The little fox does not want to hide the cub

Li Ruan was really aggrieved.

The legs of the wild pheasant are the most tender and delicious part of the whole body. He is reluctant to eat it himself, so he deliberately saves it until the end.Giving one to this mortal is already reluctant to give up, now that he is given both, can he not feel bad?

Li Ruan was so sad that her ears drooped, and she even forgot to keep a distance from the man.

The reason for keeping the distance is naturally not that Jiang Shen guessed that he was afraid of people, on the contrary, Li Ruan was worried about scaring him.This mortal has been frightened and passed out by him once, what if he frightened him to death again?

Li Ruan decided to proceed step by step, keeping a distance and pretending to be an ordinary fox.

As for double cultivation, it won't be too late to mention it after he has taken care of the man's body and the man fully accepts him.

Li Ruan felt that there would not be a fox demon who was more caring than himself in this world.

But the man didn't seem to understand his good intentions at all.

He just stared at him, looked at him, couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Li Ruan: "?"

Too much.

Li Ruan immediately ignored her grievances, and swiped her tail in displeasure.If it weren't for the fact that the mortal's injuries were not healed, he would have beaten them.

The chuckle caused a dull pain in his chest, Jiang Shen coughed a few times, took a few more breaths, and finally calmed down.

He didn't do it on purpose, it's really... This little fox is too cute.

The body shape of a little fox is much smaller than that of an ordinary fox, and it is closer to the juvenile state of a fox.But ordinary young mountain foxes do not have such brightly colored, fluffy and soft fur.Especially when it squats down and rolls up its body habitually with its tail, it looks like a fluffy ball at first glance.

Coupled with that lively little expression, it's hard not to be likable.

Jiang Shen felt a little itchy.

I would love to touch it.

It's a pity that it's very unfortunate that Jiang Shen is now lying horizontally beside the fire, and the little fox is squatting on his left.Because of the injury to his left shoulder, he still can't lift his left hand.

I can only give up for the time being.

Jiang Shen has liked these fluffy animals since he was a child, such as kittens, dogs and birds, he always kept them in the bedroom in different ways when he was a child.

Because of this, when he was young, he was often scolded by his father, queen and empress for playing with things and losing his mind.

As the crown prince, he was born with heavier burdens and responsibilities than ordinary people, and he was even more involuntary.Therefore, after his father ordered to kill all the small animals he kept in the palace, he never touched these little guys again.

Thinking of this, the smile on Jiang Shen's face subsided slightly.

Li Ruan felt that mortals were sometimes really difficult to understand.

For example, now, he doesn't understand at all, well, why the man's mood is suddenly a little low.

He tilted his head, and just opened his mouth to ask, but then remembered his plan to pretend to be an ordinary fox, and quickly raised a paw to cover his mouth, holding back the words that came to his mouth.

It's really strange for a fox to do this action, but Li Ruan has been a person for hundreds of years and has just been beaten back to his original form, so it's hard to adjust his behavior for a while.

Sure enough, the man noticed it too, and raised his eyes to look at it.

The little fox hurriedly pretended to lick his paws, and looked at him innocently: "Aw... ow?"

The call was very light and soft, like a small hook, gently scratching in my heart.

However, he couldn't fool Jiang Shen like this.

Being so human, and behaving like a human being, it reminded Jiang Shen of fainting before the bottom of the cliff, as if he had heard this little guy spit out people's words.

It's just that he just fell off the cliff at that time, and lay in the snow for a long time, his consciousness was confused.Looking back now, he's not really sure if that really happened or if it was just a dream he had.

Jiang Shen thought for a while, then deliberately asked: "Why don't you talk to me anymore, don't you know how to talk?"

The little fox blinked, then tilted his head again, with a puzzled expression, as if he couldn't understand what he was saying.

Pretending to be like that.

Jiang Shen pursed his lower lip, not in a hurry to continue testing it.

The little fox dragged him into the cave, lit a fire for him to keep warm, and distributed food to him, which proved enough that it would not harm him.

