Chapter 172 Little Taoist, please let me go 9
She said she was scared...
The soft tone, like the whisper of a baby who has been wronged, fell into Youchen's ears.
A numb feeling of strangeness spread from the bottom of my heart, strange and novel.
For the first time in his life, Youchen felt a faint sense of regret and a bit of bitterness.
I shouldn't have left the little fox demon alone in the inn...
Youchen stretched out his hand and wanted to pat the little fox demon's furry ears.
The fingertips were stiff, paused in mid-air, and then withdrawn awkwardly.
“There won’t be a next time…”
His voice was deep and cold, carrying a hint of promise.
Even Youchen didn't know why he said this...
Jiang Zhi suddenly looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up, he couldn't believe that these words actually came from Youchen's mouth, the curve of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, he said
"I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."
You Chen pulled the corner of his mouth viciously---"Do you want to die?"
"It's so fierce."
Jiang Zhi muttered angrily, completely missing the dark glint in Youchen's eyes.
She clearly felt that Youchen's attitude towards her was different...
It seems that the self-torture tactic is still useful.
The next day, Jiang Zhi was sleeping soundly in the soft quilt, with a huge fiery red tail pressing on the back of his head as a pillow, and an unknown liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Two small ears emerge from the top of the thick black hair, which are soft and plush and feel great to the touch.
You Chen withdrew his hand guiltily and let it hang at his side. The soft touch seemed to still remain on his fingertips, and he rubbed it subconsciously a few times.
A blush crept up the tip of his ears, and Youchen coughed lightly, waking Jiang Zhi up from his sleep.
With sleepy eyes and disheveled hair, she doesn't look like a charming fox demon at all.
"You are not a fox demon, you are a pig demon..."
"You scolded me?"
Youchen suppressed his laughter and denied it flatly, "No, hurry up and wash up, we have to leave here."
Jiang Zhi half-deadly got up and asked in a hoarse voice
"Where are you going?"
"Yueyang City."
Youchen always thought that the Golden Toad Cave was the place where he and the little fox demon originated, but he didn't know that at the annual lantern festival in Yueyang City, the little fox demon hid on the roof of a tile-roofed house and looked at him for a long time through the stream and the crowd.
Youchen in this world is loved by his senior brothers and master, and is held in the palm of his hand. He is a child of destiny in everyone's eyes.
And all his misfortunes were brought about by Jiang Zhi...
The sharp claws pierced into his chest, and the innocent little Taoist priest fell into hell completely.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, and my face and hands were covered in sticky liquid.
Jiang Zhi saw the little Taoist priest stabbing the magic chain into the chest of a poor snake demon with an expressionless face.
She wanted to rush forward to stop him, but her toes seemed to be nailed into the soil, unable to shake Fenhao. She could only rush forward and shout while crying.
“No! No!”
Jiang Zhi woke up from his dream, and what caught his eye was a shaking beam top.
There was the sound of rolling wheels all around her, and she actually fell asleep in the carriage.
Her skirt was soaked with cold sweat and stuck tightly to her skin, and her legs were still shaking subconsciously.
Thinking of the scene in his dream, Jiang Zhi breathed heavily with lingering fear.
So true...
It was so real that it didn't seem like a dream. The immersive feeling made her feel scared and uneasy.
Thinking of the faint smell of blood on Youchen, an absurd guess emerged in Jiang Zhi's mind.
How many people did Youchen kill?
"Having a nightmare?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Zhi suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head, and forced a smile at the corners of his mouth, not realizing that his expression at the moment was different from that of an ordinary person.
Youchen's eyes were deep, with a hint of inquiry, glued to Jiang Zhi's pale little face.
Jiang Zhi held her breath, afraid that someone would notice something was wrong. It was not until Youchen looked away that she realized her palms were wet.
She was still careless. How could someone as cautious as Youchen not see through her own poor acting skills?
The reason why I was willing to act with her was just because of love.
This man, regardless of whether he has lost his memory or not, still loves me unconditionally.
Therefore, he must pay for the sin of murder he committed.
Yueyang City is located at the foot of the imperial city. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and smoke from cooking fires stretches for thousands of miles.
Jiang Zhi pushed aside the curtain with her white fingertips, and she seemed to see the scene in the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
Towering city walls, elegantly dressed nobles in boats and carriages, street vendors, and foreign merchants trading donkeys for horses...
Under the lantern, two figures cling to each other, and the faint sound of reading can be heard from the school. Women wash clothes by the river, and unmarried girls put on their flowers in front of the mirror.
The prosperous and peaceful scene is completely different from a few years ago.
