The white fox looked at Hua Shi with a questioning look, licked its lips, and vaguely revealed its sharp fangs. Its dark yellow fox eyes were full of innocence as it stared at her without blinking.

After Hua Shi finished swallowing the meat in his mouth, he said, "How come you eat so fast? I just took two bites."

“Wuwuwu…”

The white fox let out a weak whimpering sound, seeming a little aggrieved.

That little bit of food is not enough to fill its teeth. It can eat five chickens in one meal!

Hua Shi obviously understood what it meant.

I was careless and underestimated its appetite. A full-grown fox and half a roasted chicken clearly couldn't fill its stomach...

Just a few minutes after giving him half a chicken, he ate it till there was not a bone left...

"Let me give you some more. Let me tell you, this is all I have. Once you finish it, there will be no more."

Hua Shi couldn't bear its eager gaze and tore off another small piece for it.

“Click, click…”

There were a few sounds of chicken bones being gnawed, and the chicken piece that had just been taken was eaten by it until not even a residue was left.

When Hua Shi heard the chewing sound stop, he turned around silently and focused on eating the remaining meat in his hand, bite by bite.

Even with her back turned, the feeling of being pricked at the back still followed her like a shadow.

There's no point in looking, she's hungry too...

Facing the white fox's scorching gaze and the occasional whining sounds, Hua Shi finally managed to devour the roasted chicken in his hand.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!!…”

When she saw Hua Shi finally turned around to look at her, the white fox, who was still a little depressed, suddenly became bright-eyed and looked at her excitedly.

Hua Shi patted its head.

The white fox suddenly grabbed her sleeve and gestured to her with its eyes and body movements to look in the side.

Hua Shi followed its intention and her eyes fell on the two remaining pheasants that were tied up and placed aside by her.

“…”

The white fox was obviously not full. The little bit of chicken went into its stomach, but it didn't reach its heart. It grabbed her sleeve and had already set its sights on the other two chickens she had tied up next to it.

Meeting the white fox's expectant and excited gaze, Hua Shi sternly refused, "No, I caught it with great difficulty. You've already eaten it. Even if you're not full, you won't starve. Tomorrow, when your injuries and spirits have recovered a little, you can go back to the mountains and find food for yourself."

So, stop staring at my little livelihood...

Looking at its smooth fur and agile body, you can tell that it is a good hunter in the mountains and forests, and it must have no worries about food.

To be able to raise himself so strong in the mountains, he is definitely not an ordinary person...

So there is no psychological pressure to refuse when spending time.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp… woooo…”

Looking at its confused eyes, it was obvious that it only understood half of what she said. It understood most of it, but it seemed not to understand it completely.

"Okay, I'll give you some more spring water, and then I'll go home. You can sleep here for one night, and go back to the mountains tomorrow when you're better."

As Hua Shi said this, she used leaves to fill a handful of food for the dog, and fed it several mouthfuls under its reluctant and resentful look.

The white fox was obviously very unhappy because it didn't get the pheasant to eat, but when Hua Shi fed it spring water, it would still drink it obediently, gulping it down.

After drinking so much spring water, the white fox's spirits recovered visibly. The wounds on its furry belly seemed to have begun to scab and heal. The wounds were pink, like new flesh growing from the inside.

When Hua Shi saw its tail wagging behind it, he knew that it was in good spirits and felt a little more at ease.

"I'm leaving now. Bye."

Hua Shi stood up, picked up the bamboo basket on the ground and the pheasant tied beside it, freed one hand, waved to the white fox, and said goodbye to it.

The white fox's eyes kept following the direction she left, as if it was looking forward to it, until the human figure could no longer be seen, and the tail shaking behind it slowly drooped down.

“Woo…”

After that person left, the surroundings suddenly became quiet again.

It leaned against the corner of the wall and lay there for a while, its eyes fixed on the fire pit not far from it, staring at the flames.

The night gradually darkened, and the faint light of the fire, in the darkness, made its low beast eyes emit a faint glow...

Before Hua Shi left, he was afraid that the white fox would be frozen to death in the snow and ice at night, so he dug a small pit not far from it and added a lot of burning firewood and charcoal into it.

Even if the fire went out in the first half of the night, the remaining warmth was enough to sustain it until dawn and prevent it from freezing to death.

But obviously, she was a little too worried. After all, the layers of fluffy hair on the white fox's body were enough to protect it from the cold wind and snow.

It can rely on its hair to preserve its body temperature, so it is impossible for it to freeze to death...

“Woo…”

In the silent night, there was no other sound except my own cries.

Hua Shi didn't know that shortly after she left, the white fox, having regained a lot of strength and spirit from drinking a lot of spring water, but still hungry, whimpered a few times in the night, then suddenly stood up and walked out of the dilapidated temple...

Following the familiar mountain path, a snow-white figure shuttled through the forest, heading towards the dense layers of forest. It was so fast that it disappeared without a trace in a short while...
