Fire and theft prevention

"Who are you scolding! My father and mother are on good terms!" Huo Long roared back, with a touch of his ancestor's irascibility.

He didn't realize it until he finished yelling, and his little face immediately turned pale: "Wait, why, why are there human voices in the cave?"

Mu Qingjia remained silent, and took a few steps forward, getting closer to the voice just now.Huo Taki followed behind him step by step, lit the bright light talisman again, and shone it around.

Nothing.

Another sharp female voice came: "I don't know which wild man out there kept the seed, a fool who is as good as he can be."

Mu Qingjia paused, her face darkened slightly.

"No, it's obviously not me." Huo Ting scratched his head and said.

The shrill female voice disappeared, and was replaced by another rough man's voice.

"The rice worm who lives on the charity of Master Fox Immortal!" He scolded, "All the good food and good things we sacrificed have entered their mother's five internal organs temple!"

Mu Qingjia's lips were stretched into a straight line, and he quickly walked back and forth to the source of the sound, and the wood spirit penetrated into it.

The voices aren't here - they're on the other side of the wall.

He bent down and found a palm-sized square hole in the corner of the wall. This kind of small hole is generally used in temples and halls for drainage and ventilation.

It was also because of this hole that the voices from the other side of the wall could reach them so clearly.

I don't know what I was afraid of over there, and it was quiet for a while.A moment later, a frenzy of laughter suddenly broke out.

"Giggle!" "Hahaha!" "Hee hee!"

They laughed so beautifully, they laughed so hard that their hearts were broken, they laughed so that the demons danced wildly, and they laughed so that the world was moved.

Huo Ting covered his ears tightly, his voice trembling: "How many people are there? Are they humans or demons? Or, or ghosts? Amu, let's leave quickly."

He looked up, and saw that the man who was usually as warm as a spring breeze had no expression on his face. Under the cold light of the Bright Light Talisman, his face even looked a little pale.

"Amu?" Huo Ting trembled.

Mu Qingjia paused, then turned her head to show him a soothing and familiar smile, and continued to listen intently.

The wind was blowing and raining behind the wall, the laughter gradually dispersed, and a familiar female voice gradually sounded.

She choked up and asked, "Why did I give birth to a daughter? Why can I only have one daughter?"

Huo Taki cheered up: "Hey! I've heard this voice before. Where did it come from...?"

The voice behind the wall continued.

"They all look down on me and call me a village woman. The master's favor is only for a while. Before long, I will be old and young, and even a servant in the mansion can abuse me..."

"It shouldn't be like this. I shouldn't stop here." The woman's voice became more and more sharp and crazy, "Why can't my daughter inherit the Liu family business? That way - I can, I can spend my whole life without relying on others look alive!"

Mu Qingjia first put his index finger on his lips, signaling Huo Taki to be quiet, and then wrote three words in the air: {Madam. }

Huo Ting took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Isn't she already dead? Could it be that there really is a ghost?"

Mu Qingjia shook her head, before she could write any more, she heard another charming woman say: "I will fulfill your wish for you."

Although he was prepared, he still found it a bit unbelievable.Because the owner of that voice is none other than the female fox demon who killed Liu Dalang.

They didn't catch her during the chaos in the Liu Mansion that night. From this, it seems that this fox demon is very likely to be the mastermind of this incident, and it should also be the stronger one among the fox demons.

Da Furen's voice was in a trance: "What? Who's talking?"

"I killed them for you." The fox demon said, "I killed all the people surnamed Liu for you, so that you and your children can control the financial and material resources of the entire Liu family, right?"

"In this way, the Liu Mansion is ours..." The lady's voice was erratic, "Am I dreaming? Could it be that there really is a fox fairy..."

"Of course." The charming voice said displeased.

"But asking me to do things is not for nothing. Listen, after you take control of the Liu Mansion, you will rebuild the Fox Immortal Temple, hold sacrifices every month as usual, and sacrifice a living person with a complete soul every year. Do you understand?"

Taking advantage of this time, the eldest lady's voice has regained her composure. "I understand." She said.

