In early spring, in the early morning, the mountains are empty and the smoke is crossed.

The warm sunlight slanted from the side of the mountain into the mist-shrouded village, causing the white frost on the huts in the fields to rise and rise the steam.

Outside the small courtyard of a farmhouse at the edge of the village, a handsome man dressed in a cyan moire brocade robe and looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old stood next to a simple firewood door, raised his right hand and knocked lightly on the firewood door.

Knock Knock Knock –

After three soft sounds, the courtyard was still quiet.

The sunlight shone on half of the man's body, reflecting the emerald jade plate around his waist, and the man's brow slowly furrowed.

It was the third time he had knocked on the door, there was someone in the house, and he could clearly hear the breathing, but for some reason the man didn't come out of the house to check.

The man hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his voice slightly and called out a little unaccustomed.

"Anyone?"

"Ahh

At the same time as the man spoke, a woman's terrible and frightened cry suddenly sounded in the village house, which was so loud that it just overshadowed the man's voice.

Immediately afterwards, the barking of dogs and the crowing of chickens, mixed with the cries of women, sounded one after another from not far away, intermittently.

"Daddy kid...... What happened to you...... Woowoo...... Someone's coming...... Come on...... Help ......"

Under such a movement, the originally quiet and peaceful small mountain village immediately became noisy, and the villagers opened their doors one after another, followed the sound to inquire about each other, and rushed to the place where the sound came.

The man was still standing upright at the door of the farmhouse, not even turning his head to look at the place where the voice came.

The man's family was located at the edge of the village, some distance from the next house, separated by a row of stone courtyard walls and a fruit tree, so his appearance did not attract the attention of the villagers.

Because of this commotion, footsteps also sounded in the courtyard of this farmhouse, and soon with the sound of "squeak" opening the door, the chai door was quickly opened from the inside.

A delicate little girl with a little unkempt hair, wearing a gray cotton coat with white-washed starch and pudding at the hem of her cuffs, appeared behind the door.

She had gone out to check on the movement when she heard the movement, but she didn't expect that there would be a person standing in front of her house, so she was startled by the sturdiness.

"Ahh

The little girl seemed to be frightened, and the hand that pulled the door was so frightened that she retracted it violently, but she did not scream loudly, but let out a low snort.

After coming back to her senses, the little girl patted her chest, and looked at the strange man outside the door with an innocent and unknown expression, obviously not like an ordinary villager, and her eyes seemed to ask, 'Why are you standing in front of someone else's house so scary?'

The man's face was calm.

"I knocked on the door."

The little girl then remembered that she did seem to have heard a knock on the door before, when she was still in a dream, and every household in the village called the door directly, because she did not realize that it was a knock, and thought it was the sound of the wind.

The little girl spoke suspiciously.

"What's the matter with you?"

The voice was crisp and childish.

She didn't ask him who he was looking for, her family didn't have such splendid relatives, and she shouldn't have come to the edge of the village, not to mention that there was such a movement in the village at the moment, but this person looked like he had never heard it, which was really strange.

A kind smile appeared on the man's face, and without doing a little laying, he suddenly asked in a natural tone.

"I'm looking for a woman with a jade bead on her body, but I don't know that the girl is wearing a jade bead around her neck."

At this time in early spring, the little girl's clothes were tightly dressed, and the neckline covered half of her neck, and it was impossible to tell from the appearance that the little girl had something on her neck.

But the man's tone seemed to be sure that she must have something around her neck, but he wasn't sure if it was a jade bead.

When the little girl heard such a clueless sentence at first glance, the expression on her face condensed slightly, and her originally somewhat absent-minded eyes instantly became sharp, and then a trace of suppressed anger appeared on her face, as if Fang Cai's expression change was caused by this trace of anger.

"I don't know what jade beads you are talking about, I didn't bring anything, you found the wrong person, you can ask other people."

There was undisguised impatience in her tone of reply.

In this day and age, it is very inappropriate for a strange man to listen to a woman's intimate wear, even if she is only a little girl under ten years old, so her anger is justified and just right.

The man didn't seem to see the little girl's displeasure, or didn't think he had said anything wrong, and he still had a smile on his face.

"You brought it, right here."

As he spoke, he casually raised his index finger and pointed it to the underside of the little girl's collarbone.

The little girl was stunned by his movements, she followed his fingers to her chest, and only after a moment did she react and took a step back by the collar of her own coat, with an unbelievable look on her face and a majestic anger.

"No, no! Why are you so strange, suddenly come to someone's door early in the morning and make a gesture to someone! If you do this again, I'm going to call my parents! ”

Actually, that finger didn't touch her.

As she spoke, the little girl turned her head to the courtyard, and was about to shout, but before she could speak, she heard the calm words of the man outside the door.

"There's no one else in this courtyard but you."

The little girl's posture froze, the anger on her face quickly faded, and when she turned back, she had become calm and vigilant.

"Who are you, why do you know that I am the only one in the house, and what do you want to do?"

This time her voice was still childish, but the words she uttered were not as calm as a child of her age would react to the same thing.

But the man didn't notice anything different, but instead clasped his fists and saluted with the same expression, and only spoke after standing up straight.

"In Xia Lin Jin, a student of Cuiwei Academy in Zhanzhou, I was ordered by the mountain chief to look for a girl wearing a jade bead, and I only heard a breathing sound at the girl's house, so I knew that you were the only one here."

The little girl looked coldly at the man who called himself Lin Jin and couldn't find a mistake in his salute, she didn't avoid it or return the salute, her expression didn't change, but she was secretly contemplating in her heart.

Zhanzhou she heard her father say that it is a big city thousands of miles away from here, the central city in the south of the Jiuhua Continent, although she has not heard of Cuiwei Academy, but there are not many schools in the Jiuhua Continent that can be called academies, and most of the people who can enter the academy to study are not ordinary people.

This Lin Jin's clothes and the sound of breathing can be heard in the next room show that he is not only not an ordinary person, but also not an ordinary person.

There is also the jade bead, which she does have hanging around her neck, which is the bead she wore when she crossed over from another world and was born in her mother's womb, and this bead came from another world and had nothing to do with it.

Because of the special origin of the beads, in order to avoid causing trouble, since the birth of the little girl, she and her family have never mentioned this matter to outsiders, with her parents died of illness two years ago, she thought that no one else in this world knew about the existence of jade beads.

But the man in front of her found her, and asked her if she had beads, and this person's identity didn't seem to be simple, which made her last trace of luck also wiped out.

She has known since she was a child that this world is different from her original world, there are really some miracles here, and those miracles are hidden in the lives of ordinary people, but ordinary people don't know about them.

There are both miraculous and extraordinary means, and it seems that it is no coincidence that the man found himself.

The little girl did not ask how the man knew that he had beads on him, but asked with a cold face as she lowered her right hand with a collar to her waist.

"What are you looking for the woman wearing jade beads?"

The young man who called himself Lin Jin spoke calmly.

"The mountain chief said that Dai Yuzhu's woman is his granddaughter, and if we meet her, she will take it back to the academy."
