“Chirp, chirp…?!”
In the dilapidated temple, the white fox half lying in the corner keenly heard the footsteps coming from outside.
It raised its head excitedly, and its fox eyes sparkled as it looked towards the source of the sound.
“Chirp, chirp…!!”
The cry was sent out excitedly in that direction, trying to attract the attention of the visitor.
“Chirp…!”
After seeing clearly that it was that familiar figure, the white fox's cry was filled with a hint of surprise.
"Chirp, chirp, woo..."
"Okay, okay, stop yelling. I can hear you from far away."
Hua Shi said helplessly and walked towards the corner where the fox was lying.
“Chiu…?!”
The white fox tilted its head and looked towards Hua Shi. Suddenly, when it saw the pheasant in her hand, its gray-yellow eyes lit up noticeably.
Like a surprise...
“Chirp! Chirp…!”
The white fox excitedly propped up its front half and kept calling out to Hua Shi several times. Its bright fox eyes kept staring at her... no, at the pheasant in her hand.
Perhaps the white fox's intention was too obvious, Hua Shi only took a glance and immediately guessed what it meant.
Hua Shi looked down at the three pheasants entangled together in his hands, and then looked at the white fox that was so excited that it was standing on tiptoe.
The fox seemed to think that the three pheasants she brought back were for it to eat...
Ah, Hanashi, who had never thought about this, was silent for a moment.
To be honest, she is also very hungry now...
In fact, when she left the white fox in this dilapidated temple, she didn't think about being responsible for its diet. After all, she herself was not full and had no desire to feed it.
Even the black cat that had been with her for so long, she had only fed it once or twice when she had some food in her hands. The rest of the time, the black cat went out to find food by itself.
Speaking of black cats, Hua Shi felt a headache again.
well……
I don't know what kind of bad fate it has with snakes. From the first time I saw it, I saw it entangled with snakes several times...
This time, I don’t know if it was while I was foraging in the mountains, but I happened to encounter a poisonous snake. While struggling with it, I was accidentally bitten on the neck and almost died.
“Chirp, chirp…?!”
When Hua Shi was distracted, the white fox had somehow managed to stand up. Although its two hind legs, which had not yet recovered, managed to stand up, they kept shaking.
Obviously, the strength of its hind legs was only enough to support its entire body, but it was unable to move forward.
But it's not bad. He was injured so seriously, but he was able to stand up so quickly in less than a day. I estimate that after feeding him with spring water twice more, he will be able to return to the mountains safely tomorrow.
"Okay, I'll get you something to eat. I'm hungry too. Let's each have a little to fill our stomachs. You can go back to the mountains tomorrow."
Hua Shi looked at the fox eyes that were looking at him eagerly, and put everything in his hands on the ground while speaking.
The white fox understood Hua Shi’s words, called out to her excitedly, and then lay back on the ground.
But at this moment, it keenly noticed that there seemed to be a sleeping black cat lying in the bamboo basket that Hua Shi put down.
It put its head closer and sniffed curiously. Seeing that the black cat was sleeping soundly and didn't react at all, it immediately lost interest. Its narrow fox eyes followed Hua Shi's figure again.
The last time I roasted a pheasant here was several months ago. At that time, I was with Hua Yu and the other four.
At that time, one pheasant was not enough for five people to share. Each person took a few bites and soon all the meat was scraped off.
Looking back now, she can hardly remember the taste of the roasted pheasant.
Hua Shi had some experience, so he was very familiar with handling the pheasant this time.
The well in the dilapidated temple was blocked by snow and ice. When the wooden barrel was thrown in, the sound that came back was a thudding sound, which obviously meant that the water below was frozen.
I don’t know if it’s because no one lives here, but the water at the bottom of the well has frozen into ice.
The well in the Hua family courtyard was frozen cold above the manhole cover, but the water below had not frozen into ice.
There was no other way, so Hua Shi could only wash the pheasant with water from the spring, and then took out the fire starter hidden in a hidden corner of the wall, picked up some wood nearby, built a bonfire, lit it, and put the skewers on it.
After a few months, the campfire roasted pheasant is still simple and can be seen at a glance.
There were no seasonings or other side dishes. A man and a fox stood by the fire, quietly waiting for the pheasant on the grill to be cooked.
"hiss……"
When it was getting dark, the pheasant that had been roasted for a while was finally cooked.
Hua Shi rubbed her red, scalded fingers. Her hands felt both cold and hot, and she didn't know what it felt like. She endured it and tore half a chicken for the white fox. As soon as she handed it over, the white fox opened its sharp mouth and took it in one bite.
“Kacha, kacha!——”
The sound of chicken bones and chicken meat being chewed is clear and audible.
Hua Shi held her half in her hands, chewing the meat while roasting it over the fire that still had some charcoal, and happily enjoyed this moment of peace.
"Woo...chiu..."
Hua Shi had half a piece of chicken in her hand, and before she had even taken two bites, the white fox leaning next to her suddenly raised its head and whimpered at her.
She turned her head and looked over, and met its wet, longing fox eyes.
Hua Shi paused: "..."
No, you swallowed such a big piece of meat in just three or two bites?