"Hehe, he's a smart man." The fox demon laughed, "I will fulfill your wish for you, and you will fulfill our promise. Remember, I will find you."

As soon as the words fell, Qinghui rose in Mu Qingjia's hand.Layers of plaster were peeling off the walls, revealing the wooden walls beneath.Moss and mushrooms grew wildly, drawing nutrients from the wooden wall. They quickly climbed to the drainage hole at the bottom and climbed through the hole.

Horrified cursing sounded from the opposite side, from men, women and children, and it was as lively as a large gathering.

After the sound of claws scraping the stone slab, an unknown object was pushed out of the hole by the mushrooms and moss. Its two claws gripped the stone floor tightly, but it was still pushed out.

Mu Qingjia moved neatly, and drew a binding symbol in the air with one hand, and the two-clawed creature was bound firmly by the vines.

"Your mother's feather duster!" The thing opened its round beak and yelled hoarsely, "Little bastard!"

The voices of different people came from the pocket bird's beak. The bird's belly expanded and contracted, and the sound it spit out was like a bell, and even a little deafening.

Those human voices that could not have appeared in the cave just now were "spoken" from its mouth.

"Grass chicken?" Huo Long was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, "It turned out to be a grass chicken playing tricks?"

The bird is only the size of a palm, and its feathers are gray. Only the beak and tail are bright red, and the tail feathers look a little bald.

The whole bird has a short neck, small wings, and is chubby. It's no wonder that Huo Taki called it a grass chicken.

The "grass chicken" heard that the boss was not happy, and still made up other people's words: "Who the hell is it?" "The grass chicken!" "The grass chicken can also fly up trees and become a phoenix!"

{It is irrigation. }Mu Qingjia looked at it with folded arms.

"Guan Guan?" Huo Ting repeated doubtfully.

When the bird named "Guan Guan" heard someone recognize its name, it immediately shrank its neck and cursed in a low voice.

It's not long since Huo Long started bigu, and he hasn't had a proper meal since he came to Liu's residence. Looking at this fat chicken, his stomach growled, and he was inexplicably hungry.

He asked stupidly, "Is it delicious?"

Mu Qingjia had a meal, and then smiled even wider: {A rare delicacy.Steamed, braised, grilled, I can do it. }

Huo Long took a breath in response to the occasion.

Guan Guan was so frightened that he almost lost control.

The speculation was confirmed, and Mu Qingjia's mood soared, and even the new and old grudges with this little grass chicken were forgotten.

In fact, when he knew the big white fox and knew that this was the gathering place of the fox clan, he had some doubts whether this mountain was the legendary Qingqiu mountain, and whether the big white fox was the so-called nine-tailed fox.

The Yangzhou and Yingshui mentioned by the old village, and the natural dye called Qingyu he found when he was young, seem to correspond to the ancient book "The mountain of Qingqiu has many jades in its yang and green bazaars in its yin". , "Yingshui came out of Yan" and other rumors.

But because in his memory there was only one white fox from the beginning to the end, Mu Qingjia was never sure.

Until the standard configuration of Qingqiu Mountain, "Guan Guan" appeared.

Guan Guan is good at imitating voices, and especially likes to imitate fierce scolding. When it's boring to be alone, he likes to talk to himself, entertain himself, play the role of multiple scolding, and babble all he has heard before.

It didn't know when and where it heard and learned the large-scale ventriloquism scene just now.

Hearing the sound of Huo Long's saliva, Na Guanyan imitated tremblingly: "It's too bad to eat, bah!" "Dross, dross." "It's terrible!"

When Guan Guan only heard their voices but didn't know their shapes, he felt that these voices were mysterious and weird, but once Guan Guan really stood in front of them and sang his voice, it seemed completely funny.

Huo Long was amused by it and laughed, covering his stomach in joy.

Mu Qingjia squatted down, grabbed Guan Guan's two small wings and a small head with one hand, and made a skillful chicken-killing movement.

Guan Guan kicked his legs wildly in fright, and poured out all kinds of cowardly words.Some of the voices were immature, some were old, and there were all kinds of voices. Finally, a deep and hoarse male voice appeared.

