In front of the hill was a pond of about thirty or forty acres, and as the wooden cart passed by, bubbles gurgled up from the bottom of the water.
Chen Shi thought to himself, "There must be a Prince's Tomb beneath this mountain!"
"This mountain is called Xiaoqingqiu, and it's covered with many trees. Our Hu Village is located on this mountain."
Hu Feifei told Chen Shi, "There is a big tomb under the mountain, but it has already been emptied, looted by grave robbers."
As the wooden cart entered the village, there were fertile fields at the foot of the mountain where corn, mulberry, and rice were grown, and chickens and ducks flocked together. The villagers were often handsome men and beautiful women, dressed brightly and speaking elegantly. There were also some aged elders with white hair, but they were still sprightly.
However, in the village the fox women were honored, while the status of fox men was somewhat lower.
