I heard Tao Zhenkun surprise and said: "Dad! Look, there is a white fox, it is not far ahead, it seems not afraid of people, there is really a white fox! ”

Tao Qisheng's heart shook suddenly, but he didn't look at it, as if he didn't dare to look. He didn't know how the white fox could have appeared again, and no one in the village had seen a white fox in all these years. And he and his father were biased back then, which is really a strange thing!

"Daddy, the white fox's skin must be worth a lot, I-"

"Don't hurt it, it's already in the way, or it will get into trouble, and the gun won't hurt it!" When you see the white fox, don't tell outsiders about it when you go back. ”

The sudden appearance of the white fox shocked Tao Qisheng, and it was strikingly similar to the scene back then. The memories left in his youth are still the clearest, full of luck and good memories of the previous escape from death, but later this memory was mixed with pain and resentment!

"Hey!" Tao Zhenkun agreed. What puzzled him was, why didn't his father want to mention what was related to the white fox back then?

When he and Mei Xingmei poured dung, the tied black tiger suddenly screamed, and then Liu Xingmei asked in surprise: "What do you see is that?" ”

He looked at the place where the black tiger was staring, and it turned out that there was a flower ribbon snake more than a meter long, not far from Liu Xingmei, and it was staring at her with its head tilted and spitting out letters.

"Meizi, it's a snake, it's not a poisonous snake, what's all the fuss about. Grab it, let's stew snake soup and drink. ”

"You will admit to eating, and size is also a life!"

"I have eaten all the flesh of the python, and that winter, there was a good python on the ice of the river, and there was a big ice hole in front of it, and apparently it had broken through the thick ice ice in the river. But when people found it, it turned out to be dead and frozen into popsicles. The cause of death was a deep wound on its neck, and people wondered what was going on. It's almost the New Year, and people don't think much about it, so they cut it into sections and divide it, so they can satisfy their cravings. Oh, by the way, it happened a few days after Brother Yunchang's death. ”

"Will a big python come out in the winter? Fool the devil with this! ”

"I don't believe you can ask others, my father and mother know!"

The snake is no stranger to Liu Xingmei, so she is not afraid, she stepped forward and shoveled the snake up with a shovel, the snake naturally will not obediently obey the manipulation, so she shook the shovel and walked out of the gate.

At this time, Qiu Lanzhi came out of the house, leaned against the door and asked, "Xingmei, where did your father go?" ”

"Hey!"

Liu Xingmei went out of the gate, put the snake very carefully in the grass on the edge of a deep ditch, and said in her mouth: "Run for your life, don't run in front of people in the future, be careful to let the gluttonous person stew you to drink!" ”

The serpent crawled away without hurrying.

This ravine, which is six or seven zhang away from the gate, is wide and deep, and there is snow and rain that flow into the Fairy River throughout the year.

At this time, she smelled a putrid smell mixed with the smell of decoction, and as soon as she searched for the source, she saw in the grass a few piles of scum that had been poured out for her father-in-law, and the dead bodies of two rats lying there, attracting countless flies to gather on it, as if in a buzzing quarrel to snatch a feast of greedy gluttony. She hurriedly covered her nose, and began to wonder how the rat would have died. I was puzzled for a while, so I shouted at the courtyard in shock: "Come out quickly!"

As soon as Tao Zhenkun heard her shout, his heart fluttered, thinking that something was wrong with his father. He quickly threw down the iron hammer in his hand, and jumped out of the railing without taking the door of the donkey pen, and ran out of the gate quickly. When she saw Liu Xingmei standing there with a shovel, a hanging heart slowly relaxed. He walked up to him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Look there are two dead rats there."

"There's something strange about rats, it's not like I've never seen them. Look at your surprise, I thought something was wrong, it scared me a lot!" Tao Zhenkun said, and also bent down to look at the two dead mice.

"How did these two rats die?" Liu Xingmei asked.

"Who knows."

"Could it be that someone drugged? I'm wondering, could they have been poisoned by dregs?"

