The new chat is | fox
During the Ming Dynasty, taiyuan province had an old man surnamed Lai. Because the ancestors had surplus wealth, he did not worry about wearing snacks and only knew how to have fun.
Other rich people like to keep birds and dogs, but Léon is very obsessed with foxes. There were also thirty foxes with yellow and white fur in his backyard, which he had also purchased from hunters for many years. Because he loved foxes too much, people called him a fox.
On weekdays, in addition to feeding the fox, the fox man fights with the fox. But he never hired servants, but only for being stingy with a few small sums of money. Over time, relatives and friends saw that he was nearly fifty years old, had not yet married a wife, and had no one around to take care of him, so they asked the matchmaker to come to him many times to propose to him.
The fox always refused: "With the company of the fox, why should other women not marry or marry!" Sooner or later my fox will become a fairy and marry me! "The crowd tried many times to persuade him to no avail, so they had to let him do it.
One year in the cold winter, the fox occasionally felt cold, fell ill on the bed, limbs were weak, and could not even climb up. Worried that the foxes in the yard were not fed, he kept crying out in his throat: "Come on, who will help me!" ”
After shouting for half a day, the neighbor Zhang Shi heard that the arrival came, and only then helped to call Lang Zhong, but the fox ong stopped him and said, "Leave my illness alone, first help me feed the fox." ”
Zhang Shi was speechless and hurried to the backyard, but those foxes only recognized the foxes, saw a stranger come in, and immediately jumped to bite, Zhang Shi was frightened, flustered to throw away the food, and the ash slipped away.
Afterwards, although Zhang Shi helped Fox Weng to invite Lang Zhong, because he was bitten by a fox, he did not see him enter the Lai family for half a step.
The fox was sick for several nights, worried, and stayed up until midnight before falling asleep. A moment later, he suddenly dreamed of a glowing white fox sneaking into the room and squeaking in front of his bed.
The fox immediately came to his senses and stood up, "Fox, fox, are you coming to see me?" The white fox shook his body a few times, turned into a beautiful fairy girl, and smiled lightly: "Lai Lao Ye is polite, the little girl's name is Linggu, she is a fox fairy in the mountains, smell you hello fox specially came to meet!" ”
The fox man hurriedly got up to greet him, and could not help the beauty of the fox fairy, so he wanted to help the woman into the seat.
Unexpectedly, Linggu cleverly avoided it, pushed the fox to the ground, frowned, and said, "Don't face it, the slave family came this time, just to let you release the foxes in the courtyard, so that they won't suffer any more!" ”
The fox was very puzzled and asked, "The old decay raises them well and deliciously, where is the bitterness?" ”
Linggu said, "I have never heard that a prisoner can be happy, and if you keep a fox in captivity, it is a suffering for them, so why not let them go back to nature?" The fox man loved the fox and was very hesitant, and Linggu frowned and said, "If you promise to let the foxes go, the slave family will cure you of your serious illness!" ”
The fox listened, remembering that he had been lying in bed for several days, he was already very ill, and after hesitating, he agreed.
The next day, the fox woke up, felt that his appearance had recovered a lot, and he was able to get out of bed and walk. Remembering the fox fairy he dreamed of last night, he did not dare to be idle, slowly walked into the backyard, pulled open the wooden door and released the dozens of foxes back into the forest.
Afterwards, the fox rested for another three days, the disease was not cured, and he was very grateful to the fox fairy for his help, and gradually became obsessed with the other party.
After the fox was well, although he no longer raised foxes, he always missed the fox fairy linggu in his heart, so he often took wine and food and silver and went into the mountains to look for them.
In the blink of an eye, months passed, and the fox went into the mountain on time every morning to look for the fox, and the wind and rain did not change. Until one day, the fox was resting in a bamboo forest, and suddenly saw a white fox walking by, he hurriedly got up to chase the fox, shouted: "Fox, fox, please tell me where the Linggu fairy is?" ”
The white fox heard this, looked back at him twice, and ran to the foot of the mountain. The fox tried desperately to continue the chase, came to a dark cave, and saw the white fox burrow into it and disappeared.
