Chapter XII
As a native of Qingqiu Fox, staying in his hometown is the wisest choice. Under the daily coercion of my father and queen mother, I drank a variety of medicines and supplements, and finally successfully overcame the pain, raised a fat body, and became a lively fox again.
"Yan Wen, this kid, has been going out to play these days, and he doesn't want to come back. The national teacher shook the fan desperately, trying to rely on the fan to relieve the mood of wanting to beat his son. "It's not a matter of hundreds of years since he's been playful. "I was eating the lotus seed cake that the queen mother had just asked someone to deliver, and I was eating it with great pleasure. "I've done the math, he's supposed to be back in a few days. It's nothing about that stinky boy, look at you, the dignified Qingqiu prince, this little injury actually raised a body of fat. I stopped chewing, quickly swallowed the cake in my mouth, and silently put the rest back on the plate. "It just so happens that there have been a lot of people seeking marriage recently, you pick one and hurry up to do it, and the right to lose weight for you. ”
I wiped my mouth and took a cursory glance at the nearest fate-seeking post, and saw that there was a fate-seeking post that read: "I want to marry Ah Xuan." "I just like to be so concise and clear, not verbose, that's all!" I spread out the marriage book and projected an illusion towards the wall.
The illusion unfolded, it was an almost airtight space, and the tables and chairs were very rudimentary, and by the dim candlelight, I vaguely felt that it was like a hole in the ground. There was a haggard woman lying on the bed, and a small blue snake was lying in swaddling clothes beside her, and her blue eyes were looking around with a bone. A man was kneeling on the ground holding the woman's hand, his body trembling with excitement. "A-Ying, if you hold on, I'll go back and ask the clan doctor to save you, you'll be fine. The man's eyes were filled with tears and he held the woman's hand tightly. "Xianggong... Don't go... Since I've broken the clan rules... I deserve the punishment I deserve... It's just that we're suffering... Our daughter... I was born without a mother...", the woman weakly reached out and touched the baby snake in her swaddling clothes. "God is cruel after all...". The woman swallowed her last breath unwillingly, and the man's miserable and helpless cries echoed throughout the hole.
The next scene is of the man running around in a forest covered in injuries, and a group of Taoist priests behind him are chasing after him. The man used almost all his strength to shake them off slightly, he stopped under a towering ancient tree, crouched down and shook his sleeves, and a small blue snake fell out, spitting a fiery red core, and was looking at him blankly. "Daughter, you must live well, and live with me and your mother. The man's eyes were red, and he touched its head reluctantly, and then made up his mind, gritting his teeth and running in the direction in which he had been going. The group of Taoist priests had already caught up, and the man blocked the middle of the road, preventing them from moving on. "Bold snake demon! Don't hurry up and catch it!" The man roared angrily, like an exploding thunderbolt, and turned into a black giant python in the layers of demonic energy, opening his bloody mouth towards the Taoist priests. The Taoist priests fought with him, but they were outnumbered, not to mention that the black python had already been scarred, and the black python was completely unable to move by the charm, the little snake saw this scene from a distance, twisted his body and wanted to run to his father, the black python turned his head with difficulty, and roared hysterically in the direction of the little snake, the miserable hissing was clearly a fast run. In the next second, the black python was pierced through the head by a sword from the Taoist priest, and tears and blood dripped on the ground. The little snake stopped and watched his father's figure slowly fall, shaking up the dust. The group of Taoist priests was happily putting its father into the lock demon bag, and it was only the size of a palm. The little snake whimpered and shed a few tears, watching the group of Taoist priests walking in its direction, it glanced at the lock demon bag containing its father's corpse a few times, and then plunged into the grass and disappeared.
