Chapter 4 Relics and Disappearing Money

Picking up the broom, Li Yu came to the edge of a pile of ashes. Thinking of the terrible appearance of Zhang Laosan who had cheated on the zombie, he took a deep breath with lingering fear, patted his chest and prepared to do work.

When he patted his right hand on his chest, he saw a touch of redness on his palm, especially when the place where he patted turned red, he immediately thought to himself.

He was chased by Zhang Laosan, who was corpse-scammered, and his hands were worn out. He was nervous and did not pay attention. However, at this time, he did not care about his injuries, but quickly pulled off his clothes.

The clothes on his chest were soaked in blood, and underneath them were the relics left to him by his father ten years ago. He was afraid that the relics left to him by his father would be stained with blood.

But when Li Yu pulled off his clothes, he was stunned on the spot. The relics left to him by his father disappeared!

He always used a small piece of metal that had been with him for ten years to keep his heart close to his body, but now it was inexplicably gone, only the small piece of cloth hanging empty in his heart.

“Where did you go?”

After discovering that the relics left by his father had disappeared, Li Yu was so anxious that he forgot about sweeping the floor. He fumbled around and looked around, but he didn't touch them all.

Could it be that I accidentally lost it before?

Thinking of this, Li Yu started searching everywhere again, but still couldn't find it.

Unable to find it, Li Yu sat on the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

The relics left by his father have been with him for a full ten years, but they are gone now.

Ten years ago, when Li Yu was six years old, one night, a meteor fell on the hillside behind Li Yu's house. The meteor was a product of the sky and was likely to bring precious sky-distance iron. That kind of thing was very valuable, so Li Yu's father went up the mountain overnight to find it.

Like Li Yu's father, there were other people in the same village who wanted to obtain the iron from outside the sky. However, Li Yu's father was lucky and found the first place where the meteor fell.

However, Li Yu's father was not found in the sky, and only picked up a small piece of metal in the small pit.

This metal piece looks nothing special, one inch long, half an inch wide and one slim thick, black and cold and inconspicuous. Only when it is tilted to a certain angle can you vaguely see a dark pattern on it.

The dark pattern looks like two fingers spreading, presenting a ‘v’-shaped pattern with the upper half of the fork.

That night, Li Yu's father brought back the metal plate and thought that the only thing left was the meteorite outside the sky fell, and it should be worth some money. The next day, he decided to take it to the town to see if it could be sold at a good price.

But the next morning, before Li Yu's father could go out, the robbers came. They were extremely vicious and asked the villagers to hand over the iron from the sky, but the villagers could not hand over it, so they killed people to vent their anger. The robbers slaughtered more than 100 people in half of the village, and then went up the mountain to search for it all day. They really couldn't find the iron from the sky, so they left disappointed.

Li Yu's parents died on that day. The reason why Li Yu survived was because his grandfather hid him in the underworld and escaped the disaster.

The reason why the metal plate fell into Li Yu's hands was because when he was sorting out his father's appearance, he found that his father had put the metal plate in his mouth and did not hand it over even if he died.

After all, it was a product outside the world, and it is very likely that his family would not have to go hungry for a long time.

At that time, Li Yu was still young and didn't understand the mood of letting his family live a good life even when his father died. The metal piece fell into his hands and became the only relics left to him by his father. He kept it well and carried it with a small bag with needles and threads, just as if his grand father had been with him.

Because it was the only memorable relic left by my father, my parents died for the past ten years. No matter how difficult the days are, Li Yu never thought of selling them.

Until now, the metal piece has accompanied him throughout his childhood. He has protected him well and has never stained it...

But now the metal sheet is gone, and he has no only thoughts about his father. Li Yu feels as if the sky has collapsed.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I lost all the only thing you left behind, I'm sorry..."

The more I think about it, the sadder I feel, the more I feel sad. Before I know it, Li Yu shed tears.

After being sad for a while, he thought of his current identity, working is important, and he still has his grandfather to support him, so he can't lose the job.

Li Yu was ready to continue working by lifting his left hand and wiping away his tears with his sleeve.

However, at this moment, his movements froze, looking at his left arm with an incredible look on his face.

On the arms that looked a little bronzed because of their hard work since childhood, a strange pattern appeared there.

The pattern is very simple, it is a ‘v’ with two fingers spreading open, one inch tall, light golden, like a tattoo or a birthmark.

"Isn't this a dark pattern on the small iron piece of the relics left to me by my father? How did it appear on my arm?"

Looking at the patterns that appeared inexplicably on his arm, Li Yu was confused and forgot about his sadness and work.

