Reserved food, he has cubs

Winter in Beijing is dry and cold.A short boy knocked on the door of another family. He was wearing a thin off-white coarse cloth jacket, his body was frail and frail, and he only had a pair of big and bright eyes.

The hand he stretched out was also thin and small, with bones almost like a girl's, but the knuckles were a bit thick, and the fingers and palms were also full of calluses.He knocked "duk tuk" three times, paused for a moment, and knocked three more times.

A middle-aged man came out, wearing a fur-collared cape, and opened the door impatiently.Mingyi showed him the red beans hanging around his neck, and said in a clear voice, "Hello, have you met my little uncle?"

"Are you sick?" The middle-aged man looked puzzled, "Let's go! Don't be annoying!"

He closed the door again with a bang, and the door almost slapped Mingyi on the face.

Ming Yi touched his nose, and hugged his small package resentfully: Huh!

Such a vicious person doesn't look like a good person at first glance.Not a good guy, definitely not the little uncle he was looking for.

He turned away.Pedestrians crowded the street, Ming Yi was thin and shoved, almost fell down.He is small, with only various clothes in his sight, and he is trapped in the vast crowd.

Ming Yi looked around and sighed.

There are so many people in Beijing.

With so many people, how could they find his little uncle?

Ming Yi felt a little melancholy, touched the small flat package, and his flat stomach.

This is already his third day in the capital.The dry food his mother gave him has already been eaten, but his little uncle has no intention of showing up at all.If you keep looking for a needle in a haystack like this, before the little uncle can be found, the others will be gone.

His mother's gentle and anxious exhortation sounded in his ear again: "Remember, don't throw away this red bean. As long as he sees this, he will definitely recognize you. You have to find him and ask him to help you." Help you. He'll help you, my boy, you go."

Mingyi pulled himself together, and began to think in his heart, which area he hadn't looked for yet, and prepared to continue his great cause of knocking on doors.

Knock, knock him, knock out the little uncle!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes and shouts came from afar.

The crowd suddenly became agitated, and everyone wanted to run away in a panic. Mingyi was pulled and pulled by someone for no reason, and fell to the ground, and the things around his neck were also ripped off.

Ming Yi fell to the ground and saw that the red beans that had been hanging around his neck had been torn off, so he quickly reached out to pick them up.Unexpectedly, just as Ming Yi held it in his hand, the sound of horseshoes suddenly approached.

As soon as Ming Yi raised his head, the carriage pulled by the tall horse was a few steps away. The horse's hooves were galloping, without any intention of stopping, as if it was about to come galloping in the next moment, trampling him into a puddle mercilessly. mud.

He had been squeezed out of the crowd unknowingly, and even the people around him hid farther and farther away. He fell and sat on the road alone, and would soon be mercilessly crushed by the carriage.

This situation made Mingyi tremble with fright, and he hurriedly backed away, but it was too late to see, and the horseshoes leaping high were already close in front of him in an instant——

No way, he hasn't found his little uncle yet.He hasn't eaten meat yet.he still……

He closed his eyes in a panic, ready to face the severe pain that followed.

In a blink of an eye, a powerful arm suddenly grabbed his waist behind him, lifted him up into the air, and swung him on the ground.

He is not dead.

The horse's hooves fell heavily, and the carriage ran away without any danger.

Mingyi's feet were numb from being stung, and he turned his head grinning, and saw a person dressed as a scholar standing behind him.This man is tall and tall, with light fur, eyes like cold stars, cold white skin, hair loosely tied up with a thin bamboo, looks quite elegant.He only wore a round-neck black robe in the winter, and his clothes were thin. He even held a black bone fan lightly in his hand. The other hand obviously just saved Mingyi and was slowly withdrawing it. That hand was extremely thin. , can see light blue blood vessels, and wears a wooden ring with red beans on his index finger.

Mingyi stared blankly at his delicate eyebrows and eyes, thinking: This person is really good-looking...

Mingyi had never seen such a good-looking person in his life.He also thought, Mother said, the little uncle is good-looking, and he must be able to recognize him at a glance.The little uncle is smart, so he can take root in the capital.The little uncle has a good heart and will definitely take him in.

And, red beans, this person has red beans too, so...

After the man saved Mingyi, he let go of his hand quickly, as if he didn't want to have more contact with others.He lowered his eyelids, and looked at Mingyi expressionlessly for a while, there seemed to be a vague dislike in his eyes.His eyes fell on Mingyi's neck, then moved to the side, and said coldly: "I saved you, follow me."

At the same time, Mingyi looked at him with bright eyes, and said pleasantly, "Little uncle!"

That person:?

-

He Chen didn't know before that a person could be so heartless.

He is a demon, a demon who can suck the fear of human beings.He has lived for over 100 years and has never eaten before, but recently, he is approaching adulthood.

He began to occasionally feel hungry and restless.The old monster told He Chen that before he became an adult, he had to find a person and eat his body and soul when this person reached the most fearful state, otherwise he would go crazy when he became an adult.

So He Chen went to the street to look for food reserves, happened to save a young man, and brought him back.

But this food reserve seems really not very smart.

He looked at the child at the side, and followed him happily, without any suspicion, and couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

"Engong, you say you are not my little uncle, then who are you?"

