Chapter 34: Incident

Views:

Xia Duanfang was so resentful that he quickly stopped Shi Wuduan: "Mr. Shi, go slowly, I have a few words to tell you."

Shi Wuduan was a little surprised and turned around, apparently he didn't expect the master Xia to be so powerful, he resisted his skin cramps, and wanted to say a few words, he nodded while holding the astrolabe, ready to say nothing nice, He bowed and said, "Master Xia, please advise."

Xia Duanfang thought while cramping in his stomach, this little bastard is obviously a hooligan, but he still insists on acting like a modest gentleman. Seeing it really makes people hate it, so he barely held back, and said just now: "It's nothing. , the brother I saw in the yard during the daytime, I saw that he looks very handsome and handsome, I don't know if he is... "

Before he could finish his sentence, Shi Wudu raised his head with lowered brows. There was no longer a trace of unscrupulous smile or perfunctory fake politeness on his face. , The dimples that make people feel kind, actually look a little cold.

That expression made Xia Duanfang's heart skip a beat, and for some reason, he felt that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked.

After a long while, I heard Shi said without reason and said lightly: "He is a friend I made when I was young. He was separated for a few years, and I just met now. Come and stay for a few days to catch up. Thank you, Head Xia, for your interest. , Shi might as well recommend it."

Xia Duanfang gave a dry laugh, waved his hands and said, "I dare not work."

Immediately, he tentatively observed Shi Wudu's expression—the other person's expression was expressionless, and then asked: "I don't know... what is the origin of this friend? I don't look like that brother. Ordinary people."

"Oh, he is from the fox clan." Shi Wuduan said.

"Fox family?" Xia Duanfang repeated it in a low voice, I don't know if he was talking to himself, or he said on purpose, "Foxes are strange beasts, born to be confused, mature in a hundred years, enlightened in a thousand years, in ancient times there was a 'no fox' It is said that although the foxes are beautiful, they transform into adults vividly, but there are always some differences. Regardless of men and women, the foxes generally have oval faces, with spring eyes and brows, especially fox men, who are born male and female Physique, male and female are indistinguishable. At the beginning of the transformation, the tail is difficult to get rid of, and there is a foul smell on the body. After years, it turns into a thick and sweet fragrance... All the above characteristics, I see that brother... "

Shi Wudu listened, interrupted his words, and said in a flat tone: "Master Xia, don't worry, he has a sense of proportion, he won't come to seduce you when he has nothing to do."

Xia Duanfang was stuck in his throat, and seeing Shi Wudu turn around and leave again, he added without giving up: "The fox clan has obvious characteristics, I didn't expect there to be such a different kind, but... I heard that the fox clan Afraid of dogs, even if it is a sky fox who has practiced for thousands of years, even though it has supernatural powers, it can't help but retreat when it hears a dog barking..."

Shi Wuduan turned around, looked at him with a strange face, and asked with a long voice in doubt: "Could it be... Master Xia is going to try it himself... Dog barking?"

Xia Duanfang: "..."

After a while, the breath stuck in his chest finally eased up. Xia Duanfang took a deep breath, intending to yell at him angrily, but the word "you" just landed, and Shi Wuyuan shook his sleeve leisurely , yawned, and said: "It's getting late, Master Xia should go to bed early, and tomorrow I have to trouble Mr. Jicha to help the director."

After speaking, he turned around and left, Xia Duanfang was so angry that his eyes were dizzy.

What is Baili? Shi Wuduan went back with the astrolabe in his arms, thinking about what Xia Duanfang had just told him, that the fox clan is a powerful clan among monsters, and its characteristics are obvious, and most people know it, and he can also see that this sudden appearance in front of him, the long Bai Li, who has grown up a lot, seems to be... a bit far from the Fox Clan.

But I have seen his fox ears with my own eyes, Shi Wuyuan thought.

He vaguely remembered the first time he saw Bai Li. When he was a child, Bai Li did have a small pointed chin and a pair of lively peach blossom eyes. Although he was ignorant of it, there was a charming look between his brows and eyes.

However, the current Bai Li, although his outline has not changed, his facial features are vague, but his temperament is very different. That kind of... cold and even a little gloomy, is he really a fox

Could it be that the blood of the fox family is not strong enough, and was suppressed by the other half in his body

But that has nothing to do with me.

Shi Wuyuan comforted himself, but it didn't prevent him from having a faint feeling of uneasiness, as if some truth was about to come out, and he didn't want to think deeply, as if he was instinctively seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Deeper and heavier, he suddenly felt a little tired.

A person, no matter how good at calculating and how deep the city is, there will be a moment when he looks forward to some simple and happy things. Thinking of a pure friend who drank a few jars of good wine without any suspicion, got himself drunk, and fell asleep on all fours with no defense.

He burned Bai Li's hair, and missed an opportunity to get to the bottom of it.

But not everyone should be questioned like this. In a person's life, there will always be one or two people who can laugh when they meet without thinking about it.

Xuanzong can't go back, Cangyun Valley has long since ceased to be prosperous in the past, and now there is only one Baili left.

Shi Wuyuan shook his head, went back to his yard, and found that the light in Bai Li's room was still on - every day he didn't come back to sleep, Bai Li would not go to bed first, as if he was waiting for a signal from himself , The person on this side lay down, and the lamp was blown on the other side.

