Chapter 1 The Fox Fairy Milk

Next Chapter

I am from the Northeast, and my hometown lives in a small village, in fact, my great-grandfather's generation came from Qidi to the eastern part of the country.

This is the road of three or four thousand miles, through the first pass in the world, out of Jizhou, through the grassland, into the Liaodi, through the old land of the Jin country, and finally to the north of the motherland, each of which is not enough to be difficult and humane.

Great-grandfather and five brothers took their children to Kanto together, and in the end, only great-grandfather came here smoothly, and several brothers died and scattered.

By the time I settled in my hometown now, my great-grandfather's children were only my grandfather and second grandfather.

At that time, there were five or six families in the village, and my great-grandfather was very happy when he came, because it was really difficult to survive without crowding in those days.

Not long after my great-grandfather settled down, he encountered a strange event, that is, this incident affected the fate of five generations of my family.

Originally, only my aunt knew about these secrets that no one believed in the past three generations, but later because of a serious illness when I was five years old, my grandparents and I heard this absurd and strange but extremely real history from my aunt.

The illness came very suddenly, at first I just had a high fever, which could not be reduced, and then I began to vomit and diarrhea, and I was more sleepy and less awake.

The doctors from this village and several nearby villages had been here, but they were all helpless, because I couldn't speak, and no one knew how I got sick or what was wrong with me.

At that time, the gray hair on the head of the grandparents was getting more and more day by day, and finally, the grandfather said that he would go and invite her sister, which is my aunt, but the grandmother did not agree.

Grandma is a little prejudiced against her aunt, who was a famous god in ten miles and eight towns when she was young, and it is said that foreigners came to her in cars at that time.

At that time, my grandfather wanted to learn these things from my aunt, but my aunt didn't agree to anything, and my grandmother thought that my aunt was afraid that my grandfather would steal business with her, so she was angry.

Grandpa said that it is useless to take medicine and injections, and if you can't keep it, it's a foreign disease, and if you don't find someone to see the child, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it.

Grandma glanced at me with half-squinted eyes on the kang, and finally nodded, and grandpa immediately went out and rode his old phoenix bicycle to invite my aunt.

When my grandfather left, my grandmother sat on the kang and wiped her tears, saying that my life is not good, I can't speak at the age of five, maybe I'm a dumb person, and now I have this strange disease.

At that time, I was lying on the kang, my eyes were a little glazed, and I felt like a stove.

At this moment, Xiaobai suddenly appeared, Xiaobai is a little girl, wearing ancient clothes, she has often appeared by my side for as long as I can remember, playing with me.

Later, I found out that no one else could see her except me, and she asked me to promise not to tell anyone about her existence, and I agreed, because I couldn't speak, but Xiaobai could hear my inner voice, and she was the only one who could communicate with me.

Xiaobai said that soon I will be able to be with her forever, and I can marry her.

Since I was a child, Xiaobai said that he wanted to marry me and marry me, I didn't understand, but I heard adults say that two people can be together forever when they get married, and they can also have dolls, I am willing to marry Xiaobai.

I don't know how long it was, but I felt like the world was spinning, as if I was about to break free from my body, which was a wonderful feeling, and I later learned that it was my soul that was about to leave my body.

Xiaobai wanted to grab my hand and pull me, but at this moment, a majestic old female voice came, "Stop!" ”

At that time, I was shocked by this voice, and I felt my body sink, and the feeling of my soul leaving my body disappeared.

My aunt walked into my house, in fact, I was still very impressed with my aunt, because every time my aunt came to visit Xiaobai, she would hide.

Sure enough, as soon as my aunt entered the house, Xiaobai disappeared.

Grandma and aunt said a few polite words, although there was a pimple in their hearts, but after all, they were such close relatives, and my aunt was here to help.

My aunt gave me a pulse, and I had a strange feeling that three gold threads had entered my body along my aunt's fingers and swam in my body.

After a long time, my aunt let go, her face was very bad, and she said that they had found it.

The grandparents were curious to ask who it was, and the aunt said that it was our mother's family.

Grandpa grew up eating the milk of my second grandmother, because my grandma disappeared after giving birth to my grandfather, and never appeared again, and my grandpa did not continue the string, and my grandpa never saw my grandma in his life.

My aunt said to ask my grandfather to take out the things left by my grandfather, and my grandfather opened the bottom lattice of the kang cabinet and carefully took out a painting.

