2.4 Starry Night Escape (Part I)
Without waiting for the teenagers to ask more, the three-tailed female fox got up and led them up to the second floor, Hu Lan and the seven-tailed old fox were still talking in a low voice, but Rui Gong and the others couldn't hear it anymore.
The three-tailed female fox walked through the treehole corridor, stopped in front of a wooden door next to the storeroom, stretched out her forelimbs to push open the half-hidden wooden door, turned to the teenagers and smiled, "Since there is no room to spare, I will arrange you in Husang's room." ”
"I'm sorry." Rui Gong nodded.
"Woohoo." While they were talking, Husang hurriedly squeezed in from the middle.
The three-tailed female fox looked at the fox mulberry dotingly, stopped talking, and led the teenagers into the house.
The fox mulberry room is more delicate than the outside, the spacious wooden roof, two huge unknown leaves hang down in a figure-eight shape, the leaves are green and transparent, like two green gauze curtains, at the intersection of leaf petioles, each hangs a rattan, the lower edge of the rattan is connected with a hollow cradle-like bed, hanging in the air, at this time the fox mulberry is nesting in the cradle and sticking out his head to look at everyone; There are also a number of object tables in the room, which are connected to the body of the tree; On the item table, a jewel like a night pearl shimmered with a soft white light, illuminating the room like a dream, facing the place of the three teenagers, and a fan-shaped wooden window was ajar, and the night breeze came out, indescribably pleasant and refreshing.
"The hammock is too small, I made it for you again, you can try how it feels." The three-tailed she-fox walked up to a square pile of verdant leaves and said to the boys.
"Thank you." Rui Gong smiled, and when she looked up, she saw a "bed" made of thick leaves by the window, and the "bed" was covered with a large "sheet" made of leaves.
"Well, it looks green." Rui Gong smiled, as if comforting herself. She walked slowly to the bed, reached out and touched it, there was a layer of fine and dense fluff on the surface of the leaves, and it felt no worse than her own bed, which surprised her, "It's so soft, it doesn't feel like a leaf at all." ”
The three-tailed female fox didn't explain, nodded with a smile and said, "If you like it, I'll go out first, I wish you and Husang a happy relationship." ”
"Well, see you tomorrow, thank you." Rui Gong sent the three-tailed female fox to the door before turning back.
"This ...... Can this really sleep? Di Qingchuan looked at the bed made of green leaves in front of him, and felt a little apprehensive.
"I'll test the bed for you." Ke Zhenshi glanced at Di Qingchuan, with force under his feet, his body jumped into the air and jumped onto the bed, and the leaves were pressed down, and Ke Zhenshi was thrown into the air. "Roar, I can't see that it's very elastic." Ke Zhenshi repeated this a few times like a child who had received a toy.
"Don't toss, can't you be quiet when you are a guest?" Rui Gong frowned and looked at Ke Zhenshi, who was having a lot of fun.
"Hey, that'll do." Ke Zhenshi also stopped playing, moved his body and ran to the innermost, because there was a big wooden window on that wall, and he could see the night scene outside when he stretched out his head.
Di Qingchuan was next to Ke Zhenshi, with a gap in the middle, and Rui Gong slept on the outside.
"Husang, can this glowing stone be extinguished?" Rui Gong turned his head to look at Husang in the hammock, but saw that Husang looked at a few teenagers from time to time, his eyes were rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Smack." Fox Sang waved his hand and made a strange sound, and the light of the gem like a night pearl faded, and the room darkened.
Silently, the moonlight shone in from the windowsill of the treehouse, and the moonlight was the same as the world she had lived in, carrying a gentle breeze that brushed Rui Gong's hair, giving her the illusion that she was still on earth.
The teenagers were lying on their beds for a long time, but their mood was not as relaxed as they seemed. It's been two days since they came to this world, and they have reluctantly accepted that this is no longer the world they used to live in, and in this strange world, they have no idea what to do next.
"How credible is what the Husang family said?" Rui Geng's mind was surging with thoughts, constantly recalling the events of the day, thinking of Grandma Fox's words some time ago, and couldn't help but think. "When she first met the fox milk, she once said to the fox father that she would rather offend Qiqi than save us. It is said that the more you give, the more you get, but how can we have those legendary things, what if they can't get them? Will they hand us over to Qi Qi to vent his anger? So what she said later is that now the light and darkness are fighting, the situation is unclear, let's not move around here, what is it for, is it a delaying tactic, in order to keep us? In this way, could the farce in Fox Village during the day be a trap set by Fox Village......" As Rui Geng's thoughts brewed, she had deep doubts about the behavior of Fox Lan and other foxes, and at the same time, the uneasiness in her heart gradually increased.
