Chapter 15

For people who hunt all year round in the mountains, most of them know that pregnant animals cannot be killed.And the lassoed animal in front of me, making low-pitched sounds, was a female with cubs.

Facing the approaching Mu Shanhe and Da Qing, the female beast, which was already unable to struggle, seemed to be resigned to its fate.But after careful inspection, Mu Shanhe did not hesitate too much and directly rescued the trapped female animal with weak vital signs.

"You are said to be the smartest in the world, but why did you fall into the trap? Meeting is fate, and today is your lucky day. But given the current situation, whether you can persevere in the end depends on you. What's your luck?"

The female beast that was trapped and rescued in front of her was a fox known for its 'cunning'.Among the people in Northeast China, this beast is also regarded as one of the family immortals.And among the people, there are countless legends about it.

But only Mu Shanhe knew that in this day and age, not a few foxes were hunted every year.The reason is not that their meat is delicious, but that their fur is valuable.Just to hunt it, sometimes you have to take a chance.

The fox that was successfully rescued still looked weak.Judging from the leg it pinched, the injury was quite serious.It is said that "saving a human life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." But how many levels of pagoda can be built by saving a fox's life?

In order to save the injured and pregnant fox, Mu Shanhe had no choice but to return home.Although Daqing, who was being led, seemed a little dissatisfied, he was unable to resist the decision made by his master.

On the way back to his residence, Mu Shanhe picked some more healing herbs.Once upon a time, he witnessed his grandfather rescuing a silly roe deer that was also injured while carrying a cub.At that time, my grandfather was picking these kinds of herbs.

As for the medicine to prevent wound inflammation, I always had it at home.The reason is that every time you go hunting in the mountains and kill some large beasts, the hounds are often injured.Therefore, medicine must be kept at home at all times.

Daqing and the others are all used to the experience of taking anti-inflammatory drugs and applying herbal medicine!
He placed the rescued fox in a wooden house that served as a tool room, mixed some anti-inflammatory medicine with Liangbai, and then put it on the lips of the fox who seemed to be in a stable mood.Judging from the injured state of the fox, it seemed that it had been trapped for a long time.

If not, his physical strength and injuries would not be so serious!
Looking at the water mixed with medicine placed at his mouth, the weak fox seemed to be thirsty for a long time and began to take the initiative to drink water.Seeing that the fox could drink water by itself, Mu Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Being able to drink water means that there is still hope for rescue."

In fact, before rescuing the fox, Mu Shanhe was worried that it wouldn't be able to survive.Judging from its protruding belly, it must have been pregnant for a long time.If it can't be saved, it may cost several lives for one corpse!

Now that the fox can drink water on its own, it shows that its desire to survive is very strong.After drinking the water with anti-inflammatory drugs added, all that was left for Mu Shanhe to do was to continue to provide it with food and apply the collected herbs to the fox.

When the fox finished drinking the medicine-filled water in the bowl and looked up at Mu Shanhe eagerly, Mu Shanhe could also feel the pleading and expectation in the fox's eyes.Although the fox doesn't speak, its eyes are indeed very spiritual.

Taking out the prepared eggs and feeding them directly into the bowl, Mu Shanhe also said at the right time: "You and I are destined to meet each other. Since we can meet each other, I will try my best to save your life. But next, you have to cooperate with my treatment." ,Understand?"

As he spoke, Mu Shanhe looked at the fox that was immersed in sucking the eggs, not even letting go of the egg shells. He also knew that the fox who was pregnant with her cubs would be in urgent need of nutritional supplements.A few eggs are not enough for the fox to eat.

But Mu Shanhe felt that it was better to apply medicine to the fox's injured leg first.After the fox finished eating the four stupid eggs in the bowl, he continued: "I will treat you now, don't bite me!"

After speaking, Mu Shanhe immediately reached out his hand to the fox's injured leg.Although the fox felt pain, it still made a cry and did not bite anyone.This scene made Mu Shanhe feel that foxes were indeed spiritual.I touched the injured hind leg of the fox. In addition to the trauma, there seemed to be something wrong with the bones.Mu Shanhe, who felt a little headache, could only find scissors and cut off the blood-stained fur at the wound, and then disinfected it with alcohol.

Perhaps the contact of alcohol with the wound was too irritating, and the fox discovered the chirping sound again.Hearing the howl of the fox, Mu Shanhe said helplessly: "I'm going to disinfect it for you! Stop crowing, you are a fox, not a croaking monster!"

After cleaning the wound, Mu Shanhe applied the prepared herbs directly to the wound.At the same time, he found a small stick and bandaged the injured leg of the fox together with the herbs to prevent the fox from being injured again.

After finishing all this, Mu Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the fox was very cooperative throughout the treatment process.He carried it to a slightly empty place in the wooden house, and placed a wooden food box next to the fox's lying mouth.

Just when the fox thought he had something to eat again, Mu Shanhe walked out of the wooden house, returned to his new residence, found a kitchen knife, chopped half of the local chicken he bought and slaughtered from the town, and cut the half chicken into small pieces again.

Looking at Daqing who was following him, Mu Shanhe also said helplessly: "Daqing, don't bully the new residents. What he has, you have too. He is only here temporarily. When he is raised and has cubs, he will naturally die. I will leave, do you understand?"

"Woooo!"

I don’t know if Daqing understood it, but Mu Shanhe still rewarded it with a big chicken drumstick.Even though it is raw, Daqing is still delicious when chewing it.If it is frozen chicken, it is not interested in eating raw chicken.

After pouring the chopped chicken into the wooden box, the fox, who seemed to be very hungry, squealed a few more times, then started to pick up the chicken and quickly swallowed it into his stomach.The starving appearance shows that it is in urgent need of nutrition.

But for Mu Shanhe, the thought of feeding the fox a large amount of meat was still a bit distressing.He knew very well that if this fox hadn't encountered it today, I'm afraid it would probably end up turning into a fox skin.

Even if the hunter traps the bird, he will spare his life for the sake of the baby being pregnant.It is difficult for an injured fox with cubs to survive in the jungle where the jungle is full of predators.For those who hunt, who wants to provide food for their prey?
The most important thing is that he also feeds the fox meat and stupid eggs!
Fortunately, as a trainee mountain god, Mu Shanhe understands that as a mountain god, he also needs to protect the creatures in the mountain.As he said before, since this fox was destined to him, he naturally couldn't ignore it.

But to Mu Shanhe's surprise, when he rested at night, he found another ray of merit.Seeing the extra power of merit, Mu Shanhe thought for a while and said, "Humans are living beings, so why not animals?"

After thinking about this, Mu Shanhe suddenly felt that it might not be as difficult as he imagined to accumulate the power of merit to obtain the mountain god's inheritance.But in this case, he was afraid that he would have to make another trip to the town to replenish some supplies.

Although he has never raised a fox, he also knows that injured foxes with cubs need to eat more nutritious food.The food he purchased before would probably not last for a few days, so it was natural to replenish the supplies.

Fortunately, prices are now low, and the supply of tickets is gradually liberalized.As long as you have money, you are basically not afraid of not being able to buy daily necessities.In Mu Shanhe's opinion, if possible, in addition to various meats, it is best to buy some fish.

Compared with the price of native chicken, the prices of various freshwater fish in the town are not expensive.It’s not that Mu Shanhe is reluctant to give the fox something better to eat, but he can’t give the fox eggs and chicken every day, right?Occasionally, you have to change the taste!
