When he returned, the young hunter did as the old priestess had told him.

As she was leaving, the old goddess told the young hunter how to find the fox cub - according to the old goddess, the cub should live in a cliff and a recess. And it lives on carrion, although it is still a fox cub, but it already has a special predatory ability - it can make a very special sound, and it is incredible that some birds will fly into the cub's nest as if they have been enchanted when they hear this sound.

And as soon as the bird flies into the fox's nest, the young of this fox will immediately bite the bird to death. But it doesn't eat the bird right away, but waits for the bird to rot before eating.

The young hunter did not take much effort to find the fox cub in a den in a cave in the cliff according to the clues provided by the old goddess.

Then, the young hunter got some of the sap of the green vine, which was very difficult for ordinary people to find, but easy for young hunters. When everything was ready, he proceeded completely according to the old goddess's prescription.

Although Xiaocui felt that her husband's behavior was very strange, and she was also worried about her husband's safety, she saw that her husband's determination was so great, and she couldn't stop it anymore.

In this half month, after cooking and eating the fox cubs, he can no longer eat anything other than drink the juice of the vines, and he can't poop, which makes him very painful, sometimes holding his stomach uncomfortably, squatting on the ground all night long, moaning in pain, Xiaocui saw her husband in such pain, and tears fell in distress, and the young hunter's body became weaker and weaker.

By the last few days, the young hunter was too weak to stand up.

Because he had drunk a lot of the juice of that vine, his skin was tinged a faint green, and his whole body exuded the scent of that vine. During this time, Old Man Jiang came to their house every day, and he was also very worried to see the young hunter suffer so much.

Finally, after fourteen full days, the young hunter lying in bed was so weak that he could not even speak, and his belly swelled like that of a pregnant woman who was four or five months pregnant.

Old man Jiang specially took a catty of sesame oil from home, and then with the help of Xiao Cui, he used the sesame oil to take the packet of medicine given by the old goddess and let the young hunter take it.

This medicine really worked, just after taking it for a while, the young hunter's face was slightly red, the old man Jiang supported him, came to the thatched house and squatted, and soon, the young hunter pulled it down very smoothly.

The pulled out by the young hunter, fishy and smelly, and there was a big pile.

Old man Jiang was very shocked when he buried the pulled by the young hunter - in this, old man Jiang actually saw something like a little fox, and it looked very much like the kind of newborn fox cub that had not yet grown hair, which made the old man Jiang goosebumps all over his body, and his scalp was numb, he didn't dare to look closely, and hurriedly filled the into the deep pit dug and buried it.

Of course, he didn't dare to tell the young hunter and Xiao Cui about this. It wasn't until a few years later that he told the child about this unusual detail.

After starting to eat normally, the young hunter quickly recovered, and then, the good news came one after another, Xiao Cui was pregnant!

This made Xiao Cui so excited, and even laughed every day in her dreams, but only the young hunter and the old man Jiang were still very worried in their hearts, because the old goddess once said that whether the child born was normal or not, she didn't dare to guarantee that since the old goddess said so, then the child born was likely to be abnormal.

At that time, the old man Jiang also specially asked the old goddess: "Your old man said that the child may be born abnormal, so what is the abnormal method?" ”

The old goddess rolled her eyes, pursed her lips, and said something that made the two of them break out in a cold sweat: "The worst case is to give birth to a little fox, or a freak who is half human and half fox."

Looking at the depressed looks of the two of them, and then at the silver on the table, the old goddess added comfortingly: "But it may also be a normal child, this kind of chance is half and half." ”

When the young hunter heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will try, let alone half of it."

Having said that, the nervousness in his heart is known only to him.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Cui is about to give birth, in order to be afraid that she will be a freak in her life, and then it will spread quickly, the young hunter decided to let Old Man Jiang's wife deliver the baby.

But what no one expected was that with the birth of this child, the young hunter's family experienced the biggest twist of fate.