"Hey, I don't know how long I'm going to stay in Fox Village!" At the same time, Di Qingchuan also tossed and turned, the night seemed to expand his sense of thought, and the desire to go home made it difficult for him to stop reverie. "Actually, as long as I can go home as soon as possible, I don't care if it's God or some of the Twelve Elders, but Fox Milk seems to have said that this world is different from the world I used to live in, so can they really send me back? If they don't want to help me, or if they can't do anything about it, will I be trapped in this world? Di Qingchuan tightened his body, feeling that the night wind was a little cold. But maybe, hasn't the fox fairy feather been to our world? If he can go, I should be able to go back, right? Di Qingchuan sighed. Hey, maybe I should have left for the Lingwu Secret Realm sooner, or I'll never be able to go back if I stay here. ”
The teenagers had their own thoughts, and they all kept their eyes open in the dark, thinking about things in a daze.
Ke Zhenshi rolled over for a long time, and simply got up secretly and put his head on the wooden window in a daze, the moonlight illuminated his face, and there was a faint trace of excitement in the night. In fact, since he got a positive answer from the Hu Lan family, now every time he thinks of the Phoenix Emperor, the Divine Beast, the struggle between light and darkness once in five thousand years, he feels that his blood is boiling. "Fenghuang, divine beast, I didn't expect there to be such a thing in the world," Ke Zhenshi shouted in his heart, "If I go out for a stroll now, if I am lucky, maybe I will meet Fenghuang, and then something will happen, no matter how good my luck is, it is not impossible to take him as a pet!" Ke Zhenshi tilted his head and fell into deep thought, and sucked the saliva that slipped to the corner of his mouth. There is a prosperous era that only exists in 5,000 years, did I miss Ke Zhenshi like this? Absolutely not, since I inadvertently fell into the bloody wind of the rivers and lakes, then I am destined to be one of the protagonists! Ke Zhenshi secretly looked at the two people next to him, and resisted the desire to slip away now.
The hustle and bustle of the fox village that had continued from the day gradually subsided at this moment, and I don't know how long it took, except for the sound of the teenagers breathing each other, no other movement could be heard in the air.
"Everyone! Are you all asleep? Suddenly, there was a low voice from the darkness.
"No, I can't sleep at all!" Ke Zhenshi's eyes rolled, wondering what Hu Sang meant by saying this at this time.
Although Rui Gong and Di Qingchuan did not speak, they both turned their heads to look at him in the dark.
"Shhhh Let's be quiet, don't wake my parents. Husang crept up to the three of them and sat down on the edge of the bed, a corner of moonlight hitting his hair, bringing a glimmer of light to the room.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Rui Gong was curious and wary.
Husang said in a low voice, "You have also heard what my father said earlier, and I want you to stay here and wait." I guess you wouldn't want to, right? If someone takes you to the Lingwu Secret Realm, are you willing to go? ”
"Rub-" Ke Zhenshi immediately sat up when he heard it, looked at Hu Sang and said excitedly, "Yes, of course I am willing, who doesn't want to be a fool, tell me who that person is?" ”
Hu Sang pointed at his nose with his claws, because he leaned forward, and at this time, a touch of moonlight climbed on his head, and his pure white hair shone with a white light, like the white fox they met in Qifeng Mountain before.
Ke Zhenshi was suddenly deflated and suspicious: "You? Can you? ”
Husang glared at him, "Whether it's okay or not, no one will take you there except me." In other words, if you want to go home early, you can only follow me quietly. Hu Sang looked at Rui Gong and Di Qingchuan as he spoke.
"You really just want to get us out?" Rui Gong was full of vigilance against the Husang family at this time.
"Of course, what else can you do?" Husang wondered.
Rui Gong nodded, maybe Hu Sang really didn't know what Hu Lan's plans were, thinking of Hu Lan, she couldn't help but worry, "In case you are caught by your parents, we ......"
"Believe me, I won't be caught, besides, even if I do, you will definitely be fine, as for me, I will be beaten at most. For the birth of the once-in-a-millennium Phoenix Emperor, my own sacrifice is nothing. "Fox Sang's eyes are shining, and he has a kind of dedication.
"Yes...... However, there are so many monsters out there, winged, flying, and spewing ...... Spitting fire, how many of us can ...... Will it work? Di Qingchuan peeked out from behind Rui Gong, very tangled.
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about it, I read all kinds of books and often run out to play; There is also the Lingwu Secret Realm in Camtan Continent, which is not too far from our Fox Village. Husang said quite confidently.
Rui Gong nodded thoughtfully, agreeing to this.
