Chapter 200

Do you have a family?

Ling Yue froze; after telling the boss, the other party was also very surprised. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh, trembling, and said: "Could it be that I'm abducting a fox?"

The fox Snowy said: "What are you saying? Little Fox doesn't understand!"

Since it wasn't getting off work early, it couldn't muster any spirit, and flicked its sleek, glossy big tail: "Little Fox is just a fox; supporting a family is really hard."

After saying that, it sighed in a very human-like way.

The viewers in the live stream seeing this scene had their hearts melt, and they kept howling——

【Ahhh Snowy is so cute, tell big sis, what kind of sack do you like?】

【I'm reporting, the upstairs is kidnapping a little fox! I have evidence!】

Because of Little Fox's little actions, it attracted a bunch of enthusiastic viewers, and Little Fox thus became completely famous.

Little Fox didn't really feel its fame; it only knew that lately many people liked to come play with it, receiving lots of red tickets, and it excitedly spun around on the bar counter. As a good fox, it naturally knew who was responsible.

The fox Snowy rubbed against the shop owner: "Thank you; if it weren't for you, Snowy wouldn't know how to support a family."

Perhaps it had been a long time since it had a companion to talk to, and the store's clumsy little cat it didn't like to engage with, so upon meeting Ling Yue, who could communicate with it, the fox Snowy had a lot to say.

From Snowy's incessant chatter, Ling Yue also learned its background: it was a little fox from the mountains, and having just come down the mountain, it had gone hungry for several days; wanting to eat meat, it was chased away by the shop owner.

Later it realized that the human world wasn't as simple as the mountains; to eat anything you need money, but as a little fox, what money could it have?

The fox Snowy rubbed its face: "If the boss hadn't taken me in, Snowy would have starved to death with my little companions long ago; the boss is really kind, but unfortunately, as the head of a household, I still have a little human to support, so I can't accept the boss's offer!"

Saying this, it puffed up its small body, feeling very proud and confident.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue instantly furrowed her brows, her expression arousing curiosity among many viewers.

【What's wrong with the streamer? What did Snowy just say?】

【Why do I suddenly have an ominous premonition?】

【Ptooey ptooey ptooey, upstairs shut your mouth, don't speak if you're a jinx!】

【I'm done for, I can't understand animal speech, no way I can guess what Snowy just said; streamer, please explain quickly!】

【Streamer, don't be like that, I'm scared o>_

Ling Yue lifted her head and saw the viewers' wild guesses on the live-stream screen, all veering off to Siberia, and instantly she had a black line across her forehead.

She pondered for a moment, then said: "Everyone, stop guessing wildly; just now, because of Little Fox's words, it said it's the head of a household, and there's a little human crying for food at home—I need to figure out what's going on."

At the same time, the viewers who heard this——

【Waqu, streamer, if you don't explain it's fine, but the more you explain, the scarier it gets!】

【Could it be, could it be a hairy child!】

This remark instantly evoked childhood shadows for countless people; many hometowns have circulated such a legend: infants thrown into the woods are taken in by wolves/tigers and other wild beasts, growing up covered head to toe in fur, and people call them hairy children.

Adults are best at scaring kids; when a child misbehaves, they say: "Behave worse, and we'll throw you into the mountains to become a hairy child!"

Especially for some mountain village children, the memory is especially fresh.

【At that moment, I suddenly slapped my thigh so hard it felt like ninety-nine cats hitting it, his face full of sudden realization: "So Snowy previously taking the small change was all to raise a child? Where did it pick up the child? Is it really a child?"】

Speaking of this, the shop owner couldn't help feeling a bit ashamed; he had thought the little fox was purely a petty money-grubber, never expecting that at such a young age it already bore the responsibility of a family!

Sigh.

Upon hearing this, the fox Snowy unwillingly bared its teeth at him: "What do you mean 'real'? Yueyaer is the little human I picked up; I've been raising her for a long time!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue could finally be certain that there was more behind it; thus she spoke up and asked the fox Snowy: "Can I take a look at the Yueyaer you mentioned?"

The fox Snowy blinked, then happily said: "Can you help Yueyaer find her parents? I need to work, I have no time to stay with her, so I can only keep Yueyaer hidden in her little den; she's been especially unhappy lately, I bought her favorite little roasted chicken, but she doesn't like to eat it……"

Saying this, it couldn't help but clutch its big tail: "I'm still a single fox, I have no experience raising young; I'm afraid I'll raise her to death QAQ"

Ling Yue: "……"

Good grief, the more she listened, the more she worried about the little girl.

