Zi Lan was stunned. In the blink of an eye, a small ball of fur appeared in his arms and stuck tightly to his side.
Zi Lan hesitated and lowered his head to look at her.
The little nine-tailed fox huddled in his fur in fear, curled up and shivered. She wrapped her nine tails around herself, with her ears pressed tightly against her head.
At this moment, thunder rumbled faintly in the clouds outside, followed by another thunder.
Boom!
“Ouch!”
Along with the loud noise, the little nine-tailed fox became even more panicked. She trembled violently, then shrank desperately into Zi Lan's arms, sticking as close to him as possible. She closed her eyes tightly, but her body was still visibly shaking.
Zi Lan didn't expect to see the little nine-tailed fox like this. He paused and asked tentatively: "...Are you afraid of thunder?"
There was no need to answer, the look on the little nine-tailed fox's face had already clearly told Zi Lan the answer.
Xue Li could hear the sound of the big snow wolf at this time, but she didn't dare to open her eyes. She just drilled hard into the place where she felt a little safer and buried herself in it.
She was indeed afraid of thunder.
Her aunt once told her that the day she found her was a very stormy day.
It was a midsummer day, a violent thunderstorm swept the world, the day was as dark as midnight, the thunder sounded like angry war drums, strong winds and heavy rain came together, and the sky was invisible.
That day was not a good day for my aunt. She said that she was kicked out of the sect that day. Apart from the clothes on her body, the only thing left was an old oil umbrella given by the master, which could barely withstand the wind and rain.
My aunt walked alone in the heavy rain, and then she met her when she was still a baby.
According to my aunt, that was the moment when she was most disappointed with human nature. She had no intention of adopting her. After all, my aunt could hardly take care of herself and was unable to rescue a young fox.
However, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart and felt compassion.
It is said that when her aunt picked her up, she was already dying. Fortunately, she found this little fairyland that belonged to her in time, but even so, she fell seriously ill after returning to the fairyland and it took her several months to recover.
Xueli was too young at the time and didn't remember anything about what her aunt said, but she was indeed afraid of thunder since she was a child.
When she was a child, even the slightest thunder would frighten her and she would jump up and run to her aunt's arms in the middle of the night.
The thunder gave her a very helpless feeling.
At such times, her aunt would hold her tenderly, gently stroke the back of her head, and soothe her with a soft voice.
In her aunt's arms, the terrible thunder seemed to become smaller, and she was able to fall asleep gradually and peacefully.
But now my aunt is not in Wonderland.
This time, the thunder was the loudest that Xueli had ever heard since she could remember. She had never seen such a heavy thunderstorm in Wonderland. The incessant thunder and the pitch-black night made Xueli think of the day her aunt had mentioned when she was picked up.
Xue Li was awakened by the first sound of thunder.
She was terribly frightened by the roar of thunder from which there was no escape, and she trembled all over, trying desperately to find a place to hide.
Her aunt was not at home, so she could only run to the person she trusted the closest to her. Although Xueli often disliked the big snow wolf for clinging to her too closely, the big snow wolf had proved that he would not harm any living creature. They usually got along together, and the big snow wolf accompanied her to rest, helped her to carry things, and ate carrots. It was not true that Xueli actually had no feelings for him, so when the thunder sounded, she immediately ran over and dived into the big snow wolf's fur.
The big snow wolf had thick fur, was big and warm, and after Xueli got in, she did feel a sense of security. The wind and rain were still blowing outside the window, and she tried her best to hide next to the snow wolf.
Zi Lan's deep eyes gazed at the little nine-tailed fox curled up in his arms.
The little fox was obviously very afraid of the thunder outside. With every muffled thunder sound, she trembled even more violently. The little fox was very small to begin with, and trembling like this made her look even more pitiful.
Zi Lan thought about it, then carefully turned sideways, curled her up, then silently circled her tail and lowered her head...
Xue Li was originally trembling violently. The constant thunder and lightning outside the window made her extremely frightened. But at this moment, she suddenly felt something pressing down on her. The snow wolf curled up and protected her as usual. At the same time, it carefully covered her ears with its tail and claws.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if the rain had suddenly stopped, and the sounds of thunder and heavy rain seemed to have gone far away.
Xue Li was stunned and looked up in surprise, then she saw the big snow wolf protecting her, carefully circling her body and looking at her worriedly with its wolf eyes.
The movement of covering her ears was very delicate and the force used was very light, which was obviously intentional.
The big snow wolf didn't say anything, but Xue Li could feel his concern and worry.
Xueli moved her paws awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.
She said, "Thank you, I feel much better."
