The next day, the sky cleared, and the dust in the sky was swept into the ground by the heavy snow the night before. The sky is blue, and the sunlight is shining on the snow, which is particularly dazzling.

Not far away, the old man Lang Zhonggao and another old man were rushing to Liu Daniu's house. Juan'er hung the washed clothes on the bamboo pole in the yard and happened to see the two.

Walking with Gao Langzhong was Gu Changqiu, the village head of Shouling Village.

"Juanzi, where are the cool clothes? How is that young man recovering? The village chief heard about it and wanted to come and see it. Gao Langzhong asked.

Juanzi hurried a few steps closer, "Junbo is in good spirits now, but he coughs hard." Come into the house quickly. ”

Gu Changqiu, the village head, entered the house and saw Junbo sitting on Kang Yan'er resting, "Hello, young man, how is your recovery?"

Juan'er hurriedly introduced: "Brother Jun Bo, this is our village chief, and he made a special trip to see you." ”

Jun Bo got up and saluted: "It's no big deal here, how dare you have the village chief Lao coming, I'm really sorry." ”

Gu Changqiu replied: "The young man's name is Junbo, right, hmm! Sit down, no matter what, you are also a guest of our village." Yesterday, I heard Gao Langzhong talk about you, and the disappearance of the big cow, I pondered for a night, this matter is not so coincidental, this is not called Gao Langzhong to come over early in the morning to see. ”

Gao Langzhong saw that Gu Changqiu finished speaking, so he stepped forward to check Junbo's pulse, "Young man, it's still the problem I said last time, although most of the toxins are discharged, but there are still a few remaining in the viscera, I'm afraid it's not easy to eliminate! I'm afraid it's still dangerous......"

Juan'er was anxious, "Village Chief, you are well-informed, is there no way to do this?"

The village chief touched his chin and coughed lightly and said to Junbo: "This... This solution is possible, that is... It's ......"

Jun Bo smiled: "Village Chief, even if you speak out, it's okay. ”

Gu Changqiu first looked at Juan'er and then nodded with Gao Langzhong, "Okay, then I'll say it! I won't hide it from you, twenty years ago, a similar situation actually happened in our village." ”

Junbo and Juan'er looked at Gu Changqiu in surprise.

"It was a night in the winter of 20 years ago, the firewood for burning the kang in the house was gone, I went to the yard to get some dry firewood, I always felt that there was movement behind the firewood, I leaned over to take a look, scared me, there was a person behind the firewood, you said that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a monster, not to mention how scary it is, the skin of the whole body is black, there is still blood on the neck, the eyes are just two words, despair.

I was also scared at that time, and I was about to call someone, but the man actually spoke, and he said, don't... Don't call people, I'm a little pillar, I'm not a monster, I was scratched by a fox, and that fox has... Nine... With nine tails and glowing green eyes, it's... It's a monster...... Brother Gu, please save me.

As soon as I heard the little pillar, I was even more panicked, and I took a closer look, my mother, it was really a small pillar in our village. ”

Juan'er seemed to be frightened, and asked, "Is it the little pillar at the east end of the village?" I haven't seen him for many years!" After speaking, she leaned towards Junbo's side.

Junbo was also surprised: "Then what's next?"

The village chief took a deep puff of dry smoke, "Hmm...... It was the little pillar at the east end, and then I asked him, where did you meet the nine-tailed fox, and he said that it was at the foot of the mountain behind our village, and on his way back from selling duck eggs from the market, it was not long after it got dark. He was caught by the fox and clawed, so he ran desperately and shouted for help, but fortunately it was close to the entrance of the village, and the nine-tailed fox seemed to be afraid, so he turned around and ran.

When the little pillar entered the village, he found that his complexion had changed and his neck was bleeding, so he happened to pass by my house and hid behind the firewood. ”

Junbo asked: "It's really a fox, what I saw that night was a fox, but he changed into a human form, I don't know if what I saw and what Xiaozhu saw is the same, village chief, can you take me to Xiaozhu quickly?"

Gao Langzhong sighed and said, "It's been many years since he left Shouling Village, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he is not here!"

Gu Changqiu said hesitantly: "Actually, this little pillar has also come back, but he met me and left, this was all three years ago, I won't hide it from you, the day he was scratched by the fox, I left him at my house, but the next morning he disappeared, when we met again, his appearance recovered, and even the claw marks on his neck were invisible, proving that this poison can be cured, and the purpose of my coming today is also to tell this matter, so that you can have hope." ”

Junbo was puzzled, "Village Chief, may I ask what happened to Xiaozhu looking for you three years ago?"

Gu Changqiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Oops...... He said that his illness was cured, and he came back to thank me, and when he left, he gave it to me... Give me a blue pillar and tell me to keep it, saying it's a priceless treasure! ”

Juan'er asked, "Where's the beads?"

Junbo hurriedly interjected, "Juan'er don't ask, this is the village chief's private property, it's not easy to ask." ”

Gu Changqiu smiled, "This.... It is not very convenient to disclose. That bead must be a treasure anyway. ”

Jun Bohao has no clue, how is this little pillar so good, and where does this jewel come from...... Things are getting more and more complicated!

Gu Changqiu filled another pot of dry tobacco, and said while smoking, "Juanzi, I thought that your brother's disappearance had something to do with this fox, it seems that we have to think of a way to deal with it." ”

Jun Bo frowned, "The only way at the moment is to go to the mountain in person." ”
