Ziheng's residence is on a high mountain. It is usually deserted and even wild animals rarely appear.
He usually likes quietness, so he doesn't feel lonely.
He also built the bamboo house and yard himself. Although the area is not very large, it looks very elegant and unique, and is completely enough for one person and one fox to live in.
As soon as he got home, he made a soft nest for the little fox and placed it in the outer room.
However... the little fox is obviously a fox, but usually acts like a cat. It sleeps anywhere except its own nest. It especially likes to run to his bed in the middle of the night, and even says that "only by looking at more handsome men can you turn into a beautiful woman."
Ziheng would throw it away at first, but after doing it many times he got too lazy to do it and gradually got used to sleeping together.
On weekdays, Ziheng writes, reads, and paints, while the little fox lies beside him and sleeps soundly. Before coming, he did some cleaning, but in the end, he just wiped the table at most every day.
Ziheng didn't care. He was still a little fox after all, and it was the time when he loved playing, eating and sleeping.
Speaking of the issue of "eating", since he didn't know anything about cooking, as soon as he brought the little fox back, he directly taught it the art of fasting, so that it wouldn't have to eat and save trouble!
However... this is really hard for the greedy little fox. Although it won't feel hungry during fasting, it still feels greedy! Every day, it even dreams about eating meat!
It's okay when it's asleep, but it's really uncomfortable when it's awake, so it sleeps from morning to night, because as soon as it wakes up it craves meat!
It was greedy for several days, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and wandered around in the mountains and forests anxiously, trying to catch some wild rabbits and pheasants to eat.
But it wandered back and forth in the forest several times and didn't even see the shadow of any wild beast, and its mentality collapsed on the spot.
It was about to go back dejectedly, but suddenly it had an unexpected surprise.
There were some mushrooms growing scattered under the trees not far away. Although mushrooms are not as delicious as meat, when there is nothing else to eat, any food will be delicious.
It rushed over hurriedly and started to eat the mushrooms under the tree in big mouthfuls. At first, it didn't think there was anything wrong, just that the raw mushrooms were a bit unpalatable, but the more it ate, the more it felt something was wrong.
Why am I so dizzy?
It was wondering in its heart.
As a result, he fell to the ground with a "thump" the next second, and all the scenes in front of him became blurred, as if there were little people dancing.
Of course, it knew it was in a terrible state, but... it simply couldn't move! It felt so weak all over!
It felt like it was dying, and couldn't help but shout loudly: "Help! Help! Brother Ziheng, save me!"
Ziheng, who was painting in the bamboo house, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat and his hand holding the pen trembled violently.
This bad feeling made him frown. He gently put down the paintbrush and stood up, then turned around and looked around for the pink and white fox.
But he looked around carefully and couldn't find it, and he became more and more panicked, so he had to raise his hand and make hand gestures, using his spiritual power to find it.
After sensing its location, he quickly used the Divine Movement Technique to teleport over there.
As soon as he arrived at the place, he saw his little fox lying on the ground dying. He was so scared that he almost fainted and hurried forward to check the situation.
He reached out his hand and patted the little fox a few times, calling softly, "Little fox? Little fox?"
"Woo~ Isn't that a little man dancing? How come there is such a big one suddenly?" The little fox opened his eyes with difficulty and regarded Ziheng in front of him as an illusion.
After hearing what it said, Ziheng seemed to realize something and quickly looked up at the mushrooms under the tree next to him.
Sure enough, the mushrooms had been eaten into pieces.
This silly fox...why is he chewing mushrooms for no reason?
Of course, it doesn’t mean you can’t eat mushrooms, but you can’t eat poisonous mushrooms! !
Can you eat poisonous mushrooms without hallucinating? Can you eat poisonous mushrooms without having little people dancing before your eyes?
He couldn't help but sigh as he thought about it, but he still cast a spell on it seriously. It's better to detoxify it first. If he delays any longer, his life will be in danger.
When the little fox woke up again, he was already lying on the soft bed.
Before it could think about what was going on, a familiar voice came from the side, "Awake?"
It let out an "Ah" in a daze, then turned its head to look at the source of the sound.
Ziheng was sitting on a stool not far away, holding a thick book in his hand and reading it intently, without even paying it a glance.
The little fox slowly got up from the bed, shook his body and head vigorously, then looked at him puzzledly and asked, "I...what's wrong with me?"
Ziheng gently threw the book on the table next to him, sighed deeply, and replied unhappily, "He fainted from mushroom poisoning."
"Huh???" The little fox looked incredulous and asked in disbelief, "Mushrooms can be poisonous?"
"Why can't mushrooms be poisonous?" Ziheng was almost laughing when he heard this, but he still asked patiently, "You've already learned the art of fasting, so why do you still go out into the mountains and forests to chew on mushrooms?"
The little fox felt a little guilty when asked this question, and answered haltingly, "I... I..."
Seeing that it couldn't explain it for a long time, Ziheng couldn't help but feel anxious, "What?"
"I'm greedy!" The little fox thought seriously for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good reason. In the end, he just gave up and answered truthfully.
Ziheng looked incredulous when he heard this, as if he didn't understand why it was so greedy.
The little fox pounced back onto the bed, rolled over to expose his belly, and began to flutter back and forth. "Fasting can only keep me from being hungry, but it can't stop me from being greedy!!"
"I'm a carnivore! I want to eat meat! If I can't eat meat anymore, I'm really going to go crazy!! When I'm hungry, I'll eat anything. If I get really angry, I'll even eat you!"
Seeing this, Ziheng helplessly raised his hand to his forehead. If he wasn't hungry, why did he want to eat? Was the desire for food so hard to suppress? What was it that made him so obsessed?
He was really wondering now, are all foxes so willful? Or is it just his fox?
But he forgot one thing: normal people don’t raise foxes!
Seeing that he hadn't said anything, the little fox didn't calm down but instead made even more noise, "I want meat! I want meat! I want meat!!"
"It's really troublesome." Ziheng raised his hand to rub his throbbing temple and criticized in a bad mood.
But in the end, he threw down four ambiguous words.
"I see."
