"Then it's better to be surnamed Wen, how about it?" Unexpectedly, this time, Qingyu quickly proposed a plan, as if he was about to make a decision.
"Why?" Kyuubi narrowed one eye.
"Because, my surname is Wen." Qingyu laughed, "Wen Qingyu is my full name, how about it, sounds nice?"
-I did not think. Kyuubi turned his head uninterested.
"It's not my father's surname, it's actually my mother's surname." Qingyu said to herself, "My mother passed away when I was very young. Although I don't remember her at all, my father But I used my mother's surname to commemorate her. So, I will give you this meaningful surname out of mercy, Wen Jiubai, isn't this name very nice, right?"
"No." Nine Tails said dryly.
"Ah, what?" Qingyu obviously didn't expect Jiuwei to say that, and immediately puffed up her mouth in dissatisfaction, "Why!"
"Surnames are only needed by weak and small human beings who live in groups." Kyuubi said disdainfully, "Surnames are meaningless except to put another layer of shackles on the name."
"That's it... that's right." Qingyu's eyes drooped, revealing a slightly disappointed expression, but she soon became excited again, "Forget it, then don't have a surname, Jiubai is fine, Jiubai!"
"Hmph, whatever you want." Nine Tails said indifferently, and fell asleep on the stomach again.
However, despite Kyuubi's arrogant appearance, when Qingyu woke up the next morning, he saw a different scene.
"Hey, wake up, the sun outside is going to dry your butt."
Qingyu curled up in the haystack, opened her eyes in a daze, "Well... I see, can you let me sleep for a while..."
But it was at this time that she realized that something was wrong.
That voice was not the low-pitched voice that Nine Tails used to call her, but it was closer to human beings, with a wonderful magnetism and cleanliness.
Qingyu suddenly opened his eyes.
Standing outside the cave was not the huge fox she was familiar with, but a young man in red silk clothes, with long hair softly attached to his shoulders, but what didn't match that handsome face was his seemingly He had a stiff expression as if someone owed him money.
"Ah!" Qingyu screamed, covered her chest with hay and backed away again and again, "You, who are you!"
The man frowned, "Apart from you and me, is there anyone else here?"
"Then, could it be..." Qingyu poked her head out a little, and asked tentatively, "Jiubai?"
The man—Kyuubi nodded.
Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became angry: "Why did you suddenly turn into a human? It's so scary!"
"It's not what you said, is it uncomfortable to have to hold your head up when you speak?" Nine Tails said disdainfully, while walking towards Qing Yu's direction.
"Wait, wait! Don't come over!" Qingyu suddenly yelled loudly, startling Kyuubi.
"What's wrong?" Kyuubi frowned displeased.
"That, that, that!" Qingyu hugged her chest tightly, her cheeks were a little red, "I haven't cleaned up yet."
Kyuubi became even more strange, "Huh? What are you going to pack?"
"Just, just clothes, wash your face, etc... I'm so sloppy now!"
Kyuubi frowned, folded his arms, and walked forward indifferently, "What are you talking about. You've been here for so long, when have you ever cared about your image?"
"No!" Qingyu yelled, and began to throw straws at Nine Tails, "This time it's different! Get out, get out!"
Just like that, Kyuubi was kicked out inexplicably, and waited outside the entrance of the cave, but he met a person who was as beautiful as a fairy.
That's what he said, but in fact Qingyu just washed his face with clean water, smoothed his hair with his hands, and then patted the dust off his skirt.
Perhaps, it was because she herself was like a fairy.
But for Kyuubi, he was still extremely puzzled.
"Why do you dress up?"
"You!" Qingyu stretched out her finger and poked Jiuwei's chest, "You really don't understand women's hearts!"
"A woman's heart? It's all a heart. Is there any difference between a man and a woman?"
"Oh, you!"
As the time they spend together increases, the places where Qingyu can move gradually increase. From being locked in a cold cave at the beginning, to being able to go to the stream to fetch water freely, to running freely in the vast forest later.
Nine Tails dotes on her more and more day by day.
This is also a matter of course.
Qingyu is so beautiful and lovable, and, as if she really decided to stay, she is as obedient as a docile cat.
Then, everything changed that day.
That day was not a special day, just an ordinary cloudy day. The hot sun was covered by clouds, but the rain had not yet started to fall. It was a rare refreshing weather.