"Can a rat eat that?"

"Due to lack of food, maybe!"

"What do you mean ——?"

"It's a three-point poison, and Dad's medicine is probably fighting poison with poison!"

"If you take too much of this medicine, it will be harmful to your body, right?"

"There must be, no way, for the sake of healing!"

"Where's Daddy?"

"I didn't see him."

Liu Xingmei looked around, but didn't see the shadow of her father-in-law, and saw Ruan Qingfang coming out of the yard and was about to go back to hold the chopped firewood, so she asked, "Uncle, have you seen my father?"

"I saw him go east."

At this time, it had been a while since I went out with Tao Qisheng. So the three men went out and began to search. After not finding it elsewhere, people became anxious. Tao Zhenkun took the black tiger with a shotgun and went into the mountain to look for it, and Liu Xingmei was going to follow, so he asked her and her mother to continue to look around the village, and those who knew were also helping to find it. In this way, he found a series of clear footprints on the road to the mountain forest, and from the shoe prints, it looked like his father's, so he traced all the way to find here. In front of his grandmother's grave, he saw a series of wandering footprints, and he was sure that his father had come to this mountain forest alone.

(Regarding the statement that foxes can cultivate into immortals, most people saw it in Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" as an anecdote about wild history.) There are many strange stories about the folk that have been circulated among the people, and many have been lost because they have not been recorded. My grandfather had a strange experience back then, and I am still familiar with it. At that time he was still young, the story takes place in winter, one day he came back from cutting wood in the mountains, and saw a small fire fox on a sheep's intestine path, whose fur was as red as coals, and it did not run away when it saw people, but stopped and walked while keeping a certain distance from him. My grandfather followed him, and at last the fiery fox lay down in the middle of the road. My grandfather thought it was either injured or sick, and when he went to inspect it, he found that the fox's face was extremely red, and at the same time he was surprised to smell a very strong smell of alcohol, which seemed to be drunk. My grandfather didn't take the opportunity to hurt it, but took it home and put it on the hot kang. Finally, the strange thing is that when the doors and windows are closed, the fire fox is nowhere to be seen. Write down this matter, and the book friend will take it as a "chat" after reading it, because I can't confirm whether it's true or not, I wasn't born at that time, and I heard about it in my grandfather's mouth, and my father has affirmed this many times. Of course, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so it's hard to know if it's true or not! ）

A sad past was stinging Tao Qisheng's heart, his tears wet Tao Zhenkun's shoulders, he didn't know if the person carrying him was his son or his brother, can his father's death really prove it? This contradictory knot that has been in place for many years has not been unraveled to this day. But now he didn't want to bother thinking about it anymore, he closed his eyes, thinking that if he died at this time on the back of the person who made him pay for his support, and ended his life like this, then he would have no regrets————

Besides, the strange man who calmly jumped into the "cunt-pit", although it is said that it is bottomless from above, but it also has its limited depth. With a "bang", he was still thrown to the ground, and as a result, he could not escape a broken leg and an arm, and a brain-plasma collapse, killing him.

And in this unfathomable sinkhole, there is also a "wild man" who seems to be living in seclusion, who is leaning on the rock wall below and falling asleep, with a large black animal skin under him, but he is awakened by this sound. The man was also unkempt, with long hair scattered over his back, but judging from the light cast from above, he was not a wild woman, for his beard hung down to his chest, his clothes looked a little ragged, and he looked like he hadn't trimmed his hair or beard for some time. But judging by his jet-black hair and jet-black beard, he should still be very young. He quickly threw himself beside the strange man's corpse, and when he saw that the strange man had died, he was startled and suspicious, so he stood up, opened his mouth, spit out the shining thing in his palm, and shouted to it with some surprise:

"Is there anyone up there? I'm Miao Yunchang, and I'm still alive! Did anyone hear that? ”

After the aftermath lingered, no sound came from above.

But then a few pieces of fruit fell from it. At the same time, the bats that live in the crevices of the rock wall squeak one after another, and they sound like they are countless.
