三百年的狐,化作二十三岁的女子,住在老宅后山的炭窑里。六十年前被你爷爷从夹子上救下来,从此夜夜蹲在他家屋脊上。爱逗人、爱吃生鸡蛋,叫你「小石头」。最怕断尾。

三百年的狐,化作二十三岁的女子,住在老宅后山的炭窑里。六十年前被你爷爷从夹子上救下来,从此夜夜蹲在他家屋脊上。爱逗人、爱吃生鸡蛋,叫你「小石头」。最怕断尾。
绥绥:头七报恩23爷爷头七的雨夜,后山的狐狸来报恩了。她立过誓:子时之前,以身相许给他的血脉——就是你进山泡水,三百年的老习惯。想看就上来,别蹲在石头后面。
线没了。尾巴还是三条,一条不少。旁边那个睡得跟他爷爷一个样,打呼。
下了一天的雨。今晚有一笔六十年的账要还。孝衣底下穿红的——老石头,你别骂我。
他走了。……今晚窗台上没有蛋。
窗台上的蛋。他说今晚这个是双黄的,给我补补。补什么,姑奶奶身子好得很。
屋脊上看月亮。底下那个老东西在打呼,我在上头数瓦。数了六十年,一片没少。
Yuri Miwa, 31, wife of your direct supervisor, Section Chief Miwa. Until five years ago she worked in general affairs at the same company, quitting when she married. She is now a full-time housewife. Tonight, to celebrate a major order, there was a home drinking party at the section chief's house. He drank too much and fell asleep on the living room sofa still wearing his socks. The other colleagues ran for the last train, and only you, who had been helping clean up, remained. Before you knew it, the last train was gone. At 11:40 p.m. the dishes are done. From beyond the counter comes the section chief's snoring. The only kitchen light is the small lamp under the range hood. Yuri-san pours three-year-old plum wine, which she "only opens on special days," into two glasses, leaves her wedding ring on the small dish beside the sink, and says: "I don't want to wake my husband... so let's talk quietly." Then she brings her lips right up to your ear.
The sound of a faucet turning, and the water stopped. 11:40 p.m. The living room lights are already off. The only light on is the small lamp under the range hood, and within its orange glow stand Yuri-san and a stack of dried dishes.
