little fox demon

Snow started falling in the morning.Until the evening, the sky did not see the sun.

The farmers went to bed early, and it was snowing again, so every family had already turned on the lights and went to sleep.

However, there is still one family in Anning Village whose oil lamps are still on.This is a small thatched house, and there is only Chu You in the family.Chu You is 17 years old this year. He looks gentle and elegant, and he is full of a strong bookish atmosphere.Because I will take the children's examination in the spring of next year, I am still studying hard.

"Crack." I don't know which dead branch was broken by the snow.Chu You raised his head from the scroll, touched his cold nose, and picked up the oil lamp with a bamboo stick to make its light brighter.

Xu Shi sat for a long time without moving, and his feet were a little stiff from the cold.

Chu You stood up from the chair and turned around on the ground, trying to make his body warmer.The whole house is not big, there is a small kitchen, a small hall for receiving guests, and a small bedroom for sleeping.

There is an earthen kang in the bedroom. The quilts on the kang have already been spread, and if you touch it with your hand, it is still warm, so it must be very comfortable to sleep on.

Not far from the kang, there is a desk and a chair.Chu You was reading there just now, and Chu You never reads on the warm earth kang. He thinks that it is cold underground and he can keep his head clear all the time.

Before he knew it, Chu You had already reached the door.For some reason, there was a strong desire to open the door and go out to have a look, as if something outside the door was calling him.

Chu You thought so, and did the same.

He went back to the room and picked up the oil lamp on the table, opened the door and went out.

Xue still had no intention of stopping, Chu You stood in front of the door for a while, protecting the faint candlelight with one hand, and walked slowly westward.

There is a barn to the west of the house, and next to the barn is a chicken rack, in which several chickens are raised.

The creaking sound of feet stepping on the snow is very pleasant.

From a distance, Chu You saw something vaguely visible in the space between the barn and the chicken rack.As he got closer, there was indeed something there, sort of like a man sitting on the ground, sort of like a dog.

Chu You was puzzled, as if looking around, there were not even half a footprint in the snow, maybe the thing had been there for a long time, and even the footprints were covered by snow.

Chu You walked even more hastily, the faint candlelight fluttered back and forth, but fortunately Chu You's hand was still protecting the oil lamp, so it didn't go out.

In a blink of an eye, Chu You had already walked up to that thing.It was a person, a person sitting on the ground with his face buried in his knees and his knees hugged.

Chu You didn't speak immediately. He raised the oil lamp higher and looked at the man suspiciously. This should be a foreigner, and he must have been frozen, and his body was shaking all the time.The light is always on in this room, why doesn't this man knock on the door?

Chu You looked carefully again, how could this man shrink into a ball like an animal?This idea flashed through Chu You's mind, and Chu You felt a little ridiculous.

Xu knew that someone was coming, and the man on the ground slowly stretched his body, straightened his back, and raised his face to look at Chu You.

A pair of big watery eyes caught Chu You's eyes. The owner of the eyes has a delicate little face and a small and exquisite mouth. This is a very beautiful boy.

Chu You looked down at him, and he looked up at him.

After a while, Chu You said something that he thought was quite absurd: "Are you a demon?"

After he finished speaking, he regretted it. He had read the poems and books of sages and sages, and his silence was strange. Why did he say such a sentence just now.

Unexpectedly, the boy nodded slowly towards him.

Chu You is worthy of being a scholar, and immediately thought of two more sentences-"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door", "The king of hell will let you die on the third watch, who dares to stay until the fifth watch".

He asked himself that he hadn't done anything wrong, even if it was a monster in front of him, he had nothing to be afraid of.What's more, this demon is clearly a young man, and he looks at him pitifully. His heart is softened, softer than the porridge boiled every morning.

"Are you cold?" The boy's clothes were thin, and he was huddled into a ball.

The boy nodded again: "Cold." His voice was soft and soft, very pleasant to hear.

"Come with me." Chu You turned around and walked in the direction of the house. The boy hesitated for a moment, but still followed him.

After stepping into the door, Chu You didn't go any further, and the boy didn't dare to go any further.Chu You found a place to put down the oil lamp in his hand, and closed the open door behind the young man to isolate the wind and snow outside.

The boy didn't dare to move, he just stood there.Chu You found a dust-cleaning broom and handed it to the young man. After the young man took it in a daze, he didn't know what Chu You meant, but he didn't dare to ask, so he just stared at the broom in a daze.

Chu You smiled, is this a demon?

Chu You said: "Use it to sweep the snow off your body."

"Oh, good." The young man agreed in a low voice, but he didn't dare to sweep too hard, he only swept away the snow in front of him, and the snow behind him couldn't reach after several attempts.

"Come here," Chu You took the broom in his hand, "Turn around."

The boy turned around again, and Chu You swept the snow off his back several times.

Chu You put the broom back to its original place, and the boy still didn't dare to move after sweeping the snow, and stood at the place where he had just come in.

Chu You looked at it, amused in his heart, why is this monster so dumb.

"Come in." Chu You picked up the oil lamp and led him into the house. The young master did not dare to look around after entering the house, but only stared at the field under his feet.

