Tourists banned from coveting married breeders

The little fox suddenly pricked up its ears.

It was an all-too-familiar voice.

Its pupils vibrated, and after a brief pause of more than ten seconds, the little fox let out a grievance and continuous hum from the tip of its nose, propped up its snow-white paws, and paced around the entrance of the cave, like the instinctive reaction of dogs when they are most excited .

This reunion was too sudden.

It is possible that the little fox opened his eyes half asleep and half awake during his deep sleep, but saw the human being imprinted in his memory walking towards him through the dense night.

How could this be true?

And the other party actually made a sound, calling his name.

Jian Chen, who was not sure at first, suddenly felt that his conjecture was being confirmed bit by bit.

But it seemed that he also recognized his own little fox, but he was still refusing to come out of the hole.

At the same time, the little fox began to shrink back, but it didn't turn its back on itself. Instead, it seemed to be trying its best to hide its two tails in the deepest part of the cave.

Jian Chen squatted down slowly, not approaching the hole rashly.

"Don't be afraid, I didn't want to go there."

Jian Chen's Adam's apple moved slightly, and said in a low voice:

"...Is it really a snow ball?"

Just to find the dodder, he never dreamed that he would meet his long-lost nine-tailed fox cub in the zoo.

What a minuscule probability this is.

Hearing his name again, the little fox poked its head out of the hole excitedly, then quickly shrank back.

Jian Chen: "?"

But such a close observation made Jian Chen more certain.

The little nine-tailed fox he raised with his own hands is actually in his own zoo.

Without this journey, Jian Chen would probably never have noticed the existence of the little fox.

The distance between them is clearly far away, but they are like parallel lines, and they will never intersect, even until he passes away again.

This shocked the youth.

The little nine-tailed fox actually lives in no man's land?

It's no wonder that I couldn't think of this at all. It's a problem for a little guy who has no power to restrain a chicken, and even finding food alone is a problem. How on earth can he survive these endless and long years, escape disasters and diseases, and not be swallowed up by anyone stronger? The beasts prey and tear up?

It is an unimaginable thing.

At the same time, Jian Chen also discovered that the original nine beautiful tails of the Nine-Tailed Fox now only have two left.

What happened to the little fox?

Jian Chen couldn't see the broken marks clearly, or what happened to those tails, because the little fox hid it very deeply, and it seemed that he deliberately didn't want him to see it.

Jian Chen began to suspect that this might also be the reason why Xue Tuan refused to walk out of the cave.

Not afraid.

Rather, it does not want humans to see it as it is now.

……

After all, the current self is really too ugly.

The little fox thought so.

It still remembers that when he had nine tails, Jian Chen would love him so much, even though he always put on a look that he didn't want to see humans, the young man would still appear tirelessly every warm morning.

What Jian Chen likes is that kind of himself.

Instead of this monster with only two tails.

While it longs to see Jian Chen, at the same time it doesn't want humans to see itself as it is now.

This kind of contradictory joy and inferiority complex almost drove the little fox crazy.

Xuetuan couldn't help thinking, since when did it lose its first tail?

……

At the moment the ancient earth fell, there was a huge earthquake on the ground, which affected the entire research institute, including various laboratories located in the new species area.

Xuetuan was also frightened by the huge roar and vibration.

It suddenly stood up from the small table at the entrance of the new species area. Because of its high popularity, it was the favorite of the whole research institute staff, and the little fox was very good, so even in normal times, Xue Tuan didn't have to stay around all the time. In the new species area, it can wander in various areas of the research institute anytime, anywhere.

of course.

Letting go and loitering are just excuses.

It looks forward to being the first to see the youth every morning.

Also on this day, after Jian Chen got off work and left, the little fox still turned his back to Jian Chen with his tail wagging as usual, ignoring the young man's farewell.

After Jian Chen left.

Xuetuan silently jumped off the table and followed behind the young man.

Until he watched the young man leave the research institute.

The little nine-tailed fox stood in the gate of the research institute for a long time, and the nine tails gradually wilted before walking back slowly.

It's ok.

Humans will show up the next day.

It just has to wait.

The first fragment of the comet hit the city head-on that night.

The huge shattering and shaking caused the entire research institute to fall into an unprecedented panic and was caught off guard. At that time, the snow group was lying on the familiar small table in front of the new species area, and was forced to wake up from sleep.

It is probably the cub who feels the disaster most intuitively among all animals.

Huge shattered glass, shaking fences and stone pillars, and flashing lights, the panicked staff screamed, and the ground of the new species area spread water, and the snow ball was stunned. It seemed that the reservoir had burst prove.

The little fox, who didn't understand what happened, thought that the center of the disaster was the research institute.

