Chapter 1 The Forest

It's a sunny day, and in front of me is a big hugging tree. The word "you" is skewed on the tree pole, er, it is indeed a mark I made. But I have walked in this forest for most of the day, why am I still there?

I raised my eyes and looked around, with lush trees. The cicadas in my ears are inexhaustible, which adds to the boredom. Isn't it strange after all? But the "Five elements array" in the study is about to be ruined by me. Will I go back? Never, it's easy to find out that Dad will return tomorrow. How can we miss such a good opportunity?

At this time, a few shouts came from afar, and the two words were high and low. I panicked when I heard the sound, and my body quickly pressed against the big tree in front of me with the momentum of melting into one and closed my eyes tightly. The sound got closer and closer, and the cluttered footsteps accompanied by my heartbeat made my head dizzy and legs and feet shrill.

The footsteps still slowed down, but paced a few steps in front of the tree. The surroundings became quieter. I opened one eye and turned my head slightly. Huh, where are the people? The front is empty, and there are only a few mottled tree shadows from sunlight. Suddenly, the collar tightened, and after everything in front of him turned upside down, he was facing a pair of ink-like eyes, and the anger in those eyes was obvious. I blinked, lowered my head to avoid the man, stared straight at his beard, and sounded like a mosquito: "Dad."

My father didn't say anything and walked out quickly with me. Suddenly, there was some faint sound, as if it was the direction we had just passed. I couldn't help looking back to find out and stopped Dad repeatedly. But he didn't listen to it. He just got up quickly and almost trotted all the way to take me away.

After making sure that no abnormal noise could be heard, Dad stopped at the door of the forbidden place.

At that time, my little body shook, and my father raised me in front of him, eye to nose, which could not be avoided. "Hum" low and angry voice resounded through my ear, "What's the explanation?"

My father always speaks gently. He has never been so harsh. I was stunned for a moment, and then had an idea and smiled at him. His little arm stretched forward hard, hugged Dad's neck fiercely, hid his little head in his neck and rubbed hard, and said in a glutinous voice, "Dad, Dad, you know it's wrong."

"It's too late to pretend to be obedient now?" He straightened my little face.

I bypassed his hand in my ear, my mouth shrugged, and my head fell on his shoulder and choked. Dad pulled my braids and said harshly, "I'm still wronged. I didn't know that my daughter is so capable. At a young age, she would support her servants, skip school without authorization, and break into the forbidden place regardless of family training?"

I leaned in my father's arms, grabbed his sleeve with my little hand, and finally hesitated: "Youyou occasionally listened to people's gossip. They said that this dense forest has been desolate for years and has been mysterious and sneaky, which is caused by the aunt's ghost stay, so I want to have a look."

Hearing this, my father suddenly stiffened, tightened me with his hands, and sighed almost inaudiblely: "Do you miss your mother? Isn't there still a father? Isn't it enough for me to love you?"

I nodded gently and shook my head again and again. Dad patted me on the back of the head and sighed with a smile, "Silly child."

"If you miss her in the future, you can look in the mirror. My little Youyou is the same as your mother. She is a beautiful woman who muttered, but she suddenly hardened. "Your mother is not as bold as you. She promised to be a father and will never come here in the future, huh?"

"No." I answered, although I still couldn't stop looking back.

As soon as he left the forbidden place, a group of people came up and bowed and saluted: "The slave (servant) to the marquis, please say goodwilling."

"Get up, Xiuxiu, come here and invite Lord Weng back." As soon as my father finished speaking, a woman in yellow quickly came forward to pick me up. I grabbed my father and refused to cooperate in his arms.

Dad tightened my shoulder and whispered, "Good boy, I have something to deal with now. Can I come with you later?" My little mouth pouted and was silent.

"When I come back, I'll bring you good things and make you like it." He blinked at me mysteriously.

I unconsciously learned from him to blink. Then, he laughed, and my body suddenly lightened. Dad threw me up. I flew up like a kite, and then fell down and was firmly picked up by him and up again. This is a game that my father often plays with me. At this time, I crossed his shoulder and looked as far as I could see. All the people, including Xiuxiu, were attracted to our play. He looked back to his father, but he was clearly close to him, which made people unable to see clearly. The sun set behind him, and his facial features were all blurred into a ball, like a shadow hidden under the fog.

His eyes are still like ink and his smile is still gentle, but his father doesn't look like his father. The beard chatted without a trace, the bridge of the nose was straighter, the lips became colder and thinner, and the whole outline was beautiful. No, no, he is by no means his father. He bent the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled at me, but it was charming and seductive. It's him! How could it be him? And I was still leaning in his arms. I hurriedly pushed it away and hurriedly raised my hand to see. My wrists were white and round. This was not the hand of a child.

I screamed: "Dad, Dad, Xiuxiu, save me! Come on, help me!" Unfortunately, no one paid attention to it. I looked around. There were no people left, only endless green. It turned out that I was still in the forbidden place, which I only came once when I was eight years old. Where's Dad? Didn't he find me? And the person standing in front of me now is actually him. The stars were shining in the black pupils of his father Xiaoxiang, and he smiled and spread his hands: "Don't come?" The ending rises, like a lover's muttering. I was completely stunned by the sight. Although I was struggling, my body habitually moved towards him.

He pulled me close to me, leaving no gap, like the closest lover in the world, and his breath sprayed in my ear: "Why are you so scared? My Ayou, do you have the heart to do this to me?" After saying that, he suddenly laughed wildly: "But I've always been reluctant to part with you. Look, look at them..."

Following his eyes, a familiar person came from the jungle, with a familiar appearance and even a warm smile as before. I was happy to come forward. Their faces became clearer and clearer, but they were all pale and bloody. ...Haha...we are all the same, and we can't bear to part with you..."

His crazy laughter is still echoing in my ears, but people are gradually dissipating. I want to scream but I can't make a sound at all. I can't move if I want to hold him. Everyone is slowly blurred with him. I can only watch their figures fade away and finally dissipate. I can't see anything clearly. In front of me The world is shattered.
