The fox bald carried the lantern and walked slowly on the way back, this night was extraordinarily dark, the lantern was just waiting to see him close to the place, he was suppressed by this huge dark night, every step could not see what the next step was, in this depression that he had never before, he gradually fell into the memories and saw his past————————

That was a long, long time ago—

In the vast night, a black shadow scurried quickly between the mountain roads, like a fly without a head, completely directionless, under the cover of the night, the mountain road showed a white trace, all the way to the endless place in the distance, I don't know where to go, the black shadow did not know where he was going, he scurried, until he reached a decadent monastery on the top of a mountain, he stopped and gasped for breath.

When he stopped, he threw the object on his back to the ground, and the thing made a sound, and immediately cried in pain when he was hit, and it turned out to be a child, and when he saw the big thing in front of him, the crying voice was immediately much smaller, and a terrifying look appeared on his face.

The monster remained silent, looked at the child in front of him in a daze, gasped for breath, and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

His voice was a little clumsy, as if he had just learned to speak.

The child was so frightened that his two dark eyes stared at the monster without blinking, and said, "I'm Shou'er, who are you?" ”

The monster chuckled twice, and suddenly said sharply, "Who are you, why did you come to my cave?"

Shou'er was so frightened by the sound of the monster that she cried again, and the monster squirmed its furry head and said, "Don't cry." ”

Shou'er was so frightened that she closed her eyes and shouted, "I don't cry, can you let me go?" The little brother said that he was going to the mountains to find tree seeds. ”

As soon as the monster heard this, the two rows of white teeth of hatred clenched tightly, and said hatefully: "I know that this tree seed is a bane, where are you from? What is your father's name? Say it quickly, or I will eat you." ”

Shou'er looked at the two rows of white teeth, and was so frightened that she wanted to cry again, but she didn't dare to cry, and said in a choked voice: "My family is in Fushou Mountain, and my father's name is Ruan Wushan......"

The monster snorted and said, "I haven't heard of it, what does your father do?"

At this moment, a person's voice in the temple suddenly exclaimed, "You are the son of Ruan Wushan?"

Then a figure popped out of nowhere and walked over step by step.

The monster was so frightened by this voice that he took a step back, stared at the figure that was getting closer and closer, and said, "Don't come here, I'm a monster, and I'll eat people." ”

There was a tremor in his voice.

But he also pretended to be brave enough to show two more rows of teeth.

I saw that the voice didn't care at all, but said lightly: "Really?"

There was a lot of suspicion in his tone that the other party was really a monster.

Then the monster was tightly grasped by a black palm, and it was effortlessly lifted into the air, and the monster did not resist at all, and let the other party lift it, but its body trembled greatly.

The man sighed for a moment, looked at the monster in front of him, and said contemptuously, "It turned out to be a fox." ”

Looking at the fox curled up in a ball, his fur was a little gray, and he said, "Your cultivation is too bad, and the white is white, and you haven't cultivated yet, and you have only learned a few words of human language." ”

The fox trembled and said, "Ask the great immortal to spare his life, the great immortal must also come for the tree seeds, and the little animal will be handed over." ”

As he spoke, he took out a black tree seed from under his armpit and presented it respectfully in front of the man.

The man glanced at the black tree seed, and did not pick it up, but frowned and said: "You are too cowardly, I haven't asked anything, so you just say anything, why don't you have any ambition at all, aren't you embarrassing the monster?"

The fox trembled with fright, and said, "The little animal deserves ten thousand deaths, and the little animal deserves ten thousand deaths." ”

Then there was a loud noise, and it turned out that the fox was so frightened that he peed, and a fishy smell came to his face, and the man frowned, and threw the fox away, and covered his nose tightly.

The fox was so frightened that he prostrated on the ground, and cried out for mercy.

The man wanted to casually say get out, but when he saw the fox statue and was sincerely afraid of himself, he immediately had a good feeling, and suddenly said, "What's your name?"

The fox kowtowed again and again, "Little animal...... Small Livestock ...... The cultivation is too low, and it is not yet famous. ”

Listening to the man's questioning more and more, the fox gradually became less afraid, and his kowtow eased.

The man suddenly said, "Then I'll give you a name." ”

When the fox heard this, it was as if he had heard a letter of pardon, which was clearly a sign of sparing his life, and he was overjoyed, and he kowtowed again and again: "Thank you Daxian for your name, thank you Daxian for your name." ”

His voice became agitated.