I watched this fatherless, motherless, and lonely little snake in the fantasy world experiencing the suffering of wind and sun, eating a few mouthfuls of grass to satisfy hunger when it couldn't catch food, and hibernating in a cave in winter. After hundreds of years like this, the little snake finally took on a human form and appeared to be a girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old. She was smiling innocently and frolicking with a colorful butterfly, wrapped in a simple dark dress, her long black hair was scattered and hung down to the ground, and a pair of blue eyes seemed to hide the stars. I suddenly remembered that Si Yan's eyes were also blue, the girl's eyes were like the clear sky in midsummer, and Si Yan's eyes were more like a pool of undisturbed lake, and I couldn't see the ups and downs.
One day, the little snake spirit ran into the woods to forage for food, but her figure suddenly stopped, and her eyes fell on the grass not far ahead, where a fat rabbit was leisurely grazing. The little snake spirit touched the hungry belly, licked its mouth, and swooped over. However, she didn't notice that a human man in the distance was holding a bow and arrow, also aiming at the fat prey. The man shot the arrow, but saw a shadow flash in front of him, and the next second he heard a woman's scream. He threw away his bow and arrows and ran forward in a panic, and saw a young girl with the arrow he had shot in her back, lying unconscious in a pool of blood, with the rabbit in her mouth. The man pulled the rabbit out of her mouth, picked up the woman and ran to the horses that had been placed not far away, and rode her out of the woods.
The little snake spirit was placed in a side room, and the man quickly sent for a doctor to treat her, and the doctor was busy for a long time, removing the arrow from her back and applying layer after layer of ointment to the infected wound. Because of the infection of the wound, the little snake spirit had a high fever and kept moaning because of the pain in the coma. The man waited in front of the bed day and night, constantly wiping the woman's hot forehead with a cold towel, his expression full of anxiety. I kept watch day and night for two nights, and on the third night the woman slowly woke up, the man was awakened by the woman's movement, and when he saw that the woman was awake, he quickly sat down and tried the woman's body temperature, and said with relief: "It's okay, it's okay, the fever has subsided, the girl's injury hasn't healed yet, let's take care of the injury in the next few days." The woman stared at him with wide eyes, her eyes gradually frightened, and she shrank desperately to the end of the bed, completely ignoring the pain of the wound. The man was stunned, looking at the trembling woman at the end of the bed, the man had no choice but to raise his hands to make a surrender form, and said slowly: "Don't be afraid, girl, I didn't mean to seriously injure the girl, Wei is here to make amends." The little snake spirit was still shrunk into a ball, completely unmoved. She has never been in contact with humans since she was a child, and the only human she has been in contact with has killed her father, so it is understandable that she is so afraid of humans.
A series of cooing sounds suddenly wafted from the tense atmosphere, and the woman clutched her stomach tightly, trying to stop her stomach from continuing to protest. The man was stunned, sneered, then got up and brought a plate of pastries from the table, gently pushed it in front of the woman, the woman looked at the pastry, and then looked at the man, carefully stretched out her hand to pick up a piece, quickly stuffed it into her mouth, and swallowed it without chewing a few bites, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, this plate is all yours, I'll let someone make you some hot." The woman looked at the smiling man, and made sure that he was not hostile, so she became bolder, and devoured the plate.
That night, the woman nibbled on a whole roast chicken, a large bowl of meatballs and a whole piece of bacon, which was probably the most sumptuous dish the woman had eaten in hundreds of years, shocking the maid who served the dish. The man held his cheeks and smiled as he watched the woman gobble up in front of him, and then burped contentedly and patted her round belly. "Have you eaten enough? If that's not enough, I'll let someone slaughter another goose." The woman shook her head and patted her stomach, indicating that she could no longer eat. After the people had cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, the man said, "Where is the girl's house? The woman hung her head, "I, I don't have a home." "Why did the girl go into the woods? "I have nowhere to go. "The girl is actually a poor person, under Wei Shuxuan, dare to ask the girl's name?" The woman looked at him with blinking eyes and tilted her head. No matter how shocked the man was, her mother died just after she was born, and her father died tragically on the street, and no one ever named her. The man looked at the poor little woman, smiled softly and said, "Your eyes are really beautiful, like irises blooming in May, and you will be called A Kite in the future." ”
