Chapter 258 Fox Home
The fox's question reminded Su Ming. This matter can be big or small. At the very least, they are just a group of foxes that can imitate human movements, making people laugh. At the most serious level, it is related to feudal superstition. The zoo is to promote popular science knowledge, and it must not promote feudalism. superstitious.
If only one or two are like this, that's fine. If all the foxes brought back can imitate, and tourists who come here see it, who knows what kind of commotion it will cause.
Lao Lin and Xiao Lin are a bit superstitious. If they don't tell them clearly, they really regard the broad-eared fox as a magical "Fox Fairy". If they spread the word to tourists, they will become very passive.
"Leader, the more than one hundred foxes you brought back are all spiritual. Oh no, they can imitate people!"
Although Su Ming had already told Lao Lin that this was the behavior of a fox imitating humans, Lao Lin still had some ghosts and ghosts. He pointed in the direction of Chen Youliang's tombs in the distance, lowered his voice and said, "Leader, I heard that there was a discovery in that direction. An ancient emperor's tomb. If you read a lot, do you think these fox immortals came from that tomb? Otherwise, how could they be so... well, able to imitate them?
Reading more and feudal superstition seem to contradict each other, right? Su Ming rolled his eyes inwardly, lowered his voice, and said seriously: "Old Lin, you know that there was King Zhou in ancient times, right?"
"I know, King Zhou had a wife named Daji, who was so sexy!" Xiao Lin interrupted from the side.
"Cough cough cough..." It was obvious that Xiao Lin missed the point. Su Ming coughed twice and then asked: "Then do you know who Daji is?"
"Who doesn't know that Daji turned into a vixen and came specifically to harm King Zhou?" Before Lao Lin could finish speaking, his expression changed, "Leader, are these foxes all vixens?"
Although Lao Lin Xiaolin is superstitious, he is not a fool. There are countless people in the world who worship Bodhisattva and seek gods, but it cannot be said that these people believe in the existence of gods and Buddhas. If one day a Buddha really appears in front of them, the first reaction of most people will definitely be: a liar.
Just like many people are afraid of ghosts, but in fact they know very well that there are no ghosts in the world.
Although Lao Lin Xiaolin worships the big-eared fox, it is just a custom plus a little spiritual sustenance. But to say that the more than a hundred big-eared foxes in front of him were all vixens, Lao Lin Xiaolin didn't believe it.
"Of course not. It's broad daylight and the sky is clear. There's no such thing as ghosts and monsters! Of course these foxes are not vixens!"
"But Daji is a vixen. She has practiced Taoism for tens of thousands of years!" Xiao Lin said.
Tens of thousands of years of Taoism? Who told you this? You don’t even take reading seriously. If Daji had practiced Taoism for tens of thousands of years, she would have slapped Jiang Ziya to death. Maybe she could become a god-sister with Nuwa, and it would be her turn to be fucked by King Zhou. , was decapitated by Jiang Ziya?
But now is not the time to discuss Daji's conduct. Su Ming slowly turned his head and looked at Xiao Lin, then at Old Lin, whetting their appetites, and then said: "Daji is a vixen, this is true, you guys Do you know what kind of fox Daji is?”
This question is a bit profound.
Everyone knows if you ask Daji whether she is a fox, but if you ask her where she lives, how old she is, what her measurements are, and what color tube top she likes to wear, not many people know. These are details, and most people don’t care much about them. detail.
"Daji is a nine-tailed fox, a creature in ancient Han myths and legends. It comes from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" compiled during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was later spread to Japan, Korea and other Asian regions. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Nanshan Classic" say: "The Qingqiu Mountains" There is a beast in the mountain, which looks like a fox with nine tails..."
Su Ming quoted a lot of scriptures, which made both Old Lin and Xiao Lin dumbfounded. Then he brought the topic to the crux and said seriously: "The ancient legends about vixens basically refer to the nine-tailed fox. The nine-tailed fox Fox comes from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, as you know, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is a novel about gods and monsters, most of which are fictitious. There is also a big bird called Kunpeng in it, with a wingspan of 90,000 miles..."
"Isn't this just nonsense? The earth is so big. If there were such a big bird, it wouldn't eat up the whole earth." Lao Lin said.
"Yes, it's fictitious. We foxes are called broad-eared foxes. They originate from foreign countries. They have nothing to do with the nine-tailed fox, and they can't be spiritual. They are just cute and smart animals." Su Ming said.
"Oh..." Old Lin Xiaolin suddenly realized at the same time and looked back at the broad-eared foxes.
