Hu Xiaotong's Fate with the Demon

【three】

Outside the city gate, a figure approached quickly. Although it was a cloudy day today, it didn't look like it was going to rain. The person who came was wearing a huge bamboo hat and was sneaking his head around.

"Stop!" The elder brother guarding the city yelled as he did his duty, making the man tremble with fright.

"What are you doing! Why is it so tightly covered in broad daylight!"

"...Brother Zhao, it's me..." Hu Xiaotong lifted his thick face covered by the bamboo hat, revealing a white and tender face with two round dark circles under his eyes.

"Oh, Xiao Tong, why do you look like this? Who beat you up? Brother, let me vent my anger on you!"

"No..." Hu Xiaotong sighed, and put down the curtain again, "My house was plagued by rats last night, so I stayed up all night to buy some rat poison."

"Well, let me tell you why you didn't carry the burden, then go quickly, the shop on the west side of the street is the best for rat poison."

"Okay, thank you Brother Zhao."

Mice?It's almost annoying.Hu Xiaotong tossed and turned thinking about Qi Chu, but couldn't sleep anymore like a girl who was pregnant with spring, and counted the moons in the sky with her eyes open, and there was only one after counting.

In his memory, he had never had such a difficult night.But his fox head can't figure out why, he will never forget the big villain who pulled his tail, the clever little fox thought about it, and finally came to a reasonable conclusion-Qi Chu knows magic...?

Nonsense, he was originally a demon.However, there is a huge gap between monsters and monsters, just like the loach in the mud, naturally it cannot be compared with the dragon that churned up the huge waves in the deep sea.The sorcery that Hu Xiaotong mentioned is generally the charm technique used by other spirits to describe the fox clan. The sorcery is very subtle, and as long as the eyes are as soft as silk and the voice is seductive, a large number of crooked melons can be captured. date.Therefore, Hu Xiaotong has reason to believe that that villain Qi Chu must have given him some kind of coquettish or soul-snatching technique.As a brave and controversial little fox, how could he not investigate it!So Hu Xiaotong resolutely embarked on a journey to find the truth. By the way, he went to Qi Chu to get back the crispy chicken that he forgot to order yesterday.Well, just by the way, he wouldn't bow down for a chicken.

Hu Xiaotong also lived on this street for a year or two, so he naturally knew that those shops were opened by Qi Chu, guessing that he should be in the big shop in the center of the street, Hu Xiaotong walked over quickly.

"Here... what kind of cloth do you want?" Seeing Hu Xiaotong coming in, the little guy hurried up to greet him, looked at Hu Xiaotong, not sure what to call him.

"Is Qi Chu there?"

"Boss? Are you looking for him?"

"Ah."

"But..." The boss didn't say that someone would come to him today, and the guy didn't know what to do for a while.

"Little fox...Tong?" The curtain behind the door was lifted, and it was Qi Chu who came, and the word "hu" was just half-spoken and turned into "Tong".

"Boss, he said he wanted to see you."

Qi Chu handed a list to the clerk, "I recognize him, you go and give this to Uncle Liu, let him pick up the missing items when they arrive today."

"Okay!" The man responded, saluted and left.

"Qi Chu!" Hu Xiaotong kept his purpose firmly in mind, and immediately called out quite imposingly.

"You came all the way? Come and drink some tea first." Qi Chu opened the curtain, revealing a small courtyard. He looked back at Hu Xiaotong, "This way."

For some reason, Hu Xiaotong obediently followed Qi Chu into the small courtyard of his house, and was led into the private room.

"Why are you wearing a bamboo hat? To cover the sun?" As he spoke, he reached out and took off the bamboo hat. "Are you, were you beaten up?" There was a deep, muffled smile in the voice.

"Give me back the bamboo hat!" Hu Xiaotong got up and wanted to snatch it back. It was really embarrassing to stare at the two big black eyes!

"There's no one else here." Qi Chu shook the broken bamboo hat in his hand, and disappeared instantly.

"You!" Hu Xiaotong gritted his teeth, and secretly charged up a spell and threw it over, but Qi Chu easily blocked it.

"Okay, stop making trouble, you left too fast yesterday."

Hu Xiaotong is not in the mood to listen to him, grabs his tail, even grabs his bamboo hat, Qi Chu is a big villain!

At the same time, several attendants pushed the door open, put down a few snow-white steaming plates and left again.

"Little fox, your crispy chicken."

Crispy chicken? !Hu Xiaotong finally came back to his senses, shrugged his nose and inhaled the aroma, his saliva almost came out!Crispy chicken!Really crispy chicken!

"For me?"

"That's right, I didn't mean to exchange this for your incense powder. You ran too fast yesterday."

