Chapter 5 Chapter 5 She Runs and He Chases
The human world——
When Hu Miaomiao returned from the veterinarian, she felt a chill down her spine, as if something was staring at her.
There were many strange monsters in the mountains. Hu Miaomiao told the veterinarian about this, but the veterinarian didn't take it seriously. He said that instead of worrying about the monsters, it would be better to worry about whether the dog had rabies.
Their village hired a particularly powerful demon catcher. No matter what kind of demon it was, as long as the demon catcher caught any signs of it, he would send the demon to salvation in minutes.
Hu Miaomiao was so frightened that she didn't dare to stay any longer. Even if she didn't reveal her demonic aura and the other party couldn't recognize her as a demon, who knew if the demon catcher had other means to catch her?
On the way back to the mountain, the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. She was afraid that something would follow her home, so she deliberately circled around on the way.
rustle--
The faint sound coming from the bushes on the left did not escape the fox's ears. She became nervous, her heart pounding as the thing approached, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead, rooted in the soil, unable to move at all.
A drop of sweat slid down his forehead, and his beautiful fox eyes were fixed on the dense bushes.
Brush la la——
The thing hidden in the darkness was exposed to the sunlight. It was a sturdy wolf with a strong posture, well-developed and powerful muscles in its limbs, fluffy fur, triangular ears standing up high, and narrow wolf pupils that were cold and sharp.
The leader who should have been standing on the top of the mountain and looking down on the entire wolf clan, was just standing in the bushes full of dead leaves, with a stern wolf face full of resentment, looking up and down at the fragile human. Seeing that she looked frightened, the corners of his lips twitched, silently mocking the human's cowardice.
You don't go home for dinner on time. Are you enjoying yourself in the village and don't want to leave?
Thanks to his sensitive nose, he was able to find her by following the smell. Let's see how she explains it!
But the next second, she threw herself on him with a panicked look on her face, wrapped her slender arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.
"Good dog! Something's following me."
She seemed to have found her backbone. She ignored the wolf's cold face and rubbed his ears with her cheek, chattering and complaining: "There is a monster in the mountain! It's targeting me. Let's move. This mountain is not safe."
She couldn't help but think about it after being peeped at again and again.
When she was going down the mountain, she thought it was the gaze of a wild pheasant demon. On the way back, it was obviously impossible for her to think that it was a good dog watching her.
A good dog would never look at her in the way that made Fox uneasy.
So, is it a new wild monster?
Or are they the Fox Clan coming looking for us?
According to Ye Shanji, those new wild monsters can transform into human form, so they must be very powerful. If she meets those monsters, she will only die.
Either possibility made her panic and uneasy. Only by hugging Jun Zechen's furry neck could she find a little sense of security.
Jun Zechen heard her say in a trembling voice: "Let's go, leave here and live somewhere else, okay?"
Jun Zechen's unfathomable wolf face changed slightly, and his cold gaze swept behind her vaguely.
In the woods, the shadows of the trees were fluttering. He patted her shoulder with his paw, paused after patting twice, stared at the two mud marks on her shoulder, his brain froze for two seconds, and rubbed them guiltily with the back of his furry paw. As a result, the more he rubbed, the dirtier it became.
Hu Miaomiao, who was about to cry, also noticed the dog's little move. She looked sideways and saw two big plum blossom marks on her shoulders...
The fox and the wolf looked at each other.
Jun Zechen calmed down instead, calmly retracted his claws, and also pressed a plum blossom mark on her face.
Hu Miaomiao: “…”
At this moment, she put aside her fear and pinched the "dog's" ears.
"Bad dog! Do my laundry!"
The dog looked stubborn and Hu Miaomiao laughed in anger, but she didn't blame him too much. After all, he was just a dog, not a monster, so it was normal for him to do anything.
She didn't take the matter of the clothes to heart. It was already late when she returned home. She was in a tense state and secretly packed her luggage. She thought that the person in the dark didn't attack her immediately, and was probably waiting for the opportunity and would not attack her for the time being.
Her every move might be under the other party's eyes, so she needs to plan her escape carefully. Before that, how should she explain it to the dog?
Although good dogs usually look smart, Hu Miaomiao doesn't think that a dog without intelligence can understand what she does.
That night, Hu Miaomiao had something on her mind and hardly slept well. She even had a vague dream.
In the dream, the dog stood on the edge of a cliff, looked back at her, and said something human: "If you dare to move, I will die in front of you."
Then he jumped down with a sudden movement.
Hu Miaomiao suffered cardiac arrest and woke up in sweat.
The sky was slightly brightening, and in the dim light of the cave, she met Gouzi's puzzled gaze. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and blurted out, "Would you stay away from the cliff next time?"
Jun Zechen: “…”
nerve.
He turned around and dug in the doghouse, dug out a piece of clothing, pushed it with his paw, and squatted quietly.
Hu Miaomiao's eyes lit up, "Is this compensation for me?"
Of course dogs can't wash clothes, but they are very good at using their claws, so it only takes a few minutes for them to wash a piece of clothing.
Hu Miaomiao was just joking, but he took it seriously.
