Chapter 8 over the snow

One (little fox Konzaburo) The snow is frozen harder than marble, and the sky is like a cold and smooth bluestone slab. 'Hard snow bang bang, frozen snow clang. ' The sun was burning white, emitting the fragrance of lilies, and shining the snow field. The branches are covered with hoarfrost, like a layer of coarse sugar, shiny. 'Hard snow bang bang, frozen snow clang. ' Shiro and Hanzi wore small straw boots, bouncing and walking on the field. There could never be a happier day for the little siblings than today.Because no matter it is the cornfield where you can't walk on weekdays, or the field full of foxtails, you can play to your heart's content today.The flat place is really like a plank.And like countless small mirrors, twinkling and twinkling.

'Hard snow bang bang, frozen snow clang. ' The little brother and sister came near the forest.The branches of tall cypress trees in the forest are covered with crystal clear icicles, which are bent heavily and hunched over. 'Hard snow bang bang, frozen snow clang.Little, little, little fox, marry, marry, marry a bride. ' shouted the little brother and sister facing the woods. But there was silence in the forest.The little brothers and sisters took a deep breath, and when they were about to shout again, a voice came from the forest. 'Frozen snow clangs, hard snow bangs. '

It turned out that a little fox came out stepping on the snow. Shiro was taken aback for a moment, then pulled Hanzi behind him, spread his feet and stood firmly, and then shouted: 'Fox clang clang, little white fox, I will find you a bride if you want to marry. ' Although the fox was small, he put on airs and twirled his beard like silver needles and said: 'Silang bang bang, Hanzi clang, little fox, I don't want a bride. ' Shiro replied with a smile: 'Fox clang clang, little white fox, do you want rice cakes if you don't want a bride? ' The little fox shook his head two or three times, and replied humorously:

'Silang bang bang, Hanzi dangdang, may I treat you to eat corn dumplings? ' Hanzi also found it very interesting, and hid behind Shiro, he sang in a low voice: 'Fox clangdang little white fox, the fox's dumplings are made of rabbit dung. ' The little fox Konzaburo said with a smile: 'No no, that's not the case.How can smart kids like you eat yellow dumplings made of rabbit droppings?The accusation that the fox will lie, is not true, we are innocent. ' Shiro replied in surprise: 'Is it true that foxes can lie? ' Konzaburo enthusiastically explained:

'Of course it's false.And that's the biggest lie in the world.Those who say they were tricked by a fox are either drunks or cowards.There is a very interesting thing. On a moonlit night a few days ago, old man Jinhei sat in front of our house and sang joruri all night.We all ran out to watch him sing. ' 'Grandpa Jinbingwei doesn't sing Jingliuli, he should sing the song of waves. ' shouted Shiro. The little fox Konzaburo suddenly realized: 'Well, maybe it's the wave song.In short, you come to eat dumplings!The dumpling I want to invite you to eat is the one I plowed the land, sowed, weeded, harvested, milled, kneaded, steamed, and then sprinkled with sugar.How about it?Would you like to have a plate? '

Shiro smiled back and said: "Konzaburo, we just ate rice cakes, so we're not hungry."Would you like to eat again next time? ' The little fox Konzaburo clapped his short hands happily: 'real?Then wait for the slide show to eat!You must come!The slide show will be held on a moonlit night when the snow freezes next time. It will start at 8 o'clock. Let me give you tickets.How many do you want? ' 'To five. ' Shiro said back. 'Five?One for each of you, who will you give the other three to? Konzaburo asked again. 'Give them to brother. ' Shiro said back.

'Your brother, they are all under eleven years old, right? Konzaburo asked again. 'My little brother is in the fourth grade, eight years old plus four years old is twelve years old, he is twelve years old. ' Konsaburo twirled his beard again solemnly and said: 'That's really sorry, your brother and the others can't participate.You two are here.I have a special guest seat for you.It's very interesting. The first slide is "No Drinking". That's the old man Taiemon and Kiyosaku in your village. They drank too much alcohol and became dizzy. They wanted to eat strangely shaped buns and noodles in the wild. films.I also shot it in the camera.The second part is "Beware of Trap", which is a painting of our Konbee who was caught in a trap in the wilderness.This one is a painting I drew, not a photo.The third one is "Beware of the Flame", which is a video of our Konsuke with his tail on fire when he came to your house.You must come and see it. '

The little siblings nodded happily. Then, the little fox pursed his lips, stomped his feet, shook his head and pondered for a while, and finally seemed to have an idea, waved his hands, beat the time, and sang: Frozen snow clangs, hard snow bangs The wild steamed buns are hot and fragrant Drunk Taemon wobbles Last year I ate thirty-eight Frozen snow clangs, hard snow bangs The wild noodles are hot and fragrant Drunk Kiyosaku shaking I ate thirteen bowls last year Shiro and Hanzi were also attracted by the fox's dancing posture, and they danced lightly. Jump, jump, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

