food protection

Lu Jin doesn't know what the law of time loss in this world is, sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's very slow.

She always wanted to leave, but Shino didn't have any exit.

While thinking about the safety of Chaoci in reality, at the same time wanting to know what will happen next to "myself" and Chaoci.

If she had thought that the world she was in now might be an illusion trying to trick her, then when she saw the little rabbit demon who looked exactly like her, holding the bouquet of buttercups in front of Chaoci At that time, she was sure that everything she saw was the memory of Chaoci.

That bouquet of pink ranunculus, as if traveling through time and space, has been preserved by Chaoci until now, appearing in her home and in front of Lu Jin.

Even though Chaoci still dislikes the bouquet of buttercups at this moment, and keeps saying that flowers are too hypocritical, Lu Jin can't help laughing when he thinks that it will occupy all corners of Chaoci's private house later.

He obviously likes it very much, but the big fox is really duplicity.

Lu Jin observed Chaoci carefully. The little rabbit demon said that she would help decorate the room, but she spoke coldly, but she didn't really object.

Chaoci basically didn't pay much attention to this little rabbit demon who descended from the sky with unknown origin, but the little rabbit demon already regarded this place as his home.

Even in the days when Chaoci was away, she did not relax her demands on herself.She picked the fresh and tender flowers and plants carefully selected by her and carefully raised them in the cave, inlaid the colorful pebbles from the river on the wall, and added more torches to brighten the room.Even the hard and cold stone bed was covered with a thick layer of grass, soft and warm.

That day Chaoci came back with a wild boar, just walked to the door of the room, and saw this dreamy little bedroom full of girlishness in front of him, and was stunned for a moment, unable to believe his eyes...

"Little stinky rabbit." Chao Ci pinched the back of her neck and carried her over, and asked her fiercely, "Why do you make my house like this?"

Although Chaoci was still very fierce, but facing her fierceness again, the little rabbit demon only shrank his shoulders a little, and was not as scared as before, and asked with his big eyes blinking: "Don't you like it?"

"How can I like these colorful things"

"But... I think they look like you." The little rabbit demon's eyes fell on those pink ranunculus. The flowers that are quietly blooming are delicate and elegant, and they also exude a pleasant fragrance.

Chao Ci was puzzled: "How can something like me that shatters and withers in a few days, be like me?"

"But they are very beautiful, as beautiful as you." The little rabbit demon praised heartlessly, and leaned forward, rubbing the tip of his nose from her chest, up, and stopped on her neck, "and , you smell good too."

Chaoci: "..."

Speechless for a while.

The little rabbit demon is diligently decorating her "new home", hoping that every detail here is neat and delicate, and it is best to be soft and fragrant.

Chaoci felt that he was surrounded by countless pink bubbles every day, and the whole fox cave became so beautiful and cute that it was not good.

The little rabbit demon is not very good at cooking, and even less good at cooking meat, but she has been working hard to learn, so that Chao Ci can eat delicious meals.

"No need." Chao Ci didn't care, "It's not just to fill my stomach, I can eat raw."

"How can you eat raw ones!" the little rabbit demon protested with a spoon in his hand, "It's so terrible to be bleeding suddenly! If you don't eat well, you'll have diarrhea! If you poop soft, you'll even get sick!"

Chaoci looked at her helplessly: "Who is as fragile as you little grass-eating monster? I'm a meat eater. And..."

She was going to say "soft poo", which is silly and stinky.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was inexplicably cute, so I didn't say anything.

Because of this cuteness, Chao Ci is in a good mood all day long.

This little rabbit monster didn't know if she had lost her memory by the way, and praised her for being beautiful and fragrant all day long.

Chao Ci ignored her at all, and she could still talk happily to herself for most of the day.

The little rabbit demon was tossing around at home, while Chaoci went to the alfalfa garden and picked a large handful of the tenderest alfalfa grass to dry.

The roasted alfalfa grass can remove the hallucinogenic effect, and it can also protect the fragile stomach of the little stinky rabbit, preventing it from making loose stools.

Spread the delicate alfalfa spirit grass on the simple "stove" made of stone, and shake Chaoci's fingertips. When he was about to start the fire, he suddenly realized that he was full of thoughts and thoughts about the bunny. Thinking of her, he couldn't help it. laughed.

She actually felt a tinge of happiness.

She also wanted to be nice to that little rabbit monster.

A similar feeling seemed to have come to her a long time ago.

