"Little Ruby girl, please come in. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Wen.Net," Li Yan said.

Xiao Hongyu seemed to wake up from a dream, and said in a trance: "Yes, yes......" and then walked timidly.

She is usually smart and eloquent, but when she is in the same room with Li Yan, she is nervous for no reason.

Li Yan said: "You sit down, I'll pour you tea." ”

"No need!" Little Hongyu stood up suddenly, slamming the chair behind her.

"Master Li...... I...... I want to ask you something. ”

"What's the matter? Li Yan looked at her, his gaze gentle, just right. This gaze does not cause embarrassment and discomfort, but shows an attitude of a listener.

Xiao Hongyu's heart relaxed a little, and she began to speak: "I made a friend yesterday......"

She told Miss Shen about it to Li Yan, but unconsciously talked more and more, and even poured out her thoughts and feelings. She stopped abruptly when she spoke for most of the time, and peeked at Li Yan.

Li Yan was still looking at her so intently.

Xiao Hongyu snorted: "Master Li, you have been chattering for so long, are you tired of listening?"

Li Yan shook his head: "No, I'm very moved." ”

"Moved, because of what?"

"Because that Miss Shen and the son surnamed Hu ......" Li Yan stood up and looked out the window with his back to Xiao Hongyu: "I can really understand their feelings. Sometimes two people who love each other have to separate without even saying goodbye. However, their hearts are connected, and even if they are far away, they can understand each other's hearts. This kind of longing is not blocked by space or even time, and can exist forever......"

He turned around and smiled, "You're still young, maybe you don't understand." ”

Xiao Hongyu pouted together: "Why don't I understand?"

Li Yan smiled: "If I can, I really hope to help them a little." ”

"Master Li!" Xiao Hongyu exclaimed, "That's what I'm here to find you for!"

"Do you want me to find that son surnamed Hu?" asked Li Yan.

"Hmm!" Little Ruby nodded.

"Okay, yes......" Li Yan groaned slightly: "But why don't you go to your grandfather?

"I ...... I don't dare, I'm afraid of being scolded......" Xiao Hongyu lowered her head.

Li Yan laughed: "Don't worry, it's on me!"

"Seriously?"

"Well, is that still fake. ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Xiao Hongyu was suddenly so excited, even she didn't know why she was so excited.

"Without further ado, let's go now. Li Yan said.

The two left the inn and came to the bustling street. But the word "finding someone" is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do. "A son surnamed Hu", "eyebrows and eyes look a little like little red jade", only relying on these two clues to find people, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Xiao Hongyu looked at it one by one, like a grain passing through a grate. Li Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, people are not looking for such a way. We should go to the most well-informed place first. ”

Xiao Hongyu's eyes widened and asked, "Where are they?"

Li Yan groaned slightly: "Wine shops, gambling houses, docks...... Since he is a son, he will inevitably drink tea and play with money. Look at 1 Mao, 2 lines, 3 Chinese net, let's go to the gambling house and ask first. ”

The two immediately came to the gambling house, and Li scattered some broken silver, and asked the idlers about the son surnamed Hu. But neither the fellows nor the gamblers had ever seen this man.

So the two turned to the teahouse.

There are more than a dozen large and small teahouses in Xiangyang City, and Li Yan first found the most upscale teahouse, but still found nothing.

In the end, they searched the docks for ships coming and going from north to south, but there was still no harvest. Seeing the red sun falling, Xiao Hongyu felt very depressed. She lowered her head and said, "Alas...... It's so slim, it's too easy for me to think about it. ”

Li Yan suddenly stared at her, and asked coldly: "Little Hongyu girl, is the old man Zhenjun your own grandfather?"

Xiao Hongyu shook her head: "No." He was begging in Xiaoyao Lou at that time, and when I saw that he was lonely, I recognized him as my grandfather. Li Ye asked, "Why is this?"

Li Yan said: "Because I see that the two of you have similar faces, and there are many similarities in your demeanor and tone when you speak, so I have this question." ”

Xiao Hongyu smiled: "Then we need to say, because we are all foxes!"

But all foxes who have cultivated to the essence have a goose egg face, plus this kind of slender Danfeng eyes.

People hate this kind of look, and they deliberately gave it a name, called Fox Beauty...... Wait!"

Something suddenly occurred to her: "You mean ......"

Li Yan smiled and nodded.

