Volume 2, Chapter 122 of the Eastern Wilderness, the city lord trusts the orphan
Mei Jiege sipped the tea in the exquisite teacup while scanning the night joy opposite with a somewhat strange gaze.
"I don't have a temperate temperament, did you take the wrong medicine? Young master, I'm not a girl from Chunhualou. Ye Xunhuan was stared at by Mei Jie, and he couldn't help but feel good.
Mei Jie smiled, and didn't care about the young master who came to the young master at night. The Night Priest must be a lonely man in the end, maybe he is really the young master of a certain family.
Besides, Chunhualou, that's where he often goes, he is old and strong, and he has no intention of marrying another one. It is also a matter of course to go to the kiln and drink flowers and wine and sleep with girls.
"Pastor Night, I didn't finish asking last time, I'll ask again today, what do you think of my Nika?" Mei Jie stared at Ye Xunhuan without blinking, and suddenly asked.
"You don't have a temperance, you didn't come to protect the media for your daughter, Nika is so small that you can ask. Ye Xunhuan cocked Erlang's legs, twisted a recorded Qingxin fruit and threw it in his mouth.
Getting married at the age of ten abounds, my Nika is naturally beautiful, I see pity, especially for you," Mei Jie chattered and sold.
"Stop, I don't think you really took the wrong medicine today, and it's incorrigible, did you have a father who did this? Didn't you push Nika into the fire pit?" Ye Xunhuan stretched out his hand to stop Mei Jie's endless words, crying and laughing.
Mei Jiezhen sighed softly, his expression suddenly became serious, he looked at Ye Xunhuan, and said: "Ye Xunhuan, I'll call you by your name, I'm not joking with you, but very serious, although Nika is small and naΓ―ve, her heart is carved out of the same mold as her deceased mother." I can see that her feelings for you have in some ways surpassed my feelings for my father, and she is very attached to you, so I want to entrust her to you, and I hope you will treat her well. β
The smile on Ye Xunhuan's face gradually faded, and he looked at Mei Jiecheng and asked slowly, "Something happened?"
Mei Jie was stunned, smiled bitterly, and said, "You can promise me if you are looking for joy in the night, even if I beg you." β
Ye Xunhuan realized the seriousness of the situation and asked, "What's going on?" β
Mei Jiegen shook his head, looked at Ye Xunhuan firmly and said, "Don't ask so much, I just need your promise." β
Ye Xunhuan was silent for a while, and nodded: "Okay, I promise you to take care of her, take care of her like your own sister." β
"Whatever you want," Mega was about to say more, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Nika staggering over like a happy little white rabbit, and couldn't help but stop talking.
"Brother Xunhuan, come with me, I have something to show you. Nika glanced at her father and whispered to her.
"What's that?" Ye Xun asked with a smile.
"Let's talk about it when we get out. "Nika's mysterious secret way.
"Nika, what are you two whispering, and my father can't know?" Mei Jie said dissatisfied.
Nika turned her head and grimaced at her father, and ran outside with Ye Xunhuan, but there was no show, and Mega kept staring at her back, muttering something to herself, her eyes full of endless pity and sadness.
........
Ye Xunhuan was taken to the eastern outskirts of Shenwu City by Nikara, he turned his head around and looked around, and asked with a smile: "Okay, little Nika, what are you pulling me over?
Nika giggled and pulled out a black metal box from a knee-high bush of grass.
"What's in there?" Ye Xunhuan raised his eyebrows, he already saw that this box was very unusual, it should be the kind of magic box that stores extremely valuable items, and it takes several keys at the same time to open, once it encounters violent destruction, it will immediately trigger the magic circle in it, and although the box is destroyed, the things inside will also be destroyed.
"Hehe, this is my father's treasure chest, I always wanted to see what was inside, but he hid the key very well, I worked hard, and finally stole the three keys to open the box while he was not paying attention, but I can't use the three keys at the same time, so I have to find you, Brother Huan. Nika smirked.
"Alas, it's hard to guard against thieves, and if you know it, you'll be so angry. Ye Xunhuan deliberately sighed and shook his head.
"He won't, he'll just praise me for being smart. Nika looked up.
Ye Xunhuan smiled, the old undisciplined one really had the possibility to praise her, this father and daughter can't be reasonable.
Ye Xunhuan has a key in one hand, Nika holds the third key, inserts it into the lock hole at the same time, twists it three times to the right and then two times to the left, and then presses it hard, and the lid of the box suddenly pops out.
"Hehe, little Nika, are you sure it's not your father playing with you?" Ye Xunhuan looked at the toy-like little wooden sword in the box and smiled.
"No, I've seen him hide this box like a treasure since I was a child, and this wooden sword must be a hidden mystery. Nika affirmed, grabbing the crudely made wooden sword and studying it carefully.
Ye Xunhuan looked at little Nika and remembered Mei Jiegen's entrustment, and always felt like a man on his back. Something must have happened to the old man, needless to say, this metal spell box must have been deliberately found by Meiger to Nika, did it have a different meaning or was it just to satisfy Nika's curiosity and sense of accomplishment?
If it's the former, then why? If it's the latter, then he's a good father.
At this moment, Nika suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Xunhuan, this wooden sword has a mechanism, I know that there must be another mystery." β
Nika found a small imperceptible mechanism at the hilt of the sword, and with a slight press, she saw that the center of the wooden sword had broken and a piece of sheepskin had fallen off.
"Brother Xunhuan, it's a treasure map, it looks like we'll be there after crossing that hill, let's go quickly.
Nika spread out the sheepskin and saw a clear route marked on it, and at the end of the route was the word treasure written in a circle.
Ye Xunhuan took a look at it, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he could now conclude that this spell box was deliberately stolen by Nika without discipline, and it took a little effort to get such a childish mechanism and treasure map. He has been to the so-called treasure hiding place on the treasure map, where the scenery is very beautiful, there are streams and waterfalls, birds and flowers, it seems that he is just trying to satisfy his daughter's curiosity.
"Okay, let's go. Ye Xunhuan nodded, it won't take much time to get from here to there, and he can rush back before dark.
Although Nika grew up at the foot of Wanzhong Mountain, she was never allowed to enter the mountain without discipline. She is only allowed to roam in small towns on the edge.
