Once upon a time, there was a small castle in a place called Zhongshan near our village. It is said that an old man named Zhongshan lives here.
In the mountains not far from Zhongshan Castle, there lived a little fox named Ah Quan. Ah Quan had no relatives, so he made a hole in the forest full of ferns as his home. No matter at night or during the day, it often goes to nearby villages. Sometimes it will scrape sweet potatoes in the fields, sometimes it will set a fire on the dried rape stalks, and sometimes it will tear off the peppers hanging in front of farmers' houses. In short, it does all kinds of naughty things.
This autumn, it rained for two or three days in a row, which made Ah Quan unable to go out to play and had to squat in the cave. As soon as it was cleaned, it climbed out of the hole as if it were saved. Outside the cave, Wan Li blue sky, from time to time came the chirp of shrike.
Quan Yi Road ran to the small river bank in the village. Glittering raindrops are still hanging on the grass around the dog's tail. The stems of Setaria viridis and Lespedeza by the river never soak in water. Now it is also washed with turbid yellow water, which looks very messy.
Ah Quan walked along the muddy path to the river. Suddenly he saw a man standing by the river doing something. Afraid that he would find out, Ah Quan crept into the grass and hid there motionless to spy out.
Oh, it's ice stone! Ah Quan thought. Ice stone rolled up the hem of the black kimono, dipped in waist-deep water and shook the fishing net. His head is wrapped in a cloth towel, and a round piece of Ye Er Lespedeza sticks to one side of his face, just like a big mole.
After a while, the ice stone lifted a pocket-shaped thing at the end of the fishing net from the water, which was filled with grass leaves, rotten sawdust and other messy things, but he could still see shiny things on both sides-oh, it was the belly of big eel and big crucian carp. Ice stone threw these eels and crucian carp into the fish basket together with messy things, then tied the bag tightly and put it into the water again.
Bing Shi came ashore from the river with a fish basket, put the fish basket on the river bank and ran towards the upper reaches of the river as if looking for something.
After the soldiers left, Ah Quan tried to play tricks again. It roared out of the grass, ran to the fish basket, caught the fish in the basket and threw them one by one into the downstream river where the fishing net was located. All the fish plopped into the muddy water.
Finally, there is a big eel left. Ah Quan stretched out his claws to catch it, but the fish was slippery and could not be caught with his claws. Ah Quan is in a hurry. He put his head into the fish basket and bit the eel head in one bite. The eel screamed and wrapped itself around Ah Quan's neck. Just then, there was a bawl from the ice room:
"Hum! You thief fox! "
Ah Quan jumped with fear, but the eel clung to its neck. Ah Quan had to quickly flash to one side and escape to the mangrove near his cave. Looking back, the ice stone didn't catch up.
Quan Song breathed a sigh of relief, bit the head of the eel, finally freed himself, and then threw the eel on the grass at the mouth of the cave.
2 The Story of Fox Quan (2)
Ten days later, when Ah Quan walked behind the farmer Mijie's house, he saw Mijie's wife dyeing her teeth under the fig village. When he passed the house of blacksmith recruit Wei again, he saw the wife of the new ordnance worker combing her hair.
Well, is there anything wrong in the village? Ah Quan thought: What is it? Is it Mid-Autumn Festival? You should hear drums and flutes, not to mention that shops should hang flags.
Ah Quan wanted to go, but unconsciously he came to the front of the ten soldiers with Hongjingtai at the door and saw many people gathered in the small shack. Some women in Japanese clothes and cloth towels around their waists made a fire in front of the stove at the door. Something is bubbling in the pot.
Ah, this is a funeral! Ah Quan thought, Who died among the ten soldiers? As soon as noon arrived, Ah Quan ran to the village cemetery and hid behind the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. It's a fine day today, and the roof tiles of the distant castle are shining in the sun. On the cemetery, Lycoris radiata flowers are in full bloom, just like a layer of red cloth on the ground. At this time, there was a bell in the village, which was a signal for the funeral.
After a while, I began to see the white funeral procession, and the sound was near. The procession entered the cemetery, and the Lycoris radiata was trampled down where people walked.
Ah Quan stood on tiptoe and saw Bing Shi wearing white mourning clothes and holding a spirit tablet. That face, which is usually as red as a potato and looks full of energy, has somehow become listless today.
Ah, the dead is the frozen mother! The school thought about it and shrank its head back.
That night, Ah Quan thought in the cave:
When the mother in the ice room was sleeping in bed, she must really want to eat eel, so the ice room took out the fishing net, and I took the eel as a prank and told her not to eat fish. His mother must have died like this, thinking about eating eels when she died. Oh, I shouldn't have made that joke!
In the past, it was popular for Japanese women to dye their teeth black, which was very beautiful.
(2) A sacrificial ceremony held after the autumn to thank God for the abundant grain harvest.
3 The Story of Fox Quan (3)
Ice stone is panning rice at Hongjingtai.
Ten years ago, Bing and his mother lived a poor life. After his mother died, he was alone.
