Chapter 62: The Fox's Past
It was the fiftieth year of the agency's establishment, and the agency was not called this name at that time, but the reincarnation inn.
The shop is still antique, the corner of the wall is lit with incense, and the room is full of incense.
Knock knock knock......
There was a knock on the door, Ah Hu got up, and the carved wooden door opened.
There was a fat store manager standing at the door, but he was called the shopkeeper at that time. The fat shopkeeper looked solemn, and when he entered the door and sat down, he poured a cup of tea and drank it all.
"Shopkeeper, what happened? See you so anxious. Ah Hu twisted his eyebrows, and there was a trace of worry on his cheeks.
The fat shopkeeper poured another cup of tea, held it in his hand and said, "There was a great earth movement in Ulzhou, and many people died, and it was a natural disaster that fell from above." It's going to be hard for a while. ”
"Ground moving? How can it be for no reason? Ah Hu covered his lips, incredulous.
Heaven often only punishes disasters in unbearable places, could it be that the people of Ulju have angered God?
The fat shopkeeper sighed and said helplessly: "I have inquired, it was the Jade Emperor who paid a private visit to Ulzhou, and saw that the statue of his temple was insulted, and it was used to hang beggar's obscene pants." ”
Insulting the gods is a big crime, not to mention the Jade Emperor himself.
"Abandoned temples are often inhabited by beggars." Ah Hu sighed.
"It's a common thing, but the Jade Emperor is just sleeping in the open as a tourist, but he was robbed of his clothes by beggars." The fat shopkeeper said.
"Huh?" Ah Hu chuckled, "That Jade Emperor is really unlucky. ”
The fat shopkeeper also chuckled and said, "Who says it's not?" The Jade Emperor suddenly wanted to go to the people's houses to beg, but he was blasted out and verbally insulted. ”
"Therefore, after he returned to heaven, he ordered the calamity god to send down the natural calamity." Ah Hu said.
"Well, okay, let's not talk about it, let's get ready. It's going to be busy. After the fat shopkeeper finished speaking, he sighed.
The days that followed were really busy, and the souls of the dead kept entering the inn.
It has even reached the point where the soul is squeezing the soul, that is, the soul is often incomplete, and Mu An needs to put it together neatly.
After a busy month, I finally relaxed a little.
Ah Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief, at this time there was a knock on the door of the store, Ah Hu opened the door, and a handsome woman came in, wearing a white skirt robe, with extremely long hair, and only a wooden hairpin was inserted in her hair.
"Excuse me, is there still a room?" The woman raised her eyes and smiled lowly at Ah Hu.
"Yes, come in." Ah Hu nodded and welcomed the woman into the door.
This is the inn where the dead have passed away, and only the dead will enter it, but the woman in front of her doesn't seem to know that she is dead.
She sat down straight at the table and put the package down in her hand.
"Girl, can you serve me some food?" She said softly to Ah Hu.
Ah Hu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't eat, and you don't need to eat anymore." ”
"Oh...... In that case, then I'll take me to the guest room. I like a quieter place. Speaking of which, I probably haven't felt hungry in a long time. The woman said lightly.
Ah Hu just wanted to say that you were dead, but Mu An stopped him.
"She didn't realize that she was dead, so let her stay first, maybe stay for a few days, and then she would be sober. It seems that it was also crushed to death by the earthquake. ”
"Huh? How can it be? It's been more than a month since the earth moved. "Ah Hu didn't believe it.
"Hey, let's take her to the room first." Mu An twisted his eyebrows, and the antique lenses bound by the gold chain shook as he walked.
Ah Hu raised her eyes and saw the blood hole behind the woman's snow-white dress, but unfortunately, she couldn't see it herself.
After the woman moved in, she never stepped out of the door. Hu occasionally eavesdrops outside the door, but there is only a low sobbing sound inside.
Another day, the door of the inn was kicked open, and Ah Hu and Mu An raised their eyes at the same time to see a bewitching man dressed in red and with black hair like ink.
"Where is the demon, dare to trespass on the underworld." Mu An asked expressionlessly.
"Have you seen a woman dressed in white? It is extremely beautiful, and has a wooden hairpin in the shape of a fox on its head. The man asked coldly.
A woman in white? Ah Hu's first reaction was the girl named Xueli who lived in the guest room.
"I haven't seen it." Mu An was the first to speak.
"Never! I'll find it myself! Her body is dead, and her soul should be here! The man in red flashed past Mu An's blockade.
"Childe! This is the reincarnation of the underworld, and you can't trespass! Mu An reached out to stop him.
The man in red was not convinced, and the fox fire in his hand was lit and attacked Mu An.
"Without me, Tu Wu Thief can't go to my place!" The man in red snorted coldly, but the fox fire did not fall on Mu An, it was just a dismount.
The man in red was none other than Tu Wujiao.
"Mu An, what should I do?" Ah Hu looked at the man who disappeared in front of him and asked anxiously.
Mu An shook his head and said, "Let him go." ”
"In the snow, in the snow!" Tu Wubao shouted loudly in the inn, but no one responded, and the snow in the guest room seemed to be unheard.
Ah Hu asked Mu An, "Why?" The girl in the snow didn't seem to hear the fox demon calling her. ”
Mu An shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”
Tu Wubao didn't find Xueli, and Xueli didn't hear his shouts, and the two of them were in the same inn, but they seemed to be separated from the two worlds.
From time to time, there are souls in need of the dead entering the inn, and Tu Wubao is guarding the door.
When he entered the door, he looked carefully, it was not the person he was looking for, and he shook his head in disappointment.
Ah Hu felt annoyed, so he said to Mu An: "Mu An, why don't you tell him that the girl in the snow is in our shop!" He's guarding here all day, and it's really an eyesore. ”
"No, it's the Snow Girl who doesn't want to see him, and even if we say something, it's useless." Mu An shook his head and said.
After a long time, Tu Wubao also became familiar with Ah Hu Mu'an, and he talked about the story of him and Xueli.
"Xueli is the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Ulju, with an excellent temperament and a gentle and beautiful birth. We didn't know each other by chance, but because of fate, when the earth trembled, she rescued me from under a private house. ”
But it turned out that Ulzhou was moving, with countless casualties, and Tu Wu was greedy for wine and drunk in the people's houses.
The earth trembled, and the earth shook and the sky changed color.
As a fox demon, Tu Wubao could have avoided the disaster with his keen intuition, but he was so drunk that he was crushed by the collapsed beams.
The house where he stole wine was the house of the Xueli family.
The frightened Xue Li ran out of the house in time, but the maid who had grown up with her since childhood died.
Xueli was in the courtyard, and he saw the house in his family collapse, but he couldn't do anything.
In the aftermath of the disaster, Xueli's parents ordered the surviving servants to clean up their belongings in preparation for the rebuilding of their home.
The servants found Tu Wu, who was still not awake, under the beams of the house.
"Sir, sir, there is a red fox here, and the fur is excellent! It's dead, and it should be able to be peeled off and sold for a lot of money. ”
When the old man heard that it was a red fox, he was a little happy, and a complete fox fur was worth a lot of silver.
This is just enough to make up for some of the losses caused by the collapse of the house.
