Volume 1 Wisdom Fighting the Capital Chapter 7, The White Fox
The next day, after the rooster crowed, the sky was bright, and Xu Wuzhi woke up leisurely on the Yellow Crane Mountain. While touching his aching back, he thought about the incident he had experienced last night, and suddenly found a person lying beside him.
The man was about sixteen years old, very fat, but his face was quite handsome. A Chinese face, two attractive ears, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, a lion nose and a wide mouth, a face like a full moon, eyes like a star, and a very heroic appearance, but there is always some look of grace in the appearance of the heroic. At the moment, his hair was unkempt, his face was full of obscenity, and his round belly was topped with a tattered shirt, which looked even more ridiculous.
Seeing Xu Wuxian get up, the fat young man also rolled over and got up, and said humbly:
"Big brother, are you awake?"
Xu Wuxi: "Big brother, who is your big brother?"
Fat boy: "You, you are my big brother." ”
Xu Wuxian couldn't cry or laugh, and he was not in a hurry to defend himself at the moment, he turned around and looked around, and saw that there were only the two of them on the huge Lingxian platform, and couldn't help asking:
"What about Fang Wenzhao?"
Fat boy: "You're talking about the old man?"
Xu Wuxi: "Exactly, where is he?"
Fat teenager: "I ate it." ”
Xu Wuxian couldn't help but wonder: "You ate him, then who are you? Are you a monster?"
The fat boy also smiled innocently: "Yes, I am the pig demon." ”
Xu Wuxian couldn't help laughing, thinking that out of nowhere, a young man with a good head came from, most of them were a little mentally retarded, maybe they were the same as me, he was an orphan since he was a child, helpless, begging everywhere, and he happened to sleep here at night.
As soon as he thought of his life experience, Wuxian and the young man couldn't help but feel that "they are both fallen people at the end of the world", only to feel that the young man was his former self, and he was no longer annoyed with him talking nonsense, but patted the young man's shoulder, and said warmly:
"Okay! You said you ate it, you ate it. But you've got to tell me what's your name, and where are you from?"
The fat boy scratched his head and pouted:
"I don't know what my name is? You have to ask me where I'm from, I ...... I guess I came from heaven. With that, the fat boy pointed to the sky above him, indicating that he might have come from there.
Xu Wuxian smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that the young man was really sick, and he actually forgot all the things in the past, most likely because he had a serious illness when he was a child, and God was fortunate to be able to live to this day, and now that he was encountered, he naturally couldn't let it go.
So, he took the young man with him, and first went down the mountain to look for Wang Meng, but after looking for a long time, he still couldn't find Wang Meng's body.
No illness was compassionate: "Last night, Brother Wang fought viciously with that Fang Wenzhao. I obviously saw Brother Wang fall off a high cliff with a huge injury, most of his life was in danger, and now he can't even find a corpse, is it really in the mouth of those vicious dogs and wolves?"
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth with hatred: "Fang Wenzhao, this dog thief! I will definitely avenge Brother Wang in the coming day, so that you will die without a place to be buried!"
Thinking of being sick here, he suddenly realized that it was really not suitable to stay here for a long time, and there were many people in Fangfu, maybe the chasing soldiers would be there in a moment. At that moment, he didn't say more, and took the fat boy and hurried north.
He had no money to buy a horse or hire a carriage, so he had to drive his legs with the young man and run all the way. At first, he was worried that the young man was too fat to run for a long time, but unexpectedly, the young man had no end of strength and kept following him closely, and he didn't hear the slightest wheezing.
The two of them hurried from morning to noon, and walked more than a hundred miles north, and had reached the boundary of Yunzhou Mansion. Autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is still very hot, the scorching sun casts a dazzling white light in the clouds, there is no wind in the wilderness, and the heat wave hits one after another. At this time, the absence of disease is already sweating like rain, hungry and thirsty. The fat boy suddenly stopped and sat down on the side of the road.
Wuzhi asked, "What's wrong?
The young man: "I can walk, but I'm hungry!"
