SFS Chapter 241 The Old Man
Chapter 241 The Old Man
I struggled but failed to break free, so I just let him strangle me. I stretched my neck and looked down at his documents, and words like "Tushan", "Chishui" and "Lirong" came into my sight.
Before I could take a closer look, he put me down and said with a smile, "I asked you to look and you really did! Is this something you can really see? Go out and play by yourself, don't get lost!"
Seeing that I couldn't get any more information from him, I walked out of the study in a huff and went to vent my anger on Jun Yi.
The spring in Wushen Mountain comes about ten days later than that in Qingqiu.
It was a beautiful spring day. Above the blue sky of Wushen Mountain, the sea of clouds rolled, and the rays of light shone through the clouds and fell on the gently swaying peach branches, which was like a dream and dazzling.
I had no interest in watching. The locals had just presented fresh peach blossom cakes. Xuan had no time to eat them, so I ate them all. It was because I remembered that I shouldn't be here to see peach blossoms at this time of year. Someone had promised to take me to Ruochu Mountain to see peach blossoms, brew peach blossom wine, and make peach blossom cakes for me to eat.
Can Tu Shanjing go down to the fields to see the flowers at this time? When he sees the peach blossoms in full bloom, will he also think of the promise he made to me like I do? Are he and Xiaoyao... gradually falling in love?
Does he sometimes...think of me?
The more I thought about it, the sadder I felt. I wanted to find a jar of peach blossom wine and drink it all up, then become a foolish drunk fox with no intelligence.
However, the ignorant Jun Yi came looking for me at this moment, picked me up, and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, so you are here! Let's go, the master wants to go out for an outing and enjoy the flowers with Anian, and asked me to take you with me!"
I kicked my legs hard in the air, I didn't want to go.
Unfortunately, I was too weak to push him away, so he carried me out of the hall.
He threw me into the carriage and I fell into a pair of soft hands.
I looked up and saw it was Anian, who knew the situation well and stood still.
"Wow! Brother, this fox is quite well behaved! No wonder brother likes you every day!" She lifted me up and rubbed my nose with her nose.
I looked into her eyes and saw myself in them for the first time in a long time.
It has light golden fur, a pointed mouth, long ears and a short chin. It is a very pretty fox.
But his eyes looked a little sad.
She tapped my forehead and said, "Brother is mine, you must remember that! Even if it's a beast, you are not allowed to snatch it from me! Otherwise, I will peel off your skin and pull out your tendons!"
She said this, but her hands couldn't help but stroke my back.
I stretched and yawned, and decided not to bother with the girl.
The spring breeze was intoxicating, and I was forced to watch her sticking to Xuan and talking and laughing. Fortunately, the flowers were nice and the wine was good too.
Yes, I secretly drank the mulberry wine brewed by Xuan.
A bit sour, but better than nothing.
When they found out, I was so drunk that my limbs were sore, and Xuan laughed at me for being a drunkard.
I squinted my eyes, lowered my legs, and lay on his knees, feeling a little nauseous.
He opened his mouth and spit on his knee, and Xuanxuan's smile froze.
"These are the clothes that my master gave me as a reward! You stupid fox! Compensate me for the clothes!" He pulled up my front paw with disgust, handed me to Jun Yi, and went back to change his clothes.
Jun Yi also disliked me a little, but he couldn't refuse. He dragged me to the stream and rinsed me. When I escaped to the other side, he caught me back shouting and screaming.
There was also a barrier on the other side of the stream. I tried but couldn't get across. It would be difficult for me to get out of the Five Gods Mountain by myself.
I was carried back to Xuan's palace all wet. I was a little tired and fell into a deep sleep.
In my dream, peach blossoms, which I had never seen before, bloomed brilliantly all over the sky.
Under the tree stood a handsome man in a green gauze dress, with a few pink peach blossoms falling on his shoulders.
He didn't turn around and I couldn't see his face.
But I knew he was there.
On an early summer night, the sky is full of stars. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, I, a sentimental little fox, think of the person who is like the bright moon.
What is Tu Shanjing doing now? Has he started to learn medicine and help Xiaoliu run Huichuntang? Xiaoliu and his family are not rich. Can he eat the chicken he likes every day? What if he can't eat good food and his body is weak? Will he take some herbs to regulate his body? The day he and I separated, he had become a bag of bones. Before, Jingye and I tried our best to make delicious food with the small kitchen, but the little bit of meat we fed him bit by bit was probably all gone. He was originally a slender person, and I don't know how long it will take for him to grow back to normal.
The summer night breeze blew by, bringing with it a hint of flower fragrance. Since he was no longer around, romance has nothing to do with me anymore.
In my eyes, flowers are just flowers, and snow is just snow. Because I can no longer recall the memories of watching flowers and snow, or any other beautiful things that would make me sad. After all, it is very strange for a fox to cry to the air, and there are many eyes and ears in the palace. If someone secretly saw it and reported it to Xuan, the silly and sweet pet role that I have played for so long would be ruined.
But tonight, the moon is so round and so beautiful, so let me think about it briefly and shallowly.
In this way, the years passed, the stars moved, and in the blink of an eye, I had been in Wushen Mountain for nearly five years.
The time I spent with Xuan was even longer than that with Tu Shanjing.
During this period, I did try to escape in other ways. The first time, I sneaked to the palace gate and was seen by Ah Nian. She grabbed me and dragged me to her palace and fiddled with me for a long time, which made me lose my hair. The second time, I successfully sneaked into the carriage that Xuanxuan was leaving, but he had high spiritual power and sensed my presence. He pulled me out from behind the seat and put a neck chain on me.
Once I was back to the time before liberation, I had to act like a good boy again. I didn't run at the door, nor did I walk around when I went out. I followed Xuan's feet like a dutiful guide dog (I didn't mean to mock his blindness~), as if I had given up. He would scratch my neck in front of others for no reason to express that I was uncomfortable with the neck chain.
After a long period of persistence, I finally regained my freedom this spring and took off my necklace.
I raised my leg and scratched my neck hair, and felt that the neck chain had flattened my hair. The next moment, I suddenly realized that my action was too standard and too foxy. I was originally a human being.
Sighing helplessly, I lay down at the door to bask in the sun.
Suddenly I stood up abruptly and looked out the door.
I thought I was hallucinating because my eyes were blurry.
I saw Mori Ying walking up the stairs with her slender waist and legs raised.
When she saw me, she subconsciously frowned, then smiled and reached out to touch me: "Hey! Where did Your Highness get such a cute little fox?!"
I stepped back, lowered my body and let out a low roar.
She quickly pulled her hand back and her smile froze on her face.
