Chapter 107 Fox Fairy
Du Maozi looked at Du Biao's sharp eyes and wondered if he was pretending too much and was discovered?
"Biao, Master Biao!" He was so nervous that he bit his tongue as soon as he opened his mouth, and tears came out in pain.
With tears in her eyes, she said with her tongue sticking out: "Master Biao, I, I found the Fox Fairy!"
Du Biao tightened his hand holding the cigarette and asked, "Where did you find it?"
"In the Zhongxing Brigade, your current identity is an educated youth, and your name is Xia Zhizhi." Du Maozi handed over the note that he was given when he took over the task.
Du Biao took it and looked at it, and saw that it was just the identity information of an ordinary educated youth.
He remembered what Xia Zhizhi had said before, "My last name is Xia now."
I can't help but wonder, what was it called before?
Du Biao asked: "Did you find out any other information?"
Du Maozi was stunned. He was so frightened when he saw it that he ran back in a hurry. He had no time to find out other news.
But I definitely can't say this: "I heard that he has a good personality, but his health is not very good. He doesn't go out much on weekdays... I didn't dare to ask more about other things. After all, the immortal has seen me. If I ask too much, I'm afraid the immortal will be unhappy."
"I'm not feeling well..." Du Biao rubbed his chin with his hand and thought for a long time.
Du Maozi had no idea what was going on in his mind, and he didn't dare to urge him.
After a long while, Du Biao finally looked at Du Maozi and said, "Okay, I get it. You did a good job on this matter. I'll give you a few days off. You should take good care of your injuries. During these few days, you can go to Dacai to get some rice and oil, and go home to visit your family."
He didn't doubt that Du Maozi was so miserable just to act him out. After all, given the fox fairy's personality of slapping people in the face at the slightest disagreement, Du Maozi was showing mercy by inflicting such a small injury.
Seeing how miserable Du Maozi was, he even felt a little happy in his heart. After all, he was not the only one getting beaten.
Du Maozi bowed and took his leave, then went to get rice and oil. He thought it would be good to be given twenty or thirty kilograms of rice and flour and two or three kilograms of oil.
Unexpectedly, he was given 100 kilograms of rice, a ten-kilogram bucket of oil, a large pork leg, and 20 yuan, saying that he should go see a doctor, then rest well at home for two days, and come back after he recovered, because Master Biao would use him.
Today he was also allowed to continue riding the office bike.
He didn't have a proper job before and just hung around the streets all day. None of the people he knew looked up to him.
His father got so angry that he wanted to hit him with a broom, and threatened that if he continued to behave like this, he would cut off all ties with him.
Only his mother scolded him while leaving holes in his head.
He tied the rice bag to the back seat of the bicycle, tied the oil drum to the front bar, hung the pig leg on the handlebars, and returned to his yard while riding and ringing the bell.
I have experienced what it means to be welcomed in a roundabout way.
The neighbors all say that he has made great progress.
I had a drink with his father in the evening. His father said that he was smart since he was young and it was obvious that he was more capable than his other brothers.
While eating the meat, his grandma said frankly that he was her most beloved grandson.
Only her mother, after cleaning up the dishes, looked at his bruised face and wanted to say something but stopped. Seeing that he was impatient to leave, she reached out and held him back: "Maozi, what are you doing outside? Let's go home. No matter how poor our family is, we still have you to eat and keep us from starving..."
"Hey, don't you know me yet? It's okay, don't worry." Du Maozi took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to her: "Take it for emergency use, and don't tell my dad."
Then he went back to the house and fell asleep.
The Du family learned the true information about Xia Zhizhi and split their forces into two groups. One group sent people to Yang City to inquire about her, while the other group sent people to the village to continue to inquire about her.
The group of people who went to Yang City looked for Xia Zhizhi's classmates and neighbors to inquire. The classmate they found was Li Ling, who was said to have the best relationship with Xia Zhizhi.
Li Ling had a filter for Xia Zhizhi. When she talked about Xia Zhizhi, she felt so distressed: "My classmate, her personality was as soft as a dough ball, she was pretty and gentle, she was very considerate, but she was also very hardworking. She didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes at home, she had to get up before dawn every day to do housework, and she had to endure bullying. Her parents wanted to marry her to an old man in exchange for a dowry, so she had to go to the countryside..."
