Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 78 Yue Fu’s boudoir, my aunt cannot bear to see the mess

The falling snow falls on the deck of the ship, washing it quietly.

Following the long roar of the mirage, the building swayed slightly before walking through the thick fog.

The wall lamps were lit, and the deck had already been hung with red beads. Countless blue light groups were floating and dancing in the misty mirage.

A half-human-tall rabbit was standing at the entrance of the ladder, wearing a light moonlight shirt, looking at Lu Chenran who was boarding the ladder with a smile:

"I'm down here, Rabbit Shiba, and I've met Mr. Lu."

Rabbit's words paused for a moment, and then he glanced at the snow fox squatting on Lu Chenran's shoulder from the corner of his eye. He suppressed the flash of teasing in his eyes and continued respectfully:

"Master Yue has already given instructions that Mr. Lu's daily life will be taken care of by me during this period."

"."

As soon as the words fell, Tu Shiba was deeply blessed.

Snow Fox sniffed her nose, but didn't react too much. She just used her penetrating eyes to observe from near and far, carefully sizing up the lingering moon rabbit in front of her.

There are faint strands of laurel fragrance lingering on the body of 'Rabbit Eighteen'. If you smell it carefully, you will find that the fragrance is freshly dried osmanthus petals, still carrying the smell of sunshine.

Yi Su blinked, his fluffy fox tail swept Lu Chenran's neck, and he suddenly reacted.

Then he puffed up one of his cheeks childishly, letting out a breath of breath from his fox mouth, but there was a look of helplessness on his face.

What Rabbit 18?

Where did Rabbit 18 come from?

‘I knew she was dishonest’

Yue Fu's irrepressible lips seemed to Xue Hu to be provocative.

But the mirage belongs to others, and I and Ran'er are not being reasonable. If they really argue about something, I would be a little stingy.

Thinking this, Yi Su shook his head helplessly.

The original posture of squatting on all fours and sitting upright relaxed, and he lay lazily on Lu Chenran's shoulders.

'Anyway, Ran'er doesn't know who she is. Whether it's Tu Shiba or Yue Fu, what does it matter? ’

The sound of waves echoed in Lu Chenran's ears, and mirages moved forward on the water.

Lu Chenran took a step forward, helped Rabbit Shiba up, and said with a gentle smile:

"Senior Lu appreciates the kindness, but there is no need to take care of him in daily life."

But before he finished speaking, when his hand just touched the rabbit's arm, the title page of the golden book floated quietly in his mind:

[Befriending the Eastern Moon Rabbit: (2/3300)]

[Rabbit is a spirit, but the one accompanied by laurel is an immortal, so it is called the Moon Rabbit.]

【.】

Lu Chenran was startled for a moment, and then there was something strange in his eyes.

The mirage belongs to Yue Rabbit. She can show up openly in front of her without hiding it. Does she need any deliberate disguise?

There is no need to pretend to be a maid who takes care of your daily life.

This is what I thought in my heart, but I didn't expose it. However, I have clearly seen through it, but I still need to continue acting calmly and cooperatively.

——This feeling is very strange.

"You're welcome, Mr. Lu, please come with me."

Tu Shiba smiled, her snow-white tail twisting and turning. Then she leaned down, looked at the pear blossom pendant that Xiao An carried behind her, and said gently:

"Is this heavy? Let me carry it for you."

Xiao An's head shook like a rattle:

"This is Xiao Yi's house. Mr. Da asked Xiao An to carry it."

"Who is Xiaoyi?"

Rabbit Shiba blinked, his eyes a little cunning.

"Xiao Yi is Mr. Da's fox!"

"Oh, does Xiao An carry Xiao Yi on his back every day?"

"No, Xiaoyi prefers Mr. Da's hug."

"So - Xiaoyi likes Mr. Da very much?"

"Uh-huh."

Xiao An nodded without hesitation.

There was a hint of crimson on Xue Hu's cheeks, and his breathing was still a little scattered. He pursed his lips and stared at the rabbit who kept telling Xiao An.

Rabbit Shiba had a clear view of Xue Hu's expression, but turned a blind eye. He knelt down, looked at Xiao An face to face, and said gently:

"Does your Mr. Big often hold Xiao Yi?"

"Uh-huh."

"It seems that sir likes Xiaoyi very much."

"Mr. Da also likes Xiao An."

"So when you sleep, do you prefer to hold Xiao An or Xiao Yi?"

Xiao An lowered his head and thought for a while, blinked his big black eyes, and scratched his head:

"Hold Xiao Yi more."

"So that's it."

Tu Shiba laughed, rubbed Xiao An's head, and then walked on the bluestone-paved ship plank, pointing at everything around him and introducing the facilities on the ship to Lu Chenran.

Looking from the outside, you can never feel the mystery in the mirage.

It is like a cave, hiding many rare and exotic animals, and even flowers, plants and trees growing on the back of this mirage for countless years. Along the way, you can see little rabbits, holding scissors or kettles in their hands. The vegetation in the courtyard is being built.