Jiang Shen went to Beijing secretly this time, and now it is confirmed that the secret letter summoning him to Beijing is false, and no one knows his whereabouts except the mastermind behind the scenes.Therefore, most likely no one will come to this mountain to rescue him.

He was seriously injured, and continuing to hide here to recuperate is the best choice at present.

This little fox has no malicious intentions, which is the best thing for Jiang Shen.

As for whether it was a little monster or not, he would find out sooner or later.

Jiang Shen pondered for a moment, and quickly made a decision.He turned his head to look at the two chicken legs that the little fox had put in his hand, and said, "You are raw, I don't eat raw food."

Li Ruan: "?"

Mortals are so troublesome.

Li Ruan has cultivated in the mountains for hundreds of years, and has hardly dealt with ordinary people.But in retrospect, he seems to have heard that most mortals like to light a fire to cook, and rarely eat raw food.

But after the food is cooked, doesn't the meat become dry, how can it compare to fresh ones?

Can't understand.

Li Ruan looked at him.

They have already grown so thin, they are still picky eaters.

Mortals are really hard to raise.

But there was no way, he had waited for half a month for this mortal, and he couldn't just starve to death like this.Li Ruan murmured in his heart that he would be reckless, and lowered his head to pick up the chicken leg, intending to throw it into the fire to roast it for him.

Just picked it up, and heard the man say: "Wait."

"Are you going to bake like this?"

Li Ruan's ears twitched.

How about not?

You can't expect a fox to help him peel off the skin and bones, and then fry it in the pan.

It's too hard for a fox.

The man sighed: "I'll do it myself, can you find some branches for me, they should be stronger."

Li Ruan narrowed his eyes.

just you?

Perhaps the body language of the little fox was so vivid that Jiang Shen completely understood its meaning.He supported his body with his good right hand, and slowly sat up from the hay.

Jiang Shen has practiced martial arts since he was a child. These injuries will affect his movements, but they are not completely immobilized.

Even so, such a simple action still caused a thin layer of sweat to form on his forehead.

Jiang Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand to the little fox: "Give it to me."

Li Ruan looked him up and down for a moment, put the chicken leg in his hand, turned around and ran out of the cave.

Jiang Shen watched the bright red disappear into the hole, looked away amidst the crackling firewood, suddenly shook his head and chuckled: "Now you can understand human speech so clearly again, stupid fox."

Not long after, the little fox came back with the branch.

Hearing Jiang Shen's words, all he looked for were thick and sturdy branches that were one to two fingers wide, tied with a vine, and there was a big bundle.

Among the branches, there was a kind of grass that Jiang Shen had never seen before.

"This is..." Jiang Shen picked it up and smelled it, "Herbal medicine?"

The little fox nodded, puffed out his chest proudly, and pricked up his fluffy pointed ears.

As hell.

The man took the life-extending pill, but the wounds on his body still needed to be dealt with, especially the wound on his shoulder, which was still oozing blood.

Li Ruan originally planned to help him find herbs after eating.

Jiang Shen was amused by the little fox's action, and complimented very cooperatively: "It's amazing."

It is so powerful that even a three-year-old would not believe it is not a demon.

Jiang Shen didn't rush to clean the wound, but handed the two chicken legs to the little fox again.While waiting for the little fox to come back, he had already cleaned the hair off the chicken leg, and he wanted to trouble it to take it to the side of the water and wash it.

After the blood stains are washed away, they are skewered with twigs and slowly baked by the fire.

Although Jiang Shen is the crown prince, he doesn't have the kind of temperament to stretch out his clothes and open his mouth.When he was 16 years old, he invited himself to go to the border, and went in and out with the soldiers for two years, which was not difficult for him.

Bandaging yourself too.

Li Ruan ran out a few more times, picked the cleanest snow from the treetops, wrapped it in wide leaves, and dragged it back to the cave.After the snow is melted, it can be used as clean water.

After finishing these, Li Ruan squatted beside the fire, watching the man bandage himself.

Probably because the wound still hurts badly, the man's movements are slow, not particularly skillful.Li Ruan looked at it for a while, and his attention was unconsciously attracted by the grilled chicken legs beside him.

Because...it's so, delicious!

