After listening to this, the old man sighed deeply and said: "Well, I know, what I want to say is exactly this, in fact, just the day before yesterday, your father and daughter just came to this inn, and when I walked with you, I suddenly smelled the special smell of my daughter, I probably know what is going on, because the same thing, I have also encountered it, alas, why is it so coincidental?" This is human life, I can't guess it, I can't figure it out."

"Do you have a girl who has this strange disease?" The father of the seventh girl asked in surprise.

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not my daughter, it's my wife who also has this disease, but she passed away last year."

Then, the old man poured down a glass of wine, tilted his head, and said bitterly: "Alas, in our lives, we have never done anything lacking in virtue, why is there such retribution."

"Don't be sad, brother, let's talk about what's going on first?"

The old man drank two cups in a row, his eyes were a little red, his throat moved, and he seemed to be a little choked, and the father of the seventh girl saw that the old man was so sad, and he was no longer in a hurry to ask, stretched out a hand, and held the old man's hand tightly.

After a while, the old man slowly calmed down, and he sighed again, and then he spoke: "Alas, my life is miserable, I have no children and no daughters, unlike you, and I have six sons.

Originally, my wife's family and I were world friends, and her family was also hunting. The two of us have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and it is only natural that we later got married. Unexpectedly, my wife suffered from this strange disease, which ruined our two families.

Like my daughter, my wife is also very addicted to fox meat, three meals a day, each meal must have fox meat, or she can't eat anything else, and she also has that special fox smell.

Although I felt awkward at first, I didn't particularly care about it, I just thought it was a bad hobby, nothing else, but then I realized that something was wrong - we had been married for four years, but we couldn't have children, I was the only child in the family, and my parents were going crazy.

But the treatment came and went, but it didn't have any effect, and my parents thought it was my wife's problem; But because the two families have a good relationship, and they don't want to make anything bad because of this matter, so my parents secretly discussed with my father-in-law to see if I could take a concubine.

My father-in-law is very reasonable, his own daughter can't be born, and he also feels very sorry for our family, so without saying a word, he agreed to let me take another concubine.

Our family was a hunter and didn't have much money, but my parents borrowed a lot of money in order to let me take a concubine, and finally let me marry the concubine back home.

But what I didn't expect was that after this concubine got married, two years passed, and she also failed to give birth, so my parents felt that it should be my reason, so the two of them sighed all day long, and burned incense and prayed every day, hoping that the gods would bless me and let me pass on the lineage.

But in my own opinion, it's not that simple.

Alas, our two brothers are also a handful of old people, so for us, there is nothing difficult to hide, therefore, I am not afraid of your brother's jokes, so I will say it straight - I found that my sex is normal, and whether it is my wife or Xinna's concubine, there is nothing special, that kind of thing is normal, but for some reason, I just can't have children.

But after taking a concubine for more than a year, I found that something very unusual began to appear - the concubine's taste gradually changed, and she seemed to like fox meat more and more, and as she ate more fox meat, she also had that smell. But apart from contact with me, she never saw my wife once, because before marrying this concubine, in order to prevent my wife from seeing uncomfortable, I deliberately separated the two of them, and the place where they lived was several miles away.

But why did that concubine also contract this strange disease?

I thought about it, but there was only one possibility - I had intercourse with Guò and transferred this strange illness to my concubine. But then something worse happened, not only did the concubine fail to bear me children, but she died a year after suffering from this strange disease.

From then on, I want to take a concubine again, not to mention that there is no money in the family, even if there is money, no woman dares to marry into our family again, because the rumors outside are already boiling.

My parents died of depression because of these things, and passed away one after another, my father-in-law was such a baby girl as my wife, and my mother-in-law died early, and my father-in-law was a father and a mother, and single-handedly pulled my wife up, and the feelings were much deeper than ordinary fathers and daughters.

Seeing his daughter so unfortunate, and his old friend's family also implicated, he was both sad and guilty, and during a hunting trip, probably because of a trance, he fell down a hillside that was not high, and after being rescued home, he lay in bed for less than two months, and also died.

In this way, our two families were completely ruined by my wife's illness, and my wife was not happy, she had hanged herself twice, and wanted to die, but fortunately I was saved in time, at that time, I persuaded her that we were not yet thirty years old, and if we died like this, how to meet the old people on both sides under the nine springs, if the old people on both sides saw us underground, how sad would they be, and then wouldn't it be even more unfilial?

