Savage Addiction

The lunch is not a big one, one meat and two vegetables without soup, if it is served in Ning You's house, it can be said to be crude.

But I have to admit that Li Mu's craftsmanship is really good, with moderate saltiness and just the right level of spiciness, which perfectly suits Ning You's taste.

After eating a few chopsticks, Ning You's phone suddenly vibrated twice. He picked up the phone to unlock it, and found that it was a WeChat message from Li Chao.

【Li Chao: Picture.jpg】

[Li Chao: Eat big plate chicken for lunch, how about you? 】

As long as the mobile phone is still around, it will never be possible to be isolated from the world.

Ning You didn't reject chatting with Li Chao, he turned on the camera of his mobile phone, and was about to take pictures of the food on the table in a courteous way, but at this moment, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that Li Mu slowed down his eating speed, and was eating in a kind of way. Looking at him with indescribable eyes.

That look seemed to say: Is there something wrong with you city people who take pictures after eating a meal?

"No, I'll show it to my friends."

Ning You quickly pressed the shutter button, but before he clicked to send, Li Mu said, "Have a boyfriend."

This topic was too jumpy, Ning You didn't know how to react for a while, and asked in a daze: "What?"

"Who will send lunch to ordinary friends?" Li Mu said casually.

Ning You subconsciously wants to refute, because there are many people in his circle of friends who share their delicacies.

But thinking about it carefully, the dishes on the dining table are nothing more than ordinary home-cooked dishes, and they are not made by him. He really has no reason to share them.

Coming to this conclusion, Ning You was unwilling to let his behavior be defined by Li Mu, and he imagined several other situations, but in fact, as Li Mu said, no matter who you share this mediocre lunch with, There is no need.

It is only between lovers or ambiguous objects that they will do such fussy things.

"It's not a boyfriend." Ning You silently deleted the picture, and replied with the words "home cooking" in the dialog box.

In fact, with the relationship between him and Li Chao, they can share lunch with each other, but after the essence of this matter was defined by Li Mu, perhaps out of rebellious psychology, Ning You inexplicably felt a resistance, because the fiancé of the commercial marriage is not Not equal to his real boyfriend, Li Mu didn't guess right on this point.

Wanting to make an excuse, Ning You felt it was unnecessary.

Judging by Li Mu's appearance, it was obvious that he just said something casually and was not interested in his love life.

It was another matter that made Ning You a little concerned.

Li Mu opened his mouth to say it was her boyfriend, which meant that he saw Ning You's orientation.Ning You didn't deliberately hide this matter, so he didn't think it was too surprised, but for the first time in the past two days, he was curious about Li Mu's orientation.

This kind of rough guy must be a straight man of steel, right?

After lunch, Ning You took the initiative to clean up the dishes.

While he was washing the dishes, Li Mu had been busy in the yard, preparing food for Hari, weeding and fertilizing the vegetable garden, and the thing that caught Ning You's attention for a long time was... shoveling dung for the big yellow cattle.

Ning You once again refreshed her understanding of Li Mu, isn't this person afraid of getting dirty at all?

As soon as the shovel was shoveled down, the cow dung was scooped up like dirt. Ning You felt novelty—after all, he had never seen this scene before, and at the same time felt complicated—he, a person with a cleanliness, could actually watch it without any discomfort. People shovel cow dung.

But after staying with Li Mu for two days, Ning You has already begun to wonder if she is a fake clean freak.

The afternoon sun shines unobstructed into the yard, and the strong wind blows the clothes on the clothesline.Li Mu was very focused when he was working, maybe because he felt too hot, he took off his thick coat and wore a plaid shirt on his upper body, which was exactly the same as the one Ning You wore around his waist.

Ning You was not very proficient in washing dishes, and he had to peek at Li Mu through the window from time to time, so he washed the dishes in the sink for a long time in a daze.

When Li Mu's side had already finished their work, Ning You's side had just wiped off the water droplets on the plate.

Li Mu didn't plan to take a lunch break, he packed up his work tools, and was about to leave again on Hari, when Ning You came to the door of the cabin and stopped him: "Li Mu."

Li Mu grabbed the rein and looked back at Ning You.

"Can I sleep in bed while you're away?" Ning You asked.

Li Mu has never paid much attention to these things, he doesn't mind other people sleeping on his bed, but seeing Ning You wearing his clothes, her two calves shining white in the sun, he said, "No."

Ning You was a little disappointed, he didn't sleep well last night and wanted to take a nap, thinking that Li Mu wasn't at home and he could sleep on the bed, but Li Mu didn't agree.

He asked again: "Then can I go to patrol the mountains with you?"

Li Mu still answered the same: "No."

Ning You twitched the corners of her lips, and said dully: "Then you pay attention to safety."

It was just Ning You's whim to follow Li Mu to patrol the mountains. Since he is stuck here and can't get out, it's better to take this opportunity to broaden his horizons.

