Disappointingly, the inside of the box did not exude the expected jewels. On the contrary, as the lid opened, a pungent sour smell came out. The fox demon girl covered her nose and muttered with disgust:

"What are you doing here, why do you stink so much!"

Bai Xiaoyi scratched his head embarrassedly:

"Hehe, I'm smiling, the thing has been sitting for a long time, and it does taste a little. As he spoke, he took out a string of oily and slippery Buddha beads on the quilt plate, and said with nostalgia: "This string of beads belonged to Master Ci'en who adopted me at the beginning. I'm an orphan, and if it weren't for the master who left me behind, I'm afraid I would have frozen to death outside. I was going to grow up and give the old monk a pension, but unfortunately he didn't wait for this day. This string of Buddhist beads is the only thing left by the old monk. ”

Seeing the young man's somewhat sad appearance, the girl asked softly:

"What about the old monk?"

Bai Xiaoyi pointed to a stone tablet in the corner of the courtyard:

"Right down there, when the old monk died, I was only eight years old. That night, I knocked on the doors of the whole street, but only the fat brother was willing to pay for me to bury the old monk. Since then, I have been the only one living in this temple, and when I am afraid, I take out this string of Buddhist beads. Because the old monk said that this string of Buddhist beads was opened by him to avoid ghosts and gods. I've always kept it as a treasure, and I don't sell it for any money. ”

Wrinkled her good-looking little nose, the fox demon girl muttered in a low voice:

"In the end, it's still a string of broken beads. ”

She picked up a clay bowl with a broken gap and asked:

"And what is this? Antique?"

"Uh...... That's not the case...... This is my former rice bowl......" Looking at the girl's disdainful look, Bai Xiaoyi continued to add: "Don't underestimate it! When I was nine years old, I once didn't eat for three days and almost starved to death. At that time, I happened to see someone using this bowl to feed the dog, and I was really hungry, so I got into a fight with the dog. Although I was bitten twice, I still won, and then I grabbed the bowl of rice. ”

Looking at the radiant young man, the little fox demon felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. Although she didn't grow up in the blessed land of Qingqiu, she could have whatever she wanted in the Tianji Pavilion where she lived since she was a child, and she never worried about food and clothing. She never thought about how far a person must go to compete with wild dogs on the side of the road for food.

Carefully putting the pottery bowl down, she picked up another piece of children's clothes with patches on top of them, and asked:

"What about this?"

Looking at the somewhat moldy clothes, Bai Xiaoyi said even more ostentatiously:

"I'm telling you, this dress is too big. Until I was 10 years old, I wore the remaining robes of the temple. But those clothes were worn and old, and they didn't fit well, and they broke after wearing them a few times. Later, during the Spring Festival that year, my fat sister-in-law specially made this new dress for me, and I was very happy at that time. This is my first new dress since I can remember. It's a pity that it didn't take long for me to accidentally hang up a hole, and I was sad for a few days. ”

The boy lovingly stroked a patch on his shirt and continued:

"The old people often say that there are three years inside and three years outside, and another three years for sewing and mending. But I couldn't wear this dress after two years, so I kept it in a box. ”

The fox demon girl looked at the shabby clothes in a daze, she had a unique identity and status in the Tianji Pavilion, and she had the best living and eating. She had never worn old clothes, but for some reason, she looked at the torn clothes that she would never wear in her life, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of envy, as if there was a strong human touch on that dress.

Seeing the indifferent appearance of the girl next to her, Bai Xiaoyi's face-saving temper resurfaced. He rummaged for a long time, and found a piece of animal bone pendant wrapped in a silk handkerchief from the bottom:

"This is a treasure, isn't it? This thing is the only token that the old monk had on him when he picked me up!"

Looking at the strangely shaped beast bone pendant, the little fox demon's interest suddenly rose. She snatched it into her hand, carefully groped for the carved lines on it, and exclaimed with a little surprise:

"It's a penny! You actually have a penny on this pendant!"

Looking at the girl's surprised appearance, the young man suddenly burst into joy. But after pondering for a long time, he asked with some doubts:

"Licking the text, what is it called licking the text, licking out the text?"

Listening to the question of the young donkey's lips not being the horse's mouth, the little fox demon said with disdain:

"What a lick! It's disgusting. It's the destruction of the heavens...... Forget it, forget it, you don't understand ......"

The girl, who usually has little patience, simply ignored the boy's stubble, she groped carefully for a long time, and put down the pendant with some disappointment.

