Chapter 40 Tracking

Hearing Gu Xi's question, the man asked strangely: "What did you raise, why didn't you let it drink breast milk?"

"Uh..." Gu Xi quickly lied in his head, "Well, we picked up a little milk dog on the road..."

The man nodded, opened his bag, took out a can of goat milk powder and handed it to Gu Xi: "Just soak it according to the instructions on the can, this is for you."

"Don't, don't, don't," Gu Xi waved his hands repeatedly, "I just want to ask you where you bought it, we just go and buy it ourselves."

"There is no pet store here. I bought this from another place. If you are in a hurry, take it."

Gu Xi struggled for a while, pointed weakly at the bag in his hand, and asked, "Are you in a hurry, can you sell it all to me?"

There were about four cans of goat milk powder in the bag in the man's hand. He moved his neck left and right a few times, and replied puzzledly: "One can is enough for a puppy for a long time."

Gu Xi was hit by his social aura, and took a step back unconsciously, saying: "I, picked up a lot, puppy... I guess I ate a little too much..."

The man gave him another cold look, but without asking any more questions, he handed him everything in his hand.

Gu Xi paid the money and thanked him several times.

After breakfast, the two bought two bags of steamed buns named by the foxes, then turned to the supermarket, bought some daily necessities, vegetables, fruits and meat, and improved the lives of these poor foxes.

"It's almost there, can we go up the mountain?" Gu Xi shook his hands and looked at the two big bags in Mu Linyuan's hands.He said, "Give me one too."

"It's okay, I'm strong."

"Give me one," Gu Xi dug a shopping bag from Mu Linyuan's hand, held it with one hand, and stuffed his other hand into Mu Linyuan's wide palm to hold it. "Your hand It should be used in this way, and I can have another one...you said..."

Mu Linyuan glanced at him quite unexpectedly, and as expected, he saw the red auricles. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Where did you learn it?"

Gu Xi said truthfully: "Internet, I learned online..."

"You've learned well." Mu Linyuan grabbed his hand and kissed it on his lips.

It's over, it's over, fearing that I didn't grasp the level and used too much force, and being stared at by Mu Linyuan unnaturally, Gu Xi faltered again: "Let's go quickly..."

"Wait a minute." Mu Linyuan pecked lightly a few more times, and said, "I'll take you somewhere."

Gu Xi did not doubt that he was there, nodded and followed him forward, feeling a little apprehensive and having some inexplicable expectations.

Turning around three big bends and several small alleys, the more we walked, the quieter we walked, and the more remote we walked, Gu Xi felt a little uneasy again: "Where are we going?"

"It's almost there."

"Here?" Gu Xi looked around. On both sides of the road were towering concrete walls of the construction site. There was a fork in the road, and there was an empty grass field on the left.He was confused, this place doesn't seem like a place to go on a date, it's very possible to kill people and steal money, so he couldn't help asking: "What are we doing here?"

"Maybe I need to see someone."

Mu Linyuan turned around and said to the shadow of the corner: "Come out, follow us all the way, what can you do?"

Hearing this, Gu Xi stared at that corner in disbelief. That place, which was no different from thousands of corners in the world, unexpectedly walked out of a person slowly.The hairs on Gu Xi's body stood upside down, this, this is clearly the person who sold them goat milk powder in the morning!

Half of the man stood in the shadow of the corner, his face was expressionless, but it gave off a sinister feeling for no reason.The pink bubbles around Gu Xi were instantly burst by the darkness and terror.

"Why did you follow us?" Mu Linyuan asked again.

The man stared heavily at their faces, and said slowly, "I want to see your puppy."

Obviously it is a very cute and warm suggestion, but people can't help but think of something not wonderful.

Mu Linyuan said: "You are a monster catcher."

"Oh!" Gu Xi almost yelled, but he steadfastly held back.TV experience told him that these bloody and violent people are actually very sensitive psychologically, and the more tense the occasion, the less able to stimulate the emotions of the parties involved.

Mu Linyuan squeezed Gu Xi's hand, and shielded him behind his back without a trace.

Gu Xi silently took a step back, shifting his weight back, ready to run away at any time, so as not to drag Mu Linyuan back when they fight, it can be said that he is very fearless and sensible in the face of danger.

The man finally showed a look of surprise on his face: "How do you know?"

"I've heard a lot on the way, just think about it." Mu Linyuan said to the man, "It stands to reason that the duty of catching monsters should be to clean up those monsters who have fallen into crooked ways and maintain the order of the world, right?"

"Exactly."

Relying on his own ability to hide deeply, Mu Linyuan asked back: "What does that have to do with us?"

"I said, just go and see the puppy you picked up."

Gu Xi complained silently in her heart, this doesn't look like asking someone to invite her to see the little milk dog, it should be to hand over the money quickly or XX you...

The man said: "I'm afraid the one you picked up wasn't a puppy, but a little fox, right?"

Gu Xi's eyes widened in surprise, and he was immediately caught by the person opposite. He said, "Foxes here have been respected since ancient times, so there are basically no dogs in the local area. Dogs will threaten the survival of foxes. If you pick one up, it's fine." It’s impossible to pick up many puppies nearby.”

Gu Xi poked his head in puzzlement and asked, "Since you are respected, why did you catch the fox?"

"It's to protect them."

Gu Xi and Mu Linyuan looked at each other, the answer was beyond everyone's expectation: "Protection?"

"You don't have blood on your body, so it's okay to tell you." The tall monster catcher said, "I don't know if you have heard of it. In local legends, foxes are also called marriage messengers. People believe that as long as You can see foxes smiling at you, and you will have a good marriage. Therefore, foxes have long been a local belief, and they cannot be driven away or killed, and even people who meet foxes on the road will throw food for them to eat."

The man sighed, and there was a trace of sadness on his stern face: "However, there are problems with the increasing number of foxes. After the threat is gone, the excessive number makes them more and more influential on human life. Later, people were harassed by foxes a lot, so they gradually stopped entering the mountains, and let them be self-sufficient and fend for themselves. That's fine. But——in recent years, there have been a group of people breaking into the mountains For those who catch foxes, the value of fox fur still attracts the eyes of many people."

"So, you're worried that we're also the ones who want the fox fur?"

"I took the foxes back in the wild to protect them."

Gu Xi almost believed his words, but he remembered Xiaozao's demon catcher who was as vicious as hell and asked, "Why should we believe you? What if you see our little fox and want to snatch it away?" What to do? We are all ordinary people, and we can't beat you..."

Mu Linyuan poked his waist in a funny way.

The man frowned: "Don't worry, I can take you to see. But on the contrary, you have to take me to see your fox."
