Chapter Ninety-Four
"I've never admitted that I'm dumb." Xi Ci glanced at him and replied coldly.
Then to appease the frightened Xuanhu in her arms, she looked left and right and slowly sat down, took some food from the basket and fed it to Xuanhu's mouth, trying to comfort it with food.
Xuanhu hesitated to sniff the strips that reached his mouth, and licked them again, making sure that they were edible things, so he slowly quieted down and chewed the meat strips carefully.
Shen Zhou, who finally heard her speak, seemed very surprised, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked cautiously, "Then why don't you keep talking?" ”
Xi Ci stroked the soft fur on Xuanhu's body, raised his eyes with slightly trembling eyelashes, and said lightly: "I have no comment." ”
Shen Zhou guessed that it must have been Fang Cai who pressed her fox herself, making her unhappy, so she closed her mouth in amusement, but the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, she was the master of this house, how could she be led away by her again and again?
It was only when he heard the soft voice of the other party when he teased the fox that he dared to ask, "Can I take the liberty of asking, your name?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings instantly fell silent, and when Shen Zhou thought that people were being asked away by himself, and he was feeling a little annoyed by his actions, the other party replied: "I am here, and I don't deserve a name." ”
Xi Ci looked at him who didn't know anything about him with a complicated expression, where did she deserve a name here, just a fleeting passerby.
Hearing her answer, Shen Zhou was stunned in disbelief, and asked again, "Where is your home?" ”
Xi Ci paused, then lowered his eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "I can't find my home." ”
When Shen Zhou heard this, he suspected that she was deliberately creating a fog and was reluctant to answer positively, so he continued to ask with some depression: "Then how did you get here?" ”
Xi Ci lowered his head and looked at the gobbling fox in his arms, and replied softly: "There is light here, so I came." ”
Shen Zhou thought that the light in her mouth was herself, so she asked, "Do you know me?" ”
Xi Ci raised his eyes and stared at him sadly, and was silent for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I know now." ”
"You...... Why would you like to stay and take care of me? Shen Zhou asked with some embarrassment.
She pursed her lips and thought about it, and said, "There is nowhere to go, and I will pay for it with my work." ”
Finally hearing the resultant answer, Shen Zhou wondered if she came here by mistake because the war between gods and demons had spread to the Six Realms, and her family was ruined, so he asked tentatively, "Don't you remember anything?" ”
"I hope so......"
A joy and an emptiness, can be read, but none of them can be sought, they are all extravagant hopes, Xi Ci wiped away the tears that wanted to snatch his eyes with his thumb, and smiled silently.
Shen Zhou was worried that his question would scare her away, so he immediately said softly: "Ahem, although I don't know where you come from, and I don't know why you hide when you see other people, if you have a hard time, I won't be reluctant, but the heavenly realm has always thought of the common people and the original intention of protecting all souls, and there will certainly be places for you, such as...... Over here. ”
After speaking, he also stretched out a hand and gently patted the open space on his side, indicating something to her.
Looking at the gentle arc of the corners of his mouth, Xi Ci suddenly recalled that he took in the red-faced ghosts in the ghost domain and helped them re-enter the reincarnation, whenever he encountered danger, as long as he was there, he would help relieve the siege, and then took himself in, he was actually still the same him, but he appeared out of place.
Xuanhu saw that they were chatting very devotedly, so he wanted to sneak away when he was full of food and drink, but he was grabbed by the quick-eyed Xi Ci and gently dragged back by his hind legs, hugged him in his arms and whispered: "It's dangerous outside, let's stay here." ”
Hearing Xi Ci's words, Shen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, held back his excitement, and said warmly with one hand on his cheek: "Where did you pick it up?" ”
"Gu Fengshan, the gods and demons burned its entire clan to death, I didn't want to leave it in the corpse pile, so I brought it up." She paused, then sniffed.
When he was a child, Xi Ci had heard Qiu Ye tell him about the rise and fall of the Xuanhu Clan, and he had also heard him mention his despair and fear in the corpse pile.
When it came to the battle of gods and demons, Shen Zhou's mind echoed with the picture of war drums and corpses all over the field, which deepened his guess, maybe she really came here by mistake because of the loss of her clan.
Thinking that he wouldn't live long, Xi Ci looked at Xuanhu in his arms with his eyebrows in his throat, and continued: "But I ...... You may not be able to keep it all the time, and I hope it can have a good place. ”
Shen Zhou faintly heard some reluctant regret from her words, and when he moved silently, he turned around and groped for a jar of wine, raised it and shook it, trying to arouse her interest, and said, "Do you want a few glasses?" ”
Xi Ci didn't answer, but picked up Xuanhu and took out two wine glasses, put them on the table, and then handed Xuanhu to him and said, "Help me hold it, I'll pour the wine." ”
Shen Zhou took the desperately struggling Xuanhu, tightly imprisoned it in his arms, and replied gently as water: "Okay." ”
In this way, they had their own hearts and minds, and drank together all night with joys and sorrows.
When he woke up, he saw that Shen Zhou was feeding Xuanhu, and Xi Ci lay on the couch and saw that they were getting along harmoniously, and couldn't help but smile with relief.
Then she got up and took out the medicine box and came to Shen Zhou, replacing him with the newly refined medicine.
Shen Zhou sniffed lightly and said, "New formula." ”
Xi Ci sat opposite him, and was seriously changing his medicine, when Xuanhu got into Xi Ci's arms at this time and sighed twice.
