[Rebirth] Talking Fox

You Qing and Bai Li asked all the way and headed towards the capital.You Qing has never been to the capital, so he doesn't know the way, and although Bai Li has been there with You Qing all his life, now he can't say that he knows it, so he can only pretend to be confused.

The time for the test will be in the spring of the next year, and they only need to arrive in the capital before the end of the year, and they leave early, so they don't have to rush at all, so this trip is quite leisurely and unhurried.

Along the way, the two got closer and closer. Occasionally encountering rain, wind or other conditions, it is very common to hold hands and shoulders. You Qing himself did not feel that something was wrong at all, and he always looked indifferent. , but Bai Li, following the beating of his heart out of control again and again, every time he laughed like a large group of hibiscus blooming under the sunny light, so beautiful and incomparable.

Although Bai Li is nominally You Qing's book boy, You Qing has never been harsh on him, and even subconsciously, because of his slender waist and small face, he has developed a kind of pampering and loving mentality. Considering that he can't be allowed to endure hardships with him, he never casually muddles things along.

When walking on the road and it is too late to stay in a hotel, he will try his best to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain for the night. You Qing does not know that Bai Li is very used to life in the wild, and he is afraid that he will not sleep well at night, so he will always find a way to find hay for him. One thick layer, the two hugged each other to make ends meet for the night, then continued on their way during the day, and then found an inn to rest when they entered the city.

The silver he brought was saved by You Qing over the years. Although he was not rich, it was enough. He couldn't afford a room, but he could live in a moderate room with acceptable conditions. In addition, the two of them used to live in the same room and sleep on the same bed. Shop, save a lot of extra costs.

Bai Li has been with You Qing for a long time, everything else is fine, but the same thing makes him more and more uncomfortable, it's a bit embarrassing to say it, but it's normal.

He is a fox. A fox loves chicken by nature. After all, it is a carnivore. Even if there is no chicken, it is not bad to use pork as a supplement. As long as there are big pieces for him to eat and satisfy his hunger, he feels comfortable. Unfortunately, he occasionally sells them when he is out. Selling calligraphy and painting or writing letters for others can't make much money, and the money in my pocket for staying in hotels is also decreasing day by day, and I have to save a part of it for the return trip.In this way, eating meat has become a pipe dream.

At home, there were basically no large pieces of chicken legs for him to gnaw on to satisfy his hunger. The neighbors raised chickens to save some eggs for their own food or sell them in the market. It was absolutely impossible to slaughter those chickens. Come to make soup.However, there are also some villagers in the village who are very capable. Occasionally they will go hunting in the mountains, and when they come back with a strong prey, they will be punished everywhere. Naturally, a part of You Qing's family is indispensable.

Although You Qing doesn't have hunting skills, but after all, he can take care of himself since he was a child.There are ditches and streams there, and Bai Li was dumbfounded when he was able to do such things as harpooning fish with ease, so there would occasionally be delicious fish meat and fish soup on the table for him to drool over.

After all, he was greedy and stayed under You Qing's eyes all day long, not even having the chance to sneak out to steal meat. He wanted to go out at night while he fell asleep, but unfortunately he couldn't hold on every time. Live first and fall asleep.

You Qingqing is used to being poor, and he doesn't pay much attention to food, but occasionally he will order some meaty dishes to appease Bai Li's appetite, which is completely acceptable to ordinary people, but Bai Li is not an ordinary person. Even if he is not human, he ate a few meals of shredded pork and sliced ​​meat for several months, and he was so widowed that he screamed, but he was embarrassed to say it, which made his expression behind his back more and more aggrieved and mournful day by day.

It was late autumn and the weather was getting colder and colder. You Qing had already taken out thick clothes and wrapped them around him and Bai Li, which reduced the luggage a lot.There was a bleak cold wind along the way, and the withered and yellow leaves all over the ground had long since disappeared, leaving only bare tree branches.

Stepping on the silence of the ground, under the pale sunlight, the two entered Linyang City in a hurry.When we arrived at Linyang City, we had passed more than half of the journey, and we were not far from the capital.

Finding a clean and tidy inn at a moderate price, You Qing saw that Linyang City was very prosperous, so after calculating the days, he decided to stay for two more days and take a rest, and by the way, he took Bai Li to stroll around here, and sold two more Calligraphy and painting.Bai Li was overjoyed when he heard it, and he held his hand and smiled broadly.

You Qing took out a hand and touched his head, with a doting smile in his eyes: "The past two days have been extravagant, what do you want to eat? Chicken, duck, goose, or pork, Beef? Or fish?"

Bai Li fanned his eyelashes and blinked at him, the luster in his eyes revealed a bit of guilt, he always felt that he had seen through his thoughts for the past few days.

You Qing smiled deeper: "What's wrong?"

Bai Li shook his head hastily: "No need, it's fine as usual, we can't waste money in vain."

You Qing opened the window and looked outside, then pulled him to his side: "I think there are so many people here that they are doing well, and the rich and powerful may not be able to appreciate the calligraphy and painting of me, an unknown person. , but people who have a small surplus will always want to buy two and go back to decorate them. If you stay here for two more days, you can earn more in seven or eight."

