[Love and Xu Mo] Ancient Trends

The young man stood under the orange tree, looking at the leisurely man lying on the thick branch, struggling to reach a high place to pick the fruit, and shouted "Miss, come down quickly!" I know, it's over for me.He wanted to climb up the tree to catch the little guy, but when he climbed up the tree, the branches shook, and the little girl screamed in fright, so he could only run around in a hurry under the tree.

Suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, followed by a leisurely scream, before he had time to react, he saw Lord Hu Immortal hugging her and standing under the tree.When the crisis was over, he saw the sullen eyes of the adult, and ran away in a hurry before he could pursue his responsibility of guarding.

"You..." As soon as he opened his mouth, the little girl stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth and asked with a smile, "Is it sweet?"

"My lord, haven't you been asking Xiaojiu when the tangerines will be ripe a few days ago?"

"You... just climbed a tree just for this sentence?"

The little girl nodded obediently, broke off another piece of orange and was about to raise her hand, the fox fairy lowered his head and bit off the orange piece, and lightly pressed his forehead against the little girl's.The wind blows through the branches, the branches and leaves rustle, and the birds fly to the sky in the wind, but the time under the trees seems to be still.

She bit her lip tightly, her breathing was rapid, her eyes rolled and turned, not knowing what to say.

The fox fairy left a light kiss on the top of her head, and the little girl kept her head down, not knowing what happened.

"It's very sweet, thank you." He put down the little girl, touched her head and said gently and seriously, "But, don't do dangerous things in the future, I will be very worried. Go, go to the study, and look at your few Has Japanese calligraphy improved?"

After walking a few steps, he found that the little girl was still in a daze, so he bent slightly and stretched out his hand to her.It wasn't until the moment her little hand touched him that his frown was relaxed again.

Snow Fox Flying Pigeon, thousands of miles away, sent a letter inviting him to have a drink together. He had no intention of accepting the invitation, but the letter was sincere.Xuehu grew up with him since he was a child, and since he went to the icy place to practice Taoism, the two have not seen each other for a hundred years.

It would take three to five days to go, the little girl was naughty by nature, and she had been spoiled by him all these years, and he knew that Xiaojiu alone would not be able to control her.He intends to take her on the road, but in the freezing cold place, the little girl might not be able to bear it without her body.

After being troubled for a long time, he found a lot of weird toys from the busy market, and repeatedly told Xiao Jiu to take good care of them.Threatened and coaxed the little girl not to allow the little girl to step out of the house, not only that, he took out the copybooks that he had treasured for many years and asked her to copy them a hundred times a day, and he had to check each one when he came back.

The fox fairy left, and Xiao Jiu guarded outside the study every day in fear, for fear that something would happen to the person in the room.Looking at it over the years, he understood that this is not raising a child, it is clearly supporting a little ancestor.

He had complained to the adults, and the fox fairy told him that cultivating xinxing is the most important part of cultivating Taoism, and he was asked to be more patient with the little girl, the life of this young man was getting more and more difficult.

But Youran is very well-behaved, spends every day copying copybooks in the study, and doesn't mess around anymore, Xiaojiu is relieved and at the same time faintly uneasy.

Today, he broke into the door suddenly by delivering tea to see if she was doing something bad secretly.Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he found that the little girl had secretly hidden a piece of paper under the copybook.

"Miss, have you finished your homework? My lord told me that I can check at any time."

"Here, it's all here, a hundred times." The little girl tidied up the messy desk, and handed him a stack of papers.

A smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, instead of taking her homework, he immediately took out the privately kept piece of paper from under the copybook while he was unprepared.He didn't know if he didn't look at it, he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, and the word 'Xu Mo' was written several times on the paper.

He hurriedly tore up the paper with a nervous expression, "How do you know the name of your lord?"

She opened the first page of the copybook, and the word 'Xu Mo' was written in the corner, the handwriting was delicate but strong.

