Chapter 63: Catch the Thief
After determining that the woman was the thief he was looking for, the white wolf naturally deduced the identity of the little fox.
"I guess what I was chasing at the time was not a rabbit, but a little fox in front of me, it seems that this is an organized crime.... One is responsible for seducing and the other is responsible for committing crimes. The white wolf muttered as he hid in the ancestral hall, waiting for the woman and the little fox to return, he did not dare to enter the forest for the time being, there was a faint mist in the forest, and he was afraid that he would accidentally go into the maze again.
Hiding in the ancestral hall, the white wolf was bored and looked at the statue of the fox god in the center, and he didn't know why, he suddenly felt that the fox god's figure was quite good, and even a little sexy.
"I'm probably really crazy. The white wolf shook his head, he didn't expect that a fox in the form of a beast would actually be attractive to him, could it be because he had been a wolf for a long time, and as a result, he fell in love with canines?
"I think it's better to like humans. The white wolf, who has a human soul, feels that humans are more in line with his aesthetics, so he simply stops looking at the statue.
It didn't take long for footsteps to come from outside the ancestral hall, and the sound came from the woman from before, and it sounded like she was walking in the direction of the ancestral hall.
The white wolf thinks so, now there is no evidence, there is no direct evidence that the woman stole his things, he had better follow her, see where she lives, find the place where she hid the dragon egg, and then the stolen goods will be obtained, and things will be much easier.
So now that the woman couldn't find out that she was following her, the white wolf simply hid behind the statue, which had a fairly thick base, and there was no problem hiding himself at all.
"O merciful and great fox god, please guide me with the light of the sun and help me through the difficult time before me...", the woman prayed, and the white wolf heard it clearly behind the statue, and he thought that this prayer was really vulgar.
"If the fox god exists, will he help her?" the white wolf knew that the so-called difficulties that the woman was referring to were exactly what he was referring to.
The woman made this wish, and then left with the little fox, but the white wolf did not immediately follow, and waited until five minutes after the woman left, and then he came out from behind the statue.
"It's enough to have a scent to track it down. "The white wolf doesn't need to keep the target in his line of sight to track, as long as the target is locked onto the scent, it will be very difficult to escape.
At the same time, the woman and the little fox were walking down from the top of the mountain.
"What should we do...? I didn't expect grandma to know about that egg.... Let's hurry up and give him back the eggs—" The little fox asked his sister cautiously.
"Maybe you're right this time...."The woman was silent for a while, and then replied, she now regretted stealing the dragon egg of the white wolf, originally she planned to give the dragon egg as a birthday gift to the sacrifice, but she didn't expect the white wolf to really pass through the fog, and there was still the mark of the fox god on his body, so there was no way to say that the white wolf was an intruder.
In other words, the so-called dragon egg is no longer usable on the grounds that it was looted from the hands of the invaders, and now it has completely become a stolen goods from the hands of distinguished guests, and there is no way to give it to grandma as a birthday present.
"How could this be...?, that guy, why didn't you tell me sooner that he was the one who was favored by the fox god? The woman looked obviously remorseful, but there was no way to make a decision, because once she handed over the eggs, it would mean that the theft was confirmed, and if she didn't hand it over, the consequences would be even more serious if the stealing was discovered.
She didn't want to be treated like a thief by her neighbors and friends.
"Go home first, and when the time comes, throw that egg into the wild, and no one will know that we took it. The woman chose a solution that was most suitable for her, since the egg had become a hot potato, she simply threw it into the wilderness, she knew that she was wrong to do so, but there was no way, in order to protect her reputation from damage, there was only one way to go.
"Only the two of us know about this, and you are not allowed to say anything!" the woman glared at the little fox with a warning look, and the little fox nodded in fright.
When they returned home, the two foxes quickly turned out the dragon eggs hidden under the bed, put them in a wooden basket, and walked out of the village.
The villagers all gathered in the big canteen at this moment and began to eat, and the woman deliberately chose a secluded route that was usually not taken by anyone, so their abnormal behavior was not noticed by the villagers.
The woman carried the basket and walked to the farmland around the village, where she saw a tall, corn-like crop.
"Let's put it here, in this case, it should be discovered by others tomorrow, and then we can pretend that we don't know anything. The woman told the little fox as she took the dragon egg out of the basket and placed it on the ground.
"Everyone has stolen money, how are you going to quibble?" The white wolf's voice sounded coldly from behind the two foxes, so frightened that the woman screamed directly, and the little fox hid directly behind his sister with a smoke, running faster than a rabbit.
"I... We—" The woman stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence, unaware that she had been targeted by the white wolf.
"I've been with you for a long time, and I know what you're going to do, it's just that you want to destroy the stolen goods. The white wolf came up and began to fabricate accusations, trying to bring psychological pressure to the woman in front of him.
"We don't want to destroy the stolen goods! You don't want to spew blood!" The white wolf's intimidation really worked, and the woman was already a little panicked at this time.
"Oh, tell me what you want to do, and why did you steal my things?" asked the white wolf with interest.
"I won't tell you, don't come here, or I'll drop this egg, and none of us will get it then!" the woman warned the white wolf in front of her in a threatening tone.
"Oh, actually, you can fall and see. Because he had long known the result of the woman's actions, the white wolf did not feel the slightest panic at all, but slowly approached the woman in front of him.
"You... Don't come here! I'm really going to fall! I don't lie to you!" the woman was holding the dragon egg in one hand, and the arm holding the dragon egg was trembling slightly.
The white wolf continued to approach slowly, which greatly increased the psychological pressure felt by the woman, and her trembling hand finally failed to pinch it, and the dragon egg fell to the ground with a "bang".
