Hearing Mingxuan's cry of surprise, Xin Chen and Yi Jing also ran out, only to see that Xingyun was still in that happy appearance, holding the long sword on his shoulder, and there was a cloth bag hanging on the other end of the sword, and there was something twisting in the cloth bag.

"Uncle Shi, did you catch it?" Ming Xuan's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw the squirming cloth bag behind him.

"That's nature, if I go out, how can I go back empty-handed!, otherwise I won't have the face to come back!" Xingyun said with a smile, letting him, a capable master, make a little unbearable.

"Dao Chief, what is it?" Yi Jing pointed to the cloth bag behind her, her face wary.

"Oh, this is the one who caused the villagers to leave their homes!" Xingyun casually threw the cloth bag to the ground, and the contents seemed to feel pain, squeaking and squeaking.

"Uncle Shi, what the hell is this? Ming Xuan didn't rush to untie the cloth bag, but turned around and asked Xingyun, the speed of this thing is so fast, it is estimated that the strength is definitely not weak, it is better to be cautious.

"It's called a fox, and it should be classified as one of the mice, but it's a strange beast, much bigger than a mouse, and it runs like a fly, and it took me a lot of effort to catch it. "Xingyun talks about it, and it seems that he is very familiar with it.

"I've never heard of it. This is the first time Ming Xuan has heard of it, Xin Chen and Yi Jing are also shaking their heads, obviously not knowing.

"You can open it and take a look, its limbs are tied up by me, and it can't run!" Xingyun found a chair to sit down at random, he tossed all night, and was indeed a little tired.

Ming Xuan cautiously opened the cloth bag, only to see a ball of white fur revealing its original appearance, a round head, a few long and thick whiskers under the flat nose, two front teeth were white and translucent exposed, a pair of small eyes looked at everyone slowly, looking a little frightened, the body was bulging, like a fur ball, and there was a short tail at the back of the buttocks, a very strange appearance, everyone was very curious, obviously they had never seen it, and the appearance of Han made everyone feel that it was not dangerous.

"The fox belongs to the type of rats, why do I think I can't get on the edge at all?" Ming Xuan said suspiciously, except for those long beards and front teeth, this guy has nothing to do with mice.

"It's said that it's a strange beast, it naturally changes a lot, except for the different appearance, the other living habits are almost the same, phobic of sound and light and eats a lot, as long as it can eat, it loves to eat, otherwise it will grow so fat!" Xingyun said nonchalantly.

"Dao Chief, are you sure that it stole everything that was lost in the village?" the little guy looked quite pitiful, and really didn't look like a thief who did all kinds of evil.

"Don't look at it pitifully, in fact, you have been deceived by it! This little thing is not only fast, but also has the ability to burrow quickly, and has the ability to burrow into the ground quickly, I chased it to the small hill and let it get away from the ground, if I hadn't listened to the argument and crawled at its exit for a long time in advance, I waited for it to come out and succeed in a sneak attack!" Thinking of the process of capturing it, Xingyun became very angry, and let him, a capable master, jump up and down with it, and play sneak attacks to succeed, which is indeed very shameless.

"Well, with its speed, and the ability to burrow, it's really hard to spot, and it's easy to avoid the dog's sight. Xu Xinchen carefully analyzed.

"But why did it only steal Xiaoyang Village? Aren't there other villages here?" Yi Jing was still puzzled.

"That's because it's timid by nature, and because it's used to stealing here, so it won't change places lightly, but if we don't take care of this business, when all the food we can eat here is gone, I guarantee that other villages will start to suffer too!" Xingyun is well-informed, and he can easily answer these questions.

"That's not right, although the fox can eat it, but there is so much food in the village, it can't eat so much!" Xu Xinchen was very careful, and still found something that couldn't be explained.

"I don't know about this, I can only say that what I found last night was this little thing!" Xingyun couldn't explain this, so he didn't bother to say it.

"Could there be other foxes?" Ming Xuan said with some hesitation, if there really is, then it will be troublesome, rats are timid by nature, if they find out that their companions are missing, they will definitely feel uneasy, and even move their nests, when the time comes, it will be troublesome to clean them up, and after escaping to other places, there will only be more people affected.

"That's not true, foxes are different from other rats, they all live alone, and they are very territorial, there will be no other foxes here!" Xingyun said with certainty.

"It probably doesn't belong here, otherwise the village wouldn't have waited until now. Xu Xinchen continued to analyze.

