The little fox does not want to hide the cub

Jiang Shen and Li Ruan stayed in the palace for almost two months.

It was almost the same as Jiang Shen's guess. Since the Su family was confiscated by the court, it didn't take long for the capital to become turbulent.

The cause of the incident was the mysterious death of a foreign businessman in the capital.

The relationship between this dynasty and foreign countries has not been very good in the past two years. Last year, there was even a small conflict in the eastern coastal area.The friction between countries does not affect the people's trade, but a businessman died in the capital, and the cause of death is unknown. This matter can be big or small.

The Holy One immediately sent someone to investigate the matter, but after such an investigation, it was found that this person was actually a spy.In the name of a merchant, he secretly sent many confidential information back to China.

The Holy One was furious.

Externally, the strength of foreign countries is far lower than that of this dynasty. If there is a direct conflict, the other party will hardly be able to please.As soon as this incident happened, no country immediately sent envoys to Beijing to try to stabilize the situation.Internally, the foreign businessman has lived in the capital for more than three years. During these three years, who is passing the news to him, and who is secretly protecting him.

For a moment, everyone who had close contacts with this businessman was implicated, and all parties were overwhelmed.

Those big aristocratic families in the capital are also impressively listed.

This matter has not yet been investigated, and it is just a talking point among the common people, but to those wealthy businessmen who have been implicated, it is like a cold light on their backs, and they cannot sleep or eat.

How things will develop, no one can guess.

However, no matter how turbulent the situation in the capital is, it has nothing to do with Jiang Shen and Li Ruan.

Emperor Chongxuan didn't have time to take care of them for the time being, the two were happy to be at leisure, not to mention how comfortable they were in the palace.If you have had enough fun in the palace, you can go for a stroll around, and if you can walk around the same, you can go a little further.

If it wasn't for Li Ruan's nausea after sitting in the carriage for too long now, Jiang Shen even wanted to take him to the south to enjoy the scenery of the water town.

Two months later, Li Ruan's lower abdomen finally bulged a little, but it was still not very obvious.

His figure is too thin, his outline is almost invisible in clothes, and his waist is still slender.Only when you touch it with your hand can you feel a hard object like a small meat ball under the thin and soft skin.

Soft and bouncy, feels great.

It was a sunny day, and Jiang Shen took Li Ruan on horseback on the mountain path.

They came out in a carriage today, because Jiang Shen heard that there was a Peach Blossom Valley not far from the capital, and planned to take Li Ruan to see it.Unfortunately, just halfway through, Li Ruan felt a little nauseous again.

Jiang Shen simply asked his subordinates to drive the carriage back to the palace, and carried Li Ruan onto the horse by himself.

I don't care if I can go to the Peach Blossom Valley today, so I just let Li Ruan enjoy the cool breeze.

The two of them rode on the same horse and staggered along the official road. Li Ruan nestled in Jiang Shen's arms and soon fell asleep.Jiang Shen hugged him with one hand, and put his other hand on his lower abdomen, stroking him gently.

Li Ruan insisted on abstinence, and the time for double cultivation has become less recently, but he has found a new hobby, which is to let Jiang Shen touch his belly.

Every night, he has to touch it to sleep peacefully. It is also called prenatal education for fox cubs.

Jiang Shen hadn't heard of any prenatal education that started at less than three months old.

The road on the official road was smooth, Jiang Shen let the horse go forward by itself.But when he walked into a forest, the horse's hooves suddenly stopped, stomped on the spot a few times, and then stopped.

Jiang Shen frowned, and looked up.

The woods looked familiar, but Jiang Shen had left Beijing many times over the years, and he took this road every time, so it was normal for him to be familiar, so he didn't think about it for a while.He tugged on the rein, but instead of moving forward, the horse backed up a few steps and snorted a few times.

He looked a little scared.

fear?

Jiang Shen looked at this place again.

This forest is indeed part of the official road, but it is a fork in the official road.Usually, cars and horses travel on another wider and more stable road outside the woods.

If you continue down this path...

Jiang Shen's eyes sank.

How did they get here.

