snatch the fox

★I am willing to open my heart, not because of your identity, your strength, let alone this child.It was always you who conquered me——Xie Linyuan. ★

……

Spring goes and autumn comes, and the sun and the moon change several times.

When Xie Wanping brought Xie San and Xie Xiaoliu here, Shen Linyanzheng was collecting fallen flowers in the courtyard, preparing to make wine for Xie Er.

Xie Er went up the mountain to collect herbs, and came back one step behind the mighty group of people, almost being blocked on the mountainside, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of the people who were waiting outside the courtyard.

Shen Linyan gave Xie Er a wink indiscriminately, and told him to guard the back room. Xie Er nodded in response very quickly, and sneaked into the back room from the side, without anyone noticing.

"Fox spirit!"

Xie Xiaoliu made an unfriendly grimace at him, his eyes looked disgusted, as if he was looking at the most filthy thing in the world, but was quickly stopped by Xie San.

Xie Wanping, who was in the lead, smiled happily: "People in the Xie family don't seem to like you very much~Of course, except for the eldest brother and the second brother~"

"What are you here for?"

Shen Linyan was still busy with what she was doing, without raising her eyelids.

The well-preserved flower branch in front of Leng Buding was ruthlessly broken by a bare hand, and even shook it provocatively in front of his eyes:

"Advise you not to cherish the golden thread clothes, and advise you to cherish the youth. The flowers can be broken and the branches will be broken. Don't wait for the flowers to be empty... This song "Golden Clothes" by Du Qiuniang is perfect for you. Why bother to insist on it?" Picking up the remnant red and willows in that place? Look at the flowers, how colorful they are blooming~"

"Why, do you think that Xie Linyuan, who has been far away from your Xie family's power and political center for many years, is doomed to lose when he comes back now? Like this remnant red and defeated willow, there is no future, no future?"

"Shouldn't it be?"

"I think you forgot, you were suppressed by someone and couldn't stand up?"

"If you're dying, you still have to fight with sharp teeth...you'll be smart~"

Shen Linyan took a small hoe, took away the flower branch that Xie Wanping had broken off, and dug a hole to bury it in the soil: "Flowers bloom and become rich and end up in the end. Losing to the remaining flowers is even more protective. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to take a step back... It doesn't matter if you're alive or dead. After all, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, so I don’t need to be sharp.”

"Hey, you actually appreciate those crooked poems by young master Xiaoyan~ It just ruined my interest in poetry!"

After finishing speaking, Xie Wanping pushed his shoulder away and entered without invitation.

"Hold on."

Xie Wanping didn't speak, but gave him a look with a very contemptuous sideways head.

"The original owner said that all weapons must be removed when entering the hospital."

After finishing speaking, a strange evil wind suddenly blew up on the flat ground, and every time it swept past a person brought by Xie Wanping, they could hear the sound of "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping-pong." All kinds of weapons in one place.

Naturally, it also included Xie Wanping's familiar whip wrapped around his waist.

"Make a big deal out of a molehill!"

Xie Wanping snorted at him, never paying attention to the poor whip lying on the ground again, and stepped into the door with her hands behind her back.

When Xie San led Xie Xiaoliu to pass him by, his gaze stayed on him briefly, but when he looked back, Xie Sanqiang pulled Xie Xiaoliu who was still expressing his dissatisfaction, and hurriedly followed.

Make tea, serve tea, add tea.

The three members of the Xie family, as well as the so-called "elders" of the Xie family brought by Xie Wanping, filled the room, and he looked at it with a bit of emotion. Could it be that this is a joint trial of three courts, what is the trial, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family?

He didn't know when Xie Linyuan would wake up after taking a nap in the back room, and he didn't know if Xie Er could stop Xie Er when he woke up knowing that these people came here to make things difficult, and he didn't even know what the enemy could do when the enemy was in the dark and we were in the open. What does he do.

"I don't know why you are here?"

The one who spoke was Xie Wanping who was still pulling the lid of the teacup and refused to take a sip: "I heard that you really plan to be with Big Brother?"

"……Um."

"The family precepts and rules of the Xie family, where did you get the confidence to pass them all?"

