Chapter 19 Spending the night in the old temple

Sometimes, that's how the crow's beak works・・・・・・

When the boy in white arrived at the city gate, the city gate had already been closed, and his scholar was still far away from him, and he drove his horse to turn around and walk for a while, and the scholar caught up.

On horseback, his whole body was shaken up and down, and he tightened the reins and stopped in front of the man in white, panting and sweating: "Childe, what are you doing so quickly!" I'm tired of chasing! ”

He led the horse to the direction of the city gate and walked two steps, and when he looked at it, he said "ah" in annoyance: "I rushed so desperately, why didn't I catch up with the city!" ”

The scholar turned around and glanced at the silent master, who was staring in a certain direction with his eyebrows raised, so he also looked over: "Childe, is there anyone like us who didn't catch up with the time to enter the city?" ”

In the woods, which are not too green, there is a temple faintly visible, it seems that there are still a lot of people and horses, and the light of the torches is flickering between the trees like fireflies in the gradually darkening sky, it is conceivable that this team of people and horses is also moving in the direction of the temple.

"Let's go! Let's also spend the night in the temple and go back to the city tomorrow morning! The boy in white tugged at the reins of the horse, and the horse slowly entered the woods with small steps, and the scholar did not dare to say more, but quietly closed his mouth and followed behind the boy in white.

When the master and servant reached the bottom of the steps in front of the temple, before they could dismount, two people who looked like guards stopped them: "Who is coming?" ”

The man in white turned over and dismounted, gave the reins of the horse, arched his hand at the two of them, and said, "The two eldest brothers, we have delayed the trip on the road to the scholar and have not made it to the city, can you let us go to the temple to rest for a night, and we can enter the city tomorrow?" ”

The two guards glanced at each other and nodded to each other, one of them hurriedly ran into the temple, and the other saluted the boy in white, "There is a young lady in the temple, so you still need to ask for instructions, please don't be impatient!" ”

At this time, the placket on the chest of the man in white moved, and then a little white velvet head poked out, with a pointed nose and round eyes, it was clearly a little fox! Perhaps because he felt that the hair was messy, the little fox poked out his head and stretched out his two front paws to brush the messy hair, which caused the boy in white to chuckle and raise his hand to stroke the fur on his forehead.

After his movements, the guard standing opposite also saw the thing in his arms clearly, thinking of what the captain said today, the young lady seemed to want a little fox as a pet, and a thought came to mind.

Before his companion came out, the guard pointed to the little fox in the arms of the man in white and said, "If the boy can give this fox to my young lady, I think the young lady will agree to let you enter the temple to rest." ”

"This temple is not your young lady's, why do you want our son-in-law to exchange this little fox for it so that he can go in and rest!" The scholar shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Nanshu! Don't be rude! The boy in white reprimanded the scholar in a low voice, and said slightly apologetically: "I can't hide it, this little fox was met on the way down, and I took it in because it was lonely and pitiful, but there was a mark between its eyebrows, which obviously had an owner, so I beg your forgiveness for not giving it to Miss privately!" ”

The guard wanted to say something, and the companion who entered the temple to ask for instructions trotted out, and he was immediately silent, and the guard ran to them and stopped, respectfully bowed to the white-clothed son, and said, "Miss, please enter the temple to rest!" ”

The boy in white thanked him, pressed the little fox's head back, and walked slowly towards the temple gate, and when the scholar behind him passed by the guard just now, he snorted, raised his chin, and quickly followed the boy in white into the door.

Just before entering the door, the man in white glanced at the plaque on the temple door, which read: "Yuelao Temple". But when I entered the door, I found that the inside had long been dilapidated, obviously deserted for a long time, the old statue of the moon was draped in cloth and silk hanging obliquely, the surrounding columns, dust and cobwebs were dense, there was a pile of hay in the corner, and a girl in a scarlet dress was spreading a blanket on the hay, thinking that it should be the "Miss" in the mouth of the guard outside the door.

The boy in white walked to a stop a few meters behind the girl in scarlet clothes, and thanked him warmly: "Miss kindly took in the next and the scholar, I am really grateful for it!"

The girl in the scarlet dress was startled by his sudden voice, turned around and patted her chest, "I'm scared to death!" ”

didn't wait for the boy in white to apologize, but heard her "huh": "Childe just called me Miss?" She laughed a few times with her mouth covered, and pointed in the direction of the temple gate: "That is my young lady!" Childe wants to thank you or go to our young lady, I can't stand it as a maid! ”

"Sorry, that's rude!" Nodding at her, the man in white looked in the direction of the temple gate, behind the dilapidated temple gate where the vermilion paint had fallen, there was a girl in white standing, from his point of view, she was staring at the wall, as if she was looking at something.

The long hair is like a waterfall like ink, only a gold and red jade is pinned between the hair, and a lotus purple belt around her waist shapes her figure, graceful and slender, before she can see her appearance, the man in white is stunned in place.

"Childe, you are wearing white, and this young lady is also wearing white, isn't it your fate?" The scholar jokingly looked at his son's stunned expression and teased.

Xu heard their conversation, and the girl turned around, her delicate little face, a smile blooming at the corner of her lips, and she suddenly disappeared when she saw the boy in white.

How is he?

Liu Rumo wondered in his heart, did he know that Yuebai was gone, so he made a special trip to find her?

"Thank you for this young lady for taking her and the scholar to rest here!" The man in white smiled at her gently and politely.

Liu Rumo now understands that this man in white is not the man in the robe she met, that guy will not speak to her so politely, he will only use his profound spells to control those tables, chairs and benches in front of her, as if to show how strong his mana is!

"Childe doesn't have to say thank you!" Liu Rumo curtsied back, "Looking at the appearance of the son, I don't think I brought more blankets and other things, Qingya, spread another blanket to this son!" ”

"Yes, Miss!" Qing Ya responded with a smile, when she saw this son just now, she felt that he was better than the so-called "distinguished guest", at least he was as gentle as jade, graceful, and courteous, how could he be like that unlucky ghost!

When the boy in white heard this, he hurriedly excused himself and said: "Don't bother, it's enough for me and the scholar to stay here for one night, I really don't dare to bother Miss to give me a blanket!" ”

As soon as he waved his hand, the placket of his clothes was a little opener, and Yuebai saw that there was a seam, and struggled to poke his head out again, just in time to meet Liu Rumo's gaze, the new master?!!! Having discovered its new owner, it excitedly tugged at its front paws and moved in the placket of the man in white.

"This ・・・・・・ Yuebai?" Liu Rumo shouted tentatively, and the placket of the white-clothed boy was empty, and the little fox rushed straight into Liu Rumo's arms, rubbing in her palm with a gesture of goodwill.
