Male Fox Liaozhai Fanran

六

In late spring, the east wind is slightly drunk, the catkins are flying, and the remaining flowers are falling on the ground.

Counting it, two months and three days had passed since we parted ways with He Yuntong, and Liu Zigu gradually stopped thinking about that person, and only regarded it as a dream of Nankey, which became empty after waking up.

Although he comforted himself like this, he still felt somewhat lost in his heart. Liu Zigu sighed and shook the folding fan in his hand, with a look of loneliness between his brows.

The handsome black horse that was left behind was raised by him to be very healthy and well-proportioned, and his black eyes were filled with clear water every time he looked at him. He couldn't bear to tell it that your playmate might never come back , forget about him.

Liu Zigu was leaning on the counter and wandering in the sky, a scent suddenly came to his nostrils, something lightly tapped on the top of his head,

"Zigu, you don't come to greet the guests when they arrive, why are you so dazed here?"

Liu Zigu raised his eyelids. Today Axiu was wearing a goose-yellow Liuxian dress and a moon-white cloud silk cloak over her head, which made her skin whiter than snow, and she was graceful and graceful.The visitor gently shook his fan, his willow eyebrows were half-bent, and his starry eyes were full of smiles, like rippling blue waves.

Liu Zigu stared at Axiu for two seconds. Since the last time they quarreled, the two had never had any quarrels. If they had different opinions, they each took a half step back. It really became the so-called "respect each other as guests." ".

He couldn't help wondering if this was a real couple, or just a fantasy.

"Zigu?"

Liu Zigu regained his senses, closed the folding fan and put it aside, and said with a smile, "Why are you here when you are free? Where is Xun'er?"

Axiu looked away from the man's hand, hooked the corners of her lips, and smiled with a bit of reproach, "Xun'er went to school for the first day today, and it's not time for school to end yet, look at you, you're such a fool gone."

Liu Zigu was taken aback, nodded again and again, and said, I was negligent.

Liu Xun was born two years after Liu Zigu and Axiu got married. He is already six years old this year, and should be at school age. Liu Zigu always spends his days in the shop doing business, or doing business for others. Drawing on fans and writing scripts, he has little contact with Liu Xun and is not close.

Liu Xun looks like Axiu, but naturally he also looks like Xiulang. His eyes are clear and watery, like shining stars embedded in the night sky.

In my impression, the chubby child with blinking eyes and grabbing his cuffs to hug him suddenly grew so big.

Liu Zigu felt a little guilty, and felt that he had not fulfilled his father's responsibility, and said, "When Xun'er will come back, I will go pick him up with you."

Axiu raised the corners of her lips, her eyes lit up again, and said: "I came here to tell you about this matter. The school that Xun'er is in is currently recruiting teachers. When I mentioned you to them, they thought Zigu, you are the right candidate, you are knowledgeable and gentle, and you are the most suitable for teaching and educating people."

"Me?" Liu Zigu frowned, feeling that this matter was very strange, and was about to refuse, when he heard Axiu say: "The salary they give is very high, our small calligraphy and painting shop is cold, and we don't even know it for a day." We didn't see a few guests... and there were no famous people who wrote or painted for us..."

Axiu was embarrassed to speak, but Liu Zigu understood in his heart. He looked at Axiu's forced smile, and swallowed back the words he was about to say, "Then, what about this store, is it closed?"

Axiu shook her head and said with a smile: "That's not necessary, I have already drawn up a notice, we can recruit a few apprentices at a low price, just teach them to manage accounts, just look at the facade, anyway, few people come to the store. "

Looking at Axiu's dignified and elegant face, Liu Zigu suddenly felt a little strange, he gently pulled his hand out of Axiu's soft palm, and said in a calm tone, "Since you have already made arrangements, why bother to inform you?" I?"

"Zigu, I..." Axiu raised her eyes abruptly, her face stained with embarrassment.

