General, there is a demon [Rebirth]

The afterglow of the evening cast a yellow halo on Xiao Duo's upright body, which seemed to warm the icy aura around him a bit.

Huo Changying took back the steps he had taken, and stood by the porch, looking at Xiao Duo.

He thought, three days gone.

The eyes of the two met across the plum blossom trees. In an instant, those childhood playful scenes seemed to turn into colorful butterflies of light and shadow, fluttering and flying between the two with the sincere and green heartbeat of childhood.

They wanted to catch it, but found that the time had changed and the scene had changed, and both of them had changed their minds.

Huo Changying didn't speak, he just glanced at Xiao Duo indifferently, then reincarnated and walked towards the backyard.

"Long..." Seeing Huo Changying turn around, Xiao Duo couldn't help but took a step forward, but he didn't know what to think, so he stopped abruptly, watching the hem of the black cloak disappear at the corner of the veranda.

This is... the one he gave the eldest baby when they met again?

"uncle."

His sleeve was pulled, Xiao Duo lowered his head to meet Lan Nianjun's clear eyes, "Why doesn't uncle chase after aunt?"

The child blinked his clear eyes, with a bit of restraint, but with a bit of cunning in his eyes: "I haven't seen my uncle for so many days, I must miss my uncle very much."

Xiao Duo didn't speak, and stretched out his hand to rub Lan Nianjun's head expressionlessly.

He looked at the direction where the figure disappeared, and his brows gradually frowned, Changying... really miss him too?

At the corner of the veranda, Huo Changying stopped suddenly, not knowing whether it was the influence of his childhood memory, or because of Xiao Duo's careful care in recent days, he patted his heart beating rapidly, smiled helplessly and shook his head.

The fingers under the wide sleeve quickly squeezed the formula, Huo Changying suppressed the smile on his face, and walked quickly to the backyard room.

Back in the room, a small furry figure rushed over, and Huo Changying quickly reached out to catch it.

"Beauty Celestial Master!"

Ah Fei stood in Huo Changying's palm, raised his head and held up the pine nuts in his hand, and said happily: "The pine nuts that the little fairy gave me are simply delicious in the world, even better than melon seeds!"

Huo Changying laughed, and stretched out his hand to poke Ah Fei's round belly: "As expected of Ah Fei." He walked to the desk and put Ah Fei down.

Fatty heard the joke in Huo Changying's mouth, twisted his furry little round buttocks, crawled towards the desk, and said: "You are jealous, you are a beauty, you can't hide it from Ah Fei." He used his claws together, and managed to crawl On the last stack of books, he gasped and said, "Fat... the little fairy of Fatty loves Fatty so much, does the general of the beautiful celestial master also love you like this?"

He felt a little proud thinking about it, how could that cold-faced Rat Scare General, like his little fairy, gently feed the beautiful Heavenly Master?

In fact, he didn't know why he made such a comparison, but one day, when he was listening to a book at Brother Flower Demon's place, when he mentioned the beautiful celestial master and the scary general, Brother Flower Demon placed flower branches on the ground and said: " Well, speaking of it, we are actually on the same level as your beautiful Heavenly Master."

Although Ah Fei didn't understand what Brother Huayao meant, but he listened to it after all. Today I got some delicious food from the little fairy, so I can't help but show it off to the beautiful celestial master.

It thought, holding the pine nuts in both hands, and raised its small chin, which seemed a little bit arrogant.

Huo Changying: "..."

Huo Changying didn't know what was going on in Ah Fei's little head, so he flicked his fingers on Ah Fei's little head, pressed down with a smile, and said in a deep voice, "Don't be so talkative, work quickly!"

On the table, there are rows of yellow talisman papers arranged in a regular manner, which are blank and have not yet drawn any spells.

Ah Fei stared at the talisman papers all over the table, curled his lips, and wagged his little round tail coquettishly, "Can you not draw?"

Huo Changying looked at Ah Fei's begging little black bean eyes, and almost uttered a good word. He dipped his sleeves and dipped the brush, and glanced at him: "Draw quickly, otherwise..." He curled his lips and smiled, but his tone was chilling .

Ah Fat Mao Mao frowned, curled his lips, and stretched his little paws into the cinnabar inkstone with grievance and appointment, and the little paws covered with bright red cinnabar were patting and writing on the talisman paper.

Not long after, a decent talisman paper was drawn.

Huo Changying picked up the pen and drew quickly on the talisman paper. He glanced distractedly at Ah Fei from time to time, tapped the pen on the head of Ah Fei who was trying to be lazy and simplify the talisman, and said mercilessly: "This is invalid, draw again."

