C2 Bowing to the Fox

Unable to face the gentle Liu Yu, I almost ran back to my dorm.

Covering my face with the blanket, that terrifying sound kept on coming out. Even though I covered my ears with my hands, I still couldn't do it.

"Stop pestering me."

I grabbed onto his hair and used a lot of force. My phone rang and rang again and again, it was all Liu Yu who called. I didn't dare to pick up at all. What should I tell him? What's more … The nightmare had come true! That thing, we've found it!

The scar on his arm, the semicircle pattern, the depression in the middle, it was the mark left by the trap. The one who had appeared at the inn was the fox!

How could a fox turn into a human and wait there? Did he become a spirit?

The phone rang again. This time, it wasn't Liu Yu, but my mother.

"Hello, Mom." I quickly picked up my phone, my breathing visibly unsteady.

"Girl, come back quickly, your dad … Your dad, he, he's going to die. "

His mind went blank. "Dad, what's wrong with him?"

"Stop asking, hurry up and come back!"

After hanging up, I crawled out from under the blanket. My body was in a sorry state, and my legs were sticky. When I lifted my skirt, the roots of my thighs were covered in blood.

I quickly wiped the blood off my face with a tissue and packed a few clothes.

After three hours of driving, I leaned against the window and called my mother, but no one answered. I wanted to know what was wrong with my father.

The fox?

The bus swayed, and as the seats beneath it creaked and creaked, my body swayed with it, and for a moment I thought of the shame I had felt at the inn.

The man's face slowly turned into a fox face. His eyes were staring at me, and the fox's mouth was wide open. "I must marry him tonight, otherwise, he will die!"

"Ah..."

I let out a scream, and several people beside me looked at me at the same time. My eyes widened as cold sweat instantly poured out of them.

It was that damn fox, he wanted revenge, because ten years ago my father caught him in a trap and ten years later that fox came back to take revenge on us.

I look at my phone. There's still an hour left, and no matter what, I can't let anything happen to Dad.

"Dad."

I rushed in from the courtyard. There were a lot of people in the house, many of them relatives in the village. My father was lying on the kang with blood all over his face and his eyes were wide open.

"My daughter, your dad can't take it anymore."

Mom stood up and hugged me and cried. My tears didn't come.

"Come out! Hurry up and come out! You damn fox, come at me if you have the ability."

I shouted loudly. The fox must have been hiding in the surroundings and watching everything, and I didn't know how it did it, but it knew everything about me, including the conversation with Liu Yu. That was why it turned into a human and waited for me in the hotel room.

"Xiao Lin, what's wrong with you? Don't scare mother!"

I was acting strangely, and my mother was frightened. Everyone in the room looked at me at the same time.

Those familiar faces, most likely one of them was a dead fox. It must be very happy to see our family in trouble.

"Come out, I know you're here. If you have the guts, come out."

"I'm afraid this girl is possessed."

San Ye frowned; he had the most seniority in the family. When he was young, he went out to work and meet Feng Shui, and after learning some skills, he came back.

"Third Uncle, hurry up and take a look."

The Third Master opened my mouth and rolled his eyes. His frown deepened as he quickly chased the others out of the room. Only the three of us were left in the room.

"Little girl, to tell the truth to San Ye, did something dirty turn up?"

San Ye was a perceptive person, so he should be able to tell.

I nodded. "It's the fox, Mom. Do you remember that pair of foxes Dad called back when he was in the mountains on his eighth birthday?"

"I remember. One died with a baby in his stomach. The other one ran away by himself at night."

"He didn't run away. I let him go."

"Why?"

I gritted my teeth, regretting my decision to let it go. If not for my good intentions back then, there would have been no trouble today.

"I thought it was pitiful, so I let it go. Besides, that fox has white fur."

"White fur!"

San Ye's expression suddenly changed, the pipe in his hand was clearly trembling, his mother turned around, "San Ye, is it really evil?"

"It should be, the old ancestor's rule is that once you enter the mountains, you must not touch the white-furred ones, otherwise it will bring about a great deal of trouble." San Ye then looked at the brick bed, sighed and said: "Don't wait any longer, prepare yourself."

"Lord Third, you're so strong, please save us!"

