My fox demon wife is actually the school beauty of my father’s class

Chapter 57 Take Care of Her
"Brother, it's quite remote here and it's not convenient to take a taxi. This is my business card. When you want to come back, you can call me and I'll come to pick you up in advance."

Before leaving, the driver very thoughtfully gave me his business card, hoping to attract repeat customers.

"Row."

Gu Qiu was about to reach out for the business card, but accidentally pulled it on his injured area, and the corners of his mouth twitched in pain.

"Master, walk slowly."

Su Jiuyue was very discerning and helped Gu Qiu take the business card.

After seeing off the driver, Su Jiuyue frowned and looked at Gu Qiu, helped him rub the painful part and said:
"Didn't you say move less? Just leave these things to me, Aqiu~"

"Get used to it, get used to it...it's hard to get used to not being able to move your hands for a while."

Gu Qiu smiled, then looked around and asked curiously:

"Aren't you talking about revisiting the old place? Why do I look a little strange here..."

In response to Gu Qiu's question, Su Jiuyue just smiled mysteriously, rubbing his shoulders while holding his hand.

"This place has been rebuilt, so it's naturally unfamiliar~ Aqiu, you'll know if you walk a little higher~"

Ah this...

Gu Qiu smiled helplessly and could only let her hold his hand and walk along the path towards the mountain.

……

Qingquan Mountain has not received much development, so the trails on the mountain are just randomly cultivated dirt roads, which are somewhat difficult to walk.

There were many evil cockleburs and sharp weeds on the roadside, which made Gu Qiu understand why Su Jiuyue didn't wear a skirt.

Those long legs would really be a waste if they were pulled up and down.

After thinking about it, Gu Qiu moved forward a little, thinking that he could help the other party to block it.

Seeing the other party's actions, a smile appeared on Su Jiuyue's pretty face, but she did not stop his behavior and followed him obediently.

As the two of them gradually climbed up, Gu Qiu found that the surrounding scenery seemed to be becoming more and more familiar.

He even knew subconsciously where the next bend was and where to rest.

"Could this be..."

Gu Qiu could vaguely guess where this place was.

He originally thought that Gu Xia's temple might not be near Zhejiang City, but he didn't expect that it was actually on this deserted hilltop.

"How's it going? Does it look familiar?"

Seeing that Gu Qiu seemed to have remembered, Su Jiuyue smiled and poked his waist.

"Nothing has changed here..."

Gu Qiu couldn't help but marveled.

From Gu Xia's time to now, based on Su Jiuyue's age, it is estimated that a thousand years have passed. Nothing has changed here. The path is still the same. The only changes are the surrounding vegetation and some things blocking the road. The obstructing boulder just disappeared.

"Because there is no development value here~"

Su Jiuyue seems to be very concerned about this place and knows Qingquan Mountain very well:

"Ever since... Gu Xia, that temple has been abandoned~ It's just that the temple is considered an ancient building, so even though no developers are interested in this place, professional departments still come here every year to ensure the most basic repairs~"

No wonder……

"Well, it's just ahead."

The end of the path was blocked by a dense vegetation.

It seems that the so-called professional department does not come here often. Judging from the denseness of the vegetation, it is estimated that they have not visited in half a year.

Knowing that Gu Qiu's hands were inconvenient, Su Jiuyue took a step forward and pushed aside the vegetation. After revealing the vegetation, it was exactly the same temple as in Gu Qiu's dream... Oh no, it should be said that it was the same temple in the memory of his previous life.

It can't be said that they are exactly the same. The passage of time has caused part of the temple to collapse irresistibly, and the parts that have been repaired are more or less different from the temple in Gu Qiu's memory.

Moreover, the white courtyard wall is obviously not as clean as before. It is covered with unknown vines and moss. There are also wild flowers and weeds peeking out from the cracks in the courtyard wall.

The afternoon sun shines through the shadows of the trees on the mottled courtyard wall, making it quiet and peaceful.

"Aqiu looks familiar to you, right?"

"It's okay, it's a little different."

Gu Qiu took a moment to look at the temple door in front of him.

