Hard to smile

Chapter 2 Mutual Aid
When Hu Chun arrived at Mount Tangjia from Zhuozhou, it was almost Xu time, the sky was cloudy, the moon and stars were not visible, although it wasn’t as if he couldn’t see his fingers, the surrounding area was still dark, and the shadows of the woods were very scary.Hu Chun lit a fire and threw the chestnuts brought from the city into the fire. After a while, there was a crackling sound, and the fragrance wafted everywhere. She picked out longer branches and fiddled with them non-stop.

Following the scent, a black figure swished out of the woods. In fact, it didn't run fast, but because of its short legs, it made more chaotic footsteps than normal animals, and it sounded quite fast.

"Pull out a few for me, I don't like too familiar ones." The black shadow yelled out of sight from afar, and before he finished speaking, he had already run to the light, it turned out to be a hedgehog.

"Old Bai, you're here." Hu Chun smiled even more sweetly when he wanted something from her, quickly pulled out a few chestnuts from the fire, and pushed them to the hedgehog intimately.

The hedgehog fairy is called Bai Guang, smooth light, and her dream is to become a naked girl.

Bai Guang looked at Hu Chun while waiting for the chestnuts to cool—a fox stood upright, holding a stick the same height as her with its two front paws, flipping chestnuts like rowing a boat, its cheerful appearance was particularly ridiculous.

"I'm talking about the eighth..." Bai Guang looked down on her a little bit, "You are only missing two merits, can't you still change your human form? How convenient it is to use your hands!"

Feeling the malice from his old friend, Hu Chun threw down the stick, carefully pulled out a fragrant pear stuck on the back of the white light, deliberately avoided the small hole made by the thorn, and took a bite happily. Very sweet.Bai Guang, a hedgehog, has prickles in his speech, but he is very kind. Every time we meet, he knows to bring her a pear.

"If you can change, just change and see, how convenient it is to walk on legs." Hu Chun choked on her.

Bai Guang couldn't bear the excitement, snorted, and said arrogantly: "Change, change!"

A burst of white mist dissipated, Hu Chun held half a pear in her mouth, and stared dumbfoundedly at the figure of Bai Guang. She took another bite of the pear, spat out the pear core, and said with emotion: "Your old face grows with a washbasin in it. Yeah, it's too round..."

Bai Guang let out his breath, smoked again, and returned to his original body.She admitted ruefully, "I'm not too satisfied either, so let's have another look..."

Hu Chun picked up the fallen pears with his paws, gnawed on another one, and smiled contentedly.Bai Guang is a foodie, especially likes to eat fruits. She has eaten all kinds of fruits in Jialing. In the end, because Xiangli settled in Tangjiashan, it can be said that she is very pursuing.

"Old Bai, I came here this time because of this pear." Hu Chun talked about the cause and effect, and finally felt a little disgusted, "Take me to find sweet pears. The pears you ship out have holes, so it's not easy to send them away. people."

Lao Bai readily agreed, "This is easy, but..." She rolled her eyes, "You have to do me a favor too. Isn't the Hundred Demons Conference about to start? The old rhino asked me to give fragrant pears, and you also said Now, I'm going to pierce pears, it's full of holes, and the demon friends are not satisfied. I want to go in a human form, this face... After all, once the Hundred Demons Conference is unveiled, it will be fixed in everyone's mind, and what will change in the future? So, it’s all a trick of the eye. All the big and handsome monsters in Jialing will go to the banquet, who knows if my lover is in it or not?”

As Bai Guang spoke, he thought about it lewdly, and even let out a furtive laugh.

Hu Chun once again showed a disgusted expression.

"Understood, you asked me to deliver pears together." Hu Chun smiled wryly. In fact, she was contemptuous, all because of her natural smile. Contempt and helplessness are the same face.

"Yeah." Bai Guang nodded, thinking of something again, "By the way, it seems that the grandson of Zhuozhou... Uncle is also good at eating, and I share the same goals, when will you introduce us to each other?"

Hu Chun smiled wryly again, still contemptuously, "Wait until your face doesn't look like a washbasin."

Bai Guang was not happy when he heard this, "How could you treat me so badly? At the beginning, you did half of your meritorious deeds, and your fur was black and white, like a cow. Did I laugh at you?"

It’s okay if you don’t mention it, but when you mention it, Hu Chun jumped up, and with a smiling face, she looked quite surprised. She asked sharply, “Are you smiling less?!”

Early the next morning, Hu Chun hurried to the Zisun Temple in the west of the city with a bag of fragrant pears on his back.She felt that she came early enough, but she didn't expect that the women who came to offer incense had already crowded the courtyard, the big incense burner in the middle was filled with high incense, offerings were piled on the altar, and a lot of incense money had been piled up .

Hu Chun was very envious. He wanted the incense to be prosperous and the gods to respond to his requests. On the one hand, it was also important for the temple to be in a lively and convenient location. Unlike her, the small temple was in the countryside, and she was not a good believer like Master Zhang, so she would not go there.