I also said to my wife, I am now a person without a father or mother, and I have no relatives, if you die, how can I live alone and alone in the world.

As soon as I persuaded him, my wife dispelled the idea of dying, and the two of us hugged each other and cried bitterly. But we never knew what my wife was suffering from.

What I didn't expect was that this strange disease, which even many famous doctors didn't know about, was told the cause by an unexpected person.

The person who said the cause of this disease had not studied medicine for a day, and he was not a monk or Taoist priest with magical powers, or a witch or the like, but an old butcher who sold meat.

The butcher was in his eighties, but he was in very good health, and he looked like he was fifty or sixty years old. Most of the prey I hunted was sold to him, because he was a 'disgusting and good-looking' man - he looked like a bad guy, but at the bottom of his heart he was very good.

One night, the two of us sat down to drink together, as our brothers did today, and when he seemed to be drunk, he seemed to be interested, and suddenly said to me mysteriously, he knew what was going on with my wife's illness.

Seeing that I was a little unconvinced, he talked in detail about the cause and effect of the incident.

The old butcher told me that he had slaughtered animals all his life, and most of them were beasts in the mountains, so he had encountered all kinds of strange situations.

For example, a fox with two heads, a hare with eight legs, etc., but these are not the strangest, the strangest time is when he was in his twenties, he met a fox.

The fox is very special, full of **, and very large, two or three times larger than ordinary foxes, and from the body shape, it is more like a monkey, or like a human, but the head is a fox head.

This strange fox was picked up by a local hunter in the winter on a snow field deep in the mountains, and at that time, for some reason, the fox froze to death on the snow, so he dragged it back and bought it in the butcher's shop.

At that time, because this butcher was young, he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and his mind was simple, so he thought that this fox was quite strange at that time, and he didn't think much about anything else.

He spent a few large sums of money to buy this fox, and with a hook, hung this strange fox at the door of the butcher's shop, so as to attract more people to come and see it, because any business shop always hopes to get more people to notice.

Sure enough, a lot of people quickly gathered at the door. People pointed and talked a lot, because no one had ever seen such a strange fox.

That same night, it suddenly snowed heavily, and the north wind roared, and it was not long before the snow on the ground was very thick. Because of the bad weather, people had dinner early, closed their doors, and rested under the bed.

The old butcher cleaned up the shop, and after dinner, he made the stove and prepared to sleep under the bed early.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the old butcher opened it and was very surprised, for he could never have imagined that this man would suddenly come to his butcher's shop on this snowy day—it turned out to be a very famous local old man, and that old man, within a radius of several hundred miles, was a famous doctor.

The butcher was stunned at that time, he really couldn't figure out why this old famous doctor came at this time, and he was still alone, because in normal times, even if he bought meat, he would not come in person, but his servants in the house would buy it.

After letting Lao Langzhong into the house, the butcher knew the purpose of Lao Langzhong's trip - it turned out that Lao Langzhong came to the butcher shop to buy the corpse of this strange fox. And before he bargained, he gave the old butcher ten taels of silver with one mouth.

These ten taels of silver are an astonishing amount for the butcher, because he can't earn so much money for half a year.

This, of course, made the butcher extremely excited, and thanked him repeatedly.

But what happened next was even more strange - after Lao Langzhong bought the fox, he did not take it away, but asked the butcher to cut the fox with a knife, and cut it in the position he requested.

This is not difficult for the old butcher, he cuts and chops meat all day long, and he is skilled in knife work, and when customers buy meat, he never misses it.

Lao Langzhong did not ask him to cut the flesh, but asked him to use a knife to peel off the skin on the back of the neck of this strange fox, and especially instructed him not to hurt the flesh under the skin when peeling.

Although the butcher thought Lao Langzhong's request was strange, he still did it.

He turned the fox over, and then according to the position indicated by Lao Langzhong, he took the skin on the back of the fox's neck, carefully using a small spatula, and slowly peeled it off, revealing the flesh and meridians underneath.

After a long while, he seemed to have discovered some heavy secrets, and seemed to be extremely excited, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was saying to the butcher: "I guessed right, this fox really opened the 'Heavenly Eye Vein', and it is not a fox, but a very deformed person."

When the butcher heard Lao Langzhong say this, he almost sat on the ground, and he couldn't believe his ears - what, this is not a fox, but a person, how can it be?
