Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 13 Fox Girl: Ying Ning

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

Steward Wu has not returned to the house to report the news, presumably he has not found the target yet.

Zhou Yu came to the study as usual.

"Hey~"

As soon as the little white fox saw Zhou Yu entering the room, he happily came forward to welcome him.

"I'll give you a pear to eat, the master wants to read a book..."

Zhou Yu knelt down and put a pear in front of the little white fox, then walked to the desk and sat down.

Seeing the little white fox running to the side and nibbling on pears, Zhou Yu entered the Library Pavilion on a whim...

In the blink of an eye, he returned to the study.

Of course, this is just outside time, and I have spent two hours in Zangshu Pavilion.

After reading the book for a while, Zhou Yu spread out the drawing paper and began to paint again.

Now, he has spent [-] luck points to learn "Chess", "Danqing", and "Temperament".

Coupled with the previous calligraphy and kendo, the talent "Qinqi, Calligraphy, Painting and Sword" is finally alive.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you don't need to practice after comprehending these talents.

Talent is just icing on the cake, the deeper one's own foundation, the more obvious the effect of the increase will be.

I don't know how long I have been painting.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu faintly felt a ray of hot breath brushing against his ears, accompanied by a ray of fragrance.

Turn around...

Almost bumped into a pretty face.

"Ah~"

Before Zhou Yu yelled, the other party screamed first, and took two steps back.

This is a young girl about twenty-eight years old, dressed in a white dress, with pink face and peach cheeks, eyes like water, slim and graceful.

It can be said to be "pretty as a peach in three springs, as clear as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns".

Fortunately, Zhou Yu knew that this was the world of Liao Zhai, and he was just shocked, but he didn't lose his composure.

I was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked around...

No sign of the little white fox was found.

So, the pretty girl in front of me is really a vixen?

"Hee hee~"

Seeing Zhou Yu's look of looking around, the girl couldn't help covering her lips and smiling coquettishly.

"Cough cough~"

Zhou Yu cleared his throat, sat up straight, and said with a straight face, "Naughty, you are that little white fox, right?"

Hearing the question, the girl finally stopped laughing, stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Little girl Ying Ning, thank you benefactor for saving my life."

Ying Ning?

She is Yingning?

In the stories of Liaozhai, Nie Xiaoqian, Yingning, Huaguzi, Xiaoxie, Xiaocui, Xiangyu, Xin Shishiniang, and the third lady of the lotus are all very famous.

It often appears in various adaptations of movies and TV series.

Although Ying Ning did not appear in Guobei County in the original book, but... there is no Guobei County in the original book.

It seems that the world is getting more and more interesting.

"It turns out that your name is Ying Ning, I didn't expect you to become an adult...

By the way, since you have achieved success in cultivation, how could you be easily arrested? "

Hearing this, Ying Ning said sullenly: "The little girl was at a critical moment of cultivation, and the old man somehow found the tree hole where the little girl lived.

First use a talisman to subdue me, and then use a red string to seal the little girl's mana..."

"That's why! Then you should be more careful when practicing in the future."

"Thank you benefactor for reminding me." Ying Ning saluted again.

At this moment, Zhou Yu couldn't help asking tentatively, "Who else is in your family?"

Ying Ning bit her lip before replying: "Actually, my father is a human and my mother is a fox, but they are gone.

My mother entrusted me to my adoptive mother before she died, and there is also a fox named Xiaorong who often takes care of the little girl..."

Hearing Ying Ning's life experience, Zhou Yu couldn't help sighing.

Just as he was about to speak, Ying Ning bowed again: "Grandfather, although Ying Ning is a fox, he also knows the principle of repaying kindness.

If the benefactor does not mind it, Ying would rather stay in the mansion to serve around. "

Zhou Yu was overjoyed, pretending to caress his beard and ponder: "Will this...won't you be wronged?"

In the end, Ying Ning smiled coquettishly: "Hee hee, don't feel wronged or wronged, actually staying in the mountains is quite boring."

This girl is really sincere.

"Okay, then you can stay here for the time being. Also, if you don't want to be merciful in the future, just call me sir."

Ying Ning immediately changed her words: "Thank you sir~"

"However, you should change back to your fox form tomorrow morning. I will take you out of the city first, and then you will change back into a human form and follow me back home."

"Hehe, okay~"

Sure enough, this girl liked to laugh very much, even more so than Qiuxiang.

"Du Du~" At this time, there were two soft sounds outside the door, followed by Butler Wu's voice: "Master~"

"Wait a minute~"

Zhou Yu replied, and then whispered to Ying Ning, "Hide behind the bookshelf first, and don't make any noise."

"Mmmmm~"

After Ying Ning reached the bookshelf, Zhou Yu glanced at the door and said, "Come in."

Butler Wu hastily opened the door and entered.

"Master, we have found the whereabouts of that old fellow."

"Oh? Tell me quickly."

"Yes, sir. The old guy didn't stay at the inn, but hid in an abandoned temple in the west of the city.

It's also the little ones who are lucky, the old guy came out to buy wine, and happened to be bumped into by one of our brothers...

After being followed by the children, I found a man who went to the ruined temple to drink with the old man.

The younger ones didn't hear what the two were talking about, because they didn't dare to get too close because they were afraid of alarming each other.

Until later when the man left, he said such a sentence, saying that Wu Daochang, he must not miss again tomorrow night.

The old man replied, don't worry, this time...cough..."

Having said that, Butler Wu coughed dryly, as if there was something inconvenient to say.

Zhou Yu was dissatisfied and said, "How did the old man answer? Tell me the exact words."

"The old man said, don't worry, this time I will definitely... definitely kill that surnamed Zhou...

Master, it turns out that you already knew that someone was going to harm you. Fortunately, the younger ones discovered the other party's whereabouts in time. "

After hearing these words, Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction: "The matter is well done, tomorrow you can pay 20 taels of silver and distribute it yourself."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

"Okay, I'm fine for the time being. Remember, don't say anything about it beforehand, and wait for the master's next instruction."

"Yes, the young one must keep his mouth shut."

After Butler Wu left, Ying Ning came out from behind the bookshelf, and asked suspiciously, "Is someone trying to harm Mr.?"

"Well, the opponent has already made a move, but it didn't succeed."

Hearing this, Ying Ning took the initiative to ask for help: "The little girl has a little knowledge of spells, so I can help my husband take revenge."

"No!" Zhou Yu waved his hand: "You'd better not get involved in this matter, sir has his own countermeasures."

Ying Ning blinked her big watery eyes: "But Ying Ning wants to repay Mr.

"There will be opportunities in the future..."

The next day, Zhou Yu pretended to carry the cage and said that he would release the animals himself.

When he came back at noon, there was a juicy little girl by his side.

"Master, did you buy another maid?"

Ah Zhu ran forward quickly, looking at Ying Ning curiously...

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head: "Azhu, her name is Ying Ning, she is not a maid in the mansion."

"Sister Azhu, the youngest girl is the husband's maid."

Ying Ning took the initiative to explain.

"Oh~"

Ah Zhu let out a bewildered expression.

She was a little confused about the difference between a maid and a maid, but it was hard to ask.

"Azhu, Ying Ning can write and draw, and will be in charge of the study room and private school in the future."

"So that's the case, Sister Yingning is really amazing."

Ah Zhu looked envious.
