Qizhou

Summer is in a hurry, and autumn is over in a blink of an eye.Chang'an is located in the northwest inland, so it is windy and dry in autumn.

The few ginkgo trees planted in Xu's mansion could not withstand the westerly winds, and they were dyed orange overnight.When I opened the door and came out, I saw the dead leaves blown down by the wind, and then I remembered that it was time to celebrate the New Year again.The human life is so long, but it is just year after year, back and forth overlapping.A golden fan leaf was brought by the wind, and it was falling on his head.Ci Nian moved his ears, grabbed the dry yellow leaf, looked at the dead leaves covering the yard in front of him, and a thought slowly emerged in his head.

The little fox kicked his legs and stepped on the top of the rockery in the pool. He glanced at it briefly, straightened his arms, and centered himself, he swung vigorously in a half circle.Where his fingertips were pointing, a gust of wind was gradually blowing up. The wind lifted up the fallen leaves and rolled them low on the ground. Soar up into the sky and circle around the rockery.

Gathering them together, the fallen leaves hanging in the air kept rolling, like a huge ball.He looked at it for a long time, and after making sure that the dust was shaken off, he chuckled lightly and snapped his fingers.With a crisp sound, the yellow leaves rustled down and piled up on the bank of the pool, forming a small hill.

If He Qizhou came back, he wouldn't have to ask someone to sweep the floor.

Ci Nian looked at the small hill with a sharp point, and his heart moved.He kicked his legs and jumped up, opened his arms, and jumped towards the pile of yellow leaves.There was a fluttering sound, and the dead leaves flew around like birds. Ci Nian buried himself in the soft dead leaves, like throwing himself into a ball of thin cotton wool.The humidity in Sichuan is heavy, and the leaves fall to the ground, but they will rot into mud in a few days, and it will never be as dry and fluffy as in Chang'an.

A puff of green smoke rose from the pile of leaves, and after a sound of scratching, it was no longer a young man with bundled hair, but a snow-white fox with pointed ears.The leaf pile is too small, it's okay to just jump in, but it's not convenient to roll around...

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no one at home, Ci Nian plans to indulge himself.

The little fox worked hard, stretched out his front paws, and dug in the pile of fallen leaves for a while, until the golden yellow flakes flew all over the sky.The leaves are very light, and a little force can make them float up. Ci Nian hollowed out most of the leaf mountain, and was about to dig a door for himself and build a hut, but the part of the top of his head that was only supported by the same kind of flimsy support collapsed. .The leaves fluttered down one after another, burying Ci Nian in it.

The next moment, the unyielding little fox jumped out again. He raised his two front paws, vigorously pushed the fallen leaves on his head, and shook his hair several times before shaking off the yellow leaves mixed in the hair.Seeing that the building of the house was not successful, Ci Nian planned to build a nest for himself.But as soon as he turned around, he bumped into a pair of eyes that were too familiar.

It was He Qizhou who came back.

The man held the pastry in one hand and put the other behind his back, trying his best to suppress a smile in his eyes. He was standing beside the pile of fallen leaves, watching him quietly.

Su Nian was startled, he burrowed into the pile of dead leaves without even thinking about it, who would have thought that when he turned around, he would reveal his big feather-duster-like tail, before he could hide it, he was caught by He Qizhou with quick eyesight and quick hands up the tail.This lifeline has been seized, how can there be any possibility of escape?No matter how hard he pulled his limbs, the tail would be in He Qizhou's hands. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how high he swung the fallen leaves, he could only stand still.

Seeing that I can't hide in the year of resignation, I have to smash the cans and smash them.While the tail was still being grabbed, he hastily changed back into a human form.With this change, the already fragile pile of fallen leaves is even more vulnerable.The little fox, who had returned to his youthful form, turned over and lay down among the scattered yellow leaves, thinking that this person could let him off now, right?But who would have thought that as soon as he turned his head, that man also squatted down, with a wider smile on his face.

Ci Nian looked along his hand and was dumbfounded.Who would have imagined that this fox, which turned back into a human form, would have a day when someone would grab its tail and refuse to let go!Ci Nian hurriedly flicked his tail, trying to let the furry guy slip out of his hands.He Qizhou didn't pull hard, but just twisted it lightly. Seeing him struggling, he let go of his hand and let the big fluffy tail go around behind him.Fortunately, the ones I wear today are short shirts, and the trousers are only hung on the hip bones with a tail slit.

If this is wearing a long shirt...

"Why... why are you back..." Ci Nian hurriedly hid his tail, trying to prop himself up and get up, but he didn't know if he was in too much haste, or because He Qizhou was embarrassed when he saw the fox's appearance. On the pile of fallen leaves, I stepped and slid step by step, tossing and tossing for a long time, as if I was being pulled by the tail just now, standing still, motionless.

But He Qizhou quietly suppressed the smile on his face, put the pastry in his arms, tilted his body generously, and lay on the same pile of fallen leaves with him.The slate is gray and white, and the fallen leaves are golden. When you look up at the clouds, you can see the blue sky.He Qizhou said: "Didn't I leave you a note saying that I went out to buy some snacks? Do you really think I'm not at home today?"

Ci Nian didn't read any notes today, he watched the yellow leaves flying in the yard, and rushed out on a whim.

