[Rebirth] Talking Fox

There was the sound of gurgling water in his ears, which could not be discerned clearly. In a daze, You Qing opened his eyes, but his sight was blocked by a mist. For some reason, there was an inexplicable irritability in his heart, as if there was a faint anger He wanted to vent, but he didn't know what he was angry about.

He raised his hand to clear away the fog in front of him, took two steps forward, and fell into a vast white world again, closed his eyes and listened carefully, and a man's elegant whisper came faintly: "Little thing, I don't know you and him." Can Ri remember me, but it doesn't matter if I don't remember, if I can escape, I will definitely come to you."

A whimpering sound sounded, like an extremely wronged animal acting like a baby to its owner.The elegant voice laughed, with a hint of doting, but it gradually turned cold after laughing for a while, and seemed to say something, but it couldn't be heard anyway.

You Qing felt a little dizzy, and walked step by step following the sound, his feet were as soft as falling into the clouds.Gradually, the mist became thinner, and a quiet fragrance of flowers could be smelled at the end of the nose. A dazzling white light suddenly appeared in the blurred vision, and then the world began to spin.

The feeling of spinning is very real. You Qing just felt that the whole world is full of flowers, so he calmed down and saw a huge plum blossom suddenly appearing in front of him. The five petals slowly rotated, getting bigger and faster. .

The fragrance of flowers swept in like a raging wind, and the thoughts in my heart were chaotic. Before, I was able to think for a while, but in the blink of an eye, I felt like I lost my mind.

The sound of whimpering in his ears gradually drifted away, the white mist in front of him became thicker and thicker, and the chaotic petals around him were like a whirlpool in the depths of a pool, pulling him down fiercely.

.

"Ah Qing! Ah Qing!" When Bai Li woke up, he saw beads of sweat oozing from You Qing's forehead, and his brows were furrowed, but he couldn't wake up. He didn't know if he had passed typhoid fever to him, so he was terrified. light.

He struggled to get out of the quilt, stretched out a hand and touched his forehead, it didn't feel hot, and he didn't know if it was really not hot or his palm was already very hot, so he couldn't help being anxious: "Ah Qing! Wake up!"

You Qing was shaken a few times by him, his black eyelashes moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?!" Bai Li was overwhelmed with surprise, and was about to lean over to speak, but was suddenly startled by his cold eyes, blinking and looking at him cautiously, "Ah Qing...what's wrong with you? "

You Qing didn't seem to hear his words, and stared straight at the top of the tent. After a while, the heavy color in his eyes gradually faded, and his eyes became clear again. Zhong woke up a little bit, and looked to the side suspiciously: "Ali, did you call me?"

Seeing his normal expression, Bai Li hurriedly nodded and moved over: "Ah Qing, what happened to you just now?"

You Qing froze for a moment, sat up and rubbed his forehead, thought for a while and sighed softly: "I don't know why, it seems like I had a nightmare, but I can't remember it."

"Really?!" Bai Li's eyes lit up.

You Qing glanced at his expression, was a little speechless, and said with a smile: "I'm having a nightmare but you're so happy?".

Bai Li retracted from the quilt, and said with a smile: "I still think that I passed the typhoid fever to you, it's fine if I don't!"

You Qing smiled, and raised his hand to caress his forehead. Seeing him squinting his eyes in enjoyment, he couldn't help but deepen his smile: "I still need to stay in bed today, so I will be more careful if I cover it again."

"Yeah." Bai Li nodded with a smile. Seeing him getting out of bed and getting dressed, he felt a little bit reluctant, "Ah Qing, I want to accompany you to see the county magistrate."

You Qing turned his head and glanced at him: "Nonsense!".

Bai Li hummed unconvinced: "Then when will you come back?"

"The county magistrate said he invited me to come over before noon, and I'm sure I'll be back after lunch." You Qing walked to the bed, pulled his arm out of his sleeve, and touched it, "I'll wipe it for you later. Khan, I will prepare lunch for you, and you should wear more when you get up."