After eating too many pine nuts, Ah Fei, who was about to fall asleep, was knocked by the pen holder suddenly, and almost jumped up with a squeak. He reluctantly pulled off the ruined charm of the painting, "Got it."

The protracted tone clearly expressed the master's dissatisfaction.

Huo Changying glanced at him, tapped on the talisman paper and said earnestly: "What I asked you to draw is a safety talisman for people to ward off disasters and take refuge. This is also a kind of practice, and it is also beneficial to the improvement of your cultivation. Besides..."

Huo Changying smiled, and poked Ah Fei's soft ass with the pen, "You just happen to lose weight too, otherwise you'll be a fat ratball in the spring, you don't have to fly, just roll sideways, faster than anyone else!"

Ah Fei, who felt some pain in his knees: "..."

Huo Changying looked at Ah Fei who started drawing talismans again, and raised his eyebrows in satisfaction. He had used a lot of talisman paper these days, and since he was traveling around, he found that there seemed to be evil spirits surging in Yong'an City, so he sent a few words of peace The talisman was given to several families who were entangled by evil spirits.

Unexpectedly, he would pass it on ten times to one hundred times, and before he returned to the Duke's Mansion, the safety charms had been given away.

Although he knew that not all the people who came to ask for talismans were sincere, and most of them had the mentality that nothing was better than nothing, but the talisman papers were real and could always help them avoid some evil influences.

Huo Changying was so happy.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door, and then I heard Lan Nianjun's childish voice outside the door: "Is auntie there? I'm here to deliver something."

The moment the knock on the door sounded, Huo Changying's heart rose unconsciously. After realizing that it wasn't Xiao Duo, even he himself didn't notice the loss in his tone: "Mr. Nian, come in, the door is unlocked."

Huo Changying swept his long sleeves over the table, and the talisman flew into the sleeves in an instant, and quickly winked at Ah Fei.

Ah Fei, whose paws were dipped in cinnabar, shivered, and hurriedly rubbed on the felt beside him, then picked up the pine nuts beside him like a rat, and squatted obediently on the book.

Huo Changying looked at the snow-white felt with tiny red marks, and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"aunt."

When Lan Nianjun came in, he saw Huo Changying frowning and rubbing his temples, and asked obediently and caringly, "Does Auntie have a headache? Do you need Nianjun to rub it for you?"

Huo Changying put down his hands when he heard the words, and said in a soft voice: "It's nothing, Auntie is fine," he said, pulling Ah Fei and rubbing him hard, and said with a smile, "Is there something wrong, Mr. Xiao Nian?"

Lan Nianjun hurriedly withdrew his gaze from Ah Fei's reddish paws, held the things in his hands with both hands, raised a decent smile, and said in a milky voice: "At night, my aunt turns around and leaves. She doesn't want to say anything to my uncle. , Uncle felt that he must have offended Auntie, so he specially asked me to bring pastries to Auntie."

The child was speaking solemnly, but he had already reached the age of teeth replacement. When speaking, one of the front teeth fell out, which was a bit leaky, which inevitably showed a little more childish innocence.

Huo Changying smiled, handed Ah Fei to Lan Nianjun, took the pastry and opened it, the fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus cake was still slightly warm, and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafted in, his eyes flashed.

In fact, Xiao Duo has always remembered his favorite pastry shop.

Huo Changying calmed down, gave Lan Nianjun a few pieces of pastries, and asked indifferently, "Where's your uncle?"

Lan Nianjun saw Huo Changying's expression, smiled and said obediently: "Uncle wanted to come by himself, but there was something urgent in the palace, so I asked Nianjun to send it."

Huo Changying nodded, and gave Lan Nianjun some pastries.

Lan Nianjun wanted to decline, after all, it was my uncle who rode out to buy it for his aunt, and the pastry was still hot when he brought it back, but he looked down at Ah Fei's wet eyes full of longing, suddenly changed his tone, and took the pastry , smiled obediently: "Thank you, auntie."

Ah Fei was very happy. When he opened the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, his saliva was about to flow down, and it was hard to ask for it directly. He looked eagerly at the appearance of the beautiful Tianshi's precious cake.

Xin said, Brother Hua Yao is indeed right, the beauty Tianshi is really the same as them!

Ah Fei was carried out of the door by Lan Nianjun, nestled in the soft little hands of the little fairy, gnawing on the sweet pastry and still thinking, um, it must be - they all like to eat pastries!

