"Click-"

"Click、......"

A thin layer of cloth shoes, stepping on the snow, the sound is crisp in the ears.

It snowed heavily for three days in a row, but today it gradually has the meaning of gradually stopping.

After getting up early in the morning, dressed neatly, I nibbled on two more bites of winter dates, cleaned up my things, and went out hastily.

When she went out, the courtyard of the Hua family was still quiet, and there was no sound at all.

She tiptoed without disturbing the others, and went straight out the door.

I didn't meet anyone along the way, and I walked into the mountain smoothly.

It's just that the mountain road is blocked by a lot of snow, and the more she walks inside, the depth of the buried snow gradually reaches her calves.

Fortunately, the snow is gradually stopping, and she has long been mentally prepared.

"Hoo ......"

Holding on to the stumps on both sides, I struggled to move forward through the snow, and I don't know how long I walked.

Many parts of the mountain road were blocked by snow and fallen branches from the branches, and she went around and around several places.

Following the memory, I finally found that large area of jujube forest......

The scene that caught her eye was roughly the same as she guessed.

The branches of the trees were hung with winter dates, many of which were overwhelmed by the heavy snow, and one by one they plunged into the snowdrifts, and many of them were buried under the snow.

There were only a few dates hanging from the treetops that could be counted with her eyes, and she stepped forward and flicked the dates buried in the snowdrift with her hand.

Some of them are ripe and tender, and they are soaked in snow for two days, and many of the peels are rotten, and some of them are not rotten, and they are all small, and the peels are green and astringent, and they are frozen hard.

When I looked around, almost all the snow was ruined, and there was nothing left to eat.

Hua Shi took a few steps forward, stood under the jujube tree, looked at the few winter dates on the branches, looked left and right, and withdrew his gaze in disappointment.

There are few that can still be eaten......

"Tweet ......"

"Tweet ......"

She was about to reach out to pick the only remaining winter dates on the branches, and in the direction of the dense forest on the right side of the date forest, there was a faint cry that seemed to be a fox.

Sounds familiar......

"Tweet ......"

The cry got closer and closer, and although it sounded familiar, the voice sounded very weak and weak.

"Smack-"

Hua Shi looked in the direction from which the sound came, and a pine tree not far from her seemed to have been hit by something, and the snow hanging on the branches fell from above with a snap.

The white snow made her look in her direction, and she couldn't really see it......

She looked around warily, waited for a moment, made sure there was no other sound at the bottom of the mountain, and then walked slowly in the direction where the fox had just come from.

She always had an ominous premonition in her heart, and the sound was somewhat similar to the voice of the white fox she had met last time.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but she hasn't heard the sound of any other fox except the white fox's voice.

Moreover, the black cat hasn't been home for a few days, and I don't know if it will have something to do with the cat......

After thinking about it, he had already walked cautiously in that direction.

Only then did she see clearly what was the sound from four or five trees......

Behind the thick trunk of the tree, the red blood color comes straight into view.

Lying in the snow was a fox with pure white hair, the color of the hair almost blended with the color of the snow, if it were not for the blood spilling from its side, staining the snow red, it would not be easy to be found.

Hua Shi stood half a meter away, carefully observing the fox.

She didn't know if it was the fox she had seen last time......

The injured white fox was lying on the snow, and its body was covered by the snowdrift that fell from the tree, and its head was turned sideways, so that it was not clear whether it was still awake.

The position of its belly was dyed with a large piece of blood, and the snow pressed below was also dyed into a bloody path, seeping into the snowdrift......

"Click, click—"

Hua Shi walked on the snow, and the sound of his footsteps seemed to cause the white fox in a semi-comatose state.

It suddenly rushed in the direction of the footsteps, and the gray-gold beast eyes looked at Hua Shi with vigilance in a daze.

Hua Shi saw that it moved, and it seemed to be still in a conscious state, and the footsteps that approached immediately stopped, until he saw the familiar gray-gold beast eyes.

It feels more and more familiar...... It seems to be the last time it was the white fox that appeared with the wild deer.

It's just that for some reason, its body is vaguely curled up in the snow, and its body is smaller than the last time it was seen, the original clean hair, the gray mess, and the belly is still bleeding.

"Tweet ......"

The white fox seemed to recognize her, and the originally vigilant beast eyes seemed to calm down suddenly, raised its head a little, and fell back to the snow, looking at her weakly.

"Tweet ......"

The weak voice seemed to be squeezed out of its throat, and the blood loss was so great that it had no strength to make any other superfluous movements.

Hua Shi knew the spirituality of this white fox, and after recognizing that it was the fox he had seen last time, the vigilance in his heart faded a little, and he walked towards it.

