kill the fox

The two walked slowly towards Xuanquan, the embers of the setting sun on the edge of the sky slowly faded, the snow on the roadside had not completely melted, the wind was not strong, and there was a cool smell of snow.

When Ning Ci raised his head, he felt that all the stars in the sky seemed to be rushing towards him.

There are too many stars here, it is not good-looking, and it is not as bright as Xiaozhoushan.

"Have you been to Xiaozhou Mountain?"

Ning Ci looked at Shen Keqing, looked at it for a while, and said, "I've been there."

Shen Keqing walked very slowly, and Ning Ci felt that when he couldn't see his face clearly, he would inexplicably feel that he was actually an old friend, a strange, distant, old and familiar old friend.

Shen Keqing: "I heard it's pretty good... I want to go and see it in a few days."

Ning Ci suddenly remembered the master's phrase "strangle together", and slowly raised his head to look at Shen Keqing.

In the darkness, the two looked at each other.

Ning Ci pondered for a while, then said confusedly: "Why did you tell me? You can go if you want, and besides, who will take care of Xuanquan when you leave?"

Shen Keqing said in an unclear manner: "You are my bodyguard, shouldn't you protect me?"

Ning Ci forgot that there was still this problem, and his heart was in a mess, but Shen Keqing was very calm: "I just have this plan, I heard that there is a lot of spiritual energy, the scenery is good, and I only go for a few days, Xuanquan Zhiben will not return I take care of it."

"Oh, let's go then, I have no objection." Ning Ci responded indiscriminately, but he repeatedly recalled what the master said to him that day.

The two walked in the dark night without light, even if they were very close to each other, if they couldn't hear the footsteps, they still couldn't see the people around them.

Ning Ci started to worry again, wondering if Rongrong was really dead, if the dead world was as dark as it is now, he should be afraid.

What if Shen Keqing died in Xiaozhoushan?

Isn't this what he planned?

But Shen Keqing...was unconscious when controlled by the sword spirit?

But to shatter the sword spirit... how can an ordinary body withstand it?This is a matter of death or injury.

Ning Ci suddenly broke the silence: "By the way, I haven't asked clearly, what kind of demon are you?"

Shen Keqing: "Fox demon."

This was beyond Ning Ci's expectation, and she got stuck for a while, Shen Keqing smiled: "Why, isn't it like?"

Ning Ci had a flash of inspiration and felt that there was still a turning point in the matter: "Do you have nine lives?"

Shen Keqing: "Now there is only one left."

Ning Ci was slightly surprised: "Why is there only one left?!"

Shen Keqing said indifferently: "I liked playing more when I was young, and I lost all of it."

Ning Ci raised his head and glanced at the stars in confusion, feeling a little depressed suddenly.

Shen Keqing didn't want to end this topic, and asked: "Do you think I'm not like a fox demon?"

Ning Ci was thinking about life and death, so he responded casually: "It's not like."

Shen Keqing asked: "What's not like?"

Ning Ci said concisely: "I suddenly feel like you."

Shen Keqing: "Where does it look like?"

Ning Ci: "..."

Shen Keqing smiled: "You don't seem to be in a very good mood now."

Ning Ci's heart was in a mess: "Yes, I'm really in a bad mood." It's all because of you, you can still laugh.

Shen Keqing: "I'm in a good mood now."

"..."

Ning Ci suddenly wanted to grab him by the collar and beat him up, and then thought that the bodyguard beating his employer seemed unreasonable...

Shen Keqing smiled elegantly, knowing people's hearts: "I want to find someone to fight with now."

"..."

Ning Ci looked deeply at the people around him, without saying a word, Shen Keqing patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Do you want to fight?"

Ning Ci narrowed his eyes: "Hit." What should I do?This sense of familiarity is getting stronger and stronger.

The two had a hearty fight in the pitch black.

Can't see, can't see anything, the universe wraps them, everything wraps them, the past and the future wrap them, there are a lot of thinking, a lot of doubts, a lot of scruples, a lot of speculation, I don't think about it at this moment, I choose not to act at this moment , this moment is free.

Ning Ci was in a good mood after the fight, and put his arm around Shen Keqing's shoulder: "Let's go back to the bar and drink the kind that Jiang Linxian gave me that day."

Shen Keqing asked casually: "What's the difference between his wine and mine?"

Ning Ci: "His wine..." Suddenly remembered that Jiang Linxian had told him not to mention him in front of Shen Keqing, so he wanted to tell him that day that his memory was so bad, how could he remember it?So the topic changed: "By the way, what wine did we drink that night in Yuan Ye?"

Shen Keqing: "Snow soaked in plum blossoms."

Ning Ci was very happy: "Then let's drink this?"

