two ears pricked up

The room was dim, so he moved the candle to the mirror and put it away, and began to focus on his ears with the light.

The ears have grown up compared to before, and the fluff has grown a lot, completely covering the two ears. Under the reflection of the candlelight, it seems to be coated with a faint light. It looks like a big rabbit, not like it was at the time. When the ears were exposed for the first time, all that was exposed was pink and tender flesh.

The tips of Bai Xi's ears trembled, and he shook his ears facing the mirror. The furry ears swayed from side to side, and swayed back and forth on his cheeks. The soft fluff touched the delicate skin, itching. Discovered by Huo Zheng, he quickly covered his mouth to prevent Huo Zheng from listening.

He knows that people are afraid of monsters, but he likes to be a human being, and he prefers to stay with Huo Zheng. In order not to be chased away as a monster, he can't let the other party know that he has rabbit ears. This is the only thing he hides from Huo Zheng. secret.

He paced back and forth in the room, waiting for the moment of silence in the dead of night.

The summer night is cool, and the villagers who have been out in the sun for a day are greedy for the coolness, so they rest later than usual. After dinner, the whole family often sits outside the house to enjoy the wind and eat fruits. Whisper your ears with your own mother-in-law and say something nasty.

Huo Zheng made a few lanterns by himself, and the lanterns were lit and hung in the yard emitting a faint light. The remaining one was more delicate in style. recede.

In the middle of the night, Bai Xi's ears returned to their normal appearance.When it was late, the villagers returned to their homes to rest in twos and threes, the oil lamps were extinguished, the sound of dogs barking gradually subsided, and after the whole village became completely quiet, Bai Xi carefully opened the door and poked his head outside to observe the condition of the house where Huo Zheng slept. The Huo family compound was dark and gloomy Yes, just now I had the courage to stand on tiptoe and walk outside the house.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, the courtyard is quiet, the silver moonlight illuminates the stone slabs, and a full moon is reflected on the water at the mouth of the well. Bai Xi sneaks through the yard until he opens the gate and goes out. Heartbroken, I couldn't believe that I went out at night.

Despite the moonlight, the surrounding area was still pitch black, and the tree shadows swayed with the wind. From a distance, it seemed as if a midnight ghost came out of the ground, which was terrifying.

Bai Xi was timid, and bravely jumped towards the direction of Crescent Moon Creek. A loud bird song in the night made his hair stand on end, and his ears were almost exposed.When he arrived at Crescent Creek, there were tear bubbles hanging in his eyes, and he was so pitiful.

The streamside filled with pure aura, it is this aura of heaven and earth that comforted Bai Xi's frightened heart.

Water has nurtured all things since ancient times, and the gathered aura is extremely pure and rich.There are many rivers in the village, but Crescent River is the only one that is not disturbed by people, and its aura is not damaged at all.Bai Xi became sleepy day by day after he turned into an adult. It was not until today when he passed by the Crescent Moon Creek that he was refreshed that he realized that the aura here was very beneficial to him.

When they cultivated human beings from the animal path, they desperately needed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy was sufficient, and it was even more stable for them to consolidate their human form.The stream was gurgling, and the moonlight glowed beautifully. Along the stream, Bai Xi found a place to sit cross-legged on the ground, holding his breath and concentrating on it. When he breathed, he undulated with the sound of the water, and inhaled the essence of heaven and earth into his lungs.

At five o'clock, Liu Mazi, who was watching melons in the field, fumbled out of the tent to pee. The rats in the field were rampant last night, which disturbed him all night. He untied his belt and prepared to release water. A white light flashed by, and the surrounding area was desolate, except for the melons all over the ground, where is the shadow?Liu Mazi trembled, his eyes widened: "Who's there?!"

No one answered, his eyes were empty, there was no white light, maybe he was hallucinating because he was sleepy and confused.

Liu Mazi pulled up his trousers and brought them back to the tent. In the tall weeds, a white and fluffy rabbit jumped out from under the grass, and followed the way it came, all the way back to Huo's house.

After returning to the house, Bai Xi changed her clothes and cleaned her hair with grass leaves.

At this time, there was movement in the yard, and it was Huo Zheng who got up.After staying awake all night, after inhaling the spiritual energy, Bai Xi was refreshed and tidied up before going out to look for Huo Zheng.Huo Zheng looked normal, Bai Xi was relieved that no one knew about his going out.

For several days, Bai Xi ran out of the house while Huo Zheng was resting. With his first experience, he was no longer afraid of villagers who stayed in the field to watch melons at night. His aura was solid, and now he could change back to The rabbit left quietly.

Bai Xi let go of his courage, but the villagers insisted with other villagers that the village was haunted by ghosts after seeing Bai Ying for several days without seeing him.