His mother knelt on the ground, but San Ye still shook his head and kept sighing. "It's not that I don't want to save him, but the fox must have some sort of intelligence. It's coming back for revenge this time."

"Mom, prepare my wedding."

"Wedding?"

Mom looked at me and I nodded. This was the only way to save Dad. I was very serious and gritted my teeth. I knew this was the only way.

That night, my mother began to gather information. There were two red candles. My mother had taken out the red dress she had worn when she married Dad, and there was a dark red cap on the inside of it.

Will he really come tonight? If I marry him, will I let go of my father?

I sat in front of the mirror and looked at my red wedding dress. I didn't have the blessings of a friend or the bustle of a wedding. Thinking about Liu Yu, I couldn't help but sniff and tears flowed down my face.

"It would be easier to cry."

"I'm fine."

I forced myself to smile. Mom was standing behind me with a comb in her hand as she whispered, "One comb to the end, two to the eyebrows, three to the entire hall, four to …"

Ma can't go on any longer, her hair combed up and her face covered. She turns and runs out, leaving me alone in the room, slowly lifting the red cap to cover my head.

A gust of wind blew and the door creaked open. A hand slowly reached out from behind and picked me up.

The red hood lifted, and I dared not lift my head. My fingers rested on my chin, and as I pushed, my head rose slowly, a face completely foreign to me. I remembered those eyes, the eyes that had appeared so many times in my nightmares.

"You'll let my family go, won't you?"

I asked timidly. It was a man, a handsome face, and it was all an illusion, and I knew he was not a man, but a fox who wanted to take revenge on our family.

"That depends on your performance tonight."

"I..."

My body backed off and my legs kicked backwards. His hands grabbed onto my shoulders and with the force of his red crochet, most of it fell off, revealing the undergarment underneath.

I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth. I had to accept this fate in order to save my family.

When the warm tip of my tongue landed on it, my body involuntarily trembled. The little cherry on it couldn't resist the teasing. His movements didn't stop as he extended his hand from the bottom.

"You have to give birth to a lot of children for me to let you off."

My neck felt numb, and my body straightened in fear, like a cold corpse, my legs clamped tightly together.

I didn't like him at all. He forced me to do all this.

It's ridiculous to ask me to give the damn fox a baby.

I grit my teeth and close my eyes. In order for Dad to live past tonight, I must endure this night. I hope that after tonight, I can be spared!

"Look at me! "Why aren't you looking at me?"

His hand stopped and his entire body pressed down on me. Even though my eyes were closed, I could still feel something slowly approaching my face.

"I... "I …"

I didn't know how to answer, but I thought it was time to get it over with. Once that was done, he would leave, and that was the only way to end the nightmare.

"Open your eyes, I command you, otherwise you will kill that old thing outside right now."

"No!"

I opened my eyes and screamed out in fear. I was really scared, scared that something would happen to dad.

I saw that face again, that almost perfect face, right in front of my body, looking at me smugly. That expression made me extremely disgusted.

He won. In front of him, I could be tortured in any way, and I had no chance of resisting.

"Call out, the louder the better, let the whole village hear you."

"No …" "Please, if you want to do it, then hurry up."

"So hasty!" "It won't be that easy for you."

He sneered and rolled his eyes as if he had read my mind. With a smirk on his face, he began to move his hand around below.

It was entirely due to my body's instinctive reaction. When my hand landed on the surface of the rock, I could still feel a little bit of it.

"Yes, just like that. Relax a little bit, so we can have kids as soon as possible."

"Why, why must I have your child?" I asked timidly, looking at the man on top of me. His face was almost perfect, and if he were not a fox but a real man, he might have been able to accept the reality.

It's too cruel to kill my wife and children in order to make you a piece of leather. Ten years, I hated you for ten years until this day finally arrived. I originally wanted to fuck his woman, but I was too old and ugly, so I could only let you take my place.

"You, you will kill me!"

My terror reached its peak in an instant, and the sounds I made shook, my eyes widened, and a chill came from my belly. It was his fingers, rising slowly from my belly.

"Ah …"

I let out a frightened cry, and the chill hit me like a knife cutting through my stomach.
