Chapter 6: The Fox Girl

Before dusk that day approached, Li He and the other two came to an unknown hill, preparing to find a suitable place to stay overnight.

Because he had not found the 'next village' mentioned by Li Ying for a long time, the hungry Peng Chou began to complain: "If I had known that I would have left some wine and vegetables in that village, it would be better than being hungry..."

Li Ying smiled and said, "Okay, instead of complaining, it's better to see where there are rivers nearby and catch a few fish to fill their stomachs."

"Eat fish again?" Peng Chou looked unhappy.

To be honest, after eating the bland and tasteless grilled fish for a few days, let alone this reckless man, even Li He was tired of it.

But what can I do?

Who told them that they had no money?

Because they had no money, when they saw a city on their way to come, they didn't consider entering the city either.

"Some of them are good to eat." Li Ying said with a smile.

Hearing this, Peng Chou complained and looked around.

At this time, the three of them had deviated from the Fen River waterway. Although there was an unknown river at the foot of the mountain not far away, there were more fish in the river than the Fen River. It took some effort to catch one.

A fish is definitely not enough for three people to eat.

Just as the three of them were staring at the only fish, a wolf howl suddenly sounded from the mountain beside them.

Li Ying immediately had an idea and turned to Li He and said, "How about getting some wild game up the mountain and bake it?"

Perhaps because Li Ying and Peng Chou took the initiative to help him and defeat the bandits who invaded the village, Li He's attitude towards the two changed slightly.

After hearing Li Ying's words, Li He licked his lips and expressed his agreement: "That's all we can do."

To be honest, after eating grilled fish for a few days, he felt really tired of it, so it would be nice to switch to barbecue.

So the three of them went up the mountain.

Any experienced hunter knows to leave the forest before dusk, so as not to catch wild animals in the mountains after the sky becomes dark, especially for fear of encountering jackals, tigers and leopards.

But obviously Li He and Peng Chou are not afraid of these things. When Li Ying mentioned being careful of tigers and leopards, Peng Chou even licked his lips excitedly: "I haven't eaten tiger meat yet!"

To be honest, Li He has never eaten it, and is very curious about it. After all, in his previous understanding, tigers are already an endangered protected animal. Catching and killing them at will will cause imprisonment. Unlike here, hunting and killing tigers will not only not be questioned, but may become famous because of this.

"Aowu--"

"Aowu--"

At this time, a few more wolf howls came from the mountain...

Li Ying stopped suddenly and asked inquisitively: "Have you heard that there seems to be a woman... no, it seems to be a little girl crying?"

“…”

Li He frowned and looked at the surrounding forests, and whispered: "Go up and take a look."

The three of them speed up the mountain.

On the way, the three of them heard the howls of wolves from time to time, and there was a faint cry of a little girl, accompanied by sobs and crying like "Go away" and "Help".

Seeing this, the three of them accelerated their pace again and searched in the direction where the sound came. Soon, they found a tree surrounded by four or five wolves in the mountains and forests.

When I looked at the tree again, a little girl who was about ten years old was standing on the branch holding the trunk, trembling and crying: "Go away! Let's go!"

Perhaps because he smelled a human smell, the four and five wolf wolves turned their heads to look at Li He and the other two, bared their teeth and roared in a low voice.

Immediately, the five beasts gave up the little girl in the tree and forced Li He and the other two towards him.

Li He and the other two remained silent in response to this.

Li Ying fucked the stick in his hand and asked casually: "How about roasting a wolf tonight?"

"Have you eaten it?" Li He said with a frown, "It doesn't look like he has meat..."

Peng Chou rubbed his palms and licked his lips and said, "I'll slaughter and roast them all, and I'll be full."

As soon as the three of them finished speaking, the five wolves rushed towards the three of them, one of them jumped up and rushed straight towards Li He.

Seeing this, Li He threw out the sharp sword in his hand. With a "whip" sound, the sharp sword penetrated the wolf's abdomen and caused the wolf to fall to the ground with a bang.

The next moment, he pinched the throat of the other wolf accurately, and with a click, he directly pinched the throat bone. The wolf, which was originally fiercely bared at him, suddenly fell down.

On the other side, Peng Chou grabbed the flesh behind the neck of a wolf with his back hand, and threw it hard, causing the other two wolf to stagger back.

The wolf in his hand acted as if he wanted to bite him, but Peng Chou also broke his neck bone.

Seeing these two ferocious men killing three wolfs as soon as they meet, Li Ying secretly sighed that his wife had different fates. After all, he did not have the brute force like Li He and Peng Chou to tear the jackals.

Fortunately, he still had a long stick in his hand, and there were two evil men, Li He and Peng Chou, so there would be no danger. As long as he protects himself, the two evil men would be enough to kill these five beasts.

Not only in the blink of an eye, Li He and Peng Chou shot all the five wolves to death. Seeing Li Ying couldn't help but say inwardly: "Monster."

The little girl hiding in the tree was obviously stunned, stepping on the branches, hiding half of her body behind the trunk, and blinking at the three people with her still crystal clear eyes, but she didn't dare to say anything for a long time.

"It's okay, come down, little girl."

Peng Chou greeted the little girl hiding in the tree with a relaxed look on his face, and acted to stretch out his hands, as if he was about to carry the little girl down.

But when he saw his face full of flesh, the little girl screamed in fear and hid her body behind the trunk.

“…”

The smile on Peng Chou's face suddenly solidified.

"Hahaha."

