Zong Yao followed Yun Wuzhen on the street in a daze, still recalling the previous kiss in his mind.
Until the feeling of hunger in his stomach brought his thoughts back to reality.
Zong Yao: "Shall we go have breakfast?"
Yun Wuzhen: "Okay."
Zong Yao, who was familiar with the road, led Yun Wuzhen towards the breakfast stall near the pier. He has been sailing everywhere all year round and is familiar with the docks in every city. He knows which stall is clean and which stall is delicious.
Palm.
"What do you want to eat?" Zong Yao asked.
"Chicken porridge." Yun Wuzhen himself rarely comes to such a small stall. He likes exquisite food and is afraid of getting upset after eating on the roadside. But with Zong Yao, this has never happened once, and Yun Wuzhen also
Gradually realize the fun of eating at roadside stalls.
Zong Yao took him to find a porridge shop, but found that there was a shop selling chicken drumsticks nearby. It was Southern Xia braised chicken drumsticks. The salty smell wafted straight over from a distance of more than ten meters.
"Chicken legs, chicken drumsticks, tender and delicious braised chicken drumsticks, the queen said they are delicious!" the boss hawked in a Southern Xia accent.
"Queen? Hang Shiqi?" Yun Wuzhen laughed out loud when he heard this title: "He really likes the taste. Just buy some as a meeting gift for him."
Yun Wuzhen said this and wanted to buy all the chicken legs in the shop that day. Unexpectedly, he was refused by the stall owner:
"We can sell you five at most, and you have to leave some for other customers. Our shop is doing very well, and there are people queuing up every day. You came early today, and there will be more people in a while."
"Then five." Yun Wuzhen didn't mind and asked casually, "Does the boss know Hang Shiqi very well?"
The boss smiled honestly and handed the packed chicken drumstick to Yun Wuzhen: "That's too familiar. The queen patrol loves my chicken drumsticks and often comes to buy them. Maybe she'll be here soon."
Yun Wuzhen took the chicken leg and paid for it. Suddenly, a white shadow came out from behind and plunged into Yun Wuzhen's arms. He thrust and rubbed, very enthusiastically.
"Hey!" Yun Wuzhen was startled, and when he was about to push away, he found that the other party looked very familiar: blue eyes, three fires, exactly the animal form of Hang Shiqi: "Why did you run out in your animal form?
"
"Ha ha ha ha." The husky flicked his tongue, put his front paws on Yun Wuzhen's waist, and kept patting his hand holding the drumstick with his head.
"Seventeen?" Yun Wuzhen was a little confused, whether Hang Shiqi was too enthusiastic about him, but he quickly attributed this to the fact that the other party must be too happy to see him.
Yun Wuzhen leaned down and took the opportunity to rub the husky's head: "I know you are happy, but if you pounce on me like this, Ao Wu will see that you must have misunderstood. Besides, I am also a family man now, Zong Yao still
Here, can you pay attention, huh?"
When the husky heard the word "seventeen", he raised his head, then swung his tail harder, pulled Yun Wuzhen's clothes with his front paws, put them on his chest, and licked his face violently, making him confused.
Half of his face was covered in saliva.
"Hey!" This was a bit too much. Even though Yun Wuzhen had a good temper, he was a little angry now.
"Longevity! Come back soon." A young man from the Crane tribe in a crow-blue robe walked over quickly. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the situation in front of him, and then apologized skillfully: "I'm sorry that I didn't take good care of it and caused you trouble.
...Uh, Little Prince Yun?"
He was so surprised that he didn't realize that he called him the wrong name.
Yun Wuzhen didn't care about this detail. He focused all his attention on the Husky. He took the handkerchief from Zong Yao and wiped his face blankly, and asked: "What did you say his name was?"
"Long life." The young man from the Crane tribe repeated.
"Changsheng? Isn't he Hang Shiqi?" Yun Wuzhen felt that the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
As if he knew he was being called, the husky raised his neck and howled.
"It's a long story. Maybe you can ask Hang Shiqi yourself. This is indeed his dog. I came here just to bring Changsheng to you." When the young man of the Crane tribe said this, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of his dog.
