The days when I farmed in Liaozhai

chapter 4

The land that was scorched during last fall's harvest still looks freshly charred.The little fox demon jumped into the scorched ground first, and ran in circles, wagging its tail.

Fu Duoxi walked to the center of the scorched earth, bent down and picked up a piece of scorched soil, before she could straighten up, the scorched soil instantly turned into a wisp of fly ash, and the ash flew away in the blink of an eye.

"Ah! There's a demonic aura..."

Fuduo looked at the little fox demon who suddenly shouted in surprise.

The little fox demon immediately jumped in front of Fu Duoxi, raised his short, fat calf and kicked the scorched earth twice, "I mean, there is a demonic aura in this field, I can smell it! If there is a demonic aura, there will be no crops." He said Sucking his nose and frowning, it is obvious that the evil smell is not as good as chicken soup.

"Is there any way to get rid of the evil spirit? Whether we can eat white rice depends on this piece of land..."

Fu Duoxi was calm.Even if the scorched land in front of me can't grow rice, I can support myself by opening up wasteland and farming in the mountains behind the dilapidated hut.

After being told by Fu Duoxi, the little fox demon stuttered and couldn't speak.After thinking for a while, turning his fox eyes, he said timidly:

"Well... I can inquire about it, and I will go to Yashan to inquire about it in a while. Don't worry, sister, there must be a way."

Fu Duoxi nodded.

The little fox demon has been popularized by Fuduoxi. There are all kinds of ghosts and monsters living in the bamboo forest of Yashan, some of them are good and some are bad, but most of them will not set foot in the territory of people's life.As long as you don't violate them, they won't hurt anyone.

The reason why Nanping Village listed the Yashan behind the broken thatched hut as a forbidden area is because a long time ago, the owner of the broken thatched hut went hunting on Yashan and did not return home for more than ten days. A strong boy went to Yashan to look for it, but the five or six strong boys never came back.

The villagers panicked and rushed to the county government to report the case, hoping that the government could send officers to Yashan to search for people. As a result, the officials only walked into the Yashan bamboo forest and then returned. Not only did they stop searching for people, but they also issued a notice. .

Two good-hearted villagers sneaked into the bamboo forest of Yashan Mountain together, trying to find out the reason why the official sent back, but the two villagers never returned.From then on, the people of Nanping Village became convinced that the bamboo forest in Yashan was a forbidden area, and they dared not take another step.

Those young people were bewildered by the goblins in Yashan, and they voluntarily stayed in Yashan to live with the goblins, so they couldn't return...

Human beings go their own way, and living with goblins is of course not a good thing.The existence of the forbidden area is very necessary.

"Fox Xiaomeng, you said that monsters don't invade each other, so why did you run into the village? What should you do if you are caught?"

"I seldom go into the village, let alone to the south of the village. Who made my sister's chicken soup so delicious? I really can't help but want to smell it..."

The little fox demon squinted at Fu Duoxi.

"Go and inquire about the news, I will make braised chicken and wait for you."

Fu Duoxi smiled and patted the little fox demon's head.The little fox demon nodded, spread her legs and ran, and disappeared from Fu Duoxi's sight in the blink of an eye.

Fu Duoxi carefully stepped on the field ridges and walked up the official road, his eyes fell on the scorched land beside the official road, from the scorched traces, it could be vaguely seen that it was originally the area of ​​three rooms.I don't know if it's the original owner's selective amnesia, and he has no special impression of the house occupied by the little uncle.

The sound of hoofbeats approached from far away, and a carriage appeared on the official road to the west.

The carriage stopped by the side of the road, and the driver jumped out of the carriage, and took a small wooden bucket from the carriage rack to fetch water from the pond.

The curtain of the flat-roofed carriage was lifted, revealing the faces of two young girls meeting each other.Seeing Fu Duoxi, the two girls chattered and waved for Fu Duoxi to get into the car.

Fu Duoxi didn't know them, so he smiled slightly at their hot news.Turning around, I saw Song Xiaolian trotting over from the village, followed by her parents. Her mother kept calling Xiaolian's name, her plump body trembling from running, and finally handed the bundle in her hand to her daughter when Xiaolian climbed into the carriage. on hand.

"I thought that girl was with us!"

"That girl is so pretty!"

……

Xiao Lian climbed into the car, and the car became even more lively. Someone poked his head out of the car window and looked at Fu Duoxi...

Fu Duoxi was about to turn around and go back, when he suddenly heard Xiaolian calling her, he stopped and turned around to look at the shadow of the car, only to see Xiaolian poking out most of her body from the door curtain and waving vigorously at her, and also raised her hand to wave Waving, watching the carriage go away.

"What a joy, are you here to see Xiaolian off too?"

"..."

Seeing Xiaolian's mother, Fu Duoxi was speechless, so he smiled politely.There was a smile on Xiao Lianniang's face, but tears seemed to be in her eyes, she probably couldn't bear her daughter leaving home for too long.

"I don't know if Xiaolian can learn the sacrificial dance. If she can't learn it in half a month, it will be a shame!"

"Little Lian is smart, she must have studied well."

Fu Duoxi comforted Xiaolianniang a few words, instead of walking along the village road with her, he walked quickly back home from the stream along the way he came.

When the sun was about to set, Fu Duoxi saw the listless figure of the little fox demon from a distance from the back window.

"that……"

Fu Duoxi looked at the little fox demon rubbing his paws awkwardly but politely and twisting his waist, "Didn't you find out the way to get rid of the evil spirit?"

The little fox demon nodded helplessly, then hurriedly shook her head.

"You don't have to beat around the bush when you talk to me. If you have something to say, we try our best to solve the problem. If we can't solve it, we can't force it."

Fu Duoxi suddenly remembered what her grandfather often taught her, "Everything depends on human effort, do your best in everything, but please leave no regrets."

It is very quiet outside the window, you can hear the rush of the stream passing by.I don't know why, since those pheasants hit the wall yesterday, the surrounding area of ​​the dilapidated thatched hut has been extraordinarily quiet.

"Hmm." The little fox demon pursed her lips, "I've inquired about it, and only Xue Nu can eliminate the evil spirit in that field. But... Xue Nu has already retreated at this time, so I'm sure I can't invite her. However, sister If she comes forward, I believe Xue Nu will definitely come out."

"Oh? You want me to go to the forbidden area?"

Fu Duoxi is quite courageous, but he will not risk his life.

"No no no."

The little fox demon scratched his face anxiously and explained: "My sister is not an ordinary person, she can enter the forbidden area. The Snow Maiden is in the bamboo forest, my sister doesn't have to go up the cliff mountain, it's tiring to climb the cliff mountain, I don't want my sister to be too tired..."

"Are you sure there is no danger?"

"No, no, I promise, I can use my life to guarantee the safety of my sister!"

There are tens of thousands of roads in the world, and health and life are the first.Fu Duoxi looked at the little fox demon desperately patting his belly as a guarantee, and stretched out his hand to press his heart.

She is indeed not an ordinary person in this world.She is an atheist and has always insisted on materialism, but she was taught a lesson by the little fox demon just after arriving in this world.A little fox that has lived for more than 250 years can speak human language, think like a human, and work like a human...

"Or don't eat white rice this year..."

Safety first.

Fu Duoxi lifted the lid of the pot to serve the braised chicken.

"Then I'll go take a look again. If Xuenv knows that her sister is not an ordinary person, she will definitely come and take a look."

The little fox demon swallowed her saliva while looking at the oily braised chicken, but decided to make another trip to complete the task.