Uncle Jufeng was lazy, as if he had just woken up, sitting in front of the statue, looking at the women who wanted him.Hu Chun knew that he was remembering them, to see if they should make a wish.She fawned over to offer pears, and Ju Feng took out one and took a bite. Although he didn't smile or anything, he said slowly: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang is fine. As for the longevity, it depends on him." Doomed."

Hu Chun hugged her paws with a smile, and knew that Bai Guang was absolutely reliable in terms of eating. She said that the sweetest is the sweetest.As soon as he ran to the temple gate, his back felt hot, and his horoscope hair fell out.Hu Chun was overjoyed, it seemed that this was a great merit, she bowed to Jufeng sincerely, and returned to her place happily.

She saw Ah Hong from a distance, it was enjoying the shade under the tree in front of the Fox Fairy Temple, and it was much fatter than the previous meeting.Ah Hong can be regarded as a bit of a moral fox, but she married a wife and gave birth to cubs, so she was still a little bit worse in terms of immortality.As a fox family member, Ah Hong can see Hu Chun's body, and it also saw Hu Chun. Its big red tail swept the ground, and the whole fox jumped up and greeted it with a smile.

"Auntie, Auntie, how have you been?" Although Ah Hong is a big firefox, she can't be regarded as a smiling face, but a fox's eyes are naturally curved, and a little flattery can show a full smile and hospitality.

"You don't go to my temple for anything. What's the matter? Tell me, my aunt is busy, so I don't have time to go around with you." Hu Chun put on a show, although his tone was not polite, but he touched Ah Hong's tail with his paw, Not without envy.Ah Hong's coat color is considered to be the best among Firefox, there is no stray hair, only the tip of the tail is black and shiny, as if it can reflect the shadow.

Ah Hong blushed, although she couldn't see it, she still spoke shyly, "Auntie, my wife has another litter in her belly, which is our third litter. Look at the ages of our husband and wife. I'm afraid it's the last litter..."

Hu Chun could tell that he still had something to say, and felt very speechless. It is very good for an ordinary fox couple to have two litters. I heard that these two couples have no fewer children in each litter. They can be regarded as full of children and grandchildren. Wo, I still don't feel very happy, it's a bit too...

"Just like this, our husband and wife did not give birth to a male, a litter of little female foxes." A Hong was heartbroken.

Hu Chun let out a sigh, thinking that Ah Hong has been in the human world for a long time. Under the influence of human beings, does the fox still have the concept of inheriting the family?Is it true that the fox cave is still passed on from male to female?With a large population, everyone can change holes casually, and there is no permanent property to speak of.

"I reckon that mine will be born today, aunt—" Ah Hong clasped her paws, with a look of hope on her face, "The Sending Child Fairy is here, you can help me discuss with her, if it's still a litter of mothers, we can Give me another male."

Hu Chun wanted to leave it alone, he had known her for many years, and Ah Hong's eldest daughter even recognized her as a godmother.It's not a big deal when you say it, just treat it as a good deed.She angrily followed Ah Hong back to its fox hole.

When I was outside the cave, I heard a lot of noise inside. The love came at the right time, A Hong's daughter-in-law was about to give birth.Ah Hong was anxious, and ran into the hole bared.

Hu Chun stood outside the cave and looked around. Ah Hong and the others lived in Shiguo Mountain, so it must be the work of the mountain gods to send off their children, right?Shiguo Mountain God is a short old man, if you don't look carefully, you might miss it.

Sure enough, there was a fog, Hu Chun quickly straightened his smiling face, and was about to ask for help, but when he took a closer look, he let out a hush, and it turned out to be Jufeng.

When Ju Feng saw her, he felt a little embarrassed, and was thinking of leaving without saying hello after finishing his work.Unexpectedly, Hu Chun greeted him with a smile, and asked him about his pain.

"Uncle, is it your duty to even breed animals?"

With a straight face, Ju Feng felt that he had indeed lost his status, and said in a cold voice, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Hu Chun knew that it was over and the flattery was not done well, so he quickly laughed a little more and told what A Hong asked.

Ju Feng was in a bad mood, frowned and clicked his tongue, not knowing whether to scold Ah Hong or Hu Chun, "A little fox, so many things! It's God's will to give birth to boys and girls, male and female, I just Responsible for express delivery, can you exchange goods casually?"

Hu Chun rubbed his paws, and begged, "Uncle, please help Ah Hong. They have worked hard to give birth to a son all their lives. As long as you help me, what can Hu Chun do?" , Just say it!" Hu Chun patted his chest, thinking, the worst thing is to collect another bag of pears.

"Then you are very kind." Ju Feng sneered, and pointed at Hu Chun, Hu Chun suddenly felt a cold wind rushing towards her face, making her shiver. "You have caused me so much trouble, I see your smiling face, and it's hard to refuse you. It seems that this smiling face is very useful to you, so you should keep it with you!"

Hu Chun was puzzled, and was about to ask again, when he heard cheers in the fox cave, and Ah Hong screamed: "Son, son, I finally have a son!"

She was in a daze, then turned around, and Ju Feng had disappeared.
