Chapter 5 Chapter Three: A Fox Marries a Daughter

I don't know how many years ago, I once read a fairy tale called "The Fox Marries a Daughter". The book tells the story of a boy who accidentally saw the team of a fox marrying a daughter. Originally, according to the family rules, if the bride who was seen by a human did not kill the human, she would never be able to marry again. The boy let him go, and the boy regretted it after returning home, so he started traveling, looking for the fox girl everywhere, because he wanted to say "I'm sorry" to her himself. It is conceivable that the author who wrote that fairy tale is definitely an idealist, and it is certain that he has never seen the situation of the fox marrying a daughter, otherwise he would not write the story so imaginative and childlike.

A fox marrying a daughter brings nothing but fear to humans! It was quiet all around, and the rain was still pattering, pattering on the eaves. I don't know if it was because I was too tired, but the girl fell asleep on my chest. It was so quiet, the surrounding area was too quiet, and Xia Chan, who was screaming vigorously not long ago, suddenly shut her mouth. fog!When did the fog start?Thick, almost viscous, white gas poured into the room, constantly churning before my eyes.I squinted my eyes, but I could only see three meters away. The surroundings became more quiet, no, it was silence!The sound of the rain disappeared, and my ears couldn't receive any sound for a while, as if my whole body was suddenly thrown into a vacuum where no sound waves were transmitted. I was so uncomfortable that I almost screamed.

Suddenly, the whole world started to vibrate, silently, and I saw a large group of black shadows coming in from the thick fog on the left, passing by my eyes, and then slowly disappearing on the right. There were an unknown number of people in that team, and it took a long time before a sedan chair-like thing was carried over by several black shadows.The sedan chair was nothing like the people who passed by before. No matter how hard I looked at those people, I could only see a blurred shadow, but the sedan chair was different. I could clearly see the patterns carved on it and the inside of the sedan chair. Sitting people.

It was a girl, probably only in her teens.She was wearing a plain white kimono with a cherry blossom pattern on her upper body, her hair was neatly tied back and tied tightly with a tortoise shell comb, and the pure white bridal hijab and veil covered her hair and most of the girl's face. Although I couldn't see her face clearly, I somehow felt familiar with that girl, as if I had seen her somewhere before. The girl on top of me hugged me tighter, and she gasped slightly.I looked down and saw her eyes were tightly closed, her face was pale, and there was a lot of sweat on her forehead.

After a long time, the black shadows disappeared completely, and the fog gradually began to disperse. The light moonlight shined on both of us through the window. The girl moved slightly, and then sat up. "Is that the married daughter of a fox?" I asked, suppressing my beating heart. The girl half-kneeled on the ground, blushing, and nodded slightly. "Is the fox's bride a human girl snatched from nearby?" "Hmm." The girl grinned and tried to smile, but failed, and only made a very strange expression as acquiescence to my question. I snorted and asked angrily, "Then those shadows are fox demons!"

The girl suddenly raised her head and stared at me, her big beautiful eyes were full of horror. "Did you see it?" she asked anxiously. "Yes." I nodded. "Why do you open your eyes, do you want to die so much?!" The girl's tone was filled with sorrow and slight anger. I scratched my head and said nonchalantly, "They've all passed by, and they didn't notice that I was peeping, it's okay." "What do you mean no problem! There is a big problem!" The girl stood up quickly, took my hand and walked out the door, "Let's get out of here quickly, or we will die if we are late!"

"What's going on?" I asked confusedly. I saw the girl trembling all over, and took a few steps back suddenly, almost crashing into my arms. "Looks like it's still too slow!" The girl murmured with a face full of panic, her eyes staring out of the window. I followed her line of sight, and suddenly felt a chill creeping up my spine, freezing my heart.I saw a huge black shadow quietly floating not far from the house. I can't see what it looks like, but I can clearly feel it watching me. It feels like the prey has been locked by a predator. My knees start to tremble under the gaze of that eyeless thing. Up, for no reason, I felt fear.

