Chapter 181: Waiting of the little fox, a new guest in the grassland (1/2)
After meeting the reindeer tribe, Ning Fei rested in the mountains for another night, and the next day he rode Black Handsome and left the area.
At the end of the night, Ning Fei still had a hang of wild boar meat in his hand, so he cooked an outdoor barbecue, which was tasty.
“At last, the wish in my heart was fulfilled.”
On the way back, Ning Fei remembered the stories his master had told him about the reindeer tribe when he was a child.
When his master was young, he travelled to the Ewenki region just in time for the reindeer tribe to migrate from the mountains to the grasslands, and saw the helplessness and sadness of the hunters after their hunting guns were taken away.
Nowadays, when Ning Fei looks at it again, the hunting culture of the reindeer tribe is still being passed on.
This is a good thing.
The process of civilisation was moving forward and there was always some culture that would be passed on in its own way.
As an onlooker, he was quite content to see such a cultural legacy.
In ancient times, traditional Taoist priests, apart from practising and enlightening themselves in the Taoist temple, were more likely to travel the world, going to the great rivers and streams in pursuit of the Dao, or hanging out at Taoist temples around the world to discuss the Dao.
Only nowadays the Taoist administration is more formalised and there are far fewer Taoists travelling the world.
“The world outside is indeed wonderful.”
“It’s time to go back, quite miss those few little ones.”
As he raced through the wasteland, Ning Fei felt very happy.
The wolves of the wilderness were attracted by Ning Fei’s movement and looked up towards him. The wolf king thought of Ning Fei’s terrifying aura from two days ago, and simply didn’t dare to have any half-hearted thoughts of hunting.
The wolves were the only beasts on the grassland that were more dangerous, so without them, the journey back was safe.
That night, at the tribe’s gate.
The little fox was standing at the tribe’s gate, looking forward to the arrival.
When Ma Yao and Li Yan saw the little fox, Ma Yao sighed in admiration.
“How did Ning Fei raise this white fox, I’ve heard of dogs guarding the gates after their masters leave, it’s the first time I’ve seen one like the fox guarding like this.”
Since the day after Ning Fei left, the little fox had often lain outside the tribe’s gate, looking in the direction of the northeast.
The look was full of anticipation and waiting.
Li Yan also sighed with emotion, “The spirit beasts that Master Ning has raised are truly very humane.”
And then, Li Yan stepped forward and said to Little Fox, “Master Ning is coming back soon, he should arrive this evening, we saw him hurrying back as we watched the live broadcast.”
Hearing her words, Little Fox stood up at once and became excited, still staring into the distance with unblinking eyes.
It wasn’t long before both Little Dog and Little Fei came running out as well.
The two of them were more playful, both still little puppies and little chickens, but they would also run outside the tribe from time to time, looking at the pale grassland in the distance and waiting for Ning Fei’s return.
Often they can only wait for the sunset to slowly fall from the end of the grassland, and the sky full of stars that follows.
Just at this time, from afar, Ma Yao saw a black dot at the other end of the grassland, coming towards the tribe at breakneck speed, and he immediately shouted, “Look, Ning Fei has returned.”
He was just about to warn Little Fox, but he found that Little Fox had long since leapt out.
At the same time, Little Dog and Little Fei also ran over.
Ning Fei rode Black Handsome as if he were running in the wind, and his speed was extremely fast.
The little falcon hovered above his head.
The drone headed in the direction of the tribe, and the netizens were excited to see the tribe.
“Look, it’s Ma Yao’s tribe.”
“Master Ning Guan has returned.”
“Look at the ground guys, there is a white shadow and a brown shadow, is it Little Fox and Little Dog?”
“That’s right, it’s the two of them.”
“They’ve come out to greet Master Ning.”
“Little Fox and Little Dog are really so warm-hearted, it’s enviable.”
“Everyone, look closer, there seems to be a little yellow chicken behind them.”
“It’s Little Fei, it’s running too slow.”
“Little Fei: have been offended, try running against a four-legged one.”
The netizens also felt happy.
Ning Fei saw Little Fox and Little Dog from a distance and burst out laughing.
Getting closer, he told Black Handsome to slow down, then leapt down to the ground and stretched his arms forward.
The little fox came up to him, jumped and rushed into his arms, and immediately cried out in excitement.
Ning Fei hugged the little fox and felt extraordinarily content.
The little dog wanted to rush up too, but it was a little too slow and the position was already taken by the little fox.
He circled around Ning Fei, his tail wagging happily and barking repeatedly.
Ning Fei was half-crouched, holding the little fox with one hand and stroking the little dog’s head with the other, playing with the two creatures.
