The quarry went smoothly at first. There were many stone mountains here, and many of the mountains were suitable for quarrying. Li Yuanhong chose a quarry that was relatively close to the base. Since many people in Li Yuanhong's team came from the military, they were very familiar with mountain bombing and quarrying. As long as the mines and pipes were installed, the rocks would naturally fall down with a bang, and it was just a matter of people moving up and moving them.
However, on the third day of quarrying, something went wrong in the quarry. Many people were attacked inexplicably while quarrying. Although the injuries were not serious, it also prevented them from continuing to quarry. More importantly, they were attacked. The person didn't even see what was attacking him. And these attacks all happened during the day. This put the entire stone field in panic, and there were even rumors that there were ghosts here. Moreover, this rumor spread more and more widely, even the little troublemakers who had nothing to do all day knew about it.
When Li Yuanhong heard this, he almost threw the cup. What era has it been? He was still a ghost. Looking back, he said he was a zombie! It seems that zombies are already causing trouble, but with a different name: zombies! Are there really ghosts? Li Yuanhong also began to hesitate, but the stone still had to be quarried. Unless the ghost incident was solved, the quarrying could not continue.
So, Li Yuanhong took Lu Yi and Zhang Yuan to the quarry.
The quarry was empty, everyone was in the quarry shed, and no one wanted to step into the quarry area. When Li Yuanhong arrived, Ma Qiao looked at an injured person with a sad face and listened to what he said. At this time, Li Yuanhong came behind the sparrow and patted the sparrow. The sparrow was startled and quickly turned around to look. When he saw it was Li Yuanhong, he breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "Brother Li, you are finally here. If you don't come again, , this stone quarry will have to be closed!"
"What happened again?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"It's like this. We finally mobilized everyone to start work today. As a result, within ten minutes after entering the quarry, someone was injured again, so everyone did not dare to work." Sparrow complained.
Li Yuanhong did not blame the sparrow. After all, this kind of thing was beyond the control of the sparrow, so he squatted down to see the condition of the injured person.
The injured person was injured in the leg. The lint pants were scratched and five blood marks were left on the leg. Although the wound was not very deep, short-term actions would definitely be affected. Li Yuanhong could tell what kind of animal it should be. The scratches are not ghosts, and it can be seen that this animal did not injure anyone to death. If it was hunting or injuring someone to death, then the person's legs would definitely not be saved.
"Did you see anything when you were injured?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"No...no." The injured man said with some fear. "I was working with my head down, and I felt a gust of wind on my back, and then my calf and stomach hurt, and I was injured. I didn't see anyone near me at the time. Even the nearest worker to me was five meters away."
"Where were you injured?" Li Yuanhong asked next.
"Right over there!" The injured man pointed to a pile of rocks.
"Okay, take good care of yourself!" Li Yuanhong patted the man's shoulder gently, then stood up and walked towards the pile of rocks.
The pile of stones was made up of stones that had been blown down. In front of the pile of stones, there were still a few drops of blood, which were obviously left by the injured person just now. However, Li Yuanhong discovered that there were still blood on the inside of the pile of stones. There was a bloody claw mark that was not very clear. The direction of this claw mark was towards the pile of rocks. So Li Yuanhong vigilantly searched into the pile of rocks. Zhang Yuan and Lu Yi also followed Li Yuanhong, keeping watch.
Walking along the pile of rocks, we soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. At this time, a white shadow flew towards Li Yuanhong quickly. Because Li Yuanhong had learned the Eye of Truth, Bai Ying was still detected by him. Without enough time to draw out his weapon, Li Yuanhong quickly jumped back, and a gust of cool wind barely missed Li Yuanhong. If Li Yuanhong had hid slower, he would probably have scratches on his body.
At this time, the white shadow missed the target. After landing, it quickly moved towards Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong had just retreated, and he had not yet stood firm on his heels. He had no time to make any unnecessary movements. He could only use the force of retreat to fall backwards. His whole back hit the pile of rocks heavily, making Li Yuanhong feel a stabbing pain in his back. pain. Fortunately, the white shadow jumped over Li Yuanhong's head, and Li Yuanhong managed to escape another blow.
