"What little vixen, how old are you?" Su Li snorted coldly and jumped onto the tree by the river.

"Why am I telling you?" besides, why did you just step on my head?" the girl bit her lip and stared up at the tree.

"Hmph, just because you're ugly!" Su Li pulled out a fruit pit, smashed it on her head accurately, and then grabbed another one.

"Dead fox!"

The girl covered her head, quickly threw down the basket, rolled up her sleeves, hugged the trunk and climbed up.

Su Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed again in a blink of an eye, and mocked, "I didn't expect you to be a monkey!"

Seeing that the girl was about to grab his foot, he quickly jumped up and jumped onto the trunk of the tree next to him.

"You're cheating!" the girl shouted angrily at Su Li.

Su Li raised an eyebrow, "I didn't say that I would sit there all the time, who let you climb up on your own." ”

"You!"

The girl gave him a blank look, her cheeks bulging like a ball, so she had to sit down on the trunk of the tree where she had just sat down, patted her clothes, and ignored him.

In the middle of the fire, Su Li threw another kernel, but this time it hit the trunk of the tree.

The girl turned angrily, her round face gilded in the sun.

"What's your name?"

"Don't you know that you have to be polite to be a monster, you report your name first!" she pursed her lips and looked at Su Li dissatisfied.

"I am retrospective, retrospective, parting. "He wiped the fruit with his sleeve,

"My name is Hu Shu, your name is really ugly, do all fox spirits have such names?"

Hu Shu hugged the branch, climbed down the tree again, and picked up the basket.

Su Li saw her go down, and also jumped down, "Then what is your name, anyway, you won't live for many years." ”

Hu Shu ignored him, and hurriedly walked back with the basket on his back, it was almost dusk, and if he didn't go back, he would be scolded by his mother.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell, and two slender shadows were reflected on the ground, one after the other.

Su Li quietly followed her.

A town gradually appeared in front of me, bustling with people, a few vendors on both sides of the road, and a few horse-drawn carriages passing by slowly.

He hadn't been to a place with so many people before, and he had been watching it for a long time.

"Dead fox, you actually follow me!" Hu Shu leaned over to him and grimaced.

Su turned his head and looked at her mockingly, "It's not because of your ugliness." ”

Hu Shu was just about to refute, but he suddenly turned into a little fiery fox and jumped on her shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Hu Shu hurriedly looked around, and when she saw that no one was looking at her, she stuffed Su Li into the basket and hurriedly ran home.

In Hufu, a woman was anxiously waiting in front of the mansion, and when she saw the familiar figure running over, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Mother, I'm back!"

Hu Shu rushed into her arms, smiling happily.

The woman gently touched Hu Shu's head, and the two walked into the door talking and laughing.

There is a clear pond in the house, a small white jade bridge is erected on it, and further inside is the large courtyard in the house, along the way, people are smiling and saluting the mother and daughter.

Hu Shu's mother is Hu Kuo's three-room lady Wanping, who is gentle and virtuous on weekdays, and the people also respect her very much.

But because Wanping's background is relatively low, Hu Kuo doesn't attach much importance to her, and gives all the benefits to the children of the first two ladies' families. However, Wanping's health is not good, she always coughs, and it is useless to try many prescriptions, so Hu Shu goes up the mountain every day to go to the vegetable medicine, hoping to find the elixir.

The two entered the house, and Hu Shu hurriedly put down the basket, but did not see Su Li inside. Could this dead fox be lost?

"Auntie, I slipped out to collect medicine today, how many times has my mother said it, this disease is not in the way. Wanping sat on the chair and looked at Hu Shu with a little reproach.

Hu Shu took out the herbs in the basket and sniffed them carefully, "This time there is no mistake, mother is waiting, I will boil it and send it to you." ”

After saying that, he ran to his mother, kissed her, and then turned and ran towards the kitchen.

It is still in the form of a fox, walking slowly on the bridge, the lotus flowers in the pond are blooming, there is a faint fragrance, the fish are beating on the water, the scenery is beautiful, but compared to the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, this house is much smaller.

"Where did the fox come from? It smells of fox, don't you hurry up and beat it out!" A rude-looking woman picked up a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and waved her hand at the two subordinates beside her in disgust.

Su Li was a little annoyed, their Fire Fox and White Fox clans did not have a fox smell, and they were slandered and ridiculed by a human woman.

He leaped lightly, dodging the two men, his paws quickly scratching the woman's face.

"Ahh

"Don't chase it yet, I'll catch the fox today!" she kicked angrily at one of the men.

Hu Shu was boiling the medicine, the smoke was burning, she choked and coughed, she quickly poured the medicine into the bowl, ready to send it to her mother.

"Yo, my sister is boiling medicine for Mrs. Wan again. ”

Just now, the woman stood in front of the kitchen door and looked at Hu Shu with contempt.

