When I became a Jade-faced Fox

“Will you find it hard?”

The conversation was finally coming to an end, and everyone seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief.

The Fox King suddenly asked something that made Yu'er choke up a little.

"Fortunately!"

Of course I will have a hard time, Yu'er thought to herself. In life, eight out of ten things are not as you wish. If I only seek temporary happiness, I will regret it for the rest of my life. That is disrespecting my own life, and your life.

"Yu'er, you should have some fun recently. Every fifty years, Mount Li opens its gates to welcome all living beings in the world to seek the Dharma. There are less than ten years left, and after this year, Yu'er will stay with me and the old woman, and we will teach you." Grandpa told about Yu'er's next arrangements.

Grandma thought Grandpa's words were really a downer. "Yu'er, you have just returned, so of course you should have fun. Go meet your brothers and sisters and let them take you around our house. If there is a banquet this year, Grandma will take you out to meet old friends, and I guarantee that your pockets will be filled with gifts."

Yu'er and the Fox King bowed and left. The Fox King held his daughter's hand and walked step by step. Looking at his daughter who was not even as tall as his waist, he felt mixed emotions.

"Dad, let's go back quickly. When mom wakes up and can't see us, she will be worried." Yu'er could of course feel her father's hand getting tighter and tighter, until her hands were hurt. However, she didn't say anything, but was worried about her mother who was sent back.

"Okay, then Dad will carry you over. Let's hurry, okay?" The Fox King squatted down, and Yu'er hugged his neck directly. In a blink of an eye, they arrived at her brother-in-law's house.

"Brother." "Uncle." They called together.

"Yu'er, your aunt is cooking. We will eat together later. You go upstairs first and play with your brother Rui'er for a while, okay?" Uncle had a loving face and pointed upstairs, asking Yu'er to go upstairs.

"Rui'er, your uncle and Yu'er are here, why don't you come out to greet them?"

At this time, the corner of the red clothes appeared on the side of the stairs, and Hong Rui bowed. The Fox King nodded, and Yu'er went upstairs.

After the two of them met and left, the two elders sat down and started chatting.

My uncle held a cup of tea, took a sip, and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Although I don't know the whole story yet, I know that you are probably heartbroken right now. I can understand your feelings."

The Fox King did not respond, but took another sip of tea and put one hand on his brow, with an indescribable look of frustration on his face.

"You know about Rui'er. Others only see our superficial glory. The Red Letter lineage will have another ancestor, and the inheritance will continue!" At this time, the uncle pounded his chest, "But who knows, I don't hope he has this talent at all. The fox clan is passionate. If you can find a lover early like you and me, and accompany you for life, it is a great blessing. But if not, I can't watch my child die like this!"

The fox king's eyes were tightly closed, his eyelashes trembled constantly, and a line of tears fell.

"Brother, I lost my father when I was young. If it weren't for Shao'er and Yu'er..."

"I understand, I understand." The uncle patted the Fox King's shoulder.

"I had guessed that Yu'er was different from ordinary children, but I never thought that it was a matter of life and death. Moreover, the child couldn't speak, and today she even told me the solution. I dare not imagine how she came up with it after so many twists and turns! I am a father, but I let the child..."

As the Fox King spoke, he became more and more emotional. His voice just rose to a pitch, but he quickly lowered it and banged his head in anxiety and anger.

"So what are your plans?"

"Brother, let alone Yu'er, Rui'er is also fighting against the fate. If the children are like this, shouldn't we who have lived for thousands of years dare to do so?" The Fox King looked straight at his uncle with eyes washed by tears.

"Nianqiao, you are always smart. If there is a way, please save Rui'er, brother..."

The Fox King waved his hand and interrupted his uncle's words.

"Brother, there's really no need to talk about this between you and me. Rui'er is my nephew!"

As they spoke, the two old foxes put their heads together and nodded as they talked.

"Little sister, aunt is here!" Hong Rui led Yu'er to a room. "This is the room aunt lived in before she got married. She has kept it here ever since."

"My mother, she..."

"Don't worry, Auntie is still sleeping. She is tired from the journey, so it would be good for her to have a good rest."

Yu'er listened to Hong Rui talking and looked up at him. He was wearing a scarlet robe with silver thread edges, a folding fan in his hand, and his hair was loose, looking like a madman from the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Hong Rui realized that his little cousin was looking at him and subconsciously cleared his throat.

"Well, how is it, not bad, right?" As he said this, he turned around in front of Yu'er.

"Not bad, there's no smell of alcohol and powder from yesterday." Yu'er nodded, as if she was satisfied with her own evaluation.

"You little girl, you are so mischievous."

Yu'er didn't say anything more, but walked quickly into the room. She saw her mother lying on a step-out bed, with the breeze blowing through the window, blowing the curtains and reflecting her mother's vague figure.

"Mom, Mom." Yu'er walked forward, held her mother's hand, and called softly.

The lady woke up slowly, her eyes half open and her mind confused, and she heard Yu'er's voice.

"Yu'er," she whispered, raising her hand to press her forehead. "My Yu'er!"

The lady seemed to be suddenly awakened and shouted.

"Mom, I'm here, I'm here, don't worry, I'm here!"

Yu'er quickly responded, putting her face in her hands and rubbing them to confirm her existence.

"Yu'er," the lady suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"Mom, it's okay, it's okay! Look, I'm here."

The Fox King heard the noise downstairs and without caring about his brother-in-law, he jumped upstairs and broke into the room.

"Shaoer." The Fox King's tone was a little hurried.

"Husband, Yu'er is..." The lady was about to get excited again.

"Rui'er, take Yu'er to your mother's place to see if the meal is ready. When it's ready, Yu'er can come and call your parents, okay?" The Fox King stepped forward and took the hand that Yu'er was holding from her mother.

Yu'er understood that her parents had something to say, so she nodded obediently, held Hongrui's clothes, and was about to leave.

The lady wanted to say something again, but her hand felt painful from being held, and her words were interrupted.

"Shao'er, don't scare the child. Yu'er is still too young."

The lady threw herself into the arms of the Fox King, her tears soaking his clothes. Yu'er seemed to feel something, her slow steps paused slightly, she looked back, turned her head and continued walking down.

Life is like this. No matter what, you have to keep going! Whether it's family or friends, this road is ultimately your own. You can look back occasionally, but you can't stand still.