Shou'er on the side saw that this person conquered this monster in a few words, and he admired it very much, but he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly in the dark shadow.

The man pondered for a moment and said, "Your name is fox bald, do you like the name?"

"Fox bald?"

The fox chewed on the name carefully, clearly laughing at himself for being a bald fox, he really didn't like the name in his heart, but he still said in a cheerful voice: "Fox bald, this name is good, this name is good, I like it, I like it." ”

The man laughed a few times and said, "From now on, you can follow me, my name is Fu Dongliu." ”

The fox was stunned, the name Fu Dongliu was so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, and wanted to ask him, Fu Dongliu had turned around, walked into the darkness, and lay down in a corner of the temple and fell asleep.

The fox bald didn't know whether it was happy or worried, anyway, now his life was saved, but what to do next, he didn't have any opinion, the child in front of him was still sitting on the ground, whether to eat the child, but Fu Dongliu didn't arrange it, he just walked and stood like this, not only to prevent Shou'er from escaping, but also to look sideways at Fu Dongliu, his heart still couldn't calm down, and occasionally he wanted to escape, but he always felt that as soon as he escaped Fu Dongliu would find that he would die miserably, he was so suspicious all night, he didn't rest for a moment, but Shou'er naturally slept on the ground, and slept very well。

It wasn't until the next morning that the fox bald finally couldn't stay up and fell asleep, and was kicked in a daze, and the fox bald woke up excitedly, and subconsciously shrank his head into a ball, only to hear Fu Dongliu's voice say: "You are too timid." ”

Very disappointed tone.

The fox faintly sensed that something was wrong, and begged in fright: "Master, please don't kill me." ”

Fu Dongliu glanced at the fox's bald and white fur, thinking that this skin was not very good, it was useless to take it off, and it was old to kill his flesh, so it was useless, so it was better to keep it as a servant, nodded and said, "For your loyalty, I won't kill you." ”

The fox bald was like an amnesty, and kowtowed again and again, saying, "Thank you, master, thank you, master." ”

Looking at Fu Dongliu's majestic body, there was a compelling momentum, and he dealt with it carefully.

It turned out that Fu Dongliu pursued the masked man from Fushou Mountain that day to seize the Xiuzhen Baolu, I didn't want him to be the masked man's opponent at all, and almost died, and a person fled to this dilapidated temple to recuperate for a hundred days of injuries, and only then did he get better, but he didn't want to meet the Shou'er of Fushou Mountain today, and he was very happy in his heart, but he didn't show a little look on his face.

Now that he has obtained such a slave, although it seems to be useless, it is better than nothing, and he looks timid and loyal, which also appeals to his heart.

At that moment, Fu Dongliu asked about the tree seeds, and the fox bald said a lot, but it was nothing more than the tree seeds that he occasionally obtained, which was said to be a fairy relic, and asked how to capture Shou'er, the fox bald general said it all over the beginning, Fu Dongliu nodded secretly while talking.

Because Shou'er is a child, he doesn't care much, he doesn't ask much, and detains Shou'er in the temple every day.

Fu Dongliu also knew that after Fushou Mountain was destroyed by the earth fire, he lost many people, and Jingji Old Ancestor and Li Xu were afraid that they were also killed in that catastrophe.

Every day, he went to the bottom of the mountain to hunt some prey, and when he came back, he wanted the fox bald to concoct, don't look at the fox bald, although he is still in the form of a beast, but he is very skilled in cooking, and the meals are also concocted and delicious, and he is very fond of Fu Dongliu, and he has not changed his respectful appearance, Fu Dongliu is even more happy.

The fox bald is also very knowledgeable, and knows a lot of things, so Fu Dongliu lived in the monastery with him, and waited for himself to recover from his injuries before going down the mountain.

The wind blew, the rubble rustled in the mountains, and stood in a deserted temple on the top of a mountain, Shou'er cowered in the corner, and beside him lay the fox's bald and thin body, and the huge tail swept back and forth on the ground behind him, and the dust on the ground was swept clean.

The inner door of the temple creaked open, and as the dust rose, Fu Dongliu walked out.

The fox jumped up at the foot of Fu Dongliu, respectfully.

Fu Dongliu was very satisfied with this feeling, glanced at the fox bald with his humble head up, and said lightly: "Has this kid ever explained anything?"

