Chapter 9: Prophecy
Hu 19 sat on the bed with her hair scattered, she shook her head, only to feel extremely sore, a turn over and jumped out of bed, a few steps to the door, with a "squeak", the door was opened, the winter morning, with a clean and cold breath followed.
The courtyard was very quiet, and you could faintly hear the sound of snoring coming from the room.
Hu Shijiu looked up at the sky, a round of red sun was no longer as shy as in the morning, only a little bit poked out, golden, reddish sun, hanging high in the sky like a pickled duck egg yolk.
Haven't you gotten up yet?
Hu Shijiu looked back at the room in the middle of the courtyard and was stunned, she seemed to remember that Bai Ling came to accompany her for the festival last night, and later, the three of them went to a place called Xinghualou, and later, she heroically ordered Xinghualou's signature wine. Later, I seemed to talk a lot and sing......
She tiptoed to Bai Ling's house. She didn't know if the person inside was now the fox monarch Bai Ling, or the titular "father". She pressed her ear to the door and listened with bated breath. Although he knew that this was stupid, if it was really Fox Jun Bai Ling, he should find out in the first place.
However, Hu Shijiu still had a little luck, and in the room, the snoring became clearer and clearer. She tiptoed against the crack in the door, squinted one eye, and tried to look into the room.
"Haha!" There was a man laughing loudly.
Hu Shijiu was so startled that he immediately turned his head to run.
"Sugar! My sugar ......" the man's voice lowered again, interspersed with a few lip smacks.
It turns out that my brother is gone......
Hu Shijiu slowly sat on the steps with his arms crossed. Outside the door, there was a loud noise of laughter from an unknown family.
She sighed, finished washing herself listlessly, and hastily made breakfast, but in Shen Ling's room, only confused and evenly ordered snoring was heard.
Outside is becoming more and more lively, with the sound of people, birdsong, accompanied by bursts of aroma of food. The narrow courtyard of Hu Nineteen, which is getting more and more lined up, is even more lonely.
She involuntarily opened the door and walked down the bluestone alley for less than a few steps, and it was already a different world outside.
"Three eggs for a penny! Three eggs for a penny! "There was the lively clamor of hawkers.
"How much money is this rouge?" There are young women smiling smartly.
"Let's let, let's let ......" someone drove a half-new ox cart through the streets.
Hu Shijiu hurriedly dodged sideways. This qiΔ is like a lifetime, but it makes her linger.
No, it seems to be different.
Hu Shijiu rubbed her eyes, she suspected that she had not woken up from the residual wine last night. On the street, there are still pedestrians shuttling like clouds, but there is a line of small black letters floating on everyone's head.
"Miss Shen, get up early!" Suddenly, someone said loudly. Hu Shijiu couldn't help but shudder.
It was Li Erlang who spoke on the other side, and when he saw Hu Nineteen standing on the street unwillingly, he greeted him warmly. Unexpectedly, it seemed to frighten this girl who always smiled although she seemed to be poor.
In the previous life, Hu Shijiu didn't have much intersection with others because he was an orphan girl, but in this life, because of the company of Bai Ling and Yuhe, the small courtyard has a homely atmosphere. Hu Shijiu also gradually began to move around with his neighbors.
Hu Shijiu hurriedly returned the salute, Li Erlang was a little embarrassed, and pointed forward casually: "I'll go and grab medicine for my mother." And he hurried away. It's just that the small black characters above his head attracted all Hu Shijiu's attention - "A moment".
"A moment?"
It was nearly a quarter of an hour or so from this time, and she turned her head to look at the small words on the heads of the other people behind her, and it turned out that the small words on the top of everyone's heads were a line of small words indicating the time.
However, the chronological order is different.
The thin winter sun shines on the body, and there is some cold warmth. Hu Shijiu saw Li Erlang not far away, standing at the door of the pharmacy called "Tongshuntang", looking down for something in his sleeve.
Outside the main entrance of Tongshun Hall, several young men were struggling to carry the remade plaque and hang it on the door.
Hu Shijiu stared blankly. In the last life, what happened to Li Erlang and his family?
She vaguely remembered that when she later married into the Han Mansion and passed by her old residence once, she didn't seem to have seen this family......
Right now!
Suddenly!
A blink of an eye!
With the exclamation of the crowd! The boy who was standing on the ladder and holding the plaque made a mistake, his body couldn't help but crooked, and the heavy black plaque of Tongshuntang fell straight down like that!
"Be careful!" Hu Shijiu let out an exclamation!
She remembered! She remembered! The Li family didn't move out later!
However, just before Li Erlang could react, the plaque hit his head, and he didn't even say a word, like a soft sandbag, slowly falling down......
In the previous life, the Li family, died.
Hu Shijiu gritted his teeth tightly and stood stiffly in place.
The words on the top of Li Erlang's head disappeared......
It turns out that this word is the time limit for each person to go to death......
Why! You can't have found out sooner! If you understood it from the beginning, then Li Erlang would not have died!
The person who was still talking to himself just now disappeared into this world in the blink of an eye.
After Hu XIX's reincarnation, for the first time, he experienced death.
She stumbled home, closing the courtyard door tightly.
In the courtyard, he had just woken up, waiting for Shen Ling, who was noisy with sleepy eyes.
Hu Shijiu leaned his back against the courtyard gate, and Li Erlang's figure always appeared in front of him. One moment it was his warm greeting, and the other moment, the whole person, just like that, fell softly......