Xiaoxuetuan made some anxious and fearful calls, it paced around the small table for a few seconds, and finally jumped down.

It just jumped down, and it didn't know where to go. After all, its home was almost submerged by water, and it couldn't go back to that place.

Where is Jian Chen? Where is Jian Chen?

Will he come to find himself?

Even if he didn't come back to find himself, Jian Chen would show up the next day.

So Xuetuan instinctively started running towards the gate of the institute.

There is a pure white sculpture in the lobby of the Institute, it can hide in the palm of the sculpture like last time, until Jian Chen came to look for it the next day.

This time, Xue Tuan will no longer deliberately hide himself, but will gently shake his nine tails to give the young man a hint and let Jian Chen notice him.

However, when it just ran to the gate of the institute, it found that the sculpture had fallen down.

Perhaps the impact of the earthquake was too great, and the moment the sculpture fell, it also fell apart. The palm of the sculpture, where the snow ball could hide, also shattered into several petals at this moment, and it no longer looked like it did before.

The figure of the little fox stopped.

It's like you can't believe the facts in front of you.

How to do?

Are you going to run out of the gate of the institute now?

However, the young man told him never to leave the gate of the research institute, otherwise Jian Chen would not be able to find him, and the Nine-Tailed Fox would be lost.

Xuetuan hesitated for a moment, then retracted his claws, whimpered softly, and turned around in a hurry in the hall of the institute.

But, after half an hour.

Just as the little fox was walking up and down the hall, suddenly, a pair of hands hugged it from behind.

Xuetuan: "?"

"Ancestor, let me find you."

A sweaty staff member hugged the little fox, started to turn back, and quickly ran in one direction.

Not far away, there was also an employee responding, but that person was holding a cage in his hand, and there was a covering on the outside of the cage, so it looked dark inside.

"So, now the new species area is complete?"

"Yes, Rega was subdued with an anesthesia gun just now. If you want to count the new species area, only the group of black beetles are left."

"..."

"The group of bugs can scratch glass, and the number is huge. It's too difficult to transport. It doesn't matter whether you take it or not."

The man on the other side nodded in agreement.

Before the little fox was sent into the cage, its nine tails were all curled up, and its little paws were digging in the void, obviously resisting.

But the fox cubs were too weak, so they were quickly put into cages and covered with curtains.

The field of vision was plunged into darkness, with occasional glimmers of light coming in through the gaps in the fabric.

Xuetuan felt that he had been put on some kind of vehicle. He heard the roar of vibration, the car started, and the familiar smell began to change. They seemed to have left the research institute and were heading towards an unknown destination.

Xue Tuan slowly retracted his tail into his bosom, his paws trembled a little, and his ears stood up backwards.

The car was driving in an orderly manner, Xue Tuan waited for a long time, but they did not stop.

If it is for evacuation, it has been opened for too long.

After traveling such a long distance, can Jian Chen still find them?

The little nine-tailed fox needs to eat on the way. The staff will prepare a small bowl, open the door of the cage, and hand it to the little fox.

Xuetuan looked down at the pieces of meat and intestines in the small bowl, lost in thought.

At first glance, it was not the food Jian Chen prepared for it.

The little fox stretched out his paws, and pushed the edge of the small bowl resistingly, there was nothing it liked to eat.

But when it refused to eat, the food bowl it sent next time still contained the same food.

After a day of hunger, the little fox finally lowered his head and ate a little.

It comforts itself, but also conserves energy, and must not starve and lose weight.

After all, when Jian Chen comes again, he still has to maintain an elegant and cold appearance, waiting for the young man to coax him.

The general way for humans to coax themselves is to hug it, knead the pads of its paws, and rub its tail.

I have to admit that although it is a very old-fashioned way of coaxing cubs, whenever young people do it, it will make the fox very comfortable. The tip of the nose is filled with the refreshing and warm smell of humans, and the little fox can't help but squint its eyes slightly .

Therefore, although it is very difficult to eat, the little fox still maintains a normal food intake, and cleans its hair in the cage, always maintaining a white and clean appearance.

until the vehicle stops.

I was sent into an ecological zone.

It is not so much an ecological area as it is a well-arranged laboratory with monitoring and various equipment, but there are also trees, grass and streams and rivers. Although it is different from the previous home in the research institute, it is still considered Everything is available, and the little fox is not treated badly.

Snowball raised its tail, the new environment was a bit novel to it, so the little fox played alone for a day.

Only the next day, everything is no longer fresh.

It longed to be able to freely enter and exit the new species area as before, and return to that sculpture. Before the morning light bathed its body, Jian Chen appeared against the light.

But it knows that the sculpture has been completely broken.

