[Rebirth] Talking Fox

Bai Li stood beside the well in the yard, with the bluestone path leading to the main house at his feet. He was wearing a washed-up white shabby blue shirt, and his silver-white hair had long since faded into ink, so quietly. Standing there looking at You Qing, with his back to the setting sun, he was covered in golden velvet.

The position he was standing at this time was slightly against the light, and You Qing couldn't see his expression clearly. Although he felt that this appearance seemed to be worse than his own, he still vaguely felt that this person's temperament was a bit good. Facing this unknown The uninvited guest who came out of nowhere couldn't help but feel puzzled, he was stunned for a while and said softly: "You are..."

Seeing that the person on the opposite side didn't move or make a sound, You Qing frowned slightly, raised his legs and walked over, when the two were getting closer, he suddenly froze at the tears that quietly rolled down the corners of Bai Li's eyes.

Before Bai Li came, he made a lot of calculations. First, he asked Xiaohe to block You Qing's marriage, and then he changed into a worn-out clothes to look pitiful, and then pretended to be a desperate stranger seeking accommodation here. Take the opportunity to get along, and then slowly express your feelings in the future.

Who would have thought that the first time he saw You Qing, he would be completely lost as if he didn't know how to react.

You Qing has been reincarnated nine times. Although they all have similar appearances, they are still somewhat different. Now, after a thousand years, seeing his gentle eyebrows and eyes when he was a scholar again, Bai Li suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. There was another chance, but all the pain of the millennium still surged up uncontrollably, intertwined with the ecstasy of seeing each other again, and the complicated feelings in my heart could not be described in words.

Seeing this man standing in his yard without saying a word and crying, You Qing was very puzzled. He was stunned for a while, then raised his leg and walked a few steps closer, looked at him and said, "Brother, why are you here?" In my yard? Did I go to the wrong place?"

Bai Li opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, the tears flowed even more fiercely.

You Qing was a little dazed by his posture, followed the tear stains on his face and moved his gaze upwards, seeing his misty pupils, slightly slanted corners of his eyes, and the sadness in his expression, his heartstrings suddenly lightened Trembling for a while, there was a faint feeling of deja vu, but after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't remember when I had seen such a person.

The two stared at each other for a while, one was panicked and at a loss, tears fell like money, the other frowned and thought, inexplicable, really felt that there were more strange things today.

In the end, You Qing came back to his senses first, looked at the worn clothes on his body, and asked again in a good temper: "Who are you? Why are you in my yard? What's the matter?"

Bai Li's mouth moved: "I..."

When You Qing heard him utter a word hoarsely, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, it turned out he wasn't dumb.

Bai Li paused after saying a word. He wanted to say too much but didn't know where to start. He really wanted to go up and grab his hand, but he felt that it was too abrupt. I don't know how to answer his words.

You Qing waited patiently for a while, seeing that he still didn't speak, he thought to himself that this person doesn't answer every question, but he is not dumb, could he be a fool?

At first, I thought that this person was looking for something to do with me, but now that I made such a guess, I felt that it had nothing to do with me, so I stopped asking, glanced at him, turned and walked into the room.

Bai Li suppressed his tears, and the turmoil in his heart subsided for the most part. Seeing that he ignored him and entered the room, he immediately became depressed, and couldn't help but secretly annoyed himself. He clearly felt that after a thousand years, he should have behaved indifferently. But somehow things came to a head and completely messed up.

Looking at the half-closed door, Bai Li turned around four or five times in a hurry, looked up again, the door was still half-closed, and scratched his head on the spot for nearly half an hour. When it was dark, he still didn't know what to do to let You Qing know himself, so he couldn't help being a little discouraged, squatting down on the edge of the well with his head down, staring at his own reflection in the well water in a daze with a depressed face.

When the sun was completely gone, the shadows in the well water became indistinct. Bai Li buried his head in the ground digging mud for a while in distress. Just as he was digging vigorously, a pair of ordinary cloth shoes that were mostly covered by the hem of his gown suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was so engrossed in thinking about things just now that he didn't notice the sounds around him at all. When he saw such a pair of feet suddenly appearing in front of him, he was terrified. Ji Ling sat down on the ground and looked up at the people who came .

