"All encounters in the world are predestined. ”

Many years later, when Nan Huaijin remembered the scene of the first encounter with Hu Qiqi, he felt that their original encounter was fate.

The spring of 603 in the Great Xia calendar

Nan Huaijin's impression of the spring in Fuzhen that year was the spring flowers in full bloom on both sides of the street, the spring breeze was wrapped in the fragrance of flowers and the rich fragrance of cakes, and the peaceful expressions of passers-by. Everything was so good, until I met the little fox who stole his sugar gourd. From that moment on, their fates were entangled, cut and tied, and they were in chaos until they died.

Xiao Huaijin sneaked out of the house, took her private money, and came to Dongdajie with joy. For him as a young man, Dongdajie was the happiest place, where he had his favorite sugar gourd. Where there is a sugar gourd, it is the most beautiful place in the world. This is the worldview of six-year-old Nan Huaijin.

"Uncle Zhang, come to a string of sugar gourds, the sweetest kind. Xiao Huaijin handed a copper plate to a kind old man and said at the same time.

"It's Xiao Huaijin, for you, it's definitely the sweetest. As he spoke, Uncle Zhang handed Xiao Huaijin a string of sugar gourds wrapped in thick sugar coating.

Xiao Huaijin took the sugar gourd, couldn't wait to lick it, and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Goodbye, Uncle Zhang. Xiao Huaijin politely said goodbye to the old man.

"Goodbye, Xiao Huaijin. The old man replied with a smile. "What a good boy, it's a pity. "Every time Xiao Huaijin comes to buy sugar gourds, the old man always thinks of the unfortunate experience of this lovely child, and treats him better. The reason is that Xiao Huaijin is an orphan whose parents died.

Yes, Nan Huaijin is an orphan who lives with her elderly grandfather. His father went to join the army before he was born and died on the battlefield soon after. In times of turmoil, human life is always worthless. And his mother, who also had a difficult birth when she gave birth to him, ended up with his father. Leaving the newborn Xiao Huaijin and his elderly grandfather to rely on each other.

Although his father died in battle, the principality issued a compassionate payment, plus his grandfather's savings when he was young, and the life of the grandfather and grandson was not bad. The people in the town are simple and simple, and the neighbors help each other, so the young Xiao Huaijin is not short of food and clothing.

Xiao Huaijin took her beloved sugar gourd and slowly walked home while licking it. The two little short legs take a brisk step, and the days with sugar gourds are always happy, not to mention the spring when the spring flowers are fragrant.

Just as Xiao Huaijin was thinking about whether to eat a sugar gourd, there was a commotion in front of the street. "What's going on? Could it be a caravan? Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and walked towards the place where the sound came.

Every spring, a caravan comes to Laifu Town, bringing a variety of goods to trade with the people of the town. It's one of the few things in the year and it brings a lot of income to the people of the town, so everyone is looking forward to the caravan. For the young Huaijin, the arrival of the caravan meant that there were good things to eat and toys to play. The child was always interested in eating and playing, so he was especially looking forward to the arrival of the caravan. It would be better if you could come every day.

After walking forward for a while, Xiao Huaijin saw horses carrying goods in the middle of the road. "It's really a caravan coming, great, what can I eat this time", seeing that it was really a caravan coming, Xiao Huaijin was so happy that even her little face was red. For a while, I even forgot to lick the sugar gourd in my hand.

"It seems that I should go home early and tell my grandfather, he will be very happy to know. Xiao Huaijin thought of it, and at the same time raised the sugar gourd in his hand, ready to lick it beautifully.

"Who stole my sugar gourd!!" Xiao Huaijin let out an angry cry when he saw that the sugar gourd in his hand was only a bare stick.

Just as he was about to look around, find the culprit who stole his sugar gourd and repair him, he suddenly found a chubby fox at his feet. Moreover, this fox is still chewing on something.

"Did you steal my sugar gourd? Xiao Huaijin picked up the chubby little fox and asked. "Squeak", in response to him were two crisp cries, as if to say that it wasn't me. Of course, Xiao Huaijin won't believe it. The little fox spit out a few hawthorn seeds from his mouth when he barked, and everything was best explained. It was this little fox who did it, and while Xiao Huaijin was watching the caravan, the little fox secretly ate all his sugar gourds.

