No matter how far the road is, there will always be that day to go.

As summer goes and autumn comes, Liutian Town is also dyed with a thin layer of autumn.

However, because it is located in the south, compared with the golden color in the north, there is more of a deep and shallow green here.

Some time ago, the streets of Liutian Town were greened, and two acacia trees were planted at the entrance of the ancient road studio, which sprinkled a shadow in front of the window.

If you are safe, just nestle in the sofa covered by the shadow and read quietly.

There are customers who come into the studio, who are familiar with each other, who will come over and say hello to go elsewhere. Those who are not familiar with each other will feel embarrassed to disturb her serious appearance. The sounds of people coming and going in the store are endless, and the styles and patterns of clothes are discussed, but she has become a pure world.

Until two strange guests arrived.

It was a pair of guests who looked like siblings.

Since you use a picture, it means that this girl and a boy are not siblings.

Among them, the girl walking behind her back carried a ragged backpack on her back. Both of them looked dusty. After coming in, they turned right with a clear goal and walked towards the sofa.

An looked up as if he felt something and met the eyes of the little boy among the two.

"Are you looking for me?"

"My name is Xiao Jue."

······

The initially excavated river in the manor has widened two meters due to the sudden increase in rainfall this summer, and the natural bridge will also be expanded.

The small pavilion by the river was built half on the water and half on the shore. A large terrace was built on the part of the water and smooth wooden floors were laid out. It was Xiao Yi’s favorite place to go when he was practicing.

After all, he is just a four-year-old child, and the homework that An Hao assigns to him is the easiest.

But Xiao Yi is the best one among the three.

Due to physical reasons, this child is slow to do whatever he does, and is extremely meticulous.

When An Hao brought Xiao Jue over, Xiao Yi was squatting on the wooden platform near the water, holding a brush in his little hand and slowly writing big characters.

Xiao Jue stepped forward and was about to go up, and held him down.

"Wait until he finishes writing."

Xiao Jue reflexively wanted to pat off the hand pressed on his shoulder, and took it back before he came over.

At the same time, he asked, "Can you tell me how old you are?"

Xiao Jue didn't want to answer, but he thought that he was standing on someone else's territory now, and even if there was still a red fencing standing not far away, he was not sure.

He can't ignore any of the people around Mr. Pei.

He had to reply in a depressing voice: "Eight years old."

"But you give me the feeling of being a little old man."

An Hao said this was not a joke, but that she really felt it.

The child named Xiao Jue around her has a unique sense of vicissitudes of adults, which always makes her feel that there is an illusion that an adult or even an old man is hidden in the body of this child.

"I've been like this since I was a child."

An Hao turned his head and looked at him, "Let's go, I'll take you to see Xiao Yi."

After going to the pavilion, he walked around the small wooden house behind him and waved to Xiao Yi who was washing the brush carefully in front of the water tank, "Xiao Yi is here, someone is here to find you today."

After the three of them sat cross-legged on the wooden platform, Xiao Yi looked up to look at the big brother opposite him. He could see that he was a little nervous, his lips were pursed tightly, and his fingers subconsciously grabbed An Hao's sleeve.

An Hao touched his head, and the little guy relaxed a little.

"Xiao Yi, I am your uncle." Xiao Jue solemnly introduced himself to the child in front of him, and glanced at An Hao for a moment, "I'll ask you now, would I want to go back to the Xiao family with me?"

At this time, Xiao Jue gave An Hao a more strange feeling, so she frowned unconsciously.

However, Xiao Jue was waiting for Xiao Yi's answer to him intently, so he naturally did not notice the change in An Hao's expression.

Xiao Yi was obviously at a loss when he heard this question, so he naturally looked at his master.

An Hao pondered for a moment, "Xiao Jue, I don't deny that Xiao Yi is your Xiao family, but he is now my An Hao apprentice. I was also the one who rescued the person on the line of life and death, so, can I raise an objection?"

She didn't think her little apprentice could live better than she is now after returning to the Xiao family.

It is true that the Xiao family is all the relatives of the little apprentice's bloodline, but An Hao has not forgotten that the little apprentice's body still has half of the bloodline of the Chen family, the old enemy of the Xiao family.

Moreover, she intuitively said that Xiao Jue looked at his little apprentice's eyes, and although he tried his best to make himself appear soft, it was because he was just trying his best and not from the heart that An Hao always felt a little inconsistent.

Thinking of this, An Hao was even more reluctant to let him take Xiao Yi away.

"Madam Pei, I want to know what Xiao Yi means?"

An Hao shook Xiao Yi's hand, met the little apprentice's blank gaze, opened his lips and asked, "Xiao Yi, do you want to go home with your little uncle?"

