After the night fell, the rain had not stopped, and the room was a bit colder than usual. Even if the windows were closed, the chill could not be resisted. You Qing asked Bai Li to sleep on the inside of the bed, while he blocked him from the outside.
Bai Li drank a little bit of wine, but he wasn't too drunk. He was just a little dizzy, and his consciousness was still sober. He also knew that he would put his tail away so that You Qing would not see it, but it was easy to lose control after being drunk. Like a stubborn stone occupying the middle position, no matter how unwilling to move the nest.
You Qing saw that there were two blushes on his cheeks, his eyes were blurred, he only knew how to be silly at himself, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he leaned over and pushed him in half.
Bai Li moved his position passively, smacking his lips unwillingly, rolling his eyes a few times, turning his body and arching towards You Qing: "Aqing, I'm cold..."
You Qing hurriedly put his hand into his bed, grabbed his hand and touched it, feeling quite warm, stunned for a moment, looked at him with a smile, covered him with his own quilt, and then Also got in.
Bai Li's pitiful and moist eyes instantly lit up, biting his lips and looking expectantly at him blowing out the candle and laying down beside him.
"Is it still cold?" You Qing turned to look at him in the dark.
Bai Li secretly pinched himself nervously, took a deep breath, squeezed over and hugged him, obviously trying to pretend to be pitiful, but the excitement in his voice could not be concealed: "It's so cold!"
You Qing was caught off guard by him, his body froze, his dark eyes stared at him in the darkness, until he got used to the dim light, did he see his drooping eyelashes clearly.
Seeing that he didn't respond at all, Bai Li felt a little disappointed, gritted his teeth, reached out and touched his hand, grabbed it and put it on his waist, humming: "I'm cold..."
You Qing was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't help laughing in a low voice, he took his hand away from his waist, touched his head, put his arms around his back, and said in a low voice, "This is satisfying. already?"
Bai Li was delighted and nodded again and again: "Yeah! It's not cold anymore!"
You Qing looked at him in the dark and smiled for a while, then involuntarily hugged him tighter.
The little trick succeeded, Bai Li's heart was as sweet as if he had been drinking honey for ten years, and his already dizzy brain became even more dizzy. He rubbed against him with a smile, and soon fell asleep, and slept extremely well all night. Sweet.
However, You Qing, who had been haunted by nightmares and forgot after waking up for the past few days, had a very rare dream, and when she woke up, she told Bai Li with a smile: "Last night's dream was really interesting, I picked up a little fox from somewhere. It looks very similar to the one I saw at the foot of the mountain, but this fox has nine tails, it seems to be a nine-tailed fox that can only be found in legends, I don’t know why I dreamed of it.”
Bai Li was so frightened by his words that he almost knocked over the washbasin, his eyes floated for a while, then he quickly stopped, and asked carefully, "Did you dream about what this fox did?"
You Qing was taken aback: "Speak? How can a fox speak?"
"Ah..." Bai Li blinked and smiled dryly, "It's only in the legend, it should be different from ordinary foxes? I thought it could... talk..."
You Qing smiled and said, "The one I dreamed of didn't know how to speak, but he played very badly and stole all the chickens raised at home."
Bai Li's face stiffened, he swallowed his saliva, and washed his face with a guilty conscience. After washing, he smiled at him: "Dream of a nine-tailed fox is a good sign, and you will be very rich! Ah Qing will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future!"
You Qing couldn't help laughing: "I just want to sell a few more calligraphy and paintings, the money is enough."
"Sure, we'll go out and set up a stall after breakfast!"
"Agreed to take you around."
Bai Li shook his head: "That's not in a hurry."
After breakfast, You Qing went down to the street at Bai Li's urging and set up a stall. He asked the shopkeeper of the inn to borrow an old table and a bench, found a street corner that was neither deserted nor noisy, spread out the paper and sat down.
Bai Li sat next to him, watching him from time to time as he was writing leisurely. The more he looked, the more he liked it. He leaned over and said with a smile, "Aqing, can you draw me a portrait?"
"Okay." You Qing agreed without hesitation, looked sideways at his smiling eyes, and followed with a smile, "I'll draw when I go back to the inn to rest."
"Yeah!" Bai Li got his promise and nodded excitedly.
His eyes turned around, and he was very happy when he suddenly heard a bark, his body stiffened, and his face turned pale.
The dog's bark was loud and loud and full of energy. As soon as he heard it, he could guess that it must be a larger dog, and there were two of them. This was what Bai Li was most afraid of when he was walking in the world. There are also people in the village who have dogs, but they are not big. Although Bai Li looks a little frightened, he has never been so frightened as he is now.
You Qing noticed his abnormality and quickly put down his pen and pinched his hand. Unexpectedly, his fingers were cold, so he couldn't help frowning and rubbing: "What's wrong?"
"Dog! Ah Qing! There's a big dog here!"
You Qing was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to worry or smile: "Are you afraid of dogs?"
Bai Li nodded with a taut face. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of the two big dogs rushing from the alley behind him. He was so frightened that he opened his mouth and shouted: "Ah!" jumped onto the table.
You Qing didn't expect his reaction to be so intense. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the table shaking, and immediately became nervous. He quickly reached out to help him: "Come down! This table is too old to hold up!"