It was a dress with a white fluffy collar and a red and white hem. Upon closer inspection, the scent was surprisingly familiar. She observed it carefully, and suddenly her face turned pale. Her hand felt as if it had been electrocuted, and she dropped the dress.
"Fox fur?"
"Woo?" A hint of displeasure flashed in the wolf's green eyes. He didn't understand what she was crying about. Fox skin was just fox skin. It was just a wild fox that chased her back last night. If he didn't kill it, would he keep it for the fox cubs?
That's right, Jun Zechen woke up from his meditation yesterday and didn't find Hu Miaomiao, so he followed the scent to find her and reunited with her. He keenly noticed the two foxes behind her. He used the strength he had accumulated during the day to deal with the fox demon at night, but someone didn't appreciate it.
I've known for a long time that Hu Miaomiao is timid, but Jun Zechen didn't expect that she would even be afraid of fox fur.
He paced a few steps impatiently and used his claws to pull the clothes back on. She was like a frightened bird, retreating in panic, and finally left him and ran away.
Jun Zechen: “???”
He looked at the clothes on the ground, then at her running back. Between chasing her with the clothes in his mouth and ignoring her angrily, he chose to chase her with the clothes in his mouth angrily.
As he chased, Hu Miaomiao became even more panicked. The fox and the wolf jumped up and down in the woods.
Hu Miaomiao couldn't run well in human form, and she didn't dare to run around rashly with her fox tail exposed. Who knew if a monster catcher would suddenly appear while she was running? So the two-wheel drive wolf was no match for the four-wheel drive wolf, and soon she was pinned under a tree and shivering.
"Don't come over here!"
That's fox fur!
The corpse of her fox clan!
Even though she was bullied by the fox clan, she never had the courage to kill them.
What's the difference between that dress and having her wear a fox corpse?
Where does the fox fur come from?
Unlike other races, people of the same race have special senses with each other. She could sense that the fox's breath had not yet dissipated and that it had died not long ago.
Another question is, how did the fox die?
Now, Hu Miaomiao looked at Jun Zechen with shock and fear, her face as pale as the unmelted snow in the mountain stream, her pair of upturned fox eyes widened, like a frightened little animal, and the corners of her eyes were forced red.
Seeing that the "fox skin" was getting closer and closer and she couldn't escape, she anxiously scratched the bark with her fingers, and finally hugged the trunk and buried her face, as if this would prevent the fox skin from getting close to her.
From Jun Zechen's perspective, it was as if a human was shaking like a little quail. He thought coldly, if she was given a wolf's tail, it would have exploded into a dandelion by now, right?
Unfortunately, she has no tail.
She could only hold on to a big tree to cover up her crime, her frail body shaking like a sieve. She was still wearing her old tattered clothes, which were almost white from washing, but she was unwilling to change into the new clothes he gave her.
Jun Zechen stopped and looked at her deeply.
His gaze was sharp, like blades scraping across her body, making the fox's back tingle and she wished she could find a place to hide.
The dog was hers, and they lived under the same roof. The dog had never behaved aggressively, giving Hu Miaomiao the illusion that the dog was a good one.
Now, the other party has killed the fox, which has overturned Hu Miaomiao's perception of him. The corpse of her own kind made her terrified and she tried even harder to hide her fox tail.
Hu Miaomiao sniffed fearfully, feeling that the big dog behind her was unfriendly and could bite her at any time.
In the forest, the green shade blocks out the sun, and it is a warmth that the sun cannot penetrate. The whistling cold wind blocks the outside. Above the head, the cry of an unknown bird is eerie and terrifying. Hu Miaomiao, who is facing danger, keeps comforting himself, no, it is a good dog. Maybe the fox skin is the corpse left by other monsters in a fight, and it happened to be picked up by it?
Perhaps, it just wanted to give her a beautiful dress.
She has been raising the dog for several months and it hasn't revealed its true colors. Why would the dog suddenly turn against her?
After all, she has nothing else worth pursuing except this body.
Don't use your own despicable thoughts to speculate about your friends who you spend every day with.
She quietly encouraged herself, hugged the tree and turned around, hiding behind it. Just as she was about to speak, she saw that the dog that was behind her just now was gone, and only the fox fur clothes were abandoned on the ground. The slight wind finally passed through the dense forest, blowing the corners of the clothes, and the black mud spots on them were extremely eye-catching.
Hu Miaomiao was at a loss.
The good dog just left like that?
Hu Miaomiao was so overwhelmed by fear that she forgot whether her actions would hurt the dog's feelings. After all, in the dog's eyes, she just wanted to give her a piece of clothing.
As a result, she was discarded.
Her heart sank, and she strode over, shakily picking up the fox skin from the ground, and called out in the direction it had disappeared, "Are you coming back for dinner tonight?"
What responded to her was the remaining wind of the departing winter, clamoring and wailing, blowing the strands of hair on the sides of her face. She lowered her eyelashes, and her pupils were a little empty.
Just when she thought it wouldn't come back.
In the distance, the sound of a dog barking in a strange manner came from the woods.
"Awooo woof!" If he doesn't eat, he will run away from home.
Once he leaves, it will be for the rest of his life!
