Chapter 652: Fox Delivers a Child

After Mrs. Liu spoke first, Li Damu struggled with his eyes and hesitated for a long time.

Finally, Li Damu gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay! Anyway, we Mu Yang have grown up now, so we are not afraid even if we say this!"

Li Damu took a deep breath and said to Li Muyang as if he was risking his life.

"The one buried in the lonely grave outside the city is not your brother who died in infancy. What you heard in Jiuyuan City is correct. Your mother and I have only had one son from the beginning to the end."

"And what's buried in the lonely grave is none other than your body when you were two years old!"

Li Damu said these words quickly and suddenly.

After saying these words, he seemed to have been relieved of some burden, and his whole body relaxed as if he was relieved.

But his frank words made Li Muyang even more stunned.

Is it really him buried in the grave?

And now he is...

Li Muyang looked at his parents in shock and confusion, and saw Mr. Liu saying with a pale face and sad eyes.

"That was when you were two years old. Our family hadn't moved to the city yet and was still living in the mountains. Your father hadn't developed any skills at that time, and the conditions at home were poor. But you had just learned to speak, and you had a baby. Serious illness."

"In those half months, when the fever got worse, you even passed out and couldn't wake up no matter how you screamed."

"Your father and I are poor. Even if all our money is spent, the medicine we grab won't be able to cure you."

"Seeing that your condition is getting worse and worse, but your family can no longer afford to buy medicine, your father and I finally decided to go to the mountains to seek help from the Fox Immortal after much deliberation..."

Mrs. Liu recounted the past events in a low tone as if she was dreaming.

It seemed that she had returned to the days of poverty, despair and sadness, her eyes were full of sadness.

Li Muyang, who had no memory of this matter, frowned slightly.

"Fox Immortal?" He repeated the name his mother said and searched through the original owner's memories in his brain, but could not find any information related to Fox Immortal.

The original owner grew up freely in the realm of Jiuyuan City, but had never heard of the Fox Immortal.

Li Damu said in a low tone: "The Fox Immortal is a legend that existed in the countryside of Jiuyuan City before. At that time, Jiuyuan City and several surrounding states and counties all had legends about the Fox Immortal in the mountains and forests. If you encounter any difficulties, you can Ask the Fox Immortal for help."

"Fox Immortal will collect payment and help you tide over the difficulties."

"Your mother and I have heard this legend a long time ago, but at that time I had already started practicing martial arts and knew something about the spiritual world. I know that there are no immortals in the world."

"What's hiding in the mountains is probably a fox demon that came from nowhere. It doesn't dare to go to big places, so it hides in rural areas like Jiuyuan City to deceive people."

"This kind of wandering little monster is often greedy and terrifying. You must not have anything to do with it."

Having said this, Li Damu sighed.

Li Muyang understood what was going to happen next: "...but seeing that my condition has worsened, my family's money has run out, and I'm desperate, you choose to go to that Fox Immortal for help?"

Li Damu's words made Li Muyang even more confused.

How could a little monster who hides in the countryside and deceives foolish men and women have such power?

Li DaMou looked into the distance with complicated eyes, as if he was recalling the situation at that time, with a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.

He rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and said, "It was a moonless late night. Your mother and I quietly left the village and went into the mountains alone."

"According to local legends, we walked to a forest covered with green vines in the mountains, knelt in the forest and kowtowed, and while kowtowing, we asked the Fox Immortal for help."

"The wind was very cold at that time, and it felt like a knife blowing on my arms. I still can't forget the strange wind that night. It was obviously the dog days of summer, but the wind blowing out of the forest was so cold that I could shiver."

"Your mother and I knelt in the forest and kowtowed vigorously all night, begging the Fox Immortal to save you."

"It wasn't until dawn that we quietly returned to the village and stayed by your side."

"And your illness has not improved at all..."

Li Damu finished speaking quietly and lowered his head.

Mrs. Liu took over her husband's words and continued: "We didn't see the Fox Immortal. According to the local saying, the Fox Immortal didn't want to help, so he rejected us."

"So when we returned home, we wanted to sell our property and exchange money to buy good decoctions in Jiuyuan City."

"This is a last resort, but your father and I have no choice. We can't just watch you die."

"But on the night when your father went out to find someone to discuss selling the property, I was alone at home, and suddenly I heard the cry of a fox outside, and then a strange voice that I had never heard before called my name... "

Mrs. Liu recounted the past events of that night, and when she said this, she couldn't help but shudder.

A weak and helpless country woman heard a strange voice calling her name outside the door late at night... Such an experience can definitely be called a nightmare.

"I didn't know who was outside the door and I didn't dare to open the door. I could only hide behind the door and ask who was outside."

"But the voices outside the door stopped talking. All I heard was the strange laughter of the fox, and the vague cry of a child."

"Soon, the child outside the door started crying louder and louder."

"And I noticed that your forehead is getting hotter and hotter, and your breath is getting weaker and weaker..."

Liu looked at Li Muyang dimly and said, "In the end, you were lying on the bed and completely dead. You became cold and could not wake up no matter how I shook you."

"And the child outside the door was crying so loudly that it was deafening. That cry was exactly the same as when you were a child..."

"I don't know what happened, but the voice outside the door called my name and your father's name."

"The voice said, Li Damu, Liu, I saved your son, take him home quickly."

"I was so scared at the time, but for some reason, my body opened the door uncontrollably and ran out. I saw a naked baby lying at the door of my house."

"The baby was about two years old, white and chubby, crying very loudly, and reached out to hug me as soon as he saw me. But when I picked him up, I found that he couldn't speak, he could only babbled, like a newborn baby..."

Liu's words made Li Muyang's face change slightly.

"This two-year-old kid is..."

"Yes, it's you," Li Damu said, "According to the country folks, after being helped by the fox fairy, you must never let others know what the fox fairy helped you with, otherwise the fox fairy will take everything back."

"So your mother and I secretly buried your original body, and no one knew about it."

"We were afraid that you would be taken back by the fox fairy..."