"Senior, is there anyone else on the mirage?"

"Mr. Lu, just call me eighteen. This mirage floats on the East China Sea. Regardless of humans, monsters or ghosts, if you are lucky enough to see it, you will have the opportunity to board the mirage. Every once in a while, the mirage will find a pier to the shore, and there will be people. Go down."

"I see."

Lu Chenran looked at the scene in front of him, his heart full of surprise.

Follow this rabbit and walk towards an elegant courtyard.

Countless copper lamps illuminate this area brightly, and the crane-billed stove emits swirling smoke, mixed with the sounds of silk and bamboo.

They met all kinds of people or monsters, but they were not a few. When they saw Lu Chenran walking up from the deck, they didn't show any curiosity. They were obviously used to this.

"It's too late today, sir, please rest in this room first."

Tu Shiba pointed at the elegant pavilion in front of him and said.

"But it depends on the arrangements of the seniors."

Lu Chenran was naturally not picky.

The green tiles and white walls are obviously not in the northern style, but rather resemble Huizhou architecture. Inside the exquisite courtyard gate, there is a small rockery, koi carps are raised in the pond, and many flowers and plants of all seasons are planted.

A laurel plant was half-covered in the mist, growing in the courtyard. The bird reliefs carved on the walls were extremely luxurious, and several neon curtains were overlapped and hung in places.

——This room is not like a guest room, but more like a place where the owner lives. To be more specific, it should be the boudoir of the moon rabbit.

Follow Tu Shiba along the osmanthus wood corridor. The floor of the corridor is smeared with tung oil and is as smooth as a mirror. Walking on it is like a mirror.

Passing through the central hall, you go around a screen with a "Moon Rabbit Looking at the Moon" screen. There is a Yantai orchid incense burner placed on the table, and a faint fragrance comes out, and the fragrance surrounds the screen.

In the center is a low table made of sandalwood and red sandalwood and glazed glass. There is a fallen brocade behind the low table, and the two chairs in front of the low table are misplaced.

There is a guqin leaning against the door, and a pot of tea after the rain is brewing on the low table. Strangely, there is a box of half-eaten candied fruits next to the teapot.

Two pieces of moon-colored bellybands were scattered on the bed, and peach-colored undergarments were piled messily next to the pillow. One of them seemed familiar to Lu Chenran, as if it had just been hanging on the tree next to the hot spring in the black pine forest. on branches

Under the bed, on a pair of white velvet boots, two silk socks dyed white were hanging softly.

The bright red curtains were rolled up, and various fantasy romance novels were piled up randomly next to the pillow, with the title pages folded.

At first glance, the arrangement of the room is extremely elegant. At the second glance, it’s chaos.

It looks like an unkempt otaku boudoir.

There is a fragrant aroma permeating the air. It is not burning sandalwood. It is obviously the smell left by the owner who has lived here for a long time.

Lu Chenran stood in the room awkwardly, whether he wanted to leave or not.

The snow fox in his arms frowned. The scene in front of him seemed strangely familiar. He seemed to have remembered something. There was a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, a little helpless.

'She's still the same as before. ’

In my opinion, her temperament is carefree. A woman shouldn't be so careless about details, and she always has some little hobbies that she never understands.

'But, is this her? ’

If he suddenly became quiet and virtuous, he would not be used to it.

Tu Shiba hurriedly stepped forward, pulled up the red curtain, coughed slightly, and said unnaturally:

"That Mr. Lu, the previous guest in this room just left. He didn't clean it up yet, which made him laugh."

She had just finished bathing in the black pine forest, and she did not expect Lu Chenran to show up so early. On a spur-of-the-moment decision, she forgot to clean up her boudoir.

Now, when the snow fox saw it, he laughed at himself again.

Although Yue Fu knew that Yi Su would not laugh at him, a gentle scolding was indispensable.

"Well, I'll clean up now."

"Mr. Lu, just wait for a while."

"."

As he spoke, he hurriedly tidied up all the mess on the bed.

Obviously, she rarely does such things as cleaning up the boudoir, and usually leaves it to her personal maids.

He opened the brocade quilt, rolled up the pieces of intimate clothes into a ball, and placed them in the wooden barrel next to him. He held a lot of miscellaneous romance books and piled them all on the bookshelf beside him. .

He stuffed the stockings into his little boots and kicked them under the bed. When he picked up the half-eaten box of candied fruits, he didn't forget to take out one and stuff it into his mouth.

Lu Chenran smiled helplessly. Although he didn't have any mysophobia, it was obvious that this messy room would become messier as the Moon Rabbit cleaned it up.

Putting the moth-wing bundle on the short table, Lu Chenran took out a piece of silk from his arms and said with a smile:

"I won't bother senior anymore, let's let Lu do it."

"How can this be okay? Sir, you should go and sit over there while I go make tea for him."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Chenran had already wiped the dust in the room, but what surprised him was that the things in the room were extremely clean, without any trace of dust.

