Chapter 12: Family

This night, Ye Qian slept extremely peacefully, and she woke up when it was dawn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info got out of the quilt, stretched, and turned her head to look, but she didn't see a clear sound, but she noticed that there was an extra fluffy unknown object on the quilt. Gently pulling the quilt, the unknown object remained motionless. Ye Qian held his breath, opened his eyes wide, leaned over curiously, and after taking a closer look, he boldly stretched out his finger and poked it gently. Hey? Soft, warm, she couldn't help but poke a few more times happily.

Cheng Huangyuan buried the cat's face in his stomach and curled up into a ball to sleep, and after being poked a few times by Ye Qian, he purred twice, turned over, stretched out his limbs and lay on the quilt to continue sleeping.

Cheng Huang's sudden movement startled Ye Qian, she quickly dodged to the side and carefully observed, and after a while, seeing that Cheng Huang no longer reacted, she came up again. With fine yellow fluffy hair, pointed ears, a round face, and a small pink nose with a silvery-white beard of varying lengths, she had seen animals that looked a little like it when she lived in the mountains, and her grandmother told her that it was called the 'Tanuki', and that it was a fierce animal that could climb trees. Ye Qian frowned, a little puzzled, obviously a little cute, where is the murder?

Although Ye Qian remembered Han Yuan's words, he was a little scared and jealous in his heart, but after all, he couldn't resist his curiosity and the little girl's love for furry animals, so he mustered up the courage to kneel on the bed and gently held Cheng Huang's two short front legs to lift him up.

In fact, when Ye Qian woke up, Chenghuang already knew, but he was just too lazy to move, and now that his sleepiness was disturbed, he opened his mouth wide and yawned boredly. Guarding a human child? It's unprecedented to be a divine beast to do his part, but he has already negotiated with Qingyin last night, anyway, the longevity of human beings is only a hundred years, in order to restore his true body, he will be patient for the time being. Thinking of this, Cheng Huang finally had hope for his future life, cheered up, opened his round eyes and looked at Ye Qian.

Seeing himself with his mouth wide open in Chenghuang's dark eyes, Ye Qian also blinked, looked straight at Chenghuang, and after a person and a cat stared at each other motionless for a while, "Wow - so cute!" Ye Qian took Chenghuang into his arms, rubbing his cheeks against the soft and dense fluff on the top of Chenghuang's head, and his heart was already happy.

Chenghuang was very uncomfortable being hugged by Ye Qian, "Meow...... Meow "screamed, he was in such a bad mood that he wanted to bite, but because of Qingyin, he didn't dare to lower his mouth to Ye Qian, so he had to wag his tail back and forth.

was strangled breathlessly, Chenghuang finally couldn't help it, and roared angrily: "Ugly girl! You let me go! ”

"......" Ye Qian was shocked by the roar, and as soon as she let go of her hand, Cheng Huang fell directly from her arms on the quilt with her feet facing the sky. The little short legs fluttered for a long time before they turned over, and they shook the hair on their bodies very dissatisfied, and muttered while licking their paws: "Old immortal Qingyin, Qingyin, you old immortal!" ”

Ye Qian came back to his senses for a long time, his eyes opened wider, looked at Cheng Huang, and stammered: "You, you...... Can talk? ”

"Is it strange that this god can speak?" Chenghuang glanced at Ye Qian, "Ignorant and ignorant human beings!" He bared his teeth and made a fierce appearance, but unfortunately the effect was not good, Ye Qian was obviously not afraid of him.

Ye Qian sat there looking at Cheng Huang excitedly, his bright eyes seemed to be sprinkled with starlight, and he said with a smile: "When I used to live in the mountains, I knew a rabbit spirit, and like you, he could talk." I know you're all good youkai, I'm not afraid. She wanted to reach out and touch Chenghuang's fluff, but she was afraid that she would be hated by him, so she endured it, looked at him with her hands in her face full of anticipation, and asked cautiously: "Let's be friends, okay?" ”

Chenghuang sniffed disdainfully, and replied without thinking, "Not good." Standing on her hind legs, her little pink tongue was just about to lick her other front paw, and she was stunned before she realized that something was wrong, and she could hear him?! Shocked to open his mouth wide, his front paw pointed at Ye Qian, and then pointed at himself, "There are monstersβ€”β€”! "'Goo-dong' planted the bed, moved his little short legs and panted out of breath: "There are monsters, there are monsters-"

Ye Qian blinked suspiciously, looking around, monster? Where's the yokai?

When Qingyin went and returned, as soon as he entered the door, Chenghuang hit his leg in a panic and fell on all fours. Chenghuang didn't care about his head that was a little confused, and after getting up, he hurriedly hugged Qingyin's leg with his front paws. "You, where did you find such a profound youkai?"

