Volume 1 Huangquan December, Chapter 83: Bi Meng Silent
That night was particularly lively, not because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but because the princess was missing.
Gray Fox looked at the chaos from a distance, with the roar of people, until something happened. He sniffed the faint breath left in the wind, and ran all the way to the Central Plains. Until the breath became thinner and thinner, passing by two streams of water
Finally, he couldn't smell anything. He was very tired, and there were blood blisters on his paws, but it didn't hurt at all. He just wanted to know where the princess had gone. But he couldn't walk, so he just lay there.
On the bed, his body heaved violently with his breath.
Several eagles hovering in the night sky finally landed on the ground and surrounded him. He wanted to try to stand up. If he continued to lie here, he would definitely be eaten by these guys.
But they didn't have any intention of attacking. One of the eagles raised its wings and pointed in a direction.
The gray fox forced himself to stand up. He raised his hand and moved his front paws, turning into slender human fingers. For the first time, he ran on the grassland in a human posture. He felt that his body was so thin that it almost melted into the night.
.Several eagles soared into the sky,
The air led him the way. The wind chased him from behind, lifting him up and making his steps light. Many fireflies in the grass also led him. After an unknown period of time, the familiar scent became strong and mixed with it, making him feel light.
Uneasy stuff.
The taste of blood.
He saw a stomach-churning picture. Everything about the worst, darkest, filthiest, and filthiest aspects of human nature was vividly displayed in this poor little girl.
He never thought this would happen.
It was so cold during the Mid-Autumn Festival, really. He rushed over, but he knelt on the ground beside her, unable to stand up. The clothes she didn't have were taken away, and he wanted to hug her and keep her warm.
Some, but I dare not. She is so fragile, it seems that she will turn into dust with the slightest touch and go away with the wind.
"You, you are here..."
She stretched out her hand tremblingly and touched his face gently. Her fingertips were cold and light, like snow in winter. He was surprised, and with a trembling tone, he asked her if she... knew who she was.
.
Her hand moved higher and touched his furry, soft ears. Only then did he realize that he had unintentionally revealed his prototype. He had no intention of maintaining his human appearance, and just said in a trembling voice:
"I, you... look at me, I can become a human, I can... I, I have become powerful, just wait for me to give you luck, you will be fine, and you can go home...
I'll take you away, I'll take you home..."
His mind was confused and he didn't know what to do. But before he could think of a way, the princess slowly stretched out her other hand and held the bracelet tightly in her hand. He stretched out his hand to take it and held it carefully.
With.
"Take it back," she said softly, "Take it home... I don't want to go to the Central Plains anymore. I also want to... also want to go home. But..."
"I'll take you back," he screamed loudly, "I'll take you! You must be fine, I'll help..."
Her hands relaxed and she lost all energy.
He was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul, tightly clutching the bracelet that his mother had left for her. By the time he found the group again, it was almost dawn.
He was immersed in great grief along the way, and had no idea how to tell those people. When he came to the familiar tent where he often shuttled, he murmured cursingly:
"That group, that group of Central Plains people..."
When the guard saw him, he shouted in surprise:
"Princess Princess!"
He was in a daze and didn't know why he said that.
Hearing the guard's voice, everyone looked over. They all looked surprised and gathered around, crying and laughing, shouting loudly that the princess was back.
He looked at the bracelet on his hand blankly, wondering why they said that.
Almost everyone was immersed in the great joy of regaining something, and they rushed to tell each other, but he felt baffled. His grief was so insignificant, drowned in the noise of the crowd, like a drop of ink scattered into a rushing river.
Some people kept asking him where he was and how he was doing, and some people stopped them. He stuttered a little and didn't know what to say. He just kept cursing the three businessmen in a low voice. At this point, they seemed to understand something.
He didn't dare to ask any more questions. Someone helped him get a basin of water and wiped his face clean. Finally, everyone dispersed and stayed outside the camp, leaving him alone, saying that they were waiting for the clan leader who went out to find the princess to come back.
He stared blankly into the basin, waiting for the small ripples to calm down.
He suddenly understood.
The face that appeared in the water turned out to be the young face of the princess.
He put his hand on his face and touched it in surprise, and even he was startled. Maybe he missed her too much, or maybe it was the influence of the aura on the bracelet. He was not proficient in the art of incarnation, and he didn't know it.
He suddenly became like her. Just when he was surprised, the veteran patriarch rushed into the tent and stared at him with mixed emotions.
Then, he hugged his "daughter" fiercely. The hug almost made her breathless.
