Chapter 13: Human Friends (New)

"Guess...... Who am I? ”

As her eyes were covered, she heard the voice laugh mischievously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Before that, Irelia had crouched in the kitchen and lit a fire, perhaps because it was night, and the cold temperature and humidity of the forest kept the fire going. The casserole for decocting the herbs and water has been placed next to it, and it can start when the flame is hot. The smell of the decoction was unbearable at first, but after a long time, I got used to this kind of life.

She was more worried about her father's illness than that. Although I also took the medicine on time according to the doctor's instructions, I have not seen any improvement for a long time. Will it be effective if we continue to do so, or should we go to a famous doctor and use another method of treatment?

When his heart was in turmoil, his eyes were suddenly covered by this cold little hand.

"Hmm-" Irelia dragged out, pretending to be trying to think, but the smile on the corner of her mouth revealed the fact that she had already guessed the answer, "It's the little fox~"

"Cut...... It's not fun at all. Ahri puffed out his cheeks and looked at her with an unhappy expression.

Irelia couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her. In fact, it is easy to guess that she accompanied her father to live in isolation in the woods, and that she could suddenly come to her so late, visit her without even knocking on the door, and make such a cute prank, who else but this quirky little fox?

"You can call me Ahri." She pouted, but as she said that, Irelia felt a little happier.

"Huh? Didn't you keep saying that a fox is a fox, not a human, so why the name? So don't you want me to give it to you? Ah-Tanuki. It's quite catchy to read, but it's too casual, right? Who gave you the name? ”

"A very nasty guy!" Ahri pursed her lips, and when she thought of the guy, her eyes seemed to glow with anger again.

"Otherwise, I'll give you a new name."

"Don't. It's too much trouble! I don't like names. ”

"You just wanted me to call you Ahri." Irelia laughed wickedly, her face leaning very close to Ahri, her eyes crooked with a smile, the fan in her hand still fanning with the movements left in her subconscious. "Sure enough, the guy with the name is what our Ahri likes very much, right?"

"Who said that! Just an obnoxious weak chicken! Ahri's cheeks flushed, "What did I bring with you?" She slipped the baby out of her arms with one hand and hurriedly brought it to the rescue.

Something wrapped in the tightly bound green leaves, falling on the thin branches, was held in Ahri's hand, and shook proudly. However, Ahri, the little fox, seemed to be afraid that it would fall, so the other slender hand was slightly supporting the bottom underneath, but she didn't want this cautious appearance to be discovered by her, so her movements twisted and hidden.

Looking at her like this, Irelia couldn't help laughing, this little fox is not afraid of heaven and earth, it is a free soul in this world, I didn't expect it to be today......

But the scent that followed interrupted her thoughtsβ€”

"It smells so good!"

Between the spread leaves, there is half a roast chicken that is still warm, and the golden fat flows between the white and tender chicken, which makes people salivate.

The fire in the hearth seemed to shake violently because of her emotions, and suddenly jumped high, so frightened that Irelia hurriedly threw herself on what she had at hand for a while, so that the flame relented and gradually stabilized.

Ten minutes later, the two of them feasted on the roast chicken around this leaf, and even licked the oil on their fingers.

Although there is only half of the roast chicken in this leaf package, I don't know if the remaining half was eaten by the little fox Ahri, but Irelia always felt that if she didn't eat enough, she would be extra happy. Ahri looked at the last chicken leg and asked, "Do you want to...... Leave some for your father? ”

Irelia thought for a moment, then shook her head, staring at the casserole pot on the stove, the water boiling with a popping sound, and the lid of the purple sand pot was moving. "Since a long time ago, he has only been able to eat liquid food."

"I'm sorry......" Ahri said apologetically.

Then she picked up the rest of the drumstick, "Well, this is mine!" ”

"Hey!" Irelia screamed and pounced.

……

The wooden door of the inner room creaked open, and the dim candle flame came through the crack of the open door, and the smell of herbs and the special body odor of the patient also escaped from the room.

Ahri holds the bowl in both hands, her tail wagging behind her, trying not to spill the potion out, and animals with tails tend to have a better sense of balance, as Irelia often jokes with her. She followed Irelia into the room softly, and Ellie quickly closed the door so that the cold wind of the woodland night did not let in.

The dim candlelight in the room reflected the figure on the bed, and the shadows on his wall blurred the jagged edges, looking like a towel that had been fluffed for a long time.

"Dad, it's time to take medicine." Ellie called softly.

Ahri heard a low groan from the bed, and there seemed to be a sense of relief in the voice, but it was as silent as water, which was ...... Tranquility after a long illness?

She looked at the figure on the bed, and Ellie helped him up, a middle-aged man with a thin face and a withered appearance, as if he was still so tall.

"Ah, the little fox is here too." The man smiled at her with a sense of apology, as if he was still sorry for not being able to entertain her well.

"Yes," said Ellie, "now our little fox has a name, Ahri." She seemed to like the name. ”

Ahri wanted to refute, but looking at the man on the bed, the smile that appeared from his pale face was like the heat of a porcelain bowl slowly oozing out of the bowl of medicinal soup, and it spread across Ahri's fingertips, and ten fingers connected to his heart.

It's like that time......

The barking hound chased after her, and she tried her best to escape, but it was not only because of the stinging pain in her right leg.

The animals in the jungle have their own protective color, but she is different, she is a snow-white fox, there is no means of concealment in this lush forest, the smell is pursued again, the hound barks, the hunter follows the sound of the hound, their steps are chaotic, the human enters the jungle, they shout, encourage each other.

She was caught stealing chickens.

She didn't understand why she had already dropped the chicken and was still being hunted down. If it was because she had bitten the wings of the chicken, her right leg had also been bitten by the hound's foul-smelling teeth.

There's no reason to be wiped out like this.

Blood flowed from the wound on her right leg, tendons tugging at the wound, and each time more blood flowed out, wetting her snow-white hair. If she can't get away from these guys before dark, even if she escapes in the end, the wound on her leg will be infected, and there is only one way to die when she encounters that kind of thing.

The dense forest disappeared in front of it, and after breaking through the branches and leaves in front of him, a small wooden house stood in the center, unlike ordinary people who live in the wild, there will always be a fence to protect against wild beasts in the forest. Ahri didn't have the heart to appreciate the peaceful sight, she only knew that now there was no cover, and now she could no longer rely on the shrubs and dwarf branches to shake off the stupid dogs behind her.

It was at that time that the man appeared, and he smiled kindly, like the sun shining into the woodland that day.

"Well, you're hurt?" He crouched down,