That fear was like a wave, and wave after wave of madness rushed to my reason.My brain keeps sending out danger signals, reminding me to try my best to escape as soon as possible.The black shadow showed a ferocious smile, and it seemed to be laughing as it kept approaching the hut. Finally it floated in through the window, and the irresistible fear woke me up instead.I yelled, picked up a piece of burning wood and threw it at the shadow, then grabbed the girl's hand and ran out of the hut, sprinting towards the direction where the fox married his daughter. I don't know how long we have been running, but the black shadow has been following us unhurriedly, as if we are determined that we will not be able to escape from its grasp.I ran away for a while, and suddenly my eyes lit up, and I ran back to the homestay where I stayed at night. I was too happy, I rushed into the living room immediately, picked up the phone and wanted to call the police, but no matter how I fiddled with it, the phone There is always only the mute tone.

WTF!Could this be the work of that fox demon?Depend on!When did ghosts learn to harass these high-tech things? I started cursing from the ancestor of the fox demon, Yuzao, all the way to the Inari Shrine where the fox fairy is enshrined. The girl who held me tightly looked at me with a face full of shock, completely unaware that swearing can be so profound. People are always very strange. When the human brain judges that it is in a desperate situation, it will automatically judge whether to pass out or continue to act on instinct. Human instinct is also a strange thing, like when lost, most panicked people will choose to keep walking to the left, but if they are chased by something and fall into a state of panic, almost everyone will seal themselves in a closed room. In the space, regardless of whether that space is real or not, it can block things that chase you.

Perhaps panic will make people instinctively think that a closed place will create a sense of security!Even someone as smart as me is not exempt! The girl and I fled into the guest room where I lived, the luggage was still neatly placed next to the pillow, without any hesitation, I dragged all the movable things to block the door of the guest room, but panic made me I forgot a very basic common sense, the guest room uses a typical Japanese-style sliding door, no matter how blocked it is, the other party can easily open it. Just when I thought about this question, the door was thrown open suddenly, and the thing blocking the door was also pulled by an invisible force and flew out in all directions.

