"Huh? Could it be that Master Liu knows where Ren Shan is? Hearing her uncle say this, the girl looked at her uncle with some joy and said. I thought to myself, who can make such a beautiful girl so concerned, that person should be very important to her.

"Don't be busy, tell me your story first!" Uncle waved his hand and said. The girl sighed and nodded, her eyes looking up at the window.

"At that time, I was a white fox, and one day when I was looking for food in the mountains, I accidentally caught my leg in an iron clamp under the hunter, and a piercing pain made me faint. When I woke up, the clip on my leg was gone, I looked up and found a man with a stubble looking at me, hehe smiled and said, "I caught a white fox, now I can sell it for a good price!" As he spoke, he said that I was leaving, and I wanted to struggle, but I couldn't muster my strength.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, an eager voice sounded from behind. The bearded man turned around, and I could see the comer, he was dressed in white, white and handsome, with a scholarly atmosphere.

"Little brother, what's the matter?" The bearded man said in a loud voice. "Under the name of Ren Shan, it was a Xiucai who entered Beijing to catch the exam, passing through your land, seeing a mountain here, I wanted to come up to see if there were any herbs that could be picked in exchange for some money for the cost of entering Beijing. Unexpectedly, I met my eldest brother by chance. The young man named Ren Shan bowed his hand and said.

The bearded man also hurriedly returned the salute, and said after a moment of silence, "Brother, I heard that the journey to the capital is very long, how long will it take to get to the capital according to your way, so let's do it, this mountain is only where my mother and I live, and I also have some herbs at home, you can exchange them for some money." ”

When Ren Shan heard this man's words, he was stunned, and his heart was very moved, he had no father and mother since he was a child, and he had never had a stranger like this to him. "How dare I bother the eldest brother, but the younger brother has a reluctant ......request," Ren Shan said.

"Oh? Brother, tell me anything! The man said with a smile. Ren Shan nodded, took out a tael of silver from his arms, and said a little embarrassedly, "Big brother, I only have one or two silver on me, I want to exchange for the white fox in your hand, I know it's not enough, but when I get the title of the gold list, I will repay!" Do you think it's okay? "Huh? You are a talent who went to Beijing to take the exam, and you can't pestering yourself enough, what are you doing with money to buy this white fox? The bearded man asked, puzzled.

"Big brother, I heard that white foxes are spiritual, and now I have met it, this is also fate, if the eldest brother thinks that the money is not enough, I can go down the mountain to borrow it, and I hope you must sell this white fox to me." Ren Shan glanced at the little white fox who was looking at him pitifully, and those eyes made his heart tremble.

The bearded man looked at the silver taels in the scholar's hand, and then at the little white fox whimpering in his hand, smiled bitterly, and said, "You are a poor scholar, who will lend you money when you pass by here in Beijing!" That's it, I'll give this white fox to you! "Thank you, big brother!" Ren Shan said happily.

"Hehe, this little white fox was injured by my iron clip, I'm afraid the situation will be bad if I don't heal it, my home is on the mountain, if you don't dislike it, go up the mountain with me!" The man said with a smile.

"Big brother, we met in Pingshui, but you are so righteous, I can meet you, and I am also fortunate to have three lives!" Ren Shan arched his hand and said.

Walking on the way up the mountain, Ren Shan glanced at the white fox worriedly, not only that, the little white fox's watery eyes were also looking at him, and from its eyes, Ren Shan could see gratitude. Ren Shan couldn't help grinning, he couldn't imagine that this little white fox really had spirituality.

The bearded man said, "Brother, my name is Ah Niu, and there is an old mother at home, although I seem to be a good talker in front of people, but in front of them, I am a heinous and wicked person. As he spoke, Ah Niu glanced at the white fox in his arms. In fact, this is also something that cannot be helped, like us, we can only rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water. ”

"Well, yes, it really can't be changed. But big brother, you are indeed a good person. This world can only be blamed. Ren Shan nodded, sighed and said.

"Hehe, what a good person. To tell the truth, today I will promise to give you this little white fox on the one hand, I am a little familiar with you at first sight, and on the other hand, I still want to accumulate some virtue for myself, after all, if something happens to me, my mother will ......" Ah Niu shook his head and said helplessly.

Listening to Ah Niu's sincere words, Ren Shan asked suspiciously, "Accumulate virtue?" Ah Niu scratched his head, sighed and said, "The day before yesterday, I met a physiognomy master in the bazaar, and he said that I had killed too much and owed too much karma, and said that if I don't have a chance to turn around, I will definitely die this autumn." ”

Ren Shan was stunned for a moment, and then comforted and said, "Brother Niu, there are also many swaggering and deceitful people in the phase master, this person's words cannot be trusted!" I think you are a good person, and you will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune! Ah Niu smiled and did not speak.

After walking for a while, a small courtyard appeared in this forest full of trees, and Ah Niu stepped forward and knocked on the door and shouted, "Mother, I'm back!" "Huh? Ah Niu, are you back? At this moment, an old lady's voice came from the courtyard. yes, mother. Open the door, we're here today! Ah Niu said with a smile.

The door creaked open, and out of the courtyard came an old lady in her 60s, with kind eyebrows and a strong body. The scholar hurriedly stepped forward and gave a salute, "My name is Ren Shan, and I have seen the eldest lady!" The old lady looked at Ren Shan and greeted warmly, "Hehe, this is the guest!" Come in, come in! ”

Everything in the house was well organized, and the yard was so clean that not even a single leaf could be found. Ren Shan and Ah Niu helped me bandage my wounds, and Ah Niu Niang was busy in the kitchen.

