Chapter 1

Yi Ke curled up in the corner of an abandoned warehouse, his hands and feet tied tightly with ropes. The warehouse was surrounded by walls, with only a locked door and a small half-foot square air window. The small air window was opened close to the ceiling, and you could vaguely see the twinkling stars in the sky through it.

The heat of the day had not yet dissipated, and such an airtight warehouse was stuffy like a furnace.

Yi Kes hair was completely wet with sweat, and was sticking to his forehead and cheeks one by one, and his handsome face was stained with two blushes. He struggled to move twice, but his body was sore and weak.

He gasped heavily, and his amber pupils kept staring at the high-hanging air window.

At this time, he wished he could turn into a bird, break free from these ropes, and fly out of the small window.

During the struggle, the rope rubbed his wrists and squeezed into his flesh, causing a stinging pain. He frowned and groaned, and a little physiological tears oozed from his pupils.

At this moment, a crow suddenly landed on the edge of the platform outside the air window, then tilted its head and stared at Yi Lus tearful eyes. Its eyes were very focused, as if it had seen something very special.

It tilted its head to the left, stared straight at Yi Lus amber eyes for a while, then tilted its head to the right and continued to stare at Yi Lus eyes.

Yi Lu is a mixed-race child with a particularly deep facial contour. He has always been pampered. His slender body is not as strong as a man, but only as young as a boy, which makes him look a little androgynous.

His pupils look amber overall, but the inner iris has a hint of blue. If you look closely at his eyes, you will feel a sense of being swallowed by the lake.

Everyone says that Yi Lus eyes are the most beautiful, as if they have the magic power to bewitch people, and he knows this very well.

Miraculously, the crow standing on the window sill seemed to agree with this statement. It tilted its head left and right, and was fascinated. It was just a little bird that knew nothing, but its eyes were full of obsession.

Yi Lus attention was all attracted by this strange little crow.

He also stared at it intently.

After a while, the little crow actually used its claws to pry open the air vent that had not been bolted shut, and walked in with small square steps. It stood on the inner window sill for a while, and its black bean-like small eyes stared at Yi Lus big eyes.

After a while, it flapped its wings and flew down, landing at Yi Lus feet, and continued to stare at him intently.

It seemed to be fascinated by this beautiful but embarrassed boy, or more precisely, by the boys unique, half-amber and half-dark blue pupils.

Being stared at by a crow with a bright eye that seemed to understand human nature, Yi Lu begged without knowing it: "Little crow, can you help me untie the rope?" He stretched his bound legs, and turned sideways to show his hands that were tied behind his back and bleeding.

People dare to think of anything when they are desperate. He suddenly thought of a crow as a savior.

The little crow tilted its head and looked at him in confusion.

Yi Lu: "..."

"Im so stupid." He leaned against the wall, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

At this moment, the little crow actually moved. It flew to Yi Lu, and its sharp claws aimed at Yi Lus eyeballs and dug them hard.

Fortunately, Yi Lu reacted quickly and immediately lowered his head to hide his face.

A burst of severe pain came, making him scream. The little crow actually scratched his scalp, and blood flowed down his ear tip and neck, quickly staining the white T-shirt red.

If Yi Lu had not been able to dodge the attack just now, his eyeballs would have been taken away by the crow. Its small claws actually contained huge power, which was no less than that of a falcon.

Yi Lu, who had just hoped that the little crow could save him, fell into deeper despair. In this world, not only humans, but also animals are untrustworthy.

The little crow flapped its wings and hovered over Yi Lus head, and once it saw the right opportunity, it would launch a second attack.

At this moment, the door next to him suddenly opened, and a tall and strong man with a mask on his face walked in. Seeing Yi Lus bloody face and the crow, he immediately realized what the scream just now was about.

He quickly picked up a wooden stick placed in the corner and swung it at the little crow.

The little crow knew the principle of "picking the softest persimmon", dodged the stick and flew away through the air vent.

The strong man saved Yi Lu, but at this moment, Yi Lu was even more nervous, because this man was the bandit who kidnapped him.

"You scream like a woman for just a little injury!" The strong man pinched Yi Lus jaw, turned his head left and right, and looked at the wound.

Yi Lu struggled to break free from the restraint of this hand, and the flame of anger burned in his pupils. He looked up, looked at the other party expressionlessly, and said in a very calm tone: "How much money do you want to let me go? You name your price."

Even in such a dangerous environment, he did not let himself show the slightest timidity.

The kidnapper pinched his jaw again, with more force than before, grinning and saying: "No wonder that man wanted to kill you! If I was looked at by you with such a slapping look every day, I couldnt bear it. I would also find a way to get you!"

