Our family has two Luhua chickens, and the family's pocket money depends on the eggs laid by these two Luhua chickens.

One winter day, our family had just fallen asleep when we heard a cackling of chickens coming out of the chicken coop outside. The sound was very urgent, and my father suddenly got up and said, "It's broken, it's broken, that thing is here!"

I know that it refers to the wild fox. We are located in the deep mountains, and foxes often come and go, and it happens that the chickens and ducks in the farmer's house are pulled away by them from time to time. If the "bank" in the house is stolen, will it be alright? My father immediately put on his clothes and ran out without even bothering to wear his shoes, but he was still a step too late, and an old hen was gone.

The next night, my father opened the front door of the chicken coop, left a small hole in the back, and placed Lao (a tool for catching foxes and weasels) on the back hole. This arrangement was intentional. The fox is very cunning. It usually does not enter through the main door of the chicken coop and likes to go through the side door.

In the evening, my father and I were draped in clothes, lying quietly at the window and looking out through the window lattice. At eleven o'clock, there was a sudden muffled sound of "plop plop" from the chicken coop, and my father said in surprise, "I got it, I got it!" The two men ran out to check the results of the battle.

In the moonlight, I saw a big fox with one leg stuck in Laos, struggling desperately. Seeing someone coming, the fox became more anxious, squeaking and struggling desperately. My father carefully grabbed the fox and walked into the house in Laos. Under the oil lamp, I saw that the fox's fur was fiery red, a rare red fox.

I heard my father say that fox skins are the most valuable in winter, especially red foxes. At least one can be exchanged for forty or fifty yuan, which was a lot of money at that time. With this money, my father can buy me a piece of cloth, find someone to make me a new dress, and eat meat buns during the New Year.

"Rich!" I said happily to my father, only to find his face serious, and then he said something that surprised me: "We have to let it go? " I was a little angry.

The father said calmly, "Look at it, its breasts are swollen, it must be a female fox feeding. If we don't let it go, its litter of foxes will die, do you have the heart?"

I was very disappointed, because in this way, my new clothes and my meat buns were lost, but in the face of my determined father, I had no choice but to shut my mouth.

The female fox's leg that had been clipped by Laos was broken, and it was still bleeding, so it seemed that the injury was not light. His father went to get the home-made knife medicine, sprinkled it on the female fox's wound, and found a piece of ragged clothing, tore off a piece of cloth, and bandaged it. When his father did this, the female fox did not resist and did not make any sound.

After dressing, the father carried the female fox to the front of the mountain, and before releasing it, he said to it, "Today I will let you go for the sake of your child, and in the future, you will do less harm to us poor people!" The female fox ran forward a few steps, turned around, and stood up like a human and bowed three times to her father. The mother fox's actions surprised me, thinking that this is a fox that has become a smart fox?

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, there was no burning grass in the house. My father went to the mountains alone to play pine cones pine cones. He went out at 8:00 in the morning and did not go home until 5:00 in the afternoon. My mother panicked, so she found a few neighbors and asked them to help find them in the mountains. The mountains were too big and there were too few people, and heavy snow fell from the sky, covering all traces. They searched for a long time but did not see any trace of their father. Seeing that it was getting late, a few people did not dare to stay in the mountains, so they had to go home.

My father was born without a body, and my mother knew that there must be an accident, so she cried all night. I didn't dare to sleep, so I got up and accompanied her.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a scratching sound coming from outside the door, and when I opened the door, I was shocked. Because the one standing in front of the door turned out to be the lame fox. At that moment, it had something in his mouth, and when he saw me, he put the thing on the ground, and then turned and ran away. I called my mother, and my mother picked up the thing and saw that it was my father's shoes. My mother understood something and asked me to call a few neighbors and follow the fox's paw prints.

A few people lit torches and followed the fox's paw prints into the mountain. Finally, the fox's paw prints disappeared in one place. A few people looked at the torches and saw that it was a trap set by a hunter.

Several people hurriedly got their father out of the trap and took turns carrying him out of the forest to the health center in the town. After the doctor checked, he found that his father had a slight concussion and a broken left leg. After some rescue, his father finally woke up.

It turned out that his father fell into a trap soon after entering the mountain. The trap was very deep, and his father's leg was injured again, so he couldn't climb out, so he had to cry for help. But he also understood that it was snowing heavily outside, and who would enter the mountain except himself?

Soon his father's voice became hoarse, and just as he was in despair, a small head appeared above the trap. Father looked at it, but it was a red fox. Father suddenly remembered the red fox he had rescued and shouted loudly, "Fox save me!"

The red fox also looked very anxious and circled around the trap countless times, but after all, it was just a small beast and couldn't save his father. His father also realized this, he thought about it, took off one of his shoes, threw the trap with all his strength, and said loudly, "Go to my house with your shoes in your mouth, and call someone to save me!" After his father finished speaking, he fainted.

The father sighed, "No wonder the old man said that the fox has spirituality, this is the fox who came to repay me for not killing!"
