The cicadas have chirped in the scorching heat, and it is now autumn, and the grass on the hillside is swaying with the last trace of summer warmth. A five-year-old girl in clogs struggled to remove the weeds that were much higher than herself, and with the help of memory, walked to a hill.

The hill was also buried in the grass, and there was also a clay statue hidden in it. It was like neither Buddha nor Tao, neither immortal nor god, but a little fox with two tails. The girl found this clay statue on the day of the summer solstice, and her grandmother told her that all those who were cast into images, whether they were made of gold, silver and jade, or pinched by mud and grass, were all good gods and immortals, and they needed to be worshipped, even if they were cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, it was better than being rude.

The girl knelt down to the fox, and then hurried home, and brought three dishes, swept the statue, and put some dew on the plates, and put in the plates the grains and salts made of grass and mud. This is the first statue she has encountered, and it is also the only one she has found within a radius of dozens of miles.

The girl came once every three days, and when she came, she sat for half a day, talked about common things, and talked about seeing you today. Almost all of her relatives died of famine, and the only thing left was her seriously ill grandmother. The land is full of fertile black soil, but it is unable to cultivate, and in this world where cultivation is common, it is difficult for a mortal to live.

"Fox Daxian, grandma can't talk anymore, and she can't eat, I want to find some tender wild vegetables for her to eat, do you know where to dig it?"

"Fox Daxian, grandma said a word, she said that she was so hungry, and I was so hungry.. I'll sit here a little longer, I don't want to go back..."

"Fox Daxian, I'm the only one left, I can sit with you for a long time today..."

Xu was to deal with the funeral of her relatives, the girl didn't come for half a month, she pushed aside the weeds and came to the hill, where the fox mud statue had been entangled in weeds. After cleaning up, the girl put grains and salt cubes on the plate again, this time for real.

The girl sat down and said, "Fox fairy, you eat quickly, I'll take it away later, I'll sell myself..." The girl sold herself to a merchant, the merchant was also kind, not a robber ruffian, willing to help this lonely child, the girl said that she wanted to worship the clay statue, the merchant asked and learned that it was a fox statue, and hurriedly said that this is not a good fairy, but it is a demon, but the girl still came secretly, but the merchant was not in a hurry, just waited in the same place, thinking about waiting for a long time, if not waiting is also the child's life.

Cuckoo... Mutter... The girl's stomach barked again, and she was used to it, and I was afraid that the clay statue was used to hearing it.

"Fox Immortal, I'm leaving, thank you for your protection of me all these times, Ah-Mi—" She bowed and bowed to the clay statue, saying the honorifics that these relatives had taught her. Then, she carefully put away the grains and salt cubes in the dishes, found the tender grass that had not been cold, and "made" some dough cakes with the mud and put them in the dishes.

Just as he was about to leave, a gray rabbit suddenly appeared in the grass, this rabbit was very fat, but not like a hare, not afraid of people at all, stood in front of the girl, and then rubbed his ankles, and his stomach was still making a sound. The girl squatted down and touched the rabbit's head, but the rabbit was very spiritual, turned over, pointed at the belly with her right paw, and opened her mouth wide, where is what a hare can do.

Taking advantage of the girl's inattention, the fat rabbit jumped up and took the grain cake in his hand into his mouth, the girl was very anxious, and was going to grab it, but the rabbit suddenly looked pitiful, and his stomach kept barking.

The girl's stomach also barked, she tilted her head, and smiled sweetly: "You eat, I don't care, I'm used to it, and I'm still worried about eating it." ”

As if to understand, the rabbit swallowed it in one gulp, and ran into the grass. The girl said goodbye in the direction where the rabbit had disappeared, and after a while, she crouched down and cried softly.

After a long time, the sound of footsteps came from behind her, and the girl suddenly felt a trace of coolness, and when she looked back, she was holding a long fan, with a rabbit-faced mask hanging on her side face, and a charming little girl in white clothes, wasn't it the two-tailed fox who had been guarding directly below the Thunder Pavilion? It turned its true body into a clay statue, and waited quietly for Mu Ziyun and Fang Tianmu to appear.

The two-tailed fox spread out her left hand, and the girl smelled a fragrance, and her eyes flashed with light, it was a small cake, or a meat patty. The girl swallowed, but did not make any request, got up and walked away cautiously.

After walking seven or eight steps and turning around, she found that the man was still following her, and the girl was a little timid, so she took out the last piece of salt, put it on the ground, and said, "I have nothing else, I have always been on the run, you can do it, spare me." "Her father was knocked to death by a rogue on the way to famine.