Bai Li's face was a little hot, and he hid under the quilt and tightly grasped the arm he touched, thinking that he was his school boy but he had to take care of him in turn. Blinking at him: "I can do it myself, I have already learned..."

"I know you will, and we'll talk about it when you're better." You Qing smiled and tucked him in the quilt, then turned to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.Then he wiped his face and decocted medicine as he did the day before, taking care of him meticulously.

Seeing that he treats her so well, Bai Li's heart is so sweet that it seems to be full of honey, but she also becomes more and more dissatisfied. She doesn't know when he will fall in love with her, and she can't wait to see her.

The result of wild thinking was that he couldn't control his emotions. When You Qing helped him sit up again and unbuttoned his skirt, Bai Li's mind was so confused that he turned around abruptly and hugged him without saying a word.

.

You Qing was stunned by him, suddenly didn't know where to put his hands, lowered his eyelashes and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Bai Li rubbed against his shoulder, feeling a bit sore at the end of his nose: "Ah Qing, you are so kind to me!".

You Qing couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and didn't respond to his words. He just raised his hand and touched his head, took a wrung handkerchief and wiped it on his back...

Seeing that he was not disgusted, Bai Li was overjoyed, and hugged his hands a little tighter without any trace.

While wiping, You Qing suddenly thought of the imprint of the plum blossom that he saw yesterday. His hands paused, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart again, but this emotion was fleeting, like the breeze blowing willows. Like, you can't catch it or keep it.

Seeing that the scarf on his back suddenly stopped moving, Bai Li raised his head in doubt after waiting for a while: "Ah Qing?"

"Huh?" You Qing came back to his senses, looked down at him, and saw his moist eyes fixed on himself, as if nothing around him could enter these eyes except himself, his heart trembled inexplicably .

Bai Li still looked confused: "Why don't you wipe it?"

You Qing suddenly felt that his breathing was a little heavy, and his eyes fell on his slightly dry and pale lips uncontrollably, and then he raised his eyes to meet his moist but clear eyes, suddenly sobered up, shook his head with a smile, and continued to give He wiped it up: "Nothing."

After tidying up everything, You Qing asked Bai Li not to come out to blow the wind, and saw him nodding obediently before going out to the county magistrate's house.

Bai Li originally wanted to hide his body and follow behind secretly, but after much deliberation, he decided that it would be better not to take this risk. If he really caught a cold and the typhoid fever worsened, You Qing would definitely blame himself for being disobedient and coming and going He hesitated for a long time, and finally resigned himself to lying down in bed.

The county magistrate's surname is Chen, he is nearly forty years old, with average facial features, but his figure is somewhat ugly, with a big belly, and he walks with a heavy noise. The beard also trembled leisurely, very hot.

This is also the first time You Qing saw the county magistrate. Although he doesn't like to judge people by appearance, he still feels a little uncomfortable looking at his swollen face, so he slightly looked away, took out a scroll from his sleeve, and said in a warm voice: " Xiaosheng met the adults, came in a hurry and didn't have anything at home, so he had to draw a picture of mountains and rivers by himself, to express his feelings, and hope that the adults would not dislike him."

The county magistrate laughed loudly, and quickly took the scroll: "What is your nephew talking about? I have heard that you are so good. I can't wait for you to ask, so why would you dislike me? Hurry up, come in and sit down!" You Qing entered the table, then lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down on the stool next to him.

Seeing that the county magistrate was too enthusiastic towards him, You Qing couldn't help feeling suspicious, and looked at him calmly.

The county magistrate seemed to be very happy, and with a red face, he ordered the servants behind him to serve vegetables, and said to You Qing with emotion: "My nephew won the Juren, but he won a lot of face for our poor village!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your blessings."

"Hahaha! I don't know what your nephew is going to do next? But you want to take part in the examination?"

"Exactly."

"Not bad! The young talents are really amazing!"

"..." You Qing smiled, really not knowing how to deal with such meaningless words.

The county magistrate didn't care about his silence, and raised his voice, "Serve the wine!"

