Chapter 6, the fox spirit began to speak
"It is not that I will speak your words, but rather that you will speak mine." The little fox smiled charmingly, her nose playfully wrinkling, as if a series of ripples were stirred on the surface of spring water
This is quite amusing, isn't it? Although I don't usually like to spit out seeds while enjoying a melon, isn't this a bit exaggerated? These seeds are really quite considerate, aren't they? They didn't even stay in the stomach for a whole night before returning to the world along with the rice.
The expression of love transcends language; the little fox ended his unfinished sentiment with a gentle kiss.
In the middle of the night, Liu Zhenhan was awakened by a severe pain in his stomach. Holding his belly, he dared not make a sound, fearing that he would wake up the little fox and Guoguo. He bent over and hurriedly ran to a nearby thicket of thorns.
Old Liu's head exploded with a "bang," as if a firecracker had been stuffed inside it.
Guoguo also dragged a large mouse and appeared at the door of the shed. Upon seeing Liu Zhenhan, it joyfully ran over, squealing, and its affectionate demeanor brought tears to Liu Zhenhan's eyes.
Your husband is indeed the pride of the Mountain Green and Water Clear Brigade, my departure once caused the singing community of Laoshan to weep, beauty and voice in equal measure, the embodiment of heroism and chivalry, the number one king of the risqué song list in the two mountains... Old Liu has become increasingly unrestrained.
One night, while Liu Zhenhan was sleeping, he noticed a pleasant fragrance lingering near his nose. Then, feeling a warmth enveloping him, he awoke to find a small fox smiling at him beneath the dancing campfire
"Damn it..." Liu Zhenhan cursed halfway before swallowing his words. He noticed the few blades of grass on the ground used for wiping; this pile of dung was indeed his own creation from the night before.
Liu Zhenhan woke up early the next morning, made two "beggar's chickens," and placed them in front of the beds of the little fox and Guoguo, sealing them with mud. He carved two marks on the hillside with a knife, tidied up a bit, and then went out again with his bow and arrows
No! Liu Zhenhan felt a surge of joy in his heart, as his large hand, akin to a bear's paw, extended like a lightning bolt beneath the little fox's long robe, while he maintained a facade of seriousness, pretending to be a young man of good character.
Gently lifting the wolf skin blanket in his hands, he wrapped it around the little fox from behind. Liu Zhenhan felt the little fox's shoulders tense up for a moment, followed by a wave of nervousness, but then gradually relaxed.
Several piles of dung are arranged in a zigzag pattern, resembling pyramids, obstructing the path ahead. The initial piles are still quite firm, but the further back one looks, the more they appear to be decayed and mushy.
The little fox was laughing heartily, to the point that Liu Zhenhan felt a bit embarrassed
www.hetushu.com.com You ... ... I ... ... '' Liu Daguangren swallowed hard, almost choking on his own throat | In his eyes, `` You ... ... kissed ... ... me ... ... ''
I actually fell in love with a vixen Liu Zhenhan stroked the little fox's tail took a deep breath inhaling the intoxicating fragrance from the little fox's body feeling as if he was about to melt away
Being able to utilize all available resources for survival is a symbol of wisdom. Liu Zhenhan quietly praised the little fox in his heart
Damn it! I'm still alive!" Liu Zhenhan secretly wiped away his tears and said while pinching Guoguo's little face.
The little fox slowly raised its head, and Liu Zhenhan saw a beautiful face tinged with sorrow unexpectedly reveal a faint dimple as it smiled at him. She actually smiled! A feeling akin to being enveloped in a spring breeze instantly filled Liu Zhenhan.
At this moment, Liu Zhenhan's mind was in a state of chaos, sitting in front of the campfire, and he did not know how long had passed before he finally fell into a daze and fell asleep
The two individuals embraced tightly without exchanging many words
Liu Zhenhan looked as if he had been struck in the face by a rifle butt, completely stunned.
