Chapter 8 Looking Back on the Past
She was originally an ordinary white fox, with no name or surname, no father and no mother, living in the Bailing Mountains fifty miles southeast of Qiancheng County, where the roads are difficult and dangerous, the rocky peaks are craggy, the human track is small and wild beasts are rampant.

One day, the little white fox found a peculiar plant in a cliff, with no flowers on one branch, four leaves open, and a small red fruit at the top, crystal clear, which seemed to have infinite attraction to her. Tempted, she climbed up to pick despite the danger. After failing again and again, she finally picked the fruit with amazing perseverance. Now that he has succeeded, the little white fox can't wait to swallow it, and then a burst of white gas emanates from his body, and another tail grows out, and there is something unclear in his ignorant mind, and the original wild eyes have also become full of aura, containing the light of wisdom. After taking a few steps back and forth, she found that her steps were light and her body seemed to have no weight, and she happily ran through the mountains. Creeks, stone walls, and woods have left her cheerful and swift figure everywhere. On that day, she turned on her mind.
Wise beings yearn for freedom. The white fox, who has already understood a lot, is tired of the days in the mountains, and she feels that the world is so big, she should go out to see. So, relying on the spell engraved in her memory, she began her own adventure...
She has been to many places, and famous mountains, rivers, rivers and valleys have left her footprints. Eventually, there was a place that attracted her, and that was the gathering place of human beings - the existence of the "city". There she learned the language of mankind, the culture of humanity. She saw that every human being had its own name, and she was envious in her heart, and she wanted to choose one for herself. She thought that she was wandering around, so she simply took the surname "Liu", and she was a fox, so she should take the word "raccoon" by that name. "Raccoon dogs" ... If it feels weird, then use the homonym "glass" of "raccoon", which also means jade beads. "En, Liuli, Liuli! I have a name! I have a name!!" Thinking of the white fox who was satisfied, oh no, it should be called "Liuli" now, and I was overjoyed.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and a wrong decision almost buried her. It turns out that Liuli has experienced all kinds of prosperity in the world, and she has been in the dark, and she really wants to taste these openly. One day, she had just mastered her transformation and went out into the street wearing stolen clothes, which was the first time she heard humans call her "youkai". Looking at the people around her, whether frightened or angry, Liuli was confused, she didn't understand what was wrong with them. Then I saw some people screaming, rushing towards them with kitchen knives, hoes and other utensils, no matter how they explained, they didn't care. Liuli was annoyed, and with a wave of his hand, three blue fox fires burned towards everyone. The people who were shouting at first immediately hugged their heads and panicked. Liuli just wanted to scare them, and when he saw that everyone had retreated, he put away his spell.
"Evil animal, Hugh is presumptuous!" suddenly a loud shout sounded, but it was a man dressed as a soldier, holding a whisk, rushing to the scene, and without saying a word, he moved his hand to the flowing glass. Liuli was invincible, almost killed, and finally escaped by illusion. She wanted to ask those people why they were so afraid of herself, why they hated herself so much, why she was born a demon or a mistake, when she had done nothing, and if she was not of the same race, she must have different hearts? As much as she wanted to argue, the cruel truth told her that it was useless, because no one would listen to her.
After that, Liuli returned to the mountains where she was born in discouragement, and found a cave in it to meditate and cultivate. There is no time in the mountains, and half a jiazi has passed in this time. Until one night twelve years ago, an unexpected encounter changed her decades of penance.
That night, Liuli ended his daily spitting and came to the cave to admire the moon. It's her favorite activity in her free time. Looking up, the bright moon was in the sky, the idle clouds caressed, and the night air made her feel comfortable. With a light step, she walked slowly along the mountain path. It's still the same as the day before, the same spotless scenery. The corners of his eyes swept over the rocks on both sides, and Liuli was indifferent. A cry came from afar, interrupting her thoughts. Forget it, what's my business... Liuli turned a deaf ear. But the low sobbing sound was intermittent and intermittent, like drops of water falling into the atrium of the flowing glass, gently tugging at her long-sealed heartstrings. Hey, let's go check it out. Liuli, who didn't want to mix, was finally defeated by his curiosity and galloped towards the source of the sound.
Hey, it's a human baby. Liuli was surprised to find the source of the sound. I saw that the baby was placed on a pile of fallen leaves, covered with nothing, and its white and tender skin was unobstructed in the moonlight, except for the magatama pendant around its neck that was the only thing it carried. When the crying baby saw someone coming, he immediately fell silent, and then let out a crisp laugh like a silver bell, as if welcoming the visitor. Liuli frowned slightly when she saw this, her good impression of human beings had long since faded with the original incident, but she was not a cruel person by nature, she lowered her head and thought about it and made a decision, or not, this place is located on the top of the mountain, and the surrounding roads are difficult to walk, if someone puts him here, he must not be able to go far, and take him around to look for it. Liuli took the baby into her arms and circled the mountain. The little one lay obediently in her arms, not crying or making trouble, and sometimes making "giggle" laughter, but he didn't recognize life at all.
Due to the long-term unsuccessful search, the flowing glass at this moment can't help but be a little irritable. Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, who abandoned him, he must learn a good lesson when he sees it. Thinking like this, Liuli looked into his arms, and the child seemed to be tired, and had already fallen asleep, but there was still a quiet smile on his face. The serene appearance is like a pleasant silk bamboo, soothing the restless heart of Liuli. As if infected by it, a charming smile appeared at the corner of Liuli's mouth, "Little guy, you are sleeping well, but you are bitter sister and me." After saying that, he expanded the scope and searched again.