"This kid just cries vigorously and calls Daddy vigorously, and I think he doesn't know anything. ”

The fox looked at Fu Dongliu with two eyes and blinked, and said 1510.

Fu Dongliu nodded.

He didn't expect to hear anything from Shou'er's mouth, but when he heard that the fox bald didn't inquire about anything, he didn't mind much.

Fu Dongliu looked up into the distance, in the endless rolling mountains, a group of depression ran through the middle, Xuanxuan's mighty Jingji Gate collapsed in one day, and now Jingji Ancestor, Li Xu, the four envoys, and the jade screen scattered are all buried in the fire of Fushou Mountain, and he is the only one who survived, will this be the will of heaven? Could it be a sign that God has sent a great responsibility to himself?

Fu Dongliu looked into the distance in a daze, thinking about these things.

He breathed slightly, and there was still a slight blockage in his chest, but it didn't seem to be very serious, and in time, he was healed, and he was happy to do it.

Thinking about this, he was so satisfied that he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh a few times.

But in his chest, he choked and coughed violently.

Seeing this, the fox bald asked with concern, "Master, are you okay?" ”

Fu Dongliu raised his hand and shook it, signaling that he was out of the way, and after a while, he calmed down.

Suddenly, he turned his head to the fox and said, "Why did you change your name to call me master?"

The fox bald head and neck stood up, made a bow posture, and said: "The fox bald was given the name by the master, it was like a rebirth, and it was included by the master, which is thousands of times better than the old dead cave, the fox bald is grateful to the master for the grace of recreation, in addition to calling the 'master' master, the fox bald can not think of any other way to repay, in this life, the fox bald is only willing to serve the master wholeheartedly, do his best for the master, go to the soup and fire." ”

The fox bald mouthed a master, and Fu Dongliu's heart was full of joy when he heard it, and the sense of pride came up again, and he coughed loudly again, and coughed dozens of times before he stopped peacefully.

The fox bald took advantage of the situation and said: "Master, the fox bald is willing to go down the mountain for medicine for the master, but I don't know ...... master."

Fu Dongliu raised his eyebrows, "You want to go down the mountain?"

There was a faint displeasure on his face.

Seeing this, the fox bald hurriedly explained: "The fox bald is not trying to escape, the fox bald really wants to ask for medicine for the master, and in addition, the fox bald can also inquire about the recent news on the rivers and lakes." ”

Fu Dongliu nodded and said, "You just took the opportunity to escape, where can you escape? Go back to your stinky cave and nest, what is the point, follow me, there will always be your benefit." ”

The fox bald echoed casually: "What I said is that the fox bald is also thinking like this, and the fox bald is hardworking, and I hope the master understands." ”

Fu Dongliu nodded again and said, "Then you say, with such a respectful appearance, how can you walk on the rivers and lakes?"

What he meant was that the fox was a beast after all, and if it walked in a crowded place, it would inevitably be chased by pedestrians.

The fox smiled and said, "It's not in the way. ”

As he spoke, his neck hung down, and his limbs became stiff, and he looked like he was dead.

Fu Dongliu was startled, how could he not move if he was so good, he went up and lifted the fox bald, but he was still stiff, his hair stood on end, and he was dead.

Fu Dongliu was shocked, why was he fine just now, but he died while speaking.

Gently put the fox bald on the ground, and sighed in my heart, but it is also very reasonable to think that the fox bald is old after all, and he will die without a problem at this moment.

But unexpectedly, the fox's bald body rose up vertically, and disappeared in a leap, and immediately, the fox bald jumped out of nowhere, and stood beside Fu Dongliu with great energy.

Fu Dongliu was not wary and bluffed: "I thought you were dead?"

The fox bald patted his chest with his thin paws and said, "How can a fox be so easy to die." Then he said: "Master, what do you think of this kind of ability of the fox bald?"

Only then did Fu Dongliu understand that the fox bald was showing his ability to pretend to be dead, and laughed: "Okay, good." Going, going. ”

The fox bald kowtowed to Fu Dongliu and said, "Please wait for good news, the fox is gone." ”

Turn around and jump away.

Fu Dongliu suddenly remembered something and said, "Stop." ”

The fox bald slowly turned his head and said, "What else does the master command?"

Fu Dongliu thought for a while, raised his eyelids and said, "You are in a hurry, it is better to hand over the tree seeds to me for safekeeping, and the province will lose them." ”

The fox patted his head and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Spit out the tree seed from his mouth, handed it to Fu Dongliu, bowed twice, and went down the mountain.

