Dong Xiaoping wanted to hunt the tiger, so he followed it into the woods.

The tiger fell down as he walked, and Dong Xiaoping kicked it twice with his foot, but there was no response, maybe he was dying immediately.

At this time, two small tiger heads appeared not far away and looked this way.

It turned out to be a tigress that gave birth to a tiger cub, and this neighborhood is its nest, no wonder she is so bold. Therefore, Ma Laohan's ghost bell does not work, you must know that many animals are very protective of calves, and the more you scare it, the more it will irritate it.

I don't know if there are male tigers nearby, doesn't it mean that there are no two tigers in one mountain, unless there is a male and a female? Originally, I wanted to cut the tiger skin as a souvenir, but forget it, a tiger skin is not worth the risk.

So he withdrew from the woods.

Outside the woods, Qin Chuyu was handing Ma Laohan a few wooden branches, Ma Laohan took them, and then began to bandage them on his calves.

When Qin Chuyu saw him coming back, he said, "How is it? Did the tiger run away? Uncle Ma fell just now, as if he had broken his bones. ”

Oh, the wicked have evil retribution.

"Dead, but I'm worried about tigers, so I'm back?"

"And tigers?"

"Maybe, so we'll have to get down the hill quickly. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ma Laohan again, and Ma Laohan was a little embarrassed by him.

Dong Xiaoping said: "Old man, I gave you these branches just now, and I also want to collect money, so you can give two coins of silver." ”

"This ...... And this branch will cost two pennies?"

"To give it or not, not to give it to me. Dong Xiaoping made a gesture to pull the branch he was about to tie.

"Don't...... I'll give it to you. Ma Laohan seemed to be getting smaller, and he was very reluctant to find out the two coins that he had just received in the morning.

Qin Chuyu didn't stop or persuade, he just looked at everything with a smile.

Dong Xiaoping accepted his money, ignored Ma Laohan anymore, and beckoned Qin Chuyu to set off.

Ma Laohan saw that the two were about to leave, and he wanted to get up in a hurry, but he forgot that his calf bone was broken, and he grinned in pain, and when he looked up again, the two had already walked away, but he didn't dare to shout again.

On the mountain, the two walked side by side.

"Ah Fu, you were so powerful just now, why have you never heard of it at home?" Qin Chuyu looked at Dong Xiaoping and asked.

"Oh, do you think I'm amazing?" Dong Xiaoping was a little proud.

"It's not just me, do you know? When you went in to chase the tiger, Uncle Ma asked me if you were a master of the inner world, secretly protecting me, the princess of Weifu's private visit. Haha, I'm laughing to death!"

Dong Xiaoping was speechless, this old man's brain hole is really okay, "This old man doesn't know where to listen to the commentary, I said that he is a money-greedy ghost who can't be so obedient, and he actually spit out money when he was scared." ”

"I think you're better than Ouchi's master. When the tiger rushed over, I was frightened all of a sudden, and I quickly pulled out my legs and ran, only to find that you didn't keep up, and when I looked back, you were still in the same place, I thought you were scared stupid, and I didn't have time to think about it and quickly came back to pull you, and I saw you...... Uh, with a hand raised, the tiger was pierced in one fell swoop. ”

"How about that compared to Niu Ye?" Niu Ye is a martial artist hired by the Qin family.

"Although I don't know martial arts, I feel that you are much more chic than Uncle Niu's. ”

Dong Xiaoping smiled, and originally wanted to take the opportunity to continue to brag and pretend to be forced, but everyone took the initiative to boast like this, and it was not good to say anything, so he said modestly: "What is there, let me tell you the truth, this time I went far away, I was really worried that I couldn't protect you, and I couldn't send you to Xianmen safely." ”

Qin Chuyu said with a smile, "Are you just going to protect me to the Immortal Gate?"

"What's the matter?" Dong Xiaoping said strangely.

"Of course......" Qin Chuyu paused, tilted his head and smiled, "Always protect me." ”

Looking at Qin Chuyu's delicate face, big eyes, long eyelashes, willow eyebrows, pretty nose, and small dimples. Dong Xiaoping somehow thought of the words "smiling like a flower", which is to describe women, but when used to describe Qin Chuyu, there is really no sense of disobedience in conscience, coupled with the pleasant and gentle female voice, if he didn't know that Qin Chuyu was a man, it would definitely make Dong Xiaoping's heart flutter.

It's terrible, if I get along with Qin Chuyu for a long time, I'm afraid my iron straight man's sexual orientation will be a little unkept!

Qin Chuyu saw that Dong Xiaoping didn't react, and suddenly seemed to realize something, his smile disappeared immediately, and his demeanor became a little embarrassed.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm kidding. ”

Dong Xiaoping knew that Qin Chuyu was suddenly aware of his daughter's state, so he consciously took restraint. Because Qin Chuyu's attitude from childhood to everyone is that she was born a man, it is very undesirable to be a daughter. Not only do family members have such thoughts, but in various books and classics, they also pay attention to the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and men and women are often the norm. Qin Chuyu naturally had to accept such a painful fact that he was not normal and needed to be corrected.