The person who went to inquire about the news came back and told Grandma Du the truth, that the girl came from an ordinary working-class family, was unloved by her father and mother, and was a gentle, shy and timid person, and was usually the most honest person.
The people who inquired in the village told a completely different story. The summary was that Xia Zhizhi was sick, naughty, lazy, greedy, and had money. The background that Xia Zhizhi made up in the village was completely different from her real background.
All the adult males in the Du family gathered in the main hall today.
The old lady of the Du family, the four old men of the Du family, Du Biao’s cousins, and Du Biao’s adult nephews.
I don’t sleep at night and the whole family holds a meeting.
A Wolong with a big imagination said: "Is it possible that Xia Zhizhi's parents in Yang City have nothing to do with the fox fairy, and the fox fairy is talking about her own real relatives."
Du Biao added: "She told me that her surname is Xia now. Does that mean that the surname she is using now is Xia?"
"It is said that Xia Zhizhi was in good health when she was in Yang City."
“I started to feel weak after I arrived at the educated youth camp.”
Another Feng Chi added: "It is said that she is not very enthusiastic about other people in the educated youth center, but she seems to be very fond of the two female comrades Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong. These two female comrades are the same as Xia Zhizhi... They are both very good-looking."
A young boy suddenly realized: "So she actually regarded these two female lesbians as her substitute bodies?"
“It’s possible!”
"The real Xia Zhizhi..."
"I'm afraid it's long gone."
"Is the fox fairy actually wearing her skin?"
"There are similar records in supernatural books, so... it shouldn't be groundless, right?"
A Zhonghu also understood: "She always takes medicine, it must be to maintain her skin. After all, it will not be fresh after a long time."
“Very likely!”
"Maybe when this skin becomes completely unusable, she will change into the skin of Jiang Xiurong or Han Youran!"
"right!"
The whole family stayed up late at night, gathered together to tell ghost stories, which were so terrifying that they made their hair stand on end.
One of Du Biao's greasy cousins, Du Zhang, felt that the atmosphere was not good and decided to make a joke to ease the tension: "Biaozi, you have touched that immortal, how does it feel?"
“…”
"It doesn't look like a human..."
Du Biao thought about the time when he was holding Xia Zhizhi's arm. The touch was so soft and thin. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like there was something wrapped under the thin skin.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xia Zhizhi was almost laughed to death by this family.
They have been investigating in the village these days. Although they have been doing it very covertly and not easily discovered by ordinary people, she is not an ordinary person.
So, she closed the door early in the evening, took a shower, put on some perfume, climbed out the window, and rode Ah Ju to their house to listen to crosstalk.
These two are really talented, and you can tell they are their biological children without any verification.
She sat on the beam, shaking her legs, and said crisply, "Oh, you guessed it right. What should I do? Should I kill him to silence him?"
The Du family, young and old, all raised their heads in unison, like sunflowers.
Then I saw a pair of women's legs hanging on the beam. The exposed ankle looked horribly pale under the light, and the leg was shaking.
How is this different from telling a ghost story and leaving the question in suspense, only to turn around and find the ghost whispering in your ear, "And then?"
Suddenly, everyone's hair exploded like hedgehogs.
Du Biao's cousin Du Shan pulled out a gun from his waistband, held it with trembling hands, and said to Xia Zhizhi: "I, I'm not afraid of you!"
The old lady of the Du family wanted to say something, but she couldn't catch up.
Xia Zhizhi broke off a piece of wood from the beam and threw it at him: "It would be fine if you didn't welcome a friend from afar, but you actually dared to point a gun at me, a fellow revolutionary. You really make me sad. I am very disappointed in you!"
The pieces of wood broken off by hand are irregular like shuttles and inserted directly into the juniper head.
Du Shan's biological father, Du Taikang, quickly snatched his gun and threw it to the ground, then kicked him far away and pushed Du Shan: "You rebellious son, kneel down!"
