The little fox does not want to hide the cub

The night was getting dark, and it was snowing intermittently in the sky.

There is only one place where there is no snow in the whiteness of the mountains, and it is a hot spring deep in the woods.

The temperature here is relatively high, and the falling snow is melted by the transpiration before it touches the ground.Most of Jiang Shen's body was soaked in the water, and the water vapor formed fine icicles in his hair.

He wiped his face and sighed heavily.

Li Ruan lay on a familiar spot on the shore, dejectedly, and said, "Stingy Jiang Shen."

Jiang Shen snorted coldly: "Why am I being stingy?"

"In order not to feed me, you actually hid in the water." Li Ruan complained tearfully, "There is no such thing as you."

Jiang Shen: "..."

It's not hiding, he just wants to take a bath and calm down.

Jiang Shen opened his mouth to explain, but he also thought about the comprehension ability of a certain little monster, and wondered if it was because of the nature of the fox monster, his extraordinary ability to learn some unscrupulous things, so he decided to let him know as little as possible.

Jiang Shen still knew about his body.

He extremely dislikes the arrogance, extravagance and lust of some of the royal family's children. He usually restrains himself and restores rituals, so he can be said to be pure-hearted and ascetic.

More than once, someone said that he was cold and indifferent, like an alien.

I don't know if it's a different kind, but Jiang Shen knows that it is absolutely impossible for him to be stepped on twice by this little guy... and become like this.

It can only be that there is something wrong with the medicine.

After asking, I found out that the little fox himself didn't know what kind of medicine A Xue was giving, he only said that it was a kind of tonic used by the people to restore yang energy.

It sounds so nice, isn't it...

Aphrodisiac.

Jiang Shen pressed the center of his brows, feeling a headache.

That big monster named A Xue doesn't seem to be a serious monster.

The little fox is still complaining miserably: "You have been sick during the day, I took care of you all day, and today you haven't eaten a bite of essence. You would rather hide in the water and waste it than give it to me have a bite."

"How can you be so stingy..."

The voice was crying, but no tears could be squeezed from the eyes.

Facts have proved that even a monster who has cultivated for hundreds of years will still be spoiled if he is spoiled.

Jiang Shen has never been principled when dealing with little foxes. In the past, as long as he was so aggrieved and howled a few words, Jiang Shen would have come to coax him long ago, and he can do whatever he wants.

Handle it firmly.

But today, Jiang Shen really didn't have the time to coax him.

I don't know where to find that medicine, the medicine is very effective, Jiang Shen soaked in the water for such a long time, it hasn't subsided at all.

On the contrary, there is a faint growth trend.

Could it be that... it can only be relieved?

Jiang Shen pursed his lower lip, and quietly glanced at the little fox beside him.

The little fox was probably tired from acting, and lay down beside the hot spring, rubbing his eyes with his little paws.Jiang Shen estimated the time, at this time in the past, they had already gone to bed.

"Little fox." Jiang Shen put on a calm look, "Go back to the cave first."

"Ah?" Li Ruan asked, "Why?"

Jiang Shen: "Aren't you tired?"

Li Ruan: "Well..."

He is a bit tired.

Changing back to human form for a short time this morning was a great drain on his body that hadn't yet recovered mana, and today Jiang Shen was ill, so he didn't dare to absorb essence from him.

It was just for fun, Jiang Shen just recovered from a serious illness, even if he really gave him essence, he would not eat it.

Li Ruan: "But..."

"It's okay." Jiang Shen's voice was a little hoarse. He had been like this for too long, and he couldn't bear it anymore, "I... I will finish my bath in a while, and I will go back to the cave on my own. You go first."

Li Ruan didn't know Jiang Shen's true intentions, he didn't have any twists and turns, and never doubted Jiang Shen's words.

He was just a little worried.

But he was really sleepy, the hot spring was too warm, if he didn't go back, he might really fall asleep here.

The little fox hesitated and hesitated, and turned around in three steps: "Then I'm leaving? I'm really leaving, huh? You won't faint and drown in the water, will you?"

"……Won't."

Jiang Shen almost used the greatest willpower in his life to restrain a certain instinct.

When the bright red color disappeared from his vision, he put his hand into the water with a touch of eagerness.

After a while, there was a sound of water in the forest.

The water vapor completely concealed his figure.

The next day, Li Ruan called the little tit to inform Jiang Shen of his intentions.

