Fate is immortal

On New Year's Eve, although there are no thousands of lights, dozens of red lanterns still envelope the small village wrapped in silver makeup in a warm and happy atmosphere.Amidst bursts of firecrackers, the most lively, unique and extravagant New Year's Eve dinner in the history of A Yuan's family began.

According to the small counting method, counting Uncle Shitou, there are a total of "a family of ten" sitting in a circle in the yard, with a stove filled with charcoal fire in the middle.The girls laughed and huddled together. Under the reflection of the lanterns and charcoal fire, their smiling faces were extraordinarily beautiful.The old man and Uncle Shitou were calm and calm, with joy in their calmness, but A Yuan was anxious at this moment.

The old man's "great achievements" that day actually brought him a large piece of backbone meat and a pig's front leg. Xiao Shitou has also been extremely brave these days, catching several big fish. But also caught two fat hares by trap.The old man doesn't know how to do other things, but he is really an expert in eating.Under his arrangement, all kinds of meat were cut into small pieces, strung together with a stick, and roasted on the fire. secret sauce...

A Yuan had to admit that this was the most unglamorous meal he had ever eaten in his life. In the past, the competition at the dinner table required some strategies and techniques, but now he couldn't care about it at all.Qing'er was a quiet and polite lady in front of everyone, she kept looking at him with a smile, and kept giving him her share.

Whether it's pine wine, fruit wine brewed by Mengmeng, or the sorghum wine stored by Uncle Shitou's family, it is too weak for Uncle Shitou. He drank bowl after bowl without saying a word, just like drinking water. .Although his face was still expressionless, those around him who knew him well could see that Shitou Bo was really happy for so many years.The old man never left the bowl to accompany him, while drinking, he kept taking the sticks that Mengmeng handed over, with one mouth and two hands working together seamlessly, and he ate no less than A Yuan.

The few girls didn't have much enthusiasm for fish, so they stopped eating after a little bit, and started to roast some vegetables, fruits and wild vegetables to eat under the leadership of the two big sisters, Mengmeng and Qing'er.But it didn't take long, as the fruit wine and gin wine continued to decrease, roasting and eating gradually turned into roasting and playing, and all kinds of weird things came into play in turn. A Yuan even wondered if they would take the little girl who just entered the door Nine is also baked.In the end, although Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu were safe, they were also given a lot of alcohol by these girls who started to mess around.

This "barbecue feast" will not stop until the next year. The old man and Uncle Shitou are dragged to the next door by Grandpa Wan to continue drinking with the villagers, leaving only a group of children to clean up the mess.Xiao Xiaozao was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, so she dragged Ning'er to sleep.A Yuan cheered up his courage, swept away the leftovers and leftovers, cleaned up the fire, and was about to go to Xiao Shitou's house to sleep, when Qing'er's voice suddenly came from his ear: "Brother A Yuan..."

A Yuan has been alone with Qing'er for the past two days, suffering from stimulation and torture. When he heard this voice, he trembled all over, and immediately turned around to run to Xiao Shitou's house.As soon as he turned around, he found that Qing'er was blocking the door with a smile...

"Brother A Yuan, do you want to go out? Just right, I also want to go for a walk on the mountain, can you go with me?" Qing'er's face was rosy after drinking, and her smile was so sweet.

A Yuan's heart skipped a beat, wondering if you've ever seen a rabbit jumping into a wolf's den by itself, and quickly said: "This...you see, it's already so late..."

But Qing'er tilted her head and stretched out a hand, circling her thumb and index finger, making a "three" in front of A Yuan's eyes, and A Yuan hurriedly reined in from the cliff and said, "How can I let you go up the mountain alone? I will do whatever you want." I have to go with you!"

The lights and noise gradually faded away, and on a moonless night, it was pitch black a hundred steps away from the entrance of the village.Under the hazy starlight, Qing'er's silver coat glowed with a faint silver light, fluttering like an elf.

A Yuan followed behind a few zhang away, and seeing her heading towards the west mountain, she felt a sudden shock in her heart, and suddenly became a little scared.

Originally, Ah Yuan had never known what fear was because of his courage, but this situation reminded him of a story he had heard since he was a child... Coupled with his natural fear of Qing'er, under the magnification of alcohol, it quickly grew with.

That's right, it's the same in the books he's read, a young girl takes a man to a strange place late at night, what happens next?

Three big characters popped up suddenly - vixen!

A Yuan had a dark ghost in his heart all his life, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Qing'er is usually so well-behaved, why does she seem to be a different person when she is alone with me? I am also like the men in the story. When I see her, I am tied up and completely at the mercy of others. Could it be that I am fascinated by her?" ..."

"Based on the old man's ability, how could someone ask him to be a teacher? It's clear that he was deceived by his lack of eyes..."