Looking at the bald figure of the fox disappearing, Fu Dongchuan turned around, changed his face, and looked at Shou'er sitting in the corner, he looked at this child, this weak child, suddenly thought of something, and a kind of happiness rose inexplicably in his heart, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, walked to Shou'er's side, and suddenly said to him: "From now on, you will chop wood in the mountains every day." ”

He said to Shou'er almost in a commanding tone.

Since coming to this barren mountain temple, Fu Dongliu has not said a few words to Shou'er, his face is vicious, and every time Shou'er sees it, he obediently does not dare to move.

Hearing Fu Dongliu's order, Shou'er was a little surprised, and looked at Fu Dongliu blankly, her clear eyes full of doubts.

Fu Dongliu said lightly: "Go and chop wood now." ”

Shou'er couldn't help crying: "I don't want to chop wood, I want my father." ”

Fu Dongliu slapped Shou'er's face with a palm, this palm was a little too strong, half of Shou'er's face immediately became red and swollen, and he cried out.

Fu Dongliu shouted: "Don't cry." ”

Shou'er tilted her mouth and glanced at Fu Dongliu, but finally held back her crying and started crying lowly.

Fu Dongliu said sharply again: "Go and chop wood now." ”

Shou'er was frightened by him, and stood up reluctantly, but he couldn't find the tools to chop wood, Fu Dongliu took out a rusty firewood knife out of nowhere and threw it at Shou'er's feet and said, "Go quickly." ”

Shou'er used to slowly pick up the firewood knife, he had never suffered, he had done manual work, at this time he didn't know what to do with the rusty firewood knife, timidly saw a few ancient trees in the courtyard, so he picked up the firewood knife and cut it.

The other person is weak and weak, the wood knife is rusty and blunt, cut on the ancient tree that the two of them can't hug, and even a white mark can't be printed on the bark, his small arm waved hard, but it was like cutting on a stone, there was no reaction at all, his aggrieved tears flowed out, and the tears dripped beside the big tree beside him, but he didn't dare to make a sound at all.

Fu Dongliu watched Shou'er's thin back squirm in front of the ancient tree, and inexplicably, there was an indescribable burst of happiness in his heart, as if the resentment he had accumulated for decades now suddenly had a place to vent.

He seems to have seen his childhood at the same time, being coerced to chop wood, because he did not follow the will of others, his right wrist was brutally cut off, his troubled childhood, whenever he thought of this, he was out of anger, and there was nowhere to vent it.

Now seeing the same figure and the same action in his childhood, his heart is faintly venting the accumulated hatred, there is no sympathy in his heart, some are just happy, happy that others are suffering in his childhood, and he will return the pain to others.

However, what is even more painful is that he still can't recall the face of the man who gave him lifelong pain, perhaps because he was accustomed to pain in his childhood, and he has no memory of the person who gave him pain, and whenever he wants to recall the face of that person, his blood expands, and his mentality is like madness, because the more he wants to recall the face of that person, the more blurred and incomprehensible the face of that person becomes, and the more he cannot understand it, and at this moment, too, in this most painful memory, he glimpses his cold iron hand, who took away his flesh and blood, who is itWho is it? Who is it? The world is so big that he can't recall the face of the person who gave him the most painful memory of his life.

He jumped up like crazy, and at some point there was a long wooden vine in his hand, and he whipped it on Shou'er's back, and shouted: "Why? Why don't you remember the face of the enemy, why do you forget, why, are you still human? Are you still human?"

He whipped at Shou'er one by one, Shou'er's body trembled, how could he endure such pain, he cried loudly, Fu Dongliu's anger was even stronger, "You are still crying, you heartless thing, you are still crying, can you still cry?"

He whipped Shou'er as if he were whipping his childhood self, and he hated his childhood deeply, and now this hatred was endlessly vented.

Shou'er's crying also became louder and louder, and he shouted while crying: "Don't beat Shou'er, Shou'er will be very well-behaved, Shou'er will be very well-behaved, obedient and obedient......"

Fu Dongliu didn't have any mercy, although it was a short wooden rattan whip, it emitted great power in his hands.

It wasn't until Shou'er's cry became smaller and smaller, and finally it was faintly moaning, and it wasn't until Shou'er's body stopped struggling and lay on the ground that he no longer moved, that Fu Dongliu threw away the wooden vine that was about to break as if he had vented his hatred.
