two ears pricked up

After Bai Xi returned to her room, she didn't know that Huo Zheng sat motionless in the yard for a long time. In the middle of the night, when the dew was getting darker, the moon was hidden in layers of thick clouds, and the whole yard was darkened.

He didn't go out for a few days, and when the time came, he got up from the bed, lightly packed his clothes, listened to all directions, and always paid attention to the movement outside the house.

There was no moon tonight, the surroundings were dark, the direction of Huo Zheng's house was pitch black, Bai Xi quietly opened a crack in the door and squeezed out carefully, grabbing a fire pocket that was secretly left during the day.It was dark outside, and when he tiptoed through the courtyard in the dark, a corner of the moon hidden under the clouds suddenly appeared, and the hazy silver light illuminated the night path for him. Clearly.

Of course he didn't know this.

After leaving the compound, Bai Xi dared to light the fire pocket for lighting. He stood outside the door, looked around, and slipped away quietly at night.

Just when Bai Xi left the gate of Huo's house, Huo Zheng followed closely behind him, the rabbit slipped away quickly, and Bai Xi's figure could not be seen around.

The person completely disappeared from under his nose, Huo Zheng pinched the door rail tightly, sawdust fell down, and his fingers were bleeding from the wooden thorns without knowing it.

He never expected and didn't dare to think about it, his sister-in-law went out to steal people in the middle of the night, with a familiar posture, he knew she had done it many times at a glance.

Sister-in-law's stupidity, is it real or is it just pretending to deceive him?Or is it really that he has blind eyes and misjudged the wrong person?

Huo Zheng didn't care to think about it, and stood outside the door with a numb expression, rationally urging him to follow immediately, as long as he followed, he would be able to see the truth of the matter clearly, but he didn't move, as if he suddenly couldn't use his hands and feet at this moment.

Huo Zheng sighed weakly, went back to the main house and lit the oil lamp.He sat motionless, waiting, waiting for his sister-in-law to come back to give him and his elder brother an explanation.

By the Crescent Creek, Bai Xi sat cross-legged, breathing in the aura lingering nearby into his lungs.

There was no moon and no light at this time, but a faint brilliance emanated from his body, and the silver brilliance gradually became stronger. Fireflies gathered and danced around him, and insects chirped continuously in the fields.

Bai Xi didn't know the changes in his body, nor did he know that beside him, many snakes, insects, rats, ants, wild boars and pheasants gathered around him.The last ray of brilliance disappeared in his body, and Bai Xi just now deeply felt that his body had undergone a pleasant change from the inside to the outside.

His eyes are brighter than before, like a bright moon and silver light in the night, his skin becomes more delicate and smooth, his eyes are bright and his teeth are bright, his long jet-black hair falls from his waist down to his ankles, and even his bones are pulled away like wicker. Got a little taller.

Bai Xi opened his eyes, and stared at a pair of pig eyes that glowed darkly in the night light.

"..." When he rolled his eyes, the pig's eyes followed suit, and the pig's nose twitched, making a humming sound.

"Ah!" His scalp was numb, Bai Xi fell backwards, and the birds and beasts gathered behind him all scattered and fled after being frightened.

Only then did he see clearly the insects and beasts nearby, which were densely packed, and countless pairs of eyes fell on him.

Bai Xi: "You are..."

The insects and beasts twittered at him and formed a group. To Bai Xi's surprise, he could understand what they were saying at the moment.

The wild boar said that it looked white and tender, and the taste should be delicious and sweet. Bai Xi was afraid that it would really pounce on him and eat him, so he hurriedly explained to it, saying that he was not delicious.

The turkey said that he looked like a little boy, and the patriarch of their turkey clan was just like this, saying that he was going to recruit him into the clan to be their turkey husband king. damned.

A wild dog had canine distemper. Doctor Wang Bagui said that if he didn’t treat the wild dog in time, he would die. The doctor Wang Bagui had a long lifespan. Compared with other animals, he lived many years. He had good medical skills. All the animals in the mountains came to him when they were sick. When seeing a doctor, what it says is extremely authoritative, and all animals admire it very much from the bottom of their hearts.

Bai Xi followed Wang Bagui's line of sight to find a skinny wild dog lying on a rock and looking at him faintly. Wang Bagui said that it was pregnant, and if it died, it would mean two lives. ending.Bai Xi is full of kindness, and according to the instructions of the genius doctor Wang Bagui, he sneaked into the house of the old doctor in the village overnight, stole a few medicinal herbs secretly against his conscience, boiled it into a concoction and gave it to the wild dogs before leaving.

After a busy night, it was dawn.

On the way back to Huo's house, he met a villager who was herding cattle early in the morning. Realizing that it was too late, he ran wildly, panting and sneaking into the courtyard of Huo's house with a blushing face. Just as he was about to go back to the house, he caught a glimpse of the main house from the corner of his eye. A glimmer of light leaked out.