But this idea is really unrealistic. It is impossible for him to patrol the mountain with his butt naked, and he doesn't want to come into contact with that wild species again with his butt naked.

After Li Mu left, Ning You obediently took a nap on the floor.

When he woke up, the sunlight outside the window was still dazzling, and his legs were still sore as ever.However, after a full sleep, the mood is different, and the soreness of the legs has become irrelevant.

I turned on my phone and checked, but there was no message or call. This feeling was strange, but surprisingly refreshing.

Ning You opened the door of the cabin, wanting to see how the clothes were dry, but just as he took a step, he found a small thing wriggling by the wooden fence not far away.

The lump looked dirty, as if it had rolled around in the mud a few times.

After Ning You approached, she realized that this mess turned out to be a little fox.

Even if Ning You was not familiar with small animals, he could still tell that something was wrong with this little fox. The fur on its body was bald, and there seemed to be pus dripping from the corners of its eyes.

It was the first time Ning You encountered this situation, and she didn't know how to deal with it.He had never even had such close contact with a healthy fox, let alone this little fox was obviously sick.

After being at a loss for a while, Ning You finally chose to call Li Mu.

The little fox is not afraid of people at all, and when Li Mu rushed back from the outside without stopping, it still obediently stayed by Ning You's side.

"Li Mu, come and take a look." Before Li Mu dismounted, Ning You shouted impatiently, "Does it want us to help it?"

Li Mu walked over quickly, only took one look at the little fox, then picked it up from the ground, and said to Ning You, "I'll take it to the mountain to find a veterinarian."

"Are you going on a horse?" Ning You asked after Li Mu.

"Drive." Li Mu said.

"Then I will go too." Ning You said.

Li Mu turned his head and looked at Ning You's smooth calf. Ning You immediately understood what Li Mu meant, and said, "I'll just stay in the car and not get out."

"Then you hold it." Li Mu said and pushed the little fox over, and Ning You looked at the dirty fur, and didn't pick it up for a while, and it didn't matter if he didn't pick it up, but in the end he overcame his heart. Resisting, he hugged the little fox into his arms.

The warm body temperature came from the hand, aside from the experience of learning to ride a horse when I was a child, this is the first time Ning You has a real feeling for small animals in so many years.

"Is it all right?"

Sitting in the passenger seat of the pickup, Ning You put the little fox on his lap.The condition of the little fox was really bad. Ning You had no feelings for small animals at all, but he still felt worried when he saw the little fox lying on his lap limply.

"It's hard to say." Li Mu started the car, "Take it down first to have a look, Chief Lin's daughter is a veterinarian."

It took less than 5 minutes to drive from the mountain to the village.

The pickup eventually stopped at the gate of a log cabin, where a woman of indeterminate age was playing with a shepherd dog.

"Dolan, show me this fox."

Li Mu walked into the yard with the little fox in his arms. The Dolan he was talking about should be Chief Lin's daughter. Her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Chief Lin's, and she also had the same plateau red on her cheeks.

Ning You didn't get out of the car, he looked into the yard through the car window, and saw Dolan inspect the little fox, then frowned and shook his head at Li Mu.

Li Mu's face obviously became gloomy, he chatted with Dolan a few more words, and finally left the little fox there, and returned to the car by himself.

"Is it okay?" Ning You asked.

Li Mu didn't answer, started the car, turned around and drove up the mountain.

Ning You couldn't help stretching his neck and looking back until he could no longer see the little fox, then he retracted his head and asked Li Mu, "Is it seriously ill?"

"En." Li Mu replied expressionlessly.

"What's the disease?" Ning You asked.

"Kidney failure." Li Mu said.

"Why is this?" Ning You asked in surprise.

"There is a high probability that they ate food fed by tourists."

This is an area that Ning You has never been involved in. He asked uncertainly: "Can't they eat human food?"

"No." Li Mu frowned and said, "Animals are different from humans, they can't eat very salty things."

Ning You could clearly feel that Li Mu was angry. Although he knew that Li Mu's anger was definitely not aimed at him, he still consciously shut his mouth.

"I don't know why some people always like to feed wild animals," Li Mu continued, "Is it so easy to satisfy people by giving alms?"

Ning You always felt that Li Mu was not a person with a lot of emotional ups and downs, but it was obvious that this incident made him unable to restrain his emotions.

"Is the little fox still alive?" Ning You couldn't help asking.

"No." Li Mu said, "When it dies, Dolan will find a place to bury it."

Ning You was dumbfounded.

He had just hugged the little fox just now, and it seemed that his body temperature was still in his palm.

He looked at his hands and realized for the first time that man and nature are not a simple proposition.

"Li Mu." Ning You withdrew his gaze from his hands and looked at the people around him, "Why are you a forest ranger?"
