Guilu Town Royal 7
Maorongrong and the townspeople cooperated very well and quickly cleaned up the aftermath of the flood disaster.
In the distance, the blue sky gradually dimmed, and the night encroached, sweeping away the last ray of sunset in the sky, leaving only the afterglow lingering in the air.
The setting sun peeked into the house from the window. Chu Li looked at You Chengze who was still sleeping on the bed with a dazed look on his face.
Several hours had passed since Zhou Cheng finished speaking, but the words still kept echoing in her mind, and she couldn't let them go.
She had considered the reasons for You Chengze's anger, but hadn't considered that it was because of her own words, "Why is Furry Furry so wilted?" Honestly, if Zhou Cheng hadn't taken the initiative to bring up the symbiotic relationship between spirit pets and their owners, she might never have realized it.
Coming from a different world, she embraces atheism and still struggles to adapt to such counterintuitive concepts as superpowers. If no one were to enlighten her, she would harbor prejudices, believing furries to be vulnerable and in need of human protection. In reality, in this alien world, they are the most exceptional and capable.
God gives certain abilities, and at the same time, he will inevitably give corresponding restraining forces.
They need a healthy and positive owner to maintain a symbiotic relationship.
These were things Chu Li had never thought of.
It's no wonder that You Chengze was so angry during this period. He likes small animals so much. His casual question would really make people who are familiar with the symbiotic relationship between animals and their owners angry.
So, when I saved her before...was it just because if I died, my spirit pet would also die?
Chu Li didn't dare to think about it too much. She felt that her emotions at the moment were inexplicable.
My chest feels heavy and uncomfortable, and a little sore and swollen, but I can't find a reason why.
Chu Li instinctively touched his chest and frowned.
The little fox beside her noticed her mood. It slowly stood up from the edge of the bed and jumped lightly into Chu Li's arms.
Chu Li was shocked and quickly hugged the little fox.
The furry creature in front of him raised its head and rubbed Chu Li's wrist with its little face.
Feeling the itch on her skin, Chu Li couldn't help but smile. She touched the little fox's head lovingly.
The next moment, she heard a rustling sound on the bed and a heavy gasp.
Chu Li looked up suddenly, but was distracted for only a moment. You Chengze was already sweating profusely and sat up suddenly.
"You Chengze, are you okay?" Chu Li asked subconsciously with concern.
She asked the little doll to treat You Chengze several times until the little doll rolled its eyes and thought she was making a fuss, and then she stopped the treatment.
She was worried about You Chengze's health.
As she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a surge of brute force on her shoulders.
You Chengze grasped her shoulders tightly, veins popping out on his bony hands, and a sharp pain came from both sides of her body.
Chu Li couldn't help but take a breath, raised his eyes slightly, and happened to meet You Chengze's red eyes.
His face was pale, and sweat was everywhere, soaking the hair on his forehead. The eye sockets under his hair were scarlet, frighteningly red. His eyes were cold and full of hatred, and the vortex in his eyes seemed to want to devour Chu Li.
Chu Li frowned, enduring the pain and said, "You Chengze, please let me go. What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
No, his condition was totally wrong.
Although she and You Chengze had not been together for too long, and although the man was always cold and sarcastic, she knew that he was a duplicity and would never lose control like he did today.
Chu Li frowned and was stunned. The little fox on the side was frightened by the sudden black shadow that came across. After seeing the person clearly, he noticed the hostility from You Chengze. Without thinking, he broke free from Chu Li's arms, jumped lightly onto You Chengze's arm, opened his mouth, and bit him hard.
Chu Li was shocked. She didn't expect the little fox to be so bold. She was thinking of breaking free from You Chengze, but the next moment, the man let go of her hand and his gloomy eyes fell on the culprit.
It's over, it's really over now.
Although You Chengze likes furry things, he would still get angry if bitten by an animal, let alone this fox who has always disliked him.
Chu Li was very anxious, his mind racing as to how to rescue the little fox.
In the next frame, the man in front of him took a deep breath, reached out, and hugged the fox tightly. The ruthlessness that had just filled his eyes instantly disappeared.
Chu Li was stunned on the spot, and for a moment he hadn't reacted to this sudden change. The only thing left in his mind was -
As expected of a taciturn person, his pet is his true love.
"Chengze is awake. How are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Zhou Cheng's voice broke the eerie atmosphere.
Chu Li looked towards the door following the sound and saw a young man walking in with a smile on his face and in a very good mood.
When he got closer to her, she heard You Chengze speak again: "I'm fine."
The voice is hoarse and weak, very deceptive.
"What's wrong with Xiao Li? Why don't you pour a glass of water for Chengze?" Zhou Cheng beside him smiled, poured a glass of water, handed it to You Chengze, and joked, "Forget it, little girls are very emotional, you should give in to her more."