And Jian Chen didn't come the next day either.

The little nine-tailed fox began to walk in circles in the ecological area, and then used its snow-white paws to claw at the railings, whining and screaming.

But the staff thought it was hungry and sent food in.

Xuetuan looked down at the plate of meat, blinked her beautiful round eyes, and kept her previous posture without moving.

Then came the third day.

Jian Chen still didn't show up.

This kind of situation is not unfamiliar to Xuetuan. It happened three years ago. The young man suddenly disappeared for six or seven days. to a vocabulary:

--"marry".

Jian Chen went to get married.

What about this time, are you going to get married again?

Will it still take six or seven days to come back?

The little nine-tailed fox huddled into a ball angrily. Judging from the external surveillance, the snow-white ball had a rounded arc and a swollen tail, which perfectly complemented the name 'Snow Ball' and was very appropriate.

How can you leave without telling it?

When the human came back, the little Nine-Tailed Fox vowed to ignore him.

No matter what grapes or little mice Jian Chen brings this time, it will not be fooled, and it will take him a few days to dry.

With such determination, the little fox waited until the seventh day.

It was time for Jian Chen to come back.

Although he vowed not to ignore him, Xuetuan took a bath by the creek the night before, ran to the air blower to dry his tail, made it fluffy and soft, and cleaned his paws and nose.

It was sitting right behind the railing, with its nine tails turned away from everything outside, as it did every time.

just.

That day, the little nine-tailed fox stood there for a long time, from early morning to sunset, until the snow ball kept that position and slowly fell asleep.

In the night, it woke up suddenly.

The cool air brushed the little fox's ears.

Xue Tuan's tail trembled, and he looked around as if he was shocked. As always, the tall fence, the monitor with red light flashing, the tireless stream, and the shadows of the trees shaking faintly...

Business as usual.

It's just that Jian Chen didn't come.

The little fox stared beyond the fence in bewilderment, his eyes unable to hide the disappointment.

This time Jian Chen left, a little longer than last time.

Besides, the youth didn't tell it when it will come back next time.

The surrounding staff were also replaced with new ones, and even Jian Chen's young follower never appeared again, the world seemed to have changed.

It's the only thing that hasn't changed.

The little fox sits in the enclosure.

This time, it no longer turned its back to the direction the humans came from, and its tail was facing outward.

Instead, he sat down obediently with his two front paws together, and looked out of the fence eagerly.

Temper can come later.

...At least until Jian Chen came back.

This time, another month passed.

The little nine-tailed fox couldn't sit still any longer.

It began to break out of the prison frequently, using its claws to pull the fence, and often took advantage of the gaps when the staff delivered food, and slipped out through the gaps.

Of course, as expected, he was caught every time.

Once, Xuetuan tried to jump into the creek in an attempt to escape from the ecological zone along the water flow, but before reaching the shore, the little fox drowned and was rescued by the staff.

The little fox licked its wet fur and shook it again. It came to its den and slowly curled up and lay down.

Wait another day.

With its proud temper, it was only enough to wait another day.

Tomorrow, Jian Chen might come.

The next day.

The little nine-tailed fox waited eagerly for the whole day, until the sun went down and the night climbed up.

In the huge ecological zone, that group of small figures, together with even smaller shadows, looked extremely lonely.

six months later.

At night, the little fox closed his eyes.

Mist welled up in its eyes, its eyelashes trembled, and its fluffy tail slowly covered its body.

it thinks.

As long as Jian Chen is willing to show up, this time it won't be as cold as before.

I will no longer deliberately ignore young people.

However, in the middle of the night, the laboratory was still silent and empty.

Instead, a group of strange men in white coats came.

Most of them wear glasses, and the two leaders are elderly.

The little fox quickly sat up, jumped up, and hid behind the strongest tree.

"This is the laboratory where Nine-Tailed Fox lives?"

"Yes." The person next to him replied quickly: "This is the room with the most luxurious resources and equipment on this floor after Rhaegar. Everything is according to what you said."

The white coat pushed his glasses, and pointed to the little fox hiding behind the tree: "I said, it is very important, and the environment and treatment in all aspects are better than Rhaegar, don't you remember?"

The employee was surprised: "I, we remember."

"Then why isn't it eating? You guys don't even know what it likes to eat?!"

The white coat pointed to an untouched food plate in the enclosure.

The employee quickly said: "It actually likes to eat. Not only does it eat cleanly, but it also often licks its fur to dress itself up. It's just that the condition of the Nine-Tailed Fox has not been very good in the past few months..."

The old man frowned slightly.

"You don't know why?"

