Repayment of the little fox

As soon as the old man and the dog left, Hu Zhi turned his head and saw Sikong. He didn't know how long he had been waiting there.

Hu Zhi handed a piece of rice cake to Sikong: "Do you want to eat it? It's quite sweet."

Sikong approached, took a bite, and said, "It's very sweet."

"What were you thinking just now?" Hu Zhi asked with a heavy expression on his face.

Sikong said slowly: "I didn't think there was anything wrong with spending the rest of my life alone before. After hearing what the old master said, I felt that it is probably only with someone to be with me that I can be happy. Or maybe, because there is such a People have existed, and the rest of their lives will become more and more painful. I don’t want such a person to exist, and I expect such a person to come.”

Hu Zhi curled his lips and ate the remaining rice cakes.How hypocritical.

Leaving this topic aside, Hu Zhi talked about meeting his second brother Sili.

Sikong: "You don't need to worry about him."

Hu Zhi instantly understood that this Sally is not a very nice person.

After a busy day, Sikong went to take a bath in the stream again.Hu Zhi was going to take a peek, but suddenly a dog jumped out.

Hu Zhi: "Dilang, why are you looking for me?"

Dilang bowed with his front legs and arched: "I heard that Uncle Hu Zhi can grant wishes, and I want you to fulfill my wishes."

"How many more years do you want Master Liu to live?" Hu Zhi asked.

Dilang: "That's right. I'm willing to exchange a hundred years of cultivation."

"Fate is determined by God. How can humans and demons fight against the sky? I just increase the luck of people or demons so that what they want will come true. There is nothing I can do about life. The law, who will take your cultivation base!"

Hu Zhi persuaded, "If you want Master Liu to live a few more years, you shouldn't stay with him. You are a monster with a bad omen. People who could live to be more than 70 years old may meet you. Only live in their 60s."

The ground wolf wiped his tears and said: "I know I don't want to be seen. I wanted to stay away from Master Liu. But Master Liu has a kind heart and saved me time and time again. I don't think I'm ugly. I saw him I'm alone, so I want to accompany him."

He is a ground wolf with an ugly appearance, no matter whether it is a monster or a god.It is rumored that if you meet a ground wolf, as long as you beat him away, bad luck will not come to you.Therefore, the ground wolf is often bullied by monsters.He wandered all the way, no matter where he went, he came to this small village by accident, and was rescued by Mrs. Liu.

Liu Fuzi has seen the description of the ground wolf in the book "The Corpse", and knows him.But still he stayed.

"Speaking of it, it's not that you are selfish. It's to repay your kindness, but it's just to relieve your loneliness and do things to repay your kindness with revenge."

After Hu Zhi finished cursing, he touched his head suspiciously.No matter how it sounds, it sounds like scolding yourself.He usurped Sikong's bed, asked Sikong to serve him three meals a day, and took his money and land, causing him to work hard in the fields all day... The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt, Hu Zhi decided to give up his bed today. Sikong.

The ground wolf was scolded miserably, sobbing and crying bitterly.

Hu Zhi had no choice but to pat his head comfortingly, and said, "Don't be sad. I promised Mr. Liu's wish. After Mr. Liu leaves, you can follow me into Yueqiao Mountain and arrange a home for you." , you practice hard. When you cultivate great power and find your master’s future generations, you should repay his kindness well. If you come to make this wish, it will definitely come true.”

The ground wolf shook his head and disappeared before Hu Zhi's eyes.

Hu Zhi sighed: "The dog is the most annoying. To recognize the master is a lifetime, and death will never change."

Hu Zhi complained a lot, but he never thought that he is also a canine.

After Sikong came back, Hu Zhi took the initiative to give up... half of the bed to Sikong.

He opened the quilt, lay on his side gracefully, and patted his side: "Akong, come and sleep. From now on, the bed will be half for each person."

Sikong shook his head.

"Don't worry about me, the bed is still very big. It's no problem for two people to lie on it, and they can still hug each other and roll around." Hu Zhi gritted his teeth.You son of a bitch, don't be ignorant of flattery before I repent.

Sikong is used to being teased, if the other party has hints that seem to be nothing, Sikong has been able to calm down.

He replied indifferently: "You have never taken a bath in these days."

"You think I'm dirty? You think I'm dirty!"

Hu Zhi hopped his feet, he is a monster, he can just use a cleansing formula, clean and fragrant, who wants to take a bath every day so much trouble.

Sikong was still indifferent: "There is warm water in the pot, I think it's time for you to take a bath."

Hu Zhi pointed and pointed again: "You wait for me!"

He jumped out of bed resentfully, went to the yard to take a cold shower, and secretly swore through gritted teeth that one day, Sikong begged him to go to bed, but he would not allow it.

Ten days in a blink of an eye.Within ten days, Sikong dug a ditch beside the field.Water is released from the reservoir in the county seat, surrounded by big rivers all the way, and through small waterways criss-crossing the fields, flowing through every field for irrigation.

