you got on my tail

Before Bai Xuehe could react, the little snake straightened up and rushed towards him. Bai Xuehe was not from a high-ranking official, so of course he knew how snakes hurt people, so he raised his hand to cover his neck, but the little snake didn't He opened his mouth to bite him, but crawled towards his arm, and quickly got into his sleeve.

Bai Xuehe thought of the snake he had put in the cage before, and thought that this snake had been trained by someone, and he could only hope that the bite would not hurt too much.

However, the little snake didn't bite him, but quietly huddled in his sleeves. Bai Xuehe even felt something shaking. He carefully narrowed his eyes and shook his sleeves, ready to catch the snake's tail. The fat snake huddled into a ball, and was still trembling, as if terrified.

"Why are you afraid of running by yourself?" Bai Xuehe couldn't laugh or cry, when he suddenly heard footsteps from far to near in the distance, he retreated into the yard with a snake in his mouth, just when he saw a black dog rushing towards it barking, Bai Futao Good carriage, immediately threw down the whip and rushed forward, pushing the white snow crane into the yard.

"Okay, it's okay." Bai Xuehe opened his sleeves, looked at the round head poking out of it, and suddenly felt like something poked his heart.

Although Bai Xuehe is liked by the emperor, he is a cruel official after all. Throughout the ages, most of these people will not end well. People in the officialdom are old foxes, and they know this well, so his mansion has always been neglected.

Finally, a living creature approached, but it was still a cold snake. He pointed his finger at the head, and Heitan stayed there for a long time before slowly sticking out his tongue, as if he was relieved.

After Bai Xuehe left just now, he quickly opened the buckle with the tip of his tail, ate the bacon in the kitchen, and then slipped out through the back door. Unexpectedly, just after going out for a while, he saw a big black dog barking and running Come.

Dogs generally don’t attack snakes, they just poke their noses back and forth. Heidan is not afraid, and boldly raises his body to scare the big dog, but he is not a cobra, and his round head is not aggressive. The dog didn't stop for a moment, and rushed over without blinking.

Heidan was scared now, and started to walk quickly among the rustling leaves, the enraged big dog kept following behind him, Heidan didn't dare to stop for a moment and rushed forward, there was no one around here, only the bad guy came over .

Heidan didn't have time to think about it, so he could only rush towards him, trying his best to get into his sleeve.

"Let you run around." The dog didn't move, Bai Xuehe held Heidan in his sleeves, turned his head to look at the strange Bai Fu and said, "What are you looking at? Come in quickly."

"Master, this dog's fur is nice, it doesn't look like an ordinary dog, and our Yishanfang is next to the imperial city, so ordinary people's dogs will never come here." Bai Fu lowered his head and stroked the dog, " Dogs usually don’t bother with snakes, they must be starving, let’s feed them and send them over, maybe they will remember your favor.”

"People won't remember my favor, but they will think their dog is dirty." Bai Xuehe smiled, and suddenly felt that he was a little mean, so he said: "Okay, you go and ask."

Bai Fu felt that he had thought of a good idea, so he ran away happily. The dog squatted quietly on the ground and licked its paws. Bai Xuehe leaned over, and Heitan slowly poked his head out, and said softly, "I'm not afraid either."

"What did you say?" Bai Xuehe turned his head, and heard the ordinary "hissing" sound again. He felt that he might be hallucinating, so he got up slowly, and fumbled for the golden tobacco rod from his waist, Flint Rubbing against the wall for a while, a straight stream of snow-white smoke slowly emerged from the pipe, Bai Xuehe sighed, suddenly smiled and grabbed Heidan, narrowing his eyes slightly to look at him.

That face was impeccable, but there was some inexplicable disgust in the eyes. Taking advantage of his distraction, Heitan slowly slid down his arm, and then touched the ground smoothly, but Bai Xuehe didn't follow.

"Goodbye, I'm going back." Heitan swam forward without looking back, but Bai Xuehe didn't move. Just when he reached the corner, the big dog suddenly turned red and looked straight at Bai Xuehe. Jump over.

"There's something wrong with this dog!" Bai Xuehe woke up instantly, and ran towards the barn in the backyard. Heidan didn't have time to think about it, and quickly turned around and pounced on the big dog's neck. On Bai Xuehe's calf, the wound seemed to be extremely deep, with blood oozing from the thick cloth. The big dog ran a few steps, staggered and hit the wall, and then slowly fell to the ground, with snow-white foam coming from the sharp canines. gush.

Bai Xuehe squinted his eyes and looked at it, feeling relieved. He sat in the stable and unbuttoned his clothes. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the blood oozing from the wound. Bai Fu hadn't come back yet, so he stood up and walked for a few minutes. He couldn't help but fell to the ground, scraping his body against the rough wall of the stable.

Heidan stopped in a corner where Bai Xuehe couldn't see, thought for a while and still managed to get out, then slowly crawled to his side, and whispered: "I might be ugly if I take shape, don't hate me."

