official in the wild

Chapter 54

The dog demon's deep yellow eyes didn't blink, and the shoes flew high and drew an arc and hit the top of his head. Then he turned around and slipped away carelessly, and walked away but didn't go far. He squatted down in an open space.

Old man Qi spread a broken mat on the floor and slept with his head on his arm.In midsummer, the ground is wet and cold, and the invisible cold invades the bodies of poor people who have suffered a lifetime.

Within a radius of one mile, there are no insects or birds, and no cicadas can be heard deep in the shade.The boy quietly got out of the hammock, stepped on the ground with his bare toes and stretched it lightly, but in a blink of an eye, the boy disappeared out of thin air. Where he was originally standing, there was a little fox that was as red as coals, with four legs and two legs. The tip of one ear is snow white, as if it could ride the clouds at any time.

The little fox jumped out, and in an instant, he was in front of the dog demon. He was small and delicate, young and tender, as if the night could cut him off.

The dog demon squatted down and dozed off, his head jerked and turned, and he did not forget to guard the gate dutifully.

The little fox jumped into his arms and rubbed against the soft, velvety fur on his belly. The fur and bones relaxed, and curled up into a soft and charming red pompom. sleep.

The dog demon opened his eyes, kicked the little fox away calmly, walked towards the thatched shed, squatted beside the old man, said a good dream in his heart, and then lay down behind him and wanted to fall asleep.Just like the little fox looking for thousands of miles, he can only find peace even in the dead of night, he will have a good night's dream when he is beside the decayed old man.

The little fox jumped over and fell asleep against the dog monster's back, reminding himself not to get carried away, and remember to transform before dawn tomorrow.

The corners of his mouth slanted up, thankful that he is a fox, born with cleverness and charm, what fun is there to be with people, and now he is gracefully swaying in front of him all day long, one day the dog monster will fall in love with him.A person's lifespan is only a few years, cuteness is but a fleeting moment, and now he is so old that he can't wait to kick his feet to the ends of the earth, only he can accompany him for a long time.

Ju Tongye just took a look at it and kept it in his heart. When he was patrolling the street the next day, he thought it was strange. After searching the street, he turned around and went to old man Qi's thatched hut.

He reckoned that old man Qi should go to chop wood, and if it was just a misunderstanding, he didn't have to worry about being scolded by him.

A few wild dogs were scattered around the thatched hut, lying or squatting, lazy and very vigilant, and they all raised their heads to look at them from a long distance away.

Ju Tongye was stunned, but he didn't feel any malice. He saw a thin boy sitting on the hammock, dangling on his thin legs like firewood sticks.

This young man is also pretty, with shrewdness all over his body, just like Shen Yin, making it easy to tell that he is not a local.

Ju Tongye was puzzled, could it be that old man Qi also picked up a little lunatic to keep in his home, just like he raised Shen Yin in the yamen.While Ju Tongye looked at the boy, the boy also looked at him innocently and curiously. For some reason, Ju Tongye always felt that this person was not young, and there was an indescribable vicissitudes in his shadow. It is old but childlike.

The young man remembered that this person came together with the county magistrate last night. He thought that Xiazhou was a place of no concern, but he didn't expect that person to be quite scary.He also happened to take this opportunity to improve the food, and seeing Ju Tongye not moving, he waved to him and signaled him to come over.

Living in the same field is not good at communicating with people, and he was already retiring, but it was inappropriate to refuse the invitation sincerely. He walked over in fear and trepidation, and found that the boy's appearance was a bit blurry from a distance, and he looked a lot like old man Qi when he looked up close. You have to be in the same line to have it, thinking about it, you can't help asking: "You are?"

"My name is Qi Li. Uncle has gone to cut firewood. I'll take care of the house for him." The boy named Qi Li smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up like a fishhook, as if he was about to prick a hole in his face with blood. .

It's obviously a bright smile, and it's clear that the sky is clear after the snow, and it's strange to read it inexplicably in the same field.If it weren't for the sincere and innocent smile that appeared in his mind from time to time, he would have believed that Qi Li's smile was also sincere.

Ju Tongye gave him an awkward smile that didn't seem like a smile: "I never heard that he has any relatives."