Zi Lan didn't understand what Xue Li said, but when he looked at her expression, he knew that the little nine-tailed fox should be much better and the method was effective.
He responded: "I'm glad you're okay, go to bed early."
Xue Li was wrapped tightly in Zi Lan's quilt, and she couldn't even hear clearly what the big snow wolf said that was so close to her. Fortunately, it was okay, because she knew that the big snow wolf should be willing to let her sleep here.
The big snow wolf's posture was actually quite awkward. He had to cover her ears and curl her up in it. Xue Li thought that if she were to sleep in this posture, she would probably not be very comfortable all night.
Xueli wagged her tail shyly, then lay down obediently beside the big snow wolf, hiding in his fur, rolling into a small white ball, and then rubbing against him to express her gratitude.
Zi Lan was stunned by Xueli's rubbing, and her face turned slightly red under her white fur.
It was actually quite rare that Xue Li took the initiative to come over and sleep with him. Although it was because of thunder, Zi Lan could hardly restrain his inner excitement.
He must cherish this opportunity, wrap the little nine-tailed fox in a warm bundle, and let her spend a comfortable and safe night.
Thinking of this, Zi Lan suddenly became full of energy. He immediately started to work. He quickly adjusted his posture according to the little fox's condition and wrapped her up tightly, making sure that she couldn't hear any sound and couldn't see the lightning outside.
The little nine-tailed fox was protected in the arms of the big snow wolf and soon felt sleepy.
The big snow wolf's arms were warm, protected by fluffy wolf hair, soft and safe. The big snow wolf wrapped her tightly and covered her ears, completely blocking out the thunder.
Xue Li suddenly felt vaguely... Sleeping like this doesn't seem to be bad
She felt as if she had come to a safe haven. Xueli yawned comfortably and closed her eyes in the wolf's fur...
A quarter of an hour later.
Sydney: "It's so hot, so hot, so hot..."
Xue Li was awakened by the heat.
At this moment, she suddenly realized a very serious problem.
Just by looking at the fur color of her and the big snow wolf, you could tell that their ancestors most likely lived in cold areas covered with ice and snow before they became immortals and moved to the fairyland. Their thick and soft double-layer fur is enough to protect them from the extremely cold weather that may occur in winter.
Although the climate in Fairyland was very pleasant, and Xue Li usually didn't feel any discomfort, but at this moment, she herself had a warm double-layer coat, and with the big snow wolf's warm double-layer coat, the two people's four layers of coat plus the body temperature of the big spring wrapped so tightly, the warmth effect was comparable to being in a furnace, and Xue Li was almost dizzy from the heat.
Although she was very grateful for the Snow Wolf's kindness, it was too hot at the moment to care about so much. She quickly grabbed the Snow Wolf's two paws and struggled to make him loosen up.
Zi Lan felt the ball of fur she had rolled up was moving around vigorously, and confusedly she loosened her grip a little.
Zi Lan didn't feel much, because he was the outer part and didn't have the four layers of fur like Xue Li. Moreover, he had a special physique and the cold disease made his requirement for calories very high. Instead, he felt that he was holding a warm little fox and was very comfortable.
However, the little nine-tailed fox was moving so violently that he still let it go a little.
However, the big snow wolf let go of Xue Li and did not cover her ears so tightly. Just then, a muffled thunder flashed outside the window, and Xue Li was frightened again and screamed "Ah" and hurriedly hid back in Zi Lan's fur, trembling.
Zi Lan quickly gathered the little nine-tailed fox up again.
After a while, Xueli couldn't stand the heat anymore and jumped up to tickle the wolf again.
The big snow wolf let her go again.
Then Xue Li was frightened by the thunder and went back inside.
The big snow wolf rolled her up again.
It rained heavily all night, and the two of them tossed around like this for most of the hour. Finally, Xue Li was so tired that she didn't even have the energy to pay attention to whether there was thunder outside. She didn't know if she was still hot. Anyway, she leaned on the big snow wolf and fell asleep exhausted.
Zi Lan looked at the little nine-tailed fox leaning on her with satisfaction. She leaned over and licked her gently, then hugged her and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already early morning.
The heavy rain has passed, and the rain is still dripping from the eaves, and the sky is clear and blue.
Xue Li woke up in a daze, then jumped out of the wolf fur, looking at the big snow wolf in front of her with mixed feelings.
To be honest, she didn't really like the fact that the big snow wolf was following her all the time, and she was worried that he would not be able to move out in the future.
But despite the many twists and turns last night, she was indeed taken care of by the big snow wolf.
She suddenly thought that if there was always a wolf living in the house, it might not be a bad thing. If the big snow wolf was still unwilling to leave, it would not be a bad thing. Besides, the big snow wolf was so good to her, Xueli was not completely unmoved.
