Chapter 32: Self-Defeating (I)

When I revealed his identity, he suddenly bent down and grabbed my hands, and said excitedly, "So you still remember me, you know? I've been looking for you for 500 years. ”

I was taken aback by his actions, rolled my eyes and shook off his hand and said, "What are you looking for me?" Also, how can you be sure that I'm the one-fox? ”

The rat spirit said, "It's simple, I've long remembered your appearance......" I thought to myself, even I don't know the difference between the looks of each fox, how can he tell the difference, he won't say this every time he meets a fox, and then today I finally guessed it? “…… Do you know? From the moment you didn't eat me, I kept you in my heart and liked you, so ......"

"Stop!" I got goosebumps when I heard his last few words, and I quickly intercepted his words, and couldn't help but get up and complain: "You really think you're delicious?" I didn't eat you because I was nauseous. So you don't have to remember me, let alone fall in love with me. I'm leaving, and I'll see you indefinitely! ”

I raised my feet to leave, but I didn't want to take a step, my legs suddenly went limp, and I almost fell, but fortunately he held me up in time.

"Disgusting? How, to you foxes, aren't we rats the best delicacy? By the way, it would be better for you to sit down and pranayama now. With that, before I could object, he pressed me to a flat stump.

Since I sat down, I didn't care anymore, I ignored him anymore, and crossed my legs and closed my eyes to breathe.

I don't know how long it took, but I didn't stop pranayama until I felt that the vitality in my body was almost restored. When I opened my eyes, it was already dark, and through the branches and leaves in mid-air, the moonlight was dappled in the forest. Although it's not too dark, my heart is still hairy.

A sound came from the side, and a figure rose from the ground. I was startled, and it wasn't until I saw it that I remembered that there was a rat spirit beside me.

"Why are you still here?" Because he was frightened, the tone of his speech was inevitably a little unkind.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid that something will happen to you!" The rat spirit smiled flatteringly at me.

"Thank you then, now I'm leaving." I said it in my mouth, but I was entangled in my heart: should I go back to Cangshan directly? Why don't you go and see Zhuo Ran? After weighing it, I still think I should go and see Zhuo Ran.

"Where are you going so late?" The rat spirit asked.

"You don't care where I go! I'm leaving! "After taking two steps, I feel that I should still thank others, after all, he has guarded me here for so long, and he has lost True Qi to help me recover.

"Thank you." I turned around and said.

"No thanks!" The rat spirit replied, his eyes shining brightly.

"Let's go!" Pinching my fingers to get the right direction, I flew away from the woods. After flying for a while, I always felt that there was something behind me, and when I turned my head, I saw that the mouse was actually following.

I stopped and waited until he was in front of me before saying, "Why are you following me?" ”

The rat spirit smiled: "Isn't it afraid that your injury is not healed, if something happens, won't I be able to help you a thing or two!" ”

"You're cursing me!" I don't have a good airway.

The mouse hurriedly shook his hand and said solemnly: "No, no, I can't curse anyone!" ”

"That's the best, don't follow me anymore, otherwise I'm welcome, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people then." After saying that, I still flew in the direction I had calculated. After flying for a while, I felt behind me, and there was nothing unusual. It seems that the rat didn't follow.

When I arrived at the door of Zhuo's house, it was still the middle of the night, and there was no light in Zhuo Ran's house. I went through the wall into the inner room, found the door of Zhuo Ran's room, and just wanted to enter through the wall, a question suddenly came to mind.

Isn't it too late to enter a strange man's room in the middle of the night? It's hot now, if he's afraid of the heat and sleeps naked...... I think I'll see him again tomorrow when it's dawn. Right now...... I retreated to the lobby of his house and sat down incognito in an old chair.

I don't know why, I, who was afraid of the dark on the mountain, sat alone in this empty lobby, and I was not afraid at all......

