Chapter 541: Strange Things Happen Every Year, and There Are Not Few This Year

The fox walks to the crackling, first smells the hot crackling, and then stares at the crackling.

One can see that it can feel the temperature of the crackling.

The four Wang An people notice the fox's action and are also looking at this fox while eating cracklings.

Although foxes are not rare, one usually sees them from a long distance, or sees dead foxes; seeing a fox eat food at such a close distance is truly quite rare.

After a while, this fox steps forward again to smell the crackling, but perhaps it still feels it's hot, so it stares at the crackling again.

After doing this repeatedly, this fox finally picks up the crackling.

And the fox that picks up the crackling turns to leave, but suddenly seems to have thought of something, looks back at Wang An deeply, and then turns and leaves.

Wang Li looks at the fox that has already walked far away and suddenly asks very confusedly: "Why isn't it afraid that we poisoned the cracklings?"

Mu Xueli hears this and mocks while chewing the crackling:

"You think it's as stupid as you? That's an immortal; do you know what an immortal is? Smarter than people."

Wang Li hears this and says very disdainfully: "Cut the crap; can an immortal not afford to eat? Running to our place to beg for meat?"

Mu Xueli hears Wang Li's words and instantly forgets to chew the crackling in his mouth, then blinks his eyes rapidly, clearly being stunned by Wang Li's words.

And Feng Chengmin and Wang An are stunned for a moment, then laugh loudly.

It must be said that these words of Wang Li's truly have quite a bit of force, and the key is that they sound like there is no problem at all.

However, Mu Xueli's reaction speed is quite fast; after a while, he organizes his language and directly refutes:

"You say that, but Jiang Taigong fished, Liu Xuande sold straw sandals, and Zhu Chongba herded cattle; then you tell me, is there anything wrong with a fox not being able to eat meat before becoming an immortal?"

Mu Xueli's words are spoken, truly surprising Wang An and Feng Chengmin, while Wang Li has a confused look; it is very clear that Wang Li doesn't understand these things.

Actually, it is normal for Wang Li not to know these things; one must know that these things in this era, because of certain historical reasons, have a very low popularity; it is mainly because books in these aspects are all gone.

Although there are already many related picture books in the supply and marketing cooperatives now.

But to tell the truth, there are really not many people who can afford them, and even if they can afford them, the literacy rate is not very high, so in rural areas, picture books are not very common at this time.

And those who can know these things basically have heard some related stories and have to be told by the older generation in the village.

Mu Xueli can list them like family treasures, which shows he truly knows these allusions.

One sees Feng Chengmin say admiringly:

"Not bad, Xueli; I know Jiang Taigong and Liu Xuande, but what does that Zhu Chongba do?"

Wang An, although he knows these things, doesn't take the initiative to say them, because when Wang An heard these stories, it was before he went into the cage in his past life, told by a storyteller, and some were told by fellow inmates after he went into the cage.

Mu Xueli hears Feng Chengmin's question and says casually: "Zhu Chongba is the founding Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang."

Feng Chengmin hears this, nods thoughtfully, and says:

"Oh, this brother Zhu Yuanzhang has quite a few brothers; he is ranked eighth."

Mu Xueli hears this and is stunned for a moment, then explains:

"That's not it; Zhu Yuanzhang is ranked third."

Wang Li hears this and asks surprisingly: "Ah? Then why is he ranked third but called Chongba?"

Mu Xueli scratches his head and says:

"My dad said it, but I forgot." Hearing Mu Xueli can't say, Wang Li immediately asks Wang An: "Fourth brother, why is Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Chongba?"

One can hear that in Wang Li's heart, Wang An is omniscient and omnipotent, because Wang Li's tone, although questioning, reveals a kind of certainty.

After Wang Li finishes asking, Feng Chengmin and Mu Xueli also look at Wang An with full expectation, as if these two also believe that Wang An must know.

Wang An looks at these three pairs of eyes and says with a light smile:

"It seems because the year Zhu Yuanzhang was born, his father was 54 and his mother was 34, adding up to exactly 88; two 8s is Chongba; there is also a saying that the day Zhu Yuanzhang was born was exactly August 8th, so he is called Chongba."

After Wang An finishes speaking, Mu Xueli slaps his thigh and says: "Right, right, right, my dad also said, before the Yuan Dynasty, ordinary common people weren't allowed to take names..."

With this, the bickering behavior between Wang Li and Mu Xueli is interrupted by Feng Chengmin.

To tell the truth, Wang An still likes watching Mu Xueli and Wang Li bicker.

It is mainly because these two people's wild thoughts and various off-track words come out as soon as they open their mouths, just like crosstalk.

Just when the topic shifts again and the four people start chatting about panning for gold, that fox with a broken tail actually comes again.

And it didn't come by itself, but led a slightly smaller fox.

However, the fox it led is a common mixed-color fox, also called a red fox.

Wang Li is the first to see these two foxes, so he says very curiously and surprisingly: "Look, the fox from just now brought another fox."

The three Wang An people hear this and subconsciously look over.

This kind of situation is truly very abnormal; could it be that this fox really understands human language?

Otherwise, how could it be sure that the four Wang An people wouldn't hurt it?

However, this question is unsolvable.

Fortunately, the four Wang An people indeed won't hurt them.

Feng Chengmin sees this and sighs very shockingly:

"If this gray fox were before the New China, it might really have become an immortal."

Wang An nods and says: "Yeah, I found that this fox seems to be smarter than my Da Hei."

Feng Chengmin observes again and says with a smile:

"This gray fox is a male, and that red fox is a female; hahahaha, this is a couple coming to beg for meat together."

One sees these two foxes walk up to the Wang An group, and that red fox is clearly a bit panicked, hiding behind the fox with a broken tail.

And the fox with a broken tail is sitting, while this red fox is standing; one can see that this red fox has the intention to run away at any time.

Then, a strange scene happens again.

Because this fox with a broken tail stares at Wang An again.

Noticing the action of the fox with a broken tail, Feng Chengmin says to Wang An with a smile:

"Didn't you see it staring at you? What are you thinking? Treat it, hahahaha..."

Wang An hears this, looks at the two foxes, and can't help but laugh; truly, strange things happen every year, and there are not few this year.

Thanks to the big boss "Guangtou He" for the reward, thank you, thank you! Wish you a smooth journey and getting rich every day! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 542 =====
