After Qi Ze finished speaking, Chu Duan seemed to be told something, he lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he was smiling.

"However, I have to remind you that August 15 is the festival of the gods-" Qi Ze's words were not finished, he deliberately dragged out the end of the note, and the remaining unspoken words were self-evident.

Qi Ze seemed to be able to guess Chu Duan's intentions, and Chu Duan could also guess Qi Ze's unspoken words: "This matter, please ask Uncle Shi to help me keep it secret." ”

"I'm not curious about this kind of thing, and I won't say it. After Qi Ze finished speaking, he poured another cup of tea for himself: "However, I have to remind you that you are a child with fairy roots, and feelings are ...... such things."

As soon as Qi Ze said this, Chu Duan's heart subconsciously followed for a moment, a feeling of incomprehension, as if it was ...... It's like I've been told something terrible.

"I know. Chu Duan followed Qi Ze's words and said: "I am only a senior brother's friendship with my junior sister, and I will not have any other feelings. ”

Qi Ze looked straight at Chu Dui, as if he was observing something, but Chu Duan's expression was calm, so that Qi Ze couldn't see the slightest superfluous emotion - Chu Duan was like this, from childhood to adulthood, he was very good at hiding his emotions.

"Then I'm very curious, what kind of ability does Fu Chu have to let you protect her like this?" Qi Ze looked at Chu Duan with interest: "Because you picked her up and brought her back to the master's door?"

After Qi Ze finished speaking, Chu Duan paused, he raised his eyes, his gaze fell on Qi Ze's body, and his thoughts drifted far away.

At that time, Chu Dui was the year of the dancing spoon, and he went down the mountain alone with the task given by the master. That was the first time he had come down the mountain, and as soon as he got down the mountain, he found a little girl who seemed to be lost, and the girl was not noisy or noisy, but sat there obediently, as if waiting for something.

Out of curiosity, Chu Duan walked towards the girl and slowly squatted down in front of her: "Why are you here alone?"

The girl didn't seem to be afraid of life, she blinked her eyes and looked at Chu Duan, and after a pause, she spoke: "Master brought me here, he said he had something to do, let me wait here." ”

When the girl said this, Chu Duan also believed it. However, when Chu Duan finished the task and was about to go up the mountain, he saw the girl at the foot of the mountain again.

It was getting late, and the girl was still sitting alone, as well-behaved as a tamed rabbit.

Chu Duan stopped and stared at the girl for a while before deciding to walk towards the girl.

"It's so late, why are you still here?"

After speaking, the girl also raised her head, she looked at Chu Duan aggrievedly, and the watery moonlight fell softly in her eyes, with a hint of crystal.

"I haven't waited for my master to ......" After a while, the girl spoke, and there seemed to be a hint of crying in her tone.

"I'm afraid that Master won't find me when he comes back, so I don't dare to wander around......" The girl muttered quietly, her little hands tugging at her sleeves.

"Did your master tell you anything besides asking you to wait here?" Chu Duan asked, the night is getting deeper, the mountain is so dangerous, this girl is so lonely to stay here, maybe something will happen.

After Chu Duan finished speaking, the girl seemed to suddenly remember something: "There is ......"

As she spoke, she put her little hand into her pocket, and then took out a piece of paper that was rolled up and handed it to Chu Dui: "Master said that there will be a little boy coming down the mountain today, if you see him, give him this note......"

The girl waited for a day, did not wait for the master, and did not see the little boy other than Chu Dui, she sat there obediently, looking at Chu Duan quietly.

Chu Duan took the note from the girl's hand, and then carefully opened it, the moonlight was soft, and sprinkled on the note, not many words were written on the note, after Chu Duan finished reading, he rolled the note again, and his eyes fell on Fu Chu's body again.

His expression was a little complicated, which made the girl's heart can't help but rise.

Chu Duan stared at the girl for a while before reaching out to the girl and motioning for her to hold his hand: "Let's go, your master won't come back." ”

"......?" the girl looked at Chu Duan in disbelief, at this moment, she looked like a discarded little milk cat in Chu Duan's eyes: "But Master said that I was waiting here......"

"The person your master asked you to wait for is me. Chu Duan's tone softened a little, as if he was comforting the girl's wounded little heart.

Seeing that the girl was still a little hesitant, Chu Duan's voice became more gentle: "It's too dangerous for you to be alone at the bottom of the mountain, I'll take you up the mountain first, and after a while, your master will come to you." ”

The girl stared at Chu Duan for a few seconds before placing her hand on Chu Dui's palm.

Chu Duan saw the girl's hand coming up, so he slowly squeezed her hand, and then pulled her up from the stone: "Let's go, after you go up the mountain, I will take care of you." ”

"Then will I wait until Master?" the girl raised her head and looked at Chu Dui.

After the words fell, Chu Duan couldn't help but pause in his heart: "Yes." ”

After Chu Duan finished speaking, he couldn't help but hold the girl's hand tightly, and the handwriting on the note resurfaced in Chu Dui's mind, he knew that her master would not come again, and she couldn't wait for her master.

After the two of them walked quietly for a while, Chu Duan opened his mouth to break the silence: "My name is Chu Duan, what is your name?"

"Fuchu—"

...... Chu Duan was thinking about it, when he was forced to pull back his thoughts by a snap of his fingers.

"What are you thinking?" Qi Ze's voice fell into Chu Duan's ears again, making Chu Duan come back to his senses all of a sudden.

He was thinking...... The day he picked her up.

Qi Ze stared at Chu Duan for a while, and then couldn't help laughing: "It seems that this little fox still has some ability." ”

"She doesn't like people calling her that. Chu Duan corrected indifferently.

"Okay, okay, I won't call it that in the future. ”

Perhaps, no one thought that the little girl that Chu Duan picked up at the bottom of the mountain that day was actually a fox demon. Even Chu Duan himself didn't expect that the little girl he brought up with one hand would actually ...... one day Got a fox tail?

"Even if you pick her up and bring her back to the master's door, you don't have the obligation to protect her for the rest of her life. Qi Ze saw that Chu Duan didn't speak, so he spoke.

Chu Duan was not surprised at all to hear this sentence from Qi Ze's mouth, he knew very well that his senior uncle - although he seemed kind and kind, but in some aspects, he was not soft-hearted at all, and everyone would not guess how much blood this senior uncle who never seemed to kill had been stained on his hands, because in their eyes, this kind of thing seemed to have nothing to do with Qi Ze at all.

The air was quiet, and after a while, Chu Duan's voice came into Qi Ze's ears leisurely: "I promised her to protect her." ”