The smile slowly disappeared from the face, and the flame became more and more dimmer, and finally disappeared with the afterglow of the setting sun, and even her figure merged into the night.

Lu Jin had been with her all the time, and Chaoci had no intention of going back when it was dark, so he followed her into the deepest part of the night.

She has something on her mind.

Lu Jin accompanied her from night to dawn, very tired, but Chaoci didn't stop, and Lu Jin didn't want to stop either.

After walking all night, I returned to the original point.

Chao Ci sat on the ridge beside the alfalfa garden in a daze, staring at the rising sun expressionlessly.

Lu Jin noticed it, and she kept walking around the alfalfa garden.

For so long, she never left this place.

It was as if someone had drawn a circle and trapped her here, and she couldn't get out and no one came in.

No wonder she is so interested in the origin of the little rabbit demon.

There was a change in the sky, Lu Jin saw it was another illusion.

The illusion soon lingered around Lu Jin and Chaoci, and the scene changed completely in an instant, and Lu Jin entered Chaoci's childhood memories.

……

Before the little rabbit demon was talking nonsense, Chaoci had indeed heard her fellow clansmen talk about her appearance, even though it was the customary appearance of the fox clan, but she knew that she was still somewhat different from the clansmen.

Ever since she became enlightened, she knew that the tribe didn't like her, and even feared her, because she was born in the nine-tailed fox tribe, but only had one tail.

Every fox king of the fox family is a nine-tailed fox. Every time a fox king is reincarnated and born in Qingqiu, there will be a nine-tailed fox in Qingqiu country.

The number of tails is a symbol of mana.

It has been 1 years since the last fox king passed away, and there has been no more nine-tailed foxes, and all the children born in Qingqiu are three-tailed foxes.

The nine-tailed fox is a god fox and their patron saint.

Without the protection of the god fox, the fox clan gradually declined, and could no longer be as prosperous as before.Needless to say the other realms of the Four Realms, just talking about the monster world where the weak can eat the strong, there are also many monster clans who are eyeing them.

The fox clan is surrounded by other increasingly powerful monster clans, and the patriarch wants to quickly give birth to an heir who can support the whole clan.

When the patriarch was pregnant again, the entire Qingqiu held a month-long ritual of worshiping the gods, spending a lot of money and energy all night long praying for the guardian god to come to the world, hoping to bring down the nine-tailed fox king and save the endangered fox clan.

Chaoci was born in an atmosphere of great anticipation and extreme tension.

It's a pity that she is not a nine-tailed one, but a single-tailed one.

Single tail!

A single tail is an extremely unknown thing, and the birth of Chaoci may herald the death of the fox clan!

Because of the appearance of this one-tailed little princess, the entire Qingqiu was filled with extreme panic.In order to appease the subjects, the patriarch had no choice but to send his daughter away.

Chaoci, this ominous single-tailed little fox was sent by the mother clan to the most remote alfalfa field in Qingqiu country, and a barrier was set up to prevent her from coming out.

Only one old slave took care of her.

Lu Jin stood in the barren clover field many years ago, watching a little fiery red milk fox jumping up and down from a distance.

Its limbs are short and fat, it jumps up and down, its body is covered with lanugo hair, its tail is thick and short, and there is a layer of black lanugo on the tips of its ears and limbs that has not yet begun to change.

This is...Miss Chao when I was a child

Lu Jin was struck by the cuteness of the little milk fox, and squatted down to hug it.

But the little milk fox passed through her body with a "swish" and didn't catch it at all.

Lu Jin looked back, and the little milk fox transformed into a five or six-year-old, very smart and beautiful girl.

The little girl smiled in her direction and rolled her eyes when she smiled.

It was Miss Chao when she was a child!exactly the same!

Lu Jin's heart was almost melted by Xiao Chaoci.

How can you look so cute!Lu Jin really wanted to pick her up and rub her hard, but he couldn't touch her no matter what, he was really pissed off.

Miss this opportunity and never again!

"Hurry up, take it slow!" Although Xiao Chaoci yelled like this, he stopped by himself, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and waited for the old slave with inconvenient legs and feet.

The old slave chased her and was panting: "Little princess, please slow down... I, I really can't run anymore."

Chaoci smiled and jumped back, took the old slave's hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't run away. I'll walk with you!"

After all, the old slave was diligent, and was isolated by the tribe together with the little princess, and did not expect to go back. Seeing how pitiful this little fellow was abandoned by the tribe, he took care of her while he had nothing to do to teach her to read and write, and took her to enlightenment. , and also reclaimed the alfalfa garden by himself, making this wild land full of vitality.

