Chapter 16 The knot of the heart is opened
She seemed to have seen her uncle.
He hadn't been back for months, and this time he was back in the sunset, the orange-red glow falling on his back, outlining the colors and outlines that pleased her.
His hand was gently caressing his head, and it was warm.
She liked the warmth and longed for more, but they were always unusually short, like those brilliant rays of sunset, which could not be kept.
Ling Fox Zhenzhen opened her eyes, her eyelashes were stuck together with dried blood stains, her vision was scarlet and blurred, and there was a rare person in front of her, very close.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand, grabbed his fingertips tightly, and called him in a low voice: "Uncle." ”
“...... Girl...... Why did you wake up suddenly...... Quickly put her to sleep...... It must have hurt ......."
A crisp female voice said something urgently, but she just couldn't hear it.
The fingers held in the palm of his hand are slender and warm, and the sleeves carry the scent of flowers and herbs sweetened by the sun—not uncle.
Ling Fox Zhenzhen let go of her fingers a little, feeling a little disappointed in her heart, but the hand gently touched her head, and another familiar voice whispered: "Sleep." ”
She felt tiredness come over her, and she fell into a slumber again uncontrollably.
I don't know how long it took, the sound of the wind poured into my ears, and I picked up the hair around my ears, scraping my cheeks, and it was a little itchy.
Ling Fox Zhenzhen opened her eyes again, this time there was finally no blood stains sticking, but the surroundings were extremely bright, and her eyes were full of flowers, she subconsciously raised her hand to cover it, and Ye Xiaowan's surprised voice immediately came from her side: "You're awake!"
She blinked several times before she became accustomed to the blinding light.
It seems to be an inn, and the wooden windows are painted with colored paint, although they are half-old, they are clean and gorgeous, and the sunlight outside the windows is clear, and it is a sunny day.
She was lying on the bed, Ye Xiaowan sat on the side of the bed and looked at herself in surprise, Zhou Jing had just opened the door and entered the house, Qin Xi was lazily leaning on the soft collapse by the window, blocking the light with her long sleeves, as if she was sleeping.
- The above is not important, the important thing is that each of them, with furry fox ears on their heads, looks like demon merchants who have shown demon appearance.
Ling Fox Zhenzhen couldn't help but take a breath, accidentally choked on saliva, and coughed earth-shatteringly.
Ye Xiaowan hurriedly patted her back to smooth her breath, and said continuously: "Don't panic, don't panic! This is a trick to cover your eyes!" That demon soldier of the Changyuan Demon Monarch is looking for monks everywhere, if you don't dress up like this, you can't enter the town at all, you are so seriously injured, you have to recuperate, Senior Brother Qin can only make this decision......
"It's the best policy. ”
Zhou Jing glanced at her, walked to the bedside, poured the tea himself, and handed it to Ling Hu Zhenzhen, very kindly: "Drink tea." ”
She didn't notice his rare kindness, took it and drank half of it, just when Ye Xiaowan thought she would ask where it was, who would change her clothes and something like that, she spoke very cautiously, and her tone was heavy: "Who healed me?"
"Me. Qin Xi's sleepy voice came, he put down his arm blocking the sun, and squinted at her, "What, do you want to say that you have no money?"
Ling Fox Zhenzhen closed his eyelids heavily, and he had to heal the hole in his finger for five hundred and one taels, and the ghost knew what the sky-high price would be this time. If only time were turned back, she would never enter the village.
"I ...... I said it, I reminded it. She felt that she couldn't be silent, "If something happens, I won't give money." ”
"Money, what money!"
As soon as Zhou Jing heard that they were counting those bad debts of chickens and dogs, he came to the fire, and he couldn't hold the illusion of kindness anymore, so he unceremoniously dragged her up from the bed, and inexplicably put on a threatening posture, the black fox ears on his head were straight and murderous, and his eyes were vicious.
"Listen, it's my fault that you were kidnapped by the Ten Thousand Rat Demon King, since you're awake, hurry up and beat me up, hurry up!"
He waited for her to wake up, and in the past few days he has been tormented by his own conscience, and he has been restless in his sleep, which is simply not a human life.
"Quick, why don't I give you a knife and stab me?" the golden light in his palm condensed, turning into a long knife and throwing it into her hand.
Ling Fox Zhenzhen looked down at the golden long knife, and then looked up at him: "I was arrested because I couldn't beat him, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Uncle once said that people only have the truth that they are responsible for themselves.
It was because she was not strong enough and did not have the ability to protect herself that she had to walk with Taishang. said that they were in charge of leading the way, and they were responsible for the fight, but in fact, she knew that the sentence surnamed Qin was very correct: they didn't have to let her lead the way, but she had to save their lives.
It's like putting her life in the hands of someone else, and thanks to them for saving her, she was able to save her life.
Zhou Jing didn't expect her to react like this, so she couldn't help but say angrily: "You ordinary person, you can beat a fart! I told you to stab me! No! Stab me three times! Hurry up! Lao Tzu is still waiting to eat!"
She owes a sky-high amount of healing money here, and she has to stab him, which is really annoying that her head is going to explode.
"You poke yourself. Ling Fox Zhenzhen rolled over and got out of bed, "I won't stab." ”
Ignoring Zhou Jing's irritable swearing, she bent down to put on her shoes, and suddenly felt that her clothes had changed, the red clothes had become black, smooth and soft like satin, the style was unusually dusty, and the placket was inexplicably low, revealing a small piece of collarbone and a line of bright red corset, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Ye Xiaowan smiled dryly: "Your red dress is torn and can't be worn, this dress was turned out by me in the underground palace of the Ten Thousand Rat Demon Monarch, it's just a little ...... But this is the only one that can be worn...... And there is also a mantra on it to avoid words. ”
The taste of the Ten Thousand Rats Demon Monarch is simply unbearable, she has been in the dungeon for more than half an hour, all of them are purple and green, and it is a layer of tulle at every turn, nothing can be covered, and it is easy to turn over to this set of black, except for the lower placket, there is no choice.