Looking down at Cheng Huang's embarrassed appearance, Qingyin originally wanted to smile, but felt that the skin on his face froze. Could it be that in the past two thousand years, he has become lonely and unheard, and he doesn't know when the laws of the Six Realms have been reversed? Mythical beasts are afraid of youkai? It's ridiculous just to think about it! But where are the yokai? Is the leaf shallow?

Finally adjusted his mood, Qingyin's expression narrowed, "Chenghuang, you come down for me!" ”

"Don't come down! You're going to use your god to raise youkai! I can tell you, don't even think about it, no way! He said that things are not that simple, and Qingyin will not be so kind! The monster disguised as a human child was so deep that he couldn't even see through it.

Qingyin sighed helplessly, but he regretted that he had captured Chenghuang from the country of the white people, such an unreliable divine beast, how could he be expected to protect Ye Qian after he left. "Chenghuang, how did you become so timid. Take a closer look, she's just a child, where is a monster. ”

Ye Qian didn't expect that it was she who scared Chenghuang, and looked at Qingyin innocently with big eyes, a little at a loss, "Master, what kind of monster is he talking about...... I? ”

There was a grumpy Chenghuang in front, and Ye Qian, who needed to be appeased, and Qingyin suddenly felt that one head was two big. Leaning over, his slender and beautiful fingers pulled the fur on Cheng Huang's back and picked him up, regardless of Cheng Huang's fluttering and struggling, he directly carried it to Ye Qian and threw it into her arms, "Qianqian, Master gave you a pet." ”

"Pets?! You're the pet! Chenghuang immediately exploded when he heard this, and turned around angrily and bit Qingyin's hand hatefully. Cheng Huang's lower mouth was very heavy, and Qingyin's slender and white index finger was bitten by two fangs in an instant, but no blood flowed out.

"Master!" Ye Qian was startled, and after exclaiming, he hurriedly covered his mouth, what his grandmother said was really right, it was really a terrible and ferocious animal.

Qingyinyun glanced lightly at the bloodless wound on his fingers, frowned slightly, pushed Chenghuang away, and silently pulled his sleeve to cover it. Then he smiled slightly and touched Ye Qian's head, "Master is fine." ”

Ye Qian held Chenghuang in his arms, lowered his head to his bright-looking and innocent black pupils, and couldn't bear to blame him, learning to gently stroke the fluff on Chenghuang's head in a clear voice, "You have to be obedient, you can't be fierce!" Hee-hee, we'll be a family from now on. ”

"Family?" Who wants to be one with the lowly human race? Chenghuang rolled his eyes speechlessly, and thought about the deal with Qingyin, even if he was dissatisfied with it at this time, he had to make compromises. Stiffly straightened his limbs and made a resignation gesture, knowing that it was better to be eaten by gluttony, and now he didn't have to suffer such humiliation!

When the business was first opened, some people didn't know what the word '荼' was written on the hanging banner floating outside the door, because they would come in and taste it because they were curious. However, most people don't like the slightly astringent and bitter taste of tea, and they won't come back a second time after tasting it.

The elegant front door can be full of birds, Qingyin is happy, every day when he has nothing to do, he will play the piano in the attic every day, read books and learn words, or play chess with Wang Yu in the courtyard, occasionally tease and ride Huang, or teach Ye Qianqin skills and mathematics. Ye Qian also grew up day by day under the care of everyone, and gradually forgot about his childhood encounters, and became an empathetic and optimistic and cheerful girl. She is already smart and clever, and she learns things quickly, and she has the guidance of everyone like Wang Yu and Qingyin, and she is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and her conversation and behavior are even better than ordinary men.

Seven years of cold and summer days have been spent in such a leisurely and comfortable way.

However, the events that happened one after another when Ye Qian was thirteen years old changed her life dramatically. At the beginning of spring, she came to Kwai Shui, and although she didn't want to grow up, she couldn't avoid ushering in the first stage of becoming a woman from a girl. On the day of the autumn equinox, the Wang couple accompanied her on her last lively birthday, and after winter, they passed away in just a month. Ye Qian took care of the funeral for the two old people as a granddaughter, and Qingyin moved from Ye Qian's next room to the second floor of the tea house after being by her side for a month.

There was no laughter in the past, and Ye Qian came out of his sadness after half a year, and slowly changed back to his original optimistic appearance. Although the business of the tea house is bleak, but occasionally some people will come, and the business is taken care of by the Wang couple on weekdays, after they passed away for a period of time, Ye Qian volunteered to take over the business, Qingyin did not object, and came by her temperament.