He Qizhou said again: "I can't tell, the fox is quite small with a big tail."

There was obviously nothing wrong with these words, but once they fell into Ci Nian's ears, it seemed that everything was wrong!The little fox's face turned red, and after a while, he straightened his neck, grabbed a handful of fallen leaves, and threw them at the smiling person: "Don't look at it, and don't remember it after seeing it!"

He Qizhou hurriedly pushed his fan away to block the yellow leaves rushing towards his face, and laughed loudly: "It's not that it's not beautiful, why don't people see it! I not only watch you planing fallen leaves, I also watch you build a house for yourself , the house collapsed, you just came out to dig the hole, the hole was rounded, bigger than the moon in the sky..."

"Shut up!" Ci Nian blushed with embarrassment, he rushed forward and grabbed the fan, wishing he could stop He Qizhou's mouth, "You are talking nonsense! Who dug the hole! You are the only one who dug the hole! You know the joker all the time ..."

"That's what you're saying, you're not human." He Qizhou saw him pounce on him, saw the timing, stretched out his arms, and held the shy fox firmly in his arms.The embarrassing young man blushed, his ears were pulled back, and he looked extremely vigilant.Master He raised his hand, rubbed vigorously on the trembling hairy ears a few times, and then kissed Ci Nian's smooth forehead, "How can I laugh at you, you are so cute."

I don't like to hear the word cute, but when it comes out of He Qizhou's mouth, I can't understand it.He buried his head in the man's arms, and his ears drooped for a long time before slowly standing upright.With the tip of his nose pressed against the priest's white robe, he snorted twice, and said softly: "If you can't see it, you can't see it..."

"Don't let others see it, let me see it, isn't it okay?" He Qizhou began to discuss, "Little fairy, little fox? Let me see what's wrong, let me touch my ears, so what's wrong with touching my tail?"

It was not so much that Ci Nian was stingy, but He Qizhou who appeared suddenly surprised the unsuspecting Ci Nian.He has never let others see his original appearance, except for Granny Zhu who saved his life back then, he has never let anyone see himself as a fox.People always have strange thoughts about alien species, either in awe or fear.

He still doesn't know when to let He Qizhou see his furry appearance.

Seeing that he was silent, He Qizhou said again: "Okay, it's the Daoist's fault. He stood behind and didn't say hello, scaring the little god. Not only that, the Daoist even grabbed the little fox's tail, which is a heinous crime." After saying that, He put his hand in front of Ci Nian, and said sincerely: "Bite me to vent your anger?"

Ci Nian let out a laugh from his breath, slapped his hand away, and said, "You are not allowed to tell others..."

Seeing him smile, He Qizhou also smiled: "Who shall I tell?"

Resignation said: "General Qin, Master Xu, you are not allowed to tell!"

"Then... what you mean is that the tail in the future..." He Qizhou was eager to try.

"Not allowed!" Ci Nian didn't even think about it.

When He Qizhou heard this, there was a bit of disappointment in his eyes.Ci Nian has a sharp eye and a careful mind, he hesitated for a moment when he glanced at his appearance, after a moment of silence, he added coaxingly: "Occasionally..."

"Hey!" He Qizhou smiled, stuffed the pastry into Ci Nian's arms, and then stuffed Ci Nian into his own arms. He picked up people and ran away to the idiots who married wives in the neighboring villages. Ci Nian knew that he had been fooled, but he also knew that Words spoken are water spilled, and there is no reason to take them back.It's his own fault that he can't walk when he looks at He Qizhou. When this man frowned, he wished he could agree to everything...

Isn't it the tail!There's nothing wrong with it!

Autumn is strong.The fallen leaves that had been tidied up in the yard were scattered in all directions after the two made a fuss.

While Xi Nian was eating snacks, Ren He Qizhou combed his loose hair for him.He likes He Qizhou to comb his hair, but he doesn't know why He Qizhou, who combs his hair, can also enjoy it.He looked at the man's serious expression through the bronze mirror, and suddenly said, "Master Dao, is combing your hair so interesting?"

He Qizhou said frankly: "The interesting thing is to comb your hair."

Ci Nian snorted: "I remember, I didn't like to comb my hair back then, and you still offered delicious lures."

"What's the matter with combing your hair for you? It's not a loss if you can change it to something delicious..." Speaking of this, his tone suddenly became milder, "I was busy with palace affairs a few days ago, so I didn't spend much time with you. You're going to be bored if you're alone at home."

"Chang'an is so big, you can always have fun." Ci Nian said, "Are you done with your work now?"

He Qizhou said: "It's been a while since I've been busy. Brother Xu is doing well now. He became the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he often sees Miss Fu Jin. But that guy Qin Ge... there is no one around every day, so it's hard to find out what happened. thing."

Ci Nian raised his head and looked at him backwards. He Qizhou smiled, and wiped the pastry from the corner of his mouth for him: "Hundreds of years old, little fairy, why does food still stick to your face?"

Ci Nian said: "It doesn't matter where you are busy. Anyway, I am in this yard. You can see me as long as you come back. Otherwise, I can find you wherever you go. You can't lose it."

He Qizhou paused, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.He bent down, kissed Ci Nian's starry eyes like a dragonfly, and said: "Okay, I can't lose it. You are here, and I can always find it back."
