Chapter 64: Joining the Army
For the honest, or perhaps timid, fox, it will be enough once it feels Gong Mengbi's warning and determination.
Faced with scenes of death and bloodshed, even a fox will follow its heart and run as far away as possible.
The few foxes that did not leave were not there to watch the execution, but for other purposes.
For example, Kang Yunu.
Seeing Kang Wen so majestic, Kang Yunu felt mixed emotions and didn't know whether to ask Kang Wen about his recent situation.
She was still hesitating, but Kang Wen came first.
"Sister!" Kang Wen stepped forward and took Kang Yunu's hand, saying, "I saw you just now, but Master Fox was busy with important matters, so it was difficult for him to recognize you."
Kang Yunu glanced at Kang Wen in surprise and said, "Is this still my sister Kang Wen?"
Kang Wen blushed a little and said, "I misunderstood my sister a lot."
I felt uncomfortable before I said it, but after I said it, I felt at ease.
Kang Wen admitted his fault and said, "I was too bookish, too smart, and pretended to be profound, which hurt our sisterly friendship. It was thanks to my sister that she put aside the past grudge and introduced me to Master Zhao."
"I spent a month patrolling Wuning County with Young Master Zhao. Thanks to his guidance, I finally understood that everything is a learning process and that everything has its merits. Yesterday, Young Master Zhao returned to the mountain and introduced me to Master Fox Club. Now I work under him."
Kang Yunu was somewhat relieved, but also felt a little uncomfortable: "If I had known that there was such a fate, I would probably not be willing to recommend it to you."
Kang Wen smiled and said, "It's not too late now. The Fox Division is in need of manpower. Look at those people over there. They've already thought of this, so they're unwilling to leave."
Kang Yunu was also tempted, but thinking of Zhao Yuniang at home, she could only decline: "I have a close friend in the boudoir who is alone. If I come to work for the Fox Society, I am afraid she will be sad alone."
Kang Wen felt a little sour for a moment: "What kind of close friend is this? My sister is willing to give up her bright future for her?"
Kang Yunu hesitated, but still told the story of how she and Zhao Yuniang met and depended on each other.
Kang Wen was overwhelmed with emotions: "After leaving me, my sister got another sister."
Kang Yunu quickly said: "That's not the case...but she needs me."
Kang Wen regretted his arrogance in forcing Kang Yunu to leave, but it was not too late now: "Since Miss Zhao needs me, I will accompany her first. I will also think of a way to see if I can guide Miss Zhao back to the right path, so that I don't have to worry so much."
The two sisters chatted, and another group of foxes that stayed behind also gathered together.
Among them was the clever white-footed fox.
The white-footed fox first pretended to leave, and when most of the foxes in front of the altar had left, he turned back.
But he didn't expect that when he came back, he found several other foxes waiting to give him food. When they saw him coming, they immediately smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't leave."
The white-footed fox laughed and said, "What are you doing here?"
The foxes said, "We knew you wouldn't leave, so we wanted to see what you were going to do. We'll do whatever you do."
The white-footed fox snorted and said, "Learn from the cleverness of others."
Ignoring these scheming fox demons, the white-footed fox stepped forward first, bowed before Gong Mengbi, and said, "Master Fox Association, is the Fox Division still short of staff? Is the Fox Courtyard still short of servants? I live in Bailu Village and live next door to an accountant. I can read a few words and do some accounting. I beg Master Gong to take me in."
The white-footed fox had already made an example, and the other foxes followed directly and bowed down: "We are willing to serve the master of the fox association and beg the master of the fox association to take us in."
Gong Mengbi could see through their little thoughts, but he didn't feel disgusted.
It is the nature of a fox to be smart, but it takes a certain amount of courage to withstand the fear in his heart and face Gong Mengbi to recommend himself.
After all, Gong Mengbi did not show himself to be a purely kind person, nor was he someone who could be manipulated.
Gong Mengbi pondered and said, "The Wuning County Fox Bureau is just being established, so we really don't have enough manpower. We'll be busy with work soon, and we'll definitely need more labor."
"Since you are willing to serve me, I will give you a chance. From today until Fox Academy opens, you will stay with Kang Wen and help him. For three months, I will see how you perform. If you satisfy me, I will keep you. If not, then go to Fox Academy and study hard."
The white-footed fox immediately showed a delighted expression and said, "Thank you very much, sir! I will do my best to discipline you to your satisfaction."
Gong Mengbi called out, "Kang Wen."
Kang Wen walked closer, took a look at the foxes, and said, "Leave it to me."
The white-footed fox immediately flattered, "Sister Kang, if you have anything, just tell us."
Kang Wen glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "Your first priority is to control your slickness. It won't be easy to gain the adults' appreciation if you're so impetuous."
The white-footed fox was embarrassed, but still greeted her with a smile, saying, "Sister, you are right. I will definitely change."
Kang Wen became the chief steward of the little foxes and felt very satisfied.
But seeing how cunning the white-footed fox was, he couldn't help but be alert: "This guy is so cunning, I still have to be careful. I can't get carried away and let him step on my head."
In the blink of an eye, Gong Mengbi's subordinates went from having only one fox to being able to form a small team.
As for the Five Ghosts, they can be used if there is no one available, but because they are retainers, it is not advisable to always use them to manage foxes.
When I had something in mind, I saw the five ghosts returning one after another.
The five ghosts and gods are tall, and because they have divine appearances, there are always some smoke and clouds surrounding their bodies, making them look quite majestic.
Behind them, fox warriors with fox heads and human bodies carried the evil foxes one by one to the front of the execution platform and held them at Gong Mengbi's feet.
Gong Mengbi shook his sleeves, and the fox warriors turned into straw men again, crawled into his sleeves and disappeared.
The five ghost gods stepped forward and reported: "Master, the culprit fox has been captured."
The black-clothed ghost said, "There are some clever ones among them, like this lustful fox. After obtaining the fox talisman, he dragged his family away and tried to escape. However, there were too many people and they moved slowly, so I chased them out of the county and caught them back."
The lascivious fox in brocade, to whom the black-clad demon pointed, howled, "Ah Jiao, Ah Jiao, I shall never see you again."
Kang Wen listened to his wailing and asked, "Are you the lecherous vixen who stole someone's daughter, seized their property, and then drove them out to beg?"
The lustful fox cried, "A beautiful girl like Ah Jiao, only I can make her happy. It's that old man who doesn't know the current situation and refuses to marry his daughter to me."
Kang Wen said, "You don't even have a human form, how dare he marry his daughter to you?"
"The poor old man couldn't forget his daughter. He went looking for her every day, but you kept hitting him back. Now that you've been caught, your daughter, Ah Jiao, must be overjoyed."
The lustful fox angrily said, "Nonsense, Gillian and I are very loving, very loving!"