"That Hu Gongzi may have also been transformed into a fox!" Little Hongyu exclaimed.

Li Yan said: "The little red jade girl is really smart and smart, and she can see through it at a point." ”

Xiao Hongyu danced happily and said, "Master Li, I'm not smart, you are the real smart person! I didn't expect you to look honest, but you have more eyes than a fox!"

Li Yan thought to himself: Is this praising me or scolding me? But he knew that Xiao Hongyu Tong was unscrupulous, so he didn't care. said: "In that case, let's follow this clue to find it." Where do you foxes usually gather?"

Xiao Hongyu pulled her chest high: "I'll ask the right person when I ask this! But all foxes, fairies, foxes and demons and the like either spend the night in the City God's Temple, or they live in tombs; the better self-built cave mansions are almost scattered in the deep mountains and old forests. When I first arrived in Xiangyang, I found a few places that looked like fox dens, let's go and have a look!"

She looked at the sunset on the horizon and said, "It's about to get dark, and it's time for the foxes to come out and act." ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Next to the tomb, the blue fire is lit.

Several foxes that had not yet cultivated stretched out their furry heads and stared vigilantly at Xiao Hongyu and Li Chan.

Xiao Hongyu smiled: "Don't be afraid, we are here to inquire about people." ”

When several foxes heard this, they came out of their burrows and babbled around the little red jade.

Xiao Hongyu put her hand on her cheeks, nodded and said, "Mmmm, do you know a Hu Gongzi?" Xiuwei should be similar to me, and he can also transform into a human form. ”

The foxes whispered, and one of the larger ones pointed northward, and barked for a long time. Although Li Yan didn't understand the meaning, he thought that he was explaining the address in detail for Xiao Hongyu.

But when he saw Xiao Hongyu, he reached out and touched their hairy heads: "Okay, you have to work hard to cultivate!" Then he walked back and said to Li Yan: "I know." There is a mass grave in the north, which no one has set foot in all year round. Later, it was occupied by a fox fairy, so it was renamed Hujiazhuang.

I guess it's the home of that Hu Gongzi. ”

Li Yan thought that this time it should be almost over, so he rushed there with Xiao Hongyu again.

The two of them walked all the way north for half an hour, and it was already completely dark, and they saw a manor standing impressively against the blue fire in the mountain col. This manor is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is Hujiazhuang. The two of them climbed the stairs and walked in.

The estate is small, but very elegant. There were a few foxes coming and going in front of the court.

Although they were not made to human form, they were able to stand on two feet. The clothes he wore were very crude, and he looked like an inferior person.

There was a fox standing under the eaves, shouting left and right, but he didn't do anything himself, and he was supposed to be a butler or something.

Xiao Hongyu stepped forward and said, "This gentleman is invited, dare to ask if there is a son surnamed Hu in the village?"

The housekeeper said: "Master Hu is my young master, do you have something to do with him?"

Xiao Hongyu said: "My sister surnamed Shen has some relationship with Hu Gongzi, so I want to invite him out to meet him......

"Oops!" the butler paused and said, "It turned out to be Miss Shen's friend, please come in, please come in! He didn't drink a sip of water or eat a bite of food for three days and three nights. I'm really afraid that if it goes on like this, he will be sad sooner or later......"

Xiao Hongyu felt a little relieved in her heart, in fact, she was a little nervous.

If you find that this Hu Gongzi is arrogant and eating and drinking, and his wife and concubine are waiting, then Miss Shen's thoughts will be in vain.

But now it seems that he is also suffering from this lovesickness. Miss Shen really didn't see the wrong person.

The two of them came to a study. But I saw a slender man in white standing with his hands in his hands, and muttered in his mouth: "The beauty rolls the beaded curtain and sits deep on the eyebrows." But when I saw the tears wet, I didn't know who I hated...... Wan'er, Wan'er, the person you hate the most at this moment should be me!"

He seemed so dazed that he didn't even notice the two of them entering the door.

Xiao Hongyu said softly: "Master Hu......"

The boy was stunned for a moment, and turned back suddenly: "Who?"

Xiao Hongyu said: "Master Hu, don't panic. I'm a friend of Sister Shen, and I'd like to invite you to come over and meet her. ”

Hu Gongzi exclaimed: "Wan'er......'s friend? Is she okay?"