Bai Xuehe heard the "hissing" sound for no reason, and thought that the little snake was about to bite him, and was struggling to stand up, when suddenly his eyes went dark, and there was actually a person standing in the corner of the stable.

The man had a youthful face, about ten or twelve years old, and there was still some childishness in Qingjun's brows. He opened his mouth slowly, and tremblingly said in a soft and sticky youthful voice: "I'll save you, don't say it, I know The changeling is kind of ugly, but not a bad monster."

"Can you." Bai Xuehe gasped and said, "Put on your clothes first."

……

When Bai Fu came back, Bai Xuehe was lying on the bed, surrounded by several imperial physicians, and the golden cigarette stick was placed beside the pillow.

A young man in his twenties followed behind Bai Fu, dressed extremely gorgeously, and wore a necklace inlaid with beautiful jade around his neck. He looked around the imperial physician with a sneer, raised his eyebrows and said, "What should I do? Master Bai, have you been bitten by a dog?"

This is Xu Lingxiao, the son of General Xu, Duke of Zhen Guo. Even if other people don't like Bai Xuehe, they will be afraid of the emperor saying something nice, but the Xu family is different. In addition to holding the military power, the Xu family is also the mother's family of the current empress dowager.

Bai Fu was a little displeased, and couldn't help raising his head and said: "It was your dog that bit our master, why are you so rude..."

"My Dabao has always been well-behaved, don't talk nonsense." Xu Lingxiao snapped, "I still think you fed something unclean, and I haven't asked you to pay for the dog yet!"

Xu Lingxiao pointed at Bai Fu with every sentence, but alluded to Bai Xuehe with a gun and a stick. Bai Xuehe still smiled silently. The imperial doctor bandaged the wound and said nothing was wrong. Humiliated, he rushed out with the silver. Xu Lingxiao was surrounded by many servants, and he couldn't get close.

Before they left, they took the dog's body away in disgust, and even spat at the gate of the mansion.

"General Xu's family probably didn't have much money, so they paid us a little and took away the dog's corpse." Bai Fu laughed along, "I'll prepare what the master wants to eat tonight, and it just so happens that Xiao Wei is also back. Tell her to cook."

"Of course you have to accept the money, and I will reward you." Bai Xuehe smiled, then slowly frowned and said: "You just said that they took the dog's body away?"

"Yes." Bai Fu said dissatisfied: "Perhaps you are still thinking about the dog skin!"

"I can't rest yet." Bai Xuehe sneered, "Go to Dali Temple to find Mr. Zhang, and send the case file that the emperor asked me to investigate the monster."

Bai Fu took the lead and left. The little snake poked his head out from behind the screen in the room. He was wearing the clothes of Bai Xuehe, his hair was tied in a crooked way, his whole body was trembling in fear, and he looked like a very young child.

Although the incident happened suddenly, Bai Xuehe didn't find it scary when facing this stupid guy, on the contrary, he found it a little amusing.

"You will become a human, and you can still talk." Bai Xuehe lowered his head and looked into those round eyes, "My name is Bai Xuehe, just say something."

Heitan tremblingly said: "Bai Xuehe..."

Bai Xuehe found it even more amusing, so he continued: "Tell me, four is forty is ten, fourteen is fourteen..."

"Four..." Heidan's voice was soft, and finally seemed to be crying, and he let out two soft "hissing" sounds.

"That's all." Bai Xuehe's conscience realized that he couldn't bear to tease him any longer, so he pulled the child over to tie his hair for him, and then asked, "You just said that you climbed into the basket by yourself?"

"Yes, but I'm a good monster." Hei Dan's braid was held in his hand, and he explained with a trembling voice, "I didn't do anything bad either."

"Really?" Bai Xuehe smiled and said, "I asked you before if you could understand human speech, but you didn't agree."

Heidan's round eyes were wide open, and his face looked soft and easy to pinch. He was stunned for a while, then murmured: "That's because..."

He said a few words, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he didn't have anything to say.

It was only then that Bai Xuehe understood that the snake was afraid that he would find the monster and find him, so he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. A cowardly monster like him would still kill people. Even if this guy was caught, the emperor would not believe it.

"Then you go back, I didn't want you to stay." Bai Xuehe stretched out his hand to poke his head, "Don't let someone catch you again."

Heidanwen let out an annoyed "Mmm", with an expression like that of a young child. He walked a few steps, then retreated, walked a few more steps, and retreated again.

Bai Xuehe was baffled, seeing that face getting more and more sad, this silly monster kept staring blankly, and after a long time he said flatly: "I can't change back..."

There was a "hum" in the air, and the little snake looked down at its belly again, a blush spread on its cheeks.

"Get you something to eat." Bai Xuehe suddenly smiled gently, and Heidan immediately ran over, looking at him happily.

Bai Xuehe asked softly: "What's your name?"

"Hei..." Heidan thought for a while, and felt that his name was too ugly, so he said a nice name he had heard before, "My name is Cang Hua."

What Heidan said was very guilty.

Bai Xuehe smiled: "Then I'll call you Xiao Hei."

"Ah?" Heidan raised his head, showing an unacceptable aggrieved expression.