First of all, the birth was very smooth, the fetal position was very positive, and when he was born, he was actually a normal child, and the family was ecstatic. Even the old man and the old man Jiang were happy, but as the days passed slowly, as the child slowly grew up, the young hunter couple found that the child was "abnormal" - in the child's eyes, in addition to the same as ordinary people, there was a black pupil, and under the white of the eye, there was a red pupil.

And this red pupil changes with the waxing of the moon - the fuller the moon, the more obvious the red pupil in the child's eyes, and the more broken the moon, the weaker the red pupil in the eye.

In addition, children seem to be very reluctant to play with other children, and especially like to communicate with various animals, when children can't speak, they often talk to chickens, ducks, geese, cats, dogs, sheep, etc.

Strangely, the animals also liked to communicate with him, and often gathered around him.

Although these made the young hunter and Xiao Cui feel very strange, there were no particularly obvious abnormalities in other aspects. Although it is a bit regrettable, the couple also feels that this is a thousand times stronger than not having a son. Thinking about this, the two of them are content.

The young hunter still goes to the mountains to hunt every day, while Xiaocui takes care of the children at home, and the family of three is also happy.

This child is very smart and clever, before the age of five or six, except for the old man and the old man, there is almost no contact with outsiders, even if outsiders occasionally come to his house, this child will squint his eyes, in case people see something abnormal in his eyes. There was no adult to teach him this, but he had no teacher.

When he was eight years old, one day, the young hunter and Xiao Cui were surprised to find that even on the days of the full moon, they didn't even see the red pupils in their son's eyes.

It was only after their repeated questioning that the child told the truth.

It turns out that the child can understand the language of many animals, and he can easily perceive what the animals are thinking and saying.

One in the middle of the night a few months ago, several foxes came to steal their chickens, and the child was sleeping in the house at that time, and when he slept in a daze, he smelled a peculiar smell, which he was very familiar with and knew that it was the smell of foxes.

When the father was not at home, and the mother visited the house or went to the stream to wash clothes, he was alone in the house, and the foxes were surprised to find that this person could communicate with them, and they were all surprised at first.

Then the child becomes extremely respectful, often there are foxes who call the child "king", and the child will release them from the cage, so that they can live, come and go, the foxes in this area, all know that there is such a child, and the average human is very different, can understand their language, and, this child, there is a similar smell to them. Foxes are inherently in awe of man, and they think that of all the beasts in the world, only man is the smartest and most powerful.

So, the foxes in this area regard the child as the leader. There are also often foxes secretly looking for children, and through the unimaginable interaction of ordinary people, the children have of course become extremely familiar with foxes.

After smelling the fox, he quietly got up by himself, tiptoed to a stone in the courtyard and hid. Soon, he saw several foxes jumping off the wall.

When one of the foxes in the front was about to walk towards the chicken coop, one of the foxes suddenly barked softly.

Hearing the cry of the fox, the child understood the meaning of the fox, and the fox probably meant to say: Don't go over yet, why did I suddenly smell the smell of the king, is he also here?

For the average person, all foxes look about the same, but for children, foxes, like people, have their own unique voice and appearance.

The child is most familiar with this "talking" fox, because this fox has tufts of white fur under its neck, and the child calls it Xiaobai.

The child was afraid of scaring these foxes, so he didn't dare to stand up from behind the stone immediately, but behind the stone, he first called in the voice of a fox to show Xiaobai his identity.

When the child got up from behind the stones, in the bright moonlight, he saw four foxes, looking up at him, looking respectful, but the child soon noticed something unusual—the other three foxes, under the moonlight, had a faint red light in their eyes, but only the fox named Xiaobai, whose eyes did not have this red light at all.

The child knew that the pupils of these foxes were similar to their own, and they were all a little red, but it was just that their pupils were redder than theirs. As soon as this pupil is reflected by the moonlight, it will emit a strong red light, but why don't the little white eyes have it?
