Chapter 32: The Bell of the Beginning of Autumn
At seven o'clock in the evening, Shen Qingjiu sat at the front desk with his summer vacation homework, and the quiet atmosphere at night was just right for doing these boring things, and when doing boring things, it would make people easy to get sleepy.
Just when she was drowsy, a cold air floated from the front of the counter, Shen Qingjiu shivered, making her wake up immediately, looked up, and saw Shiyue standing in front of her, her eyebrows were tangled together, thinking about when he would leave, and said: "Yue, people are scary, they will be scared to death, and there is no sound when they walk." ”
Yueshuang stared at him with an icy chill on his body, as if he was going to transfer this chill to Shen Qingjiu's body and freeze her too.
Shen Qingjiu was seen by him, and the cold wind spread from the soles of her feet to her temples, making her feel cold all over, and said, "Is there something wrong with you, if it's okay...... You see, I'm still a student, I still have a lot of summer homework to do, and school is about to start, so this summer, I'm just like winter. ”
After a long silence, Yue finally spoke, saying, "Shao Siyu, is it really the guardian spirit of the Shen family?" ”
"Huh?"
Shen Qingjiu let out a puzzled sound in her mouth, and then, she asked Yue a question: "Have you heard the story of the Shen family, the story of the Shen family's guardian spirit?" ”
Yue nodded and said: "Shizun once told me their story, he said that Shen You, the ancestor of the Shen family, is a special person, the struggle between humans and demons, it was he who came to stop, it was he who put an end to the catastrophe that was enough to destroy the demon capital and the world, and there are two people around him who help him, that is, the guardian spirit of the Shen family, these two people will protect the Shen family for generations, and help the people of the Shen family protect the demon capital and protect the world." ”
The rumored story is exactly the same as the story that Shen Qingjiu heard from Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu's mouth, this story is not just Yue, Shen Qingjiu has also heard it since childhood, so she is no stranger to this story at all.
Shen Qingjiu thought for a moment and said, "Then do you think Shao Siyu is a person who can be trusted?" ”
Yue pursed her lips into a line and did not answer Shen Saku's question.
Shen Qingjiu blinked his eyes and asked again: "Since you can't answer my question, why do you want to worship Shao Siyu as a teacher, you don't trust him, and you still have to apprentice with him, it's not a waste of each other's ......"
Before she finished speaking, she ushered in Yue's cold and dangerous gaze, Shen Qingjiu's neck shrank, and she swallowed the words back, the dangerous taste made her dare not say too much.
Yue raised his hand and lowered the cap, his slightly pale face was hidden under the cap again, and then, he dropped a sentence: "That's my business, it has nothing to do with you." ”
After saying this, he no longer bothered about Shen Qingjiu's answer, and left the counter with a step, and went to his own room in the back, the room where the "heavy snow" would fall when the door was opened, but it was in line with Yue's temperament.
Shen Qingjiu sat down again, let out a long breath in his mouth, and muttered to himself: "What a strange person, I can't figure out what is going on in his heart...... Why, I want to know again. ”
As soon as he sat down, opened the homework book, and before he started to write the first word, he heard footsteps sound again, Shen Qingjiu thought it was the moon that went and returned, but when he looked up, he found that it was not the moon that went and returned, but the night standing in front of her.
Ye Wen looked at her with a smile and said, "What do you want to know, has our wine also started to answer people's questions?" ”
Shen Qingjiu blushed and said, "No, no, Brother Night, do you want to stay in the hotel too?" ”
The big white cat on the shoulder of the night, opened its mouth, and made a big owe, the cat seemed to never wake up, and was asleep all the time, and the night raised his hand and touched the head of the big white cat, and said: "Xiao Banxia is a little sleepy, I want to take him back to sleep, oh, I just came out of Yueqing." ”
Yueqing? Come out?
Shen Qingjiu suddenly remembered that in the morning, he came to talk to Yueqing at night, and it seemed that he didn't see him leave, so he was here to chat with Yueqing all day, chatting for such a long time, what were they talking about, what did the two big men have to talk about.
Seeing the doubts in her eyes, Ye smiled and added: "Yueqing is a very interesting person, and a very special person, the guests who live in Xiaojiu's Taiji Building are very special guests, very interesting, I will come back when I have time, Xiaojiu is going to start doing homework, it looks like a lot." ”
That homework book was stacked higher than Shen Qingjiu's arm.
Shen Qingjiu looked at these homework, his shoulders and head shrugged down, and he said listlessly: "Yes, I have a lot of homework to do." ”
Ye clenched his fists and made a "come on" gesture at Shen Qingjiu, saying: "Our wine is the best, this little summer vacation homework is not difficult to drink, come on, I won't bother you, go first, before you know it, it's dark." ”
It's not just that it's getting dark, and there are a lot fewer cars outside.
