My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Chapter 25 The fox is hired, a tricky thing in the mountains!
Flame...

At this point in time, no one will come to the mountain again.

What's more, the funeral procession in the village just happened to those things, presumably the villagers will not come to the mountains again in a short time.

Where did the flame come from?
Could it be people from other places?Poachers?
There is such a possibility.

Zhang Hao hid his figure, squinted his eyes to see more clearly, and watched intently.

If it is really a poacher, it can be said to be the enemy of the mountain walker.

Because these poachers have been very hateful since ancient times. They wantonly slaughtered wild animals just to satisfy their own desires, regardless of the balance between the mountains and forests, and left things that did not belong to the mountains in the mountains.

Even, the destruction of the environment alone is enough to make them mountain walkers and enemies of the mountain.

In a sense, Zoushanren can also be called "Mountainkeepers", so we must not sit idly by in this situation.

He watched quietly, without making any sound, for fear of disturbing the "owner" of the fire.

But right now.

He finally saw the "owner" of the flame.

Within that bright light range, a short, furry thing with two pointed ears erected appeared like a "human cub that just learned to walk upright".

And the back of that thing was still bulging, as if it was carrying something, and above it was the extremely bright firelight in the dark!

In an instant, Zhang Hao was terrified, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

Furry, short, with two pointy ears, can stand up...

That's definitely not human!

Zhang Hao's pupils shrank slightly, and he watched again.

This time he saw clearly that it was a fox, a fox that got up straight and stood on the ground with both feet!

And the fox was really carrying something on its back, it was a thing like a human backpack, it was bulging inside, and I don't know what it contained.

The horror in Zhang Hao's heart never faded, he swallowed his saliva "gurgling".

It is normal to see foxes on this mountain. This mountain is undeveloped, and wild animals have always been abundant. He often heard wolves howling when he was a child.

But in the dark forest at night, I saw a fox standing and walking with something on its back, and what the hell was that torch on its back!

This is so frightening!

However, before he could think too much, his pupils dilated again.

That... that's not just one fox, but a total of six foxes!
These six foxes stood on the ground with both feet and walked upright. They all carried their bags and walked forward along with the front fox carrying the torch.

The speed of this "Fox" team is not fast, it can be said to be slow.

At this moment, Zhang Hao saw something again.

Behind the bags carried by those foxes, there are red papers with no words on them!
In the dark forest where there is no light, such a team of "foxes" carried luggage with wordless red paper attached to it.

Directly fill this horror feeling!

Zhang Hao didn't dare to breathe, he firmly suppressed the idea of ​​getting up and running quickly, and squatted in place all the time.

When you haven't figured out the situation, the best way is to do nothing, do nothing, and just wait quietly.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the "Fox" team did not discover his existence.

Time passed by every minute and every second, Zhang Hao watched helplessly as the "Fox" team gradually traveled far away, and the beam of fire gradually disappeared behind the dark dense forest.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then ran outside without caring about anything.

The scene just now was too terrifying, and it was too unbelievable for him.

Sure enough... What was said in [Zoushan Travel Notes] is correct, the appearance of the mountain spirit is a sign of great evil, and something big will happen in the mountain.

Not long after helping the funeral procession out of the predicament, he encountered this strange scene.

Isn't this a bad omen or what?
Fortunately, the "Fox" team didn't find him. If they found him, it's uncertain what would happen.

Zhang Hao ran all the way, going down the mountain according to the road in his memory, without looking back.

Running to the foot of the mountain, the bright moonlight swayed on the earth, the sky was dotted with stars, and the endless starry sky hung above the dome.

Seeing the light shining from the houses in the village, his hanging heart finally let go.

huh, huh, huh...

Zhang Hao panted heavily, his forehead already covered with sweat.

Until this moment, he glanced back.

The mountain was still dark, shrouded in endless darkness, silent, as if it had always been like this, and it seemed to reveal a little weirdness all the time.

Zhang Hao sat paralyzed on the mud floor, relieving his slightly shortness of breath, recalling the scene that just happened in his mind.

Call ~
A gust of wind blew by, and he shivered, the blankness in his eyes disappeared immediately, and the thoughts in his mind returned to normal.

It was only then that he remembered to take out the [Picture Record of Zoushan Travel Notes] to take a look.

It is absolutely impossible that he was the only one who encountered such a strange scene. I believe that among the mountain walkers in the past, there must have been encounters. As long as there are mountain walkers who encounter it, they will definitely leave corresponding records.

While taking a deep breath, with the help of the moonlight, he flipped through the ancient book in his hand.

Soon, Zhang Hao found the page he wanted to see.

[Occasionally encounter a fox in the mountains and get married, strange things in the mountains...]

It was exactly what Zhang Hao had seen before, recorded in [Zoushan Travel Records], a story similar to a folk story, the fox married.

This is not the point that Zhang Hao wants to read. What attracts his attention is the few sentences left by that generation of mountain walkers at the end of this page of "story".

[The fox makes an appointment before getting married, the six foxes carry their bags and put red letters on them, and when night falls, they see fire in the mountains...]

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Hao felt a headache while looking at the records in the ancient books.

This is so... Isn't it the situation I encountered?

The prelude to the fox's marriage is the fox's dowry.

Recalling that scene again, Zhang Hao still felt horrified.

After all, a fox is an animal. It walks upright like a human, carries a bag on its back, and sticks a scarlet letter on it. It also pays a bride price before getting married just like a human.

Just thinking about it made Zhang Hao feel the uncanny valley effect hovering above his head.

Fortunately, nothing happened, and there would be no sequelae after seeing it, so there was no need to do anything to get rid of bad luck.

There is no corresponding record in the ancient books.

But this matter is still lingering in his mind, lingering.

No, after returning home, I will study carefully what is going on with this fox getting married.

If something happens in the future, it's better to take precautions in time.

Zhang Hao got up, patted the dirt on his body, and walked along the road into the village.

Since today is the day of the funeral, the villagers did not go out at night, and they all stayed in their own homes.

Along the way, Zhang Hao didn't meet anyone.

Soon, he stood in front of the house, first faced the mountain, bowed three times, then chopped off three feet on the ground fiercely, and spat three times.

After that, he lifted his foot, pushed open the door, and stepped into the threshold.

"I'm back!" Zhang Hao shouted into the courtyard.