The flower demon, who came back from basking in the sun by the window, was jumping into the house dragging the flowerpot, when she suddenly felt an itchy nose, and almost burst the flowerpot with a sneeze.

Huo Changying: "..." Disgustingly swept away the dirt and dregs on the table.

The flower demon: "..." Embarrassingly, the dirt on the side of the flower pot was pulled into the pot.

This night, Huo Changying's pillow was still cold, but for some reason, the unspeakable bitterness in his heart was less.

In the dream, it seemed that he and Xiao Duo were back when they were young.

Birds chirp outside the forest, and apricot blossoms in the courtyard are lightly raining.

At the spring feast in Yong'an City.

The expressionless Xiaoshizi sat behind the desk, secretly writing down the pastries that the little boy opposite him often ate.

The little boy seemed to notice something, the pastry brought to his mouth stopped, looking for his eyes, through the dancer's twirling skirt, amidst the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, he grinned at the man, showing his small white teeth missing a front tooth .

Xiao Shizi's expression froze, his face turned red and he turned his eyes away.

From then on, whenever the little boy was unhappy, Xiao Shizi would always take out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from behind and calmly cheer him up.

The little boy had always thought that Xiao Shizi could do tricks, but he didn't know that the warm sweet-scented osmanthus cake was wrapped in his bosom and put on his heart.

In his sleep, Huo Changying laughed and burst into tears.

The next day, the sun is rising and the sky will be bright.

The door-opening drum of the Drum Tower of Yong'an City resounded heavily.

Huo Changying was unconsciously grabbing Xiao Duo's coat and sleeping soundly, when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door, turned over a little irritably, rolled the coat he was holding into his arms, closed his eyes and thought Go to sleep again.

"Miss Chang," the butler Lao Tao called out in a low voice, "have you got up yet?"

Through the door, there was some embarrassment and anxiety in the vague voice.

Huo Changying rubbed his eyes and asked, "Did something happen to Uncle Tao?"

The butler Lao Tao heard someone's echo. Although he was a little puzzled by Miss Chang's hoarse voice, he still hurriedly said: "There are many people gathered outside the gate of the house. They want to see you by name. Look..."

Hearing this, Huo Changying was startled, and his chaotic mind suddenly cleared up. He hurriedly got up and dressed, and when he was about to go to bed, he saw Xiao Duo's coat, which was neatly folded beside the pillow, was crumpled by himself and lying on the bed. In the middle, the tip of the ear suddenly became hot.

Chaos washed his face with cold water, and the thoughts in his heart were barely dissipated. After Huo Changying groomed his face, he pushed the door out of the room.

Seeing him coming out, Lao Tao, the housekeeper, stepped forward as if seeing a savior, and said respectfully: "Those people heard from nowhere that you have something here to keep you safe, and they gathered outside the gate of the mansion early this morning. ,"

Old Tao said with a distressed face: "Although only the eldest son is in office in the Duke's Mansion, he is still an honorable man. If we drive them away, I'm afraid..."

Huo Changying nodded, "Uncle Tao, I'll go out with you to have a look."

He knew what Uncle Tao wanted to say, if he really sent people to drive the people away, someone might be involved in a book saying that the Duke of Jin's government was bullying the weak.

Huo Changying followed the housekeeper to the door and was a little surprised that so many people had gathered.

He only delivered the talisman at Pingkangfang that day, and he never mentioned his fabricated identity by Xiao Duo. These people actually knew that he lived in the Duke of Jin's mansion?

When Huo Changying thought about it, he felt something was wrong. He thought that he would risk going to the Duke's mansion to ask for a peace talisman, but someone in his family must have been harassed by evil spirits and had nowhere to go. He originally wanted to send the talisman away. Afraid of attracting more people.

If you think about it further, if the person on the throne finds out, maybe you will suspect that the Duke of Jin's government intends to win the hearts of the people, and the intention is wrong.

The position of the pure ministers of the three generations of the Xiao family will collapse, and no matter whether they have the intention of treason or not, the seeds of suspicion will be planted in the emperor's heart.

And Xiao Duo...

In the history books, it is doomed that the horse leather shroud will die on the battlefield.

Thinking about it, Huo Changying's heart twitched, and his footsteps suddenly stopped. Looking at the crowd surging outside the mansion through the diamond window, he frowned, hesitating whether he should go out or not.

"Who are you talking about!" An old and powerful voice came from the crowd with anger.

Huo Changying's doubtful voice sounded familiar. The butler beside him, Tao Tao, was a little anxious when he saw that he was standing still, but suddenly he was stunned when he heard the voice, and his face was overjoyed.

