The darkness is like a lump of slippery candy, sticky and sweet that surrounds a safe and warm abode. In the far sky, a few cold stars shone slightly, deepening the silence of the night.

Molly brushed her fingers over the little fox's fur in a moment, and she was equally fascinated by the smooth watery touch.

She was not tired, but in view of the "uninvited guest" who came in the middle of the night with fangs, she wished to go to bed later in order to avoid being woken up from her sleep by the terrible howl of wolves and the grinding of her paws.

Of course, the wild animals don't come to their yards every night, most of the time they just howl through the mountains.

Aside from that thrilling night and the day afterward, the wolves hadn't been around in the last few days.

There was something in the corner of the wall that shone slightly, and Molly looked intently, and could see that it was Qu Jincun's newly bought bow and arrow reflecting the starlight through the window, and the bowstring was also a little shiny.

It was evident that he cherished the new tool and wiped it with animal oil before going to bed.

Molly turned her gaze back to the kang.

Sticking to the outside of the kang head, there are two pairs of coarse cloth shoes, one large and one small.

Now both shoes are tattered, because neither of them knows how to sew them and let them go, but after a long time, sooner or later the toes or heels will be exposed...... Molly thinks that if there is no way to quickly clear this strategy, it is better to learn sewing skills by the way.

――You can't rely on everything to buy at a ready-to-wear store, right? I don't have that spare money.

After a long time, her movements of stroking the little fox became slower and slower, slower and slower, and her eyelids couldn't help but gradually close up and down, her head slightly up and down, getting heavier and heavier, and her sleepiness was like a warm quilt, gradually enveloping her.

Molly lay down slowly, the little fox in her hand had jumped onto the kang at some point, and the fox eyes glowed like jewels in the darkness.

Ignoring it, Molly closed her eyes and shook off the quilt and put it on her body.

In the comfort and safety of the dark, she will completely sink into a sweet sleep, without worrying about anything......

The little black fur crept slowly on the kang, and in the darkness, silently crawled next to Molly's face, tentatively sniffing her with its nose.

The girl slept soundly and sweetly, unconscious and unresponsive.

The little fox stomped its furry paw on her shoulder, then reached out and licked her lips with its nimble tongue.

It was about the itch in her sleep, and the girl moved her head impatiently, trying to get rid of the strange touch on her lips.

The little fox's movements stopped at once, its neck shrunk, its eyes flickered, and after a few more moments, seeing that she did not intend to get rid of itself, it once again stuck out its tongue and took the two soft and sweet objects as beautiful as candy.

It first gently outlined her with the tip of its tongue, kissed her face gently, and slowly touched her with a gentle spring-like movement.

Then savor the petal-like lines on your lips with your taste buds, licking the sweetness that leaks from your lips.

Then, like a real human kiss, it was not satisfied with the gentle snuggling between lips, and couldn't help but pry her teeth open and try to shove her tongue in.

Suddenly, Molly snorted, opened her eyes abruptly, sat up, and let out a low scream in the darkness.

The little fox lay dormant and quietly closed its eyes.

At the same time, Qu Jincun quickly sat up, put on his coat, he crawled over from the edge of the kang and hugged the girl, and asked gently, "What's wrong?" What happened? Got a nightmare? ”

Molly's thin body trembled a little, and it took a long time to calm down in the warm arms of the young man before she gradually calmed down.

"It's not a nightmare." She took a deep breath and said calmly, "I think the little fox you caught today should be a vixen, it is a vixen!! ”

With a snort, the boy who was still holding her laughed.

His chest shook, and a smile enveloped the two of them without reservation.

"What are you laughing at?" Molly was a little embarrassed, a little annoyed, and said angrily, "I'm telling the truth, not hysteria!" This fox is really a vixen, don't believe it...... Don't believe me, touch my face. ”

Qu Jincun couldn't help but laugh and touched her face seriously pretending to be serious.

"What's wrong with your face?" He asked in a whisper, "I didn't notice any difference in your face than usual. ”

Molly pushed him angrily and scolded angrily: "That thing licked my face, I still want to, I still want to ......"

She really didn't have the courage to say the latter words, could it be that she was slighted by a small animal? Why does it sound so much like a fool's dream? If she were a bystander, she would have scoffed at such words...... It's just impossible.

"Oh, I see." Qu Jincun pretended to clear his throat, touched the girl's face again, and then straightened his tone and said slowly, "Do you want to say that this fox licked your face, and Bacheng also licked your lips?" I felt my saliva...... That shouldn't be the Harazi you left behind, right? ”

Molly snorted, "Of course not! That's what you said. That's why I said it was a vixen."

The young man lazily patted her on the back and said casually: "You think too much, maybe this little cub just likes you and wants to recognize you as the master?" Isn't it? It's like a puppy and a kitten licking their owner, he wants to lick you and get close to you, but he just wants to get your approval. ”

Yes, is that so?

