Five days later, by the Tianchi Waterfall.

"Little fox, have you found the family that sells alcohol?" The fox elder opened his eyes slightly and looked at Zhou Hongxian.

"I've searched for more than ten miles at the foot of the mountain in the east, but I haven't even found a single person, let alone a wine seller."

"That's it!"

"No, old fox, it won't work within more than ten miles, I'll look for it from afar, and I can always find it!"

Ten days later.

"Little fox, I don't want to drink my daughter Hong, you don't have to insist so much!"

"No, Fox Lao, I will definitely find it!"

A month later, the snow in Taibai Mountain was even deeper.

The fox elder finally sighed: "You have been looking for so long, and you haven't found it yet, you can only say that this is the will of God!" Little fox, you really have no chance with cultivation in this life, give up! ”

"Old Fox, even if I learn from Yugong to move mountains, I can always find it in the end!"

The old fox smiled: "Foolish man moves mountains? That's a rumor that a wise man said and a fool heard, and at the end of the story, it wasn't the Emperor of Heaven who took action to end the matter? Stubbornness is fruitless, and I can't keep dealing with you! ”

Zhou Hongxian was not reconciled, he learned to kowtow to the old fox like a human: "Old fox, please give me another month, okay?" If you can't find it again, I won't bother you anymore! ”

The fox elder was stunned, and after a long time, Fang said: "Your requirements are too high, I will give you ten days at most, don't blame me if you don't succeed!" ”

Zhou Hongxian nodded gratefully.

In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of Zhou Hongxian's agreement with the fox elder, and Zhou Hongxian was standing on a white wilderness at this time.

Zhou Hongxian's heart was extremely cold, so far, he had spent a full forty days searching for a radius of forty miles to the east of Taibai Mountain, but he hadn't even seen half a figure, let alone seen any people or villages. The foot of Taibai Mountain is really too desolate!

Is this providence? Forget it, it doesn't seem interesting to go back, anyway, I'm a little tired, just find a random place to rest here!

Thinking like this, Zhou Hongxian lay down directly on the snow, and after a while, the goose-feather-like snowflakes covered his fiery red fur with a thick quilt, his head gradually became a little sleepy, and his eyelids began to fight.

"Big brother, I'm so sleepy and cold, I really can't walk!"

"Erlang, eldest brother knows that you are uncomfortable, but don't close your eyes, grit your teeth and walk ten miles further, you will see a village, where there is an old man who sells wine, as long as you drink a bowl of wine, your body will be warm!

"But really, big brother?"

"Can I lie to my brother?"

"Okay, big brother, I'll listen to you!"

Hearing such an abrupt conversation, Zhou Hongxian's head was agitated, and his eyes suddenly opened again. He stood up with his might, then shook off the thick snow and looked south, only to see two figures departing with their backs to him, leaving a series of deep footprints behind them.

Zhou Hongxian didn't know why, he wanted to cry, but he still held back his tears, because he was afraid that the tears would condense into ice when they fell, which would blur his vision. And he didn't think about it, so he chased this series of footprints from afar.

The next day, Zhou Hongxian returned to Tianchi Waterfall, and shouted excitedly: "Old Fox, I found it, I found it!" Fifty miles southeast of the foot of the mountain, there is a village where there is an old man who sells wine, and the one who sells it is his daughter Hong! ”

The fox elder didn't bother to open his eyes, and only said in a light tone: "This is the eleventh day, and the deadline we agreed on has passed!" ”

Zhou Hongxian's excited expression suddenly froze, and after a long time, he lowered his head, and then turned to leave.

"Where are you going, little fox?" The fox elder looked at Zhou Hongxian's limping back and asked.

"I don't know."

"Hey, you're back! I'm not stubborn if you're stubborn, it's nothing worse for a day or two! ”

Zhou Hongxian suddenly turned to look at the old fox without making any sound, but there were already several long ice picks hanging under his eyes and nose.

Fifty miles at the foot of Taibai Mountain, there is a village called Baishan Village.

Baishan Village was originally very close to Taibai Mountain, less than 20 miles, but in recent decades, there have been many big insects on Taibai Mountain coming down the mountain to eat people, causing people to panic, and gradually the people in the village moved farther and farther, until they moved to this place to be a little calmer.

Among the people of the village, only the brave hunters dared to go up the mountain in order to support their families, and many of these people never returned.

The only son of Mr. Li at the entrance of the village failed to come back that year, and Mr. Li can't help crying every time he thinks about it now, thinking that if Da Lang was not so wild, he would learn to make wine with me at home, and he would not let Xiao Lao'er and I end up childless.

Although life is so difficult, Mr. Li still barely survives by relying on his own winemaking skills. It's just that in the past half a month, strange things have happened frequently in Mr. Li's house, and the wine hidden in his cellar is always one less jar every few days for no reason, which really makes Mr. Li feel distressed and a little confused.

As soon as the sun set today, Mr. Li went down to the cellar with an oil lamp, and after counting the number of wine jars, he couldn't help but lament: "Why is there another jar missing, and if it goes on like this, how can I live this life?" ”

Uncle Li is also very helpless, these days he is not without looking for the reason, but he looked around the cellar and couldn't find a clue, today he also specially waited for dark to check, but as soon as he came here, he found that there was less wine, this whole day but not even a person passed by his cellar next to ah, so if you want to say that someone stole it, who believes?

It's not a human stealing, so what else can it be stolen? Then it can only be a demon, but what can you do with it if you have a demon?

Uncle Li stood in the cellar for a long time, and finally sighed and walked out of the cellar, and then his cry came faintly: "God, what kind of sin have I done, why do you treat the little old man so poorly?" ”

Just after Uncle Li closed the cellar door, there was a sudden sound of a rope in the cellar, and then someone whispered: "I'm scared to death, I was almost discovered!" ”

After that, in the blink of an eye, on the snow outside the cellar of Mr. Li's house, a red fox appeared there inexplicably, it turned its back to Mr. Li's home, looked back at Mr. Li's home, and showed a strange sad expression on his face. "I actually went to a lonely old man's house to steal something, I'm really not human!"

At last the red fox ran out of the village without looking back, and in the light of the snow, a small cloth bag hanging from under its neck swayed in the wind.
