Ning Chen

All I can see are the delicacies of all kinds but cannot be named: blood rake duck, fish in sour soup, stuffed with fresh flowers, glutinous rice cakes...

Seeing Xie Zhanning's bright eyes, Gu Lichen was very amused, and said with a smile: "Little boy, just let go and eat whatever you want."

Gu Lichen's big talk was a bit early. He never expected that little Xie Zhanning would have such a big appetite. He alone could eat from the street to the end of the street, and then from the end of the street to the street.

Gu Lichen shook the money bag in his hand, and said helplessly, "I've talked big, there's nothing I can do about it."

Every time Xie Zhanning buys food, he never forgets to let Gu Lichen have a taste too. Gu Lichen originally planned to find a comfortable place to sit down quietly and eat a decent meal, but now it's okay There is no need to look for a place, and the various snacks thrown by Xie Zhanning will fill you up before the rice is wet.

"Xiao Zai Zai, have you eaten enough?" Gu Lichen was dragged by Xie Zhanning all over the streets and alleys, and now he felt a little strenuous, so he sat down and said, "Let me rest for a while, if you still eat If you haven’t eaten enough, you can eat slowly by yourself, here, I’ll give you the money bag.”

"Hey..." Xie Zhanning ate so happily that he forgot the time, but he didn't realize that the full moon had quietly popped out of his head. Gu Lichen sat on the bluestone bench by the street, watching Xie Zhanning's head grow A pair of furry ears.

Before Xie Zhanning could react, Gu Lichen quickly rolled up his crane cloak and wrapped Xie Zhanning tightly in his arms.

"Zhanning, the ears are coming out..." Xie Zhanning was startled, tonight is also the night of the full moon, he must have turned into that terrifying appearance again.

Gu Lichen wrapped Xie Zhanning in his arms carefully, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, no one else will see, let's go back first."

On the way back, Xie Zhanning just kept snuggling in Gu Lichen's arms. Originally, he was most afraid of being discovered by his ugly appearance, but now for some reason, his heart was unprecedentedly calm, so calm that he felt It doesn't matter what he looks like in front of Gu Lichen.

Back at the bamboo building, Xie Zhanning asked, "Brother Lichen, aren't you afraid of me like this?"

Gu Lichen raised his eyebrows, and asked back, "What does it look like? Is it furry? It's cute, why are you afraid?"

cute?It was the first time Xie Zhanning heard someone describe him like this. You must know that those people used to be afraid that he was a monster, and wished that he died early.

Seeing Xie Zhanning's stunned and speechless expression, Gu Lichen casually drew a light mirror in front of Xie Zhanning's eyes, "Here, see for yourself if you don't believe me."

No red pupils, no fangs, no sharp claws, only a pair of furry ears, how could this be?Even Xie Zhanning himself couldn't figure out why today and yesterday were completely different on the night of the full moon.

Gu Lichen said, "Xiao Zai Zai, are you wondering where your fangs and sharp claws went?"

"Yeah." Xie Zhanning nodded in a daze, and the ears on his head fanned accordingly. It was indeed as Gu Lichen said, very cute.

Gu Lichen said seriously: "You are a half-demon, aren't you?"

Hearing the word 'half demon', Xie Zhanning froze in place suddenly, with his eyes wide open, he said in astonishment, "How do you know?"

Seeing Xie Zhanning's appearance, Gu Lichen became more certain, "It seems that I guessed correctly."

12. Thousands of miles to find a teacher

"Hey, Master is here."

A chill flashed across Xie Zhanning's eyes, he lowered his face, and said coldly: "Then why did you save a monster?"

Gu Lichen pursed his lips and said with a smile, "When did I say you were a monster? I obviously meant a half-demon."

Seeing that Xie Zhanning didn't speak, Gu Lichen said again: "In my opinion, your fangs and sharp claws should only be born when you feel hostility. I don't have any hostility towards you, so they won't appear. Slightly.

That's right, Xie Zhanning almost forgot, since when did he turn into this ghostly appearance on the night of the full moon, from the moment he saw his parents die in front of his own eyes, he Be wary of all at all times.

Seeing that Xie Zhanning was still sullen, Gu Lichen continued, "If you insist on me telling a reason to save you, it will be easier."

"What reason?" Xie Zhanning murmured.

Gu Lichen smiled and said, "Because I know that Ermao's leg injury was not caused by you at all, but you actually saved him, right?"

The chill in Xie Zhanning's eyes gradually dissipated, "...but they don't believe me."

Gu Lichen said seriously: "They don't believe you, I believe you, I know, you are a good boy, you are absolutely unwilling to hurt others."

Xie Zhanning lowered his head and murmured: "...I don't know if I will hurt others, I don't know..."

Seeing Xie Zhanning's frowning, Gu Lichen changed his mind and said, "Little boy, brother Lichen has an idea, do you want to listen to it?"