After leaving the Taiji Building at night, Shen Qingjiu sat down again, and continued to write her summer vacation homework, among the many homework, the most headache for her was mathematics, dense numbers, as if one by one tadpoles, after reading for a long time, the books seemed to have turned into water, those small tadpoles swam around on it, Shen Qingjiu wanted to catch one of them, slippery, and couldn't catch it at all.
"Forget it, go drink a glass of water first, and write with an empty mind."
Shen Qingjiu put down the pen, the homework book was spread out and did not close, so he got up and picked up his empty cup, walked out from behind the counter, walked to the water dispenser, bent down to catch the water, and while receiving the water, she was thinking in her mind.
In the morning, Shao Siyu said that he had something to go out, but he went all day, and now he hasn't come back, and he doesn't know where he went, so he shouldn't be lost, after all, he is not familiar with the demon city, the last time he went out with Yueqing, he came back for a month, this time, I don't know what he caused again.
Jingle bells, jingle bells!
Just when Shen Qingjiu was thinking about Shao Siyu, the sound of the bell suddenly rang, and Shen Qingjiu made a panic, and the hot water in the water dispenser overflowed the cup and burned her hands.
Shen Qingjiu frowned and shook her hand, blowing her hot red hand, and walked in the direction of the bell ringing, and finally, her footsteps stopped in front of the door of a room, which was a room with a yellow door, and a wooden sign in the shape of a maple leaf was hung on the door, with two words engraved on it - Liqiu, at this time, a string of bells hanging on the door was ringing non-stop.
In a room where people live, the bell will not ring unless there is no accident, unless ......
Shen Qingjiu held her breath, her heartbeat almost stopped, and she couldn't feel the pain in the place where her hand was scalded by boiling water, she stretched out her hand, held the doorknob, and turned it gently, trying not to make a little sound.
It took her nearly a minute to open the door, almost using all her strength, and when the door slowly pushed open a gap, Shen Qingjiu squinted one eye and looked inside.
There was a slight sound of noise in the room, something was rummaging for something, and the sound of teeth rubbing was heard, as if it was biting something, vaguely, Shen Qingjiu saw a figure with his back to the door, it was a furry, white figure, hunched waist, and his little buttocks swaying from side to side.
"In the Tai Chi Building, you are not allowed to enter the door of sound, raise your hands!"
After Shen Qingjiu looked at it, suddenly, he pushed the door open, jumped into the room at once, clasped his hands together, and aimed at the furry thing that was still rummaging in the room.
Her voice and movements seemed to startle the thing, and the thing immediately stopped what it was doing, turned around, opened a pair of dark eyes, and blinked a few times.
After seeing it clearly, Shen Qingjiu was also stunned for a moment, this thing was covered in white hair, all four legs were hidden under the long hair, as if his legs had disappeared, a face that looked like a goat, a pair of black eyes, as bright as a black pearl, and the most special thing was that there was a small horn on the top of his head, which was glowing, transparent, and pink.
"White ...... Bai Ze ...... Yes?! ”
As soon as Shen Qingjiu recognized this thing, this thing suddenly rushed over, startling Shen Qingjiu to take off on the spot, and the little thing rushed out from Shen Qingjiu's feet, he made a fuss, but it was not good, the string of bells outside the door rang extremely fiercely, as if he was greatly frightened.
The little thing came out of the door, and ran in the direction of the hall, don't look at his four little short legs, a long white hair, but he ran fast, especially the long hair, fluttering, very beautiful.
Shen Qingjiu chased after him and shouted loudly: "Don't run, stop!" ”
Where was the little thing willing to listen to her, only ran out quickly, and at this time, the door of the Taiji Building was pushed open from the outside, and a person walked in from the outside, and the little thing couldn't hold its feet, and it suddenly jumped to the person's body.
Shen Qingjiu also stopped, looked at it triumphantly, and said with a smile: "Run, you run again, you won't be able to run, Shao Siyu, you came back in time, you see, it's Bai Ze, alas, it's the first time I've seen Bai Ze, it's so beautiful, especially the little horn, it's still pink." ”
Shao Siyu held the little thing with both hands and took him in front of him, the four legs of the little thing kicked around, the mouth made a "squeak" sound, and a mouthful of small white teeth was exposed, and he was grinning at Shao Siyu's martial arts.
Shen Qingjiu walked over, raised his hand and patted the little thing's head, and said, "Now that they are all caught in their hands, they are not honest." ”
"Don't hit him."
Shao Siyu stopped Shen Qingjiu's movements and said, "He is still very young, what did he do, how could he make such a big movement." ”
The door of the room in "Liqiu" was still ringing, and the jingle bell, the jingle bell, the ringing of the bell, the head of the ringer.
Shen Qingjiu said: "You wait for me here now, I'll stop the sound of the bell, otherwise I will make a noise to the guests, and it will be fine soon." ”
Shao Siyu responded: "Okay." ”
He hugged the little thing, went to the back of the counter first, and waited quietly.
