Chapter 20: Injuries
As soon as Hua Mei sat back, Bi Xianqing said to Hua Mei with a vigilant face: "Bi speak, come behind me." After hearing this, Hua Mei obediently hid behind Bi Xianqing. Bi Xianqing put down the rabbit in his hand and pulled out the "flower charm".
The little fox was eating tightly, and suddenly it was full of vigilance, sniffing the air.
The surrounding atmosphere was so overwhelming that Hua Mei couldn't breathe, and suddenly the nine-tailed fox, which had been very big, came out of nowhere and snatched the food of the little nine-tailed fox.
The little nine-tailed fox screamed and was about to rush up to grab his own food, but this was more than twenty nine-tailed foxes rushing out together, and the nine-tailed fox kept the little nine-tailed fox in check, and the other nine-tailed foxes surrounded Hua Mei and Bi Xianqing.
Hua Mei was afraid to pull Bi Xianqing's sleeve, and Bi Xianqing blocked the "Hua Mei" in front of him, guarding against the attack of the nine-tailed fox at any time.
Bi Xianqing glanced at the rabbit under his feet and kicked the rabbit into the air. The nine-tailed fox jumped up and fought for the rabbit, and after a while, the rabbit didn't even have any bones left.
The nine-tailed fox was still surrounding Bi Xianqing and Hua Mei, and there was already killing intent in his eyes.
"Hua Mei, quickly take out the nine-tailed fox tail that Lu Shu gave you. Bi Xianqing shouted at Hua Mei.
"Yes, yes. Hua Mei said, and hurriedly took out the nine-tailed fox tail. The nine-tailed fox's tail glows blue. The nine-tailed fox looked at the tail and crouched on the ground as if begging for mercy. Hua Mei raised her tail high again, and the nine-tailed foxes dispersed as if frightened. After a while, he fled without a trace. Only the bitten little nine-tailed fox remained.
Hua Mei and Bi Xianqing breathed a sigh of relief. Bi Xianqing put away the "flower charm", and secretly sobered up that he was fortunate to have met Lu Shu, otherwise he would have died and been injured by the nine-tailed fox.
Hua Mei looked at the injured little nine-tailed fox and slowly walked over to save it. But the closer the flower charm, the more scared the nine-tailed fox became. Because he couldn't move, the little nine-tailed fox could only struggle to shrink himself smaller and smaller.
"You put the nine-tailed fox's tail away and move closer to it. Bi Xianqing reminded that he slowly came over.
Hua Mei put away the tail of the nine-tailed fox, and the little nine-tailed fox was really not so afraid. But I still looked at the flower charm vigilantly.
"Hua Mei, be careful!" Bi Xianqing reminded Hua Mei. The little nine-tailed fox bared its teeth at Hua Mei, looking like a kidnapped child crying hard, but it was just a useless struggle.
Hua Mei continued to probe it, and the little nine-tailed fox finally lost his strength, fell to the ground and gasped, and made a whining sound in his mouth, as if to express his acceptance of his fate and let Hua Mei slaughter him.
Hua Mei slowly stroked the little nine-tailed fox's head, looking at the wounds on its neck and legs. The wound on the neck is not very deep, it is just a wound to the skin. But the wound on his leg was gurgling and bleeding, and the two snow-white tails had been dyed red.
"Ah Yue, it's injured, it's serious, come and take a look. Hua Mei turned around and said anxiously to Bi Xianqing.
Bi Xianqing came over and squatted down, carefully examining the wound for the little nine-tailed fox. The little nine-tailed fox realized that these two people had no malicious intent, and his tense body relaxed, his tongue licked the tip of his nose, and the warning whimper turned into a helpless cry for help.
"Let's bandage its wound first, stop the bleeding first, it won't die for a while. I can only let it hold out as much as it can to the Van Xiang Valley. Bi Xianqing said calmly.
"But it will take at least three days to get to the Van Xiang Valley, will it be able to survive it?" asked Hua Mei. They hadn't met a single person on the road since they had seen anyone except for the Seven Star Kingdom.
"It's okay, the ancient books say that the nine-tailed fox has nine lives. Although this little nine-tailed fox has not yet practiced Taoism, it is not so easy to die. Bi Xianqing said as he tore off a few strips of cloth from his clothes and bandaged the nine-tailed fox.
"Hua Mei, you hold it, I'll stop the bleeding. Bi Xianqing said.
"Good. You lighten a little. Hua Mei instructed.
Bi Xianqing gently held up the leg of the nine-tailed fox and bandaged it with a strip of cloth, but because of the wound involved, the nine-tailed fox still twitched in pain.
Hua Mei gently stroked the head of the nine-tailed fox and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just hold on." ”
Bi Xianqing bandaged the nine-tailed fox neatly, and he had already gotten a hand of blood, and bandaged the neck of the nine-tailed fox. "Alright, almost. Bi Xianqing said.
Hua Mei nodded, picked up the little nine-tailed fox, and the little nine-tailed fox did not refuse, nesting in Hua Mei's arms. "Let's take it to Van Xiang Valley with us, you see how cute it is. Hua Mei said with a smile.
Bi Xianqing said: "The nine-tailed fox is very cunning, it is better for you to be careful." ”
"Bi is so indifferent, it still looks very well-behaved. Hua Mei said.
"Well, take it with you if you want. Bi Xianqing had no choice but to compromise.
"Little guy, is it okay to call you Xiao Jiu in the future, you are a nine-tailed fox, and this name is also very suitable for you. Hua Mei said to the nine-tailed fox, the nine-tailed fox just didn't move, and Hua Mei added to herself: "If you don't speak, then I'll take you as a promise, Xiao Jiu, don't regret it!"