Liu Zigu raised his hand to stop the man's words, but his eyes fell on the emptiness in the distance, "No need to say any more, I know you are also thinking about this family, it's good to be a teacher, fighting with the children It doesn't take much effort to deal with each other, and I can take the opportunity to spend more time with Xun'er."

He was not made for business, but this was what he wanted.

There was a relieved smile on Axiu's face. Before she left, she glanced at the folding fan on the counter that was left alone, and slightly curled her lips, "The pendant on this fan is so beautiful, can you..."

Liu Zigu frowned slightly, and put the folding fan into his cuff before the man could speak, and said with downcast eyes: "This is just a cheap one from the street stall, if you like it, I'll order a better one for you. "

Axiu was stunned, her lips parted slightly, and she slowly retracted her hand that stopped in mid-air, "No, I never like these things."

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------

In the extreme south of Qingqiu, in the generation of Pushui, there are very few foxes living and cultivating here, and the dark clouds cover the top all day long, and the sun cannot be seen.The turbid waves are surging, rolling endlessly, crashing against the gray-black rocks on the shore with all their strength, and the sound is loud and earth-shattering, and it is like the howling of owls and ghosts.

A slender gray-white figure stood on the rocks on the shore, with his hands behind his back.The turbid waves splashed everywhere, but they didn't touch the man's clothes.The person beside him was wearing a red dress, his figure was thin and slender, unbearable, like a weak green bamboo that would break in a rainstorm at any time.

The fox knew very well the significance of the elder bringing him here.

On the banks of the Pu River, most of the monsters who were exiled here committed unforgivable crimes. They either threw themselves into the Pu River and lost their souls, or drank the poisonous poison and became insane for a lifetime.In short, none of them can get a good ending.

"Xiu Lang, do you know why I brought you here?"

The fox's eyebrows drooped slightly, his face pale, "I know."

"Do you know how many idiots who are trapped by love and can't ask for it have sunk here?"

"I know."

"For thousands of years, my white fox family has been the most sentimental, the easiest to seek pleasure, and play in the world... I know that the world is so prosperous, and the world of mortals is indeed easy to linger, but we are demons after all. Forever and ever, that's just a fool's dream."

"Most of the mortals are cowardly and incompetent, with both heads and heads, looking forward and backward. They dare not give up what they have got, and they can't bear to give up what they haven't got."

The white fox remained silent, but his figure swayed. A wave flew over, and the spray hit his feet, and the fluttering clothes immediately turned into a thin layer of red mist.

The elder's eyebrows were slightly closed, and there seemed to be some pain on his face, "Xiu Lang, let me ask you, the granddaughter of the Chihu patriarch, why don't you want to marry her?"

The white fox was slightly stunned, lowered his eyes and said: "The younger generation's heart is not on her, the younger generation does not want to delay someone in vain."

With a long sigh, he let out a faint sigh, "You still can't forget that Liu Zigu."

A sentence fell lightly on the fox's heart, stirring up a thousand waves.

The elder said again: "You don't have to be nervous. I don't want to ask you about the matter of you going to the human world without permission. I won't pursue the matter that you ruined the intermarriage between my clan and the red fox clan. It's just that the patriarch over there insists Ask us for an explanation... Ask me which ordinary person I am, who has polluted the immortal roots of his future grandson-in-law."

The fox who had been hanging his head silently fell to his knees with a plop. The red clothes were better than the fire, and he dragged on the gravel-strewn ground, blooming an enchanting flower. Ripples of bright red seeped out from the palm of his hand that was holding the ground, dyeing it red. Touching his white jade-like fingertips, he said in a shy voice: "Elder, all of this is my fault, I made my own decisions, and I pretended to be smart... The intermarriage with the red fox clan is not successful, the responsibility is entirely on me, if there is any I will bear the punishment, and it has nothing to do with anyone in my clan, and it has nothing to do with... people in the mortal world."

The elder looked at the thin figure prostrate at his feet, and the furrows on his brows became deeper and deeper, "You've said so much, but it's just for the last sentence."

