No taboos

Chapter 90 Two Little Foxes (Part )
Xu Yuan quietly went to Widow Yang's house and met Uncle Rong Kui.

"What's Lin Qi doing today?"

Uncle Rong Kui replied lazily, "He's been in the shop the whole time, as quiet as a grandson. He must have been scared out of his wits."

Since Master Qiao was dead, Lin Qi was of course afraid.

"Keep staring."

Uncle Rong Kui agreed and asked, "Did you gain anything from going into the mountains today?"

Xu Yuan shook his head: "The losses are heavy." Then he gave a brief account of the situation.

Uncle Rong Kui said, "Why did you take on this hard job? Come back with me to the Demon-Slaying Army, and let's pursue a bright future together, won't it?"

Xu Yuan didn't respond and didn't want to stay here any longer. He gave a few more instructions, turned around and went back.

When he arrived at the door of Zhaoji Fur Shop, Xu Yuan did not go in directly, but turned and went into Liujicun Liquor across the street.

"What do you want, customer? Oh, it's Yuan. Now that you're rich, why don't you take care of my business?"

A Guang was dozing off behind the counter. When he heard the noise, he quickly stood up and greeted them.

It's just past noon.

Xu Yuan pointed to four large wine jars half a man's height behind the counter and said, "I want them all."

Ah Guang smiled and said, "There are many of you, but one jar is enough. You can't drink so much."

Xu Yuan said: "I will buy them all, and you can help me send a message to Wang Xiangcun."

A Guang shook his head without hesitation: "No."

"Just like you usually deliver wine to the old hermit, if you agree, I will give you another ten taels of silver."

Ah Guang came out from behind the counter and took Xu Yuan's arm and walked towards the backyard: "Come in with me."

In the small courtyard at the back, an old couple sat side by side basking in the sun, their hands still trying to weave straw ropes.

The two old men were huddled together, looking old and weak.

Only the eye sockets remained of the eyes.

Hearing the sound, Liu Laogong tilted his ear and asked, "A Guang, is there a guest coming?"

"Ayuan is back, he came to see you two elders."

"Oh," the old couple was delighted: "Give A Yuan half a pound of good wine..."

Xu Yuan quickly declined: "Uncle Liu, no need. I don't drink. I just came to see you. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Okay, okay, come and sit down often when you have nothing to do."

Ah Guang brought Xu Yuan to the front shop and said, "You left this morning, and it's only noon now, and only half of you are back. Ah Yuan, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the old couple are in such a state, I have to stay alive to take care of them until the end of their lives!"

Xu Yuan nodded silently, unable to say anything else. He turned and walked out two steps, then came back: "Give me ten kilograms of the best. These gentlemen in the Department of Excretion cannot drink inferior wine."

"Okay." A Guang poured him ten kilograms of good wine, but only charged him the cost.

……

Xu Yuan returned to Zhaoji Fur Shop and handed the wine jars to the officers: "It's to keep the cold away tonight, don't drink too much."

Then he went upstairs, and Old Yan came out hurriedly to greet him: "Have you thought of a solution?"

Xu Yuan sat down and said, "A Guang doesn't want to go, I can't force him."

Old Yan sat down disappointedly: "Oh, then there is nothing we can do."

"It's not that there's no way..."

Xu Yuan looked at the sky and said, "Send me a few people. Hurry up, there's still time."

Old Yan assigned two captains to follow Xu Yuan and went out again.

Xu Yuan went straight to the west end of the town.

When entering the town yesterday, Xu Yuan saw that a new restaurant had opened here.

It turned out that there was no such restaurant. The only restaurant in the town that could be called a restaurant was Mr. Qiao’s Yifangting.

Others can’t keep their business going.

It was already past dinner time. When Xu Yuan came in, there was no one in the restaurant. He knocked on the table and called out, "Waiter."

Someone in the kitchen quickly responded, "Coming, coming."

A waiter came out and smiled when he saw Xu Yuan: "Ah Yuan, what would you like to eat?"

