Chapter 557 If I touch too much, will my tail go bald? (26)
"You little girl!" The second aunt patted her daughter's head. "You can't tell a person's heart from his face, don't you know that?"
Wen Jiujiu and her father stood on the other side. Her eyes frequently lingered on Wen Tingzhi and Zhou Xu. She kept thinking about Wen Ming's words about revealing the true identity of that person. She had a hunch that the person Wen Ming was talking about must be related to her.
Wen Tingzhi and Zhou Xu were also observing each other. It seemed that they both suspected that the other person was the one who was abnormal.
In the room, Bai Yao sat on the stool beside the bed and listened to Second Master Wen talking.
"I told your mother before that they didn't need to come to see me, but I didn't expect that you would come anyway." Second Master Wen was silent for a while, and then he said: "Do you have a good relationship with him?"
Bai Yao nodded and smiled, "Yes, very good, we agreed that when things here are over, he will go down the mountain with me."
Second Master Wen's face paused slightly, and then he laughed out loud, "So, he can actually go down the mountain."
This sentence sounded a little strange, and the emotion in his words was unclear whether it was surprise or relief, and there seemed to be some contradictions.
Second Master Wen's tone was much softer, "Yaoyao, he can't leave you."
Bai Yao raised the corner of her lips, "Of course he can't leave me."
And the blind confidence in her words can be seen to come from the man's dependence on her on weekdays.
Master Wen sighed: "This is really... unbelievable."
After a while, he said: "When I first met him, he was squatting in the yard where you lived, staring at the fallen locust flowers on the ground, and counting all the flowers on the ground."
"I knew at that time that he was very lonely."
"I wanted to be friends with him, but in the end we became debtors and debtors."
"Destiny is really magical."
In Master Wen's words, Bai Yao gradually saw the man's previous appearance in his mind.
He would squat on the ground to count the flowers, climb up the tree to count the green leaves, and sit on the roof, holding his chin and watching the crows flying in the sky one by one.
What's more, he once fought with a wild dog in the mountains, and the reason was simply because the wild dog left a scent in his territory, so he found half a mountain and taught the wild dog a lesson.
Speaking of this, Mr. Wen smiled and said, "I was in poor health, and my parents had strict control over my travel. It was because of him that I had the first time in my life to climb trees to get bird eggs, go to the river to catch fish, and roll on the ground. Now thinking about that time, it was really happy."
He was only six years old when he met Mr. Su. When
a six-year-old child saw the special-looking person under the shadow of the tree, he would not think he saw a monster, but a fairy.
He was at the age of fearlessness, and I don't know who gave him the courage, so he approached and talked to him.
Later, when he was a child, Wen Xiao realized that he had existed in this old house longer than the Wen family.
The Wen family bought this house from a squire named Zhang more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the Wen family happened to come here for business and bought the house. Before that, the legend of the fox fairy was the most popular.
It was a time of famine, and no one could eat enough. There were countless children digging tree barks on the roadside. There was nothing to eat outside, and the hungry people naturally ran to the mountains to compete with wild animals for food.
It is said that many people died in the mouths of wild animals at that time. Everyone knew the danger, but there was no other way to survive.
The Su family was a tenant at the foot of the mountain. With so many children, they were almost unable to survive. The adults and older children were trying to find more food, so the second son of the Su family often went to the mountain.
At that time, they could not even eat, and the poor family did not have the energy to name their children, so the second son was simply called Su Xiaoer.
He always brought something back from the mountain, and everyone said he was lucky and a rare lucky star. It was not until the witch in the village revealed that Su Xiaoer was possessed by a fox demon, and the famine disaster in Baihuai County was brought by the fox demon. In addition, after his death, his true identity as a fox demon was indeed exposed, that everyone realized that he was evil.
Everyone shouted to burn his body.
It was the kind-hearted Zhang Xiangshen who paid for his proper burial. Seeing the pity of the Su family, he even gave them a sum of money.
Unfortunately, many people survived the famine, but the kind-hearted Zhang Xiangshen's relatives all died due to various accidents, and he was the only one who was still alive.
Too many people died during that period, and everyone said that it was the fox demon, so the fox demon became a fox fairy under everyone's fear. People built a temple for him and said that he was a good person, as if this could calm the strange anger.
As for Zhang Xiangshen, he was so discouraged that he sold his old house and disappeared alone.
After saying so much, Master Wen inevitably ran out of energy. He slowed down and looked at Bai Yao. "Today, fewer and fewer people know the stories of fox spirits, but those who have desires can always summon him to appear."
"He will make people's desires come true, but he will also charge a price."
"Yaoyao, what is the price you have to pay?"
Bai Yao didn't even have any questions to ask. She thought about it and answered casually: "The price I pay is probably to be entangled by him for a lifetime."
The old man laughed.
Dealing with smart people is always so simple.
Master Wen said a lot and said he wanted to rest. He asked Bai Yao to leave the room and lie back on the bed.
Unlike his dying life, his eyes were still very clean and beautiful.
He had been in poor health since childhood, and his parents worshipped a fox fairy for him, so he could not leave the mountain. However, a letter sent by mistake began to give his life a different color.
He had a pen pal.
The words on the letter were gentle, graceful and beautiful. The writer must be very good. Every scenery mentioned in the letter made him yearn for it.
However, not long after, he replied less and less frequently. It was not that he did not want to reply, but that his eyes were not good enough.
Before he became blind, the last letter he received was written by a girl in beautiful handwriting: [Can I come to see you?]
From that moment on, he had a desire.
When he realized that Mr. Su was involved with Bai Yao, Wen Xiao could not tell whether he was worried about Mr. Su or Bai Yao.
He knows how painful it is to live alone without his lover.
And Bai Yao will leave this world one day, and he doesn't want the immortal he believed in as a child to bear such worldly suffering.
He and his wife have been together for decades, and he and his wife have felt guilty about their friends every time they look at the grass and trees.
He is the only one in the world who still remembers the "Fox Fairy" and is the only one who still worships the "Fox Fairy". If he dies, the "Fox Fairy" will no longer exist.
Because of this, he sent a signal to those greedy people that he wants to choose an heir to his inheritance. However, apart from this house and the memories in his mind, he has no so-called inheritance.
He wants to help the "Fox Fairy" create a stage built of desire, so that when people think of his name, even if it is out of fear, he can have an objective reason to exist.
Even if he dies, the "Fox Fairy" can continue to live.
Wen Xiao just didn't expect that in the end, the one who could provide the "Fox Fairy" with ties and help the "Fox Fairy" leave the cage built by the mountain and become the "puller" was not because of the desire for money, but because of the "love" of Bai Yao. The
