Chapter 43 -43: Making Friends, Three Cute Little Foxes!

The scene became somewhat chaotic for a moment.

The audience watching the livestream also thought it was absurd.

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, everyone finally understood what had happened.

It turns out that it wasn’t Little Fox eating the chickens at all.

The three Little Foxes had come to the farm for a walk, possibly looking for food, and happened to witness the entire process of the Snow Mink committing the act.

The Snow Mink had eaten two chicks and then sneaked away.

Xu Yang happened to notice the situation with the chicks.

He stepped out of the courtyard, saw Little Fox, and naturally assumed that it was Little Fox who had eaten the chicken.

As a result, one Little Fox was captured as a “hostage.”

The other two Little Foxes then figured out how to rescue their companion.

After the rescue, the more the foxes thought about it, the angrier and more wronged they felt.

They were not willing to let it go.

So, the three little guys returned to the forest, found the Snow Mink, beat it up, and brought it to Xu Yang.

Generally speaking, foxes can’t catch Snow Minks since Snow Minks are members of the weasel family, their hunting skills second only to those of the cat family, and they can even climb trees.

But the three foxes teamed up and managed to catch the little guy.

Foxes don’t eat Snow Minks; members of the weasel family have a strong odor and are not part of their diet.

They didn’t harm it fatally.

Then, the three Little Foxes brought the “prime culprit” to Xu Yang.

Seeing the wronged Little Foxes, Xu Yang actually felt quite guilty for a moment.

“I was wrong, I was wrong; I didn’t realize it wasn’t you.”

“Here’s some beef jerky for you!”

Xu Yang, taking responsibility for his mistake, quickly pulled out some beef jerky from his pocket and handed it to the Little Foxes.

The beef jerky he bought was quite soft and fluffy, tasted good, and could easily be bitten into.

Only after eating the beef jerky did the three Little Foxes stop making noise, feeling fully satisfied.

Little Black watched the excitement from the side.

Wagging its little tail, oblivious to what had happened.

The atmosphere in the livestream room was lively.

[Host, quickly apologize to the Little Foxes!]

[You actually wronged such adorable Little Foxes!]

[Ahhh! These Little Foxes even know how to prove their innocence!]

[They’re too cute!]

[My gosh, these Little Foxes are so smart!]

The netizens, having understood what happened, spoke up for the Little Foxes.

Xu Yang then squatted down again to check on the Snow Mink’s condition.

There were bloodstains at the corner of the Snow Mink’s mouth; it hadn’t cleaned them off, and there were traces of coagulated blood on its claws, indicating it had just killed.

Clearly, it was the one that had killed the chickens just now.

“So it was you, you little thing.”

“Quite fierce, eating my little chickens!” Xu Yang said, seizing the Snow Mink.

The Snow Mink gazed at Xu Yang with its black, glossy eyes, warily sizing him up.

Snow Minks generally prey on rabbits and mice and are natural predators of rodents.

But because there was a hole in the wall of the chicken coop, the Snow Mink had been able to slip in and thus helped itself to two chicks.

To it, the chicken coop was like a buffet.

A single chicken is just a few dollars, not expensive, and now that the hole has been blocked and Snow Minks can’t climb walls, there’s no worry about it getting back in.

Xu Yang said in an unhurried tone:

“Though Snow Minks have been domesticated as pets nowadays, and many people keep them…”

“Wild Snow Minks are First Level protected animals.”

“On the same level as the Giant Panda.”

“I really can’t do anything to it.”

“This incident was also my fault for not noticing the hole under the chicken coop.”

“This little guy can only be released.”

Xu Yang announced.

Upon hearing this, the audience in the livestream laughed and teased:

[Snow Mink: Yes, it was me who ate the chickens, come on, kill me!]

[Hahaha, a First Level protected animal! Even if it ate all the chickens in the coop, there’s nothing you can do!]

[Indeed, the chicks aren’t worth much; you really can’t touch it.]

[Animals from the mountains are so interesting!]

At this moment, three little foxes were playing with Little Black.

As they were all members of the canine family, they got acquainted quite quickly.

The saying “birds of a feather flock together” likely comes from how easily foxes and dogs become friends.

Xu Yang, seeing the foxes at play, grabbed Little Black and walked out, heading to the outskirts of the farm.

He squatted down and placed the snow mink on the grass.

“Off you go, and don’t come back.”

“Go to the mountains and eat rabbits instead of preying on my chickens!” Xu Yang said to the snow mink.

The snow mink, looking a bit dizzy, stood on the grass for a moment before turning and running straight toward the mountains.

It moved deftly and quickly disappeared into the foliage.

Xu Yang found the experience he just had quite interesting.

Who would’ve thought his farm would attract both snow minks and foxes?

Now that the ecosystem was flourishing, there were indeed many wild animals around.

Xu Yang walked back to the farm, where the little foxes were still frolicking with Little Black.

The events that had just transpired made Xu Yang feel he owed an apology to these little foxes.

After all, who would have expected that the culprit was “another mink”!

He returned to the kitchen, took some apples, cut them up, placed them on a plate, and came out to feed the foxes.

Foxes are omnivores; they mainly eat meat but they also enjoy fruit.

Xu Yang thought feeding them apples might improve their diet a bit.

“Here you three, come and eat the apples, I’m apologizing to you,” he said.

“I wronged you.”

Xu Yang apologized candidly.

These days, the ability to admit one’s own mistakes is a precious quality.

He squatted down, placed the plate of apples on the ground, and pushed it toward the little foxes.

The little foxes cocked their heads, eyeing Xu Yang.

The three little creatures were quite adorable and mischievous.

Seeing their demeanor, it seemed they had grown up together, and were now living apart from their mother.

Little foxes, after reaching a certain age, would leave their mother to live independently; some choose to stay together for a while.

They appeared to be in this phase.

They seemed just matured, not yet fully grown, and very agile.

The live-stream was quite amusing.

The viewers hadn’t expected Xu Yang’s live broadcast to be so entertaining.

First, he taught ducks to swim, and now this.

Of course, Xu Yang hadn’t anticipated it either.

Raising chickens could lead to an unexpected case of mistaken identity.

Xu Yang watched the adorable little foxes.

The little foxes were still somewhat wary of him. If Xu Yang approached, they would take a few steps back.

Building trust is a slow process.

Xu Yang was not in a rush, just watching them.

However, the viewers in the live-stream room were extremely excited.

[There are so many animals in the mountains, and now little foxes are running out!]

[They look so cute!]

[I really want to pet them!]

[If only I could raise a few!]

The viewers casually chatted in the live-stream room.

Standing to the side, Xu Yang looked at the foxes and explained:

“There are indeed many wild animals in the mountains, mostly roaming in search of food.”

“If I go into the mountains with a few milk bottles and feed the roe deer and little sika deer a few times,”

“they’d come running out to find me whenever I enter the mountains.”

“It’s not uncommon to see wild animals wandering into the village occasionally, nobody finds it strange anymore.”

“Foxes are quite common.”

In places like theirs, there were plenty of birds, foxes, hedgehogs, and so on.

Leopards and Northeast Tiger, however, were very rare.

Rarity among rarities.

The Changbai Mountain Range is vast, home to countless species.

So, seeing a few little foxes make their way to his farm didn’t ruffle Xu Yang.

But the little foxes were so adorable that Xu Yang hoped to befriend them.
