Chapter 10 The King of "The Story of Reynard Fox" sent the dog Bear Buren to summon Reynard Fox

Bear Bren walked to Maobaidu, the residence of Reynard Fox. The journey is long and difficult.Bren felt that the weather had become very warm during the trek. With the help of the children, Reynard cleverly arranged the environment around the house, disguised Maobaidu, and confused the enemies who came to look for him. Therefore, it was with great difficulty that Bear Brun found the strong castle where Reynard lived.When he finally arrived, he stuck out his tongue, relieved, wanting to take a break. Reynard Fox had just finished his lunch—a fat and tender capon, taking a comfortable nap.The gentle Amolina took care of her husband while doing housework, and kept the children from waking him.

The interior is fresh, comfortable and quiet. Suddenly, the silence was broken by heavy, rhythmic footsteps: Bren was pacing up and down outside the house, looking for a way to get in. To break in violently, and take the prisoner away by sudden violence, or, as a courteous emissary, to invite the king's baron to court? Bren is hesitating.But when he saw the little low door, he gave up his hesitation: how could there be any other way but the gentle way? "Reynard Fox," he cried, "the king's servant Bear Bearn has come to your door. "Please come out quickly and let me convey the king's urgent order. His Majesty the King wants me to escort you to the court immediately.

"Come on, Reynard, don't keep our lord waiting. "They have sued you a lot, and you are going to be sentenced to death. The gallows is waiting for you. So, the matter is extremely urgent!" Reynard was not asleep. He clearly heard the heavy footsteps of Bren walking back and forth in front of the house. He figured out the purpose of the bear and considered the way to receive him, so he didn't panic and didn't seem caught off guard. Then he heard the bear cry a second time, and he answered: "Oh, I wanted to go to the court yesterday. I'm really sorry, my partner, you have worked so hard to let you find this place. But, you see, I am seriously ill."

"Sick?" Bren asked in surprise. "What's wrong with you?" "Hey!" Reynard Fox groaned in pain, "It's caused by the bad weather. Besides, the family has already run out of food, so I can eat anything! But let me not say anything else, first of all, let me thank you very much, thank you for coming to the door Look at me. It is my great pleasure and honor that the king has sent his most capable minister to my house!" "Huh...huh..." Bren gasped, not knowing how to respond to Reynard's polite words.He suddenly remembered that Noble had warned him that Reynard was very clever.

Then Reynard got out of bed.He didn't go out from the gate immediately, but walked around some winding passages in the house for escaping and confusing the enemy, walked out through a small hidden door, and suddenly appeared beside the bear.Startled the bear. "Ah, welcome, welcome, Lord Bear!" said Reynard, "I am ready to go with you. It gives me great pleasure to travel with you, though I still feel a little uncomfortable." "What on earth do you eat when you eat so badly?" Blond Bear asked politely. "Damn honey!" replied Reynard Fox. "Honey?" Bren called excitedly.

"Yeah. I really don't understand why some people are so interested in this nasty thing. I'd rather starve than taste it, but I can't help it if my stomach growls." "Honey!" repeated Bren, the only words that came out of his mouth. "But, Reynard, that's the sweetest food. I'd give anything for honey. "Why don't you like it?" asked the bear.He suddenly became very affectionate with Reynard Fox. "Ah!" said Reynard, "I have been very ill since that meal of honey. Although the neighbor who gave me the honey was very kind to me, and often put a lot of honey in his meal, I still have a lot of honey. I never want to touch it again.”

"Oh, Reynard, what you say! Honey is the tastiest of all foods. I love it. I love it!" "Will you tell me where I can find honey?" continued Brenard, "and if you can tell me, you can count on me to serve you hereafter, as a faithful friend. Ah, Reynard, Honey!" "Then, dear Brenard," said Reynard, "how much honey do you need? I shall gladly take you to a place where you will never be able to eat up all the honey. After that, you still have to beg for mercy!" "Come on, then, and get there!" said Bren. "But, king..." the sly fox pretended.

