down, left and right.....