"This..." Seeing that she was about to say the adult's name, Xiao Jiu immediately covered her mouth, squatted down to look at her, and said very seriously, "You are not allowed to say or write these two words in the future, you know? Yes Just blink."

You Ran had never seen Xiao Jiu look so serious before, she was a little frightened, and blinked nervously, Xiao Jiu let go of her hand covering her mouth.He closed the copybook, sighed lightly, and slowly answered her question.

"If you say the name of the fox fairy, it is equivalent to signing a lifetime contract with him, do you understand?"

"Okay, I want to be with you forever."

"Oh... no, you don't understand, you don't understand anything." The boy said with tears in the corner of his eyes, looking at her innocent and clear eyes, he didn't know how to explain all this to him, so he was silent for a while, He spoke with difficulty, "Miss, you can do whatever you want, even if you burn this mansion of the Fox Immortal. Only this matter is not allowed, you can't call adults by their first names, remember?"

Although she didn't understand that Xiao Jiu would be so resistant to being with the young master, she nodded at the moment and promised not to mention this matter again.

You Ran never thought that the boy who played and laughed with her all day would say such words to her so seriously one day.She heard from the young master that he was willing to be by his side all the time because he had rescued Xiao Jiu. There must be a reason why he said so.But... what exactly is it?

Since the conversation in the study that day, she ate and slept, and no matter what she did, the confusion in her heart became deeper and deeper every day.On the other hand, Xiao Jiu couldn't sleep because of this incident, and she relaxed a lot in her supervision.

With concern in his heart, he was naturally absent-minded when doing things. He leisurely sighed and pulled the kite string in his hand, but stared at the pond in a daze.She didn't look up until the string in her hand couldn't be pulled no matter what, and found that the paper kite that was flying high in the sky had long disappeared and fell into the dense forest outside the courtyard.This is a paper kite that the young master made for himself!

She walked around the yard, Xiao Jiu didn't know where she went, so she rolled up her skirt, tied it in a knot, and quickly slipped out through the back door.

There was no troublemaker, and the whole mansion was so quiet that only the chirping of sparrows remained. Xiao Jiu walked out of the study and saw that the young lady who had been playing in the yard was nowhere to be seen, and the kite string had also fallen to the ground.He threw away the cleaning tool in his hand and called her name all over the courtyard, but there was no response.He was even more at a loss when he saw the false door in the back alley, but soon he made an even worse decision.

He decided not to look for her, and it would be fine if he came back. It would be a good thing if he didn't come back. Falling in love with a monster is against the law of nature, not to mention the countless painful lessons from thousands of years are not enough.The young lady is young and ignorant, unable to control herself, and the adult is deeply in love, deeply trapped without knowing it.This is good, she got lost by herself.

Thinking of this, he stopped going out and returned to the front yard, not wanting to bother with this matter.

But he couldn't sit and sleep in the room, it was getting dark, the beasts in the mountains were ferocious, the young lady had no strength to restrain the chicken, in case something unexpected happened.He didn't dare to think about it anymore, hesitated again and again, pushed open the door and rushed out.

At this moment, the gate of the mansion was opened, and he ran over excitedly, thinking that the young lady had returned.Unexpectedly, it was Master Hu Immortal, who collided with him all at once.

Hu Immortal grabbed the flustered boy, patted the dust off his body lightly, and asked, "Why are you so flustered, You Ran?"

"My lord, Miss...Miss, she..."

As soon as he heard that something happened to her, he couldn't control his emotions, his eyes were stained with blood, and his fangs appeared.Unconsciously, the strength in his hand increased by three points, and the little servant screamed in pain.

"What's wrong with her? Tell me!"

"Young master! You are back..."

With a soft call, the anger in her heart was extinguished like a pouring clear spring. This introverted and steady temperament, which was cultivated for thousands of years, was completely destroyed in front of her.

"I'll settle the score with you later." He whispered these words in the boy's ear, walked to the yard, picked up his little girl, and rubbed the tip of her nose affectionately.

