Ling Fox Zhenzhen opened her eyes and looked around blankly.

Pear blossom trees are planted all over the mountains, and on a rainy night in early spring, the snow-covered pear blossoms look pale and strange in the dark night, and the rain falls on them, fluttering loudly.

She doesn't know here, lost?

The biting rain rolled down the scalp and down the forehead, making it icy and itchy. As if she could suddenly feel the cold, she began to shiver from the cold, and subconsciously took a step and walked along the lush pear blossom forest to the hillside.

The rain was heavy, the night was deep, and there were lights flickering high above, so there should be someone there.

On the top of the slope, there was indeed a large mansion, the courtyard wall was extremely high, the courtyard gate was extremely narrow, and two bright candles were jumping in the twisted black iron lampstand.

The courtyard door was ajar, and there was a woman inside who was yelling something fiercely, so that Fox Zhenzhen poked half of her head into it curiously, and saw a big house in the courtyard in all directions, and the doors and windows were all framed with black iron. In front of the house, there was a tall woman in a bamboo and green shirt skirt, pinching a flat pole and screaming and chasing three or four short wild demons, running from one end to the other, the wild demons did not hit a few times, she herself was tired and panting.

This person can't do it, and he will be scratched in the face soon.

Ling Fox Zhenzhen immediately came to her senses, and gently pushed the courtyard door, and the wild demons reacted so quickly, screaming and pounced, trying to scratch this nosy person away.

The tall woman couldn't help but exclaim, "Get out of the way!"

Ling Fox Zhenzhen had already turned sideways to let their sharp nails go, and stretched out her hand towards her: "Flat Dan." ”

The woman hesitated for a moment, then threw the flat pole out, only to see that she beat several wild demons into a screaming and screaming with three strikes and five divided by two, and threw one in one hand directly out of the courtyard wall.

The rain became heavier and heavier, so Fox Zhenzhen brushed her wet hair and gently handed it back.

The lights in front of the house flickered, illuminating her face, her eyes were so clear that they looked like brown gems, a few locks of hair stuck to her white cheeks, and droplets of water dripping down her bright red lips, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like she could beat the wild demon to scream.

The tall woman was first shocked by her extremely flexible and crisp skills, and then shocked by her unusually beautiful appearance, and then thought of the wild demons everywhere in the wilderness, she was a girl who appeared alone in this wilderness late at night, it was really weird, and she couldn't help but murmur: "Thank you for your help...... You, you're ......"

"I feel like I'm lost. Ling Fox Zhenzhen tilted her head slightly, and her soft voice carried an indescribable calmness, "Let me stay for one night, okay? ”

What does money mean? Isn't she helping each other? And asking for money?

Master's voice suddenly came from behind the door: "Yan Jun, tell you to leave those wild demons alone! Come back quickly! The mantra has not been embroidered yet, if you are scratched, how can you embroider!"

Wu Yanjun said: "Master, the wild demon was beaten away by a girl, and she said that she wanted to stay overnight. ”

She felt a little hanging, the master has never been a kind old man, but the yin and yang are the most weird, and in the past few days, because the senior sister has left the master's mansion after a big quarrel with her, she has become even worse, and it is difficult to take in outsiders for one night or something.

The door of the house was opened, and when the master saw the girl who was dripping water from head to toe, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then showed a very displeased expression, Wu Yanjun knew that the matter of staying overnight must not be possible.

Who would have thought that the master suddenly said unpolitely, "Come over here and show me your hand." ”

Ling Fox Zhenzhen neither hesitated nor hesitated, and stretched out her hand neatly.

Her hands were thin and white, and her fingers were long and straight, and there were no calluses at all—not like hands that could do things, but Master's eyes lit up when he saw them. This look reminded Wu Yanjun of the scene when she took herself as an apprentice, and she also pinched her hand and watched it for a long time.

"What's your name?" Master was reluctant to let go of these beautiful hands for a long time, and his tone was rarely kind.

"Linghu Zhenzhen. ”

"Linghu is a rare surname. I see you're alone, wandering around this wilderness when it's dark, where are you going?"

Ling Hu Zhenzhen was stunned by her question, where are you going? She didn't know, anyway, the uncle had left, so she also ran out of the mountains to see outside, it didn't matter where she went.

Seeing that she was stunned, the master simply pushed open the door of the house: "Come in." Since there is nowhere to go, it doesn't hurt to stay a few more days. ”

Ling Fox Zhenzhen was not polite, and stepped into the house with dripping water all the way, and stepped on the shiny and clean floor tiles inside all with water marks.

Wu Yanjun asked, "What do you mean when you just said you don't want money?"

She replied quickly: "I'll help you chase out the demons, and I'll spend one night in exchange." ”

It's really reasonable, but it was originally a good thing to help each other, but as soon as the money was involved, the taste changed, and she took it for granted, she always felt a little strange.

When the master saw that she was like a chicken in soup, he instructed: "Yanjun, you take Linghu to take a bath and find a thick dress for her to change into." ”

Wu Yanjun responded while muttering in his heart. She has been apprenticed to the master for more than ten years, and she has never seen the master treat strangers so kindly, could it be that Fox Zhenzhen really has any potential to do craft?