This painting was left by my grandfather, and when I was a child, my grandfather told me that my grandfather couldn't draw, but it took him decades to paint this painting one stroke at a time.

The painting shows a woman, young and beautiful, wearing the same ancient clothes as Xiaobai, with a smile on her eyebrows and eyes, as if she is about to come out of the painting.

Grandpa asked what to do with this painting, and my aunt took the painting, her eyes were a little red, and she said that this is our mother.

Grandpa snatched the painting and stared at it, and my aunt sighed and said that something seemed to have to be said.

Next, I heard a story that was even more wonderful than chatting about fasting.

It was a winter a few decades ago, and the winter in the Northeast at that time was extremely deadly, and it was said that when you pee outside, you have to carry a small stick and knock while urinating, otherwise you will freeze.

At that time, my grandmother's grandfather, my great-grandfather, had just come to this place in Kanto, and one night, my great-grandfather heard movement in the courtyard, so he picked up the machete standing by the wall of fire and went out.

At that time, beards and thieves were prevalent, and the so-called beards were bandits, who not only robbed things, but also robbed people, and it was common for them to kill people on the spot in a hurry.

Although the great ancestor was holding a knife in his hand, he was still a little weak in his heart, and secretly planned to call someone once the formation was not right.

The moment he opened the door, a layer of frost hung on his beard and eyebrows.

The yard is not big, and the great-grandfather glanced at it and found that there was movement on the other side of the chicken coop, these chickens were exchanged by the great-grandfather with a small golden bean and the people in the village, and the great-grandmother was very good.

Seeing that there was no one in the yard, even if someone stole the chicken, it was alone, and the great-grandfather became bold and walked towards the chicken coop.

It is said to be a chicken coop, but in fact it is a small adobe house, with a big quilt hanging at the door, and there is no need to be afraid of chickens running out, such a cold day, chickens are not stupid.

When he lifted the quilt, his eyes were split, and a figure wearing a torn cotton jacket was squatting in the chicken coop, and he could see that this person was holding the chicken's neck with both hands and gnawing there, and the other chickens were dead, and the corpses were thrown aside.

Several chicken corpses, without exception, were all bitten open in the neck.

Great-grandfather only felt that his heart was on fire, and he rushed to the top of his head, where is this stealing chickens, this is the Huohuo people doing a desperate business, you just steal one to eat, and they are all bitten to death, including the three old hens that laid eggs.

The man estimated that he also heard the movement, and slowly turned around, this was a middle-aged man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, his face was full of chicken feathers and blood, and a pair of thief eyes stared at his great-grandfather.

The next moment, the man actually pounced on the great ancestor, and sure enough, the thief killed all the chickens, not to mention, but also killed.

Great-grandfather didn't know how many beards he had slashed and grabbed people and eaten meat on the way to Kanto, where would he be afraid of a thief, and the chicken nest couldn't be opened, so he simply held the machete with his backhand and pushed it up.

Between the splatters of blood, a long and narrow gash appeared on the thief's neck.

Blood splattered out, and the man clutched his neck, gurgling from his mouth, and stared at his great-grandfather with resentful eyes.

The great ancestor knew that this person would not survive, although there was no chicken left, but now that the people had also been killed, the great ancestor was also angry.

"Brother, it's not easy for anyone to live these days, if you steal a chicken to eat, you not only bite all the chickens to death, but also do it with me, you can't blame me."

As he spoke, he stabbed the man in the abdomen again, giving him a good time, rubbing the blood on the machete on the man's clothes, and the great-grandfather left the chicken coop, intending to dispose of the human and chicken corpses after dawn tomorrow.

At that time, the grandfather and the second grandfather were both half-grown children in their early teens, and they slept in the other room and never woke up.

Great-grandmother is already dressed and has a kitchen knife in her hand, and if great-grandfather doesn't come back, she will also go out and fight hard.

When the great-grandfather entered the house, the great-grandmother let out a sigh, but when she heard that the chickens were dead, tears fell cracklingly.

The great-grandfather was kind and comforting at first, but the great-grandmother couldn't stop crying, and the great-grandfather scolded her for being unproductive, saying that it was just a few chickens, and she couldn't buy it again.

