Trick Seventy-Six: The Fox of the Five Immortals

Ten foxes and nine calamities, just because the fox is cunning and scheming, and has the ability to charm, most of the images shown in front of the world are bewitching women. In fact, the Hu family, as the head of the five immortals, is the righteous god acquiesced by Taoism.

Fox cultivation for fifty years, that is, can transform into a human, a hundred years can be no different from a real person, and in terms of physical appearance than ordinary people, it is called a god and witch. Can know the size of things for thousands of miles, good at charming, can make people blind and demented, such as cultivating a thousand years old can be connected with the sky, this is the sky fox. The fox had the largest and widest range of influence in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, and in its heyday, it could be ranked side by side with the dragon, the unicorn, and the phoenix as the four major auspicious stars.

There is a family surnamed Tang in Lijia Village, and the pillar of the family, the old man of Tang, is honest and duty-bound, and he is a diligent old farmer. Status in the countryside is determined by the size of the family, which can also be directly said to be the number of boys. But Tang Laohan didn't have a son, and he gave birth to five daughters in a row, so it was logical that he became the target of ridicule and bullying by other people in the village.

Despite this, Mr. and Mrs. Tang still love their five daughters very much, and they do their best to care for each daughter. Helplessly, his family was poor, and Tang Laohan couldn't afford to let all five daughters go to school, so he had to let the youngest fourth and fifth daughters go.

With the passage of time, several years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the first three daughters got married and left home early, which made the pressure on Tang Laohan's shoulders much less. In order to live a happy life in the future, Tang Laohan and his family reclaimed another piece of land on the mountain behind the village and planted some peanuts and sweet potatoes to increase their income.

On this day, Tang Laohan went to the field early in the morning with a hoe, and the sweet potatoes could be harvested in a few days, so he was almost soaked in the mountains these days. Soon, Tang Laohan came to the peanut field, and he checked the growth little by little along the ridge, and just when he was about to finish the inspection, in a bush two steps away from him, a red thing caught his attention.

There is also a piece of land around his house, so the surrounding environment is very familiar, and there is such a conspicuous thing in the cold, Tang Laohan was surprised. He leaned over and looked closer, and was taken aback at the sight of a fox the size of a dog. Although the vegetation on this mountain is abundant, it is very rare to meet such a large wild fox in this year.

The fox was lying in the grass, his tail was exposed, his head and body were covered by grass, Tang Laohan saw that the fox did not run, he thought it was dead, so he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to remove the grass to check. When the grass was removed, I saw the fox with his mouth wide open, his tongue stretched out, and one eye still squinting at the old man Tang who was pushing away the grass.

At the moment of looking at each other, from the fox's eyes, Tang Laohan actually felt a trace of pleading, he did not hesitate, and quickly carried the fox to the pergola built on the ground. As soon as it was put away, the fox twitched on the ground, foaming at the mouth with white foam, and Tang Laohan immediately judged that the fox should be poisoned. There are many superstitions in the countryside, especially when he encounters this mysterious and spiritual fox, after thinking for a while, Tang Laohan decided to use local methods to save this fox.

Soon, Tang Laohan picked some sweet potato leaves, kneaded them into a ball with his hands, put them into the kettle he brought, and finally shook them vigorously. After waiting for a while, he poured the pot of water into the fox's mouth, and the fox, who had drunk the full pot of water, had another spasm, and then vomited in a big gulp. Fifteen minutes later, the fox's breathing gradually stabilized, and he fell into a deep sleep, Tang Laohan found hay and dried leaves from the nearby forest, laid a simple nest for the fox, and then went to work after it was settled.

At the end of the day's work, Tang Laohan went to the shed to look at the fox, and found that it was still sleeping, and after leaving some water and food, Tang Laohan carried the hoe home. As soon as he got home, he told his wife what he had encountered today, and his wife, who was cooking, only had one ear in and one ear out, and he didn't believe Tang Laohan's words at all.

