Chapter 20: Friends
"You're kidding me?" Lu Wu was about to hit Hu Nineteen on the head with a chestnut blow, but Hu Nineteen dodged it sideways. The two couldn't help but look at each other and laughed.
"I say, what can happen to you, a dead girl, to cry like this." Lu Wu slammed the rice bag in his hand for a while, leaned against the wall and said lazily.
Hu Shijiu smiled and nodded, "Yes, I won't cry." ”
When he was panicked, the moment he suddenly saw Lu Wu, Hu Shijiu didn't know why he almost didn't hold back his tears. Therefore, she could only hug her arms tightly and cover her cheeks to prevent herself from crying in front of Lu Wu.
However, the sound of "dead girl" made Hu Shijiu's mood indescribably warm. Therefore, at that moment, she decided to put away her fragility and face Lu Wu with a bright smile.
Why cry? In this life, everyone in Han Mansion is still alive. And she, Hu Shijiu, not only has relatives, but also friends. Cry? On such a day, no matter how bitter it is, you will wake up with a smile.
After a few days of separation, Hu Shijiu found that Lu Wu seemed to be a little different.
"Huh? What about the handkerchief that was given to you last time? ”
Lu Wu's face seems to have never been clean since Hu Shijiu saw him. Hu Shijiu kindly made him a handkerchief converted from old clothes and asked him to use it to clean himself.
It seems that the handkerchief was given for nothing.
"Handkerchief? Master never used that. Lu Wu said with a grin, his cheeks, which were originally mottled, were now a piece of dust and mud.
"Give it back to me."
"Lost." Lu Wu threw the rice bag high and caught it, "Why don't you go buy rice yourself?" ”
Hu Shijiu's smile became a little gloomy, she subconsciously turned her head to the side, and Lu Wu couldn't see her expression clearly at the moment.
Soon, Hu Shijiu raised a smile again: "I just don't want to go." ”
"That's right." Lu Wu raised his eyebrows and folded his arms: "Didn't you dare to go because you did something?" ”
"It's not."
It's not that you don't dare, but you can't.
"Who are you hiding?" Lu Wu even had a feeling that he vaguely felt that this carefree little girl was not as simple as her age seemed.
He narrowed his eyes and asked, Hu Jiujiu suddenly felt that he was very similar to the fox monarch Bai Ling at this moment. Although one loves beauty to the point of being almost clean, the other is even perfunctory in washing his face.
"Hmm." For the only friend in this life, within the scope of permission, Hu Shijiu is reluctant to tell lies.
"Okay. I'm going to buy rice. Lu Wu didn't ask any more, and took the copper plate in Hu Shijiu's hand, and the rice bag was loosely held in his hand: "I'll help you this time." In the future, will you keep hiding? ”
Hu Shijiu did not speak.
In the hurry of Xinghua downstairs and Han Mochen, this person who is closest to him in the world, is now a stranger.
She just wanted to be fully prepared to save Han Fu, however, she didn't know how to face Han Mochen.
Miss him? Always.
Do you miss him? Engraving.
Hu Jiu couldn't even tell if it weren't for Han Mochen, would she beg Bai Ling to spend such a big price to save that cold Han Mansion.
Han Mochen, to her, is gracious.
"Forget it, you think about it slowly." Lu Wu looked at Hu Shijiu in a daze, raised his hand, thought about it, and finally didn't play her head, but looked at Hu Shijiu deeply. "Don't run around, wait for me here."
Hu Shijiu nodded.
"Lu Wu!" Hu Shijiu seemed to have woken up from a big dream.
She stretched out her hand to grab Lu Wu, Lu Wu flickered, there seemed to be something flashing in his sleeve, Lu Wu took a step back and shook off Hu Shijiu, quickly blew the leaves in his mouth, and made a strange whistle.
After a moment, he carefully touched the cuffs, and his face gradually returned to normal.
"What's that?" Hu Jiu found that the thing in Lu Wu's sleeve seemed to be a living thing.
Lu Wu hesitated for a moment and handed the rice bag to Hu Shijiu, "Don't be afraid. ”
He raised his arm and called into his sleeve, "Little Black, come, meet your new friend." ”
A swarthy little snake poked out its triangular head, hissing and spitting letters, and a faint fishy smell made Hu Shijiu twitch the tip of his lower nose imperceptibly.
The smell of this venom was all too familiar to her. Fox Jun Bai Ling once allocated her a few little snake demons in Fox Mountain who had just cultivated into essence, and this smell was on her body, but it was much stronger.
It is said that these snake demons are extremely poisonous when they are not yet immortals, so they can often escape the hunt of other creatures, although when Hu Shijiu is still a fox, the snake demons will often flee when they see her.
And the little snake in front of him, after being with people for a long time, already has some spirituality.
Hu Shijiu tentatively stretched out his hand slowly.
Lu Wu "snapped" and slapped her hand, "Don't make trouble!" Little Black is poisonous! ”
"Don't worry." Hu Shijiu showed a mischievous smile, "Xiao Hei, come." ”
She reached out again to touch the little black snake, Lu Wu frowned, and cautiously pressed his other hand lightly to the position behind the snake's head. If the black snake attacked Hu Nineteen, he would be able to stop it immediately.
Unexpectedly, when Hu Shijiu reached out and touched the snake's head, the black snake suddenly rushed to Hu Shijiu's wrist like lightning.
