Chapter 5, Saving the Fox

His statement, of course, is the result of careful consideration

In the past, Wang Ling understood most of what Xiao Bai said.

In summary, those three little foxes are all circling around Wang Ling's feet, unwilling to leave.

Wang Ling suddenly realized and recalled, cupping his hands and smiling, "Thank you for informing me. By the way, just forget about today's events... On the way, I encountered a young master hunting on horseback, and I spent a coin to purchase your game!"

Wang Ling would not allow him to think too much and directly took out a gold coin, saying with a smile: "In that case, how about I use this gold coin to exchange for these few pieces of game?"

Seeing the person who had been haunting her walk away, Wang Ling smiled, and the matter was resolved just like that

What does it matter? Perhaps he is a wealthy young master who enjoys raising foxes, just like one would raise cats or dogs

The hunter, upon seeing Wang Ling's tall stature, fair complexion, and scholarly robe, immediately recognized him as an educated man

Take care

However, as Xiaobai called out twice, the two little foxes stealthily poked their small heads out from among the grass leaves, appearing to be sneaky

However, a little fox was tugging at Wang Ling's pant leg, and Wang Ling was taken aback: "Are you Xiao Bai?"

Well, by the way...

He said to the three foxes circling around his legs: "Let's go, it's dangerous here, don't come here again in the future"

The hunter was completely flustered, his hands and feet no longer nimble. He hurriedly handed the prey he was carrying on his shoulder to Wang Ling, saying: "I feel quite embarrassed, I really do... This money is enough to buy all the game in the mountains. I think I should return this money to you..."

The three foxes are all of similar size, each completely snow-white without a single speck of color. After circling around several times, Wang Ling can no longer distinguish which one is Little White.

Saying this, without allowing for refusal, he handed over the money

However, the two foxes that originally appeared to be half-dead suddenly sprang to life, darting outwards like arrows and disappearing into the grass.

However, let him not mention anything else

Although I cannot understand what Xiao Bai is calling out, I can vaguely sense that within Xiao Bai's cries, there is no longer any pleading or panic, only a sense of affection remaining

Then he noticed a faint blue light that seemed to flicker in Wang Ling's eyes

The little fox chirped and then nimbly climbed up Wang Ling's pants to his shoulder, extending a paw as if gesturing, finally pointing in a certain direction

Moreover, it seems that the food at home is also running low

He was never a meddlesome good person; it was just that over the past few months, living in the mountains in solitude and hardship, he developed feelings due to the companionship of the little white one

He himself is not worried about these matters; he is only afraid that in the future these few little foxes will encounter danger again, and Wang Ling will not be able to save them!

Oh, how did I return in such a daze? I see, today I went hunting and caught a roe deer, but it was bought from me by a young gentleman on horseback!

This faint blue light is quite strange, as if it were emanating from the depths of Wang Ling's pupils like a needle's tip, and in an instant, it transformed Wang Ling's pupils into a shade of emerald.

Wang Ling suddenly called out to the hunter

Feeling a bit intimidated, I quickly returned the courtesy with a smile and said, "This young gentleman is being overly polite. If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to mention it"

Upon hearing Wang Ling say this, the hunter readily agreed.

The hunter's tone was dull, and after repeating it several times, he finally left in a daze

Indeed cunning

Upon thinking of this, I hurriedly took out the money from my arms and saw that it was still there

However, I thought to myself, since there is a large market, why not go take a look and conveniently buy some things? It seems that the wooden pillow on the bed was broken last time, making it quite uncomfortable to sleep.

Then the hunter felt relieved, as long as Wang Ling did not want to reclaim the money

Wang Ling smiled even more: "Why not, the weather is cold, and hunting is not easy. As for the surplus, let me settle it by treating this big brother to a drink..."

The hunter was taken aback, almost thinking that Wang Ling was about to back out.

Yet Wang Ling laughed and said, "In such heavy snow, I wonder where you are headed, my dear brother?"

Wang Ling cursed under her breath, these two foxes are as cunning as Xiao Bai. However, she did not pay attention to how the three foxes communicated, but instead called out to the hunter

After all, the currency circulating in this world is primarily copper coins, while money is akin to the gold of later generations, rarely in circulation

Moreover, it quickly left Wang Ling in a state of confusion

At once, a sense of calm settled in my heart, yet I could not even recall what the horse-riding young man looked like. Nevertheless, I strode purposefully back home.

The hunter gazed into the distance, as if it were a bottomless lake, drawing his entire spirit into its depths

Where does money come from

Wang Ling could not guarantee whether this hunter would leak information upon returning; in any case, this area has become rather unsafe

The unique luster of gold immediately captivated the hunter's gaze, completely making him forget about the fox

One could only smile wryly, repeatedly stating the need to drive away these three little foxes

This time, Wang Ling spoke in a more complex manner; I wonder if this little white can understand.

It is said that Wang Ling, having just purchased these few pieces of game, untied the ropes and placed them on the ground

Unconsciously, the person's gaze and tone became dull.

It is said in this manner, yet in hand, money is firmly grasped, unwilling to let go in the slightest degree

This ... ... game in the mountains and fields is not worth much money ... ...

Of course, this is merely a subconscious behavior

However, it is said: "Young master, you may not know that not far ahead in Guangyang City, there is the Shuo Wang Grand Market!"

This is not a trivial matter in such an era, as it equates to the origins of enormous wealth in the world being unknown

This... this, the value of a petty person's prey cannot be worth so much money

He smiled and said, "I would like to buy a few of the prey here from you, but I am not sure how much it will cost!"

After walking for more than ten miles, I could see that I was not far from home. A gust of wind blew by, and it was then that I finally awakened from my daze.

The so-called money is currency that is truly minted from gold, resembling copper coins in form, yet it is significantly more valuable

It is impossible for Orion to say nothing at all

Seeing that Wang Ling seemed to have no further matters, fearing that Wang Ling might change her mind, the hunter turned and left

In summary, if the explanation is unclear, there will certainly be some trouble

It is indeed too conspicuous for Wang Ling to be accompanied by a fox

One gold coin is sufficient to exchange for a thousand copper coins, let alone just having a drink; even if one were to drink for a year and a half, it would be enough

Wang Ling's tone became increasingly gentle as she smiled and said, "It's nothing, my family is wealthy, and these trivial matters are of no consequence. I just hope that after you return, you won't say too much... Just mention that a young master has taken a liking to your catch and bought it with money. Please refrain from mentioning anything else, if that's alright"

While speaking, he hesitated and looked at the little white dog by Wang Ling's feet

Moreover, there is no need to mention anything about whether it is a fox or not, that is sufficient

As for what Wang Ling intends to do with these prey, why is there a fox following her?