"My lord, your ears..." He grabbed her little hand that was about to make trouble, put her down, and gently pressed her head with the other hand to stop her willful behavior.

Seeing that the little guy in front of him was covered in mud, his clothes were torn, and his skirt was tied to his waist, he knew without asking that he must have gone out privately and sneaked back home through the back door after playing until almost dusk.

The little girl was honest, and she truthfully confessed her actions in the face of the criminal evidence that could not be destroyed.

"Fool, you can do it again when the paper kite is gone. Did I tell you that everything should be done with your own safety in mind?"

Seeing that she pursed her mouth and did not answer, he tapped her lips lightly, and took her little hand to take her to change.But he found that her left hand seemed to be holding something, which was still shining, when he stopped and asked her what it was.

She raised her head, raised the gold hairpin in her hand with some excitement, and told him as if showing off, "It was given to me by the elder brother who helped me climb the tree to get the paper kite!" She was about to put it on her head, and asked if he nice.

Hu Immortal suddenly loosened his tightly clenched fists, snatched the gold hairpin from her hand, and shouted at her with sullen eyes, "Without my permission, who told you to take other people's things?" , he was taken aback by himself, he never got angry with her.

Both of them were stunned, because of the fight just now, Youran's hand was cut by the gold hairpin, and now the blood was dripping down the fingertips, falling on the white stone ground, and bloody little flowers bloomed.

Hu Immortal knew she shouldn't be like this, she had done nothing wrong in fact.He wanted to hold her hand and treat her wound, but she pushed her away.Tears welled up in her eyes, she didn't know what she did wrong to be scolded so harshly, so she covered her face and ran away.

Looking at the whole process, Xiao Jiu silently said, "My lord, you shouldn't be like this."

"I..." He stared at the gold hairpin in his hand in a daze, unable to speak.

"That's her kind, can you tie her by your side for a lifetime?"

"Can't I?"

"Then... can she accompany you for the rest of your life?"

"You...Xiao Jiu, what exactly do you want to say?"

"We can stay young and look good forever. But she can't, she will grow up and grow old. One day she will see her wrinkled cheeks, but you still have a handsome face."

"So what, I can change in thousands of ways, it's not difficult." After saying that, the fox fairy casually threw the gold hairpin into the flower bed, what kind of thing would dare to match his little girl?

Nobile drew a perfect parabola in the air, and then disappeared in the grass. The servant chuckled lightly, his lord dared not face his heart from the beginning to the end.

"Why, what are you laughing at?"

"My lord, do you think she won't be able to remember the boy outside the wall after losing the golden hairpin? Everything before was just a decision you made for her. Did you ask her, or do you dare to ask her?"

The continuous questioning made him speechless, but he didn't, because he didn't dare, he was afraid that one day she would really leave him.

"My lord, you didn't let her leave this mansion because you were afraid that she would never return."

"No, she will choose me."

"That's because she has no right to choose. She has never been in contact with humans, and she doesn't understand the gap between humans and fox fairies. If you do this, won't you be afraid that she will hate you one day in the future? The ones outside the wall belong to her world!"

"What do you know, human beings are cowardly, and they don't even care about their own children in order to protect themselves. Only I can protect her forever."

"Perhaps, but it is destiny to experience and suffer what should be suffered. It is good to survive the cruelty, but it is also destiny if you can't. Didn't you teach me all these?"

"Let her go, let me go too." After finishing speaking, Xiao Jiu quietly retreated, leaving Hu Immortal alone in the courtyard.

She likes orchids, so he found the best flower seeds for her and planted them himself.She was afraid of the scorching heat, so he built a gazebo for her, and planted a melon field with vines for her.She said she wanted to see peach blossoms. Even in winter, he cast a spell to make spring peaches bloom all over the courtyard.

But there was only one thing he couldn't do.

He can't stop her from growing up, can't slow down her aging, human life is but a short moment to the fox fairy.

He has been deceiving himself and others, thinking that by trapping her in this fox fairy's mansion, he will trap her person, her heart, and her whole life.