I was woken up by the smell of food, and when I opened my eyes in a daze, a black shadow flashed in front of me, startling me, and I immediately woke up clearly, it turned out to be Zhuo Ran in a plain robe walking in front of me.

said that it was a plain robe, but in fact, it was an old robe that had been washed and lost its original color. got up and stretched, and caught a glimpse of Zhuo Ran's mother and son eating breakfast in the next room. I walked in, but because I was invisible, Zhuo Ran's mother and son didn't notice me.

Walking across the table from Zhuo Ran, I observed the face that was almost identical to Qianfan. He has a good complexion, that is...... How do you feel that the whole person is a little colder than when I first met, it seems that I haven't come out of the grief of losing He Yuxiu.

Now that the person is fine, I am relieved, and now I can go back to Cangshan.

Before I could move, Chihiro got up and walked out of the room first. Just as he was about to leave, the flying instructions were pinched, and he heard Zhuo Mu sigh.

I looked over for some reason, and Zhuo Mu was wiping the tears on her face. What's going on? I just wanted to ask, but I remembered that I was still hidden, and this opening didn't scare the old man. In the end, I had to go through the wall to the outside of the house to show my form, and then walked in through the gate, pretending to be just here, and raised my voice and shouted: "Auntie." ”

Zhuo Mu at the table in the back room hurriedly wiped her eyes again, and then turned her head to look at me, a look of surprise flashed on her face.

"Auntie, good morning!" I went in and said hello with a smile.

Zhuo Mu got up, and said with a hint of surprise in her tone: "It's the white girl, I haven't seen you since I came back that day, and I'm still thinking about where you went."

"Let the eldest lady miss it, it's like this, I suddenly remembered something that day, so I left before I had time to say hello to you!" I say.

"I see!"

"Zhuo Ran is better, right?" I asked Zhuo's mother.

"Alas~" Zhuo Mu sighed.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Come, sit down first, are you ready for breakfast?" Zhuo Mu pulled a chair and asked me to sit down.

"I'm not hungry, why did my aunt sigh just now?"

Zhuo Mu sat down, sighed again and then said, "Bai girl, you don't know, since Ran'er woke up, she has been indifferent to everything, and she has spoken less, and she looks sluggish all day. I'm really worried about him like this! As she spoke, Zhuo Mu's eyes couldn't help but shed tears again.

"Auntie, don't worry too much, Xiuxiu's death is indeed a big blow to Zhuo Ran, and he will gradually forget it after a while." I comforted Zhuo's mother.

Zhuo's mother wiped away her tears and told me her worries: "I won't tell you, my son is a talent. In August this year, the imperial court will hold a triennial imperial examination, which is already in June, and I am afraid that he will be mistaken. Don't be afraid of the white girl's jokes, the situation at home, for this year's imperial examination, we have been preparing for several years, and we hope that he can become famous in one fell swoop and glorify his ancestors. But the way he is now...... How good is that! ”

"I see!" After listening to her, I can quite understand her, just imagine which parent is not hoping for a son to become a dragon, and a daughter to become a phoenix!

I thought about it and came up with an idea: "Auntie, I think you might as well be like this, you can marry Zhuo Ran a wife, so that he may not always think about Xiuxiu." After becoming a family, he also has responsibilities, and he will definitely study hard and make progress every day. ”

After speaking, I remembered that there were eight words, Zhuo Mu definitely didn't understand, and was about to change the word, but saw Zhuo Mu's eyes light up, and she clapped her hands and said, "That's right!" How I didn't think of that. But...... Our family is so poor, how can any girl be willing to marry into the door. As she spoke, her gaze dimmed again.

"Auntie, not everyone hates the poor and loves the rich. Besides, I think Zhuo Ran is a good husband with a bright future, and there will definitely be good girls willing to marry him. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Before my words fell, Zhuo Mu's eyes lit up again when she looked at me. An ominous premonition swept through my heart, and sure enough, Zhuo's mother said: "White girl, from the first time I saw you, I like you very much, and I see that your impression of Ran'er is also good, otherwise, you will be my daughter-in-law!"