The horse under him made such a fuss, but woke up Li Ruan who had been sleeping all the way.He was still a little sleepy, and he rubbed against Jiang Shen's arms without opening his eyes.

"Have we arrived yet?" Li Ruan asked in a daze.

Jiang Shen responded, "Not yet, but..."

It wasn't often that he hesitated like this.Li Ruan rubbed his eyes, raised his head to look at him suspiciously, then straightened up and looked around.

"Huh?" Li Ruan was stunned for a moment, as if he woke up instantly, "How did we get here?!"

Jiang Shen asked, "Do you know where this is?"

Li Ruan: "Of course I know."

Continuing on this road, you will encounter a more secluded uphill path on the side of the road.Going a little further along the path is Changming Mountain.

And this forest...is the place where Li Ruan sent Jiang Shen away and crushed his memory beads.

Li Ruan pursed her lower lip, suddenly recalling those unpleasant memories before.

He didn't speak for a while, Jiang Shen was also silent for a while, and then said: "Little fox, I never told you that I met someone before."

Li Ruan instantly put his thoughts behind him and asked, "Who is it?"

"A tribute student." Jiang Shen said, "When I presided over Chunwei before, I named him the number one scholar."

Li Ruan looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.

"He later told me that at the moment he saw me, a brand new memory suddenly appeared in his mind." Jiang Shen said, "In that memory, there is me."

Li Ruan blinked and guessed who it was.

The scholar they rescued in Changming Mountain earlier, at that time, Ashe cast a spell to tamper with the memory of the scholar.But that kind of tampering is only temporary. Once you see a familiar scene or meet a familiar person again, the memory will be revived.

At that time, Li Ruan thought that they would never see each other again, so she didn't take this matter to heart.

"So..." Li Ruan opened his eyes wide, "So you already knew I was from Changming Mountain?"

"Yes." Jiang Shen said truthfully, "But I don't care where you come from."

The folks regard Changming Mountain as a forbidden place. It is rumored that there are evil spirits living in the mountain, who cannot easily set foot on it.But Jiang Shen didn't care about these things.Whether the mountain can be entered or whether there are demons has nothing to do with him, as long as the little fox is by his side is enough.

Li Ruan was coaxed to be happy by his words, and raised her head to kiss Jiang Shen.

Before he could shrink back, Jiang Shen raised his chin again and kissed him carefully.Then, Jiang Shen pulled the rein hard, but this time he turned the horse's head around.

"Eh?" Li Ruan grabbed his sleeve, "Are we leaving?"

Jiang Shen asked back, "You don't want to go?"

Li Ruan: "?"

Jiang Shen: "?"

Jiang Shen originally thought that Li Ruan should be very reluctant to step here.

Yaozu cannot fall in love with people. Although it is now confirmed that the pregnancy is not a fantasy of the little fox, it is true that Jiang Shen's memory was erased.There must be someone in this mountain who doesn't want them to be together.

The fact that the little fox is now allowed to come to the world may be related to the fetus in his womb.But even if the Yaozu agreed with the little fox to go to the mortal world, Jiang Shen didn't really want to come back here because of the experience of being wiped out of his memory.

What if something went wrong and he forgot about the little fox again?

Li Ruan didn't know his thoughts, but said: "We finally came back, don't you want to go and see where we lived before? Didn't you always want to know what happened in those few months?"

Although, they don't seem to have had anything frightening.

The days in the mountains are so boring that even outsiders can't see them.In addition to looking for food every day, Li Ruan and Jiang Shen fought wits and bravery, trying to persuade him to double cultivation with themselves.

Day after day, almost all those months came like this.

On the contrary, during the time in the palace, the things I encountered were much richer.

Therefore, sometimes Li Ruan wanted to tell Jiang Shen what happened to them before, but he felt unable to talk about it.

Because there really is nothing special about it.

"I want to know, but..." Jiang Shen hesitated.

He was somewhat resistant to this place, but when he saw the little fox's attitude, he felt that he was too nervous.Could it be that Changming Mountain doesn't reject mortals so much?Or, after the little fox became pregnant, Jiang Shen was also accepted?

