Legend has it that the broken tail fox is unlucky, especially the broken tail black fox.
, hundreds of years ago, there was a man at the foot of Hengshan Mountain. He met a black fox with a broken tail, breaking this false legend.
The man's name is Cui Wei, twenty-three, his parents died one after another, leaving behind two acres of mountain land and a thatched house. But no matter how hard Cui Wei worked, the grain harvests grown in the mountains were particularly poor. Although Cui Wei had only one person, he still lived a life of not having the last meal.
Cui Wei looked at the people of the same age as him in the village not only lived a better life than him, but also married a wife and held a child, but he couldn't even solve the problem of three meals a day. He felt very inferior, but he had a sense of unyielding strength. He felt that his hands could definitely change his destiny.
If you are poor, you will change. Cui Wei thought about it over and over again and again, and felt that his brain was not stupider than others, nor did he lacked arms or legs. He worked hard and diligently. The reason why he lived a worse life than others must be because he had not found the right method.
He began to make a fuss on these two acres of mountainous land, trying to plant different crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, radish . As long as it can fill its stomach, he planted them all, but the results were not good. Not only were the fruits small, many of them were edible by termites and could not be eaten at all, and life became more and more difficult.
In the early summer of this year, the breeze was not dry and the sun was warm. Cui Wei looked at the sparse sweet potato seedlings in the ground and sat on the ridge and was worried. I have no skills and only have two acres of mountainous land at home, but the land is not harvested and I cannot rely on the land to eat. What should I do?
At this time, he heard a rustling noise from the low wood next to him. Cui Wei thought happily: "It seems that there is no way out. If you catch pheasants or hares, you can also get a meaty one."
He stood up slowly, tiptoed towards the woods, gently pierced the grass, but found a little black fox crawling on the ground.
The little fox is only as big as an ordinary domestic cat. It has no miscellaneous hair on its body, and its hair is black and shiny. It may have just escaped from the hunter's trap, its tail was broken, and blood was flowing out. At this moment, it was looking at Cui Wei with a pitiful look.
Cui Wei thinks this little fox is so cute. If he doesn't help stop the bleeding, it may die. Cui Wei squatted down and said to it in a very gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, I'll take you back to heal now. Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
The little fox seemed to understand his words and screamed twice. When Cui Wei picked it up, it didn't struggle. He just leaned in his arms obediently and followed him home.
Cui Wei had no medicine at home. He followed the human pattern and found an old piece of clothing, tore a strip of cloth, and wrapped its tail tightly. Not to mention that this will really work, the little fox's tail will no longer be bleeding in a while.
He took out the only two pieces of sweet potatoes from the pot, put one in front of the little fox and said, "Don't dislike me for being poor. There is only this little food at home. We are half of them."
The little fox may also be hungry, pressing the sweet potatoes with two claws and starting to chew on them, eating them even more fragrant than Cui Wei. Cui Wei happily touched its head and said, "What a good fox who doesn't pick on his mouth."
A few days later, the little fox's injuries healed. After the wound was scabbed and fell off, the little fox turned into a broken-tailed fox, but it seemed that it was used to living with Cui Wei and had no intention of leaving.
Follow Cui Wei to eat and live together, and go to the field to work together. He is naughty and naughty, which adds a lot of fun to Cui Wei. But the villagers were very unhappy when they saw Cui Wei carrying a black broken-tailed fox.
, especially the elderly in the village, think that the fox's tail is a very unlucky thing, and it is a black fox. They believe that the fox will bring disaster to the village, and they ask Cui Wei to put the fox back to the forest.
Cui Wei didn't believe this. He thought the little fox was cute and fun. It was good to be with him, so he ignored what the villagers said and continued to bring the little fox with him.
Until something happened, it was summer and it was supposed to be the scorching sun, but suddenly the wind broke out that day, followed by hail as big as eggs. The dense hail hit the villagers' fields, and the newly-headed seedlings were smashed.
After the weather turned sunny, the villagers looked at the mess and blamed the black fox for the June hail, saying that it caused everyone to have no harvest in a season of crops, and it was the rhythm of starving people to death.
people are terrifying, so even the young people believe that this fox is an ominous thing. Everyone goes to the village chief and asks him to come forward to stop Cui Wei from raising the fox.
As a result, before the village chief had time to come forward, something happened, which caught Cui Wei off guard.
On that day, Cui Wei and the black fox were working and playing in the field. Li Erzhu from the village was angry when he saw the black fox, so he picked up the stick and beat the fox. The fox is not easy to mess with. He chased Li Erzhu and grabbed and bite him, and finally scratched him, scaring him to escape in panic.
