Rent me for three coppers

In the 16th year of Mingqi in the Dali Dynasty, on the tenth day of October, Cangluan Taoist Temple in the north of Wangcheng.

The sacrificial activities in front were not over yet, and the small resting yard at the back was sparsely populated.A ragged little man emerged from the undergrowth.

She was a little dirty, and she had accidentally picked up some dead leaves as she passed under the bushes.

Looking left and right, she walked along the bushes in the direction of Dashi.

On the tenth day of October, Cangluan Taoist Temple will distribute free cold clothes and free meals for three consecutive days.

Although this meal is not exquisite, it is already the most anticipated time of the year for the little guy who is hungry all the year round.

Ever since his master passed away... no, it should be said that he ascended, the little guy has been alone all the time. Because of his young age, not many people are willing to ask him to perform rituals or exorcise evil spirits.

Seeing that other celestial masters can make a lot of money just by doing rituals, the little guy is very envious.

'hiss……'

When passing a low door, the little guy suddenly heard a painful groan from the door.Out of curiosity, the little guy poked his head out quietly and glanced over there.

"Come here, what are you peeking over there?"

I didn't expect to meet the eyes of the person on the other end...

The clothes on the man's body are extremely gorgeous, the tail of the outermost black and white gown is embroidered with a phoenix bird with four tail feathers representing the identity of the princess; 'Yong' copper coin.

Everyone knows that the eldest princess Li Zhen has natural red hair since she was born. For this reason, a celestial master once asserted that Li Zhen is the queen of Fengniao.

Looking at the two strands of red hair on both sides of Li Zhen's cheeks, the little guy wanted to run away even more.

"Come and help me, I can't stand up."

Just now Li Zhen came down from the altar without changing her face, and came to the small courtyard behind as if nothing happened.

Unexpectedly, when he reached the gate of the courtyard, his maids were all called by the third sister.

Now father only dotes on Concubine Xuan, especially the little princess who is already arrogant and domineering after she just turned six years old this year.

Although he never snubbed himself because of what he said about him, but in such a situation, he still couldn't compete with that little princess.

When she was alone in the yard, Li Zhen supported the wall on one side and came to sit down on a big rock next to the wall, carefully took off her boots, as expected her ankles were already swollen and high.

Just now when he was dancing Chaofeng Dance, he saw red clouds approaching from the sky, and he was frightened for a while, and sprained his feet.

But where can you stop on the altar, everyone is watching the words and deeds of the princess of a country, who cares whether you are injured or not, how can you hurt these messy things.

"Don't...don't knead."

The little guy moved to his side, and timidly took out a clean but unattractive wooden box from the small package at his waist.

"Is this medicine?" Li Zhen took the box handed over by the little celestial master, leaned over to sniff it, and said with a smile, "It's easy to ask, did you come with the master?"

The medicine feels cold when you touch it, and it smells light and light, like the smell of grass after the rain.

The sprained area was burning uncomfortably. After applying the medicine, it felt like the skin was about to be frozen, but the pain was reduced a lot.

The development of medicine in the Dali Dynasty was backward, and anyone who had studied pharmacology would be respected by people no matter where they were.

Li Zhen reckoned that the medicine was probably prepared by the little guy's master, but he didn't know if his master was medicine sage Du Tianshi or Daoist Xu.

"No, I... I came here alone." The little guy lowered his head and twisted the corner of his clothes with his hands, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Yes... here, there will be free Meal, I... I'm here to Cengfan. I just got lost... It's too big here."

Li Zhen, who was administering medicine to herself, was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then asked, "You came alone? You don't have a master?"

"Well...Master, at the end of last year he..."

The little guy's voice became lower and lower, and his head lowered. Li Zhen stopped what he was doing, leaned forward and raised the little guy's face with his fingers.

This little guy is actually good-looking, with a small face as big as a palm, and his eyebrows are like those drawn by an artist after measuring them.If it wasn't for the fact that the little guy was too timid and always dodged his eyes, he would have been an all-powerful beauty.

Following Li Zhen's movements, the little guy looked up at her, then quickly lowered his head.

Seeing that gorgeous corner of the clothes appeared in his line of sight, the little guy's eyes suddenly became moist.

Why do I come here... She is a princess... I, I will offend her.

He hated himself for being so unlucky and unable to speak well, but in his heart he hoped that this proud girl of heaven would be able to speak to him one more word.

"What's your name?"

Suddenly a white and delicate hand was placed on the shoulder, and the faint fragrance instantly surrounded her, she looked up at Li Zhen's beautiful face in astonishment.

"What is your name?"