But she even has a mysterious origin, saying that she has been living in the mountains, but she doesn't know what the mountain is called or where it is, which is really suspicious.

The master didn't care, and directly left her in the master's mansion for half a month.

Wu Yanjun also enjoyed the silence of half a month very rarely, because the wild demons who often came to make trouble in the back mountains were beaten by Linghu one by one, and in recent days it has developed to the point where she went to the back mountains to wander around, and the wild demons avoided it.

Gradually, she also got used to having more Linghu Zhenzhen around her, anyway, there are countless strange things every day in the Great Wilderness, no more than her, no less than her.

On this day, the continuous spring rain is rarely stopped, the clouds disperse in the afternoon, and the sun is a little out of the sun, Wu Yanjun picked the pear blossoms and put them in the basket to dry. She was going to make some strong-smelling spices to cover the faint stench in the courtyard. The wild demons were afraid of Linghu Zhenzhen, and did not dare to enter the courtyard again, but it did not prevent them from continuing to look for trouble, and recently they had been wrapped in rotten leaves and smashed in from afar, making the stench and disgusting.

Turning the last pear blossom over, Wu Yanjun's gaze involuntarily fell on the tender yellow figure in front of the firewood room.

The master couldn't see that the little girl was sloppy, and he thought it was an eyesore, so he cut a few new clothes for Linghu these days. She is old and likes to make some fresh and delicate colors for young girls, but Wu Yanjun feels that Ling Fox Zhenzhen is more suitable for strong colors.

Her whole person, from her hair to her eyes to her complexion, seems to be lighter than ordinary people, but her lips are extremely red, her eyebrows and eyes are gorgeous, and she is tall, with a thin waist and long legs, it is not good to dress her up carefully, and she can get a peerless enchantress out.

But what she was doing at this moment was not enchanting at all, she was sharpening the axe for chopping wood, and the blade of the axe was sharpened.

Wu Yanjun said with a smile: "You have come these days, but you have done all the work we paid to hire people to do. ”

Craftsmen have never been involved in mundane things, they usually hire people to go up the mountain to clean up the courtyard and stock up firewood and water supplies. But since Ling Fox Zhenzhen stayed, she did these things directly, and she didn't even say hello.

"You still don't do this, the craftsman must take good care of his hands, don't let these heavy work of fetching water and chopping wood break their hands. ”

As soon as Wu Yanjun finished speaking, he suddenly heard a small movement outside the courtyard wall, followed by another bag of rotten leaves that were quickly thrown in, and the filth inside rolled all over the ground. She reacted very quickly, and chased after her with a flat pole, but where could she catch up, and when she saw the backs of the wild demons fleeing from a distance, she was so angry that she could only scold.

Ling Fox Zhenzhen shoveled away the filth with a dustpan and fetched water to wash the ground, while asking, "Why do they always come looking for trouble?"

Although it is normal for wild demons to cause trouble, it is very wrong to stare at them all day long without doing anything.

Wu Yanjun was still angry: "You know that there is a very big mulberry tree in the back mountain, right? When we first moved here two years ago, the senior sister picked a few mulberries, and inexplicably offended this mulberry tree demon. In the wild demons in the back mountain, he is the boss, and the wild demons are all driven by him. ”

Oh, so there was the boss.

Ling Fox Zhenzhen poured all the water in the bucket on the ground, and suddenly said: "I have lived here for half a month, and the food and clothing are yours every day, rest assured, I will definitely return the gift." ”

...... And the one who returns the favor? What kind of strange gentlemanly style is she?

Wu Yanjun glared at her angrily: "Don't be crazy enough to go to the trouble of the mulberry tree demon, he is not an ordinary little wild demon, he can smash your head with one punch! ”

I don't know if Ling Zhenzhen listened to it, she finished grinding the axe and took the silk thread to rub the rope, and rubbed it quickly and steadily.

Her hands are surprisingly steady, she does everything steadily, unhurried but very crisp. To be a craftsman, the most important thing is to have a stable hand, the master's vision is still vicious, and over time, she will be the most outstanding successor in the master's family.

However, Wu Yanjun never expected that this "most outstanding successor" would really give a gift in return the next day.

The next morning, as soon as she pushed the door open, she saw the master standing outside the door, and she didn't know what to look at. As if hearing her coming, the master pointed to the courtyard: "Are these made by Linghu?

Wu Yanjun found that the entire courtyard had been cleaned, and the vines that had originally climbed all over the courtyard wall had been cleared. In the open space of the courtyard were four hares, eight pheasants, and a pile of particularly fat fish.

She was stunned: "This is ......"

Before he finished speaking, the courtyard door was suddenly opened, and Fox Zhenzhen walked in with a tall and familiar wild demon on her back.

The tender yellow dress on her body has been soaked with black demon blood, her cheeks are also stained with a little black blood, and she is holding a shiny axe in her hand, which looks quite terrifying at first glance, but her tone is very brisk: "You said that you can't kill demons casually, so I only cut some branches and leaves from him." I told this mulberry boss that he would kowtow to you and admit his mistakes when he turned around, and he would never come to trouble again. ”

With that, she threw the demon to the ground and lined up with the hares and fat fish.

"Half a month's troubles will be settled. She had a kind of relief on her face that she had paid off her debts, "I don't owe each other now." Leave. ”