"The relationship between him and your Xie family has been wiped out long ago, hasn't it? Now it's far-fetched to use this as an example."

Xie Wanping covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "His surname is still Xie now, so why not my Xie family? Even though he was removed from the genealogy by my family because of something, he, Xie Linyuan, still cannot get rid of the constraints of the Xie family. Naturally, he must abide by the family rules. of~"

Shen Linyan's eyes were heavy: "The words are unreasonable!"

"It's still uncertain who is going to make a fuss, third brother, what is the first rule of the Xie family's family rules, Nian Nian."

"Those who cannot pass on their offspring are not allowed to marry into Xie's family as a daughter-in-law. If there is no marriage after many years, the Xie family has the right to write a letter to divorce her without going through her husband."

Shen Linyan smiled: "Who said that if I'm with him, I have to become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family?"

Xie Wanping's smile suddenly faded, and she seemed to be a little annoyed: "I don't care about that! You are a man, how can you have any descendants of the Xie family..."

"He has."

The door connecting the hall to the back room was opened from the inside, and the figure of Xie Linyuan standing there was already visible, but because of his tall and slender figure, others would not think about it when they saw it.

Xie Er followed behind, looking at him apologetically with a sad face.

He just frowned, went over to help Xie Linyuan sit down on the main seat, and stood upside down behind Xie Linyuan himself, looking respectful.

Seeing him coming out, Xie Wanping was taken aback by his appearance, and everyone in the room fell silent after being shocked.

After a long time, Xie Xiaoliu couldn't bear it, and pointed at his elder brother. The surprise and excitement at first sight had long been replaced by dumbfounded, so he could only speak with trembling lips: "Brother, brother...you are..."

Xie Linyuan was much calmer and calmer in comparison.

"You say that he can't be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family because he can't bear children, and even though I was expelled, I'm still under the control of the Xie family. I can't even marry freely, right?"

"That's right!" Xie Wanping was the first to come back to his senses, and smiled grimly, "No matter how much you struggle, he, Shen Linyan, will never be able to enter Xie's house."

Xie Linyuan was not in a hurry, but just quietly looked at his stomach.

After a long time, I raised my eyes, and a miraculous tenderness appeared in my eyes:

"He, Shen Linyan, has an heir from my Xie family, and he is here."

The people present were so shocked that they even turned over the chairs they were sitting on. The gray-bearded people almost all pointed at Xie Linyuan and him with trembling fingers.

"Heh~Look~ Some of you are dissatisfied with me, Xie Wanping, but look at the things you have always done to ruin the style of your proud disciples?"

"Xie Wanping, shut up! It's not your turn to speak here!"

Hearing this, one of the gray-bearded ones couldn't help but change from red to black, and said angrily.

With just one look from Xie Wanping, two young men stood out from the crowd, and put the gray beard on the ground expressionlessly, Xie Wanping then said calmly:

"Five hundred punishments with a cane, gouging out your face and tattooing characters... You have been famous all over the world for your diligence, thrift and courtesy. If so, then stab the word 'arrogant and extravagant', and execute the sentence immediately~"

Xie Linyuan frowned imperceptibly, but had no choice but to turn his face away to endure it.

Not long after, there was the muffled sound of heavy objects hitting outside the courtyard, but no screams were seen.

Shen Linyan couldn't help but sigh, although these famous masters who taught Xie Linyuan couldn't see them being together like this, they even accused him of ruining Xie Linyuan's life and Xie's family.

But Xie Linyuan was brought up by them after all, and they cannot allow others to say that he is wrong, especially Xie Wanping...

Sometimes he envies Xie Linyuan very much. He has brothers who respect and love each other, a teacher who loves him, and... who likes to cling to him, and even a sixth brother who may surpass ordinary emotions...

As for him, he didn't know who his parents were when he was young, and even the fox den he managed to find was not safe.

Fortunately, he himself likes to be quiet, and he can endure the loneliness of not having much contact with others.

Xie Linyuan turned his head as if feeling something in his heart, held his hand, and gently rubbed his hand to comfort him.

Recently, he has been laughing a lot, which is very good-looking, and very... makes his heart beat.

The lost heart has an instant to rely on.