They described the ghost with a hideous appearance, saying that it was a faceless ghost who could only see the back clearly, but the face had been gouged out and the flesh and blood were blurred.The true and false rumors became true through one person after another, and soon the haunting news spread throughout Changyue Village. People in the village were panic-stricken. As soon as the sun set, the adults drove the playful children home, lest Captured by ghosts and eaten alive.

Bai Xi moved a small wooden stool and sat at the door of the woman next door to listen to her story. She listened so engrossed that she was absent-minded when she went back to eat.

Bai Xi, who had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, had a much rosier complexion than before, and was also energetic. After lunch, he pestered Huo Zheng to tell him a story. Huo Zheng put down what he was doing, and Bai Xi almost stuck to him. After some distance, Huo Zheng replied: "Sister-in-law, I don't know how to tell stories."

Huo Zheng had actually heard some gossip about strange things, but he had a dull temper, and the words he said must be rigid and boring, and it made no difference whether he said it or not.

"Oh...!" Bai Xi was not annoyed, "Zhengzheng, do you believe that the village is really haunted?"

Huo Zheng naturally didn't believe it, "The things about gods and ghosts are just to fool people."

Bai Xi is simple-minded, but recently he always likes to go to his mother-in-law's place to listen to some magical stories. Huo Zheng never stops him, but he is worried that he will be affected, so he has no choice but to try to persuade him to listen less.

Huo Zheng reflected on himself, maybe it was because he always kept Bai Xi bored at home to cause such a situation, when the work in the yard was cleared, Huo Zheng put the fish basket on his back, "Sister-in-law, go fishing today."

Let my sister-in-law go out to get some air, so she probably won't always think about those nagging things.

Bai Xi put on a veil and went out behind Huo Zheng, passing by Zhang Butcher's family, the butcher's family had just slaughtered a dog, and ghosts were now spreading in the village, and the dog's blood was used to ward off evil spirits, so the butcher took the still warm fresh dog's blood to him. Splashing outside the door, splashing away the discouraged and filthy air, dog blood splattered and fell at Bai Xi's feet.

Today he was wearing plain blue clothes, his soft boots and skirt were stained with dog blood, Huo Zheng couldn't catch him, his face was half sunken.

The strong smell of blood made Bai Slim's legs weak, and he glanced at the blood-stained clothes under him, his fingers trembled, and he grabbed Huo Zheng's arm tightly, "Blood..."

"Don't be afraid." Huo Zheng looked around, he was not far from the river pond, "Wait until we get to the river and we can wash it off."

Bai Xi grabbed people so tightly that Huo Zheng had no choice but to talk to him, "Sister-in-law, can you let go of your hand?" If the villagers saw this scene, they might start chewing their tongues again. Treat it as dung, but he can't let his sister-in-law be misunderstood.

"...don't let go." Bai Xi grabbed him tightly, lowered his head with a tone of crying, "I'm afraid of blood..."

Huo Zheng had no choice but to let him lead him by the sleeve, arrived at the river, and picked a river bank with a height of water grass to rest his feet.

"Sister-in-law, sit down here and wait for me for a moment."

Bai Xi sat down as promised, he watched Huo Zheng go down the river, folded off the round leaves and folded them, and wanted to fetch water for him to wash away the stains under his feet.

Farther away on the surface of the river, there were flowers floating down the river from the upper reaches. The flowers in the water were delicate and beautiful in color. When Huo Zheng returned to the bank, he saw Bai Xi was always looking in his direction. He looked back, and suddenly turned back and entered the water again. , walked far away, gathered all the flowers floating on the river, held the leaves filled with water steadily with one hand, and held the flowers in front of the chest with the other arm, and was the first time to be a flower picker, back to Baixi before.

Bai Xiyan watched Huo Zheng approach without blinking, holding a bouquet of huge purple flowers in his arms.

The two people's eyes met, Huo Zheng handed the flowers to Bai Xi without expression, took two steps back, squatted down halfway maintaining the proper distance, picked up a small corner of Bai Xi's skirt, dipped it in water and washed it carefully.

As for Bai Xi, his mind was completely attracted by the flowers Huo Zheng gave him.

Huo Zheng was really kind to him, he just took one more look, and this man brought them all to his eyes.

There are water droplets on the flowers, lest they get wet on the clothes, Huo Zheng gently shook them off before handing them over to Bai Xi.

The fragrance of the flowers is fragrant and elegant, and when you smell it, your heart suddenly softens. I don't know whether it is because of the beauty of the flowers or because of the person who gave them.

Bai Xi accepted Huo Zheng's flowers with a calm expression, as if she had accepted a person's heart and put it in her heart.