"If she's a vixen, then Ning'er must be too. That's right, she's still inexperienced, that's why she's so afraid of people, and she can't speak very well!..."

"Ah, by the way, there is also Xiao Qi! They are all foxes, maybe they were attracted by Xiao Qi..."

"She tricked me into the wilderness three times in the middle of the night. Could it be that she wanted to suck my Yang Yuan?...Although I don't know what Yang Yuan is, it's probably similar to cannibalism..."

…………

Thinking about it, Ah Yuan's legs became weak, and he couldn't walk any longer. When he wanted to turn around and run, his legs seemed to be filled with lead again.It is often said in the book that once a monster is discovered, it will immediately show its original shape and eat people.

Qing'er in front noticed that A Yuan was falling further and further, so she turned her head and said, "Brother A Yuan, let's go."

A Yuan said tremblingly: "Qing, Qing'er, I think it's better to go back..."

"No—OK—" Qing'er smiled and ran over to hold A Yuan's arm, "Just a few quick steps and we'll be there." He set it up and walked forward, singing softly as he walked, as if he was very happy Look, slowly, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Ah Yuan was sweating all over, his hands and feet were cold, and only then did he understand why those demented men could not resist even knowing that the other party was a vixen.Just like at this time, he was obviously terribly afraid in his heart, but he couldn't push away the delicate body beside him, and he didn't know whether he dared or was a little bit reluctant.

Qing'er dragged A Yuan all the way over the mountain pass, through the fruit forest, and arrived at A Yuan's treasured place - Huzhongju with ease.After entering the room, Qing'er lit the fire like a master, opened the window, took out two books from the bookshelf, handed one to A Yuan, and sat by the window to read quietly.

At night, it was quiet and quiet, with a faint fragrance coming from it.A Yuan was sitting at the side dumbfounded, holding the ancient book in both hands, like a prisoner waiting for execution with a sentence...

I don't know how long it took, Qing'er finally stood up with a lot of enthusiasm, and stretched her waist without a ladylike style, and A Yuan who was beside her suddenly trembled all over.Seeing his expression, Qing'er couldn't help bursting out laughing, then straightened her clothes and straightened her face, just like the first time they met, saluted dignifiedly, and said softly: "Brother A Yuan, I'm sorry..."

This soft and charming voice was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. A Yuan collapsed to the ground, struggling desperately and said: "Qing, sister Qing, uh no, Daxian, Daxian, please forgive me, please forgive me... I You shouldn't bully Ning'er, I shouldn't bully Xiaoqi, I, I deserve to die, your lord has a lot, let me go..."

Qing'er never dreamed that A Yuan would react like this, so she took a step back in fright, and said timidly, "Brother A Yuan, what's wrong with you?..."

A Yuan kept talking nonsense, "I, I'm still young, you see I'm small and thin, and I haven't had enough to eat since I was a child... Please, please don't eat me, and don't suck my Yang Yuan..."

"You, you, what are you talking about?!" Qing'er stood there blankly, her pretty face flushed, her expression changed several times, and she understood what A Yuan meant, and she couldn't help scolding: "Do you treat me like something?" A monster?"

A Yuan was taken aback, looked up at the angry-eyed girl, hesitantly said: "Could it be, aren't you..."

"You are the monster!" Qing'er stomped her feet angrily, couldn't help but raised her fist and hit A Yuan on the head, stood in front of him angrily and said, "Tell me, I don't look like a monster!" gone?"

A Yuan stammered: "Of course the monster can't see it."

Qing'er was angry about it, and said with a straight face: "Well, tell me, what kind of monster is it?"

A Yuan's face turned red from holding back, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Unless, unless you let me feel if you have a tail..."

"You! You're talking nonsense again!!" Qinger's face flushed red all of a sudden, as if she was about to ooze blood, she couldn't help but waved her two pink fists at A Yuan...

A Yuan ate a lot of beatings, and finally believed that Qing'er was not a monster, he felt relieved, and hurriedly apologized.But Qing'er got angry and ignored him, and sat there with her head buried in her head, whining.A Yuan knew that this embarrassment had reached the extreme, and that he had caused a catastrophe, so he hurriedly stepped forward and patted his back, apologizing repeatedly.

Qing'er "cried" for a while, then stood up abruptly and said, "Brother Ah Yuan bullied me and called me a monster, I'm going to tell my husband!" She said as if to leave.

"Don't, don't!" A Yuan hurriedly pulled her back, but she didn't want Qing'er to move at all, so she pulled her violently, but ended up pulling her into her arms.The two blushed all of a sudden, and suddenly separated, speechless for a while.

After a while, Qing'er finally broke the embarrassment and said, "Say it! What kind of monster do you think I am?"

A Yuan said awkwardly: "Fox, vixen..."