The little tit was originally unwilling to help, and the two sides negotiated for a long time. Finally, under the witness of Li Ruan, Jiang Shen added a sentence to the letter.

Let the pawnbroker prepare the most delicate and delicious food, and treat the little tits to a good meal.

Only then did a consensus be reached.

The pawnshop that Jiang Shen asked Titney to send the letter to was named "Guanghong", and it was the largest pawnshop in the east of the capital.Before Chickadee left, Jiang Shen deliberately wrote out these words and asked him to recognize them several times.

But it's not necessary at all.

Although the chickadee can't speak and can't read many words, it often goes to the capital.This pawn shop in Dongcheng is located in an extremely prosperous street corner, and it has some impressions.

It was still early when the chickadee flew to the capital.

There are few people on the street in the winter morning, but the breakfast stalls on the roadside have been set up one after another.

The aroma of food wafts through the streets and alleys, and a faint white smoke rises from the breakfast stand, which is the smoke and fire that Changming Mountain does not have.

The little tit came to the Guanghong pawn shop very quickly. It landed on the threshold and pecked at the door.

A buddy's voice came from inside the door: "Who, it hasn't opened yet, come back in an hour!"

The little tit continued: "Tuk tuk, tuk tuk."

"You don't understand people's language, do you—" the man cursed and opened the door, and the little tit flew in with fluttering wings and landed firmly on a table in the lobby.

With a kick from the little paw, he threw the letter with the white jade buckle on the table.

The guy was a boy in his teens, with a pretty baby face, he was taken aback when he saw this, and quickly closed the door of the pawn shop.

"What's the matter, the noise in the early morning." Someone lifted the curtain in the inner room.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper!" The clerk pointed to the tit, then pointed to the white jade buckle, "This little bird... this little bird sent this thing over."

The pawnshop shopkeeper's face changed, and he quickly walked over to pick up the white jade buckle, looked at it carefully for a while, and opened the letter again.

The guy lay on the table and poked the tit: "This little bird is really interesting, can it be used as a carrier pigeon?"

The tit was poked by him and slapped him with the tip of its wings in displeasure.

The shopkeeper of the pawnshop ignored them, he quickly read the letter twice, and carefully put it away: "It's the letter from the master, it will not open today, you and I will go out of the city."

The buddy said "Oh", and the two were about to leave when the little tit called out to them.

The shopkeeper suddenly realized, and ordered: "You go to the back kitchen to get some rice, and feed this little bird."

That's more or less.

The tit wasn't too polite, it flew directly to the boy's shoulder, and sat down comfortably.

You can eat.

Probably Jiang Shen's plan was quite effective. From that day on, there were no more strangers sneaking into Changming Mountain.At least Ah Xue didn't come to the door again, so there shouldn't be any.

Days are calm again.

About a month passed like this, and later that day, the little tit came to deliver another letter.

After sending the letter successfully for the first time, Jiang Shen discovered the usefulness of this little bird, and negotiated with it for long-term delivery.

The condition is that the pawn shop will build a nest for the tits, and prepare fresh water and food every day, so that the tits can have a full meal at any time.

The little tit did not migrate with the group this year, and it is hard to find food in the mountains. When it can't find food, it goes to the nearby mountain villages and cities to forage.

Occasionally, you can have a good meal with a small piece of paper in your hand. This is a good deal.

——The little tit originally thought so.

But who knows, Jiang Shen didn't send many letters, but the pawn shop asked him to bring back more and more letters.

With a small cloth bag in its mouth, the tit flew into the cave and let go. While the letters were scattered, it fell to the ground exhausted.

It lay on its back by the fire, its two little paws trembling: "Next time there will be so many... I won't go..."

This little tit couldn't speak human language, Jiang Shen couldn't understand its chirping, but he could roughly guess what it was talking about.He gave half of the roasted sweet potato to the tit, and lowered his voice: "Shhh, the little fox is sleeping, don't wake him up."

As he spoke, he glanced behind him.

The little fox rolled himself into a pompom and slept soundly on Jiang Shen's little bed.

As the weather gets colder day by day, the little fox sleeps longer and longer. If he doesn't get enough sleep, he will be sleepy all day long and doesn't like to go out very much.

Fortunately, they had already hoarded a lot of food in advance, and they would not encounter the danger of food shortage for the time being.

But Jiang Shen was still a little worried.

He had never heard of foxes hibernating before.

However, although the little fox slept for a long time, he was still energetic after a full sleep, and there were no other signs of illness, so Jiang Shen let him go.