The white fox trembled slightly.

"If I punish you to jump into the water of the Pu River, so that your body will disappear and your soul will be destroyed, and you will not be reincarnated for ten lives, can you do it?"

"I can."

The white fox looked at the rolling turbid waves beside him, and when he thought that he was about to fall into the abyss that would never be restored, he had no fear in his heart, but gradually became clear. In this life, he could meet a person he truly loves and accompany him through the journey. What more could a husband ask for than a brief but beautiful time?

The sound of the waves shook the sky, the eardrums hurt from the impact, and there was some nausea in his chest. He raised his head, and the person in front of him was suddenly far and near, and his face became more and more unreal.

"Forget it, get up."

The white fox thought he was hallucinating, until a pair of warm arms rested on his shoulders.

"Elder?"

There was a smiling face in front of him, "I was just joking with you. I have settled the matter of the red fox clan, but the other party has a condition. I heard that it was proposed by the patriarch's little granddaughter."

The white fox stood firm with those arms, but his feet were still a little weak. He raised his eyes and said, "What conditions?"

"The little girl just turned [-] years old this year, and she is reaching the age of going down the mountain for experience. She asked you to escort her there."

The fox frowned slightly, knowing that this matter could never be turned back. The red fox clan is growing stronger and its descendants are prosperous. On the other hand, the nine-tailed white fox clan has been declining in recent years, showing signs of decline. If it offends the other party at this time, it may lead to What a curse.

"The reason why I brought you here is also to warn you, this time you go down the mountain, remember not to act emotionally, and let him pass the past, and don't get entangled again."

The white fox took a step back, bowed respectfully, and said calmly: "This junior will definitely cherish himself, and won't be as reckless as before. As for that Liu Zigu...he is already married, and this junior... also knows how to measure himself."

The elder nodded, his eyes still full of worry, he raised his hand and patted the man's shoulder, with a faint voice floating in the cold wind by the river, "I hope you remember what I said today."

The white fox looked at a gray shadow going away in the dark sky, and finally relaxed his tense nerves. He raised his hand and wiped his forehead, the back of his hand was instantly soaked in sweat, and the wind blew, and he suddenly felt cold all over.He raised his eyes and looked at the turbulent and turbulent waves in the river. His chest, waist and abdomen became more and more painful, and a feeling of powerlessness like a hangover flooded his whole body.

He never wanted to come to this place again.

A princess came to Qingqiu recently, although she is not a princess, she is better than a princess.Many little foxes rushed to witness the beauty of this "princess" during their spare time.

"Brother Xiulang, stop drawing, hurry up and take a look, there is a beautiful princess in Qingqiu, Ari has never seen such a beautiful fox sister in her life!"

The white fox put down the brush in his hand, raised his hand and rubbed the top of the little fox's fluffy head, and said softly: "You are only so old, you will grow up in this life, and you will definitely meet more beautiful people in the future."

"There will be no more beautiful fox than Sister Fox!"

The white fox looked at the two little fists clenched tightly on his cuffs, unconsciously curled up the corners of his lips, his smile was full of affection, he rubbed his sore waist from sitting for a long time and got up, his black hair was soft with his movements It poured down on the snow-white skirt, like black plums blooming in the snow, and set off that person's jade-like face.

The elder said that the granddaughter of the chief of the red fox clan will arrive in the near future, so it seems that this is the one.

The white fox lowered his body and picked up the little fox, and said with a smile, "Okay, then you will lead the way, and we will go to see the "princess."

"kindness!"

"I heard that you have a white fox known as "the most beautiful in Qingqiu", known as Xiulang, go and call him out!"

The white fox had just left the cave with Ari in his arms, and before he took a few steps, the clear and pleasant voice had already reached his ears with the wind. A fiery figure appeared in the distance, "Brother Xiulang, that young lady is the princess!"

