Chapter 33: Manifestation (4)
What happened at the foot of Tu Mountain just now spread in the village.
Yuezhuo became the master of demon slaying in the village, and it happened to be dressed as a Taoist priest. The villagers sent food and wine, and Yuezhuo saw the wine, just like a fox saw a chicken, and he was hungry.
The three of them were embraced by the village, and the deeds of Yuezhuo killing the fox gradually became a well-known thing for all ages.
It's just that he was pitiful, alone, without relatives, and died tragically in the mountains and forests. Yuezhuo and the others did not bring his body back to Taoyuan Village, for fear of scaring everyone.
There was a huge bloody hole in his chest, revealing white bones, which made people shudder.
The three of them simply buried him at the foot of Tu Mountain, which can be regarded as the soul returning to the land.
Ah Liang's house was also vacant, and the three of them lived in it naturally. Since the source of the plague has not yet been found, the three of them decide to stay for a few more days until the source of the plague is found.
It's just that since Ahri was bitten by a white fox that day, his state has been getting worse day by day. For three days in a row, he couldn't get a drop of water, and his dry cough didn't stop.
Previously, Master Yuezhuo had used his mana to heal Ahri's wound bitten by a white fox, but in the past few days, there were green tendons on the wound, like two green worms, hovering between Ahri's neck.
Ahri lightly lifted his white chapped lips and said slowly, "Master....."
Yuezhuo beside the bed saw that Ahri had woken up, and held Ahri's weak hand, and his hand became thinner and thinner.
Su Yan lifted the cyan curtain and moved over with a porcelain bowl in small steps.
"The water is coming. ”
Yuezhuo helped Ahri get up, and half of Ahri's body leaned lightly on Yuezhuo's shoulder, like a gossamer. He touched the edge of the porcelain bowl in small sips, and as soon as he touched the water, he coughed violently.
Seeing this, Su Yan frowned, and carefully reminded, "The symptoms of Li Tan's little son are ..... with the epidemic."
I only heard Yuezhuo say, "If you are afraid of getting infected, you can go." ”
Su Yan was stunned, and the pestle remained in place.
He's not afraid, he's worried about Ahri!
Looking at Ahri, who was sick at the moment, his heart was a little touching. He wants the energetic Li Tan boy who can play and joke with him to come back!
"I'm not leaving. Su Yan's tone was resolute, and his eyes were also resolute.
A hint of surprise flashed in Yuezhuo's eyes, and she casually threw him a clean handkerchief.
"I didn't want to get it, so I put a veil over my face. ”
This Yuezhuo seems to be cold-spoken, but between the words, he is actually concerned about him?
Su Yan's thoughts were interrupted by Ahri's painful and manic cry.
Ahri wriggled and clawed at his neck, his slender and white neck scratched one bloody mark after another. And he still wouldn't stop.
Yuezhuo and Su Yan immediately stepped forward, and one of them held down one of Ahri's arms, but Ahri suddenly used all his brute strength to break free of the two, and the two fell to the ground.
When I got up and looked again, I saw a red fox with a broken tail lying on the bed, and there was still the shadow of Ahri.
“.........”
Su Yan was dumbfounded.
Yuezhuo was also stunned, and then couldn't suppress the smile in her heart, and lowered her head and laughed.
I only heard the severed-tailed fox let out a complaining voice, "Master!!"
Division..... Father.......?
Su Yan couldn't believe his eyes and ears, the fox was called Yuezhuo...... Master?
Why is the little boy Li Tan, who is still dying on the bed, gone?
So what is it?
Li Tan's little son!??
This Li Tan Gongzi turned out to be a fox spirit??!!
Then its master.... No, it's more.....
Su Yan's heart was amazed again and again, he glanced at Yuezhuo in panic, and turned around to escape. was pulled by the hair by the moon and pulled back.
"Where are you going....?" the corners of Yuezhuo's mouth raised a touch of weirdness.
Su Yan was speechless at this time, trembling his legs, clasping his hands, and muttering incessantly, "Spare your life...."
Yuezhuo refused to give up, opened her mouth wide, and pointed inward with her hand, "I'm hungry, and I'm going to eat you now." ”
Su Yan was so frightened that he almost died on the spot, only to hear Ahri behind him say quietly, "Master, don't scare him, help me take a look, what the hell is going on!"
Ahri walked in circles on the collapse, when did its body become such a petite one?
And what about the tail? What about its beautiful, soft tail?
Yuezhuo sneered and spread her hands, "I don't know what's going on. ”
Ahri said angrily, "Let ..... What to put in the nonsense. Master, you have boundless power, just help me, I don't want to be a fox without a tail. ”
"Then I'll turn you into a fortune. Yuezhuo sneered.
He expected Ahri to pester him to die or live, and it could be seen that his appearance was really much better than the appearance of the one who was about to go west just now.
Moonburn frowned and thought, perhaps, the source of the epidemic has been found.
As Su Yan said, Ahri's symptoms were exactly the same as those of the people who were infected with the epidemic. Those people who were infected with the epidemic were afraid that if it was not because one person was bitten by a fox, the venom carried by the fox was injected into the body. Then, others come into contact with it, one to ten, ten to hundred......
And Ahri is a fox, and it will not die, but because of this venom, it will appear in its original form.
...........
That day, the murder of fox spirits had intensified in the village, and the villagers gritted their teeth when it came to foxes.
As a result, Yuezhuo turned Ahri into a short-tailed fox dog, commonly known as a Pomeranian.
It's better to have a tail than no tail, Ahri has figured it out, it's better to live like this for the time being, it's better than being recognized as a fox.
As a result, Ahri had a new name, Wangcai.
On this day, Ahri and Su Yan sat at the door of their homes watching the sunset, and Yuezhuo was leisurely drinking the wine offered by the villagers in the guest hall.
"Hmm-"
He smelled the aroma of the wine, which was far less mellow than the smell of wine on Qingqiu Mountain. It's just that in this mortal world, it's okay.
It's time to celebrate that you've found out the source of the disease. Tomorrow, tell the people in the village not to kill indiscriminately in the future, and there will be no epidemics.
As for what to do with those who have already contracted the disease-
Just find the first person who was bitten by a fox and have the virus, and then pull out the fox teeth embedded in the flesh of his neck. For those who are infected with the disease, the symptoms will naturally disappear gradually.
Because the fox fangs will be embedded in the mortal's body more and more over time, getting deeper and deeper. Therefore, the people did not know that it was the plague that caused it.
Ahri stands on his two front legs, and the dog sits upright, wagging his short tail. It didn't know what Master Yuezhuo was up to, why didn't he turn it back into a human form again instead of turning it into a dog.
Moreover, it is very dissatisfied with the name Wangcai!
Su Yan, who was only listening to the side, said, "Little boy Li Tan, I still can't get used to it, you look like this." ”
"Wangwang~嗷嗷~"
Ahri felt the same way, and saw that Su Yan had a resonance with herself, and echoed it continuously.
Seeing Su Yan frowning, smiling bitterly, he touched the top of his head with one hand, "Don't call, you look like this, no matter how you say it, I can't understand it......"
The sun set, and the moon scorched comfortably, looking at the back of the man and the dog at the door.
Well.... How comfortable is that......