"That's right, Linghu girl. She quietly leaned over to Ling Fox Zhenzhen's ear, "Don't worry, when you were healing, I helped you take off your clothes, and I also pointed to the injury, Senior Brother Qin didn't see anything." ”
She knew that the bowl was still reliable, and if the two of them had escaped, the bowl would definitely listen to her and would not enter the village.
Ling Fox Zhenzhen put on her shoes and suddenly asked, "Do you have anything you want?"
Ye Xiaowan was stunned by the question, and the orange fox ears shook suspiciously: "Want, want? I, I want to ...... Eat lotus leaf lotus seed soup ......"
Where to get her this anti-seasonal lotus leaf lotus seed soup? Ling Fox Zhenzhen's head was big for a while, and she subconsciously walked to the window, and when she looked at it, the familiar colored tile roof and the neat evergreen trees beside the road were actually Shuiqing Town.
After going around for almost half a month, I went back to this place.
"Where's the Rat Demon King?" she asked.
Qin Xi said lightly: "I was injured and escaped." ”
As soon as he spoke, Fox Zhenzhen was annoyed, as if there were tens of millions of pounds of heavy silver on his shoulders, which was simply suffocating.
She took a heavy breath and turned around, but saw Qin Xi hand over a cloth bag that was not big or small: "I was in a hurry to heal you, I didn't carefully search the underground palace, I only took some silver money and bark paper, which is considered an apology." ”
She fell into a dream: "You, you say it again?"
Qin Xi only put the cloth bag in her hand: "The matter of Zhen Minzhuang is our fault first, and it is natural to save lives and heal injuries, take this well." ”
Ling Fox Zhenzhen slowly opened the cloth bag, and the thick silver ticket and the thick pile of Ruomu bark paper were put together, so that it was good to see.
There was no lion on on the top to open his mouth, and what did it mean to apologize to her upside down? She didn't seem to understand.
In the past, when she was in the mountains, her uncle often told her that when she went out in the future, she must settle all the karmic relationships, so as not to be stumped.
She felt that the settlement with the money was the fastest, clean and clear.
But the total manager surnamed Qin couldn't settle the account, she felt that the clear account was counted by him as a bottomless pit; she thought it was really a bottomless pit, so he didn't want it again, and gave an apology.
She raised her eyes to look at him, and he was also looking at her, a pair of huge fluffy snow-white fox ears dangling above her head, looking particularly good to the touch.
There was a sudden knock on the door of the guest room, but it was the man who came to deliver the fresh wild fruits and a few plates of fine pastries.
Qin Xi saw that she wanted to give money, so he simply grabbed it and said in a low voice: "If someone doesn't give you anything, you must pay it back." ”
He has figured it out, people in this great wilderness don't know much, but there are a lot of rules, and they must give what they get, and they are too lazy to settle favors with money. Her uncle didn't know how to teach her, everything was settled, her mouth was full of money, she was so seriously injured, the first sentence was money.
What is said to settle the cause and the two do not owe each other, how can the exchanges between people be so simple and rude, if the things in the world can be easily settled, why are there many disputes.
Ling Fox Zhenzhen looked at him with a confused look as if he had encountered an unsolvable problem.
She slowly struggled with it herself.
Qin Xi picked a fruit casually, but the entrance was sour and astringent, not at all as refreshing as the one she handed over in Zhenminzhuang that day.
Remembering the situation when he had just found her in the dungeon, his brow furrowed even tighter.
She was badly injured, most of the bones on the left side of her body were broken, and there were cracks in her spine, not to mention abrasions and scratches. When he carried her out of the dungeon, his clothes were stained with blood. For the first time, he noticed that human blood was so hot, and it was so hot, but it made him think of the cold word "death".
Zhou Jing took all the responsibility on his body, and he was not innocent, and there were clearly many gaps before to pull her to his side, but he probably had a rash "see what she could do" mentality, and did not help.
For extraordinary reasons, he had to come to the Great Wilderness, full of vigilance and disgust for this place. The first person he met was Linghu, who was strange from head to toe, and he always had hidden suspicions about her, speculating that she might have something hidden in the depths, and secretly pondering her seemingly innocent suspicious behavior.
However, he just reflected his antipathy to the Great Wilderness on her, a dignified monk of the first line, and his heart could not be tempered to the home, so he really shouldn't be angry.
There is no such thing as an "unusual wilderness person", she is really just an ordinary person, and he is wrong.
A slender palm stretched out in front of him, holding a green and red fruit in the palm of his hand.
Qin Xi turned his head, and the black-clothed Linghu was looking up at him, the fiery red fox ears on the top of his head were reflected golden by the sun, and his charming and long eyes really looked like a fox.
"This is sweet. Ling Fox Zhenzhen put the fruit in his hand.
He unceremoniously took it and nibbled it directly, and his eyebrows suddenly stretched.
Sure sweet.
Qin Xi glanced at her again, and the clear sunlight reflected in her amber eyes, looking bright and innocent.
He paused for a moment, and said like a ghost: "There are many things, just a thank you." ”
I have long found that she never seems to say thank you, and only uses to send things to do things as a return gift, and her unreasonable style of settlement is impersonal.
Ling Fox Zhenzhen on the other side still didn't know if she had listened, her two eyes only stared at the fox ears above his head, and she didn't blink.
Although she is no longer an "unusual wilderness person", she is still a strange wilderness person.
Forget it, just watch it if you like it, and it won't drop meat anyway.
Qin Xi calmly followed her gaze, while eating the fruit cleanly.