Hu Sang happily slapped the fox paw, turned his head to look at Di Qingchuan, Di Qingchuan swallowed and said, "You...... You want to keep us safe. ”
"No problem." Husang patted his chest and swore an oath.
"Then, I, I'm ......" Di Qingchuan wanted to say something.
"Haha, then it was decided so happily." Husang didn't wait for him to finish, he immediately stood up and secretly walked towards the wooden window, his steps were light and did not make the slightest sound.
"Hey, what are you doing this way?" Ke Zhenshi asked.
"Nonsense, if you don't go through the window, don't you go to the front door, ten of you are not enough for my dad to catch." Hu Sang glared at Ke Zhenshi.
"Squeak!" The wooden windows were slowly pushed open, and the white moonlight filled the windows, bringing more light to the dark hut. From the outside, a hairy fox head suddenly appeared in front of the wooden window on the second floor of the treehouse, looking around sneakily.
Hu Sang pricked up his ears, leaned on the wooden wall and listened intently for a moment, and when he saw that there was no movement downstairs, he opened the wooden window to the maximum, stretched out half of his body, and climbed out first.
Beneath the wooden window, a thick branch of an ancient tree sprouted horizontally, and the fox leaped lightly to it, beckoning to the house.
Ke Zhenshi looked back at Rui Gong and Di Qingchuan and said, "I'll explore the path for you first, and you will follow me." After saying that, he opened the window, turned his feet out of the window, and soon stood next to Husang.
"You go down first." Rui Gong said to Di Qingchuan. At the same time, he looked around the room, found a small wooden stool, and put it behind the wooden door and put it against it.
After finishing his work, Rui Gong glanced at the tree house and said in his heart: I climbed out now, I'm afraid I will never come here again.
She climbed out of the window with her hands and feet, turned and closed the window, then let go of her hand and jumped onto the trunk of the tree.
"Yes, very talented." Fox Sang chuckled under his breath, and then glanced sideways in the direction of the treehouse's door, proudly revealing his two front teeth, which shimmered in the moonlight.
"Follow me!" Fox-san said to the boys, and then slid down the vine that fell from the end of the trunk, and soon came to the ground. When the boys had successfully landed, they immediately led them to the end of the road that had entered the village during the day.
"Where are we going?" Rui Gong looked at the pitch-black fox village around him and asked curiously.
"Let's go back to the mountains." Husang said in a low voice.
"Oh, by the way, Daddy Fox said that there are enchantments all around the village, and you can't pass through without spiritual power, do you have a way?" Rui Gong said tentatively, thinking that if it didn't work, they would have to go home.
"Don't worry, the enchantment is only external, not internal." Husan walked as he walked.
As they walked forward, the treehouses on both sides gradually disappeared, and everyone soon came to the barrier.
"Don't be afraid, hurry up, I'll be waiting for you outside." Fox Sang grinned, his appearance was very underwhelming, he didn't stop after speaking, he stepped out of the enchantment with one foot, and turned back to wave to Rui Gong when he was done.
"Huh~" Rui Gong exhaled and looked at the enchantment in front of her, although she saw that Husang passed safely, she was still a little apprehensive - who knows if the enchantment is only effective for the fox clan? But she didn't bother, she just closed her eyes and hit her head.
It felt like walking was no different than usual, and when Rui Gong opened her eyes, the barrier was already behind her.
Rui Geng's hanging heart slowly let go, and instead looked at the enchantment in front of him in amazement, unlike the day, the enchantment looked very gorgeous at night, the pale green light was constantly flowing, and a trace of light like an arc of light was beating. Obviously, Ke Zhenshi and Di Qingchuan were still in the enchantment, but she couldn't see it.
Just as Rui Gong was looking at the enchantment suspiciously, he suddenly saw Di Qingchuan staggering out.
"What's wrong?" Rui Gong asked softly.
"I ...... That one. Di Qingchuan's face was slightly red, his cheeks bulging but he couldn't speak.
"He was hesitant all the time, and I pushed him out." Ke Zhenshi's voice came, and he also ran out of the enchantment.
"Take it easy." Husang smiled at Di Qingchuan, and Di Qingchuan hurriedly replied with an embarrassed smile.
The crowd did not linger much longer. Because he ran out secretly, he had a string in his heart and walked much faster than usual.
The mountain behind Fox Village is a relatively steep mountain, the mountain is full of lush old forests, the forest is full of thorns, it is more difficult to walk, and the teenagers have no lighting equipment, so they can only shuttle through the forest by the light of the leaves.
Although the teenagers had experienced a night in the woods before, they had gathered around the campfire at that time, and had not walked at night; What's more, the night they spent around the bonfire before, they also felt very terrifying, and this time they hurried in the darkness, and they felt even more bottomless.