"it's all my fault."

Mu Qingjia's movements froze, Guan Guan thought it worked, and immediately learned it several times.

"It's all my fault." "It's all my fault."

A hoarse and deep voice echoed in the tunnel.

The voice was so characteristic and the emotion was so strong that Huo Taki at the side could also hear it: "... Isn't this that fierce fairy friend?"

Mu Qingjia was silent.

Guan Guan knew that the sound he had learned probably had something to do with them, so he searched his brains and poured out another pile of beans.

Different from the tone of despair and regret just now, this time the voice is younger and clearer, full of hope for the future.

But without exception, it was Huo Wei's voice.

"When the junior sister grows up, we will hand over Mount Gaotu to the junior sister, and then come here to live in seclusion together and live a free life."

His voice was calm, but there was a slight smile hidden in it.

"Whenever you and I get sick and return to the west, we will be buried in this mountain together."

"When the spring rain falls, beautiful little wild flowers bloom on your grave, so I will be a butterfly on the flowers on your grave."

The voice fell, and the cave was full of silence.Mu Qingjia grasped the pair of chicken wings in a daze, her hands trembling slightly.

Huo Taki's voice broke the delicate atmosphere.

"Unexpectedly, that person looks... but is actually a lover." He rubbed the back of his head and said in embarrassment.

Mu Qingjia still didn't move.

This is his hometown, Huo Wei is the second student of the master, and the third student of Shui Jingzhe. The only ones who can call her junior sister are Huo Wei and himself.

What Huo Wei said was for him, a senior brother.

With the embarrassment of the younger brother, he can save his face and say these words, it is not an exaggeration to say that they used to be brothers and sisters.

The current Huo Wei has always spoken harshly to himself, mocking and teasing him often, but he did not expect that the friendship between teachers and brothers is so deep.

Mu Qingjia felt a little ashamed because of his depth.

——When I was a senior brother, I didn't seem to be a role model. Is it worthy of my junior brother to spend a lifetime living in seclusion with me, giving up my life to provide for myself?

He smirked, and felt that his heart and liver were boiled in a pot of warm water, warmed and softened.

How could such a junior brother harm him like Gu Xiao said?

Mu Qing touched Guan Guan's chicken head as if rewarding him.

While being moved, Mu Qingjia felt that the whole thing had a sense of mystery. It seemed that it was all a coincidence, but it seemed like it was destined to happen.

The appearance of Guan Guan seems to draw a complete circle, it seals up a lost long-term memory, saves it until now, and then opens it by himself, who has lost his memory.

Just like a jar of wine, it is sealed in the ground before the gunpowder smokes, spends a long cold winter, and is unsealed when the sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom the next year.

Still looks mellow.

——Just thinking about how his irritable junior brother can have such a brotherly and respectful side is worth Mu Qingjia's treasure for a lifetime.

Whenever Huo Wei gets angry with him again, if he chokes his junior with these words, it may have unexpected effects.He smiled maliciously.

Guan Guan was exhausted from struggling in his hands, and when he drooped his neck and pretended to be dead, he suddenly found that the two-legged beast that had been petrified for a long time had a new movement.

Mu Qingjia went to the tail of Guan Guan, grabbed the few remaining long feathers, and pulled out quickly and ruthlessly.

"Your grandfather's!!!" Guan Guan wailed.

Mu Qingjia let go of it, and touched his nose apologetically.

It did bring a jar of "good wine", but the hair should be plucked.

After all, Guan Guan's feathers are an excellent magic weapon for them to resist the soul-destroying bell.

The author has something to say:

Green mall (huo four) is a kind of pigment that appeared on the eyes of foxes that Mu Qingjia carved when he was a child, and also appeared on the eyes of the headless statues in the Fox Fairy Temple.

Lao Cunzheng said that it was Yingshui who blocked Mo Xiu from burning the city.

OOC Small Theater:

Huo Wei: That's my confession!It is indeed a confession!Why can't senior brother hear you? (biting handkerchief with tearful eyes)

Mu Qingjia was very moved on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about how to embarrass his junior brother with these words.