At night, Liu Erzhu brought a group of people to Cui Wei's house with tools. He said to Cui Wei fiercely: "This black fox can no longer be left in the village. Or you send it to the mountains, or you give it to us and let us peel it."
Cui Wei saw that they came and was worried that they would really beat the black fox to death, so he had to agree to send the black fox back to the mountain overnight. Even so, Liu Erzhu and others were not willing to give up. They stared at Cui Wei and hugged the black fox into the mountain before returning.
Who knew that two days later, Cui Wei was preparing to have supper that night when he heard the movement of cutting the door at the door. He quickly got up to look and found that the black fox was squatting at the door with wounds, which was very pitiful.
Cui Wei was about to pick up the little fox when he found that Liu Erzhu was chasing him with a few young people from the village. When the little fox saw them, he rushed into the room and hid.
Liu Erzhu couldn't find the little fox, so he was about to break into Cui Wei's home. Cui Wei blocked the door and said, "Liu Erzhu, what do you want to do?"
"This little fox is smart. We chased it in the mountains for a day today, and in the end it had nowhere to escape and ran to your house. In order to avoid future troubles, we must beat it to death. If you dare to protect it again, I will go to the village chief and drive you out of the village with it." Liu Erzhu said.
"You are all young people, why are you so ignorant? Why are you competing with a little fox? Since it has come to hide in my house, don't think you can catch it." Cui Wei refused to give in, squeezed them out of the door and closed the door casually.
Cui Wei just treated the injuries on the little fox, and Liu Erzhu and the others took the village chief to the door. Before the village chief could speak, Cui Wei said, "I understand. I just can't tolerate this fox in the village? I will take it to live on the mountain. I will move tomorrow morning. Are you satisfied now?"
Since Cui Wei has made his statement, everyone has nothing to say. Early the next morning, Cui Wei packed up his simple home and took the little fox to build a simple thatched hut next to his own mountain, and lived a simple life of one person and one fox.
No matter how diligent Cui Wei is, the harvest in the mountains is still not good. No one can tell him, so he can only talk to the little fox.
When I woke up that morning, Cui Wei found that the little fox was missing. He searched everywhere, but he couldn't find any trace of the little fox until the sun was about to set. The little fox came back with a grass, and the grass was full of yellow-green round seeds.
As a farmer, Cui Wei knew that this was a seed, but he didn't know what the use of this grass was. But in order not to disappoint the little fox, he still picked the seeds and planted them one by one into the ground.
What he didn't expect was that these seeds not only germinated, but also grew particularly well in the fields, much better than the crops before.
, and Cui Wei also discovered something. Since planting these grasses, there have been fewer termites in the field, and sweet potatoes and potatoes have grown bigger than before. At this time, Cui Wei seemed to understand the little fox's intention. In the first year, he made the grass full of seeds, and planted a circle around the entire ground in the spring of the following year, planting various crops in the middle.
This season, not only did he get a bumper harvest, but he also gained a lot of grass. He didn't know what other effects this grass had, so he cut it down and put it in the house.
made him have another surprise discovery. It turned out that there were all kinds of insects, fly, rats and ants in the houses in the mountains in summer, but since the grass was put in the house, I didn’t see these things that summer.
After Cui Wei learned the effects of this grass, he planted it every quarter, filling his doorstep.
That day Cui Wei was working in the field. The little fox came over and pulled his trouser legs out. He didn't know what the little fox was going to do, so he had to follow it all the way.
When he arrived at a valley, the little fox stopped, but Cui Wei saw a person lying on the ground. Only then did he realize that the little fox asked him to save people.
But before he got close, he smelled a stench. He thought he was dead long ago, so he was about to turn around and get a hoe to bury him. Unexpectedly, the man heard the movement, not only turned over, but also opened his eyes. His instinctive desire to survive made her say with difficulty: "Please save me."
Cui Wei looked at her carefully, his hair was a little messy and his face was a little pale. From the exposed skin, he saw that there seemed to be some kind of sore in his neck, hands and feet, and black pus and blood were flowing. It was also this blood that emitted a rotten stinking smell.
Cui Wei felt that she was pitiful, but she didn't know what she could do for her, so she got closer and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"My name is Wang Lihua. I have had a strange disease since I was a child, which is that my whole body was extremely itchy. Every time I scratched it, I would grow pussy. The pussy not only itched, but also emit a foul stench after it was broken. My parents sought medical treatment for me, but all the doctors could not solve it.
As time goes by, old injuries are piled with new injuries. I live in extremely painful life, and my family can't bear it, so I threw me into this valley and let me die on my own." The woman saw that there was someone willing to pay attention to her and cried.
