Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 24 Watching mirages tonight
  Gradually, it falls to the west.

The setting sun shines through the car curtains, and the blush blurs everything.

Lu Chenran slowly woke up from sitting cross-legged on the road and looked at everything in the car.

Hu Shan studied his movements. The tiger's legs were folded together in an extremely awkward way, the tiger's back was arched, and his paws were placed on his thighs, meditating in a decent manner.

Lu Chenran couldn't help but smile a little at his funny actions.

Aunt Yisu was still studying the 'Water Dragon Yin' hanging on her waist, her fluffy fox tail swept back and forth, and her fox eyes were lost in thought.
  At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the carriage, and then the young prince was seen walking towards him with a bowl of porridge in his hand.

His demeanor was the same as before, his behavior was calm and his mouth was smiling.

The "Butterfly Lovers" that Lu Chenran talked about last night didn't seem to have any impact on her mood. Without causing any trouble, he naturally sat next to Lu Chenran and handed over the bowl in his hand:

"Brother Lu, haven't you eaten tonight? Try the porridge I bought."

"."

Lu Chenran took the bowl of porridge. Perhaps because of his 'seven orifices', his five senses were much stronger than before.

He could clearly smell the fragrance on the young prince's clothes, which covered up the original fragrant fragrance of her body, but in his bright eyes, he still couldn't see the slightest trace of her female body.

— This is very strange.

Xue Hu glanced at the young prince with disgust, curled his lips, and got into Lu Chenran's arms.

Later, Lu Chenran took a sip of the porridge with a spoon and raised his brows slightly. When he entered his mouth, there was a refreshing taste of plum blossoms, which penetrated his heart and was sweet.

"Is this plum blossom porridge?"

The young prince naturally noticed that Xue Hu was unfriendly to him, and felt a little helpless. Then he pursed his lips and chuckled:
  "Well, today is the Cold Food Festival in the north. Qingping County is selling cold food. I thought the cold wheat porridge was not delicious, so I brought an extra bowl of plum blossom porridge to Brother Lu. How does it taste?"

"Very sweet."

"It just suits Brother Lu's taste."

"."

The young prince laid his cheek on his curled up knees, turned his face sideways, and watched Lu Chenran finish the bowl of porridge in one bite.

Last night, she had insomnia.

My mood felt like I had been trekking alone in the wind and snow for a long time, and my body was filled with exhaustion and loneliness. This trek was destined to have no goal, just moving forward aimlessly.

However, to her, Lu Chenran was like a bright light that suddenly appeared in this eternal blizzard. He might not be able to warm the body, but he was no longer lonely.
  "Brother Li, why are you so nice to me?"

"."

Putting the empty bowl aside, Lu Chenran stared at her and said softly.

Li Zijun subconsciously avoided his sincere gaze, lowered his head and said gently:

"Brother Lu is my friend. Besides, I just brought a bowl of porridge."

"."

Lu Chenran smiled, but didn't point it out.

Even though he was meditating with his eyes closed, he was now 'clearly aware'. During those three hours, he could clearly feel the young prince coming towards his carriage several times, but because he was still meditating, he did not leave. Come in
  "Friends? But if it were anyone else, Brother Li would do the same thing."

Li Zijun stood up, looked at Lu Chenran with complex eyes, and then smiled casually:

"Maybe, Brother Lu, tell me a few more stories."

After a pause, he spoke again:

“I don’t want to listen to the clichéd stories about women disguising themselves as men.”

"."

Lu Chenran was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly:

"A classic story like Butterfly Lovers can be described as cliche by you. How many good stories can catch your eye?"

But she still persisted, and after thinking for a while, Lu Chenran had no choice but to speak, talking nonsense, telling a story about a wolf confronting a group of sheep on a grassland.

But what surprised him was that for such an abstract story, she didn't express any opinions. She just listened quietly, with the corners of her mouth curved in a beautiful arc. It was beautiful, extremely beautiful. At this moment, the carriage that had been moving forward stopped.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the sunset has completely sunk into the snow-capped mountains. The sunset sky, the bright moon is about to rise, and the two sides shine brightly.
  Uncle Wang walked to the carriage, put his hands in his sleeves, and said:

"My young prince, Mr. Lu, the road ahead is blocked by snow."

"The guys are shoveling the snow ahead. I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of Qingping County tonight. It's really unfortunate. I'm afraid it will be another night before we get to Jiamu County."

"."

Li Zijun tightened his tight clothes, opened the curtain, and looked out of the car.

A fresh and biting cold air invigorated people, and then the elegant fragrance of plum blossoms blew into her nostrils with the wind.

Perhaps it's because there are very few people walking on this official road, and the snow-covered mountains are piled up. The deepest part is three feet deep, making it difficult for even people to walk in, not to mention horses carrying goods.

In the mountains, especially in the twelfth lunar month, it is common for the mountains to be closed by heavy snow. Fortunately, the supplies have just been purchased and replaced from Qingping County, and the supplies are abundant.

She sighed softly and said:

"It's very unfortunate. Let's rest here for one night and leave again tomorrow."

"Yes."

"."

When Lu Chenran heard this, he thought of something. He squeezed his hands together slightly, and the knuckles of his fingers kept crackling. He slowly stood up on his knees, walked out of the carriage, and looked at the sky in the distance.

The biting cold wind carried the snow and fluttered the fox fur on his body. In the gray place where the moon was not full, there seemed to be a little luster spreading quietly.
  Then he looked at the young prince beside him and comforted him:

"Brother Li, why are you sighing? Perhaps this is God's will to save us, allowing us to see the traces of time hundreds of years ago."

"Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?"

Li Zijun blinked and looked at him in confusion.

Lu Chenran looked at the sky solemnly. Today is the Cold Food Festival, and there must be mirages above the tomb.

Then, he turned back, looked at her, and said gently:
  "Let's make a pot of wine and chat. Maybe we can watch mirages tonight."

"."

In the temporary shed, there is a stove to warm the wine, and the strong aroma of wine escapes from the fire, covering up the fragrance of the clusters of wintersweet.

Hushan God yawned and walked out of the cage, squatting next to Lu Chenran with his head raised, licking his mouth and looking longingly at the green wine in the furnace.

Lu Chenran looked at the warm wine with extremely gentle eyes.

There are cold plums and wine in the shed, and the fire is burning brightly.

A round moon is flying into the sky.

The night of the Cold Food Festival is extremely bright. The sickle moon is reflected on the snow. Two pairs of people look at each other. The fireflies shimmer in all directions, like dots of worms and like water in a mirror.

The night scene is picturesque and people are attracted to it.

The young prince raised his eyes to look at the bright stars and moon, his expression distant and indifferent.

"Om-"

She played the piano with her ten fingers and cooked wine with the green plums. The sound of the piano in the moonlit night was extremely ethereal.

In the sky, it's snowing.

At some point, the fog suddenly became thicker.

Deep in the fog there was a huge shadow spreading quietly.

Then, under the trance of the bright moon, accompanied by the melodious music of the piano, Lu Chen suddenly raised his head, his eyes chasing the smoke and clouds:
  "They are here."
