Xianyun Yihe

The autumn pears were transported from the county town, without peeling the skin, just take a bite like this, and your mouth will be filled with saliva.

After Xianyun finished reading the bill, he realized that the pears on the plate had been pecked to pieces, and Baihe had long since disappeared, probably hiding away for fear of being blamed.He smiled helplessly and looked out the window. The autumn sky was high and the wind was refreshing.When the autumn harvest is approaching, the wild animals in the forest are extraordinarily plump, even the worms in the field are much fatter, which attracts white cranes to come and steal them.

I wanted to make wine, but the new rice hadn't been harvested yet, so Xianyun thought about it and decided to go hunting first.Although he is a merchant now, he still remembers the six arts of a gentleman that he learned in the past, and it is enough to catch some pheasants and hares.If you encounter a wild fox, you should be able to try it, but the villagers seldom hunt and kill foxes. They all say that they are descendants of mountain gods and have spiritual energy on them.After hearing this, Xianyun didn't attack the fox again, anyway, it's hard to run into the fox while walking in the forest.

That's a very cunning thing.

The white crane's call suddenly resounded, and Xianyun came back to his senses, and saw a white dumpling flying in from the window and pounced on him.Then he stretched out his hand to hug him, and Bai He, who had become coquettish, immediately rubbed his head against his chest, as if he wanted him to play with him.

"Go hunting."

So in the afternoon of the next day, one person and one crane walked towards the mountain along the stream.The road is full of fallen leaves, layered upon layer, making creaking noises when stepped on.When the wind blows, the fallen leaves fly low like yellow butterflies, causing the white cranes to jump and beat them, but they come back with a whole body of broken leaves, and Xianyun raises his hand to help them carefully brush them off.

After playing around for a while, Baihe felt tired, and returned to Xianyun's arms, leaning his head against the crest of his neck, the half-grown fluff made it itchy.The hut at the foot of the mountain was empty, and bows and arrows hung on the walls, anyone could use them.Xianyun picked one, let the white crane step on his shoulders, and walked slowly into the dense forest.

The flocks of pheasants scattered when they heard the sound of the rushing wind. One of the slow-running chickens was pierced by the arrow before it could utter a scream.The white crane flew over in a hurry, stretched out its paws and kicked it, and found that the pheasant in the grass did not move, with a crude arrow stuck in its abdomen, and its feathers were stained red with blood.Bai He accidentally touched it, knowing that the blood was still warm, Jiujiu begged Xianyun who followed to take out a handkerchief to wipe it clean.

Xianyun didn't go to pick up the pheasant, until he carefully wiped off a little blood on the white crane's paws, then he looked at the fat chicken covered by weeds and said, "Catch another one and make a pair."

Bai He repeatedly responded.

It was almost dusk when the second fat pheasant was shot.On the way home, Xianyun found a bunch of white wild flowers, took them off and stuck them on the white crane's head.It didn't dare to move around, staring at a pair of clever eyes, it looked very cute.

The hut at the foot of the mountain was lit, and the light was very dim, so it would be hard to spot if one didn't look closely.Xian Yun hugged the white crane whose feathers had become dirty, and heard some blushing voices coming from behind the door:

"Ah...don't be so...you beast..."

"A Li..."

"Easy... lighten!"

"Ah……"

Xianyun took a few steps back, pretending that he didn't hear anything, and at the same time covered Bai He's head.The white crane whose head was caught suddenly began to struggle, and kept chirping. The people in the room seemed to be aware of their presence. After a while, the panting and groaning stopped, and a tall man came out.

"Ah Jin?" Xianyun apologized.

The other party was only wearing trousers, and there were many scratch marks on his upper body, probably from being touched by the person in the room: "It's getting dark soon, and it will be very cold in the mountains."

I also heard that men are in love, Xianyun was not overly surprised, and answered along the lines: "Yes."

Just as he was talking, another person came out of the room wearing a robe, with the last satisfaction and weariness all over his body: "Ah, little white crane, did you come to listen to the corner on purpose?"

Baihe broke free from Xianyun's hand, and threw himself in front of the man, making a gesture to bite him: "Jiujiu!"

Seeing this, Dr. Lu burst out laughing, and his appearance became more and more beautiful.Ah Jin gathered his collar for him, showing a hint of displeasure: "I don't want to wear more clothes before I come out, so go inside and rest." In front of this person, he seemed to be talkative, not as usual. Generally reticent.

Xian Yun was amused by the sight, with narrow eyes, he stepped forward and took Bai He away.Then he turned to Ah Jin and said, "Ah Qing and Ah Liang are both married, and you should start a family as soon as possible. If you really like men, it's fine." A Liang had already married before, and moved to the county with Ah Ping from the family at the entrance of the village , the old tenant began to urge the eldest son to get married all day long, and Xianyun also listened to it a few times.

Ah Jin nodded.

Leaving aside those two people for the time being, Xianyun returned home with the white crane in his arms, and ate pheasant meat tonight, which was very fragrant.I don't know if it was too much time, or because of other reasons, the white crane still refused to sleep obediently in the middle of the night, and insisted on pestering Xianyun to comb its hair.After walking around for a day, Xianyun was really tired, and he accidentally listened to what Ajin and Dr. Lu said, and was upset, so naturally he didn't want to talk to him.

Bai He begged several times, seeing Xian Yun closed his eyes as if he was fast asleep, then he got under the quilt aggrievedly and squeezed into the other party's arms.

That night, Xianyun fell asleep again, and saw Doctor Lu standing behind Ah Jin with a fluffy red tail, like a fox.Then he looked at the white crane in his arms, and it turned out to be the boy from that day again, with a bright red streak in his hair, like the down on the white crane's forehead.With tears in his eyes, the young man seemed extremely aggrieved, and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his neck.Xianyun was startled and almost let go, but the young man clung to him tightly, as if they were the only ones left in the dream, the stream flowed quietly past his ankles, but the slight coolness could not take away the heat from his body.

Xianyun woke up with a start, covered in sweat.

The white crane in his arms seemed to have eaten something delicious, smashed his mouth, and bit his collar.

"It's really strange." Xian Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

After several days, Baihe never woke up again.

Although Xianyun was anxious in his heart, his expression became more and more calm.At this time, Dr. Lu came uninvited, sat down and said, "Little Baihe is going to be an adult."

"adult?"

Dr. Lu raised his eyebrows: "Of course. It has grown so big, it should..."

Suddenly thinking of the breeding season that all birds have, Xianyun felt a little depressed for no reason: "Are you going to find a female crane?"

"Whatever." Dr. Lu took a sip of the tea, seemed satisfied with the taste, and seemed more relaxed, "It wants it, but you can't stop it, unless it doesn't want it."

"..."

After leaving these few words, Dr. Lu took his leave. Before leaving, he specially said to Xianyun: "The villagers often say that there are many spirits and monsters in the mountains, and even a fox can become a descendant of a mountain god."

After hearing this, Xianyun pondered for a moment, then got up suddenly, and hurried upstairs.On the couch, Bai He turned over, the hair on his forehead turned as bright red as blood.
