Meet the red fox on the way to greet the family
It was a beautiful early summer day, and I rode a tall horse, dressed in the groom's dress, and led a huge procession to pick up my beloved bride, Xiaofang. Along the way, the gongs and drums were noisy and beaming, and my heart was full of longing for a happy life in the future.
However, just as we were halfway there, a flaming fox suddenly sprang out of the woods by the side of the road, and stood in the middle of the road, staring at us with blazing eyes. The horses beneath me neighed uneasily, and the whole procession stopped at the sudden red fox.
"The groom, this red fox is not a mascot. Aunt Li, the matchmaker who accompanied me, whispered to me.
I frowned and looked at the red fox, only to see a human glint in its eyes, as if to tell something. Although I was a little uneasy in my heart, I was more curious and puzzled.
At this moment, the bride's sedan curtain opened a corner, Xiao Fang poked her head out, she saw the red fox at a glance, and her face instantly turned pale.
"What's wrong, Xiaofang?" I asked with concern.
"That'...... The red fox ......," Xiao Fang said in a trembling voice, "it...... It's smiling at me!"
I was shocked, and when I looked closely, the red fox really seemed to be smiling at Xiao Fang, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a weird smile. I suddenly felt an inexplicable wave of fear.
"The bridegroom, I'm afraid this kiss won't be able to meet you. Aunt Li sighed on the side, "When the bride sees this red fox, I'm afraid there is something bad omen." ”
"No, I'm going back to my parents' house!" Xiao Fang suddenly said resolutely, "I'm going back now!"
I looked at her frightened look, and although I was reluctant to give up, I had to rely on her. So, we turned the horse's head, and the welcoming team returned the same way to send Xiaofang back to her parents' home.
Along the way, Xiao Fang held my hand tightly, and her palms were sweating. I kept comforting her, but she didn't seem to listen to a word, just silently watched the red fox that was far away.
Back at Xiaofang's mother's house, her parents were surprised to see us suddenly turn back. Xiaofang threw herself into her mother's arms, crying and telling what happened on the road.
"That red fox, does it have very bright eyes and look like a person?" Xiao Fang's mother suddenly asked after listening to her narration.
Xiao Fang nodded and choked up, "Yes, Mom, how do you know?"
Xiao Fang's mother took a deep breath and slowly told a past that had been sealed for many years.
It turned out that many years ago, there was a beautiful girl in the village who fell in love with a young man outside the village, but the people in the village objected to them being together because of the young man's poor family. Despite the opposition of her family, the girl insisted on marrying the young man. However, on the day they got married, on the way to meet their relatives, a red fox suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
The old people in the village said that it was the spirit fox that the girl's ancestors turned into to stop this unhappy marriage. But the girl has made up her mind, and the red fox can only leave sadly in the end.
Soon after, the young man died in an accident, leaving the girl alone. The people in the village said that it was the curse of the red fox.
"So, are you so scared when you see that red fox?" I asked Xiaofang softly.
Xiao Fang nodded, looking at me with teary eyes: "I'm afraid that we will also be like the girls and young people in that story, and end up in misfortune." ”
I held her hand tightly and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will be there for you." We face it together and get through it together. ”
Xiaofang's parents also came over and comforted her not to panic too much. They said that since we had returned to our parents' home, we would stay for the time being and see how it was going to happen later.
In this way, we stayed at Xiaofang's mother's house. However, the shadow of the red fox always hangs over us. Every night, Xiaofang would have nightmares about the red fox staring at her in the dark, with a weird smile on the corner of her mouth.
I am determined to find out the truth about the Red Fox and break this curse. So, I started to inquire about the legends and stories about the red fox in the village. Some say that the red fox is the patron saint of the village, protecting the peace of the village, while others say that it is the embodiment of evil and will bring disaster to the village. There are various theories, which make me even more confused.
Just when I was at my wit's end, an elderly villager told me an amazing secret. He said that the red fox was actually an ancient curse, and that the curse could only be lifted if the person who gave it was found. And this person who cast the curse is the descendant of the girl back then.
I was shocked, could it be that Xiao Fang was the offspring of that girl? If so, then didn't she curse herself?
I went to Xiaofang's parents with this question for verification. They were silent for a long time, and finally told the truth. It turned out that Xiaofang was indeed a direct descendant of that girl. And after the girl experienced an unhappy marriage, in order to protect her offspring from repeating the mistakes of the past, she made a curse: whenever her offspring met the red fox on the way to welcome the family, it meant that the marriage was unhappy.
After listening to this story, I fell into deep thought. Do we really have to be bound by this curse? I decided to challenge this curse and use my love to dissolve it.
I approached the village wizard and asked him to help me lift the curse. The sorcerer told me that to lift the curse, I need to pray sincerely with Xiao Fang and present our love token at the place where the red fox appeared, indicating that we are willing to face all the difficulties and challenges in the future together.