.

There was a soft ringing ring, a fragrant wind, and the sound of footsteps coming from behind the door curtain, followed by a soft voice: "Father."

The county magistrate turned his head and waved cheerfully: "Daughter, come and meet Young Master You!"

Chen Susu walked up to You Qing's side in small steps, gently placed the jug on the table, and bowed affectionately to him: "Susu has met Mr. You!"

You Qing quickly stood up and stepped aside: "Miss Chen, you're welcome!" When she raised her head, she was stunned.

This Chen Susu is none other than the girl who bought calligraphy and paintings at the market the day before yesterday.

You Qing is not a fool, if he was in the past, he might still not understand the current situation, but since the last time the matchmaker talked about the marriage, he has more or less understood.At this time, although he was not [-]% sure of the county magistrate's intentions, he was [-]% sure about it.

The county magistrate beckoned him to sit down again, asked Chen Susu to pour wine for them, and then let her sit on the stool beside You Qing.

There was a sudden coldness in You Qing's eyes, and he didn't want to stay for a moment, but because of his status, he had to sit patiently.

The county magistrate greeted him for drinks and food, chatted with him for a while with a smile on his face, and then went straight to the point: "My nephew has extraordinary appearance and outstanding knowledge, but he is still alone. It's a pity... I don't know if my nephew has thought about when to marry wife?"

You Qing was a little impatient in his heart, but he still smiled on his face, and said two words lightly: "No."

"Hahahaha! It's a good thing for a man to be ambitious, but to start a family and start a career, one of the two is indispensable!"

You Qing smiled slightly, but didn't speak.

The county magistrate wiped his beard on the right side: "My nephew said so, that is a woman who has not yet liked it? Why don't I betroth the little girl to you?"

Chen Susu's cheeks were slightly red, and she glanced at You Qing.

You Qing said with a smile: "Xiaosheng's family is poor, so he dare not climb high."

"Ah... what are you talking about! Family status is something outside of one's body, my nephew is a dragon and a phoenix, I don't feel wronged at all when my daughter marries you!"

You Qing felt a bit of a headache, after all, he didn't like flirting with others, and felt impatient for a while, and his tone could not help but remain a little blunt: "Xiaosheng has never considered marriage, please take back your kindness."

Chen Susu's smile froze.

The county magistrate's complexion suddenly turned ugly, he was silent for a moment, and laughed again: "Daughter, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and pour wine and vegetables for Mr. You?"

.

Serving wine...cloth?

You Qing's forehead was throbbing with blue veins. Seeing that Chen Susu was really picking up food for him with chopsticks after pouring the wine, and she was holding her own chopsticks, his face changed immediately, and he quickly raised his hand to block her movement, and said indifferently: "Young girl is not like this!" You're welcome, Xiaosheng will come by himself."

Chen Susu's complexion became even more ugly, and her chopsticks froze in mid-air, unable to advance or retreat.

The county magistrate looked at this scene and felt a little angry. He didn't care for this poor man to be his son-in-law. Pulling You Qing's hand away with temper, he said earnestly: "Nephew, you are so out of touch!"

It took only a moment for Chen Susu's hand to be blocked, and it was embarrassing when he retracted it. Seeing You Qing's hand moved away, he took the opportunity to put the food into his bowl, and glanced at him: "Mr. You is really polite." .”

You Qing stared blankly at the extra dishes in his bowl, and finally lost his appetite, stood up and said to the county magistrate, "Xiaosheng has something to do at home, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time, I hope you will allow Xiaosheng to leave first."

The county magistrate had seen all of his expressions just now, and now he heard his unceremonious words, his face turned dark immediately, his originally small eyes narrowed slightly, and he stopped calling his nephew: "Young Master You, what do you mean?"

"Xiaosheng has no other intentions. It is true that there is something at home." You Qing cupped his hands again, "Xiaosheng resigns." Then he turned and walked towards the door.

The county magistrate looked at his straight back with a gloomy expression: "Stop!"