The two-tailed fox shook its head, its eyes did not see a trace of indifference and animality, but with a convincing warmth, I am afraid that even the twin magic brakes could not believe that the two-tailed fox would behave like this. The two-tailed fox turned to its side and pointed to the mud statue buried in the grass with a long fan, but the girl found that the mud figure was missing, and the two-tailed fox took out three dishes from her side.

The girl clapped her hands and said in surprise: "Are you a fox fairy?" ”

The two-tailed fox smiled and nodded, and the girl excitedly circled around the two-tailed fox seven or eight times, talking a lot of things, and the two-tailed fox opened his mouth and said, "Do you have any wishes?" Want wild vegetables? Or do you want meat? ”

"I..." The girl stopped abruptly, if before, she might have begged Daxian to save her grandmother, but now, she didn't make any wishes, but shook her head and said: "I don't have anything to hope for, I haven't eaten sugar, I used to, but I don't eat it, it melts..."

"So you want a sugar cube?"

"No, if I eat sugar, I will know the taste of sweetness, and I will feel all the bitterness, and I will be fine now."

The two-tailed fox was stunned, its gaze became a little incredulous, it had listened to the girl's statement for nearly three months, and indeed it had never heard the girl's wishes, and the only time was that it only wanted to find tender wild vegetables for grandma to eat. Its heart ached inexplicably, and he didn't know that he was experiencing an emotion that it hadn't seen in several times, in millions of years. No one could have predicted that it would appear this time, and it would be intervened by the black elf, and its body would be reborn because of the soul of the black elf, and it had the memories of living beings, and at the same time it had feelings.

The two-tailed fox gently touched the girl's head, and the girl became much more well-behaved, and only relatives had done this to her. The two-tailed fox spoke: "I'll take you to Jiuquan, so that your soul can be reborn as soon as possible, and in the next life, you won't suffer anymore." ”

"I'm not bitter," the girl said seriously, "I'm used to a lot of things, and I promised my grandmother that I would live like this for a long, long time." ”

The two-tailed fox's hand had already condensed energy, but when it heard the girl's words, it hesitated, and said, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll take you to taste the sweetness first, so that you can choose a sweet life in the future." "It spreads its hand out, and it's a sugar stone.

The girl soon smelled the scent, and despite the drooling water, she looked away, knowing that she could not eat, and that if she did, she would not be able to live any longer. But the moment of hesitation, the sugar stone was stuffed into her mouth by the two-tailed fox. The girl was stunned and did not move for a long time.

The two-tailed fox stood beside him, waiting silently, and there was no reaction for a long time, and when he looked over, he found that the girl was in tears, standing and fainting, and the sweet taste she never understood was so powerful.

The stars crept over the night, and the girl woke up, and her stomach began to scream wildly, as if after a night's sleep, her hunger was gone, but then she smelled the fragrance, and turned her head to see that the two-tailed fox had made a fire, and was roasting a frog, and beside it was a clay pot containing a slow jar of wild vegetable soup.

The two-tailed fox pointed to the jar and said softly, "Eat it, the meat will be ready soon." It didn't turn its head, but soon it heard the sound of gobbling up, and it blew up the fire with relief, and the frog meat became more fragrant.

On the second day, the girl clung to the clay statue and screamed for a long time, and finally called the two-tailed fox out.

"Fox Immortal, I may die soon, but thank you for your hospitality."

"Didn't I say I'd take you to Nine Springs?"

"Where is Nine Springs?"

"It's the road before reincarnation, what you humans call the end of death."

"Is it as painful as grandma?"

The two-tailed fox smiled lightly and lowered his head and replied: "I can take you directly without experiencing any pain, let's go, let's go." ”

The girl hesitated, she clasped her hands together, and begged, "Fox Fairy, I want to make a wish to you." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"I want to live for another three months, there are so many things I want to do, so many things I want to eat, I don't need you to help me, I just want to work hard, even if it's hard, it doesn't matter, it will be over in three months."

"Where do you want to go? What do you want to eat? ”

"I want to eat soybeans! And the legendary tofu! ”

The two-tailed fox frowned, and searched for a long time in his memory, but he didn't find any record of tofu, after all, this is just human food, and the black elves don't eat it at all.

The two-tailed fox didn't know where to find soybeans and tofu, but he still replied: "Find it, I'll accompany you for three months." ”

"Wow! Are you with me? ”

"Hmm."

In this way, the two-tailed fox who chased and killed Mu Ziyun and Fang Tianmu to this point actually left, followed by a five-year-old girl of the human race. The girl was born in a year of famine, and her relatives gave her a blessed name, "Youshi", and as for the surname, they didn't even care anymore.

"Why are you here, Fox Fairy?"

"Waiting for two humans to appear."

"Do what?"

"Kill them."

"Do they suffer too?"

"The world is like suffering, and a thought of reincarnation is a hundred graces."
