When Xing cast his net for the first time, he never thought that he would find the biggest trouble in his life.
The little orange fur ball was kicking around in the net, its black grape-like eyes staring at him, but when he put it into his arms, it quietly hooked his wrist with its tail.
He called her Dandan, fed her the fattest whitebait, and let her stamp plum blossoms on her blue cloth gown with her paws. When Lulu was jealous, she would drag the dog leash into the water, then tilt her head and wag her tail at him, as if asking for credit.
But when the boat passed through the dark forest, the clingy spirit suddenly scratched the side of the boat and screamed like crazy. The sobs in his throat were colder than the river water. Xingcai was shocked to realize that the pet he had raised was not a pet, but a little fox with the wild spirit flowing through his bones.
She ran three times.
The first time I ran after a boat lantern for half the night, my claws leaving bloody marks on the shore;
The second time he took a wild fruit and put it at his feet, his eyes were as bright as if he had hidden stars;
For the last time, she huddled in the old fishing net where she was fished out, plugging the gaps tightly with her furry body.
Xing squatted on the bow of the boat and laughed, poking the little head in the bamboo basket with his fingertips: "Aren't you going to leave?"
The fur ball shrank deeper, but the tip of its tail quietly wrapped around his finger, as warm as a small flame.
Later, every foggy morning, Xing always put an extra whitebait on the bow of the boat.
If you see orange shadows flashing past when the fog clears, you will know——
What he picked up was not a fox, but the sweetness that cannot be avoided in life.
