Tan Ge said: "Nine times out of ten, it belongs to that child. Take it back and show it to his father later and he will find out!"
Yu Chengyin nodded, and then started searching in Dongshan with great joy. As the night gradually fell, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged as there was still no trace of the child after searching for a long time.
She had consumed too much Wuhunling today and did not dare to stay any longer. After all, it was already getting dark. If she happened to encounter the silver-horned nine-eyed demon, it would be difficult for her to deal with the large amount of Wuhunling.
So Yu Chengyin returned to Blacksmith Wu's house in the darkness. Blacksmith Wu was overjoyed when he saw Yu Chengyin coming in, and hurriedly greeted him: "Miss Yu, you are back! Have you found my son?"
Yu Chengyin shook his head, and Blacksmith Wu was suddenly disappointed.
Yu Chengyin asked: "Did those townspeople come to disturb you?"
Blacksmith Wu sighed and said: "Alas... after you left, they really came to trouble me. Then Mayor Song took the lead and came several times. Fortunately, with the protection of the barrier you left, Miss Yu, they couldn't come in. Stand I cursed outside for a while and then left!"
Yu Chengyin raised her right hand, and the Taotie ring on her middle finger emitted a white light. An iron top was held in her hand. She asked, "Blacksmith Wu, come and see if this belongs to your son?"
When Blacksmith Wu saw the iron top, he immediately became excited, took it over, and shouted, "Ah! This is the iron top for my little top! I made it for him myself. It's unique!" Miss Yu, where did you find it?"
Yu Chengyin said: "Dongshan in Zuixia Town."
"Dongshan? How come it appears in Dongshan? Don't you mean Xishan?" Blacksmith Wu was confused.
Yu Chengyin told him Tian Tian and Tan Ge's speculations, and then said: "I suspect that the children are locked up in a cave somewhere in Dongshan, and the silver-horned nine-eyed devil is the person responsible for guarding them. But because For some reason, he was able to block his own demonic energy, making it impossible for me to sense it. After that, your little top should have escaped from the cave, otherwise his iron top wouldn't have been lost outside."
"I see, but Miss Yu, if my little top escaped, why hasn't it come back yet?"
Yu Chengyin said: "Maybe the child was frightened and hid somewhere. Blacksmith Wu, think about it carefully, where would the little top hide if he escaped?"
Blacksmith Wu thought about it carefully, and then said: "Miss Yu, I remembered that there is a mill near Dongshan. I often take the child to that mill to grind wheat. Do you think the child might be hiding in that mill?" ?”
Yu Chengyin nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the mill and have a look!"
After Yu Chengyin finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Wu Tiejiang looked at Yu Chengyin's resolute figure, and then looked at the dark night, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although this girl Yu looks a little cold, she is an out-and-out good person. She is like this for Little Top Running back and forth was really unbearable for him.
Na Yu Chengyin returned to the foot of Dongshan Mountain again. Following the river, she soon discovered the lonely mill.
She flew to the ground, retracted her soul wings, and walked towards the dilapidated mill.
The fields on both sides were illuminated by the moonlight and seemed quiet, and the chirping of crickets could be heard from time to time on the field ridges.
Yu Chengyin's slender shadow was stretched by the moonlight. She walked alone under the moonlight, fearless of the road ahead.
She took out the luminous stone, pushed the door open and walked into the mill. It was extremely dark inside the mill. The sound of running water came from behind, and the waterwheel made an old creaking sound. She held up the luminous stone and looked around, but there was no one there.
She frowned slightly, looked down at the millstone, and found that there was some leftover wheat flour on the millstone, and there were a few small fingerprints on the wheat flour. She reached out and gently wiped the cold stone mill, with a hint of smile at the corner of her mouth. smile.
Then he took out two white steamed buns from the Taotie ring and placed them on the millstone. Without saying a word, he turned around and closed the door and left.
The river outside the mill was flowing, and the waterwheel was making creaking sounds. Against the backdrop of these sounds, everything seemed extremely quiet.
Yu Chengyin was wrapped in a black cloak and quietly hid in a corner outside the mill. She looked inside through the gap in the wooden partition.
A few rays of moonlight shone in along the dilapidated door panel, hitting the side of Yishi Mo diagonally, and saw a dirty little hand tremblingly stretched out from the darkness, trying to get the two white ones. Steamed bun.
Yu Chengyin flashed, pushed the door open quickly, grabbed the little hand with a slap, and said with a smile: "Little thief, let's see if I don't catch you yet!"
She pulled out and pulled out the little guy hiding in the dark. She saw that it was a very thick-skinned little boy with a tiger-like head and a dirty little face. He struggled very hard.
"Let me go - let me go - I'm not a thief!"
"You are Blacksmith Wu's little top, right?"
When the child heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at her in horror.
Yu Chengyin opened his right hand, and an iron top appeared out of thin air. The child said in surprise: "That's my iron top, why is it on your body?"
