The white fox looked at us with cold eyes. Under the moonlight, its white fur exuded a faint silvery glow.
Sure enough, it was the white fox that Grandpa and the others talked about. The white fox's fur was smooth and soft, as white as snow, without any variegation, and its pupils were a coquettish blood red, like rubies shining in the dark.
What a white fox that has become a spirit!
The white fox stood on a big tree not far from us, watching me and the loach.
"Dongfang, do you think this fox is male or female? If it's a female fox, wouldn't it be beautiful in human form?" Loach looked at the fox on the tree and said sincerely.
"I said you have a big heart, Loach. Facing the fox that has become a spirit all the time, we are lucky to be alive. Do you still have the heart to care about these issues?"
Loach chuckled, "Aren't I just telling a joke to relieve the tense atmosphere?"
Faced with Loach's nonsensical spirit, I could only reply with "haha".
"Squeak..." The white fox that had been watching me and Loach suddenly changed its face, opened its mouth to reveal its neat and sharp teeth, and roared at us with a fierce expression.
"You two little bastards, how dare you ruin my good deeds!" The white fox opened his mouth and said menacingly.
However, the voice of this white fox is relatively deep, and it looks like a male fox at first glance.
"Dongfang, look, this white fox can actually talk!" Loach pointed at the white fox and said in surprise.
"Calm down! Isn't it just a white fox that has become a spirit? What's so great about it?" I said lazily.
My tone sounded very relaxed. In fact, I was quite afraid of the white fox. However, the white fox was standing in front of us at this moment. I must not let him see that I was hungry or fearful, otherwise he would become even more unscrupulous.
This is what my grandfather taught me. No matter whether you are facing a person or a ghost, you should never let the other person see the fear in your heart.
As I said that, I puffed up my chest and tried to look indifferent.
The white fox stared at me with a pair of narrow fox eyes. Foxes are very smart, especially this fox who became a spirit. I don't know if he saw anything from me.
"Hmph! You two wait, I won't let you go!" the white fox warned us in a cold voice, and then he turned his head and ran towards the depths of the forest.
Watching the white fox go away, I breathed a sigh of relief.
This white fox has become a spirit. I can't tell its true identity. Facing such an old fox, perhaps only an old man like Grandpa who has also become a spirit can deal with it.
"Dongfang, that white fox said he wouldn't let us go, and now he's running away like this?" Loach said in disbelief.
I sneered, "The fox continues to be cunning and vicious. Although I don't know the specific reason, the white fox is not showing mercy to us now."
But no matter what, the white fox has run away, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.
Then Niyi and I went to check on the village chief's condition. There were no injuries on the village chief's body, but his breath was weak and his body was weak. It seemed that he needed a good rest to recuperate.
I left the village chief at my home that night, planning to notify his family to pick him up the next day.
I boiled a bowl of talisman water for the village chief to drink. The village chief was still groggy most of the time and only woke up for a moment at night.
While the village chief was awake, he also told me how he got entangled by the white fox.
It turned out that after the dug-out coffin was delivered to my house that day, the village chief rushed to his home, but suddenly a white wind blew by while walking on the road, and then the village chief's eyes went dark and he knew everything.
After the village chief said this, he fell into a deep sleep again. Early the next morning, the village chief's son picked him up.
After the village chief left, I stayed at home and continued to study "Yin Yang Magic Encyclopedia".
It has only been a few days since I left school. Ever since I learned about the existence of Japanese ghost soldiers in our school, the school has become a cold and evil place in my mind.
And those Japanese ghost soldiers have also become a thorn in my heart. I have already dealt with the Japanese ghost soldiers. If I don't get rid of the Japanese ghost soldiers, it will be difficult for me to feel at ease.
In the next few days, I stayed at home to draw talismans and recite mantras. In addition, I did not abandon the practice of "Three Purities".
During this period, both Meng Shiyu and Ni Loach invited me to have dinner at their respective homes, but they were both rejected.
