reborn little fish

Jiang Yulang frowned and tilted his head, "But... the two of us must prepare."

I immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, five days, five days is enough for us to prepare things, right?"

"But, didn't you say you need money outside?" Jiang Yulang thought of a very important question.

I thought for a while and said, "It's definitely impossible to find a town to settle in immediately after leaving the valley. It may not even be populated. It seems that we need to bring some dry food. Well, dried meat should be good, right?"

"There are no people... So, which way should we go?" Jiang Yulang frowned and looked at me: "No, it's too dangerous."

"Stupid Ayu, do you think I might not even do this bit of homework?" I rolled my eyes, then stood up and found a piece of paper.

"What is this?" Jiang Yulang stood up as a last resort.

Because it was already late at night, and basically everyone in the valley had already fallen asleep, so I didn't light a lamp, but just pulled Jiang Yulang to the window, and showed him the piece of paper by the moonlight.

"This is... a map?" Jiang Yulang was slightly surprised.

"Well, this map is what I asked little by little from Tu Jiaojiao and Xuanyuan Sanguang, and then I drew it. Although it may not be correct, what they said means that going south will get easier and faster. The more prosperous we are, if this map is wrong, we don’t care about anything else, just keep going south.” I said with some uncertainty, after all, even if I walked through those roads, the map drawn may not be accurate, let alone I just fabricated this out of thin air according to Du Jiaojiao's description.

"Since this is the case, it will be much easier to handle. Forget it. I'll talk about the details tomorrow. It's already late, so go to bed first." Jiang Yulang rarely looked sleepy. Although I am very excited now, seeing him like this, He nodded without saying anything, and dragged him to lie down on the bed again.

As a result, not long after I lay down, I heard some strange sounds.I listened carefully, and found that something seemed to be scratching the door. It was the sound when the puppy at home used to scratch wood and the like.

It's just that there are no dogs in the valley at all, so what would come to grab the door, and in the middle of the night... the sound makes people's skin crawl.

"Ayu, did you hear anything?" I poked Jiang Yulang, this guy won't fall asleep so well, right?

"I heard it." Jiang Yulang half stood up and looked at me and said, "Wait till I open the door to take a look."

"I'll go with you." I frowned slightly. I still don't know what is outside the door. The two of us are more supportive together. If it's... Ah Piao or something, then the two of us will be lucky. .

"I'm fine on my own, there shouldn't be anything wrong." Jiang Yulang patted my shoulder.

Although this kid is not a pedantic student who doesn't talk about supernatural powers, no one in the Valley of the Evil has instilled in him the horror of Ah Piao, and he has never heard of those ghost stories, and now he has become a foolish and bold .Although he said so, I was still worried and followed him to open the door.

After opening the door, the two of us looked at each other in blank dismay. There was no one at all. What was it that was grabbing the door?A gust of night wind blew by, and I couldn't help shaking, wouldn't my crow's mouth really make sense?Just when I was feeling chills all over, I suddenly felt something grabbing my ankles. Immediately, I was frightened out of my wits... oh, it’s a bit exaggerated, but I was really scared. He wailed and howled, but he held onto Jiang Yulang tightly, trembling for a long time without the courage to look down.

Woo, I have never done anything bad, no matter in my previous life or this life, you have found the wrong person for revenge, right?If it's wild boars and wild rabbits in the mountains... the food chain determines your position, it's useless for you to look for me, you might as well pray that you will become a human in your next life.Hey, don't scratch me, I really really haven't done anything bad.

Jiang Yulang is much calmer than me. I am shivering here like a leaf in the cold wind. He looked at me incomprehensibly. It took me a long time to spit out a word: "Feet..." I can guarantee the vibrato behind this word It's comparable to those singers... I really didn't realize that I had a talent for singing before.

Jiang Yulang immediately looked down. I saw his slightly surprised expression by the moonlight, and couldn't help but smile wryly. Hey, you don't have to be so bold, do you?Is it just surprise to see something coming out of the ground?It seems that if we can live safely until tomorrow morning, it is necessary for me to spread the knowledge of A Piao with him. At least I can't let this kid see A Piao and go up to call him a brother, right?