"Mmmm, you'd better drink less, otherwise you might encounter something when you go to the ground tomorrow~"

The wife was a little impatient when she heard this, and she replied loudly, seeing this scene, Tang Laohan was also a little anxious, and he raised his voice.

"You, if you don't believe it, Ming'er will go up to the field with me early in the morning to take a look, if this thing is fake, I will quit drinking!"

Listening to Tang Laohan's stern promise, his wife was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, if this matter is true, it can be regarded as a long experience, and if it is fake, it can make the old man quit drinking, and he will not suffer a loss from both times, so he agreed to come down.

After a night without words, it was the same time, Tang Laohan took his wife to the field. The old man Tang who walked in front kept chattering, how to find the fox, how to save it, and some strange things about the fox, listening to his wife shaking his head helplessly. Looking at the state of the old man in front of him, his wife still muttered in her heart, wondering if her old man was fascinated by ghosts.

The two quickly walked to the field, Tang Laohan rushed to the shed first, turned his head and urged his wife to hurry up, and after Tang Laohan got into the shed, there was no movement. Seeing this, my wife hurriedly walked to the door of the shed, and looked inside, there was no shadow of a fox in the shed, and Tang Laohan was also stunned and stayed aside.

"Haha~ Old man, I see that you are dreaming, and you haven't woken up from your dream yet."

The wife was the first to break the calm, and Tang Laohan came back to his senses, touching his head at a loss, and muttering in his mouth.

"Impossible, impossible, I put it here yesterday, is it, did it go last night? It's not right, it's impossible to get better so quickly if the poisoning is so deep~"

Tang Laohan's head was about to explode, and he didn't figure out the reason, and finally under the reminder of his wife, he reacted and followed his wife back to work in the fields. It's strange to know this, the scene of rescuing the fox yesterday is still vivid, but today there is no trace at all, is it really a dream of Nanke.

After a few days, the harvest of sweet potatoes made Tang Laohan smile every day, and everyone was smiling. In the evening of that day, Tang Laohan loaded the last wave of sweet potatoes left in the field into the car, and then pushed the cart and walked home. The cart full of sweet potatoes made Tang Laohan very careful, and he was careful along the way, the road surface was not wide, and the tall grass and woods on both sides grew very lushly.

As he walked, Tang Laohan suddenly saw a man in a robe squatting on the side of the road not far away, and just when he was puzzled, the squatting man spoke.

"What do you think of me, old man?"

This sound made Tang Laohan feel extremely familiar, but he was not very sure of the guess in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he spoke up.

"Old woman, where did you get the robe?"

As soon as these words came out, I saw the person in the robe in front of him slowly stand up, then turned around and walked over with a smile, Tang Laohan looked at it, and sure enough, it was his wife, he was in a good mood these days, he didn't think much about it, and said with a smile.

"Haha~ pretending to be a ghost, this is the last car, it's loaded a lot, go to the back and push the cart for me."

The wife didn't answer and walked straight to the back of the car, Tang Laohan didn't say anything more, and pushed his car seriously. Just when he walked down the mountain, Tang Laohan saw another figure in front of him, and when the figure approached, it was actually his wife, then he was stunned, turned his head to look at the back of the car, but there was half a figure behind. Faced with Tang Laohan's strange behavior, his wife was also puzzled and asked.

"What's wrong? What are you looking for? ”

"Ah, didn't you just come too? When did you run ahead of me again? ”

Tang Laohan was a little incoherent, and his wife was also in a fog, so Tang Laohan told the strange thing he had just met her again, and after listening to it, his wife laughed, and then pointed at Tang Laohan and smiled.

"I see you're tired, so let's do it, I'll cook a few more dishes tonight, and allow you to drink less."

Hearing this, although Tang Laohan felt strange in his heart, he was helpless, so he could only think that he was dazzled and mistaken, so he followed his wife and the two to push the car home.

Time flies, and a few years have passed, the fourth and fifth children of the Tang family have also grown up, and the fourth child dropped out of school to work after graduating from junior high school, and it didn't take long for him to get married and leave. Only the youngest child studied hard, and with great energy, he was admitted to the university in the city and walked out of the village, and the family was very happy about this, and held a banquet in the village.