Sikong stepped on the knee-deep paddy field, inserting rice seedlings into the muddy field.Summer is coming, and the scorching sun makes people sweat like rain.

Hu Zhi half-bent, planting seedlings crookedly, not in rows and vertically, incomparable to Sikong's precise spacing like a chessboard.

The paddy fields are connected like a vast sea.The crops planted in spring seem very small, but they have planted patches of green seas.

On the avenue not far away, a group of people wore white shrouds and carried a dark coffin. The sound of mourning gongs and drums floated far away in the empty fields.Master Liu lived only ten days.There is only one school for people in eight villages. Farmers have always respected scholars, raised some silver taels, and held his funeral in a dignified way.The cemetery was chosen next to his wife's grave, with a tree for shade.

A few days later, the villagers found a small soil bag next to Master Liu's tomb.It's full of sunflowers.Sunflower is the flower of loyalty, and it is said that such flowers will grow on the graves of loyal people.

The dirt bag was dug by Hu Zhi in the middle of the night, and inside was the body of the ground wolf.After all, he chose the best place for himself, which was beside Master Liu.

After flood irrigation, rice fields need to be patrolled every night.Once, the water in someone's field was secretly drained away, causing all the rice seedlings of that family to die due to lack of water. The harvest was not harvested for a year, and they almost hanged themselves to death.Since then, it has become a practice for every household to watch the night and guard the seedlings.

Hu Zhi yawned continuously, with tears in his eyes, he followed Sikong little by little.

"If you are sleepy, go back to sleep." Sikong said softly.

Hu Zhi shook his sleepy head: "It's okay, I'll accompany you."

Perhaps it was Master Liu's death that made Hu Zhi aware of the shortness of human life.In the past ten days or so, Hu Zhi has behaved a lot.Besides, eating people with a soft mouth, under limited conditions, Sikong spared no effort to prepare delicious food for him, which also moved Hu Zhi very much.

Speaking of food, Hu Zhi licked his lips: "When shall we eat roasted frogs tonight?"

Frogs are peeled, fried or grilled spicy, the meat is chewy and tender, but unfortunately there is too little meat, it is not enjoyable to eat.

"Eating for three days is not enough?" Sikong smiled helplessly.

"No, I can still eat for another hundred days." Hu Zhi replied with a smile.

While the two were talking and laughing, an animal suddenly came running in the distance.Branch-like horns, tall and swiftly moving.In a few breaths, a sika deer is close in front of my eyes.

The deer seemed to be spiritual, standing in front of the two of them with its head held high.

"Big deer!" Hu Zhi shouted.

Sikong protected Hu Zhi with half of his body. Although the deer is docile, it is huge. If it goes crazy, it will inevitably be dangerous.

The big deer rubbed against Hu Zhi's arm, and put the antler in his mouth into Hu Zhi's hand.A few days ago, Hu Zhi helped him find the child.Today, the child retired the young horn and specially gave it to Hu Zhi as a thank you.

After delivering the antlers, the big deer cast a glance at Sikong.Sikong read out the word "dislike" from those shiny black eyes, and he watched the sika deer running along the alleys in the field without stepping on a single rice seedling.

This deer actually knows the way? !

Sikong looked at Hu Zhi in disbelief.

Hu Zhi shrugged, pretending to be surprised, and said, "What a spiritual deer."

Sikong: "Why did it give you antlers?"

Hu Zhi: "Probably because I helped him find the little deer cub."

Sikong: "Nonsense."

Miraculous things spread throughout the village in an instant.After all, there were other people patrolling the fields that night.

"Have you heard that the little husband of Sikong's family is the very fierce one. A deer gave him antlers."

"The deer gives antlers, did I hear correctly?"

"It's absolutely true. Think about it, Sikong is cured of his stupidity... A few days ago, he asked me if he had seen his little husband?"

"Not only is it good, but it's also very capable. That acre of land is neat and soft..."

"A few days ago, when I was hunting, I saw him setting traps. He was very tricky and caught several pheasants..."

"Isn't this little husband blessed by heaven? He can always get good things."

The rumors intensified.

Aunt Liu next door heard the rumors and came to visit.

She carried a basket of eggs, entered the yard, put down the basket uneasily, lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes, and remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"A few days ago, I said I would help you by digging the ground. But when my old man went to the mountain to collect medicine, he accidentally broke his leg... and he is still raising it to this day... Auntie, I..."

Yueqiao Mountain is rich in herbs, indeed, many farmers will go out to collect herbs, sell them to the county pharmacy, and subsidize their families.

Hu Zhi glanced at Sikong.Sikong nodded at him.

"Auntie, do you want deer antler to be used as medicine?" Hu Zhi asked bluntly.

Aunt Liu blushed: "I know I'm shameless. But the old man is always in poor health, so he invited a doctor. The doctor said that he hurt his blood and his body is weak, and needs to be mended."

"Auntie, let's make soup." Hu Zhi readily gave the antler to the other party.For Dalu, this is also a merit.