Before the white fox could react in time, the "princess" had already turned around, stepped on a breeze, and landed in front of her, with a wisp of fragrance brushing the tip of her nose.She raised her hand to brush her long hair across her cheeks, her beautiful Danfeng eyes were full of disdain, and she arrogantly looked at the person in front of her.

The white fox bent down and put the little fox in his arms on the ground, and said softly, "Ahli is going to play elsewhere first, brother has business to talk to this "princess"."

Watching Ahri's figure gradually go away, the white fox turned his head, raised his hand to straighten his clothes, met the man's fierce gaze, and said with a smile: "I am Xiulang, but I can't accept that "title"." Never heard of it."

The figure of the visitor moved slightly, leaning forward, gently touching the man's chin with her fingertips, a long red dress fluttered in the wind with her exquisite and graceful figure, she blinked and smiled like a sky The clouds all descended, "Sure enough, I have some beauty, elegant and unparalleled, much better than the portrait my father gave me."

The white fox still smiled, took a step back and said: "Miss praise, I really dare not take it seriously, I'm just a mediocre person."

The girl hummed softly, retracted her hands and said, "The one who speaks eloquently, learned from those sour talents in the world... Standing so far away, I won't eat you."

The white fox looked at the beautiful and beautiful girl in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It seemed that she was still a child who hadn't grown up.

He heard the man ask again: "I ask you, why do you refuse to marry me? Do you think my appearance is not good enough for you?"

"Girls are naturally beautiful, intelligent and ingenious, and I must be unworthy."

"Then you think our red foxes are lowly and not worthy of your nine-tailed foxes?"

"You and I are of the same origin, how can we talk about superiority?"

The girl stomped her feet, and the ring on the skirt made a delicate sound. Looking at the calm and calm appearance of the man in front of her, she felt inexplicably anxious, "Then what are you doing for!?"

The white fox waved the folding fan, with a calm smile on his face, eyebrows like distant mountains: "Because, I already have someone I like."

The girl was stunned, she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say. She had never heard the word "like" before. She only knew that when the brothers and sisters around her reached their age, their parents would arrange a pair, and they would reproduce only for sex. For the offspring, she thought that she would be like them, living a long life with her partner.

But the fox in front of him said, "He has someone he likes."

And like, what kind of feeling is it?

The breeze blew over the warm cheeks, and the girl looked at the man's smiling eyebrows, as if walking into an ink painting scroll, unconsciously fascinated.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"In the beginning of human beings, their nature is good, their natures are similar, their habits are far apart..."

The gentle wind blows through the verdant courtyard and shakes the peach blossoms all over the tree.The sound of reading books goes away with the wind, and fades into the cooking smoke stirring in the white clouds.

Liu Zigu put down the teacup in his hand, flipped the pages of the book on the table with his fingertips, but his sight was suddenly blocked by a piece of paper full of words.

The handwriting is correct, immature and unadorned, with greenness everywhere, strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a good handwriting.

Liu Zigu raised his head, and in front of him was Liu Xun's shining eyes full of expectation, "Daddy, is my handwriting good? Is it the best among all the students?"

Liu Zigu smiled, raised his hand and patted Liu Xun's head, and said softly: "Of course it is the best, but Xun'er, you need to know that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. Don't be arrogant and arrogant, and waste yourself."

"Yes, my son understands." Liu Xun bowed respectfully, with the posture of a little adult, and Liu Zigu couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at Liu Xun's well-behaved and clear eyes, even with humble and flattering eyes, Liu Zigu felt a sudden pain in his heart, filled with endless remorse. He hadn't paid attention to this child in the past five or six years, and he didn't even take half of his father's responsibility. He didn't make it to the end, what he left for Xun'er was always a cold back view, how cruel and decisive for such a young child.

Liu Zigu looked at Liu Xun's green eyebrows and slightly curved eyes, as if he saw another person through the sparkling water.

His clothes are fluttering, and his feet are dusty. Looking from a distance, he looks like a blue cloud coming out of the mountains, and he looks like a magnolia plant, which is crystal clear and white, and stands gracefully.