"You thief, pay me for my sugar gourd. Xiao Huaijin said viciously while carrying the pitiful-looking little fox. Recently he was changing his teeth, so grandpa wouldn't let him eat sweets. This was something he had managed to sneak out to buy, and before he could eat it, he was stolen and eaten by this fat fox, not to mention how angry he was.

Of course, the little fox of the sugar gourd will not return it, how can it be returned after eating something in the stomach. So Xiao Huaijin was ready to clean it up and vent the anger in her heart. Just as he was about to start giving the little fox a little color, a voice stopped him.

"Little brother, this is my little fox, I ran away just now. A man's voice rang out, letting down the fist he had just raised, and sparing the little fox from the pain of a meal of flesh and skin. Although the young Xiao Huaijin didn't have much strength, he couldn't really do anything to the little fox.

The person who came was dressed in a plain blue robe, holding an adult crown, and looked very gentle.

"Since it's yours, I'll give it back to you. Next time, you have to watch it carefully, and don't let it steal other people's sugar gourds again. Xiao Huaijin saw that the owner of the fox was coming, so he put it in the hands of the person who came, and said at the same time.

"Thank you, little brother, in order to compensate you, and at the same time thank you for your kindness in finding it, I invite you to eat sugar gourd. Gu Lifeng took the little fox and said to Xiao Huaijin with a smile.

"Really? Thank you. When Xiao Huaijin heard that there was a sugar gourd to eat, her originally wrinkled little face immediately became happy. Originally, he planned to go home like this, but now that he has sugar gourds to eat, he is naturally very happy.

"Next time, don't run around, or you'll be punished for not having anything to eat. Gu Lifeng said to the little fox in his arms. Then he led Xiao Huaijin to buy sugar gourds. The little fox squeaked twice in his arms, as if he had agreed.

"Uncle, come three strings of sugar gourds. Gu Lifeng took Xiao Huaijin to the stall and said to the old man selling sugar gourds.

"Okay, by the way, Xiao Huaijin, why are you back again. The old man handed Gu Lifeng the sugar gourd, and said suspiciously to Xiao Huaijin who had gone and returned.

"This big brother's little fox stole my sugar gourd, so he invited me to eat it. Xiao Huaijin replied, and at the same time happily took two strings of sugar gourds from Gu Lifeng's hands. Gu Lifeng stuffed the remaining string of sugar gourds into the little fox's mouth, and the little fox hummed happily. Originally, I thought there would be no sugar gourd to eat, but it turned out to be again, so the little fox was also very happy.

"It's not too early, I'm going home, thank you big brother for the sugar gourd. Xiao Huaijin said goodbye to Gu Lifeng, and took two large strings of sugar gourds and set foot on the way home again.

"Don't run around next time, what if you run into bad guys. Gu Lifeng, who also left the stall, said to the little fox. "I see, I'm not curious. The little fox stuck out his little tongue and said. This little fox can actually speak, this is to let Xiao Huaijin know, I don't know how to be surprised.

"This little human kid was going to teach me a lesson just now, and if I meet him again in the future, I must teach him a good lesson. The little fox said viciously. "And people, aren't you a little kid yourself? Gu Lifeng knocked on the little fox's fluffy little head and responded.

"I'm different, I'm a great fox fox Qiqi. The little fox said proudly. "Yes, yes, then the great fox Qiqi will not steal other people's sugar gourds. Gu Lifeng smiled and said to the proud little fox. When the little fox heard this, he immediately blushed. "I'm not curious. Fox Qiqi said shyly. "Alright, let's go home quickly, otherwise father and mother will be worried. Gu Lifeng said. Apparently, this personable man is also a fox.

In this way, six-year-old Nan Huaijin met the six-month-old fox Qiqi for the first time, in Laifu Town, where spring flowers are in full bloom.

It's just that none of them know that in the future, their fate will be tightly entangled from the moment they meet.