It always sounds like a fallacy......

Jasmine looked at him suspiciously, and in the darkness, the young man's eyes were sparkling like a little fox, reflecting the starlight outside the window, black and white.

"You can't have trained this fox in advance to trick me, right?" She suddenly asked coldly.

The boy was taken aback and immediately retorted, "How is it possible? I'm inseparable from you all day long, you follow me wherever I go, where do I have time to get that alone? Besides, it's obvious that I shot this little cub with a bow and arrow, so we have a grudge, okay? How could it listen to me. He said a lot of things, just to clear his suspicions.

That's what Molly wanted to say.

Maybe she's thinking too much.

She bowed her head thoughtfully, and snuggled up to him in the dark, not speaking again for a long time.

And the little fox was motionless, as if he had suddenly fallen asleep, and looked very innocent.

Seeing the people around him and dispelling his doubts, the young man breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and secretly wiped a cold sweat - so dangerous, almost seen through by her, never underestimate a woman's wisdom and intuition, but ...... She's really hard to!!

"If you really look at this little thing and hate it, throw it out and feed it to the wolves." The young man said pretendly, with the trick of retreating as advance, he will always be very proficient, "In fact, it seems to me that this thing is not as big as a little rooster, and it is estimated that the wild wolf can swallow it with one mouth!" ”

He said it so savagely, Molly couldn't bear it.

"Why don't you find a cage to lock it up?" After thinking about it, she could only come up with this one solution, "Tomorrow we will find a suitable place and release it." ”

"Do you have a cage at home?" The boy asked softly.

Molly hesitated for a moment and had to answer, "No." ”

"It has a wound in the leg, can it survive on its own? Can you dodge the beasts? The boy continued.

Molly reluctantly replied, "No." ”

Qu Jincun snapped his fingers when he boarded: "It's still true!" ”

Molly was startled by the sound and rolled her eyes.

"So, either you kill it or keep it," he waved and patted Molly's little hand again, concluding, "and that's the only way." ”

Hurt such a beautiful, small, cute and soft animal...... Molly admits sheer that she isn't that cruel.

So there is nothing to do, so the only way to raise it is to raise it?

But I always felt that something was not quite right.

"I'll have to find a rope to tie it to the ground," she muttered, breaking free from Qu Jincun's embrace in the darkness and fumbling to put on her shoes, "It can't go up to the kang anyway!" ”

Qu Jincun: ......

Little Fox: ......

"Whatever you want." The boy pretended to yawn, and since he couldn't hold anyone, he had to crawl back to his bed stupidly.

Molly found a straw rope and tied the little fox's uninjured leg to the rope and tied it to the window.

In this way, the little fox was several steps away from her kang.

Even if it can jump again, it is estimated that it will not be able to jump to the kang from such a distance with a rope on it, right?

After making preparations and ensuring the safety of the house, Molly was really sleepy, and it was estimated that it should be late at night by now, and no matter how young she was, she couldn't stand tossing and turning like this.

Getting into the bed, she barely rolled over, and fell asleep in three or two clicks.

That night, Molly dreamed of the persimmons she had eaten as a child.

After the persimmon fruit is harvested, it is astringent, processed into persimmons, cut into small pieces and placed on a clean plate, the persimmon is cut like an agate, and is reflected in the plate into a sweet pattern.

Persimmon is a big one produced in my hometown, with thin skin, golden red and bright color, soft and juicy, like a whole ball of honey, sweet and delicious, and very smooth.

Dried persimmons with such delicious persimmons, the meat is dry, the taste is sweet and long, and the sweetness makes people float. The sugar in it oozes out to form persimmon cream, which can cure a sore throat, sores on the mouth and tongue, and a cough in the lungs - Molly ate persimmons because her grandmother wanted to cure her children's cough.

The sticky and sweet piece lingers in the mouth for a long time, and when eating, the upper and lower teeth rub happily against the persimmon, stirring out an extremely rich sweetness, which is pure sweetness, so Molly can still remember the taste, the chewiness, and I am impressed.

I don't know why, she actually dreamed of such a long-ago food, could it be that after a long time of raiding, her own gluttony was also brought out?

"Persimmon ......," the sleeping girl with her eyes closed, muttered these two words vaguely from between her tongue.

Qu Jincun, who kept □□ her lips, was stunned for a moment, and then raised her head to listen, only to find that she didn't speak again.

"Persimmons?" He stuck out his tongue and licked the corners of his mouth silently, but he didn't feel any taste, so he comforted himself, "That means my tongue tastes like persimmons?" Okay Molly, I've taken your kind words......"

With that, he leaned down gently and kissed the girl's lips steadily.

And Molly, that weird dream about "persimmons" continues, it continues.