Shen Keqing said strangely, "Not anymore."

Ning Ci rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, I've seen it all, the wine cellar is still full."

Shen Keqing was sure: "There is no more plum blossoms soaking in snow."

Ning Ci believed it was true: "Oh, then we can drink something else."

Shen Keqing said proudly, "No, I want to drink this kind of wine."

"..." Ning Ci smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go buy it, I invite you." Why do you think he is back to the little boy who wants to eat glutinous rice balls?

Shen Keqing: "I brew this wine myself, and you can't buy it outside."

Ning Ci: "Then what should I do?"

Shen Keqing sighed helplessly: "Hey, I can only steal it from Jiang Linxian."

"..." OK, I turned around and waited here.

Ning Ci laughed, feeling that there was a long way to go: "Who will go?"

Shen Keqing: "You go."

……

When the two returned to Jinxi Hexi, the night was already dark. Ning Ci was a thief for the first time, and he was a little guilty. There are people who steal alcohol.

Jiang Linxian was not there.

On the soft couch, there was a little monster wearing a bellyband jumping high, stepping on the soft pillow and having fun, Ning Ci recognized it at a glance, after all, he was doing things tonight and Hexi, and he was stupid and stupid alone one.

The little demon didn't see him until Ning Ci was about to leave with two jars of wine in his arms when he was hit by a soft pillow and shot to the ground, got up cursing from the ground, and when he raised his head, he met Ning Ci's gaze.

One person and one monster were silent for a second in tacit understanding.

Ning Ci was hesitant to say hello first, and the little demon asked, "Who are you? Oh, I've seen you before, what are you doing here?" His eyes fell on the two jars of wine, such a small demon with such small eyes She can actually stare so wide: "You want to steal wine?!"

Ning Ci's hands trembled, he turned around and ran away without talking nonsense.

The little demon in the apron was chasing after him with his bare buttocks, and cursed in disbelief: "You are so poor and crazy to come here to steal wine?! I *you are a fairy!"

As soon as it yelled, a group of little monsters wearing bellybands all appeared from nowhere, and they merged into a large arresting brigade, yelling loudly in the corridor, shouting to fight and kill, as if they were In the charge, there is only one enemy, and that is Ning Ci, who is running fast with two jars of wine in his arms.

Ning Ci felt that it was too exciting, his legs trembled with excitement, he ran around the corner and down the stairs, Shen Keqing stood leisurely at the entrance of the building with his hands behind his back, he flew up and jumped down the last five steps, his legs trembling Unable to stand still, he slid down and was gently caught by a pair of strong hands. Two bright laughter came from above his head: "I'm just downstairs, what are you afraid of?"

A group of little demons wearing bellybands happened to see this scene, those who rushed in front barely stopped, those who rushed behind did not know what happened and continued to rush forward, and knocked the ones that had stopped in front and flew out. , the scene fell into chaos for a while, and was about to start swearing, when they suddenly saw who was standing at the door, they all rubbed their eyes, a group of monsters started yawning, yawning, and hiccupping, and walked upstairs sleepy.

Ning Ci saw that they were so ruthless, but felt that this group of little ones were cute and cute, and said with a smile: "What kind of monsters are they?"

Shen Keqing: "A caterpillar."

"Ah." Caterpillar, Nian Yi is most afraid of caterpillars, "Will you turn into a butterfly in the future?"

Shen Keqing: "It can't be changed, they want to go to the sky without wings."

Ning Ci smiled: "Jiang Linxian isn't here, let's go, let's go drink."

It is still the small stone table, the crescent moon stool, and a lantern hanging on the branch above the head.

The two of them have been running around for a day, and now they are both quiet, drinking seriously, enjoying the time in a serious manner, enjoying the snowy wind, enjoying the hazy lights, enjoying the gentle and quiet tacit understanding, just looking at each other and smiling, tacit understanding.

When Ning Ci was pouring the eighth glass of wine, Shen Keqing stopped him, and he raised his head: "What are you doing? No drinking?"

Shen Keqing pressed the wine glass with his hand, slightly touching Ning Ci's hand: "Did you forget that you were fined just two days ago?"

Ning Ci didn't take it seriously: "Oh, don't worry, I can protect you even when I'm drunk, really." He didn't believe that anyone would dare to come.

Shen Keqing couldn't be bothered: "No, this is professionalism."

Ning Ci curled his lips and put down his hands embarrassingly, "Okay, I won't drink."

Back in the room, Ning Ci took off his clothes with ease and jumped into the hot spring water. The fatigue of the day dissipated without a trace in an instant, and his limbs were so refreshed that they seemed to be electrified. He leaned against the pool, squinted his eyes and teased Shen Keqing: " Why are you so far away from me? How can I protect you in case there are assassins?"