The great-grandmother was reprimanded, and she didn't dare to cry anymore, so she lay down and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, my great-grandmother woke up in fright, and told her great-grandfather that she had dreamed that a group of men, women, young and old, dressed in linen and filial piety, came to her to ask for her life, saying that her great-grandfather had killed her relatives.

Great-grandfather listened to the description of her great-grandmother, saying that she was frightened when she heard that she had killed someone, but nothing happened.

After breakfast, the great-grandfather went to the chicken coop, intending to throw the thief's body into the loop.

However, as soon as he arrived at the chicken coop, the great-grandfather found that the man's body was gone, and not only that, but also the dead chickens were gone.

The meat of the chicken is not bad in the winter, and you can still eat a few meals of chicken, but now it is gone, and the great ancestor is so angry that he stepped around the yard.

It snowed in the middle of the night, and if someone made a ghost, it would definitely leave footprints.

However, there was no trace left around the courtyard at all.

In fact, combined with the dream that great-grandmother had, great-grandfather already had a bad premonition, to say that someone took away the chicken corpse is understandable, after all, it is not possible to eat a few meals, what is the use of taking people's corpses away, although this village is not rich, but it is far from the point of cannibalism.

Afraid that the great-grandmother would be afraid, the great-grandfather did not enter the house, but went to the neighbor's house to sit, planning to go back in a while and tell the great-grandmother to throw away the body.

The neighbor's surname is Li, a very honest family, and after listening to my great-grandfather talk about last night, Lao Li's daughter-in-law slapped her thigh.

"Big brother, you didn't kill people, you killed foxes who got into trouble."

Great-grandfather shuddered and asked what was going on.

Lao Li's daughter-in-law said that this side is not as good as Guanli, and she believes in shamans, that is, dancing gods.

The jumping god mainly deals with mountain spirits and wild monsters, among which there are four major families, Hu Huang and Bai Liu, this Hu is the fox.

Before a fox can transform into a human form, it needs to hollow out a person's body and burrow into a person's stomach to practice in this way.

And what my great-grandfather killed should be the fox who manipulated the human body, and it is nothing for my great-grandfather to kill the empty shell, and he should never make up for that knife, because he stabbed the righteous owner in the stomach.

The fox who can manipulate human corpses already has the ability, and he will definitely retaliate, and the dream that my great-grandmother had last night was that the dead Hu family came with a litter of relatives to take revenge.

Great-ancestor was a little furious when he heard this, but he was more annoyed, he only knew monks and Taoists before, and it was the first time he had heard of this.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, that beast bit all my chickens to death, and he still wants to do something with me, is it possible to do something wrong with it?"

Lao Li and Lao Li's daughter-in-law sighed, and told their great-ancestors that other families in the village often recruit foxes and weasels, but they didn't dare to mess with these things, even if they saw them scourge the chickens in the house, they would at most drive them away.

Foxes are cunning by nature, weasels are ferocious and tyrannical, and this is the case when they are animals, let alone have the ability to do so.

The great-ancestor was angry, drank a bowl of hot water and left, even if people bully people in these years, animals still dare to bully people, it is really unreasonable.

As soon as I went home, my great-grandfather found that something had happened, my grandfather and my second grandfather held my great-grandmother's arm, and the three of them shrank in the corner of the stove room and didn't dare to move.

Great-grandfather's eyelids jumped, and after a while, he picked off these dead chickens and threw them into the yard.

When I asked my great-grandmother, I found out that these dead chickens didn't know when they were hung by whom, and she was wearing dried chili peppers in the house with her grandfather and second grandfather.

At this time, the great ancestor knew in his heart that it was not a human who did it, but those foxes who were taking revenge.

After comforting his great-grandmother and two sons, the great-grandfather pondered a solution.

There is no one in the village who knows how to dance, so it seems that he can only figure out his own way.

In winter, when there was nothing to do, the great-grandfather made a rope noose in the house.

At night, there was a strange sound of cooing outside, which was the cry of a fox.

The rest of the village has long since lost its light, on the one hand, people go to bed early, and no one dares to wade into this troubled water.

Great-grandmother opened the door and looked at it, her face turning pale with fright.

Great-grandfather said to let her go and put the two boys to sleep, and the matter was settled tonight.

When the great-grandmother saw that the great-grandfather was serious, she was not so afraid, so she went to coax the grandfather and the second grandfather to sleep.