After hearing this, Bai Li's eyes lit up a little, and he cheered up and said, "Okay! Then draw a few more pictures and sell them!"

You Qing looked at him helplessly: "You don't understand what I mean?"

"Aren't you talking about selling calligraphy and painting?" Bai Li looked puzzled.

"The implication is that it doesn't matter if you spend more money, you can earn it back." You Qing suppressed a smile, "What do you want to eat?"

"..." Bai Li didn't expect the same problem after going around for a long time, his face was a little red, and his eyes wandered around the room uncomfortably, "I'll just do whatever I want..."

You Qing laughed softly and nodded: "Follow me down to have a look, if there is roast chicken, how about ordering one?"

Bai Li's jet-black eyes flickered immediately, and he quickly lowered his eyelashes and secretly swallowed. He wanted to speak but was worried about being choked by the wanton saliva. He felt that he was really ashamed, so he nodded silently. A look of guilt.

Up to now, he has paid You Qing for his basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, but he has not received half of it, so he can only secretly comfort himself, and bring You Qing back to him in the future, and he must have someone take good care of him and make up for it.

You Qing saw that he was looking like a ghost, so he directly took his hand and walked out, saying as he walked: "Silver is a possession outside the body, and it will come again after going. Just tell me what you want to eat in the future. Don't be bored." heart."

"Ah?" Bai Li was taken aback and stopped, "Ah Qing, how did you know?!"

"I heard you talking in your sleep last night." You Qing looked back at him with a narrow smile, and then sighed with guilt, "I was negligent."

Bai Li was embarrassed, his fair face flushed red all of a sudden: "I..."

You Qing looked at the halo on his cheeks, like a little red on the tip of a snow-colored lotus, his breathing froze for a moment, he opened his mouth, but didn't know what he wanted to say, and raised his hand to cover it, pointing The sharp and dense threads touched the delicate skin on the cheek, inexplicably arousing a small electric current, which shocked both of them.

After being stunned, You Qing quickly turned around, retracted his hand, and smiled: "Let's go." Then he pulled him out of the room, turned around and closed the door.

When I got downstairs, I chose a secluded place, asked the waiter, and ordered a plate of roast chicken, and ordered two other light dishes, which seemed normal to others, but to the two of them, it was very pleasant. luxury.

You Qing didn't have any reluctance, but it made Bai Li feel bad, but he couldn't help drooling over the chicken legs, and the contradictory and complicated thoughts of gluttony, guilt and distress tortured his heart enough.

You Qing tore a piece of golden chicken leg and put it in his bowl, with an unusually gentle voice: "Eat quickly."

Bai Li glanced at him, quickly tore the other one and put it in his bowl, turned his gaze back to his own bowl, only felt the fragrance was tangy, thinking that Ah Qing had already made a joke of it anyway, there was nothing to be ashamed of, and comforted himself After a while, I picked up the chicken leg and took a small bite. I didn't expect the meat to be unusually tender, with a good taste and taste, and I squinted my eyes in satisfaction.

You Qing has been watching him eat, seeing him like this can't help but smile.

Bai Li glanced at him and saw the smile on his lips. He suddenly felt that the winter was much warmer. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed again: "Ah Qing, you can eat too!"

"Yeah." You Qing liked light food in the first place, so he nodded and picked up his chopsticks to eat some vegetables casually, and finally sent the chicken leg in his bowl to his bowl.

Bai Li forgot his shape while eating, although he looked very refined, but the chicken was really fat and oily, and his mouth was full of glisten by the time he finished eating it.

You Qing held back a smile and wiped the corner of his mouth with a towel. Seeing that he was completely relaxed, his head seemed to be unsteady. Following the strength in his hand, he tilted back and forth, so he had no choice but to lift the other hand. Hold his head with your hands to keep him still, and then wipe him clean.

Bai Li ate and drank enough, patted his chubby stomach, and kept smiling at You Qing, and when he returned to his room, he was in a state of drowsiness.

You Qing knew that he would always feel sleepy after eating a full meal, but he didn't expect to be so sleepy today. If he didn't know it, he thought he was drunk. Presumably this meal was so satisfying?It seems that this fool loves chicken very much.

Bai Li took off his outer shirt with staring eyes, and crawled on the bed in a daze to lie down. After lying down for a while, he leaned over and rested his chin on the edge of the bed, looked at You Qing's profile writing at the table, scratched his head and asked, "Ah Qing , What did I say in my dream last night?"

You Qing glanced at him, put down his pen, walked over to sit down, moved him back to the pillow, pulled the quilt over him, and answered his question after a long time: "You didn't talk in your sleep."

"Ah?" Bai Li was a little sober, with a confused look on his face.

You Qing was full of smiles: "I saw you swallowing the chicken legs in other people's mouths."

"..." Bai Li blinked his eyelashes twice, and after a moment of silence, he pulled the quilt over to cover his blushing face.

Whoops, what a shame!
