Chapter 44: A vignette in the chicken-fly-dog jump
Almost all the villagers have gathered in the big house, this is where they usually eat, the habit of the fox clan is that everyone eats together, they like the lively feeling, after eating is the activity time, everyone will gather together to sing and dance, this is the most anticipated day of the day, but also the most important entertainment activities.
Couples can enhance their relationship by dancing and singing, young and impulsive little foxes can also find their favorite objects through this activity, if they like it, they can invite each other to dance together, and if both parties think each other is good, then they can further develop the relationship.
Generally the most popular, of course, are the foxes that sing the best and dance the best, and they receive the most invitations, and the objects of choice are naturally much more than those who are poorer.
It is worth mentioning that due to the low fertility rate and the long life expectancy, only having one partner is often not able to meet the needs of foxes, and foxes' marriages are often polygamous and polyandry coexist, so that some embarrassing situations will occur for humans, such as your wife is my husband's wife and other complex relationship chains.
Of course, it is not uncommon for a couple to be loyal and only accompany one person in their lives, but it is very rare, and such a couple will have few or even no offspring.
Although they are all foxes, in fact there are still big differences, some foxes look no different from ordinary wild foxes, some foxes stand upright like people, but the appearance is more like foxes, and some have become almost identical to humans, leaving only a few fox features.
Inside the big room, the table was filled with sumptuous food, and more than two hundred foxes sat separately according to their preferences, and the shape of the table was similar to that of the foxes' buildings.
There are many empty plates on the table, which seem to have been swept away by the foxes, and you can see leftover chicken bones, fish bones, rice, vegetable leaves, etc., and when the event is over, there will be a special person responsible for putting away these plates and utensils.
It's event time, and everyone is waiting for the most beautiful girl named Kiyotsuki to finish her second song, and after this song, the boys who have been waiting for her can start their brave pursuit of her.
It was supposed to be like this... Until that scream broke it all.
"Blame.... Monsters!!!ใ The screams rang out from outside the house, causing Kiyotsuki to stop singing, and some foxes fell into confusion.
"What's going on out there?"
"Who's screaming?"
"It sounds like a child. โ
"Go out and have a look. โ
The lively hall suddenly became a mess, some people knocked down the chair in a panic, making a huge noise, the fox who knocked down the chair hugged his legs and shouted, which triggered a chain reaction, and there was a reckless guy who overturned the dinner plate and sprinkled the fox in front of him with vegetable soup, the foxes screamed, because the voice was already very loud, and suddenly the house became a mess, the foxes pushed each other, and wanted to run outside the house quickly, a series of accidents have caused a chain panic in the fox group, and the scene suddenly became chaoticใ
The beautiful fox girl named Qingyue was standing in front of the stage at a loss, looking at the chaotic scene in front of her stupidly, not knowing what to do, she felt scared, her legs were a little weak, and she felt quite unwilling, in order to succeed in tonight's song, she had been secretly practicing for a long time, originally she thought she could get everyone's applause, and the invitation to the pas de deux of the handsome boy she had admired for a long time, but she didn't expect it to become like this in the end.
She saw that everyone was in a mess, and her favorite handsome boy was in a hurry to find a way to get out, and she didn't even look at her, she felt that her efforts were completely in vain, and her opinion of that boy plummeted.
The crowd was already in chaos, and Qingyue couldn't see her parents, she was completely panicked at this time, and she didn't know what to do.
"Come with me. A big warm hand suddenly grasped her trembling hand, Qingyue was startled and quickly withdrew her hand.
She looked back and saw that it was a male fox he didn't recognize, looking at her anxiously, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Everyone is panicking, grandma is not here, and the gang of abel is trying to maintain order. The strange fox pointed to the old foxes who were yelling next to the fox group, and the old foxes were yelling to maintain order, and with their efforts, the panic of the fox group finally subsided, but still did not restore order.
"You'd better find a place to hide first, it's too chaotic and it's easy to get hurt. The strange fox pointed to the corner next to the stage, where there was no one and seemed safe.
Qingyue, who was already in a panic, nodded quickly, and was led by the strange fox to the side of the stage.
"Just stay here, there will be no problem. The strange fox looked around, made sure there was no problem, and ran back.
"Wait!Where are you going?, don't leave me alone!" Seeing that the strange fox was about to leave like this, Qingyue hurriedly stopped him, she was really scared.
"I have to keep order, I don't know what's going on outside, but we can't go on like this. The strange fox explained, with a look of obscurity.
"I'll go with you. Qingyue didn't know where the courage came from, and the ghost made a god to hold his hand.
"You?" the fox looked Qingyue up and down suspiciously, and his heart seemed to be full of doubts.
"Don't look at me like this, I have a very good voice! I can definitely help everyone!" Seeing the strange fox's questioning expression, Qingyue, who wanted to be strong, felt quite unconvinced.
"Okay!" the strange fox agreed to Qingyue's request and ran with her towards the panicked fox group.
I have to say that the structure of the big house is very unreasonable, there is only one gate for entry and exit, and more than a hundred foxes are crowded at the door.
"Line up, let's go out one by one!" the strange fox put his hand in front of his mouth, and made a cylinder shape so that the sound could travel farther.
"Let's line up, don't panic!" Qingyue also shouted at the fox group like an unfamiliar fox, her voice was really good, and it was much louder than the strange fox on the side.
Thanks to the efforts of the two of them and a few old foxes, the fox herd finally regained order and began to slowly evacuate the big house.
Qingyue's voice was a little hoarse, even if it was to practice singing, she hadn't worked so hard.
Turning her head to look at the strange fox, Qing Yue suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart gradually spreading, and couldn't help but want to be close to him, this feeling he had only had for the handsome boy before, thinking of this, her face flushed slightly.
"What's your name?" asked Kiyotsuki, feeling her heart beat a little faster.
"Absinthe. The strange fox was still looking at the group of foxes in front of him, and replied a little absent-mindedly.