Huo Changying didn't pay attention to Lao Tao's strangeness, followed the sound, and saw a hale and hearty figure in ragged clothes in the crowd, he was slightly stunned, it turned out to be the old beggar from yesterday?

Before he could figure it out, the housekeeper, Old Tao, had already greeted him excitedly, and waved to the boy beside him, saying, "Go and inform the eldest lady that the Duke is back, hurry up!"

Huo Changying: "!!" He looked in surprise at the energetic old man who was arguing with someone.

It turned out to be the Duke of Jin, Xiao Duo's father, and the family friend of the Huo family's father——Xiao Yicheng? !

Before he pulled the butler to ask for clarification, the butler was no longer around, Huo Changying's forehead twitched, and he said to himself that he had never seen Uncle Tao's legs and feet so agile before.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Xiao Yicheng, dressed in rags, was standing on the stone steps, angrily knocking on the ground with a tree branch that fell from nowhere.

"Who said my daughter-in-law of the Xiao family has no name or surname!?" The wooden stick in Xiao Yicheng's hand hit the ground with a bang.

There were rebuttals from the crowd.

Huo Changying listened with pricked ears for a while, some said that Xiao Guogong lied, some said that his origin was unknown, and some said with certainty that he belonged to the Jiaofang woman.

Huo Changying twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, thinking that it was probably some teahouse that told the story of the Lantern Festival as the truth, and people's hearts are easy to be deceived, and some people believed it.

Xiao Yicheng was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "My daughter-in-law of the Xiao family was settled at a young age! She is the distant relative of the Xiao family's wives, Qinghe Chang's family!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar. Although the Qinghe Chang family had gradually declined in Great Yin, the great family that had lasted for hundreds of years still had a lot of prestige.

Seeing that Duke Jin's butler went out to greet him in person, everyone was embarrassed.

Huo Changying inside the door suddenly froze when he heard the words. If the sister of the Xiao family said that she was fooled by Xiao Duo's anti-fetal medicine, how could the old Duke accept him so calmly, who came out of nowhere? Daughter-in-law", and put him under the name of such an aristocratic family?

Before he came back to his senses, the butler Lao Tao had already entered the door welcoming the old Duke.

Xiao Yicheng looked at Huo Changying. Huo Changying came back to his senses and wondered if he should perform the Wanfu ceremony of a woman. Before he could do anything, he heard Mr. Xiao laughing angrily: "Baby, I guess it's you, today When I saw it, it really was you!"

Huo Changying: "..." He was a little puzzled, so he heard Mr. Xiao laughing and said, "What a baby, Qinghe Chang's family, isn't it not bad?" There was a bit of slyness in his tone, and he took a deep look at Huo Changying who was stunned on the spot , followed Lao Tao with a smile and left.

In the blink of an eye, Huo Changying seemed to have figured out something, a slight chill ran down his spine, Duke Xiao... did he know his identity?

Most of the people outside the gate joined in the fun and booing, most of them dispersed after seeing this.

The remaining few, with sad faces and worried faces, dared not go forward, only dared to pace back and forth in the distance, looking here and there from time to time.

Behind the lozenge window, Huo Changying saw the panic of these people in his eyes, turned his wrists under his sleeves, and pinched the formula in his mouth, and several talisman papers flew away quietly, and fell into the lapels of those people by surprise.

Those few people saw that there was no hope, so they went home dejectedly, and when they took off their clothes at night, they suddenly found that the safety talisman in the skirt was very moved, and they said that they are kind-hearted.

In the Duke's mansion, Huo Changying was sitting on pins and needles, blowing the cold wind in the garden pavilion, waiting for Mr. Xiao's question, constantly thinking about all kinds of possibilities in his mind.

The subordinates stroked the hair on Ah Fei's back again and again, only touching Ah Fei's hairs, and the hair blew up again and again.

"Eldest baby!"

The man's deep and melodious voice called him back from his wild thoughts, and Huo Changying pushed his hand hard, and Ah Fei, who was being pinched in pain, rushed to the railing with a "cheep".

The little paws rubbed Mao Mao's buttocks that were hurting, and tilted his head to watch curiously. The scary general pressed the beauty Tianshi on the pavilion pillar.

The author has something to say:

small theater

Xiao Duo (angry): What is the relationship between you and Changying?

Ah Fei & Flower Demon (rolling eyes): Girlfriend relationship

Xiao Duo (satisfied smile): Baby, come here

Changying: ... get lost