After the white shadow landed, he did not give up. He was about to jump up again and attack Li Yuanhong. At this time, Lu Yi raised his gun to attack and stabbed Bai Ying. Bai Ying had to give up the attack and jumped back to avoid Lu Yi. s attack. Naturally, Lu Yi would not let go, and continued to stab Bai Ying with his spear head. Zhang Yuan also raised his bow, ready to help at any time.
However, Bai Ying flashed very fast. Lu Yi attacked several times, but Bai Ying easily dodged them, but Bai Ying just stayed on the edge of the cliff and refused to go far away.
At this time, Li Yuanhong got up from the ground in embarrassment, his body covered with gravel and dust. Fortunately, he was not injured. Li Yuanhong would not give up after being attacked, so he pulled out his two swords and prepared to attack Bai Ying with Lu Yi. At this moment, Li Yuanhong caught a glimpse of a small cave entrance under the cliff. There were three white heads looking out quietly. Judging from the appearance, they looked like dogs but not dogs, so Li Yuanhong used the magic weapon on the three small animals. After seeing the Eye of Truth, it turned out to be three zero-level white foxes.
"Lu Yi, stay back, don't fight." Li Yuanhong shouted to stop Lu Yi, who was still attacking.
Lu Yi then stepped back and jumped back to Li Yuanhong, but the spear in his hand was still pointing in the direction of Bai Ying. Bai Ying also stopped at this time, staring at Li Yuanhong and the others with vigilant eyes, and letting out a low growl of warning. At this time, Bai Ying's figure was revealed, and he was an adult white fox. It’s no wonder that the white fox refuses to retreat. Behind him is his cub. Once it retreats, its own children will be in danger.
Li Yuanhong looked at the white fox, showed a smile that he thought was very kind, and said to the white fox: "I don't know if you can understand human speech. We don't want to hurt your family, we just want to collect stones here, but since we are disturbing you, This is an apology." As he said that, like magic, Li Yuanhong had a mutton chop in his hand, which he had originally bought from Mongolia.
Li Yuanhong threw the mutton chops in his hand at the white fox, then took Lu Yi and Zhang Yuan a few steps back, and asked Zhang Yuan and Lu Yi to point their weapons away from the white fox to show their sincerity.
To be honest, the fur of the white fox is very attractive. Li Yuanhong really wanted to get it off and give it to Li Luoxia. However, he has heard many legends about fox fairies since he was a child. Most of them provoked foxes, but there were no good results. Most of them, Li Yuanhong could I don't want to provoke an enemy for no reason. Moreover, foxes had never attacked people before, so Li Yuanhong also wanted to reconcile.
Li Yuanhong's retreat and the thrown lamb chops made the white fox look at Li Yuanhong with some doubts. Maybe it was because he had been hungry for a long time. The white fox came to the lamb chops and sniffed them several times. When he confirmed that there was no problem , picked up the mutton chops in his mouth, and retreated towards the entrance of the cave. Seeing that Li Yuanhong still hadn't moved, he took the mutton chops in his mouth and turned around and entered the cave. At this time, the sound of little foxes fighting for food came from the cave. But the big fox still looked at Li Yuanhong vigilantly to prevent Li Yuanhong from making a sneak attack.
Li Yuanhong returned to the work shed and said to the sparrow: "It's okay. There are no ghosts here. There is only a nest of fox fairies. Just keep the workers away from there to quarry stones. Remember, don't disturb them." Li Yuanhong warned the sparrow to prevent These workers had nothing to do to provoke them, but foxes are notorious for holding grudges.
Back at the camp, Li Yuanhong told Li Luoxia about the white fox. Who knows, the next day, Li Luoxia came to the quarry with Erya and Li Hongyun on the grounds of condolences to the quarry workers. At the scene, she didn't express much condolences to the worker. Instead, she took the pork chop she had stolen from someone unknown and ran to express condolences to the white fox.
For several days, Li Luoxia enjoyed it endlessly, but Li Yuanhong found out about it in the middle. Li Yuanhong did not stop him. He just said that the meat must be kept for children and patients to strengthen their bodies and could not be stolen anymore. So Li Luoxia had to ask Pu Zhixian for help to get some game, but she couldn't catch the game. Many mice were caught in the trap. There was no other way for Li Luoxia to make do with it. Fortunately, foxes eat mice, especially It's a mouse with a crystal nucleus.