Liu Zhenhan felt a wave of comfort followed by a wave of frustration in his heart
Suddenly, a sound resembling a mountain flood erupted in the silent night sky, startling several night partridges, which raised their necks to observe their surroundings.
"Sing for me?" Liu Zhenhan, regardless of whether others could understand, pointed to his own nose and boasted openly: "Do you know what my nickname was before, your husband?"
I love you too! Guoguo! I love you all! Damn it... I am so in love!! Liu Zhenhan felt his heart filled to the brim with happiness, momentarily losing control, and shouted again. Of course, there was also a hint of teasing in it, knowing that the little fox couldn't understand his words.
"It is impolite not to reciprocate..." Liu Zhenhan, with a determined expression, went up and took another vigorous bite.
As he watched the originally short melon seedlings grow taller and taller, Liu Zhenhan felt a sense of pride swelling within him. The little fox's injury also improved as the knife marks on the mountain wall increased.
"What what ... ... ?" Liu Zhenhan asked again in disbelief
Liu Zhenhan touched his chest, feeling the wolfskin blanket covering him, and then looked beneath him to see a straw bed where a little fox was sleeping
Liu Zhenhan was precisely in search of such prey. Today, his body had not fully recovered, and he truly lacked the strength to run too far. He could only resort to these plump, clumsy quails. Concerned that these birds might behave like that fat rabbit, creating some sort of ice blades or snow arrows, Liu Zhenhan drew his bow from a considerable distance. Lacking strength, the arrows he shot were feeble and soft. After shooting four arrows in succession, he finally managed to hit one.
Watching the little fox, dressed in a long robe and stumbling while preparing dinner by the campfire, Liu Zhenhan felt his eyes welling up with tears
The delicate hand of the little fox drew a circle, suddenly pressing against Liu Zhenhan's head
How did this injured little girl manage to move her large body onto the straw? Liu Zhenhan himself was also puzzled
The little fox smiled, her eyes squinting into a narrow slit, and the corners of her charming mouth curved into a crescent shape
It is reassuring that the little fox can actually stand up, although her steps are somewhat unsteady and wobbly. At the very least, this indicates that she only has some external injuries left from the impact. It is likely that during that incident in the box, she was piled on top and thus escaped death, which can be considered a stroke of luck.
Guoguo seems particularly dissatisfied
Completed, completed... Liu Zhenhan felt a whirlwind in his mind; at this moment, let alone another wolf, even if a fat rabbit were to come, he would be able to handle it.
Guoguo also "smacked" him, leaving his face covered in saliva and mud
"Do not ... ..." The little fox slightly parted its pearly teeth and began to speak
The crown of a virgin... holds great significance for a priest..." The little fox shyly lowered her head
Once again, it was the mischievous Guoguo who interrupted Liu Daguanyren's lengthy kiss and his wandering hands
The little fox, being stroked on its tail, could hardly stand upright, with half of its body nestled in his embrace
Liu Zhenhan bent down and carefully examined the several piles of feces. In the slightly harder feces of the first few piles, several clusters of tender green shoots had already sprouted. On the surface of the half-dried, dark feces, a few immature melon seeds could still be faintly seen, glimmering white.
Liu Zhenhan counted and found that there were at least a dozen bunches of vibrant green melon seedlings
The little fox also looked at the two of them with a charming smile, its pair of beautiful and delicate big eyes containing a thin layer of mist.
"You should go rest now," Liu Zhenhan said, turning her body and smiling at the little fox
What are you doing? Liu Zhenhan shook his head and said, "Wife, what on earth are you up to?"
"You actually speak... Chinese?" Liu Zhenhan stammered as he asked
Liu Zhenhan's mind went blank, and after a sudden jolt, he staggered back several steps before finally regaining his balance
However, not long after, he felt regret again, cursing himself for pretending to be pure by the campfire
Hehe... Liu Zhenhan was almost in tears from laughing.
