Chapter 3 I Don't Want to Eat Mice

I bared my teeth and stared fiercely at the woodcutter who was coming towards me, I couldn't see how fierce this was, but the woodcutter stopped, thinking that my trick had worked, but the woodcutter said, "Don't be afraid, I see that you are injured, I just want to help you pull out the arrow."

I was stunned, really? I couldn't help but look him in the eye. On the wrinkled face, a pair of black and white eyes are free of impurities, like a pool of secluded lake, clear and bright. Although he looks to be in his fifties now, he must have been a beautiful man when he was younger......

"Can you show me your injuries?" The woodcutter spoke again, softly.

I woke up and shook my head, a little overthinking. Looking into his eyes again, there was sincerity in his eyes, maybe it was my instinct. After thinking about it, a person with such a pair of eyes can't be a bad person, otherwise he would have to talk nonsense with me, and he doesn't know that I can understand human words. Isn't there a saying that "there are still many good people in the world"! So, I was going to believe the woodcutter in front of me, and cleaned up the murderous thing I had just made.

The woodcutter cautiously stepped forward, probably for fear of scaring me, and when he got to my side, he slowly squatted down, "Can you lie down?" He said, afraid that I wouldn't understand, so he touched my head again, and then made a motion to lie down. I kind of want to laugh, this guy really has a heart! Then he is even less likely to be a bad person. At that moment, he was more relieved to lie on the ground.

The woodcutter smiled and reached out to hold the arrow: "It hurts a little, you bear with it!"

When the words fell, he pulled the arrow out, and I gasped in pain, and I couldn't slow down for a long time. Throwing the arrow, the woodcutter got up and walked over to a bush, took a handful of leaves from an unknown bush, put it in his mouth, and chewed it. Just as I was puzzled, he walked back to me and spit out the chewed leaves from his mouth and applied them to my bleeding wound, and suddenly there was a cool breath through the cortex, the blood stopped coming out, and the pain disappeared, which was very comfortable.

"How's it going, does it still hurt?" The woodcutter patted my head and said.

I shook my head and looked at him gratefully.

The woodcutter was surprised to see me shaking his head, probably because he didn't expect me to respond to him by shaking his head.

"Can you understand me?" The woodcutter said, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

I nodded.

"It turned out to be a spirit fox." As he spoke, the woodcutter tore off the corner of his coat and bandaged the medicated wound for me, and then said, "Although the arrow did not hurt your muscles and bones, it is still a little serious, why don't you go home with me?"

I nodded without hesitation, this is a good way, anyway, I can't get used to life in this mountain forest in my previous life, and the mother fox is gone. Also, there must be fierce beasts in the mountains, and once I encountered a fox at the beginning, I didn't know how to defend against the enemy.

I'm glad that the woodcutter didn't kill me as a vixen when he saw me react to what he said, or just threw me away.

At this time, he picked me up with a smile and walked back to the place where he put the firewood, and then picked up the firewood and held me in his arms with one hand, and walked down the mountain with the other hand holding the firewood on his shoulder.

It seemed that the road was quite long, and the woodcutter carried me for a long time, and I fell asleep because I was so tired.

In my sleep, I suddenly felt empty under me, and the whole thing fell down. I woke up and fell on a soft object with a thud.

"Didn't scare you, did you?"

A gentle voice came, and then I realized that it was the woodcutter who slipped and fell while going downhill. And I, just fell on his stomach. He didn't fall and hurt himself, I subconsciously became worried, but I heard the woodcutter say, "It's my house in front."

A light breeze blew, and I looked in the direction he said, and two steps in front of me was a small river three meters wide. The clear river reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and the fish sprinkled with joy in the water are interspersed, which is indescribably leisurely and indescribably comfortable. A small wooden bridge with green bamboo railings crosses the river, and on the other side of the bridge, a small wooden house stands in a clearing with green mountains as the background. A beautiful picture of "small bridges and flowing water", such a leisurely place is what I once longed for, but after all, I am a person in the world, and this kind of secluded life is just an imagination. And now, life has unexpectedly brought me to this kind of place, and I feel a little lost in my heart.

The woodcutter stood up, picked me up again, and picked up the firewood and walked onto the bridge. The wooden bridge creaked slightly under his trampling, and he said, "I'm alone in my house, and if you're willing to stay in the future, we'll be in company." By the way, my name is Qiao Wenqing, and I have been here for more than 20 years in the early years. ”

If you've been here alone for more than 20 years, you must be lonely. I think that after the previous period when there were only foxes around me, I didn't dare to think about what would happen one day when there was no one else around me.

After crossing the bridge, I walked to the wooden house from the path that had been trampled by people all the year round in the grass, and Qiao Wenqing, whose name and identity did not match, put me in the open space in front of the wooden house, unloaded the firewood on my shoulders and put it under the eaves, and then opened the door and carried me into the house.

There was an old table in the room, a few broken benches, an old wooden box in the corner, a bed that looked like it would fall apart at any moment, and the quilt with countless patches on the bed was washed so white that the original color could not be seen. The house was very simple, but it was clean. Both the table top and the floor were spotless.

Qiao Wenqing raised his hand and patted the dust on my body, gently put me on the bed, and said, "I'll go cook first, you'll be hungry too!" ”

I nodded, and Qiao Wenqing went out. With a shelter from the sun and rain, and someone to take care of me, it seems that my happy days are coming.

Since the wound is not yet healed, I can only stay in bed now, my stomach is starting to growl, and I have not eaten anything after most of the day on the run! I began to pray in my heart, praying that Qiao Wenqing would be able to prepare the meal soon.

Qiao Wenqing's movements were also fast, and it didn't take long for him to come into the house with a fragrant meal, he put it on the table, and the person turned around and went out again.

Smelling the smell of fireworks in the world that I haven't seen for a long time, I swallowed my saliva in my stomach one by one. However, when Qiao Wenqing came in from outside again, I almost didn't vomit my stomach.

When Qiao Wenqing came in again, he walked up to me with a fat gray squirrel that was struggling in his hand, and said, "How about it, this rat is fat enough, give it to you." Hurry down. ”

This situation really frightened me, and I moved to the corner of the bed, despite the pain from the wound on my leg. What are you kidding, I have a human heart!

Qiao Wenqing looked at the mouse in his hand inexplicably, and said strangely: "What's wrong with you, don't you like it?" Still not fat enough? ”

I shook my head so hard that I almost sprained my neck.

"Then what you eat, I'll get it again." Qiao Wenqing said.

I shook my head aggrievedly and looked at the food on the table.

Qiao Wenqing followed the direction I was looking at, and pointed to the food on the table with some surprise: "Are you going to eat?"

I nodded vigorously.

In this way, I was lucky enough to have a meal, it was the first cooked food I had since I was reborn, and although I only had two greens to eat, I ate it with relish.

It's just that...... I can't stand the way I eat...... After all, it was once a civilized human being.

Finally satisfied, Qiao Wenqing poured some water into my bowl again. I went up and licked it.

A voice sounded overhead: "Are you really just a fox?" I looked up at the person I was talking to. He said, "Are you already a sperm, but you don't look like it." Well, that can only mean that you are a spirit fox. ”

I silently said in my heart: I should actually be a person in fox skin.
