Lao Langzhong explained to the butcher unhurriedly that from the perspective of qi and meridians, the meridians of this fox were completely different from those of ordinary foxes, but very close to humans.

At the beginning, they had to learn to diagnose the pulse, not only to touch the pulse of a person, but also to touch the pulse of a sheep, a horse, a rabbit, a fox, etc., and there is a big gap between the pulses of these different animals.

It is said that Hua Tuo does not need to look with his eyes, but only through the guò vein, he can find out what kind of animal it is.

But this is not the most powerful, the most powerful pulse diagnosis master, can not only touch the veins of beasts, but also the veins of flowers and trees, and just through the guò veins, they can know what it is, without even looking at it.

What shocked Lao Langzhong even more was that this strange fox's 'Heavenly Eye Vein' had been opened, and once this 'Heavenly Eye Vein' was opened, he could know the past and the future, and could predict people's fortunes and misfortunes. However, although this kind of person can clearly know the fate of others, he cannot understand his own life experience, which is the so-called 'healer cannot heal himself.' In other words, this monster that looks like a fox is actually a person, and it is also a person with extraordinary intelligence.

When the old man said this, the butcher broke out in a cold sweat - although he had slaughtered all kinds of beasts, he had never killed anyone. When Lao Langzhong said that the monster on the meat board was not a fox at all, but a person, the butcher felt a churning in his stomach and almost vomited.

But what happened next was even more unexpected for the butcher.

Just as he was standing there, uncomfortable and a little overwhelmed, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The butcher couldn't help but be surprised, and the old man was also a little surprised, because he didn't expect that in this cold night when the snow was flying, there would be people coming to the butcher's door, he looked left and right, and wanted to quickly find a cloth to cover the bloody monster corpse on the meat board.

But the two of them in the house were stunned, and before the butcher could open the door, the door creaked and was pushed open, and the person who came in from the outside turned out to be Granny Feng from the town.

Granny Feng is a lonely wife, her wife died early, and she has no children and no daughters. People in their seventies still have to rely on laundry and cleaning to earn food, which is very lonely.

Although she and the butcher know each other, they don't have any contact on weekdays, and Granny Feng has never bought meat, let alone entered the butcher's butcher's shop. But I don't know why, in this winter night when the cold wind is roaring and the snow is falling, this Granny Feng suddenly came to the butcher's shop, what is the matter with her coming here?

Before the butcher could ask anything, this Granny Feng saw the bloody corpse on the meat board at a glance, only to see her eyes rolled, and without saying a word, she fainted on the ground.

This frightened the butcher, and he hurriedly ran over and squatted down, holding Granny Feng in his arms, and kept calling.

Lao Langzhong was still more calm, he also hurriedly walked over, first touched Granny Feng's pulse, and then asked the butcher to quickly carry Granny Feng to the bed, cover it with a quilt, and then asked the butcher to prepare a bowl of hot ginger soup, and slowly poured it into Granny Feng, Granny Feng grunted a few times in her mouth, and then slowly opened her eyes and woke up.

As soon as he woke up, he didn't say anything, he cried bitterly, and muttered things like 'my son, my hard-working son', which confused the butcher and the old man, or the old man has a lot of experience and a wide range of views, as if he thought of something, he suddenly asked Granny Feng: 'You mean that monster like a fox, is it your son?' ’。

When Granny Feng heard Lao Langzhong's question, she actually nodded again and again while crying. At this moment, the butcher next to him was completely shocked, and the ginger soup wrist in his hand snapped, fell to the ground, and shattered to the ground.

How could that monster be Granny Feng's son?

After waiting for a long time, Granny Feng slowly calmed down, and while wiping her tears, she told the two of them what happened.

This Granny Feng's wife turned out to be a hunter, but Granny Feng was very weak when she was young, and although she was pregnant with several children, she didn't succeed in the end, so when she was in her thirties, she still had no children and no daughters.

However, Granny Feng's wife is a person with a wide heart and a fat body, so she doesn't care too much about this.

Because the fur of the foxes in this mountain is particularly good, one year, a merchant from Hangzhou came here to buy a large number of fox skins, and the price was quite good, so in a short time, local hunters began to hunt a large number of foxes.

However, for some reason, in just a few months, many hunters who caught foxes died - some fell into a special kind of trap, and some were inexplicably stoned to death.

More than a dozen hunters died.

With so many people dying in a row, people can't help but wonder if someone deliberately killed these hunters. The government sent someone to investigate, but in the end nothing was found.

The strange thing is that the same medicine farmer who went into the mountains to collect medicine, but no one had an accident, only the hunter who hit the fox had an accident.