Ling Yue nodded without hesitation: "Of course, I can help you! First, tell me how you picked up Yueyaer."

Her intuition has always been sharp.

After saying that, Ling Yue hadn't yet had a chance to ask the cat café shop owner, when he quickly said: "Streamer, I can go with you to see the little girl Snowy picked up, and I can also call the police!"

Listening to their conversation, this is indeed a living human being; the shop owner is not a cold-hearted stone, and he wants to do what he can to help.

Ling Yue nodded: "Sure."

She had originally planned this anyway; Tan Shi is not close to Jing Shi, and it would take her several hours to get there, but this concerns a living human being, so there's no room for delay.

The shop owner's willingness to go in his stead is the best plan.

While the shop owner was instructing the staff, the fox Snowy pressed itself against the screen and began chirping urgently.

"We've agreed, human—you must help my Yueyaer find her parents!"

Ling Yue naturally nodded, then after speaking she looked at the barrage: it was a mess of comments, all from viewers who had been close-up "attacked" by Snowy.

【Ahhh it's so cute and pretty, the little fox! It looked at me, it's nuzzling me! It has me in its heart!】

【Friends, who? Who took a screenshot? I want wallpaper; this cute overload has emptied my health bar!】

【Hehehe… fox… kiss… hehehe nuzzle suck… fox hug…】

【……Upstairs, is there no one in this world you're attached to? Hurry up and put on some pants! 【disdain】【disdain】】

In the car, the little fox almost lay flat on the screen, chirping and communicating with Ling Yue; she is now an animal-language translator, giving directions while listening to the fox's and Yueyaer's stories.

Its first sentence left her stunned.

Fox Snowy: "Actually, to be precise, Yueyaer is someone I snatched."

Ling Yue: "??? What does that mean?"

Little fox Snowy: "Yueyaer was locked in a small hut by someone; I dug a dog hole and brought her down from the mountain!"

"The incident happened in the mountains, several days ago——"

As a native mountain fox, Snowy was usually carefree; its biggest daily worry was how to catch prey, and the fruits it liked to eat were often stolen by pesky little birds.

After a while, it unintentionally discovered a group of strange people; as soon as they arrived, they seized the little wooden cabin deep in the mountains, and the fox Snowflake was furious!

Because that was its home!

Because it was a mutated pure-white fur fox, its color didn't match the ordinary red foxes, so Snowflake didn't get along with the fox pack; later it found the small cabin left by an old hunter and naturally moved there.

Who would have thought that on that day, the little fox carrying home sweet berries hadn't even reached its doorstep when it saw many, many humans directly moving into its home!

The bright red fruits rolled everywhere with a pitter-patter, and in the little fox's simple fox life, it encountered its first thunderous blow.

After living there a long time, having painstakingly fixed up its nest, it returned to find its home occupied!

Fox Snowflake: 'Give me back my nest!'

It stood aside, and the more it observed, the more it found this group of humans to be bad—they actually mistreated the young!

'...... Many human toddlers were locked up by them in the house, crying all day, truly so pitiful!'

Upon hearing that, Ling Yue's face instantly turned cold; she immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, but due to the crowded and chaotic live-stream room, she didn't directly voice her suspicion, instead asking the shop owner: 'Have you called the police?'

The latter blinked: 'Ah? Do we need to report this to the police?'

Ling Yue smiled slightly: 'Why couldn't we report it? When one's own child goes missing, parents are certainly anxious; once we reach our destination, you can call the police—they have a missing children database.'

Upon hearing this, the netizens gave a thumbs-up: 'The streamer is so thoughtful!'

As the little fox's description grew more detailed, Ling Yue could already be certain: this is definitely a large-scale human trafficking case!

The little fox Snowflake suddenly pinched the tip of its tail, asking her in a half-understanding way: 'Human, do you know what organ harvesting is?'

A chill suddenly rose from her feet; even in a warm, spring-like indoor setting, it could not dispel this coldness, and Ling Yue heard her own tense voice: 'Why are you asking this?'

Snowflake said, dazed and confused: 'I heard those child-abducting bad people say they want to harvest and dispose of all these children.'

In an instant, Ling Yue could barely control her body; she trembled all over—how could there be such people? They aren't human, they're worse than beasts!

Suddenly, the shop owner's voice came from ahead: 'Capital Stream Road Blue Sky Estate, streamer, we've arrived.'

Ling Yue took a deep breath, said nothing more—not because she didn't care, but she suppressed her anger deep inside, she tried to keep her tone calm as she said: 'Snowflake, quickly take us to find Yueyaer.'
