07 The beautiful and cunning white fox
At five o'clock in the morning, I got up.
When I opened the door, I saw that the big banyan tree was rooted in my backyard as usual.
I brushed my teeth and washed my face in a daze, and it wasn't until I wiped my face with a towel damp with cool water that I remembered something and looked at the banyan tree.
The banyan tree waited there as quietly as it had been when I wore my boots, but now it was much bigger than it used to be.
I remember that guy was kicked out of the house by me after watching TV with me last night because she wanted to sleep with me.
To be honest, if such a cute girl says she wants to sleep with you, under normal circumstances, both men and women, young and old, will agree, right?
But that guy was a youkai, a dryad, so small, so trust me. If I do something, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life.
That's why last night Midori pestered me for a long time and said that I wanted to try the feeling of human sleep, but I stepped on her ass with a slipper and kicked her out of the house. In fact, a large part of it is because I am weak in my own heart, and I don't know if she is angry.
This morning, my sister Xiaoxue will take the bus home from school, and she will probably come home after I deliver the goods once.
I took the plastic box and scissors and went to the banyan tree and shouted, "My sister will be back soon, until she goes back to school, you can only keep it like this, you know?"
There was no movement......
I pulled out my scissors and approached her: "Give me a reaction." β
The tree moved, shedding a green leaf.
Sure enough, even if it's a monster, just tuned~ well-trained, and will obediently listen to me.
Only then did I carry my things to the orchard with peace of mind.
In the summer, there is always fog before dawn, especially in the woods. At this time, a faint mist spreads in the orchard, like a smoke effect on the stage.
After yesterday's small green lane, the orchard is now full of huge fruits and fresh fruit blossoms.
It was quiet, not even the sound of bugs.
I took my tools to the peach grove, put them down, carried the bamboo luo and the scissors, put the folding ladder under the tree, and then climbed the ladder to start picking the fruit.
This is a daily compulsory job, and I remember when I was a child, my father would pull me up to help pick fruits when my family was busy. At that time, I would only feel the reluctance of the boss, but after taking over, I slowly began to feel the tranquility of the process of picking fruits, and I felt that it didn't matter.
Of course, if you don't have to work, it's best to sleep for more than ten hours a day.
As I picked the fruit, I put it in the back of the fruit, and when the fruit behind me was almost full, I heard a little noise in the quiet orchard.
The rustle, the sound of leaves and branches, from a distant tree to a nearby tree, seemed like something was approaching me.
I knew that it was my old enemy, an enemy that I had never won in my life.
A white shadow jumped from a peach tree across the street to the tree where I was picking fruit, and then deftly jumped to the branch less than a meter above me. The branches swayed, but the white shadow sat steadily.
It was a white fox with a very beautiful coat. Its limbs were lightly pressed against a branch, its fur was as white as unpolluted snow, its large, soft tail swayed gently behind it, and its dark eyes stared at me spiritually, as if they were provoking me.
It is a very beautiful fox, and I believe that if it appears in the city one day, it will cause chaos, and those women who see this white fox will scream as if they have been attacked by an air raid.
However, I don't feel cute in any way.
On this day, it casually muttered a large peach and threw it down at me below.
I didn't dodge this peach bomb, it hurt, and then I continued to pick the fruit like no one else.
It's not that I can't dodge, it's that once I dodge, it keeps throwing until it hits me. And much of the fruit had already been destroyed.
My first meeting with it was in the snow in the winter two years ago.
That winter, it was a rare snowfall in the southerly city of Aoki. In the early morning after the snow, I went to the fruit grove to pick fruit before the sun appeared.
It was cold and there was a light layer of snow on the ground. When I carried a bunch of things to the orchard, I stepped on shoe prints along the way.
Suddenly, I heard a strange sound in the orchard, like a rat gnawing on a wooden tool, which was very evident in the silence of the orchard.
I walked over with curiosity, searched for the source of the sound, and found a few large fresh grapefruit in the snow. In the middle of the grapefruit, there is a white fox that is whiter than the surrounding snow, and it bites open the skin of a grapefruit, and burrows into it with its long mouth to eat the flesh.
When it heard the slight sound of my footsteps, its long ears moved, and it looked up at me from the grapefruit.
I had never seen this little creature before, and when I saw its watery eyes, I was immediately fascinated by it, and I only thought it was as beautiful and unrealistic as a dream.
It seemed to be a little frightened when it saw people, and suddenly slipped up to the grapefruit tree and stood on a branch looking at me.
