Chapter 8734 White Fox's Sadness
"Yes, there is another little fox. That little fox should be the cub of this white fox." Yuan Daochang said.
Yang Ruoqing looked at the fox at her feet. She originally wanted to lift up its three tails and take a look at some of its organs, but she stretched out her hand and said it again.
People are already spiritual, but you still do that kind of thing. Not to mention the embarrassment, you yourself feel vulgar!
"Why did the little fox knock on the door?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Could it be that the little guy was going down the mountain to play with his mother fox, and the little guy was tired from playing and wanted to ask for a drink of water?
Yuan Daochang shook his head: "Maybe it's just for fun, I don't know the details."
"Anyway, after I opened the door, I saw a little fox standing upright like a child at the door, raising its right little fluffy paw and still knocking on the door."
"That little fox is very beautiful, and his eyes are crooked when he smiles. No wonder people compare the most beautiful women to vixens. It does make sense!"
Daochang Yuan still has endless memories of what happened on the Lantern Festival night last year. It can be seen that the beautiful, cute and naughty little fox really left a deep impression on him.
"The little fox was startled by my opening the door and turned around and ran away. Only then did I realize that there was a large white fox on a stone not far away. The fox was kneeling like a human.
There he worshiped the moon in the sky, and behind him, three tails exploded at the same time..."
"I knew I saw something I shouldn't have seen, so I apologized and quickly closed the door of the Taoist temple and retreated to the backyard."
"Perhaps it's because I disturbed its practice or something. For several days in a row, everything was not going well for me, and I could even sprain my ankles when walking on flat ground."
"Finally, I gave myself a divination, and sure enough, it was secretly taking revenge."
"I also followed the instructions in the hexagram and sent two roast chickens and a pot of wine to the place where it worshiped the moon, and put three sticks of incense on it."
"From then on, the two of us will stay on the same page."
Yang Ruoqing was very excited when she heard this. She didn't expect that Taoist Yuan had such a close relationship with this fox.
Also, it further proves that this fox really likes to eat chickens.
"Daozhang Yuan, what about the second time? When and where did you see this white-furred fox the second time?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
"Wait a minute," she suddenly raised her hand, "Daozhang Yuan, you said you saw a mother fox and her son, but tonight I only caught the mother fox, but not the little fox."
Daochang Yuan smiled faintly, with a bit of melancholy in his eyes, "I'm going to talk about the little fox next."
Yang Ruoqing nodded and continued to listen quietly.
Yuan Daochang said: "To be honest, I should have seen the mother and her son three times in total. Because the second time I saw a fox cub alone."
"It must have been when the water rose in the summer. One night it was very hot, so I came to the river outside the Taoist temple to cool off."
"It was extremely hot that night. Many birds and animals that we had never seen in the mountains came out of the mountains and came to the river to drink water. The scene... was spectacular. At least, this was the first time I had seen it in my entire life."
The animal world that she had seen in her previous life suddenly appeared before Yang Ruoqing's eyes. In the African savanna, during the dry season, various animals flocked to water sources from all directions.
Whether they are lions, leopards, wolves, hyenas, zebras, giraffes, rhinos, rabbits, etc., they are usually natural enemies that are closely linked in the food chain. When drinking water, there seems to be an unwritten rule in the laws of nature: that is, when drinking water
truce!
Almost all animals obey this rule, except one animal.
That's the crocodile.
"Those beasts were all in peace at first. They drank the water and left each other." Yuan Daochang's voice continued, "However, a golden python suddenly turned around and wrapped its tail around the fox cub."
Gu Zheng "Money python?" Yang Ruoqing suddenly heard something that someone around her said a long time ago. She said that she was passing by the foot of the mountain at night and saw a round and thick thing, half of which was resting in the forest.
, the other half was lying across the road, with his head in the river to drink water.
The moonlight shone on that thing, making it shine like a bag of copper coins.
That big python that launched a sneak attack on the little fox must be the one.
"I was using my bare hands and couldn't find a way to save him. Later, when I went back to the yard to find a shovel and rushed out, the money man had already disappeared, and the little fox was nowhere to be found either. Oops!"
Daochang Yuan sighed, and Yang Ruoqing also sighed.
If the little fox falls into the mouth of the big money python, it must be in danger and it will be swallowed long ago.
The two were talking when suddenly, Yang Ruoqing discovered that the tied female fox at her feet had stopped moving.
Previously, it had been moving. Even if its struggle was ineffective, it did not give up its efforts.
But this moment, it didn't move at all, as if it was dead.
"Let me take a look." Yang Ruoqing then took off the cloth covering her eyes.
Anyway, neither she nor Taoist Yuan will be confused by it, so it will be fine if they can be solved.
However, when the cloth strip was taken off, Yang Ruoqing saw that the female fox's eyes were open.
The red pupils seemed to contain a burning flame.
But at this moment, its eyes seemed to have lost their sparkle, and the fire inside was burning with sadness.
Tears as red as blood rolled down the corners of its eyes, leaving two long red tear tracks on the white fur on its perfectly curved face.
It's shocking to see.
"It...is it crying?" Yang Ruoqing's heartbeat skipped a beat, and a soft place in her heart was suddenly stabbed hard, feeling stuffy, swollen, and a little uncomfortable.
"It really cried. Maybe it heard the conversation between me and Mrs. Luo and finally learned the whereabouts of its cub, so it became desperate..." Daochang Yuan looked at the white fox with blood and tears, and sighed helplessly.
"I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary person, but I really can't save your cub from the hands of the big money python. I'm so ashamed!"
Daochang Yuan lowered his head and apologized to the white fox over and over again.
The white fox lay on the ground, crying silently, unable to extricate himself from the grief of losing his son!
As a mother, Yang Ruoqing couldn't see the look in her eyes.
Compared to its previously haunting eyes that deliberately made people fall into hallucinations, Yang Ruoqing really felt the impact at this moment of the most primitive sadness of a mother losing her cubs.
"Daozhang Yuan, when and where did you see this female fox for the second time?" She turned her head and asked.
Taoist priest Yuan smiled bitterly: "Ever since the fox cubs disappeared, the mother fox has gone crazy and howled in the forest every day and night."
"I don't remember the specific day. In short, when I saw it, it was wandering alone by the river, looking for it, as if calling for its cubs."
"But the water level of the river rises and falls, falls and rises again. It freezes in winter, and it is almost never absent for a day."
"Hey, everything has a spirit, how pitiful the parents in the world are!"