No disease: "You have to go hungry"
Boy: "I don't want to move anything when I'm hungry!"
No disease: "There is no village in front of here, there is no store in the back, where can I get you food?"
The boy said, "I don't care, I don't care! I'm hungry anyway!"
There is no way to be sick, so I have to comfort me gently: "Good brother, there is a small shop less than five miles ahead, I'll take you to eat when I get there, okay?"
The boy nodded frequently: "Uh-huh!
In fact, he didn't know where there was a store in front of him, but he was forced by the young man to be unable at the moment, so he had to make this decision. In ancient times, there was "Wangmei quenching thirst", and now there is no disease, and I have to use a trick to "fill the hunger of the store".
The two of them walked for a while under the scorching sun on their heads, and the fat boy suddenly shouted, and ran forward with all his strength. Twenty zhang away, there was indeed a shop on the side of the road, and a large tea flag was hanging diagonally on it.
Three steps and two steps without disease, before people enter the store, they hear the noise in the store, it turns out that the fat boy walked into the store, hungry and thirsty, saw some refreshments on the table, no matter which table of guests, picked up the tea and snacks and stuffed them into his mouth. The shopkeeper stepped forward to stop him, but he pushed him away. With a slight push, the boy knocked the shopkeeper to the ground, knocking over two tables next to him. The shopkeeper "oops" repeatedly, and the guests next to him naturally couldn't get used to it, so they argued with the young man as soon as you said a word.
Seeing this, Wuzhi hurriedly stepped forward to help the shopkeeper up, and while apologizing to the shopkeeper again and again, he hurriedly pulled the young man away. He touched his whole body without illness and handed over the only two coins of silver and a dozen copper plates to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was gentle and polite to see that he was not sick, and seeing that the money he gave was enough, he didn't say much at the moment, tidied up the tables and chairs, beckoned the two of them to sit down, and served a pot of hot tea and a few pancakes.
Wu Zhi poured himself a bowl of tea, drank it dry in one sip, and even enjoyed it, and drank three bowls of hot tea in a row before stopping, when he looked down to get a pancake, he saw that the plate was already empty, and then looked at the confused young man, who was opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue to lick a few sesame seeds from his lips, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
At this time, a middle-aged man got up and shouted: "Shopkeeper, I'm leaving, how to calculate this tea money?" The shopkeeper heard the sound and saw that the table was very messy, and knew that he must have been snatched some refreshments by the fat boy just now. ”
The middle-aged man was dressed in short clothes, dressed like a hunter, and when he saw that the shopkeeper had made it clear that he would not accept money, he was no longer polite at the moment, and said in his mouth: "Unlucky!" With his left hand, he picked up the sack on the table, and with his right hand, he picked up the spear from the wall, and walked towards the door.
Wuxian was drinking tea, and suddenly heard a "oh woo" behind him, the voice was very poignant, and he couldn't help but turn around, but saw half of the fox's head exposed on the sack on the back of the hunter, only to see that the fox's fur was pure white, a pair of black eyes, and he was staring straight at Wuxian at the moment, as if he was pleading with him.
I didn't have time to think about it, and shouted: "Stop!"
The Orion was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Wuxian.
Wuxian asked, "This big brother, what is in your sack?"
Orion smiled and said, "That's a fox caught by my trap last night, what's the matter, this prince is interested?" The middle-aged Orion saw that he was not sick and made a very generous move, and just paying the tea money was two coins of silver, and his words were more respectful.
Disease-free: "Open the bag and let me see." ”
Orion walked up to the disease-free and untied the sack, revealing a snow-white fox whose left front leg seemed to have been cut off, and the leg was stained with blood, and the white fox was curled up in the bag, trembling and his eyes were pitiful.
Looking at the eyes of the white fox without illness, his heart moved, only to feel that the white fox was in a desperate situation, and his life was hanging in the hands of others, so he felt like he was alone and helpless at the moment, so pitiful, pitiful, helpless and helpless...... He couldn't help but say, stepped forward and hugged the white fox in his arms, and said, "This fox, I want it!"