This temple door was probably installed later. After all, the wooden door panel and frame could not withstand the wind and sun for so long. However, even the door that was installed later now looks miserable and crumbling.

"This door... won't fall down as soon as you push it, right?"

Looking at the temple door that was swaying in the wind, he felt a little frightened. He always felt that he was out of breath and it was very difficult to breathe.

Is it your own physical discomfort?

It seems different...

That suffocating feeling seemed to overflow from the depths of the soul.

"Alright, alright~ It's okay~"

Su Jiuyue stepped forward, pushed the temple door gently, and walked in.

Gu Qiu followed closely behind.

As soon as I walked in, a familiar smell hit my face.

"You came."

???

Gu Qiu looked back subconsciously and found that there was only the creaking temple door behind him. It seemed that the sound was just his own auditory hallucination.

However, the feeling now is really amazing.

Although judging from his physical sensations, it was clearly the first time for him to come to this place, but his soul told him that this was exactly what the other party said, a revisit to the old place.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene, Gu Qiu felt a little uneasy for some reason.

It's clear that this place is clean and comfortable, but I just don't know where this inexplicable emotion comes from.

This uneasiness expanded endlessly after he entered the temple.

The surrounding scenery suddenly faded away in color. The sound of the wind, the chirping of insects, and Su Jiuyue's words disappeared without a trace in an instant. Time and space seemed to have stopped. Gu Qiu unconsciously stepped on the moss-covered ground under his feet. The stone slab came to the center of the temple. In the temple lobby in the distance, stood a generous and strong figure wearing cassock.

That is a fool monk.

Looking at that guy's lonely and lonely back, Gu Qiu couldn't help but feel a feeling of distress and sadness in his heart.

Come closer, come closer.

Gu Qiu could almost see the other person's profile.

The shabby cassock that was full of patches and almost losing its color, the simple coarse linen clothes inside the cassock, and the string of Buddhist beads he always wore on his wrist.

Gu Xia.

This is his name.

Like a bolt from the blue, countless memory fragments poured into Gu Qiu's mind.

The sudden tingling sensation was not just as if the brain was about to explode for some unknown reason, but also countless cramps echoed throughout the body.

Gu Qiu's legs weakened and he fell to the ground, curling up on the cold stone bricks and howling in pain.His vision gradually became blurred. At the last moment when his consciousness disappeared, Gu Qiu vaguely saw that the surrounding scenery returned to normal. Su Jiuyue shouted something anxiously and ran towards him.

And Gu Xia slowly turned back.

"Donor, take good care of her, she is a good girl."

……

When Gu Qiu's consciousness returned again, he came to Gu Xia's body again.

Good guy, you stopped pretending right after you figured out it was not a dream, right?

Showdown?
But thinking back to the pain that just came over, Gu Qiu felt palpitated.

The pain was almost as painful as Ling Chi's.

If he hadn't fainted, he would have collapsed, right?
This memory immediately followed the scene where Gu Xia fell to the ground.

It was getting late, and the cumulus clouds in the distance were dyed a gorgeous orange-red color by the setting sun.

The orange light of the sunset fell on the path at the entrance of the temple, making it look particularly lonely and lonely.

and many more……

That doesn't seem to be sunset light.

There was a commotion in the distance, and all kinds of noises reached Gu Xia's ears.

come yet……

He stood up from the ground with a wry smile and looked at the flames not far away from the path.

That was the sound of soldiers, holding torches high, marching towards here.

"Sinner Gu Xia! What else do you have to argue with?"

Soon, dozens of soldiers arrived in front of Gu Xia's temple. The middle-aged soldier in charge had a cold face. He stepped directly into the temple, glanced around with squinted eyes, and then stopped at Gu Xia. Xia's calm face.

"I heard from my informant... Gu Xia, you seem to be very familiar with that fox demon? Where is that fox demon now? I advise you to hand her over obediently, and you can avoid the death penalty."

Hearing this, Gu Xia's body trembled slightly.

Sure enough, shouldn't we just take chances...

However, listening to the other party's tone, it seemed that he didn't know that Su Jiuyue was no longer in the temple.

The secret whistle hidden in the surrounding area probably just discovered Su Jiuyue's trace and ran to report it, so he didn't see her leaving.

