064 Can't give up
Outside the house, the night is dark and the sky is full of stars.
Dugu Ziteng's eyebrows were stained with a smile. If you look carefully, there is still a little red on his handsome face, as if he was afraid that Dugu Yaoyao would run away. After entering the room, he directly closed the door with his hand.
The candlelight in the room shook back and forth, throwing their figures on the wall and the ground.
Dugu Ziteng quickly pulled out a stool from under the table in the middle of the room and wiped it with his sleeves.
"Let's sit down."
Dugu Yaoyao's eyes swept across the room quickly.
An old wooden bed without any carvings, hanging dark bed sheets, and the thin and rough bedding makes people not interested in lying in it at a glance. The unevenly nailed wooden box by the bed is probably used as a wardrobe. Opposite the bed, that is, where Dugu Ziteng and Dugu Yaoyao are standing now, there is a wooden table with a dim yellow grease lamp on the table, and several stools are surrounded on both sides of the table.
Except for these necessary utensils, there is nothing in the house. Although there are not many things, they are extremely crowded. Compared with the people's room in the house, I'm afraid it's only better than one room per person.
Dugu Yaoyao doubted whether there was anything dirty on this stool and hesitated not to sit down immediately. Dugu Ziteng saw it, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. Dugu Yaoyao finally sat down on a stool, and Dugu Ziteng breathed a sigh of relief.
Dugu Yaoyao said softly, "Tomorrow is Ziteng's brother's test. This test is directly related to whether he can enter the top three. How is Ziteng's brother's preparation? Are you sure you have won Dugu Muyou?
Under the dim light, Dugu Yaoyao's small palm-sized face looked a little smaller. Her appearance looks younger than her actual age, and her face is as tender as an 11- or 12-year-old girl. At this time, her watery eyes looked at Dugu Ziteng, which immediately shook his heart.
Dugu Ziteng wanted to say something to reassure her, but the performance of Dugu Muyou in the rare pavilion came to his mind.
It can easily resolve other people's attacks, and there is no fear in the face of Dugu Herong. He must be very confident in himself. Dugu Ziteng heard that she was also in a bad situation in the house, but her performance made him feel embough. There is also a mysterious little fox, which can spit out a black flame with great lethality. Dugu Ziteng considered all the spirit beasts in his memory, but did not identify what kind of spirit beast the fox belonged to.
Previously, Dugu Ziteng was very confident in himself. In this trial, he walked very smoothly all the way, and his level was even higher than Dugumu. But after the day, he began to hesitate. Was the original idea really right?
Seeing that Dugu Ziteng did not reply, Dugu Yaoyao called doubtfully, "Brother Ziteng?"
Ah? Sorry, I'm distracted." Dugu Ziteng smiled apologetically, "Don't worry, I will try my best to win tomorrow."
"That's good. I'm worried that you will be too nervous. Now I can finally rest assured."
Dugu Ziteng's eyes lit up, "Yyao, are you... here to cheer for me?"
Dugu Yaoyao nodded and then shook her head. She lowered her head and seemed to be a little shy.
"I have been looking for an opportunity to talk to Brother Ziteng during this period, but it has been delayed for various reasons. Today, I finally found an opportunity, so I came here to cheer for you and talk to you. We haven't talked for a long time.
Dugu Ziteng was in full bloom. He went to Yaoyao many times, but he never saw anyone. He once wondered if Yaoyao looked down on him, so he didn't want to meet him... Now it seems that he thinks too much. Thinking of Yaoyao as being so unbearable, Dugu Ziteng wants to hit himself in the mouth.
"Hen't seen you for a long time? I practice diligently every day and spend more time and energy than anyone else in order to come here to find you, and now I finally get what I want. My family is really extraordinary. This big house is many times larger than the largest family in my hometown, not to mention the people here, but also many masters. In the future, we will all stay in the same place and fight for the future together. We can definitely create a world.
"It's good here, but I miss my previous life more. Although the living conditions are average and the food is not as good as here, at least you are free to raise your head and don't have to look at other people's faces. Brother Ziteng, the situation here is not as simple as you think. You must be careful not to say a wrong word or do something wrong. Especially those who are about the same age as us, they should be more careful not to conflict with them.
Dugu Yaoyao's voice was very calm, but her expression changed. When he said about his previous life, he looked nostalgic, but later he showed a painful look, probably thinking of something bad.
Dugu Ziteng was very distressed when he saw it, and when he thought of what happened in the Pavilion, he felt even more empathy.
"Yyao, after you came here, did something happen? Although we are weak and can do little in our family, there are still many ways to think of those who bully others. If you have any grievances, please tell me and we will figure it out together.
"I... I don't have any grievances." Dugu Yaoyao smiled an ugly smile, "I just said it casually."
Dugu Ziteng only felt that his heart was about to break and insisted, "There must be, isn't it the Dugu Muyou you mentioned before? If so, I will give her a good look tomorrow.