She wanted to call the old slave "A Niang", but the old slave was frightened, and immediately explained: "I am not the mother of the little princess, I am just a servant! Little princess, please don't call me that."

"Oh..." Seeing her panicked look, Chao Ci knew that he had caused her trouble.

She didn't want to cause trouble to anyone, and she didn't say the word "A Niang" anymore, but she didn't just treat the old slave as a servant.

Whether it is the freshest dew, the most delicious meat or the warmest clothes, she will give them to the old slave immediately, and she will show a satisfied smile when the old slave is full and warm.

The old slave is the person that Chaoci cares most about in this world.

The old slave was born with a disability and lacked one eye. She was ugly and never married. In the past, she was often looked down upon by others in the clan, but Xiao Chaoci did not despise her at all. He liked her sincerely and treated her well.

The old slave had never felt such warmth in his life. Even though he was trapped in the barrier and couldn't leave, he was still happy and satisfied in the days when he and Chaoci depended on each other.

The old slave soon discovered that the little princess was extremely talented. When the little fox of the same age of the fox tribe was still around his parents and couldn't even forage, Chaoci was already able to change his shape freely, and the mountains fell apart with the snap of his fingers.

She once saw with her own eyes that Chaoci's palms were filled with fire, and when she stirred it gently, the entire lake was evaporated by her, and even the fish in the lake were all roasted, and the mouth was full of aroma.

The old slave has lived for thousands of years and has seen countless little foxes in Qingqiu, none of them can be compared with the little princess.

Is the one-tailed fox really a bad omen?

The old slave was somewhat confused, but there was no one to say anything, and he dared not say anything.

Soon, Lao Nu's health deteriorated, she knew that she was too old, it was already a miracle that an ordinary disabled fox could live to such a great age.

"I'm going to die, little princess." The old slave was lying on the bed, with sunken eye sockets, ears hanging listlessly, and a bluish-white face that was lifeless, and the only remaining emotion was deep worry, "Are you still worried?" You are so young, what will you do when I leave and who can take care of you?"

"What is death?" Chao Ci is too small and too simple, and he doesn't understand many things.

"Death is...to leave you forever. Let's never see each other again."

Hearing the old slave's words, Chaoci immediately panicked. She held the old slave's wrinkled hand, which was almost covered with skin, and said anxiously, "I don't want you to die!"

The old slave looked at her with a wry smile, laughing at her naivety: "It is impossible for everything in this world to live forever. I am a speck of dust, and there will always be a day when dust returns to dust. But little princess, you have to look forward, Your life is still long."

"Can I give you my life?" Chaoci was too young at that time, so young that he didn't know the laws of this world at all, and the words he said were absurd and cute, but they made people feel sad, "I want you to live."

The old slave didn't have the strength to speak anymore, not even the strength to cough.

Once again, no one could give Chaoci the answer she wanted.

Chaoci wept miserably, reluctant to part: "Don't leave me..."

The old slave shed tears along with her, stroking her immature and smooth face with his old hands: "Little princess...live well."

The old slave was about to die, Chaoci went crazy and wanted to break through the barrier, and went outside to help her find a doctor.

Lu Jin saw with his own eyes that she released a huge flame in the night sky, lighting up the entire night sky.But she was still too small, too weak, covered in scars, and still unable to break through the barrier.

Chaoci hated himself for being helpless, so he could only go back to the old slave's body and cry bitterly.

In the end, no matter how reluctant Chao Ci was, he had no choice but to bury the old slave.

The old slave left, and the alfalfa garden was deserted again.

Chaoci himself grew up alone in the mountains, watching the sunrise and sunset, and the lonely lights and birds.

No one talked to her, and no one told her why she was so lonely.

……

The red clouds in the sky were stained with a little haze, just like Chao Ci's mood at the moment.

Lu Jin sat beside her, just accompanied her so quietly, looked at her memory, experienced her childhood without human voice, and kept talking to herself but still the dead night.

When she was scared, when she was helpless, when she wanted to leave this place but was trapped by a flammable barrier... She didn't know what she was going through, and why she had to bear all this.

That is the most common emotion in Chaoci, and it is also the cold yesterday engraved in the depths of the soul.

Lu Jin accompanied Chaoci to watch countless sunrises and dusks, birds flying across the sky, and the world's mulberry fields changing several times, but the two of them were still in place.

Looking at it, Lu Jin didn't notice when the tears fell all over his cheeks.