She is Mrs. Zi's eldest daughter Hu Simei, who relies on her mother's favor on weekdays, and is arrogant and domineering in the house, especially looking down on Hu Shu's mother and daughter, and always tries her best to be strict with Wanping on weekdays.

Hu Shu ignored her, and walked out with the medicine. Si Mei knocked her bowl off, and the hot soup splashed Hu Shu's body.

"What are you doing!" Hu Shu grabbed her sleeve and pushed her down.

Simei fell to the ground, her back was very sore, she hurriedly stood up and looked at Ah Shu angrily,

"You wait for me!" After speaking, he shouted to find Lady Zi.

Hu Shu was a little sad, bent down to pack up, and finally picked up the medicine, so Si Mei was so sprinkled.

She walked out of the kitchen, the night was dark, the top of the treasure pavilion in the courtyard was shining faintly, there were a few guards guarding the door, Hu Shu climbed up layer by layer along the eaves.

She sat on the roof of the attic and looked up at the night sky.

Hu Shu is used to the treatment in the house, if it weren't for the fact that she couldn't let go of her mother, she would have gone away a long time ago, but even if she was used to it, she would still be a little sad occasionally, she gently pursed her lips and hugged herself.

"If she upsets you, why don't you kill her?" Su Li sat down beside her at some point.

She looked at Su Li, who had a high nose and thin lips, sharp, bright bloody eyes, and his long black hair draped behind his neck.

Although handsome, he is also angry.

"Kill, you monsters, are you all killing people casually?" she was a little dissatisfied.

Su Li looked at her, "We monsters, we will not have feelings for the enemy. ”

Hu Shu didn't speak, and pursed her lips tightly.

Su Li didn't taunt her this time, but said lightly: "The life span of human beings is very short, but it is only a few decades, if you have to be wronged for a lifetime, it is really not cost-effective." ”

Hu Shu stretched out her hand, "Suli, can we be friends?"

The girl in front of her seemed to have some expectation in her smart eyes, and she hesitated for a while, and slowly stretched out her hand.

"I'm reluctant, but I'm reluctant to accept it. He snorted coldly, and returned to his arrogant look.

Hu Shu returned to the house, but her mother was not there, and a maid ran over with a nervous look.

"Miss, Mrs. Wan, she is in the hall, it seems that she has been punished!"

When Hu Shu heard this, she quickly ran towards the hall.

The mother was kneeling in the hall, Madame Zi and her two daughters were sitting on the side, and Hu Kuo was sitting in the middle, sipping tea.

"Mother!" Hu Shu hurriedly ran over and wanted to pull her up, but Wanping just shook her head and didn't get up.

Madame Zi walked up to Wanping, and she was the same as Simei, full of charm.

She chuckled and looked down at the two of them, "Hushu, you beat Simei today, I think you are just a child, so I will only punish your mother for kneeling here." ”

Hu Shu forcibly pulled her mother up, and knelt down with a thud.

"If you want to punish me, my mother is not in good health, and please ask my father to speak for my mother and let my mother go back to rest!"

She bit her lip and fought back her anger as she looked at her father, who had never looked at her in the eye.

Hu Kuo is a burly general, but he tends to be inflammatory, and he is very unlikable in the court.

"It's not early, except for Hu Shu, everyone will go to rest. Hu Kuo waved his hand,

"Ashu!" Mrs. Wan was reluctant to leave, Lin Kuo glanced at Wanping angrily, asked a few people to forcibly send Mrs. Wan away, and took Mrs. Zi back to the room by himself.

Hu Shu didn't want to kneel all the time, but Lin Kuo arranged a subordinate next to her and kept staring at her.

She could only keep kneeling down at sunrise, and her whole eyes were dark, and she fell to the ground in a daze.

She seemed to feel someone gently pick her up, and the man's arms were a little cold, and she flinched for a moment, and then fainted.

The man in white looked at Hu Shu in his arms, his brows furrowed slightly, today is the day for him to worship his deceased, but he didn't expect to come early in the morning to see this scene.

"Eh! I didn't expect the immortal to come so early, it's really a long way to come!" Hu Kuo's sleepy eyes were hazy, and he hurried over with Mrs. Zi, Mrs. Xiao, and three children.

The man took a step back, not seeming to like contact with others, and there was no expression on his delicate face.

Hu Kuo smiled awkwardly, and when he saw Hu Shu in his arms, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to pick it up.

The man was just about to stretch out his hand, when he was suddenly bounced away by a sword qi, and the whole person flew out and hit the pillar.

The man looked at Hu Kuo, his eyes still cold.

"This time, I still came to worship the old man, I don't want to see this scene in the morning, you are really a good father. He hugged Hu Shu, ignored everyone, and walked towards the sacrifice hall.

He bent down, put Hu Shuping aside, knelt down in front of the altar, and touched her brow again.

Hu Shu slowly opened her eyes and rubbed her knees and sat up.

"You...... Are you?"