Pointing to his own face, Qi Li replied, "I look so much like my uncle, why should there be any doubts? My uncle already recognizes me. Besides, what am I trying to do? Ever since my parents died, I have been wandering in the rivers and lakes alone. It was a coincidence that I heard that I was not completely clear about the whole body, and that there was an uncle reborn in Xiaozhou. So I came to join my uncle, and my uncle was also happy that I could be with him, and I wanted to support him until his death.”

After talking endlessly, Qi Li never expected that Ju Tongye only listened to the first two sentences, what did Ju Tongye only think about him?Old man Qi is poor enough for this kind of virtue.

Seeing that Ju Tongye seemed to believe it, his mind became blurred, and the smile on Qi Li's face changed from a simple hook to a split.Ju Tongye only felt that his vision and mind were blurred, and he saw a bloody mouth in a trance.

"What are you doing!"

With a sudden sound of sticking to the head, Ju Tongye seemed to have been really hit by a stick. When he was conscious, he saw old man Qi walking over with a stick, with a pile of firewood on his back, and the shiny and soft fur dog next to his feet. Big black dog.

The old man Qi was more agile than ordinary people when he walked on crutches. He put down the firewood and came to Ju Tongye like a gust of wind, pushed him away, and held Qi Li tightly in his arms.The action of pushing people is really rude as usual, but embracing people is gentle and gentle. He spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and said viciously: "Slave, a lowly thing, how dare you bully grandpa..."

When Ju Tongye saw the old man Qi, he panicked, rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and ran away. He didn't notice that the dogs that were following the old man Qi also backed away one after another.Ju Tongye ran a long distance and looked back in panic, but he clearly couldn't see anything, but he still had lingering fears.

Shen Yin paced back and forth in the study restlessly.

Zeng Xiang was dizzy from seeing it, he hesitated to speak several times, and was timid and cowardly, not daring to speak out again.He has persuaded him twice, once he was beaten violently, and once he was scolded without explanation.

It took twice as much effort for Ju Tongye to go out to patrol the streets, so the grown-up man might just be attracted by something interesting on the road, but Chen Yin always felt that there was something wrong.Sure enough, he didn't come back from Jutongye before noon, and he was full of vixen and coquettish smell.

Last night, Shen Yin saw that old man Qi was hiding a very coquettish vixen, and he still thought it was fun to see the displeased but helpless look of the vixen. Now thinking about it, he only regrets that he didn't pull out the fox's tail on the spot.

Zeng sounded relieved, hurriedly ran out, forgot that there were two more steps in front of the study room, stepped on the air and fell on a big horse, and got up without pain, as if he was a thief in a hurry and was caught by his master: "Go out this morning." My mother in front of the door told me to go back to eat at noon, big brother, I will go first!"

Shen Yin stood in front of the study door with a dull and gloomy expression.

Ju Tongye couldn't tell what he was thinking, he didn't recover from the scare just now until he entered the yamen, now he was sunburned dizzy and couldn't figure it out.He set up an awning with his hands to relieve the tingling pain: "Be hungry, I'll go get some food."

Shen Yin lowered his eyelids slightly, secretly planning to skin the fox thousands of times, he followed Ju Tongye to the kitchen, ready to cook and eat.He wrinkled his nose and sniffed. It was full of annoying foxes, and he really wanted to rub him three times in the tub.

Ju Tongye is so stupid that his hands and brain are uncoordinated. As he pondered, his hands were scalded twice before the noodles were put into the pot. After thinking about it, it shouldn't be a serious problem, but he has a vague premonition.

Shen Yin filled two bowls of noodles, living in the same field today, he really didn't do anything seriously, he didn't even buy a la carte while patrolling the streets, so he could only eat boiled noodles at noon.

Holding the bowl, Ju Tongye noticed that the two bowls of thin clear soup lacked water, and he was about to make people fat for nothing, so he apologized: "I forgot to buy vegetables, and I will make it up tonight."

"Well, I forgot, then why did you go?" Shen Yin pretended to be careless and asked casually, smacking the tip of his chopsticks, raising and lowering his eyelids, he could easily make people surrender.

Ju Tongye didn't think too much, took a big mouthful of noodles and swallowed, then said: "It's not a big deal, when we went to buy firewood last night, there was a man at old man Qi's, I went to see him in the morning and said it was Qi Li, He is old man Qi's nephew. Old man Qi's family has been passed down for three generations, so where does the nephew come from? He looks very similar, and he is almost carved out of the same mold. But old man Qi has no money, if he is really lying, what are you trying to do to him?"

