On the unfortunate days in the underworld

Ah Chun left home when he was young, his local accent has not changed, and his mane has not grown out. The old man may not know him when he sees him. It should have been smooth sailing, sailing straight to the sea, but who knew that the boat capsized halfway, and it was still quiet. Yes, the kind where no one can see even a single wave.

"Ah, that," Ah Chun, after leading them around in a dense primitive forest for more than three hours, finally looked up to the sky and sighed, and asked with his hips akimbo: "Where are we?"

When she said this, Xiao Changlu's face was already dark, and Huiming stood in front of her knowingly, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, and said with a friendly look: "It's okay, it's okay, Ah She may have been away for too long, and her mind is a little unclear, just rest for a while, hey, there is a stone here, let's sit down..."

Just as he was speaking, Xiao Changlu "just happened" to walk to the side of the stone, with his feet slightly off, and kicked the stone into powder.

"Let's stand here and think more clearly like this," Huiming said in a sly way, and then he and Ah Chun were close to each other, like two little quails that have not yet emerged from their nests. He touched his neck, and then retracted in an instant.

"You're right, aren't you familiar with the road here? Didn't you grow up here?" Huiming lightly poked Ah Chun's arm with his finger.

"Then how can this be accurate? I was still young when I left, and I seemed to be sick," Ah Chun muttered, and then she carefully reviewed the scene when she left, only remembering that she was tightly held by her mother. Hugged in my arms, I couldn't see anything clearly, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the branches, and the rest was the warm heartbeat of my mother.

Plop, plop, it seems that something keeps popping up in her mind, and the looming childhood memories start to flash in front of her eyes one after another, child, you remember, if you want to go home in the future, you must go through this Along the dense forest, along the place where the sun shines, the road will slowly appear in front of you by reciting the songs handed down from the family.

"The stars are bright, the wind is clear, along the Milky Way to the magpie bridge. The fish jump, the wind laughs, the dog walks on the cat. The birds fly, the wind cries, follow the rabbit and don't get lost. The sun, the moon, the moon, and the Chen take turns Turn around, the sun is at the end of the road."

Ah Chun was muttering words, and her eyes unconsciously looked down, and then she found that the shadow of the sun shining through the leaves was somewhat familiar, and when she looked carefully, it really looked a bit like the stars in the sky, and then she stood on it unconsciously, A gust of wind blew her hair to the left, and along the direction of the wind, a large piece of scattered and cut-off shadows appeared in her sight, which indeed looked like the Milky Way mentioned in the ballad.

"Shangmagpie bridge, fish, dog..." Ah Chun read, her eyes fixed on the ground, and she followed her footsteps. When she stopped looking at the dense and ever-changing forest, her mind instead Sober up a lot, and slowly found a feeling of going home.

At first, Huiming thought her neck was crooked, and kept looking at the ground, but after hearing her muttering, he thought she was insane, and just about to go up and pat her, Xiao Changlu raised his head and stopped him.

"Follow her." Before Xiao Changlu could finish his voice, the man followed her.

The two of them followed Ah Chun and walked around in a seemingly circular pace. In Huiming's eyes, their walking like this was equivalent to a straight turn. Anyway, no matter how they went around, they were constantly repeating the origin, the shape of a tree. The same, the grass is blown in the same direction by the wind, and even the rhythm of the mouse squatting under the shade of the tree turning its belly and belching has not changed.

When he was already dizzy, a sudden burst of dazzling sunlight enveloped his whole body. For some reason, the previously dense and endless forest seemed to retreat a few miles suddenly, and a large open space appeared In front of them, another burst of fog rose from the ground, completely covering the way they came.

"Look, there is a house in front." Huiming said loudly, he is always willing to share his discoveries at the first time, although often others are many times faster than him.

"The room is empty." Ah Chun said with a frown.

"At least it's been decades since I moved away." Xiao Changlu said with a similar frown.

Huiming felt that these two people had an indescribable similarity at this moment, and seemed to be a little out of sync. Just as he was trying to find some topics to ease the embarrassment, he found a huge black shadow gradually emerging from the ground in the middle of the open space. When you come out, it looks like the branches are luxuriant, the green is lush, and the bark surface is so smooth that the reflected sunlight is dazzling.

"Ah, this is a big banyan tree." Huiming quickly judged its species with his rich miscellaneous knowledge, but before he was allowed to interpret it further, the movements of the fox and one person were surprisingly consistent.

"Bang!" "Crack!"

Xiao Changlu stepped up and kicked the tree to the ground. Ah Chun pressed the top of Mount Tai and pushed half of the tree back to the ground. It must not be a good thing to grow up here.

"You guys can still do this." Huiming knew that they were unreasonable, but he didn't know that they were so unreasonable. He felt that there was a barbaric blood flowing in the bones of these two people. After staying with him for so long, he didn't feel the slightest harm. purification.

"Hey..." The tree propped itself up with its thick branches, and its body was miraculously broken into two pieces, as if a person was sitting on the ground, rubbing the fallen bark , tears suddenly formed on his face, and he cried with a bang, "I will come out to bask in the sun, and you will hit me, my God, can a tree be discriminated against like this? The law of heaven is clear, what is the law of the king?" !"

"Stop crying, tell me, where have all the foxes in here gone?" Ah Chun felt that the old tree spirit's crying was a bit fake, so he didn't allow it to continue performing, and immediately stepped forward to ask it.

"You are..." The old tree spirit looked at Ah Chun seriously at this moment, and suddenly slapped the crown of the tree, his mouth was about to open, and he said in surprise: "You are a little fox, you forgot, I am your grandpa tree, you often slept on me shortly after you were born, and urinated at every turn..."

"Stop!" Ah Chun interrupted the black history in a timely manner. She really couldn't remember clearly what happened when she was a child. Only the occasional flash of fragments reminded her of something.

"I, I can't remember clearly." Ah Chun said hesitantly, "Then since you can always be here, why aren't the other foxes here?"

When the old dryad heard her words, the luster in his eyes dimmed a bit. He stroked his white beard and sighed for about a dozen times before slowly saying: "It's a long story..."

Then Xiao Changlu took a step forward, and it immediately changed its words: "In a word, your clansman moved away for some reason, and it is not suitable for Xianquan to stay here."

Xiao Changlu continued to glance at it, and then said quickly: "I can tell you where they live now, the reason is too complicated, you can ask yourself."

After it finished speaking, it took a sad look at Ah Chun and asked, "Your mother..."

"Dead." Ah Chun said with her head down.

The old tree spirit began to sigh again, touched Ah Chun's head lightly with a branch, and said, "Poor child, your mother is the most outstanding fox in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan for so many years, and she has done a lot for you." Things, these things are probably going to start when you were not born..."

Just when it was preparing for a long speech, it felt that Xiao Changlu seemed to move a step towards it, and a large piece of leaves swayed down. It immediately decided to continue to bask in the sun, but secretly gave Ah Chun a handkerchief, saying that it was left by her mother when she left. fall down.

Ah Chun looked at the handkerchief, there was a little white fox embroidered on it, it looked very delicate, she didn't know why, so she put it away first.