Sometimes important decisions require impulse and decisiveness.
Maybe it was time for her to... get a wolf
As for my aunt, I can discuss it with her after she comes back. Anyway, there will always be a way to find the wolf's residence.
Xueli was very confused and wagged her tail back and forth anxiously.
Zi Lan woke up at this time. When he came to, he found that the little fox in his arms was gone. When he was about to jump out of shock, he saw the little nine-tailed fox sitting in front of him, looking at him with mixed feelings.
Xueli pondered for a long time, and finally said to him solemnly: "I've made up my mind! Thank you very much for last night... If you really want to live here forever, then stay. When my aunt comes back, I will discuss with her whether we can build a larger house for you next door. You can live with me for now, and everything will remain the same for now. If you change your mind and want to move in the future, you can move then."
This is equivalent to taking in the Snow Wolf to live with you indefinitely, and the choice is entirely in the hands of the Snow Wolf.
Zi Lan looked at Xue Li's solemn face, vaguely knowing that she might have said something very important, and tilted his head in confusion.
But since he couldn't understand it anyway, Zi Lan didn't know what was going on, but seeing Xue Li's expression didn't seem bad, he lowered his head and licked her gently.
“Ouch!”
Xue Li's fur trembled when she was licked.
However, after she said these words, the whole fox felt much more relaxed, and looked at the big snow wolf more intimately than before.
She pounced on it happily, jumped onto the big snow wolf's paw, and licked his face to show affection.
The matter of the big snow wolf was decided, and the two fur balls, big and small, played together.
After a while, suddenly, there was an anxious knock on the door outside the wooden house.
"Woo?"
Xue Li tilted her ears, jumped off the big snow wolf, and ran over to open the door.
"Sheryl! Are you okay?"
When the wooden door opened, the little white deer was seen standing anxiously outside the house. When she saw Xueli, she looked her up and down in panic.
It rained so hard last night and there was a huge thunder. The little white deer was scared in his cave. The animals in the forest who played well with Xueli knew that she was afraid of thunder. So when the rain stopped at dawn, the white deer hurried over.
Xue Li blushed a little, but she was still very grateful to Bai Lu for caring about her.
Xueli shook her head and said, "I'm fine, don't worry. I was scared yesterday, but I'm fine. How about you? Are you okay?"
Xue Li was too embarrassed to say that she was so scared that she burrowed into the fur of the big snow wolf last night. Anyway, she was still quite energetic.
Bai Lu also shook his head and said, "I'm fine too. I've been in the cave the whole time! I'm not afraid of thunder. But why was there such a sudden strong wind and rain last night? The weather in the fairyland is always very good. Even if it rains occasionally, it won't be like last night..."
Bai Lu spoke anxiously, and Xue Li still felt a lingering fear when she recalled what happened yesterday.
The rainstorm came suddenly. There had never been a thunderstorm like last night in Wonderland. If I hadn't gone home and stayed outdoors, it would have been very dangerous.
And looking at last night's situation, the wind and thunderstorm were both very strong. I don't know if any trees in the forest would be blown down. There are also some nocturnal animals in the forest. I don't know if they returned home in time.
As Xueli thought about this, she felt more and more uneasy. She said, "Little Deer, stay and have breakfast with us. After breakfast, we will go to the forest to patrol and see if everyone is okay."
"Um!"
Bai Lu nodded immediately.
Xueli turned around and said to Snow Wolf, "Big Snow Wolf, come along too!"
Zi Lan looked at the little nine-tailed fox jumping around in front of him in confusion, then thought about it and lowered his head so that Xue Li could easily run over and rub against him.
Bai Lu was quite shocked when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that after one night, the relationship between the two of them would be so good. Bai Lu was surprised and asked: "Did something happen between you two last night? You and this big snow wolf..."
Xueli was very embarrassed and said vaguely: "Nothing, he just helped me..."
However, the next moment, before Xue Li could finish her words, another small animal with a panicked look came running from the forest in the distance!
Xueli didn't say the rest of the words, but looked at the little animals who came to see her early in the morning in surprise. Thinking of the storm last night, she suddenly became worried and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Running out of the forest were the little monkeys and a few rabbits that often came to play with Sydney.
The little monkey looked terrified and panicked. He ran to Xueli and said, "Xueli, something bad has happened! Something has happened to the tigress who lives in the north of the forest!"
The author has something to say: Many years later, everyone in the wolf realm knew that the wolf king had been trying to thin his fur because his wife often complained that his fur was too thick and too hot and refused to sleep with him...
