"Don't like to eat?"
Chu Qi squatted beside, holding the bowl and took a mouthful of noodles. Seeing that the fox didn't seem to be very satisfied with the food, she asked helplessly.
The fox's ears drooped, and it nudged Chu Qi's arm with its head, looking longingly at the meat strips hanging at the door of the noodle shop.
That is the half-cooked pork made by the store. When customers order noodles, they just cut a little bit if necessary, chop it up and add it to the noodles.
A bowl of noodles costs three cents, and noodles with minced meat costs five cents.
A whole pork...
To be honest, it’s better to buy it directly from the meat vendor.
Even if you have money, you can't be so extravagant, Chu Qi thought miserably, stroking the fox's ears and whispering:
"Try it. We humans can eat it, so why can't you, an animal, eat it?"
The fox's ears trembled sensitively, and it tilted its head slightly, staring at Chu Qi. When it heard that people could be eaten, a strange look flashed in its clear eyes.
It lowered its head, opened its mouth and licked the soup. Then it shivered from the scald and tried to cool its tongue like a dog exhaling.
Chu Qi was shocked. Oh no, I forgot about this.
She quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and poured a small half cup of cold water for the fox to drink.
"Forget it, I'll feed you."
Chu Qi picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, blew on it, and put it to the fox's mouth.
The fox raised his eyes, tears welling up in his eyes, and carefully opened his mouth to eat the noodles.
After Chu Qi fed him patiently, he started to eat his own food.
Later, the soup was not so hot anymore, so the fox leaned over and drank half a bowl of soup.
My stomach is slightly swollen from eating.
Squinting his eyes, the fox slowly jumped onto Chu Qi's donkey cart and curled himself up into a ball, as if planning to take a nap.
Chu Qi also finished her noodles as quickly as possible and then sat in the front room of the donkey cart.
Zhao Shi had been waiting for her for a long time. When he saw her finally get on the car, he sighed:
"Mr. Chu, you are so kind to your pet. You even feed it yourself."
"The little fox can't stand the heat, so you have to feed it yourself."
Chu Qi smiled.
Zhao Shi nodded: "Mr. Chu is right. I have something to say that is presumptuous. I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Chu Qi glanced at him and said jokingly:
"Then I won't tell you."
Zhao Shi: “…”
After the donkey cart had traveled for a while, he sat depressedly beside the driver, supporting his cheek with one hand, making his cheek puff up like an angry puffer fish.
After a while, he couldn't hold it in any longer and chose to speak:
"Mr. Chu, I want to ask, is the Jiang girl in your story based on this fox?"
If this fox is the prototype of Jiang Nu, then the scholar in the story must be Mr. Chu himself, right?
Zhao Shi was extremely excited about his own association.
He didn't know what was going on in his mind, perhaps he was possessed. No matter how he looked at it now, he felt that the fox was not a simple fox.
Chu Qi heard this and sneered:
"How is that possible? My story happened before I met Xiao Hong. My connection with her started with a rabbit that hit itself to death."
Zhao Shi was a little curious and asked some more details, and Chu Qi told him one by one.
He was a little discouraged and said naively:
"Mr. Chu, are there really gods in this world? Like Yun Fan?"
Yun Fan is the hero of Chu Qi's new story "Xiu Xian: A Mortal's Journey to Immortality".
Because the story has a grand worldview and the main storyline is interspersed with countless side stories, it took a year and a half to finish.
This story brought Chu Qi greater benefits than the previous two. As early as half a year ago, her monthly dividends were as high as more than one hundred silver ingots.
This also made the Ye family an invisible wealthy family in Zhang Village and even in the entire Zhang County.
"How could there be gods in the world? They are all made up."
Chu Qi breaks Zhao Shi's fantasy.
Zhao Shi was disappointed: "Well, I thought Mr. Chu was one of the immortals who came to the mortal world to experience tribulations."
Obviously, this is an ancient version of a middle school boy who was deeply poisoned by the content of the story.
The donkey cart moved forward steadily without any incident.
Twenty days later, the group had already left Zhang County for a long time, and were now probably in Nan County.
But the examination location is in the center of Nan County, and it will take at least more than a month for everyone to get to the center.
That day, everyone stopped at a place called Lanruo Town.
As evening approached, the sun set in the west, and the warm yellow setting sun illuminated the roads and some houses in the town.
The sunset was infinitely warm, but the atmosphere in the small town was truly weird.
The doors of almost all the houses in the town were closed, and there was no one on the streets.
If that were all, there would be nothing to be afraid of.
What’s scary is that every household hung a white banner with a big, long word “Sorrow” written on it.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, blowing on the scholars and servants, like the soft whispers of lovers, making people's bodies suddenly covered with bumps.
Zhao Shi swallowed his saliva and broke the silence first:
"The people in this town... go to bed pretty early."
A fellow scholar wiped his nonexistent sweat:
"Yes...it's quite early."
Chu Qi held the fox in one hand and held the rope that restrained the donkey in the other, frowning slightly.
"Are you still resting here tonight?"
Zhao Shi looked at Chu Qi.
Near Lanruo Town, there are endless mountains. When night falls, the wild beasts that hide during the day and come out at night in the mountains will wake up completely.
Among them are poisonous creatures such as snakes.
Resting outside the town is obviously not a good option.
"Why not clean it up on the street?" Chu Qi thought for a moment and suggested.
Zhao Shi had no objection.
Among the scholars who traveled together, in addition to the ones who traveled with Chu Qi and Zhao Shi at the beginning, there were five others who they met on the road.
Although these people were not familiar with everyone at first, they became enthusiastic after hearing Chu Qi's name.
They are also fans of Chu Qi's books.
Since they are all fans, they are more convinced by Chu Qi’s words.
No one commented on having to sleep outside on the streets.
Besides, the atmosphere in this town is really weird...
If someone dies, it is understandable to hang a white banner, but if every household hangs a white banner...
No one wants to knock on the door and get into trouble.
In fact, many people have decided to leave here as soon as it gets light.
The fox, who had always been well-behaved, was now slightly furred in Chu Qi's arms. Its sharp claws were scratching Chu Qi's arms, and its nose was sniffing something.
"take it easy."
Chu Qi stroked the fox's fur and then climbed back into the carriage first.
A number of donkey carts were parked on the street, and all you could see were donkeys.
For a moment, it strangely blended into the atmosphere of the small town.
Entering the carriage, the curtains blocked the outside world.
The fox relaxed a little after Chu Qi's comfort. It whimpered softly and arched Chu Qi's belly, looking extremely anxious.
Chu Qi's keen five senses also sensed something.
She silently took out the paper, ground the ink, poured in cinnabar, cut her fingertips and squeezed out two drops of blood to mix them together.