Shiro sang: 'Fox clang clang, little white fox, fox Konbee last year, broke into the trap with his left foot, clang clang clang clang clang clang clang. ' Hanzi also sang: 'Fox clang clang, little white fox, fox kansuke last year, stealing grilled fish and burning his butt, screaming and screaming. ' Jump, jump, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom... The three walked into the depths of the forest singing and dancing.Bright red magnolia buds like sealing wax swayed in the cold wind and shone with light.The blue tree shadows are reflected on the snow in the forest, like a dense net, and where the sun is shining, it is like silver lilies blooming on the snow.

The little fox Konzaburo said: 'Let's call out the fawn!The fawn is very good at playing the flute. ' Shiro and Hanzi applauded.Then, the three of them shouted in unison: 'The hard snow is bang bang, the frozen snow is clanging, little deer, I want to marry a bride. ' As soon as the shouting stopped, there came a high-pitched voice: 'North wind whistling Feng Saburo, west wind whistling Yousaburo. ' The little fox pouted and said contemptuously: 'That's the deer.Very timid, probably won't come out, do you want to call again? ' Then the three of them shouted again:

'The hard snow is bang bang, the frozen snow is clanging, little deer, I want to marry a bride. ' Although there was a response from a distance, it was impossible to tell whether it was the sound of the wind, the sound of the flute, or the singing of the deer. 'North wind whirring, whirring West wind whistling, whistling. ' The little fox twirled his beard again and said: 'When the snow becomes soft, the road will be difficult to walk, so go home quickly.Next time the snow freezes and the moon comes out again, you can come and play again.Come see the slide show I just talked about. ' So Shiro and Hanzi sang again: 'Hard snow bang bang, frozen snow clang. ' I went home through the silvery white snow. 'Hard snow bang bang, frozen snow clang. ' Part 2 (Slide show at Fox Elementary School) The pale fifteenth moon of the lunar calendar quietly boarded the ice peak. The snow is crystal clear and shining with blue light, and it is frozen as hard as a cold stone. Shiro recalled the date with the little fox Konzaburo, and whispered to his sister Kanko: 'Tonight is Fox's slide show, do you want to go? ' 'go!go!Fox clang clang little fox, clang clang fox Konzaburo. 'Hanzi jumped up and down with joy and shouted loudly. The second elder brother Erlang heard what they said and said: 'Are you going to play with the fox?I want to go too. ' Shiro shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment: 'Brother, but only children under the age of eleven can participate in Fox's slide show, and it's written on the admission ticket. ' 'What about tickets?Let me see.Haha, non-student parents, brothers and sisters, all guests over the age of twelve will be refused entry.The fox is quite serious in what he does!Then I can't participate, there is no way, if you are going, bring some rice cakes by the way.Oh, yes, let's take this big round rice cake for the gods. ' Shiro and Hanzi put on their straw boots and set out on the road with rice cakes on their backs. Dalang, Erlang, and Sanlang, the three elder brothers, stood at the door and ordered: 'go to play.Remember to close your eyes quickly when you meet the old fox.Come, let us cheer for you!The hard snow is bang bang, the freezing snow is clanging, foxes, foxes, little foxes, want to marry a bride. ' The moon hung high in the night sky, and the woods were covered with a layer of white mist.The little brothers and sisters came to the mouth of the woods. At the mouth of the wood stood a little white fox with an acorn badge pinned to his chest. 'Good night.Good morning.Do you have tickets? ' 'Have. The little brothers and sisters handed out the tickets. 'Come this way please. Blinking his eyes, the little fox bent down seriously, stretching out his hand to point out the depths of the woods. In the forest, the moonlight is like countless blue wooden sticks, piercing obliquely.The little brother and sister came to an open space. Many fox school students had gathered in the open space, some were throwing chestnut skins at each other, some were playing sumo wrestling.What's more interesting is that there is a little fox the size of a mouse riding on the neck of a slightly bigger fox, trying to catch the stars. A white sheet was hung on a tree in front of the foxes. Suddenly, a voice came from behind: 'Good night and welcome.Faux pas the other day. ' Shiro and Hanzi were taken aback, and when they looked back, it turned out to be Konzaburo. Konzaburo was wearing a neat tuxedo with daffodils pinned to his chest, and was wiping his pointed mouth with a snow-white handkerchief. Shiro bowed slightly in return and said: 'What a disrespect these days.Thank you for inviting us to the party tonight.These rice cakes are a little meaning, please try them. ' The students of Fox School all focused on Shiro and Hanzi. Konzaburo held out his chest, and took the rice cake in a serious manner. 'That's really embarrassing, thank you.Please play slowly, the slide show will start right away.I have something to do, excuse me first. ' Konzaburo left holding the rice cake. The students of Fox School shouted in unison: 'The hard snow is bang bang, the frozen snow is bang bang, the hard rice cake is bang bang hard, and the white rice cake is bang bang white. ' At this time, a large sign was hung on the side of the curtain, which read: 'Present: a lot of rice cakes.Presenter: Human Shiro and Hanzi. ' The students of Fox School clapped happily. Then, with a beep, the flute sounded. Konzaburo came out from the curtain while clearing his throat.It bowed politely, and the venue suddenly became silent. 