After a moment, Gu Xia raised his head and looked at the leading soldier with a smile:

"The poor monk doesn't know what you are talking about, donor."

"It seems that you will stop crying when you see the coffin."

The soldier's face darkened, and then he shouted to his subordinates behind him:

"Search for me!"

Looking at the group of soldiers with ferocious faces and holding torches and weapons swarming up from the temple gate, Gu Xia thought of the fox demon Su Jiuyue for no reason and smiled sadly.

Ah……

Who is more like a human and who is more like a demon...

"You rushed into the Buddhist territory with such a big fanfare, don't you think too little of me?"

Gu Xia waved the broom handle that was broken into two parts, and struck a powerful and heavy blow on the face of an unlucky soldier who was trying to pass by him, knocking him unconscious to the ground.

"Oh? Is Master Gu going to disobey the imperial edict and become an enemy of the imperial court?"

The leader of the soldiers asked conspiratorially.

Gu Xia suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, then waved his broken stick and pointed it straight at the sanctimonious leader standing behind his subordinates.

"Imperial edict? This poor monk only believes in Buddhism. Your court's orders have nothing to do with me?!"

……

I don’t know how long I ran in the forest.

Night had slowly fallen, and Su Jiuyue arrived at a small town.

However, this small town seems to be a little abnormal at this time.

Generally speaking, after night falls, every household should stay closed and rest at home.

But at this time, the lights in the town were still bright, and the people in the town gathered on the road, seeming to be discussing something.

Vaguely, Su Jiuyue seemed to hear words like "jun ye" and "fully armed".

Wanting to know some information about the court's movements, she buttoned up the hood of her robe, wiped some dust from the ground on her face to hide her face, and quietly blended into the crowd.

"What happened to those soldiers? They were still stationed near our town in the afternoon. I just went home to rest for less than two hours. Why did they disappear?"

"Oh, I guess the demon who was wanted before has been found."

"Ah? Found it? Where is it?"

"Hey, I heard from my husband that he went up the mountain to collect herbs an hour ago and came back, and he happened to encounter those soldiers. It is said that it was the Master Gu from the mountain who hid the monster in the temple!"

I don’t know which woman with a long tongue uttered such a sentence, and the crowd suddenly went into an uproar.

"How is it possible?! How can a monk associate with a demon?!"

"Hey, hey, don't forget, that demon is a female fox demon, she's really beautiful! Maybe it's the host Gu who has some evil intentions..."

"What you said... seems to make sense!"

The crowd was noisy, and everyone was talking to each other, but Su Jiuyue still heard clearly what they were talking about.

Those soldiers... went to find Gu Xia?

When Su Jiuyue was feeling lucky that she left in time, she suddenly recalled Gu Xia's abnormal behavior when she returned to the temple.

No, that's not really the case, is it?
A bad premonition flashed through her heart, and she hurriedly withdrew from the crowd. Without thinking, she came outside the town and looked at the mountains not far away.

Although this town was diagonally opposite Gu Xia's temple, it was still late at night. With her demonic eyesight, she could easily see the flickering firelight on the other side of the mountain.

Those soldiers are really in that temple.

Gu Xia's abnormal behaviors and words just now were played repeatedly in Su Jiuyue's mind, and she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

She is a fox demon who usually lives alone. At most, she is only familiar with the owner of the tea shop she often goes to.

Even though she was wanted and jumped repeatedly on the edge of death, she never felt any waves in her heart.

Ever since she had become accustomed to living a life of running around and being at home all over the world, she already felt as if her heart was dead and there would be no ups and downs.

But Su Jiuyue did not expect that today in this remote country, for a dull and dull monk, her chest would never calm down.

On the streets of the small town, people were running around telling each other, and the shouts were intermittent, appearing and disappearing, and they even had a bit of gloating and watching the excitement.

In this wilderness, such large battles are not common.

"Master Gu... the hidden demon... wants to behead..."

Just a few simple words, but Su Jiuyue was stunned as if struck by lightning.

Although she tried hard to convince herself that Gu Xia's abnormality was just a coincidence, she still couldn't control her body and turned into a sharp arrow and ran towards the mountain.
