Under the guidance of Siniang, Xing Ruyi and the fox entered the bell's hut together, the light was a little dim, and only a bulge on the bed was faintly seen.

Just as I was about to take a closer look, I heard the crunch sound of a bell under the quilt,

"Sister-in-law, is Miss Ruyi here?"

"It's me, I heard Siniang say that you are sick, so come and have a look." Without waiting for Siniang to respond, Xing Ruyi had already responded, and the person also walked to the bed, only then did he see clearly that the bulge on the bed was the lively and cute little bell in the past.

When I got closer, I felt that she was thinner than before, and her face had a lot of spots, and when she spoke, her cheeks would automatically bulge outward, and she looked a little like a toad in the dry land.

"Bell, you tell Sister Ruyi, have you encountered anything strange recently, or stepped on something that shouldn't be stepped on?" Bell shook his head: "On weekdays, I help my sister-in-law at home and rarely go out. Siniang nodded on the side,

"Bell is young and lively, I am worried that she will get into trouble when she goes out, so I rarely let her go out, and the farthest is only to go to the nearby Zhangjia shop to help buy some oil and salt."

"That's weird." Xing Ruyi pondered, judging from the situation of the bell, she was obviously entangled by that kind of thing, but how could she provoke that thing for no reason?

Zhangjia salt shop? It should have nothing to do with there, although the Zhang family is a salt seller, but what they sell is a serious official salt, although the family background is not comparable to those rich merchants, but it is also a rich family, and the house and yard are also very particular, there should be no such thing.

"Bell, think about it again, didn't you really encounter anything special before and after you got sick?"

"Something special?" The bell's cheeks are still bulging, and seeing that Ruyi asked seriously, he recalled it seriously.

Half ringing, before it sounded

A soft sound of "Ahh A few days ago, my sister-in-law asked me to buy oil, and while I was waiting in the shop, I saw a frog, the size of a palm, but the appearance was a little strange, and the color was gray and abrupt. I was curious, so I touched it with my toes, who knew that it jumped up and jumped on my feet, I was scared for a while, so I jumped up and down in place, and when Brother Ah Guang came out with the oil bottle in the store, I realized that I had stepped on the frog. However, I apologized to it and said I would see it someday. ”

"Did you go see it, then?" Xing Ruyi asked.

"Nope." Bell shook her head

"I don't care about it these days, so I thought I'd wait until the next time I went to buy salt or oil. I don't know if it's because I've put this matter on hold in my heart, but when I was dreaming recently, I always dreamed of that frog, and sometimes it would turn into a boy my age in a gray cloth shirt. It keeps asking me, why don't you go and see it? Sister Ruyi, is my illness related to that frog? My sister-in-law said that I looked like a frog when I was sick, so she didn't let me go out for fear of scaring others. ”

"It's not a frog, it's a toad, and it's a stingy lazy toad." Xing Ruyi said angrily, leaned over and touched the bell's head after speaking: "Don't worry, Sister Ruyi will cure you, but you also have to promise Sister Ruyi, don't promise easily in the future, if it is a promise that has been made, you must fulfill it no matter what, this is not just a matter of integrity, if you encounter those who have little energy, curse you lightly, yawn and it will pass, and the heavy result will be unpredictable." Siniang's face turned pale when she listened to it, but she bit her lower lip slightly and didn't say anything more.

Coming out of the bell house, Xing Ruyi looked at the peach tree in the courtyard again, and gently tugged at the sleeve of the fox with his hand.

Zhang's shop is not far from the wine store, and there is a street in the middle, with four or five households, and the pattern is roughly the same as that of the fourth mother's family, but the family business is much larger.

The little toad is not difficult to find, it lies under the counter of Zhang's salt shop, lazily watching those who go in and out of Zhang's house to buy salt or grain and oil, and occasionally sees a pretty or cute little girl coming with an adult, so she stretches out her long tongue and licks it gently on the toes of others.

"I think I know where that phrase came from?"

"What?"

"The lazy toad wants to eat swan meat!" The fox was slightly stunned, but Xing Ruyi had already walked up to the toad, bent over, and looked at it with a smile.

The little toad looked up with two bulging eyes, the little eyes slipped over Ruyi's face, stretched out his legs, jumped elsewhere, and continued to lie lazily.

Xing Ruyi looked shocked, and pursed her lips hatefully: "Dead toad, you still can't look down on me, see how I clean you up." The hand stretched out, and when he saw the pimple on the toad's body, he shrank back again.

"Hey, fox, come on, it's ugly." The fox shook his head, but he didn't see how he moved, and the little toad that had been lying in the corner of the counter was gone.

On the outskirts, in the woods, Xing Ruyi and the little toad that had turned into a human form looked at each other.

"Tell me, what did you do to the bells?" Xing Ruyi clasped his hands on his chest and looked at the gray-clothed young man in front of him calmly, although he was not handsome and handsome, but he looked much better than when he was a toad.

"Bells? Who is the bell? I don't know. The little toad snorted softly, and his gaze swept over the fox, stained with a little fear.

Long ago, when the fox caught it, it knew that the fox was also a demon, and it was a demon that was much stronger than it, but it couldn't understand how such a powerful demon could be mixed with a person, and depending on the situation, the woman whose name was called Ruyi could still command the demon with a strong cultivation.

"Don't worry, I'll give you time to think about it." Xing Ruyi squinted slightly: "Let me ask you again, what did you do to the bell?" There's only one chance, and if your answer doesn't satisfy me, I don't mind having my bodyguard and servant pinch you to death with two little fingers. The little toad looked at the fox and shuddered slightly.

"Are you talking about the little girl with a string of bells on her body?"

"yes, that's her, honestly, what did you do to her?"

"I didn't do anything to her?" The little toad lowered his head and kicked the blades of grass at his feet: "I just like her, and occasionally go to her dreams to play with her." ”

"Just playing?" Xing Ruyi's eyes narrowed into a line, and the knuckles of his fingers were also clenched: "Little toad, there is something that I think I have to tell you, sister, that is, confess leniently, and resist strictly." Also, my sister likes to lynch very much, especially to lynching demons, what about you, it's best to think about it before answering. ”

"I, I just want to make her just like me." The little toad licked her lips: "I want her to be my wife." ”

"Poof!" Xing Ruyi felt that she was choking on a mouthful of spit.
