Chapter 67: The Fox Man
I couldn't cry or laugh, and I said in my heart, Uncle Yang's words are really bad, and I am not afraid of being beaten. I put my index finger to my mouth, rushed to the wind and whispered 'shhh', and quietly came to the window, before I could hear what the person talking to Yang Shujun said, the child in my arms suddenly woke up and kicked his leg in my arms, startling me a lot. With the boy's scream, the candles in the house went out at once.
"Don't make a fuss, kid, don't make a fuss! …”
The boy was crying and struggling in my arms, and I had to slash him with the back of my neck with the palm of my hand, knocking him unconscious. At this time, Xiang Feng had already stood at the door of the house.
"The man in the house opened the door." I shouted.
"Xiao Leng, is that you?"
Yang Shujun's voice came from inside the room.
"It's me, Uncle Yang, it's me! Listen, the people in the house are already surrounded, hurry up and release our Uncle Yang, and then come out and surrender! …”
There was no movement, he took two steps back to the wind, and was about to kick the door when it slammed open. Immediately afterward, a man jumped out of the house and ran into the distance.
"Stop!" Xiang Feng chased after the man.
I leaned the child against the door, came to the house, took out a lighter, and took a photo, only to see Yang Shujun tied to a chair.
"Uncle Yang, I can be regarded as finding you, I thought you were before..."
My eyes were hot, and the words were choked in my throat.
Yang Shujun smiled, his eyes were red, "What do you think I'm doing, I think I'm dead, right?" ”
I didn't say anything.
"Silly boy, uncle, I haven't seen the little man you made, how can I die?"
I smiled and rubbed my eyes.
"What are you doing stupidly? Why don't you untie the rope for me? ”
"Yes, yes, look at me..."
Untied the rope, Yang Shujun rubbed his arm and scolded, "Oh, his grandmother's, it's really strong." ”
"Uncle Yang, what's going on with this qiē, why did you get tied up here?"
Yang Shujun said, that night, Yuxin and I went to save the fox, he waited left and right, and when he saw that we had not returned for a long time, he felt uneasy, so he took Xiao Hei over the river embankment and walked towards Gaojia Village. As he walked, he suddenly saw a person running towards him in the distance, and the person ran in a very strange posture, jumping up and down. When he was close, Yang Shujun's feet were like his feet not touching the ground, jumping so high, but he didn't even make a sound when he landed, and he looked like a ghost in the moonlight.
Yang Shujun wanted to take Xiao Hei to dodge, but the dog didn't listen to him at all, and jumped towards the man with a 'woo', Yang Shujun stepped forward to stop Xiao Hei, but the man pounced on him instead. As a result, a man and a dog fought with the man. Fighting, Yang Shujun felt a pain in his head, and then he didn't know anything, and when he woke up, he was now tied up in this room...
"Is that the same guy you met just now?" I asked, pointing out the door.
"Hmm." Yang Shujun said.
"Who the hell is that?" I asked.
"Alas...," Yang Shujun shook his head, "Actually, he is a poor man. ”
"Poor man?"
"Well, a poor man who is half human and half fox."
"Half-human, half-fox?"
The more I listened, the more surprised I became, and the man who chased the wind hadn't come back yet, so I decided to wait here.
"Uncle Yang, tell me, how is that person half-human and half-fox?"
"He's been telling me a lot about him these days..."
Mr. Yang said the man told him that he had been raised by a fox and that he had lived in a fox hole in the Yellow River embankment as a child. During the day, he slept in the cave, and at night, the mother fox would take him out to catch birds and hares on the river beach, or swim into the Yellow River to fish. I don't know if it's because he grew up eating fox milk, he has a lot of fox nature, such as running fast, landing silently, hearing and smelling are particularly sensitive, and so on. At that time, he thought that he was a fox, he couldn't speak, but he could understand the fox's 'language' and communicate with the fox mother with a 'woo-woo' sound.
Later, he grew up day by day, but the fox mother aged day by day and finally died. At that time, he didn't know what pain was, he just felt as if something extremely important had been pulled out of his body, and he lay down in the fox hole every day, crying and licking the fox's mother with his tongue. The day after tomorrow, the corpse was **, he was infected, sick, dying, relying on vague consciousness, he crawled out of the fox hole, wanted to catch something to eat, but fainted on the Yellow River beach, and was rescued by a fisherman in Qingshi Town.
The fisherman was originally a landless owner in Qingshi Town, when the whole country had been liberated, and a large mansion handed down by his ancestors was confiscated, and he himself accepted the transformation, living in a dilapidated house not far from the big mansion (this is this house, Yang Shujun said), in addition to sweeping the streets of Qingshi Town every day, he leaned on the Yellow River to fish and handed it over to the government, and paid for his work.