"He Chen." The man spit out two words, and with the white mist, he looked cold, and his name was also cold.

"He Chen, He Chen..." Ming Yi seemed to be very curious, and repeated in his mouth over and over again.He speaks with a slight accent, with a sense of ambiguity and cohesion, and a special kind of intimacy.He Chen heard it, and for some reason, suddenly felt a little weird.

He couldn't help but glanced at the young man beside him.The child was thin and small, his hair and eyes were also light amber, and his whole body was light in color, except for a red bean around his neck, which was so red that it was the only bright color on his body.

His eyes couldn't help but stay on it for a moment.

After Ming Yi finished reading, he said with a smile, "This name is really nice! My name is Ming Yi. He Chen, why did you save me?"

He Chen paused, then turned his head to stare at Mingyi, his eyes were bottomless, with an inexplicably extremely dangerous feeling, like a poisonous snake that chooses someone to bite: "What do you think?"

After he finished asking, he still stared at Mingyi.As if expecting something, he unconsciously licked his lips, and there was a dark light in his eyes.

He has been hungry for too long, now, is he finally going to experience the taste of eating...

Ming Yi said happily: "Of course it's because you're a good person! My mother said that my little uncle is good-looking and has a good heart. He will definitely help people when they are in danger..."

He Chen:?

He Chen: ...

Ming Yi looked a little embarrassed, turned his head and looked at He Chen again, then quickly turned around: "You are so good-looking, you must have a very good heart!"

He Chen: ...

Mingyi found that the face of Engong beside him seemed to be a little ugly, and he didn't understand what was wrong with him, so he tried to talk to him: "He Chen, where are you taking me?"

He Chen couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Don't call yourself me, call me."

Ming Yi: "Why?"

"...I told you to say it."

Ming Yi pursed his lips: "Oh."

The two walked farther and farther away, and before they knew it, they had already moved away from the noisy downtown area, and the surroundings became more and more secluded.Gradually, Mingyi found that there was no one around.

Not long after walking, a small bamboo forest suddenly appeared in front of him.This bamboo forest is quiet and elegant, with rustling sounds when the wind blows, there is a special kind of lushness and tranquility, people can't help but calm down when walking here, as if this place has been far away from the crowds, and has entered another mysterious space.

He Chen led Ming Yi, walked slowly along the path among the bamboo forests, and suddenly answered his question: "I want to bring you here. Do you think there is something wrong here, like... the residence of the legendary monster? "

Ming Yi was looking around, and saw a big mansion with white walls and black tiles with carved beams and painted buildings appeared in front of him.He shook his head and said, "How is that possible! Monsters live in deep mountains and old forests, how could they live in such a beautiful place, and still live in the capital."

He Chen looked down at him, stopped in his tracks, and said indifferently, "Some monsters just like to live here."

Ming Yi glanced at him, then at the house, blinked, and suddenly realized: "You live here, don't you?"

He Chen smiled slowly: "Yes." Finally, he was smart for a while.

He looked at Mingyi, expecting him to show fear.He has already arrived at his residence, as long as the child is afraid, he can...

Mingyi smiled and waved his hands and said, "That's right! You're not a monster, how could this be the residence of monsters?"

He Chen: ...

He Chen closed his eyes: "...how do you know I'm not?"

Ming Yi took it for granted: "The monsters are all blue-faced and fangs, very scary! You are so good-looking, you must be a good person, impossible!"

He Chen broke a piece of bamboo with a "click".After a while he said: "... let's go."

For some reason, Ming Yi always felt that his benefactor seemed to be even more unhappy.

Walking to the door, He Chen lowered his eyes, stretched out the hand wearing the red bean ring, bent his knuckles, and lightly knocked on the door.

He knocked lightly and casually, not as if he wanted to disturb someone to open the door for them, but as if he wanted to complete a set of necessary procedures.

As soon as he knocked on the door, Ming Yi began to size up the house.This house looked like Mingyi had never seen before, it was so big that he couldn't see the end of the wall at a glance.Mingyi was dumbfounded by the layer upon layer of intricate carvings on the Guangmen Building.

The gatehouse is the purest blue-gray color, and the flying corners are very beautiful. The door is made of ebony, with a clean varnish, and two paintings are pasted on the door, one on the left and one on the right.

This painting is completely different from the New Year pictures posted on ordinary people's doors. The background is not red, but plain white. The whiteness is a bit scary.The painting is not a door god, but looks like some kind of strange beast...

Mingyi looked at the painting, and unconsciously got closer and closer as he watched it, as if he had been bewitched, but he couldn't see it clearly, so he looked harder and harder, as if he heard some kind of beast Howling, the end of the nose seems to smell the stench.

When He Chen knocked on the door, he lowered his hands, his wide sleeves dropped, and covered his slender and cold hands inside.He looked down at Mingyi quietly, didn't say anything, and didn't intend to interrupt him in the slightest.

The paintings on this door are naturally different from other places. Ordinary people will feel flustered and frightened after staring at it for a long time, and enter a state of mental instability in a trance.

Sure enough, the pale-eyed boy looked carefully for a while, and his lips gradually trembled.

He Chen stared at him, waiting for him to speak.

Only Ming Yi said in shock: "This, this painting must be very expensive, right? Just put it on the door like this, so you're not afraid of being taken away?"

He Chen:?