Time flies, when there are fewer beautiful girls wearing skirts on the street, when the weather is a little cooler, early autumn is here, and it is time to start school.
On the first day of school, I went to school early to report. The university I attended was called Dongcheng University, which is a second-tier university in Dongcheng City.
As mentioned before, Dongcheng University is built in the mountains and is very close to our respective homes. It is precisely for this reason that Ni Loach and I applied for it.
Although I had already guessed that when I went back to school, the campus would not be as full of laughter and joy as it used to be.
But I didn't expect it would happen so quickly!
After busying myself with everything during the day, I hadn’t seen my familiar classmates for two months. Everyone was very excited to meet again. I made an appointment with a few close classmates to go out for dinner and drinks in the evening to celebrate.
In addition to Ni Loach and I, there were three other people who went out together: Xu Ran, Zhang Yu, and Li Minghui.
We chose a small restaurant near the school.
During the meal, a few of us chatted and laughed and talked about the interesting things we have encountered in the past two months.
"Hey, do you know? Just a few days ago, a strange thing happened in our school." Xu Ran, who had always been lively and cheerful after drinking for three rounds, said in a hurry.
When Xu Ran said this, my heart sank. Could it be that the Japanese ghost soldiers in the school came out to cause trouble again?
Loach and I looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
"Then why don't you tell us more carefully?" I popped a peanut into my mouth and said easily.
"Okay, since you all want to hear it, then I will talk to you carefully." In fact, we all know Xu Ran's character, he is a person who can't hide his words.
Xu Ran looked at our interested expressions and began his narration, "Just a few days ago, someone saw an old lady holding a black umbrella outside our school who always walked around in front of our school. I was like this
Let me tell you, you may not find it scary, but if you see it with your own eyes, you will know how breathtaking the scene is!"
The weird things Xu Ran said were not about Japanese ghost soldiers, which made me feel at ease a little bit.
Loach looked at Xu Ran with disdain, "What you said is so ridiculous. In fact, to be honest, you heard it yourself and never saw it with your own eyes."
Seeing that Loach didn't believe it, Xu Ran became anxious and said, "Who said that? Although I have never seen the old lady holding the black umbrella with my own eyes, someone took a picture of it with a mobile phone and I will show it to you."
Xu Ran said, turning on his phone and finding the photo of the old lady holding a black umbrella to show us.
In that photo, you can only see a back figure, which is slightly curved and holding a black umbrella.
"I'll go, isn't it Xu Ran? You don't even have a straight face, you just want to scare us?" Zhang Yu curled his lips and said.
"Not bad!" Xu Ran drank a glass of beer and continued, "Think about it for yourselves. A person holding a black umbrella passed by you in the middle of the night. Are you not afraid? Someone took this photo. It's already good!
"
The old lady holding a black umbrella was an interlude. We did not continue to dwell on this topic and continued drinking and eating.
The meal took a long time, and two of the five people were drunk. Only Loach and I were sober.
Because Zhang Yu had other things to do, he left before the dinner was over.
Li Minghui rented a house outside, but he was very drunk now. After some discussion with Ni Loach, we decided that Ni Loach would send Li Mingyu to his own residence, and I would send Xu Ran back to his residence.
Xu Ran smelled of alcohol. I supported him and he kept talking drunken words along the way.
"Come, drink, finish this cup, there are three more!"
When we walked to the school gate, Xu Ran acted dishonestly in my arms and started moving around. We both almost fell down.
"Okay! Just stop saying a few words! I'll send you back right away." I said helplessly.
"Dong...Dongfang...look, there are people holding black umbrellas this late at night?" Xu Ran said with a big mouth.
"Stop talking nonsense, who is this late at night..." Before I could finish my words, my body shook violently, and I opened a black umbrella?
I turned my head and looked in the direction of Xu Ran's finger. Under the cover of the night, I saw a man holding a black umbrella walking leisurely on the road opposite the school.
The person holding the umbrella seemed to feel that I was looking at her. She turned around and looked at me, and I was able to see her true face. She was an old lady!