Jiang Shen lowered his head, and met the little fox's clear and puzzled eyes.

The little fox wants to go back.

Yes, he almost forgot that no matter how unpleasant things had happened here, this place was still the little fox's home.

The little fox must have wanted to go home after being away from home for so long.

He couldn't stop the little fox from going home because he was worried about unknown dangers.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shen felt relieved: "Let's go, I will accompany you back."

No matter what attitude this demon clan will have towards him, as long as the little fox thinks, he is willing to accompany him.

As for the others, let the soldiers come and cover them with water and soil.

The horse they rode probably had some spirituality, and they refused to go to Changming Mountain.Jiang Shen had no choice but to find a grassland, tie his horse, and walk up the mountain with Li Ruan.

The road up the mountain is not easy, Li Ruan is now heavier than before, and feels tired after walking for a long time.

Jiang Shen carried him up the mountain.

After walking for about an hour, I finally came to a relatively flat halfway up the mountain.

Li Ruan patted him on the shoulder suddenly, jumped off his back: "We are here."

He pointed to the mountain in front of him and said, "That's right here, the scholar you mentioned, that's where we met."

Jiang Shen raised his eyes and looked over.

It was still early in the morning when they set off from the palace, and halfway through the carriage, they changed horses and then walked again, and it was already afternoon when they arrived.The halfway up the mountain of Changming Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the mountains in the distance seem to be in the sea of ​​clouds, which is so beautiful.

Nearby, there are also some clouds and mist shrouded in the woods, which is vaguely familiar.

He had indeed been to this place.

The moment this cognition appeared in his mind, the scenes in front of him seemed to be broken into fragments, forming a past scene in his mind.Jiang Shen followed that vague memory and continued to walk forward, and came to a tree.

He looked up at the tree.

There was nothing on the tree now, but he seemed to see the young man who couldn't even hide his ears and tail, sitting on the treetop covered with falling snow, swinging his bare feet around.

——"If you want to go down the mountain, you can go through this mountain path."

——"Do you want to go?"

"Jiang Shen!" A clear voice sounded behind Jiang Shen, pulling him out of his memory suddenly.

Li Ruan went around to him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I..." Jiang Shen suddenly came back to his senses, his expression was a little confused, "I seem to... remember something."

Li Ruan blinked in surprise.

"What do you remember?" Li Ruan asked.

Jiang Shen's memory is still not very clear, he tried to remember, and slowly said: "We came here before, it was winter, you sat on the tree, what did you say to me, and then..."

——"I also want to know, what should I do to make you, a stupid fox... like me more."

——"You don't like it enough."

——"I hope you can like me more, can you?"

Jiang Shen remembered something again and remained silent.

How could he be like this in the past... I don't know what is good or bad.

Little Fox doesn't like him?

It is obvious that I like it very much.

"What happened later, you continue to talk?"

Li Ruan was still looking at him without turning his eyes.He squeezed between Jiang Shen and the tree trunk, because he was much shorter than Jiang Shen, so he had to raise his head to look at each other at such a close distance.

The posture of the two of them was almost the same as the previous one.

Jiang Shen raised his hand to support the tree trunk, and wrapped the boy in his arms.

"Then..." He lowered his head, quickly touched Li Ruan's lips, with a smile in his eyes, "That's it, right?"

Li Ruan was surprised: "You really remembered?"

"Not much." Jiang Shen said, "Maybe if we go a little further in, we can remember more things."

Li Ruan fell silent.

The spell he cast on Jiang Shen at the beginning was to extract all his memories about himself, and then destroy them.

Normally, he wouldn't remember it.

It was also because she felt that he would not remember, so Li Ruan took him here with confidence, and wanted to show him where they lived before.

But Jiang Shen remembered now.

Will he also remember that Li Ruan approached him because he wanted to ascend.It was also for the sake of cultivating well that his memory would be erased.

He hasn't figured out how to choose yet, and he seems to be unable to hide it.

Jiang Shen said again: "Didn't you want to take me to see our previous residence? Let's go, maybe we can think of something else?"