Xiao Hongyu sighed, shook her head, and said, "It's not good at all. She was weak and her life was in danger. What's more, she misses you because she misses you, and if she doesn't see you again, I'm afraid she's going crazy!"

Hu Gongzi looked back and cried: "Wan'er, I'm sorry for you......"

Xiao Hongyu said: "What's the use of saying? You go and take a look at her, won't everything be solved?"

Hu Gongzi sighed heavily and said: "It's not that I, Hu, am unkind, but I really can't go!"

"Oh, what's the truth!" asked Little Hongyu, confused.

Hu Gongzi said: "Speaking of which, her illness is caused by me. If I go to see her again, won't I push her to her death?"

Xiao Hongyu was even more confused, shook her head and said, "I don't understand......"

Hu Gongzi said: "You are also a fox in the form of a cultivator, why don't you even understand this? After getting along with others for a long time, yin qi will invade the meridians and internal organs of ordinary people.

If a female fox is paired with a man, and the man's yang energy is heavy, it doesn't hurt.

But the woman is yin, and being with a fox is more terrible than any terminal illness. Wan'er contracted this strange disease because she had been with me for a long time.

I also know that it is cruel to do this, but how can I be willing to watch her die......?

Xiao Hongyu was silent for a moment, she didn't expect that people and foxes would fall in love, and there would be so many twists and turns and ups and downs. But who is to blame? If you want to blame God, it is he who has put a loving heart on everything in the world, but he has made it impossible for those who love each other to be together.

Hu Gongzi hugged his fists and said: "When you go back, please tell Wan'er, just say that I am Hu...... It's no longer right to be with her, let her just think I'm dead......" said that he hid his face and cried bitterly, grief-stricken.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Hongyu and Li Yan didn't know what to say, so they had to silently withdraw from the study.

The two of them walked all the way back in the moonlight, the moonlight was beautiful, but they were not in the mood to say a word.

Xiao Hongyu suddenly couldn't help but say, "Master Li, do you say there is any way to save this pair of miserable people?"

Li Yan shook his head: "No way." If you go against the sky, you can't accomplish anything. Not to mention the two of us, how many people with great wisdom and courage in history have finally fallen in front of Providence.

Providence is unpredictable, and providence cannot be violated......"

Xiao Hongyu suddenly said: "You are talking nonsense! In that case, why do you still want to find that sister named Mei Xue? Isn't this also acting against the sky!"

Li Yan smiled a little sadly and said, "For example, today's matter, even if we found Hu Gongzi, we couldn't get a happy result in the end. But that doesn't stop us from doing our best. If we don't do our best, who knows what Heaven's will will look like? The ancients had a saying: Obey the mandate of Heaven and do your best. That's what we're talking about. ”

Xiao Hongyu muttered: "Obey the destiny of heaven and do your best to ......"

Li Yan said: "If I say it, the matter has not reached the last moment." Look, fate will always give people some turning point in the end. ”

When the two returned to the prefect's yamen, it was late at night, and there were only soldiers patrolling the streets. Even if she couldn't wait, she would have to wait until the next day.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Xiao Hongyu called Li Yan to come to the mansion.

It stands to reason that the soldier already knew her, and should not be hindered anymore. But the two guards straightened their faces and told her that the young lady refused all guests and that no one was to see her.

Xiao Hongyu begged for a long time to no avail, just waiting to leave dejectedly. As he walked, he said, "Strange...... Yesterday was fine, why didn't you let me see you today?"

Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe her father knew about you secretly going out to play, so he grounded her." ”

Xiao Hongyu pouted: "What a stingy ghost!" But he said that if he didn't let him see him, he wouldn't let him see him?

Li Yan asked, "Where are you going?"

Little Hongyu smiled evilly: "Of course I sneaked in......" She looked happier than stealing a little hen.

Li Yan couldn't cry or laugh, sure enough, it was a fox!

Xiao Hongyu took Li Yan around to the back door of the mansion, where Miss Shen's attic was, and there were no soldiers guarding outside.

Xiao Hongyu called: "Sister Shen, Sister Shen!" I came upstairs and the window opened, Miss Shen exclaimed, "Sister Xiaohongyu, why are you here?"

Xiao Hongyu hesitated: "Sister Shen, I have news of Master Hu, do you want to hear it?"

Miss Shen suddenly lost her face and said, "Don't say it, I don't want to listen......!" Tell him to run, my dad is looking for someone to kill him!"
