fox and late

Quanzhou is located in the westernmost part of Chu State, close to the largest misty forest in Chu State. Although Quanzhou is at the most border, it is the most prosperous place in Chu State. And because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, here has gradually evolved into a small country. , the three religions and nine streams all gather here.

And Shang Wanchi is the youngest daughter of Shangshahou, the biggest merchant in Quanzhou City. She is eighteen years old and has not yet married in her boudoir. She has three older sisters who are all married as wives and have become victims of the merchant's interests.

Shang Wanchi raised her head to look at the sky, with a slight smile on her lips, her eyebrows and eyes slightly curved, and there were tiny glimmers of light inside, and the light and soothing breeze lifted her blue hair to float and entangle in the air.

"Qiao'er, where's the father?" Shang Wanchi turned his head to look at Qu'er who was standing beside him and asked.

Qu'er lowered his eyes and lowered his head, "There is something wrong with the shop in Dazhou. The master has already left for Dazhou this morning."

Shang Wanchi closed his eyes and thought about it. It would take three days to get to Zhoukuai from Quanzhou, plus he had to deal with the shops in Dazhou, which meant that his father would be away from the mansion for at least seven or eight days.The corner of Shang Wanchi's mouth curled up into a slight smile, his eyes shone brightly, and his whole body was radiated with a lot of vitality.

"Get ready, tomorrow we will go for an outing in the misty forest."

Qu'er hesitated for a while, finally nodded slightly, and then asked: "Do you need to bring the guard?"

Shang Wanchi thought about it and decided to forget it. It was too ostentatious to take the guards along. They were going for an outing, so it was inconvenient to take them with them.

"No, just bring a driver." Shang Wanchi shook his head and said.

"Yes."

Early the next morning, the carriage had already stopped at the gate of the mansion, and the coachman quickly pulled up the curtain when he saw Shang Wanchi coming out, so that Shang Wanchi could enter directly with his bow.

Shang Wanchi nodded lightly to the coachman, stepped on the ladder to get into the carriage, and Qu'er followed closely behind.

After putting down the curtain, the coachman yelled and reminded: "Miss, sit down, let's go." Then he whipped the horsewhip, and the black horse in front pulled the carriage forward rattling because of the pain. up.

Qu'er looked at the lady who lifted the curtains and looked at the street outside quietly, and sighed lowly. She was five years older than Shang Wan, and she had always treated her like her younger sister. Looking at her all the time, Changes, my heart is also distressed for her.

"Master will be angry if you know that you go out without authorization." Although it hurts, she must speak clearly so that she can be mentally prepared.

Shang Wanchi looked away from the stream of people passing by on the pavement outside the car, put down the curtain of the car, looked at Qu'er lightly and said, "I know." Of course she knew, as long as she did something that didn't suit him What time did you not get angry?She didn't want to be like this, like a chess piece pinched in someone else's hands, without freedom at all, but she also knew that her current resistance looked so ridiculous.

Zhe'er lowered her head and said nothing, some words can be said to the end, there is no need to say too much.

Shang Wanchi didn't speak again, took out a white jade flute and wiped it lightly, with a gentle expression as if treating a lover, if this gentle and affectionate appearance falls into the eyes of outsiders, I'm afraid they will fall into this gentle vortex for no reason In the middle, I can't get out.

"Miss, we're here." After a while, the coachman's voice sounded to remind him, he parked the car under a big tree, opened the curtain and waited for Shang Wanchi and the others to come out.

The morning comes late, and the moist air in the morning is especially fresh in this forest. The refreshing freshness is like a spring that can cleanse the soul, allowing people to relax and relieve fatigue in this natural morning.

Shang Wanchi smiled. There are not many opportunities to enjoy this kind of situation, so Shang Wanchi cherishes it very much every time.

"You guys wait here, I'll go and have a look at other places." Shang Wanchi said to Que'er and the others. At this moment, she really wanted to go out for a walk alone, to enjoy the scenery of her own space.

Qu'er frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "Miss, there are many wild animals in the forest here, it's better not to run around."

Shang Wanchi smiled faintly, looked into the distance and said longingly, "I won't go too far, besides, this is the outskirts, there are many people passing by, so I won't encounter any wild beasts."

Qu'er hesitated for a while, then nodded, "Miss, be careful, if something happens to you, just yell loudly."

Shang Wanchi chuckled lightly, and nodded with a smile, as if she answered her words.

There is a river where they are staying at the moment, the clear river is flowing, the pebbles at the bottom of the river are swaying like ripples, and occasionally a small fish slips through the swaying aquatic plants, evokes a slender fish. The stream disappears between the stone cracks, so quiet and smooth.

Shang Wanchi walked slowly downstream, sometimes squatting down and looking down at the fish swimming freely in the water, and sometimes raising his head and closing his eyes to bask in the fresh and natural scenery.

After walking for a long time, Shang Wanchi saw a big stone by the river. He stepped on it carefully, took off his shoes and socks, and put his feet into the water. The river water was still slightly cool in the morning, and the flowing water was soft. Wrapping your feet and flowing past, you feel comfortable in your heart.