Qing'er was furious and said, "Okay, you, you think I'm a vixen, why do you say that? If you can't tell me, I will never forgive you." Then she pinched him fiercely .

A Yuan yelled in pain, and then frowned and told all the suspicious things that he thought of on the road just now.Qing'er really didn't expect that he could say so many "suspicious things" that were "reasonable and well-founded" all at once, and she became coquettish for a while, and then beat up A Yuan relentlessly.

"Don't fight, female hero, spare your life, I say, I say! In fact, the main reason is a story I have heard since I was a child..."

"Huh? What story? Tell me quickly, if you can't tell, I will never forgive you!" Although the heroine was fierce, she was already in A Yuan's trap.A Yuan brought up this story precisely to distract her.

In fact, it was just a rough story with no beginning or end.

It was a snowy night, a story about a happy young couple and a careless hunter...

…………

"Then what? Then what happened? Was the demon fox eliminated by that little Taoist priest?" Qing'er was completely attracted by this story, and asked with concern.

"I don't know." A Yuan shook his head, and said slowly: "The hunter woke up the next day, and he was already at the foot of the mountain. He ran up the mountain like crazy to have a look, and found that everything had disappeared. The little The corpses of the couple, the vixen, the little Taoist priest, and even the cabin, all disappeared. It was as if there was nothing at all, just a dream."

"That's it..." Qing'er stared at A Yuan with twinkling star eyes, her expression was a little lonely, and she murmured: "That's fine. Maybe that Orion didn't fall into a coma overnight, but slept for a hundred years. All love and hatred, a hundred years Afterwards, it dissipated into nothingness. Things in the world are like this."

Qing'er didn't know that this ending was actually fabricated by A Yuan on the spur of the moment.He didn't know the ending of the story, because Grandpa Wan never finished telling it.

In his mind, it was supposed to be the little Taoist priest who caught the fox demon and let his soul and spirit be wiped out.He didn't know why, but he couldn't help but continue the story to such an ending tonight.

After the buffering of this story, the two had their own thoughts, and finally sat down quietly side by side, Qinger bowed her head and said nothing, and A Yuan was also happy that the "fox spirit" incident had finally passed, pretending to have learned from the pain, not daring to mess up again say.

After a while, Qing'er said, "Brother A Yuan, do you know that calling a girl a vixen is a very, very excessive thing..."

A Yuan screamed in his heart, and apologized in a hurry, but Qing'er waved his hand to interrupt him, as if talking to himself: "But, I don't know why, I am not really angry when you say that, on the contrary, There is also a little bit of ecstasy..."

"Actually, since I was a child, I have only been so naughty in the past few days. Usually, I have always been a good girl. At the beginning, I was just infected by the unfettered life here, and wanted to play tricks on you on a whim. However, I feel more and more that this is very fun. Hee hee, don’t be angry, because these few days alone with you are the happiest days in my life. So, I want to apologize to you, and at the same time, Thank you. However, you actually called me a vixen, huh, I'm still very angry, so we two are even."

Ah Yuan didn't dare to intervene, he could only listen to Qinger's narration like a fool.Thinking about it, Qing'er must have been locked up in a deep house and strictly disciplined on weekdays, and has never had any playmates, so she feels this way.Although A Yuan has never been imprisoned, he seems to understand it very well.

"But brother A Yuan, you are still going too far. You bullied Ning'er like that, and you still suspect that she is a little fox with little knowledge..." Qing'er couldn't help laughing, and then her expression became serious again, "Ning'er Her life experience is very pitiful. She has been tortured since she was a child. The people around her have been torturing her and hurting her. That's why she is so afraid of people. When she sees strangers, she is too nervous to speak. But you, although There was no malice, but it brought back memories of her childhood and caused her great pain. Don't treat her like that again in the future."

A Yuan was criticized so badly that she could only lower her head and admit her mistake, but couldn't help asking curiously: "Why? Ning'er is so cute, why do people around her treat her badly? What about her family?"

"You think she's cute too?" Qing'er smiled faintly, "It's a pity I can't tell you yet."

A Yuan was very dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice: "I have to say anything you ask me, but you don't say anything I ask you, it's too unfair."

Qing'er smiled narrowly and said, "Because I'm a guest, the third rule is the third rule. Hehe, brother Ayuan, if you really want to know about me and Ning'er, you can wait until you learn the fairy art, and then you will come to Luoyang." Come and visit me in Yuncheng, when you are a guest, I will tell you everything, okay?"

When A Yuan heard the fairy method, he immediately lifted his spirits, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will use the flying sword to find you, you are not allowed to play tricks."

Qing'er covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "That's naturally good, but by then, Qing'er may have become an old woman."