Not long after, the dying white beard was dragged in by those two people, and they ruthlessly let go, allowing the white beard to lie on the ground.

As soon as the two returned to their seats, other white beards stepped forward to help him up. The seriously injured white beard could barely open his eyes, and he still did not forget to shake his fingers at Xie Wanping:

"The witch... you have done so many wicked things behind the Emperor's back, and you will be punished one day!"

Xie Wanping took a sip of the tea in the cup, and smiled wantonly:

"Oh? This time I didn't call him Shen Linyan an evil, but called me a demon girl? You guys are not confused~ Besides, as long as my Yuan Zheng is fine, how can the Emperor of Heaven have the time to care about me? Govern the Xie family and the Yu family? Is it up to me how to report?"

"If this girl is not removed, my Xie family will be in danger! The world will be in danger!"

White Beard scolded angrily while coughing up blood, then suddenly turned to Shen Linyan, his eyes seemed to pounce on him and eat him:

"If it weren't for you, I would have already controlled the overall situation at this moment, and eliminated this strange scourge for the world. How could she have allowed her to dominate for so many years! The Xie family's foundation has been destroyed, and I will be the first to let you go!"

Shen Linyan remained silent, but bowed respectfully to the white beard, and said calmly:

"If there is a day that threatens him, Xie Linyuan, Shen knows what to do, please rest assured, but Xie Linyuan is not only a member of the Xie family, he also has his own way to go, doesn't he?"

"You, what do you know as an outsider!"

"Yes, I don't understand, but I have eyes, and I can see it in my heart: Although the current patriarch of the Xie family is not the candidate you valued at the beginning, it is not difficult to see his talent in these years of governance, and he is not much inferior to Xie Linyuan. Why do you want to hold on to him?"

"Or maybe, what you value is not the brains and talents of the candidate, but...a puppet who can listen to you? If you are the head of the clan, you will be threatened by you from the political affairs of the clan to the trivial matters at home. , what's the use of suzerain if it's swayed?"

"you?!"

The white beards were so angry that they couldn't speak, and the beards kept shaking.

Shen Linyan bowed upright, made a thoughtful courtesy to the white beards, then retreated calmly, without saying a word.

Xie Linyuan turned his head and took a deep look at him, his eyes were bright.

No one noticed that Xie San, who was in the crowd opposite, also cast his gaze over.

Xie Xiaoliu was still biting his fingers, stuffing the dessert on the table into his mouth as if venting his anger, stuffing his cheeks bulging and sulking.

Xie Wanping's face was uncertain, drinking his own tea, he kept looking back and forth between White Beard and the chief seat's reaction, as if watching a show.

For a while, everyone had different thoughts.

In the end, Xie Wanping got up to say goodbye, and led a mighty "evacuation" of the "Xie Jiajun".

The medicine house in the mountains regained its calm again.

But has peace really returned?

Shen Linyan and Xie Linyuan stood side by side on the top of the mountain, feeling uneasy.

This time Xie Wanping came to visit unexpectedly after such a long time, clearly saying that he came to denounce him for what identity he was following Xie Linyuan and making things difficult for him in every possible way, but in fact he came to find out the truth...to find out about the conspiracy she had prepared net.

"Respect."

"..."

"They want a puppet regent, so they care so much about me... What about you?"

"What am I?"

"You promised to be with me, maybe it was for some purpose..."

"Why do you think I'm with you?"

"I..." Xie Linyuan sighed, and could only keep holding his hand and rubbing it, "I don't know what you are thinking, you are bored by yourself when you have something to do, and you don't have many friends, I don't even know, are you It's not just because of the child that you will compromise..."

Shen Linyan was silent, and suddenly felt disheartened, and couldn't help but said: "Since you think so, then go ahead."

The hand holding him suddenly tightened, the force almost crushing his bones.

He suddenly turned around and buried his head in his shoulder, with a muffled voice.

"The second child said that this is very dangerous, especially my frame is not suitable... If I can't survive this child after it comes out, you... may you come to my grave..."

"Thank you Linyuan!"

Shen Linyan admitted that when he heard this, he felt flustered, pushed him away suddenly, and yelled hysterically:

"You just like to leave me alone, don't you? Well, if you dare to give up easily, I will jump into the River of Forgetfulness immediately, and let the endless water of the River of Forgetfulness wipe out all my existence, and you can go to reincarnation as much as you want! I will never go to your grave if I die!"

