Chapter 31: I'll Give You Something to Eat! (Scattering Flowers for the Helmsman)
Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and the flavor of the year is getting stronger and stronger.
At the foot of the mountain, the sound of firecrackers in the peach blossoms is becoming more and more frequent, and there is a faint sound of suona.
The best days of the year are at this time.
Wutong Mountain, compared with the lively and festive under the mountain, is cold and empty under the snow, and has its own world.
The trees are tall, the snow on the treetops has not melted, and it is mottled green, but the ground is still white, and it is easy to get lost when you walk in it.
"Everyone has an elixir, but they are vain"
"When the manna falls, the heavens and the earth merge, and the yellow teeth are separated from each other"
"The well frog should be said to have no dragon cave, and the fence magpie strives to know that there is a phoenix nest"
"Dan ripe natural gold... A full house, why bother.... Why not..."
Somewhere in the snow of the mountains and forests, there was a gentle chanting and whispering, and with the cold wind rolling lightly in the mountains and forests, there was a cold and ethereal taste.
It's just that the voice is obviously hesitant to pause after reading, and it seems that he can't remember the next sentence.
Looking for the sound of the past, I saw a girl carrying a bamboo basket on her back, stepping on clogs, pacing in the mountains and forests, collecting firewood, and holding a snow-stained branch, her eyebrows and eyes were full of thought.
"Alas, I forgot again, I'll read the book again!"
Hatsune patted the firewood she had picked up, slapped off the snow on it, and threw it into the basket behind her, feeling that her back was a little heavier.
She didn't care about it, she was annoyed, took out a green seal book from her cuff, turned a few pages, and looked down seriously.
"Why do you need to find grass and learn to burn thatch. β
"Danshu is naturally full of gold, why do you need to find grass and learn to burn thatch. β
Hatsune muttered a few quick words, then rolled up the book and tucked it into her cuffs.
So, while picking up the firewood again, she hummed the poem softly in her mouth.
As she walked, a small thing emerged from under a tree a few meters away, tilting its head, and her black eyes looked straight at Hatsune, who was reciting Dan words as she walked.
The little thing was about the size of a ruler, with a pair of furry ears and a beautiful white fur that blended perfectly with the snow on the ground.
It's a cute little white fox!
Hatsune's mind was all about memorizing Dan words, and where did she notice this little fox, and she was about to walk over.
The little fox jumped on both legs and rolled like a furball to Hatsune's feet, and his little paws grabbed Hatsune's trouser legs.
βen...β
The little fox snorted coquettishly.
"Huh.."
Hatsune was reciting Dan words in a daze, felt the movement, looked at his feet, sighed lightly, and then smiled.
"It's you little one!"
She squatted down and touched the little fox's head, which was soft and fluffy, and she was very happy.
The little guy squinted, squatted down and raised his head to the sky and screamed.
"Little guy, why did you show up today, did you heal from your injuries last time?"
Hatsune smiled, picked up the little fox with both hands, and looked at its lower right leg.
There was a bloodstain there, a little conspicuous among the white fur, but it was already scarred and stained with fine pieces of herbs, and it was fine.
"Hey, it's almost good, the medicine that Master gave you seems to be very good. β
When Hatsune saw this, she happily lifted the little fox high, and the little fox screamed even more happily.
"Little guy, what about your parents, you won't sneak out, how dangerous it is in this mountain, you are not afraid of it. β
Hatsune liked the cute little fox very much, looked around, and didn't see the two big white foxes that day, so he couldn't help but scare it, and his eyebrows and eyes smiled like a moon bend.
In fact, the master Jiang Xiaobai said that the altitude of Wutong Mountain is not high, there are no wild beasts in the mountain, and the mountain people in the peach blossoms in the early years hunted for a living, even if there were any wild beasts in the mountain, they were all killed, so the master Jiang Xiaobai was relieved to let her collect firewood in the mountains alone.
But there are still pheasants and rabbits in the mountains, and from time to time there are villagers who put two clips in the mountains to catch some small game, and the little fox is unlucky, two days ago was caught in the leg by a hunting clip, and was touched by Hatsune, when there were two big white foxes around the side of the anxious screaming, it should be the parents of the little guy.
Hatsune saw that this little guy was very pitiful, didn't say anything, rescued the little fox, and ran back to let Master Jiang Xiaobai treat the little guy's leg injury.
Later, the two big foxes chasing after me kept barking outside Jiang Xiaobai's yard, and then the little fox limped away with his parents.
Unexpectedly, I was collecting firewood on the mountain today and ran into this little fox.
Hatsune wanted to let the cute little fox go back, but he was afraid that it would be dangerous to let the little fox go back, and he was reluctant to let the little fox go back, so he hesitated for a moment, so he took the little fox in his arms, touched its little ears, and said softly with a smile:
"Little one, go back with me, I'll send you back when you want to go back. β
The little fox opened its little mouth, snorted twice, and rolled in her arms.
"Okay, let's go back. β
Hatsune chuckled lightly, and then turned back to the road with the bamboo basket on his back.
It's easy to get lost in the white mountains, but the footprints left by walking over are still clearly there, so Hatsune isn't worried about getting lost on this mountain.
It took about half an hour on the way back, and the entire empty mountain snow forest was very clean, and it seemed that she was alone, like a leisurely world.
Hatsune stepped on clogs, deep and shallow, stepped in the snow, hugged the little fox, and came to the west cliff under the mountainside.
Master Jiang Xiaobai's courtyard stood alone in the vast snow-white mountains.
"Master!"
When Hatsune entered the courtyard, she shouted happily to the inner room.
Unlike a few days ago, Hatsune was not familiar with herself, and suddenly she had a master of the same age, who even shouted "Master Brother", but after getting along for a few days, she became much closer to her.
Hatsune is frail and sickly, and rarely has the innocence and sociability that should be at this age, but after getting along with Master Jiang Xiaobai for a few days, the gentle and natural temperament on the other party makes people unconsciously close, and they gradually become cheerful to Master Jiang Xiaobai.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Xiaobai came out of the backyard with a black linen apron around his waist, obviously cooking on the fire.
Jiang Xiaobai saw her, looked at the little fox in her arms like a white furball, and said with some surprise:
"Why is this little bit with you?"
He naturally remembered that this was the little white fox who was injured a few days ago and was brought back by Hatsune to treat it!
"I ran into firewood while I was collecting firewood in the mountains, and this little guy seemed to know that I was there. β
Hatsune lowered her head and touched the little fox in her arms, then raised her head and smiled lightly at Jiang Xiaobai's eyebrows.
"Well, this little guy is pretty smart. β
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and smiled, touched the apron on his waist with his hand, and turned to her:
"Today, Chen's family slaughtered pigs, the little girl was brought over to play, eat at noon, I'll give you something to eat!"
There was nothing wrong with Jiang Xiaobai's words, but when Hatsune heard this, a flush suddenly flew on her face, and then she couldn't help but sneer.
