Chapter 312 - When the Map is Unrolled, the Dagger is Revealed (1/2)
Can foxes pick flowers?
Lin Luoran doesn’t know other foxes, but she can say that the one she raises is the same as people except that it can’t speak. Technically, it is more fastidious than people.
It needs to wash its hands before eating, to use tableware when eating, and to wash its face and feet before going to bed. Lin Luoran doesn’t know whether it is trained by White Fox or spoiled after coming to Lin’s family. One morning, Lin Luoran gets up and finds cyan little fox rolls a large leaf up to collect dew among the flowers—she thinks at first it will use it to do something big, but she takes a closer look and unexpectedly finds that it uses the dew for was.h.i.+ng face. However, it takes two hours to collect just that little dew!
The profound shock she felt at that time still exists at present. As a woman, she has always cleaned her face in a hurry. To collect dew? No way. The Water spell is actually quite convenient, but Lin Luoran’s att.i.tude toward life has formed for many years. She has never thought to be so elegant.
“You wouldn’t know this fox, would you?” Lin Luoran asks tentatively.
Little Hong Bin is confused by Lin Luoran. How can she talk to a fox? Can the fox understand?
Vivid eyes of cyan little fox destroy Hong Bin’s understanding of foxes.
This woman is so stupid! The other foxes in the world aren’t so special as it is even though they look generally the same. It does know the flowers … Can anyone still draw a flower like it now?
For many years, it is sure that thisit isn’t its memory.
On the hillsides, everywhere is cyan with no impure color. Only in June each year, colorful flower buds bloom overnight. The flowers bloom only for a day, and they will fade when the sun goes down. Those mortals have never seen such a heterogeneous species, so the rumor goes wilder and wilder, saying that anyone who picks a flower can make a wish. That is so ridiculous!
There is no such treasure in the world which can help people realize their wishes, but some people are too stupid to believe it. Every year, people come in a continuous stream to steal flowers. Cyan little fox cyan gets annoyed, so it kicks the people living in this region out…
There was a hint of clarity in Xiao Qinghu’s eyes. No one has ever seen these flowers except those stupid mortals at that time.
It is strange. Does sand get in its eyes? Cyan little fox wipes its eyes with paws, and the water spray comes out automatically, and it can’t stop.
It still tries hard to rub its tears, but in the eyes of the three people, things are different. They think that cyan little fox is crying, holding the jar.
Hong Bin is sent to take the remaining jars back. Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian look at cyan little fox again. Although it often robs people, everyone knows its temperament so n.o.body in the Lin family dislikes it. Why “outrageous” cyan little fox cries for the first time?
Lin Luoran remembers that Professor Qi has inadvertently said that in the Cla.s.sic of Mountains and Seas, the king of the fox tribe is cyan in the Country of Green Mountains. Is it homesick for seeing this?
Not long ago, she personally traveled through time and s.p.a.ce. This world is not as simple as it is shown. From Lin Luoran’s point of view, many myths are based on the Cla.s.sic of Mountains and Seascla.s.sics of mountains and seas and must be justified-perhaps this is a copy of travel note similar to Chronicle of the Nine Provinces? But the latter is written by a cBearing Essence Cultivator in the level of Bearing Essence, and the former happens to record that lost history.
If there is the Country of Green Mountains, then where is it?
There is a touch of compa.s.sion in Luo Lin’s eyes. Cyan little fox is so small and it has been living with White Fox in the underground world. Can it still find its way home?
…
Tao’s Village has been making pottery for generations. During the national defense, they moved to the mountains to avoid disasters. There is also clay here. Of course, the craftsmans.h.i.+p of pottery is not lost. There is little income in the mountains, so they rely on these ceramics to fix the money for commodities and tuition of children going out.
Everyone in the village knows that Old Mr. Hong is kind-hearted and his pottery craftsmans.h.i.+p is the best in the village. As a single old man, he spends little money, so most of his money earned from pottery is usually given to children in the village who are studying outside the village or in financial difficulties. For that, Old Mr. Hong’s status in the village is quite high for his kindness. Not to mention that he is mature and sophisticated. There is incomparable wisdom in him. Many people will ask him to make decisions when they encounter troubles. Therefore, Old Mr. Hong enjoys high prestige in the village.
But Old Mr. Hong himself also encounters troubles these two days. Some Nihonese live in his house.
Sakurako also likes pottery, and she always looks at Old Mr. Hon with admiration. That makes Old Mr. Hon afraid.
He will not doubt his competence, but what worries him is that these Nihonese may have other plans.