Smiling bitterly. He thought it was a simple errand, but he didn't expect that this little ancestor would torment him to death along the way.
"His dog?" Yun Wuzhen thought thoughtfully, and finally remembered that Hang Shiqi seemed to have said before that he was one soul with two souls: "You mean he gave the animal form to another soul in his body, his dog,
longevity?"
"That's it." The young man from the Crane tribe nodded.
Yun Wuzhen finally figured out the situation. But suddenly he felt that his hands were empty. He looked down and took advantage of everyone's inattention. With lightning speed, he snatched the bag of chicken legs from Yun Wuzhen's hand.
I saw him holding the bag in his mouth, running wildly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Yun Wuzhen and the young man from the Crane tribe looked at each other and were about to chase him when Zong Yao called out to them: "Don't worry, he can't run far. I have a way to find him. I can learn to howl like a wolf."
Changsheng grabbed the chicken leg and ran across two streets. When he saw no one was chasing him, he put the chicken leg on the ground and ate it happily.
"Ouch--" a wolf howl came from the direction where Hang Qi came.
"Ouch--" Changsheng couldn't help but raise his head and shout after him.
In the end, in just one breath, a snow sculpture swooped down from high altitude and snatched away all the uneaten chicken legs in the bag. It flew all the way towards a narrow alley.
"Ouch!" The food in his mouth was snatched away. Changshou was furious. He cursed and rushed out after the snow sculpture.
"Tweet!" Miu Miu took the chicken leg she grabbed and landed on Hang Shiqi's shoulder, flapped her wings and pecked his ear gently.
Hang Shiqi was patrolling with his teammates. When he saw the chicken drumsticks that Miu Miu had brought, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are you snatching other people's drumsticks again? Didn't you say you can't snatch drumsticks from others? What should I do if someone comes to report the crime later? If you do this, I, as a patrol member,
, it’s very difficult to handle.”
"Tweet!" It's not about grabbing chicken legs, Miaomiao thought, and besides, the person he's grabbing isn't a human being.
"Ouch!" Chicken leg thief! I want to fight you to the death!
Changsheng ran after Miu Miu and threw himself into Hang Shiqi's arms. The moment Hang Shiqi was knocked down, he suddenly felt that the plot seemed a bit familiar.
Changsheng, who had bumped into someone, was about to snatch back the chicken legs when he suddenly saw a very familiar face.
Changshou stopped moving and stared at Hang Shiqi with his blue eyes for a while. Suddenly his ears stood up and his tail waggled cheerfully: "Ouch!"
"Changsheng!" Hang Shiqi also saw clearly that the person who bumped into him was Changming, who had been with him for eighteen years. His eyes turned red for a moment, and he hugged Changming tightly into his arms.
"Aww! Aowwow!" Hearing Hang Shiqi call his name, Changsheng was even happier and kept rubbing his head against Hang Qi's chest.
Hang Shiqi kissed Changshou's head and rubbed it a few times: "I miss you so much."
When Yun Wuzhen and others arrived, what they saw was a scene like a recognition scene.
The young man of the Crane tribe breathed a sigh of relief: "Hang Shiqi, you are here too. That's great. I have sent the dog to you."
"Thank you for your hard work." Hang Shiqi said sincerely: "Thank you Hexian for me, and thank you too."
The young man from the Crane tribe waved his hand: "The task is completed, I will take my leave now."
Knowing that the Crane clan did not like to socialize with outsiders, Hang Shiqi did not stay with him for long. After saying goodbye to him briefly, he turned to greet the other two people: "Yun Wuzhen, Zong Yao? Are you here too?"
"Yeah, let's see how you and Ao Wu are doing after your marriage. As a result, I just bought chicken drumsticks for you at the pier, and they were robbed by this guy." Yun Wuzhen said narrowly: "Hang Shiqi, you
As a member of the patrol team, should we arrest this bad guy who is robbing things on the street?"
"You said you bought it for me. Changsheng is my dog, and what's mine is his. If he helps me get it, how can it be considered robbery?" Hang Shiqi retorted defensively.
"Woah woah!" Changshou shouted in agreement. His attitude was very arrogant.
Yun Wu was really happy: "Okay. Now you have a helper when you are fighting with each other."
