Chapter Twenty-Four: Teasing Summer Grass
After Zhao Qing heard this, he was depressed in his heart, and turned around to scold people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info never thought that the moment he turned around, Yun Xi was already behind him. At such a close distance, she didn't have time to react, and a kiss suddenly landed on her soft lips, like a dragonfly in water.
Zhao Qing had a circled expression on his face, stunned in place, and stared at Yun Xi with big eyes. The corners of his mouth rose, a wicked smile appeared, he raised his hand and gently held up Zhao Qing's delicate chin, his handsome eyes were half-down, staring at her cherry lips like petals, wanting to kiss Fang Ze again.
Zhao Qing saw him slowly approaching and reacted. remembered all the things he teased before, and swore that he would never be fooled again! She frowned, raised her foot and stepped on Yunxi's instep fiercely.
I only heard Yun Xi's 'ah' scream, and jumped on the bed holding the foot that was trampled, and accidentally pressed my arm when I fell, and there was a pain in the broken place. Hurriedly holding the wooden clip fixed on his arm, Yun Xi with one hand really took care of the top, but couldn't take care of the bottom. It's really miserable, and it's bitter. pretended to be pitiful and attracted Zhao Qing's attention.
She saw that Yun Xi bumped into her broken arm, and she couldn't bear to step forward to help. But seeing his trick of pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic, he stopped. remembered that when she was in the Stygian Building, every time Yun Xi used this trick, she had no choice, so she had to forgive him, obediently obey, and let him go. is the so-called concern is chaos, but I didn't expect Yunxi to grasp her and get up again and again.
"You want to tease me again, I didn't use much strength for that kick just now, so I won't be fooled by you this time." Zhao Qing'e frowned, crossed his hands on his waist, and looked at Yun Xi who was pretending to be on the bed and rolling left and right.
"Hey, hey, it doesn't seem to hurt so much when you say that." Seeing that he was exposed, Yun Xi pretended to sit up and said with an embarrassed smile.
At this time, the sound of summer grass came from outside the house, presumably coming back from collecting medicine. I'm picking up hard-picked herbs in the yard.
"Humph!" Zhao Qing snorted coldly, glanced at Yunxi, turned around to go out, and went to help Xia Cao sort out the herbs.
"Qingqing, where are you going?"
"I'll go out to help Xia Cao, you can reflect on yourself!" After that, Zhao Qing glared at Yun Xi, and when he saw that he didn't cry out in pain, he went out with confidence.
In the courtyard, Xia Cao was laying out the herbs on the sieve, and there were several sieves on the ground that had already laid the herbs. She picked it up and put it on the shelf where the herbs were dried.
"Xiao Xiacao, I'm back!"
"Sister Zhao! I didn't expect you to come back earlier than me, and without my summer grass help, you would have been able to collect the dew? Natsukusa squinted and smiled.
"Look at you, this little thing, how can it stump me!"
"This dew must be collected at the right time, and it must be collected before the hour, and only the dew in this hour is used in medicine, and its effect is the best. After an hour, the effect of the medicine will be lost. ”
"It's good that I finished collecting it before the hour." Zhao Qing suddenly remembered that Xia Cao had just come back from outside, and he didn't know if he saw Yin Chiyan, so he knocked on the side. "By the way, Xiao Xia Cao, you went to the mountains to collect medicine, you have been going for so long, when you come back, what new things will you encounter?"
"Novelty?" Natsukusa fiddled with the herbs, thinking about the events on the way. As if he had thought of something, he stopped what he was doing. "Strange to say, I was by the river not far from the medicine house, and I saw a red shadow flashing by. But I think it's foggy, I don't think so. ”
"Really? Where, take me to see it! Zhao Qing paused for a moment, and when he heard Xia Cao say this, the red shadow should be Yin Chiyan's girl, so he put down the sieve in his hand and pulled Xia Cao out.
"What is there to see, maybe I'm bad." Xia Cao was pulled by Zhao Qing, but she couldn't resist it, so she dropped the herbs in her hand and went out with her.
In this way, he dragged and dragged to the river that Xia Cao had passed by before, and found that the red shadow he had seen before was standing quietly on the shore motionless. Xia Cao rubbed his eyes, it turned out that he was not mistaken. How could anyone be here, the red body stood still on the shore, and although the white mist around him had dispersed a lot more than before, it was still looming, and it seemed limited and weird. Xia Cao thought that it was difficult for anyone to find the Hundred Herbs on weekdays, and basically no one would come here. He felt strange, so he looked at Zhao Qing and raised his finger to show her.
"Sister Zhao, it's right there. It's so strange, why did it appear again. Xia Cao wondered.
Zhao Qing saw that Xia Cao was at a loss, and his mind turned. remembered that this bear child kept telling ghost stories to scare her, so she also had the idea of teasing Xia Cao, and after the thief laughed, she began to show her perfect acting skills and fooling Dafa. Pretend that there is nothing ahead and that you can't see it.
"Xia Cao, what are you talking about, there is someone in front. All I saw was the river! Zhao Qing pretended to stand on tiptoe and looked hard in the direction Xia Cao was pointing.
Hearing Zhao Qing say this, his face froze instantly. Xia Cao swallowed her saliva and looked at the red back again in disbelief, obviously it was there, how could she not see it?