This pheasant is very fat, and it was roasted for a while, and the aroma of the heated fat wafted throughout the cave.Li Ruan stared at the oily flowers that kept coming out, swallowed, and realized for the first time that the roasted chicken legs were so fragrant.

If I knew it, I would have kept one for myself.

But Li Ruan thinks that he is a fox demon with integrity, and there is no reason to return the things he sent out.He glanced at the grilled chicken leg, then at the man in front of him, stood up silently, and took a step back.

No, you can still smell the fragrance, take a step back.

Take one more step back.

So, after Jiang Shen took care of the wound, and looked up, the little fox was about to hide outside the cave.

Still looking eagerly at the grilled chicken legs by the fire.

"Do you want to eat?" Jiang Shen's tone was casual, deliberately teasing him, "If you want to eat, you have to talk, how will I know if you don't tell me?"

If he wanted to trick the fox into revealing that he could speak human language, he wasn't a fool, so he wouldn't fall for it.

Li Ruan shook his head firmly.

Don't eat, don't want to eat at all.

"Don't eat? That's fine..." Jiang Shen seemed rather regretful.

This method of roasting wild game was taught to him by a veteran when he was stationed in the army.The distance that is not too far and not too close can just roast the meat until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. In addition to the fresh and tender meat of the game itself, even if the seasoning is in short supply sometimes, the taste will not be bad.

Jiang Shen took the chicken leg and took a bite of the skin, the mellow and juicy taste of the chicken exploded between his lips and tongue.

This cave is not too big, but the entrance of the cave seems to be covered by dense tree shade, not much light can penetrate, so Jiang Shen can't tell what time it is.The previous physical discomfort overwhelmed the hunger, but now that he had eaten, he felt that his stomach was already hungry.

But even so, Jiang Shen's actions did not appear impatient at all.

He ate very slowly, chewing every bite carefully, and his gestures seemed to be inherently elegant and reserved.

While eating, he glanced at the little fox in the distance from the corner of his eye.

The little fox still sat quietly in place.

It rolled itself into a fluffy pompom again, and even its ears drooped, making it look rounder than before.Those clear eyes stared fixedly at Jiang Shen, without saying a word, it seemed as if he had been greatly wronged.

Especially every time Jiang Shen took a bite, the tip of the tail hanging on the ground would lightly wag, and then curl up low.

It looks very guilty.

Jiang Shen: "..."

Jiang Shen sighed and stopped teasing him: "Come here, the rest is for you."

The little fox blinked, as if he couldn't believe it.

Seeing that it was still hesitating, Jiang Shen picked up the branch with the chicken legs on it, and said intentionally, "I'll count to three, I'll eat it if you don't want it. One, two..."

There was a gust of wind in the cave.

The little fox's movements were nimble and light, it quickly ran to Jiang Shen's side, and jumped up.Jiang Shen felt the soft fluff sweeping across the back of his hand, and the chicken leg had been taken away by the little fox.

As if worried that Jiang Shen would go back on his word, it took half a step back, turned its back to Jiang Shen, lay down on the ground and began to eat with relish.

The little fox was very close this time, with distinct fluff, its fluffy tail swiped happily behind it, and when the tip of its tail swept past, it was only a stone's throw away from Jiang Shen.

Jiang Shen twirled his fingers, tickled by the fleeting touch just now.

Even for people who are not interested in small animals at all, with such a fluffy little thing squatting at hand, it is hard not to touch it.

Jiang Shen stared at the bonfire in front of him, his face remained calm, he counted the time and quietly lowered his hands, and after a while he really felt a little soft touch from his fingertips.

Silky soft, slightly cool, fleeting.

It was the little fox's tail that accidentally swept his hand.

It seems that because he was too focused on eating, the little fox didn't notice any abnormality at all.The tail was still swinging back and forth cheerfully, Jiang Shen took advantage of the opportunity to hook it with his fingertips, and even squeezed his fingers lightly on the tip of the opponent's tail.

Now the little fox finally felt something was wrong.It turned around and blinked blankly.

Jiang Shen withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened: "It's okay, you continue to eat."