"It's two people and a dog." Ao Wu walked into the alley, followed by Hu Yi.
"Boss."
"His Royal Highness the Wolf King."
The other members of the patrol team saluted Ao Wu.
Hang Shiqi said in surprise: "Why are you here? Aren't you busy today?"
"I'm not busy." Ao Wu looked at Yun Wuzhen with a smile but not a smile: "Dongye lost a fox king, I'll come out to help find him."
When Yun Wuzhen saw Hu Yi, he immediately shut up with a guilty conscience. He had indeed escaped. He only left a note before leaving, which read: I eloped, don't miss it. There was also a line of small words below: One month later
return.
"His Royal Highness the Fox King." Hu Yi looked at Yun Wuzhen with disapproval: "You are too willful. After all, you are the king of Dongye now, and you can no longer be the same as before."
"I know." Yun Wuzhen heard this sentence at least a hundred times in the past few months, and his ears were about to get calluses. It was okay to let him run the country, but he really couldn't bear the rules that the Fox King had to abide by.
No more.
"I just want to come out and take a breather." Yun Wuzhen said: "I am going crazy being locked up in the palace every day. The job of Fox King is not suitable for me. How about I ask the Presbyterian Council to recommend someone?"
"Among the younger generations who are eligible to inherit, the oldest one will not reach adulthood until five years later." Hu Yi said, "This means that you have to survive at least these five years."
"Then five years." Yun Wuzhen sighed, and turned back to ask Zong Yao: "Are you willing to wait for me for five years? When I am no longer the Yunhu King, I will continue to do Yuntian Pavilion's business, and by the way, I will talk to you
Let’s travel around the mainland together.”
"You can wait as long as you want." Zong Yao grinned stupidly: "I am very happy that you have me in your plan. It doesn't matter if you are in the palace, I can go and accompany you."
"It's enough for me to be locked up alone." Yun Wuzhen smiled and shook his head: "I will write to you when I miss you. Remember to come see me when you are free."
"Your Highness, the Presbyterian Council probably cannot accept an armored bear as the queen." When Hu heard the meaning of Izumo Wuzhen's words, he had already made a life-long private agreement with Zong Yao, and couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.
"You don't have to worry about that." Yun Wuzhen said, "He is not Yunhu's queen, he is just my Yun Wuzhen's partner."
Yun Wuzhen followed Hu Yi and left early, and Zong Yao also said goodbye. What a nice reunion turned into parting. Hang Shiqi rubbed his dog, feeling a little disappointed.
"We'll meet again." Ao Wu coaxed: "I have nothing else to do today, so I will accompany you on patrol."
"Okay!" Hang Shiqi became happy again and pulled Ao Wu to say goodbye to the other team members: "Then let's go this way instead of going with them."
"good."
On the deserted street, Ao Wu and Hang Shiqi walked side by side.
Ao Wu thought about what Yun Wuzhen said just now, and felt a little emotional, and asked Hang Qiqi: "Having been in the north for a long time, do you feel bored?"
"No, there are a lot of delicious and fun things every day, and I will have a long life with me in the future. How can I be bored?" Hang Shiqi said cheerfully.
"But I will never be able to drop everything and take you around the mainland like Yun Wuzhen and Zong Yao did. I have many things to do every day, and I don't even have much time to spend with you."
Hang Shiqi shook his head and said, "Do you know the most memorable moment in my life?"
Ao Wu tilted his head: "At which moment?"
Hang Shiqi: "That's when you told me in the White Tower to take me home."
There was slight shock and confusion in Ao Wu's eyes. In his opinion, it was just a small thing.
But this matter is indeed very important to Hang Shiqi, and can even be ranked as the "most" in the ups and downs he has experienced in the past two years:
Hang Shiqi took Ao Wu's hand and intertwined with his: "I have been wandering for nineteen years, and then I found a home when I met you. I want to go home with you more than wandering around the world."
He will always remember that the sun was setting that day, and the man stood where the light and shadow intersected, and said to him softly: "Let's go home."
He had been looking forward to these four words for eighteen years in his last life, but he had not received them.
In this life, as soon as I heard it, I fell into despair for the rest of my life.
