Xiao frowned, took his paw away from her chest, and glanced at She Ji.
He didn't seem surprised.
That's right. For this human boy, finding it interesting is his code of conduct. Even if he has to pay a huge price for these things, as long as he thinks it is worth it, he will never hesitate.
"Well, in this one life, the burden is indeed smaller than what he has endured. But you have to know that this is also a very long life, and it is still a huge pressure for a human child like you. What's more, do you really want to Understand? What he went through may not be of much value to you."
"I've made up my mind!"
The words coming out of this child's mouth rarely sounded so firm. Xiao didn't say anything and just did as he was told. A similar scene happened again to Xiao Liuwu. But his endurance was obviously not as good as She Ji's. During the process, he kept making uncontrollable screams of pain. She Ji probably wanted to interfere, but in the end he did nothing. When it was all over, the human boy's body was overwhelmed and he fell into a coma.
She Ji picked him up and turned around without changing his expression. Ye Xuici glanced in Xie Zhe's direction, forced out a smile, waved, and prepared to follow She Ji and leave.
"Girl, wait a minute." Xiao threw the fragment of the mirror over. Ye Xuici didn't look back, but raised his hand to catch it. She was as familiar with this fragment as she was with her own limbs.
"Is there anything you want to know?"
"...You owe it to me. I'll use it to call you when I need it."
After that, she continued to walk forward, hiding a tired smile with her thin back.
A confused day ended in such a ridiculous way. They returned to the igloo together, took a short rest, and compiled and supplemented the information they knew to each other. Scattered snowflakes gradually began to float outside, and the sky became darker. When Xie Zhe's discussion came to an end, Wenying finally took the opportunity to bring up the topic that he had suppressed for a long time.
She wants to get out of here.
This is not a matter of one or two days. For a fox demon, she is at a playful age and is full of curiosity about everything in the world. Moreover, at this age, she is considered to be strong and should indeed enter the world. Grandma Fox claimed that she did not need her constant care, which also made her yearn for the outside world even more.
Unfortunately, Han Chang was unwilling to take her away no matter what.
For this reason, the two brothers and sisters had a big quarrel. To Xie Zhe's surprise, Han Chang barely had a good conversation with Wenying, and wanted to use his authority as an elder brother to forcibly control his sister's will. It's not like him, he never does. No matter Xie Zhe or Ye Lingyu, even after Jiao Mo got to know him, he had never been so tough and arrogant towards anyone. Wenying was naturally unconvinced and said she wanted to complain to her grandma. Han Chang then laughed at her, thinking that when he was old enough to go out and make a living, if he had to hide behind the old man when something trivial happened, could this be regarded as being on his own? So Wenying was so angry that she ran far away from home. It was already dark, and there was a heavy snowfall. The frozen soil that had not been exposed to the air for long had accumulated a thin layer of snowflakes, like a soft wool carpet. The light in the room illuminated a row of small fox footprints outside, extending into the darkness beyond the reach of the eye.
Xiao sighed and smiled at everyone. Han Chang's breathing was not steady, and he said apologetically:
"My sister-in-law has always been a little willful. I have troubled you to take care of her for so long."
"To say that it is a little willful." Xiao shrugged, "But it's nothing. This matter is your family matter, and I don't intend to speak for anyone. But if the child runs far away, although he won't If she encounters any danger, but if no one goes to find her, I'm afraid she will be even more angry."
"...Oh, I'm so sorry."
Han Chang bowed slightly to Xiao, who waved his hand, walked out of the door, and followed the footprints. Mr. Shuangyue, who did not participate much in the discussion, also followed up and said to several people in the room at the door:
"I will also go and persuade her. Although there are still important matters at hand, I have also caused a lot of trouble to Miss Wenyingying in the past few days. For reasons of love and reason, I should talk to her more."
"This child is so stupid," Han Shan couldn't stop shaking his head. "If she had been smarter and recognized the two women she had received as Evil Angel and Mi Yin, things wouldn't be as troublesome as they are now."
"No one expected this kind of thing. Don't take your anger out on her. No matter who encounters this kind of thing, even if they can see through the other party's identity, they don't know how to deal with it. As Xiao said, this is your... Family matters.”
"Thank you for your consideration."
Mr. Shuangyue nodded, left the igloo, and closed the door. The cold air and snowflakes that poured into the house were isolated, and the remaining coolness made people forget that it was almost summer. Everything that was happening now seemed as if that extremely cold winter day had never ended.