When he woke up again, he saw a petite figure busily working by the campfire, moving unsteadily. Liu Zhenhan rubbed his eyes, which were crusted with sleep, and realized it was the little fox, roasting seabirds over the fire. On a wooden rack, a salted fish was also being cooked, its green flesh interspersed with yellow fat sizzling and dripping oil into the flames, causing the fire to flare up occasionally.
As night fell, Liu Zhenhan still dozed off by the campfire, while the little fox invited him to sleep on the straw mat, even offering a space. However, the little fox did not take off its clothes again; yet, looking into the little fox's clear eyes, Liu Zhenhan felt too embarrassed to go. He thought it best not to approach, as he was filled with inappropriate thoughts, fearing that if he lost control, his reputation would be completely ruined.
The gaze of the little fox resembled the waters of Longchuan River in Liu Zhenhan's memory of his hometown, vast and misty; it also sparkled like the stars in the sky, shining brightly.
Little hoof, I simply cannot look at her face; just thinking of her small appearance makes my heart feel restless. Liu Zhenhan, upon thinking of this, felt a significant rise beneath him.
After driving the little fox back to the mat, Liu Zhenhan began to roast the fish and the seabirds himself. Several of the more than ten seabirds he had caught yesterday had already been eaten. Liu Zhenhan calculated that he had probably slept for at least a day. Looking at the few remaining seabirds frozen into ice lumps lying in the corner, Liu Zhenhan couldn't help but admire the cleverness of the little fox
He is also straightforward and unreserved, taking advantage of the little fox by pushing his luck further
The little fox kept singing, and the empty valley began to echo. The little fox continued to make various strange gestures, and Liu Zhenhan grew more and more puzzled and increasingly worried as he watched.
Liu Zhenhan looked down and saw that he had gained a cloak made of feathers. The feathers were in shades of blue and red, with long plumes that had pearl-like spots. The colors were arranged in a neat order. Liu Zhenhan touched the stem of the feathered garment and discovered that it was made of the same thread as the red robe of the little fox.
It is disheartening that there will be no more opportunities to experience her charm; these losses caused Liu Zhenhan to sigh deeply, lamenting the unpredictability of life's joys and sorrows, and the capriciousness of fate
Guoguo once again emerged inopportunely from the embrace of the two individuals, peering at them with a mischievous expression
The morning dew was particularly heavy, and Liu Zhenhan felt a chilling "swoosh" as his bare feet stepped on it. Deep within the lush grass and trees, foraging birds were already peeking out; these birds resembled quails, adorned with pearl-like spots on their feathers. They appeared somewhat clumsy and looked rather foolish, as if they could not fly.
The air, mingled with a thin mist, was immediately filled with a thick, lingering stench. A rustling sound could be heard, though it was unclear whether it was the few night partridges busy moving house.
I fell asleep while cursing, and was awakened once in the night by the cold. The only downside of this small island is that it is quite hot during the day, but rather cold at night, resulting in a significant temperature difference
Sir Liu looked down and saw that he was stepping on a pile of dung that had split into three parts. The messy excrement was oozing out little points from between his toes, sticking to the ground.
It turns out that the feeling of being cared for by others is so wonderful! Liu Zhenhan felt an inexplicable sense of emotion in his heart
In the following days, apart from eating and drinking, Liu Zhenhan abandoned his plans to explore the entire island. He devoted his entire body and mind to the patch of melon seedlings. Not only did he build a shelter to protect the seedlings from wind and rain, but he also had Guoguo take a stick to guard the entrance all day long. At night, he would cover the seedlings with leaves and add a small bonfire to prevent frost and dew.
For an entire night, Liu Zhenhan ran back and forth, until finally, even the grass leaves used for wiping after his diarrhea were completely pulled out, and only then did his stomach settle.
