Liu Dahu's eyes are fast, he took out the hunting knife and threw it quickly, the little fox hind legs, the little fox wailed, fled in embarrassment, but could not go away due to injuries, Liu Dahu caught up with the fox, captured it alive, and took a closer look, this is the little fox that was given to Widow Li, but it seems to have been injured, and the hind legs are slightly lame.
Liu Dahu secretly thought in his heart, this smart little fox must have been cared for by Widow Li, so he would become more and more clever, and even dare to steal the hunter's prey, he did not teach the little fox a lesson for his naughty punishment, but lightly took it back to Widow Li's house, explained the situation, and treated her wounds, although Widow Li was grateful, she also tactfully admonished the little fox not to be willful and reckless, to avoid harm.