Li Ying laughed, patted Peng Chou, who was dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "Okay, just your appearance, don't scare the little girl..."

After saying that, he looked up with a smile and said, "Little girl, don't worry, the three of us are not bad people, we later saved you after hearing your call for help... Can you come down by yourself?"

Compared to Peng Chou's fierce face, Li Ying can be regarded as having a pretty face, so the little girl was not afraid of Li Ying. After looking down at the height of the branch she was standing on, she shook her head timidly.

Seeing this, Li Yingyi stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "Then like this, you jump down and I will catch you."

The little girl nodded hesitantly and then looked at Li Ying's side, but did not move for a long time.

Li Ying turned to look beside him, and then he found that Li He was standing beside him.

Looking at Li He with an innocent face, and then looking at the little girl on the tree who was reluctant to speak, Li Ying's smile on his face was a little embarrassed and said with a little embarrassment: "This girl doesn't seem to be afraid of you... You're the one who's the one who makes me?"

Li He didn't say anything nonsense, stretched out his hands to signal the little girl to jump down.

The little girl plucked up the courage, jumped down with her eyes closed, and was held in her arms by Li He, and steadily placed her on the ground.

When Li He took back his hands, the little girl's face turned red. She looked up at Li He, and her face suddenly turned redder. She held back her shyness and said gratefully: "Thank you... Thank you for saving me..."

Seeing that the little girl couldn't even look at her, Peng Chou was so angry that he said dissatisfied: "Little girl, I have a share to save you, why are you thanking him?"

The little girl realized that she had neglected her benefactor and hurriedly thanked Peng Chou and Li Ying, "Thank you, both... uncles for helping you."

uncle?

Not to mention that Peng Chou's expression frozen in an instant, even the smile on Li Ying's face froze.

After all, they are only twenty-two or three, why are they uncles?

However, after a closer look at this little girl who was about ten years old, Li Ying couldn't refute it.

He just glanced at Li He, who was called the eldest brother, and looked at Li He's appearance that made him envious, and muttered: "Being good-looking is just taking advantage..."

Li He rolled his eyes, ignored someone's envy and jealousy, squatted down and asked the little girl in front of him, "Little girl, are you okay?"

After the little girl shook her head and said she was fine, he asked again: "What's your name? Why are you alone on the mountain? Where are your parents?"

The little girl showed a forced smile on her face, and then replied in a bell-like voice: "Brother, call me Ayue, I am from the Hu Family Village nearby. I went up the mountain to collect firewood today. Unexpectedly, I encountered a wolf when I went down the mountain. I was frightened and fled to the tree..."

At this time, Li Ying walked over with a basket on his back and said with a smile: "Fortunately you escaped quickly... Is this yours?"

"Um."

The little girl named A Yue nodded, took the backpack full of branches from Li Ying, and thanked him: "Thank you uncle."

"……You're welcome."

Li Ying's mouth twitched twice, and he muttered to himself, "I don't have the same knowledge as a child." He forced a smile and said, "It's dark, let's take you down the mountain first. Where is the village you live in?"

"Just not far from the foot of the mountain, I'll take you there."

A Yue carried the basket on her back and called Li He and the other two to go down the mountain together.

Seeing this, Li He and the other two picked two relatively strong wolf corpses, and Peng Chou resisted them on his shoulders and followed the little girl.

After a while, the group went down the mountain. At this time, the sky was getting darker. Fortunately, Ayue was very familiar with the terrain in the nearby area, so she soon brought the three of them to the village where she lived, a village called "Fox Family".

When the group of four arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a group of people standing at the entrance of the village, holding torches and standing around, not knowing what they were doing.

Suddenly, someone shouted in surprise: "Ayue, it's Ayue who is back."

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads one after another and smiled at the same time.

"This girl..."

"It's fine."

"Who are those people behind A Yue?"

Accompanied by a burst of relief, the group of people immediately surrounded him, all of whom were young in their teens and twenty years old. Some greeted Ayue, while others looked at Li He and the other with vigilant eyes.

The leader was a middle-aged man in deep clothes, who seemed to be around 30 years old. Before he could approach A Yue, he pulled him behind him, and then looked at Li He and the other two with vigilance, and asked in a deep voice: "I'm going to Hu Fei, the three girls who follow me, I wonder what is the price for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, A Yue broke away from the middle-aged man's hand and explained anxiously: "Uncle, the eldest brother and the others are good people. I went up the mountain to pick up firewood today and encountered a wolf. Fortunately, the eldest brother and the others saved me..."

"oh?"

The middle-aged man named Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this. When he saw the wolf corpse on Peng Chou's shoulder, he immediately smiled and clasped his fists at Li He and the other two and said, "Haha, it turns out that the three heroes saved Ayue with righteousness. They are rude and rude. Please don't be surprised by the three heroes... If you don't dislike them, you might as well stay in the village for a few days and use some wine and food. The village will definitely treat you well to express your gratitude."

"Wouldn't it be too troublesome?"

Li He was about to be polite, but unexpectedly, he ran to Li He and pulled his hand: "Big brother, let's stay in the village for a few days?"

Seeing this, Hu Fei was slightly stunned, with a strange look on his face.

He stroked his beard and looked at Li He, then looked at Li Ying and Peng Chou a few more times, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, so don't be polite for you three. Let your benefactor stay overnight in the wilderness. It's not the way my Hu Family Village... Please!"

"This...that's disturbing." Li He hugged and said with a fist.
