As soon as the sky was bright, a few crisp birdsongs woke up the little bamboo who lived with his brother and sister-in-law.

Xiao Zhuzi's parents died early, and since he was a child, he and his brother, who was six years apart, built three houses and raised a few chickens and ducks at the foot of this sparsely populated empty mountain. I planted some greens in the open space in the backyard, which I could eat myself or sell them. My brother was a carpenter, and he often made some wooden tables and chairs and pulled them to the town to sell on a cart. The brother and sister did not live a very prosperous life, but they were able to maintain food and clothing, and they could eat something good every three or four days.

Two years ago, my brother met a girl in the town who could embroider flowers, who was Xiaozhuzi's current sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is gentle and kind, and she can embroider mandarin duck flowers and plants to life, she is an orphan and sells embroidered handkerchiefs in the town for a living.

One day, a few hooligans kicked her sister-in-law's stall and demanded protection money from her fiercely. The elder brother couldn't stand it, and he was holding a well-made chair alone, coupled with his momentum of not being afraid of death, he beat the three fierce men and fled. My brother still has a half-finger-long scar on his forehead, which is the "medal" left at that time.

The business didn't work out that day, but my brother brought a good-looking sister-in-law home.

My sister-in-law is very good to both my brother and Xiao Zhuzi, she can cook, sew clothes, and comb Xiao Zhuzi's beautiful hair.

Xiao Zhuzi likes this sister-in-law very much, and she likes it very much.

On this day, Xiaozhuzi got up early, first grabbed some forage for the two horses raised at home, and just let them eat enough, he had the strength to take his brother and sister-in-law, the tables, chairs and handkerchiefs to the town to sell.

After feeding the horses, Xiao Mangosteen cooked porridge and waited for his brother and sister-in-law to get up. They have to work late every day, and Xiao Mangosteen has been very sensible since she was a child, and she takes the initiative to cook and wash clothes.

After the brother and sister-in-law got up, after eating, tied the table, chair and bench to the cart, and put the half-person-high embroidered handkerchief in the bamboo basket on the cart.

The elder brother said: "Xiaozhuzi, we are going to the town, you stay at home well, and when you come back, my brother will bring you delicious food!"

The sister-in-law smiled: "How old is the little bamboo, why do you buy her food." Little bamboo, sister-in-law will buy you a few pieces of fabric, make new clothes, and pick out two beautiful beads for you. Our little bamboo is sixteen years old, how can a little girl not like to be beautiful? You really don't know anything as an older brother!"

My brother smiled: "It's still your sister-in-law who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Xiaozhuzi said: "Brother, buy a piece of fabric for my sister-in-law, and buy two beautiful beads." ”

"Okay!"

Xiao Mangosteen sent his brother and sister-in-law away and returned to the yard to prepare to wash clothes.

Whenever she thought of the good thing that she had encountered on the first day, Aman appeared behind Xiao Zhuzi, knocked her unconscious with one palm, and hid in the cave where she had stayed last night.

The setting sun stained half the sky red, and the brother and sister-in-law, who had returned from selling things, tied up the horses and threw them two handfuls of hay. Business is good today, only one table is left.

The sister-in-law put the cloth and beads on the table, and went to ask Xiaozhuzi to come and see it, and asked her if she liked it.

"Little bamboo, come and see the bead flowers that my sister-in-law bought for you!

My sister-in-law looked around, but I didn't see Xiaozhuzi agreeing.

The elder brother came out and said, "It's not going up the mountain, is it? You cook first, and I'll go to the mountain to find her." ”

"Good. ”

The elder brother kept looking for it in the mountains and it was dark, but he still didn't find the little bamboo. He began to be afraid, Xiaozhu was most afraid of the dark, could it be that she got lost in the mountains?

He couldn't go back, he had to find Xiaozhu quickly.

The sister-in-law, who had been waiting at the door for a meal, still didn't wait for their brother and sister to come back.

It's already dark and I can't see my fingers, and my brother didn't take the lamp, but how can I get down? Where did the little bamboo go?

The sister-in-law calmed down and suddenly thought of the disappearance of women in Yangcheng Mocheng and Gem City.

"Little bamboo won't ...... No, I have to report to the police!"

The sister-in-law took two lanterns and hung them on both sides of the cart, and drove a horse to the town in the dark.

When the Celestial soldiers who were patrolling the government office learned about it, they sent a skyrocketing signal.

In the attic of the backyard of Luoxian Building, a room actually has a window open, just so that you can see the skyrocketing signal.

As soon as Rusheng lay down, he saw a sky-high signal draw a white light in the dark night, which disappeared for a long time.

Rusheng rushed to the town with the officers and soldiers of the Heavenly Clan, and followed his sister-in-law to the foot of the empty mountain.

But they were a step too late, and Aman watched cautiously in the town for an afternoon, the Celestial Clan soldiers were indeed patrolling, and she couldn't find a good opportunity to start, so she had to bring this little bamboo back to the demon world first.

Qianzhou looked at the fainting and smiled, and said, "It's good, but isn't this one too few?"

Aman said: "Demon Queen, the soldiers of the Heavenly Clan are patrolling too strictly, I squatted for an afternoon, and I really didn't have a chance to start. But don't worry, I'll change places and continue to complete the tasks you have told. ”

"Okay, waiting for your good news. ”

Rusheng and the soldiers of the Celestial Clan went up the mountain to search, and in the dark night, the lights of the mountain were shining.

"Who?"

Rusheng heard a man's voice, searched for it with a lantern, and found that it was a man with a wound on his forehead.

"You are?"

"I'm Little Bamboo's older brother......"

Rusheng squatted down and asked, "Are your injuries okay?"

The elder brother shook his head, not frowning at the wound on his forehead, his worried eyes were entirely because he didn't have a small bamboo yet.

"I'm fine, Xiaozhu is gone, I haven't found her yet. It was so dark that I kicked in the air and fell on my forehead. Are you here looking for little bamboo?

It seems that he didn't find it either, Rusheng also shook his head.

"Someone, send him back first. ”

"No! No, I still want to find Xiaozhuzi, I still want to find my sister Xiaozhuzi! I don't want to go down ......."

Rusheng slashed him in the back with a palm, and he fainted. Two soldiers came and carried him down the mountain.

Rusheng found a cave and found that there was some demonic energy left here, and there were some vague footprints on the damp ground, I don't know whose it was.

The soldiers brought by Rusheng searched the whole mountain, but found nothing.

Rusheng asked them to return to their original place to continue their inspection, and he came to Xiaozhuzi's house.

Seeing that his brother was still unconscious in bed, he realized that his palm might be a little heavy, and walked over to wake him up.

The first thing my brother said when he woke up was, "Where's the little bamboo?"

The sister-in-law wiped her tears and shook her head.

The elder brother was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, and two tears were drawn from the corners of his eyes.

The sister-in-law came to the table and touched the fabric she had bought in the afternoon, and two beaded flowers, an emerald green with two bamboo leaves, and a pink peach-shaped hairpin.

"This is the fabric and beads I bought for her today, I haven't made new clothes for Xiaozhuzi, I haven't seen her wear the beads I bought for her......

Rusheng didn't know what to say, so he stood at the door for a long time and said, "These must be kept for Xiaozhuzi." ”

With that, he left the empty mountain.

Rusheng thought to himself that this kind of thing could not happen again, and every time a person disappeared, it would bring great pain to a family. And this matter seems to be getting more and more complicated, it was a demon before, and now there is a demon breath, in short, it can't be allowed to develop like this anymore, it is necessary to talk to Lord Liu Feng.
