Chapter 113 Buddha, please protect your little fox (25)
The little fox opened his sleepy eyes and rubbed them impatiently with his little paws.
When she saw who was in front of her, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Buddha...son of Buddha?!"
"It's me."
Jingchen curled his lips and his heart softened. The nervousness, fear, and tangled emotions all disappeared like smoke the moment he saw the little fox.
He bent down and tried to reach out and hug her.
The little fox dodged sideways, as if it had thought of something. Its furry little head suddenly drooped down, and even its ears curled up into two balls like grass that had experienced wind and rain.
"No... Buddha, you hate me. I don't want to appear in front of you anymore."
The pitiful little baby voice sounded extremely aggrieved.
After saying that, the little fox stretched out its paw, wiped its eyes, staggered to its feet from the ground, and was about to walk around Jingchen and leave.
After taking just two steps, the back of the fox's neck was restrained by a big hand, and the whole fox was pressed into a soft and pleasant-smelling embrace.
The temperature is scorching hot, with the unique sandalwood fragrance of Putuo Temple.
The little fox flapped its short legs and struggled, but was held even tighter.
It buried itself in Jingchen's arms and whispered softly
"Buddha... please let me go."
Jingchen hugged the little fox tightly, his chin resting on the soft fur, his voice slightly hoarse.
"Do you know how worried I am about you?"
Hearing this, the little fox was stunned for two seconds, a little bit unbelievable
"Buddha, you...you said you were worried about me?"
As soon as the words came out, the little fox shook his head to deny it.
"No, it's impossible. How could you possibly worry about me if you hate me so much, Buddha?"
The little fox struggled, his voice became heavier, and his expression was both cute and fierce.
"Let me go, I won't talk to you anymore."
Before he could even struggle, a cold and apologetic voice came from above his head.
"sorry."
Jingchen hugged it tightly and apologized devoutly over and over again
"I never hated you, ever."
"Really?"
The little fox raised his head from his arms, his eyes were red and he looked pitiful with tears in his eyes.
Jingchen's heart itched, and his voice softened a little.
"Um."
A smile finally appeared on the little fox's aggrieved face.
It curled its lips proudly, and still had a little temper in its heart.
"I don't believe it."
Jingchen curled her lips gently, bent down and asked softly
"How can you believe me?"
The little fox raised his head, thought for a while, and said
"Then, I want to eat the candied haws from the west of the city, the sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes from the south of the city, the big meat buns from the east of the city, and the rock sugar and snow pear soup from the north of the city."
After saying that, the little fox curved his eyes, which were full of cunning and indulgence.
Jingchen chuckled and reached out to gently pinch the little fox's chubby face.
"You're trying to torture me to death, huh?"
The little fox hummed softly, "Then are you going or not?"
"Let's go, little greedy fox."
After saying that, Jingchen stood up holding the little fox and walked towards the bustling market.
The market at the foot of Mount Putuo is neither big nor small.
After Jingchen took Chen Yuan shopping, the sun had already set.
The owner of the sugar-coated rice cake stall told them that there would be a grand lantern festival in the city today.
In recent days, mountain torrents have broken out everywhere and Japanese pirates have been rampant, so the people spontaneously held this lantern festival to bless Daliang with peace.
Jingchen saw the little fox was very interested and asked
"Want to go?"
The little fox nodded, his voice light and cheerful.
"Yeah, since it's a lantern festival, it must be very lively and there will be lots of delicious food!"
Jingchen raised his eyebrows, looked at her round belly, and teased
"Not full yet?"
The little fox stuck out his tongue sheepishly. "I'm growing."
"Yes, yes, little fox, you are already five hundred years old, but you are still a baby who needs to grow."
Jingchen rubbed her head lovingly, with satisfaction and joy in his narrow eyes.
*
A whole year has passed since the last Lantern Festival.
The people living at the foot of Mount Putuo have been looking forward to this Lantern Festival for a long time, so they have made extra preparations.
As the night fell, the moon hung high in the sky, casting a bright shadow on the surface of the Putuo River.
Colorful lanterns are hung all over the tiled eaves, and many lotus lanterns are flowing quietly in the endless Putuo River.
From a distance, it looks like entering the bustling New Year's Eve. Every brick and tile has the unique charm of Daliang's heyday.
Chen Yuan was like a baby bird out of the nest, full of curiosity about everything.
She was wearing a bright red gauze dress, a fox mask on her fair and delicate face, and her black hair hung down, fluttering in the night wind.
She doesn't look like a girl wearing a fox mask, but more like a real vixen.
Although the mask covered her charming facial features, it still attracted passers-by to stop and look back.
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyes out."
"A young girl like you, with a handsome young man beside her, would she fall for a fat pig like you?"
A fierce-looking aunt grabbed her husband's ear and dragged him home.
The sleeves were moved down, revealing the tendons on the arms, which were obviously the result of years of "exercise".
Jingchen took every precaution and kept a close eye on the little fox, but he still couldn't prevent a fish from slipping through the net and sneaking up to the little fox to show its affection.
"Miss...I'm Wang Dacheng, the son of the owner of the Wang family pawnshop in the north of the city. This is the lantern I begged for, and I'm giving it to you."
The man in front of him had an ordinary face and seemed to be from an ordinary family, but his clothes were very luxurious and he had a jade pendant hanging around his waist, which showed that he came from a good family.
At this moment, a faint blush appeared on his face, and he looked at Shen Yuan expectantly, his hand holding the lantern trembling with nervousness.
Jingchen was like facing a formidable enemy. Just as he was about to take a step forward to separate the two of them, he heard the innocent and soft voice of the little fox.
"Lantern? Is this thing that looks like a little rabbit a lantern?"
Wang Dacheng scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"Yes, I asked the marriage goddess for this under the Weaver Girl tree. I'm giving it to... my future daughter-in-law."
Shen Yuan tilted her head, seemingly not understanding what the wife meant. She looked at the lantern in Wang Dacheng's hand, her voice soft and obedient.
"This little rabbit is so cute, so soft and adorable. Do you really want to give it to me?"
After saying that, she stretched out her fingertips and touched the little rabbit's red nose, her eyes full of love.
Wang Dacheng's face turned even redder. "Yes...I think girls are just like this little rabbit, very cute and beautiful."
Unexpectedly, Shen Yuan was a little dissatisfied after hearing this. She snorted softly and said to Wang Dacheng seriously:
"I'm not a rabbit spirit, I'm a fox spirit, a super beautiful fox... ah."
Before Shen Yuan could finish her words, her mouth was covered by a big hand.
Jingchen looked unhappy and dragged her away.
"Hey! Girl!"
Wang Dacheng saw Chen Yuan about to leave and was about to chase after him.
Jingchen paused slightly, turned his head, and glanced at him coldly.
Wang Dacheng was immediately frightened and stood there in a daze.
Chen Yuan was shackled in Jing Chen's arms, unable to move. After finally poking her head out, she yelled in dissatisfaction.
"Ugh..let me go, my rabbit lantern!"
"Shut up!"
