After learning the news, he rushed home almost like crazy, but what he got was nightmarish news...

Dead...

All dead...

Even my own house has become a puddle and ruins under the erosion of the flood...

Although the only girl rescued saved her life, she almost got a serious disease because she almost entered the gates of hell. She would feel dizzy when she walked a few more steps on weekdays, and her hands and feet were even weaker, and she had to take tormented herbs every day to save her life.

The most important thing is that her body is now completely insufficient to support her having children.

A year later, he resolutely got married to the girl regardless of other people's advice. In addition, although he still won the top scorer, he was named "rude and unfilial" because of his actions to rush home as soon as possible. In addition to his own temperament, he began to be targeted by some ruthless old scholars, and since then he began his long and dull official career.

In the end, some things came to this remote place where it could be said to be exiled in the officialdom, which was the final judgment. In the eyes of most people in the court, not only did this place not have any oil or water to make, but even spent his old age safely was a luxury. If you were not careful, you would be unable to protect yourself. Treating officials was a cruel punishment.

"My husband, what's wrong?" The wife seemed to notice his depressed mood. Although her face was normal, she could detect the strangeness of her husband from some subtle places. After all, a couple who had been around for more than ten years had already integrated their body and mind.

"It's nothing, it's just a few trivial things in the yamen."

He smiled, covering up his thoughts.

He never told her about those things. He could just bear some difficulties by himself. Why bother her again?

My wife was sensible and didn't ask much. Instead, she remembered something and took him into the house to the windowsill. She pointed to a wild pheasant that had been dead on the edge of the edge with some joy and said, "Mr., look, when you were not at home before, the fox we saved came to deliver something to us. This must be a repayment. It turns out that good people will be rewarded!"

"That fox?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shize was slightly stunned. He remembered that when he first took office a long time ago, he encountered a red-haired fox on the road with a leg bitten by a wild beast. He was teasing and playing with a few children with stones and branches, and he was about to die.

His wife was kind-hearted and couldn't bear it, so she asked him to rescue the little fox and take good care of it for a while. She waited until her leg injury healed before putting it back into the forest.

When the animals were released, the fox turned around in one step and seemed to be deeply imprinting the appearance of the two people in his mind. His wife once joked that she might come to repay her kindness, but at that time she only thought she didn't take it to heart. Now it seems that it is indeed possible.

Could it be that these beasts in the mountains also know how to repay kindness?

He couldn't help feeling strange, but he didn't care too much. He smiled, walked up to pick up the wild pheasant and said, "This is not bad, it seems that we have delicious food to eat in the evening!"

Most of his salary is used to buy medicine, and his daily meals are still a bit restrained, not to mention that such wild game is quite rare, so it is rare to be able to eat meat.

Late at night, it was quiet, and there were only sporadic barking of dogs nearby. The clouds and mists in the sky blocked the moonlight, and the earth was not bright.

In the room, Zhou Shize took care of his wife and went to bed, but he did not go to bed together, but sat at the table and looked at a roll of files.

That was a record left by the former official, including the customs and cultural heritage here and some difficult cases.

The murder and death are not subject to the government here, but the mountain people here use their own knives, guns and fists to solve the problem.

There are factors that don’t want to control or cannot control.

But since the imperial court has established an official here, it is always necessary to do something. How could an ambitious official be willing to watch the murderers get away with it?

He can't get through this level of his heart.

He wanted to see what he could do just by himself...

Just as he looked, at some point, a moment of sleepiness surged, but his eyelids became heavier. He tried hard to wipe his eyes, but it still had no effect. His eyes gradually blurred and he slowly lay on the table and fell asleep.

a long time.

"My benefactor...My benefactor..."

It seemed that a woman's soft call was lingering in her ears.

He slowly woke up, slowly raised his head but found that he had stood outside the house at some point. There was a hazy gray fog around him, and only a faint light flowed faintly along the fog, making people barely able to see the land under his feet.

Not far away was there a slim girl in red standing, looking at him with a smile, beautiful and charming appearance and a bit strange charm.

"My benefactor, you are finally awake!"

She called softly, pretty and happy.

"You... are you?" Zhou Shize's mind was in chaos at this moment. He couldn't remember where he was just now, where he was now, who was the girl who called him his benefactor in front of him?

"Don't you remember me? I'm the fox you saved!" The girl covered her mouth and chuckled slightly, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "If it weren't for you and your wife, I would have died long ago, and now I'm here to repay my kindness."

His intuition was a little wrong: "I saved a fox, how could it be a human?"

But the girl did not explain much to him, but instead danced her hands gently, and saw his whole body becoming light and flying in one direction with her.

He glanced at the corner of his eyes and found strangely that there was a furry fox tail behind the girl, which was not like a fake thing.

But now his mind is in chaos, which makes him unable to analyze this terrifying scene from common sense.

This flight did not last long. A blue light gradually appeared in the distance. When the two of them flew closer, they found that it was a temple.

However, this temple was completely different from an ordinary temple. Not only did there not be a Buddha statue, but there were people with strange faces squatting on the various public halls on both sides. The incense was also in full bloom in front of the platform. The light green smoke slowly rose around the temple but did not dissipate, forming the blue light he had seen.

And what stood in this temple was not a pilgrimage, but more than a dozen confused men who looked similar to him. Their figures were shrouded in a layer of light gray mist, which seemed a bit illusory.

Zhou Shize looked down at himself, and it was true.

“Where is this place?”

His mind gradually became clearer at this moment, but he still couldn't understand what the situation was now.
