There lived a farmer named Chai in the deep mountain more than a thousand years ago. The farmer lived a happy life in the poor cottage alone. Because his parents died, he lived alone. He planted some vegetables and raised a few chickens and ducks in the field in front of the gate. He usually went up the mountain to cut firewood and sold it in the market. He changed rice and oil for a living. One day, as soon as the sun rose in the East, the farmer opened his door and took the axe and rope to the mountain. The optimistic farmer hummed an unknown song all the way. The birds in the mountain heard his songs chirping and singing, as if they were following him. When he went to the deep forest and looked at the thick branches, the farmer was about to work when he heard an unusual cry, like the voice of a wounded animal. The farmer put down the wood knife and looked for the sound. He saw a snow-white fox crawling among a pile of dead trees on the ground. His legs were hurt by the branches, and the blood had wet his hair. The fox's eyes were watery and looked at the farmer as if he was asking for help.
"ah, it's pathetic. I'll help you." The farmer is a kind person, which is known by the animals in this forest. Even the birds flying in the sky and the rabbits running on the ground are all taken care of by the farmer.
the farmer held the injured fox in his arms and found that the injury was serious. He had to be treated quickly, so he gave up the idea of firewood and went home with an axe. The little fox got better day by day under the farmer's care. Gradually, he jumped around. During the day, he followed the farmer to go up the mountain to cut firewood. At night, she slept on the farmer's quilt. A farmer and a Fox began to live together.
"snow fox, don't go there. It's dangerous." Snow fox is the farmer's name for the little fox, because the fur on the fox is as white as snow. The farmer cuts firewood while he still looks at the little fox. As soon as the farmer calls it, the little fox stops restless steps, runs back to the farmer and shakes his tail. Day by day, because of poverty, the farmer did not get a wife, snow fox accompanied the farmer for seven years. If this is happiness, I don't know if it's God's jealousy, and bad luck begins to come. An old man surnamed Zhao in the county heard that there was a treasure hidden under the farmer's house, but he didn't know the difference between the red and the white to ask the farmer to move. The farmer had a hard time. The deadline was only three days, and the farmer had to move three days later. Hearing the sigh of the farmer in the night, the little fox was also upset. He didn't understand many things, but he knew that the farmer was the best person in the world. All he could do was to climb at the farmer's feet and let the farmer feel his presence.
"snow fox, poor little thing, we have no home from now on." The farmer picked up the fox and stared at the fox like a child. Tomorrow is the last day. Thinking about his future life, the farmer made a decision. He decided to release the fox to the mountain forest and let it find his family. So he took out the only little rice wine in his family and fed it to the little fox. After eating it, the little fox seemed to be drunk and began to cry and sleep. Taking advantage of the deep night, the farmer held the sleeping fox and walked quickly to the mountain forest. He must put the fox in a safe place, because he saw an ominous sign in the eyes of the old man named Zhao. Where does the old man want the farmer's broken house, his eyes are full of greed for the little fox beside the farmer. The farmer thought that even if he gave up the house, the old man Zhao He will not let himself go, so he must arrange the fox properly first. He is reluctant to let the little guy be caught by master Zhao and skinned. At the thought of the possible consequences for the little fox, the farmer began to cry. Every drop of his tears fell on the little fox. After placing the little fox, the farmer looked back at the little fox step by step and said, "snow fox, go to your family, don't come back." In this way, the farmer cried goodbye to the little fox. When the little fox woke up, he found that he was sleeping in the mountain forest, and he did not see the farmer. The farmer underestimated the little fox too much. Even if he didn't walk that way, it doesn't mean that he couldn't smell the farmer's breath left by the way. The little fox ran fast and spent half a day running back to the farmer's home. The house was still there, the door was wide open, and a bloody smell came.
