Because of Qiao Wenqing's careful care every day, the arrow wound on my leg gradually recovered, and I also grew a lot of flesh on my body, and my coat color was much better than before.

During this period of getting along, I already know Qiao Wenqing a little. He is a very simple person, he has never married in his life, and although he has lived a hard life, he is a very regular person.

Every day he would get up very early, light a fire in the thatched kitchen behind his house, and make rice porridge for breakfast. In the mornings, he sometimes goes to the fields not far away to tend to the crops he grows. At noon, he would bring back the vegetables he had grown to make a very good lunch that was all vegetarian. In the afternoon, go up to the mountains to chop wood, and then go to the city to sell money for some necessities, or buy some pork to eat.

I have heard about his past, the dangerous animals he encountered when chopping wood, what to pay attention to when farming, the fruits that can be eaten on the mountain, how to get wild vegetables without a bitter taste, etc. But every time I could only listen, I could not discuss with him, and gradually I would fall asleep, and when I woke up, he had set up a nest in the room for me.

Sometimes when I have nothing to do, I will follow him to the street to see the excitement, and when I see delicious food, I will jump to other people's stalls, Qiao Wenqing will understand and buy me the food. It's just that sometimes it is inevitable that he will miss and knock over a stack of bowls or a cup or something, which makes the stall owner scold, and finally Qiao Wenqing has to apologize to others, buy me the food, and compensate for the losses of others.

To say, Qiao Wenqing is really a good person, he won't blame me every time I cause trouble, but will only tell me to be careful in the future. After a few similar incidents, I can't help but feel sorry for the money I lost, and I will be extra careful in the future, and I will not cause trouble again.

Danger will always come unexpectedly. It was a fine afternoon, and Qiao Wenqing carried a load of firewood to a wealthy family in the city. I also went with me that day, and although I am not a person who has never seen the world in my mind, I can't help but feel a little curious when I see the ancient luxury mansion for the first time, and I look around to my heart's content.

It is said that curiosity kills cats, which is not bad at all, but that day I got lost in the courtyard and was planted in the hands of a child who was no more than seven years old. Qiao Wenqing, who couldn't find me, looked for me later, but was deceived by the child and the housekeeper in his house, in fact, I was in the room behind him at that time, but at that time my mouth was wrapped in a cloth strip by a naughty child, so that I couldn't cry out for help when I heard him ask the child and the housekeeper about my whereabouts.

The kid kept me in his room as a pet and played with me for a day. He was too young for me to hurt him, until night fell and the child fell asleep in bed, and I ran away as the door was opened.

Hiding my figure all the way, I rushed left and right, and finally slipped out of the house from a tree growing against the courtyard wall in the backyard.

There was no half a figure on the street, only dappled light and shadow from the windows of the houses on the side of the road. I have long forgotten the way I came, I don't know if Qiao Wenqing is still looking for me, will he be sad if I am gone?

Walking alone on an unfamiliar street, with no direction, just following the possible sections in your mind. In the second half of the night, I came to a remote section, I thought I was on the right track, and I quickened my pace and ran forward, but it was a strange barren meadow.

I'm lost, I'm tired, and I'm already crying in my heart. Lie down silently in the barren meadow and wait until dawn before leaving. Fortunately, it was summer, and although the night was a little cool, it was not cold, and I fell asleep with the sound of insects and frogs around me.

When I woke up, it was already dawn, I stretched, got up and continued to look for the way back to Qiao Wenqing's house, I didn't dare to go to the place where there were people, so I had to look for it in the middle of nowhere.

After a morning of stop-and-go, my stomach began to feel a little hungry. I haven't eaten since I ran out yesterday, and the food that the child in my stomach fed me has disappeared.

But in this barren mountain and wilderness, where can I go to find food? Finally, when I saw a small lake, I drank a few sips of water to satisfy my hunger.

It seemed impossible for me to find my way back, it was getting dark, my stomach was hungrier, and I might have to sleep in the wilderness again. Looking back now, I was so bold last night, I actually slept in the grass all night, and if a snake or a wolf appeared in the grass at that time, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Just when I was thinking about how to spend tonight, I felt something dazzle in front of me, and when I looked up, I saw a temple building on the mountainside in front of me.