Every inch of the scenery impacted Jiang Zhi's imagination. She could not hide her shock and just wanted to jump off the carriage immediately and immerse herself in the unparalleled charm of ancient times.
Youchen was half lying on the soft chair in the carriage, his brows delicate yet gloomy. He was leisurely fiddling with a mini chain tied around his knuckles. At the other end of the chain was Xiaobai, who looked like he had lost all hope in life.
Youchen lost interest in the fox and chose to play with the chicken.
Jiang Zhi didn't dare to beg for mercy. After all, it was already very difficult for Youchen to spare Xiaobai's life.
"Please loosen the chain. I think it's suffocating to death."
In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, so the old lady Jiang Zhi had to plead with Youchen.
Youchen glanced at her lightly without saying anything, but Jiang Zhi felt a chill on her back and immediately shut her mouth.
Can't afford to offend... Can't afford to offend...
Xiaobai pouted and almost cried.
Wow, it has to be the most pathetic system ever.
The carriage drove smoothly and finally stopped in front of a clinic.
The clinic was closed and the door was closed. Jiang Zhi saw a middle-aged woman in simple clothes sitting next to the stone lion, holding a child in her arms.
I'm afraid that I would travel thousands of miles to seek medical treatment, only to be turned away.
Jiang Zhi walked over, and the middle-aged woman immediately looked up, her face full of vigilance.
Jiang Zhi looked at the child in the woman's arms. He was sleeping soundly with his cute little mouth slightly open, but his cheeks were flushed, which was obviously abnormal.
Either heat stroke or fever.
Both conditions can be fatal for children.
Jiang Zhi sighed distressedly and asked softly, "What's wrong with him? Is he sick?"
The woman looked Jiang Zhi up and down, and seeing that she had an extraordinary temperament and the skirt she was wearing was made of high-quality fabric, she guessed that she was a daughter of an official.
The vigilance on her face faded a bit, and the woman's arms tightened around the child, her voice pleading.
"Please, Miss, please save my little treasure. He has a high fever. If we can't find a doctor, I'm afraid something serious will happen."
Before Jiang Zhi could answer, he saw Youchen leading Xiaobai to the door of the clinic and tapping his knuckles twice.
After two knocks, the door opened, as if someone had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing this, the woman immediately guessed that the two men must be acquainted with Doctor Huang. She knelt down in front of Jiang Zhi with a thud, her voice sharp and urgent.
"Please take us in with you!"
Jiang Zhi was startled and hurriedly grabbed the woman's arm, wanting to lift her up, but he was afraid of hurting the sleeping child, so he had to move gently.
"Don't be like this! Get up first, and let's talk it out, okay?"
The woman refused to listen. She held the child in one hand and tugged at Jiang Zhi's skirt with the other. "Please take us to see Doctor Huang! Xiaobao is dying of illness! If she dies, I won't live either!"
"Stop pulling my clothes! Can you please get up first?"
The woman was very strong. Jiang Zhi wanted to pull out her skirt, but found it was useless. She felt a huge sense of powerlessness in her heart.
She understood the mother's feelings at the moment.
But she couldn't accept the woman's behavior, which was moral blackmail, and she pulled her clothes and cried and made a fuss.
"I won't get up! I won't live if you don't take me in! I'm going to die with Xiaobao!"
Jiang Zhi's expression suddenly turned cold. "You go."
The woman's expression froze instantly. She couldn't believe what she heard. "You...what did you say?"
While the woman was stunned, Jiang Zhi pulled out his clothes and hid behind Youchen.
It was a close call, I almost got lost.
Youchen was very pleased with the little fox demon's subconscious dependence on the action, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a curve, but the words he said were not so pleasant.
"Will you meddle in other people's business again in the future?"
"meeting."
Decisive and without hesitation.
Youchen "....."
Jiang Zhi took the opportunity to flatter her and said with a flattering smile, "It's all because of you."
The young Taoist priest was so aroused that his mind was distracted, and a blush appeared on the tips of his ears. He was so innocent that it was unbelievable.
After the woman calmed down, she realized that her behavior was too extreme and sincerely apologized to Jiang Zhi.
"Miss, I'm sorry! I was so anxious that I lost my mind."
Jiang Zhi shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and tapped Youchen's back.
Youchen only felt a tingling sensation on his back, so comfortable that his whole body went limp.
Jiang Zhi pleaded softly, "Please take them in, please."
Youchen nodded uncomfortably, then added gravely, "When you want to help others in the future, learn how to protect yourself first."
"Oh, I see."
