It’s so rare that no one even believes that such creatures as wolves and foxes really exist!
There is a very old legend in Miao territory: In ancient times, all things had spirituality and all animals could communicate with each other. At that time, the wolf and the fox fell in love and gave birth to the wolf-fox species regardless of Tiangang. However, because it went against common sense, it violated
The Lord of all things, so the wolf and fox are cursed from birth. Unless they meet the destined person, the wolf and fox's eyes will never be visible.
No one knows whether this legend is true or not, but it is true that wolves and foxes are born blind.
Because of this, young wolf foxes were hunted and killed arbitrarily, and their numbers became less and less... and finally became a rare species that no one has even heard of in many places.
The same goes for fire. When it is born, it is invisible.
But wolves and foxes are born smart.
Huo'er has lived with a monk in the mountains since he was a child, listening to his words day after day. Within a few years, he actually understood human speech. However, in the past few years, his eyes were still dark and he was still invisible.
.
The monk flipped through many medical books and ancient mythology books, and finally saw the record about the wolf fox and the so-called curse in the corner of a certain old book.
"Little wolf fox..." the ascetic touched its pure white hair and murmured to himself, with pity in his voice, "It seems that I am not your destined person..."
Unless we are destined to be together, there is no way to break the curse.
Huo'er didn't understand at the time. He just sniffed his nose pitifully, and his mind was at a loss - see? What does the outside world look like? Is it possible for it to see it in this life?
The monk was getting older, and after all he could not wait until the day when Huo'er saw him, so he left quietly one afternoon with a clear sky. Deep in the mountains, suddenly only Huo'er was left.
No one told it where it came from, and no one told it where it should go in the future? How to find its destined person?
Therefore, Huo'er could only walk aimlessly in the mountains, looking for the so-called "fate" recorded in the book.
There are few human voices in the deep mountains. Every time it hears human voices, it will approach excitedly. When it gets closer, it hears their conversations and finds that they are the voices of hunters. Several times, it was chased miserably and almost almost
Lost his life.
It was helpless, struggling in the sea of misery, struggling to survive, and finally survived a snowy winter...
On the top of the mountain, a woman's figure stands out. She is wearing a fiery red skirt. In the white sky, she looks like a bright red plum, which is particularly conspicuous.
Su Tong looked at the boundless white with empty eyes. After a long time, she slowly lowered her eyes and looked at the cliff at her feet.
At that time, she had just come to this world and was full of disgust for this world.
She would rather go back, continue running on that road of death, and die with her master!
But how to go back?
Jump down, okay?
Su Tong stood silently on the edge of the cliff for a long time. The cold wind blew, making her cheeks ache.
She frowned, wiped the tears hanging on her face, and sniffed. From the corner of her eye, she happened to see a soft white mass at her feet - the little thing also shrugged its head, seemingly unmoved.
After discovering her existence, he was still moving forward slowly, and he was about to fall off the cliff in the next second...
"Hey, you're committing suicide!" Su Tong's eyes tightened, and without thinking, she squatted down and grabbed it, scooped it up and squatted in the snow, "Hey, little thing, can't you think about it?"
The wolf fox was stunned, and his body froze on the spot. He sniffed with his nose and then realized: there was a human being holding him! It was an unprecedented feeling!
It was confused and allowed to be held by Su Tong, and it was also a little at a loss - it just lowered its head and walked around casually, and did not commit suicide? Could it be that it had walked to the edge of the cliff? In this way, the woman in front of it was saved.
Take your own life...
Su Tong sighed softly, thinking that Huo'er was an ordinary animal and not thinking that it could understand human speech. She hugged it and murmured to herself: "I also want to commit suicide... but after committing suicide, I
Where will it go?"
The wolf fox's claws involuntarily touched her arm, giving her a little comfort in its own way.
Su Tong didn't pay attention. She paused and continued: "I am the only one left in this world... What if I go to another world and am still alone?"
The method of risking death and surviving later seems a bit too risky!
Su Tong lowered her eyes, feeling a sense of loneliness and helplessness coming from the bottom of her heart.
Huo'er listened quietly. Undoubtedly, it felt the same as Su Tong!
It has no one to accompany it in this world, only wandering in the barren mountains by itself...
It shrugged its head, showing an unspeakable loneliness on its face. It stared blankly, and suddenly felt that the human in front of it had a similar soul to it...so happy! It actually met someone with the same soul as it.
, humans who are not hostile to it...
"I can't go back anyway..." Taking a deep breath, Su Tong sighed, patted the wolf fox's little head, and finally made a decision, stood up from the snow, "Let's go, little thing!
I'm really afraid you'll freeze to death if I leave you here alone."
Hearing that she wanted to take him away, Huo'er excitedly slapped her neck with his paws, hugging Su Tong like a child.
"It's really humane!" Su Tong smiled and patted its soft back, "That's good. If you are also a wanderer, just hold on tight. We will depend on each other from now on."
Unexpectedly, the two little claws on the neck really tightened a bit...
