Chapter 194 Petting the Fox
Chapter 194 Petting the Fox
A fish, a tomato, an egg, two jujubes, a handful of corn kernels, and a slice of watermelon.
The fox was stunned by the things that were presented to it one after another.
What's going on? When did this jungle rule come about, that you have to feed your opponent before you fight?
How could it possibly dare to use its mouth or claws now...?
The red fox's eyes couldn't resist being drawn to the pile of food emitting various alluring aromas, and its limbs moved closer uncontrollably, and then it just went with the flow.
It opened its mouth and bit a fish!
It wasn't that the fox lacked vigilance; it was just that the other party offered too much! The fox truly couldn't resist!
Lin Lanshan asked it with a smile, "Is it delicious? There's still plenty left. Eat slowly. Look how thin you are. I thought you were on a diet to stay beautiful."
The red fox was busy eating and didn't respond. Only its wagging tail betrayed its good mood.
The small fish was devoured in just a few bites. The red fox stared at the other food for several moments, then sniffed it closer before choosing the red-fleshed watermelon, which had the best color.
After taking a small bite, its beautiful eyes first lit up, then narrowed again, and it wagged its tail even more happily, whimpering.
Seeing that it was eating happily, the two sisters also smiled happily.
After the red fox finished eating the watermelon and then set its sights on the round egg, Lin Chunyi snatched the egg back.
"Chirp!" The red fox was a little angry. It was enjoying its meal when it was taken away.
It frantically dug at the soil on the ground, gesturing for her to put the eggs back.
Lin Chunyi shook her head and said to it with a sly look, "I've fed you so many good things, how about I rub your back?"
There's no such thing as a free lunch. If there is, it just means that you'll definitely need to give back more in the future.
The red fox was starting to think about retreating. Since it had already eaten so much for nothing, it might as well take this opportunity to slip away.
It took a few small steps back, and just as it was about to turn around, it saw that the eggshell had been peeled off, revealing the tender white egg white inside.
The unique aroma of the eggs, irresistible to the fox, made it forget its desire to run away once again.
It's worth noting that chickens are one of the most popular foods for foxes, and eggs are just as delicious.
If Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were here: So what? Feed their eggs to their natural enemies? Have these two owners never thought of doing anything humane?
At that moment, the two sisters probably didn't think much about the two cute little chicks they had at home; all they wanted to do was trick the red fox into their possession.
Lin Chunyi finished peeling the eggs, then held the still-steaming hard-boiled eggs in her hand and waved them in front of her.
The red fox's eyes and its increasingly open mouth swayed back and forth.
"Eggs, oh, do you want some?" The temptation was palpable.
"Eek!" I want to eat it!
"Let me touch your back." He continued to seduce her.
"Waaah~" A little hesitant, but no way~
"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it myself. I'll take the rest too." Slowly retract the egg in front of it and remove the other food.
"Waaah!" Here, have some! Here, have some! You cunning two-legged beast!
The red fox ultimately succumbed to the temptation of food offered by humans.
It lay on the ground with its limbs bent, pawing at the soil with its front paws, indicating "put it here, put it here," while its tail swung wildly like a propeller.
"Good boy!" Lin Chunyi gave the egg to it and then gently stroked its back.
The red fox lay on the ground, holding the egg in its front paws, and crunched away.
The two sisters squatted down beside it, gently stroking it from its head down to its neck. They rubbed its index fingers and thumbs on either side of its ears a few times, then stroked its back.
"Snoring~" The red fox ate its delicious food and felt a gentle massage from behind. The fox relaxed happily, its ears drooping and a sound of comfort coming from its throat.
The two sisters stroked its soft fur, expressing how comfortable it felt. No wonder fox fur and fox coats have been so sought after since ancient times.
The delicate, soft texture and the fluffy warmth are just so wonderful to touch!
The only downside was that the foxes smelled a bit. But for them, who had just slaughtered pigs not long ago, the smell was no problem at all.
The deal was thus completed, and both parties were very satisfied.
The red fox quickly finished the eggs, glanced at them, and then tentatively reached for the remaining food with its front paws.
The two women were satisfied with their successful petting of the fox. Besides, a whole bunch of their "guests" were still lying on the blankets; it was time to go back and check on them.
So Lin Chunyi patted the red fox's head and said, "It's all for you. Eat slowly. We're leaving now."
Lin Lanshan gave it one last pat and said, "A fox should be careful when it comes out. If you see people like us, stay away. Or we might catch you and skin you to make clothes!"
Upon hearing that it was going to be skinned alive, the red fox was so frightened that it quickly tucked its tail under its rear end, whimpering softly.
They had already given the warnings they needed to, and they didn't try to scare it any further. They got up, clapped their hands, and turned to walk back into the carriage.
The sun's light gradually dimmed, the temperature dropped, and the coolness of the breeze began to intensify.
The two sisters called out to the little ones who were unconsciously huddling together on the blanket, and packed their things to go home.
They each pulled off two corners, shook the blanket vigorously, then folded it neatly and put it into the carriage.
The wild boar meat, which had been exposed to the wind and sun for more than an hour, had almost stopped dripping blood. A layer of oilcloth was placed on the wooden planks of the carriage, and the meat was put inside.
Most of the tree branches and bamboo poles used for roasting meat are still in good condition. Well, let's not waste them; let's tie them up and take them home to use as firewood.
After everything was packed, the two sat down at the front of the carriage, called out to Peach who was lazily yawning, and set off to take Lynx home first.
They drove their wagon away from the meadow and quickly disappeared from sight. Only then did the red fox emerge from behind the tree, twitching its ears as it stared in the direction they had gone, lost in thought…
The two sisters, carrying peaches and the blessings of reunion and peace, safely escorted the "guests" to their doorsteps, giving them some chestnuts and fresh wild boar meat before they left.
Their hospitality was simply impeccable. They couldn't help but marvel at their own humility, showering each other with compliments along the way…
It was already late afternoon when I stepped into my house.
They had a very comfortable day and didn't feel tired even when they got home.
Before it got dark, I boiled water and took a bath. I also marinated the wild boar meat, which wasn't going to be used to make sausages, with crushed coarse salt and several spices such as Sichuan peppercorns.
Such a rare, exciting, fun, relaxing, and enjoyable day has come to an end as the sky changes color.
November,
The cold wind in the air began to become merciless, and when it blew against your face, it could wrinkle your skin.
When Lin Chunyi woke up and opened the bedroom door, she was immediately met with this gust of wind. She yawned, and the saline solution she had just forced out of her eyes was blown away.
"So dry? Could it be about to snow?" I didn't have much experience with the weather, so I relied entirely on my intuition.