He skillfully took out a small broom and swept away the half-burned ashes. In Tu Shiba's complicated eyes, he looked like he was used to it.

Looking at all this, Tu Shiba smiled and said:

"It's not common for men to take the initiative to clean up the house. I think Mr. Lai's tutor is excellent."

In this era, the mentality of male chauvinism is still there. Not to mention doing housework, even taking the initiative to enter the kitchen will be criticized. Of course, poor people do not care about this.

"My aunt can't stand the mess, so Lu has been in the habit of tidying up her room since she was a child."

"Auntie?"

"Well, Lu is an orphan, and it was his aunt who raised him."

"Sorry, I mentioned sir's pain point."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

While talking, Lu Chenran skillfully picked up the obscene clothes from the barrel and neatly folded them into small squares, with a faint fragrance still lingering on them:

"Senior, where do you put these?"

A blush appeared subconsciously on Tu Shiba's cheeks. He glanced at the snow fox squatting obediently in the corner and sighed slightly in his heart. He looked like a child she had taught and behaved like her.

Then he reached out and took it, casually stuffing it into his pocket:

"Well, just give it to me."

Seeing Lu Chenran holding a broom and preparing to sweep out the little boots she had kicked under the bed, Yue Fu's heart ached and she quickly said:

"There's no need to pack those socks, sir. Just put them under the bed first so they can't be seen."

"Sir, you've been on a journey all the way. You haven't had dinner yet, so I'm going to make some food for Mr. Lu."

I don’t know if I really want to cook, or if I’m embarrassed and want to leave.

"Thank you, senior."

Rabbit Shiba nodded absently, Rabbit's tail swayed, then walked out of the room and carefully closed the door.

Lu Chenran breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the rabbit leave.

I rearranged the bed, looked at the surrounding environment, and finally let go of my tense heartstrings.

Xiao An was already chasing the Hushan God in the courtyard, and Qing Gulu looked drunk, lying on the low table and sleeping soundly.

Even Xiaoyi didn't know where he went and disappeared.

However, Lu Chenran was not in a hurry. He sat cross-legged on the brocade, took out various books from the bag, and sorted out the route to Beijing.

"Today is November 18th"

Counting the days, it is only more than a month away from the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

According to the speed of this mirage, we will cross the East China Sea and wait for this mirage to sail into the Yangtze River and stop at Jinling Ferry. It will only take ten days at most, which is plenty of time.

Lu Chenran placed the rare objects he had obtained along the way on the table.

After counting, no matter whether they are connected or not, they have gained so much without knowing it.

"I don't know where Brother Li is."

The caravan's legs were not much faster than mine, so I thought it would be faster to walk alone.

If the young prince wants to go to Beijing before the twelfth lunar month, the only way is by water.

A bright moon in the sky shines into the room, leaving mottled moon shadows and surging moonlight.

Regarding mirages, Lu Chenran has actually always had doubts in his mind, because there has always been endless debate in ancient books and classics about what mirages are.

During this time, he also read many ancient books. The book "Yue Ling" said:

‘A pheasant enters the big water and becomes a mirage, a snake crosses with a turtle and a turtle is born, and a pheasant crosses with it and a mirage is born. The objects are different but feel the same. ’

The "Lei Shu" records it in more detail:

"The offspring of a snake and a pheasant is called a dragon. It looks like a snake with four legs. It is a dragon, or a mirage." In the first month of the year, snakes and pheasants intersect and lay eggs. When struck by thunder, they sink into the ground several feet into the shape of a snake. After two or three hundred years, they can rise into the sky. The eggs don't go into the ground, but they become pheasants. ’

However, most of these books agree on one thing: mirages are the cross-species product of snakes and chickens.

This is still a bit strange.

In ancient times, there seemed to be no biological isolation of species between heaven and earth, and all kinds of strange and weird things would always appear. However, this is not surprising. All great monsters will eventually turn into human beings.

But this does not mean that humans are such a noble species. The human form is the body of Tao. Humans are born with Tao bodies. It is just that primates have hands, which are most convenient to use.

A strange scene suddenly appeared in his mind:

If snake demon and chicken demon can give birth to mirage.

Where are humans and foxes?

Immediately, Lu Chenran quickly shook his head and threw these random thoughts behind him.

——This is not something he is qualified to explore now.

At this moment, Lu Chenran seemed to have discovered something interesting. He slowly stood up and walked towards the candle lit in the corner.

This is a blazing red candle, burning on the lampstand. Amidst the swirling fireworks, there is a faint influence of the attic.

He reached out and touched the candle, and sure enough, the title page of the golden book floated slowly in his mind:

[Being associated with mirage wax: (0/5)]

[The fat and wax are used as candles, and the fragrance is everywhere, and there is also the shape of a pavilion in the smoke]

One more update. I adjusted my schedule last night. You wouldn’t go behind my back to ‘cross’ the New Year, right? ?
