Chapter 009: Silver Fox (4)

On the day the old man buried the child, who was just one year old, he thought that all the curses and nightmares were over, and before going to bed, he drank two glasses.

Just after midnight, he heard a knock at the door.

He rubbed his eyes and walked to the door and saw a fox holding a lantern. The fox stood in front of the door, just like a man. He looked at the old man with a pair of smiling eyes, and beckoned at him with his empty paw. The old man was like he had fallen into an evil spirit, and he could only follow the fox and move forward step by step.

They walked through villages, through snow-covered fields, and stopped at the door of a family's house.

The fox stuck the lantern in the crack in the wall, raised his paw and knocked on the door, and in a few moments a woman came out. Like the old man, she was also fascinated by the fox, but the old man could still think, and the woman was completely a "walking corpse".

The fox led the old man into the room and blew a cigarette at the little girl lying in the cradle, and the little girl had a silver fox mark behind her ear. The old man wanted to tell the fox that his son was dead, and even if the fox found the baby girl, there would be no such thing as marriage. But his throat seemed to be stuck to something, and he couldn't make a sound at all.

When the old man woke up again, it was already the next morning, and according to the rules left by his ancestors, he should prepare a generous gift and take his son to the baby girl's house to propose. But he didn't go, he wanted to see what else the fox could do.

Three days later, when his nephew was born, and his younger brother came home with a pair of red eyes, he realized then that everything was in the fox fairy's calculations. He took his nephew to the Fox Immortal Temple, and went to the baby's house to propose marriage according to the instructions of the ancestors, but the baby's parents told him that they had promised their daughter to another family, and the dowry was a bag of grain.

"Who is that baby girl?" Liu Hanshan thought of Granny Cai's daughter-in-law, Xiaojuan.

"Her name is Xiaojuan, and she is married to another family in our village." The old man said: "That child's name is Cai Yong, and I grew up watching him when he was a child." ”

As he spoke, the old man showed a wry smile: "The fox fairy did it on purpose. ”

"Who are you and Cai Yong's mother?"

"She is the woman I love most in my life." The old man fumbled and took out a comb: "I grew up with her, but my mother looked down on her, thinking that she was short and thin. I couldn't resist my mother, so I married my wife. When she saw that I was guilty, she hated me and deliberately married another family in the same village. On the day my son left, she came to my door with her stomach up and laughed at me, but she didn't know that I would prefer her to live better than me. ”

Knowing that Xiaojuan's fiancΓ© was Cai Yong, the old man tried his best to prevent the marriage, but the more he prevented, the more determined Cai Yong's mother became. At the Peach Blossom Festival a year ago, my nephew met Xiaojuan and fell in love with her at first sight. He knew that this was the fox fairy's spell, and no matter how he tried to stop it, the three of them would come together.

The nephew expressed his affection to Xiaojuan, but Xiaojuan sneered at him, and in order to avoid his entanglement, Xiaojuan simply became close to Cai Yong. When the nephew heard that Xiaojuan was married to Cai Yong, he didn't think about it, and it didn't take long for him to fall ill.

"I've seen Granny Cai's paper." Qin Ye said: "According to Granny Cai's description, not long after her son and daughter-in-law got married, thieves began to make trouble in the village. One night, Granny Cai couldn't sleep because of the crickets, so she wanted to walk in the yard. As soon as he opened the door, he saw something lying outside the window of his son and daughter-in-law. Through the hazy moonlight outside, Granny Cai saw the face of a fox, but strangely, the fox had a human body. Granny Cai thought she was dazzled, so she rubbed her eyes, and when she looked at it again, the thing was gone. ”

Qin Ye paced in the ancestral hall, "Because the incident happened suddenly, and she only saw it once, Granny Cai didn't take it to heart until she heard the contents of the bloody letter left by her daughter-in-law Xiaojuan from the husband who wrote the letter. ”

"What blood book?" Nan Jinyi asked puzzled.

"Just what Granny Cai's daughter-in-law Xiaojuan left before she died." Qin Ye stabbed Liu Hanshan with his arm, and Liu Hanshan reluctantly handed Granny Cai's paper to Nan Jinyi along with the blood book.

According to Xiaojuan's description, it was not the first time that she and her husband Cai Yong had been peeked at by the monster, as early as the night they got married, they had seen the shadow of the monster in the window. Because Granny Cai was old, they didn't want Granny Cai to worry, so they didn't tell her about it.

Xiaojuan wrote in the blood book that she knew the man, who was the son of the village chief and had pestered Cai Yong many times behind his back. After her husband Cai Yong learns the truth, he decides to teach the monster a lesson. He first took advantage of the anger of the villagers after throwing things to make the whole thing bigger, and then forced the village chief to organize the villagers to catch the thieves. According to Cai Yong's plan, he would lead the villagers in the same group as him to block the monster in a villager's house, and wait for the big guys to see his appearance clearly, and then send him to the village chief's house and ask the village chief to strictly control him.

But Cai Yong underestimated the complexity of the whole thing, he thought that he was going to deal with the village chief's son, as long as the village chief took care of his son. But in the eyes of others, he is challenging the authority of the fox fairy and causing the entire Caijiazhuang to die. They were afraid of the fox fairy, and they were worried that the fox fairy would be angry with them, so they sent Cai Yong away.

After Cai Yong's death, the village chief asked the matchmaker to go to Xiaojuan's house to propose marriage, hoping that Xiaojuan could marry his son according to the arrangement of the fox fairy. Only when the fox girl marries the descendants of the fox fairy can greater troubles be avoided and the entire Caijiazhuang can be restored to its former tranquility and peace. Xiaojuan was unwilling, so the village chief threatened her parents, in order not to affect her father, Xiaojuan could only choose the last way.

At the end of the bloody book, Xiaojuan wrote: "Remind the villagers to be careful of the village chief and his son. ”

As soon as Qin Ye's words fell, Liu Hanshan stood up vigilantly. With the neighing of the horses, the footsteps came from far and near, and finally stopped above their heads. Nan Jinyi gave Qin Ye a look and asked him to take a look in the courtyard, but before Qin Ye moved, the tiles on the roof fell. Immediately after, two monsters jumped off the broken roof. One has the head of a fox and the other has the body of a fox.

"The village chief?" Qin Ye recognized the man with the fox body: "He...... How did he become like this? ”

"Be careful!" Nan Jinyi stopped Qin Ye, who was about to walk over, and motioned him to look at the man with the fox head: "Look at his neck!" ”

His gaze went down from his face to his neck, and he realized that his fox head seemed to grow out of his neck.
