"Master, where's Uncle Wei Xuan?" Xing Ruyi yawned: "Why do you get up early in the morning and people disappear?"

"He's gone."

"Gone? Where did it go? ”

"I guess I'm going back to his hometown."

"Where is his hometown?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask."

"That'...... Where are we going? ”

"Where do you want to go?"

"Master's hometown." Xing Ruyi's eyes were bright: "Master, my aunt is also gone, right?" ”

"Ruyi—"

"Actually, if the master doesn't say it, I know that my aunt is gone." Xing Ruyi smiled and turned her back, but the moment she turned around, her eyes turned red: "I really don't remember what happened that night, but I'm not stupid, so many people are dead, how can my aunt live." ”

"Ruyi, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"It's okay, the master doesn't need to explain, Ruyi is not a three-year-old child, how can he not understand that the master is doing good for Ruyi. Before, I didn't ask the master because of Daddy. Ruyi thought, even if A-Niang is gone, there is still Daddy. Now, Daddy is also dead, and Ruyi has no relatives in this world. ”

"You have!"

"Yes, Ruyi and the master!" Ruyi turned around quickly, her eyes were still red, but she still had a smile on her face: "Before last night, Ruyi was still sad and sad, and she didn't want to accept that there was only one person left in this world. But when I fell asleep at night, Ruyi had a dream. Ruyi dreamed of Daddy, dreamed of Auntie, dreamed of many people in the town, and finally, Ruyi dreamed of the master. When he opened his eyes, Ruyi figured it out, even if Daddy and Auntie were gone, Ruyi would not be lonely, because there was still a master. Master, will always be with Ruyi, right? ”

"Yes!"

"Then take Ruyi back to the master's hometown." Xing Ruyi walked over and hugged the fox's arm: "Master's hometown must be very beautiful, right?" ”

"It's beautiful."

"Where will there be war?"

"No, it won't."

The people of Qingqiu can only fight, not fight.

"Where will there be death?"

"No, it won't."

There is no one in Qingqiu, so how can there be a dead person.

"Then what are you hesitating about, let's go quickly." Xing Ruyi said, let go of the hand holding the fox, and ran into the carriage in small steps. When he got into the carriage, he found that the fox was standing still. She beckoned, and the fox looked at her and smiled.

Seven years later, Qingqiu.

Qingqiu, all year round like spring, flowers everywhere, not a fairyland, but a fairyland on earth.

Not far from the fox hole, there is a stream. The water of the stream is crystal clear, but it is warm. There is a thousand-year-old peach tree beside the stream, and the roots of the peach tree grow from the bottom of the stream, which happens to divide the stream in two. Xing Ruyi has been studying for a year, but she has never learned to swim, so she can only lean against the roots of the tree and let the warm stream soak up to her chin.

The stream is crystal clear, but this is a fox hole, except for the people of the Yin family, no one will come here, but the Yin family, except for the fox, no one will come here. Therefore, even if Xing Ruyi only wears a thin gauze dress, he is not afraid of the danger of being looked at.

"I knew that Qingqiu was so good, I should have brought my father and aunt with me." Xing Ruyi closed her eyes and muttered: "However, even if I say it, Daddy and Auntie at that time won't believe it, right?" A-Niang can't do without her sauce shop, and she can't do without the people in the town who like to eat the sauce she makes. As for Daddy, he was willing to leave the town, but he was reluctant to give up his ideals - he couldn't enter the office, and he had to do what he could for the people of Limin. ”

Turned over, leaned on the peach tree, and let the warm stream flow quietly over her back.

The stream was like a weak, boneless little hand, soothing the tiredness of her body. After a while, she was a little drowsy.

The sound of the piano came from the other side. She opened her eyes suddenly, and took the roots of the old peach tree and looked over the stream.

A man in a white shirt sat cross-legged on a bluestone, a phoenix guqin rested on his lap, the sound of the piano flowed from his fingertips, and a pair of black eyes stared at her intently.

"Master!" She was startled, her feet slipped, and before she could call for help, her nose hit the root of the tree, and she followed her whole body and slid down the stream.

"Ruyi!" The fox threw the guqin, flew over, and fished her out of the stream in time: "Ruyi, are you okay?" ”

"What kind of piano do you play in broad daylight? Play the piano, play the piano, why do you still look at me with such eyes. Xing Ruyi coughed lightly, and grabbed the fox sleeve with both hands: "Master, did you deliberately bully me that I can't swim." ”

"It's not."

"Then why are you looking at me like that?"

"That's because my little Ruyi grew up."

"Growing up?" Xing Ruyi lowered his head, only then did he see his appearance clearly, and his face turned red.