Moreover, before the large-scale hunting of foxes, no hunter had ever died in the mountains, why did so many hunters die at the beginning of the large-scale killing of foxes this time, did it anger the fox fairy, the fox fairy appeared, and killed these hunters?

At that time, people speculated like this, so much so that many hunters did not dare to hunt foxes anymore.

It is strange to say that those hunters who no longer hunt foxes are really safe, but there are still some hunters who are stupid and bold and want to get rich, and they still hunt foxes in large numbers, and this kind of hunter is still dying.

Granny Feng's wife is very stubborn, but extremely smart, as an experienced old hunter, he has been hunting in the mountains for nearly twenty years, and he has never seen any fox fairies, and he doesn't believe in this very much.

But in the beginning, he didn't hunt foxes like other hunters to make more money, so he didn't encounter any danger.

However, when his peers died one by one, he felt that there was something strange in this, so he secretly resolved to find out what was going on.

First, he took a closer look at the traps.

He was amazed to find that these traps were very terrible, and they were all traps dug for people, because only the weight of a person could fall when they stepped on them, and ordinary animals, even if they walked over them, would be fine.

Moreover, the depth of this trap is as deep as three adults, and the reason why it is so deep is not that it is not completely dug, but that it is first found in a relatively concave place, and then by taking advantage of the terrain, it is dug down a distance of one person deep, and the top is covered with branches.

This kind of trap is very well camouflaged, and it is all downhill, which is extremely difficult for ordinary people to find, so it is easy to fall, and once it falls, it is difficult to survive.

Because in this trap, there is a kind of wooden awl that is extremely sharp. This kind of wooden awl is made of the branches of a birch tree in the mountains, which are brittle and hard, and if the head is sharpened, the bottom is buried deep in the earth, and the pointed head is pointed upwards, so that when a person falls, the body will definitely be pierced.

Moreover, this birch tree is also poisonous, and when you don't pay attention to it, even if you are scratched a little bit by the branches of this birch, you have to use special herbs to apply it externally, and it will take several months for the wound to heal completely. Therefore, once you are pierced by this branch, even if you can't die at that time, you can't hope to live.

But Granny Feng's wife was very careful, and after careful observation, he found some details that no one else had noticed - these traps were not dug with shovels or other tools, but like some kind of wild beast, dug out with their claws, and after carefully looking at the traces left on the trap wall, he was basically sure that they should be the paw prints of foxes.

Moreover, if you look closely at the wooden awls in the cave, you can also determine from the marks left on them that they were not cut with a knife, but most likely gnawed by a fox with its teeth.

Although Granny Feng's wife knew that foxes were extremely intelligent and cunning compared to other animals, ordinary foxes would never be able to design such elaborate traps.

What's going on here?

Granny Feng's wife has been in the mountains for so many years, and of course she is also very familiar with the terrain in the mountains, especially the places he frequents, so he chose a suitable place to set this kind of trap and began to secretly squat and observe.

The good hunter, who is generally very patient, lay there quietly, and waited for two days and two nights, until at last at midnight the next day, by the light of the moon, he saw what was really going on—and behold, in the bright moonlight, a fox completely hairless, and larger than the average fox, commanding a group of foxes—dozens of them—to dig traps and bury wooden cones by the topography.

When Granny Feng's wife saw it, she understood that this hairless fox was the leader of this group of foxes, and this hairless fox was probably smarter than ordinary people.

But Granny Feng's wife still hasn't figured out one thing - why don't those hunters and medicine pickers who don't hunt foxes fall into this trap?

He decided to take the plunge himself.

After daybreak, he deliberately pretended to come from a distance, because he had never killed a fox in more than a year, so he wanted to see what would happen to him, who had not hunted foxes on a large scale, when he walked towards that trap.

Because he knew that the trap was there, he knew the bottom of his heart, so he walked forward without hurrying.

But when he was about to reach the edge of the trap, suddenly he heard a strange rooster crow, and then the lid of the trap suddenly collapsed, and the trap appeared clearly in front of his eyes.

At this moment, Granny Feng's wife immediately understood the mystery of this - it turned out that next to each trap, there were foxes guarding it.

And foxes rely on their sense of smell to sniff out whether there is a smell of foxes on the visitor, and if there is, it means that the person who came has hunted the fox, and they will let the person fall into the trap.

But if there is no smell of foxes on the visitor, it means that the person has not caught the fox, and the fox will send a secret signal to pull the vine that has been buried in advance, so that the lid of the trap will collapse, so that the person who comes can find the trap in advance and avoid falling again.
