Chapter 67: The Old-fashioned Tale
The moon is in the middle of the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The small village of Baixi outside Jiankang City is shining brightly.
The river meanders through, the houses in the village are low, and the window paper is shabby, all of which are the homes of urns and ropes. Under an old locust tree nearby, there are three thatched eaves earthen houses, sparse hedges and horizontal slopes, a few bunches of unnamed grains are hung on the outer wall, the candles in the house are flickering, the dishes on the table are nearly half cold, and the night has passed halfway, but the host's family does not seem to have the intention of getting off the table.
"Miss Ye Jin wants to eat more, ouch, she's skinny, ......"
Wu Jun's soft words sounded in his ears, and when the words fell, there was an extra piece of steamed fish with scallion oil in the bowl in front of Xia Yejin.
"Yes, my sister has to make up for it, my mother is right, my sister is too thin, and girls who are too thin are not easy to give birth to......"
"Children's families, just talk nonsense if you know anything!"
"Mom, I didn't talk nonsense, this is what my aunt said. My sister raised her to be more mellow, and she will look good in a wedding dress to marry my brother in the future. ”
“……”
Xia Yejin looked up to the sky and sighed. I want to cry without tears.
How the hell did she put herself in such a strange dilemma?
The Eastern Jin Dynasty Mu Emperor Yonghe eight years.
This is a time of division and turmoil, and it is also an era of frankness and detachment that is keen on incense, drinking, taking medicine, and indulging in landscapes. The people are living in dire straits, and they are hungry, and the scholars smoke incense and rub powder every day to talk about indulgence in wine and profligacy. The two extremes of worlds apart are unexpectedly and harmoniously fused together, constituting an era that will be inexplicable to future generations.
It's a pity that Xia Yejin came here, and she didn't even see what the incense looked like, so she fell into a trap set by a crappy hunter.
This time, the target is a young girl named Ruby.
Actually, the story is a bit old-fashioned.
The girl accidentally saved a fox who was seriously injured. After the fox recovered from his wounds, he turned into a man and came to repay his kindness. After coming and going, the two grew in love and tied the knot. But one day the fox accidentally appeared in its original form, and the girl wanted to leave him after discovering it, but was killed by the fox by mistake. After the girl's death, the fox also lost the opportunity to become an immortal due to accidental injury.
"Then I just need to stop Ruby from saving the fox, right?"
"Not necessarily."
"What do you mean? Have more questions? ”
Xia Yejin frowned.
After the previous two lessons of blood and tears, she can now make the task simple and not think in the direction of complexity.
"This one."
Gong Chenshi did not answer her, but handed her a wallet embroidered with a totem on it.
Unexpectedly, the iron rooster who has always been cold-blooded and picks the door also has a warm side, Xia Yejin was immediately flattered, but he still has to do a full set of kung fu on the face. So hurry up and symbolically wave your hand and say you don't need to be so polite, right? Didn't the salary just settle? Why give me money again? How embarrassing it is.
As he spoke, he took the wallet and held it tightly in his hand.
“……”
Even if the other party was still expressionless, Xia Yejin still smelled a hint of lovelessness, and before he had time to think deeply, he pulled the corners of his mouth when he saw Gong Chen, "This is not a wallet." ”
When Xia Yejin heard this, she hurriedly opened it and looked, sure enough. Where is the money inside, just a thick stack of ...... Yellow rune paper?
Belch.
"You can use it at a critical moment." Gong Chenshi continued to be expressionless.
The words are still in my ears.
But when she went up the mountain and accidentally fell into the trap set by the lame Orion, and half of her leg was bloody, but not only could she not stop the bleeding but could not escape, she realized more deeply that if Gong Chenshi's words could be fully believed, all the sows in the world would be able to go up the tree!
The young hunter's name is Chen Jing, and he lives in Baixi Village at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that Xia Yejin was injured because of his trap, and hearing that she was living here because of famine, he felt guilty in his heart, so he took her back to the village to recuperate.
Thinking that the place where the fox appeared was in the back mountain of Baixi Village, Xia Yejin also took this opportunity to live in the Chen family.
The Chen family is a foreign household, the family relationship is simple, the Chen brothers and sisters lost their father at an early age, and they were raised by the Chen family's mother, the Chen family's mother is transparent and kind, and the Chen Jing brothers and sisters can be regarded as friendly. The only bad thing is ......
"Sister Ye Jin, when are you going to marry my brother, will it be okay at the end of the year?"
Chen Caiyi, the youngest daughter of the Chen family, tilted her little head and began to talk about this topic again.
Xia Yejin's eyes darkened, and she fainted directly.
When I woke up, it was noon the next day.
When he was secretly annoyed about how he slept so late, Chen Caiyi pushed the door and walked in, still holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, seeing Xia Yejin sitting on the edge of the bed with a trance on his face, he couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect your alcohol to be so shallow, sister, just pour a cup......"
As he spoke, he put the porridge in his hand on the table, "Brother will be back later, sister, you eat quickly, let's go up the mountain to pick fruits." ”
Xia Yejin was worried that he couldn't find a suitable excuse to go up the mountain, and when he heard Chen Caiyi say this, he suddenly came to his senses, and he solved the bowl of porridge by dividing it by two, and after eating, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, today is the day when the fox appeared in Gong Chenshi, I hope that it will not be good to give birth to other incidents that will affect innocent people later.
There were several other girls in the same village who went with the two, and the girl was already easy to get acquainted with, plus Xia Yejin was not a cold and alienated person who was difficult to approach, so after only chatting a few words, they all became acquainted.
The back mountain is not far away, but the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk.
A few people walked for a long time to reach the mountainside, but fortunately, there were many wild fruits on the mountain at this time, and all the way down, the bamboo basket on the back had been filled with a lot.
Xia Yejin's attention was not on the wild fruit, but in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, he still worked very hard. But after picking it for a while, she finally couldn't hold it anymore, so she whispered with a shy face and a little embarrassed that she wanted to go to the thatched house over there.
People have three impatiences, and everyone naturally doesn't take them to heart.
As soon as she left the sight of others, Xia Yejin began to look around desperately.
It is said that it should not be difficult to find the fox if it is injured, but unfortunately it is full of waist-length weeds, and Xia Yejin has only seen the fox species on TV before coming, and has never seen a living creature.
While thinking about it, she probed the weeds and walked deeply, the more she went inside, the more she felt that something was wrong, it was a clear sky, but a cold wind blew inexplicably, thinking of too many strange things in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and she was about to go back to save her life, but she stepped on something coldly under her feet, and then her calf was painful, and the center of gravity of the whole person was unstable and slipped directly into the grass.
He grinned in pain for a while, rubbed his back and just stood up, but when he caught a glimpse of something on the ground, he instantly fell back to the same place in shock.
This time, it hurts even more than just now!
There was a fox lying on the ground, right at her feet.
The coat color is shiny and translucent, the hair color in the middle of the back is pale white, winding down, at first glance it looks like the fins on the back of a fish, even if it does not move, the body still exudes a strong demonic aura, it is the one she is looking for.
To say how she could feel the demonic aura and then identify the monster, Xia Yejin is not very clear, probably ...... Is it because of the bright yellow wallet that Gong Chen gave when he was in his arms?