I walked under the tree and stood down and looked up at it.
After admiring its beauty for a while, I glanced at the rest of it before I said something that might have been a curse.
"It's a mother's......"
I don't think it's a faux pas, after all, the other party is a fox.
But the white fox did something that short-circuited my brain a moment after I said thisβit smacked the biggest grapefruit in the tree and threw it down at me standing under the tree.
I couldn't even imagine a fox using such an attack, so after a brain short-circuit, I stood still and let the huge grapefruit smash me and knock me over. Tools were scattered all over the ground, and I was lying on the ground eating snow.
When I got up with my head covered and looked at the fox in the tree, another grapefruit fell from the sky and knocked me down again.
Then I finally got up, got up like crazy, and ran.
Sure enough, the next second, another grapefruit fell on the ground where I was lying on my stomach.
I ran to a tree in the distance, and when I looked at the tree, I couldn't see the fox anymore.
I thought it had run away, or was hiding somewhere and continued to eat my fruit. In less than half a minute, I had another surprise attack. This time, it was an apple bomb, and the fox didn't know when it came to the grass and fruit tree where I was hiding, and once again spoiled my fruit.
I've been fighting this fox ever since.
It would appear in my orchard every two or three days, and every time it would come to me and throw fruit at me.
My family was originally in the fruit and poultry industry, and in addition to selling fruits, I also raised chickens and ducks. But after I offended the fox, there was one less chicken and duck in my house every two or three days, and I found out for a long time that there were less than half of them left, and I never kept poultry again.
My family once had a yellow dog called Lao Huang that I watched him grow up with since I was a child. Later, Lao Huang entered the orchard to chase the fox, and the two of them ran far away, and I never saw Lao Huang again in the days that followed.
Xiaoxue picked up a flower cat and raised it home, but less than a month since the fox appeared, it has disappeared.
For a long time, I wore a hard hat to the orchard, ran after the fox with a firewood knife, and threw stones at it when I found them. I went to the city and bought all kinds of toy guns to shoot the fox, but they all failed.
Later, he had no choice but to go to the opposite village and borrow a shotgun to chase the fox, but he did not hit it until the bullets ran out.
I've done all sorts of traps to catch the fox, but it only took the piece of meat from the trap, and I've never seen it fall into a trap.
When I say so much, I just mean two things: one is that this fox is not as cute as it seems, it is very powerful and ferocious; The second is that I have a deep, deep enmity with it.
Now I am at peace with it - it is very unkind to me, I am polite to it.
Today's orchard has changed a lot after being spawned by Xiao Green, and the fox seems to have noticed this, grabbing a peach with two paws and squatting on the branch, looking at the orchard while eating.
I was upset to hear the sound of it eating fruit. I want to stab it with scissors, but it's a bit far away, and I won't have a good time if I offend it.
It occurred to me that this fox was so smart, could it be a youkai?
I've been bullied by it before.,But I didn't really think that this fox would be a monster.γ Now that I know that there really is a monster, think about it, indeed, it is so smart that it is simply against the sky. It's incredible to play with me and never lose it.
I cautiously looked up.
"Hey. β
The fox looked down at me while eating peaches.
"Are you a youkai?"
The answer to me was a peach pit.
I touched my forehead, which was hurt by the peach pit, pointed to myself and said, "Actually, I'm also a monster." β
The fox squinted at me for a moment, then looked away with disdain for a moment.
Damn! I'm despised! I'm despised by a fox!
I deflated, "Believe it or not, I think you're a vixen anyway." If you understand, let's talk about it. I have the advantage of a fruit forest, and I want to reopen the farm, and if you have any conditions, just tell me, just don't poison the chickens I raise. Also, I don't understand where I offended you, you've been targeting me like this for two years!"
The white fox looked at me for a long time, then turned around and jumped away. I looked at its distant figure and felt depressed.
After that, I packed ten boxes of fruit and shipped it to the fruit store, which was supposed to be a good day, but the fruit shop owners saw that the fruit I shipped was so much bigger, and they wondered if I had planted genetically modified fruits, and threatened not to give them such fruits next time.
I was very angry, and I really had the idea of not selling to them and opening my own fruit shop.
Thinking about Xiaoxue's return today, I will be able to see her when I go back in a while, and I have some excitement in my heart, and the dissatisfaction between me and the fruit shop owner just now has dissipated.
It's just that this happy mood sinks immediately when I glance at my backyard as I drive home.
"Where's my banyan tree?!"