"Sister Zhao, don't scare me, it's standing there, the woman in red. Can't you see it? ”
"Xiao Xiacao, are you sick, there is nothing there at all." Zhao Qing secretly snickered in his heart, it seems that this bear child has begun to believe.
"How could it not be? Look closely, red, red clothes...... "At this time, Xia Cao was obviously in a hurry, and Xia Cao, who was sharp and sharp on weekdays, actually stuttered a little.
Zhao Qing's heart began to feel dark, and he couldn't laugh when he wanted to laugh. She coughed lightly, a serious and serious look.
"Did you really see it was the woman in red?"
"Well, it's by the river!"
"Xia Cao, have you heard of the legend of the nine-tailed red fox!" Zhao Qing took Xia Cao's hand and looked at him solemnly, with a sympathetic gaze from time to time, and a gesture of wanting to speak and stopping.
"Nine-tailed red fox?" Xia Cao stared at the big black and white eyes, her face turned pale, and she shook her head in a wooden way.
"Hey, legend has it that in this deep mountain spiritual land, there will be some spirit beasts cultivating. They absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and the aura of heaven and earth. Among them, the fox is the most ferocious. They will eat spirit beasts that are weaker than themselves to increase their cultivation. But as the heavens and the earth changed, those spirit beasts were no longer enough to satisfy them. So, they started going to more aura animals. Speaking of this, Zhao Qing began to sell Guanzi and whetted the appetite of Xia Cao.
"What's more, a more aura animal? Be... What the? Xia Cao obviously believed Zhao Qing's story, and her tongue unconsciously knotted.
"It's human!"
"People?!"
"Yes, human beings are the primates of all things in this world, and of course they are the most spiritual species in this world. Especially children, it is the most pure and nourishing! Therefore, those foxes who have cultivated to a certain level will dig up the hearts and livers of children and eat them! As he spoke, Zhao Qing pounced on Xia Cao with his teeth and claws, making him tremble for a while.
"You lie, I don't believe it!" Xia Cao was frightened by Zhao Qing and took a step back.
Xia Cao looked at the figure again, rubbing her eyes vigorously. Although the legends of fox ghosts on weekdays were told by Mr. Storyteller in the town, he just listened to them, but he never took them seriously. Sometimes it is used to scare Zhao Qing, but at this moment, the scene in front of him really makes him believe it a little.
"I'm not lying, legend has it that only a child who is targeted by a nine-tailed red fox can see her true body. Others can't see it, just now you said, there is a woman in red there, it must be the nine-tailed red fox! ”
"You're talking nonsense, you're definitely lying to me. Then tell me, what does the nine-tailed red fox look like! Xia Cao is the most ghostly on weekdays, so naturally he will not be easily fooled, so he asked Zhao Qing.
"I haven't seen it, legend has it that this nine-tailed red fox is the incarnation of the red fox, and he likes to wear a red dress. Extremely beautiful raw, with blood-like lips and black and white fox eyes. The most obvious thing is that she has a red mark like a flame on her forehead! Natsucao, can't you see her? Look if she has that mark on her forehead! ”
As he spoke, Xia Cao turned stiffly to the river and looked at the graceful figure. Zhao Qing snickered beside him, looking at Xia Cao's expression, he already believed eight or nine points. Coincidentally, Yin Chiyan, who was standing by the river at this time, also turned around at the right time. From a distance, the flame mark on her eyebrows was particularly conspicuous on her white and tender little face.
Seeing this scene, Xia Cao's blood suddenly turned cold. I gasped, and my legs and stomach began to tremble. The worst thing is that the woman in red actually walked towards him. At this time, Xia Cao finally couldn't hold back anymore and shouted, 'Senior brother, save me!' Without looking back, he ran in the direction of the medicine house.
Looking at Xiao Xiacao, who was so frightened that she ran away, Zhao Qing stood in place and laughed, her waist couldn't straighten up when she was already laughing, she patted her thighs, and tears flowed into her eyes.
"This girl can't listen anymore, nine-tailed red fox! Only someone like you would make up such a lie to deceive children. Yin Chiyan also looked at the Xia Cao who ran away, and was speechless for a while in his heart, this can also be believed. She walked up to Zhao Qing leisurely, clasped her hands around her chest, and glanced at her with a slight disdain.
"You can hear it from so far away, what kind of ears are you!"
"Hmph, it's hard to hear your earth-shaking movements!" Yin Chiyan said disdainfully, suddenly thought of something, gathered around Zhao Qing, and looked her up and down. "Are you here to spy on me, if you want to wait for me to leave, you can go to my senior brother to complain and let me be punished! Hmph, die, since I, Yin Chiyan, have been ordered to escort you, I will not leave without permission. If you want to play yin, you won't be able to succeed. ”
"Can you stop thinking so badly of me? You should be like you, so vicious, you will stab people with poisonous needles at every turn, bluff people with spiders, in the long run, who will like a cruel and vicious woman like you! As soon as Zhao Qing's words came out, he also regretted it. I originally wanted to apologize to her, but the character of not admitting defeat made trouble, so I returned the favor without thinking about it.
"You!"
Yin Chiyan was annoyed and angry, only to see her heroic eyebrows rising, and they were about to stand up. It's just that it's hard for the Lord's life, otherwise who would dare to give her such anger on weekdays. The anger in her heart was forcibly endured, she didn't argue with Zhao Qing, but turned her back to her angrily.