"The king may wait a little longer! Besides, my dear friend, I will defend you in public and support your position. The charges are, in my opinion, untenable. "Take me to taste the honey there." Reynard Fox immediately set off with Bear Brun. He walked towards the farm of a well-to-do farmer named Lanfy.He had played tricks with this farmer several times in the past, so he knew him. Dusk was approaching and the sun was about to set.Lanfoir had gone home, and the farm was very quiet.Reynard and Brune approached the pile of trunks which Longfwa had cut down for sale. There was a long gash in the trunk of a great oak tree.In order not to waste the work by closing the gap, the woodcutter drove two wedges on either side of the gap.

"Here, here it is," said Reynard fox gently, pointing to the trunk of the tree. "There is a great deal of honey hidden in this crevice. Don't be afraid, my friend, put your mouth in. The more Stretch in, the more honey you will eat, because the honey is hidden very deep. The honey inside may be even more delicious than you imagined!" Bren is a glutton, and he is willing to go to any dangerous place in order to eat delicious food, and he doesn't need any encouragement from others. He danced with joy, without any further urging, he had already put his head into the gap of the big tree, and then his shoulders also went in.

Reynard Fox was not idle at all: he hastily pulled out the wedge that was propping open the gap in the tree. First unplug one, then the other...Bren fell for Reynard's trick. "Eat well, my friend!" Reynolds said mockingly, "Don't make your stomach hurt, eat delicious food in moderation! "I'll wait for you near here. After you finish eating the honey you love so much, we'll go to the court together." Bear Brun seemed to be caught in a vise, and before Reynard Fox finished speaking, he started howling.Painful and frightened, he felt that a catastrophe was imminent, and let out a deafening growl.

Lanfwa, the woodcutter, heard the roar, and with an ax and his servants, he went out to defend his house. Reynard, refusing to leave here with nothing, stole a fat hen and prepared it for supper. "So I can get rid of this big fool," he thought, "and my supper is settled. His Majesty will never see his messengers, and his hatred for me will gradually forget, and everything will go well." Passed on smoothly. Ah! how beautiful life is!" To celebrate this achievement, Reynard decided to have a picnic.He took the hen to a clear, cheerful little river nearby, and sat down comfortably to taste the delicacy. Just as he was finishing the last piece of chicken, he saw something huge floating down the river. how?Are you dazzled?Isn't that Bear Brun?Did he escape through the clefts of the trees and the woodcutter's axe? That's right, it was him.But what has become of him: a piece of skin has been peeled off his head, one ear is gone, blood is dripping from his mouth, and he looks really scary. "That Lanfwa is as stupid as I expected." Reynard thought, "I sent him such a good thing that he can use it for a season, and he only has to take it from the trunk. , but let him run away. Hey! What a fool!" "What's the matter, my friend?" he called to the bear. "Have you had enough honey? I was waiting for you here in the shade, and I didn't expect you to come so soon. "But, what's the matter with you? Maybe you ran into a bee by chance? That's why your head looks so strange. Why are your hands so red? Did you take off the black gloves? Or is there a miracle, you killed Lanfy, the woodcutter, dead?" Bear Brun didn't answer.He had suffered all the humiliation and pain, and now he just let his body go with the flow.The cool water relieved his severe pain a little. Poor Bren!It turned out that he had tried with all his might to free himself from the vise when he heard Lanfva and his servants rushing out.Because of fear, he struggled desperately, and finally broke free from the gap between the trees, but he became what Reynard Fox saw.Wounded and bloodied, pained and furious, he escaped at last from Lanfwa and his servants, the neighbors, and the watchdogs. It was the women who saved him: they claimed to help but were actually terrified, running around and getting in the way of the men.One of the women fell into the river when he ran up to Bren, and everyone scrambled to save her.Bren took the opportunity to jump into the river too, and let the river be his savior. The bear drifted far away amidst Reynard's fox's ridicule.He was now thinking of how to explain this errand to the king.