The waiter is an acquaintance in the town, Xiyazi, who is a native of the town.

"Are there any live chickens?" No one in the town raised chickens or ducks, except Ah Hua. They were all eaten by evil spirits that sneaked through holes in the doors.

"You're lucky. We just bought two this morning, but we didn't sell them by noon. The shopkeeper is worried about it."

"Give it all to me." Xu Yuan gave the money and asked, "Have there been any foxes around the town recently?"

"Yes." Xiyazi laughed and said, "Two days ago, two little foxes came from nowhere. As soon as it got dark, they sneaked in and stole chickens.

It ended up bumping into Ah Hua's hands, getting pecked and squeaking, then darted away from the east. Hahaha, it must be a fox from out of town. Who among the locals doesn't know Ah Hua..."

Xu Yuan nodded: "Where do they appear?"

"How would I know? I wouldn't dare to go and see. But the merchants these days have said that they heard foxes barking on the road as they entered the town. It should be near the official road in the northeast."

Xu Yuan asked two captains to carry the chicken away.

When they reached the official road northeast of the town, they killed the chicken, scattered its blood, and then made some arrangements.

Half an hour later, the two silly little foxes were caught.

The two little foxes had tears in their eyes and kept kowtow with their front paws, begging for mercy.

Who understands, family members? This world is too difficult!

We were living happily in a dilapidated temple outside the county town, but a bloody thing came and scared us so much that we ran back to the countryside to live with our two aunts.

I didn't expect the countryside to be more dangerous.

He wanted to go into the village to steal a chicken, but was pecked by a chicken.

I picked up some wild food on the roadside and was caught by cunning humans.

"Don't act pitiful." Xu Yuan shouted, "Let me ask you, do you recognize the two from Plum Blossom Pond?"

The two little foxes' eyes lit up: "Do you know two aunts?"

But I soon realized that the aunts like to be naked, and if this person knows them... he is not a good person!

Xu Yuan was also surprised. He originally just wanted to find a fox to deliver a message, but he actually found a "relative".

Xu Yuan pointed at one of them casually and said, "Go back and ask them to come over. I have something to discuss with them. Tell them I have something great to offer them."

He pointed at another one and said, "You stay here as a hostage... a fox hostage. If I don't see them in two days, I'll make you into a scarf!"

The one that was released still had tears in its eyes and lay on the side, refusing to leave.

"Oh, your clan is quite loyal and righteous."

The little fox rubbed his front paws and asked with a stiff upper lip, "Who are you? How do I tell my two aunts about you?"

Xu Yuan slapped his forehead and said, "Tell them that an old friend of mine introduced them to a good deal a while ago."

"Oh." The little fox responded, then jumped up and dived into the grass and disappeared.

Xu Yuan carried the other tearful little creature and went back with two captains.

"Don't worry," Xu Yuan said, "I have a good relationship with your two aunts. They won't ignore you."

After returning to Zhaoji Fur Shop, Xu Yuan handed the little fox to Dafu for care.

The big white goose is arrogant and looks down on everyone!

The little fox trembled and huddled up in a small ball at the foot of the wall to hide from Da Fu.

Why is my life so miserable? Where did this weird thing come from? Why did I have to encounter it?

After dinner, Xu Yuan asked the captains to go to bed and said, "I will be on duty tonight."

Several captains felt bad and said, "Master Xu, leave this matter to us."

During the battle in the mountains during the day, everyone knew in their hearts that if Xu Yuan hadn't been there, everyone would have died.

Some of them were jealous of Xu Yuan before, but now they are all convinced.

They felt that hard work like night watch and scouting were part of their job.

Xu Yuan waved his hand: "Something might happen tonight."

The captains suddenly understood, bowed, and went back to their rooms.

Xu Yuan was not sure whether the pair of water ghost sisters would come.

But now we urgently need an information channel to understand the real situation in the mountains.

Xu Yuan sat alone on the first floor. After it got completely dark, he lit an oil lamp.

There are only a goose and a fox around him.
