When they went back, the two of them walked fast, because the sun was setting, but the home was still on the other side of the three mountains far away, so in order not to pass through the wild beast-infested mountains and forests before dark, they pulled me and ran away, and they didn't dare to stop at all.

Molly didn't care about her image, pulled up her new clothes to prevent them from being scratched by the blades of grass, took the boy's arm, and walked two steps and ran two steps.

The boy carried a heavy bamboo basket full of newly purchased things, and strode through the bumpy paths, and from time to time he had to take the girl half-on his back and half-hugged for a while.

When the sunset hung in the sky and there was only a trace left, they were less than 20 miles away from the village, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

As the twilight deepened, the surrounding scenery became hazy and blurred.

Molly panted and wiped her sweat, looking around warily.

But soon, the young man next to him suddenly took out his bow and arrows, and quickly pulled the bow and shot an arrow.

The fierce wind whistled by, Molly quickly turned around and asked nervously, "What is it?" What's wrong? ”

Qu Jincun looked into the distance for a moment, and suddenly said, "It seems to have shot a fox." Wait here for me not to move. ”

Molly bit her lip lightly, frowned involuntarily, and saw the boy running over as if he were flying, picking up something from the far ground.

It was a furry ear, a large fluffy tail, and eyes like black jewels, and fur like fine black satin...... Little fox.

"It's a Xuanhu", Qu Jincun ran back to her happily and said, "It's just a little too small, not enough to get a fur scarf." ”

The little fox was shot in the foot with a bow and arrow, and hung pitifully on all fours, hanging on the boy's hand, and from time to time raised his eyelids to look at this and that, and suddenly squeaked twice at Molly.

"It seems to be talking to me." Molly said in surprise, "It's said that foxes are human, you can let it go!" ”

The boy was very unimpressed by this statement, and casually threw the little thing into her arms, and the fluffy tail instantly swept over Molly's chin, bringing a smooth and smooth coolness.

"Let's keep it first!" Qu Jincun said, "Raise it a little bigger, and then peel the skin to make a hairy shoulder." ”

Molly looked at the little fox, who looked at her with wet eyes.

"Okay, okay!" She was inexplicable and felt a little embarrassed, so she had to agree casually.

The family of three walked back to the house, and there was no one in it all day, and the house was cold and cold.

Qu Jincun let Jasmine sit by herself, holding the little fox to keep warm, and he lit a fire, ready to cook a little rice porridge and eat it.

Molly took a strip of cloth and grabbed a little ash and sprinkled it on the little fox's injured foot before the fire was lit, and bandaged it.

The little fox is obediently held by people, not like an animal that lives in the wild, as if she has been raised by her for many years, more well-behaved than a cat.

Molly couldn't help but touch it twice, and the little fox who touched it squinted comfortably.

At the same time, the young man who was adding firewood to the flames also squinted his eyes for some reason, and a meaningless grunt came out of his throat.

That night, the little fox slept on the kang.

For some reason, the boy didn't mean anything about it, and let the little thing lie in the girl's arms.

Molly looked at Qu Jincun and found that he quickly fell asleep, his snort was calm, he should be very tired, and his body didn't move.

She had a little fox, so she was naturally embarrassed to let Qu Jincun stretch out his hand on her forehead to comfort her.

Distraught, Molly didn't notice that the little fox gently bit her button open and quietly poked a fluffy tail in.

Molly, who didn't sleep well, always felt as if she was surrounded by a very soft and comfortable breeze in her sleep......

The breeze swirled around every part of her body, sometimes sweeping across her cheeks, sometimes across her foreheart, smooth and soft...... The whole person who is comfortable is going to melt.

It made her want to wake up immediately and get rid of that weird feeling, and she wanted to sink down all the time - what a contradiction!

There was no wolf howling that night, and it occurred to Molly later that maybe she had slept too soundly to hear it.

Either way, without being awakened by the horrible sound of scratching the door and the low roar, she finally felt a little more recovered.

The weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and they are reluctant to wear the new clothes they bought, so they put on the original old coarse cloth clothes, and put on the two big leather jackets given by Orion, and their bodies are also warm, and the peasant life does not pay attention to so many images.

Molly scratched her head a little and found that since the little fox was hugged by him, he could no longer leave her fingers, and every day he would run to her arm at every opportunity, with a pair of big black and watery eyes, and he would only obediently jump down after smoothing his hair with his hand for a while.

(It feels like this fox is like a human being.) Molly couldn't help but say to Qu Jincun, (I can't get rid of it now, what to feed it?) )

Qu Jincun replied disapprerovingly: (Ask whatever you want!) Anyway, I'm going to raise a skin, and I just feed it without dying. )

He said it so justifiably that she was speechless.

But when I think of the little things that are soft and cute, well-behaved and obedient, they will be torn in half by a pair of hands in the future...... Molly shivered excitedly, and decided to take advantage of Qu Jincun's inattention, and quietly went to the forest to release the little fox.

If you want to find a suitable place to release the animals, you have to go out and compare the surrounding environment.

Qu Jincun planned to hunt wild ducks with a new bow and arrow today, and Molly's little follower chased after him, holding the little fox and coming to the small lake on the other side of the mountain next door.

In the morning when there is heavy fog, remove the net in advance, and use the sound to make the wild ducks fly away and strayed into the net; Or at night when it is dark, the net is put under the net, and when the wild duck comes to feed, the net falls and is caught.

In addition to hunting wild ducks, Qu Jincun also constantly looked for wild duck nests and picked up the eggs. Prepare to eat the green onion quiche.

The thought of the oily and fragrant delicacy made his tongue salivate.

Because the wild ducks also have to fly south for the winter, there are not many left in the lake, and it is estimated that they are all passing by for a rest.

Qu Jincun bent his bow and arrows, shot an arrow here and an arrow there, and had a lot of fun.

He quickly got his hands on the newfound weapon, and as he became skilled, his hit rate was much higher, and Molly had been hunting for duck eggs, and though there weren't many, she managed to find some.

There are two ways to make salted duck eggs, look for fresh duck eggs of uniform size, wash them, wrap them with yellow mud or straw ash that is stirred evenly with water and salt, and then put them into the jar of small mouths and big bellies, seal them for more than a month, or soak them directly in salt water, which is also sealed for more than a month, and take them out and cook them. After the former is cooked, it can be seen that the egg yolk naturally leaches red oil, and the egg yolk is finely sandy; The oil yield of the latter is much lower than that of the former, and the taste is not as delicate as the former.
