Chapter 30: The Fox Girl (I)
In the late autumn season, the slightest coolness continues to spread from the ground to the world, and lingers around every creature like a ubiquitous ghost.
Early in the morning, Ah Rou was crowed by the sound of her own rooster, and Ah Xue and Jing Xin beside her were still asleep.
Looking out the window, the sky was already bright, the mist still lingered outside, and the crystal clear dew was still hanging on the window lattice, and a fresh breath accompanied by the cold.
Ah Rou stretched her arm out of the quilt and couldn't help but shrink back because of the coldness, and sat for a while, before she endured the sleepiness that had not been dispersed, and put on a thick autumn coat slowly, and did not forget to fold the quilt so that Jingxin on the bed would not catch a cold.
Then he cautiously walked to the door, opened it lightly, and closed it again lightly, without alarming any one in the room.
-
It wasn't until the third day of the day that Jing Xin, who had been shrunk under the covers, was woken up by the noisy sound outside the house. She opened her misty sleepy eyes and was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she had slept in Arou's bed yesterday.
Looking around again, Ah Rou and Ah Xue were not in the house, the window had been opened, and a thin cold wind was blowing through the window little by little. She couldn't help but wince and burrow into the warm bed.
The sound outside the house did not mean to stop at all, and after lying down for a while, Jing wanted to sleep for a while, but he was not sleepy at all, and felt empty and a little uneasy. After struggling for a while, he jumped out of bed.
All the fine hairs on Jing Xin's body in summer have receded, and this year's winter seems to have come very early, and the thick hairs in winter have not yet had time to grow. She really couldn't bear it anymore, and she was nervous and released some spiritual power to keep out the cold, feeling nothing unusual, but she didn't dare to use more spiritual power.
She walked to the door, quietly opened a crack in it, and looked out.
Ah Rou still sat in the yard as always busy with the work in hand, Ah Xue did not go out to play with others this time, but sat quietly next to Ah Rou to help. Xiao Wu seemed to have come to the backyard to get something, and was walking to the front yard with a suitcase. There was also a faint sound of Uncle Zhang talking to the guests in the shop.
After a while, after Xiao Wu walked over, Jing Xin was about to take advantage of the fact that no one else in the backyard went to Arou's side at this time, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming-
"Uncle Zhang, I'm here to find Arou." The voice was quite peaceful at this time, but in the blink of an eye, it became exaggerated and excited again, "Arou Arou! I'm coming! β
Alas, it's Lin Ling's crazy girl again.
Ah Rou was helpless, put down the things in her hand and stood up, but a happy smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
I saw Lin Lingfei running over and hugging Ah Rou's arm, and said to Ah Xue next to her: "Ha, Xiaoxue, good morning!" β
"Shall you leave now?" Arou asked.
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's go, didn't you make an appointment yesterday? After Lin Ling finished speaking, she pulled the two of them towards the door, and couldn't help but look back, "Where is your little fox?" Why didn't you see it? β
Ah Rou didn't know what to say back to her, and the three of them went out again talking and laughing.
Jing Xin was shocked when she heard them say this. Sure enough, did she feel that something was wrong when she woke up this morning, and she always felt that something had been forgotten, and she also made an appointment with Nightclothes to investigate the disappearance of everyone in the Ginkgo Biloba Courtyard.
It's over, I don't know when it is now, it must have been past the end of the day.
Jing Xin hurriedly ran to the house, found an outward window and jumped out.
I found the nearest way and ran quickly in the direction of the ginkgo courtyard, feeling very nervous.
He must have waited a long time! What if he doesn't go anymore and doesn't help himself when he gets angry?
It only took half a pillar of incense to run at the speed of Jingxin's speed along the way, but she felt as if hundreds of years had passed.
It wasn't until she turned the last corner and the ginkgo courtyard was not far in front of her that she slowly put her foot down. Because, she found that she was still a fox at this time, and she didn't even put away her five tails, and she had already caused a lot of commotion along the way, but she was too anxious at that time to notice it at all.
Her heart suddenly went blank, and now her scalp was numb and the muscles of her whole body tensed up compared to the anxiety she had felt before, because she saw that many people were already walking towards her, pointing and pointing.
There were already many whispers of the masses in my ears.
"ThisβThis is a fox with five tails?"
"Oh my God! The demon fox has reappeared! β
"These five-tailed foxes must not be a good thing!"
The bustling crowd suddenly stopped at this moment and surrounded Jingxin one after another. There seem to be a lot of people on the street today, and the dense human wall blocks Jingxin's sight, and she can't see the nightcoat and the ginkgo courtyard.
Jing Xin looked at the crowd in front of her, and the young scholars and women in the crowd, the farmers and butchers in the prime of life, the old mother-in-law and uncle, all stopped to look at her and point at her. or panicked, or unfazed, or gloating, in short, at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Jing Xinxiao's body.
Someone in the noisy crowd suddenly began to shout loudly, and gradually, more and more people began to echo.
They cried out:
"This fox demon coming to our Lotus Town will definitely bring disaster, this fox demon is unknown!"
"Yes, demons are brutal by nature, how can they be in the company of humans?"
"We must put it to death, it will bring us bad luck!"
"Kill it! Kill it! β
"Kill it! Kill it! β
Although the people shouted, perhaps because they were afraid of the identity of the Jingxin Fox Demon, no one dared to rush forward and do anything to her so far. However, this is only temporary, there are already strong young people in the crowd who have gone to get shovels and shovels, and want to execute the "demon fox" Jingxin on the spot.
For some reason, Jing Xin didn't have a little fear or panic in his heart now, but had an extreme desire to break through this crowd and go to the ginkgo courtyard, even if it was not Yan Qing who was waiting there but Yeyi.
Only when she heard the sentence "Demons are cruel by nature" did she feel a little angry in her heart, but she had to grit her teeth and endure it because she didn't want to hurt humans.
Jing Xin jumped around the human wall, trying to break through the crowd, but the crowd only backed away a little as she approached, and the human wall was still a human wall, leaving no space for her.
And Jingxin's regression and forbearance are just a struggle to the end in the eyes of everyone.
Until then, Jing still had hope in her heart that people would let her go, but it backfired.
There were even people who saw her for so long and had no other movement except to jump around, and their hearts were just like that, and there were even people who reached out and wanted to pull her tail.
Jing Xin glared at the visitor, but it seemed to the person to be extremely interesting, and it aroused his desire to come and play tricks.
She kept dodging, and the patience in her heart was constantly being consumed, and she was on the verge of exploding.
Finally, the man's hand finally grasped one of the five tails that Jing Xin kept swinging in the air.