Just as You Qing was about to ask a question, he saw him fall suddenly, then raised his face and looked at him desperately, the sadness on his face disappeared like a hallucination, and his slightly dilated pupils seemed to be somewhat revealing Chunzhen, squatting there like a small animal, couldn't help being stunned again.

Xin Dao may be a fool. Although he looks a few years younger than himself, he is no longer a child after all. His eyes seem to be untouched by the world. Only immature fools can be like this Bar?Since he is a fool, I'm afraid he won't be able to ask anything, so let him go.

Thinking about it this way, You Qing turned his gaze away, took down the ladle that was hollowed out to make a bucket from the side shelf, stooped down to fetch a ladle of water from the well, brought it to the kitchen and poured it into the pot, Then he came back and fetched a ladle of water and carried it in. When he came out again, his eyes suddenly flashed.

Bai Li suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran to him, enthusiastically said: "I'll fetch water for you!" Then he grabbed the bucket in his hand and walked to the well, imitating his previous way to pull the rope When it was loose, it shook again, and after a while, the rope was pulled up little by little. Looking at the swaying water in the ladle, I couldn't help but feel happy, and turned around happily holding it.

You Qing stared in astonishment for a long time watching his series of movements with his mouth slightly open, and saw that when he came over, he splashed water all over the ground, even his clothes were wet, and when he walked in front of him, he bowed his head and gave a sigh of relief. Look, there is not much water left in the ladle, so the corner of his mouth twitched, he raised his hand to stop him, took the ladle in his hand, and said in a warm voice: "There is no need to fetch water, there is enough in the pot."

Bai Li's eyes darkened, and he looked at him in a daze.

You Qing suddenly felt like laughing, couldn't help the corners of his lips curved slightly, looked at him intently and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I..." Of course I want you to know me!After uttering a word, Bai Li fell silent, cast a gloomy glance at him, and shook his head.Sigh... If I tell the truth, you will definitely not believe it. It's better to get along with you slowly, but I don't know how to have the opportunity to get along with you slowly... What kind of idea did you think when you came here? Confused?

Seeing that he was stupid and still couldn't ask anything, You Qing didn't ask any more questions, passed him and hung the water ladle on the shelf again, turned around and walked into the kitchen to scoop up half a spoonful of rice and prepared to go to the stream at the door of the house to wash the rice. He raised his eyes and looked outside, and saw that the man squatted on the ground again for some reason, sighed, turned around and scooped up half a spoonful, and then went out.

Seeing him go out, Bai Li raised his heels without thinking, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly run away and disappear.You Qing looked back at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, so he pretended he hadn't seen him, and calmly washed the rice, then went back and poured it into the pot and started cooking.

After cooking for a while, he stood up from behind the stove, opened the pot and chopped up the vegetables that had been washed during the day and added them in.By the time the green vegetable porridge was cooked and fragrant, it was completely dark, so he came out and dusted himself, and lit the oil lamp in the dim light before washing his hands and preparing to eat.

After washing his hands, he went to the man squatting on the ground who was messing with something. Seeing that he looked up at him again, he could see that he still had the eyes of a small animal in the light of the moonlight, and he couldn't help but want to laugh again. After that, he slowly squatted down and looked at him at the same level, and said softly, "Do you have dinner?"

Bai Li's mind has been confused ever since he met him, and when he suddenly heard such an easy-to-answer question, his eyes lit up, he shook his head quickly, and adjusted his expression to be as pitiful as possible: "No... ..."

You Qing felt that if this person was shrunk down to the size of a child, he would definitely be his childhood self, but at that time, he might not have such clear eyes, so he couldn't help sighing softly: "Come in and eat. "Speaking, he stood up, stepped over the low threshold and walked into the kitchen.

Bai Li immediately jumped up from the ground, and ran in excitedly, but You Qing stopped, but he didn't notice to stop in time, and bumped into the back of his head.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry... I was not careful..."

You Qing hurriedly stood on his feet and turned around. Seeing him touching his forehead and looking at him with a helpless face, he faintly felt that the back of his head also hurt a little, and he suddenly felt powerless.

