Chapter 300: A Mysterious Moonlit Night

As soon as this bowl is broken, the normal reaction of ordinary people should be to turn their heads to look at it immediately. But to Zheng Yushi's surprise, the child's head didn't move at all, still facing Zheng Yushi, but the child's eyes couldn't help but glance at the door - the child's series of movements, just like when a person is stuck in the neck and can't turn, and he wants to see things next to him, so he can only turn his eyes.

But just when the child rolled his eyes, Zheng Yushi vaguely saw that the child's eyes seemed to be very different from ordinary people, and he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart - could it be that this child is "double pupils".

As a scholar, Zheng Yushi certainly knows that in history, it is said that some people have "double pupils", that is, ordinary people have only one black pupil on the white of their eyes, but this person has two.

Physiognomy believes that "double pupils" is a kind of anomaly, symbolizing auspiciousness and wealth, and is often a symbol of the emperor, Cangjie, Yu Shun, Jin Wengong, Xiang Yu, Li Yu, etc., are said to be "double pupils".

But this child is not this kind of "double pupil".

Because when the child's eyes rolled, Zheng Yushi saw that there was a red pupil on the white of the child's left eye!

This red pupil is usually hidden on the whites of the eyes that are covered by the eyelids, and if the child does not turn his eyes vigorously, others will not be able to see them.

Zheng Yushi suddenly understood that in the face of such an unexpected situation, the reason why this child was able not to turn his head to look was probably the result of his long-term deliberate behavior - because when he turned his head to look at things, the red pupil on the white of his eye would be more easily exposed, so this child should try to keep facing others in normal times, and try not to look left and right, in this way, to avoid the red pupil in his eye being seen.

But in such a strange environment, and it is still in the official mansion, the child should be very nervous in his heart, and suddenly heard the sound of the bowl being broken, although he relied on the habit he had developed for a long time and was able to do it without turning his head to look, but he still couldn't control his eyeballs, and it was the moment when his eyes glanced at it, the red pupil was slightly exposed, and this moment, Zheng Yushi, who was observed in detail, accurately captured.

When he first heard about this child's legendary experience, Zheng Yushi faintly felt that there must be something special about this child, so from the moment they met, Zheng Yushi began to secretly observe this child, not letting go of any details, but he never found anything abnormal.

It wasn't until the bowl at the door was knocked over to the ground that there was such an opportunity, so that Zheng Yushi found that this child's eyes were indeed too different - not only the "double pupils", but also the other pupils, which were still red, although Zheng Yushi had read countless books, was knowledgeable, and had seen a lot of wild history anecdotes, but he had never heard of such a strange person.

Could it be that the fact that this child was not eaten by a python has something to do with his special "double pupils"? Or is there something more special about this child's eyes?

This child is very smart, and after subconsciously glancing at the door, he immediately felt that he was a little out of shape, so he immediately took his eyes away, and quickly lowered his head.

And Zheng Yushi remained silent, pretending not to see anything, and continued to chat with the child.

After this short period of contact, Zheng Yushi already felt that no matter whether this child had other thaumaturgical abilities or not, in terms of intelligence and wisdom, he far surpassed ordinary children.

After chatting for more than an hour, it was getting dark, because the county seat was dozens of miles away from the child's village, so Zheng Yushi found a house in the backyard of the county government and left the child to live.

In this way, after settling the child and eating dinner, Zheng Yushi paced back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back, thinking hard about how to find a breakthrough from the child.

During the day's conversation, Zheng Yushi finally tried to ask the child if he had seen the python in the mountains, but the child simply denied it. Moreover, Zheng Yushi could still see that the child was very reluctant to talk about the python.

And the child's attitude made Zheng Yushi feel that there must be a mystery in it.

Zheng Yushi can intuitively feel that this is a very "special" child, and can basically conclude that this child must have a shocking secret, but as for what secret?

Zheng Yushi couldn't think of it for a while, so he could only think hard in the house.

At that time, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky was high and cool, and the bright moon was in the sky.

Zheng Yushi first paced around the house for a while, and then rummaged through the book for a long time, hoping to find some records of the child's eyes from the book, but there was still no progress in looking for it.

He was bored in his heart, and when he looked at the watery moonlight outside, he walked slowly into the courtyard, stretched, let out a sigh, and stretched his limbs, and then felt much more relaxed.

After a while, Zheng Yushi came to the backyard and wanted to talk to the child for a while, but found that the light in the child's room had been extinguished. At this time, the drums of the third watch sounded, and Zheng Yushi realized that the night was already very deep.

