Chapter 46:

After a few days in the boat, everyone arrived in Ezhou City.
Ezhou is known as the most prosperous place in the middle of Chu. Naturally, there is a lively scene. The buildings on both sides of the road are mostly white walls and tiles. One glance at the hard tops of the mountains, the high walls and eaves are frequently flying, and the eaves are painted brilliantly.
Zhou Deyun carefully stepped off the springboard and stretched his body. "Finally, I stepped on the ground and swayed on the boat for so many days. I walked on the ground and felt my body was still shaking."
He turned around and stretched out his hand to take his lady off the boat. Qiu Yueming glanced at him and walked off the springboard with a short sword in his hand.
Zhou Deyun wanted to see if Mr. Xiang'er needed support. Yuan Xiang'er had already chased Wu Yuan all the way down the springboard, "Wu Yuan don't run so fast, carefully fall into the water."
Nan He, who followed him, turned his eyes and glanced at him faintly.
Zhou Deyun had no choice but to retract his hand and touch his nose. The recent days of getting along almost overturned his stereotype of women from childhood. In his memory, the women in the family were gentle, weak and obedient, living only in the small square in the backyard. If there is no branch to rely on, it will wither, and only rely on men to survive.
But now, looking at the appearances of Qiu Yueming and Yuan Xiang'er, and thinking of his former wife, he vaguely felt that if that layer of shackles were released, many women in this world might not be worse than them.
In the evening, the group checked into one of the most luxurious inns in Ezhou.
The wing rooms of the inn are elegant and comfortable, with clean bedding and hot water supply throughout the day. The lobby on the first floor sells fine wines and dishes, and there are geishas holding Pipa Yueqin walking through them to provide entertainment services.
Zhou Deyun ordered a table of noodles to the wing, and invited Yuan Xianger and others to serve. When everyone was seated, a jade skin makeup singer came in with the pipa money. Izumo sleeves, pomegranate skirt, bowed to the crowd, slender hands, plucked the strings on the rotating shaft, and made a graceful sound.
"The conditions of the journey are difficult. It's really hard work for the little ones and you. It is difficult to get a stable boundary. Let's relax and relax." Zhou Deyun greeted everyone, "I don't have any other hobbies. The first part of the workshop is comparable to the Hu Niangzi of the Kyoto Yushifang. It is a relief to listen to her untouched song."
"The Zhou members laughed, how can our superficial skills compare to Hu Niangzi." Qiuniang in the red dress laughed, "It's just that since you have to show your love, I will be waiting for a song "Xi Chun Lang" today. The guest officer appreciates his face and listens."
After saying this, she glanced at Nan He lightly, her jade hands were flying, her red lips were slightly open, her eyebrows were springing, she sang the song "Xichun Lang" with tenderness and fascinating.
Yuan Xianger is actually very fond of the beauties of this era. They have the unique charm of ancient women. They are graceful and graceful, and the waist section looks like a weak Liu Fufeng. Between low eyebrows and small smiles, the tune moves people's heartstrings, and even the look at you is timid and watery, gentle and passionate.
Not to mention a man, even if she was a woman, she smiled and looked at it a few times with such a look, and she felt comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
Yuan Xianger suddenly understood the happiness of a man born in this era, being served by such a beautiful opposite in a weak and humble attitude. The superb piano skills that have been practiced for many years are no more than just a call, Bo Jun is just a pleasure, this is undoubtedly a kind of complacent enjoyment.
It's a pity that the beautiful lady didn't have her in her eyes, but she frequently looked towards Nanhe with her autumnal eyes, shy and timid, and affectionate.
Helplessly, Nan He had a cold face, not only ignored her, but didn't even look at her.
That's it, Qiuniang got up and thanked the guests. She first came to Zhou Deyun and thanked him with a smile. She accepted Xie Yi and agreed to invite you again next time. He deliberately walked to the front of Nanhe and gave a blessing, "The slave lives in Xunfang Pavilion, whose nickname is Qiuniang, and after returning home, I look forward to it. I also hope that the Lord will take care of him from time to time. Don't forget."
Nan He saw that she had an appointment with Zhou Deyun and then openly asked herself again. He was very incomprehensible, and suddenly asked, "You, how many princes do you have?"
The Qiuniang laughed dumbly, "Lang Jun feels so pure, and the slaves are born like duckweed. There is no end to it, but the marriage is revealed, just tonight."