"Respect..."

Xie Linyuan stared at him blankly, wanting to get closer.

"Do not touch me!"

Shen Linyan squatted there, clutching her head as if out of control, deeply saddened:

"I don't want the fox bead anymore? I don't understand what you are afraid of if you have the fox bead... Why don't you understand? I don't want to see anyone die in front of me! Whether it's a relative or an old enemy, even a passer-by ...why erase their existence...what did they do wrong..."

"What did you say? The fox bead...is on me..."

Xie Linyuan suddenly turned pale and took a few steps back, in disbelief:

"Why? Your millennium cultivation base is all on the fox bead, you... aren't you like a mortal with no power to restrain a chicken? Why give it to me?!"

"Do you think you'll be fine after taking that medicine? Without the thousand-year cultivation base of the fox bead, even shaping your body will kill you! The fox bead can still protect you until the child is born, and the skill will not decrease..."

"...Life is a matter of life and death, I'm not afraid, but you shouldn't have given me the fox bead!"

"Xie Linyuan!" He raised his head with empty eyes, looked at Xie Linyuan, and smiled desperately, "You said that life and death have fate, and the Emperor of Heaven almost destroyed me to nothing, why are you collecting my old soul everywhere? Let me reincarnate into the fox family? You can be cruel to yourself, why can't you be cruel to me!"

"Respect!"

Xie Linyuan hugged him tightly like he was afraid, wishing to melt into his flesh and blood, as if recalling something bad, the ending was trembling:

"I don't care how much you remember from your previous life, I just beg you not to scare me that much anymore! When I woke up, what I was waiting for was not your sarcastic remarks...you turned into bones, and they tried every means to bully you. ~Humiliation, even so, they are still worried, they...they burned your ashes with the flames of the Red Lotus Hell...they even..."

Hearing this, Shen Linyan suddenly became quiet. He helped Xie Linyuan's red eyes and face still without a single tear, and smiled lightly, very lightly.

"So what? These things... are far less serious and ruthless than the harm you did to me when you imprisoned me."

"Everyone in the world can despise me, and the emperor of heaven can insult me, but you are the only one... Xie Linyuan, I can't stand your torture, even if you just look at me or snort... Even if you say you love me, no one can bear it." Comparable."

Shen Linyan became ruthless, and pressed hard on Xie Linyuan's cold, thin lips.

The pain that goes deep to the bone marrow can only be conveyed in this way.

Convey the wrong love in the past, and the final discouragement... Xie Linyuan, he will remember the scars you gave him for a lifetime, even if he touched them with overwhelming hatred and regret, he would not be willing to forget them.

"Xie Linyuan, you are my only one."

Between the lips and teeth, there was a whisper so low that it was almost drowned by the wind.

At this moment, it was deeply imprinted in Xie Linyuan's mind and engraved in his heart.

It seemed that everything was worth it, just because of Shen Linyan's words.

Even against the sky, he is willing!

"If you say today, you will never have a chance to go back on your word, respectfully."

"I want you to be long-winded!"

"Then... why not let me..."

"Hmph! Did I say no? If I didn't care about the child, I wouldn't be willing to..."

"Ok, I know."

"Are you planning to take action on Xie Wanping's matter?"

"...Let's talk about it, don't worry about it."

"I'm afraid the tree wants to be quiet but the wind won't stop. Linyuan, I don't have the fox beads. I'm afraid I will become your burden. What White Beard said is right. If it really comes to that time, leave me alone."

"..."

"Lin Yuan?"

"Do you think it's possible?"

"Then at least... you can have nothing to do."

"it is good."

"Brother! It's not good!"

Shen Linyan turned her head in doubt, and looked at Xie Er who was running out of breath.

Xie Er propped up his knees, pointed at the waterfall behind the mountain, his hands were shaking:

"The Demon Lord... the seal of the Demon Lord..."

The author has something to say: It is said that Xiao Shenmu is still very angry even if he has a fox bead. After all, the talent is there, otherwise he would not be jealous and jealous of the emperor of heaven?
