Chapter 226 White Deer and Red Fox 8
The Wolf King was obviously unwilling to not compete, and as for the Red Fox, no matter how well prepared he was, he could not guarantee that he would not meet the Wolf King in the future.
"Will it work?" The red fox hesitated.
"We have to try. It's cold now, let's go and have a chat when spring comes!" said the little white deer, looking at the wound on the red fox's body.
Otherwise, if they have to fight every time they meet, then Zijin's injuries will never heal, right?
The red fox hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
……
As the snow fell heavier, there was no animal activity outside. All the animals were either hibernating or hiding in their caves, not daring to go out.
Looking at the heavy snow outside that was already half a person's height, the little white deer shivered in the cave, and then squeezed into the straw pile.
Seeing this, the red fox surrounded the little white deer with its big furry tail and rubbed the little white deer's slightly cold forehead.
"What's wrong, are you cold?" the red fox asked sleepily.
"Yeah, it's windy and a little chilly." The little white deer nodded. Although it wasn't that cold, the snowflakes blowing in were still a little chilly.
The red fox stood up and took out a rabbit skin blanket from the corner.
"Then use this one, it's warm." The red fox rubbed the little white deer while sitting on the blanket.
"Ah."
Feeling the warmth coming from the blanket, the fox and the deer continued to sleep soundly in the snow-covered cave.
After an unknown amount of time, the little white deer slowly woke up. He noticed that the red fox next to him was sleeping soundly, so he quietly stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave without waking up the sleeping red fox.
At some point, the heavy snow stopped and even the biting cold wind became much weaker.
Feeling the rare warm sun in winter, the little white deer moved his stiff body comfortably. He had been in the cave for so long that he hadn't breathed the fresh air outside for a long time.
Looking at everything outside that was dyed white by the heavy snow, the little white deer standing at the entrance of the cave was eager to try, wondering what it would feel like to jump into the snow.
Just as he was about to move, he suddenly felt someone grabbing his neck.
When he turned around, he found it was a red fox. The little white deer smiled ingratiatingly.
"The snow outside is very deep. If you jump down, you won't be able to see the road." said the red fox. As he spoke, he threw a stone down. The stone disappeared in an instant.
"Okay! I'm a little hungry." The little white deer retracted his gaze and looked at the food in the cave.
"How about some pine nuts?" Looking at the remaining food in the cave, the red fox was a little embarrassed.
The fruits and other things had been eaten up a long time ago, and now only some dried fruits, dried meats, nuts and so on were left.
"Okay!" The little white deer nodded, looked at the snowy world outside, and suddenly asked, "By the way, are you going hunting? There should be some small animals running out in this weather."
"Yeah. There's not much food left in the cave. I'll go check outside." The red fox looked outside and nodded. Although the food in the cave would be enough to last until spring if they saved some, the red fox didn't want to let them starve.
Especially the little white deer. The meat on his body was fed by the red fox with great difficulty. If he starves and becomes thin, wouldn’t it be a waste of raising him?
After thinking for such a long time, the red fox understood his own feelings a little bit.
He didn't want to treat the little white deer as a reserve of food, nor did he just want to treat it as a companion. Instead, he wanted to turn it into his own partner, one who could always accompany him.
Even if he cannot give birth to little foxes, the red fox is willing. As for whether the little white deer is willing?
He picked up the little white deer, so naturally it belongs to him.
Looking at the well-behaved little white deer in the cave, the red fox barked a few times, then turned and walked out of the cave.
The snow outside was very thick, and the red fox standing on the snow looked like a red plum blossom, very beautiful and eye-catching. The little white deer could easily tell which one was him from a long distance.
In fact, the red fox's appearance is not suitable for hunting in winter because its fur is too bright. The orange-red fur is like a striking red light in winter, reminding other animals that there is something here.
Fortunately, the red fox's outstanding camouflage ability makes up for this shortcoming.
With his keen sense of smell, the red fox determined that there must be prey nearby. Although he was not sure what it was, it should not be difficult to deal with based on the smell.
The red fox hid itself in the snow and waited slowly. For a moment, the air was full of silence and there was no sound anymore.
After a while, a white hare appeared in the red fox's field of vision. It was carefully looking for food, not realizing the danger was approaching.
Seeing the hare running in front of it, the red fox seized the opportunity, jumped up, and pounced on the hare in an instant. The hare sensed the danger and immediately wanted to turn around and run away, but how could it outrun the red fox?
In just a blink of an eye, the red fox bit the hare's throat. With a snap, the hare's eyes lost their light, and blood dripped onto the snow, looking very beautiful.
In no time, after finishing breakfast, the red fox licked its mouth and fur, and then continued to squat.
……
Seeing the red fox walking away, the little white deer felt a little thirsty after eating some nuts and straw.
So he turned around and left the cave.
Looking at the frozen river in front of it, the thirsty little white deer searched around before finally finding a place with thin ice. It broke the ice and drank from it in big gulps.
After drinking, seeing that it was still early, the little white deer started to walk around the stream.
After a while, although we didn't see any big animals, we did see quite a few rabbits and other animals.
The little white deer was just about to catch a few rabbits to give the red fox a surprise, but suddenly he heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes not far away. The little white deer pricked up his ears alertly and looked in the direction of the sound.
Although he didn't see anything, the little white deer became alert. He quietly approached the place where the sound came from, and saw a gray little squirrel climbing up and down, as if transporting something.
Seeing this, the little white deer breathed a sigh of relief, and even had the mood to pick up the food that the little squirrel had placed on the ground, and then started eating it one bite at a time.
The angry little squirrel started to curse and squeak. The little white deer looked at it angrily while eating with big mouthfuls. The angry little squirrel was almost mad.
The little white deer stopped only when it was about 70% full, and did not forget to drink some water to digest the food.