Nan He pressed his lips and stopped talking.
I don't know why, Yuan Xianger felt that if he was not human, he would have to use a small tail to face him again at this moment.
At night,
Yuan Xianger slept soundly on the soft bed of the inn.
There was a very small noise outside the window, and a pair of green eyes appeared outside the window that was pushed open, quietly looking inward.
On the soft cushion in front of Yuan Xiang'er's bed, a pair of hairy ears stood up immediately.
Zhou Deyun opened a bedroom for Nan He alone, but he still curled up to sleep on Yuan Xiang'er's bedside, but instead made the big bed in the wing room cheaper.
Nan He's low throat sounded, the window closed with a snap, and the eyes outside the window quickly disappeared.
The night is deep, except for some buildings with red lanterns on the streets, most of the human activities have stopped.
In the dark alley, occasionally some wild cats and dogs ran across the mud.
A creature with green eyes was flying in a damp and dark alley. His speed was so fast that he could almost run against a vertical wall.
But there is a figure faster than him!
The silver-white body crossed the narrow sky of the alley and fell in front of the demon, blocking his path.
Sirius' limbs were sturdy and powerful, and his amber eyes were gloomy and terrifying, staring coldly at the prey in front of him, making a threatening voice.
The little demon was in a cold sweat under the tremendous pressure. He had no doubt that he would be torn to pieces by the powerful presence in front of him as long as he did an extra action. He has been living in human towns for a long time, and has learned to change into various human forms skillfully, coaxing single humans to get close to him.
He lives here, and the only people who want to are those human warlocks with powerful Taoism. And such a powerful kind, he hadn't seen it for many years.
"Brother, forgive... forgive me. I didn't do anything." The green-eyed demon begged for mercy.
"What are you looking at from hiding out the window?" The silver Sirius narrowed his eyes. "Do you want to be against her?"
"No, no, no, I never meant it." The demon's thin body bowed to the ground, his sharp forelimbs held together, "I just heard that a warlock with an apostle came here, and I was worried that it was the wizards of Dongxuan Sect. I sent someone to Ezhou to pay us, so I wanted to take a quiet look."
"Dong Xuan Sect?"
"Yeah, do you know? These warlocks have been rampant recently and have killed a lot of our companions." The demon figured out the look of Nan He and found that he was not a human apostle, so he said carefully, "Brother, we It is of the same kind. Now it is not easy for the monster race to survive in the human world. You should not trouble me. After all, humans are our enemies."
Nan He wrinkled his nose, "You smell of blood,-it's human blood."
The demon licked his pointed fingers that were still stained with blood, showing excitement, "Yes, I just succeeded. It is not easy to eat humans these years. I have been lurking around that person for a long time, and finally got his Trust, God killed him without knowing it, and dug his heart to eat."
"Oh, what are you doing?" The green-eyed demon was stepped on by Nan He and screamed in shock.
"You just wanted to sneak in and eat her heart?"
"Yes, so what? Foreign travelers, as long as they are handled well, they are not easy to be found when they die. Those humans are dirty and shameless. They should have been our food. You are a monster, not an apostle, why are you? Helping humans. Isn’t it rare for them to hunt and kill our companions by knowing spells?"
"Humans are not all dirty and shameless. There are also good humans."
"What are you talking about? Do you... do you like humans? You like the human female in the house just now?" The demon made a sharp sneer, "Don't be silly, brother. The human races are cunning and ruthless creatures, and all demons who love humans No good end."
"They only recognize their own kind, and can never really like Yaozu. Even if they treat you nicely, they are just trying to exploit and deceive. She gets what she wants from you, and will only turn to marry humans in the end. Man, it’s impossible to take you to heart." He took advantage of Nan He to get out of his claws in a daze. He retreated while lobbying, "You believe me, I have lived in this town for too long and have seen too much Stupid monster. You should turn around now, bite off the human neck, and dig out her heart to eat."
Before he finished speaking, a hurricane swept across. The little demon, who has been walking around in human towns for hundreds of years, can't understand why he died.
Nan He jumped up to the raised eaves of the roof, licked his paws there, and ran in the direction he had come.
He didn't care what the little demon said. For every wolf in the Sirius clan, he used his eyes and ears to judge the quality of a creature. Only he knows what Axiang thinks of himself.