Shi Wuduan sighed, it doesn't matter what the little ion is, anyway, he himself can't see what's wrong with the other party, it's just that this kind of numbness is really... unbearable.

Xia Duanfang's apprentice was in the hands of others, no matter how powerful he himself was, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he competed with the female corpse all day long, even eating and drinking water, as if he wanted to spot a flower on the female corpse.

Gu Huaiyang, Brother Gu, who owed him countless "vegetable pancakes" in some mysterious way when he was a child, turned his back on him after the messenger left, and never asked his old "benefactor" to contact him again. up. He has been busy all day preparing for how to meet Lord Overseer.

The military governor is the official sent by the imperial court to watch them not to cause trouble, and to go into battle obediently during the war. In addition to his own guards, he also comes with military pay, food and grass rewards and so on.

It's cheaper to reward these bumpkins who don't have enough to eat and rebel, and tell them to calm down and do what they should do, anyway, it's cheaper than asking people to beat them everywhere.

This Lord Overseer has become a hot potato. From the perspective of Gu Huaiyang himself and his brothers who like to rob the rich and give to the poor, they really want to keep the things that the Lord Overseer brought, and then kill him—the ransom is taken, and the rest Of course it was torn up. However, in order to show to the imperial court that he would no longer rebel and change his ways, General Gu held the seal of the general who had not yet been warmed up, and rationally told all the knives-sharpening brothers that Lord Overseer is not chicken, duck and fish. Something went wrong.

So Shi Wuduan came up with an idea: "Iron rules and human favors, huge lawsuits and huge money, if the Lord Overseer does not neglect his duties, it only means that he has not been fed."

Shi Wudu seemed to be familiar with this kind of thing, so Gu Huaiyang swiped his pen again and handed over the financial power to him.

In those few years on Jiulu Mountain, Shi Wuduan learned to be cautious and obedient, and after several attempts, he learned how to drink wine and make friends with others.

As if he had a talent for all of this.

Every day when he returned to his residence, Shi Wuduan felt very uncomfortable, even though someone made him sober soup so that he would not be in a daze like a drunk, but he still felt very uncomfortable.

Maybe the wine was too cold, maybe the people at the dinner table spoiled his appetite.

So today, when he passed by Baili's house and saw the light that was still on, he couldn't help knocking on the door.

As soon as Bai Li opened the door, he saw Shi Wuduan leaning on his door frame smelling of alcohol, his eyes were a little red, but his face was very pale, as if the door frame he was leaning on could roll on its own, Bai Li felt that he was shaking Youyou felt as if he was about to roll down at any moment, so he stretched out his arms to embrace him, and asked somewhat helplessly, "Why are you drinking like this again?"

Shi Wuduan supported him, sat down on the chair by himself, lay down on the table as if he had no bones, poured himself a cup of tea, and his mind, which had just returned to the east, west, north, and south, became a ball after realizing it Confused, when Bai Li talked to him, the voice from his ears to his brain seemed to travel a distance of 108,000 miles, and it took a long time to answer.

"The warlord has a banquet." Shi Wuduan said in a low voice, then frowned, "The water is really cold."

Bai Li joined his hands and held the teacup in his hand. After a while, Shi Wuduan felt his fingertips warm up, and steam came out of the teacup. Bai Li softened his voice, and said as if coaxing a child, "Hot!" Already, drink it."

It's so hot, it's amazing. Shi Wuduan knew that he was drunk, so he tried to control his mind, told himself not to talk nonsense, not to drink like crazy, but he couldn't control his expression well, and Bai Li saw him giggling for a long time at the steaming teacup, and then he didn't know What's the matter, he frowned again.

Bai Li could only ask, "What's the matter?"

"Hmm." Shi Wuduan said after a while, "Uncomfortable."

Bai Li was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled his wrist: "What?"

Shi Wudu didn't say a word, just bent down slightly, covered his stomach, felt that the inside was churning, wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit anything.

Bai Li asked, "Did you drink the hangover soup?"

Seeing him nodding, Bai Li frowned, stretched out his hand to brush his hair, tried it on his forehead, then stood up and said, "Hold on a little while, I'll see if there is any porridge in the kitchen, heat it up for you bowl."

Shi Wuduan nodded honestly, and watched Baili open the door and walked out in a daze, sitting there by himself, thinking dully, really virtuous... It's a pity that it's not my wife, alas!

The more he sat there, the more uncomfortable he became, and the feeling of nausea made him feel sick again and again. Finally, Shi Wudu couldn't help it, stood up a little staggeringly, threw himself into the yard, supported the big tree and started vomiting, only the stomach It was all emptied, and only then did I feel as if my body and mind were relaxed, and I felt much more refreshed.

His eyes became clearer, he stood up straight with the help of the tree, and was about to find water to rinse his mouth, when he inadvertently raised his head to look at his residence, and found a ray of blue light from the empty room.

Is it an astrolabe

Shi Wudu hesitated for a moment, went back to his room, took off the astrolabe hanging next to Jinse, and saw a thin thread protruding from it, as if avoiding something in fear, heading in a certain direction With a light touch, he retracted again. Shi Wudu concentrated his eyes and looked out along the open door. He didn't notice any difference at first, but after a long while, he could barely distinguish a small cloud of black air rising from that place.

what is it

He thought in his heart, maybe he drank too much and acted without much thought, so he walked over involuntarily.

Then around the courtyard wall, he heard a person talking, it was Bai Li.
