Chapter 218 The Lion Next Door
Nan Yu did not sleep well that night. She always woke up suddenly within two hours of falling asleep.
After two or three times, she simply gave up sleeping, got up from the bed, sat on the balcony, and looked through the medical book left to her by her master.
The medical book was worn out, the paper was yellowed, and it was covered with ink handwriting. It was obvious that Nan Yu had read it many times and took many notes.
In fact, Nan Yu already knew this book by heart.
But when she felt uneasy, she would always take it out and read it again, as if her master was still by her side, making her feel at ease.
Nan Yu finished reading the last page, closed the medical book, and put it together with the silver needle left to her by her master.
When she turned around, she saw Xiaoba beside the bed, watching her movements intently with his round black eyes wide open.
Nan Yu pushed the box deeper into the closet and said to Xiao Ba, "The things in here are all very important to me, so they must be hidden well and not be discovered by others."
Xiaoba seemed to understand. He moved his eyes to the side and stared carefully in that direction, as if he was remembering that thing.
Nan Yu put her things away, picked up the dog leash on the ground, and put it around Xiaoba's neck.
She squatted in front of it and said, "I have to go out today and won't be back until very late. I will cut the beef and bring it up to you to eat."
"I may have to lock you up in the bedroom for a while. If you feel bored, you can go to the balcony to bask in the sun, but you are not allowed to scare the family members."
Xiaoba nodded his head obediently, "Roar~"
Nan Yu smiled with satisfaction and said, "I'll buy you a toy to play with tonight."
After saying that, she tied the other end of the rope to the balcony door. The length of the rope was enough for it to move throughout the entire bedroom space.
Xiaoba lay on the ground, sticking out his tongue, like a good dog.
"I'll go cut the meat."
Nan Yu stood up and walked out of the bedroom.
As soon as I went out, I saw Wang Ma and Qi Ming standing at the door. When they saw Nan Yu coming out, they immediately stood up straight.
Qi Ming retracted his gaze, looked at Nan Yu, and said with a smile: "Madam, the beef you asked me to buy has been bought and is downstairs."
Nan Yu rolled up her sleeves, took the apron from Wang Ma and put it on. "I'll go downstairs and cut some beef for Xiaoba. I'll feed him once in a while. In the evening, you can feed him once more as I tell you."
Mother Wang was still looking inside with curiosity, but when she saw the beast baring its fangs, she couldn't help but feel fear in her heart and took a step back in fear.
She covered her heart and followed Nan Yu downstairs, "Madam, it's not safe to keep this lion in the bedroom, why not put it in an iron cage and keep it in the backyard?"
Nan Yu paused for a moment as she was going downstairs, then continued walking down.
"You are all so afraid of lions. It's not convenient to keep it in the backyard. Wait a few days and I'll find a place to keep it."
Wang Ma was about to say something, but Qi Ming next to her interrupted and said, "Young Madam, why don't we keep the lion in the villa next door?"
Nan Yu saw the large piece of beef in the kitchen and picked up the kitchen knife. When she heard Qi Ming's words behind her, she turned around and asked in confusion, "No one lives in the villa next door. Isn't it inappropriate to keep it in someone else's house?"
Qi Ming smiled and said, "The house next door is also the Huo family's. Because the young master likes quietness, the old lady was afraid that he would not be used to being neighbors with others and would find them noisy, so she bought three villas that year. The middle one was used as the wedding house, and the two villas on the left and right were left idle and occasionally taken care of."
Nan Yu: "..."
Are you so rich?
Mother Wang also said quickly: "The rooms next door are very big. There are rockeries and running water in the backyard, and there are many plants. No one lives there on weekdays, so it's best to keep it there!"
