Oh no! The fox cub <\3

I just realized I don’t know how the POVs connect. All of a sudden I feel like the timelines are not in sync, Bao may be in the present while Snow’s pov is in the past…

“The word "xian" can be taken to mean "immortal, transcendent being," or even "fairy." But there are other names for foxes as well, ranging from "bujing" (fox spirit) to "huyao" (fox demon) to "hushen" (fox god). Just like people, foxes seem to come in all shades of gray.”

“Truth is a green garden hedged thickly with bamboo that he can't escape. At times he envies those who seem unfettered by it. Hearing lies is painful and lonely, especially when no one else can.”

“But curiosity has always been my weakness. It's the same for most foxes, and why we often linger, wondering what that peasant is planning to do with his pitchfork. It's part of our quick-wittedness, our dizzy charm and carelessness. The way we live, always on the edge, running along the tops of stone walls and fences.
Between civilization and the wilderness.”

I'm so tired, I desperately want to know how this will end, but I don't have the energy for it😭😭.

I'd know how this will end, but I don't have the energy for that😭😭💔.