I first place my hand on your shoulder to gauge your reaction, and then decide on the next course of action; or should I simply throw caution to the wind and directly turn raw rice into cooked rice? Liu Zhenhan playfully pinched the little fox's delicate pink face.
You two are my treasures! In this lifetime, I will not let you suffer even the slightest bit! Liu Zhenhan exclaimed to the sky, thinking to himself that you wouldn't understand anyway
At this moment, the clouds also stealthily slipped into the cloud layer, as if feeling shy to continue watching this enchanting scene.
In such a state of distraction, I almost burnt the salted fish.
Guoguo's originally golden fur was covered in mud, its little face smeared with blue and gray, and a blade of grass was stuck to its large ears. It was unclear which mouse hole it had crawled into to catch such a large mouse. Liu Zhenhan felt a deep pang of sympathy in his heart, holding it in his arms as it cried out in a flurry of distress.
The little fox tidied her hair and began to sing loudly. Liu Zhenhan noticed that an unapproachable aura of holiness suddenly emanated from the little fox. Her originally enchanting face and alluring figure were now unexpectedly shrouded by a strange presence.
Throughout the entire night, Liu Zhenhan had lost all interest in playing with Guoguo, his face long and drawn as he stared at the book. He kept unconsciously touching his nose. Guoguo noticed the suppressed anger within him and did not dare to provoke him. Instead, she quietly burrowed into the wolf fur blanket, her small eyes rolling around as she continuously stared at Liu Zhenhan.
Liu Zhenhan was overjoyed. Taking advantage of a few foolish birds surrounding their companion, he drew his bow once more and shot through two birds in one shot. Only then did the remaining birds scatter in a flurry, diving into the grass thicket
"I heard everything you just said..." said the little fox, her face turning red as she spoke.
The remaining few foolish birds stared blankly at their companion, who had been struck by a long arrow. They shook their long, beautiful feathers on their heads a few times and surrounded their deceased companion, making a "gurgling" sound with their beaks.
Uh... Liu Daguangren's face, though extremely thick-skinned, truly had nothing to say at this moment. His large face was burning red, even more so than a bonfire, as he looked around on the ground, searching for a hole to burrow into.
Liu Zhenhan laughed heartily, striding forward, ready to claim his prey. However, after just a few steps, a sound of "puff" was heard.
Damn it! Liu Zhenhan felt a sudden weight lift from his stomach, and he felt much more at ease.
The clear and moving melody seemed to emanate from the distant, silent sky. In this song, Liu Zhenhan, who was originally filled with a myriad of thoughts, began to calm down. Even Guoguo, who usually could not endure solitude, opened her mouth wide, watching the little fox.
Having emptied his stomach, Liu Zhenhan could not remain at ease for a few minutes. Just as he returned home, his stomach began to act up again, and he rushed back to the place where he had just experienced a severe bout of diarrhea. Fortunately, his underwear was easy to remove; otherwise, he would have been in a dire situation.
In a moment of utter darkness, Liu Zhenhan himself fell into a deep sleep.
First, he went to catch the bird that resembled a quail and tied it around his waist. Liu Zhenhan used his curved knife as a shovel, carefully scooping several piles of manure with melon seedlings onto large grass leaves. He cradled them in both hands and hurried back home.
There are no holes in the ground, only two shadows tightly embraced together
Before Liu Zhenhan joined the army, he worked at home planting cantaloupes and watermelons, although not the variety that was eaten a few days ago. Melon seedlings prefer dry conditions and are sensitive to water; when they sprout, it is necessary to pinch the seedlings and cover them with loose soil
Liu Zhenhan was nearly exhausted by the end, but fortunately, he had a habit of stockpiling supplies. The quantity of coconuts he had stored was sufficient, allowing him to continuously replenish his vitamins and water, barely maintaining the last bit of strength without collapsing.
"It must be that you unraveled the threads from your own robe to make this for me, right?" Liu Zhenhan bit his lip, feeling that this was indeed true