Chu Li opened her mouth, wanting to say, "Brother Cheng, you're wrongly accusing a good person. She was almost murdered." But thinking back to You Chengze's distraught look, she thought that this man might not even realize what had just happened, so she swallowed her rebuttal.
You Chengze in front of him didn't say anything. He glanced at Chu Li out of the corner of his eye, then took the water from Zhou Cheng uncomfortably.
The flood problem in Guilu Town was completely resolved. Zhou Cheng was in a good mood. He patted You Chengze on the shoulder and told him about the deeds of Chu Li and Mao Rongrong during this period.
Maybe it was because he no longer had any burden in his heart, but he spoke a little exaggeratedly, causing You Chengze to involuntarily glance at Chu Li.
This made Chu Li feel uncomfortable.
"Can you get out of bed and walk around?"
You Chengze nodded, picked up the little fox and got out of bed.
"You two are now the saviors of our town. Ah Sui and the residents are planning a banquet for you. They're already preparing. Rest for a few days before leaving." Zhou Cheng paused, then looked at Chu Li and smiled. "Xiao Li doesn't want Cheng Ze's illness to relapse, right?"
Chu Li, who was in a daze, was enlightened and exclaimed "Ah" in confusion, then he immediately nodded when he came to his senses.
Zhou Cheng still smiled.
After a while, he led Chu Li and the other man out of the hut.
The sunset in the distance had long been swallowed by the darkness. In this small area, there were walls built with bricks, some of which were painted.
The place where floods used to frequently gush out has long been blocked by the tiger's superpowers, and the surrounding moist soil has been covered with green plants thanks to the efforts of the little brown bear.
The residents of Guilu Town were extremely happy. They built a fire around a small table, roasted meat and sang songs.
Maomao was also infected by the atmosphere, cheering and running hard on the spot.
Chu Li followed You Chengze, step by step, closer to the fire. As they got closer, the group of residents stopped eating and looked over.
"My benefactor! How was your rest?!" The person who spoke was a man in his fifties or sixties. He had a full beard on his face and was holding a glass of freshly brewed wine in his hand.
Without waiting for Chu Li to speak, Zhou Cheng took control of the situation and asked them to take a seat.
Chu Li had been busy and busy recently, so it was rare for him to see a lively scene here. He didn't refuse and just sat on the ground.
You Chengze patted the little fox's head, let it play, and then sat down.
"Drink?"
Chu Li's attention was attracted by the extra hand.
It was half a glass of wine, and under the campfire, the wine became more fragrant.
The one who handed her the wine was Ruan Sui. The confusion and fear she had felt in the morning had completely disappeared from her. She looked extremely gentle beside the warm campfire.
Perhaps worried that Chu Li would refuse, she smiled slightly and coaxed softly: "Fruit wine is not strong, Yueyue can drink it, do you want to try it?"
Chu Li was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that she couldn't drink. In the past, when she was stressed, she often went to the bar with friends to drink. She could drink quite well. But now that Ruan Sui had asked, she couldn't refuse. So she took the glass and took a sip.
The sweet and sour taste with a slight aroma of wine enters the throat. It is indeed not strong and tastes good. You will be addicted after one sip.
Chu Li drank several glasses in a row, and in the end he just drank a sip of barbecue and a sip of fruit wine.
The people around had been tense for a long time due to the flood disaster, but tonight they all relaxed and drank to their heart's content.
Chu Liyu glanced at You Chengze.
He had been forced to drink a lot of wine, and in the light of the fire, his usually pale face was flushed.
Chu Li thought that he probably wouldn't drink, after all, he didn't seem to be in good health.
Chu Li thought again, should she stop it? Can this taciturn person's body withstand the stimulation of alcohol?
"What are you thinking about?"
Ruan Sui's voice brought Chu Li back to his senses.
She shook her head.
The next second, Ruan Sui moved closer to her, looked up at the starry sky she hadn't seen for a long time, and suddenly said, "You and her are so alike."
Chu Li paused in drinking, then put down his glass and followed Ruan Sui's gaze, looking up at the sky.
The sky is vast and the stars are shining.
She knew that Ruan Sui was talking about her deceased eldest daughter Xiaoxiao.
"Your eyes are very similar, and so are your personalities."
"Brother Cheng said the same thing." Chu Li responded.
"Yes." Ruan Sui sighed, "I just feel a little sad that there are really two people in the world who are so similar. The moment I saw you, I even thought that Xiaoxiao had never left me."
Chu Li pursed her lips, unable to think of any words of comfort for a moment.
"When she was just born, she was very, very well-behaved, just like Yueyue, never crying or making a fuss. Later, when she learned to read, she insisted on going out of town with Acheng to hunt. Acheng was particularly fond of her and agreed to everything they asked." Ruan Sui's eyes were a little moist as she fell into long memories. "Later, she and Acheng met a spirit pet summoner at the foot of the mountain. Xiaoxiao liked him very much and pestered the summoner to become his apprentice."
