At midnight, a ladybug flew into Chen Qingtang's ear and whispered, "Chief, that fox demon has climbed over the high wall and entered the courtyard. ”

Chen Qingtang woke up from his dream, and ladybugs and fireflies reported the news one after another.

"The chief of the report, the demon fox has turned into a human, and found the roast chicken in the corner, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, circled around the roast chicken twice, and finally did not touch it. ”

Chen Qingtang nodded and said, "Caution should be. ”

A firefly came to report: "Report to the chief, the fox demon has already entered the house, and bowed to the statue of Zhong Kui three times, she found the roast chicken in front of the statue, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and finally did not move." ”

Chen Qingtang nodded and said, "Being in awe is not hopeless. ”

A ladybug came to report: "Dao Chief, that demon fox sneaked into the chamber, cried for a while, and was about to leave." ”

A firefly continued: "Chief, the fox demon sneaked into the room of Lin Yiming and his wife in search of the fragrance and found the roast chicken. She circled around the roast chicken three times, and finally didn't hold back and ate a chicken leg. ”

Chen Qingtang smiled: "I was recruited." With that, he got up and walked out of the study and went straight to the main room. After knocking on the door for a while, I heard a woman's exclamation from the house: "What a big fox." ”

Chen Qingtang stood at the door, knocked on the door and said, "Childe open the door." After a moment, Lin Yiming dressed neatly and opened the door.

Chen Qingtang looked sideways behind Lin Yiming, and saw that his wife Zhou was already dressed and standing in the room. Arch your hands and step into the room.

I saw a fox the size of a lamb slumped to the ground, foaming at the mouth, unconscious.

Chen Qingtang took out a piece of cow tendon rope from his sleeve and tied it around the fox's neck, and the other end of the rope was tied to the leg of the bed.

A scoop of cold water splashed down, the fox was excited, woke up from the dream, found the cow tendon rope around his neck, inevitably struggled, after a while, realized that the struggle was just in vain, it was no longer in vain, a pair of frightened eyes looked at Chen Qingtang and the Lin family couple.

Chen Qingtang sat on the wooden chair and asked lightly: "Tell me yourself, why did you sneak into the forest mansion several times?"

The fox hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Returning to the Taoist Chief, I have no intention of hurting people, and I sneaked into the forest house several times, just to worship my mother. ”

"That's nonsense. Lin Yiming said angrily: "How can I have your mother in my family." ”

The fox burst into tears for a while, and said in a choked voice, "Yes." ”

Chen Qingtang got up and whispered a few words in Lin Yiming's ear, Lin Yiming's face changed, he hesitated for a while, walked to the wing, took a fox fur coat, and asked with a little shame: "This ...... Your mother?"

When the fox saw the fox fur coat, he burst into tears and wept, "It is my mother." ”

The Lin couple glanced at each other and were speechless for a while.

Chen Qingtang observed his words and asked tentatively: 'Dare to ask Gongzi, how to deal with this fox demon?'

Lin Yiming was speechless for a while. Zhou asked in a trembling voice, "Dare to ask Dao Chief, how to completely end this matter." If you kill this fox, will there be endless trouble?"

Chen Qingtang smiled slightly and said, "The eldest lady got this fox fur coat, and her own daughter came to the house every night to make trouble. If he kills his daughter again, I don't know how many foxes and foxes will come to disturb the house. ”

Lin Yiming heard this and asked, "Dare to ask Dao Chief, how to deal with this matter in order to resolve this grievance?"

Chen Qingtang twisted his beard and said with a smile: "According to the humble opinion of the poor, the eldest lady is from a big family, this fox fur coat, more than it, less of it, it is better to be compassionate, sell it a favor, and return the fox skin to her." I don't know what the big lady thinks?"

When Zhou heard this, he sneered and said: "This dress was originally purchased from a hunter for thirty taels of silver, and brought to her mother-in-law's house as a dowry. When I saw this fox fur coat, I was scared, let alone wearing it. Since Grandma Linghu came to the door, she returned it quickly, and I hope that Grandma Linghu has a large number of adults, and she is not as knowledgeable as ordinary people like us. Don't hold grudges. ”

After that, he gave his husband a look, Lin Yiming understood, holding the fox fur coat in both hands, and placed it respectfully in front of the fox.

Chen Qingtang pulled it casually and tore off the cow tendon on the fox's neck. The fox turned into a maiden, took up the fox fur coat in both hands, and said with tears streaming down her face, "Mother, mother, let's go home." ”

Chen Qingtang waved his hand at the girl and said, "You come to the courtyard with the poor road, and the poor road has two words to ask you." ”