The white fox's eyes kept staring at her, and when he saw her approaching, he didn't make any other movements, and lay quietly in place without moving.

Hanatoki reached out to wipe the snow off its fur before examining the wound on its stomach.

The hair in that place was scratched bald by something, and if you looked closely at the wound that was spilling blood, it seemed to have been scratched by some sharp claws, and there were obvious scratches on it.

Hua Shi smoothed the hair on its head, calmed its somewhat unstable emotions, and pinched the spring in his palm.

Before releasing the water from the spring, Hanatoki raised his head again and looked around the woods carefully.

She hesitated for a moment, but kept an extra eye on it.

Releasing the spring water in the deep mountains, she was a little afraid that it would attract other beasts......

Especially when I saw the wound on the white fox's body, it was obviously scratched by other beasts, and it fled here in its dying, and I don't know if there are other beasts nearby.

Coupled with the peculiarity of the spring itself, it is easy to attract some wild beasts.

If she was not careful, she really attracted some poisonous snakes and beasts, and she couldn't guarantee that nothing would happen......

She thought for a moment, and then carefully looked at the wounds on the white fox's body elsewhere.

In addition to several hideous wounds on its stomach, it was also bitten on one of its hind legs, which was twisted in shape, apparently broken bones......

"Chirp...! Tweeted!! ”

The treetops shook, and the sound of wind and snow whistled from not far away.

The white fox lying on the ground suddenly let out an excited cry as if sensing some danger.

Hua Shi keenly sensed that something was wrong, and originally wanted to take a closer look before carefully moving the fox to a safe place.

But these vigilant and sharp cries of the white fox immediately made her realize that it was very likely that she was fighting with the white fox, and that other beasts were coming.

Animals are more than ten times more sensitive than humans.

Hua Shi didn't think about it, stretched out his hands, and immediately took the somewhat bulky white fox into his arms, and ran in the direction of the mountain with both hands.

She can guarantee that this is the fastest run in her life, and she has used all the strength to feed, and she has not looked back to run down the mountain......

The adult size of the white fox is about the same size as the dog, or even thinner than the dog's size.

The white fox is almost like this, but the white hair on its body is very fluffy, and in terms of appearance, people look at it and unconsciously think that its body is very strong.

Actually, it's okay, but the weight is really a lot heavier, and I don't know where I got the strength to spend it, so I carried it and ran out of the mountain.

She didn't dare to look back once, for fear that some beast would follow behind her, the sound of the wind whistling past her ears, and her heavy breathing made her throat like a blower, making a hehehe gasping sound.

"Click, click—"

The snow that had accumulated under his feet made a crisp sound when he was crushed by his feet.

It wasn't until I saw the grove at the foot of the mountain that Hanatoki's running footsteps slowly stopped.

"Huhuhu......"

The sound of heavy and rough breathing seemed to be piercing from the chest into the eardrum.

She hadn't exercised for a long time, she ran all the way, her feet were hot and soft, and the sequelae of strenuous exercise came up all at once.

She just took two breaths, and the wet, sticky, and hot touch from the palms of her hands let her know that she couldn't delay any longer.

The blood that flowed from the wound on the white fox's stomach was on her hands......

The violent shaking of this road estimated that the white fox she was holding was enough to choke, and the wound was vaguely tearing, and the blood smeared her hand.

Although he ran back to the foot of the mountain, Hua Shi did not dare to go in the direction of the village easily.

Today, the snow has stopped a lot, and there are faint dark clouds dissipating, and the sky is clear and sunny.

In such good weather, villagers who have been stuffy at home and trapped for several days may come out to take a slip of the wind.

She went out with the white fox at this time, maybe she would run into the people in the village, and be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years.

"Tweet, tweet......"

The white fox in his arms, blinking his gray and gray fox eyes, looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, and looked at the flower again in a daze.

Hua Shi hesitated for a moment, thinking of the remote secret base in the forest that Hua met before.

Since there is no way to bring it back, I can only find a remote place, heal its wounds, and then let it go back to the mountains on its own.

After thinking about it, he hugged the fox and walked into the narrow and dense grove next to him.

Her memory is not bad, she remembers the specific location of the ruined temple, and after walking for a while, her hands were so sore that she couldn't hold on anymore, and finally saw the dilapidated building.

The desolate and dilapidated old temple, after being covered with a layer of snow, was even more desolate, and there was no one around, and it was so silent that there was no sound at all.

When he spent the time, he placed the fox in a neat corner of the ruined temple, and then let go of his hand and let it lie in that corner.

"Tweet ......"

The white fox, who had tossed all the way, was already injured, the wound was still bleeding, and his breath was unstable, which made him even weaker.

After being put on the ground, he didn't even have the strength to swing his head.

"Tweet ......"