On this day, he went to the Yellow River to fish as usual, and as he walked along the river, he suddenly saw a naked child lying on the river beach. Touching his breath with his hand, he carried the child back to his home. After decocting a few pairs of herbs and feeding them to the child, his illness improved. The fisherman now knows how to speak at all, and is very afraid of light, so he hides in a dark corner every day, and screams at him. And at night, he was especially energetic, crawling around the house like a dog, arching the door with his head.
Even so, the fishermen did not dislike him, and the fisherman's wife died of a cerebral hemorrhage before the liberation, and never remarried, so he had no heirs, so he took the child as his own son, and gave him a portion of his daily rations. Then he spent two whole years teaching the boy to speak and walk like a human.
After learning to speak, the child told the fisherman that he had been raised by a fox and that he did not know who his real parents were. So, the fishermen gave him a name, called Little Fox. Since the little fox was adopted after he was sensible, he retained a lot of fox characteristics. During the day, he looks like a normal person. But at night, the fox trait in him will come out.
There is a fox fairy temple in the town, because the government opposes superstition, so after the liberation of the country, the incense in the temple was cut off, and no one usually goes there. But Xiaohu often goes, and sometimes, he sits in the temple for a day. He regarded the statue of the fox fairy as his deceased fox mother, and confided in it in a language that no one could understand, 'woo woo woo', and poured out his thoughts...
One day later, Xiaohu met a man who came from the other side of the Yellow River and offered incense to Fox Daxian. He was very strange, the incense in the temple had long been broken, why did this uncle come over to offer incense? So I started talking to him. After talking, he learned that this person's surname was Xu, so he called him Uncle Xu. Uncle Xu would come to the Fox Immortal Temple every once in a while to make incense, and after coming and going, the little fox became acquainted with him. Uncle Xu is a very good person, and he likes Xiaohu very much, and every time he comes over, he will bring Xiaohu some dried fish that he pickles. In addition, Uncle Xu also joined the army and told Xiaohu many stories about their war with Japanese devils in Taihang Mountain.
One day later, somehow, Uncle Xu talked about his son, and he told Xiaohu that in addition to his current third son, he had two sons in front of him, who were thrown into the Yellow River by the villagers of Gaojia Village, and if those two children were still alive, they should be as old as Xiaohu. Uncle Xu said that he didn't know why, every time he saw Xiaohu, he would have an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and then he thought of his two sons who died young.
That day, Uncle Xu cried for a long time, he said that the two children had just been born, and he even hugged them, but they were snatched away by those villagers. Xiaohu thought of his life experience and cried with him, but Uncle Xu's next sentence immediately shocked him and couldn't cry. Uncle Xu said that he remembers very well that one of the children had a butterfly-shaped birthmark on his stomach...
After Uncle Xu left, the little fox lifted his clothes, the sun shone on his stomach, and a birthmark was like a cyan butterfly, stretching its wings... After that day, Xiaohu knew that he was Uncle Xu's son.
That's right, the 'Uncle Xu' here is Xu Xiangqian, and the little fox is one of the two children who were thrown into the Yellow River by the villagers of Gaojia Village, who was somehow rescued by a fox and survived by eating fox milk.
After learning the truth, Xiaohu did not recognize Xu Xiangqian, because once he recognized, it meant that he might have to leave his adoptive father, Xu Xiangqian still had a son after all, and his adoptive father was lonely. Although he didn't recognize each other, Xiaohu did his duty as a son, every time Xu Qianqian came over, he would boil a basin of water to wash his feet, and then beat his shoulders and rub his back to relieve the fatigue of running.
Xu Xiangqian also liked him more and more, and took him across the river and let him play with Gao Laosan for a day. Xiaohu wanted to see what the villagers who threw him into the Yellow River were like, so he went to Gaojia Village, and when he passed by the reeds in front of the village, with the characteristics of foxes, he smelled that there were his own 'kind' in the reeds.
When he came to the reeds, he now had a fox hole in it, and there lived a fox in the hole that looked very much like his fox mother...
Since then, the little fox has often crossed the river to visit the fox. And just like that, year after year. On this day, Xu Xiangqian suddenly came to Qingshi Town to find Xiaohu, saying that he once again led the people of Gaojia Village to find those fish that were blessed by the river god, and it was estimated that they would be punished by God, and there was not much Yangshou left. Therefore, he decided to pass on the technique of yin and yang to Xiaohu, so as not to be taken into the coffin by himself when he arrived...
