"Ahem, you two don't stand guard properly, what are you doing there?" Senmu got up in the middle of the night and was about to go to the toilet, when he saw two standing guards standing next to a fire muttering, so he came over and asked.

The older veteran saluted, "Report to the captain, this recruit said that he saw an extra fire, very similar to the fire group that Ono-kun reported to you during the day. We were discussing what exactly he saw. ”

"Tell me, young man, what you see." Moriki looked at the young man and said.

"Report to the captain. I saw the fifth fire, right here. The young Japanese soldier pointed to the wet ground and said, "It's red, it's glowing gold, and it's motionless." But now it seems that it should be a creature with the color of fire. I have not seen or heard of this creature. What is left here now is probably the urine it left behind, and it smells very strong. ”

"Didn't you hear a little movement? It can't come here quietly. Moriki squatted down and sniffed on the wet soil, then stood up again, looked around, and said.

The place where they were was was on a small slope, and the dead branches and leaves around them were very dry, and if any animals passed by, they would make a sound.

"I didn't hear it, I didn't make a sound of it moving around at all. Could it be that it is a sperm? The young soldier looked at the dense forest around him and said worriedly.

"Since you heard my conversation with Ono-kun during the day, you should know that demagoguery is to kill people. The two of you must keep tonight's events strictly confidential, and don't leak the slightest rumor, otherwise you will be killed. ”

"Yes!" The two soldiers replied with a solemn salute.

"Stand guard well, don't desert, pay close attention to all situations, and shoot immediately to warn if you encounter abnormal situations." After Moriki gave a stern order, he turned around and went back to the tent.

The two soldiers replied with another "yes", gave a military salute, and grimaced in unison.

At that time, Japan respected soldiers very much, and although Moriki now appeared in the archaeological team as a scholar, he was once the identity of the emperor, and no one dared not to ignore it.

But behind the scenes, these soldiers always like to make jokes about this half-soldier, half-civilian leader. For example, they have a lot of complaints about Morita's style of acting, a person who has already become a scholar, but always likes to speak in a military tone.

But laughing aside, they still stood up seriously, and the dozens of people who were sleeping in the guardians.

Ono had been looking back at the Hokage he had seen during the day, and he hadn't fallen asleep at all, and he had heard the conversation between the two soldiers and Moriki clearly, which made him even more confused. He vividly remembered a story told to them by an old man in the area. He was talking about the fire fox, and he connected what he saw with the old man's description of the fire fox, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

The story told by the old man is a local legend from a long time ago. Legend has it that there was no such thing as a fire fox. As soon as a little fox took on a human form, he secretly ran down the mountain, pretending to be a woman who had fled from other places, and was taken in by a local landlord.

The landlord was very kind and treated her like his own daughter. The fox has a strong ability to charm people, and has been liked by the landlord's family. The little vixen really regards this place as his home, living with the villagers.

Because the landlord's son is an only son, he is arrogant and domineering, and he has done many things that hurt nature and reason in the evil township, and some beautiful girls and daughters-in-law have lost their virginity in him, and he even does not let go of some widows who are more than ten years older than him.

The villagers complained about the landlord's son, but there was no way to complain, because he had a rich father. The landlord himself is very strict with educating his son, but the landlord has five wives, just such a son, and several mothers help him settle everything. The government has reaped a lot of benefits from his mothers. The landlord has always been concealed to death, and he does not know what he has done to lose his conscience.

Since the little vixen came to the house, after some grooming and removing her deliberate disguise, her beautiful and lovely appearance has been revealed.

The landlord's son was salivating. But he knew that under his father's nose, if he made a mistake, the landlord would not spare him. He exercised restraint.

Until one day, the landlord went to another village to attend the wedding banquet of his friend's son. He felt that his opportunity had come, so he tricked the little vixen into a hut on the mountain. and tricked her into eating the tea that had been put in the drug. The reason why he wanted to trick her to the mountains was that the landlord's son didn't want her to come back alive at all.

After all, the fox spirit has been cultivating for hundreds of years, and he is quite Taoist, how can he be put down by a small cup of medicinal tea? However, she knew that the landlord's son had bad intentions against her, so she took precautions, pretended to be stunned, lay down on the table, and escaped from the hut while the landlord's son was unprepared, and fled into the forest as a fox.

