Chapter Eighty-Four: The Fox
The sun shines warmly on the leaves, passing through the leaves, showing dappled shadows on the ground. Occasionally, when an autumn breeze blows, they make a rustling sound.
Su Changqing walked slowly on the trail with his hands behind his back, and occasionally heard the sound of spring water in his ears.
The leaves followed him, holding their heads up to enjoy the rare warm autumn sun.
The path was full of dusky leaves, and Su Changqing's feet stepped on it gently, and it made a creaking sound.
It's a good day.
He walked briskly, feeling more relaxed than ever.
The leaves were blown by the wind and swirled in mid-air, and the road was filled with rattling sounds, as if singing unknown songs.
Su Changqing walked forward step by step with a satisfied smile on his face, basking in the slightly warm sun.
He squinted, and suddenly he saw a fiery red not far in front of him.
This red is like blood, and red is like the sun in the sky.
Suddenly, before he could react, the leaves behind him suddenly began to stop in front of him, barking viciously at the red dog, vicious and at the same time, there was also lingering terror.
The thing seemed to sense the frightening of the leaves, turned back to him and gave him an anthropomorphic smile, then flicked its tail and leaped up the hillside, quickly disappearing.
It's a ...... Fox?
When Su Changqing turned his head in that red, he had already recognized the species of this thing.
It just made him curious, how could there be a fox here?
He thought back to the fox's sly smile just now, and felt that it was like a person smiling at them.
It can't be a fox who has become a spirit, right?
Su Changqing didn't know why, but suddenly thought of the strange stories often told by storytellers surnamed Liu in the teahouse, and this idea unconsciously appeared in his mind.
It's just that the red fox has already disappeared without a trace, and Su Changqing naturally can't catch up with him.
The leaves seemed to be relieved when they saw the fox go away, and the original grinning and vicious face suddenly changed back again, and he followed Su Changqing slowly behind him on the path again.
Su Changqing stopped his steps, rubbed the leafy head, and picked him up from the ground again.
The big white dog seemed to be frightened by the sudden hug, looked at Su Changqing with wide eyes, and suddenly stretched out his tongue and licked his face.
Su Changqing rubbed his head, thinking that he was so cute no matter how he looked at it.
Putting down the leaves with a smile on his face, Su Changqing forgot about the strange fox and walked leisurely in front alone.
It was already time for the sun to set, and he looked at the bloody remnant sun, as if he was in a daze.
After eating, it is natural to take a walk, otherwise you will have indigestion.
Su Changqing picked a banyan leaf and looked at the beautiful green leaf as if he was stunned.
My father used to use this leaf to play tunes.
He was a little clumsy and lightly placed the leaf on the lower part of his lips, blowing a little rustily.
Because it hadn't been blown for many years, Su Changqing couldn't even make a clear sound, and could only hear the hindered "beep" sound of the wind blowing the leaves.
The leaves crouched at his feet, looking at him with some curiosity, as if they didn't understand what he was going to do.
Su Changqing was a little sour when he blew his cheeks, he sighed secretly, put down the leaves, and continued to walk forward with the leaves in his hands.

"Evergreen. The young father stood under the big banyan tree in the yard and looked at the young Su Changqing with a smile.
He gently took the emerald green leaf in his hand and smiled at him.
"Do you want to blow it?"
"Yes. ”
Su Changqing looked at him with clear eyes, after all, it was still very powerful to be able to blow a tune with a leaf or something.
He picked a banyan leaf again and handed it to Su Changqing, slowly explaining the skill of blowing leaves.
"The upper part of the leaf clings to the inner lip line of the lip......"
His voice is clean and soft, and he is still holding a banyan leaf in his hand and constantly demonstrating.
Su Changqing dragged his cheeks and looked at him, and his eyes suddenly turned to his smiling mother who was sitting in a chair next to him.
"See what I'm doing?"
She gently patted Su Changqing's head with her hand, and the happy smile on her face couldn't be concealed.
At this time, the sound of the leaves being blown was heard in moderation.
The sound was crisp and pleasant, as if a trickle of water was flowing down, as if it were a world away.
He was immediately engrossed.
......

On the path covered with fallen leaves, Su Changqing closed his eyes slightly, holding the leaves of the big banyan tree in his hand, blowing gently.
Perhaps thinking back to the knowledge taught by his father before, Su Changqing looked back hard, and unconsciously, he blew the sound of a musical note.
Blow it out.
Su Changqing looked at the banyan leaf with some curiosity and put it on his lips again.
The leaves were gently blown, and the leaves made a trembling sound, and occasionally a few dissonant sounds could be heard.
Su Changqing was a little bored, and threw the leaves on the path again.
The soles of the leaves have thick pads, but they can still make a creaking sound when they step on the dead leaves, as if they are learning from Su Changqing, and they are also playing tunes with the leaves.
Su Changqing rubbed his stomach, looked at the sun that was about to sink into the horizon, felt the somewhat dim sky and the slightly cool autumn breeze, and didn't want to go any further, so he returned home with the leaves.
After returning home again, it was already completely dark, Su Changqing looked at the dark door in front of him, found the key from his pocket, and opened the door. Su Changqing stepped into the threshold with one foot, and suddenly, he felt that his feet were stepping on something, soft.
This is followed by the cat's shrill meow, which is particularly poignant here.
"Meow!"
Su Changqing hurriedly looked at his feet, and saw a pair of yellow and shiny eyes glaring at him viciously.
Then, a small black mass lunged at him.
It turns out that I just stepped on this little guy!
Su Changqing hurriedly hugged her into his arms as if apologetically, he touched the soft head of the black cat, and walked into the room with her.
Su Changqing rubbed her whole body, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after not realizing that her bones were misplaced, and patted the dirty hair that he had stepped on with his hand.
The leaves were smiling beside him, and his sharp mouth opened into a big grin. This made the little black cat so angry that he hurriedly jumped out of Su Changqing's arms and slapped him in the face of the leaves.
