I ran closer to the grass and took a look, and saw a small white head peeking out of the wet grass, with two pointed ears pointing upwards, and a pair of big amber eyes revealing pain and fear. The rainwater flows through the pointed mouth and flows to the ground. Looking down, although the white hair is wet and clinging to the body, it can also be seen that the body is slender and there is a big white tail trailing behind it.
"Hey, what kind of animal is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"Could this be the legendary white fox?" Although I have never seen a fox, I have seen it in movies, and it looks exactly like this one.
"Yes, this must be the legendary white fox. Why doesn't it go back when it rains so heavily? Why is it hiding in the grass? Is the Fox Fairy Cave in the big ditch ahead?"
"Woof woof, woof."
"Dahei, stop shouting" and go aside."
I scolded Dahei, and then Dahei wagged his tail obediently and hid under the grass on the side.
By this time, the rain had gradually lightened up, but it was almost getting dark.
According to legend, foxes are immortals, and we mortals cannot easily provoke them, otherwise there will be retribution.
Thinking of this, I was ready to turn around and go home.
"Squeak, squeak.",
Just as I stood up, the white fox in front of me made a squeaking sound.
I looked at the white fox and saw pain and pleading in its big, pitiful eyes.
"White Fox, White Fox", "Are you calling me? Do you need my help with something?" .
I knelt down and looked at the white fox carefully. I saw bright red blood oozing out from under its right leg, although it was washed away by the rain. But the specks of red blood can still be seen clearly if you look closely.
"Your leg is injured, do you need my help to treat it?"
The white fox nodded like a human, with two big eyes full of gratitude.
"But I don't know how to heal injuries! What should I do?
"No matter, let's bandage its wound first."
Then I held the white fox in my arms and checked its wounds. I saw that its calf was broken, probably broken by the iron trap used to catch rabbits.
"White Fox, White Fox, now I'm going to clean your wound. If it hurts, you have to hold back." White Fox nodded sensibly, then closed his beautiful big eyes, lying peacefully in my arms motionless. . I used the rainwater to clean its wound. Because I was afraid of rainwater infection, I also used my own saliva to clean the wound. Then I folded two small branches from the edge of the ditch and attached them to the white fox's broken leg, and then removed them from the hood. A piece of cloth was torn off the clothes he was wearing. Hit it hard on the injured area.
By this time, the rain had stopped, the sky had cleared up, and there was a hint of sunset on the horizon in the distance.
"White fox, white fox, the wound has been treated. You will be able to walk in two days."
"You go home quickly. The sun is going to set soon. I have to go home quickly. It's raining so hard. My family should be anxious."
After saying that, I put down the white fox, got up and walked back.
"Squeak, squeak," the white fox barked at me twice more, and bit my trouser leg to prevent me from leaving.
"What, is there anything else?"
The white fox didn't let go and pulled me hard to the north, with an anxious look in its eyes.
"What do you mean? Do you want me to take you home? But further inside is the Fox Fairy Cave. That is your home. We mortals cannot go there."
At this time, the white fox let go, biting my trouser leg, and squatted on the ground with its two big round eyes, staring at me blankly. After about a minute, the white fox stood up and staggered towards the ditch to the north.
But after walking only a few steps, he fell into the muddy water.
"White Fox, please don't move. It's better for me to take you back! But as agreed, I can only take you to the entrance of the cave."
"Squeak, squeak," the white fox called out twice in a sensible manner, which was regarded as an agreement.
Then I squatted down, gently picked up the white fox, and wiped off the mud and water on it.
"Heizi Heizi, you go back first. I want to send the white fox to his home. I will go back in a while."
Obediently, Heizi turned around and ran out of the ditch.
I held the white fox and walked through the muddy rainwater in the ditch.
The white fox in my arms was peaceful and peaceful, and looked at me with its big eyes from time to time.
Maybe after my treatment, the wound was not as painful as it was at the beginning. Maybe it was my body temperature that warmed it. Its body no longer shivered, and it lay docilely in my arms, and even snored slightly. .
In this way, I held the white fox and walked in the ditch for about ten minutes.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and I guessed that it was time to arrive at the Fox Fairy Cave. Although I had never been to the Fox Fairy Cave, I often passed by it when I followed the adults from the bank beside the ditch to work in the fields.
"Hey, why is the road ahead dry? Wasn't it raining heavily just now?"
And the road was still smooth, as if someone had repaired it. Going further, I found two pine trees on both sides of the road. The emerald green branches stretched out to the surroundings, and the shape was very beautiful.
"What kind of place is this? Isn't it the Fox Fairy Cave? I didn't find any pine trees when I walked along the ditch bank before?"
Just as I was in a trance, the white fox in my arms moved. He struggled to get out of my arms and limped forward.
"White Fox, where are you going? Is this your home? Your injury hasn't healed yet. Don't run around!" I said as I took two steps to catch up with the White Fox.
Amid my shouts, the white fox scurried and disappeared at the bend in front of the road, and I quickly chased after it.
I had just turned a corner after chasing the white fox, and suddenly I noticed a soft orange light coming from the front. The light was not very bright, but I could see it clearly.
