Chapter 29: Wang Qingrong
The owner of the tea stall kindly re-brewed a pot of tea for the two of them, and asked Haokong to help Thirteen sit down, standing strangely tired.
It can be seen that the owner of the tea stall is not afraid of Thirteen, and the scene he has just witnessed is extremely scary to him.
Thirteen sat down, kept sniffing, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and didn't forget to avoid the handkerchief that Haokong wanted to reach over and wipe her tears for her.
For a while, Haokong didn't understand very well, what kind of trouble was Thirteen having with him, he could only be patient, and only when she voluntarily told herself, could he solve the doubts in his heart.
One person and one demon, saying goodbye to the tea stall owner, the tea stall owner also specially told Haokong to take good care of the little girl next to him.
At this time, Thirteen squinted at the tea stall owner and said in a fierce tone: "I'm a fox demon, old man, aren't you afraid of me... Eat you~"
As a result, the owner of the tea stall laughed directly, "You little fox demon, you speak in the same tone as my granddaughter." ”
did not play the role of intimidating the owner of the tea stall, Thirteen turned around in a huff and strode away quickly.
Haokong, who originally had a horse to ride, chose to sell the horse because the little silver he had left was lost to the owner of the tea stall.
In fact, they rarely stayed at inns along the way, and usually slept by the creek or river, mainly because the fox loved to eat fish.
My favorite is braised fish, and my favorite is grilled fish.
Haokong found that Thirteen was still losing his temper with him, and he didn't want to talk to him, nor did he want to stick to him and tell bad jokes.
He was very unaccustomed to such a thirteen, and wanted to talk to her first, but he didn't know what to say, so he was afraid that what he said would add fuel to the fire.
I haven't figured out what she's angry about, but what if she says the wrong thing and makes her even more angry.
Came to the edge of a small stream, the water of the stream was crystal clear, there were a few fish that could be seen clearly, Thirteen changed back to its original form, it was easier to catch fish, she was in human form, and her clothes were in the way.
In the past, Haokong went to catch fish in person, and Thirteen only needed to wash his face obediently on the side and wait for food, but now it is different, she is still letting Haokong experience what it means to be a friend.
I saw the crimson fox jumping into the stream, and by virtue of his instinct, he quickly caught a few fish, threw them to the side, and didn't talk to Haokong.
Fortunately, Haokong was very patient to make a fire, put a small jar of salt in his bag, cut the belly of the fish with a dagger, removed all the internal organs of the fish, inserted a clean branch, and slowly roasted the fish.
During this period, Thirteen did not return to his human form, but sat on the side in his original form, licked the water off his body, and then washed his face well, and sat down, looking at Haokong who grilled fish.
Neither one nor one fox wanted to speak first, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while.
At least that's how Haokong feels, he is really not used to such a silent fox, think about it this way, if he doesn't have her by his side along the way.
If he hadn't met her, it would have been useless for Zhao Xixi's incident to happen, he thought that he should be like other demon slayer now, believing in those four words to see the demon behead.
"Linglong, did I do anything wrong, you have been angry with me all the way." Finally, Haokong couldn't help it, took the freshly grilled fish, and prepared to put it in front of Thirteen.
The fox's big fluffy tail flicked up and down sharply twice, and its pale yellow eyes stared directly at Haokong.
"Haokong, didn't you say that I was your friend? As for us foxes, we have always liked to live alone, and we like to keep our distance from our companions. As long as there is an understanding person present, you can hear the meaning of the words.
Obviously, thirteen-year-old Haokong couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, he just felt that his heart was very uncomfortable.
But he respects what Thirteen says and begins to distance himself from her, and doesn't hug her anymore.
She was even more annoyed when she itched her teeth and couldn't take it back.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and because the silver taels have been used up on the way, Haokong has to use the identity of a demon exterminator to eliminate demons.
But while slaying demons, he will first listen to the client and the monster, what they say, and then make a judgment.
Every time, the client would look at Haokong who helped them with the same eyes as if they were looking at a monster, and this was the first demon slayer they met with a fox demon by his side.
It's also the first one.,Willing to listen to the detailed reasons why youkai do evil.。
Two years later, Haokong became famous, and more and more people heard about Haokong's deeds of eliminating demons all the way.
Naturally, this matter also spread to Lin Cheng, in the Lin clan's Demon Exterminator's Mansion, Lin Gaozhuo and Mrs. Lin heard about it, and it was Uncle Chen who first learned about it and told him.
"Master, madam, I heard that there is a demon exterminator, followed by a fox demon, all the way to the southwest, all the way to eliminate the demon, and he has a criterion for eliminating demons, he will choose to listen, the monster's explanation, and then make a decision, whether the monster should be killed or not."
The demon slayer who first heard such rumors all scoffed at it, thinking that such a rule was a joke.
Some people even think that if the monster lied and concealed the truth about the danger to ordinary people, but the demon slayer listened to the monster and let it go.
And where is the majesty of their other demon slayers? Wouldn't the reputation of other demon slayers be ruined because of his criteria as a demon slayer?!
However, in the past two years, the demon slayer who waited to see the joke did not wait for them to see the result, but the demon slayer who set such a ridiculous criterion became more and more famous
And ordinary people's perception of yokai is slowly changing step by step, and some people are even beginning to try to believe in some yokai.
Haokong has gradually moved from a thirteen-year-old boy to a fifteen-year-old, and his face, which was still a little green before, is slowly becoming more and more mature.
I also know more about what it means to be sophisticated, and I am becoming more and more stable in dealing with people, but even on the issue of feelings, I still don't know it, and I can't deal with the fox more and more naturally.
Two years ago, foxes said that they like to live alone and keep their distance from their companions, and this sentence has always been in his heart.
The distance from the fox is a full two years, and in these two years, he has focused on other monsters.
Some monsters who want to escape will be directly pressed to the ground by the claws of Thirteen Eleven and will not be able to move.
Whenever this happens, those youkai whose faces are trampled on by thirteen claws will communicate with words that demons and demons can understand each other, but mortals can't understand.
"You are a fox demon, everyone is a monster, you actually helped the demon slayer catch your own kind, you have no heart!" This is a sentence that a big yellow dog that has just cultivated into a demon said to Thirteen.
"The charming fox demon actually attacked his own kind, you have no heart!" This is what a rat demon who has been practicing for decades has said to Thirteen.
"Hey, I'm so cute, that demon killer is so handsome, I just want him to talk to me, you fox demon pounced and bit off a handful of my hair, you don't have a heart!"
This is a rabbit demon, in the form of a human woman, with moving tears shining in her eyes, what she said to Thirteen.