After hesitating, the fox lighted the torch and followed it.
There is no hole in the cave, the fox walked through a dark path, saw a bright exit in front of him, and went out to find a fairyland with flowers blooming and bees and butterflies.
There is a fairy-haunted hut courtyard built on a green meadow, and from time to time there are foxes chasing and frolicking.
In the backyard surrounded by fences, there was a woman dancing, and the fox man approached along the path, looked at it a few times, and found that it was the fox fairy linggu who was thinking about the twilight, so he couldn't help but shout: "It turns out that the fairy is here, Lai Mou is looking for you so hard." After saying that, I was very excited and pushed the door in.
When Linggu saw the arrival of the fox, she gently performed a blessing and said, "It turned out that It was Lord Lai who arrived, and the slave family was far away, so please sit down!" ”
The fox sat on a stone bench in response, looking around, and saw that everywhere was the sound of birds and flowers, the crops were fruitful and the trees were full of trees, and the mountains and streams passed around the south wall of the house, which was a fairyland on earth. The fox couldn't help but say: "There are foxes here, like peach blossoms, just in line with Lai's reclusive long-term residence!" ”
Linggu entered the house, warmed a pot of flower tea out, poured a cup for fox to drink, and asked, "What noble work has Old Master Lai come here?" Fox Weng was happy for half a day, and smiled: "Since separating from the fairy in the dream, Lai Mou missed day and night, so he tried everything to find you here." ”
Linggu listened to him so bluntly, smiled politely, and even more beautiful and moving, the fox man saw the itchy heart, busy saying that he loved the fox experience in half his life, and the words were endless, and the more he said, the more excited he became.
After a while, the fox man spoke dryly and reached out to pour tea to drink. The Fox Fairy Linggu then said, "It's not early in the day, if there is nothing else to do, Old Master Lai will please come back, there is no need to come back in the future!" ”
When the fox heard this, he was very surprised, and even tried to become intimate with the fox fairy, and said excitedly: "Fox fairy lady, the old man loves the fox so much, you are also a witness, if you don't hate it, I will be my wife, and I will join hands here to share the heavens."
Linggu frowned and said sharply, "Hugh is daydreaming, no matter how much Ben Xian only loves young and talented Junshusheng, you don't have to think about it too much, go back to your life!" ”
When the fox heard this, he was like a basin of cold water pouring down his body, and hurriedly said, "In this world, who loves the fox more deeply than I do, can you ask about it?" Unexpectedly, Linggu was even more angry and said, "This matter does not make sense to you, so don't go through it!" ”
After saying that, he turned back to the house, but the fox was very reluctant to follow in, and he still wanted to hug her.
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Linggu was already very impatient, so she summoned two rough men with fox heads, grabbed the fox and dragged him into the cave where he had just come, and when he came out of the cave, he threw him on the ground.
The two fox-headed men turned and went into the hole and disappeared. The fox was still unwilling, got up and went into the cave to look for it, but helplessly it was pitch black inside, and after walking a few steps to the end, it was all four stone walls, and the original fairyland exit had disappeared.
On that day, the fox was helpless and worried until dark, and then he went home with a sigh. After that, he was depressed, did not think about tea and dinner all day, was dull for half a month, and even survived a serious illness, and died before long.

As the saying goes, "the flowers fall intentionally, the flow of water is merciless" There is no reason for love, you love others, others do not necessarily have to love you. Lai Weng loved foxes all his life, just indulged in his own fantasies, and finally saw the fox fairy, but was tragically beaten to death, which is no wonder to others!
The story also tells us that if you really like a person or something, you can pay for him, but you can't ask others to reciprocate. If you like it, you attach conditions to yourself, and ask others to return it to you, such a like, you can first explain, until the end to repay with grace, this is also an immoral behavior!
