Yi Li just felt a chill on his back.
If Jin Qing hadn't reacted quickly, they would have suffered the same fate as Butler Tang and his men.
Yi Li gave Jin Qing a thumbs up and made a gesture to him: "You are really amazing."
Since you can't do anything to help him, just provide some positive emotional value.
"Flatterer." He glanced at her indifferently and mouthed silently.
Yili understood his lip movements: "..."
He doesn't need it at all, okay.
This time she was being too sentimental.
Next time she praises him, she will be his father.
(_)
Yi Li was very curious about how Jin Qing was able to predict the future so that she could learn from him.
Yili began to look around the interior and discovered that this was a children's room, decorated warmly and with baby products neatly displayed in the cabinets. There were also photos of babies on the wall with labels on them.
'Carp for one month', 'Carp for two months', 'Carp for three months'...
Each month's label is filled with photos, including photos of babies sleeping, photos of babies eating, photos of babies playing with toys, etc. These photos that record life show that the photographer's photography perspective has changed from being immature at the beginning to being proficient and even having a bit of a master's style later.
"These should be the photos taken by the mine owner for his daughter."
Yili felt love from the photo above, the love of a father for his daughter.
She remembered what Liu Xiaodie had said to her before.
This girl is not the mine owner's biological daughter, but was adopted by him as a sacrifice.
Yi Li began to look for the clues he wanted.
In a secret compartment, a diary was found.
There was a thick layer of dust on the black cover. The notebook was not exquisite or high-end, but rather shabby and of poor quality. It was made a few years ago and should have been a notebook he had before he became rich.
Just as she was about to reach out to take it, she was picked up by Jin Qing: "Little boy, don't run around, or you might lose your life."
Upon hearing this, Yi Li cast an angry look at Jin Qing.
Do you really think of her as a little kid?
She is not a carrot, why do you have to carry her around!
As Jin Qing spoke, he lifted Yi Li up and then put on a pair of black leather gloves before picking up the black notebook. The next second, the gloves that had just touched the black notebook made a sizzling sound, and black smoke with a fishy smell rose. Yi Li silently touched the hand that he was about to pick up.
I was too careless and let my guard down because I thought Jin Qing was around.
"Your thinking has been affected by your body. I hope you will listen to me carefully before you recover to normal, little Yili." Jin Qing patted Yili's head like patting a watermelon, making Yili feel like Jin Qing was tapping him to see if his brain had matured.
Yi Li sneered: "How is it possible? How could I become a fool because of my small stature?"
Although she said this, when she thought about it carefully, some of her actions and childish thoughts were indeed not something she would do before.
For example, the mistake just now that shouldn't have been made.
Jin Qing looked at Yi Li as if to say, isn't it?
Yi Li: "..."
Okay, okay, you are right this time.
Only after the black smoke disappeared did Jin Qing begin to look through the diary.
Yi Li stood on tiptoe and tugged at Jin Qing's hand: "I want to see it too, let me see it!"
Jin Qing had no choice but to bend down and look at it with Yi Li: "Speak nicely, don't be so rude."
Yili: “…Oh.”
"**year**month**day
I found a little girl on this barren mountain today. Is this a chance for God to redeem me? I named her Yili, hoping she can bring me luck like a koi fish.
**year**month**day
I went to look for goat's milk for her, not knowing if I could find it. I felt a little annoyed because I couldn't even feed myself, and I had to feed a child. But when I saw her grabbing my hand like a kitten, I felt magic for the first time.
**year**month**day
I searched with her for a whole day, but all I found was a dilapidated castle. We had been hungry for two days, and her cries were getting weaker and weaker. I could only hold her and watch her slowly become weaker and weaker in my arms. For the first time, I felt the fragility of life.
**year**month**day
I took her to search the deserted castle, looking for something to fill her stomach. We encountered a demon who said that if I sacrificed the child in her arms to it, it would grant me everything I wanted. I hesitated, and it bewitched me, telling me that she was dying and that instead of starving to death here, it would be better to let her live a good life for a few years before losing her life. I was tempted. I didn't want her to die. I definitely didn't want to be like those rich people.
**year**month**day
I have everything I want, gold, castles, servants and an inexhaustible gold mine. I only need to take good care of her. She can really bring me good luck. I like her very much. Even if she will be sacrificed by me in a few years, at least she is still alive now.
*Year**Month**Day
I opened the notebook again and started writing, feeling a little dazed. Just over ten days ago, I was a murderer on the run, but now I am the owner of a gold mine that is rich enough to rival a country. Every day I eat delicacies that I never dared to imagine, and wear haute couture clothes that I have never worn before. So this is what it feels like to be rich.
**year**month**day
My mother knew I was rich, so she brought her younger brother to me. She told me to give the mine owner to her younger brother, saying I couldn't handle such a large sum. She also told me I was still young, and told me to send Yili away. She told me to get married quickly and give her a grandson. My daughter was a money-loser, not even my own. I smiled and treated them warmly to a sumptuous dinner. Tonight, I killed my kindness with my own hands.
The demon found me again, praising my decisiveness. I smiled, but I didn't feel happy. Having escaped Voldemort's mother, I felt lost. Even though I'd accidentally killed a pregnant woman to protect her, ruining my life, and even fled to this desolate mountain to save my life, I still couldn't hate her. I didn't know what love was. I only knew that my mother never paid attention to me, but only poured her blood and flesh into her own brother. Even though that brother was a scumbag even more disgusting than me.
**year**month**day
It's been three months since the last incident, and I haven't written in my diary in ages. Thinking about it, it feels a bit long, perhaps because I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately. I've noticed I'm starting to dislike vegetables and have actually developed a fondness for raw meat. I'm a little scared. I look at Yili, who has learned to roll over, and I envy her carefree life, but I also feel a pang of regret for her future death at the hands of a demon. I'm starting to wonder if my choice was truly the right one. She's my only family now.
