Chapter 187 Farmer

A farmer was farming at the foot of the mountain, and his wife delivered rice with a clay pot. After dinner, I put the clay pot on the edge of the field and went to check it in the evening. The porridge in the clay pot disappeared. For several days in a row, it's like this every day. The farmer was suspicious and secretly hid aside to observe. He saw a fox probing into the clay pot and eating arrogantly. The farmer held a hoe in his hand, quietly approached, and hit the fox demon hard. The fox demon was shocked and wanted to escape, but his head was caught in a clay pot, and it was difficult to break free. The fox demon jumped back and forth, and the pottery pot touched the stone and smashed it to pieces. Only then did he get rid of the bondage. Seeing that the farmer was beside him, the fox demon was so scared that his soul flew away, turned over the top of the mountain and disappeared.

A few years later, in a rich and noble family in the south of the mountain, her daughter was entangled by a fox demon and recited spells, but it didn't work. The fox demon said to the girl, "The spell on paper, what can I do!" The girl pretended to be obedient and said, "Since you have profound Taoism, it's okay to be happy with you. But I don't know if there is anyone you are afraid of in your life? The fox demon said, "I have never been afraid in my life. However, ten years ago, when I was in Beishan, I went to the field to steal food and was beaten by a farmer. This man wore a bucket hat and held a grass hoe. He almost died in his hand. Even now, he still has palpitations.

The girl told her father about this. Her father planned to find the farmer for help, but he didn't know his name and residence, so there was no way to find him.

Later, the servant of this family went to the mountain village and chatted with people by the road. In his words, he mentioned the fox demon. One person in the crowd was shocked and said, "This matter is very similar to what happened ten years ago. Is it the fox demon that I drove away that came out to do evil again? The servant was overjoyed and immediately asked the farmer for help to drive away the fox demon. The farmer smiled and said, "In the past, I did drive a fox demon, but it may not be yours. Besides, if the fox demon can change, how can he be afraid of a farmer?

The servant insisted again and again, but the farmer couldn't do it, so he had to try it reluctantly. So he took the hat, took the hoe in his hand, and went to the girl's house to catch the demon. He hit the ground with a hoe and scolded, "What a fox demon, I can't find you every day. It turned out that it was hidden here. Humph, if we meet today, we have to kill you. After saying that, the sound of the fox demon's sadness sounded in the room. The farmer's courage increased greatly, and his face became more and more angry. The fox demon knelt down and begged and said, "Forgive my life, forgive me." The farmer scolded, "Go away quickly. I won't let you die."

The girl saw the fox demon holding the head and running away, and fled in a hurry. Since then, the family has been safe.
