Chapter 259 The Future Paradise

After turning around the big stone screen with the words "Fox Home" carved on it and coming to the hillside surrounded by the fence, I finally understood why this place is called "Fox Home".

There are dozens of wooden houses half a person's height in front of me, lined up in rows, similar to human residential areas, but each house is a "small villa" with its own door and yard. From a distance, it looks like a group of villas standing in the mountains.

The owners of these small houses are foxes.

The villas have no gates and are semi-open. You can see the scene inside the villas at a glance. Foxes live in each villa, ranging from one or two to five or six. Su Ming allocated housing to these little guys according to the family unit. The villas of families with more people are larger, and the villas of families with fewer people are smaller. In fact, singles are the most cost-effective because the per capita area is the largest...

At first glance, you can see that these foxes are different from the foxes you usually see in the zoo. They are much smaller in size, but their ears are big and long. Two big ears like cattail leaves stand on both sides of their heads, just like characters from cartoons.

These foxes don't seem to be afraid of people at all. In front of a large group of tourists, the wide-eared foxes are not alert at all. They neither show a defensive posture to show their fangs to scare people, nor do they run away in fear. On the contrary, in their eyes, it seems that there are no tourists at all. They do what they should do, sleep, and continue to play in the villa...

There are more than a hundred little foxes with long ears and cute looks, forming a small village according to the family unit.

"Huh? What are these foxes with?" A girl suddenly pointed to a small villa not far from her, as if she had discovered something very interesting.

Looking in the direction of her finger, I saw four foxes in a small villa near the side, two older ones and two young ones, whose fur had not yet fully grown, and were covered with a layer of fine and dense fur, a family of four.

The two older foxes were wearing a set of small clothes, which were very simple in style, one was an ancient men's long robe, and the other was a short cheongsam. The two adult foxes looked like a couple during the Republic of China in this small outfit. If the foxes in men's clothes wore a pair of glasses, they would be more vivid.

As for the two little foxes, the older one wore a very simple small coat. If you look closely, you can see that it seems to be a school uniform, while the smallest fox wore nothing, but a red bellyband...

There was also a big blessing character on the bellyband.

"There are also over there..."

"This family is also wearing clothes..."

People kept shouting in surprise, and they realized that the foxes living in the fox home were all wearing human clothes. In order to prevent the small animals from feeling uncomfortable, these small clothes are made very simply, and many are made of the same material, but you can still see that the styles are different.

Most of them are dressed up by farmers. The roof of the small villa is covered with a thin layer of straw. Under the eaves at the door, there is a row of dried bacon, small corn cobs, and small red peppers. In the courtyard, there are even a few miniature hoes...

The only thing missing is to raise a few chickens in the yard, but if you raise chickens, they probably won't survive. A fox farmer raised a group of chicks. The next day, the chicks disappeared. Then they raised another group, but they disappeared again on the third day... What a cold joke...

There are also a few "fox" families, dressed like the scholars just now. On the wall of the small villa, there is a small bookshelf carved out, which is full of carved books...

This is like a small village. There is an ancient well at the entrance of the village. There is water at the wellhead. Any wide-eared fox can come here to drink water when thirsty; at the east end of the village, there are two houses that look quite dilapidated. Only a bachelor fox lives in them. The small door outside the yard of the other house is locked, as if afraid of someone breaking in, because there is a fox widow living inside...

There is a small land temple behind the village. There is a large house half a meter high at the gate of the village. No foxes live there. There are a pair of small plaques on both sides: Fox Ancient Town, Agricultural Books Passed Down from Generation to Generation... It turned out to be the ancestral hall of Huli Village.

If it weren't for foxes living here, it would look like a small village secluded from the world.

It was the fennec fox that "reminded" Su Ming. The fennec fox lives in tropical areas, mainly deserts, and is more afraid of cold. Even when it lived in an ancient tomb, hundreds of them gathered in an airtight underground tomb, and the temperature was basically constant.

The mountain behind the zoo is very cool, especially at night. Even in the dog days of July and August, the wind in the mountains is freezing at night. Lao Lin and Xiao Lin are guarding here, and even have to cover themselves with quilts. These fennec foxes can't stand it, so Su Ming simply found a tailor and made some warm clothes for them.

Later, he had an idea and planned to turn this place into a paradise.

