I don't know how long it took, the light in front of Hu Shijiu's eyes became darker and darker, and the light reflected on the bowl changed from a bright point to a dim spot.

She slowly raised her head and rubbed her swollen and sour eyes. only to find that the guys next to him were almost the same behavior.

Is the weather about to change?

"Tengu Eclipse Day! Tengu Eclipse Day! Someone outside shouted loudly. Immediately after, a messy percussion sounded, and soon, in all directions, gongs and drums were noisy.

The men dropped the dishes and bowls in their hands and stood in the courtyard at a loss.

The sudden darkness always makes people helpless and frightened.

I don't know how long it took, the sun, like a tired old man, struggled to remove the black veil that covered all its countenance.

The crowd cheered, "Tengu has run!" Tengu ran away......"

The cheers were like echoes, with the joy of the rest of the catastrophe. The old man in the drunkard building stood in front of the window, the last time, when was it? At that time, was Aning so frightened that he cried in his arms?

The room returned to light, and Hu Shijiu blew out the candles, "Master." ”

The old man turned his head, and A-Ning's shadow gradually faded.

In the hustle and bustle just now, Hu Nineteen couldn't see his fingers

, actually with her excellent sense of smell, groped all the way to the room where the old man was-

"Master!" Her crisp voice brings a ray of life to this closed and dull space.

The old man's face was reflected in the candlelight, haggard and lonely.

Aning's shadow seemed to coincide with the girl in front of her.

As if he had never expected Hu Shijiu to appear at this moment, the old man, who was a "master", wanted to reproach her, but at that moment, they turned into surprise and comfort.

The old man stumbled forward quickly, stretched out his arm across a table, seemed incredulous but full of anticipation, the old man's lips moved, "Ning, Ning......"

"It's me, nineteen."

In the faint light of the candle, the old man's remaining illusions were like beautiful bubbles. Hu Shijiu clearly knew that the "Ningning" in the old man's mouth was not himself, but the beloved daughter he lost many years ago.

For a moment, she almost wanted to nod her head in response, perhaps, that would give the old man's heart a moment of comfort.

However, Hu Shijiu was afraid that the ensuing reality would be like a sharp awl, piercing all the beautiful but never-realizable illusions, and people had to suffer great disappointment again.

"Nineteen ......" The old man opened his blank eyes, as if trying to distinguish who the child in front of him was.

Master, maybe I'm really tired......

"Master, it's me, Shen Nineteen."

A master, a thousand kindnesses.

A teacher for one day, a father for life.

In the eyes of the old man of the "Nineteen ......", the deep sorrow and confusion gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a kind of lost brilliance, which burned in the eyes of the old man, as if he was using life as fuel......

"Nineteen." The old man called.

The voices of the crowd outside the window rose higher and higher, the difference was that when Hu Shijiu entered the house just now, the people howled with fear, and at this time they turned into shouts of joy.

"Kid, how did you find here?" The old man sat down slowly, his face faintly gray. I don't know if it's the light or something else......

Just now, when Hu Shijiu entered the house, it was still dark outside the window.

"I ......"

"It's the sense of smell." The old man had already guessed, nodded and laughed.

Hu Shijiu has often wondered recently whether it is a curse or a blessing for her to show an unusual sense of smell too early.

However, in front of the old man, she didn't want to hide anything.

The old man's smile made the last doubt in Hu Shijiu's heart brighten up little by little, like the light in this room......

"Nineteen, what are you doing with me?" As the light in the room gradually brightened, A-Ning's shadow slowly thinned, and Hu Shijiu's outline appeared clearly in front of the old man's eyes.

"Protect you." Hu Shijiu pinched the token in his sleeve and blurted out. However, seeing that the old man had returned to his former appearance, she felt that she seemed to be too nervous.

"Protection? I? The old man seemed to hear a very interesting conversation, but he did not smile heartily as before. On the contrary, he thoughtfully said, "Good boy ......"

This child is a genius, sentient, and righteous.

"Since you want to protect your teacher, you need to be more cautious in your actions." The old man said with a pun.

"Yes."

This token, yet, or not yet?

"Nineteen," twilight was approaching, and the translucent bright-tiled panes seemed to be darkening a little, a little. "Do you hold a grudge as a teacher?"

"Hold a grudge?" These two words suddenly made Hu Shijiu forget the entanglement in her heart just now, and she didn't understand why the old man would describe their master-apprentice relationship like this.

Does the master think that he will wash the dishes in the water room?

"Of course not, today is the nineteenth mistake." She replied sincerely.

What the hell is a child......

"The state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules." The old man followed Hu Shijiu's words and said, "There will be another time, and half of the salary will be deducted!" ”

As soon as she heard that her wages were going to be deducted, Hu Shijiu suddenly became even more nervous, and she hurriedly waved her hand, "Shijiu doesn't dare anymore!" ”

"Okay." The old man couldn't see Hu Shijiu's expression as if he was on fire at every turn when he mentioned money.

This kid is good at everything, but he seems to be too nervous.

"Nineteen, that secret wine cellar," the old man said, observing Hu Nineteen's expression.

Surprisingly, Hu Shijiu did not have a trace of panic, she concentrated, and even put her hand lightly on the table, waiting seriously for the old man to continue.

This kid is really funny. Is this the so-called "wise and foolish"?

The old man was a little pity, and his tone naturally slowed down a lot, "Another day, I'll take you again." You have to memorize the route there without any mistakes. ”

"You can't use your sense of smell alone, you have to use it here." The old man pointed to his heart.

The old man was worried that Hu Shijiu's sense of smell would be affected by the strong aroma of wine in the cellar after passing through the tunnel.

"Intentions?" Hu Shijiu repeated softly, she tilted her head slightly, like a little fox who had strayed into the world, her eyes were full of confusion.

"Yes, attentively."

Everything in this world can be seen with your eyes, heard with your ears, smelled with your nose, and tasted with your mouth. However, they are all for your heart.

Hu Shijiu seems to understand whether he understands or not. No one ever told her to do so.

In Fox Mountain, in the past few hundred years, Fox Jun Bai Ling has always been from Hu Shijiu's temperament, but he has never told her to use her "heart".

Time passed, and the house was dark again.

Night, like an uninvited guest, with a hideous engulfing all, covers the city under its wings. Everything, exhausted. Everything is ready to move.

There isn't much time left.

The old man walked to the candlestick and lit the lamp that had been extinguished just now.

"Nineteen, if one day, the drunkard building is in trouble, and there is a secret wine cellar, after everyone has fled, you will open the gate and divert water and escape through the secret passage."