At that time, I thought, if it is a temple, isn't it impossible to kill living beings there, and it is absolutely safe to go there. Thinking about it, I ran over as fast as I could, and when I got closer, I found that it was indeed a temple, and two small novices were closing the door from inside.

Before the door could close, I stepped inside.

"What's going on?" Behind him, there was an exclamation from the little novice.

Another voice said, "It's just a fox, don't worry about it."

I walked inside, I hadn't eaten for a long time and I was so hungry! When I passed by the Daxiong Hall, I saw that the door of the hall was not closed, so I walked in.

As soon as you enter the main hall, the first thing you see is the tribute on the tribute table. Looking up at the tall and solemn Buddha statue, I said in my heart: "I'm sorry, Buddha, I'm really hungry, don't worry about me." Then the two hind legs stood firmly, and the person stood up, and folded his front paws together and bowed three times to the Buddha statue.

After the prayer, I jumped on the tribute table, took out an apple with my front paws, and devoured it.

Just when I was halfway through my meal, a monk suddenly broke in, and when I saw me lying on the tribute table and nibbling on apples, I shouted and rushed forward: "Where did the fox come from, how dare you offend the Buddha and steal the tribute." Hurry down. ”

My appetite for food was disturbed at once, and in a fit of rage, I raised my front paws and grabbed at the monk who was already approaching.

"Hey, you're pretty fierce, look at how I clean you up." The monk dodged, grabbed a stick in his hand, and hit him violently.

I scurried and got off the tribute table. The monk's stick missed, and he quickly withdrew his hand and chased after me again. I dodged again. In this way, he ran after me and turned around in the main hall......

"Zijue, what are you doing?" A loud voice rang out in the doorway.

The monk immediately stopped, dropped the stick in his hand, folded his hands, and gasped and said, "Master, you came just in time, there is a fox stealing tribute, and the disciple is not catching it."

It's over, another monk is coming, it seems that I can't stay here. I thought to myself.

However, what I didn't expect was that the old monk didn't want to drive me away, but said to Na Zijue: "Amitabha, the monks are compassionate, and since this fox came to the monastery to steal tributes instead of going to the farmhouse to bite and eat poultry, it shows that it is also a good person, and I believe that the Buddha will not blame him." Later, you will exchange the tribute, and give it to eat if you change it! Amitabha. ”

"Yes, Master!" Zijue replied respectfully.

The old monk looked at me and said, "Zijue, I see that your face was full of murder just now, it seems that your cultivation is not enough, and you will think about it after you go back." ”

Zijue replied, "Yes," and the old monk walked away.

I spent the night in the temple. Early the next morning I started to look for the way back to Qiao Wenqingna, and this time I had a good eye to remember the location of the temple so that I could have a place to stay if I couldn't find it again.

However, I searched for four or five days in a row, but I still could not find my way back, and on the sixth day, it began to rain heavily, so I did not go out.

I began to think about it, maybe my fate with him was over, I was just a fox in this life, and now all I needed most was a place to shelter from the rain and have food to eat. The monks in this temple are all kind-hearted, and during the few days they lived here, they would get me a vegetarian dish and rice when they ate. The reason why they knew that I was eating was because one night, I was secretly eating in the kitchen and was seen by them.

After figuring it out, I stayed in the temple all the time, and the old monk who had helped me out of the siege also asked his disciples to clean up a meditation room for me to live in.

After that, every day I didn't have anything else to do, just basking in the sun every day and listening to them chanting sutras......

Day after day, year after year, I watched the monks grow old and the young monks come in, and I don't know how many years I've lived.

One very hot afternoon, I was bored walking around the temple and accidentally came to the gate of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

At this time, a pair of young men and women walked out of the main hall, the man was handsome and mighty, wearing a purple and gold crown and a dark red fashion. The woman was beautiful, dressed gorgeously and generously, and the two walked past me side by side.

However, it was not the appearance of the eyes that made me pay so much attention to them, but the familiarity that came from the depths of my soul when I saw the man!

Seeing him walk out of the temple gate step by step, I sent the gods to follow him. As soon as I left the temple gate, suddenly a lightning bolt suddenly lit up in the sky, and there was a loud "boom", which hit me directly.

I felt numb all over my body, my brain was blank, and I didn't know anything after that......
