Chapter 22: Change of heart
Xiao Jiu knew that there was another way. Although he didn't know why he was so sure.
"Xiao Jiu knows. Bi Xianqing said firmly to Hua Mei.
"How do you know, what Xiao Jiu thinks, can you know?" Hua Mei asked disdainfully.
"Hua Mei, believe me, I don't know how to say this, but when I look at Xiao Jiu's eyes, I know that Xiao Jiu knows. Bi Xianqing looked at Hua Mei and didn't believe herself, and said anxiously.
"Well, I believe in you, and I also believe in my little nine. Hua Mei smiled and touched Xiao Jiu's head.
Bi Xianqing only looked at Hua Mei carefully, Hua Mei's hair was already soaked, her bangs were attached to her forehead, and the lake blue gauze skirt was wet and tightly attached to her body, outlining Hua Mei's figure.
Bi Xianqing looked at Hua Mei and lowered his head, took a piece of clothing and handed it to Hua Mei, "Put it on first, Bi is cold." ”
Hua Mei looked at the clothes on her body, blushed and took the clothes handed by Bi Xianqing and put them on her body.
"That's right!" Bi Xianqing suddenly slapped his thigh, "Zhang Daochang's ashes!"
Hua Mei is redressing Xiao Jiu's wounds. Xiao Jiu's wound was almost healed, and it didn't seem to be a big deal. was taken aback by Bi Xianqing's shout, and when she heard Bi Xianqing say about the ashes, Hua Mei took out a small jar and handed it to Bi Xianqing, "The sea bowl that filled Zhang Daochang's ashes before was too broken, and it was not easy to carry, so I changed to a small jar and never told you." The jar is well sealed, and Zhang Daochang's ashes will be fine. ”
Bi Xianqing breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed Hua Mei's head with a smile and said, "It's still my Hua Mei's thoughtfulness." ”
Hua Mei took Bi Xianqing's hand away in disgust and cut her hair herself.
The heavy rain fell for two hours before it stopped, and Bi Xianqing and Hua Mei were on fire, and their clothes were almost dry.
Bi Xianqing stood at the door of the cave and took a fresh breath, looked back at Xiao Jiu with a smile and said, "Little fox, let's go!"
Xiao Jiu got up lazily, looking at the messy wounds that Hua Mei bandaged it, Bi Xianqing felt Xiao Jiu's disgust.
Bi Xianqing smiled and said to Xiao Jiu: "Bi is disgusted, let's go!"
After hearing this, Xiao Jiu raised his head and glanced at Bi Xianqing, and slowly walked in front to lead the way. Hua Mei followed behind Xiao Jiu and asked Bi Xianqing puzzled: "Can Xiao Jiu understand your words?"
Bi Xianqing said with a smile: "I don't know what's going on, I seem to know what Xiao Jiu is thinking now, for example, it just dislikes that the wound you bandaged was too ugly." ”
"Bi Xianqing!" Hua Mei roared loudly, throwing the burden she was carrying on Bi Xianqing.
Bi Xianqing easily took the burden, pointed to Xiao Jiu who was walking in front and said, "This is really what Xiao Jiu thought just now, don't blame me." You see that you wrapped Xiao Jiu's leg like a chicken leg, and it's normal for Xiao Jiu to be unhappy. ”
After Bi Xianqing finished speaking, he hurriedly pulled his horse and ran to chase Xiao Jiu, regardless of the angry Hua Mei who was left behind.
After a while, Hua Mei also caught up, looking at Bi Xianqing's Xiao Jiu who was walking side by side, he snorted coldly and didn't speak. Xiao Jiu ran to Hua Mei's side and rubbed Hua Mei's skirt. Hua Mei said angrily: "You touched me and soiled my skirt!"
Xiao Jiu seemed to feel Hua Mei's unhappiness, and looked at Bi Xianqing, who shook his head and continued to walk his own way. Xiao Jiu watched Hua Mei ignore herself, and ran to the front to lead the way.
Bi Xianqing looked at Hua Mei flatteringly and said, "Xiao Jiu is really well-behaved, fortunately you took it in." ”
Hua Mei looked at Bi Xianqing and said, "I didn't know who was going to throw it away." He looked at Xiao Jiu and continued: "Xiao Jiu, you don't know yet, you are now bullying me with someone who is going to throw you." ”
Xiao Jiu turned around, and Bi Xianqing said: "It's okay Xiao Jiu, just continue to lead the way, don't worry about her." Xiao Jiu turned around again and continued to walk forward.
Xiao Jiu took Hua Mei and Bi Xianqing and walked a stone path and entered a cave. This cave is similar to the one where I used to shelter from the rain. Bi Xianqing sighed at God's miraculous workmanship, such a deep cave, even if you go to the innermost, there is light coming in, and there is no need for torches at all. What's even more amazing is that the cave is also very large, and Bi Xianqing's big black horse used to be calm.
Xiao Jiu kept walking along the cave, there were many forks in the cave, Xiao Jiu walked through about four or five forks, Bi Xianqing and Hua Mei saw the light of the cave from a distance.
Xiao Jiu ran forward a few steps excitedly, but there was a wound. Xiao Jiu whined a few times, and walked forward slowly and honestly.
"Xiao Jiu, the injury is not healed, so he is in a hurry. Wait until you're healed. Bi Xianqing felt Xiao Jiu's emotions and said with a smile.
Xiao Jiu turned his head and glanced at Bi Xianqing, and ran to Hua Mei's side. "Now you know that I'm still good to you. Hua Mei tapped Xiao Jiu's head with her fingers. Xiao Jiu meekly licked Hua Mei's fingers.