Ice stone is as lonely as me! Ah Quan looked at the ice stone from behind the barn and thought.
Ah Quan just left the barn and was about to run to the ice room. I don't know where the cries of selling sardines came from:
"Sardines are very cheap! Fresh sardines! "
Ah Quan ran in the direction of shouts again. At this moment, Mijie's wife greeted at the door:
"Get some sardines!"
The sardine seller parked his car with a sardine basket on the side of the road and walked into Misuke's house with shiny sardines in his hands. Ah Quan took this opportunity to catch five or six sardines from the fish basket, ran in the direction where he had just come, threw the fish in through the back door of Bing Shi Jia, and then ran back to his cave. On the way, he looked back from the top of a soil slope and saw a small figure of ice stone. He was still scouring wheat by the well.
Ah Quan felt that he had done the first good thing and made up for the frozen eels.
The next day, Ah Quan picked many chestnuts on the mountain and took them to ten soldiers. It looks in through the back door, and Bingshi is having lunch. I saw him holding a bowl, stupefied thinking about something. Strangely, Bing Shi still has some injuries on his cheek. While guessing the cause of his injury, I heard the soldier ten muttered:
"Who threw sardines into my house? As a result, the fishmonger was beaten as a thief. "
Hearing this, Ah Quan thought, This is terrible. The poor soldier must have been beaten and injured by the fishmonger, right? As he thought about it, he quietly went around the barn, put the chestnuts at the door, and then went back.
Later, Ah Quan picked chestnuts for two days and gave them to ten soldiers. Later, not only chestnuts were sent, but also two or three mushrooms were sent every day.
4 The Story of Fox Quan (4)
That night, when the moon was bright, Ah Quan went out for a walk again. It was walking not far from Master Zhongshan's castle when he heard the sound of the golden pipa, as if someone was coming along the path.
Ah Quan hid by the side of the road, holding his breath and listening to the approach of the voice.
"Oh, I remember, Kosuke!" This is the sound of ice stone.
"Ah?"
"A very strange thing happened recently."
"What is it?"
"Since my mother died, I don't know who sent chestnuts and mushrooms to my house every day."
"oh? Who did that? "
"Just don't know! I put down my things and left without knowing. "
Ah Quan followed the two men quietly. Listen to add help and ask again:
"Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. If you think I'm lying, come and have a look tomorrow-I'll show you that chestnut! "
"Hey, what a strange thing!"
Speaking of which, the two of them stopped talking about life and just walked. After a while, Kang Jie turned back casually. Ah Quan quickly stopped and curled up. JiaJie didn't notice, or walked quickly. When they arrived at the door of a farmer named Kichibee, they went in. The sound of knocking wooden fish came from the room, and the light reflected the shaking shadow of the monk's big bald head on enough paper.
Oh, it's chanting. Ah Quan thought and squatted down on the well platform. After a while, three people went into Ji Bingwei's house together.
The sound of chanting came from the room.
(1) the legendary monster.
5 The Story of Fox Quan (5)
Ah Quan has been squatting by the well platform until the end of chanting. Bing Shi and Jia Jie went home together again. Ah Quan wanted to hear what they said, so he followed them and hid in the shadow of the ice stone.
Before coming to the castle, I helped to speak:
"What I just said must have been done by a fairy."
"Ah?" Ice stone was surprised to see the face of Yoshisuke.
"I have been thinking just now: this can't be a person, it must be a fairy. The immortal thinks you are lonely and pitiful, so he gives you all kinds of things. "
"Right?"
"Of course! So you'd better worship the gods every day. "
"hmm."
Ah Quan thought at this moment: Hey, this guy is full of shit! I sent him chestnuts and mushrooms, but he didn't respect me, but he wanted to worship some fairy. I don't count!
6 The Story of Fox Quan (6)
The next day, Ah Quan came with ten soldiers with chestnuts. Bing Shi was rubbing a straw rope in the barn, so Quan slipped into his house through the back door. At this moment, soldier eleven looked up and said, Ah, a fox ran into the house! Quan, the fox who stole my eel last time, is making trouble again!
"good!" Bing Shi stood up, took down the matchlock gun hanging in the warehouse, loaded it with gunpowder, and then crept forward and shot Ah Quan who was about to make a dash for the door.
Bing Shi came running and saw a pile of chestnuts lying at the door. He couldn't help looking at Quan in surprise.
"Ah, it's you who keeps sending me chestnuts, isn't it, Quan?"
O all close your eyes and nodded feebly.
The matchlock guns in the hands of the ten soldiers fell to the ground with a bang, and the muzzle was still smoking.
7 little fox's thoughts after reading it.
We should cherish the friendship between friends in life and try our best to fulfill our promises to others. Although the fox is very naughty, I think he is a kind fox who knows his mistakes and can correct them. He should learn from Fox's excellent qualities of knowing his mistakes, being good at discovering his shortcomings and correcting them in time. Only in this way can he become an excellent student. Although the fox has various personalities, he has a naughty heart and a kind heart. We humans should love small animals and care more about them. Harmony between human and animal souls.