Aunt Liu never expected it to go so smoothly.After all, it is precious velvet antler. Their family contacted the pharmacy and knew that if the medicine was sold in the city, it would cost at least two or thirty taels of silver.This is not a small fortune.Aunt Liu had the mentality of giving it a try before, and wanted to take advantage of it.

"No, no, no... I'll just cut a small piece, and I can take everything away." Aunt Liu didn't dare to take more than she said.

"How about this. You take half of the velvet antler, and sell the other half for us. Sikong and I don't understand medicinal materials, so we are afraid that we will be taken advantage of if we sell them." Hu Zhi suggested a compromise.

Not long after Aunt Liu took the velvet antlers, the second elder brother of the Si family, Si Li and his wife, came to visit.

Sikong's deep and sharp eyes pierced Si Li's chest like a knife, making Si Li sweat profusely.

He still bite the bullet and greeted: "Third brother, third younger sibling."

The second sister-in-law Si took out a crumpled red envelope from her bosom, and stuffed it into Hu Zhi's hand: "Sisters and brothers, this is our little brother and sister-in-law's kindness, so don't be polite."

Hu Zhi opened it, counted it, and said with a sneer, "Ten copper coins."

As soon as the words came out, the second sister-in-law Si burst into tears and cried, "The third sibling doesn't know something. Your second brother seems to be a teacher, a scholar, and a scholar, so he doesn't have to pay taxes. Only my own family can understand. These years, in order for him to take the exam in Qiuwei, our family used the rice basin to be cleaner than his face. It’s only a few months away from Qiuwei, and we really couldn’t make up the money for the trip. That’s why we found our brother with the cheek Home."

She talked a lot, but seeing that Sikong and the two still didn't talk to each other, she continued to sing: "If your second brother wins the exam, it will be the glory of the entire old Si family. How many generations does it take for such a champion to be born, and the ancestors are honored. The younger brother and younger siblings will also follow. Isn't it good? I heard that my younger brother and sister picked up an antler for nothing. It must have been sent by God to see our Si family. This is a good omen. Your second brother must be in high school this time..."

"Give me Hu Zhi's deer antler, what are you doing to your Si family?" Hu Zhi interrupted Si's second sister-in-law's nonsense.

"You can't say that. Once you enter our Si family, you are our Si family." Si Li said.

Hu Zhi continued to rant: "The last time I saw you, I was speechless for a long time. When I saw you this time, I hid behind my wife and was able to speak well..."

Hu Zhi paused, then turned to Sikong and said, "I didn't mean to imply you."

Sikong: ...There is no need to explain.

"Your family has ten acres of paddy fields and three houses. If you really can't solve the problem, you can solve the problem by selling the land and house." Sikong said.

Si Li said angrily: "Third brother, what are you talking about? How can the ancestor's foundation be sold easily? This is a big crime of unfilial piety. I, Si Li, read the books of sages and sages, and do things that have to be filial."

"You take advantage of Liu Fuzi's death, and you are the only teacher in the school, and Shu Xiu has doubled. Is this a righteous thing?"

Because of Master Liu's matter, Hu Zhi paid more attention to the follow-up.From this, I know that Sally has done immoral things.

Sally was stunned speechless again.

The second sister-in-law of Si refused to let go: "Why is this the same thing? Besides, Sikong is not an outsider, so he is a brother of blood. I heard from my elder brother that you have taken back ten acres of land and a lot of silver. Obviously there is more than enough. Money, why don’t you save it?”

"Did Si Quan say that he specially invited the county magistrate and wanted to get the things back, but instead he was kicked out of the pot and stole everything without getting any." Hu Zhi sneered again and again, "You Si family snake A nest of rats, nothing good."

After finishing speaking, Hu Zhi looked at Sikong again.

Sikong smiled helplessly: "I know I didn't say what I meant."

The second sister-in-law Si simply sat down on the ground, patted her thigh, and splashed: "Come and have a look, my brother forgot about it when he got rich—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Hu Zhi stomped his feet, and several cracks appeared on the ground.Hu Zhi said, "Get up!"

Second Wife Si tremblingly got up from the ground.She forgot for a moment that this was a violent master.

"Eldest brother only wants my money, second brother, you probably want my life." Sikong said slowly.

As soon as the words fell, Sili turned pale in an instant, and fled with Si's second sister-in-law.

"What do you mean?" Hu Zhi was puzzled.

"The reason why I entered the forest and was almost eaten by a tiger was that Si Li personally took my hand, led me in, and then left me behind." Sikong said calmly.

"Huh~~~ Your family is really more terrifying than demons." Hu Zhi rubbed his arms, Sikong was so pitiful, he almost fell into the den of demons.

"Fortunately, you met me, otherwise there would be nothing left of you."

Sikong: "It may also degenerate into a demon."

Hu Zhi: "Since you remember that your second brother sent you in, do you remember me, the red fox?"

Hearing this, Sikong glanced at him indifferently: "I will definitely not forget it now."
