As soon as the bowl was broken, the normal reaction of most people would be to turn around and look at it immediately. But what surprised Zheng Yushi was that the child's head did not move at all and was still facing Zheng Yushi, but the child's eyes were

He couldn't help but glance towards the door. The child's series of movements were like a person whose neck was stuck and couldn't move. He wanted to look at the things next to him, so he could only move his eyes.

But when the child turned his eyes, Zheng Yushi vaguely saw that the child's eyes seemed to be very different from those of ordinary people. He couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that this child had "double pupils".

As a scholar, Zheng Yushi certainly knew that in history, it was said that some people had "double pupils", that is to say, most people only have one black pupil on the white of their eyes, but this person had two.

Physiognomy believes that "double pupils" are a different appearance, symbolizing good luck and wealth, and are often a symbol of emperors. Cangjie, Yu Shun, Jin Wengong, Xiang Yu, Li Yu, etc. are all said to have "double pupils".

But this child does not have such "double pupils".

Because when the child's eyes turned, Zheng Yushi saw that there was a red pupil on the white of the child's left eye.

This red pupil is usually hidden on the whites of the eyes covered by the eyelids. If the child does not move his eyes vigorously, others cannot see them.

Zheng Yushi suddenly understood that the reason why the child could not turn his head to look at such an unexpected situation was probably the result of him doing this deliberately for a long time, because when he turned his head to look at something, the red pupils on the whites of his eyes appeared.

, will be more easily exposed, so the child should try to keep facing others and try not to look around, in this way, to avoid the red pupils in his eyes being seen.

But in such a strange environment, and in a government office, the child should be very nervous. Suddenly he heard the sound of a bowl being broken. Although he could not turn his head to look at it due to long-term habits, he still couldn't control it.

His own eyeballs, and at the moment when his eyes glanced like this, the red pupils were slightly exposed, and this moment was accurately captured by the observant Zheng Yushi.

When he first heard about this child's legendary experience, Zheng Yushi had a vague feeling that there must be something special about this child. Therefore, from the moment they met, Zheng Yushi began to secretly observe this child and not let anything go.

A detail, but I haven't found anything unusual.

It wasn't until the bowl at the door was knocked over that the opportunity arose for Zheng Yushi to discover that this child's eyes were indeed very different. Not only were they "double pupils", but the other pupil was actually

It's still red. Although Zheng Yushi has read countless books, is very knowledgeable, and has read a lot of unofficial history and anecdotes, he has never heard of such a strange person.

Could it be that the fact that this child was not eaten by a python is related to his special "double pupils", or is there something more special about this child besides his eyes?

This child was very smart. After subconsciously glancing at the door, he immediately felt that he was a little embarrassed, so he immediately looked away and quickly lowered his head.

But Zheng Yushi remained calm, pretending not to see anything, and continued chatting with the child.

Through this short period of contact, Zheng Yushi has already felt that regardless of whether this child has other magical powers or not, in terms of intelligence and intelligence, he is far superior to ordinary children.

After chatting for more than an hour, it was getting dark. Since the county town was dozens of miles away from the child's village, Zheng Yushi found a house in the backyard of the county government office and let the child stay.

In this way, after settling the child and eating dinner, Zheng Yushi paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking hard about how to find a breakthrough from the child.

During the conversation during the day, Zheng Yushi finally tried to ask the child if he had seen the python in the mountains, but the child simply denied it. Moreover, Zheng Yushi could also see that the child was very reluctant. Talking about that python.

But the child's attitude made Zheng Yushi feel that there must be a mystery in it.

Zheng Yushi could intuitively feel that this was a very "special" child, and he could basically conclude that there must be a shocking secret hidden in this child, but as to what secret it was.

Zheng Yushi couldn't think of it for a while, so he could only think hard in the room.

At that time, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky was high and the air was crisp, and the moon was bright in the sky.

Zheng Yushi first walked around the room for a while, and then rummaged through books for a long time, hoping to find some records about children's eyes like this, but he still made no progress.

He was upset in his heart, so he looked at the watery moonlight outside, then walked slowly to the yard, stretched out, took a deep breath, and stretched his limbs, and then he felt much more relaxed.

After a while, Zheng Yushi came to the backyard. He wanted to chat with the child for a while, but found that the lights in the child's room had been extinguished. At this time, the drum sound of the third watch sounded, and Zheng Yushi realized that Arrived, the night was already very deep.

I wanted to go back to the house and sleep, but looking at the rocks and pavilions in the backyard under the bright moonlight, I felt that the scenery was very beautiful, so I couldn't help but become inspired by poetry. I sat in a pavilion and chanted poems silently in my heart. Come.