It's also strange to say that when she first arrived at the request, she pulled the master into the water with her. At that time, I didn't feel that the master's eyes were wrong when he looked at him, and I didn't feel that I was embarrassed to wear thin clothes. But now, when the fox said she had grown up, she had a strange feeling. It's like shyness, but it's also like coveting some kind of expectation.

"It's been seven years, and if I don't grow any longer, I'll become a monster."

Sneaking a glance at the fox. He's still so good-looking. A waist-length white hair has been neatly tied behind him for the past seven years, with clear facial features on his handsome face, bright eyes, a tall nose, and even more beautiful lips, which makes people want to pinch it with their fingers.

"Master, why did your hair turn white when you arrived in Qingqiu? Say you're old, your face doesn't seem to have changed much. ”

"Disgusted with my old age?"

"No, I'm just curious about the master's hair."

"That's not like my gray hair?"

"No, on the contrary, I think the white-haired master looks better, just like a fairy in a painting."

"Almost." The fox took Xing Ruyi back to the bluestone, and casually changed a dress to put on with her: "I was originally white-haired, but I used a spell to cover it up when I was in the world. ”

"Is the master worried that those people will also think of the master as a monster?"

"It's not!"

"What's that?"

"Trouble! With white hair, it's easy to attract onlookers, and I don't want to be watched by those people, and I don't want to cause any trouble for myself because of my hair. ”

"Are there many people with white hair like Qingqiu like the master?" Xing Ruyi asked curiously.

It has been seven years since she followed the fox back to Qingqiu, but in the past seven years, she has only lived in the fox hole, and her daily movement is also in the stream. I have seen a few people, but they all came and went in a hurry, and I didn't pay attention to the appearance of others, but in my memory, those people were all the same black hair as her.

"Not much."

The fox is a white fox, and only when the white fox transforms into an adult will it have white hair, and there are only two white foxes in Qingqiu. One is his mother, who is also the fox queen of Qingqiu, and the other is himself. The Qingqiu Fox Clan is different from those fox spirits who have cultivated into demons outside, they have been standing at the end of their cultivation since they were born, and they are born with nine tails, with powerful mana and spiritual power. They don't need to follow some rules between heaven and earth, and they seem to be at ease, but in fact they are more strict in self-restraint. Just like him, if it weren't for Qingqiu's mutation, he would not have left Qingqiu and gone to human society, and met Xing Ruyi at that time. If he hadn't met Xing Ruyi, he wouldn't have returned to the Tang Dynasty by chance and returned to Qingqiu at this time.

The peaceful and peaceful Qingqiu is also what he longs for.

"What is the master thinking?"

"Nothing."

"Does the master still want to play the piano?"

"Do you want to hear it?"

"I don't want to." Xing Ruyi touched his nose: "I have self-knowledge, I have studied this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting for seven years, but in the past seven years, only I have a deep affection for them, but they don't even want to pay attention to me." Let's take the phoenix guqin as an example, in the hands of the master, it is the sound of nature, and in my hands, it is as noisy and ugly as playing cotton, and what is even more terrible is that I can listen to the sound of nature played by the master and doze off. ”

"It's not that they ignore you, it's that you still lack some fate with them." The fox said, brushing the guqin away.

Xing Ruyi doesn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the fox knows it, and let her study, but she just wants to hone her temperament.

"Want to go out for a walk?"

"Yes." Xing Ruyi nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "It's been seven years, master, you finally know how to take me out for a walk." ”

"It's not that I don't know, it's not that I don't want to take you out, but I'm worried that you'll be uncomfortable." The fox touched Xing Ruyi's head: "Seven years have passed, and you should be able to adapt to the climate here." ”

"It's a little different here." Xing Ruyi looked at the vegetation around him: "The peach blossoms here bloom all year round, and the peach trees only bloom and do not grow leaves, let alone bear fruit. The apricot blossoms both bloom and bear fruit, but they bloom for one day and bear fruit for one day, and when they come back to see it on the third day, the flowers fall and the branches give birth to many new flower bones. There are also the lotus flowers floating on the stream, all of them are very capricious, you say they bloom well, they bloom together, say they are not good-looking, they directly change from lotus flowers to lotus flowers, if they have not stayed in the stream, no nose and no eyes, I have to suspect that they have become sperm. ”

"Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" Xing Ruyi looked at the few clear lotuses floating in the stream: "It's just a pity, you said, if I take all the apricot trees and lotus flowers in this Qingqiu out and sell them, will I be rich." The apricot tree, which can bear fruit in two days, is distributed to those blind dates who live a very hard life by relying on the sky to eat, and there will be no one in this world who will be starved to death alive. ”

"Oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and oranges are born in Huaibei, and the apricot trees in this green hill, even if you take them out, you can't live." The fox held Xing Ruyi's hand: "Let's go, I'll take you around and meet my family by the way." ”
