Chapter Ninety-Four: Captivity
In a simple thatched hut surrounded by a fence, the girl tiptoed a ball of snow white in her arms and gently put it into a rice jar that had not been filled with rice for a long time. She put her index finger in her lips and made such a gesture to the white fox.
The white fox winked at her, and the girl couldn't help but reach out and touch its plush head as if she didn't understand.
Looking at the sky through the water tank, the vast galaxy seemed to be the size of the water tank, and the white fox had never looked at the sky from such an angle. And the girl's face smiling at herself, she was not beautiful, but her smile was sweet.
The door to the thatched hut suddenly opened, and there were several weak coughs. The white fox saw that the girl's eyes suddenly panicked, and hurriedly picked up the lid in his hand to cover the only passage where it could look to the outside world.
The white fox is not noisy, it has already given birth to a spiritual intelligence, which is naturally different from the beast that has not been transformed into a beast. Perhaps it was the girl's smile at it, and it chose to believe that the girl would not hurt it.
In the rice tank, it lay at the bottom of the tank, and the wound on its hind foot slowly stopped bleeding and healed under its weak spiritual power. The only thing that is uneasy is for the green fox.
"I'll go back tomorrow at dawn." The white fox thought so, and then gradually fell asleep.
At the first rooster crow, the white fox shook its big ears. Still with its eyes closed, it had spent too much spiritual energy to recuperate, and a night's rest did not allow it to recuperate.
The wooden lid on his head was opened, and the white fox opened his eyes. The girl let out a long breath, it was still alive.
After the girl looked around vigilantly, she gently picked up the white fox. The white fox's snow-white fur has been stained with blood overnight, but it does not affect the white fox's still eye-catching appearance.
The girl carefully wrapped the white fox in her turban, and was about to walk out the doorβshe was looking for a place to treat the white fox's wounds.
"Eldest sister, where are you going?" Behind him came a surprised slightly immature and domineering boy's cry.
The girl was stunned, didn't dare to turn around, and still turned her back to the little boy with her hair combed and said, "I...... I'm going to go up the hill to get some firewood......"
As soon as the little boy heard the music, he had already coveted the fruits that the children next door had picked up the mountain. But his parents never let him go up the mountain to work, and it happened that he woke up with morning urine this morning and bumped into his sister who was going up the mountain, he hurriedly ran to his sister with his pants waist and called: "Take me!" Take me! β
When the girl saw her brother running towards her, she became anxious. Her younger brother has been pampered since birth, the family is not wealthy, and his father is sick and laborious. Mothers are patriarchal, and almost all the work is on the shoulders of young girls.
This also developed his younger brother's arrogant temperament, and he cried whenever there was something unsatisfactory. But her mother is still spoiled, and her sister is like a slave in her brother's heart, and she has no respect at all.
The white fox in the girl's arms showed the tip of its black round nose and sniffed, it seemed to smell a nervous smell, and the girl's arms suddenly stiffened.
"Don't come here!" The girl suddenly shouted.
But where would her brother listen to her scolding, and still trotted towards her. Seeing that she couldn't stop the other party, the girl hurriedly ran towards the wooden door, which was only decorative.
The little boy was already angry because of his sister's scolding, how dare she murder me?
The little boy had only this sentence in his mind, and he had forgotten that he had only wanted to play with his sister in the mountains.
The girl's hand was on the deadbolt, and the boy slapped his sister in the back. His small fists were clenched, leaving no room for him to hang down towards his own sister.
The girl bent over in pain, and the corner of the white fox's turban was exposed. The white fox's snow-white fur leaped into the little boy's eyes.
"What's that?" As he spoke, the boy reached for it. The immature hand grabbed the white fox's supple fur without pity, and pulled it out of the girl's arms with all his might.
The white fox was in pain, and instinctively bit the boy's delicate little hand.
"Ahh The earth-shattering screams shook a few straws off the thatched roof.
Such a terrible shout naturally alarmed the couple resting in the house.
The woman in the thatched hut heard the cry of her precious son, and she jumped up from the kang and ran out of the house, without caring for her clothes.
She saw her son holding his hands in his arms, standing in front of his daughter and crying. When she saw her son crying into tears, her heart seemed to be torn apart. She didn't ask whether it was right or wrong, she stepped forward and slapped her daughter first, and then flattered her only son as if she had to comfort her.
When the boy saw his mother coming, he immediately had a backbone in his heart. He couldn't hit the girl's face, so he kicked the girl's calf a few times, and then pointed to the white fox in the girl's arms and cried: "This beast bites me!" Shoot it, shoot it! β
When the woman saw the back of her son's hand that had been bitten through the flesh, she subconsciously thought that the girl had picked up a wild dog without permission, and what she was thinking about was how to use the wild dog to make up for her son.
But when she saw the long sharp mouth and slightly hanging eyes, as well as the snow-white fur, she was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that the white fox was staring at herself vigilantly, but nesting peacefully in her daughter's arms, she thought and said, "What a beautiful fox." It was found in the mountains, right? β
After the white fox bites her brother, the girl knows that her suffering is coming again. But at this time, when the mother saw the white fox, she asked herself a pleasant question, didn't she scold herself for the fox biting her brother?
The girl nodded mechanically, and she still had to agree to her mother's question.
When the woman heard this, she was immediately overjoyed and said, "You have to watch this white fox carefully, so that outsiders don't see it." And the little brother, this matter can't be said. If you can keep it secret, my mother will buy you big stick bones to eat. β
The girl doesn't know what her mother means, so that people don't see the white fox? She looked at the little fox in her arms, this unique appearance and fur were really special. Although she has never seen the world, she may not understand what it means to "harbor a sin". But she had heard that someone had hunted a rarity and had been stolen within a few days of leaking the news.
Her thatched hut was a four-walled hut, and it was easy to steal.
The white fox's bite was not heavy, and the boy's wound did not have any flesh, but only some skin was broken and bloodshot. He also forgot about the pain at the moment, and immediately nodded frequently when he heard his mother promise to buy a big bone stick for him to eat.
The father, who had been late, saw this very well, and before he could ask, the woman took her husband aside to discuss the matter.
As he spoke, he looked at the white fox in the girl's arms, and his eyes seemed to have a great treasure. The girl never thought of keeping the white fox by her side, she only thought about taking care of it until her leg was healed, and then let it go back to the mountains.
But all this seemed to be disrupted, and she glanced at the white fox in her arms guiltily. The white fox was really human, and there was fear in his eyes. Because what it saw in the eyes of the couple made it want to run away.
Just as the white fox was locked in a temporary fence, the green fox was looking for the blood left by the white fox. Its green fur exploded, and it let out a low roar in its throat. Anger and panic caused it to suddenly mess up the phalanx.
