Chapter 336 Bald Fox
It was the first time that Si Ran saw an Arctic fox in the molting period.
I had only seen it in documentaries before, but the photographers in the documentaries were very skilled. Even the Arctic fox in the molting period looked very cute. But this Arctic fox was different.
Its skin is black with white spots in some places. It would be fine if it was covered with hair, but the problem is that this little Arctic fox is in the molting period, commonly known as the awkward period.
Its hair is similar to Mei Chaofeng in the old TV series, with sparse hair on its nose and a bump on its butt.
It looks so ugly and cute, especially the little guy's voice sounds like a little girl's voice in Si Ran's ears, like the little and old Tianshan Tonglao is talking to him.
For a moment, Si Ran did not bend down to touch the little fox.
The little fox was still trying hard to show his belly and wagging his tail like a dog.
Or the seagull next to him couldn't stand it anymore: "Qiuqiu, can you please stop swaying like a maggot? You've scared Ranran."
Before the little fox could refute, the seagull gave it a heart-wrenching blow: "Do you know that you look very ugly like this? I think you shouldn't be called Qiuqiu, you should be called Chouchou."
"Who's ugly?" The little fox rolled over and bared its teeth at the seagull that called it mean. "You stupid bird, do you think you're beautiful? I'm a fox. I'm ugly now, but I'll be beautiful later. Do you know how many people want to own us? People all over the world want our fur."
"Idiot!" Seagull couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Is it something to be proud of that humans want your fur? Look, your parents were skinned and ripped apart by humans because they believed in humans. Now that your parents are gone, you can't even catch a rabbit. If Ranran wasn't here, you would have died here today."
The seagull scolded the little fox, but actually there was a tone of disappointment in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Si Ran looked at the little fox's body. The little fox in front of him looked only a few months old, and both its parents were dead?
Si Ran squatted down and looked at the little fox: "Your name is Qiuqiu? Were your parents hunted down because of humans?"
When Qiuqiu heard Si Ran's tone, he instantly felt aggrieved. He nodded, as if he was complaining to an adult: "Yeah! Those humans are so mean. A few days ago, they kidnapped my parents and my brothers and sisters. I was out of our territory because I was too playful, so I luckily escaped."
"But my parents didn't have such good luck. Those people said they would send them to a very far place and then kill them and peel off their hair."
"My territory isn't originally here, so I plunged into the snow chasing the land. Woohoo, I'm here to find my parents. They must still be alive. I want to save them!"
Hearing this, Si Ran felt a little suspicious and asked quickly, "Did you see these people take your parents away?"
The little fox nodded. "I saw them when I came back. There were about a dozen of them. I can't count them exactly. I only know numbers within ten."
Si Ran: "Then you can count how many tens there are in ten units."
The little fox seemed unable to understand. He looked at Si Ran aggrievedly, blinking his icy blue eyes: "Ran Ran, I can't do this. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Si Ran: "..."
The little guy is like this, how can she blame a fox for not knowing math?
"No, it's just that I suspect the people who took your parents away are the same group we're looking for. How about this, first take a look and see if one of them looks like this."
After Si Ran finished speaking, he took out Wessen's photo.
Unexpectedly, when Qiuqiu saw this photo, his eyes widened immediately.
"It's him, it's him, it's this devil who kidnapped my parents and my brothers and sisters!"
Si Ran continued to ask, "You said you followed the scent your parents left behind and tracked it all the way here?"
The little fox nodded. "We foxes have a very keen sense of smell. Even in a heavy snowstorm, I can still smell the scent left on the snow. I am even more familiar with the scent of my own kind. My parents marked them for me, so I am sure they are all fine now."
Si Ran was a little confused: "How did you know for sure?"
The little fox chuckled and said, "They go to the toilet in the snow, and I came here because of the stench!"
After saying that, the little fox ran to a piece of white snow with a yellow urine stain on it.
Si Ran: "..."
But the little fox's words suddenly made Si Ran enlightened.
It looked at the little fox and said, "Qiuqiu, are you willing to cooperate with us?"
"cooperate?"
"Yes, if you help me find the whereabouts of these people, I will help you rescue your parents, how about that?"
"Okay, okay!" The little fox thought this was a great opportunity to make a lot of money. It stood up instantly and hugged Si Ran's thighs. It rubbed its dark face on Si Ran's pants and said, "Ran Ran, you are so kind. Don't worry, I will definitely repay you after I find my parents."
"I will be yours from now on. If you ever want to return to your country, take me with you."
Seagull ruthlessly dismantled the conversation from the sidelines, saying, "What are you talking about repaying? It's obvious that you're the one rushing to be Ranran's fox."
Qiuqiu: "If you ask me, you are envious, jealous and hateful!"
Seagull rolled his eyes at Qiuqiu and said, "I don't want to talk to you, you stupid fox!"
"Dead bird!"
"You are the dead bird, the dead fox!"
"You were the one who scolded me first, you dead bird!"
"Bald Fox!"
“Spicy roasted bird!”
Everyone heard a fox and a seagull cursing at each other for three minutes.
——
With the help of the fox, the group finally had a direction.
"Ranran, the scent of my mom and dad is getting closer, they must be nearby!"
Si Ran held the ball in his arms and rubbed the little fox's head gently after hearing its words.
Si Ran initially thought that Qiuqiu was just shedding its fur normally, but after holding Qiuqiu in her arms, she suddenly remembered that this was not the molting period for Arctic foxes. Even if it was the molting period for Arctic foxes, Qiuqiu's hair would not have fallen off so dramatically.
Si Ran guessed that Qiuqiu's condition was caused by some genetic disease.
In addition, the ball has its own name. I think it was given this name because it was observed by a scientific expedition team from some country in the Arctic.
So Si Ran further confirmed her guess. When she saw Qiuqiu shivering from the cold on the road, she felt a little sad about how Qiuqiu could live in this snowy and icy place.
So on the way, Si Ran wrapped Qiuqiu in a towel, and Qiuqiu felt much better.
"Ranran, thank you. You are such a good person. Besides my parents and my brothers and sisters, you are the first person who has been so kind to me."
Qiuqiu finished speaking and tilted his head. "I've been different from other foxes since I was little. Other foxes are fully furred, but I'm half furred. Other foxes are not afraid of the cold, but I'm extremely afraid of it. So my family members take turns covering me with their big tails every day to prevent me from freezing to death."
"I thought I would never find my parents alive, but I didn't expect that in addition to my parents' big tails, there was also a big human scarf to keep me warm."
"So I think what Seagull said is wrong. Not all humans are bad. Ranran is the good one~"