"Huh?" Shang Wanchi felt a little strange, as if some soft hair was brushing the soles of his feet, he quickly retracted his feet and looked down to see a snow-white tail swaying in the water, bobbing and sinking with the waves.

Shang Wanchi frowned and looked at the tail carefully. It was indeed the tail of a land animal, but how could it be in the water?After hesitating for a while, he reached out and gently grabbed the tail and lifted it up, and a small animal with all the hair on its body because of the wetness was lifted out of the water.

"Huh? It looks like a fox. How could it be in the water? Is it dead?" Shang Wanchi murmured in a low voice, dragging her hands under the ribs of the little fox and lifting her up to him. I closed my eyes and didn't respond, I really didn't know if it was dead or alive.

Gently leaning your head against its heart, there is still a little heartbeat proving that it is still alive, and then carefully looking at its body, and found that its back is really slowly oozing blood at this moment, presumably because it was soaked in water before , the blood was washed away, and it will only be seen on the shore at this moment.

He took out the veil and carefully rubbed its hair dry, then tore off the hem of his clothes with great effort and carefully wound the wound on the fox's back, then unbuttoned the coat and held it in his arms, warmly When the hot skin touched the damp and cold hair, he couldn't help but shiver all over.

The eyelids of the fox in her arms trembled slightly, and finally he opened his eyes a little with difficulty, dimly saw Shang Wanchi's slightly serious face with pursed lips, and finally passed out completely because of the unbearable .

But Shang Wanchi didn't know anything about the fox in his arms. After carefully putting on the shoes and socks, he hugged the fox and walked quickly to the way he came. There was still some wound medicine in the car, so he applied it on it for the time being. Go back to Fuchu and try to find a solution.

"Small, miss, you, you." As soon as Zhe'er looked up, she saw that the young lady was a little disheveled, with an arched chest. It wasn't until she got closer that she realized that the young lady was holding a snow-white fox in her arms!She was so startled that her eyes widened. After going out for a while this time, why did she bring back a fox?

"Get in the carriage and bring the medicine box. Forget it, let's go back to the carriage." Shang Wanchi didn't explain to Qu'er, and walked towards the carriage on his own. As for the coachman, he had already bowed his head when he saw the young lady like this at first. Step aside, not daring to look any further.

Shang Wanchi carefully placed the little fox on the blanket aside, and shook the little fox away from the warm embrace, and couldn't help shrinking his body into a ball.

Shang Wanchi smiled softly, took out the medicine box sideways, took out the golden sore medicine inside, and then untied the cloth strips wrapped around the fox's body. The cloth strips that wrapped the wound were also stained with blood. And the blood red on the fox's snow-white fur is even more dazzling.

Shang Wanchi frowned, poured the golden sore medicine carefully and evenly on the wound, and then wrapped it up with gauze.

Qu'er watched from the side the whole time, although he was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions.

Shang Wanchi hugged the fox back into his arms again, raised his hand to gently stroke its head, and said softly to Qu'er, "Clean it up, shall we go back?"

"Ah? So early?" Qu'er couldn't figure out why the young lady had to go back early after she finally came out.

"Bring me the best veterinarian in the city to come to my house when I go back." Shang Wanchi lowered his head and stroked its head, but didn't answer Qu'er's question, but said something else.

Qu'er looked down at the fox in the lady's arms, nodded understandingly, got out of the car and packed up the things just prepared with the driver, and then set off for home.

"Miss Shang, I can't do anything about this fox's injury. Whether it can live or not depends on its nature. I can only prescribe some gentle prescriptions to take care of it." The veterinarian shook his head. The injury was too serious, except for the wound on the back, all internal organs were wounded, and I don't know how such a small fox was injured like this.

Shang Wanchi caressed the fur of this fox, the little snow-white one was very cute, but now lying on the soft couch so lifeless, he felt a little worried and distressed.

Shang Wanchi nodded, but his gaze remained on the fox, and he said softly: "Then please write it up and hand it over to Zhe'er, Zhe'er, when the time comes, go to the cashier and give the doctor some money, please let him run away." It's so far."

"Okay, miss." Qu'er replied, leading the veterinarian to the door.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr., I hope these wishes will be taken care of." Qu'er said as he handed the silver bag to the veterinarian.

"This is what I should do. Don't be so polite, girl. These are some prescriptions for strengthening the foundation and improving the income. The points that should be paid attention to are written on it. I hope the girl will keep it." The veterinarian took the silver bag, Pass the prescription you just wrote to Quer.

Qu'er took it and looked at it, then nodded slightly to the veterinarian, "Thank you, this way please, I'll take you out."

Shang Wanchi looked at the little fox quietly, stroking its smooth fur with his hand.She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to bring it back, she could feel that she loved it from the bottom of her heart, but when thinking of her father, Shang Wanchi couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"You are from my Shangfu, how can you lose your mind by playing with things! Come on, throw this animal out of the Shangfu for me!" Shang Xiahou's gloomy and indifferent expression at that time is still firmly in his mind at this moment.

Shang Wanchi lowered his eyes, looking a little helpless, holding the fox in his arms, looking for that little comfort.