Xie Zhe and Jiao Mo stayed in the house, looking at Han Shang helplessly. He was discouraged, and there was no anger on his face anymore, only endless sadness remained. The reunion should have been joyful, but who would have thought that within a few days, the brother and sister would end up like this.
"We know you are worried about her," Xie Zhe sat across from him, "We also know that you don't want her to make this decision just because of the warm wine. After all, people of this age, whether male or female, They are all easily impulsive. Didn’t even Miss Ling Huan take risks for the sake of her cousin? It’s just..."
"It's just that we still hope that you can be more patient with her." Jiao Mo followed Xie Zhe and said.
"That's right, aren't you brothers and sisters? What can't you say properly? Aren't you very patient with Miss Ling Huan? On the contrary, you can't be patient with your own sister at all."
Han Zhang slapped the table, not very hard, just to vent his anger. He took a deep breath, put his hands on his temples and said:
"It is precisely because we are brothers and sisters... that I find her difficult to discipline. After losing her parents, with the help of Grandma Wenjiu, I acted as half of her father. It is appropriate to be stricter. After all, she grew up in a On the road, not all problems can be solved by talking nicely. Sometimes, only by being fiercer can she know what she should do and what shouldn't be done. I know it's very difficult to say "it's all for your own good" with a shy face. It's ridiculous, but you can never truly understand us unless you are in my position. I don't hesitate to use my brother's authority to stop her because I know that with a personality like hers, she will really get into trouble just to warm the wine! If She just wants to see the world briefly, can I not allow it? Besides, not only the matter of warming the wine, the affairs of the Tengu, the affairs of the Rebellion, and even the matter of finding Kanna-kun, none of it is that simple. To take a step back, just To deal with evil spirits, I will never allow her to step out of the house!"
"You are so arbitrary, I didn't expect that." Xie Zhe muttered.
"What if? Evil is rampant in this world. If she goes out alone to go her own way, I won't be able to let go. What's more, she will definitely run around to warm the wine. But if she goes with us, I won't necessarily have the confidence. Protect her. Although she has rich spiritual power, she has no experience in using it flexibly. I had this confidence, but what happened to sister Ling Huan... made me doubt myself even more. If I lose her again, how should I face it? Parents under the underworld..."
Xie Zhe couldn't help but get choked up when he mentioned Ling Yu. Han Chang's tone gradually weakened, which forced Xie Zhe to cheer up again. He gathered his thoughts, sat upright and said:
"...Don't try to be a hero. I know that the problem of the evil messenger is a problem that I need to face alone, and you are willing to accompany me to go on, I know it. Even if it is not for me, it is for the entire world. Peace, stability in the entire world.”
"You are overthinking," Han Chang interrupted him suddenly, "I'm sorry, I really don't have such a broad mind as you... I must admit that I am willing to help you, in addition to the personal friendship during this period, but also for me family. As Master Lintian said at that time, the common people are you and me, everyone around us. I am not doing it for the common people in the world, but simply want to keep my sister, my brother, and me. My brother’s grandmother, and every friend I have in this world. Since you are the common people, I should fight against all evils for the sake of the common people. Maybe God gave me the power of the nine tails just to do these things that no one wants to do. Let's do it. And for you, my words are harsher - but just human beings want to be enemies of many evils in the world. To be honest... I think it is ridiculous and very respectable. From the beginning, this is how I thought .”
Xie Zhe's throat was a little dry and he didn't know what to say. Although I had such a suspicion in my heart, after Han Chang confirmed it personally, I still had mixed feelings. He couldn't say anything, he just nodded heavily to let Han Chang know that he understood everything. Jiao Mo, who was sitting on the side, still frowned slightly, but still showed a relieved smile.
"But, having said that, although your original intention is right, you are still too impatient. Your impatience made you angry before asking Miss Yingying without saying anything clearly. You have been separated from her for a long time. , everything she has experienced and everything she thinks can be understood without having to say it?"
"...That's all, it's my fault." Han Chang actually admitted his impulsiveness, "I always subconsciously think: 'You are my biological sister, how can you not know what I am thinking and who I am for? What?' In this way, I forgot the part that must be explained. But I am still afraid that even if I explain it clearly to her, it will not help."
Speaking of this, all he could see was helplessness in his eyes.