The current fox home has only been built for less than one-tenth of the building, just the prototype of a small village. In the future, he plans to open up terraces on the surrounding hillsides, plant flowers and trees, and introduce small rivers to make this place a real paradise.

"Please pay attention, don't step on the foxes, don't destroy the buildings in the fox home..." Lao Lin shouted with a loudspeaker.

The tourists laughed and watched the foxes through the fence outside the 'small village'. Soon some people crossed the short fence, walked on the path in the fox's home, squatted at the door of the small villa, and teased the foxes living inside at close range. Broad-eared fox.

The broad-eared foxes are not aggressive, and they are well fed every day. There is no problem in close contact with humans. It is just that the entire village is scaled down according to the real scale. For foxes, there are very wide roads and large rooms in front of humans. , just like large toys, the responsibility of Lao Lin and Xiao Lin is to keep an eye on the side to prevent tourists from inadvertently damaging public property.

Less than half a day after the opening of Fox Home, tourists came one after another. Many people even learned about it from friends circles and the Internet and came here during the lunch break. The scene was very popular for a time. However, the order is very good, and there is no need for Lao Lin Xiaolin to remind them. The tourists are very cautious, for fear of hurting these cute little guys and destroying their 'home'.

But in the afternoon, Lao Lin found that something was not right with a few tourists.

What are you afraid of?

The fox is a creature that has always had a unique position in Chinese legends for thousands of years due to its graceful body shape and cunning eyes. Names such as the vixen and Wong Tai Sin have become deeply rooted in people's hearts. When seeing a fox, it is always a habit. People often think of some mysterious things, especially for older people.

But these broad-eared foxes in front of us are very smart. They are not only cute, but also very impressive. Generally speaking, animals, even tigers and lions, will have various instinctive reactions when they see humans coming, either running away or demonstrating. And these The fox turned a blind eye. This calmness alone is not something ordinary animals can possess. In addition, they are all wearing anthropomorphic clothes, and their eyes are lively, as if they can communicate with humans. These foxes really make people feel like they are here. A feeling of 'relentless spirituality'.

Just like old Lin Xiaolin, most people don't believe in the existence of any monsters, monsters or immortals. However, after seeing these long-eared foxes, some superstitious tourists couldn't help but think of fox immortals.

"

There was a guy with a big gold watch who looked like a nouveau riche. He squatted in front of the small earth temple at the entrance of the village and muttered: "Bless me, the Great Fox Fairy, and let me make a lot of money this year, and let the people in the shops across the street open their teeth." It’s a shame to use it as pants…”

Another old lady with a wrinkled face squatted in front of a small house, clasped her hands together and muttered: "Fox Fairy bless me to win more money playing mahjong, and don't let rheumatism in my legs happen again..."

It was a coincidence that some of the foxes in the fox home were bored at home and wandered around the village. Two of them happened to be passing by. When they saw the old lady and the others clasping their hands together, they actually imitated it. , put his two front paws together and bowed to the human opposite...

It was very lively now. The old lady was dumbfounded at the time and kept chanting "The great immortal appears, the great immortal appears"...

While chanting, he kept bowing to the little fox.

When she yelled like this, a lot of people immediately attracted a lot of people, all of whom stared dumbfoundedly at a group of foxes worshiping humans.

Most of the people present do not believe in Buddhism or Taoism. To put it bluntly, these days there are more people who believe in horoscopes than people who believe in religion. In the opinion of these people, these foxes are probably trained by special methods in the zoo.

Even so, it is too rare. More and more people are watching, including some superstitious men and women. Seeing this, they also say goodbye to the foxes. In fact, this is just for peace of mind. They may not believe that these foxes really have any 'magic power' .

The rich man from before simply took out a hundred yuan and stuffed it into the Tutu Temple, saying, "Don't just worship me. If you don't pay for the sesame oil, how can the Great Fox bless you!"

"Yes, yes..." The old lady was shaking and about to take out her wallet.

Seeing this situation, Lao Lin couldn't sit still anymore and had to explain clearly. After thinking about it, Mr. Su really had foresight. Otherwise, if he had not given special instructions, the good home of the fox might have been turned into a feudal superstition. Although Lao Lin is a bit superstitious, he has been a rescue station director for so long, and he still understands the big things. If he just raises a few little foxes and says goodbye at home, there is nothing to say. But the zoo is a social unit. If The nature of worshiping the Fox Immortal in the zoo and paying for incense is definitely different.

We must take action.