The little boy stretched out his hand to grab the iron top. Yu Chengyin said with a smile: "I am the person your father came to find you. You don't need to be afraid!"
"Why did you come just now! Wow -" Little Top hugged his iron top, looked at Yu Chengyin aggrievedly, flattened his mouth, and started crying.
Yu Chengyin thought to himself, why does this child look like his father? He is obviously a strong man, but he always loves to cry.
She crossed her arms and said with a smile: "Why don't you go home? What are you doing hiding here?"
The little top nervously closed the door of the mill and whispered: "Those crows are watching us. I am afraid of being discovered by the crows, so I have been hiding in the mill and dare not go back!"
"Crow?" Yu Chengyin thought to himself, it turned out that what he found before was a crow's feathers!
The little top nodded and said: "Yes, those crows are guardians, specializing in pecking children's eyes. We must be obedient, otherwise we will be killed by the crows!"
"How could a crow kill a child?"
"No, sister, those crows will turn into very tall crow-men, with a pair of big wings and a pointed iron beak. It's so scary!"
Yu Chengyin frowned and asked, "Are there many Crow People?"
"Well, there are a lot of crow people, as many as forty or fifty!"
"Then how did you escape?"
"I was imprisoned in a cave by them. Suddenly one day, they wanted to move us away. I pretended to go to shit and took the opportunity to escape!"
Yu Chengyin chuckled, reached out and rubbed his messy hair and said, "I didn't see it, but you are quite smart!"
Little Gyro's stomach suddenly made a growling sound. He glanced at the white steamed buns placed on the millstone sheepishly, raised his head and asked Yu Chengyin: "Sister, can I eat those two steamed buns? I've been hungry for several days. Oh my god!"
"Eat quickly!" Yu Chengyin nodded.
The little top was very happy. He picked up the white steamed bun and ate it with relish.
Yu Chengyin took out the bamboo tube filled with water and handed it to him. He nodded and took it.
"Eat slowly - be careful of choking!" Yu Chengyin reminded kindly.
The little top hummed twice, ate the steamed buns, and drank water with a satisfied look on his face.
Yu Chengyin said: "Little Top, what have you been eating these days?"
The little top pointed at the millstone and said, "During the day, some people would bring wheat to grind it, and I would eat the leftover wheat flour to satisfy my hunger."
"Are you full?"
"Of course I don't have enough to eat, but there are voles in the field. I will sneak out at night to catch voles to eat! There is a sweet potato field not far away, and I will dig some back! There are also fish in the river, and sometimes I am lucky. I caught a few, but I still can’t get enough!”
Yu Chengyin said with a smile: "Your boy's ability to survive is quite strong. Fortunately, you are the son of a blacksmith. If he were another child, he would definitely starve to death! After you have eaten, tell your sister what happened to you!"
"Um……"
The little top swallowed the last bite of the steamed bun with force, and then said: "???????????????The thing is like this, that day I caught crickets in the field near my home, and I wanted to take them with the little top. My friends were playing crickets when it suddenly darkened behind me, and I saw a guy with a pair of big wings hugging me. He covered my mouth with one hand and held my waist tightly with the other. I struggled hard but couldn't pull him away. He kicked it away."
Yu Chengyin asked: "Is that guy with wings a crow?"
"No, he is different from those crow people. He has eyes on his wings!"
"It's the Silver-Horned Nine-Eyed Demon King!"
"Yes, yes, he does have a pair of silver horns on his head! Sister, how did you know?"
Yu Chengyin said: "People in the town went up the mountain to look for you before and met the silver-horned nine-eyed demon king. I fought with him."
"That's it!" Little Top nodded.
Yu Chengyin said: "Then you were captured and taken into the cave by the silver-horned nine-eyed demon?"
"Well, yes. We were locked up in a cave, and children were captured one after another! Those crow people were guarding us, but no matter how we cried, no one came to save us!"
Yu Chengyin said: "They must have set up a protective barrier to isolate the outside, so your voices cannot be heard outside."
Little Top didn't understand what a barrier was, but he thought that since this elder sister could fight against the Silver-Horned Nine-Eyed Demon King, she must be an expert. He believed what she said.
Little Top said: "A few days later, the silver-horned nine-eyed demon king said he would move us and then force us to eat black pupae..."
Yu Chengyin said: "Pupa?"
Little Top nodded and said, "Yes, I escaped during that transfer and then vomited out the pupa!"
Yu Chengyin looked at the little top in front of him. He was obviously different from other children. He was conscious and had not lost his memory. It was probably related to the pupa.
The reason why the child who was released was stupid, as if possessed by some evil spirit, must be because of those pupae, and the little top spit out the pupae, so it was okay.
She suddenly thought of what her senior sister Xi Suyuan had seen in the Jiutian Empress Temple, and she immediately understood everything. She thought to herself that what the crow man forced the child to eat that day should be the pupa of the colorful butterfly demon. No wonder the old Taoist kept such a What a colorful butterfly! The purpose is to get their chrysalis!
