Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 2458 Adopt a Little Fox

Jin Lan sat with his back against the tree trunk for a long time, the wind blew through his hair and puffed up his sleeves, making him feel a light coolness.

But the loneliness also climbed up to his heart like a shadow, which made him sigh involuntarily.

At this time, he actually hoped that someone would be by his side.Or like before, when he was bored, he would go to the lake and play with the fish.

But looking around, the desert is full of long grasses, but not a single puddle can be found.

"It's really boring." Jin Lan smiled wryly and wanted to stand up, but when she pushed her hands behind her back, she immediately touched a furry thing.

Jin Lan's heart flinched, she thought it was a gopher.When he turned his head, he found that a small fox the size of a palm was shrinking beside him.

Maybe it was because Jin Lan's palm hurt it, or maybe it was because the wind blew over Jin Lan when she moved her body, so it wasn't that warm.The little fox stared at Jin Lan, and kept baring his teeth at him.

"Little thing, your eyes are so pretty." Jin Lan looked at the vicious little fox, and felt that its emerald green pupils were so beautiful.

As she said that, Jin Lan stretched out her hand, pinched the little fox by the back of the neck, picked it up, put it in her hand, and stroked it slowly.

The fox is so small, and its fur is also soft and fluffy.It is light and almost weightless in the palm of your hand, but it stares into a pair of green eyes full of spirituality and curiosity.

Jin Lan couldn't help smoothing the little thing's fur.The softness and warmth in his palm made him feel much relieved, and he was not so lonely and cold.

After a long time, Jin Lan put the little fox down and said softly, "I'm leaving tomorrow, so you should go home too. Don't run around anymore."

The little fox couldn't understand what Jin Lan was saying, but because Jin Lan put it on the ground, the wind blowing on its fur made it shiver.

This little fox is indeed too small, so small that he might not be able to survive without the care of the mother fox.

Jin Lan stood up and looked around, suddenly felt strange.

It stands to reason that such a small fox shouldn't run around by itself.Mother foxes are very vigilant and take great care of their children.But after touching it for so long, why didn't the mother fox come to look for it?
"Can you go home by yourself?" Jin Lan had to ask worriedly.Because such a small fox is not much bigger than a gopher, let alone flexible and alert.

How can the little fox understand?It just twisted its round and soft body towards Jinlan's side.

Before, she bared her teeth because Jin Lan pressed it, but now she seems to want to nestle into Jin Lan's arms.

"Are you cold?" Jin Lan hugged the little fox again, and the little fox curled up and squeezed into his palm, as if trying to keep warm.

But then, the little fox opened his mouth, and licked Jin Lan's palm with his pointed, slippery tongue.

The wound on Jin Lan's palm has healed a lot, the blood scabs have fallen off, and there is only a layer of pink tender flesh.So it was very itchy to be licked, and I couldn't help shrinking my palms.

But the more Jinlan shrunk, the more the little fox licked, and finally showed her small fangs, grinding back and forth in his palm.Looks like he's hungry.

Only then did Jin Lan confirm that this little fox was lost and couldn't find a home.

But do you want to adopt it?No way, the mother fox will be anxious if she loses her cubs.

Jin Lan rubbed the little fox's forehead to make it quiet for a while.Then look around, hoping to find the fox den and send the cub back.

However, there are long grasses as far as the eye can see, and the sight is limited at night, and the fox's den is usually very hidden, so it is impossible to find it.

"Where will it be?" Jin Lan felt that this little thing had short legs and a round body, so it was impossible for him to run very far.Then its home should be nearby.

Jin Lan turned around again, wanting to see where there might be foxes' dens, and couldn't help but smile when she saw the tree behind her.This is called "only because of being in this mountain".

Jin Lan turned to the back of the tree and saw that there was indeed a tree hole underneath.But the hole is not deep, and a mat made of hay can be vaguely seen inside.

But as soon as she got close to the entrance of the cave, she smelled a bad smell, which made Jin Lan frown involuntarily.

Foxes themselves have a bad smell, but mature foxes can be bathed, and the clean ones will have no smell.

This little fox was also a bit smelly, but it was still milky, so Jin Lan didn't dislike it either.

But now near the entrance of the cave, the head hurts from the smelly smell.And carefully distinguish, it's not just the smell of foxes, but also a smell of corruption.

The food collected by the vixen spoiled in the hole?Or other reasons?
Supporting the little fox in one hand, Jin Lan took out a fire pocket.Half-kneeling at the entrance of the cave, he blew on the torch and moved towards the entrance of the cave.

Jin Lan was cautious at first, he knew that animals are afraid of fire, and worried that the mother fox would be frightened while still in the cave.

But he didn't expect that just as he poked the fire bag into the hole, he saw a fire fox that had been dead for a long time.

That fox should be a female fox, because the breasts under her body are still swollen.But its hind leg has been rotten to the bone, and it seems that the injury of its hind leg should be the reason for its death.

The little fox huddled in Jinlan's hand, and seemed to be able to see a little bit of what was going on in the cave.Or it knew that something happened to the female fox, so it screamed "Zhi Zhi".

Jin Lan hurriedly moved her hands to appease the little fox first.Then think about what to do?
At this time, the fire folder in Jin Lan's hand was blown by the wind, and the flame jumped, illuminating a deeper place in the cave.

Jin Lan looked over with a "huh" and found that it was a dry food bag with a hole in it.

"It turned out to be it." Jin Lan looked at the little fox in her hand, and at the broken dry food bag in the cave, and remembered the time when his dry food was stolen.

Now it seems that the female fox may have been pregnant at the time, so she searched for food and found her head.

Now it's even more coincidental, the mother fox died, and the little fox found him again.Could this be considered a kind of fate?
Thinking of this, Jin Lan picked up the little fox and looked at it, and saw that its pair of green pupils were very spiritual, and it also looked a bit pitiful.I couldn't bear it, so I put it in my arms.

Then Jin Lan found some hay and stuffed it into the hole, covering the body of the female fox.Another clod was dug to seal the hole, and finally a large stone was found to block the outside of the sealed tree hole.

This was the last thing Jin Lan could do for the mother fox.

Then Jin Lan took out the little fox, only to find that it had fallen asleep in her arms.
