Mr. Fox, please submit

The door of the porch was opened again, but this time, they could clearly see the dream-like forest on the other side of the door under the moonlight.Yichen quickly jumped out of the door, and the others immediately followed him out of the door and ran straight ahead.Take a deep breath of the cool air, which means that they really came out this time.

But it's useless to just walk out of the haunted house, because they just rushed forward and didn't pay attention to the path they walked at all. Now they don't even know where their own people are, let alone go back to the hotel.

By the light of the flashlight, they slowly groped along the woods. Suddenly, the little white fox seemed to have found something, pulled off Yichen's trousers, and signaled him to follow behind.Unexpectedly, after walking for about ten minutes, the group found a house near a hillside with the lights still on.

"Hey, isn't this another haunted house?" Wu Boxue pitifully tugged on Yichen's sleeve.

"Joke, have you ever seen a ghost who can light a lamp?" Yichen showed a serious doubt about his IQ.

Just as they were discussing whether to knock on the door, the people in the room seemed to have noticed the noise outside, and slightly opened the half door to spy.The other party turned out to be a rather old woman, and the wrinkles on her face were enough to express the vicissitudes she had experienced.

"Have you lost your way?" The old woman opened the wooden door completely and asked kindly.

"Ah, yes! I'm really sorry for disturbing you so late. We stayed at Hotel X. Because of a small accident, we couldn't find our way back." Yichen is now very gentle and polite .

"Oh, so that's the case. But the hotel you mentioned is far away from here, and it's so dark now, it's dangerous for you guys not familiar with the mountain road. I think so, if you don't dislike it, you might as well go there I'll come and sit in my room, and I'll go back after dawn."

"Uh, aren't you afraid that we are bad people?" Wu Boxue looked at the old woman curiously.

"Hehehe, I don't have anything here. I think no one will come here on purpose to get my bad ideas. Come on, let's sit in the room first." The old woman greeted them warmly and entered the room. And pour hot tea.

The layout of the house is as simple as it looks from the outside, with only a few old wooden furniture and some cooking utensils.The little white fox restlessly sniffed around the old woman's feet a few times, and then returned to Yichen's shoulder.

"Yo, such a spiritual little guy, it's really interesting."

"Xiaobai is a wild fox, and he seldom gets close to others except me. Speaking of which, mother-in-law, why are you still living alone in this mountain at your age?"

"I'm waiting for my husband to come back."

"Mother-in-law, your husband is away?" Wu Boxue's words made the old woman laugh.Then she stared intently at the candlelight on the wooden table, and sighed deeply, as if she was lost in memories.

"Mother-in-law?" Yichen called softly.

"It started a long time ago. It used to be a wealthy small village, but since the nearby mines were developed and the canal was forced to divert, frequent floods and droughts took away all life here. No matter how we It is not enough to live on this barren land all year round by working hard."

"Everyone knows that if this continues, they will starve to death. Forced to do so, the strong men in the village have no choice but to leave their hometown and go out to work, including my husband."

"Then what happened next?" Wu Bo was like a child, he sat on the table and listened carefully to his mother-in-law's narration.