He remembered very clearly that he had no birthmark, and that small iron piece had been with him for ten years, and he also knew the dark patterns on it, and that strange patterns could not be seen anywhere else.

And now, the small iron piece disappeared, but the pattern appeared on his arm.

"What's going on?"

Li Yu, confused, touched the pattern with his right hand, but it was really like an ordinary birthmark. His arm was deformed due to pressing and it also deformed, completely integrating with his brushwork, nothing special.

"Li Yu? What are you doing?" At this moment, a voice appeared and interrupted Li Yu.

The visitor was wearing green servant clothes like Li Yu, named Wende. He was an 18-year-old boy holding a broom. Like Li Yu, he was a servant of the Wang family and was responsible for sweeping, but he was not responsible for the same area.

Li Yu still kept pressing the pattern on his arm and opened his mouth: "Brother Wen, I..."

"Dode, what's the me? What's the point of touching your arm? It's not the girl's hand. Just now, Mr. Wang asked me to help you clean this place. Why are there so many ashes..." When he said this, the young man asked Li Yu in a low voice: "There was a strange sound here just now. I felt creepy from afar. You are here, do you know what's going on?"

In fact, it was not Mr. Wang who asked Wende to come. He made up a reason to come because he was curious about the movements here before. However, Li Yu did not doubt his statement. After all, who is willing to do more work?

"I... Brother Wen, can't you see it?" Li Yu raised his arm and asked. The golden pattern on his arm was so obvious and special, and the other party was not curious at all?

"Forget it, who cares about your hands? You are not a big girl?" Wende curled his lips and ignored Li Yu.

After looking at Wende, Li Yu looked at the patterns on his arm again. He always felt that this was not simple. He suppressed his doubts and did his work first before studying. Mr. Wang said that after cleaning the place today, he would not have to do anything else, and there was time.

There seemed to be a lot of ashes, but they didn't clean them together. Although Zhang Laosan, who burned the zombie, added tinea oil, there were still some bone residues. Li Yu knew that he didn't say anything. After Wende found this, his body shook slightly but did not mention this.

Wende then realized that he was reckless. When doing things in the Wang family, it would be better not to inquire about what he shouldn't have known. It would be a trivial matter to anger the master's family and lose his job. If he loses his life because of curiosity, it would be called death. Wang Youcai became the richest man in the town, but he was not a good man and a trusted woman.

After cleaning the ashes, Li Yu felt aroused his heart and said to Wende: "Brother Wen, how about you throw these things away? The master said he would throw them into the river three miles away..."

"Drop three miles away? I'll go? Where are you?" Wende stopped at that time and frowned at Li Yu.

Li Yu said: "Brother Wen, please help me. I have something to do, it's really something to do."

"Okay, then I'll ask you for help next time, don't refuse." Wende thought that he had already made a taboo when he came here rashly. It would be better not to have troubles because of this little thing. Moreover, there is not much work, so it doesn't matter if there is more person or less person. He can still get a favor from Li Yu, so he agreed.

"Thank you, Brother Wen" Li Yu immediately expressed his gratitude.

Wende waved his hand and left with the ashes.

After Wende left, after disturbing his work, Li Yu subconsciously forgot the mysterious pattern on his arm, and was thinking about Mr. Wang's reward of 100 cents.

The process of receiving the reward was very smooth. It was obvious that Wang Youcai said hello, and Li Yu successfully got 100 cents.

This was the first time he had gotten so much money. In the past, he lived with his grandfather and even had few opportunities to get in touch with money. When he got the money, he was very excited, as if someone would steal him at any time.

Before Li Yu was excited for two years, he felt the pain in the pattern on the left arm. Seeing that there was no one around, he lifted up his sleeves to look.

After seeing this, Li Yu found that there was another mysterious pattern next to the ‘v’ pattern, which was still golden, much smaller, only the size of a fingernail. The scorching burning sensation was emitted from this newly appeared strange pattern.

The pain in that place was really unbearable, and Li Yu subconsciously pressed it with his hands to try to reduce the pain.

Strangely, when Li Yu pressed it lightly, not only did the pain disappear, but the new ''-shaped pattern disappeared.

This is not over yet. The ‘’’ pattern disappeared, but a ‘1’ pattern appeared on the edge of the ‘v’ pattern.

"What's the situation?" Li Yu scratched his head and said he was puzzled.

However, at this moment, Li Yu's whole body froze, and his right hand trembled and touched his arms, and he felt empty.

The reward he just received was not hot yet, but it disappeared now!
