The little fox does not want to hide the cub

What Titmouse found was the personal token of Jiang Shen's personal guard, called the Silver Talisman.

As the current prince's personal guard, this silver talisman is a status symbol, and he must not leave his body unless he dies.

Those personal guards who followed Jiang Shen were all trained by Jiang Shen himself, and they followed him for more than ten years at the shortest.

Jiang Shen held the silver talisman and didn't speak for a while.

Li Ruan didn't speak, he squatted beside Jiang Shen's feet with his tail in his arms, stroking his tail with his paws, silently comforting the fluff that exploded.

Originally, Li Ruan pretended to be an ordinary fox, just to not scare this mortal, not because he was afraid of being discovered by him.But after getting along for a few days, he pretended to be a fox so much that he had completely forgotten the original reason.

That's why I was so guilty when I was caught just now.

I was so scared that my hair exploded.

No prospects.

Li Ruan taught in his heart while stroking the fried hair's tail.

but……

This mortal found out that he could speak, so he didn't look scared at all.

Didn't you faint from fright last time?

Li Ruan looked up curiously at the man in front of him, and the man said at this moment: "Little fox, can you do me another favor?"

Li Ruan pretended not to speak in front of Jiang Shen for the past few days, subconsciously wanted to wag her tail when she heard the words, and then remembered that she had been exposed, so she stammered: "Yes... yes."

His voice is clearer than that of ordinary men, and the ending is a bit soft.

It was indeed the voice Jiang Shen heard before he fainted that day.

Jiang Shen's tone was light: "There should be sixteen more of the same silver talisman, and they are on the corpse in the mountain right now. These 17 people died because of me, and I can't bury them for the time being, I want to set up a tomb for them. "

"But I have trouble moving now, can you help me run and get these silver charms back?"

Not only is he not afraid, but he also wants to command the fox to do things.

Li Ruan flicked his tail back, and was about to discuss the conditions with the man, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the man's pale face, and his slightly lowered eyes, so dark that it was hard to see clearly.

It was the first time he saw a man showing such an expression.

After getting along these few days, the man's temper has always been very good.He always has a smile when talking to him, and he never gets angry when he robs him of food.

But now, he felt that the man seemed angry.

Not only angry, but also a little... sad?

Li Ruan's eyes fell on the small iron piece in the man's hand.

This thing is very important to him, right?

The words that came to his mouth suddenly couldn't come out, Li Ruan wagged his tail and nodded: "Okay, I'll just help you."

Li Ruan took the tit to lead the way and went to the place where it found the corpse.

When he arrived, he realized that it was a forest to the west of Changming Mountain.Up through the woods is the summit of the canyon where he lives.

Jiang Shen probably fell off the cliff from there before landing in front of his cave.

After a heavy snowfall, there were not many traces of fighting in the woods, only the dozens of dead bodies showed how cruel and fierce battles had been experienced here.

"Li Ruan, I found another piece!" The chickadee had already come here once, and it found it very quickly.But when it turned back with the silver amulet in its mouth, it saw the little fox stretch out its paws and pat a frozen corpse.

The tit flew over: "What are you doing?"

"In this way, they have my smell on them." Li Ruan said, "Those animals should not dare to eat them when they smell my smell."

There is very little food in Changming Mountain in winter. If these corpses are placed here, they will be eaten by animals in the mountain in a short time.

Although he was beaten back to his original form, the old deterrence was still there, more than enough to deter a few small animals.

Li Ruan lived for many years, and he didn't feel much about the passing of his life, but that mortal should be sad, otherwise he wouldn't have shown such an expression.

If you help, then help to the end.

Where in this world can one find a more heart-warming savior than him, and it would be hard for a mortal to justify it without a promise of his body.

Li Ruan thought about this, and said to Titmouse: "Look for it quickly, and I invite you to eat the fruit when you're done."

Titmouse: "Yeah!"

