Meng Juanjuan rubbed her eyes, her voice heavy with sleepiness: "Auntie, where are you going so late?"
Meng Xi paused as she opened the door, her voice hoarse, as if she were rubbing against glass: "Going to the toilet."
"Oh, do you want me to go with you?" Meng Juanjuan sat up and asked vaguely. The toilet in Baihu Village was a dry toilet, located in the courtyard. There were no lights outside, so it was quite dark, and her aunt was afraid of the dark.
Meng Xi: "No need, you go to sleep."
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Juanjuan felt an irresistible drowsiness surge up from her body. Her eyelashes blinked slowly, and the next second she fell asleep on the floor.
Meng Xi walked out the door with stiff steps. Suddenly, a melodious flute sound came from outside the courtyard gate. Accompanied by a slight click, the gate of the courtyard next to hers was opened, and an older woman wearing a floral shirt was the first to walk out.
Following behind her was an older man and several teenagers around fifteen or sixteen years old. Their eyes were vacant and their steps were stiff as they walked step by step in the direction from which the flute music came.
Meng Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and she silently followed behind her.
at the same time.
Nan Yuanman squatted on the ground, raising his hand and then his foot with a confused expression. However, because he was not familiar with his own limbs, he tripped over his own and fell to the ground with a thud.
Her round, fluffy body rolled forward uncontrollably and slammed into a fluffy "wall".
The blow made her see stars and feel dizzy. She didn't react for a long time. Just then, a large, furry paw nudged her, and a clear, melodious voice with a hint of coquettishness rang out: "Brother Bai, is Xiao Liu an idiot?"
"She's been born for so many days, and all the other babies are already grabbing milk, but she's a step behind. She can't even walk steadily yet, and she looks kind of silly."
Nan Yuanman was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her head while covering it with her paws. What she saw was a huge red fox with exceptionally beautiful fur, and a white fox crouching beside her.
Seeing her silly expression, the red fox looked even more worried: "Why don't we take Xiao Liu to the village and have a human doctor take a look at him?"
"Human doctors are very skilled at treating illnesses, they can definitely cure Xiao Liu's stupidity."
The white fox hesitated: "But didn't the clan chief tell us that the villagers of Hundred Fox Village are not the same as they were two hundred years ago? They have received our kindness, but they are greedy and insatiable. Didn't he tell us not to have any contact with them?"
"If the chieftain finds out that we took the cubs to humans for treatment... he'll be angry."
"I think humans are pretty good. They're very friendly to me; they even gave me a chicken to eat before! Yuzhen's death can't be blamed on them! She herself fell for humans and wanted to be with them..." The red fox pursed her lips, changing the subject:
"In conclusion, Yuzhen was also at fault."
They have lived and thrived alongside the villagers of Hundred Fox Village for nearly two hundred years. When she was a child, she accidentally got her leg caught in a trap and was rescued by humans, which made her suddenly unable to trust humans... It's still a bit difficult.
not to mention……
"Xiao Liu can't stay this stupid forever, can he?"
It took Nan Yuan a lot of effort to understand what the red fox and the white fox meant. She immediately realized that she was probably dreaming again, or that she had fallen into an illusion created by someone else.
So, is she dreaming about Hundred Fox Village from a hundred years ago?
Nan Yuanman blinked and retorted in a childish voice, "I'm not stupid."
"Oh, look, Little Six can talk now." The white fox said happily, "As long as she can talk, she's not stupid. Even if she is stupid, it doesn't matter. As her father, I will take care of her for the rest of my life."
The red fox looked helpless, but her gaze towards Nan Yuanman was gentle and doting. She stuck out her tongue and gently licked Nan Yuanman: "Alright, keep her. I can hunt and raise her too..."
Nan Yuanman was caught off guard and covered in saliva, the stench making her dizzy. When she came to her senses, her body had already grown up.
At that moment, the scene before her eyes changed.
She was lying on the corpse of the red fox. When Nan Yuanman came to her senses, what came into her eyes was the bloody hole in the red fox's body.
Nan Yuanman was stunned. She subconsciously reached out and gently pushed her: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Wake up."
The red fox remained motionless.
Soon, she sensed the deathly aura emanating from the red fox. Nan Yuanman blinked slowly, feeling an inexplicable sadness that made it hard for her to breathe.
How... how did he die?
Wasn't she just discussing with the white fox about taking her to see a doctor?
Nan Yuanman burst into tears, and she opened her mouth to wail, "You...you mustn't die! Isn't this a dream? Wake up!"
“Perfect, perfect…” Feng Langqing’s anxious voice suddenly rang in Nan Yuanman’s ears.
He looked anxiously at the little girl who was hugging an eggplant doll, crying so hard her lips were pursed. He hurriedly picked her up and gently patted her back: "Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your brother is here."
"Rusty fur, baby won't be scared..."
Nan Yuanman cried her way back to reality from her 'dream,' grabbing Feng Langqing's collar and sobbing, "Third...Third Brother, he's dead, Little Honghong is dead."
"Little Red Red? Red Wolf? It's okay, Gray Wolf will save her." It was the first time Feng Langqing had ever coaxed a child, and he was sweating profusely, completely unaware of what he was saying.
Nan Yuanman hugged Feng Langqing's neck and sobbed a few times. Her long, thick eyelashes were wet with tears and clumped together, almost sticking her eyes together.
She gradually calmed down under Feng Langqing's comforting words. Just as Feng Langqing breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard the melodious and captivating sound of a flute.
Feng Langqing instinctively hugged Nan Yuanman tighter, his ears perked up: "Yuanman, did you hear that? The sound of a flute."
"Damn it, which bastard is playing the flute in the middle of the night to show off?" Feng Langqing couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
Nan Yuanman nestled in his arms, her baby voice slightly hoarse from crying: "I heard you."
She wiped away her tears and patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Brother, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
She listened intently for a while, and inexplicably found the flute music very irritating.
Nan Yuanman frowned, broke free from Feng Langqing's embrace, stared at the tightly closed window for a few seconds, and said, "Brother, I want to go and see where that flute music is coming from."
Feng Langqing: "!!!"
Feng Langqing timidly said, "Shall we go during the day? It's so late at night... Grandpa Hu warned us not to go out..."
Nan Yuanman didn't speak, but just stared at him with her big, watery eyes. Feng Langqing couldn't continue, so he raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, let's go, I'll go with you!"
Nan Yuanman smiled sweetly, pouted and gave him a quick kiss: "Third brother is the best!"
Feng Langqing sighed, quickly changed him and Nan Yuanman into new clothes, and carried her with one arm to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the door next to his also opened.
Jiang Chuyun took Jiang Xinxin's hand and slowly walked out.
Feng Langqing: "?"
What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to go out at night? Why is everyone out?
Feng Langqing called out, "Hey! Jiang Chuyun, where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Jiang Chuyun and Jiang Xinxin didn't say a word or turn around, and walked forward mechanically.
Feng Langqing: "???" Oh my god! Is this some kind of party in the middle of the night to isolate him and Yuanman?
Feng Langqing gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and put his hand on Jiang Chuyun's shoulder: "Jiang Chu..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Chuyun stopped, slowly turned her head, and stared at him with her eyes rolled back.
Feng Langqing: "!!!"
I went out during the day today! So the update is a little late. I'm going out again tomorrow, so I might have to take the day off!
