I don't know how many years ago, I once watched a fairy tale called "The Fox Marries a Girl".

The book tells the story of a boy who accidentally saw a fox marrying a bride, who was originally seen by humans according to the rules of the clan, and if he didn't kill the human, he would never be able to marry again.

But the beautiful fox girl let him go because he was a child, and the boy regretted it when he came home, so he began to travel, looking for traces of the fox girl, because he wanted to say "I'm sorry" to her personally.

It is conceivable that the author of the fairy tale was definitely an idealist, and it is certain that he had never seen the situation when the fox married his daughter, otherwise he would not have written the story so imaginative and childlike.

The fox marries a girl, and all it brings to humans is fear!

It was quiet, the rain was still falling, crackling on the eaves, and I don't know if it was because I was too tired, the girl fell asleep on my chest.

It's so quiet, the neighborhood is too quiet and abnormal, and the summer cicada, which was screaming vigorously not long ago, suddenly closed its mouth.

Fog! When did it start fogging?

A thick, almost viscous white gas poured into the room, churning in front of my eyes.

I squinted, but I could only see three meters away.

It's quieter, no, it's silence! Not even the sound of rain was gone.

My ears couldn't hear any sound for a while, as if the whole person was suddenly thrown into a vacuum with no sound wave transmission, and I almost screamed out loud in discomfort.

Suddenly, the whole world began to shake, silently vibrating, and I saw a large group of black shadows penetrate through the dense fog on the left, pass in front of my eyes, and then slowly disappear on the right.

I don't know how many people in that team, and it took a long time before a sedan chair-like thing was carried over by several black shadows.

The sedan chair did not look like the figure that had walked by before.

The previous people, no matter how hard I tried, could only see a vague shadow, but the palanquin was different, I could clearly see the pattern carved on it, and the people sitting in the palanquin.

It was a girl, probably only in her teens.

She wore a plain white kimono with cherry blossom motifs, her hair was neatly tied back and tied tightly with a turtle shell comb, and the pure white bridal hijab and veil covered her hair, as well as most of the girl's face.

Although I couldn't see her clearly, I had a strange feeling of familiarity with the girl, like I had seen her somewhere.

The girl who was pressing on top of me hugged me tighter, and she gasped slightly.

I looked down and saw that her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and she was sweating profusely from her forehead.

After a long time, the shadow was gone, and the fog began to disperse, and the light moonlight shone through the window on the two of us, and the girl moved slightly, and then sat up.

"Is that the fox marrying a girl?" I asked with a hard beat in my heart.

The girl was half-kneeling on the ground, blushing, and nodded slightly.

"The fox bride, is it a human girl snatched from the neighborhood?"

"Uh-huh......" The girl grinned and tried to smile, but failed, making only a very strange expression, which was a tacit acquiescence to my questioning.

I snorted and asked angrily, "Then those black shadows are fox demons!" ”

The girl looked up at me with a sharp look of horror in her big beautiful eyes.

"You see?" She asked anxiously.

"Yes." I nodded.

"Why do you want to open your eyes, do you want to die so much?!" The girl's tone was tinged with grief and slight anger.

I scratched my head and said nonchalantly, "They're all gone, and they haven't noticed I'm peeking, no problem." ”

"What do you mean no problem! Big problem! The girl quickly stood up, took my hand and walked out the door, "Let's get out of here quickly, we'll die if it's too late!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" I asked, confused.

The girl trembled all over, took a few steps back, and almost crashed into my arms.

"Looks like it's still too slow!" The girl muttered with panic on her face, her eyes staring out the window.

I followed her line of sight, and suddenly I felt a chill creep up my back and freeze through my heart.

I saw a huge black shadow, floating quietly not far from the house.

I couldn't see it, but I could clearly feel it watching me, as if its prey had been locked in by a predator.

My knees began to tremble under the gaze of the eyeless thing, and for no reason, I felt fear.

The fear was like a tidal wave, wave after wave of madness rushing over my sanity.

My brain kept sending out danger signals that I was trying to get away as fast as I could.

The shadow smiled hideously, and it seemed to be laughing as it kept approaching the hut.

Finally it floated in through the window, and the irresistible fear only woke me up.

I screamed, picked up a piece of burning wood and threw it at the shadow, then took the girl by the hand and ran out of the hut in the direction where the fox had come.

I don't know how long we have been running, but the black shadow has been following us unhurriedly, as if we are sure that we will not be able to escape its palm.

After escaping for a while, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I ran back to the B&B where I stayed at night.

I didn't have time to be happy, I rushed into the living room as soon as possible, picked up the phone and wanted to call the police, but no matter how I fiddled, there was always only a blank sound on the phone.

What the hell!

Isn't this the fox demon's doing?

Depend on! When did these ghosts and monsters learn to harass these high-tech things?

I scolded from the ancestor of the fox demon Tamamo in front of the words, and scolded all the way to the Inari Shrine dedicated to the fox fairy, in short, everything about the fox was all scolded by me as a classic, and the girl who was tightly held by me looked at me with a shocked face, and I didn't know that scolding people could be so profound.

It's always strange that when the human brain judges that you are in a desperate situation, it automatically determines whether you will pass out or continue to rely on instinct.

Human instinct is also a strange thing, just like when you get lost, most panicked people will choose to keep going to the left; And if you are chased by something and fall into a state of panic, almost everyone will close themselves in a confined space, regardless of whether that space can really block what is chasing them.

Perhaps panic makes people instinctively think that a confined place will create a sense of security.

Even if you're as smart as I am, you're not exempt from vulgarity!

The girl and I fled into my room, our luggage still neatly placed next to the pillow.

Without the slightest hesitation, I dragged everything that could be moved and blocked the door of the guest room, but the panic made me forget a very basic common sense, the guest room uses a typical Japanese-style sliding door, no matter how blocked it is, the other party can easily open it.

Just as I was thinking about it, the door was jerked open, and what was blocked in front of the door was also pulled by an invisible force and flew out in all directions.

A dark shadow appeared silently in front of the door.