"It's a pity, I knew that I had learned more from Uncle Wu, and I couldn't understand what was written on it at all......"

Bai Xiaoyi, who wanted to ask a few more words, saw the girl's puffing appearance, and immediately swallowed back the words that were spit out to his mouth. After sulking for a while, the fox demon girl turned her head and asked:

"These are the babies you are talking about?"

The young man nodded.

"Cut...... It's really boring, I thought it was a great thing......" After a moment's hesitation, she added: "Your pendant is still a little interesting, and everything else is a bit of rags." ”

Listening to the girl's disdainful words, the young man who regarded these things as treasures suddenly became angry, he closed the lid heavily, and said in an unkind tone:

"What about the rags, the master likes it!What about you, a fox demon who has been injured by someone, what is the great treasure?"

Looking at the boy's stubborn expression, the girl pretended to mysteriously take out the wooden box she had snatched.

"Hmph! I'll let you see this dirt bun today, what is a baby!"

As she spoke, the girl's fingertips poured wisps of true qi into the wooden box. With a few clicks, the tightly closed wooden box unexpectedly staggered a few pieces of wood. Then, with a click, the tightly closed lid suddenly opened.

With the opening of the lid of the wooden box, an extremely sweet fragrance instantly diffused, making Bai Xiaoyi, who was stunned on the side, drool out a large string of saliva. The fox demon girl slowly lifted the lid, only to see that the palm-sized wooden box contained a peach-sized fruit. The fruit was pink and clear and had a strange shape, vaguely like a little doll curled up together. The young man, who was stunned for a while, asked mechanically:

"This ...... What is this...... It smells so good......"

The little fox demon on the side also swallowed lightly, and said in an excited tone:

"Tell you, this is the legendary ginseng fruit! It has the miraculous effect of reviving the dead!" leaning over and smelling the intoxicating aroma, the girl continued, "The world only knows that this fruit can prolong life and bring the dead back to life. But they didn't know that this ginseng fruit was a god-given panacea for the spirits. As long as I digest the essence in this fruit, I can have an extra three or five hundred years of cultivation out of thin air! When I grow nine tails, see who dares to bully this fairy!"

Looking blankly at the girl who was a little domineering, Bai Xiaoyi shook his head helplessly, he secretly wondered in his heart.

"If you are allowed to cultivate for a few hundred more years, then the world will not be in chaos......

The grumbling young man suddenly thought of something, and asked tentatively:

"I said, Sister Fairy, how did you open that box, can you teach me?"

Squinting at the flattering young man, the fox demon girl suddenly realized:

"Oh yes, you have a wooden box, too. The playful girl suddenly put away the wooden box in her hand and said with a wicked smile: "You also want to open that wooden box?"

Bai Xiaoyi nodded like a peck of rice.

"Hehe, then you beg me. ”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoyi hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed to the ground and said:

"Ask the fairy to teach me!"

Pouting in disgust, the girl pretended to say:

"It's okay to teach you, but if you want to open this wooden box, you need to instill true qi into it, do you have it?"

The rogue boy shook his head blankly.

"That's it, you don't have true qi, what's the use of teaching you the method? Otherwise, tomorrow, you go to the city to buy some delicious and fun for this fairy. This fairy is happy, so how about opening it for you?"

The corner of the young man's mouth twitched when he felt that he had been tricked, and muttered with a bitter face:

"I said, auntie, do you think I am the illegitimate son of a wealthy family? I am just a street artist and storyteller, how can I have so much silver?"

Looking at the aggrieved young man, the girl who came out for the first time looked at the sky and thought about it, then took out a pearl the size of a fingernail and said:

"I don't have the gold and silver you mentioned, only this. Uncle Wu told me that this bead can be exchanged for food, have you seen enough?"

The corners of Bai Xiaoyi's mouth twitched and took the small pearl, it was hard to say anything else, but he recognized the pearl. Although the color of this little thing is relatively average, it is worth one hundred and eighty taels of silver. Seeing that the monster stared at the girl for a long time, the young man nodded and said:

"Sister Fairy is really generous, catch up with Ming'er, I will buy the best things in Quanying Tianfu to honor you. ”

Nodding with satisfaction, the fox demon girl stretched her waist widely.

"Well, then I'll leave it to you. This fairy is sleepy, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

Immediately, she jumped back to her room.

Seeing the girl close the door of the palace, Bai Xiaoyi looked helplessly at the bright moon in the sky, and he wailed in his heart over and over again:

"God, Buddha, thank you for the kind Bodhisattva, let this little fairy daughter stay with me all the time......"