The corpses in the woods include not only Jiang Shen's personal guards, but also the thief who ambushed him that day.Even with the titmouse's help, it would not be so easy to find the full silver amulet among so many corpses.

The little fox went for a longer time than before, but when he came back, he brought more than just the silver amulet.

Jiang Shen watched the little fox put the sixteen silver talismans in his hand, and flapped his front paws, trying to remove the burden on his back.

The burden was almost as big as the little fox's body, and I don't know how much effort it took to carry it, just carrying it was very difficult.Jiang Shen reached out to help him, and took off the burden.

"This is……"

"I picked it up in the woods." Li Ruan shook the messed up fluff and said proudly, "I don't have any mortal clothes here, so I just picked some up, I think you can use them."

Jiang Shen asked him again: "Why did you choose this?"

They came from the south of the Yangtze River, and they all carried their luggage. If the little fox just wanted to get some clothes and supplies, he would not have to worry about it.

Li Ruan said: "Because this material is the most beautiful."

The other burdens are mostly made of cotton and linen, looking dusty.Only this one is made of thick material, the black fabric is embroidered with dark patterns, it is very beautiful in the sun, Li Ruan immediately fell in love with it.

"The latest brocade weaving in Jiangnan Weaving Workshop this year, you have a good eye." Jiang Shen said, "This is mine."

Li Ruan blinked in surprise.

This is too coincidental.

It's not necessarily a coincidence, Jiang Shen, as the crown prince, has very affordable food and clothing.The little fox deliberately picks the best, and it's only normal to pick him.

Jiang Shen opened the bag, and inside were several sets of neatly folded clothes, a set of pens and ink, and a few books.

He traveled back to Beijing with a light pack and didn't bring anything, but now that he is in such a situation, these things are very useful.

Jiang Shen rummaged for a while, and found a delicate dagger from the bottom of the clothes.

This dagger was given to him by an uncle who treated him well when he was young.It is said that this thing has been blessed by a certain eminent monk, it can cut iron like mud, and eliminate evil spirits.

——According to the rumors in the market, the monster race cultivates the body of immortality, and ordinary mortal weapons cannot get close to it, and only specific weapons can remove it.

This should be the reason why the emperor's uncle gave him this object for self-defense.

Jiang Shen never believed in ghosts and gods before, so he didn't take these things seriously. He kept this thing just to comfort his old friend after a long absence.

As for now...

He looked up at the little fox in front of him.

The little fox didn't pay any attention to what he was doing.

It was probably because he was helping Jiang Shen with things all morning, so he didn't have time to eat.After the little fox handed over the silver talisman and bundle to Jiang Shen, he immediately ran to the small package containing the fruit, digging and digging with one paw, and was eating the fruit from it.

Jiang Shen shook his head with a smile, and put the dagger back in its original place.

Now, most of them are useless.

Jiang Shen was injured due to falling off a cliff, and his clothes were damaged in many places. The bag that the little fox found was a great help.He changed into a piece of clean clothes and tidied up a little before going to the entrance of the cave to set up the Clothes Tomb.

However, he has trouble walking now, so he can only rely on the help of the little fox to dig the hole.

The little fox has lived in the mountains for so many years, digging a hole is not a problem for him.He dug a hole in twos and helped Jiang Shen bury the silver charms.

When filling the soil, Jiang Shen didn't ask the little fox to help.

He sat beside the pit, picked up the loess with his own hands, and sprinkled it into the pit.

"Go with peace of mind." Jiang Shen said, "You are dying for me now, I will remember this kindness in my heart."

When he spoke, his voice was low, his face was indifferent, and he couldn't see any emotion: "All these things are all due to my negligence. As long as I live in this world, I will try my best to take care of your family, relatives and friends, Keep them safe for years."

"As for the real murderer behind the scenes..."

When Jiang Shen said this, his voice suddenly paused.