A Yuan said angrily: "I don't believe it, do you? Just wait and see, I will be able to practice the immortal technique in a year or two, and then you have to change into an old woman and show me!"

Qing'er smiled lightly, seemingly in disbelief, but at the same time as encouraging, "Brother Ah Yuan, after you have practiced the immortal technique taught to you by your master, you might as well travel around. This world is so vast, there must be many adventures .I think Brother A Yuan has a big heart and aspirations in all directions. Although the green water and green mountains are beautiful, he can’t keep you forever. Why don’t you get out of the house as soon as possible and see for yourself what the world looks like.”

These few words made Ah Yuan's blood boil, and he patted his chest and said: "That's right! A man should be like those knights, with wine and sword, aiming for the world. After I have accomplished my magic, I will definitely go to travel the world. The first one is Go to your house, you must treat me well." After all, A Yuan was handed down by the old man himself, and he did not forget to ensure the board and lodging while being excited.

"Okay, let's make a deal. There is an alley in the east of Luoyun City called Yuxiang. If you go there and ask for Qing'er, you will definitely find me."

Ah Yuan was full of pride for a moment, imitating the image of a hero in his imagination, and said with a loud smile: "It's a deal! I'm just a poor boy in the country, what should I do if people kick me out? Should you give me a token, Miss?" what?"

Qing'er was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, she lowered her head, and slowly untied the red thread tied around her neck.

A brocade pouch is tied with a red thread, on which several cloud patterns are embroidered with silver thread and embellished with several pieces of jade.As soon as the kit was taken out, there was a burst of subtle fragrance, which was exactly the fragrance of Qing'er's body on weekdays. It must be her cherished sachet.

"Brother A Yuan, if you don't dislike it, this kit can be used as a token."

Originally, Ah Yuan just wanted to tease her, but she didn't expect Qing'er to take out something close to her body as a token, she panicked and said incoherently: "Don't, don't, I'm just joking, how can I want such a valuable thing?" ? Besides, I am a man, and carrying this sachet is too..."

"Who said I gave it to you, but I just lent it to you as a token." Qing'er blushed a little, as if she was quite annoyed by A Yuan's refusal, "Besides, who said it belongs to a girl, you have a good plan. Have you ever said that? In this kit, there is a clever plan that can save Brother A Yuan from the fire and water. When Brother A Yuan encounters great difficulties and feels that there is no way out, just open this kit, and it will surely come to light .Remember, it must be opened at the most difficult time, otherwise it will not work.”

Yi Ren in front of him was both angry and ashamed, and chatted, A Yuan suddenly became a little crazy, and just stared blankly.Qing'er was even more ashamed, she hurriedly turned her face away, and gently stuffed the kit into A Yuan's hand.The slender hand passed over the palm, and the cold touch made A Yuan suffocate for a while.

At that moment, looking at Qing'er's twinkling star eyes, A Yuan's heart was beating violently, filled with an unprecedented feeling, a touch of sweetness, intoxicating and far away, like the long-lasting fragrance.

The two of them just stared at each other silently, speechless for a long time...

"Brother A Yuan, I should go..."

A sudden soreness surged up in A Yuan's heart, and it got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak. He was about to get up, but was held down by Qing'er.

"Brother A Yuan will sleep here tonight." Qing'er walked slowly to the window, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her voice seemed to carry the coolness of the night wind, "I like this very much. There is a piece of night sky that belongs only to you, no one will disturb you, you can quietly blow the wind, read a book, and be in a daze...Brother A Yuan, I envy you very much."

Qing'er turned her head, looked at A Yuan tenderly, and said softly: "Brother A Yuan, let me tell you a little secret. In fact, Ning'er has a very special ability to read all kinds of illusions from other people's eyes. The illusion often reflects all the fragments of his current life and previous life. Do you remember that time when you looked at her? She said that from your eyes, she saw a vast sky, bright stars, and a person flying above the sky and the Milky Way .”

"Brother A Yuan, you were born extraordinary, and sooner or later you will climb the clouds and attain the Dao. When you fly above the nine heavens, please don't forget that there is a little sister who is sometimes naughty and sometimes well-behaved, who has been fooling around in Luoyun City. Waiting for you foolishly..." As she spoke, Qing'er's cheeks were already flushed, she hurriedly opened the door, and fled.

A Yuan chased out the door, looking at the petite figure in the cold wind.The kit in his bosom still has her lingering fragrance, but Yi Ren has gone away, only those touching starry eyes are still twinkling in his heart...

In the biting cold wind, Qing'er turned her head and looked at the standing figure on the hill.When she turned around, the original tenderness and attachment in her eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant.In a pair of star pupils, there was only a touch of sarcasm, and a coldness like ice and snow.

"Humph……"

A contemptuous sneer dissipated in the howling cold wind.
