Ye Zi's home is at the eastern end of the village. The house is very big. It is different from the houses of other villagers. It is made of blue bricks. The architectural style of the house is very old, with black tiles and tiles engraved with auspicious animals on the roof.
, seems to have some style of the Western Han Dynasty, and it can be seen that this family had an extraordinary status in this area in ancient times.
Ye Zi brought Chen Zhi and others into the house. When everyone walked in, they saw that the indoor layout was very simple. There was a desk in the middle of the hall, with several porcelain bottles placed on it. On top of the desk was a
The hand-painted portrait of a woman has become difficult to see clearly over the years. Beside the hall are a few wooden stools, a square table, the inner room is an earthen kang from the northeastern countryside, and two or three large wooden boxes that have become dark and cannot be seen clearly.
, there are several yellowed old photos hanging on the west wall of the hall. Although the room is simple, it is very clean.
"You guys sit down for a while, and I'll make you some tea." After Ye Zi said this, he shook his braids and turned around to walk indoors.
After Ye Zi left, Fat Wei touched Chen Zhi's feet and whispered. "The foundation of this family is extraordinary. Look at the ground." Fat Wei stepped on his feet and said, "This is called Han Dynasty blue brick. The top is
It's still engraved with words! It's just worn out now. Look at the two bottles on the table, they are called "Jun porcelain". There is a saying in our antique shop, "Even if you have a fortune, it is not as good as a piece of Jun porcelain."
, if you need to take a bottle with you, we will distribute it.
Chen Zhi glared at him fiercely and said, "Don't think so. If you are caught in this village, you will be useless. Even the police officers can't save you."
Fat Wei chuckled and said to Chen Zhi, "Look at how scared you are, how can I, Mr. Wei, do such sneaky things?"
Just as he was talking, Ye Zi walked in, carrying a teapot and a few teacups, and placed them on the wooden table. Chen Zhi and others immediately gathered around and sat beside the table with Xiao Xiao.
Ye Shui poured the tea into cups and handed them to them one by one to drink, saying: "Try it, it will definitely be better than what you drink outside."
Chen Zhi picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She felt that the tea was indeed fragrant and sweet. It was rare to drink tea of this quality in the mountains. She raised her head and asked Ye Zi.
"Sister Ye Zi, I want to ask about one thing. Is your great-grandmother, the Fox Fairy Mother, now in the village? This friend of mine is seriously ill. We came all the way here just to ask the Fox Fairy Mother to see him.
If Mother Fox Fairy says there is no hope, we will give up." Chen Zhi pointed at Fat Wei and said sincerely.
When Fat Wei heard what Chen Zhi said, he immediately echoed: "Miss, just do it. I have a terminal illness and I feel miserable now." Fat Wei started coughing as he spoke, showing that his acting skills were very poor.
Ye Zi looked at them, sneered a few times, and said: "Okay, stop making a big show in front of me. You are not here to seek medical advice at all. You are here for the fox hole, right?"
Chen Zhi and others were immediately stunned. Unexpectedly, this little girl exposed them immediately. They didn't know what to say for a while.
Ye Zi poured himself a cup of tea, drank it calmly and said: "Since I was a child, I have seen many people coming to the fox cave. I heard that the fox cave is in the mountains behind our village, where there is ice and snow all year round. It is a good place to walk."
There is no way out of the virgin forest. Every year, how many people, led by old hunters, go into the mountains to find fox caves, only to end up in Mada Mountain (local dialect: lost in the mountains), never to return. Even the old hunters take a ride in.
Already.
When Chen Zhi heard what Ye Zi said, he felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, and said: "Sister Ye Zi, you have a sharp eye and don't speak secretly. We are here to find the fox hole. Do you have a fox hole here? Is there another one in there?
Is there really a fox fairy?"
Ye Zi flicked his ponytail and said disdainfully: "What kind of fox fairy is there? Fortunately, you are also from big cities outside. How old are you, and you still believe these rumors? I don't know if there is a fox cave, but I haven't seen it anyway.
"Yes. There are rumors that my great-grandmother has lived for a thousand years, and our family is of some kind of fox fairy and human blood. Do you believe it? Let me tell you, in fact, my great-grandmother only has a longer lifespan, and is only over 80 years old this year." Ye Zi said.
After that, he laughed happily, showing his white teeth.
"You see, right? I just said that we were deceived." Fat Wei said helplessly, "They also forced me to pretend to be a terminally ill patient. Who would believe me, who is so fat and strong?"
Ye Zi glanced at Fat Wei and seemed to think he was quite cute. He smiled and said, "Okay! Don't come here in vain. I'll make some game for you so you can try it. You've finished eating.
Let’s go back for dinner. Outsiders are not allowed to stay overnight in this village.” After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Fat Wei followed him obsequiously and went into the kitchen to help.
As soon as Ye Zi and Fat Wei went out, Xiao Guer stood up and walked towards the west wall. Standing there, looking at a photo in a daze, Chen Zhi followed and looked at the photo.
There were many photos hanging on the wall, most of which were photos of Ye Zi and a girl. The girl was sixteen or seventeen years old, and she smiled brightly with Ye Zi.
"Is this Maisui'er?" Chen Zhi asked Xiao Gu.
"Yeah", Xiao Gu'er nodded.
Chen Zhi took a closer look at the girl and immediately understood why Xiao Guer liked her. The girl had a standard face with oval seeds, big eyes, watery eyes, and a bright smile. It was like a clear spring, very pure.
There are leaves in Suier's photos, and the relationship between the two sisters seems to be very good.
Chen Zhi looked through these photos and did not see the photo of the live fox. He asked Xiaogu: "Why is there no photo of the old lady called the live fox? Do you see clearly what the fire fox looks like? In fact,
Even old ladies who have lived for more than a hundred years are common, and they are not necessarily as evil as the legends of living for more than a thousand years."
Chen Zhi never believed that this old lady was that old, and felt that the rumors were false.
"No, that's a living fox that is really evil." When Xiaogu spoke, there was a trace of fear on his face. My dad told me that he had seen a living fox when he was young, and she always looked like an old lady.
I didn't believe it at first, but one time, I followed Mai Sui'er here, and she showed me some old photos that she kept privately at home. Those photos were very old, and there were many photos of big shots and live foxes in them.
.
In fact, this village is to receive these big shots, and the living foxes pray for them to eliminate disasters and help them get rid of their enemies. And..." Xiao Gu'er made a mysterious expression and said, "These villagers are actually very rich."
"Rich? How do you know they are rich?" Chen Zhi asked in surprise.
Xiaogu looked around and replied in a low voice: "I have done a lot of research during this period. There is a classmate of mine in the bank in the city. He said that these villagers often go there to transfer deposits and remittances, often amounting to several million.
"
Chen Zhi felt very strange when he heard this. He didn't expect that this village was so wealthy. Where did the money of these villagers come from? If they have so much money, why do they stay here and suffer? Why don't they go out to enjoy happiness, unless
There is a reason why they have to stay here.
Xiaogu touched Chen Zhi and continued: "What I said is not the focus of the question. The point is that I saw some very private photos of their home. Most of those photos were from 1940 to 199
There are even a few photos taken a few years ago, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, of some big warlords and their families, and that living fox actually appears in those old photos, always looking like an old lady." Xiao Gu'er.