Su Tong was startled and couldn't help but stop, with a look of surprise on her face: "Can you understand human speech?"
The wolf fox couldn't speak, but he just arched into her arms, nuzzled her cheek with his nose, and expressed his joyful reaction that he understood.
"I picked up someone who can understand people's words, so I've made a profit!" Su Tong curled her lips and smiled to herself. She quickly put away the surprise on her face and carried the wolf fox down the mountain.
In another world, she has seen many animals that have been trained to understand human speech, but she did not expect that they also exist in this world.
Moreover, it seems that the breed of the animal she picked up is much rarer than those dogs that can understand human speech...
After taking the wolf fox back, Su Tong gave it a bath carefully. After washing it until it was white and fragrant, Su Tong stopped with satisfaction.
While helping it dry, Su Tong finally discovered something strange about it - it seemed... invisible!
It seemed to use its hearing to make judgments. When she called it, it would wag its tail excitedly; but when her fingers were wagging in front of its eyes, it didn't react at all!
Su Tong leaned over and couldn't help but confidently observe its pupils - its eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of clouds, without any brilliance at all, like the eyes of human cataracts, which looked... quite pitiful.
"Ha..." Su Tong smiled bitterly, stroking its hair and couldn't help but feel distressed, "Can't you see?"
"Gulu..."
The wolf fox was startled and stood up quickly.
It waggled its tail desperately and pushed into Su Tong's arms, trying its best to please her, for fear that Su Tong would dislike it because it was invisible and drive it away.
"Oh, don't make trouble, don't make trouble!" Su Tong patted it on the head, "Your body is still wet, and when you swung it, it all landed on me!"
After being taught such a lesson by her, the wolf fox immediately squatted on the table obediently, but it still made a low growl in its throat, as if begging Su Tong to take it in.
Su Tong paused in confusion before suddenly understanding what it meant. She couldn't help but feel sad for it: "Don't be like this, I didn't want to drive you away..."
When she said this, her nose felt sore and she couldn't help but shed tears. She choked and said, "Don't be so humble to others... Do you know that this will make it difficult for others?"
I really don’t know how this little thing survived all the way?
How difficult and difficult life must be to make it so humble...
Wolf Fox didn't understand what she meant or why she was "uncomfortable". He just raised his head blankly and "looked" in the direction of Su Tong.
Her tears just fell down and fell into the eyes of the wolf and fox...
Astringent tears fell into his eyes, stimulating his eyeballs with a cool touch, and made him shake his head involuntarily.
"Okay, I'll dry it off for a while and take you to eat!" Taking a deep breath, Su Tong adjusted her emotions, smiled, and wiped the water droplets around her eyes with a clean cloth...
…
Just wiping it on, she felt something was wrong!
That layer of clouds that looked like cataracts just fell off like that?!
She just wiped the cloth from its eyes, and those things were taken away easily...
She looked at the past again, and her eyes were completely different from the hazy eyes just now——
What caught my eye was a pair of red eyes, dark with softness, confused with joy...
Even though it was just an animal, Su Tong had to admire: What beautiful eyes! Like priceless rubies!
Huo'er was also completely shocked. When the cloth strip passed by, it actually saw light!
It blinked its eyes persistently, feeling that its vision was getting clearer and clearer...
For the first time, it saw the world!
A distant memory flashed through my mind. When I was still living with that ascetic, I seemed to have heard him say: Only by meeting a destined person can the legendary curse be broken and the world be seen.
Destined person...
The destined one...is she?
She is so pretty!
Thinking of this, it couldn't help but stretch out its claws, and involuntarily stretched it towards Su Tong little by little...
"Hey, can you see it?" Su Tong stretched out her hand and waved it in front of its eyes, expecting its reaction.
It shrank its neck and nodded hesitantly.
"Your eyes are very beautiful! They are like fire. Can I call you Huo'er?" She lay on the table and was eye level with it, looking purely into its clear eyes.
It nodded excitedly.
name?
She gave it a name!
"It's so good..." Su Tong smiled and touched its head, and gently stroked Huo'er's ears with her soft little hands. When it was enjoying it so much that it half-closed its eyes and was about to fall asleep, Su Tong suddenly mentioned it.
"Squeak..." Huo'er was startled and almost jumped up from the table.
"Hey, that white film in your eye is not there on purpose, is it?" She suddenly thought of this possibility and asked angrily, looking down at it and waiting for its reaction.
Huo'er shrank back, a hint of hurt flashed in his eyes - it was really invisible before!
Doesn't she believe it?
"What are you afraid of?" Su Tong spoke arrogantly, keeping a fierce look on his face, "Tell me! Who put a film in your eye to intentionally harm you? I'll help you teach him a lesson! It's so vicious... You are still so young.
, let no one live anymore..."
She muttered and complained, Huo'er looked at her gratefully, his eyes filled with emotion - it turned out that she was doing this for it.
However, no one really framed me intentionally. Master, you are my destined person, do you believe it?
Su Tong, this is fate, do you believe it?
You are the person I am destined to protect for the rest of my life.