The chickadee finished eating the roasted sweet potato, flapped its wings and flew away.

Jiang Shen began to organize the letters it brought.

It's not that the people at the pawn shop deliberately made things difficult for Tittade, it's just that Jiang Shen has been away for too long and there are too many backlogs.Today is an eventful season, the turmoil in the court, the disputes among the princes in the capital, and the changes in the fief princes, none of which Jiang Shen can let go of.

He could see that the people in the pawn shop had tried their best to simplify and simplify.

If it had been when he was still in the capital, the number of secret letters would have been at least three times higher than it is now.

"Has the tit come here?" The little fox's voice sounded behind him.

A warm and fluffy little guy posted it, Jiang Shen put down the letter and rubbed him: "Are you awake?"

"Still sleepy..." The little fox was so sleepy that he couldn't even walk straight. If Jiang Shen didn't hold him back, he would have gone into the fire.

Jiang Shen carried him into his arms, pinched the back of his neck: "Are you hungry?"

"Tired." The little fox buried his head in Jiang Shen's arms, "I want to eat some essence."

Jiang Shen: "Well, let's eat."

The little fox rubbed against Jiang Shen's arms twice, probably already started to absorb essence.Jiang Shen kneaded the back of his neck, touched his back, and asked in a low voice, "Is it because your mana hasn't recovered?"

"Maybe." Li Ruan said, "It was never like this before."

"...It's all your fault for refusing to double cultivate with me."

The little fox's voice was also tired, as if he was half asleep, and the ending was soft and vague.

"I……"

Of course Jiang Shen didn't want to see the little fox like this.

The little fox he knew should be lively and cute, always full of energy.

But now...

Just absorbing essence for him every day, is it really impossible to restore his strength?

Jiang Shen sighed silently.

His thoughts have not changed, it is one thing to be distressed, but another to double cultivation.No matter how distressed he is, it is impossible for him to agree to double cultivation with the little fox.

Man and fox, that's ridiculous.

Not to mention that he is a fox, even if this little fox can become a human...

Thinking of this, Jiang Shen suddenly paused.

If he could become human...

The little fox's voice is very clear, if he can turn into a human, he should be a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.Lovely smile, bright eyes, maybe a nice crimson, just like his prototype.

The little fox didn't move anymore, maybe he fell asleep again.Jiang Shen looked down at the little guy in his arms, and fantasized almost uncontrollably.

How tall will he be?It is definitely not as good as Jiang Shen, maybe it can only reach his shoulders.But those short and small limbs should be very slender after they have been transformed.The wrist is thin and white, and it can be held with one hand, but it seems that it will break with a little force.

But of course his little fox couldn't be so vulnerable.

Jiang Shen has seen little foxes fight, the strength contained in his small body is not weak at all, and he is very sensitive.When he ran, the clothes on his body flew with the wind, outlining his waist in the wind.

Jiang Shen suddenly woke up.

What was he thinking just now?

Jiang Shen's heart was beating fast, it was clearly the midwinter night, but his back was covered with hot sweat.

He raised his hand to press his chest, feeling the restless heart under the texture.

This is probably the first time he has felt such intense restlessness in his more than 20 years of life.

And all of this is just from his far-fetched fantasy.

Jiang Shen took a deep breath, letting his heartbeat slowly calm down.

The little fox was still asleep in his arms, Jiang Shen calmed down, pinched the little fox's ears as punishment.

"It's all your fault." Jiang Shen said in a low voice, "Crying out for double cultivation every day has made me abnormal. Disturbing people's mood, bad fox."

The little fox shook his ears, ignorant and sleeping peacefully.

After this encounter, Jiang Shen was not in the mood to read any more letters.He carried the little fox back to his nest and lay down on the bed.

The fire was left unattended, the fire gradually weakened, and the cave was completely dark.

Jiang Shen tossed and turned in the dark.

Can't sleep.

Once something appears, even if it is just a thought, it is like a tiny seed, planted, and begins to take root secretly in the bottom of my heart.

Jiang Shen turned his head and looked at the small nest next to him by the faint light of the fire.The little fox was only a fuzzy round shadow in the darkness, and he slept soundly, even snoring lightly.

It can be said to be very heartless.

Jiang Shen turned over again, the dry grass under him rustled.

This noise continued for a long time, and finally, Jiang Shen turned over and sat up.

He wiped his face, got up and put on his outer robe, and walked outside the cave.

On this day, Jiang Shen sat outside the cave all night.