So, on a full moon night, Xiaofang and I took our love token, a pair of silver rings, to the place where the red fox appeared. We hold hands, close our eyes, and pray sincerely. When we opened our eyes, the red fox stood in front of us, its eyes no longer weird, but full of tenderness and blessings.
We offer rings to show our determination and courage. The red fox nodded slightly, then turned and disappeared into the night.
From that day on, we never saw the red fox again. And Xiaofang no longer has nightmares, and our lives gradually return to peace and happiness.
Later, we learned that the red fox was not really the source of the curse. It's just a guardian of that ancient story and legend. When we face it with sincerity and love, it becomes a blessing and protection.
Now, whenever I think of that red fox, my heart is filled with gratitude and respect. It makes us cherish each other more, and it also makes us understand the true meaning of love - not to run away from difficulties, but to face and overcome everything bravely.
Red Fox's blessing
Time flies like a white horse, and it is late autumn in a blink of an eye. The foliage of the trees in the village is golden, as if the whole village is dyed in autumn colors. My life with Xiaofang is also like this autumn leaf, gorgeous and warm.
Since the prayer on that full moon night, the red fox has not been seen again. But we know that it has been silently guarding us all along. Whenever we encounter difficulties or confusion, we can always feel a warm force behind us and let us move forward bravely.
On this day, the elders of the village decided to hold a grand celebration to thank the gods for their protection and the protection of the red fox. The whole village is busy, preparing all kinds of food and shows, and laughter echoes around every corner.
Xiaofang and I also joined the preparations. Fang prepares the food, while I set up the stage and set up the sound. We fought side by side, busy, but full of happiness and anticipation.
The night before the celebration, Xiao Fang suddenly and mysteriously said to me: "I have a special program and want to surprise you." ”
I was curious and asked, "What show?" Can you tell us a little bit about that?"
Xiao Fang smiled and shook her head: "No, you'll know when the time comes." ”
Looking at her mysterious smile, my heart was filled with anticipation.
The next day, the celebration took place as scheduled. The villagers gathered in the square, and it was very lively. The performances on the stage were one after another, drawing bursts of applause and laughter from the audience.
Finally, it was Xiaofang's turn to show. She walked gracefully onto the stage dressed in traditional national costumes. The music played, and she began to dance, beautifully and movingly. I watched her dance on the stage, as if I saw the girl from the old legend, beautiful and strong.
After the dance, the audience erupted in applause and cheers. Xiao Fang smiled and bowed to the audience in thanks, then walked off the stage.
I stepped forward and hugged her tightly: "You're amazing!"
Xiao Fang snuggled in my arms and said with a smile: "Actually, this dance is for the red fox I danced, thank it for its protection and blessings." ”
I looked at her with emotion: "I'm sure the red fox will be able to feel your heart." ”
After the celebration, we walked home hand in hand. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on us, stretching our shadows long, long.
"Where do you think the red fox will be watching us now?" Xiao Fang asked suddenly.
I looked up at the sky: "Maybe it's behind that cloud, silently guarding us." ”
Xiao Fang smiled: "With the protection of the red fox, we will definitely be happy." ”
I held her hand tightly: "Yes, we will always be happy." ”
The legend of the red fox
Time flies, and a few years later. Xiaofang and I are still living happily, and the legend of the red fox is also spreading in the village.
Some people say that the red fox is actually a mysterious fairy who guards every pair of lovers who truly love each other, giving them courage and strength. It is also said that the red fox is the guardian of the ancient village, and it uses its power to protect the peace and happiness of the village.
Either way, the red fox has become a god and guardian in the hearts of the villagers. Whenever someone encounters difficulties or is confused, they always remember the legend about the red fox and draw strength and courage from it.
And Xiaofang and I have always kept this legend in our hearts. We know that no matter what difficulties and challenges we encounter, as long as we hold hands and connect hearts, we will be able to overcome everything. Because in our hearts, the protection and blessing of the red fox will always be there.
It was a sunny afternoon, and Xiao Fang and I took our child Xiao Ming for a walk at the entrance of the village. Xiao Ming suddenly pointed to the woods in the distance and shouted, "Mom and Dad, look! There's a red fox there!"
We looked in the direction of his finger and saw a fiery fox standing quietly at the edge of the woods, looking at us softly. Its eyes were full of warmth and blessings, as if to say to us, "You must be happy!"
At that moment, our hearts were filled with gratitude and respect. We know that it is the blessing and protection of the red fox that has always been by our side. And we will pass on this blessing and protection to the next generation, so that they can move forward bravely and fearlessly on the road ahead.
In the dead of night, I always think of the legend about the red fox. I believe it is not only a legend, but also a belief and power. It makes us believe in the power of love, in the meaning of protection, and in the existence of happiness. And all because of the blessings and powers bestowed upon us by that mysterious and beautiful red fox.
