Chapter 435: Inside the Red Tent

After the other party left, he had time to pay attention to other things - such as the surrounding environment.

The room was not big, and the table, chairs and bed were all placed together without any separation. Generally, this was the style of the poor. Ordinary people who were a little more particular would not let the bed be directly exposed, and at least add a screen in front of the bed.

Moreover, compared with the slightly simple wooden tables and chairs, this big bed was much more exquisite. Not only were there pink gauze hanging on the four corners, but the bedding on the bed was also made of silk, which looked soft and smooth. There was a cluster of plum blossoms and a small bronze incense burner at the head of the bed. The intoxicating fragrance was obviously emitted from the burner.

Wasn't this woman too careless?

She led a strange man to the place where she slept so easily, and she didn't worry that the latter would do something inappropriate in the room?

However, when she thought of the fate of the two hunters, Fu Zhuzhi restrained his thoughts again - what was he thinking about? She was a demon, and even if she was a woman, she was not something that ordinary people could deal with. He had seen this in his wife. She looked weak, but she didn't even breathe when she went back and forth to draw water from the well.

Fu Zhuzhi came to the window, opened the paper window and looked out. He could vaguely see other people in the manor. Some seemed to be ordinary people, while some were monsters like his wife.

They were busy with their work, some were drying clothes, and some were hanging dried meat, which made this secluded and dark place full of the breath of life.

It was unknown what kind of monster the owner of Yuetai Villa was.

However, as of now, this point was somewhat different from what Xue'er said - although she was caught, she didn't seem to be punished too harshly.

"Sir, I've been waiting for a long time."

Half an hour later, the door opened, and the fox girl appeared in front of Fu Zhuzhi again.

Fu Zhuzhi stood up quickly and looked behind her.

Unfortunately, he didn't see the figure that haunted him.

"Where's Xue'er?"

"The master said that the punishment is not over yet. She is still in prison and cannot come to see you yet."

"Imprisonment?"

"It's the same as what you often call house arrest." The fox girl put the big basket in her hand on the table and then closed the door. "No one in the villa can go against the master's wishes, so if you insist on seeing her, you can only wait for a while."

"How long do you have to wait?"

"About four or five days, it depends on when the master calms down."

"Can't you just take a look first?"

The fox girl shook her head.

"Okay, I'll wait!" Fu Zhuzhi bit his lip and turned to walk out the door - he finally got here, how could he leave without even seeing his wife.

"Wait, young master, where are you going?" The fox girl stopped him.

"Of course I'm going to find a place to stay..."

"Do you think this is a human town? There are restaurants and inns?" She smiled with her hands covering her mouth, "Unless you want to sleep outside and freeze to death, you can only sleep here."

"But you don't even have a side room here..." Fu Zhuzhi stuttered for a while.

"I will go find a friend to live with me when the time comes, so you don't have to worry about that."

"I see, that's really a bother for you, girl." The scholar was immediately grateful. She did this for a stranger. This girl is really a beauty.

"Eat something first. I guess you're hungry too." The fox girl opened the basket, which contained a large plate of dishes, meat, vegetables, and a pot of wine.

This was true. After a day of traveling on the mountain road, he was already starving. He was just worried about his wife and ignored the hunger. Now that he was sure of his wife's whereabouts, the hunger and fatigue of his body surged up.

"Then... I'd better obey your order." Fu Zhuzhi bowed deeply to the fox girl, and then sat down at the table. "By the way, I don't know your name yet..."

"My name is Youlan, and I'm a fox demon."

Sure enough, you can tell from her ears. "What about Xue'er..."

"You and her are married, but you haven't seen her true form?" Youlan said with a squint, "She is a rabbit demon."

So that's it, no wonder she never wanted to tell me this.

Maybe she thinks rabbits are both stupid and weak.

Really... he obviously doesn't care about Xue'er's identity.

The two of them ate and talked, and time passed quickly. When they were full, the last ray of sunlight outside the window disappeared, and the night enveloped this secluded valley.

From the fox girl, Fu Zhuzhi learned a lot about his wife's past, and also got to know a little about Yuetai Villa, but the owner of Yuetai Villa was the only one that the other party didn't mention, and it seemed that he didn't want to reveal any news about the owner.

As they chatted, Fu Zhuzhi suddenly noticed that Youlan's eyes stayed on his feet.

"What's wrong?"

"Your shoes are wet, why don't you take them off?"

This question made the scholar stunned.

All the way, his feet were indeed painful and itchy, and he kept enduring even after arriving at the villa.

But taking off shoes in front of the benefactor was too rude.

But Youlan had already come over, pulled him up, and took him to sit on the bed.

"Miss?"

"Just call me by my name." Youlan bent down and helped him take off his cloth shoes, seemingly not caring how dirty they were.

Then came the damp and smelly socks.

She still peeled it off with her delicate hands, put it aside, and then took out a handkerchief from her waist and wiped his feet carefully, not even leaving the gaps between his fingers. "The humidity in the mountains is heavy, and keeping your hands and feet dry is the most important thing, otherwise it is easy to get sick, peel and rot."

Looking down from above, Fu Zhuzhi could see the fox girl's long eyelashes, focused eyes, and beautiful figure.

Is there really a woman who can do this?

Looking at the other person's lowered eyebrows and pleasing appearance, the scholar couldn't help but feel a little dry in the mouth.

"What's wrong, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Youlan raised her head, her red lips slightly opened.

Fu Zhuzhi felt a bang in his head, "I..."

"You are tired. You have been anxious for so many days, and you have accumulated a lot of pressure."

Her hand gently brushed the instep, along the leg, "If you want to relax, I can help you."

"How, how can I help?"

"Just lie down, don't think about anything, it will be very comfortable."

The fox girl's voice seemed to ring directly in his ears, making people feel an indescribable impulse.

Fu Zhuzhi felt that the hands had climbed up his chest, then his neck, cheeks... The slender fingertips scraped on the skin, which was so comfortable to the heart.

His coat was taken off silently.

That's right...Just lie down like this, relax like she said, and think about Xue'er tomorrow...

Wait, Fu Zhuzhi was stunned, no, didn't he come for his wife?

How can he be so close to a strange woman?

In an instant, he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat! Almost subconsciously, he jumped up and pushed the fox girl who was already leaning against him away, "Sorry, girl... I'd better find another place to sleep!"

In that instant, the house, the bed and the red tent disappeared. Fu Zhuzhi was surprised to find that he was sitting in a tree hole. What was originally a bed became an ordinary wooden platform. There was a bonfire burning around, and there were densely packed figures standing next to the fire, at least nearly a hundred people.

They all looked at him without saying a word, with numbness and indifference in their eyes.

"Miss You, this is--"

"Why do you have to do this? Isn't it good to have a beautiful dream?" Youlan's gentleness was gone, and there was no lack of anger and impatience in her tone. Her face was even covered with a layer of frost. In just a short moment, she seemed to have changed into a different person.
