Papa Fox's Trouble

She Xiaomei has been a black snake with no parents since she was a child.A snake's daily life is to eat, eat, sleep and sleep, sleep when it is full, and continue to eat when it wakes up. She Xiaomei's snake life was so simple before she was enlightened.

When she became wise, she was already used to life on the mountain, so she didn't envy the life down the mountain that other spirits talked about. A snake should continue to eat, sleep, and simply mess around again. More than 100 years.

During this time, something dangerous happened.One hot summer night, when She Xiaomei was enjoying the cool on the root of a tree, several men in blue clothes with a few red stars pinned to their chests ran up the mountain. Staring blankly at She Xiaomei's... body.

She Xiaomei knew the meaning of those gazes, animals that were starving in winter had such gazes.She Xiaomei weighed each other's strength, and then fled up the mountain.I heard that many people died of starvation in the villages below the mountain!It's not enough for someone to cook a pot for her to escape down the mountain!

Those men were probably panicking from hunger, and they chased She Xiaomei all the way. She had no choice but to flee into the dark and rugged mountain forest, and then successfully escaped from the human pursuit, but she herself was caught by a man who didn't know when. The big mousetrap placed here was caught.

Fortunately, a cat the size of an adult wild dog appeared later, rescued She Xiaomei, and said that if she succeeded in transforming, she would find him in a small village down the mountain. He lived in a farmer's house down the mountain.

She Xiaomei remembered the big cat's kindness, but she didn't plan to go down the mountain.There is nothing good at the bottom of the mountain, no food or drink, and there are burning stoves and iron lumps everywhere, She Xiaomei doesn't like that kind of hot environment very much.

More than ten years later, She Xiaomei woke up one day and inexplicably found herself lying on the ground in a human form.From that day on, She Xiaomei began to live a hard life—she had to learn to walk with human feet and climb trees with human hands every day!Worst of all, she couldn't catch her prey!Dragging four soft "tails" - She Xiaomei thinks that her original tail is more useful than these four extra tails, at least the original tail can forcefully entangle the prey and make her crawl faster, but this The four extra "tails" will only make her hungry!

After tossing around for a while, She Xiaomei, who was so hungry that the whole snake lost weight, finally learned to walk with human limbs!However, when she was looking for food in the middle of the mountain, she was caught by a mountain man.The mountain man was old and had foul-smelling yellow teeth. He had never been able to marry a wife. When he saw the young and beautiful She Xiaomei in the mountains, he had a different idea—he wanted She Xiaomei to be his wife.

She Xiaomei was carried down the mountain by him and locked in the room.The mountain people were afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so they notified their relatives and friends nearby to come over overnight, hoping to marry She Xiaomei that night.When She Xiaomei was on the mountain, she wanted to bite the mountain people to death with one bite. Although she was so hungry that her hands and feet were limp and she had no strength, but her teeth were highly poisonous, and she could easily kill people.But because she wanted to go down the mountain to ask the big cat what was going on with her body, and she didn't have much strength to walk, so she let the mountain people carry her down the mountain.

But when she came to the mountain people's house, she changed her mind—look at the food in the yard (the villagers who came to see the excitement after hearing the news crowded the yard)!Especially when Shanmin's relatives came to help him kill chickens and ducks to organize the wedding banquet, the aroma of all kinds of food wafted far away—She Xiaomei decided that she would nest here until she ate up the food that she had never eaten before. .

That night, She Xiaomei changed into a snake shape (it is easy to change back to her original shape when she is extremely hungry and loses strength) and slipped to a house next door, and found that this family had gone to the wedding banquet next door, and no one was at home, so she opened her mouth with confidence. Belly, swallowed all three hens of this family, and then climbed onto the dark beams of this family and coiled into a ball, motionless and began to digest.

The lively wedding banquet at Shanmin's house lasted until the mid-heaven of the moon. When the banquet was over, he went back to his room and saw that the bride had disappeared!This is terrible, and the whole village was mobilized to look for it, but they didn't find him.

Then the village where the mountain people lived was in bad luck.From time to time, a few chickens, ducks, and even piglets disappeared in the village, but the prisoner was not caught, and the thief was never seen. dirty things.

I just heard that a celestial master is staying in the next village these days, and the respected elders in the village hurriedly sent someone to invite the celestial master over.

Zhang Ziming had just come down from the mountain to experience the world, when he heard that there was a monster in the nearby village, so he rushed to that village obliged.

When I got there, I saw that there was no evil spirit there, but I found that there were a lot of thieves in that village. Zhang Ziming turned around and found nothing unusual, so he offered to leave, but was stopped by the villagers. Don't ask him to read it carefully again.

Zhang Ziming couldn't do it, so he had to look carefully at each room, not to mention, after looking at it this way, he really found some clues.

"I'm afraid some large animals on the mountain have entered the village." Zhang Ziming pointed to a trace of dragging behind a certain house.

The villagers suddenly realized, and hurriedly began to repair the house and the place where the livestock was kept.As a result, She Xiaomei, who came to hunt at night, was puzzled. The villagers blocked up the holes she often haunted. Was it intentional or a coincidence?After lurking in the human village and poaching for so long, She Xiaomei also learned a lot of human vocabulary. She eavesdropped carefully and realized that there is a master celestial master coming!Every night the villagers close their doors and keep an eye on their livestock, it was all instructed by Master Zhang!