"Daddy..."

Liu Zigu was startled for a moment, only to realize that Liu Xun's white and tender hands were gripping his sleeves forcefully. He raised his eyes, but Liu Xun deliberately avoided his gaze.

Liu Zigu felt something was wrong, and frowned, "Xun'er, what's wrong? Is there something I don't understand in the book?"

Liu Xun lowered his head, but within a few seconds, his eyes turned red, he swallowed his saliva, and said softly: "Daddy, I heard someone say... Daddy, you like men, you don't love your mother. He also said that you will leave us sooner or later...is this true?"

The white porcelain teacup was swept down by one hand and fell to the ground. The scalding hot tea that was spilled wet the scroll, and a little bit of water splashed onto the man's arm, scalding a thin blush.

Liu Zigu didn't realize it.Liu Xun was startled, and there was already a cry in his voice, "Daddy... what's wrong with you?"

Liu Zigu took a deep breath, tried to calm his voice, pressed Liu Xun's shoulders, and said word by word: "No matter where I heard these words, forget it, I will not leave Xun'er, and I will not leave Xun'er. won't leave this house."

Liu Xun nodded with red eyes, two tear stains shimmered on his fair cheeks, and his eyes bent into bright crescents in an instant.He stomped and ran back to his seat, found something from behind a stack of books, and ran back eagerly.

"what is this?"

Liu Zigu looked at the things in Liu Xun's hands, frowned and froze.

A folding fan, but there is nothing painted on it, the empty surface of the fan seems to be full of dead branches of flowers.

"My mother asked me to give it to you. She said, "I would like to paint with you, and live up to the youthful heart."

I would like to paint with you and live up to the youthful heart.

The day agreed to go down the mountain to practice has arrived, and the white fox settled down many underage foxes in Qingqiu, and wrote two books, one was sent to Bai Ze, and the other was sent to the elders of the fox clan.

After everything was arranged properly, he set up the clouds, found a tall mountain near Qingqiu, and waited for the other party there.

The white fox is wearing a loose moon-white robe today, with a few pale pink plum branches embroidered on the cuffs. His long hair is untied, but simply tied in a knot with red silk, and it hangs down his slender back like splashed ink.The mountain wind was harsh, and the loose robe was blown violently, which further accentuated the thin figure of the man.

In the distance, a flaming red approached.

The white fox's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"You, how did you become like this!?"

The fox blocked his ears, looked helplessly at the yelling girl in front of him, and said calmly: "It's inconvenient to go to the human world with a real body, so it's more convenient to do things this way."

He forgot to say that he used the identity of He Yuntong to go to the mortal world this time.

After listening to the girl, she nodded appreciatively, stroked the non-existent beard on her chin, and pretended to be old-fashioned: "It seems that you are not too stupid. My mother said that good-looking people usually have bad brains. It seems that you are an exception...of course I am too."

The white fox looked at the two mustaches under the man's nose, and the man's attire that could be seen as a woman by a human being, he shook his head unconsciously, and smiled bitterly in his heart, "Should I change my name to call you son?"

"Well... I am ninth in the family, so you can call me Jiu Ye."

The white fox frowned and said, "Dare to ask Master Jiu to live a long life this year?"

"No more, no less, just turned five hundred years old."

The white fox smiled in his heart, and said to himself that I am over 3000 years old, how can I still call you a yellow-haired kid grandpa?He took out his folding fan and tapped on the man's head lightly, "You will call me Brother Yuntong from now on, and I will call you Ajiu. To the outside world, we are brothers and sisters, do you understand?"

The white fox ignored the complaints from the people behind him, took two steps forward, then turned around and said, "By the way, where are you planning to go down the mountain this time?"

Ah Jiu was stunned, a sly smile flashed across his eyes, and he said word by word: "Gai, Zhou, Cheng!"

The fox staggered suddenly, and almost fell to the bottom of the cliff.

Seven

In the depths of the blue-gray alley, a white figure leaned quietly, like a piece of snow-white jade, a touch of silent moonlight.