Xiao Yi looked at this and that, and his little head was spinning for a while, and finally understood what was going on.

"I'll listen to the master."

An Hao curled his lips and smiled at Xiao Jue.

"Xiao Jue, please come back. Also, I don't care why your Xiao family suddenly appeared and wanted to take Xiao Yi away, but since you have passed the Ming Road with me, don't do any other small moves."

Although Xiao Jue sitting in front of him seemed to be just a child, An Hao did not really treat him as an eight-year-old child in terms of his way of speaking or his attitude towards doing things.

These words naturally took the tone of treating peers.

Xiao Jue didn't answer.

He just looked at Xiao Yi quietly for a while, and didn't know what had sounded during this time. Suddenly, he stood up with his knees, bowed slightly to Anhao, turned around and left.

It can be said that it came inexplicably and walked even more inexplicably.

"master?"

A small chin lay on his knees, An Hao retracted his gaze at the two backs, one tall and one short in the distance, took the little apprentice's hand and stood up and walked out of the pavilion, "Okay, it's okay, I'll take you to find Dundu."

After seeing Dundun, the child immediately forgot the person who called himself his uncle just now, and the two little guys immediately played together.

But I haven't forgotten about An Hao.

As soon as Pei Sheng came back, An Hao told him about this.

What I focused on was the strangeness in Xiao Jue that I felt.

Pei Sheng poured a glass of water and handed it to An Hao, patted An Hao's back, "Don't worry, the warlock family has their own way to find their blood relatives, so it's not strange to find this place. As for that Xiao Jue, I'll ask Li Zhi to check it out."

An Hao was talking so hard that he drank the water in the cup in one breath. After thinking about it, he shook his head, "Or why don't you forget it, it's not a big deal. You've been so busy recently, so don't be distracted by this little thing."

Although she didn't know what Pei Sheng was busy with recently, she saw that he had gone out early and returned late every day, and Li Zhi and Lu Xiao had not seen anyone for several days, so she could feel that it was not a trivial matter.

Compared with her little doubt, her little thing was simply insignificant.

Pei Sheng took An Hao's hand and went to the study, "Ah, do you still remember the woman I killed some time ago?"

"That human trafficker?" Time passed not far, and it was the first time Pei Sheng killed someone so decisively in front of her. An Hao naturally remembered it very clearly.

"That woman reminded me of something very bad."

An Hao reached out to smooth out the unconscious frown between Pei Sheng's eyebrows, "What's wrong with that?"

"More than ten years ago, a very mysterious organization suddenly appeared in Huazhou. At first, the organization developed slowly in society in a similar way to missionary methods, and once attracted a group of fanatical believers. They believed in a god named Naro and promoted some very radical remarks. At the beginning, there was no attention from the above. It was not until a large-scale riot caused by these believers that several people were killed, and they directly drove the organization out of Huazhou."

An Hao sounded so hard that he shook his head, "Since he preached, it would be like leaving some fire in Huazhou, which might still make him rekindled."

Thought is the most wonderful thing.

A person cannot be without faith. But equally, faith cannot be biased.

Because a wrong belief that goes off track causes more harm than a thug.

It is a terrible thing to be mentally contaminated.

He may be an ordinary person in the world around him. He is usually inconspicuous and cannot see any abnormalities in normal times. But he is like a time bomb, which can blow your corpse without any precautions.

Pei Sheng nodded, "That's right. The measure of forcibly expelling Huazhou has not been completely eliminated. As far as the information I investigated, there are still people secretly enshrined in the god of Nara. But as long as they do not do anything that harms society, no one can catch them, because the relationship between people is complicated."

Pei Sheng looked slightly cold, "But that woman that day made me find something deeper."

"organize?"

"That's right, in the southernmost part of China, an organization called the Naluo God Cult is lurking. And that woman can only be regarded as the outermost person."

An Hao remembered the woman's ruthless and emotional eyes that night when she stabbed the vital and fierce moves, and then thought about what the other party was doing here, and couldn't help but take a breath, "What are they catching the child?"

Before Pei Sheng could answer, An Hao also had a vague guess.

It is when children begin to understand the world. They are like blank paper. Parents, relatives, teachers, and what the environment they are in are all about to imitate and learn.

What if I had been in an organization like Nara God Cult since I was a child?

They can become the most devout believers of God Nara without being brainwashed.

This plan is not unscathing.

"I have summarized their task during this period, which is that non-staff members like that woman are responsible for finding gangs in society that specialize in trafficking children to cooperate. After reaching a certain number, they will notify their superiors to pull the people away."

"Did you find out that there is more than one place on our side?" An Hao's expression couldn't help but become cold.