As he said, he took Li Ruan and wanted to continue walking into the mountains.

The latter grabbed him.

"Jiang...Jiang Shen, I have something to tell you." Li Ruan said.

Jiang Shen: "What?"

Li Ruan's eyes dodged a little: "That's...that is, your memory has been erased, and I actually know what's going on."

He looked a little hesitant, lowered his head, not daring to look at Jiang Shen.

Jiang Shen laughed: "I guessed it."

"Do you think I'm so stupid?" He rubbed Li Ruan's head and said, "If it's normal amnesia, how can it be so good? I didn't forget anything in those three months, except for things related to you. .”

Li Ruan raised her head in surprise: "So, so you know? Then you...then you are not angry with me, are you?"

"Why should I be angry?"

Jiang Shen was a little puzzled, but didn't think too much: "You can't help yourself, how could I blame you."

Seeing that Jiang Shen didn't blame him at all, and didn't mean to argue with him, Li Ruan was relieved, but felt a little guilty: "Actually, I can't say that, I..."

His voice suddenly paused.

Li Ruan turned around and looked somewhere behind them, and shouted: "Axue!"

"Axue?" Jiang Shen remembered this name, and Li Ruan mentioned it many times in front of him.

He followed Li Ruan's gaze, and a plain white figure walked out from the depths of the forest.The man was still some distance away from them, and the forest was shrouded in clouds and fog, making it impossible to see his true face clearly.But coming from a distance, it gives people an indescribable sense of distance.

This is the unique deterrent power of a great demon who has cultivated for thousands of years.

Alarm bells rang out in Jiang Shen's heart.

Is it the elder of Li Ruan's monster clan?

His memory...will it be erased by this person?

The figure quickly turned from far to near. Compared with Jiang Shen's nervousness, Li Ruan seemed much more relaxed.

He broke away from Jiang Shen's hand and walked up: "Axue, why are you here?"

"I feel a certain little fox coming back to the mountain, so come and have a look." Lin Jianxue looked him up and down, and chuckled, "Not bad, he looks better than before, even the little guy in his stomach is so energetic. The monster clan nourished by the essence is just different, it's really enviable..."

In the past, Li Ruan would not have cared about such jokes.But after hearing this today, I felt a little happy and a little embarrassed.He smiled silly and didn't say anything.

"Going to the mortal world, why are you more stupid than before." Lin Jianxue said, "It seems that I didn't worry about it before, he protected you very well."

As he spoke, he tilted his head and glanced at the man standing not far behind them.

Jiang Shen stepped forward and bowed to Lin Jianxue: "Senior, I've heard you famous for a long time."

There was nothing wrong with his demeanor, which could not be faulted, but he was restrained.

Lin Jianxue frowned, looked down at herself, and asked Li Ruan, "Do I look scary?"

Li Ruan: "Isn't it scary?"

"Then why is your family so afraid of me?" Lin Jianxue thought for a while, and then suddenly said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that I will take Ruan Ruan back to practice and not let you go down the mountain together?"

Jiang Shen's eyes darkened.

Lin Jianxue half-jokingly said: "Speaking of which, Ruan Ruan has enough spiritual power now, and with my help, it will definitely be no problem to give birth to this little fox cub. It seems that she really doesn't have to go back to the mortal world."

Li Ruan was displeased: "Axue, you..."

"Senior, forgive me for not agreeing with the younger generation." Jiang Shen said in a deep voice, "The younger generation and the little fox really love each other, if you insist on keeping him in Changming Mountain, it will not do him any good, nor will it do any good to the fetus in the womb .”

Li Ruan didn't realize there was anything wrong with his words, and nodded vigorously: "That's right."

"So, I won't let the little fox stay here alone. No matter what price I have to pay for it, I am willing." Jiang Shen said, "Senior, please don't tear us apart."

Li Ruan continued to nod: "That's right."

Lin Jianxue: "..."

Lin Jianxue pressed the center of her eyebrows, then turned to Li Ruan and asked, "When you erased his memory, did you also destroy his brain?"