"The fox generally lives in the deep mountains, and it will not set foot in human territory, and it is estimated that it snowed heavily here last winter, and it may not be able to find food to come here. Xingyun nodded and said, if all the foxes come out of the mountain to the human realm, then they will really suffer.

"Dao Chief, you are so powerful, how do you know so clearly!" Yi Jing looked at Xingyun with some admiration, as if he understood everything.

"Hehe, little girl, I'm a lot older, so I naturally know more than you, not to mention that this guy has it in our Qingyang Mountain, I naturally know it very well!"

"I know why it stole so much food!" Ming Xuan, who had been observing the fox for a long time, suddenly said.

"Oh, let's talk about it!" everyone immediately became interested.

"The reason why it steals so much is not only because it wants to eat, but because it already has cubs!" Ming Xuan observed for a long time, and found that the fox had a bulging belly, and had been protecting its limbs together, and there were many similarities with other beasts when they were pregnant in some of their physical characteristics.

"Oh, it does seem like I'm pregnant. Xingyun also came over curiously and looked at it, affirming Mingxuan's inference.

"Shortly after winter, there is a lack of food, it is impossible for it to become so fat, and it is also hoarding food so frantically, apparently for the supply after giving birth. Ming Xuan continued, dispelling the doubts in Xin Chen and Yi Jing's eyes.

"But it's almost stealing all the food in a village, isn't that enough!" Yi Jing thought incredible.

"What mother would think that the food prepared for her children would be sufficient?" Xingyun said with emotion, and immediately convinced everyone.

"That's the case, and that's understandable. Yi Jing's tone gradually softened, she was originally very annoyed that the fox was stealing the food that the people had worked so hard to get, but when she heard that it was also for her cubs to have enough food, she suddenly burst out of maternal love, but felt that it was very pitiful.

"Dao Chief, what are you going to do with it?" Xu Xinchen turned around and asked Xingyun.

"I really haven't thought about it!" Xingyun obviously hadn't thought about it yet.

"Brother Xuan, what are you going to do?" Yi Jing immediately asked Ming Xuan again.

"It is an unwritten rule among the hunters of the mountains that they will not catch or kill pregnant beasts. Ming Xuan's words obviously showed his attitude.

"Then what if it is released, what if it comes back to endanger the people?" Xu Xinchen asked a more realistic question.

"But it's also for its own children, it's a last resort!" At this time, Yi Jing completely stood on the side of the fox.

"But the people of Xiaoyang Village have to leave their homes because of it, and wouldn't it be even more dangerous if it gave birth to cubs!"

"Yes...... But ......" Yi Jing couldn't refute it, from the overall situation, this fox should not appear here.

"Don't fight, everyone! I have a solution. Xingyun, who was silent on the side, said suddenly.

"Uncle Shi, what's a good way. Ming Xuan was obviously also entangled.

"Fox Ru is smart by nature, but he is extremely timid, he was caught by us this time, and he will definitely not dare to appear here again!" Xingyun said slowly.

"But will it be dangerous to go to other villages?" Xu Xinchen then asked.

"This is also easy to do, the fox is psychic, we just warn it a few words, it should be able to understand, even if we don't say it, it is estimated that it will not dare to come to the human realm again!" Xingyun continued.

"That's a good idea! I'll tell you!" Mingxuan often dealt with Doudou and Dark Clouds, and had lived in the forest for a long time, so he had experience in this area.

"Kitsune, I'm telling you what I'm saying now, so if you can understand it, just nod. Ming Xuan caressed its fur and said softly, easing the fear in its heart.

Mingxuan's trick really worked, and the fox actually nodded! The others who watched it were amazed.

"We're going to let you go now, but you can't come to the village to steal anymore! you've stolen enough for you and your cubs, and when you're done giving birth to cubs, you're going to go back to the mountains, do you know?"

The fox nodded again, changed the pitying look in his eyes just now, and began to shine again! Just like a dying man who saw the hope of life! Ming Xuan was sure that it really understood.

In this case, Ming Xuan no longer hesitated, and reached out to untie the rope tied to it, such a timid fox did not choose to run away immediately, but rubbed Ming Xuan's hand with his body to show gratitude, and then came to Yi Jing and rubbed her leg, obviously she pleaded just now, it also understood, but it then stayed away from Xingyun and Xin Chen, because one of them caught it back, and the other wanted to end it just now, for this, both of them expressed their helplessness.

After looking back at everyone, the fox turned around and left, quickly disappearing from everyone's field of vision, and the "haunted" incident in the village finally came to an end.