The middle-aged Orion smiled: "It's easy to say, you see that this fox has pure white fur and soft leather, and it is a first-class color." Originally, I wanted to take it out to the party members in this county, but I heard that their third aunt wanted to make a fox fur this winter, and she must have paid a high price for this pure white fox skin. That's it, son, if you want it sincerely, ten taels of silver, no two prices!"
Wuxian smiled bitterly in his heart, and said that now he is penniless, even if he usually sells all his belongings, he can't make up ten taels of silver.
Wuxian smiled and said: "This big brother, God has the virtue of a good life! I bought this fox, not for its fur, and for its flesh and blood, I just saw it pitiful and wanted to release it." You see if this is good, you remember these ten taels of silver first, and I will definitely double it for you when we see you in the future. ”
The middle-aged Orion's eyes rolled, and he suddenly changed color and said, "You kid is here to entertain me! I don't care if you release or kill! If you don't have any money, get out of the way!" Orion said as he stepped forward to take the white fox.
He stepped back, put the white fox on his left arm, and took out a jade flute from his chest with his free right hand. When he took out the jade flute, he didn't notice that the fat boy even moved the eyes of the snow-white fox.
Wu Zhi handed over the jade flute to Orion, and said: "Big brother, I don't have silver taels by my side at the moment, so I just have such a flute, this jade flute is also something that my mother has given me since I was a child, and I will use it to exchange this white fox with you today, okay?"
The middle-aged hunter picked up the jade flute and looked at it left and right for a long time, but still returned it to Wu Wei: "Joke! How much is such a broken flute worth? Can it have ten taels of silver?"
There is no illness here, and it remains to persuade Orion to agree to his quid pro quo. The fat boy suddenly roared, rushed forward, and snatched the spear from Orion's hand. Seeing that the young man was strong in his arm, he heard the sound of "click", and he had broken the spear into more than ten pieces, and threw them all on the ground.
The young man yelled: "My eldest brother said that if you want, you must be, if you don't want to, watch me break your neck!"
Seeing that the young man was so powerful, the middle-aged Orion couldn't help but be frightened and covered in chaff: "Yes...... Yes, ......yes! Good...... This ...... This fox ...... Take it if you want, don't ...... Don't hurt me, I'm still ...... at home There are old and young......"
The boy waved his fist: "Get out!"
Wuxian held the jade flute and shouted behind: "You can take this flute!"
Where did the middle-aged hunter dare to take it, and when he saw the fat boy, it was like hiding from the plague god, and he ran away when he went out. In fact, how could he have thought that Xu Wuxi's family heirloom jade flute was an antiquity after all, and if he found a pawnshop, he could at least get a hundred taels of silver.
He said without illness: "Although this young man is confused, he also has a bit of brute strength, but he has an impulsive and irritable personality, and he must be restrained a little in the future." At the moment, he pretended to be angry and said:
"Good brother, how can you be so reckless and bullying! When we go out, we can't take people's property at every turn, and if people sue the government, won't we become robbers?"
The fat boy smiled: "Big brother, I saw that you were bullied by that person, the eldest brother wanted to release the fox with good intentions, that guy didn't know how to blackmail the big brother, of course I can't stand it!"
No disease: "Although you have good intentions, you must not be so reckless in the future!"
The obese boy took the hand of the disease-free and said aggrievedly:
"Big brother, can we not talk about this, my stomach is still hungry!"
No disease: "Didn't you eat all the cakes in the store just now?"
Fat boy: "Ahem! That little thing is not enough to fill the gap between my teeth! I'm still hungry, big brother, you said you would like to invite me to a big meal!"
I can't help but feel embarrassed by my illness, and now I have nothing left on my body, but I can't bear to see the young man so uncomfortable, and when he has nothing to do, suddenly a person stands up behind him, cranks a folding fan, smiles, and says loudly: "Two brothers, save the fox and release the life, do good deeds, such a temperamental person, can make me admire it!
