Chapter 618 Red Fox and White Fox (V)
All this time, the red fox that has been drawing strength from the man's mind,
Gradually, I became deeply tired of such a repetitive life.
Although it can change the object of its form at will, it always absorbs thoughts around the fixed role of lover.
As time went by, it became boring and lost the original freshness and excitement.
So it decided to break the rules, resolutely changed its identity, and quietly replaced the seriously ill daughter of a family.
In the process, Red Fox discovered that the status of women was so low.
Even if he is seriously ill and lying weakly in bed, he can only rely on the maids at home to serve him and give him medicine, and family love seems to be out of reach.
In the long months, the seriously ill daughter who transformed into a red fox only saw her parents a few times, and their presence was as fleeting as passers-by.
Even though the red fox tried its best to pretend that he was coughing up blood and was in critical condition, he received very little care and attention.
As for the thoughts, they are so insignificant that they can almost be ignored.
Faced with this situation, although the red fox was unwilling to give up easily, it decided to be patient and continue to play this role in the hope of a turnaround.
But it turns out that all efforts seemed to be in vain, and the situation did not change because of Red Fox's persistence.
Moreover, because the "Ginseng Yangrong Pills" used by this family for their daughter were expensive, but the red fox-incarnated daughter was reluctant to take her last breath, the father had to make the decision to lower the specifications of the medication.
You know, this family is considered a wealthy family in the local area, and it stands to reason that they will never be stingy just because of a mere medicinal material.
But Red Fox could clearly feel that as time went by, the medicinal properties of the pills were gradually weakening. Even the meals sent by the servants were not as good as before, and the quality was not as good as before.
Red Fox finally realized deeply that what this family really cared about was the son who held a high position in the temple and held power.
As for their daughter's situation and feelings, it seemed that they were completely out of their consideration, as if she had been forgotten in an inconspicuous corner.
To Red Fox's surprise, it was his elder brother in the temple who provided him with the most thoughts to nourish him.
After two years of persistence and waiting, Red Fox finally made the decision to leave.
He knew that it would be meaningless for him to continue delaying like this.
Not only can we not get more nourishment from our thoughts, but we have also wasted precious time.
So, he returned to Qingqiu, his ancestral land where he first met the white fox.
What he didn't expect was that the white fox had not yet transformed into a human.
He found his sister Bai Hu and shared his transformation experience with her.
After hearing this, the white fox did not show much surprise.
He just took a breath, as if he had already seen through everything.
"Actually," Bai Hu said slowly, "I also transformed into a man several hundred years ago."
When Red Fox heard this, he suddenly became curious and asked quickly: "Huh? How does it feel? Sister, you might as well tell me and let me gain insights."
Bai Hu nodded slightly and fell into deep thought:
"That happened more than 800 years ago, in a town not far from here. At that time, the world was in chaos and uprisings continued in various places. The town was not spared and was looted by the so-called rebel army."
"When I saw a family's wife and daughter about to be raped by military bandits, I took the initiative to transform into a strong man and stepped forward, killing the three military bandits and saving the family."
The red fox's eyes flashed with curiosity and asked: "Sister, do you still remember what you looked like when you first transformed?"
Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Bai Hu's face, but in the end he nodded slowly.
At the next moment, a nine-foot-tall, majestic and majestic man suddenly appeared in front of Red Fox.
He has a beautiful beard, a handsome face, and arms as thick as if he could run a horse.
Seeing this scene, Red Fox couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister, you look like those legendary green forest heroes!"
However, the white fox seemed unwilling to maintain this appearance for a long time, and returned to his original appearance in an instant.
She continued: "The first three days were okay because they were very grateful to me for my kindness to that family, so I received a lot of thoughts."
"During those three days, I stayed at that family's home. Although they entertained me, I also gave them a lot of money in return."
"I thought they would continue to thank me, but I was wrong."
"Human emotions are really complex and unpredictable, and their gratitude indeed only lasted three short days."
When Red Fox heard this, he was filled with curiosity and couldn't help but ask: "Huh? Why only three days?"
Bai Hu sneered, his tone revealing a profound insight into human nature:
"Human beings are like this. Hatred can be engraved in their hearts and remembered forever; but kindness can be forgotten as if it never happened."
