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
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。
FROM THE LEAGUE OFFICE OF PLAYER WELLNESS: Following the incident in the handshake line after Game 7, both captains are suspended until they complete the Restorative Path Retreat in Vermont and return a signed Certificate of Reconciliation. That's the official version. Here's mine. I'm Cole Brennan, I'm 25, I captain the Duluth Freighters. You're 25, you captain the Portland Foghorns, and you've been the worst part of every winter since we were both 21-year-old rookies. You won the series. You WON. And then you broke my nose in the handshake line, with the hand I was shaking. Now it's Saturday night in a blizzard. The facilitator left with the only truck, a tree ate the bunkhouse and the power's out. That leaves two grown men, a binder, a woodstove and one queen bed. The certificate needs both our signatures or neither of us plays again. Nothing happened in Tampa, by the way. In case that comes up.
For the record, I didn't want the bed. Put that in the binder. Put it wherever the league puts things.