Chu You asked him to sit on the chair he was sitting on just now. The boy's back was straightened, his knees were close together, his hands were placed squarely on his knees, and he lowered his head, not daring to look around.

Another absurd idea came to Chu You's mind, why do you think that he is a human and you are a demon?Is there any monster who is so cautious when meeting people?

"Are you hungry?" Chu You thought that he must have been there for a long time, and he would not eat anything.

The boy nodded lightly, then said softly: "Hungry."

Chu You didn't ask him what he wanted to eat, and couldn't find out, so he rummaged through the box to find an oil lamp and lit it, and took it to the kitchen.

Not long after, a burst of food aroma wafted in.Immediately afterwards, Chu You came in with a bowl of hot soup noodles, clear soup and clear water, just like him.

It is quick to make noodles, and the body will warm up quickly after drinking some hot soup. Chu You also added an egg to the noodles that he was usually reluctant to eat.

Chu You put the noodles in front of the boy and said with a smile, "Eat."

The boy moved his nostrils, but did not eat right away. He paused for a while, but couldn't resist the aroma of the noodles, so he picked up a few noodles with his chopsticks.

Just when the noodles were about to be put into his mouth, the boy stopped suddenly, looked at Chu You and said thank you earnestly, then Fang picked up his chopsticks and started eating again.

Chu You thought in his heart, he is still a very civilized monster.

It seemed that the boy was extremely hungry, he ate up the noodles in a few mouthfuls, and there was not even soup left.

"Are you full?" Chu You asked looking at the empty bowl.

"I'm full." The young man replied in a low voice. After eating the noodles, his body was really warm, his face was flushed, and there were a few beads of sweat on his nose.

Chu You cleaned up the dishes and came back, the young man still maintained the posture he left.

Chu You walked closer to him, looked at him and said, "Are you afraid of me?"

"No, not afraid." The boy shook his head and replied.

Chu You smiled: "If you're not afraid, why don't you dare to look at me with your head down?"

Hearing this, the young man seemed to have made a big decision, and finally slowly raised his head to look at Chu You.

Chu You smiled again: "My name is Chu You, and my name is Lingjun. What's your name?"

"Bai Zhi," said the boy, "my name is Bai Zhi, I have no words." When Bai Zhi said the last sentence, her voice was too low to be heard.

"Bai Zhi," Chu You repeated, and asked again, "Just now you said you were a demon?"

"Well," Bai Zhi whispered, "I'm a fox." After finishing speaking, he looked at Chu You nervously, with his heart in his throat.

"How did you get here? Why didn't you knock, how long have you been out in the cold?"

Seeing that Chu You didn't ask too much about her identity as a demon, Bai Zhi let go of her hanging heart a little, and answered his words: "I have nowhere to go, so I just wandered outside. It's snowing too much today. , when it was getting dark, I wanted to take shelter from the snow there."

Chu You felt distressed for a while, this fool, if he hadn't gone out by himself, wouldn't he have to sit outside all night?I'm afraid it will freeze before dawn.

"Then why didn't you knock on the door? It was freezing outside?" Chu You asked again.

Bai Zhi whispered: "I'm afraid."

Chu You almost laughed out loud, monsters are still afraid of people?This is the first time I heard that people are afraid of monsters?

Chu You looked at the oil lamp on the table, it was almost time to burn out, so he said again: "I'll boil some water for you to take a bath, and then sleep again."

"Don't boil the water." Bai Zhi stopped Chu You from walking, "I won't wash."

Chu You thought about it but didn't refuse, fearing that monsters are not used to bathing: "Then go to sleep." Although Chu You's kang is not big, it is more than enough to sleep two people, but there is only one quilt, which is fine, he is a man , that's a male demon, all male, it's okay to make do with a quilt for one night.

"I don't sleep." Bai Zhi looked at her dirty clothes and immediately stopped her. As soon as she said the words, she realized that what she said was wrong, and explained, "I don't want to sleep there."

"Oh?" Chu You asked suspiciously, "There is no other place to sleep except here." There is only one chair in his house, which he used when he was studying, and he couldn't use the chair to build a bed to sleep on.

At this time of year, I can't sleep on the ground, and there is not even an extra quilt, and there is nothing to spread on the ground. Why is this little fox so shy?

Chu You thought he was embarrassed, so she came over and pulled him: "Let's go, it's getting late, go to bed quickly."

Bai Zhi pushed his hand away: "I won't go, you go to sleep. Me, I'll sleep on this chair."

Chu You smiled and said, "This chair is so big, how do you sleep? It's uncomfortable to sit and sleep."

Bai Zhi still pushed Chu You's hand straight: "Those who can sleep, those who can sleep, if you don't believe me, look." As he spoke, Chu You felt a white light flash in front of his eyes, and the boy who was in front of him just now had disappeared, and he looked at the chair again. A white fur fox.

The fox stretched out its forelegs, buried its face between its two forelegs, glanced at Chu You, and closed its eyes again.

It turned out that it was really possible to sleep on the chair, Chu You smiled, found a piece of clothing from the cabinet, covered Bai Zhi, blew out the candle, and went to sleep.