"Zhiying." Zhiying looked at Li Zhen blankly, and said word by word: "When you are a Zhiying, you can recognize people's colors, and know their happiness and anger."[1]

"It's a good name." Li Zhen put her arms on the baby's shoulders with a smile on her face, and shamelessly entrusted most of her body weight to this girl who looked younger than herself: "Help me It's in the house, and if you're alone, I'll take you home, okay?"

……

"There are a lot of delicious food in the palace, and the princess palace is also short of people. If you go there, you can eat good food every day."

"But, but I don't know anything..."

"Coincidentally, I don't know anything." Li Zhen wrinkled her face into a ball pretending to be distressed: "Do you think I'm useless? You see, my foot was injured for so long and no one came, okay Pitiful."

"I do not!"

Zhiying hastily turned her head to explain to Li Zhen, but she didn't expect to meet Li Zhen's painted face.

The pattern on some places on it has been heated, and it looks a little funny at this time.

But because of this, Li Zhen's eyes are more lively.

It's as if it's covered with stars, it's shiny and beautiful.

"Then come back with me?"

"Ah."

By coincidence, Zhiying stretched out his hand to support Li Zhen's arm, and agreed to her request.

"I don't know the origin of love, but it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live. Those who are born but cannot die, and those who die and cannot be resurrected are not the essence of love. The love in dreams, why is it not true? There are so few in the world. The person in the dream?"

Li Zhen didn't look like a princess at all, humming a ditty that was popular these days, half leaning on the baby's body, she jumped back step by step.

----------

"Why is the love in a dream untrue? There are so few people in dreams in the world..."

Zhiying carefully touched the sentence on the paper with his hand, closed his eyes and lay on his back on the chair.

----------

It's not that simple to bring a random person into the palace, let alone a guy who has no family, no achievements, and looks like a little beggar.

In order to successfully bring the baby into the palace, Li Zhen wrote a flawless script for her, and sat aggressively in a wheelchair and let her push herself to the door of the then first heavenly master Ling Yun.

Lingyun's real name is Zhang Lingxu, and it is rumored that he looks like a nine-day goddess descending to earth, and he can disturb people's hearts with just a few gestures.

In this regard, Li Zhen said: Everyone has a good imagination.

"What are you writing in such a mess?" Ling Yun flipped through the book that was comparable to a short story book from beginning to end, and angrily threw the book in front of Li Zhen: "It's really bad if you don't write a small story book." Spoiled."

"Thank you, I really have this intention recently." Li Zhen pushed the baby standing beside her to the front, and raised her chin towards Ling Yun: "Do you want to accept disciples?"

"Who have you ever seen accept such a big apprentice?"

"You."

……

"The little girl has a good background. Let me tell you that you don't regret it. In the future, when you get old, they will help you die."

"I!"

"Do me a favor!"

Really unable to resist Li Zhen's hard work, Ling Yun still accepted this apprentice, after all, he took a look and found that Zhiying's foundation is indeed good, and he doesn't know who he studied under, and he also understands some unorthodox techniques of exorcising evil spirits.

But he seems to only be able to exorcise evil spirits, not to pray for blessings.

Like a knife without a scabbard, it can cut others at any time.

This made Ling Yun a little curious about his former master, but Zhiying didn't seem to like to mention that person more, so Ling Yun didn't ask about it.

----------

"Master, Qi Qi is here."

In the hazy memory, Zhiying fell asleep unknowingly, and when she heard Chen Yong's call, she immediately stood up from the chair.

However, his head was a little dizzy due to standing up suddenly, and he barely stood firm by supporting the wall.

"It's okay!"

At the moment when she was dazed, Qi Qi jumped in front of her like a rabbit.

As if deliberately taking care of the baby, Qi Qi wore a pair of flat straw sandals today, and the two of them were almost the same height standing together.

Qi Qi's eyes were bright, which made the baby a little confused to distinguish between dream and reality for a moment.

It's like being caught in some kind of strange circle, wanting to get out of it, but also wanting to happily accept it.

"what happened?"

Seeing that the baby looked a little strange, Qi Qi stretched out his hand towards her forehead.

"God, why is it so hot, hey, are you okay?"

The little fox not far away raised his head and looked at the child who seemed to be in a state of madness. He calmly stood up and stomped his hooves.

approach!

I kick!

The baby who was accurately kicked on the back by the little fox fell forward naturally, and the defenseless Qi Qi could only catch the baby's body.

It looked as if he took the initiative to put his arms around the baby's shoulders.

Just like that, the two of them kissed together by accident.

The third brother who just entered the courtyard with a bunch of things:? ? ?

Qi Qi, what the hell are you doing! ! !

The author has something to say: Little Fox: Look at my invincible back kick!

Juvenile (steady as an old dog): eat dried foxes at night