A black shadow quietly appeared in front of the door. I fell to the ground, my mind was in chaos, I just felt that the girl next to me was hugged by me at some point.The girl's body was trembling with fear, her slender fingers grasped my arm forcefully, the nails almost sank into my flesh, but I didn't feel the pain at all, I just stared at the slow A dark shadow slowly drifting towards me. There is only one thought left in my mind, this time it is really over!I have known for a long time that my curiosity will definitely kill me.But I didn't know that the retribution came so quickly. The black shadow finally arrived in front of me, it stopped abruptly, and did not move at all, and I naturally did not dare to move at all, just confronting it silently. Suddenly, the black shadow suddenly separated a claw-like thing from its body, and it swept towards me with lightning speed, I instinctively backed up, grabbed something and threw it at it forcefully. I didn't expect that the thing I grabbed at random would come in handy!My half-opened backpack spread out in the air, and all the contents inside spilled out, and I flew towards the black shadow without thinking.The two black boxes in the backpack collided lightly, making a crisp metal sound. Suddenly a dazzling light shot out from the black box, I closed my eyes subconsciously, but felt my head was hit hard by something, and I fainted helplessly. Hey, today is indeed my catastrophe day!Rational thinking and profound knowledge are useless in the face of all these strange things. It seems that I really should let go of my reserved and stubborn scientific mind and learn some tricks to protect myself from those magicians! The morning sun gently came in through the window, and I woke up, but my head was still hurting. I touched it with my hand, only to find a big bump.The girl was still asleep in my arms, sleeping very sweetly and peacefully, I could even hear her steady snort. What happened yesterday?I only remember that the black box I brought gave off a very strong light, but what about the black shadow that wanted my life?However, since he is still alive and well, it means that it has not succeeded.So where did it go?Was it driven away by the light from the black box? I giggled, picked up the black box, put it in my hand like a baby, and looked at it carefully.Although I have seen it like this thousands of times before, I still can't find anything unusual, but I can be sure that these two things are absolutely extraordinary.Hmph, although I used to speculate about their uses before, but I never thought they would save my life unintentionally!Maybe this thing can really exorcise demons. I carefully stuffed the black box back into the travel bag, and then looked down at the girl in my arms.I was about to hug her to the quilt to make her sleep more comfortably, but at that moment I was stunned. The girl in my arms was wearing a plain white kimono, and her long white hijab covered her hair and half of her face, but I clearly remember that the girl I rescued last night was wearing a light blue knitted shorts. At that time, I was still wondering how she was wearing such a thick skirt on a hot day, and I didn't know if it was hot or not. Obviously, this girl is definitely not the girl I went through the crisis with, so who is the girl who is sleeping comfortably in my arms now? I gently pulled her hijab away with my hand, trying to see her face clearly, but as soon as I raised my hand, I was attracted by the pattern of the kimono.It was a pattern of cherry blossoms, the white cherry blossoms represented purity and beauty, but this pattern was really familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before. My whole body was shocked, and I almost cried out in surprise! In the procession of the fox marrying a daughter last night, the bride's clothes had this pattern, could it be... A cold feeling filled my whole body, my scalp was numb, I wished I could immediately push this girl who came from nowhere, leave this weird place immediately, and write the name of this small town on the blacklist by the way , in order to remind myself that even if I divorced my wife during my honeymoon, I would never come back. The girl turned over gently in my arms, and then opened her big sleepy eyes.She seemed very dissatisfied with something covering her sight, so she tore off the hijab and veil on her head, revealing a fair and beautiful face.Suddenly, the four eyes met together. I stared at her in embarrassment. After a while, the girl yawned, closed her eyes, and muttered vaguely: "Today's dream is so strange, how can there be such a man with a dull expression in the world?" !" Turning over, the girl hugged my thigh with a lot of interest, and pinched it a few times as if to make sure of something. Then, she trembled suddenly, and her whole body became stiff immediately. "Ahhh! Perverted! Pervert..." The girl yelled as soon as she bounced off me, regardless of her ladylike image. I was so angry that I quickly hugged her, covered her mouth and made her swallow the word "wolf" forcefully, and then asked softly, "Do you remember what happened last night?" Is something wrong?" The girl immediately became quiet, and she covered her head and recalled: "Yesterday I came to see the nanny and lived in the next room at night. But I remember that I was kidnapped by something. They forced me to change into a kimono and asked me to wear a kimono." Sit in a very ugly sedan chair... By the way, nanny! In order to stop them, the nanny, she...she..." The girl burst into tears, she took my sleeve and wiped her tears rudely. Alas, woman.I quietly watched her every move, watched her shoulders twitch slightly from crying, watched the tears streaming down her cheeks, and finally my doubts about her were wiped away bit by bit. I can't help it, why do I keep encountering strange things, if I have the experience like last night and am still suspicious and suffering from neurotic hypersensitivity, then this kind of person is either a saint or a lunatic!Fortunately, I'm pretty normal. Besides, the emotion of crying is the most difficult thing for me to understand, just as it is difficult for me to understand why the seawater-flavored liquid secreted from the eyes is called a woman's greatest weapon, but I am really afraid of hearing others cry , so I scratched my head and was trying to comfort her, but the girl had already stood up. She made a phone call and walked into the guest room and asked, "You saved me yesterday, didn't you?" "If you want to think so, it's fine." What happened last night was too complicated. Even now, I still doubt whether it was a dream. Since it is something that I doubt, I will not be stupid to mention it to others. . "That's good, very good. My name is Takahashi Yumi, remember this name carefully!" The girl ordered in a haughty and unquestionable tone: "From now on, you are my fiance, and you are also the fiance of the Takahashi Group. The new boss of 10,000 employees!" I'm not mistaken, it seems that I haven't gotten out of yesterday's trouble, and I'm in a bigger trouble again!