As the saying goes, blessing and misfortune do not go alone, and in the summer vacation of the second year of the fifth year, disaster came. Mr. Tang's village is located in a remote location, and it is necessary to walk, then take a car, then change buses again to get from his home to school, and finally take the train to reach his destination. This misfortune came out on the way home during the winter vacation, and the original happy trip home, but something happened to him, causing his fate to change.

The fifth child is not only successful in his studies, but also has a beautiful face and outstanding figure, and he has a high return rate when he walks on the road. After Lao Wu got off the train and got on the first bus, she found that a man in the car was looking at her from the moment he got on the train, his eyes were staring, there were not many people on the car, so she chose to sit down in the front row far away from the man.

When the car reached the end, the fifth child got out of the car and changed cars as soon as possible, wanting to get rid of the man's unkind gaze as soon as possible. After finding the car to take, she hurriedly went up to find a place to sit down, there were many people on this bus, and the seats were almost full, but there was no one sitting on the side of the old five. Just when the car was about to start, another person hurriedly ran up, and the fifth child took a look and found that it was the man who had been staring at him on the previous bus.

Coincidentally, there was only one vacant seat left in the car, and the man sat next to the fifth child naturally. People are unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, and the fifth child can only turn his head to the window, pretending not to see, and the man after sitting down is silent, just sitting quietly. After a long while, the fifth child didn't see the man do anything bad, so he wanted to turn his head to take a look, but he didn't want the man to find out.

At this moment, Lao Wu saw through the reflection of the window glass that the man was staring at him with a strange smile. Lao Wu stood up with an exclamation, attracting the surrounding passengers to look sideways, and Lao Wu just wanted to scold and look at the man again, who was sleeping there.

Lao Wu rubbed her eyes, the man still didn't wake up, so she had to sit back. The car shook and arrived at the station, Lao Wu jumped out of the car and rushed home, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and she didn't dare to stop, just lowered her head and walked forward. When she was about to reach the entrance of the village, she breathed a sigh of relief, as soon as the fifth child wanted to slow down, she felt like someone was watching her behind her, and when she turned around, she saw that the man in the car was staring at her.

After returning home, Lao Wu fell ill that night, first had a high fever that did not go away, and then began to talk nonsense, Tang Laohan was very anxious but helpless. The days of winter vacation have passed day by day, and the condition of the fifth child has not improved, and if this continues, the university that he has worked so hard to get admitted to will be burned.

At midnight that night, Tang Laohan got up and went to the toilet in the yard, and when he just walked into the yard, a woman's voice suddenly came from his ears.

"Benefactor, benefactor~"

Tang Laohan looked for a sound, there was a big fox lying in the middle of the courtyard, he took two steps back in fright, looked at the fox in front of him in horror, and didn't dare to make a sound, at this time only heard the fox continue to speak.

"Benefactor, my mana is about to run out, to make a long story short, I am the fox you saved a few years ago, and then I have your help to become enlightened, a few days ago I counted an old pervert entangled with your fifth child, and I am here to repay my kindness. I didn't expect the pervert to cultivate deeply, I tried my best to kill it, your fifth was hooked by the pervert to a soul, I just need a place to cultivate, now I want to borrow your fifth body, wait for me to recover, so help the fifth to find that soul. ”

Tang Laohan listened to the clouds and sat down on the ground, and the fox shook his head when he saw this, and said again.

"Time is running out, I want to be your daughter for a while to repay the favor, and I'll talk about it slowly in the future."

After speaking, he saw the fox blowing lightly on Tang Laohan, and he fainted, until he woke up from bed the next day, Tang Laohan let out a sigh, it turned out to be a dream, but at this moment, he suddenly saw his own fifth child who was washing in the yard.

Since then, Tang Laohan has not mentioned this dream-like experience to anyone, and the Tang family's fifth illness has suddenly improved, but it is unknown whether the fifth person is a human or a fox at this time.