While speaking, the two dogs rushed to the front. Pedestrians and vendors on both sides of the road scattered as if they were fleeing for their lives. You Qing was puzzled and looked in the direction the dog was rushing towards. He saw a tall horse behind him, led by a brightly-dressed servant. On the horse's back sat a young man in brocade and Chinese clothes, with gloomy eyes in his eyes. There was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
The man turned his eyes and saw You Qing, and said lazily, "Why don't you run? So obediently waiting to honor your grandpa Pan?"
You Qing was at a loss when he heard this, but he felt that this person was not a kind person, so he couldn't help frowning, and was about to politely pull Bai Li away, but he didn't want the person to look up when his eyes suddenly shone at Bai Li. , Haha laughed: "Beauty!"
Bai Li was staring at the two big dogs with fangs vigilantly, not paying attention to what he said.
However, You Qing knew that something was wrong, so he turned his head and said, "Ali, let's go back."
Bai Li listened to his words automatically, and said with a white face and trembling: "No, no, no, I don't dare to go down."
The man laughed even more cheerfully: "Grandpa Pan likes to see this kind of weak beauty the most, hahaha, come on, General Black, General White, give it to me!"
Seeing that the two dogs moved their ears, Bai Li was about to rush over in a blink of an eye. He screamed in fright again, and ran up the low wall behind him at a speed that no one could see clearly. He jumped again in the blink of an eye, and crawled to the side with his hands and feet. On a weeping willow tree with dead leaves, he stared nervously at the two dogs and wailed: "Aqing! Help!"
Although You Qing was surprised by his agility, he was more worried about each other's situation at the moment. Seeing the two dogs rushing over, he quickly raised his stool to stop him under the tree.
When the two dogs saw the stool in his hand, they stopped their movements instinctively, and all barked at him.
You Qing looked at the person on the horse coldly: "What are you doing?"
The man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Huh? You're also a beauty! But unfortunately, it doesn't suit my grandpa Pan's appetite..."
Seeing his explicit words, You Qing frowned again, knowing that he had run into a rogue.
The man looked up at Bai Li for a moment, and his smile deepened: "This weeping willow can stand on such a thin branch, it seems that the beauty's waist is also full of hands! Tsk tsk tsk, grandpa likes to watch the beauty scream in pain, Don't be lazy, two generals!" He raised his hand and blew a loud whistle.
When the two dogs heard the order, they snarled twice, kicked their hind legs and rushed towards You Qing.
Bai Li was so frightened that he shouted, "Aqing, come up!" After shouting, a shudder suddenly occurred in his mind, and then he remembered that he was not an ordinary fox. When I saw the dog just now, I was so frightened that I just wanted to run for my life, but I forgot that he was a nine-tailed spirit fox who knew magic. With his cultivation, let alone two dogs, even if there were ten or a hundred, it would be worth it to him. In other words, it's not a problem to deal with.
Before he could scold himself for being stupid, Bai Li quickly concentrated his mind and prepared to cast a spell to cover You Qing, and then slowly deal with the one person and two dogs. Unexpectedly, You Qing hit the black dog on the head with a stool. And quickly dodged the attack of the other white dog.
You Qing stood still, and was stunned. He couldn't figure out why the force in his hand suddenly increased, and the movement of dodging was so fast that he was surprised. After thinking about it, he waved the stool out of his hand.
You Qing was in a hurry and couldn't pay much attention, but Bai Li could see clearly on the tree, and he looked stupid. The stool hit two dogs in the head this time, and it broke. Both dogs were stunned by the beating, and their bodies were shaky.
At this time, no one else could be seen around the street, and everyone knew that the man's notoriety had slipped away early, and the man was stunned when he saw that his two normally fierce dogs had caused a weak scholar to beat him with a stool. And You Qing was also stunned when he looked at the stool that was equivalent to falling apart. For a time, the surroundings were so quiet that the needles could be heard falling.
The man was the first to come back to his senses and was furious: "Even my grandfather Pan dares to bully him. It's just courting death! General Black! General White!"
A whistle sounded, and the two dogs squatted on their bodies, showing their brutal side again, jumped up in the air, and rushed straight towards You Qing.
Bai Li quickly returned to his senses, and was about to help secretly when he suddenly saw You Qing kicking the table next to him, blocking the two dogs' momentum, and smashing two consecutive punches on the ears of the two dogs.
Hearing only two mournful howls, the two dogs fell to the ground in pain, blood flowing from their noses and mouths, and their bodies trembled.
The air was silent for a moment, and You Qing was once again shocked by his abnormality. He only knew that he had thrown his fist, but he didn't feel like it hit, and his fists didn't feel any pain. How did these two dogs get injured
Bai Li was also staring at You Qing blankly from the tree. What surprised him the most was not that You Qing had injured the two dogs, but that the shot was so fast that he didn't even see it clearly.
The man on the horse rolled and climbed off the horse and rushed over, threw himself on the two dogs, and howled, "You killed my general! You actually killed my general! I want your life!"
You Qing ignored him. After recovering, he looked up at Bai Li: "It's alright, come down."
Bai Li was stunned for a moment and quickly climbed down from the tree.
The man on the ground raised his head, looked at them fiercely, turned his head and ordered the entourage behind him: "Get them to me!"
As soon as the voice fell, a mellow male voice suddenly came from not far away: "Wait!"