"Huh? Little fox?" Jiang Yulang's voice was low, but I could still hear what he said.

what... what?Little Fox?I immediately forgot my fear and looked down, right? The little white fox is also very eye-catching in the dark night.At this moment it is hugging my feet and whimpering lowly.I ignored its cry just now because I was too scared, but...even if I heard the scene just now...I'm afraid I would think it was a ghost.

It was a misunderstanding that was not beautiful at all. I let go of Jiang Yulang's arm and touched my nose in embarrassment.I seemed to be very hard just now, I don't know if his arm hurts from my scratch, will it leave marks?I looked down at the little fox, neither angry nor smiling.This little guy, why are you here at this time?

"It...how did it come here? How did it find this place?" Jiang Yulang obviously didn't understand.

Finally, I sighed: "Forget it, let's go back to the house first."

I bent down to pick up the little fox, and dragged Jiang Yulang back to the house. Fortunately, the disturbance just now was not big, and no one in the whole valley was disturbed, otherwise... I would have lost face to my grandma's house.If Bai Kaixin, who is always at odds with me, finds out, he might laugh at me.

I put the little fox on the table, and Jiang Yulang also lit the oil lamp at this time.The little guy seemed a little afraid of the fire and took two steps toward me, and lay down in front of me—face to face.I looked at it, and at this moment, the anger that I had just felt after being scared had dissipated—I really can't get angry at such a cute little guy.

"Hey, little guy, why did you come here?" I tapped its nose, and this little guy didn't resist, and licked my hand obediently. Although I'm not a girl, I still treat this kind of There is no resistance to furry and cute things.

"Maybe it found it following our scent? It seems to like you." Jiang Yulang also reached out to touch it curiously. Although the little guy didn't object, he didn't show a very affectionate look towards Jiang Yulang. , just turned to look at him, and then turned to look at me obediently.

I nodded and tilted my head to tease the little fox and said, "This little guy is quite cute. I guess he lost his parents too. If he happens to meet us, he will come with us." I said with some uncertainty, although the little fox It's quite smart, and sometimes it can communicate simply, but... after all, it can't speak out, and no one knows what it really thinks.

"Since you like it, just keep it." Jiang Yulang said indifferently.

"It's just...we are going out of the valley soon, and we took this little guy with us along the way..." I said hesitantly.

"If it is willing to follow, then follow it, and if you don't want to follow it, let it go back to the forest, and it doesn't matter even if it follows, this kind of animal that grew up in the wild can endure hardships and is more flexible than us." Although the little fox followed Jiang Yulang wasn't very close, but Jiang Yulang obviously didn't hate it either.

I thought for a while and felt that what Jiang Yulang said was right, so I grabbed the little fox by its two paws and said, "Then, little guy, can you stay here from now on?"

The little fox seemed to understand and licked my hand again, and I patted its head with a smile.He yawned involuntarily, and Jiang Yulang said hastily, "Okay, let the little fox find a place to sleep. It's been half the night. If you don't sleep, it will be dawn."

I was also really a little sleepy, so I nodded, put the little fox on the ground and sent it to find a place to nest - anyway, it was summer, and the ground was not cold, not to mention that the ones who grew up in the mountains were not so delicate.

Early the next morning, the little fox became a little star in the valley. It always liked to be tired of me, and I was tired of holding it, so I had to throw it on my shoulder. Fortunately, the little guy was not big enough to be around I sat on my shoulders, and we were both quite happy with the solution.However, Du Jiaojiao and the others expressed curiosity about the sudden appearance of such a little fox beside me. I always explained to the outside world that I rescued it by accident, and didn't say much. The little fox followed him inseparably.

In the next few days, Jiang Yulang and I can be said to be very busy. He will be responsible for hunting and barbecue, and I will be responsible for making poison and masks. We need to prepare a few more, the mask we made is not human skin, so it is not waterproof, once it gets wet, it will be destroyed, and the materials are not necessarily easy to find when you go out, besides... it will cost money to buy it outside, Tu Jiao Jiao's materials can be used by the two of us.

As for the issue of money, well, go to the woods more, collect more good herbs, and you can always sell some money.It's just that the two of us are constantly busy like a top, which always makes people suspicious.

No, Du Jiaojiao called me over early in the morning and asked, "Xiao Yu'er, what are you and Jiang Yulang busy with these two days? They are not idle for a moment."