Seeing that she seemed to have returned to her usual silence today, Shen Zhou thought for a moment and asked softly, given that she cared about this fox very much, "Does it have a name?" ”
"Akino." Xi Ci replied without thinking.
"Akino is prosperous, and the city is noisy, a good name." Shen Zhou said appreciatively.
Xi Ci shook his head and smiled, re-wrapped the muslin cloth for him, and after packing up the medicine box, he sat on the steps outside with Xuanhu in his arms to bask in the sun.
Shen Zhou found that he seemed to be left out by her, so he had to grope his way out with his feelings, sat on her side carefully, and said: "It's almost becoming a sperm, and it may be a little difficult to come this time." ”
Xi Ci looked at him thoughtfully, and then stuffed Xuanhu into his arms and said, "I'll come when I go." ”
Before Shen Zhou could agree to come over, Xi Ci had already left the house, so he had to sigh helplessly, stroked Xuanhu's head and said, "I apologize to you for what happened last night, can you help me say a few more kind words in front of her?" What is exempted from work, and how? ”
Xuanhu struggled out of his arms unappreciatively and chased the fairy butterfly in the yard to play.
Just when it was playing hard, there was an extra pair of white boots in front of it, and before it could see the person who came, it was picked up, and Xuanhu struggled and screamed in shock.
"Fengyang, it doesn't like you, let it go." Shen Zhou said coldly.
Feng Yang's neck was scratched several times before he reluctantly put down Xuanhu and said, "It's so cute!" ”
Xuanhu rushed straight into Shen Zhou's arms and bared his teeth at him, letting out a warning "snoring".
Feng Yang walked to the side of Shen Zhou and sat down, stretched out his finger to tease it without giving up, and was bitten several times without a trace of displeasure, but said suddenly: "Oh my God, I have never felt before, this is simply the love fox in my dreams!" ”
When Shen Zhou heard this, he sneered ruthlessly: "Heh, don't you often go to Qingqiu Country to play with foxes?" Is it because they like you so much that they don't eat it? ”
Feng Yang felt that Shen Zhou's words would ruin his image in front of Xuanhu, and hurriedly defended: "That's different, the Six Realms are so big, there are so many wine and meat foxes who spend time together, but there are very few who can fall in love at first sight." ”
If you can roll your eyes at this time, I'm afraid that Shen Zhou's eyes will be rolled over.
The corners of Shen Zhou's mouth hooked up a cool sneer, and said: "I am also the best among dragons, why didn't you fall in love with me at first sight?" ”
"I love you, half-brotherhood, the sun and the moon can be seen!" Feng Yang touched his conscience and said solemnly.
Shen Zhou touched Xuanhu angrily and funny, lowered his head and said softly: "He is greedy for your body, be careful." ”
Xuanhu listened to his words, shrunk in panic, wanted to escape but was afraid of being caught by Fengyang, and now he could only rely on Shen Zhou to protect himself, so he flattered Shen Zhou and squeezed it.
Feng Yang was so envious when he saw this, he looked at Xuanhu with his hands on his cheeks, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Eh, this fox looks like it's about to become a sperm, where did you get it?" ”
"Have you ever heard of this place in Gufeng Mountain?"
"Gu Fengshan? Ah~ I heard that I was burned by the gods and demons and the rain of fire, and there are still surviving creatures, as the saying goes, if you don't die, there will be a blessing after the disaster, I didn't expect to come here to enjoy the blessings, providence. ”
After listening to Feng Yang's words, it seemed that she was not lying, Shen Zhou smiled comfortably, remembering that she said last night: "But I ...... You may not be able to keep it all the time, and I hope it can have a good place. ”
So Shen Zhou followed the temptation and said: "If you like it, it is not that you can't entrust it to you, but you need to win its heart, so that it will be willing to go with you." ”
"Is that true?" Feng Yang suddenly raised his head and asked with burning eyes.
Shen Zhou smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Seriously." ”
Feng Yang clasped his hands to his chest and raised his chin slightly: "Don't be reluctant when the time comes!" ”
"When did I not keep my word?" Shen Zhouwan asked.
Feng Yang couldn't hide his joy and asked, "That's great, does it have a name?" ”
Shen Zhou replied softly, "Akino." ”
"Akino? Haha, good name! Look at me, look at me! Hearing this, Feng Yang excitedly clapped his hands on Xuanhu, trying to get its attention.
Xuanhu looked disgusted and turned his head, unwilling to pay attention to the licking fox in front of him.
Shen Zhou suddenly asked solemnly, "What are you doing today?" ”
Feng Yang then remembered the purpose of his coming, so he said seriously: "You don't know yet, it's about to be a truce, and today the Heavenly Monarch and the Demon Venerable are meeting to discuss in the ghost realm and the underworld." ”
"Sure enough, it ended this way." Although helpless, it was expected, Shen Zhou chuckled.
Feng Yang said helplessly: "Since ancient times, gods and demons have existed in the world, if there is no truce, continuing to fight will only hurt both sides, and will not change anything." ”
Shen Zhou said slowly: "The demons will not give up, you just wait and see." ”
"Whatever, have fun in time!" Saying that, Feng Yang continued to tease Xuanhu again, and said, "Oh, Qiu Ye~ You turn around and look at me!" ”
Shen Zhou's thoughts were already far away at this moment, and he drew a little bit of the prototype of the great cause he wanted to promote in the future, and planned to start preparing after his eye injury healed.
