The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, the white horse passes through the gap, and four years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Liu Lianyue and I are inseparable, she always follows me, as docile as a lamb, whenever I do something risky, she stands against the wall, her eyes wide in horror, for fear that I will make a mistake. Liu Lianyue hates books the most, but when I go to Nanshan Bookstore every day, she still sticks to me every step.

Outside the bookstore was a bustling and noisy city, and she sat on the stone steps at the doorway, singing while stirring the dust on the ground with small wooden branches.

Her singing voice is clear and pure, like a celestial spirit bird.

The seventh day of March, I will never mistake the date.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, I took a long breath and closed the last page of the book, I finished reading all the books in the store, and even the new goods did not escape my "poisonous hands", at this time, I could hear the noise of the city and Liu Lianyue's singing, she sang better and better, but at this time my attention was not on her at all.

A middle-aged man casually looked at the rows of book titles in the store with his hands behind his back, he was dressed in green clothes and white socks, his clothes were obviously of the highest quality, smooth and shiny, and his hair was meticulously combed, obviously a high-class nobleman.

So why did he go to this little bookstore in the market?

His nasolabial folds are very deep, his thin lips are always tight, and there is a vertical line between his eyebrows, even if he doesn't frown, it is quite obvious, he must have been quite handsome when he was young, and he now looks sad and disgusting.

I know he's been following us for a few days now, and a few days ago I stole a big famous stingy guy. I didn't pay much attention to him when I turned my head and saw him staring at me thoughtfully, and when I gave the brother all the broken silver, I saw him standing in the shadow in the corner, and I felt that something was wrong.

He must have come to Lian'er.

I slowly inserted the book back in its place, pretending to look at the title, then turned around suddenly, grabbed Liu Lianyue and ran.

Liu Lianyue screamed in fright, but only for a moment, she struggled to keep up with me.

I'm not afraid of adults, but his aura ······ But his aura creeps me out, and he has a power that I can't understand.

I dragged Liu Lianyue around the messy alley and went around to our meeting point.

Should ······ Got rid of it, right?

Liu Lianyue leaned against the wall and gasped, her little face pale.

"Hide and Seek······ Have you had enough?"

I was startled and looked back at the middle-aged man with his hands behind his back and smiling kindly.

But there was no hint of a smile in those eyes.

I rushed at him with my hands clenched into fists and shouted, "Li'er, you go quickly!"

"Huh———" His palm did not touch the corner of my clothes at all, but the wind in his sleeve had already shaken me and I flew out, I was suffocating in breath, and I was in mid-air, and the middle-aged man's right hand was long, holding my wrist like an iron hoop, and he pulled me back.

I was dizzy and spat blood with a "wow".

The middle-aged man looked at Liu Lianyue and said lightly, "You're not leaving?"

Liu Lianyue's pretty face turned pale with fright, forced herself to calm down, and said in a trembling voice: "I······ I'm not leaving, you······ You let her go!"

The middle-aged man was slightly surprised: "Tsk, it's very righteous." ”

"Slut, Lao Tzu fell for your plot," I scolded him, although the words were vulgar, but the use of them didn't seem quite right, the middle-aged man couldn't help but say, interjected: "Sluts generally scold women, Lao Tzu is also the name of a man in the market,"

I listened and continued to say angrily: "Every time you slaughter more dogs, every time you read more people, your grandmother's ······"

"Then you steal people's money and it is righteous?" the middle-aged man seemed to be quite interested.

"I'm fucking robbing the rich and helping the poor, it's about you," my wrist hurt to the bone, but I still scolded endlessly, while giving Liu Lianyue a look and telling her to leave quickly, "Your grandmother's, the hook thief is the thief of the country, I think you are mostly fucking stealing the country, and you still have the face to say that Lao Tzu is ······"

The more the middle-aged man listened, the more surprised he became, this yellow-haired child with a face full of soot and sweat actually had such insight, not to mention that sometimes he was very elegant and quoted scriptures, and sometimes he was vulgar like a ruffian.

"Why are you still standing there?" I finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily at Liu Lianyue.

I had never heard me speak so harshly to her, Liu Lianyue's tears finally rolled down, trembling all over, and crying: "I'm not leaving!"

The middle-aged man said coldly: "That's enough." ”

"I'm going to fuck you, you bully the small, and you have a big face to say here······" Before I could finish my sentence, he raised his hand and slapped me, and I flew straight out, slamming against the wall, my eyes were black for a while, and I swallowed the blood gushing up to my throat with a "grunt", and struggled for a long time, but I couldn't stand up.

"Ah," Liu Lianyue exclaimed, begging, "Don't, don't hit her." ”

I raised my chin, and although I couldn't speak, my eyes were full of contempt and pride, and there was no hint of begging for mercy.

The middle-aged man walked slowly in front of me, squatted down to look at me, and said with a faint smile: "No matter how you delay time, she won't be able to run away." I know, you think I'm going to do something to her, don't you? But you're wrong, this little girl does······ "His eyes were filled with wild hunger and evil impulses for a moment, but for some reason, he forcibly suppressed them, "Will you make a deal with me?"

I looked at him with a blank face.

I can't understand, Liu Lianyue is still young, what kind of beast is this?······

"I'll pass you a book of spell secrets, and send you to study with those noble children, and she, this young lady, I'll send her to study music in Liangfang. ”

I was stunned, and although I knew that he had bad intentions, I couldn't find anything bad for me about this deal.

"Or, I'll rape you two and then kill them. ”

I struggled for a long time, my throat was uncomfortably swollen, and I said hoarsely: "What good is the deal for you······?" Why did you pick both of us?"

He completely ignores the first question: "Because you are the most suitable substitute······ Hmph, girl. ”

For what?

How did he tell I was a girl?

I said, "Then you need to promise to her," I tilted my head weakly in the direction of the willow curtain moon, "nuisance." ”

He was not surprised at me when he suddenly vomited elegantly, and stretched out his hand and said, "I can swear." ”

I did my best and reached out to clapped my hands with him and swore an oath. The bruises on his wrists were shocking.

The middle-aged man put down a porcelain bottle: "This is wound medicine, someone will come to you tomorrow." ”

When the middle-aged man came to the entrance of the alley, a group of guards turned around, led by a tall horse covered in red chestnut, and he jumped up, no longer looked at us, and left.

At the entrance of the alley on the other side, Fang Chengyu quietly turned out from the shadows, gently picked up the dying me, and motioned for Liu Linyue to follow with his eyes.

Liu Linyue had already lost her six gods, she leaned over to pick up the porcelain vase and obediently followed behind him.

It's only been 1/4 of an hour past four o'clock······

He carried me to his room behind the bookstore, locked the store, fed me medicine, and didn't say anything, as long as Liu Lianyue took good care of me.

But I refused to recuperate, and asked in a hissed voice, "Who is Venerable, why did you save me, and who is that person?"

He said lightly: "I am a bookstore owner, and he is Ye Zi'an." ”

Ye Zi'an?

What kind of mage guild is that?