The steam was steaming, and Ning Ci couldn't see Shen Keqing's face clearly. Seeing that he didn't speak, he thought he didn't hear him. He took the initiative to get closer and said casually: "Why are you so white?" The water vapor is not as white as you, so strange .

The air pressure is a bit low, I don't know why, Ning Ci feels that Shen Keqing is a little different at the moment, this kind of difference...couldn't it be shyness, ahahaha Ning Ci laughed wildly in his heart, thinking that two big men would be shy when taking a bath Well, that's too cute, it doesn't conform to Shen Keqing's usual style of taking the overall situation into consideration, the more he thinks about it, the happier he is, as if he has grasped something, and he will be happier only if he has to prove it, so he slowly moved towards the place where Shen Keqing was staying. Swimming over, shouting while swimming: "Look at you, you put yourself on the verge of danger, I want to protect you..."

"Don't move!" Shen Keqing's voice changed, Ning Ci felt that it was not very fun, so he stopped, thinking that this person couldn't help being funny, and sure enough, Shen Keqing stuttered: "Just... just stop there , don't stop moving."

Ning Ci yawned, leaned against the edge of the pool, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He dreamed of Xiaozhoushan again, the shining Xiaozhoushan, and that dazzling man.

When Shen Keqing fished out Ning Ci, wiped it clean and threw the quilt on the bed, she felt that being an employer was quite boring.

Early the next morning, Ning Ci smelled a faint smell of blood and sat up abruptly.

This taste is very close to me, right there... right there!

He lifted the quilt and gently pushed Shen Keqing to wake him up, thinking that no one really came to seek death last night, he was steamed by the heat last night, and he forgot all about it when he got drunk, his heart felt like a drum of war: "Shen Guest, what's the matter with you?"

Shen Keqing squinted at him, coughed, and said calmly, "I was beaten last night."

Ning Ci was in a hurry: "Who?!"

Shen Keqing half-closed her eyes and curled up under the quilt: "Last night, I went out and walked around, ahem... I happened to meet someone I liked, so I went up and fought with him."

Ning Ci calmed down, judging that this should be his own courting death, not his negligence, and then asked: "And then?"

Shen Keqing continued coughing and coughing: "Then I couldn't beat him, so I was beaten by him."

Ning Ci praised: "What a strange woman, a hero among women." He patted Shen Keqing on the back: "It's okay, being beaten by someone you like is not a big deal, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Keqing suddenly looked into Ning Ci's eyes and said seriously: "He is not a woman, he is a man."

Ning Ci was stunned for a moment, then paused while patting Shen Keqing's hand.

They looked at each other, neither of them looked away, but soon, Ning Ciruan calmed down: "Man, that's okay, don't worry, I..." His head started to mess up, he didn't know what to say up.

Shen Keqing smiled triumphantly, and continued the previous words: "I didn't get hurt, I just vomited some blood."

"That's good, that's good...Why did you fight with him? Don't you like him?" Ning Ci finally turned around.

Shen Keqing smiled: "Then what should I do? I can't speak directly, I can only communicate physically."

Ning Ci felt a headache: "Wait, he didn't know you liked him in the end, did he?" Are you out of your mind?

Shen Keqing nodded seriously.

Ning Ci said seriously: "Next time you call me, if you are embarrassed to say it, I will say it for you, even if we really fight, we will still be two people..."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Keqing wanted to laugh, but she choked, her eyes turned red, and she spit out a big mouthful of blood. After she vomited, her face became really ugly. She glanced at Ning Ci cautiously, and Ning Ci exploded on the spot , while helping Shen Keqing up, he asked: "Who?! Who is so ruthless?! This is also his beating?!"

Shen Keqing wiped the corners of her mouth, then smiled, this time she was a little tired, and said, "How do I know who he is? We started fighting before we even spoke."

"..." Ning Ci was so angry and depressed, he wanted to give Shen Keqing another punch, cleaned up the blood-stained pillow and bedding, and gave Shen Keqing a small heater to let him stay, and changed it The bed quilt stuffed Shen Keqing in again, and then said: "Don't do this next time."

"it is good."

As soon as he went out, a dart pierced through the air, pierced straight into the door frame with a bang, and a black shadow disappeared.

Ning Ci took off the note with doubts, and slowly unfolded it. There were only seven words in it, and the seven words made him breathless: read the disaster in Hexiang Village.

Whether it's true or not, that person really accurately grasped his weakness, making him dare not not go, he couldn't take the risk of his junior sister, clutching the note tightly in his hand, before he had time to say hello to Shen Keqing, he rushed to Hexiang Village.