Zeng Zuti slipped out of the door with a machete and a rope noose, and when he looked, well, there were more than a dozen foxes of all sizes walking around the door.

These foxes are also unusual, they are several laps larger than ordinary foxes, and the largest white one is the size of a calf.

These foxes are all toothy and cracked when they see their great-ancestors, and they are extremely fierce.

The great ancestor was not even afraid of the beard with the box cannon, where would he be afraid of these beasts, he would chase after him with a knife.

Those foxes couldn't scare their great-ancestors, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The great-grandfather did not chase after him, so he set up a trap at the door.

This kind of set is not many people in my grandfather's generation, it is said that it is specialized in using foxes, weasels, mountain beavers and other things, one set of accurate.

After the set, the great-ancestor entered the house, and in the great-grandfather's opinion, a group of beasts going to death against people is looking for death.

The great-grandmother was coaxing the children over there, coaxing and coaxing the mother, and the three of them all fell asleep, and the great-grandfather sat there alone and guarded.

In the middle of the night, there was movement outside, and the great-grandfather went out to take a look, and sure enough, those foxes were all tricked, and this set was nearly twenty.

The foxes were strapped around their necks, their eyes sparkling pitifully as they struggled, and their front paws swayed there as if they were whirling.

Great-ancestor stood aside and said that everything is reasonable, although they have cultivated their skills, but they are not afraid at all, even if they harm the chickens, they will hurt people, and they deserve to lose their lives.

The foxes were still begging for mercy, and the great-grandfather was determined to hang the foxes, but the great-grandmother did not know when she woke up and came to the courtyard.

"Boss, look at them are pitiful, just let them go."

When the great-grandfather heard his great-grandmother's plea, he looked at the poor foxes staring at him, and he was also moved by compassion, so he cut the noose.

The foxes shook each other and then walked away.

That night, my great-grandmother had a dream about an old lady in a black brocade dress and a cane, with a kind face.

The old lady said that they were wrong in the first place, but my great-grandfather should not have killed anyone, so he simply married a family with children and daughters, and slowly solved this cause and effect.

The great-grandmother didn't dare to believe the bizarre dream, and she didn't tell the great-grandfather when she woke up the next day.

Sure enough, nothing strange happened for the next few years.

When the people in the village saw that Zengzu was not even afraid of the fox fairy, and they also cleaned up the fox fairy, they all admired Great-Ancestor, and Great-Ancestor became the head of the village.

In a flash, my grandfather was eighteen years old, and he was of the age of marriage, but there were no girls of the right age in the village, and there were no girls in the neighboring villages, which was very bad for my great-grandfather.

One day, when my grandfather went to work in Hetao, he actually came back with a big girl.

The eldest girl had no clothes on, so the grandfather wrapped her in his own clothes and carried her home, and the villagers who saw her followed with good faith.

The eldest girl came into my house, and when she saw her great-grandfather and great-grandmother, she called her father.

Great-grandfather slapped his face with a smile, knowing that the eldest girl was the daughter-in-law sent to him by God after he picked it up from the Hetao.

No one noticed that something was wrong with the great-grandmother's expression, and at this time the great-grandmother thought of what had happened all those years ago.

This girl was one of the people who had asked her for her life in a dream, and her great-grandmother remembered that the old lady had told her about marrying her children.

Then, the identity of this big girl is self-evident.

The great-grandmother asked the eldest girl what her name was, and the eldest girl said that her name was Hu Xiaoyun.

The surname is Hu, sure enough, the great-grandmother had a plan in her heart, but she didn't say it, after seeing these strange things in the Northeast, she felt that it was better to provoke less, if she said it, the great-grandfather's temper would definitely be another life, and Liang Zi would not know what to do when the time came.

In this way, Hu Xiaoyun married my grandfather, and a strange thing happened during the wedding, two big white foxes dressed in red and colored sent a large piece of gold.

The fox put the gold at the door and ran away, but the great-grandfather did not catch up.

Hu Xiaoyun, that is, my grandmother, first gave birth to an aunt with my grandfather, and then gave birth to a grandfather, but after giving birth to my grandfather, she disappeared.

In fact, the grandmother left a note to her great-grandmother, which said mother-in-law, I know you already know, I gave birth to two babies to our family, which can be regarded as revenge for my father-in-law's grace not to kill at that time, and the next step is to take revenge.