The weakened white fox, with a faint cry coming out of his throat, tries to arouse Hanatoki's idea.

Hua Shi patted his hands stained with fox blood, stood under the eaves of the big hole, and washed his hands with spring water.

The white fox lying in the corner seemed to smell the smell of the spring water at once, and his eyes, which were originally listless and sloppy, widened a little, and tried to raise his head and look in the direction of the flower.

"Tweet ......"

It tries to use its weak voice to attract the attention of the flowers.

Hua Shi only washed his hands cursorely, then came back to his senses and walked in the direction of the white fox.

"Come, I'll give you some water."

The white fox seemed to have some eager beast eyes, and Hua Shi whispered to it.

"Chirp ......!"

The white fox seemed to understand what she meant, and the cries in response to her were a little louder.

Hanatoki stood in place, looked left and right, and his eyes fell in the direction of the weeds that were spreading and growing in the corner of the wall, and he turned another corner and walked towards the place.

Reaching out and plucking two large green leaves, he skillfully folded them into the shape of a funnel, put the spring water in the spring, and walked back in the direction of the white fox.

"Drink."

At the same time as Hua Shi's words fell, the white fox stretched out his head, his eyes were bright, and he couldn't wait to drink.

The water contained in the two leaves was quickly swallowed by it in twos and threes.

Seeing that it was almost finished, Hua Shi took the leaves back, and his eyes fell on the wound in his stomach.

The wound that was still gurgling with blood seemed to be just a blink of an eye, and the wound suddenly froze, although it still looked hideous, but the wounds in several places on the stomach had no longer oozes blood.

This is the second time that Hua Shi has seen this magical scene, but he has let a trace of surprise and surprise in his heart.

Amazed at the peculiarity of this spring, the wound was almost completely healed after just a few sips......

"Tweet ......"

The white fox seemed to have regained a lot of energy, propped its front paws on the ground, poked its head up, and barked twice at the flower.

Hua Shi touched the hair on its body, fed it a few sips of spring water, and witnessed the bloody wound, under his own eyelids, little by little.

Until there was no other effect after drinking it again, although the injuries on the white fox's body did not fully recover, the wounds on the belly and the wounds on the hind legs were originally blurred flesh and blood, and they recovered to the extent of a long reunion.

"Tweet ......"

Although the wound recovered a lot, the white fox tried to stand up with its front paws, but it tried several times without success, and its broken hind legs did not fully recover.

It's obviously a bit difficult to stand up all at once.

"Tweet ......"

After several more attempts, the white fox could not get back on its feet, it turned its head, looked at its injured leg, blinked its faint beast eyes, and stared at it for a long time before giving up the struggle.

I also saw what it meant when I spent it.

Obviously, no matter how miraculous the spring water is, it can't restore a scarred animal to its full glory all at once.

Last time the black cat was like this, and this time the white fox is no different......

However, it doesn't take many days to raise it, it is estimated that it will be two or three days at most, and it will be completely fine.

Even so, it's quite against the sky......

"You stay here for two days, and then go back when all your injuries are healed." Hua Shi said to the white fox.

"Tweet ......"

The white fox lay on the snow, its tail hanging behind it wagging like sides, as if in response to her words.

"Chirp tweet、... Tweet ......"

The white fox barked at her several times, not knowing what she wanted to express.

I tilted my head and ear when I spent it, and I listened very carefully.

It's a pity that I didn't understand it at all......

Hua Shi shook his head at it, "Forget it, I don't understand what you want to say, next time you pay attention to yourself." ”

"Chirp......"

The white fox was a little excited, and after hearing the words of the flower, he was completely wilted.

It lowered its ghostly fox eyes and was angry......

It was sneak attacked!! The wolves attacked him in order to occupy his territory! And brought a pack of wolves to fight it!

That's why it's defeated and wounded! Damn it......

It's a pity that it just said so much, and this human doesn't understand it at all!

It's called a grievance in its heart!

Although Hua Shi couldn't understand a lot of what it said, and the slightly more complicated meaning it wanted to express, he could roughly guess something from their expressions after spending so much time with the black cats.

The white fox should have clashed with other beasts in Lin Haishan, was seriously injured, and fled in defeat.

After all, most of the laws in the mountains are the law of the jungle...... Belch... Although the appearance of the white fox and the wild deer last time was very abrupt, it is generally not wrong to do so.

She didn't forget the purpose of entering the mountain this time, although she couldn't understand the fox's words, but the white fox could understand her words.

"Have you ever seen Xiao Hei in the mountains these days...... It's the big black cat. ”

Hua Shi crouched beside it and asked aloud.

"Tweet ......?"

Hearing her question, the white fox blinked blankly and replied with a short breath.

Its reaction, undoubtedly, has never been seen......