Bi Xianqing couldn't help but laugh out loud when she looked at the flower charm who was talking to herself. The little fox couldn't understand her, and she was there pretending to be like a little fox could understand.
"What are you laughing at?" Hua Mei asked Bi Xianqing with a pout.
"Nothing, nothing. Bi Xianqing said with a smile. Hua Mei was still there and continued to talk to the little nine-tailed fox, and Bi Xianqing laughed again.
"Bi Xianqing, what the hell is so funny. There was already displeasure on Hua Mei's face.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's rest, you're done tossing it. Bi Xianqing put away his smile, pinched his waist with both hands and said to Hua Mei.
"Xiao Jiu, can we sleep well, and I will make you something to eat tomorrow. Hua Mei said to the little nine-tailed fox.
Bi Xianqing laughed again, laughing and saying intermittently: "It doesn't understand, it's useless for you to tell it." ”
"I think it's okay to understand it, who I talk to is none of your business. Hua Mei glanced at Bi Xianqing. Put the little fox under the tree, sit next to the nine-tailed fox and lean against the tree to sleep.
Bi Xianqing smiled and walked over to cover Hua Mei with a dress, and joked about Hua Mei: "You should say good night to Xiao Jiu, otherwise how can Xiao Jiu sleep well." ”
Hua Mei pulled her clothes and scolded angrily: "Bi Xianqing, you are too much." I'm just adopting a nine-tailed fox, what are you laughing at? ”
"Okay, okay, no more trouble. I'm asleep too, and I'm going to be on my way tomorrow morning. Bi Xianqing leaned on the other side of the tree, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Hua Mei glared at Bi Xianqing, covered her clothes and slept by herself.
The sun gradually rose from the top of the mountain, shining on the faces of Hua Mei and Bi Xianqing, and last night's bonfire had long since turned into a pile of gray coal, and a few branches that had not burned out were still flashing with sparks, crackling and sparkling.
The little nine-tailed fox opened his eyes and tried to get up, although his injured leg still couldn't use his strength, but he could barely walk. Xiao Jiu circled around and came back with a pheasant in his mouth. Xiao Jiu touched Hua Mei's hand with his nose, and licked Hua Mei's palm, and Hua Mei slowly opened her eyes.
"Xiao Jiu, you're up. Hua Mei said with a smile.
Bi Xianqing also opened his eyes when he heard Hua Mei's voice, and stretched his waist.
Bi Xianqing looked at Hua Mei teasing the little fox, Bi Xianqing got up and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go find something to eat." After eating, we hit the road. ”
Xiao Jiu pulled Hua Mei's clothes, put the pheasant in front of Hua Mei's eyes, and put his two paws in front of him and lay down obediently.
"Xiao Jiu, did you catch this?" Hua Mei asked.
Xiao Jiu licked Hua Mei's hand as an answer.
Hua Mei turned her head and looked at Bi Xianqing proudly and said, "You see that my Xiao Jiu has prepared breakfast for us, you see how powerful Xiao Jiu is." ”
Bi Xianqing hugged his arms and put them on his chest, and said with a smile: "Little fox, you are so powerful, you are really a fox." Xiao Jiu raised his head arrogantly after hearing this.
"You still say that Xiao Jiu can't understand words, can't Xiao Jiu understand? My Xiao Jiu is really powerful. Hua Mei couldn't suppress the surprise in her heart.
"Okay, okay, awesome. Bi Xianqing said, "Then I'll go roast chicken." ”
Bi Xianqing picked up some firewood and lit it at night, and before it burned out, the charcoal fire made another fire. Roast the pheasant over the fire. "If we can cross Xiaoshan today, we will be able to reach Fanxiang Valley in two days. ”
"When the time comes, take Xiao Jiu to Fanxiang Valley together, and Xiao Jiu's injury will soon be healed. Hua Mei said with a smile.
"Are Zhang Daochang's ashes okay?" asked Bi Xianqing.
"I've been keeping it safe. Hua Mei stroked Xiao Jiu and said. Xiao Jiu narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.
"Alright, let's eat the chicken. Bi Xianqing broke off the two chicken legs and Hua Mei one by one, and threw the rest to Xiao Jiu.
"Little fox, you have the most credit for today, and the rest will be given to you. Xiao Jiu jumped up to catch the roast chicken, forgot about his injury when he landed, accidentally hurt the wound, and began to eat the roast chicken with satisfaction.
"What a foodie. Hua Mei looked at Xiao Jiu and scolded.
After Xiao Jiu finished eating satisfied, he limped to Hua Mei's side and rubbed it. The fluffy ears rubbed against the palm of the flower charm, and the flower charm was a little itchy, and retracted her hand with a smile.
Bi Xianqing looked up at the big sun overhead, this is already hot like this in the morning, if it is noon!
"Hua Mei, let's go quickly, we don't want to leave if it's too hot at noon. Bi Xianqing looked back at Hua Mei and said.
"Good. Hua Mei said while frolicking with Xiao Jiu.
Bi Xianqing glanced at the little fox, his heart was full of displeasure, since this little thing came, Hua Mei transferred all her ideas to it. If this and the little thing stay around, then it's okay, and you must find a way to get rid of this little thing. Bi Xianqing thought to herself.
"Hua Mei, let's go!" Bi Xianqing led the horse with a smile, and there was no good idea at first glance.
"Hmm. Hua Mei took the reins of the horse and turned over on the horse, Xiao Jiu lay on the ground and looked at Hua Mei with aggrieved eyes.
Bi Xianqing ignored Xiao Jiu, turned over and said, "Let's go, it's almost dark and you can pass Xiaoshan." ”
