“Crack—”
“Crack…”
The thin cloth shoes made a crisp sound when stepping on the snow.
It snowed heavily for three consecutive days, and today it gradually stopped.
Hua Shi got up early, dressed neatly, ate a few winter dates, packed up his things, and hurried out.
When she went out, the Hua family's yard was still quiet, without a sound at all.
She tiptoed out the door without disturbing anyone else.
We didn't meet anyone along the way and walked into the mountains smoothly.
However, the mountain road was blocked by a lot of snow. The further she walked, the deeper the snow buried her, until it reached her calves.
Fortunately, the snow was gradually stopping, and she had already prepared herself mentally.
"call……"
Holding on to the tree stumps on both sides, I walked forward in the snow with difficulty, and I didn't know how long I walked.
Many parts of the mountain road were blocked by accumulated snow and fallen branches from tree branches. She went around in circles and took several detours.
Following my memory, I finally found that large jujube forest...
The scene she saw was pretty much what she had guessed.
There were winter jujubes hanging on the branches, many of which were weighed down by the heavy snow. One by one, they were buried in the snowdrifts, and many were buried under the snow.
There were only a few dates hanging on the treetops, which could be counted with the naked eye. She walked forward and used her hand to move the dates buried in the snow.
Some of the fruits were ripe, tender and bright red. After being soaked in snow water for two days, many of their skins had rotted. Some of the ones that were not rotten were small in size, with green and sour skins, and were frozen hard.
After looking around, I found that almost everything on the snow was destroyed and there was nothing edible.
Hua Shi walked forward a few steps and stood under the jujube tree. He looked at the few winter jujubes on the branches, looked around, and then looked away in disappointment.
There aren't many that are edible...
“Chirp…”
“Chirp, chirp, chirp…”
She was about to reach out to pick the remaining winter dates on the tree branch when she heard a faint sound that seemed to be the cry of a fox from the dense forest on the right side of the date forest.
Sounds familiar...
“Chirp, chirp, chirp…”
The cry was getting closer and closer. Although it sounded familiar, the voice sounded weak and powerless.
“Snap—”
Hua Shi looked in the direction where the sound came from. A pine tree not far from her seemed to be hit by something, and the snow hanging on the branches fell from above with a snap.
The vast expanse of white snow made it difficult for her to see clearly in her direction...
She looked around vigilantly, waited for a while, and after making sure there was no other sound down the mountain, she slowly walked towards the direction where the fox's cry had just come from.
She always had a bad feeling in her heart. The cry was somewhat similar to the sound of the white fox she met last time.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she had never heard the cry of any other fox except the white fox.
Moreover, the black cat hasn't been home for a few days. I don't know if this has anything to do with the cat...
While Hua Shi was thinking, he had already walked towards that direction carefully.
After passing four or five trees, she finally saw clearly what the sound had just come from...
Behind the thick tree trunk, the bright red color stands straight into view.
Lying in the snow was a fox with pure white fur. The color of its fur almost blended in with the color of the snow. If it weren't for the blood that spilled from its body and dyed the snow red, it would have been difficult to be discovered.
Hua Shi stood half a meter away, carefully observing the fox.
She didn't know if this was the fox she had seen last time...
The injured white fox was lying on the snow, half of its body covered by the snow that had fallen from the trees. Its head was tilted to the side, making it difficult to tell whether it was still conscious.
Its belly was stained with blood, and the snow beneath it was also stained with blood, seeping into the snowdrifts...
“Crack, crack—”
Hua Shi walked on the snow, and the sound of her footsteps seemed to wake up the white fox in a semi-comatose state.
It suddenly headed towards the direction of the footsteps, and its gray-gold eyes looked at Hua Shi with a hazy and wary look.
Hua Shi saw it move and seemed to be still awake, so he immediately stopped approaching until he looked into the familiar gray-gold eyes of the beast.
It feels more and more familiar... It seems to be the white fox that appeared with the wild deer last time.
But for some reason, it was injured and its body was curled up in the snow. It looked smaller than the last time I saw it. Its originally clean fur was now gray and messy, and blood was still flowing from its belly.
"Chiu..."
The white fox seemed to recognize her as well. Its originally alert eyes seemed to calm down all of a sudden. It raised its head a little, then fell back to the snow, looking at her weakly.
"Chiu..."
The weak voice seemed to be squeezed out from the throat. Excessive blood loss left it without the strength to make any other unnecessary movements.
Hua Shi knew the spirituality of this white fox. After recognizing it as the fox he had seen last time, his vigilance faded a little and he walked towards it.
The white fox's eyes were fixed on her. When she approached, it did not make any other movements and just lay there quietly without moving.
Hua Shi reached out and brushed the snow off its fur before checking the wound on its stomach.
The hair in that place was torn off by something. Looking closely at the wound that was bleeding, it seemed to have been scratched by some sharp claws, and there were obvious scratches on it.