Xie Zhanning raised his head and asked, "What idea?"

Gu Lichen smiled nicely, and said: "Adore me as a teacher, the so-called teacher for one day and father for life, as a master, I will never ignore you, as long as you follow me to practice hard, one day, I will definitely It can make you completely put away your hostility, and stop showing others that way.

apprenticeship?Absolutely won't ignore him?Xie Zhanning never thought that one day someone would say such words to him. He thought that he could only hide in this barren mountain and live in anxiety in his life.

Seeing that Xie Zhanning didn't answer, Gu Lichen thought it was because he didn't want to, "Why, don't you want to?"

After a while, Xie Zhanning tremblingly uttered two words, "Master...father..." Being a teacher for one day and being a father for life, Xie Zhanning has a master, so he can stay by Gu Lichen's side forever , so that he is no longer alone.

"Hey, the master is here." In the past 200 years, Gu Lichen has never accepted a disciple. He was also someone's disciple in a long time, but that person never asked him to call him master.

"Master, please accept my disciple's worship." Xie Zhanning kowtowed heavily three times.

"Get up." Gu Lichen helped Xie Zhanning up, reached out and touched his furry ears, and said with a smile, "It's so cute."

Xie Zhanning's ears were touched, his whole body became numb, and he blushed and said: "...Master, Master, don't touch it..."

Seeing Xie Zhanning's blushing face, Gu Lichen became even more interesting, and said with a smile, "You really look like a little wolf cub, from now on Master will call you little cub."

"Yeah." Xie Zhanning nodded with a blushing face, a pair of fluffy ears greedily rubbed back and forth on Gu Lichen's big hands.

"Xiao Zai Zai, come here." Gu Lichen didn't know when he lay down on the bed again, patted the empty space beside him, and said, "Xiao Zai Zai, Master has something to do tomorrow, and Master will come after the matter is finished." Come back to pick you up, okay?"

Xie Zhanning blushed obediently and lay down next to Gu Lichen, and when he heard that he was about to leave, he immediately lowered his ears, "Then how long will I have to wait..."

Gu Lichen turned over, faced Xie Zhanning, and said solemnly: "This matter that Master is going to do is very important, and we can't draw conclusions arbitrarily for how long it will take."

Seeing Xie Zhanning's disappointed face, Gu Lichen said again: "But Master can guarantee that as soon as the matter is finished, Master will come back to pick you up immediately."

"...Well, I believe in Master." Xie Zhanning has never believed in anyone, and he does not want to believe in anyone, but at this moment he wants to wholeheartedly try to accept and trust the person in front of him, this one will save him from the endless A person pulled up from the abyss of bitter cold.

"Master..." Xie Ning looked at the sleeping Gu Chuchen. At this moment, this face that was very similar to Gu Lichen was close in front of him. He reached out to touch it but was afraid of waking up from this dream. This was a dream he had done for more than 200 years. Crazy dream.

Gu Chuchen on the bed turned over again, murmuring indistinctly, "Little Cub..."

Xie Ning suppressed the sobs in his throat, "...Master, I am here."

Xie Ning stayed by the bedside for a whole night. This night, Xie Ning didn't dare to close his eyes for a moment, as if the person in front of him would leave him once he closed his eyes, while Gu Chuchen murmured intermittently Looking at the past events that only Xie Zhanning and Gu Lichen knew, Xie Ning knew that the person in his heart who haunted him had really returned.

When Gu Chuchen woke up, Xie Ning was sitting beside him, with a smiling face far away, "Morning, Achen."

"Morning..." When Gu Chuchen opened his eyes, he saw Xie Ning's bright smile, his face couldn't help but squeeze out an arc, and he stammered, "I, I'll see off Bingyan and the others. "

Gu Chuchen walked out without saying a word, Xie Ning followed up and grabbed Gu Chuchen, saying, "I'll go with you."

Gu Chuchen raised his eyebrows, with a puzzled look on his face, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Ning shook Gu Chuchen's arm, as if acting coquettishly, "Ah Chen, just take me there."

Gu Chuchen felt pimples all over his body, and Xie Ning said again: "I still have something to say to that ghost girl Ulanduo." Xie Ning knew where Ulanduo came from and who he was, and he knew more about Ulanduo's identity. What kind of ghosts and monsters are behind Lan Duo? Now that Gu Chuchen is involved with these people, he has to be careful.

When the two of them left the room, Gu Chuchen said to Bai Yu who was buried in the kitchen: "Brother-in-law, we are going to see Bingyan off, please tell sister for me."

Bai Yu responded, "Okay, I will."

At the inn, Wen Bingyan, Wu Landuo, and Ah Yan were all getting ready to go. Wen Bingyan saw Gu Chuchen from a distance, waved and shouted: "Senior brother."

"Bingyan." Gu Chuchen
