As soon as I heard those words, my heart sank, and I quickly shook my head in denial. "There’s no such thing! Please don’t say that, Mr. Li. I’m just an ordinary hunter; how could there be a fox spirit?"
Mr. Li, however, didn’t believe me at all. He waved his hand to his subordinates and commanded, "Search thoroughly! Find out where that seductive fox is hiding!"
His men immediately scattered, beginning to search through the woods. I was anxious and sweating profusely, thinking to myself, "If they find the Red Fox, it’ll be a huge problem."
Just then, I suddenly heard a low whimper that only I could hear, as if the Red Fox was warning me. Looking up, I saw the Red Fox hiding behind a nearby tree, nodding at me before turning and darting deeper into the woods.
"Mr. Li, there’s nothing here!" one of his men reported after searching around.
Yet Mr. Li was still unsatisfied. He looked at me with a cold smile and said, "Zhang Dashan, if you happen to encounter that creature, don’t forget to let me know. I’ve always wanted to catch one to play with."
After Mr. Li and his men left, the heavy stone in my heart felt like it would never settle. In a daze, I picked up my hunting bow and trudged toward home.
As I walked, my foot suddenly slipped, and I lost my balance, uncontrollably tumbling down the slope.
When I finally came to my senses, I found myself lying in a thicket with a sharp pain radiating from my calf. Gritting my teeth, I tried to stand up but discovered that a branch had cut a deep gash in my leg, blood flowing freely.
"Oh no, this is bad," I muttered bitterly to myself. It seemed that tonight I would have to make do with spending the night in this desolate wilderness.
Just when despair began to set in, a familiar whimper floated through the air.
I struggled to lift my head and saw the Red Fox standing not far away, its eyes filled with concern.
It looked at me and softly called out a few times, as if it were anxiously inquiring about my injuries.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious; it's just that my leg won't move," I shouted at the Red Fox, feeling both surprised and grateful. "Can you help me find someone to lend a hand?"
I almost laughed at myself. Here I was, asking a fox to fetch help. Wasn't that like sending it straight into danger? I must have lost my mind.
But the Red Fox seemed to understand my words; it suddenly turned and dashed into the depths of the forest.
As I wondered where it had gone, a flash of red light appeared, and a woman dressed in red emerged before me.
She had a delicate face and lively eyes. Yet, looking at the aura radiating from her features, I recognized her instantly—this was none other than the Red Fox!
"You... you are the Red Fox?" I stammered in shock, my eyes wide as saucers.
The woman transformed from the Red Fox smiled gently, her lips curving slightly as she nodded: "Yes, it's me. Don't be afraid; I'm here to save you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she crouched down and gently raised her hand. A miraculous scene unfolded: although the pain remained, the wound on my calf began to slowly heal.
I stared at her in disbelief, my heart racing as I stuttered out, "How... how can you turn into a person?"