With a lot of snacks in her arms, Ah Jiu raised a hand with difficulty, and shook it at the people in the alley, "Fox, why did you hide here? It seems to be a temple fair in the city today, but it's very lively... ..."

Hearing the words, the white fox raised his head, put the folding fan in his cuffs, looked at the big and small bags in Ah Jiu's arms, and couldn't help laughing, "Did you evacuate all the grocery stores in the city?"

Ah Jiu was still smiling, and the two blushes on her face were like the sunset glow flying in the sky. She took a few steps closer, gave the things in her arms forward generously, and said, "Don't take it away!" Put on airs, don’t you come to this world just to have fun? Hurry up, pick what you like to eat!”

The white fox looked at the man's bright smile, the curve of his lips felt a little helpless, he reached out and randomly picked out a bag of hawthorn berries, pinched one and put it in his mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

The white fox took the second one, "It tastes good, very sweet and sour."

The person on the opposite side smiled, "The sugar-coated ones here are a little less, I think the one on West Street is more delicious."

"I think it's okay." After eating the hawthorn fruit for countless lessons, the white fox came to his senses, looked at the two bulging cheeks in front of him, frowned slightly, and said with a solemn expression, "You It is quite clear that the elder ordered me to escort you down the mountain to practice, but it is not for you to appreciate delicious food."

Ah Jiu tried hard to swallow his mouthful of food, raised his hand and patted the man's shoulder, with a little impatience in his tone: "I know, I came to this world to experience life, learn knowledge, and sharpen my mind, but the premise is... we have to Solve the accommodation problem."

The fox frowned when he heard the words, he didn't forget to stuff a hawthorn into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Didn't your elders give you the funds to go down the mountain?"

"The flowers are over." Ah Jiu grinned, revealing a row of neat and white teeth, and before the white fox's fan fell on top of his head, he said again: "I heard that you still have a big house in Gaizhou, anyway, you are idle." It's also idle, why not..."

He's house has been abandoned for several months, the servants have all dispersed, and the empty courtyard is overgrown with weeds, which is as tall as half a person.It was dusk, an orange sunset slantingly reflected in the barren courtyard, a few pear trees in the corner were dead, and a crow was perched on a bare branch, crying sadly and lonely.

The white fox stood outside the gate, wearing white clothes, making him look thinner and more lonely.

Ah Jiu nudged the people around him with his elbow, "Hey, fox, why are you so dazed?"

The white fox came back to his senses, forced a smile, and said, "It's nothing, I think we should find another place to live..."

Ah Jiu tilted his head, stared at a pair of innocent eyes, and asked why.

The white fox couldn't answer, he raised his hand to support his forehead, and his chest was the same as the previous few days, with bursts of dull pain, as if densely packed fine thorns had been run over, it hurt and itched, but he couldn't touch it.

He thought he could really let go of the scholar, but he was just deceiving himself.Otherwise, why would the person's face be all over his head when he came back to this place?

It seems that nothing else can fit.

Ah Jiu looked at the fox's pale face with some worry, and frowned, "I said fox, are you feeling unwell? Seeing that your face is not very good..."

The white fox took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and said it was all right.

Ah Jiu stared at the man for a moment, shook his head, and sighed softly: "Then go and rest for a while, I will clean this place, and I will call you after dinner."

The fox nodded, and no longer tried to push back. He was indeed tired. The distance from Qingqiu to Gaizhou was not long, and it didn't take much magic. If it was in the past, it would not be a problem to go back and forth four or five times. But I don't know what happened, I was very tired all over, and when I was flying on the clouds, my mana seemed to flow out continuously like it was uncontrollable.

The white fox didn't have time to think about it, when he got to the bedroom, he didn't care about the dust on the bed, he lay top-heavy on the quilt, and fell asleep with his clothes on the pillow.

