Chapter 5
I was woken up by the heart-tickling sensation on my nose.
I sneezed vigorously and opened my eyes, and I was greeted by a large, fluffy tail.
When I woke up, the tail was closed, revealing a pointed mouth and watery eyes—the black-tailed fox I had rescued that day.
I tried to raise my hand and touch its head, but I found myself so limp that I couldn't even move a finger.
I rolled my eyes and looked around, and the surroundings were empty, the beams were covered with cobwebs, and the flying paintings could be faintly seen on the mud that had not yet peeled off the walls. It seems that this is the side hall of the abandoned temple.
It's probably sunset outside! I saw that the rays of sunlight from the roof drains had moved to the east wall.
I don't know what kind of fruit the damn master gave me to eat, and it made me fall asleep all afternoon.
There was a thick layer of straw under me, and a fishy smell came to my nose, and I held my breath and looked at the little fox with the black tail, it seemed that this little guy had come to repay the favor, but I didn't know if it could save me out.
This group of damn rabbits dares to yin me, and when they regain their strength, see that I don't serve his rabbit nest!
I thought angrily, but I saw that the black-tailed rabbit suddenly pricked up its ears, and then turned around and disappeared.
I couldn't move my head, except for the sound of a sneer, and then the room fell silent—and I don't know where he was hiding.
Outside the hall there seemed to be the sound of a small beast walking on tiptoe, and the footsteps reached the door, paused, and then a small furry head poked in through the hole under the threshold.
I rolled my eyes with great effort, and finally I could see that it was a small white rabbit cub entering.
It's Little Five!
I closed my eyes and pretended not to be awake, and then I tiptoed in to the sound of footsteps, and then a small furry paw was placed on my face.
"Grandma, wake up!"
Xiao Wu pushed me hard, and I didn't move.
"What should I do?" Xiao Wu's voice was crying: "The head of the house said that he would throw you into the river, if you don't wake up, you will be drowned......"
What the?
Our eyes widened.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu pounced over happily, rubbed my neck with tears in his eyes and said, "Grandma, you have finally woken up, you should run away quickly, it will be too late if you don't escape!" The head of the house said that he would throw you into the river after dinner! ”
I opened my mouth hard, but I couldn't make a sound, and I could only curse the dead rabbit in vain.
I'm sure I haven't seen that head of the house, so why would he bear to do this to me?
Seeing that I didn't speak, Xiao Wu thought about it and suddenly realized: "Grandma can't speak, right?" The head of the family said that after eating the cloud immortal, he would not even have the strength to speak. ”
That fruit turned out to be a fairy in the clouds? I really underestimated these bunnies!
Listening to the black-haired old fox, the fairy in the cloud is a fruit produced in Qingqiu, and the taste is not very strange, but just a drop of juice can make an old fox with soft bones and fluttering immortals. There is a good brew to extract its juice into the wine, the beautiful name is said to be brewed by the immortals, this wine later fell into the world, there was a fox who inadvertently drank this wine and then drunk for a hundred years. A hundred years later, before he could wake up, the time for him to cross the catastrophe came, so the fox was confused and was struck by the thunder in a drunken dream.
Later, the fox clan respected this immortal brew and stayed away.
The "Fox Book" also mentioned the fairy in the clouds, but there were only six words - "round, transparent, light and tasteless", because I didn't recognize the fruit at all when I first saw it, so I swallowed three without thinking.
Luckily, I haven't been drunk for 180 years!
I just don't know where these rabbits got this thing? How could they go to Qingqiu?
Xiao Wu pushed me again, and saw that I still didn't move, so he sat on the ground, hugged his head and said distressedly: "The head of the family asked Daddy to do it as soon as it gets dark, time is running out, and you can't move Grandma, what can I do?" ”
After speaking, he raised his head and stared at me unwillingly: "Grandma, I reminded you that the fruit is inedible at that time, why do you still eat it?" How stupid! ”
When did you warn me, little bunny?
I gritted my teeth secretly, and then suddenly remembered Xiao Wu's little eyes that were still talking...... Xiao Wu seemed to say that he also wanted to eat fruit, and the gray rabbit scolded him......
Well, who knew you were hinting at me coming?
I sighed silently, and then continued to stand up helplessly, only to see that Xiao Wu suddenly shook his ears, and then slipped into the straw pile beside me. At this time, I realized that there was a noise of footsteps outside the hall.
This damn fairy in the clouds has made his hearing dull!
I closed my eyes and pretended to be drunk.
The footsteps stopped outside the temple, and I opened my eyes slit, and saw the gray rabbit silently poking its head out of the hole in the threshold. I hurriedly closed my eyes, paused for a moment, and then heard the voice of the gray rabbit ringing beside me: "Master, please come in, I see, she hasn't woken up yet." ”
Hearing the sound of Suosuo, I felt the breath of a strange rabbit beside me.
Well, there seem to be two familiar rabbits behind them, it should be the rabbit San'er and his eldest brother - it is the Cuiru that these two goods have robbed, I remember their taste.
Feeling several pairs of eyes staring at me firmly, I couldn't help but start to feel hairy in my heart.
Thankfully, they didn't take long to disperse, and I quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then lifted my eyelids a slit.
Then he saw the gray rabbit man standing up and following behind a white rabbit more than a foot high, and there were two and a half rabbits on the side, one gray and one white, and the white rabbit and the two and a half rabbits walked to the middle of the side hall and sat around a broken stone table, and the gray rabbit hung his hands and waited respectfully on the side.
As soon as they sat down, the three rabbits turned into human shapes, and the two half-sized rabbits were indeed the white-robed man and the gray-clothed rabbit San'er who kidnapped Cuiru that day, and the big white rabbit more than a foot long turned into a half-old little old man, pouting with a fat belly, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, a round and fat face was full of red light, and he always looked smiling, just like the rich man who was rich and blessed in the play.
This, I guess it's the head of the house in the mouth of the gray rabbit! The name seems to be called ...... White Rabbit!
I saw that the white rabbit, who was suspected of being the head of the house, cleared his throat and said, "Then it's decided, gray rabbit, you will be responsible for doing it when the time comes." I'm afraid this little fox won't wake up in a year and a half. You just have to put it in a sack and throw it into the river, and before you know it, even if it's the old fox in the fox village, you can't do anything about us. ”
After speaking, he looked at the gray rabbit and said, "You don't need to be afraid, speaking of which, we have also done a good deed!" Let this little fox drown unconsciously in a drunken dream, and save her from suffering, right? ”
