Chapter 37: The Fox
"What the fuck, there's a vixen living in this hole?" Yang Shujun said in surprise.
I said in my heart, could it be that the laughter that Zhao Yinyang heard that night, and the light things he saw in the ancestral tomb of Gaojia Village, were all ghosts made by foxes in the cave? …
Xiao Hei lay on the edge of the hole and sniffed, and was about to drill into the hole with his front legs stretched, but was stopped by Miss Bai.
Miss Bai and I glanced at each other, and judging from Xiao Hei's reaction, the things in this cave should be very unusual.
The village elder took the skull from the strong villager's hand, carefully placed it on the ground, and knelt down. The old man knelt down, and the villagers knelt too, and the 'clucking horn' overwhelmed a large field of reeds.
Miss Bai and I hurriedly flashed to the side, so as not to be bowed down by the villagers. That Zhao Yinyang reacted slowly, and was kicked by Village Chief Zhao and dragged over.
The village elder first kowtowed three times to the skull, and then slapped himself a few times. The villagers followed suit, and for a while, the reeds crackled one after another. That's a real pump, except for the ignorant children, everyone is cruel to themselves, and after pumping, their faces are swollen.
Several of us watched this scene, and we were a little shocked, these villagers revered their ancestors in a way that every one of us imagined.
The old man snorted and cried, and confessed to the skull that he had failed in his duty and humiliated his ancestors. After the confession, the old man jumped up two meters high as if he had a spring on his body, and pointed to the hole hysterically and said, "Smoke it for me, smoke this fox out and peel it and cramp!"
A few of us were secretly speechless, Yang Shujun whispered to Zhao Yinyang beside him, See, if you find out that it was not the fox that stole the dead head, it was really thrown by you, and you were the one who was peeled and cramped...
A few villagers pulled out a large hug of grass and lit it and put it at the entrance of the cave. More than a dozen villagers were not afraid of choking, and stood in a circle around the cave. We covered our noses as we looked through the crack into the hole. After about ten minutes, a fox the size of a child suddenly jumped out of the hole. The villagers rushed up and pinned the fox to the ground, and Xiao Hei screamed at the fox.
The fox had an extremely pointed mouth and two large ears, probably because of fear, and the fur on its whole body stood on end. Being pressed by a few villagers, howling and struggling for their lives, he looked pitiful. Miss Bai couldn't bear it and twisted her head to the side. Suddenly, the fox stopped struggling and looked at me with tears in his eyes, as if asking for help.
The moment I made eye contact with it, it was as if my heart had been hit with a punch. Xiao Hei stopped roaring, and it seemed that he also felt pity for the fox, lying on the ground, and watching it silently.
A villager brought a rope and tied the fox up. The old man waved his hand and said, get it back, tomorrow, give our ancestors a round grave, kill it and sacrifice it to our ancestors, and mix it into the banquet to eat! Several villagers strung the fox with their feet tied to a stick, and raised it out of the reeds with a loud cry, and the fox's howl faded away until it was no longer heard.
"Uncle, now that it is found out that the fox stole the skull of your ancestor, do you believe what I said before?" I don't know why, but the old man's attitude towards the fox just now made me full of disgust and disgust for him.
"Well, you do have two hits." The old man nodded.
I pointed to Zhao Yinyang and said, although this person dug up your ancestral grave, he didn't move the bones of your ancestors, let Village Chief Zhao take him to himself, and let the law punish the crime of digging up the grave, what do you think?
The old man looked at Zhao Yinyang with a calm face, snorted and said, Okay.
The fox was kept in the village branch, and a dozen villagers guarded outside with shovels and sticks. When the old man returned from bringing the skull back into the burial chamber, he returned all the things that had been seized to us.
The coffin in Village Chief Zhao's farm car was missing, and it should have been pulled by the tall father and son to be buried, and the old man sent a few villagers out of the village with Village Chief Zhao and Zhao Yinyang to the police station.