The landlord's son was also unlucky, and when he saw the little vixen running away, he ran out of the door and chased after him. But when he went out of the room, he saw the moment when the little vixen turned into a little fox, and he was immediately afraid.

As soon as he was afraid, he wanted to go down the hill and go home, but he was in a hurry, and when he ran, he failed to pay attention to his feet, and tripped over a rock.

It happened that there was a cliff more than ten meters high next to that section of the mountain road, and the landlord's son fell down. Covered in injuries and unable to move. By the time the family found him, he was already dying. It didn't work when he was carried to the house, and when he was in a coma and dying, he still called the name of the little vixen, but he didn't say what happened.

The little vixen didn't know that the landlord's son had seen his transformation, and calmly returned to the village.

Someone told the landlord that his son had gone up the mountain with the little vixen before the accident, but the landlord's son had an accident, but the little vixen was not around. The landlord suspected that the little vixen had pushed his son off the cliff.

Unfortunately, the person who told the landlord about this was a young man who was in love with the little vixen. The young man said it when everyone was going up the mountain to look for the landlord's son. He told the landlord that the original intention was to let the people sent by the landlord find the little vixen by the way, but he didn't want to harm the little vixen.

When the little vixen learned that the landlord had wronged him because his lover had "told the truth", he was extremely angry and resentful. Under the double pain, the little vixen could no longer maintain its human form, and changed back to its original form in front of everyone.

It takes a lot of willpower for a vixen to maintain a form that is not its own. When they are emotionally unstable or have weak willpower, they will show their true form.

The villagers were shocked by her change, first stunned, then frightened, then hated, someone shouted "catch the fox spirit", and a group of people began to chase after her, and threw stones and bricks at her.

The little vixen was injured in the leg during the run and couldn't run, so he found a place to hide. Wait until the crowd disperses before daring to come out. But now she is injured and can't escape back into the mountains. So when she had the ability to transform into a human form, she became a human and came to her subject's home.

The object of the little vixen was shocked for a moment, and then he recovered as if he didn't care that she was a vixen, and served tea and food, and took the little vixen in.

What the little vixen didn't know was that she secretly told the villagers about the little vixen hiding in her house. The people in the village knew that they should not be able to restrain the little fox spirit, so they invited a Taoist priest from other places to catch demons.

When the little vixen saw that the villagers came to arrest her with a Taoist priest, how could she not know that she was betrayed by her boyfriend again. The previous time maybe he didn't mean to, and it can be forgiven. But this time it's different.

The little vixen was furious, but he couldn't restrain himself and showed his true body. But this time, she was even more angry, and her blood outflowed and stained her fur red, forming the appearance of a fire fox.

And the fire fox also hates humans to the bone, and from time to time brings some disasters to humans to vent their emotions. Therefore, the locals have a saying that if you see a fire fox, you will have a disaster.

Ono is a native man, and he has an inexplicable awe of some legends, and he always feels that some of them are credible. I was also haunted by the fact that I saw the fire fox. The most important thing is that not everyone can see the fire fox, but only him and the young soldier. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep.

The two soldiers outside quickly changed guards, and the young soldiers returned to the barracks and could not sleep. What I just saw was so weird. He couldn't put it into words. So I also have insomnia.

I don't know how long it took, but the two insomniacs got up and walked out of the tent in unison. The moment they stepped out of the tent, their eyes lit up, and they didn't know what they saw, so they walked in one direction. The two men standing guard in the back shouted loudly, as if they didn't hear them.

The two soldiers standing guard didn't know what was going on, but both of them were Japanese, and they didn't do much of it, so they just reminded them to be careful.

The two soldiers soon changed their guards as well, and the new guard didn't know about Ono and the recruit's departure from the camp, so he didn't care. It wasn't until the next morning when everyone woke up that they were both gone.

Mori Mu questioned all the people who stood guard last night, and only then did he learn about their departure from the two soldiers who saw them leave. Both of them said that Onoya's young soldier's eyes were different from usual, and they shouted behind them, as if they didn't hear them.

At this time, Moriki's mood couldn't be calm. It can't be such a coincidence, right? The two people who walked happened to be the ones who saw the mysterious creature, and they were so strange when they walked. Isn't that really a bad sign?