Qin Chuyu had to examine herself from time to time and correct herself, but it seemed to be nature, no matter how she corrected it, she would always inadvertently reveal her daughterly state.

However, Dong Xiaoping's view on this matter is different from that of people in this world.

In his previous life, he saw a lot of intersex, transgender, and homosexual people from various media, so Dong Xiaoping knew that some people were born like this, and since it is not a danger to health, it is not a disease, it is just a preference, and there is no need for correction or treatment at all.

Of course, if the person chooses to have surgery to remove or acquire another gender identity, that is her/his freedom. Even if you don't want to have surgery, it is accepted for women to wear men's clothes or men to wear women's clothes and live in society with their preferred gender, at least in developed areas.

But in this world, Qin Chuyu has to endure all kinds of pressure, no one can understand, let alone accept.

In Ah Fu's memory and in the past two months or so, he knew that in fact, psychologically, Qin Chuyu was completely a woman. But she/his family always thinks that she/he should be a man, but in fact, there is a lot of pressure on her/him, if it weren't for her/his cheerful nature, the devil knows what she/he would be tortured into.

Thinking of this, Dong Xiaoping suddenly sympathized with her/him, and at the same time felt a little guilty, because he found that even he, a traveler from the open civilized world, always regarded Qin Chuyu as a man in his heart, or forced himself to see Qin Chuyu as a man, probably for his dignity as a straight man, so he also became one of the people who oppressed Qin Chuyu.

For example, he often jokes unscrupulously, and even said some meat jokes, which is disrespecting Qin Chuyu's female psychological identity.

Qin Chuyu treats him very well, he never uses the attitude of his master to criticize him, and he also takes care of him in terms of food and accommodation, and his level is basically on par with his master, how can a servant from another family have such a blessing as him.

Thinking about this, he felt that he should no longer put psychological pressure on his gender identity.

So he decided that from now on, he would respect Qin Chuyu's female identity and turn "him" into "her" from his heart.

(In view of Qin Chuyu's female psychological identity, "she" is used to refer to Qin Chuyu below.) ）

In order to ease the atmosphere, Dong Xiaoping said again: "Young Master, if you really become an immortal, can you fulfill my three wishes?"

"Three is too many, just one. Qin Chuyu said with a straight face.

"One is fine, then turn me into an immortal, and then I will fulfill those three wishes myself. ”

"Let's talk about your three wishes. ”

"The first is to give me money that I can't spend for the rest of my life. ”

"Yes, but not for long. ”

"Uh...... The second is to find me a beautiful girl. ”

Qin Chuyu was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "This is also simple, find seven for you." Tell me about your last wish. ”

"The third wish is that I hope you will not be my young master, but my young lady. You are so handsome, my seven beautiful girls are ready to go out of the wall when they see you, and I feel more at ease that you are still a young lady. ”

Qin Chuyu suddenly stopped, stared at him and said angrily: "Ah Fu! I didn't expect you to insult me like this!"

Dong Xiaoping didn't expect her to be furious, a little flustered, and hurriedly explained, "How do you treat me, how I don't know, how can I insult you." I would say that men are not necessarily superior, and women are not necessarily inferior. In fact, I won't tell you, sometimes I also want to be a woman to experience the experience, but unfortunately I was born three or five years thick, and I can't make people ugly to death if I really become a woman. ”

Qin Chuyu was stunned when he heard this.

Since she was a child, she has been exposed to the idea of male superiority and inferiority, no one has ever said that men and women are equal, and she has never heard a man say that he wants to be a woman, which is very embarrassing, but if any man says this, anyone, including women, will look down on him.

But the person in front of her said such things that violated the rules of the world, although intellectually, she felt that she should refute it immediately, but for some reason, there was a sudden throbbing in her heart, a feeling that she couldn't speak.

Dong Xiaoping saw that she didn't continue to scold him, so he cautiously said tentatively: "Actually, I think in my heart that you are a woman, you don't have to be a man, there is no such rule in the world, and life is lived by yourself." ”

Dong Xiaoping looked at her honestly, making Qin Chuyu's gaze a little evasive.

"Okay, don't talk about it later. Unable to stand the mental pressure, she turned and walked on, ending the discussion.

But Dong Xiaoping could see from her back that her steps were a little messy.

In the evening, Qingniu Town, Guang County, Wanguo.

On the street where people shuttled, Qin Chuyu and Dong Xiaoping were walking together.

More than three months have passed since Hushan was in distress, and they left Dachang and came to Wan, and now they have walked to the easternmost part of Wanguo, Guangjun.

Now we are not far from our destination, Lake Qingba. This Qingniu Town is the closest mortal town to it, and after leaving Qingniu Town, it takes seven more days to climb Qingbo Mountain to reach Qingbo Lake.

Considering the hardships of the journey for half a year, and the fact that they would have to climb mountains and mountains in the next seven days, the master and servant decided to rest for a day in Qingniu Town.

So the two of them went shopping for a day and changed their whole body and outfits. Qin Chuyu was dressed in brocade, and Dong Xiaoping also got a set of Tsing Yi short shirts, planning to give a good impression to the immortal masters when he worshiped the immortal gate like this.
