Chapter I
I am a red fox, the most common fox in the deep mountains and old forests. Not all foxes can cultivate into demons, if all foxes can become demons, then won't the world become a world where the demon clan is rampant and domineering?
In fact, it is also very difficult to become a demon, the so-called fox demons are almost all white foxes, black foxes, Qingqiu foxes, and the legendary nine-tailed foxes, where can I reach these ordinary little foxes?
Indeed, heaven and earth are fair to everyone, and everyone can become demons, but the nine-tailed fox can cultivate the human form after a hundred years of cultivation, but a red fox like mine can cultivate five hundred years. Five hundred years, it's too long, there aren't many red foxes willing to cultivate into demons, it's too long, it's too long, it's better to be happy and chic for twenty years.
I think the same way, I don't want to be a demon, I just want to wander the world as a red fox.
I didn't have parents, and when I was very young, my parents went away and never came back. Maybe it was because I was killed by a hunter, or maybe I was abandoned, but I always had the impression that I was alone.
But it doesn't matter, a person's life is not necessarily bad, but occasionally it will be a little lonely.
I have a friend named Little Sparrow, who is a little sparrow. When we first met, there was a fox who wanted to eat a little finch, and he met me.
At first, I lured the fox away just to eat the little finch alone, but who knew that after the fox left, the little finch sang and danced around me, saying "Thank you, we will be friends from now on, my name is Little Finch!" I'll be here to play with you tomorrow! ”
After coming and going, Little Finch and I became best friends. Little finches have wings and love to fly around, and often tell me stories about humans that they hear. And I'm around it, and no other fox can hurt it.
I made an appointment with the little finch to go to the river to play, but we were caught by the hunters who went to the lake to drink. I bit the hunter's ankle on the ground, and the little finch took the opportunity to escape.
Before she ran away, the little finch chirped at me, and she said, "Little fox, wait for me!" I'll come back to save you! You wait for me! ”
After the little finch left, the hunter kicked me to the ground, stabbed me with a knife, and scolded fiercely, "Dog, dare to bite Lao Tzu, phew!" A mouthful of spit was around me.
The hunter wanted to peel off my skin and make a fox fur coat, but his friend pulled him out, "You are stupid, little foxes are worth a lot!" You look at the little fox's hair is good! Sell it at the market tomorrow, and you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price! Isn't there a trend of raising foxes in the capital recently? Now this living fox is worth more than that coat! ”
The hunter probably thought his friend was right, and didn't kill me, so he put me in a cage probably thinking that he would sell me tomorrow.
I breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was many, much better to be a human pet than to be killed.
It's just that the only thing I'm worried about is the little finch. I saw that the hunter had a lot of bows and arrows, and if the little finch came, he would be killed, and I could only pray with all my heart that the little finch would not come.
But here comes the little finch. In the middle of the night I heard the little finch chirping loudly, and I listened to it call me "Fox!" Little fox, where are you! "I was afraid that the little finch would really come, and I did not dare to answer it.
I listened to the little finch crying and teaching me the name, and my heart kept throbbing. But little finch, you must live.
Until early in the morning when I was taken away, I heard the babbling of the little birds.
I was taken to the bazaar, and I heard the hunter shouting, "Sell foxes!" Look at it! The little fox's hair is red and black, how good this color is! Only ten taels of silver! ”
There were a lot of people around, pointing at me. I don't know who said, "I look at the hair is very ordinary, your ten taels of silver are still too expensive!" Five taels of silver at most! ”
The hunter quit, kicked the cage, and cursed, "Garbage, it's better to make a fox coat." ”
I didn't dare to look at him, so I had to shrink into a ball and not dare to look at him, covering my eyes with my tail and forcing myself not to look at him.
That's when I heard someone say, "Since no one buys it, I'll buy it." Ahem, ahem, Bai Zheng gave him silver. ”
When I looked up, the man's face was very pale, and if I had to describe it, it looked like a snowflake falling on the ground in winter. His clothes are very different from other people's, they look like they have a lot of patterns, and they really look different among so many people.
The person who was holding him was probably his name Bai Zheng, and I watched as the man took out the silver thing and handed it to the hunter, probably the silver they said. Bai Zheng said, "Since the silver has been given to you, this fox will be ours." ”
The hunter looked at the silver, smiled and handed him the key to open the iron cage, and left with a smile.
I listened to the man cough again, and I looked at him, and he seemed to sense that I was looking at him, crouching down and looking at me. I stretched out my paw and slapped him in the face. I remember when I used to be sick, the little finches would gently pat my face with their wings and feel better.
He laughed, and after a while he coughed again. Bai Zheng patted him on the back and said, "Young master, this little fox is not clean, you should take it home and clean it, not to mention that you should stay away from these hairy animals when you cough." ”
He waved his hand and said it was okay, opened the cage with the lock, and carried me out.
I pressed against his chest, and he carried me into his carriage and coughed again. Bai Zheng felt sorry for him and said to him, "Young master, you put it down, I'll hold it." ”
I felt him want to say something, and he coughed violently, and I pressed it against his chest, and I could feel his heart pounding violently every time he coughed. I didn't know what I could do to relieve his pain, so I just patted him on the chest gently, wondering if it would get better.
He put me on his lap and touched my head, his hands were cold. He said, "My name is Bai Pingsheng, we will be a family in the future, it should be better to give you a name, since we have never met before, my name is Pingsheng." Ignorant life, is it good to call you a vegetarian? ”
I knew he was naming me, I didn't know what it was, but I was at least a man with a name. I chirped softly to show that I liked it.
He laughed again, laughed for a while, coughed again, and called me "Susu." I chirped again.
He seemed to think it was funny, and kept calling at me, but I didn't want to pay attention to him, so I just turned around and pointed my butt at him. But when I heard that he was coughing very uncomfortably, I turned to look at him again and patted him gently on the chest, hoping to give him relief.
He just laughed and touched my head. I rubbed his hand, but he coughed again, and I saw that there seemed to be a trace of red blood on the white handkerchief he had taken out.
There was a convulsion in my heart for no reason, and I looked at his pale face and pale lips, even I knew that there were probably not many days left in my life.
Suddenly a little sad, probably because I was not a bad person in my life, and I bought me back from a bad person, so I have a different feeling about him.
