In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, on a full moon night, Zhou Hong was about to worship the moon and breathe, when the white fox suddenly said: "Little fox, I want to drink my daughter's red!" ”

Zhou Hongxian said: "Old Fox, since Uncle Li can't brew alcohol, haven't you decided to quit drinking?" ”

The white fox said faintly: "I quit once a few decades ago, but I have been drinking for more than ten years in a row, and the addiction has come up again, it's hard to quit!" ”

"But now that Mr. Li is gone, no one knows how to make his daughter popular!"

After a long time, the white fox shook his head and sighed: "So don't drink it, you continue to cultivate!" ”

"Oh."

At noon the next day, the white fox was lying on the stone basking in the sun, and suddenly said, "Little fox, I want to drink my daughter's red again!" ”

Zhou Hongxian was surprised and said, "Old Fox, didn't you say you wouldn't drink last night?" ”

The white fox's tone this time was a little resolute: "Last night was last night, and now the addiction is up, you can't drink it!" ”

"But there are no winemakers within a radius of sixty miles!"

The white fox glanced at Zhou Hongxian deeply, and suddenly sneered: "Where is the desperation when you asked me for the truth?" If you can't find it within sixty miles, you can't look for me from afar, do you want to continue learning the Tao? ”

Zhou Hongxian was stunned, although the old fox had never treated him favorably in the past eighteen years, it was the first time he had heard such a serious tone as today, so he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart: "Old fox, why don't I go down the mountain tomorrow to find out?" ”

"Why tomorrow, it's early today, isn't it too late to hurry?"

"Yes."

"Take a walk to the south more, so that you have a better chance of encountering a human village, and don't come back if you can't find it!"

"Okay—okay!"

After seeing Zhou Hongxian, who was descending the mountain, the white fox's eyes suddenly looked different, and finally showed a trace of upset expression and said: "What's wrong with me lately, why do I always think of people and things in the past, after so many years, I still can't forget it?" ”

It is said that Zhou Hong is now going down the mountain to look for his daughter Hong again for the old fox, and he is facing south all the way according to the old fox's instructions, but he has walked for a day and a night, although he has passed by a few small villages, but the family that sells wine is not seen.

However, the fox old "don't come back if you can't find it" words are vivid, Zhou Hongxian thought to himself that if he messed up, even if he went back cheekily, with the fox Lao's personality, it would definitely be impossible for him to continue to learn from him. So he had to grit his teeth and continue to walk south, regardless of it, and after a few days and nights, he was already far, far away from Taibai Mountain.

On this day, Zhou Hongxian passed by a wilderness, and he was already a little hungry, but he was not close to mountains or water, and he really couldn't find anything to eat, but fortunately, Zhou Hongxian brought his own dry food.

As a fox, how did Zhou Hongxian bring dry food? That is naturally the palm-sized cloth bag tied around his neck, this cloth bag is a magic weapon given to him by the fox elder, called the Qiankun bag, which has the meaning of Qiankun, Zhou Hongxian was very happy when he first got it, because it reminded him of the storage ring in an online science fiction novel he read in college, or the Aladdin's magic lamp in "One Thousand and One Nights" that he watched when he was a child.

Zhou Hongxian stretched out his paws and shook the cloth bag, and then silently thought about what he wanted to take, and after a while, something appeared in front of him out of thin air - it was a rabbit leg that had been roasted.

Well, it's time for a good meal! However, just as Zhou Hongxian picked up the rabbit leg, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming from all directions. When he looked up, he was so frightened that he saw that more than a dozen wild wolves had appeared in the wilderness, and they were standing not far away, looking at him with fierce eyes.

Zhou Hongxian was a little trembling, and tried to solve this dispute in a reasonable way: "Big brother wolf, everyone is a canine, a family!" I'll give you this rabbit leg, don't kill me, okay? ”

But wolves and foxes are incompatible, and the eyes of the wolves are also naturally yellow-brown, and they obviously don't have intelligence, so Zhou Hong is now making a mistake! The wolves suddenly swarmed in, and Zhou Hongxian couldn't care about anything anymore, so he just threw the rabbit legs aside, turned around and ran away, while the wolves behind were in hot pursuit.

But how can Zhou Hongxian's little short legs outrun the wolves? So the distance is getting closer step by step, and Zhou Hongxian feels that he is in danger.

"Whoosh-whoosh-" There were several cacophony noises in the air.

Zhou Hongxian looked up and saw a few arrows flying towards him, he was taken aback, and immediately became anxious, regardless of whether the wolves behind him were chasing or not, he only held his head and lay on the ground. Because he knows that if he is hit by these arrows, he will die faster than if he is bitten by a pack of wolves! Not long after, there was a wail of a wild wolf in his ears, and Zhou Hongxian only buried his head on the ground and didn't dare to move.

After a long time, everything gradually stopped, Zhou Hongxian could only hear the sound of the gentle wind and heavy footsteps in his ears, and then heard a person laughing heroically: "A group of wild wolves dare to obstruct a certain road, it's really not long-sighted!" After that, the man said again: "There is actually a fox here?" ”

Before Zhou Hongxian could react, he felt that he was being lifted in the air, he hurriedly looked up, and saw a burly man looking at him on the same level, and the big man's eyes were full of a trace of inquiry and antiquity.

This big man is about 30 years old, nearly two meters tall, with wide shoulders, a face with Chinese characters, thick eyebrows and a high nose, and a pair of thick beards under the chin. In addition, he is dressed in white, carrying a long knife on one side and a strong bow on the other side at his waist, so he looks heroic!

The first time Zhou Hong saw this big man, he couldn't help but think of Stallone in the later generations, more precisely, it should be Rambo in "First Blood".

The big man was amazed: "It's the first time I've seen such a red fox, the fur is so fresh and bright, but it's a little smaller, and I don't know if it's enough to make a fox skin shoulder?" ”

When Zhou Hongxian heard this, he was so frightened that he just wanted to blurt out one sentence: "A strong man spares his life!" ”
