Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 60 Fox Fairy Mother (Live Fox)

Ye Zi's home is at the easternmost end of the village. The house is very big, unlike the houses of other villagers, it is made of blue bricks.The architectural style of the house is very old. There are black tiles and tiles engraved with auspicious animals on the roof. It seems to be in the style of the Western Han Dynasty. It can be seen that this family had an extraordinary status in this area in ancient times.

Ye Zi brought Chen Zhi and the others into this house. Everyone walked in and saw that the interior layout was very simple.In the middle of the hall, there is a table with several porcelain vases on it. On the table is a hand-painted portrait of a woman, which is not clearly visible after a long time.There are some wooden benches and a square table next to the hall. The inner room is an earthen kang from the northeastern countryside, and two or three large wooden boxes that are too dark to see clearly. On the west wall of the hall are a few yellowed The old photos, although the house is simple but very clean.

"Sit down for a while, I'll make some tea for you," Ye Zi said, flicking her braids, then turned and walked into the room.

After watching Ye Zi leave, Fat Wei touched Chen Zhi's foot and said in a low voice. "The foundation of this house is not ordinary. Look at the ground." Fat Wei stepped on his foot and said, "This is called the blue brick of the Han Dynasty, and there are words engraved on it! It's just worn down now. Look at that case again." The two bottles on display are called "Jun Porcelain". There is a saying in our antique shop, "Even if you have a lot of wealth, it is not as good as a piece of Jun Porcelain."

Chen Zhi glared at him fiercely, and said, "Don't think about it. If you are arrested in this village, you will be crippled. Uncle policemen can't save you."

Fat Wei giggled and said to Chen Zhi, "Look at the way I scare you, can my Lord Wei do such sneaky things?"

Just as she was talking, Ye Zi walked in, carrying a teapot and several teacups in her hands, and placed them on the wooden table.Chen Zhi and the others immediately gathered around and sat beside the table with a smile.

Ye Shui poured the tea into the cups, handed them to drink one by one, and said, "Try it, it's no worse than what you drink outside."

Chen Zhi picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling that the tea was indeed fragrant and sweet, and it was rare to drink tea of ​​this quality in the mountains.She raised her head and asked Ye Zidao.

"Sister Ye Zi, I want to inquire about one thing. Is your great-grandmother, the old mother of the fox fairy, in the village now? My friend is seriously ill, and we came all the way here just to let the old mother of the fox fairy see him. If the old mother of the Fox Fairy says there is no way out, we will give up too."Chen Zhi pointed to Fat Wei and said sincerely.

When Fat Wei heard what Chen Zhi said, he immediately agreed: "Miss sister, you can do it, I have a terminal illness, and now I feel miserable." Fat Wei coughed while talking, his acting skills were very poor.

Ye Zi looked at them, sneered a few times, and said, "Okay, stop making big plays in front of me, you didn't come here to seek medical advice at all, you came here for the fox cave, right?"

Chen Zhi and the others were immediately stunned. They didn't expect this little girl to expose them immediately, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Ye Zi poured himself a cup of tea, drank it calmly and said, "Since I was a child, I have seen many people come to look for the fox cave. I heard that the fox cave is in the deep mountains behind our village. The virgin forest that can’t come out. Every year, how many people, led by the old hunter, went into the mountain to find the fox’s hole, but they all went to Mada Mountain (local dialect: lost in the mountain), and they never returned, even the old hunter went in up.

Hearing what Ye Zi said, Chen Zhi felt that there was no need to hide it any more, and said, "Sister Ye Zi, you have sharp eyes. Ming people don't say dark words. We are here to find fox holes. Do you have fox holes here? Are there any fox holes in there?" Is there really a fox fairy?"

Ye Zi flicked her ponytail and said disdainfully: "What kind of fox is there? You are also people from big cities outside. It has been so many years and you still believe these rumors. I don't know if there is a fox cave. Anyway, I haven't seen it. Yes. There are rumors that my great-grandmother lived for 1000 years. Do you believe that our family is of fox fairy and human blood? Let me tell you, in fact, my great-grandmother just has a longer life expectancy and is only in her 80s this year." Ye Zi After finishing speaking, he laughed, showing his snow-white teeth.

"You see, right? I said we were fooled into coming here." Fat Wei said helplessly, "You also forced me to pretend to be a terminally ill patient. Who would believe me, a fat and strong man!"

Ye Zi glanced at Pangwei, seemed to think he was cute, smiled and said: "Okay! Don't come here for nothing, I'll go and make you some game, let you try something new, after you finish eating After dinner, let’s go back, this village does not allow outsiders to stay overnight.” After speaking, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Fat Wei obsequiously followed, and went into the kitchen to help.

Ye Zi and Fat Wei just went out, Xiao Gu'er stood up and walked towards the west wall.Standing there, staring at a photo in a daze, Chen Zhi followed and looked at the photo.

There are a lot of photos hanging on the wall, basically a group photo of Ye Zi and a girl.The girl was sixteen or seventeen years old, and she smiled brightly with Ye Zi.

"Is this Mai Sui'er?" Chen Zhi asked Xiao Gu.

"Yeah," Xiao Gu'er nodded.

Chen Zhi looked at the girl carefully, and immediately understood why Xiao Gu'er liked her.The girl has a standard oval face, big eyes, watery, and a bright smile.It's like a clear spring, very pure.There are leaves in Mai Sui'er's photos, and the relationship between the two sisters seems to be very good.

Chen Zhi looked through the photos, but didn't see any photos of live foxes.So he asked Xiaogu, "Why is there no picture of the old lady called Huohu? Have you seen what that Huohu looks like? In fact, even old ladies who have lived for more than 100 years are common. According to the legend, it is so evil that it can live to be more than 1000 years old."

Chen Zhi has never believed that the old lady is so old, and feels that the rumors are watery.

"No, those live foxes are really evil." When Xiaogu spoke, there was a trace of fear on his face.My dad told me he'd seen live foxes when he was a kid and was always an old lady.

I didn’t believe it at the beginning, but one time, when I came here with Maisui, she showed me some old photos in her family’s private collection.Those photos are very old, and there are many pictures of big people and live foxes.

In fact, this village is where these big shots are received, and the live fox prays for them to eliminate disasters and help them get rid of their enemies.And..." Xiao Gu'er said with a mysterious expression, "These villagers are actually very rich."

"Rich? How do you know they are rich?" Chen Zhi asked in surprise.

Xiaogu looked around and replied in a low voice: "During this time, I have done a lot of research. There is a classmate of mine in the bank in the city. He said that these villagers often go there to deposit and remit money, which can easily cost millions. "

Chen Zhi felt very strange when he heard this, he didn't expect this village to be so rich.Where did these villagers get their money from?If there is so much money, why do they stay here to suffer, why don't they go out to enjoy happiness, unless there is a reason for them to stay here.

Xiaogu Pengpeng Chen Zhi continued: "What I said is not the point of the problem. The point is that I saw some very intimate photos of their family. Most of those photos were from [-]s to [-]. I took photos in the past few years, and there are even a few photos before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, which are group photos of some big warlords and their families, and the live fox actually appeared in those old photos, always looking like an old lady.”, Xiao Gu’er There was a look of fear on his face.