"It's too early for you to make a decision. You only want money, power, and people. Maybe you don't know if they have buried pearls and emeralds." Shen Yin buried his head in eating noodles. reason.

Ju Tongye seemed to understand something, put down his chopsticks and said, "You are right, I have to go and see."

"Come back." Shen Yin didn't have a good mood, poked his chopsticks into the bowl, and stared back at him with his eyes, "What can you do if you go like this! You are frizzy and reckless."

Ju Tongye happily said, "Then what good idea do you have?"

Shen Yin picked up the bowl, pouted and blew lightly, took a sip of the noodle soup and said, "I don't have a good idea, but I do have a bad idea, will you listen?"

"Of course." Ju Tongye had no idea at all, and unconsciously obeyed him.

He groaned complacently and let out a "heh", as if he had been praised to the end, he raised his chin and said proudly: "I think the most important thing is that the person named Qi Li looks similar to old man Qi, so he is convinced No doubt."

Ju Tongye thinks that Shen Yin is not only outstanding in appearance, but also unique in thinking, these two points alone make him have indescribable connotations.He was so absorbed in thinking about old man Qi Lituqi that he walked into a dead end, but now he cut it open with a pair of scissors and asked, "Can you look alike even if you are not related by blood?"

He pondered: "Then tell me, how did that man named Qi Li know that there is an ugly old man Qi in Xiazhou, who looks very similar to him. What accident did I know? How did I not accidentally learn that there is another you."

Ju Tongye has nothing to say.

Shen Yin persuasively said: "Don't worry about what he wants to do, just tear him down and everything will be fine, just like you plant a flower seed and worry that the flower will not look good. Instead of standing by and waiting for the flower to bloom and pick it off, it's better Dig up the seeds now."

As he said that, he waited intently for the person in front of him who was deep in thought, thinking that his seed was almost buried, and he did not less water and fertilize on weekdays, and it was time for it to bloom and bear fruit.

Ju Tongye raised his head and asked again: "But old man Qi knows best that he has no brothers, why would he believe Qi Li's words?"

"Maybe it's because he's old and lacks a companion. There just happens to be a young man who can talk to him." Shen Yin sighed, resentful, as if blaming him.

Ju Tongye was flustered when he heard it, as if he had made a big mistake and couldn't remember it, he followed vague clues aimlessly to hide the past, like sinking and floating in the rushing river.

The groaning voice was the clear current in the river, pulling him back to the shore in an instant: "Go at night, don't let anyone see you in broad daylight."

"Huh?" Ju Tongye was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that he didn't want to be seen by the people so that the false identity would become more and more black, and he wanted to realize the truth, and there was a sign of regret, but the recklessness that day was still unforgivable.

However, living in the same field thinks too much, and their thoughts are contradictory.Shen Yin wondered how to deal with the vixen?He couldn't think of a reason, and decided to spend the afternoon reading some Sanskrit scriptures, which can be used to deal with monsters in the world, and it is also a reason to deal with vixen.

Shen Yin drank the last sip of soup: "You stink to death, why don't you wash it off."

Ju Tongye was in a trance for a moment, suddenly being disgusted was not "embarrassing" to describe it, he didn't dare to stay longer even for a moment, his ears were blushing when he boiled the water.He thought it was Shen Yin who disliked him, but he didn't expect that he was washing and washing. He saw Shen Yin rolling up his sleeves while walking, with a loofah that he hadn't used before, and he was so aggressive that he couldn't help but do it himself. I rubbed it everywhere, almost rubbing off a layer of his skin.It was extremely cold outside, and the water was so warm that Shen Yin was like a golden crow, dazzling and scorching.

The loofah seeds are the loofahs that I grow in the same field. I don’t pick them after they bear fruit. I just wait for them to dry up automatically. Scrubbing pots and dishes is better than a rag.It didn't hurt at all when I took a bath, but Ju Tongye was red from noon to dusk, and I saw the stars all over the sky vying to twinkle, and under the black rag-like sky, I could see a little bit of blush, like a big red joy The red gauze curtain hangs high under the words.