'It's a fine evening, with the moon like a pearl dish and the stars like dewdrops frozen over a field.The slide show starts now.Please don't blink or sneeze, just keep your eyes open! In addition, there are two distinguished guests here tonight, please keep quiet.Never throw chestnut skins at guests.That concludes the opening remarks. ' The foxes responded with thunderous applause.Shiro whispered to Hanzi: Konzaburo is really eloquent. ' Beep..., the flute sounded. Several big characters of 'no drinking' appeared on the screen.After the handwriting disappeared, a picture appeared.On the screen is a drunken old man holding a round strange thing in his hand and wanting to eat it. The fox students tapped their feet and sang: Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Frozen snow clangs, hard snow bangs The wild steamed buns are hot and fragrant Drunk Taemon wobbles Last year I ate thirty-eight Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom After the screen disappeared, Shiro whispered to Hanzi again: 'This is the song that Konzaburo sang. ' Another picture appeared on the screen.On the picture is a drunk young man, who is sticking his head into a bowl made of Magnolia officinalis leaves, wondering what he is eating.Konzaburo, who was wearing a white hakama, stood opposite and watched. The foxes stomped again and sang: Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Frozen snow clangs, hard snow bangs The wild noodles are hot and fragrant Drunk Kiyosaku shaking I ate thirteen bowls last year Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom After the screen disappears, it's time for a break. There was a cute little fox girl who brought two plates of corn dumplings. Shiro felt very embarrassed.Because he had just seen the picture of Taiemon and Kiyosaku eating strange things that he didn't know the details of. Moreover, all the students of Fox School were staring at them, whispering happily: "Will you eat it? 'Can you eat it?'" Hanzi was holding the plate, blushing with embarrassment.So Shiro made up his mind and said: 'Let's eat, let's eat, I don't believe that Konzaburo would deliberately lie to us. ' So the little brothers and sisters ate up the corn dumplings. Oh, the taste of the dumpling is really delicious. Seeing this, the fox students were so happy that they couldn't help dancing. Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom sunny day moonlight at night Even if the body is torn Fox students don't lie Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom sunny day moonlight at night Even if you freeze to death by the side of the road Fox students don't steal Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom sunny day moonlight at night Even if the fur is peeled off Fox students are not jealous Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Shiro and Hanzi were moved to tears. Beep..., the flute sounded again. The big characters of 'Beware of Trap' appeared on the screen, and after the characters disappeared, a picture was released immediately.The painting depicts the fox Konbei's left foot being snareted. The fox students sang again: 'Fox clang clang, little white fox, fox Konbee last year, broke into the trap with his left foot, clang clang clang clang clang clang clang. ' Shiro whispered to Hanzi: 'This is the song I sang that day. ' The picture disappeared, and the words 'beware of the flame' appeared on the screen again, and then another picture was reflected.That was the scene of the fox Konsuke trying to steal the grilled fish, and his tail caught fire. The fox students booed again: 'Fox clang clang, little white fox, fox kansuke last year, stealing grilled fish and burning his butt, screaming and screaming. ' After the sound of the flute sounded and the screen brightened, Konzaburo came out again to deliver a speech: 'Everyone, this is the end of tonight's slide show.We must not forget one thing tonight, that is, two smart and not drunk human children tasted the dumpling made by our fox.In the future, when we grow up to be big foxes, we must never lie or play tricks on others, and we will change the misunderstandings that humans have had about us so far with practical actions.These are the closing remarks. ' The fox students were so moved that they raised their hands and cheered, and all of them stood up.And there were tears in his eyes. Konzaburo walked up to the two little brothers and sisters and bowed deeply. 'goodbye.We will never forget your kindness tonight. ' The little brothers and sisters also returned a salute and walked towards home. The fox students chased after them, and each of them stuffed some acorns, chestnuts, and shiny green stones into their arms or pockets. 'this is for you. ''Accept this. ' After finishing speaking repeatedly, he fled back like the wind. Konzaburo just watched with a smile on his face. The little brother and sister walked out of the forest and came to the field. On the snow-covered field, in the middle of the distance, there are three black shadows walking towards this side.It turned out that it was the three older brothers who came to welcome the younger brothers and sisters.