"Dad thought, dad thought even you wanted to..."
what to do.
As for the corpse of the princess, he ran back the next night. At that time, a group of eagles and many animals were surrounding the corpse. Foxes, wolves, eagles, rabbits, sheep... many animals that were natural enemies.
He protected her peacefully. It wasn't until he rushed over that they gave way to him one by one. He cremated her with fox fire and quietly collected some ashes and put them in a jar.
Since then, Gray Fox has been living like a princess.
This is the story of Tartar.
The Tartar girl in front of her is not the princess, the princess has died long ago.
"If you want me to tell you why I live like this until now...I don't know. I just follow the example of those little girls of the same age, and every once in a while, I make myself look taller and older. Although it is a bit troublesome,
But it won’t reveal the truth.”
"If what you said is true," Mu Wan paused, "I hope... it's false."
"I've been thinking about when these days will end. Human life is so short, maybe I don't have to act for too long at all. As far as the demon is concerned, this is just a moment of fun. What am I trying to do to comfort you?
Are her family members trying to comfort themselves? I can't say that. When I think about my long life, I just treat it as killing time."
I don’t know how many years the fox demon had been practicing when she was young, but Tartar has truly grown up to now, and this period of time may be more real.
He continued: "It's just that I met you in this short period of time... Of course, I didn't expect that someone would suddenly break the balance of everything. It's not a bad thing, it's just that I didn't expect it. I didn't expect that it would happen again."
There are foreigners who have such peaceful contact with us. After all, they will never look good on you again after that."
The tribesmen didn't know exactly what happened that day, but they didn't mention it and avoided Tartar, so they probably guessed a thing or two. To a certain extent, it was naturally not as tragic as the dead princess, but it was equally bad in nature.
They were very happy that their princess could be restored to what she is now.
However, only he knew that she would never come back.
"...Even so, I'm sorry." Shan Hai looked at him, "It is indeed my long-cherished wish for humans and monsters to coexist harmoniously. But deep down in your heart, you still have strong hostility towards the entire human race. I cannot sit idly by.
"
"Don't worry about it, Shanhai." Aluan pulled him, "Isn't this good?"
Mu Wan was a little hesitant and didn't know what to say. Emotionally speaking, she naturally hoped that Tartar Ji would continue to pretend to be the princess and live peacefully with her people. But rationally, she knew clearly that Shanhai's
This is the right statement. Leaving such monsters behind and living in such an exclusive ethnic group will indeed lead to endless troubles.
"I know your concerns," he said quietly, "I am also very grateful that you are willing to listen to me tell this boring story. I don't want to fight with you, so I have already thought about it...if I really meet you.
Such a traveler, I think, I am willing to leave."
Shi Wuqi, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know. It can be anywhere, maybe the green water and green mountains elsewhere, maybe the Central Plains... I think she is still yearning for that colorful place. I want to see it for her."
Tartar put on her beautiful little hat again. She stood up and walked out the door.
"You, are you leaving now... This is too sudden. It's the first day I met you."
Aluan was a little reluctant to let go. That story touched her too much, but she couldn't say anything.
"My child, don't be sad. This world is just a place where people come and go, and everyone is just a passer-by."
They followed him out, and many of the guards outside were still asleep. He walked calmly, occasionally looking up at the moon in the sky, and occasionally looking back at them. He finally smiled, walked silently, and never looked back until
The little figure with four tails dancing completely blended into the dark night.
"But..." Aluan frowned, "How can we tell the clan leader that your princess is a vixen?"
"..."
It's over.
"They are about to wake up." Shi Wuqi looked back, "The princess's bracelets and ashes are in the tent, and since there are already rumors in the clan, let them realize it themselves. I think their horses are good.
Let's hold him some more now and run through the night... Liangqiu comes with me, I can't hold him alone."
"……oh."
In the horse pen, the two quickly picked the horse and prepared the reins.
Mu Wan whispered: "How come I feel like repaying kindness with revenge..."
"Say less. Do you know what I saw when I touched the ashes?"
"What?"
"I saw the fox piercing its fangs into the princess's flesh. The ashes are indeed hers, but... who can say for sure. Look at those four tails, who knows where the demonic power comes from? Fox demons are inherently cunning.
, I can’t believe him.”
"Varied--"
"Keep your voice down, don't alert others...and don't tell Shan Hai, it will only make things more complicated. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, leave quickly."
Shi Wuqi led the two horses away, leaving Mu Wan standing there, stunned and speechless.
It was as if the story was just an illusory dream.