It's just that there is nothing wrong with what the demon said. Humans don't seem to have only one partner.
Nan He stopped. In a courtyard not far below his feet, there were bright lanterns. Even in the middle of the night, there were still many people coming in and out. Some are a man holding several women, and a woman is accompanied by several men.
Every one of those people was laughing and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Some strange sounds, caught in the night breeze, passed into Nanhe's hearing ears.
Nanhe, who has lived alone since childhood, far from the ethnic group, doesn't understand the meaning of those voices. He hesitated for a moment, leaped gently onto the roof, and quietly stepped on the tiles.
He heard the man's gasp, and a sweet and feminine sound. Those voices mixed together and got into his impassable body. He suddenly understood something, and his heart was flustered and cramped.
The red-faced little wolf escaped from the terrifying sound. He dashed all the way in the snowy night, slammed his whole wolf into a pile of fluffy white snow, frozen himself for a long time, until the whole body had completely cooled down, and he could not see any abnormalities anymore. He shook off the ice and snow, crawled back to the house shivering, got in through the gap in the window, and returned to the person's bed.
He looked at Yuan Xiang'er on the bed. The man was sleeping soundly, completely unaware of what happened.
Thinking that one day in the future, she might be holding herself while holding other sweet talks of the opposite sex, Nan He's chest felt like being hit by a sharp knife. He held the knife in his own hand, and pierced the tip of the knife into his heart.
Why do you want to fall in love with human beings? Nan He thought sadly, using his cold nose to sniff the man's exposed bedding, and his palm hanging on the edge of the bed.
The man subconsciously flipped his hand over, began to stroke his ears, and scratched his chin along his cheeks. Nan He leaned his head and turned over his body obediently, enjoying the sensation of the delicate fingers touching his skin.
Maybe I could kill all the males who appeared beside her, so would she just look at me?
In Yuan Xiang'er's sleep, she felt a wet object rubbing against her palm, and she reflexively rubbed the fluffy ball.
The ball was fluffy and icy, trembling slightly.
Yuan Xiang'er opened her eyes and found the water trails on the floor, Nan He was wet, and she fought cold on her feet under the bed.
"In the middle of the night, did you run to play in the snow?" Yuan Xianger forced Nan He into bed with sleepiness, randomly found a blanket to dry him, wrapped him in a blanket, and stuffed him into his warm bed .
After falling into a deep sleep, she seemed to hear a soft voice from the pillow,
"As long as I am not one?"
"Okay, only Xiao Nan." Yuan Xianger said vaguely with sleepy eyes.
"I really can't, leave Wu Yuan and Jin Yu, and stop asking others?" The voice seemed aggrieved.
So Yuan Xianger just wanted to make him happy,
"No Wuyuan, no Jinyu, just Xiaonan."
After leaving Ezhou, the group changed to ride in the carriage that Deyun rented last week. The performance of the temporarily rented carriage was not very good, and it ran dull and bumpy.
Qiu Yue abandoned his cart early tomorrow morning, and quickly recovered his skillful equestrian skills from his memory, and started galloping on the road.
Yuan Xianger looked very envious, and got out of the car to learn to ride a horse.
When I saw Qiu Yueming riding a horse, I felt that she was brave and free and easy. It was my turn to ride on the horse, only to realize that it was not the case at all.
When the horse ran, she fell apart, her back hurts, her buttocks hurt, and her inner thighs were worn out.
"No way, no way. I have to come down and walk." Yuan Xianger took the rein and got off the horse.
She and Nan He were one horse and one horse. They were faster, and they drove Zhou Deyun's carriage a long way.
"Riding is too uncomfortable. It is more comfortable to ride Xiaonan." Yuan Xianger complained to Nan He who was with him.
Nan He looked at her with amber eyes clear and clear.
Xiao Nan seems very happy. Is there anything wrong with the sentence just now? Yuan Xianger thought strangely.
There was a sound in the bushes on the roadside, and a little golden-haired fox rushed out of the trees. He had an arrow feather on his body, with blood stains all the way, and his black limbs ran with all his strength, rushing past Yuan Xiang'er. At that time, he suddenly stopped,
"Little Axiang? Why are you?"
There was a rush of horse hooves far away in the dense forest.
The little fox looked back anxiously and rushed into Yuan Xiang'er's arms.
"A bad guy is chasing me, Axiang, hide me soon."