The red fox seemed to be touched by the white fox's words, and nodded in agreement.
There was a hint of imperceptible heaviness in Bai Hu's voice as he continued to speak slowly:
"Among the three military bandits I killed, one of them had a rather special identity. He was the son of that officer."
"He was missing for seven days. The officer was extremely anxious and sent people to look for him everywhere."
"Finally, somewhere in the city, he found his son's body."
"The officer was distraught and furious. He issued a city-wide reward notice, vowing to find the murderer and avenge his son."
"And it just so happened that at this time, someone happened to witness those military bandits entering that family's house."
"Then, those who were under orders from the officers acted quickly and arrested all the members of the family."
At this point, the outcome is already obvious, and there is no need for Bai Hu to ask any more questions.
Red Fox nodded thoughtfully and said: "So... at the critical moment of life and death, that family still sold you in order to exchange for their own safety."
Bai Hu shook his head: "No, it's much worse than you think."
"Even before the male owner of that family was taken away, he had already secretly thought of reporting me."
"He may have thought that as long as he sacrificed me, his family's lives could be saved."
"It was precisely because I saw this calculation in his heart that I resolutely left that family and no longer had anything to do with them."
"After all, people's hearts are unpredictable and kindness is easy to forget. This is the most profound lesson I have learned in this world."
The white fox sighed heavily again, with endless emotion in his voice:
"After that, I continued to follow the teachings of my ancestors and chose to become a woman. In this way, I found a stable channel to obtain my thoughts."
After hearing this, Red Fox showed some hesitation on his face, and he said softly:
"But sister...the ability to obtain thoughts doesn't seem to have any direct relationship with men and women. Doesn't it mean that if we transform into men, we can't obtain thoughts?"
When Bai Hu heard this, he shook his head firmly and said:
"No! Brother, you are wrong. Over the years, I have transformed into a man more than once, but I have also gradually realized a profound truth."
"That is, a beautiful woman appears out of thin air. No matter whether her thoughts are as vicious as a snake or a scorpion, or she is kind, people will involuntarily want to get close to her."
"This is the instinct in human nature, the yearning and pursuit of beautiful things."
"However, if a big man appears out of thin air, even if he is chivalrous and has a heart of gold, he will often arouse people's suspicion and fear."
After the white fox finished speaking, he looked at the red fox gently and continued:
"Women have the advantages of women, and men also have the advantages of men."
"But no matter what, we transform in order to get along with others and gain thoughts, not just for fun."
After hearing this, Red Fox did not speak immediately, but he was silently thinking about White Fox's words in his heart.
Since a man who appears out of thin air will arouse suspicion and fear in others, wouldn't it be better if he doesn't appear out of thin air?
…
Years passed quickly.
Today is the special day for the married daughter of Zhang San's family in Qiaoxi. The whole street is decorated with all kinds of lanterns, and the festive atmosphere permeates every corner.
Zhang San is just a pig butcher in the market, and he was not originally capable of organizing such a grand wedding.
But all the prosperity and excitement are due to the fact that his daughter is about to marry into the Zhou family.
Zhou Mansion is a prominent family.
The master of the mansion once served as the magistrate of the state. Although he is now idle at home, his family is well-off and rich.
Such a family background is undoubtedly unattainable for ordinary people like Zhang San.
At this moment, Zhang Peiying was wearing a gorgeous red dress and a hijab, sitting in an eight-carriage sedan.
As a sedan bearer's resounding "Land - sedan -" sound came from outside the sedan, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart.
After all, she had never met Mr. Zhou, and she had never heard of the existence of such a person even a few days ago.
However, the reason why she was able to marry into the Zhou Mansion with such grace was all due to the guidance of Master Pingfeng Guan.
The real person once read Kanyu Feng Shui for the Zhou family and concluded that the Zhou family has strong Yang fire. If he can marry a woman born in the Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, Yin day, the Yin and Yang will be harmonious, and the Zhou family will continue to prosper, even for future generations. He is expected to be a very popular minister.
So, after careful calculation, the real person found Zhang Peiying.
Not only did they promise the son of the Zhou family to be the head wife, but the master of the Zhou family came to propose marriage in person. This sincerity and honor made Zhang San feel like a dream, and he could hardly believe that it was true.
