Xu Shiyan had no intention of killing the fox, so he just bent down and picked up the wolf's body before planning to leave.
As a result, the fox on the ground crawled to Xu Shiyan's feet with great effort and made a cry similar to "嘘嘤".
Xu Shiyan was a little confused. What did this mean?
"I've saved your life, why don't you leave?"
After Xu Shiyan finished speaking, he slapped himself.
Bah, you are crazy, and you are talking to a mute beast. How can you really think of this person as the third prince?
If it had the ability, it wouldn't have been caught up by a wolf and almost killed.
Unexpectedly, the fox made a squeaking sound and stayed at Xu Shiyan's feet, refusing to leave.
Xu Shiyan rolled his eyes, "I don't want to provoke you, hey, you're such a loser, aren't you?
Aren’t you afraid that I’ll beat you to death and strip you of your skin?”
No matter what Xu Shiyan said, the fox wouldn't leave. Xu Shiyan had no choice but to bend down and check the fox's injuries.
Well, this guy's two hind legs are injured and he can't walk at all.
"I owe you something, right? I saved you from the wolf's mouth, but I still have to treat your injuries?"
Xu Shiyan had no choice but to take out the leggings from the diagonal pocket and carry them directly on his back like a child.
"Let's go home and make soup for you."
While threatening, he dragged up the wolf's body. This time, he didn't need a wooden pole to paddle. Anyway, he just went downhill and slowly escaped.
All the way back to the venue, I asked Su Anying to open the door.
"What is this? A wolf? Oh my god, did you meet a wolf today?"
Su Anying was shocked when she saw the guy Xu Shiyan was dragging.
"Not only did I meet a wolf, look what this is? There is also a fox."
Xu Shiyan reached out and untied his torn sheepskin coat, revealing the fox hidden in his arms.
It was originally carried on his back, but Xu Shiyan remembered on the way that it was such a cold day and the fox was still and injured on his back. Could it be frozen?
In desperation, Xu Shiyan had to tie it up again and put the fire fox inside the torn sheepskin coat.
Fortunately, the sheepskin jacket was fat and big, and the fox was small, so it was not awkward to carry it in the front.
"Don't mention it, this thing is really warm. I put it in my chest and it was warm.
It just smells so bad that I have to take a shower at night."
Xu Shiyan took the fox out with great disgust, put it on the ground, and then carefully checked the fox's legs.
One of the fox's legs was bitten off by the wolf, but the other leg was not broken, but the wound was quite deep.
Xu Shiyan glanced at the fox, then turned around and rummaged through the cabinet for medicinal powder.
First, the unbroken leg was bandaged with medicine. After the bandage was completed, the fox's broken leg was reattached while the fox was not paying attention.
When the broken leg was reattached, the fox was probably in great pain and bared his teeth at Xu Shiyan.
Xu Shiyan slapped him on the head, "You show your teeth again? I'll throw you out."
The fox received a slap, but he became more honest and lay on the ground without daring to move.
Xu Shiyan was very satisfied. He connected the legs, found two chopsticks on both sides of the legs, and then tied them with ropes.
"Okay, let's keep them here. Fortunately, there are no chickens in the farm, otherwise I would be afraid that you would steal them."
Xu Shiyan found a sack and spread it on the ground. He moved the fox on top of the sack and carried it to the outer room.
This stuff smells so bad, wouldn't it kill people in the house?
Su Anying looked confused as she watched Xu Shiyan treat the fox's injuries.
After a long time of fussing together, the man in her family brought back a fox not to skin it, but to keep it? Can this thing be kept?
"Are you planning to keep it? Is that possible?" Su Anying was curious.
I've only heard of Huang Pizi living in someone else's house before, but I've never heard of someone raising a fox.
"What should I do if I don't keep it? Its legs are broken. If I don't bring it back, it won't survive tonight. It will eat whatever it wants."
Xu Shiyan is also worried. He provoked a fox back for nothing. How can he raise this thing?
"Forget it, since I shot it to save it from the wolf's mouth, I will save it to the end. When its injury is healed, it will leave on its own."
What can I do? Just keep it. Fortunately, this guy is an omnivore and will eat anything. So just let it eat what the dog eats. Just treat it like a dog.
At this point, the fox took up residence in the venue.
Xu Shiyan talks about feeding foxes like dogs, but he actually means it very carefully.
The pheasants and rabbits in the trap will be fed to the fox. I will feed it some of the pheasants and rabbits whenever I do anything at home.
It has to be said that the resilience of wild animals is really strong.
After five or six days, the fox dared to stand up. After another six or seven days, the broken leg could barely walk.
At this time, the solar year had already passed, and as we entered the twelfth lunar month, the ground was already frozen and hard, and no one could steal the ginseng.
Xu Shiyan and Su Anying also started preparing to go down the mountain and go home to pack up for the New Year.
On the 8th, Xu Shiyan went up the mountain on his skis again and went to the pine forest to check the clips he had set before.
Not to mention, it was really rewarding. Three chinchillas and two sables were caught.
I don’t know when it was clamped, but it was frozen to the bone.
Xu Shiyan didn't care, he didn't plan to eat meat, he just wanted the skin.
So, he put away all the clips and went down the mountain with his prey contentedly.
On the 9th, Xu Shiyan removed all the ground guns and cannons around the venue, and together with Su Anying, he packed up all kinds of meat and skins in the warehouse and loaded them on the sledge.
All five dogs were put into harnesses. Xu Shiyan asked Su Anying to help make them. They are only used for pulling sledges and do not strangle the dogs' necks.
Everything was packed away except the fox.
Fortunately, the fox's injuries were almost healed, so Xu Shiyan planned to release it.
"We have to go down the mountain and go home to celebrate the New Year. You can't rely on me anymore. You can go play by yourself."
Xu Shiyan was afraid that the dogs would bite the fox after seeing it, so he drove the sledge outside, then came back, picked up the fox, and carried it outside.
I don't know if the fox is really understanding of human nature. He looked at Xu Shiyan, turned around and ran away.
Xu Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief, this scoundrel was finally gone, and he no longer had to suffer the stench.
After seeing off the fox, Xu Shiyan and his wife locked the gate to the venue and drove the dog sledge back.
"Daughter-in-law, please walk slowly, pay attention to your feet, and be careful of the slippery road. If you don't listen when I tell you to sit on the sledge, you have to walk by yourself."
Xu Shiyan carefully helped Su Anying walk, nagging as he walked.
"How much stuff is loaded on our sledge? It's enough to tire the five dogs.
With my current stature, it would be too heavy to sit on. Isn't this because I feel sorry for the dog?" Su Anying said with a smile.
Su Anying is almost six months pregnant. She has gained a lot of weight from eating well in the mountains.
My belly is not very visible, and I wear thick clothes in winter, so I really can’t tell that I am pregnant unless I look carefully.
Qianchuan Canchang was ten miles away from the village, and Su Anying was pregnant with a child, so the walk was naturally not fast. By the time they entered the village, it was almost noon.
"Oh, aren't these the third son and his wife of the Xu family? They went down the mountain and went home to celebrate the New Year?