"It's really grandma's, we didn't even apologize for illegally imprisoning us, Xiao Leng worked so hard to help them find their ancestors' heads, and they didn't even care about us for a meal, these people really don't know how to lift..."
Coming out of the village, Yang Shujun sat in the car and scolded while eating dried meat.
I smiled bitterly, "It's not bad, the food we brought didn't give us private, and it was all returned to us." ”
"These people are so savage." Miss Bai snorted and whispered, "I think that fox is so pitiful, Ah Leng, should we find a way to rescue that fox?" ”
I smiled, "I have that idea too." ”
"Hey, this little couple is overflowing with love." Yang Shujun said, "What if it's really a vixen that will hurt people?" ”
Miss Bai pursed her mouth, "Then let's kill Uncle Yang first." ”
Yang Shujun smiled 'hehe', "I'm not afraid, I'm worried about Xiao Leng, saved the vixen, what if the vixen is grateful to Dade for pestering Xiao Leng with his body, what should someone do?" … Oops..."
"Oops, it hurts!"
Miss Bai glared at me and snorted, "I didn't hit you again, what do you hurt?" ”
I smiled and said, "Okay, no kidding, let's be serious." Vixens are only available in chatting, how can there be vixens in real life? That fox still has spirituality, and it won't be a spirit. I think there must be a reason why it stole the head of the ancestor of Gaojia Village. ”
"Why, you still want to rescue that fox and let it sue you for stealing that head?" Miss Bai smiled.
"Of course not, I want to look it up, I always feel that there may be something strange in this village, who made me a strange magician..."
After some deliberation, we decided to go out at night to save the fox. Try not to do anything with people in the village, so as not to hurt anyone.
We pulled into a wasteland not far from the village and stopped, and to see the time, it was not yet one o'clock in the afternoon. That wasteland was not very far from the Yellow River embankment, and we decided to go for a walk on the Yellow River embankment.
The embankment of this section of the river is not very high, and the embankment is overgrown with wild grass. Blown by the wind, swaying, caressing us like a gentle hand. The sun came out of the clouds and shone on the surface of the river, and from a distance, the river was shining white, like a huge mirror. Breathing in the refreshing and cool river breeze, the love between the three of them immediately rose.
"Hey, there's a boat there!" Yang Shujun pointed to the distance, "Let's go, go over and take a look, maybe it's a fishing boat, there may be fish for sale!" ”
Since it had just rained the day before, the river beach was soft and muddy, so we walked along the river beach to the boat, only to see that it was indeed a fishing boat. The owner and his wife were eating, and the two spoke in a Henan dialect, saying that they had come from upstream to fish, and they were going to leave after eating. The couple was very enthusiastic, we bought a fish with them, and made a pot of fish soup on their boat, although the condiments are simple, but the fish is very fresh, and it is an authentic Yellow River carp, the meat is delicate, the taste is delicious, and the three of them are very happy to eat.
After eating and drinking enough, Yang Shujun wiped his mouth and asked the two couples, "Are you going upstream?" ”
The two nodded.
Yang Shujun smiled, "Great, can you take us half a mile?" ”
Yang Shujun was really polite, but the two couples were also quite happy. The fishing boat opened the waterway, and the machine roared, and suddenly headed upstream. The owner of the boat told us that the water was calm, there were undercurrents below, and there were many whirlpools, and if people fell, they could easily be sucked away. We calculated that we were almost at the location of Gaojia Village, and we let the boat dock on the shore. Miss Bai wanted to give money, but the couple said they didn't want anything.
"Hey, how could anyone live here?" As soon as he got off the boat, Yang Shujun said.
I looked over and saw a section of the river beach in the distance that was very high, and there was a house next to the embankment.
"Let's go, go over and have a look." I waved my hand.
When I came to the front, I saw that it was a stone house, which was very simple. The faint aroma of food peeks through the crack in the door.
"Is anyone home?" I knocked on the door.
As the wooden door creaked open, I and the man who opened the door were stunned at the same time, because this person turned out to be that tall.