Dugu Yaoyao quickly waved her hand, but she was defeated by Dugu Ziteng's gaze and said with great distress, "She... is not too much, but she relies on herself and often shouts at us to do this and that for her. Those things can obviously be done by her servants. And..."
Dugu Yaoyao counted one by one. At first, Dugu Ziteng felt that something was wrong, but then the trace of doubt disappeared completely. His hands became tighter and tighter, and his eyebrows bulged into a deep Sichuan character. After listening to Dugu Yaoyao's words, Dugu Ziteng had no words for a long time.
After a long time, he said, "So many things have happened, but you still say it's okay. Don't worry, that woman will teach you a lesson so that she will never dare to bully you again!"
"Brother Ziteng! Don't do anything stupid!" Dugu Yaoyao exclaimed, "I, I just said it casually, and it's comfortable to say it..."
"Don't worry, I have my own measure."
"That's good." Dugu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and was worried that she passed away. Then her eyebrows relaxed. She smiled and said, "If it weren't for these messy things, how good would we be in the future? We can practice while planning for the future. Just think about it..."
After? The future? These words made Dugu Ziteng ecstatic. He heard other meanings from these words. Does it mean that Dugu Yaoyao is also looking forward to something?
Dugu Ziteng looked at Dugu Yaoyao's eyes full of expectation. He tentatively grabbed Dugu Yaoyao's soft and small hand. Because of nervousness, his palm oozed slightly sweat.
Dugu Yaoyao's body stiffened and her face changed slightly. Her eyes crossed Dugu Ziteng's ordinary appearance imperceptiblely, and then lowered her eyes and stared at his clothes made of rough fabric. In front of her, the fifth prince appeared to be handsome and romantic. Her head hung lower, but she never pulled her hand away.
Dugu Ziteng's trembling gradually turned into hope and said softly, "I will definitely not let you down."
The cold moon hung high, and in a courtyard of Dugu's house, a door opened and then closed. Dugu Yaoyao walked out of the room with a shy smile, but the moment she turned around, her face immediately changed, rubbed her hands in disgust and walked to the courtyard door in front of her.
After Dugu Yaoyao left, Dugu Ziteng was still immersed in joy. It was not until an hour later that his jubilant mood gradually cooled down. What Dugu Yaoyao said gradually coincided with his experience in the rare pavilion, and Dugu Ziteng was furious.
"Dugumuyou actually did so many excessive things to Yaoyao, humiliated her in public, and once beat her angrily. Yaoyao is my treasure, and I must... make that woman pay the price!"
Dugu Yaoyao returned to her residence and saw Dugu Piaopiao as soon as she opened the door. She was shocked and said with fear, "Why don't you turn on the light?"
"I just came here, too," Dugu floated his sleeve and lit the light in the room. "How's it going?"
"It's all done."
A strange pleasure flashed in Dugu's floating eyes and slowly said, "That's good."
Dugu Piaopiao confirmed that the matter had been done and left with satisfaction. Dugu Yaoyao fell on the door angrily.
The dawn announced the beginning of the fifth day of the trial.
Dugumu got up early. After washing and finishing, he began to practice so that he could enter the best state faster. It was not until the time was almost time that Dugu Muyou caught the blood fox.
"Lazy fox, wake up, wake up."
After shaking for a long time, the blood fox finally opened its eyes.
"What do you think?" Dugumu asked.
The blood fox blocked the light with its small front paws and curled up and buried its head.
"I feel... very sleepy..."
Dugumuyou raised the blood fox. Even if he did so, it still refused to give up sleep. There was a strange curling shape in the air, and the sound of breathing grew again in a blink of an eye. Dugumuyou stretched out a finger, aimed it in the direction of its belly, and poked it suddenly.
"Wow--"
With a shout, the blood fox suddenly opened its limbs, and the whole fox hung on the left hand of the lonely tree in a large shape.
"What are you doing!" Covering his belly, the blood fox protested loudly, "I'm going to complain to the Lord, you lustful woman!"
"Are you awake? What do you think about it? Do you feel better?
There is a strange point on the belly of the blood fox. When it is poked, it will jump up like just now, spreading its limbs flat, as if it has become a strange pendant.
The blood fox examined his body angrily and suddenly said softly, "Why... it seems that he has really recovered a little?"
"Are you sure?"
The blood fox nodded, "Although the effect is not obvious, it is indeed effective..."
"That's good," Dugumu showed a thoughtful look. "Maybe it can help you recover early."
The blood fox's body has not recovered. Originally, I thought it was a little strange that the injury was so troublesome. He said that he wanted to help it refine some elixir, but the blood fox said that those things were useless.
After seeing its black flame yesterday, Dugumu began to understand. I'm afraid this little thing didn't brag. If it was during the whole province, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a small black flame. For a deep fairy beast, what this interface can provide is probably low-end goods in its eyes and has no effect.
Swing the blood fox on his shoulder, Dugumu walked to Dugu Qinglan's yard. Dugu Qinglan is ready to go to the trial garden with Dugumuyou.