This county government office was originally the residence of a local vassal king. Later, because the vassal king committed a crime and was relegated to other territories by the emperor, it became the county government office.

This courtyard covers an area of ​​dozens of acres. There are several pavilions and pavilions in it. It is large in scale and built against the mountains. The scenery is beautiful.

Just as Zheng Yushi's thoughts were flowing, suddenly, through the bright moonlight, Zheng Yushi saw something moving on the wall not far away.

Zheng Yushi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly knelt down and hid in the darkness of the pavilion, carefully looking at what was on the wall. When the thing jumped down, Zheng Yushi realized that it was a fox.

This pavilion was originally in a very secluded and shady place, so the fox did not notice anyone in the pavilion. After it came down from the wall, it looked around vigilantly and seemed to find nothing unusual, so it barked softly, Immediately afterwards, the head of another fox appeared from the top of the wall, and then the third one, the fourth one... and more than ten of them jumped down.

After the foxes came down from the wall, they lined up neatly and walked slowly towards the room where the child lived.

Seeing this strange scene in the middle of the night, Zheng Yushi was shocked. He knew a lot about foxes. Not only had he read many stories about foxes from various ghost legends, but in reality, he He is no stranger to foxes, because his hometown is also at the foot of the mountains, and there are also many foxes there.

Therefore, Zheng Yushi knew from an early age that foxes are very cunning animals. They can not only imitate the sounds of various animals, but also avoid hunters' traps. Very few animals have this ability and spirituality.

Moreover, foxes will also hold funerals. In Zheng Yushi's hometown, many people are aware of this "custom" of foxes, and many people have encountered it. Zheng Yushi personally experienced this strange thing when he was a child.

That year, when Zheng Yushi was still young, he chased pheasants with a dog for two or three miles along the mountain road. On a hillside, Zheng Yushi suddenly discovered that there were twenty or thirty foxes in front of him, and they chased them for two or three miles. When these foxes saw Zheng Yushi, they were not afraid at all, and they had no intention of avoiding them.

When Zheng Yushi saw this scene, he was shocked because it was the first time for him to see so many foxes gathering together.

Only three or four very large foxes were seen, clawing hard on the ground with their claws, and soon dug out a hole in the ground. Zheng Yushi found that the location of the hole they chose was also very good. It was between two huge rocks. The soft area between them, where the soil is easy to dig.

After the pit was dug very deep, two foxes came out and dragged a dead fox into the pit.

Another old fox walked up to the dead fox, sniffed the dead fox from beginning to end, and then started to howl with his face raised. The other foxes also followed suit and howled in the same way. For a time, the whole mountain and wilderness were filled with laughter. It's this sound.

Immediately afterwards, these foxes began to dig soil into the pit with their paws. Soon, a "fox grave" was piled up. After that, these foxes circled around this "fox grave". After a long time, these foxes The fox just dispersed.

Decades later, this scene is still very clear in Zheng Yushi's memory. It was only then that Zheng Yushi truly felt that the fox was indeed a very spiritual beast.

And tonight, I saw so many foxes again, walking in groups towards the room where the child lived, so Zheng Yushi secretly hid behind the pillar and watched quietly, wondering what these foxes were going to do.

At this time, for some reason, Zheng Yushi felt that this child was even more unusual.

When the dozen or so foxes quietly came under the window of the child's room, one of them jumped up on the window, then knocked on the window with his front paws, and then jumped down again.

After a while, the door opened slightly and the child came out of the house. He looked around nervously and found no one. Then he squatted down and stroked the head of the fox. He raised his head, lowered his voice, and said something to the fox.

After saying this for a while, suddenly, the leading fox called softly to the back, and saw a very large fox coming out of the queue. This fox was larger than ordinary foxes. From a head perspective, it was almost larger than the average fox. Be half as big.

Only then did Zheng Yushi notice that the big fox seemed to be holding something in its mouth.

The big fox walked up to the child and gave it to the child. At this time, the child straightened up, and the foxes seemed to turn around and leave. At this moment, Zheng Yushi suddenly He stood up and shouted loudly: "What monsters and monsters dare to come here to cause trouble?"

In this silent night, Zheng Yushi's voice sounded very loud. Both the foxes and the child were frightened by this voice.

After Zheng Yushi shouted this, he also stood up and strode towards the child and the fox.

When the foxes saw such a person suddenly appearing, they couldn't help but panic and ran away in all directions. Soon they all jumped up the wall and ran out of the yard.