Kyuubi, who turned into a human form, leaned on the tree trunk, looking at the distant sky. Qingyu lay on his knees, dozed off with her eyes closed.
After a long time, when Kyuubi recalled this scene again, he couldn't help thinking that this might be one of the few happy times in his long life. It's a pity that Kyuubi was like a wooden man at that time, let alone a sense of happiness, he didn't even notice the approaching danger.
"That's it, Jiubai."
Qingyu, who was lying on his lap, suddenly raised her head.
"The sunset is really beautiful."
Kyuubi squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, where the setting sun was, it was all blocked by thick clouds.
"I can't see it here." Qingyu said a little depressed, "Because it's on the mountain, the angle is wrong, and there are always clouds in the sky. If it's in Qingqiu—"
Kyuubi's eyes narrowed for a moment, but Qingyu continued, "If you're in Qingqiu, you can definitely see it. It's a beautiful sunset."
As Qing Yu said, she raised her head, sat up straight, and looked at Nine Tails, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"Although I could only stay in my room when I was in Qingqiu, I really miss seeing the sunset every day. There is a big tree outside the window, and a little nightingale lives in the tree. I’ll start singing when I’m young.” Qingyu laughed, “Sometimes I’ll go to the kitchen to steal a piece of steamed bun, sprinkle a little bit of steamed bun crumbs and feed it to eat…”
Qingyu's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally the voice gradually disappeared. Kyuubi also pulled back his gaze from far away, and stared at Qingyu.
"Jiubai, I'm homesick." Qingyu closed her eyes and murmured.
For some reason, Qingyu's words made Jiuwei feel uncomfortable. He was too young at that time, and he couldn't understand that feeling at all, but the feeling of irritability and anger came to his heart.
If he is in animal form, he may express his dissatisfaction by violently flicking his tail a few times. But now he can only keep a straight face and rudely interrupt Qing Yu's words.
"Didn't I say that? Even if you want to go back, there is no home for you anymore."
Qing Yu suddenly turned her head, and for a moment, there seemed to be hatred in her eyes, and tears filled her eyes.
Seeing Qingyu like this, Kyuubi became even more angry and irritable.
"They are all dead." Jiuwei said coldly, staring at Qingyu closely with sharp eyebrows and eyes, as if deliberately trying to prove his strength, "Now their corpses are probably all rotting at the foot of the city gate."
Qingyu's tears slid down like raindrops, for some reason, Kyuubi felt a perverted sense of conquest in his heart.
"I want to go home." Qing Yu still said stubbornly.
"Your home is gone!"
"But!" Qingyu shouted loudly, "I still, I still want to go back once. Okay, I really want to go back once."
Kyuubi narrowed his eyes, "Why? Why do you want to go back? As I said, the place is already in ruins, and there is no point in going back."
"I know." Qingyu lowered her head, "Of course you won't understand. Even if people are gone, there will always be something left behind. I don't want the place where I used to live to become a wilderness like this. For those who died, there should at least be someone to collect their bodies... "
"I don't understand." Kyuubi said coldly, "Your family treats you like that, why do you still—"
"Please! Please, I really just want to go back and take a look." Qingyu's eyes were extremely sincere, "I swear, as long as I take a look, I will come back with you immediately, and then I will never leave again. "
Kyuubi hesitated.
"Please." Qing Yu stretched out her arms to hug Jiuwei, and buried her face in his chest, "I just want to take a look, and then I will never be separated from you again. Really, I swear."
Kyuubi finally agreed. In any case, Qingyu's promise of "never parting again" is really too attractive to a lonely beast.
Her small beauty like a blue bird, from now on, can belong to him only like a bird in a cage.
want to have her.
Kyuubi had such a strong desire for the first time.
On this day, like all ordinary days, the sky was overcast over the setting sun, and there was a damp heat in the forest.
Qingyu rides on the back of the Nine-Tailed Fox, which can leap over most of the forest with a single jump.
Then they finally came to Qingqiu Country - the only small plain within hundreds of miles.
This was originally a country where human beings developed and prospered, but now, there is only a vast ruins left.
Both the village and the palace no longer exist, the strange smell permeates the whole country, the trees and crops have been destroyed horribly, not to mention the abandoned buildings, in the dim light, it looks like a ghost town.
This is what Qing Yu saw when she got off Nine Tails' back.