"Xiao Jiu, why did you change your mind so quickly, didn't you still dislike her just now?" Bi Xianqing said.
"Xiao Jiu, don't pay attention to him. Hua Mei glanced at Bi Xianqing, and then said to Xiao Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, you are really a little clever ghost, you took us out so quickly." Scratching Xiao Jiu's ears as he spoke, Xiao Jiu stretched his neck comfortably.
Two people, two horses, and a fox walked out of the cave after a while, Bi Xianqing looked up at the sky, it was still bright, and they should have been gone for less than an hour. The exit of the cave was a flat meadow, and it seemed that they had reached the bottom of the mountain, but they did not feel the change in the terrain when they walked in it just now. Bi Xianqing looked at the grass in front of him, as if he couldn't find the direction.
"Where should we go now?" Hua Mei asked Bi Xianqing.
"Where should we go now?" Bi Xianqing looked at Xiao Jiu again. Xiao Jiu looked at Hua Mei again.
"Xiao Jiu, I just praised you for being a little clever ghost, why aren't you clever now?"
"You blame Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu is at least stronger than you, and took us out of Xiaoshan. Hua Mei argued for Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu glanced at Hua Mei, and then looked at Bi Xianqing, Bi Xianqing also looked at Xiao Jiu, and after a while, Bi Xianqing said to Hua Mei: "Take out the nine-tailed fox tail that Lu Shu gave you, Xiao Jiu said that with the tail, we can know where to go." ”
"Just holding the tail?" said Hua Mei, "but I'll be scared if I hold the tail." ”
"Xiao Jiu said let you take it out, and Brother Lu Shu also said that you won't get lost in Xiaoshan with the nine-tailed fox tail, you don't believe that Xiao Jiu and I should also believe in Lu Shu. Bi Xianqing said.
Hua Mei took out the fox's tail from her baggage, and there was nothing magical about the fox's tail. "It seems that tails are useless. Hua Mei looked up and said to Bi Xianqing.
"Xiao Jiu, what should I do next?" Bi Xianqing asked Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu knocked on the ground with his front paws, and Bi Xianqing said to Hua Mei: "You put the fox's tail on the ground." ”
Flower Charm puts the fox's tail on the ground. Xiao Jiu pulled Bi Xianqing out, and Bi Xianqing pulled Hua Mei back, "Xiao Jiu, let's go a little farther." Hua Mei obediently followed Bi Xianqing and took ten steps back.
Xiao Jiu looked at the nine-tailed fox tail on the ground, first rolled on the ground a few times, and then fell on the ground and whined and whimpered, as if he was praying for something.
Hua Mei Lala's arm asked, "What is Xiao Jiu doing?"
"I don't know, I can't feel what Xiao Jiu is thinking now. Bi Xianqing said. The two of them looked at Xiao Jiu intently.
Xiao Jiu whimpered for a while, then suddenly jumped up, limped around his tail a few times, jumped around from his tail again, and finally fell to the ground and whimpered, and all nine tails stood up.
Hua Mei was a little scared in her heart, thinking that Xiao Jiu was crazy.
Xiao Jiu stopped whimpering, and the fox's tail hung in the air as if someone was holding it, and it stopped after a few turns. After a while, it fell again.
Xiao Jiu shouted at Bi Xianqing and Hua Mei, motioning for them to come over, and Bi Xianqing took Hua Mei's hand and slowly approached.
Xiao Jiu arched the flower charm with his nose, "Xiao Jiu asked you to praise it." Bi Xianqing looked at Xiao Jiu and said with a smile.
"Xiao Jiu, you are so powerful! Hua Mei smiled and touched Xiao Jiu's head and said.
"Let's hurry up, we're going to have to spend the night outside tonight. Bi Xianqing watched Hua Mei and Xiao Jiu play endlessly, and urged.
"Okay, Xiao Jiu, let's go. Hua Mei gently patted Xiao Jiu's head.
"I don't think Xiao Jiu is an ordinary nine-tailed fox, looking at Xiao Jiu just now, it looks like a spirit beast that has been cultivating for many years. Hua Mei whispered to Bi Xianqing.
"What do you think, isn't it just a little fox all the time? Bi Xianqing didn't care, picked up the fox tail on the ground and handed it to Hua Mei. Bi Xianqing also had a slight doubt, but he didn't say it.
Xiao Jiu led the two of them to walk forward in the direction their tails pointed. Xiao Jiu jumped around excitedly along the way, although he was lame, he was still very lively.
"Since this little fox is so energetic, let him find something to eat tonight. Bi Xianqing said with a smile.
"No, Xiao Jiu's injuries are not healed yet. Hua Mei said.
The sky was getting darker, and the outline of the Kuju Mountains could already be seen in the distance. The night covered everything with a black veil, except for a little golden light shining on the top of the nine-storied mountain in the distance.
"That should be Kujuyama. Hua Mei said, pointing to the little golden light in the distance.
"It should be, it seems that we are not far from the Kuju Mountain. Bi Xianqing said with a smile.
"Let's rest for a while, Xiao Jiu should be tired. Hua Mei and Bi Xianqing rode horses, and Xiao Jiu walked in front by himself. Because Xiao Jiu was needed to guide the way, Hua Mei did not take Xiao Jiu with her.
"Well, it's already dark, it's time to rest. Bi Xianqing said.
Bi Xianqing and Hua Mei walked forward for a while, found a flat and dry place and stopped.
Bi Xianqing took off the burden of the horse and tied the horse to the grassy ground for the horse to graze.