After this sleep, I slept until the tip of the moon.The candle was dimly lit, and a light was like a bean. A slender figure quietly slipped into the door, and slowly approached the bed on tiptoe.

"What do you want to do?"

The white fox slept very lightly, and had already heard the sound beside him. He didn't bother to pay attention to it at first, but the man became even more serious, even pulling his hands on the front of his clothes, and exuded an unbearably thick, foxy smell. Embarrassment.He stood up and pinched the man's snow-white wrist with two fingers. A fiery figure was reflected in his narrowed eyes, showing a little sullenness.

Ah Jiu blinked nonchalantly, pulled back her arm, raised the corners of her lips, and said with a smile, "I thought you were asleep."

The white fox remained silent, still frowning tightly.

"Okay, okay, I'm not interested in you. If I were, I'd be tied up and I'd ask Daddy to tie you back to my cave..." Ah Jiu sat at the table, crossed her legs, and picked up a glass of cool water. She put the tea to her lips and sipped it, her eyes rolled around, and finally stopped on the white fox's face, with a bit of playfulness, she put down the teacup, gently brushed the rim of the cup with her fingertips, and said: " However, you don't even look down on me, I really want to see who is the most beautiful person in the world who can take down this cunning fox like you."

Baihu raised his eyelids, glanced at Ah Jiu's smiling gaze, and said calmly, "Is dinner ready?"

"Huh?" Ah Jiu was taken aback, his expression a little stiff: "Okay."

The white fox lowered his head and straightened his clothes, stood up, with a slight smile on his lips, like the light of water in the sunset, "If you have time to think about my relationship history, why don't you think about the serious things in the world this time? When you return to Qingqiu, when you return to what your elders said, do you want to count down my romantic affairs in the mortal world?"

Ah Jiu was speechless, looking at the snow-white back that disappeared outside the door, the light in her eyes became brighter, two clusters of orange candles flickered quietly in her smiling eyes,

"Dead fox, the mouth is quite strict."

So you think this fox can't do anything about you?

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------

At night, Ah Jiu tossed and tossed all day, and went to sleep in the bedroom early, but the white fox squinted for a little while in the evening, and now lay on the bed tossing and turning, without any sleepiness.

He didn't eat much for dinner, but his chest was very congested, and he was panting sour. The white fox simply stopped lying down, got up in the dark, put on an unlined garment hastily, took a jar of green bamboo leaves, and went to the gazebo in the backyard alone.

The night breeze was slightly cool, bringing the cold spring air against Mao's skin, the white fox couldn't help shivering, and raised his hand to tighten the collar of his clothes.He raised his eyes, and there seemed to be thin frost flying in the sky, the moonlight was shining, reflecting the silver light all over the sky, and the frost flowers were shining like stars, spreading and floating in the ink-like sky.

The brilliance is as clear as snow, clearing away the clouds and mist, and the Chang Geng star is shimmering, snuggling quietly beside the full moon.

The white fox stared at it in a daze, thinking that it would be great if the scholar could see such a beautiful scene.

He smiled to himself, poured another glass of wine, raised his head and drank it down, his lower abdomen was burning hot, and there was a faint throbbing pain.

The white fox suddenly clenched the white jade cup in his hand, frowning slightly, his complexion became more fragile and pale under the clear light.

"Who!?" The white fox looked up at a swaying bamboo shadow in the corridor, his gaze was cold.

After the rustling noise, a thin figure staggered out from behind the bamboo, and the white fox stood up slowly supporting the stone table, frowning slightly.

The night was dark and the moonlight was hazy, but if his eyes were correct, who else could that person besides Liu Zigu be who was so drunk that he couldn't tell north from south?

What is he doing here in the middle of the night?Could it be that he has the ability of a prophet to know that he is back?

But how did he get in, over the wall?

The white fox didn't think much of it, and walked out of the gazebo quickly, but before he got to the man, he was stunned.He hurriedly turned around, closed his eyes and recited the mantra, and transformed into an old man with a face full of dimples and a broom in his hand.