These threatening words failed to scare Yi Lu, but instead gave him a key clue.

Being looked at by himself with a slapping look every day? So, the person who planned to kidnap me must be an acquaintance, otherwise where would the term "every day" come from? Moreover, after the kidnapping was successful, these people threw away all the items with tracking chips on him. Without the insider tipping off, they could not have such secret information.

Without waiting for Yi Lu to think deeply, the strong man pulled out his belt, unbuttoned his pants, and said in a hoarse voice: "But my way of killing you is different from others. Do you want to try it?"

Seeing his uncontrollable ugly appearance, Yi Lu suddenly realized what he would encounter next.

He quickly moved his body back, but was blocked by a wall. He wanted to stand up and run, or wave his hands to resist, but he couldnt move at all.

Now he was just a piece of meat on the chopping board, and could only be slaughtered.

The man panted and said, "Dont worry, we wont kill you. We will only torture you until you are neither human nor ghost, and then let you go. I have a disease, you know? The kind that starts with H. If a clean young master like you gets the same disease as me, what should I do in the future?

"By the way, do you take drugs? Do you want a shot? We will send you back after we are done. You will still be the heir of the Yi Group in the future, and we will not take your life. Is this good news? "

The man described the devilish behavior in an impassioned tone.

Yi Lu curled up in the corner with a pale face, and his throat was nauseous. He finally realized that the mastermind behind the scenes did not want the Yi familys money, but his dignity, reputation, personality, pride... all the inner things that constitute the most essential things of Yi Lu.

If he loses these things, Yi Lu will no longer be Yi Lu. He will be completely destroyed.

The Yi family cannot tolerate such a filthy family member. After returning, he will be exiled forever as a stain, and then live in endless pain every day. Isnt this murder in another sense?

The mind of the mastermind behind the scenes is so vicious that it is outrageous!

Yi Lu kept shrinking back, but was still trapped in the corner. He had no way to escape this disaster.

When the kidnapper reached out to take off his pants, the little crow that had just flown away actually flew back. It entered the warehouse through the air vent and grabbed the bandits head fiercely.

"Ahhhhhh..."

The shrill scream shook the dust off the ceiling. The little crow circled in the air, and then its claws loosened, and it actually dropped a piece of bloody scalp with hair.

The scalp fell to the ground with a smacking sound, and the bandit had covered his bleeding head and knelt on the ground screaming. He didnt expect that a crow would have such a terrifying killing power.

Yi Kes eyes were wide open, watching the incident in disbelief.

The little crow flew into the air after a successful attack, aiming for an opportunity to launch a series of sneak attacks. The bandit could only hold his head and dodge in a mess. His hands, arms, and back soon showed blood marks, and his clothes were torn.

Fortunately, he had a companion who pushed the door open and came in to check on the situation upon hearing the screams. He was holding a syringe that had just been used. It was obvious that he was taking drugs outside.

His companion picked up a stick and swung it, but Little Crow was able to dodge the attack flexibly every time.

"Go get the gun! "The kidnapper who was hiding in the corner with his head in his arms shouted a warning.

The drug-addicted kidnapper hurried to the warehouse outside to get a gun.

The little crow seemed to understand what they said, and immediately drilled out of the window and flew away. If you cant beat it, wont you run away?

After this incident, the two kidnappers no longer had the heart to torture Yi Lu. They locked the door of the warehouse and hurriedly drove to the city to find a clinic to bandage the wound. With such a large piece of scalp peeled off, he will definitely become a bald man in the future.

Yi Lu listened for a while with his nerves tense, until the sound of the engine went farther and farther away, and then he fell limp in the corner.

The panic in his eyes had completely disappeared, leaving only a flickering dark light.

He began to think about who hated him so much and was eager to destroy him. What benefits could that person get from it?

Thinking of his stepmother who had been pregnant for several months and found out that the fetus in her belly was a boy, his eyes flashed and his expression became cold.

At this moment, the little crow came back. It came in through the small air window and landed lightly in front of Yi Lu, tilting its head left and right, staring at Yi Lus eyes with gorgeous colors.

Yi Lu realized that his thoughts just now were not absurd. This little crow was unusually smart.

He suppressed the urge to hide his head and tried to speak in a gentle tone: "If you dig out my eyes, they will turn gray and rot. You know what things will become after rotting? They are ugly and smelly! "

He felt that he must be mentally disturbed, otherwise how could he reason with a little crow?

However, he could understand the little crows fascination with his pupils.