The two stared at each other at such a close distance, You Qing realized that this man was not small, only half a head shorter than himself, but he still couldn't help feeling that he looked like a child or a small bird. The animal couldn't help sighing again: "Oh...you're really a fool, the frizzy..."

"Ah?" Bai Li was stunned, watching him turn around to lift the lid of the pot, serve the porridge, and set the bowls and chopsticks with a dull expression. It wasn't until he sat on the stool and looked back at himself that he realized what he was talking about, and suddenly became anxious. Sitting next to him, he said seriously, "I'm not a fool!"

You Qing smiled slightly, pointed to the stool next to him, and said with a gentle expression, "Sit over there."

Bai Li obediently moved over there and sat down, and continued to look at him seriously: "I'm really not a fool!"

You Qing suddenly felt it was funny, and just said: "Eat." He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate on his own.

"I'm really not a fool..." You Qing picked up the chopsticks with a gloomy expression, glanced at him, and emphasized again, "I'm not a fool..." Seeing that he ignored him, he felt bored He picked up the bowl resignedly.

"and many more."

"Ah?" You Qing looked up at him.

"Go wash your hands."

"Oh..." You Qing put down the bowl and chopsticks again, obediently went outside to wash his hands before coming in.

This meal was a rare harmony, You Qing was cold-tempered and used to being indifferent, so he didn't feel uncomfortable when there was another person on the table whom he didn't dislike. It was because Bai Li was too familiar with him, Sitting and eating together at this time did not feel strange at all, but because it was the first time eating at the same table in a thousand years, my nose was sour and tears almost fell into the bowl.

The two finished their dinner quietly, while Bai Li rushed to wash the dishes.You Qing thought of most of the water that was thrown away earlier, and flatly rejected his kindness.

Bai Li followed him like an idiot and watched him tidy up the kitchen, still thinking about what happened before the meal. When he was done tidying up, he turned to him and emphasized loudly again: "I'm really not a fool!"

You Qing felt helpless: "I see, you are not a fool."

Although the mud in Bai Li's mind hasn't been cleared yet, he's not stupid after all, he couldn't tell that he was fooling himself, so he couldn't help becoming more anxious, thinking that if You Qing thought he was a fool, he would definitely not like him. He quickly grabbed his arm to prevent him from leaving: "You don't believe it! Why don't you believe it? I'm really not a fool!"

You Qing looked at him dumbfounded: "Then what's your name?"

"Bai Li!"

"..." There is even a name?You Qing was stunned for a moment, surprised by his unhesitating answer, thought for a while and then asked, "Then where do you live?"

Bai Li almost blurted out "on the top of the smoky mountain", fortunately he bit his lip and swallowed the words in time, but he has never been to any place other than following You Qing for thousands of years, and he has never paid attention to any place names in his mind except for You Qing , the only thing that can be said is a mountain of smoke. I really don't know how to answer this question at this moment. I blinked for a long time and raised my hand and pointed in a random direction: "Then...there..."

You Qing finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and broke away the hand that was holding his arm: "Okay, I'm going into the house to read a book, if you really can't find anything to eat, just come back tomorrow." Regardless of him, he went straight to the main house holding the oil lamp.

Bai Li stood at the kitchen door and watched him walk into the main house, then looked back at the open kitchen door behind him, and knew that it was because his family was poor and had nothing to steal, and he was used to not closing the door at night, and when he thought about having such a simple dinner, his heart ached immediately stand up.

Feeling depressed, he squatted on the ground by the door for a while, Bai Li suddenly slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized that You Qing must be so good-tempered towards him because he thought he was a fool, if he knew that he was not a fool, he would still If you have nothing to eat, you will definitely think that you are lazy and lazy, and you will definitely dislike yourself even more!

Thinking about it this way, Bai Li finally broke out in a cold sweat and rejoiced that You Qing didn't believe his words just now.

Looking up at the light coming out of the window, my heart was very itchy, I really wanted to hide my body and stay beside You Qing, but I was really worried about what to do next, and finally squatted irritably for a long time, and decided to go back and look for it first. The elders in the clan asked for help, and let them advise themselves.

With a certain idea, Bai Li stood up and patted the dirt on his body, then hid in the dark and quickly disappeared.