"Be careful!" Lu Wu stretched out his hand to hold down the black snake's seven inches.
"It's fine!" Hu Jiu hurriedly turned sideways to protect the black snake, and the black snake snaked up her arm.
"It's actually currying favor with you......" Lu Wu's mouth was open enough to accommodate an egg, and the extremely poisonous black snake did not attack the girl in front of him as expected, but rubbed Hu Nineteen affectionately with its triangular head, and even, closed its mouth tightly, as if he was afraid that his fangs would hurt her.
"Hell." Lu Wu blinked.
It's not a ghost, it's a fox.
Hu Nineteen stroked the cold and slippery body of the black snake, and the black snake looked very enjoyable, constantly rubbing Hu Nineteen's wrist with his head.
"Xiao Hei, let's play with you another day." Hu Nineteen lightly tapped the head of the black snake, and the black snake raised its head and seemed to rub Hu Nineteen reluctantly.
Hu Shijiu gently hung the black snake on Lu Wu's hand, Lu Wu was already stunned to see this scene, he suspected that he must be sleepwalking in broad daylight.
He raised his arm high and carefully observed the black snake: "Little Black?"
When the black snake left Hu Shijiu, he looked sluggish.
"You're really a little black? It can't be a grass snake, right? Lu Wu stretched out his hand to touch the snake's head like Hu Shijiu, and the black snake opened its mouth with a "hiss", and the venom glistened on the snake's teeth.
Lu Wu immediately retracted his hand, "I know, I know, people don't play with you, what are you angry with me." ”
The black snake no longer paid attention to Lu Wu, and slid down his wrist into his sleeve with a "snort", as if he immediately entered a state of hibernation.
"You ......" Lu Wu knew that this snake named "Little Black" was extremely venomous, and never hibernated. At the beginning, I also struggled to get it.
At this time, looking at the black snake with a great change in temperament, Lu Wu couldn't help but look at Hu Shijiu with admiration.
"Girl, who the hell are you?" Lu Wu looked at Hu Shijiu holding the rice bag with a smile, and was about to walk out of the alley, when he suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her.
Lu Wu's voice was a little unfamiliar.
"Shen Jianing." Hu Shijiu stood still and replied frankly.
"Shen-Jia-Ning."
Lu Wu slowly repeated Hu Shijiu's name in the world.
"This time, you didn't lie to me." Lu Wu looked at Hu Shijiu's eyes, said word by word, and then turned sideways to give way.
"I'm sorry." Hu Shijiu didn't leave immediately, but just looked into Lu Wu's eyes. At the time of the destruction of the temple, Hu Shijiu, out of wariness of strangers, did not tell Lu Wu her real name. And at this moment, can "Shen Jianing" be counted as his real name? Hu Shijiu felt a little guilty about Lu Wu in his heart.
"Forget it." Lu Wu avoided Hu Shijiu's gaze. On that day, although Lu Wu suspected that Hu Shijiu did not tell the truth, he did not ask questions. It's just that today's relationship between Hu Nineteen and the Black Snake made him reborn his vigilance.
On a tree not far away, an unknown bird chirped.
It was supposed to be a good weather, but a haze rose in the hearts of the two.
"Give me the bag of rice." After being silent for a long time, Lu Wu spoke.
"Huh?" Hu Shijiu didn't expect Lu Wu to say this.
On the head, the sturdy one received another blow.
"In the future, don't lie to me." The corners of Lu Wu's mouth curled.
"Okay." Hu Shijiu didn't smile and nodded seriously.
The orange sunlight shone on Hu Shijiu's body, and Lu Wu lost his mind for a moment. He suddenly felt that this might be good.
"It's time for me to go buy rice." Hu Jiujiu didn't notice Lu Wu's gaffe, she looked up at the sky, the sun was gradually setting in the west, she grabbed the rice bag, and prepared to leave.
Lu Wu looked at her inexplicably.
"Lu Wu, thank you. I figured it out. A faint smile bloomed on Hu Shijiu's cheeks, and then, getting bigger and bigger, Hu Shijiu's eyes crooked.
"Ah," Lu Wu touched his nose, "It's good to figure it out." ”
Suddenly, there was a slight pain in his forehead. Hu Jiu jumped up and imprinted a chestnut on his forehead.
"Don't act like a little old man." As he spoke, Hu Shijiu had already bypassed Lu Wu and turned around and made a big grimace.
"Hey!" Lu Wu raised his fist to protest Hu Shijiu's presumptuousness.
Hu Shijiu learned the appearance of Lu Wu, tilted his head, shook his hand in the air, took a big stride, and walked out of the alley steadily.
To Lu Wu, Hu Shijiu couldn't tell what mood he was. Sometimes, he's his friend, but sometimes, he's like a child. In the final analysis, hundreds of years of fox age gave Hu Shijiu a sense of vicissitudes. Although, her time as a "person" is only more than 20 years.
Lu Wu looked at Hu Shijiu's thin back that was gradually moving away, lowered his head and thought about it, but still stepped forward quickly, maintaining a distance of a few meters from Hu Shijiu, and followed her unhurriedly.
Hu Nineteen only did not see it.
After a while, Lu Wu stopped again, shook his head with a smile, and turned to leave.
And Hu Shijiu, who had been walking in front and never looked back, also slowly smiled.
Lu Wu, I'm glad to know you.