After Zhang Ziming left the village, he came to a narrow path. He saw a girl with a pointed chin leaning against the trunk of a big tree by the roadside, staring at him fiercely.

"Mud is Angel Zhang?" The girl's tone was not friendly, but her accent was strange.

Under the girl's fierce stare, Zhang Ziming felt guilty for no reason, and didn't dare to put his eyes on the girl: "I'm Zhang Ziming, I don't know who you are?" This girl is so beautiful, with big and bright eyes, and fair skin. All the girls he met in Yajiao Village (the village he had just left) were all good-looking, but their expressions were a bit fierce.

"Stinky bean (tao) priest!" After hearing his words, the girl rushed towards him without saying a word, but she tripped over a vine on the side of the road before taking two steps, and then her left foot tripped over her right foot, alas With a cry, he fell hard to the ground.

Zhang Ziming quickly went to help her, completely forgetting what his master had told him when he was going down the mountain, "Don't get close to the girls at the bottom of the mountain".

As soon as the girl saw him approaching, she showed fierce eyes and bared her teeth, as if she wanted to pounce on him and bite him.Only then did Zhang Ziming realize the difference between men and women, and stopped in embarrassment: "Girl, are you okay? Can you stand up by yourself?"

The girl stared at him fiercely: "Stinky Bean Man, I don't call you a girl, I'm She Xiaomei! You made me hungry, so you give me back the chicken and duck!"

This girl's brain may not be very good... Zhang Ziming was sure that he had never seen She Xiaomei before, but she would stop him and ask him to return the chicken and duck to her, he must be hungry.Thinking of this, Zhang Ziming took off the package on his shoulder and said, "Miss Xiaomei, I have some dried meat here. If you are hungry, you can eat some, some—"

Zhang Ziming stared dumbfoundedly at She Xiaomei who jumped up to him and snatched the jerky in his hand. The jerky disappeared in the opponent's mouth in an instant. This girl named She Xiaomei seemed to have a bottomless pit in her stomach. Not to mention that the jerky in the meat was clean, he stared at him with dissatisfaction after eating it: "It's delicious! Is there any more?"

Zhang Ziming took out all the jerky in the package, but She Xiaomei was still hungry after she ate it all. Zhang Ziming had no choice but to suggest, "Why don't I go down the mountain and buy some jerky for you?"

"Beautiful!" She Xiaomei agreed immediately, and then followed Zhang Ziming step by step.

"Miss, you want to go down the mountain too?" Zhang Ziming thought to himself, it's okay, let's see if a nearby family lost the girl, and take her to identify the person by the way.

"No!" She Xiaomei stumbled and said: "Follow, I won't let you escape!"

Zhang Ziming couldn't help but laugh, this little beautiful girl just followed him, a strange man, isn't he afraid that he is a kidnapper?The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Zhang Ziming asked tentatively, "Girl, where is your family?"

"Married? No!"

Zhang Ziming is worried. She has no family and her brain is not working well. This girl is alone and has a greedy mouth. She feels that she will be easily lured away by those bad guys!

"Why don't you follow me for a while, girl! Although I, Zhang Ziming, dare not be called a gentleman, but if I am by your side for a day, I will protect you for a day!"

She Xiaomei was taken aback: "Protect me? Don't let me go hungry?"

Zhang Ziming smiled and said, "It's almost like this, girl, would you like it?"

"Yes!" She Xiaomei nodded, "Follow you!" I won't let you escape!

Zhang Ziming smiled, and then took She Xiaomei down the mountain, and started walking all over the place.

After getting along for a long time, Zhang Ziming found that She Xiaomei is very smart and learns things quickly. She is not stupid, but she is seriously ignorant of common sense in the world, and she made a lot of jokes because of it, but as long as you tell her clearly, She can quickly understand, draw inferences about other cases from one instance, and comprehend by analogy.In less than half a year, she was the same as an ordinary girl in the thousands of worlds, but her fierce personality remained the same. Every time she saw those people bullying Zhang Ziming for being honest and loyal and withholding his salary, she would teach them a lesson.She was so strong that several men couldn't beat her, and Zhang Ziming didn't dare to intercede, so he had to watch her beat her up.

Ten years passed in a flash.Soon, Zhang Ziming has been away from the mountain gate for ten years, and will soon return to the mountain gate according to the original agreement.And She Xiaomei followed him for ten years.

After ten years of getting along day and night, Zhang Ziming fell in love with She Xiaomei more and more, and She Xiaomei has always been very protective of him, but the window paper between the two has never been broken.Zhang Ziming has always firmly remembered that when he came down the mountain, his master once told him that his red luan star moved, and that their practitioners had better not involve in love in the world of mortals, otherwise they would be doomed.

Zhang Ziming has practiced for more than 30 years, and his appearance has not aged, and he still looks like he is about 20 years old. However, She Xiaomei is an ordinary person. Although she is young now, she will always grow old. The two are destined not to be together for a lifetime.Birth, old age, sickness and death are hurdles that ordinary people cannot overcome, but their practitioners take the Tao of longevity as the ultimate goal of their life.

The appointed time is getting closer and closer, and there is no longer any delay.Zhang Ziming sat by She Xiaomei's bed for a whole night, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he sighed, and finally left a letter, explaining that he had gone back to the Zongmen, and then left quietly.

After he left, She Xiaomei opened her eyes in the darkness, opened the letter beside the bed, read it, then opened her mouth, swallowed the letter in one gulp, and turned over: "Huh!"