A night of time passed, but there was no progress, not to mention people nearby, not even a ghost. Seeing that it is about to dawn, Liuli has made a difficulty. She looked around, then at the sleeping baby, and in her mind there was a battle between heaven and man: Do you want to put him back where he was? No, no, wouldn't he be waiting to die? Raise it yourself, uh, forget it. What should I do? God, why am I going to encounter such a thing, can I ask for help or something from the sidelines... Inadvertently, Liuli didn't realize that his emotional ups and downs that night were more than in those thirty years of cultivation combined.
After thinking about it for a long time, she had a solution, which was to return the human child to the human race to raise by herself. In other words, give him to someone else. Being able to come up with such a brilliant idea, Liuli immediately felt that his IQ was on the line. Thinking of this, she ran to Qiancheng County, fifty miles away. As for why she chose there, it was because she was not at ease with the villages with few people, and the towns with many people might be surveyed by themselves, but Qiancheng County was in between, which happened to be suitable.
Seeing the smoke curling not far away, Liuli looked at the baby in his arms, the child was already covered with a layer of animal skin at this time, but Liuli was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he added it. "Little one, it's time to separate. "A night of getting along, so that the glass at the moment is a little reluctant, "In the future, you have to be good, don't be like those people, shouting and killing monsters all day long." You know, your life was saved by my sister, and I'm a fox demon, so this demon is also a good demon, and you can't kill a boatload of demons with a stick..." As if being woken up, the little guy's fleshy tender hands rubbed his little eyes, opened his eyes, looked at the flowing glass in front of him, and laughed again.
"Still laughing, conscienceless imp. My sister will send you out later. Liuli glared and frightened.
As if he understood Liuli's words, the baby's face immediately changed, and he turned from laughing to crying. made her a head and two big, and she tried her best to appease him, at least she didn't expect that fox fire could be used to coax children.
Standing in a hidden place, holding a little ancestor in his arms, Liuli observed back and forth, and finally selected a family in the north of the county, there are not many people in that place, and there are no children in that household, which is very suitable. Cast a transfiguration spell on herself, and in the middle of the scene, a five or six-year-old girl with a baby in her arms appeared. The little guy in his arms seemed to be very interested in this big change, and his little hands waved wildly, touching and touching. "Little Ancestor, don't make trouble. Liuli slapped his hand away, but he didn't expect the little guy to make a fuss again. Helpless, she could only make another trick, a "fox fire", three clusters of flames appeared in front of the baby's eyes, and rotated regularly. Every time the little one tried to touch it, the flames avoided him as if they were alive. Sure enough, the little one was successfully distracted.
After a while, when the baby was tired of playing, Liuli put away the spell. The thought of the imminent separation made her feel more and more uncomfortable. This little guy really added a lot of color to her ordinary life, although it was troublesome, but this feeling of being accompanied by people made her linger. Shaking his head, he eliminated the superfluous thoughts, and walked towards the chosen home with the baby in his arms.
"Yo, whose girl and child are these, they look really smart. The woman, who was busy working in the vegetable patch, asked when she noticed the two children outside the fence of her house.
"We are the children of your distant relatives, and our parents have come to you after the death of our parents, so let us go into the house. ”
After hearing Liuli's words, the woman, who was a little surprised at first, seemed to be enchanted, and repeated the words in her mouth while leading the two into the house.
After the door closed, Liuli continued to perform hypnosis, "Now you have to raise him as your own child." ”
"I'm going to raise him as my own child. The woman stared blankly at the baby in Liuli's arms, a look of love on her face.
"Huh~~~" Seeing that the spell was successful, Liuli took a long breath, handed the baby into the woman's hands, and finally looked back as if nostalgic, and then resolutely prepared to turn around and leave. That's good, that's good, little guy, you're a human, I'm a demon, go your own way.
The little guy in his arms was a little puzzled and tilted his head, but when he saw the back of Liuli moving away, he cried "wow", and he didn't know what he was talking about.
Liuli's footsteps paused, and then continued on his way. A short distance, but let her go for a long time. Is it hesitation? Is it reluctance? She doesn't understand and doesn't want to understand, she only knows that if she stays a little longer, she won't be able to go back, because then her heart won't allow it.
"Knot... Suddenly, the slurred words were like a thunderclap, shaking the glass's ears, and two lines of tears slipped down his cheeks. Yes, why bother to be so stubborn, isn't it good to act rashly once? She figured it out and decided not to leave, and she would be willful for a while, and be the child's sister. Liuli ran to the woman's side, hugged the baby back, and scolded with a smile: "You cried and begged me to be your sister, and you will listen to your sister in the future, you know?"
Venting his emotions, Liuli lifted the little guy high, looked left and right, nodded slightly, and then said: "Since you are my brother, you must have a name." Well, follow my surname 'Liu', take the word 'cloud' in your name, you are like a cloud in the sky, coming and going without a trace. Liuyun, Liuyun, my sister's name is good. Hearing this, the little guy let out a crisp laugh, as if he really understood. A smile also appeared on Liuli's face.
On that day, Liuyun had a sister, and Liuli also had a younger brother.