But for the future happiness of his daughter, and for his own support for the rest of his life, Zhang San finally resolutely agreed to the marriage.
Afterwards, the Zhou family immediately came down with three books and six etiquettes, ten miles of red makeup, phoenixes in their crowns, eight large sedans, and the Ming matchmaker was getting married.
Zhang Peiying has no objection in her heart. She is well aware of the hard work and difficulty of her father's life.
I also understand that this marriage is a rare turning point for my father and myself.
What's more, through this marriage, she was able to get rid of the smelly market and the butcher shop, like a phoenix fluttering its wings from the branches, ushering in a new life.
With the support of everyone, Zhang Peiying slowly got off the sedan and stepped into the gate of Zhou Mansion.
As her footsteps moved, she was led into the lobby again. Although her sight was blocked by the red hijab and she couldn't see everything around her clearly, she could feel a strange atmosphere.
After all, the weddings she had attended were usually lively and full of laughter.
However, she couldn't hear any movement at this moment, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
You know, today is a big day for Zhou Mansion, so it should be a joyful and lively day.
But the Zhou Mansion in front of him seemed unusually quiet, as if there was no life at all.
Zhang Peiying felt a little confused about this abnormal phenomenon, but she could only attribute it to the rules and etiquette of the aristocratic clan.
Perhaps in these big families, people pay more attention to manners and solemnity, and will not be as noisy and noisy as those common people.
When she was led to the lobby, she finally heard someone speaking. It was a voice that seemed a little old, with a bit of kindness and kindness:
"Is this the lady of the Zhang family? Even through the red dress, you can see that she has a really handsome figure!"
Zhang Peiying secretly guessed that the voice should belong to Mrs. Zhou's family.
The next moment, accompanied by several low murmurs that she could not hear,
Then someone shouted loudly: "A thousand-mile marriage is tied by a thread, and a piece of red silk determines three lives!"
"The auspicious time has arrived, the bride and groom enter the wedding hall——"
A piece of red silk was stuffed into Zhang Peiying's palm, and she was led into the wedding hall.
Zhang Peiying's heart suddenly became nervous.
She has never met Mr. Zhou, but she has also seen the portrait brought by Mr. Zhou.
The young master of the Zhou family is handsome. It is said that he has passed the imperial examination at a young age.
If it weren't for the strong yang energy of Feng Shui, which caused some diseases,
If a daughter born in a yin time like her is needed to balance the yin and yang, I'm afraid it won't be the turn of an ordinary family like her.
Later, she heard from servants of the Zhou family that the young master was not seriously ill.
But the master urgently needs a young lady with the same horoscope to be a good match for the young master, so he is in a hurry to get married.
While Zhang Peiying was in a daze, she heard another shout:
"Worship the heaven and the earth——"
"Two bows to the high hall——"
"Husband and wife pay homage——"
Zhang Peiying looked at the shadow on the ground by worshiping her.
It could be seen that Zhou Lang seemed to be much taller than him, and he immediately blushed.
What made her a little strange was that when she looked at Zhou Lang's feet, they seemed to be standing on tiptoe.
However, she didn't pay too much attention.
"The ceremony - it's done -"
"Sent to the bridal chamber——"
After completing this, Zhang Peiying, who was held by the red silk, suddenly woke up as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Is this the end? Are you about to become the young mistress of the Zhou family?
The only flaw... was that she felt that the wedding was a little too lively, and she didn't seem to hear a few people talking.
Zhang Peiying walked out of the auditorium, but she didn't know it at all.
Zhou Lang, who had just bowed to him, was covered in black lines stained with black dog blood.
His eyes were closed tightly, and his skin was pale and bloodless.
Behind him, there was a person closely following him, controlling Zhou Lang's every move.
Seeing that Zhang Peiying had walked out, the Taoist also breathed out: "Master, madam, it's ready."
In front of the wedding hall, instead of the heaven and earth tablets, there is a spiritual tablet.
A letter was written "The spiritual place of my beloved son Zhou Qiguang".
The master nodded and gave instructions to his servants: "Hurry and get some silver coins for the Taoist Master."
The lady wiped away her tears: "Qiguang... don't worry, the bride will go down to accompany you soon..."
"My parents will never let you be alone..." (End of Chapter)