Cui Wei didn't expect that the woman had such a strange disease, but she was not a doctor and didn't know how to save her, but she couldn't watch her waiting to die here. Just when he was in a dilemma, the little fox brought a grass.
Cui Wei took the grass and asked, "Do you mean this grass can cure her disease?"
Unexpectedly, the little fox nodded.
Cui Wei touched the little fox that was becoming more and more humane, and walked towards Wang Lihua. He saw that there were a large area of festering on her arms and legs. This grass did not solve the problem. Thinking that there were still many in his yard, he simply carried Wang Lihua home.
He put the grass in the pot, cooked a large pot of water, and asked Wang Lihua to wipe the wound by herself. The first time Wang Lihua felt it was not so itchy. She saw the hope of living, her eyes were covered with tears, and she knelt in front of Cui Wei with a plop and said, "Brother, thank you for your life-saving kindness. I will repay you as a cow or horse in this life."
Cui Wei helped her up and said, "I have more grass in my family. You are also an old stubborn disease and need to be treated slowly. I will build you another thatched house. You can live there and wash it first."
Wang Lihua was full of gratitude to Cui Wei and nodded constantly. It was this man who made her see hope in despair. There was a light in her eyes and her spirits were much better.
. Cui Wei did not expect this grass to have such a miraculous effect. In order to verify the real effect of this grass, he fryed Wang Lihua a big pot every day and asked her to take a shower and wipe her body.
Wang Lihua's skin is no longer itchy. She doesn't scratch it. The pustules on her body have scabs and no new injuries. After the scabs fall off, new skin will grow.
Three months later, Wang Lihua's pussy was healed and the odor on her body disappeared. That day she took advantage of Cui Wei's work in the fields. She cleaned her clothes and cleaned herself from head to toe, and she was radiant.
Cui Wei came back from the field and was really surprised when he saw Wang Lihua. He never thought that she was so beautiful without pussy on her skin.
At this time, Wang Lihua walked over and said, "Brother Cui, it is your credit for my life again. If you don't dislike me, I am willing to marry you as a wife and spend the rest of my life with you."
Happiness came too suddenly, Cui Wei was a little stupid. The little fox arched his legs naughtyly, and he realized it. He quickly said, "Don't you dislike me for being poor? "
" You are kind-hearted, saved the little fox and saved me. You are hardworking and down-to-earth. Being poor now does not mean you will be poor all your life. Why do I dislike you as a good person? It is too late to be happy. "Wang Lihua said with a smile.
Since neither of them had any objections, they held a simple ceremony and moved from two thatched huts to one thatched hut, even if they got married.
On the night of the marriage, Cui Wei had a dream and dreamed that the little fox turned into a graceful man in black. He said to Cui Wei: "My benefactor, I was originally a fox fairy in Qingqiu, but because of a mistake, I was beaten back to my original form. I endured the pain of breaking my tail and was beaten by Li Erzhu. These are the punishments I should have. "
" But I brought mugwort into the mortal world, and you also know its usage. Next, you can plant mugwort well, which can bring you wealth. This can be regarded as my repayment of your kindness. If you can carry it forward well, blessing the people will also accumulate virtue for me. Now that I have made up my merits and demerits, it’s time to go back. "The man in black disappeared after he finished speaking.
Cui Wei woke up in shock. When he saw that it was already dawn, he quickly got up to find the little fox, but this time the little fox was really gone. He thought of the scene in his dream and felt that it was all true. He picked up a mugwort and smelled it, and shouted loudly: "Madam, I have found the way to get rich. "
Since then, Cui Wei planted two acres of land into mugwort. Whenever he had free time, he would carry the mugwort in the yard to the market to sell. At first, no one believed that this grass had magical effects, so Cui Wei gave the mugwort to those clinics and asked them to try it for free for patients.
The doctor of the clinic finally discovered the miraculous effects of mugwort and began to purchase a large amount of Cui Wei's mugwort. Cui Wei finally had cash in his hands. He and Wang Lihua moved back to the village, built three large tiled houses, and finally lived the life he wanted.
But he did not forget what the little fox said before leaving. He began to reclaim wasteland in large quantities and plant large areas of mugwort, and Free supply of seeds to nearby villagers makes mugwort a well-known herb.
and the doctor also discovered that mugwort has more effects. It can not only drive away insects, flies, rats and ants, treat itchy and swelling of the skin, but also warm the meridians and dispel cold, stop bleeding and calm the fetus, remove moisture from the body, etc. It has been widely used until now.