I wanted to go back to the house to sleep, but looking at the bright moonlight, as well as the rocks and pavilions in the backyard, I felt that the scenery was very beautiful, so I couldn't help but sit in a pavilion and chant poetry silently in my heart.

This county government was originally the residence of a local vassal king, but later because the vassal king committed a crime, he was reprimanded by the emperor and went to other territories, and it became a county office.

This courtyard covers an area of dozens of acres, there are several pavilions and pavilions in it, the scale is very large, and it is built by the mountain, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Just as Zheng Yushi's thoughts were springing, suddenly, by the bright moonlight, Zheng Yushi saw something moving on the wall not far away.

Zheng Yushi's heart tightened, and he quickly bent down, hid in the dark of the pavilion, and carefully looked at what was on the wall. After the thing jumped down, Zheng Yushi realized that it was a fox!

This pavilion was originally in a very hidden shade, so the fox did not find anyone in the pavilion, after it came down from the wall, it looked around vigilantly, as if it did not find anything abnormal, so it barked softly, and then, from the wall came out of the head of another fox, and then, the third, the fourth ......, and jumped down more than ten of them.

When the foxes came down from the wall, they slowly walked in a neat line towards the room where the child lived.

In the middle of the night, seeing this strange scene, Zheng Yushi was shocked, he still knows more about foxes, not only from various ghost legends, he has read a lot of stories about foxes, even in reality, he is no stranger to foxes, because his hometown is also at the foot of the mountain, and there are also many foxes there.

Therefore, Zheng Yushi knew from a young age that the fox was a very cunning animal, not only imitating the calls of various animals, but also avoiding the traps of hunters, and few animals have this ability and spirituality.

In addition, the fox will also hold a funeral, in Zheng Yushi's hometown, many people know this "custom" of the fox, and many people have encountered it. When Zheng Yushi was a child, he experienced this strange thing firsthand.

That year, Zheng Yushi was still young, he himself took a dog to chase pheasants, and he chased along the mountain road for two or three miles, on a hillside, Zheng Yushi suddenly found that there were twenty or thirty foxes in front of him, and these foxes, when they saw Zheng Yushi, were not afraid at all, and they had no intention of avoiding.

When Zheng Yushi saw this kind of scene, he was shocked all of a sudden, because it was the first time he had seen the scene of so many foxes gathering together.

I saw three or four very large foxes, with their claws on the ground, and soon dug out a pit in the ground, Zheng Yushi found that the location of the pit they had chosen was also very good, it was in the soft area between two boulders, where the soil layer was easy to dig.

After digging a deep hole, two foxes dragged a dead fox out and dragged the dead fox into the pit.

Another old fox walked up to the dead fox, sniffed the dead fox from beginning to end, and then began to raise his face and wail, and the other foxes also wailed like this, and for a while, the whole mountain field was this sound.

Immediately afterwards, the foxes began to dig into the pit with their paws, and soon a "fox grave" was piled up. After that, the foxes circled around this "fox grave", and it took a long time for the foxes to disperse.

Decades have passed, and this scene is still very clear in Zheng Yushi's memory. It was also after that that Zheng Yushi really felt that the fox was indeed a very spiritual beast.

And tonight, I saw so many foxes in groups, and walked to the room where the child lived. So, Zheng Yushi secretly hid behind the pillar, quietly observing, wondering what these foxes were going to do At this time, for some reason, Zheng Yushi felt that this child was even more unusual.

When the dozen or so foxes crept under the window of the child's room, one of them jumped on the window, knocked on the window with his front paws, and then jumped down again.

After a while, the door opened slightly, and the child came out of the house, and he looked around nervously, but found no one, and then squatted down, stroked the head of the fox with his hand, and lowered his voice, and said something to the fox.

After saying this for a while, suddenly, the fox who took the lead called softly to the back, and saw a very large fox come out of the queue, this fox was almost half the size of ordinary foxes.

Zheng Yushi noticed that in the mouth of this big fox, there seemed to be something in his mouth.

The big fox walked up to the child and gave the thing in his mouth to the child. At this time, the child straightened up, and those foxes seemed to turn away, and at this moment, Zheng Yushi suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "What demons and monsters, dare to come here to make trouble!" ”

In the quiet of the night, Zheng Yushi's voice was very loud, whether it was the foxes or the child, they were frightened by this sound.

After Zheng Yushi shouted this, he also stood up and strode towards the child and the fox.

When the foxes saw the sudden appearance of such a person, they could not help but panic, and at once they scattered and fled, and soon they all jumped on the wall and ran out of the yard.

That kid never dreamed that Zheng Yushi would suddenly appear at this time, and he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do for a while.