Puzzled and aware of Hu Shijiu's abnormality, he hurriedly stuffed the steamed bun in his hand to Shen Ling. After patting him a few times soothingly, he came to Hu Shijiu with a probe and whispered, "What's the matter?" We were discovered? β
Among the three people, Hu Shijiu is a human body, and Shen Ling is the doppelganger of Hujun, only confused, and he uses illusion to transform into a human form on weekdays. Therefore, when he saw Hu Shijiu like this, his instinctive reaction was that his identity was exposed.
Hu Shijiu's eyes were straight, cold sweat ran from his sideburns to his neck, and his body seemed to be drenched. The heavy padded jacket was as cold and heavy as an iron coat at this time.
Confused and couldn't help but panic, he believed his guess more and more: "Miss Nineteen, don't be afraid, the old slave will take you back to Fox Mountain!" β
Fox Mountain?
Hu Shijiu's eyes finally focused, and she walked in a few steps to Shen Ling, who was concentrating on eating steamed buns, "This is the gift you gave me?" β
She was furious and stared at Shen Ling, who was as ignorant as a child. Shen Ling was eating steamed buns for a rare time, and was so frightened by Hu Shijiu that the steamed buns fell to the ground.
He pursed his mouth and wanted to cry, but when he saw Hu Nineteen in front of him, somehow, he just obediently lowered his head and picked up the steamed buns stained with soil. and flatteringly handed it to Hu Shijiu, "Give it to you." β
"Why didn't you sue me earlier!" Hu Jiuqing knew that Shen Ling was just a doppelganger of Fox Jun Bai Ling, but his heart was uncomfortable. She reached out to wipe away the tears that had not yet fallen, and ran back to her room quickly, casually "Boom! The door slammed shut, and the tiles on the eaves were shaken and kicked up a puff of dust.
Shen Ling was stunned for a moment, and muttered in a low voice, "Such a good steamed bun......" He just wanted to continue to put it in his mouth, but somehow, after thinking about it, he carefully put it on the plate. "When you're angry, you're hungry even more......"
Straight to the side of the confusion and look at the head of the head and nodded, I don't know what happened to Miss Nineteen today, but this doppelganger of Lord Fox Jun is also quite distressed Miss......
Hu Shijiu sat in front of the mirror irritably, and the girl in the mirror was also frowning at her.
This qiΔ is like a strange dream. However, he is the protagonist of the dream, but he can't do anything. It's a really bad feeling......
She stared at herself in the mirror, could she be reborn with great difficulty, and be willing to be so muddy?
After a long time, Hu Shijiu shook his head unconsciously.
Perhaps, she shouldn't blame her brother.
After all, he gave himself such abilities, but he couldn't use them. Li Erlang's death had nothing to do with Bai Ling. If he had been a little earlier, a little earlier, perhaps, Li Erlang would not have died in that way......
Myself, still too impulsive......
Hu Shijiu looked out, outside the house, quietly.
Trying to show a smiling face that was not too ugly in the mirror, Hu Shijiu took a breath, stood up and walked to the door.
I must have scared "Dad" just now.
"Oops!" As soon as Hu Shijiu opened the door, he fell into the room in confusion.
"You!" Hu Shijiu couldn't cry or laugh. "Where's my dad?" She decided not to be confused and calculated, and asked naturally.
Hearing Hu Shijiu call Shen Ling like this, he hurriedly turned around and stretched out his hand to pointβ"Master! β
Confused and didn't dare to look up at Hu Shijiu, for fear that one would not pay attention and annoy her again. It's just that when I heard Hu Shijiu call Shen Ling like this, I was overjoyed. It seems that Miss Nineteen has finally lost her temper!
At this time, Shen Ling was squatting next to the wall, still holding the steamed bun that had just been knocked down by Hu Shijiu in his hand.
When he heard that Hu Shijiu was looking for him, he immediately stood up, but he hesitated and hid his hand holding the steamed bun behind him.
"I'm a little hungry." Hu Nineteen seemed to be talking to himself.
"Here you go!" Shen Ling smiled widely, and he didn't seem to be so scared anymore. A few steps forward, and stuffed the steamed bun in his hand to Hu Shijiu.
"Sir!" Standing behind Hu Shijiu, he glanced at Shen Ling.
This doppelganger of Fox Jun seems to be really different, maybe because this morning's steamed bun is especially his appetite, at the moment when Hu Shijiu entered the house, this steamed bun experienced the experience of putting it on the plate, into the arms, putting it on the plate, and then entering the arms.
Several times, I saw Shen Ling swallowing saliva at the steamed bun. But I just don't eat it. For a while, the words in his mouth were carefully put into the plate, and after a while, he came to Hu Shijiu's door with a steamed bun. It seems that the master is going to leave this steamed bun that he thinks is "rare in the world" to Miss Nineteen.
It's just that......
After Shen Ling's "careful placement", this steamed bun has been kneaded more like an unruly piece of dough.
Confused and tentative, he said, "Miss Nineteen, why don't you get you something else?" β
"No need." Hu Shijiu pinched off a piece of steamed bread and said with a smile, "This steamed bun is really delicious." β
"I'll just say it!" Shen Ling smiled contentedly, and looked at the confusion triumphantly.
Confused and stunned, he nodded desperately: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" β