Su Ming didn't care whether they understood it or not. He struck while the iron was hot and said, "Move that Buddha statue away. If any tourists come and see the broad-eared fox making human movements or imitating human speech, they must explain it clearly." Don’t turn this into a feudal superstition and turn this place into a Wong Tai Sin temple.”
After thinking about it, I was still a little worried. It would be too troublesome if it was regarded as feudal superstition. I had to take complete precautions and went directly to Mingqing Residence. Together with Master Peng, the two of them did a good job behind Mingqing Residence. After a few days of carpentry work, a construction team was hired to make some repairs around the foxes' house.
…
On this day, the zoo is open as usual. However, some attentive tourists discovered that at every corner in the zoo, there was a sign with a big arrow pointing in the direction of the back mountain.
"Fox Home, go in this direction!"
A family of three walked out of the aquarium and had just seen a giant salamander, alligator, and a family of finless porpoises. The man held his wife with one hand and his fat son with the other.
"Mom, mom, I want to go boating and ride a fish!" The fat son wore a Yangtze alligator hat souvenir bought from the aquarium, and a rubber alligator tail tied around his waist, looking like a fat alligator transformed into a human form.
The man frowned a little bored: "Every time I come, I have to go boating. In the past six months, I have spent several thousand on boating and zoo tickets alone. Aren't you tired of it?"
"But those cats are really fun. I heard that they gave birth to kittens..." The wife said coquettishly, holding her husband's arm.
If there are people with good memory here, they will definitely remember that this family of three was the first family to patronize when Su Ming started the business of fortune cat boating. That day, they spent hundreds of dollars to play with cats before they got on the boat.
The man has been a little depressed recently.
Their family likes animals and used to come to the zoo often. In the past six months, the zoo has launched several projects that cost money, and has continuously introduced new rare animal species. They come more frequently. Every time they come, they will spend money to play around before leaving.
During the Chinese New Year, the family counted the expenses for the year and was shocked to find that in the second half of the year, they spent nearly 4,000 yuan just to visit the zoo, almost every weekend. It was almost equal to his monthly salary.
"Why are you so stingy? Didn't you get a 20,000 yuan year-end bonus during the Chinese New Year..." The wife muttered a few words like a spoiled child. What doesn't cost money when the family goes out to play these days? Let alone watching a movie or having a meal, it costs hundreds of dollars. Playing in the zoo for a whole day, getting close to nature, and having parent-child activities, can also cultivate children's love. This money is worth spending.
It seemed so reasonable that the husband couldn't refute it at all. He rolled his eyes and fell on a sign not far away.
"Hey, wife, why don't we go see the foxes!"
"Fox Home?" Following her husband's gaze, the wife also saw the sign and wondered, "There are foxes in the zoo, right next to the wolf house. How can there be another fox home in the back mountain? Could it be that the sign is pointing in the wrong direction?"
The husband didn't say anything and pulled the mother and daughter in the direction indicated by the sign. "It's not a big deal to go and see." As they walked, they were happy, thinking that it wouldn't cost much to see foxes...
"Fox Home" is not far from the park. It was originally allocated to the zoo to monitor rescued stray dogs and cats. In order to facilitate adoption and care, it is adjacent to the zoo's Shuijun Lake, which is also the hill where the bald man came to steal fish. You can go directly there by boat from Shuijun Lake, or go out from the back door of the zoo, cross a road, and walk more than 100 meters of mountain road to get there.
After seeing the sign, most of the tourists in groups of three or two came here out of curiosity, following the direction of the sign and climbing the mountain road. Many people saw several pet dogs running through the surrounding woods from time to time on the mountain road.
At the entrance of the hillside in front of them, there was a large screen with the four characters "Fox Home" written on it. It was surrounded by a small fence up to the knees of humans. It looked like a small farm, but it was obviously smaller than the farms where humans lived.
"Are there really many foxes living here?" A tourist looked around. This place didn't look like a place where animals were kept. It was no different from a rural countryside.
"Comrades, friends and tourists!"
Lao Lin took out a loud speaker from his back like a magic trick and said loudly in a somewhat poor Changping County Mandarin: "This is the fox home of the zoo. There live a group of cute and very smart foreign foxes in the home..."
Foreign foxes? Everyone was stunned.
Following Lao Lin and Xiao Lin around the screen, everyone saw clearly that there were dozens of small "houses" in front of them, and those foxes were in the houses.
After taking a closer look at the layout of these small rooms, tourists finally understood why this place is called the Fox Home. It is not just a random name.