In the evening, everyone had a happy dinner.

Ah Niu's heart actually has a sense of comfort, since he was a child, he has watched his father hunting, sometimes his father will bring back some live animals, looking at those animals flowing with blood, his heart is also a little heartbroken.

After his father died, in order to survive, he had to be the same as his father, to catch those small animals, over the years, he killed and sold no less than hundreds of small animals, originally he thought that his heart had been numb, but today, when bandaging the wound of the little white fox, he suddenly felt a warm current blowing through his heart, warm, very comfortable.

Ren Shan looked at Ah Niu Niang who was sewing clothes for himself, his eyes were slightly red, he had no parents since he was a child, at this moment, he felt the warmth of home.

Fate is a wonderful thing, it can make people who don't know each other become brothers and friends overnight. Hehe, maybe this is also the gathering of people by like, and the division of things by groups!

The next day, early in the morning, down the mountain. "Brother Ren, if you want to go to Beijing to take the exam, you won't stay much for your brother! Here are some medicinal powders to stop bleeding, and I have to change the medicine for this little white fox every day. Here is the cake that my mother got up early in the morning to bake, and there are some silver taels, your money may not be enough to go to the capital, come, take it! Ah Niu said with red eyes.

"Brother Niu, I'll take the medicine and the cake, but I will never accept this silver tael. You and the eldest lady ......," Ren Shan hurriedly excused himself. "Brother Ren, because this mountain road is not easy to walk, so my mother did not come to see you off in person, but before I went down the mountain, her old man told me to give you this silver tael to bring, she said that the capital is not better than here, or bring more coils! Brother Ren, you just listen to my mother! Ah Niu couldn't help but say, put the burden on Ren Shan's back.

Ren Shan gave a deep salute to Ah Niu with red eyes and said, "I have been living alone since I was a child, and I am often coldly looked down upon and bullied, this time God is merciful to let me meet you and my mother, I swear that no matter what happens in the future, I will treat you as my eldest brother and my mother as my mother!" "Hmm! Brother, if you don't pass the test, come back. My mother and I are waiting for you here. Ah Niu wiped his eyes and said. Big brother, you and your aunt take care! Ren Shan nodded heavily and said. Brother Ren, take care! ”

Half a month later, Ren Shan came to the capital, because there was still half a month to leave the exam, so Ren Shan took the little white fox to find an inn to live in.

Due to the medicine given by Ah Niu and Ren Shan's careful care in the past half a month, the little white fox has been completely cured. In the room, Ren Shan stroked the head of the little white fox, and the little white fox lay there obediently, stretching out his tongue and licking his hand from time to time, stretching out his paws to scratch him gently.

He said with a smile: "Little white fox, after I take the exam, I will let you go back to the mountains and forests when I go back to Brother Niu." But then he frowned slightly, and said to me, "The little white fox is really not elegant to scream, well, I'll give you a name!" ”

Ren Shan picked up the white fox and looked back and forth, and after a while, he put the white fox back on the bed, touched his chin, groaned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Hehe, well, that, let's call you Bai Mei'er!" Then he touched my head and said, "Huh? How's it going? From today onwards, you will be called Bai Mei'er, and you will be part of our family! Hehe, are you happy?! ”

"Family? It was a strange and warm term for me, and a few days after I was born, when my mother came back from looking for food, I hid in a cave and saw my mother being killed by several wolves in order to protect the food she had obtained. Maybe it's fate, I actually survived, I was born with what human beings call spirituality, so I was lucky to live until now, maybe it's fate! Bai Mei'er said with two lines of tears.

Hearing this, my eyes were also red, and I felt a little sad in my heart, and my uncle also lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly. After a pause, Bai Meier continued, "At that time, how I wanted to express my happiness and excitement in words, because I have a family! It's a pity that I can only express it with a "woo" sound, but Ren Shan understands what I want to express. ”

"Hehe, Mei'er, you're happy, aren't you?" Ren Shan gently stroked my head, sighed and said, "I have no parents since I was a child, and other children don't play with me, I can only play with the cats and dogs in the village." Speaking of this, Ren Shan suddenly smiled and said, "But God has eyes, from now on, we will be a family with Brother Niu and Auntie, Mei'er, don't hold a grudge against Brother Niu!" Do you hear that? With that, he played with me for a while, and then began to read the book, hehe, and then I squatted next to him and watched him. Bai Mei'er said with a happy expression on her face. Looking at the expression on Bai Mei'er's face, I couldn't help but smile slightly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after Ren Shan closed the book, he went to open the door. There was an old man standing outside the door, and he looked at Ren Shan smiling and stroking his beard.

"Who are you?" Ren Shanshi asked with a salute. "Hehe, Childe, seeing that you are dressed as a scholar, you must have come to Beijing to take the exam, right?" The old man asked rhetorically. "Exactly! I don't know how you ......, old man," Ren Shan looked at the old man puzzled.

"Hehe, my view of your face must be the life of the prince, and the future is immeasurable! Do you need the old man to give you a hexagram?! Hearing that this old man was a physiognomy teacher, Ren Shan frowned, and secretly said that he must have come to cheat money, and said, "Thank you old gentleman for your good words, Xiaosheng doesn't need to ......"

"Hey! Don't be in a hurry to refuse, old man, I will tell people that the fortune is, those who are destined, do not take a penny. Those who have no fate are hard to find! You are destined for me, and I will not take a penny from you. The old man heard Ren Shan's refusal, and hurriedly said.
