Chapter 60
As the young man's voice fell, a mischievous laugh came from behind the iron door: "I'm Wan'er! If you don't know who I am, then I can't open the door for you. Dad said, except for him Besides, anyone who asks Wan'er to open the door is a villain who came to steal money!"

When the other party said these words, Qi Jingzhi had already walked to the iron gate.

Almost at the same time, a small head popped out of the window split by iron bars on the iron door.

She was really a little girl, only five or six years old, her head was tied with red strings in pigtails, her little face was white and tender, and her cheeks were painted bright red.

Only two deep black holes remained where the eyes were.

Qi Jingzhi's face was covered by the spirit mask, and he couldn't see any expression. He said softly, "Brother is not a bad person, he won't steal money, and he won't let you open the door."

The little girl who called herself Wan'er smiled sweetly, and the two black holes on her face turned to the direction of the boy's voice: "Is that brother here to look for my father? He's gone on a long journey, and he's been gone for a long time!"

Qi Jingzhi stared at the little girl's face illuminated by the fire, and although she knew she couldn't see her, she still nodded her head: "Wan'er, you have been looking after the house by yourself at a young age, aren't you afraid of the dark?"

Hearing this question, the little girl immediately nodded fiercely: "Wan'er used to be the most afraid of the dark, she was too afraid to go to sleep, so every day before the sun went down, Daddy would light a lot of candles at home, and put the biggest and tallest candles in the house. The one I keep next to my bed will burn all night!"

Speaking of this, the little girl's tone was a little troubled: "But one night, Wan'er suddenly felt pain in her eyes, which woke me up from the pain! But Wan'er opened her eyes and saw that it was pitch black everywhere. Can't see anything."

"Seeing that Wan'er was scared, Dad hugged Wan'er and said that the sun, moon and stars in the sky were all eaten by the dog, and all the candles in the house were burned out, so we can only live in the dark from now on!"

Qi Jingzhi's distant and misty voice suddenly became a little hoarse: "What happened later?"

"later?"

The little girl's face showed a complex expression of both doubt and fear, combined with the deep eye holes, it was indescribably ferocious and strange.

"Later, not only did Wan'er's eyes hurt, but her body also hurt. She fell asleep in pain and woke up in pain! I cried and asked my dad why Wan'er was in such pain and whether Wan'er was going to die?"

"Father said, as long as Wan'er promises to stay at home forever and look after Yin Zi, she will never feel pain again!"

As the little girl spoke, the expression on her face also softened: "Wan'er agreed, and the pain really stopped after that! It's just... just a little out of breath, and it will be fine when I wake up after sleeping."

Qi Jingzhi quietly looked at this ignorant little girl, listening to the other party tell a bloody and chilling past event with innocent words.

The boy took two steps closer, and silently approached the window, and saw that the little girl was stepping on a low stool at the moment, and the little clothes and trousers on her body were all red.

Red as blood.

The space behind the little girl is very narrow, most of the space has been crowded by several rows of iron shelves, and the shelves are full of iron boxes of the same style.

Both the iron frame and the iron box are rusty.

Other than that, there was only a small table near the door, with a bronze candlestick in the middle of the table, shaped like a bronze monkey holding the tray high above its head, it looked extremely delicate.

The candles in the tray had burned out, leaving only a light layer of red wax.

Under the bronze candlestick lay a little mouse with hair as white as moonlight.

Qi Jingzhi took a good look at it, and saw that the ears and four paws of this little white mouse were all red, and a pair of small eyes were as red as fire.

The red one is the essence of gold and jade.

Seeing the faceless man outside the window looking at him, Platinum Rat suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleamed with red light, and his mouth let out rapid squeaks, appearing extremely vigilant.

When the little girl heard the call of the platinum mouse, she turned her head quickly, pretending to be fierce, and whispered: "If you are not good, I will really drive you away!"

While scaring the platinum mouse, she raised her little hand.

Immediately afterwards, the little white mouse seemed to be pushed hard by something, and rolled twice in the direction of the door involuntarily, and almost fell off the edge of the small table.

When it came to a halt in embarrassment, it looked visibly sluggish. Not only did it stop its screams, but it even put its head back on the table. The red eyes also moved away from the Faceless Man, and looked at it again. To the iron box on the shelf.

After this change, Qi Jingzhi could clearly feel that the silver stench that was constantly impacting on Lu Yunzi's remnant mountains and mountains around him became much lighter.

He looked away from the platinum mouse, and asked the little girl, "Wan'er, what's your last name? What's your father's name? How long have you been away from home?"

"I do not know."

The little girl shook her head, and answered the three questions clearly in one sentence.

She seemed a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, she added: "Daddy taught Wan'er that every time the sun rises and sets again, it is a day, but the sun was eaten by the dog, and Wan'er's house is dark, so I don't know what happened." for a few days."

"Apart from Sister Bai and you, no one else has come to see Wan'er, not even bad guys who stole money. Eh? It seems that Sister Bai also asked how long Wan'er has been alone at home..."

"Sister Bai?" Qi Jingzhi's heart skipped a beat.

He was about to ask a question when footsteps suddenly came from behind him. It was Jiao Yulang who had been lingering in the corridor for a while finally arrived after the smell of silver faded further.

The little boy was also holding the torch, and when he vaguely saw the little girl, his expression changed.

He tried his best to widen his eyes, convinced that what he saw was correct, and immediately said angrily: "Who is so utterly unconscionable that he turned such a small doll into a silver slave?"

Qi Jingzhi suddenly turned around, but it was too late to stop him.After putting on the spirit mask, his reaction was somewhat slow.

"What is a silver minion?"

Wan'er turned her black eyes to the little boy behind Qi Jingzhi, and her voice suddenly sharpened: "Is the little brother talking about Wan'er?"

Jiao Yulang froze immediately, opened his mouth but didn't know how to speak, and quickly gave Qi Jingzhi a questioning look.

Qi Jingzhi shook his head silently at him, and when he looked at Wan'er behind the bars again, he suddenly found that at some point, the red rouge on the little girl's face had melted.

It was in all directions, like bloodstains!
"After all, he is a five or six-year-old child. He already has a memory and can understand something more or less."

Qi Jingzhi sighed secretly, but there was no abnormality in his tone: "Wan'er, who is the Bai sister you mentioned just now?"

Hearing this, the little girl seemed to be distracted, and when she "looked" at Qi Jing again, there was a little smile on her face again.

"She's a big sister who speaks coldly! She likes Wan'er very much, she talked to me a lot, and even wanted Wan'er to go out with her to play! But Wan'er still wanted to look after Yin Zi for her father, so she didn't agree..."

The little girl's tone was full of yearning, regret and gratitude: "Then Sister Bai said, it's fine if you don't go out, there are many bad guys outside!"

"Wan'er asked Elder Sister Bai, is that big villain Tiangou also outside?"

"Sister Bai said yes, and she also said that Tengu would turn people into monsters called Tengu Minions! These monsters would dig out the livers and lungs of living people, mix their blood and feed them to Tengu!"

Speaking of this, the little girl suddenly "looked" at Jiao Yulang again, and asked sharply, "But what is a silver slave?"