He subconsciously glanced at the little fox who was squatting beside him. The latter had been looking at him, and blinked suspiciously when he saw that he had stopped talking.

...When I find the real culprit, I will cut off his head with my own hands, and sacrifice his flesh and blood to you.

Jiang Shen finished the last sentence in his heart, lowered his eyes, and covered the tomb with the last handful of soil.

After doing this, Jiang Shen wanted to get up, but couldn't.

Today was the first time he went to the ground after his injury. After tossing back and forth for so long, his physical exertion had almost reached its limit.

Jiang Shen didn't make it difficult for him, so he just sat on the ground and rested against the entrance of the cave.

Since he fell off the cliff, this was the first time he saw the scene outside the cave.Outside the cave is a whole forest, the ground is covered with soft green grass, and the sound of water flowing from a distance can be faintly heard.In this winter when the vegetation is withered, the trees in the canyon are still lush and verdant, as if even the change of seasons cannot disturb the purity of the place.

Today is a sunny day, the warm sunshine shines down through the dense treetops overhead, and the water vapor in the depths of the canyon is steaming, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fairyland.

Being in such a place, even the mood will calm down.

If I can live forever...

Jiang Shen closed his eyes, and immediately restrained himself from this thought.

He is the prince of the current dynasty, and what he carries on his back is the country, the country, and the common people.Now the imperial court is in turmoil, especially now that he has been assassinated and disappeared, and it is even more unclear what the chaos is like outside.

How could he have such an idea of ​​escaping from the world?

Jiang Shen breathed a sigh of relief silently, and looked back at the little guy beside him.

Jiang Shen was resting here, and the little fox didn't go away, squatting quietly by the side to accompany him.The bright red fluff was distinct in the sun, and was blown by the cool wind, floating gently.

Jiang Shendao: "Now that I am unable to move, I can only stand here for the time being. When I feel better, I will go to the forest to collect their corpses, and then move the tomb away."

Li Ruan let out a "hmm", but still looked at him without turning his eyes.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Jiang Shen asked.

Li Ruan stepped on her two front paws subconsciously, as if hesitating a bit, and then made up her mind, she nodded seriously.

Jiang Shen said, "Just say what you want to say."

"You..." Li Ruan asked him, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Jiang Shen had almost concluded that the little fox that saved him was a little monster before, so he wasn't too surprised when he heard him say something.Although it is indeed shocking that a fox can speak human language, the fox in front of him is just cute and cute, and his voice is soft.

Even the appearance of asking this question is cute enough to be a little silly.

There was a little smile in Jiang Shen's eyes, he carefully looked it back and forth several times from the beginning to the end, and couldn't pick out anything that would scare him.

He thought for a while, and changed to a cryptic statement: "If you don't harm me, I won't be afraid."

"Of course I won't harm you, I saved you!" Li Ruan wagged her tail happily, "I will definitely not harm you."

Jiang Shen had actually heard these words many times since he was a child. Countless people tried their best to please him and promised him loyalty, but in the end, only a few of them could achieve it.This kind of promise, if others say it, he will not believe a word, and he dare not believe it.

But now it happened to come from such a little guy.

Jiang Shen smiled again, nodded: "Okay."

"You said just now that they died for you, so you have to repay them and be good to their families. Then..." the little fox's eyes brightened, "Then I saved you, should you treat me more? OK?"

The little fox said this very frankly, as if he didn't think it was a strange thing to repay favors.

This is not a bad thing.

The unrequited kindness will only make Jiang Shen feel uneasy.

But Jiang Shen suddenly remembered another matter, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Of course I will repay you, but..." He fiddled with the leaves of grass that he didn't know where he came from, with a rare expression of hesitation, "You told that little tit earlier that you kept me because you wanted to practice double cultivation with me?"

He looked at the thin and small fox in front of him, which he could hold up with only one hand, and asked very uncertainly, "What do you mean by "Shuangxiu...?"

It can't be...is it what he thinks?