The staff bowed their heads and said: "Maybe it's because of loneliness. I heard that it liked the previous breeder very much. The breeder is probably dead. It's not surprising that the cub who was raised by his own hands doesn't think about food or tea... ..."

The white coat said: "Didn't the Academy of Sciences just send over a few clones in order to let Lei Jia cooperate in the battle?"

"We have invested so much technology and received funds from various parties. Are we playing house with you?" The old man said angrily, "They all come from the same research institute, and the breeders are probably from the same batch. They don't know how to recycle. ?!"

The staff all fell silent and nodded.

The old man ordered the people next to him to open the fence and walked in from the outside.

Xue Tuan immediately retreated vigilantly, but found that there was a stone wall behind him, and there was not much room to escape.

Even if it had the chance to escape, it had tried countless times.

Soon, as it expected, several strange human beings came rushing towards him.

The little nine-tailed fox was caught by the white coat before he ran very far.

The following people tacitly held the little fox's paws, and showed the beautiful and fluffy nine tails to the most experienced white coat present.

The old man's appearance was serious and serious, almost emotionless, he blocked the fluttering tail, and checked the connection marks of eight tails and roots except for the little fox itself.

Nine-Tailed Fox is three and a half years old.

Those scars had long since disappeared, and Nine Tails and the little fox blended together almost perfectly.

The young man next to him was very surprised: "Professor..."

The old man put down the little fox: "It's not the time yet."

The hand next to him was puzzled.

"There are only nine chances, and even I don't have the authority to decide how to use them."

Seeing that the little snow-white fox ran back to its den in a hurry after being freed, the professor said: "Besides, we are not sure whether the realization of wishes can break through physical limitations and whether human intervention can be used. If only the fox can use it, It may have to use special instruments to give instructions and commands to its brain cells."

The people beside him listened silently, and couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.

In 3773, they also realized such technology, and they are about to turn fantasy into reality.

And now, this great technology is just getting closer.

A group of people left.

There was a lonely little nine-tailed fox left.

It didn't understand what happened just now, but Xue Tuan could tell that the group of humans were very interested in its tail.

Even checking to see if his tail is well connected, it seems that the conclusions drawn are very impressive.

Because the group of old antiques spoke too many sentences, the little fox could only capture the words it could understand.

Like 'breeder'.

Like 'death'.

Like 'wish'.

……

Xuetuan froze for a moment, then silently crossed out the second item, pretending he didn't hear it.

Then all that's left is—

tail, breeder, wish.

The little nine-tailed fox seemed to understand something, and his eyes became brighter.

Xuetuan ran back to his den.

It looked at its two paws that were close together, and then at the fluffy tail behind it, as if hesitating.

Xue Tuan couldn't remember how long it had been since the disaster. From the perspective of the little Nine-Tailed Fox, the catastrophe only happened in the research institute, not the whole earth.

Now from that time, whether it has been a few months or a few years, Xue Tuan has no way of knowing.But it knew that Jian Chen hadn't found it for so long, so he must have lost his way... No.

Perhaps from the very beginning, young people didn't know where they were.

Since Jian Chen couldn't find him, it should take the initiative to meet him.

But with his own strength, it was extremely difficult to escape from this cage, and it was too embarrassing for the little fox.

Snow Tuan hesitated for a while.

Its gaze gradually became firmer.

The little nine-tailed fox propped its paws forward and turned its body sideways. The friction between the pads and the ground could stabilize its body. Then, it used its mouth to reach the beautiful tail behind it.

Its tail is very fluffy and can be touched easily, but the base of the tail is just the opposite. It takes a lot of effort for the little fox to get his mouth to touch the base of the tail.

at last.

Xuetuan bit one of his own tails.

The little fox hesitated for a moment, then suddenly closed his eyes, bit the base of his tail, and bit down hard.

At that moment, Xue Tuan whined.

It immediately loosened its mouth and licked it with its tongue.

soon.

Blood oozes out, staining the snow-white fur red.

Tears welled up in the little fox's eyes, it turned its head back, lowered its head and licked its paws.

It stared at the small tree next to it in a daze.

One minute later, the little nine-tailed fox turned its back again, put one paw against the side of the tail, and bit down again.

The little fox whimpered.

It hurts so much.

How can it hurt so much?

But the force of the bite was heavier than before. While biting it off hard, the little fox licked the wound with his tongue in pain to comfort himself.

Soon, the tail almost broke.

The little fox caught it and put it in its own nest. At this moment, joy and anticipation surged up, and it completely forgot the previous pain.

Xuetuan remembered the three words he had just come up with, and quickly made his wish to that tail:

[The first wish is to see Jian Chen. 】

Fearing that the wish would fail, the little fox quickly added:

【Now. 】

[I want to see you now. 】