Any anger disappeared completely in front of the delicious food, Hu Xiaotong quickly took the chair under his buttocks to the table, and began to remove the first chicken leg.

"Delicious!" Bite open the crispy outer skin, but the chicken inside is unexpectedly tough and tender, soaked in the taste of spices, neither strong nor light nor heavy.

"Slow down, no one will fight with you." Qi Chu saw him eating happily, with a smile on his face, took a handkerchief to wipe the scum on his face, and poured himself a glass I drank the tea made by the camellia flower slowly.

A chicken was quickly dealt with by Hu Xiaotong, he licked his oily lips unsatisfied, and took the wet handkerchief from Qi Chu to wipe his face and oily paws.

"Return the bamboo hat to you." Qi Chukong grabbed the bamboo hat that had just disappeared in his hand, "Put it here."

It's embarrassing to replace Hu Xiaotong now, he's soft-spoken, and he didn't really snatch his bamboo hat.

"How did you recognize me?" Hu Xiaotong suddenly thought, how could he be easily recognized because he was so tightly disguised?

"I remember your taste." Qi Chu replied lightly, took a clean porcelain cup and pushed the cup of tea in front of Hu Xiaotong, "Tea."

"Oh……"

Wait... What did Qi Chu say?Taste...taste...I always feel...so ashamed...

ah!Did he touch my face just now!This... How can this work...

The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he became, Hu Xiaotong twisted the corner of his clothes tangledly, his face gradually turned from pink to red, with two dark circles under his eyes, his small appearance was quite happy.

Qi Chu secretly observed his changes, and felt that this little fox was very interesting, and always wanted to be kept in a pen.He couldn't help but grinned, and stretched out his big hand to rub his round head.

Feels good.

Hu Xiaotong froze for a moment. It's not that he hasn't been touched on the head, but it's not as big and warm as this hand, which made him want to rub against it, turning into a fox looking for petting and hugging.

Ahhh, Hu Xiaotong, you worthless thing!What a disgrace to the fox family!

"Little Fox, how about I do a business with you?" Closer to home, Qi Chu rested his chin on his left hand and looked at Hu Xiaotong with a troubled expression in his leisure time.

"Business?" Subconsciously asked back, Hu Xiaotong murmured that it was not good - he seemed to be led by the nose by Qi Chu again.

"You sell loose powder all day long and the profit is not high. I just bought the small cubicle opposite. I don't know what to sell. Why don't you open a small shop there?" Qi Chu made a good plan and planned to sell the small The fox circle was playing around with him, alas... who made Yaosheng so boring.

"Ah?" Hu Xiaotong hadn't thought about opening a shop, he thought it would be good for him to live in a small wooden house and carry a small burden to earn money to buy snacks.

"You don't have to worry about the rent, just leave me a box of incense powder every day." Seeing his hesitation, Qi Chu increased his price again, "We have crispy chicken every day."

The so-called country is easy to change, but nature is hard to change. When he heard the crispy chicken, Hu Xiaotong's stomach began to move, even though he had just digested one.

"how about?"

"I...I have to think about it..." Hu Xiaotong hesitated, he was indeed tempted, but he really couldn't bear to part with the happy days when he brought a pot of herbal tea and the flower demon sisters to eat snacks in the mountains at sunset.If you open a small shop on the street, this leisure will be greatly reduced.

"Then, then, I'll talk to you when I think about it."

Qi Chu nodded, and tapped the table with her slender index finger, "You live in the mountains, don't you?"

"Hmm!" Hu Xiaotong was a little proud. You know, the cabin in the mountains was built by himself—er, using spells.

"Then, I heard that Yuehua in the mountains looks good?"

"Ah? It seems to be..." Yuehua is a treasure in the mountains, but its appearance is simple. It is said that it blooms once every hundred years, and the flowering period is very short and fleeting.However, because it is no different from a weed when it is not in bloom, very few people know it, let alone be lucky enough to witness the blooming of the moon.

But why did Qi Chu ask this?

Hu Xiaotong felt a "thump" in his heart.Very few people know that there is such a moonflower growing in the mountain. Could it be that Qi Chu wants to seize this rare treasure after getting the news?

In that case, is he approaching him for this purpose?

For a moment, Hu Xiaotong broke into a cold sweat from the fright of his imaginary.

"what happened?"

"No, no, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

The saddest thing in the world is being taken advantage of by villains when you treat each other sincerely.Hu Xiaotong obviously didn't want to introduce disasters into the mountains because of his own selfishness.

Without waiting for Qi Chu to explain, Hu Xiaotong took his broken bamboo hat and left first, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.