The courtyard was quiet, which meant that Huo Zheng was not awake, if he hadn't got up, how could there be any light in the room.The anxiety became more and more intense, Bai Xi was wandering outside the house, he had a premonition that Huo Zheng was waiting for him inside the house.

Pushing the door open and entering nervously, facing right in front of him, I saw Huo Zheng on the chief seat looking at him without blinking, as if expecting him to push the door in. Zheng just maintained the same posture and waited for the whole night.

Huo Zheng's voice was very hoarse, "Sister-in-law, you are finally back." He was still calm at the moment, "Where did you go all night?"

Bai Xi's steps were chaotic, and he bumped into the corner of the table.

Huo Zheng turned a deaf ear and spoke calmly, "Last night at the third watch, who did you meet and what did you do? Why didn't you come back until dawn?"

He stood up and walked in front of Bai Xi, pressing every step of the way, looking down at him.

The "Bai Xi'er" in front of him, his sister-in-law, has snow-like skin and a rosy complexion, two blushes on her face that have not disappeared, and the water between her eyebrows and eyes is full of affection, moist and moist.Upon closer inspection, his sister-in-law's appearance seems to have grown a little, and she is even more attractive than before. Huo Zheng has heard that after a woman is moisturized, her appearance will also change. These changes are given to "her" by other men ?

Bai Xi was terrified, Huo Zheng completely changed his appearance, his eyes were soaked with a layer of chill like a knife, piercing his body chilly.

Huo Zheng took his reaction as an acquiescence, and the anger accumulated in his chest in an instant. Huo Zheng gritted his teeth and endured it until his heart twitched.

"Sister-in-law, since you have married into the Huo family, whether you live or die, you are a member of the Huo family. If you die, you are also a ghost of the Huo family. I think you are young and ignorant this time. I hope you will abide by women's morals. In the future..."

Huo Zheng bit out a few words with difficulty, "Don't do it again in the future, I will never mention this matter."

After saying that, she pushed Bai Xi away and rushed out the door, Bai Xi supported the corner of the table and fell to the ground with the person and the table, her head was knocked, and her eyes were staring.

He could hear Huo Zheng's words clearly individually, but he couldn't understand the meaning behind them, let alone the source of Huo Zheng's anger.

Bai Xi was lying on the ground, this time Huo Zheng couldn't wait to help him up with distress.The tip of his red nose twitched slightly, he gritted his teeth and desperately suppressed the moisture in his eyes, but failed to cry.

Huo Zheng must have misunderstood something about him, and he has to explain it clearly to the other party.

chop chop chop --

The wood shattered to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, Huo Zheng chopped down a whole yard of firewood.

Bai Xi stopped outside the door. He carefully walked around the pile of firewood and approached Huo Zheng. He saw that he was sweating profusely, and he dropped the ax with his hand. The whole firewood was neatly divided into two from high to low. The bluestone floor A few cracks were smashed out, one can imagine how much strength Huo Zheng used.

It's just to vent the anger in my heart by chopping firewood.

Huo Zheng didn't say a word, his resolute jaw was stretched into an indifferent arc, and the white hair beside him was regarded as air by him.

"Zhengzheng..." Bai Xi was frightened by his cold-hearted appearance, "Don't be angry, okay?"

"..."

Bai Xipin pursed her mouth, "Clang..."

"Sister-in-law--" Huo Zheng roared as he struck the ground with an axe, "Why did you do that, why did you do that?!"

He was heartbroken and chopped several pieces of wood away.

"Although the eldest brother is not here, I can still take good care of you for him. Am I not good enough for you?!"

The flying wood smashed hard on the door panel, making Bai thin's hands and feet tremble with fright, and hurriedly replied: "Zhengzheng is very good to me."

Kuang, as soon as he struck the ax to the end, Huo Zheng turned to look at him, but didn't say anything.

Huo Zheng in front of him made Bai Xi's eyes turn red, he had never seen Huo Zheng showing such a look, his eyes were full of disappointment and pain.

Bai Xixin felt the pain in his mouth, and said: "It's my fault, I promise you that I will never go out again."

Huo Zheng asked him, "Sister-in-law, can you tell me frankly, why and who are you going out?"

Bai Xi didn't dare to reveal anything about the monster, he grabbed Huo Zheng's clothes, "Zhengzheng, I can't tell you about this."

Huo Zheng's complexion changed, and he quickly said: "But I really didn't do anything bad, really, I won't lie to you!"

Huo Zheng brushed his hands away and turned around, and said after a while: "That's all."

Bai Xi: "Clank..."

"Sister-in-law, I hope you will remember what you just said, and don't do it again."

Regardless of life or death, they must belong to the Huo family.