It seems that all crows are interested in shiny things. Because of this habit, they will take away cigarette butts smoked by humans and store them in bird nests, which will then cause forest fires. They will also sneak into other peoples homes and take away expensive jewelry.

After explaining the reason, Yi Lu stared at the other party nervously.

The little crow raised its little wings and covered its nose. It seemed to associate it with the stench of rotting plants and animals, which showed that it could understand what Yi Lu said.

Yi Lus tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and then he felt a burst of ecstasy.

He turned slightly and said, "How about this, lets make a deal. There is a marble in my left trouser pocket. I will give it to you. Can you help me untie the rope? "

If there were outsiders in the warehouse at this time, they would definitely think that Yi Lu was crazy. How could a crow understand human language?

However, the little crow not only understood, but also complied with Yi Lus request. It puffed out its little chest, took small steps, and walked to Yi Lus side twisting and turning.

Yi Lu raised a corgi with a fat and round butt, and the way it walked was very cute.

And this little crow was cuter than the corgi. It was very good at twisting its butt, and its walking gait looked a little bit cute. If it was put on a short skirt, it might dance on tiptoe.

Yi Lu closed his eyes and felt that he was going crazy. This association was a bit too absurd.

The little crow put its head into his trouser pocket and took out a marble.

Yi Lu felt that the world was crazier than him. A little crow could really be so smart.

It placed the marbles on the ground and used The claws scratched left and right, making the marble spin. And its black eyes followed the marble.

Yi Lu looked at the little crow without blinking, feeling inexplicably nervous. He bought this marble from abroad. The body of the marble is dark blue, and it is wrapped with silver fragments. These fragments form the pattern of the Little Bear constellation, which looks like a small universe.

It is beautiful, and it will be more beautiful when the stars are projected on the wall under the light.

"Put it under the light and shine it, and stars will jump out." Yi Lu tried to remind him.

This sentence is more complicated than the previous ones. He doesnt know if the little crow can understand it. No matter how smart a bird is, there is an upper limit to its IQ, right?

However, something more magical happened. The little crow actually flew to the roof with the marble in its mouth, grabbed the wire with its claws, hung upside down on the light bulb, and then used its wings to hold the entire light bulb.

The light in the warehouse dimmed, and then countless silver stars were projected on the wall. This cramped, stuffy, and dilapidated crime place suddenly became somewhat romantic.

Yi Lu was stunned. He had never expected that this little crow could be so smart. It could understand every word he said, and then execute it in its own way!

When the kidnappers said they wanted to destroy Yi Lu, he was not really scared. But now, he was scared by an overly smart bird.

He looked at the little crow and murmured in disbelief: "You must have become a spirit."

The little crow hung upside down on the wire, staring at the stars quietly, with obsession in his eyes. After about two or three minutes, it finally had enough, fluttered down, placed the marbles on the ground, cackled at Yi Lu twice, then raised its left paw to step on the marbles, held its chest high, and looked like a bully with a heroic and proud look.

Yi Lu was a little flustered. He suddenly realized that the behavior of crows is very worrying in the animal world. They like to play pranks: poop on human heads; suddenly fly down to pull the tails of kittens and puppies; step on the heads of other animals with their claws, or pull out their hair to make nests for themselves...

They often do all these bad things. Therefore, it is not impossible for this little crow to refuse to pay after getting the advantage.

Yi Lu asked in a dry voice: "Do you like this marble? If you like it, can you help me untie the rope?" The last sentence has a trembling tone of pleading.

The little crow tilted its head and stared at his eyes full of helplessness and longing, without any expression.

Although the marble is beautiful, it is far inferior to Yi Lus eyes.

A few drops of cold sweat slowly flowed down Yi Lus forehead, and his lips turned pale. Those kidnappers may come back at any time and vent their anger on him. If he didnt run away now, he would be pushed into the filthy abyss.

He quickly considered his words of persuasion and was even ready to exchange an eyeball for his freedom.

The little crow suddenly walked to Yi Lus feet with small steps, and its sharp claws just lightly cut the rope wrapped around his ankle. Then it walked behind Yi Lu and also cut the rope on his wrist.

It faithfully executed the deal.

It even flew out of the air vent, went around to the warehouse outside, and used its claws to help Yi Lu open the locked door.

Seeing the suddenly opened door and the silver moonlight projected from outside the door, Yi Lu almost cried with joy.

"Thank you, little crow! After returning home, I will definitely buy all the most beautiful marbles in the world and give them to you."

The little crow flew in the air to lead the way, and Yi Lu stumbled behind and made a sincere promise.

"Caw." The little crow called twice, as if in response, or as if saying goodbye, and then it flew higher and higher, completely disappearing in the starry night sky.