"Young master, it's getting late at night, why don't you go back home, but come to this uninhabited house alone?"

The white fox turned into an old man and tremblingly supported Liu Zigu's arms, who would have expected that person to fall into his arms, the strong smell of alcohol lingering on the tip of his nose, making his chest a little nauseous, the white fox secretly groaned in his heart, Right now, he has to leave this person alone.

Liu Zigu raised his eyelids, looked suspiciously at the "old man" beside him, "Who are you... hiccup! I've never seen you before..."

Baihu didn't answer, and took the best effort to drive the scholar to sit in the pavilion, poured another cup of hot tea, and put it in front of Liu Zigu, hoping that the scholar could sober up quickly and go back to his home.

But seeing the scholar drank cup after cup of tea, he didn't have any intention of leaving, and he kindly took Baihu's hand and called, "Master."

The fox looked at the drunken man with cold eyes, and said that my age is more than enough to be your grandfather. He took off his coat and put it on the scholar's shoulders. Seeing that the man was already drunk and unconscious, he simply changed back to his original appearance , allowing the scholar to hold his hand and chatter in sleep.

Frost flowers brought by the cold wind fluttered on his face, and the coolness entered his throat. The fox pursed his lips tightly and choked out a few muffled coughs. Leaning side by side, I don't know how much wine Liu Zigu drank, his body was as hot as a stove, Bai Huxu leaned on the man's shoulder, his body warmed up a lot, his eyebrows and eyes were stretched quietly, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously Slight arc.

"Zigu, how are you doing these days?"

The weak voice was blown away in the wind, like ice flakes falling on the lake, fleeting.Baihu didn't expect the scholar to answer, he raised his hand and brushed the man's messy hair, thinking that he should be sent home, if Axiu found out that he hadn't returned all night, he didn't know how worried he would be.

He held up the scholar's arms, but before he got up, something fell from Liu Zigu's cuff to the ground with a "slap".The fox was stunned for a moment, then bent down to pick up the thing.

It was a folding fan, but there was nothing painted on the fan. The white fox frowned, and his fingertips went down along the smooth fan bone, but his hand paused. The white fox stared at it under the moonlight, and a line of small characters was engraved on the dark color. On the fan bone, the handwriting is neat and neat, agile and flowing, and it can be seen that it was written by a woman.

"I would like to paint with you and live up to my youthful heart—your wife, Axiu."

Baihu thought to himself, this must be some kind of little love between husband and wife, it's okay to draw a picture of a fan, mention a poem, and it can further promote the relationship between each other.

He folded the fan in silence, then put it back into the scholar's sleeve in silence, and said indifferently: "Be sure to put it away, don't drop it again."

"This fan...I don't want to draw..."

The white fox was stunned for a moment, but saw that the scholar was pulling on his cuff, his eyes locked on him with sparkling eyes, and he was not even half drunk.

He was startled, and before he could hide himself, he heard the man say again: "In this world, the only person I want to draw a folding fan with is you, Xiulang..."

Before the scholar could finish his sentence, he was hit on the back of the neck by a hand blade, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

The cold wind blew over his hot cheeks. The white fox supported the edge of the table and slowly sat back on the stone bench. His feet were a little weak. He raised his hand to the position of his heart, as if he had buried a small drumstick under his hand, and his palm was numb and numb from the beating. itch.

Looking at Liu Zigu's peaceful sleeping face, the white fox frowned deeply, his dark eyes flickered, as if countless sleepless nights were buried.

The next day, the white fox with two dark circles under his eyes was unceremoniously lifted up from the bed by Ah Jiu. Before he could stand on his feet, a burst of sour water gushed from his throat.

Looking at the back of the white fox staggering out of the door, Ah Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and followed out suspiciously.

The fox outside had already finished vomiting, leaning against the colonnade to pant slightly, his face was slightly flushed, and he didn't look very comfortable.

Ah Jiu stepped forward and patted the man's back lightly, with a trace of alcohol lingering in his nose
